Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

After a brief discussion with Lin Shurong, Ming Tan decided not to tell anyone else this clue.

It was even rare for her to put on a serious princess airs to Mallow, and gave the other party an order in a cold voice not to allow the latter to report the matter to the queen.

From spring to summer solstice, the seasons changed, and the severe drought in Yuanzhou finally passed under the relief of the imperial court.The aftermath of the disaster was complicated, and the fact that farmers had scarce harvests and could not pay taxes this year was enough to cause the emperor a headache for a long time.

The government treasury was opened for disaster relief, but those officials refused to stop, all of them seemed to have been bitten off a piece of meat, arguing in the court all day long - talking loudly, for the sake of the common people; Secretly harboring ulterior motives, what he thinks about is how much money he can add to his pocket.

And the former dynasty and the harem are also inextricably linked.Hubu Shangshu Zhu Zhishen won the emperor's award for his "meritorious service in disaster relief", and Concubine Ning's status in the palace rose even higher.

As mentioned earlier, the factions in the harem are complicated, and it is normal for concubines to form gangs; the reason why Song Guifei can be so rampant in the imperial garden and openly insult Jing noble is that she has a good master, it is Concubine Ning Zhuxi Voice.

Below the position of concubine is the noble concubine, and Concubine Ning is gaining power, no wonder Zhu Song Yidang will be bolder, even Ming Tan, the ninth princess, is not in his eyes.

"In the current situation, beating a dog depends on the owner."

Lin Shurong stood beside the patch of manjusri, lowered his eyes, and glanced at the clusters of snow-white flowers all over the ground.

"What's more, the matter of His Highness's poisoning has long been suppressed, and now he suddenly mentions it. It is inevitable that he will be suspected of provoking trouble, and the other party may take advantage of it."

"You're right," Ming Tan nodded, and added coldly, "Besides, the current clues are far from enough. Even if I can rely on my favor and sue my father, I can't determine the real culprit behind the scenes at all. Who is it..."

"The time has not come." Lin Shurong concluded in a slow voice, looked at Ming Tan with some concern, and sighed slightly, "Your Highness, please... I will be wronged for a while longer."

Ming Tan sneered nonchalantly, put his hands behind his back, and raised his eyes and smiled at the other party, "Only by setting a long line can you catch big fish. This grievance is bearable."

She blinked, the expression on her face suddenly narrowed, and she couldn't help but grab Lin Shurong's hand again, urging: "Okay, this is the end of the business - if you go back to the palace in a while, and the smoothie is finished, you will be fined tomorrow. I'll chisel out another ten bowls!"

Miss Lin may not cut ice for her in person, but she will definitely stand by the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning to personally welcome the little princess who left the palace in disguise for the first time.

Ming Tan opened the curtain, was supported by Mallow and jumped out of the carriage. As soon as he stood still, he raised his head and smiled at Lin Shurong, "How is it? I'll be on time, right?"

"Of course you keep your word." Lin Shurong bowed his eyes and made a "please" gesture, "My mother and sister-in-law are in the front hall, please move into the house."

At this time, it was time to go to court, and Prime Minister Lin had not yet returned to his residence.Therefore, in order not to attract attention, Lin Shurong was the only one standing at the door to greet her.

"Well," Ming Tan nodded, without putting on airs with her, he said directly, "Mallow, bring a gift, it's a good time to meet Mrs. Prime Minister and Young Master Lin."

Lin Shurong smiled and said, "Your Highness loves you."

The two of them just chatted casually and walked into the mansion slowly.

Lin Xiang has been an official for more than ten years, but he is a confidant minister who was promoted to the position of prime minister by the emperor himself.He followed the route of a virtuous minister, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was also bestowed by the emperor, so although the layout is not luxurious, it is also not poor and simple, but very elegant and classic, with a bit of literati's charm in it.

Ming Tan knew that he was a guest, and he didn't want to keep Mrs. Lin and the younger brother of the Lin family waiting for a long time, so he didn't look any further, and only speeded up his pace silently.It wasn't until she was about to reach the door that she suddenly stopped, tilted her head to look at Lin Shurong, and silently urged her with her eyes.

The latter smiled, stepped across the threshold first, and said with a smile: "Mother, Ah Xun, Princess Yonghui has arrived."

The next second, there was the sound of a seat moving in the room, and a middle-aged woman's voice: "Please come in, princess!"

Ming Tan swallowed nervously for no reason, took a deep breath, and then walked into the front hall.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Lin raised her head, just in time to see a delicate-looking little girl in a white dress stepping through the door.

Her eyes are like dark ink, her lips are like red sakura, she looks like carved jade, and she is full of noble air; even though she is still young, she can still clearly see that she is a first-class beauty embryo.

According to rumors, Princess Yonghui is domineering and commits all kinds of evil. The Lin family has always been worried that their eldest lady will be bullied by the other party.

But now, in terms of looks...

It cannot be said that it is exactly the same as the rumors, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it.

Mrs. Lin has always liked children, and seeing Ming Tan being so cute, she immediately fell in love with her, and she couldn't help but softly said: "President Lin Su, I have met His Royal Highness Ninth Princess."

She was about to kowtow and salute according to the rules, but Ming Tan strode forward at this moment, supported Madam Lin, and said with a sullen face, "Madam, there is no need to salute!"

Mrs. Lin was taken aback, but panicked, "The rules are like this, a courtier's wife should greet the princess..."

"As a junior, Ming Tan has been invited by Eldest Miss Lin to be a guest, how can he accept such a big gift from you?" Ming Tan frowned, and said firmly, "Madam, please get up quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Ming Tan would be so polite and respectful, far from the spoiled and domineering princess in his impression.Mrs. Lin was really surprised now, she turned her head to look at the smiling daughter, and then at Ming Tan who looked very serious, she couldn't help but was a little moved: "This..."

However, as soon as she spoke, a disdainful cold snort came from beside her, causing Ming Tan to turn her head to look.

I saw a young man squinting his eyes, looking at himself with disgust on his face, and said in a cold voice: "Pretentious!"

"Xun'er!" Madam Lin was startled, and hurriedly yelled at her son, "Don't be rude! Hurry up and apologize to the princess!"

Lin Xun stiffened his neck without any fear.

He has been a chivalrous young man since he was a child, he hates evil like a vengeance, he wakes up every day thinking that he is the light of the righteous way, he has entered the advanced stage of the second disease since he was born, and there is no cure for it.

And he is not only in the second grade, he is also rebellious.

"Hmph, I'm not wrong!" Lin Xun said angrily, "It is rumored that the nine princesses murdered and set fire in the palace, full of evil. Yesterday they killed the palace maids, and today they tied up the imperial sister. Their behavior is so bad, it is lawless!"

Ming Tan: "..."

She withdrew her hand on Mrs. Lin's arm, moved it back to her chest, and rolled her huge eyes towards the sky.

oh my god.

Unexpectedly, Ming Xiao's scolding before was quite well-founded - her rambling public opinion was really just like what the other party said, "It's like the reincarnation of Yasha".

Ming Tan curled his lips, trying to defend himself, "Little Master Lin, actually..."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun hadn't finished cursing, so he turned his head and glared at her, and continued to plausibly say: "A few days ago, my sister went to the palace to be her accompanying student, and when she returned to the mansion, she locked herself in the study room and kept silent. I don’t know what kind of bullying I’ve been subjected to, but mother—you’re still so kind to the culprit? You’re so confused!”

"..."

The veins on Ming Tan's forehead twitched, and he was speechless.

Your sister locked herself in the study because she was autistic?

There is no mistake!She is clearly giving me a question during the night of burning lights, okay? !

I, the culprit, was the one who was really bullied! !

Seeing that the smiling face just now disappeared from Princess Jiu's face, but Lin Xun was still speaking out loud, Mrs. Lin was trembling with anger, and she was afraid that Ming Tan would have an attack here, so she couldn't help but subconsciously cast her eyes on her daughter.

Lin Xun, the little demon king of the world, has always only listened to his sister's words, even if Lin Xiang came forward to discipline him, it was useless, how could she restrain this son?

On the side, Lin Shurong kept silent for a long time, just wanting Lin Xun to curse a few more words, so that Ming Tan could further understand his reputation among the people.

But seeing that her mother was in a hurry and her younger brother was scolding her, Lin Shurong had no choice but to step forward, and when she was about to speak, Princess Jiu waved her hand lazily, signaling her not to speak for the time being.

"Young Master Lin."

Lin Xun, who was named, turned his head violently, with a mighty face that could not be subdued.

Ming Tan was almost amused by him, but fortunately he couldn't hold back his smile, and still maintained an unfathomable expression on his face, and said calmly: "You keep saying that I committed crimes in the palace, and your words are so convincing, could it be that you saw it with your own eyes? See?"

Lin Xun choked, rolled his eyes, and then said straightly: "How can there be waves without wind? The people in Beijing are all talking like this, so there must be a reason for the incident, no matter how much you argue!"

"Oh? Young Master Lin also knows the truth of 'no wind, no waves'?" Ming Tan smiled slightly, and said slowly, "Then according to your statement, don't I have another secret to kill the palace maid? Isn't it the same to tie the emperor's sister? There is a reason for this? You have a noble character and cannot tolerate sand in your eyes, but why don't you want to find out the truth, and instead come to scold me directly?"

Lin Xun was taken aback by what she said, and felt a little strange in his heart, and hurriedly wanted to refute: "But..."

Ming Tan didn't give him a chance to speak, so he changed the subject and said again: "If you want to talk about rumors, I just happened to hear some rumors about you - everyone in Beijing said that Mr. Lin's family The eldest lady is both talented and beautiful, she is well-educated and well-educated, and she is known as an 'indistinguishable Jinshi'. It should have been a great fortune for the Lin family to have such a girl in the prime minister's mansion, but what happened..."

As soon as she finished the first half of the sentence, Lin Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped up in anger, saying repeatedly: "Shut up! Shut up!"

"...However, the second young master is quite rebellious. Not only does he not like reading, but he is all about wielding guns and clubs. He just wants to be a vulgar martial artist," Ming Tan ignored him and finished speaking in one breath. He said with emotion, "It's really a great regret for the Lin family."

Lin Xun blushed, and gritted his back teeth, wishing he could shut her mouth, "These are all gossip to smear my Lin family, how can you believe it!"

Ming Tan smiled and said: "Then dare to ask Young Master Lin, is there something wrong with your heart for martial arts?"

"..." Lin Xun pursed his lips and did not answer. He took a peek at Lin Shurong, saw that his sister was expressionless and had no intention of speaking for him, so she let out a sigh of relief and said mournfully, "Yes... I He is indeed good at martial arts, but he has never neglected his studies. I don't think it is my Lin family's regret."

Seeing the young man who was still high-spirited just now drooping his head and drooping his eyes like a defeated fighter, Ming Tan stopped his smile instead, looked at him calmly, nodded solemnly and said: "Indeed, a man is good at martial arts and has high ambitions. This must not be Lin's regret."

Unexpectedly, Ming Tan would say such a sentence at all, Lin Xun raised his head suddenly, his expression was astonished, but he couldn't hide his joy, and said eagerly: "You really think so?!"

Ming Tan raised his eyebrows, but did not answer the question instead: "Why do the rumors say so? Naturally, those who spread them deliberately did so. If you are close to the prime minister's mansion, you will say that you are not vulgar; you have the intention of being hostile. If you don't, you will say that you have fallen into the trap. Turning black and white, confusing right and wrong, all depends on your rhetoric and power - this truth, young master Lin understands now?"

Lin Xun stared at her blankly, and said blankly, "You, what do you mean by that?"

"I want you to push yourself and others," Ming Tan said indifferently, "I killed the maid, and it was nothing from the beginning to the end; and the kidnapping of the imperial sister was just because she was the first to speak rudely and intended to do something to me, so Just fight back."

"Things that are circulating in the market... Heh." She laughed lowly, her tone was meaningful, "It's just the words of those capable people who want the common people to hear. How can it be true or credible? Woolen cloth?"

After saying these words, Lin Xun was already shocked on the spot, his face was full of bewilderment, and he didn't show his teeth and claws at all like before.

Seeing him not moving for a while, Lin Shurong sighed, and finally rolled up his sleeves, reminding his younger brother: "Ah Xun, why don't you apologize to Princess Nine soon?"

Lin Xun trembled all over, came back to his senses, bit his lip subconsciously, and looked at Ming Tan dryly, "I..."

"There's nothing to apologize for," the latter saw his embarrassment, he simply waved his hand casually, and shrugged, "In my opinion, your brother's innocence and youthful spirit are better than your wooden, talented woman." I don't know how many times better!"

As a result, as soon as the words were finished, Lin Xun rolled his eyes reflexively, jumped at her and said, "You are not allowed to say that about my sister!"

"..."

Ming Tan pressed his forehead with a headache, took a deep breath, "I don't need to speak for you, my princess!"

Lin Shurong couldn't help laughing at the side.

Seeing that Princess Nine turned big and small things into small ones with just one word, and taught Lin Xun to be obedient, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but look at this child with admiration.

She is so clever, clear, and understands more than many adults. She deserves to be His Majesty's most beloved Princess Yonghui...

She smiled kindly, and all the grievances and defenses against Ming Tan in her heart had completely disappeared. Just as she was about to order her servants to serve tea, she suddenly heard a notification from outside:

"Ma'am, the master is back from court!"
