Lin Xiaodong really did not enter the palace this time for Jingji.

As I said before, the Empress Dowager Changfeng has a son and a daughter, but only Jing Ji is her own.When the late emperor was around, she even used her own son mercilessly in order to compete for favor, let alone her adopted daughter who was not her own flesh and blood.

When the first emperor was there, the Empress Dowager Changfeng would occasionally care about the life of her adopted daughter in order to fight for favor; once the first emperor died, she directly and completely rejected the useless adopted daughter, and devoted herself to the great cause of fighting for power and profit with Lin Dongqing.

Therefore, the standard of living of the dignified princess of a country is not even comparable to that of the prostitute daughter of a small rich family.

When Lin Xiaodong came, he deliberately didn't let anyone report it. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the princess who was more than one year old wearing a thin dress, and the cotton coat outside was already dirty, crawling crookedly on the cold floor tiles. , and tried to stuff an unknown species of spider into his mouth.

The maids and nannies who served nearby were sitting around the charcoal stove, chatting and knitting on their own, and no one cared what the children on the ground were doing.

The young man's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "What are you doing?"

It was only then that everyone in the hall discovered Lin Xiaodong's arrival. Although they didn't know which lord it was, everyone recognized the black official robe on Lin Xiaodong's body. They were scared out of their wits and knelt down on the ground in haste .

"Sir, spare your life!"

Lin Xiaodong walked up to the princess with a cold face, bent down and picked up the child.

Although he has never raised a child, just looking at the young girl's flushed face, snot nose, and weight as thin as a kitten, it is clear that these bold guys have never thought about taking good care of their children.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Changfeng despises this child, there will be no shortage of the most basic divisions every month.

She is a princess after all.

But looking at the dusty displays in the palace, the tattered masonry floor, and the princess's obviously ill-fitting clothes, where did these distinctions go?

The answer is self-evident.

Lin Xiaodong took the handkerchief from the servant, and slowly and gently wiped off the dirt on the princess's face. The little girl was suddenly picked up, but she was not afraid, but opened her eyes as big as black grapes. Looking at the young man above his head, he suddenly giggled and stretched out his hands in a gesture of hugging.

"pa... papa."

Someone gasped, but Lin Xiaodong ignored it.

"You guys are so brave." He raised his eyelids and glanced at them, "Don't you want your head if you dare to belittle the princess so much?"

"My lord, we—" The nanny suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red and she wanted to beg for mercy.But Lin Xiaodong felt deeply bored, he didn't like to use power to suppress others, but after coming to this world, he was always forced to use these methods again and again.

Let's end it quickly, he thought coldly.

"Let's deal with it according to the laws of the palace." He said lightly.

But the maid and the nanny collapsed on the ground in despair in an instant. Everyone knew that this was a matter of losing their heads!

All of a sudden, there were shrill cries in the palace.

After a stick of incense, the impatient Jingji finally got another message from the eunuch.

He stood by the desk with a stiff face, and the movement of holding the pen and inscribing was paused. After a long time, his pale face moved his lips, and he talked to himself in a faint voice.

"Lin Dongqing, what exactly does he want to do?"

Just confining his mother and confinement, being impeached by dozens of ministers of the court is not enough, and he entered the palace without an order, so he came up and dealt with the servants of the imperial sister's palace on his behalf?

Outrageous!

Even though Jing Ji was also full of anger after knowing that those daring servants dared to treat the princess like this, Lin Dongqing's move still made him very angry.The young man tightly held the pen holder in his hand until it made a creaking sound, which made the eunuchs in the study tremble with fear.

But after a while, the boy suddenly relaxed and showed a bright smile.

"Okay," he put down his pen, and said loudly, with an excited look on his face, "Come here, I want to reward you heavily!"

The eunuch thought that his ears had misheard: "Your Majesty, you said just now that you want to reward Mr. Lin?"

Shouldn't this be an outrage?What else is there to reward?

"That's right," Jing Ji said with a smile, "It's because I was negligent, little Youzi, you go and ask Mr. to come to the study for a while, and I want to thank him well!" After a pause, he said again, "Oh, that's right. , after Mr. comes over, you can go to my private vault and take out that white fox scarf, understand?"

Xiao Youzi carefully observed His Majesty's expression, and found that the young man's face was truly grateful, so he lowered his head and responded thoughtfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

And when he conveyed Jing Ji's words to Lin Xiaodong, Xiao Youzi noticed that the young man's face that looked bloodless in the cold wind stretched his brows in a rare way, revealing a smile.

This smile came suddenly like a night of spring breeze, almost stunned Xiao Youzi.

Mr. Lin... he looks really good-looking.

Fortunately, before he was noticed, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to take another look.

Lin Xiaodong was really in a good mood, so even though he noticed the slightly offensive look in the little eunuch's eyes, he didn't say anything, just said: "It's just right, I also have something I want to discuss with His Majesty, so I will ask my father-in-law to lead the way."

Xiao Youzi was flattered.

But in fact, most of the time, Lin Xiaodong behaved very approachable.From the time travel to the present, he has always maintained a restrained attitude, insisting that people will not offend me and I will not offend others. It would be great if this period can be smoothly transitioned.

It's a pity that it seems to be underestimated.

Arriving at the study, before entering the door, Jing Ji hurriedly ran out of it.

The young man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a red cashmere scarf from Persia around his neck. Looking up at him, his eyes were full of longing: "Sir, you are finally here!"

Different from the appearance of forbearance before, this time, Jing Ji completely expressed his yearning for Lin Dongqing in words, and it seemed that the affairs of the Empress Dowager Changfeng had no influence on him at all.

The boy even took Lin Xiaodong's wrist affectionately, pressed him on the chair in the study, and brewed a cup of hot tea for him.

"Since Mr. is weak, don't come here in person next time in winter." Jing Ji looked at Lin Xiaodong and bowed his head to sip his tea after thanking him. The smile on his face deepened. "I heard that you adopted an adopted son? You can definitely let him He enters the palace on your behalf, and he can enter the palace at any time, I agree."

But in fact, Lin Dongqing has no right to enter the palace privately at all, but Jing Ji gave him the highest trust and unique detached status as a courtier with a light word.

Lin Xiaodong laughed lowly, put down the teacup, raised his head, and looked him over carefully.

Jing Ji was able to maintain his smile at first, but soon, his smile became a little stiff under the silent gaze.

"……gentlemen?"

The youth pretended to be a little immature, but Lin Xiaodong was not mistaken, this is a cold blade that has already shown its edge.He looked at Jingji's young and handsome face and slender figure with admiring eyes, as well as his height that was almost the same for a few days, and those eyes that became more peaceful and deep after repeated setbacks.

If it grows long, it is not difficult to imagine the aura of the world.

"Your Majesty has grown up." He said comfortingly, with a hint of meaning in his tone.

Jing Ji was stunned for a moment, his thoughts changed sharply, thinking that Lin Dongqing would have discovered something, but he smiled without any abnormality on his face: "Mr. observes carefully, and the imperial doctor also said recently that my stature is getting a little anxious. , and now my knees are aching every night."

"Really?" It was Jingji who said it casually, but unexpectedly, the young man showed a serious expression, and even frowned indistinctly, "Does it hurt?"

Jing Ji slightly opened his eyes wide, feeling a faint, unexplainable feeling in his heart.

"It's okay." He lowered his eyes, unwilling to discuss this issue too much, and asked instead, "Don't you have something to discuss with me, sir? I don't know what it is?"

Lin Xiaodong let out an "ah" and didn't notice the little emperor's strangeness, but said indifferently: "Whether this matter is big or small, it's just that in northern Xinjiang, their old Shanyu fell off his horse while hunting. , I'm afraid time is running out."

Jing Ji immediately frowned. For Jing Chao, Northern Xinjiang was like a thorn stuck in his flesh. If he didn't pull it out, he would be in pain all the time. , must be hurt.

When the first emperor was in power, he was busy quelling the civil strife, so he had no time to manage the northern border. After winning a battle, the imperial court ordered the army that had already reached the king's account to withdraw immediately due to the problem of food and military expenses... Thinking of this, Jing Ji took a quick look at Lin Xiaodong's face, because at that time the one serving as an aide in the army was Lin Dongqing, who is now the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and Minister of Industry.

Not being able to capture Shan Yu alive is his lifelong regret.

"Then," Jing Ji considered his words carefully, "what's your plan sir?"

Lin Xiaodong glanced at him calmly.

"Hit," he said.

"When Shanyu dies, Northern Xinjiang will inevitably fall into civil strife. Although his second son is not the designated successor of Shanyu, he has more prestige in the hearts of the people of Northern Xinjiang than the eldest son. In order to fight for the position of Shanyu, he will definitely send someone secretly People come to the capital to contact His Majesty, hoping to get Jing Chao's support."

Lin Xiaodong carefully analyzed the current situation in the world for him, "The barbarians talk a lot but don't believe them. Your Majesty must also be aware of their wolfish ambitions. If you don't take this opportunity to wipe out most of their power, I'm afraid it won't be more than ten years. In a few years, Xin Shanyu will subdue his forces and make a comeback in the frontier."

Jing Ji pursed his lips tightly. He hadn't heard any news about Shan Yu's health before, and even when the matter of northern Xinjiang was mentioned in the court, some ministers vowed that the old Shan Yu was strong and strong, at least he could live again 20 years.

This proves that Lin Xiaodong's intelligence network in the frontier is far superior to anyone in the Jing Dynasty, and the other party puts so much effort into cultivating these talents, I am afraid... just to realize their long-cherished wish one day.

"Mr. is right," he said, "This time is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Jing Chao..."

Fortunately, the first emperor only gave birth to a son, so Jingji was able to sit on the dragon chair without any dispute.But even so, when the young emperor ascended the throne, there are still many people who are secretly ready to move. If he goes to the northern border at this time, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?

Lin Xiaodong saw Jing Ji's hesitation, and he said in relief: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you really want to fight, it must not be now. Shan Yu is not dead yet, and he has eight sons in total. Li Beijiang is really in chaos. Definitely a while."

"Eight?" Jing Ji's mouth twitched, "This is really possible."

"That's right," Lin Xiaodong sighed, "I'm afraid Shan Yu didn't expect that the territory he took so hard to conquer would soon be torn apart again."

Although it was very tragic, as Jing Chao people, Jing Ji and Lin Xiaodong looked at each other, and they both saw the gloating emotion in each other's eyes.

The atmosphere in the study relaxed for a moment, and the corner of Jing Ji's mouth couldn't help but put on a sincere smile.

He coughed and caught a glimpse of Xiao Youzi coming in holding a white fox scarf from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he stood up in a daze, walked in front of Lin Xiaodong, and covered the young man's eyes with his hands.

"Sir," he said with a smile, "I have to thank you for the imperial sister's matter. Guess what reward I plan to give you this time?"

In the darkness, Lin Xiaodong blinked his eyes.

"Jewelry?"

"No."

"Kings antiques?"

"Not at all."

Following this question and answer, Jingji's body gradually stiffened. He felt the touch of the young man's long eyelashes under his palm, and felt that he must have lost his mind before, otherwise, how could he do it? Making such... such an intimate gesture?

This is Lin Dongqing!

"Your Majesty?" It seemed that he had noticed the boy's silence, and his soft voice rang in his ears.

Jing Ji came back to his senses abruptly, withdrew his hand in embarrassment, pointed to the white fox scarf that Xiao Youzi put on the tray beside him and said, "It's this one, I wonder if you like it, sir?"

Lin Xiaodong quietly looked at the white fox scarf, then suddenly stretched out his hand and picked it up from the tray, but for some reason he didn't put it on.

Jing Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that Mister doesn't like it anymore."

"Not really, it's just that I already have a white fox fur cloak at home," Lin Xiaodong said briskly, "and I personally think that this white fox scarf is more suitable for Your Majesty."

Jingji was dumbfounded.

He looked down at the cashmere scarf around his neck, took it off happily, and handed it to Lin Xiaodong: "Since Mr. likes this one more, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Xiaodong put on a scarf with the warmth of a teenager, stood up naturally, and put the white fox scarf around Jingji's neck.

Feeling the chest approaching suddenly, Jing Ji suddenly opened his eyes wide, and stood on the spot like a wooden stake, allowing Lin Xiaodong to move.

hateful.

What the hell is going on with this man?

It's too daring!I am the emperor!

But when the young man's shallow breathing accompanied by a soft voice sounded in his ears, Jingji's head was burnt to a paste immediately, and he stood there in a daze, feeling Lin Xiaodong's icy fingers The tip brushed against his neck, and he let the other party tidy up his collar, as if he was floating in the clouds.

Lin Xiaodong didn't even respond to calling him several times.

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

At first, I thought that this kid was a bit more mature, but now it seems that I should forget it.
