Lin Sishen knew that Shen Qinghou was dissatisfied with his eagerness to get rid of the relationship just now, so he sighed lightly, his expression became softer and he asked softly, "You pulled me in, what do you want to say?"

Shen Qinghou's face was cold, and he looked at her indifferently: "Do you know what reward His Majesty has prepared for you today?"

Lin Sishen's heart moved, and today the Ninth Prince mentioned something to her intentionally or unintentionally when he was in the general's mansion. She thought it was to hint at her something. I should seek an errand in the court, the rewards in previous years were gold, silver and jade, so could it be that the reward this year is an official position?"

A little bit of intelligence would do the trick, Shen Qinghou nodded, and said with satisfaction, "That's right, this year His Majesty's lottery is the vacant post of Military Member Wai Lang."

Lin Sishen took a deep breath, and a dark light flashed quickly in his eyes: "The princess wants me to win this prize?"

Shen Qingwei nodded lightly: "Your reputation in the capital these years is indeed not good, even your father is not good at asking for an official position for you in front of His Majesty, as long as you win the lottery today, you will be able to enter the officialdom in a legitimate way. "

Lin Sishen frowned slightly: "I never thought about entering the officialdom."

Shen Qinghou's deep eyes looked at her fixedly, as if he could see through her little thoughts at a glance: "After you and I get married, His Majesty will definitely reward you with an official position."

If she was waiting for the emperor's reward, she could only get an idle job in the future. If she won the lottery today, she would be able to take the job of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, legitimately.It is justifiable to take it or wait for the emperor's reward. From the perspective of outsiders, the difference is not small.

Lin Sishen knew that Shen Qinghou was reminding her that it was time to pave the way for her future, she closed her eyes after pondering for a moment and said, "I will do my best."

Seemingly hearing the perfunctory in Lin Sishen's words, Shen Qingwan vaguely mentioned: "Although General Lin is a second-rank official and is deeply favored by His Majesty, but General Lin has a strong temper and offends many people on weekdays. Mr. Lin, as the young master of the General's Mansion, should always be considered for General Lin."

It is not a trivial matter to become an official in the court. In the past, Lin Sishen really didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the court, but now that the battle for succession is intensifying, General Lin is really powerless in the court alone.

Lin Sishen's expression froze, even though he was a little reluctant, he had to admit that Shen Qinghou was right.She should indeed pave the way for herself and the general's mansion. Serving in the court can at least take care of each other with General Lin.

After the two chatted, footsteps suddenly came from outside the camp, and the Ninth Prince opened the curtain with an unfriendly expression, and walked in slowly.

For fear that outsiders would hear their conversation, Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou stood a little closer, with only one step between them.

In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, this is obviously a bit too intimate, even though the marriage contract between Shen Qinghou and Lin Sishen has been finalized, Shen Qinghou also said that she likes Lin Sishen.But seeing Lin Sishen so close to his beloved daughter, the Ninth Prince still couldn't help frowning.

Ninth Prince's eyes were like flying knives, staring straight at Lin Sishen coldly.

Lin Sishen coughed lightly, and retreated two steps knowingly.

The Ninth Prince stepped forward and stood between the two, blocking Lin Sishen's gaze.Looking at the jewel in his palm, the Ninth Prince's eyes softened a lot in an instant: "Wu'er, Brother Huang is coming soon, go out with the father to meet you."

The corners of Shen Qinghou's lips raised slightly, and he closed his head and said, "Yes, Father."

Lin Sishen followed Ninth Prince and Shen Qinghou step by step, and as soon as she walked out of the tent, she noticed that many probing eyes were cast on her.

And she didn't need to look at one of the eyes full of hostility and jealousy, she knew it must be from Wen Xuanyang.

It didn't take long before the emperor who was sitting on the dragon came late, and the old emperor with the dragon robe and golden crown and hair tied up looked more and more powerful under the admiration of everyone.The two people who followed him were also extremely conspicuous, the prince wearing a boa robe with a gentle temperament, and the second prince wearing a purple robe with a haughty expression.

As usual, the old emperor praised the former emperor a few words, and then gave a few words of encouragement, then handed over the matter of arranging the spring hunting to the prince, while he sat leisurely on the high platform, seemingly absent-minded.

After some clichés, the crown prince loudly announced the start of the spring hunt. The sons and daughters of the aristocratic families who participated in the spring hunt got on their horses with high spirits. Under the signal of General Lin, Lin Sishen also rode his black horse, holding the quiver on his back and holding the curved horse. bow, she looks more handsome and heroic in a black robe.

She caught a glimpse of Shen Qinghou getting on the horse not far away, and the Ninth Prince held the rein with his own hands, and seemed to be very worried and whispered instructions.

General Lin came over, patted the horse's back, and said in a low voice: "In a while, you remember to follow the princess closely to protect her safety."

Lin Sishen said helplessly, "Are you asking me to hunt tigers, or to be the princess's guard."

General Lin frowned, and seeing her acting foolishly, he couldn't help scolding her in a low voice: "Don't make excuses, there will be mistakes if you are not careful, the princess is your wife, her safety is of course more important."

Glancing at the corner of Lin Sishen's lips, he muttered, "Don't worry, Daddy, no one here can hurt her."

While the two were talking, Lin Sishen suddenly noticed a gaze on her, she looked back as if feeling something, and saw the second prince sitting next to the old emperor looking at her with a slight smile.

There was a smile on the handsome face as sharp as a knife, but there was a trace of coldness in the deep starry eyes, and the smile on Lin Sishen's lips disappeared instantly.

In front of the crowd, the commanding soldier holding the yellow flag shouted loudly and waved the flag in his hand. Immediately, there was a roar of horses. Countless horses carried the vigorous young lady on their backs and rushed into the deep forest in front of them. Even the stones on the ground were shaken up.

After a slight glance, Lin Sishen came back to his senses and lowered his eyes, seeing Shen Qinghou stalking away, and then followed.

The prey in the deep forest were put in early by the imperial guards. Among them were some hares and roe deer. Lin Sishen followed closely behind Shen Qinghou, with people shooting arrows from time to time. The sharp arrows whizzed through the air accompanied by the screams of dying animals Voice.

Lin Sishen didn't look back, she didn't even bother to look at the panicked prey beside her, but stared directly at Shen Qinghou, and accelerated her horse to rush to Shen Qinghou's side.

Shen Qinghou's face was frosty, and her fair face was slightly flushed in the cold wind. She looked sideways at Lin Sishen, frowned slightly and asked, "What are you following me for?"

Lin Sishen pulled the rein and said with a smile, "Of course it's protecting the princess from random arrows."

Shen Qinghou's voice was broken by the wind: "Don't worry about my safety, you should find your future."

Lin Sishen was sure, she looked back at the many people following behind her, and narrowed her eyes: "Following the princess will naturally find it."

The people behind followed Shen Qinghou and Lin Sishen closely, and it was unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional, but they did not know what their intentions were.

In past spring hunting, people were mistakenly injured as prey from time to time. Lin Sishen was extremely vigilant, fearing that they were coming towards him and Shen Qinghou, so he lowered his voice and hurriedly said, "There are always people following behind us."

Shen Qingwan just glanced back, and then asserted: "They have no malicious intentions."

Hearing this, Lin Sishen followed and looked back, and sure enough, he found that the group of people who followed had dispersed, galloping their horses in different directions.

Shen Qinghou straightened the rein suddenly, and the white horse under him stopped after raising its hooves and roaring. Lin Sishen also stopped when he saw this.

Others were excitedly searching for prey in the deep forest, while Shen Qinghou and Lin Sishen rode tall horses and strolled leisurely in the deep forest.

Passing through a bamboo grove, a gurgling stream appeared in front of her eyes. Shen Qinghou turned over and fell off her horse and walked slowly to the side of the stream. She, dressed in white, stopped on a bluestone, and stood silently with her hands behind her back, as if she was looking at the opposite side of the stream.

Lin Sishen watched her back let go of the rein, jumped down, and walked to Shen Qinghou's side. She followed Shen Qinghou's gaze, and happened to see a long-haired dog standing beside a clump of green grass on the opposite bank. spotted doe.

The doe was gnawing on the green grass beside the stream. Its belly looked huge, as if it was pregnant and about to give birth.

Lin Sishen glanced at it, then took out a sharp arrow from the quiver on his back, and put it on the bow.

Seeing her move, Shen Qinghou on the side frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak until the end.

Lin Sishen concentrated and calmed down, the arrow moved on the bowstring with his fingertips, accompanied by the slight tremor of the bowstring, the sharp sword came out of the bowstring, and went straight to the pregnant doe.

Shen Qinghou's gaze followed closely behind, seeing that the sharp arrow missed a bit and hit a tree next to the elk.

Startled by the sudden movement, the doe fled away in a panic, but the arrow that Lin Sishen shot emptied trembled strangely when it was stuck in the tree trunk.

Shen Qingwan took a closer look, and then understood.

There was a black venomous snake with fangs on the tree, and it was entrenched on the trunk. Because the pattern on its body was very similar to the trunk, it was hard to distinguish.

The poisonous snake was precisely shot through seven inches by the sharp arrow, and after twisting a few times, it died motionless.

It turned out that Lin Sishen didn't intend to shoot the pregnant doe at all, her goal was the poisonous snake that was about to move.

Shen Qinghou turned her head and glanced at her, with a calm expression on her cold face: "Even if you let it go, others will still shoot it."

"That depends on its fate." Lin Sishen shrugged nonchalantly, she just couldn't bear to see the doe pregnant, if the doe was unlucky and was rescued by her, and someone else was shot, It's none of her business either.

There was silence all around, it seemed that no one came here, but it was possible to talk about something while it was quiet.

The bottom of the gurgling stream under your feet is clear, and many small fish can be seen swimming and playing. Shen Qingwan lowered his eyes to watch, and said softly: "It seems that you have already guessed it."

Lin Sishen nodded, found a clean piece of bluestone beside Shen Qinghou, and sat down cross-legged with a casual flick, smiling lazily: "Even if I don't shoot an arrow today, someone will bring fame to me."

Shen Qinghou stood beside her, glanced at her faintly from the side, then smiled and said, "I just don't know whose love you want more."

The emperor's reward is an official position, the crown prince and the second prince naturally knew about it long ago, Lin Sishen secretly worked for the second prince and the prince didn't know.

General Lin is from the crown prince's camp. In order to win over General Lin, the crown prince will naturally take advantage of this good opportunity to give Lin Sishen a reputation.

Although the Second Prince would not help Lin Sishen blatantly, he would also help Lin Sishen secretly.

With the people arranged by the two of them, Lin Sishen didn't have to do anything today, and his fame would be pushed in front of her.

Lin Sishen smiled softly, raised his hand and folded off a sprig of dog's tail grass behind him, and held it in his hand to play: "Compared to them, Sishen wants to accept the princess's love more."

She really wanted to understand that no matter how she tried to hide, the crown prince, second prince and even Shen Qinghou would push her to the front of the screen.Since she couldn't avoid it, she could only accept it calmly, but she had to choose a side in the end.

If you want to avoid offense on both sides as before, it is obviously impossible. Neither the second prince nor Shen Qinghou are easy-going lamps.

Shen Qinghou smiled faintly when she heard the words: "You are cunning, you said that in front of me, if you said that in front of the second prince, I am afraid you would say the same thing."

Lin Sishen raised his eyes to look at Shen Qingwei, and said to him from left to right: "The second prince's mind is not difficult to guess, but the princess's mind is the most difficult to guess."

It's easy to guess what the prince and the second prince are thinking, because they are all for the throne, but Shen Qinghou, as a princess, is involved in it, which is inevitably a bit weird.What's more, Lin Sishen still doesn't know who she is working for.

A smile suddenly flashed across the cold face, Shen Qingwan looked at her firmly, and said softly, "Do you want to guess what I'm thinking?"

Lin Sishen's white fingers rolled up and down, and in just a few words, she actually wove a green grasshopper out of dogtail grass. She put it in her palm and played with it with great interest: "I think it's the same thing, can you figure it out?" It's something else."

Shen Qinghou looked at the grasshopper in her palm, and said with a feeling, "It's not a good thing if people see through it easily."

A piece of withered yellow leaf was blown by the wind, and slowly fell on Lin Sishen's hair. She looked up at Shen Qinghou, with a faint smile on her fair and delicate face: "Is the princess referring to me?"

Shen Qinghou's eyes fell on her waterfall-like hair: "Your thoughts are half easy to guess and half hard to guess."

The person in front of him seemed to have a gentle smile on his face forever, and his eyes were as clear as the stream under his feet. It seemed that the bottom could be seen clearly, but in fact there was a vortex hidden in the depth of the water.

Whether she is in front of outsiders or in front of her family, she always looks so careless, but Shen Qinghou knows that all her carefulness and step by step are hidden behind this face.

Lin Sishen put the woven grasshopper in the stream, and gently brushed the water surface with his white fingers, pushing the grasshopper into the distance: "The Princess is far away in Qingzhou, but she already knows that I work for the second prince. I want to come to the capital all these years. The wind and grass are all in the eyes of the princess."

Such a question is actually probing, and Shen Qingwan said softly, "What you want to ask is whether I know the reason why you work for the second prince."

Sure enough, talking to a smart person is exhausting, Lin Sishen nodded, looked at Shen Qingwei seriously, and said seriously: "Then do you know?"

Shen Qinghou flicked his sleeves: "Since I asked you to cooperate with me, I naturally know your weakness."

Lin Sishen took a deep breath, and laughed at himself, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Strictly speaking, Lin Sishen frowned and asked again: "Since we know that the second prince is restraining me, how does the princess plan to win me over?"

"I said that as long as you are willing, in the future, I will protect the general's mansion and get out of it. The so-called getting out of the body naturally includes that person."

"In that case, the second prince said the same thing, so why should I trust you but not him?"

"That depends on how you choose."

In just a few short conversations, the two of them were calm on the surface, but in fact they were competing in secret. The last sentence Shen Qingwei threw out was almost an ultimatum.

Lin Sishen took a deep breath: "Can you allow me to think about it for a while."

Shen Qinghou raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You can think about it slowly."

Suddenly there was a chaotic sound of hoofbeats everywhere, Lin Sishen stood up and patted the dust off his body, and said with a smile, "It seems that fame has come to you."

Shen Qinghou looked at the surface of the stream, the grasshopper had already sunk into the water, and was being pecked by a group of small fish: "The time is just right."

There was a tremor in the grass not far away, and Lin Sishen walked quickly to push aside the thorns, and he found a huge hanging-fronted spotted tiger lying bloody in it, with several half-entangled feather arrows stuck in its belly, which looked like It looked extremely dire.

A dark light flashed in Lin Sishen's eyes, then he smiled and said, "It's really easy to get this benefit."

When Lin Sishen dragged the dead tiger back to the camp, many people had already returned, and some were accidentally injured, shot through the arm by a sharp arrow, and weakly carried down.

Although Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou stayed by the stream for a while, it took two hours to go back and forth. When she appeared in front of the crowd with the dead tiger on her back, everyone was shocked.

No one thought that the person who successfully hunted the big tiger this year would be this little son of the general's mansion whom no one would look up to.

Shen Qinghou, who came back with her, did not stop, walked straight to the Ninth Prince, bowed to the old emperor and sat beside the Ninth Prince.

At this time, almost everyone's eyes fell on Lin Sishen.

Even General Lin was stunned. Looking at Lin Sishen, who was still stained with blood, he walked over quickly, with an excited smile on his face, and before Lin Sishen got off his horse, he pulled her off.

He slapped her shoulder hard with his heavy palm, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Good job, haha, today you will make your father look good."

The crown prince next to the old emperor laughed lightly, and praised: "General Lin, Young Master Lin hunted and killed a fierce tiger by himself. It really is the tiger father who has no dogs."

The second prince nodded and echoed, "Young Master Lin is indeed unexpected, quite a bit like Lieutenant Lin back then."

The Colonel Lin he was talking about was Lin Sishen's elder brother Lin Sitao, who had won the first place in the Spring Hunt for three consecutive years.

The old emperor with white hair and beard glanced at the prince, and said calmly, "Since the tiger has been hunted, let's blow the horn."

The soldiers blew the trumpet, and after a while, almost everyone came back. The bewildered young masters saw that it was the tiger that Lin Sishen hunted and killed, and they couldn't believe it.

Among them, Wen Xuanyang was the most surprised. He even walked up to the front of the tiger for a closer look in front of everyone, and saw the word "Lin" engraved on the tail of the feather arrow on the tiger's body, so he had to believe it.

Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Sishen looked indifferent, and under the eunuch's reading, she stepped forward and knelt down to receive the reward.

Sure enough, this year's spring hunting prize was the position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War. The emperor had already drawn up the decree. He only needed to write Lin Sishen's name and give him an official seal. Lin Sishen would serve in the Ministry of War from now on.

In the end, Lin Sishen walked up to the high platform and knelt respectfully in front of the old emperor under the gaze of everyone.

An eunuch came forward holding the official seal, put the tray in Lin Sishen's hand, and stepped back.

Lin Sishen thanked her, stood up at the old emperor's behest, and was about to step back when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the little eunuch who had just presented the official seal secretly tilting his head and looking at the old emperor.

The fair-skinned little eunuch had a layer of sweat on his forehead, his head drooped and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, his hands were hidden in his sleeves as if he was gently picking something out.

Apart from the old emperor, the prince and the second prince were present on the high platform, as well as Nine Princes and Shen Qingwan on one side.

Everyone's attention was on Lin Sishen, but no one cared about this little eunuch with a weird look.

An ominous premonition welled up in Lin Sishen's heart. The moment she slowly got up, the little eunuch really moved. He quickly took out a dagger that was shining with cold light from his sleeve, and rushed to the high platform decisively. The old emperor above.

The guards of the two reacted very quickly, as soon as the little eunuch left, someone shouted for help.

Lin Sishen was the closest to the little eunuch, she dropped the official seal in her hand without the slightest hesitation, and quickly stepped forward to grab the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch looked thin and weak, but he had great strength. Lin Sishen grabbed his wrist with one hand and pressed his shoulder with the other, and was almost blown away by his internal force.

Everything happened in an instant, and being held back by Lin Sishen for just a few seconds, the little eunuch knew that his assassination was about to fail. With a twist of his wrist, the dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and it stabbed straight at Lin Sishen's left chest.

As the sharp edge approached, Lin Sishen quickly stabbed the dagger from her shoulder sideways. The sharp blade pierced through the clothes and sank into the flesh and blood. With a pop, scarlet blood gushed out immediately.

A burst of severe pain hit, Lin Sishen seized the opportunity to firmly hold down the little eunuch's hand, not giving him a chance to draw out the dagger.

At this time, the guards rushed forward one after another and pushed the little eunuch to the ground.

There was chaos above and below the high platform, the old emperor and the prince and the second prince had retreated away surrounded by guards.

Standing on the high platform, Lin Sishen felt the scorching sun above the sky darken her eyes for a while, and the dagger stuck in her shoulder was still gushing blood. She covered her shoulder and her face turned pale, and a sharp pain rose up.

She just felt that the world was spinning, as if the whole world had gone dark, and then she staggered back two steps, bumped into a wooden desk, and fell backwards with some instability.

It didn't fall on the expected cold ground, but it seemed to fall on a piece of soft cotton.

Lin Sishen struggled to open her eyes, she was injured, but she couldn't stay here, she couldn't let anyone other than Mo Zhu heal her, she couldn't reveal her identity.

But there was darkness in front of her eyes, and even though she tried her best, she couldn't help but fell into the boundless darkness.
