Xie Lin and the prince went back to the East Palace in silence.

Everyone in the palace is still unaware of the farce of the palace examination that happened in the previous dynasty. When the palace people saw the return of the master, they hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to report to Concubine Wen and Princess Jing.

The prince was in a state of panic, his eyes were full of confusion and fatigue, Xie Lin was afraid that his health was just right, and he would not be able to hold on, so he asked in a low voice when he got inside the house: "Your Highness looks bad, why don't you call the imperial doctor to have a look?" pulse."

Xie Zhao waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't go, third brother, it's good for me to rest in the palace, just now the situation in the palace, if I go to call the imperial doctor now, it will fall into the eyes of my father, I am afraid that I will make a fool of Qiao again. "

Xie Lin frowned: "The emperor is just speaking out of anger, but His Highness doesn't have to compete with his body."

"There is no need to persuade," Xie Zhao raised his hand to interrupt, closed his eyes and said, "I think the queen mother's birthday banquet tonight will not be peaceful. If the third brother wants to be wise and safe, he will pick up the princess and leave quickly..."

Xie Lin's eyes were concentrating, seeing that Xie Zhao's expression was depressed now, he stopped talking and forcing, and just backed out with a tense expression.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, Wen Sushu seemed to have been standing outside the door for a long time, and he didn't know how much he had listened to the conversation between the two.

With a forced smile and worry on his face, but still holding the posture that the concubine of the Eastern Palace should have, he said to Xie Lin: "Princess Jing is resting on the guest couch in the west courtyard."

"Thank you." Xie Lin nodded, without further words, "Take good care of the prince."

……

The west courtyard of the East Palace should have belonged to the backyard, but the crown prince Xie Zhao was self-reliant and seldom cared about men and women, except for the late princess and Wen Sushu who moved into the east courtyard for the convenience of taking care of the little emperor's grandson Xie He. , and only a few court ladies who taught the prince's personnel affairs were assigned to a corner of the northern courtyard due to their lack of grades.

The west courtyard has never been inhabited for a long time, so it has always been very deserted, and because the west courtyard is connected to the front house, it has become a guest residence.Xie Lin called a stable supervisor to lead the way, and not long after, he arrived outside the main house in the side courtyard where Bai Guo had a temporary rest.

The personal attendant who came from Prince Jing's mansion was dozing by the door, and when he saw his master approaching, he woke up with a jerk, and hurriedly greeted Ann tremblingly.

"After returning to the mansion, go to Wang Youquan and ask for punishment."

A steady and indifferent voice uttered from the mouth of a man with a steady posture. The attendant's face turned pale for a moment, and he cursed in his heart that he was getting carried away after staying with the princess for a long time recently, and the head hanging on his chest inevitably lowered again. His legs and feet were almost shaking like a sieve of chaff.

But fortunately, the attendant's sense was still there, and he kept telling himself that he must not lose his composure in front of His Highness, so he managed to suppress the fear in his heart, and just knelt down and confessed.

Obstructing the princess who was still asleep in the inner room, Xie Lin glanced at him indifferently when the attendant begged for mercy in a low voice.

...It's still quite interesting.

Xie Lin cried out and asked him: "What did the princess do this morning, and when did she rest?"

The attendant knew that he had escaped a catastrophe this time, so he exhaled from the bottom of his heart, and replied cautiously: "After the princess separated from the prince earlier, she went to the empress dowager's place to pay her respects. The concubine looked very happy. After paying her respects, the concubine, concubine Yu and concubine Qin came to the East Palace together. The concubines had a good time with the two little emperors and grandchildren. After the concubine was tired, she came here. Resting in the courtyard, it is almost half an hour now."

Xie Lin nodded, and asked again: "Prince Yu and Concubine Qin are also resting in the East Palace?"

The attendant shook his head and said, "Princess Qin took the little grandson down to Empress Li, and as for Concubine Yu, she was called away by His Royal Highness's people on the way."

When Xie Lin heard this, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, but he disappeared soon.

The house on the west side courtyard is often cleaned by the palace people. The house is clean and tidy at first glance, but it is not as exquisite as the main courtyard. The warm kang that the palace people have temporarily asked the palace people to heat up in advance is very warm. Sleeping on the quilt, her cheeks were pink and tender, and her face with her eyes closed was extraordinarily comfortable.

After entering the room, Xie Lin saw that Bai Guo was hugging the quilt tightly, almost covering his mouth and nose, he couldn't help but smiled and tucked the quilt back under his chin for someone else.

Ginkgo in his sleep seemed to feel something, as if a piece of the brocade quilt had collapsed, and a familiar breath came to his face, warm and dry.He subconsciously approached the heat source, squeezed himself into a familiar position, and only then curled up his mouth in satisfaction, and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, the winter sun cast a bright light on the window sills, and Bai Guo, who was full of sleep, woke up and found Xie Lin who was lying on the bed with him, his eyes gradually changed from dazed to joyful surprise, and he whispered. He raised his head happily and called out, "Your Highness!"

Xie Lin's eyes were slightly closed, but he didn't really fall asleep. He lightly stroked his palm on Bai Guo's abdomen, and exchanged a shallow kiss with the young man nestled on his neck looking up at him, and finally asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm..." Bai Guoxun hid under the quilt with blushing cheeks, found the man's hand, and hid herself under the brocade quilt, she lifted and pressed her fingers one by one, having a good time, her mouth Li also muttered about what happened after parting from the man in the morning.

Although Xie Lin had already heard most of it from the attendants, it was better to listen to the happy voice of the man in his arms. With a gentle expression, he patiently listened to the boy talking to him, nodding or smiling from time to time, and Or sometimes remind the young people who are dancing happily in the quilt not to kick their hands and feet out of the quilt.

The two cuddled and talked in the west courtyard for a whole afternoon. Near sunset, the attendants and palace servants were called into the house to change and wash the two masters. At this time, Xie Lin slowly gave an overview of what happened before noon. Give ginkgo.

"The banquet at night may be a bit uneven, but there is no need to be nervous." Xie Lin crowned Bai Guo and said, "Besides, the Eastern Palace lineage will have a hard time in the future. I know that you are close to Concubine Wen, but don't worry about it at that time." Whatever happens, we must take care of ourselves and our children first."

Bai Guo was very happy all afternoon, and only now did she know what happened to the prince, and she was suddenly worried: "...After all, it is the Empress Dowager's birthday, no matter how much your Majesty angers the prince, it should not be too much... ..." right?

The former dynasty and the rear palace had nothing to do with each other, and His Majesty should always be concerned about the mood of the Empress Dowager.

Xie Lin knew what he was thinking, touched the back of Bai Guo's hand, and then sent someone to hug a rabbit-shaped stove, and said slowly: "Whether your majesty wants to get angry with the crown prince on the queen mother's birthday, there will always be restless ministers who will persecute His Majesty, go there."

Bai Guo tightened his hand holding the rabbit heater, feeling that it was worthless for the East Palace lineage: "Since His Royal Highness entered the court, he has worked diligently and devoted himself to the people. Even if there is a mistake, the merit outweighs the demerit, so why is it so?!"

That's right, even the unfavored children who were surrounded by their stepmother He's in the Marquis of Changping since childhood have heard of the virtues of the prince Xie Zhao, how could others not know?

It's just that people's hearts are changeable, and ambitious people are always good at messing up the calm lake water and making profits with it. These people have long been blinded by interests, and they only want to pull the high-ranking people down, so that they can It is possible to earn a monstrous contribution from the dragon.

Bai Guo was not angry in her heart, her cheeks were swollen angrily due to the delicious food and drink after her pregnancy, Xie Linshi smiled and stretched out her hand to rub it, but said: "When it's the birthday banquet, don't worry about it." You have to have such an expression, or others will see it..."

"So what if others can see it?" Bai Guo opened his mouth, revealing a row of teeth aggressively, as if Xie Lin couldn't say it well, so he wanted to take a bite.

Xie Lin said naturally: "Others have seen it, and they must arrange it, saying that the princess in Prince Jing's mansion eats and sleeps with King Jing every day, but after getting married for a year, she was assimilated into a murderous one by the notorious Prince Jing." The vicious little Yasha."

"Where is such a cute little Yasha like me?!" Bai Guo widened her eyes, watching the man talking nonsense.

Xie Lin was caught off guard and leaned over to kiss his cheek, and said with a smile: "It wasn't there before, but now it is."

Xie Lin made a fuss about their originally dull mood, and when Bai Guo realized it, the two of them had left the East Palace and were on their way to the birthday banquet in Shoukang Palace.

"You really don't want to talk to the prince or concubine?" Bai Guo asked repeatedly before leaving the East Palace.

Xie Lin shook his head: "No need."
