Royal study room.
Lin Bai has left.
Zhu Tianzheng frowned, as if thinking about something, and asked after a while: "Old man, what do you think of what this guy said?"
Eunuch Cao bowed and said: "The number one scholar has extraordinary knowledge, which is beyond the reach of this old slave. After hearing what the number one scholar said, the old slave also feels that it is indeed more beneficial for Prince Ning to keep him."
"However, there is one thing the champion said wrongly."
oh?
Zhu Tianzheng glanced at him in surprise, "Which point?"
Eunuch Cao said: "Your Majesty is already generous and kind, and there is no need to show it. If it were not so, how could Prince Ning survive to this day, and the Number One Scholar would not be in such a good mood."
"Ah!"
Zhu Tianzheng snorted, "You're getting better and better at flattering me. I'm not that kind. That brat killed an official in court. If I don't show him some shame, I'll do it again in the future."
Eunuch Cao chuckled: "The Number One Scholar is young and vigorous after all. However, the fact that he can be honest with Your Majesty and even get angry with Your Majesty is enough to show that he has no guilt in his heart and does not treat Your Majesty as an outsider."
Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Tianzheng's mouth curled up slightly, as if he remembered the way the talented man acted in a petty manner before.
He said: "Don't be fooled by that boy, he is very cunning."
Eunuch Cao said: "No matter how cunning you are, you can't escape from His Majesty's grasp. Your Majesty understands the overall situation and plans strategies. The number one scholar will definitely not make trouble in front of Your Majesty."
Zhu Tianzheng chuckled and said, "Old man, your flattery skills were learned from the Number One Scholar, right?"
Eunuch Cao smiled.
Zhu Tianzheng didn't ask any further questions. He raised his head and looked away, with confusion in his eyes, and his voice suddenly became a little sharp, "Old man, if I say that boy is a member of the Red Lotus Sect and the former prince, do you believe it?"
Eunuch Cao was stunned for a moment, looking surprised. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Then what is his purpose?"
Zhu Tianzheng hummed: "Since he is the Red Lotus Sect and the former crown prince, he will naturally rebel."
Eunuch Cao said: "If this is the case, then why did he try his best to promote the alliance between the two countries and obtain a large amount of food?"
Zhu Tianzheng said: "Perhaps the time is not yet ripe to win over people's hearts."
Eunuch Cao asked again: "Then why did he offer Zhuge Liannu and sweet potatoes?"
Zhu Tianzheng was stunned for a moment, thinking for a long time that he might not have thought of a reasonable reason, and cursed: "You old guy, am I asking you or are you asking me?"
Although he cursed, he didn't mean much to blame, and instead showed a happy look on his face.
…
Outside the palace gate.
Seeing Lin Bai coming out, Yan Ruxue hurriedly greeted her, "How is it? Your Majesty didn't blame you, right?"
Lin Bai smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just as my father-in-law guessed. The merits and demerits are equal to each other."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have merit or not. The husband doesn't care about you. The key is to be so careful. When will I be able to marry you."
Yan Ruxue blushed and murmured: "I haven't said I want to get married yet!"
"That's not up to you."
Lin Bai had a bad smile on his face, "Let's go! Go back and have some food, and ask my father-in-law by the way."
Needless to say, on the way back to the carriage, Miss Yan was almost eaten and wiped clean. Her pretty face was as red as a big apple, and her clothes were messy. She had to tidy up for a while before she dared to get off the carriage.
The beautiful eyes did not forget to glare at Lin Bai fiercely.
The talented man was so thick-skinned that he didn't take her seriously and dragged her into the Yan Mansion.
The old mother-in-law prepared a large table of delicious food. Needless to say, the atmosphere was great. Lin Bai also took the opportunity to talk about getting married. The old mother-in-law couldn't wait to see it. This is already the case, so why is there any difference?
But the father-in-law was a little hesitant, because His Majesty asked him to take another look.
After all, the marriage between the two of them was decided by His Majesty. He had originally promised to marry the Seventh Princess together, but now His Majesty said that the matter of the Seventh Princess would be postponed, so Miss Yan would naturally have to postpone it as well.
The emperor is so domineering, there is no way!
All we can do is wait!
In fact, Lin Bai was not so anxious to let Yan Ruxue pass, but because Yan Ruxue was busy in the Lin family, especially during this period, after all, she was a woman of this era.
Therefore, he felt he should take a stand.
Facts have proved that although Lao Yan asked for another look, no matter it was him, his mother-in-law and Yan Ruxue, their faces were all filled with joy.
Especially Miss Yan, she really looks like a little daughter-in-law. After all, her husband has officially proposed marriage.
Lin Bai stayed at Yan Mansion until mid-afternoon before leaving.
Prepare to go to Qing'an Bo Mansion to report that you are safe.
Yan Ruxue also went to the door together, but she was going to Tiangong Camp and was delayed for most of the day. The eldest sister was heavy, so she had to keep an eye on it.
If she was still a little concerned and couldn't let go before, then it has completely disappeared now, ever since Lin Bai just talked about getting married.
The talented man sighed sincerely that he was really destined to be a soft rice king, and all the ladies were so capable.
The two immediately made an appointment to go back to Lin's house for dinner together after finishing their work.
When the two returned to Lin's house, they saw many brightly armored soldiers standing outside the house, including those from the Wu Dynasty and those who had left the country.
Seeing this situation, Lin Bai suddenly remembered that Xiao Jiu had said he was coming yesterday, and he had been busy teasing Miss Yan, forgetting all about it.
"Are you going to be so exaggerated? There are so many guards in the Lin family in Kyoto City?"
Lin Bai looked at the guards and was speechless.
Yan Ruxue smiled and said: "It's normal. After all, she is a married princess of the Wu Dynasty, and she is also a princess of Tianwu. The higher-ups attach great importance to her. I heard that all the princes are keeping an eye on her."
Well?
Lin Bai was confused, "What does it mean that all the princes are staring at you?"
Yan Ruxue glanced at him, "You just came back, don't you know? After Princess Tianwu arrived in Kyoto, some courtiers impeached the fifth prince and revealed some scandals about him."
"There are also ministers who say that the fifth prince is of ordinary origin and marrying the Wu Dynasty is suspected of despising the Wu Dynasty, which may cause the Wu Dynasty to be dissatisfied in the future."
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, what does this mean?
There was no such rhetoric at the beginning, but now that you are so successful, you are saying such nonsense?
Yan Ruxue continued: "I heard from dad that the princes want to replace the fifth prince and marry Princess Tianwu."
Lin Bai:......
Is there such an operation?
What a fool!
Does this seem like a strong princess who can't hold herself back?
Liangliang is pitiful enough. It doesn't matter if she is not treated well by Gu Ling'er, but she is also poached by her brothers.
"Then what does Your Majesty say?"
Yan Ruxue shook her head, "It's not clear yet, but it stands to reason that within a few days, matters related to the marriage should be put on the agenda, but because of these things, His Majesty has never made a decision."
"It is said that all the princes are trying to show their favor to Princess Tianwu. The competition is very fierce."
Feeling sad for a second.
Lin Bai really wanted to give Zhu Liang a gift, but it was not without benefits. At least Zhu Liang didn't have to think of excuses.
have to!
Fight slowly! Brother, just watch the show with peace of mind.
"Let's go! Go in and see Xiaojiu." The two of them said and entered the mansion.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
