The fourth prince was of noble birth, and his mother was a virtuous concubine, one of the four concubines. In addition, the emperor also relied heavily on the fourth prince. Although the eldest prince was born in the queen's belly, there was no rule in the Northern Dynasty to establish heirs, and besides, he followed the eldest prince. For so long, the prince has not discovered that the eldest prince has any talents. His only interest is to like beautiful women.
It is said that the Queen got the errand in Jincheng this time because of the Queen's manipulation.
The Sixth Prince also has a great chance, and Concubine Ying is also favored. However, this year there was a corruption case among Jincheng officials. Jincheng Prefect Xu is the mother of Concubine Ying. I don’t know if the Sixth Prince and Concubine Ying will be implicated in it. Lin Ji didn't dare to put his treasure on the sixth prince. As for the other princes, he had to wait and see.
At present, it seems that the fourth prince has the best chance.
Lin Ji even heard that everyone in Jincheng was now panicked. Many important officials had died inexplicably, and a lot of evidence was in An Yuxiao's hands.
Apart from the people in Jincheng, the people who have the most trouble sleeping now are An Yuxiao, who also has trouble sleeping and eating.
Now, Lin Ji secretly met with the fourth prince, and the fourth prince obviously felt his sincerity and determination.
Lin Ji said casually: "The disease in Yongxiu County has been brought under control. The emperor is sure of the fourth prince's ability. However, the Jincheng corruption case that has been investigated for several months has not yet been revealed. This case is handled by the eldest prince. I heard My grandfather said the emperor was very angry about the case."
Nangong Hao's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled lightly and said, "Father is very busy with the Jincheng case, and I can't help much."
Lin Ji knew that the fourth prince had great talents and strategies, "I heard that the eldest prince welcomed a beautiful concubine into the palace a few days ago, and even forgot about the errands given by the emperor. The current host is Mr. An, Speaking of which, he is still Xiaguan’s uncle.”
Lin Ji knew in his heart that the beautiful concubine might have been sent out by the fourth prince, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence.
"My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be jealous. My eldest brother is in his prime, which is human nature." Nangong Hao smiled lightly, as if he didn't take Lin Ji's words to heart.
Then, Nangong Hao's gentle face was instantly stained with frost, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Master An is an upright and honest official. This is why he is still only holding the Xuxian position. Is the eldest son of Mr. An’s family working as an errand under you?”
Thinking that An Yuxiao had closed the door without seeing any guests yesterday, he became angry. He didn't expect An Yuxiao to be so disrespectful. He was just a little Anpinghou, and he hadn't taken him seriously yet.
An Yuxiao has a good official reputation and never forms cliques, so the emperor handed the Jincheng case into his hands this time. With An Yuxiao's nature, he will definitely not give the credit to himself, even if the eldest prince If there is any excess, the Queen will suppress it on behalf of the eldest prince.
Lin Ji didn't understand why the fourth prince asked like this, so he only said: "The fourth prince is talking about An Tingjun. He became a little coach under Xiaguan, and it was also for the sake of his aunt. Who told him to get married to Xiaguan. "
Lin Ji smiled, but it was actually because she had given birth to two beautiful daughters. Lin Wan, an ignorant woman born as a concubine, could make a difference because of the dirty tricks of some women.
Heroes love beauties since ancient times, so An Yuxiao became Lin Wan's subordinate. It was only after he returned home that he heard that his two cousins and his aunt lived more comfortably in An Mansion than his mistress, so she must have been a little bit Means.
Nangong Hao smiled, he had been waiting for someone to see if she could succeed.
A subtle emotion suddenly flashed in Nangong Hao's eyes. He did not expect that the daughter of Lord An's family also had a great ambition in his heart: "Your cousin is also very interesting? The eldest brother seems to like her very much, and he dares to offend her for her. The eldest prince’s concubine is not afraid that the eldest prince’s concubine will return to her parents’ home to complain.”
Lin Ji suddenly raised his eyebrows and was a little worried. Did the fourth prince want to give An Xilin to the eldest prince? Then he said: "My cousin is kind and weak by nature. It's a pity that her status in the family is not high, and she is always under the influence of her sisters." Bully."
The sister here refers to An Xiyue, and Nangong Hao naturally understands it.
Lin Ji also wanted to keep An Xilin and An Xilang for great use in the future, and not let their stunning looks go to waste. If they were to be given to the eldest prince, now that the overall situation was uncertain, he would not do it. He said respectfully: "Lin'er is still young. Small……"
Nangong Hao saw the eagerness in Lin Ji's words and thought that Lin Ji was attracted to An Xilin, so he said solemnly: "The little girl should be taken care of." But with such a gorgeous beauty, no wonder the eldest prince would be tempted by her.
Nangong Hao suddenly thought of the eldest lady of the An family. Her cold and ruthless eyes reminded him of that woman who seemed to be more interesting.
A confident smile suddenly appeared on Nangong Hao's lips, and he played a game of chess with Lin Ji. They stayed there all day long, but Lin Ji didn't know why the fourth prince could sit still so well today.
In the afternoon, An Xilin went out with her maid Yingying.
The carriage drove slowly, and when it arrived at the entrance of Zuixian Tower, An Xilin got out of the carriage with a veil covering her face. She could only see her slender waist like Liu Fufeng, wearing a plain embroidered cloak, although her face could not be seen clearly. , but those beautiful eyes still attracted the attention of the people next to her, and they all cast admiring glances at An Xilin.
As soon as An Xilin got out of the car and stood still, a very shrewd young man came forward and said respectfully: "Miss, please, the master has been waiting for a long time."
An Xilin was shocked. It turned out that the fourth prince had already ordered someone to greet her at the door, so she smiled and said softly: "Excuse me."
Arriving at the private room on the third floor, Chunyan and Jin'er were blocked from the door. They only waited for An Xilin to take off her cloak and veil, and then walked in gracefully, twisting her waist.
As soon as he entered the door, he realized that his cousin Lin Ji was also there. A gentle smile appeared on his lips, his lotus steps moved slowly, and then he leaned towards Nangong Hao and saluted, "I have met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
I just looked at An Xilin, who was wearing a rose-red tight-fitting cotton-padded jacket with a green smoke gauze skirt, willow-leaf eyebrows with smoky eyes, a delicate face with melon seeds, and attractive pink lips, and then slowly bowed to Lin Ji, That gesture is really a bit coquettish and charming.
The fourth prince looked stunned for a moment before he said warmly: "You don't have to be polite, Miss Three, please sit down."
Lin Ji glanced at the fourth prince and then at An Xilin, and then the corners of his lips curved into a smile with unknown meaning, "It turns out that the fourth prince had an appointment with sister Lin a long time ago, but it was his cousin who was abrupt."
Lin Ji couldn't help but think to himself, just now he thought that the fourth prince wanted to give An Xilin to the eldest prince, but he thought differently. An Xilin is enchanting and charming, and no man in the world can resist her beauty.
When An Xilin heard what Lin Ji said, her cheeks were instantly flushed, making her even more beautiful than Jiaohua.
