"Prince Duan's household affairs were put on hold, and Concubine Li failed to teach her son well, so she was fined half a year's salary."
"Ping Ning was banned from the princess's residence for three months and fined half a year's salary."
"King Xin will fine you one month's salary."
Except for Xin Wang, who was fined a month's salary, which was not painful, the others were considered heavy penalties.
Lin Xi: "Although the maid pushed me into the water, she never really wanted my life. Please be merciful and spare her life."
Emperor Zhou was always kind and kind, so he waved his hand and said, "It's difficult for you to be kind, so she will do whatever you want."
Although the queen was not punished, the prince was her adopted son, and punishing the prince was tantamount to a slap in the face.
She forced out a smile: "Miss Lin, are you interceding for the maid who murdered me?"
Lin Xi lowered his eyes: "To tell you the truth, I also know that I am a little bit arrogant. But I have only arrived in the capital not long ago, so I must have slowly learned to be like you, my mother."
Queen: "..."
This person seemed to stop pretending and said what he wanted to say, but he was very reserved, leaving her with no words to retort.
Lin Xi turned around and saluted Emperor Zhou.
"With such a turmoil happening today, I would like to go to Baiyun Temple for half a month to reflect on my mistakes and pray for my uncle."
Emperor Zhou felt soft in his heart: "It's good that you have such filial piety. If you want to go, just go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will also pray for Your Majesty every day."
"You are a good boy. Don't be too sad about what happened today." With other people in the palace for comparison, Emperor Zhou was even more moved, and even the displeasure he had just exposed to Lin Xi was put away.
After Emperor Zhou finished training, he walked away, and it was time to go to court.
The incident happened suddenly, and the ministers waiting in the front hall had no idea what happened in Xingqing Hall.
We can only deduce from the expression on His Majesty the Emperor's face that he is in a bad mood.
I'm in a bad mood. Could it be that the British father-in-law's daughter caused trouble?
At the gesture of the Crown Prince and Tutor's eyes, two civil servants came out to take part in the British public's lax governance.
The emperor above the high palace looked gloomily at the people below.
In the past, civil servants often participated in the British Duke's performance, and he privately believed that they were planning for the long-term interests of the country and had no bad intentions.
But now it feels ridiculous. Is it true that as long as it serves the interests of these people, they can confuse right and wrong?
Does Taifu think the matter is not big enough? ! He asked Lin Xi to come to him again with witnesses, and he participated in the British Duke's performance again!
Emperor Zhou rarely got angry in the court.
"The tutor improperly taught the prince, and he was fined half a year's salary; the minister of household affairs, You Cheng, and the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, who spoke improperly, were fined one season's salary."
"If the British Lord is impeached and the same thing happens in the future, I will be a loyal minister and I can accomplish it. Why not go to the late emperor's funeral?"
Looking at the people kneeling below, Emperor Zhou thought for a moment and then said, "The British guard has worked hard for many years and has made great achievements. He has been granted a title of 3,000 households, 800 grain fields, and ten pieces of Ru porcelain bottles!"
…
The emperor retreated from the court and left, and all the ministers looked at each other in shock.
The amount of the Taifu's fine is not large, but it undoubtedly means that he has lost the emperor's heart...
Forget about being awarded a title by the British Duke, your porcelain vase is for the exclusive use of the royal family!
Your Majesty clearly favors the British Duke.
When news of what happened in Xingqing Hall came out, everyone came to their senses belatedly.
It was Lin Xi who fell into the water, but it was the Crown Prince and Prince Duan who suffered.
The person who was rewarded was the British prince, and the people who were beaten were civil servants?
Unfortunately, it was too late. They wanted to find trouble, but they were no longer in the capital!
——
Lin Xi came back from the palace and returned to the Duke's Mansion leisurely.
That night, Lin Yan's eyes were swollen from crying. He still didn't believe that Lin Xi died like this, but he couldn't help but worry.
One moment he would go to the Lin family to kill people, and the next moment he would go to the lake to fish for people.
Lin Xi was surprised. She didn't have much affection for this younger brother. She just wanted him to make progress and not cause trouble for herself.
Seeing Lin Yan being so worried about him, he realized that being related by blood was different.
Lin Yan covered his swollen eyes and said angrily: "You don't know how much the Lin family has gone too far. Lin Zhejia actually ordered a sandalwood coffin, and I went up to chop it up!"
Lin Xi: "Sandalwood? Did you split it?"
How valuable this is! She rarely makes any money!
Lin Yan snorted: "What if? I just want to chop."
Lin Xi was so heartbroken, this little bastard really needed to be brave, brave in planning, and brave in everything he wanted.
What a waste, she already has a sandalwood coffin!
"Prodigal son, you might as well kill me!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned her back on him and called Tuxue: "Pack your luggage and hitch the carriage. We are going to Baiyun Temple today."
Lin Yan looked stunned: "Why are you going to the temple? You obviously did nothing wrong. This is not a joke for them."
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously, he was obviously going to enjoy the blessing.
After a big job, she wanted to avoid the limelight and go sightseeing.
Yesterday, the ministers spent a lot of candles on their mansions, and today I am afraid that many tea cups will be smashed.
Avoiding the angry ministers, she went to ask the Buddha to bless her, a bad person, and give her a safe life.
The author has something to say:
British Duke: I am prepared. Is Lin Xi... in trouble?
Shan Wu: No, I even earned you a reward.
British public:......
Chapter 17
◎Pray for Buddha◎
After Emperor Zhou came to court, he was not even in the mood for breakfast.
Among the three princes, he valued Zhong Xiao's character the most.
At present, the Crown Prince and King Duan are fighting endlessly, and in order to prevent King Xin from becoming a target, they keep the situation secret.
Fortunately today, Zhongxiao was not involved and did not disappoint him.
Emperor Zhou made a decision in his mind. If Linxi was just the niece of Duke Zhen, it would be too high a task to marry him to the king.
But if she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, it will be a good marriage for a well-matched man with talent and beauty.
With this level of in-laws, Liang Jing'an can also unswervingly support Zhong Xiao.
Emperor Zhou had a plan in mind. When Lin Xi came back from Baiyun Temple, he would grant the marriage.
To avoid further accidents.

The queen returned to the palace with a dark face, raised her hand and smashed the tea set at hand
"My dear, don't be angry. The Lin family girl is going to Baiyun Temple, and the Queen Mother is also practicing Zen in Baiyun Temple." A confidant next to her reminded her.
"Yes." The queen then thought about it. The queen mother has always been strict. If she knew that there was such a turmoil in the capital because of Lin Xi, she would not tolerate it.
When the Queen Mother wants to punish someone, the Emperor can't say anything.
Queen: "Go and make arrangements. Ask Zhao Zhi to give Lin Xi a few 'kind words'."
Her cousin Zhao Zhi had been following the Queen Mother to worship Buddha for half a year, but now she was favored by the Queen Mother.
"Slave, I obey."

Lu Wenyuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Finance, was fined one season's salary by His Majesty because he participated in the British public affairs.
When he returned home, he immediately sent someone to call Lu Yan to the front hall.
In the past, he only suppressed his nephew secretly. But he was in a bad mood today, so he couldn't care less.
"Princess Pingning's mansion lacks a counselor. Should you go to the princess's mansion to find a future, or go to live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city."
Although the princess was banned from going out, it did not affect sending people in.
Although Princess Pingning is currently being reprimanded by His Majesty, she has a close relationship with the Queen and the Crown Prince. If she hugs this big tree, the Lu family will have a bright future.
Lu Yan coughed: "Zhuangzi is pure and suitable for nourishing the body."
Lin Wenyuan was very angry that he didn't have enough food and salt. But if he wasn't willing, it wouldn't be a good idea to offend the princess.
"You chose it yourself, don't blame me."
Lu Yan lowered his gaze and said calmly, "Thank you, uncle."
Lu Yan returned to the small courtyard and packed his few luggage.
His eyes glanced at the clothes worn by the Lin family girl. He didn't like wearing clothes worn by others, but...
Lu Yan packed that set of clothes into his baggage because he was too poor. He didn't have many good clothes and couldn't bear to throw them away.

The carriage can only go to the bottom of the mountain.
After getting off the car, we have to walk up the mountain. Baiyun Temple is located at the top of the mountain. If you walk quickly, you can reach it in an hour.
Lin Xi stretched out. He had been lying down all this time, and now it was time to come out and stretch his muscles.
