Lin Beichen understood what the old eunuch said, which was to keep your mouth shut, your ears shut, and your eyes shut.
I am afraid that only this world regards this as a secret that is not told. As Lin Beichen, who has watched two or three episodes of the Qing palace drama, he already knows these things.
Old eunuch Cao continued to explain to Lin Beichen: "The East Palace is also called the Small Imperial Court. The East Palace also has the official configuration of the imperial court. You are a guest now, and you are not considered to have entered the inner circle of the East Palace. You have the mountains and rivers cemetery. Darling, the prince will definitely reuse you in the future, but it also depends on whether you are the material, so now is an assessment for you. As long as you work hard and don't think too much, you will definitely be in the East Palace in the future. If you have a place in the palace, I should not say it. When the prince ascends the throne, the small court in the East Palace will become a large court. If you are a close confidant of the prince, it will not be a problem for you to be a feudal official. "
Lin Beichen knew that this old guy was drawing cakes for him.
Lin Beichen didn't know anything else, but he knew very well that the current emperor was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. There would be no problem in living for another one or two hundred years. Maybe it would be very possible to live for another five or six hundred years. The prince still didn't know if he wanted to ascend the throne as emperor. In the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, maybe the prince is dead but the emperor is not dead yet.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."
Eunuch Cao took out a token made of unknown wood, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This thing must not be lost. With this thing, you can enter and leave the East Palace at will."
Lin Beichen took it carefully. Although the token was made of wood, it was heavy and heavy.
After seeing Eunuch Cao off, Lin Beichen took a look in the room.
It can be seen that the guests of the Crown Prince are treated well. All daily necessities are available here. There are also three wooden signs on the table with the words morning, noon and evening written on them. Judging from Lin Beichen's current experience, this is a useful sign. Come to get food in the cafeteria.
In addition, after opening the wardrobe, there are several sets of clothes inside, all made of silk, with fine workmanship and high quality.
Lin Beichen was just about to put down the clothes, but suddenly he picked them up again, put them in his hands and rubbed them lovingly.
Then he put it on and looked around, as if he had never seen the world.
Of course this was pretended by Lin Beichen.
He still remembers that everything Wu Chabai touches will become his eyes and ears. God knows if there will be Wu Chabai here who has his ears and eyes. Who can be sure that there won't be similar strange people and strange things under the prince's men?
So Lin Beichen is acting to the end. At this moment, he is concentrating on playing a little person who has not seen much of the world, pursues progress, and loves vanity.
When a little person sees silk and satin, silk clothes that can only be worn by people of high status, they will naturally not act too calm.
Lin Beichen walked out of the house. They lived not far from the gate of the East Palace. Naturally, guests like them would not live inside the East Palace. As Eunuch Cao said, they were still outsiders after all.
But this is a good thing for Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen came to the entrance of the East Palace and showed the token before the guards could stop him.
The guards immediately let them go when they saw the token.
Lin Beichen walked out of the East Palace and waited quietly at the door.
About half an hour later, the motorcade of the three princesses slowly drove out of the gate of the East Palace.
Lin Beichen greeted him.
When Xiao Hong, who was walking in front, saw Lin Beichen, a hint of joy immediately appeared in her eyes, she greeted him calmly, and then whispered something to the carriage.
The leading carriage stopped, and the voices of Xue and Princess came from the carriage: "Get in."
This carriage is very spacious and can seat seven or eight people inside.
Lin Beichen walked into the carriage and found that the three princesses were here.
The three of them were refreshed, all smiling, and extremely happy. After all, not only did they not lose their dowry this time, but they each won a treasure.
Xue and the princess sat in the middle, holding a princess in each hand. When he saw Lin Beichen, he laughed and said: "Mr. Green Snake, you did a great job this time. I said I would give you a reward. What do you want?" , I will definitely satisfy you."
This Lin Beichen thing is really true
Thought about it.
"Princess, I do have something to ask of you."
Princess Xuehe was in a good mood. She waved her long sleeves and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I hope I still have a place here, princess."
Princess Xuehe frowned slightly. Lin Beichen's demand was completely beyond her expectation.
"Is this what you asked for?"
Lin Beichen said firmly: "Yes."
Princess Xuehe said with great interest: "Do you know that the eldest prince hates people being double-dealing in front of him? If you become his guest, but you are still disconnected from me, let alone you want glory and wealth, it will not matter whether you can survive or not. It’s hard to guarantee.”
Lin Beichen said helplessly: "Of course I understand this truth, but the eldest prince is not the master in my mind. I still think it is more suitable for me to be with you and work hard for the princess."
Princess Xuehe's eyes became charming at this moment, and she looked Lin Beichen up and down: "You should know that I will marry to the East China Sea soon. It is a wild land. Your future with the eldest prince is unlimited, but with me you will only have to endure hardships. It’s my share!”
Lin Beichen nodded and said, "I know."
The two princesses next to him immediately shouted, "I'm afraid this little snake has taken a liking to my sister and is willing to be your crotch servant!"
Princess Xuehe was naturally full of confidence in her own charm. She was convinced that Lin Beichen had been captured by her and was fascinated by her.
Xue and the princess began to ponder, and then raised their heads after a while.
"Are you willing to go to the East China Sea with me?"
Lin Beichen said: "It all depends on the princess. If you feel that the guy who wants to marry you is dissatisfied, I will help you kill him. If you feel that he is very suitable, I will naturally go to the East China Sea with the princess."
Lin Beichen said something against his will, and all he thought about was Xue He's book of life and death for the princess.
Once that thing fits into hell, it will definitely bring huge benefits!
If he can no longer get close to Xue and Princess, it will be absolutely impossible for him to get the book of life and death in the future!
Princess Xuehe was very satisfied with Lin Beichen's statement: "Since you have such a loyal idea, it is naturally excellent!"
While saying that, Xue and Princess also took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Beichen.
"With this jade token, you can come in and out of my palace at will. Whenever you want to see me, you can come to me directly."
A princess next to her chuckled and said, "You have to choose a good time, preferably in the middle of the night."
Lin Beichen stepped out of the carriage after thanking him.
Xiaohong winked at him from the side.
Lin Beichen smiled and nodded.
Then the two of them walked side by side outside the carriage, walking through the streets and alleys, and soon returned to Princess Xuehe's Qingxue Palace.
The other two princesses also got off the carriage, followed by their own carriage. At this time, they said goodbye to Princess Xue and Princess. The two princesses specially called Lin Beichen, each took a piece of jewelry from their heads and gave it to Lin Beichen.
Of course Lin Beichen accepted them all without any hesitation.
When he arrived in Kyoto, he took care of everyone he met, and his money became increasingly scarce!
After seeing off the two princesses, Princess Xuehe and Lin Beichen returned to the depths of Qingxue Palace. Then she stopped smiling, stared at Lin Beichen and said, "Tell me, what do you want? I really don't understand what you are following. What good is there to be around me! I want to listen to the truth now, not lies!"
Lin Beichen also knew that Xue and Princess were not easy to fool, but he was very sure that the previous words had impressed Xue and Princess.
The most critical reason why Princess Xuehe wanted to kill him in return was that she didn't understand the interests Lin Beichen was pursuing!
For Princess Xuehe, who grew up in the royal family, everything in the world is driven by interests, and family ties, love, and friendship are all nonsense.
As a royal person, the first point of entry when looking at problems is where the interests lie.
Once the interest relationship is clarified, interpersonal relationships will be clarified, and the essence of things will also be clarified.
If Lin Beichen couldn't come up with a key to his interests that convinced Xue and Princess, Xue and Princess would never be able to believe Lin Beichen.
The reason why Lin Beichen continues to maintain a relationship with Xue He Princess is because of the treasure in Xue He Princess' hands. This is his interest concern.
But it was impossible for Lin Beichen to express this interest concern. Although Princess Xue and Princess agreed to help him fulfill a wish, if Lin Beichen said that he wanted the book of life and death, Princess Xue and Princess would definitely fall out with Lin Beichen immediately!
Everyone in the royal family is ruthless. Princess Xuehe's promise is only valid within the scope of what she is willing to bear. If it exceeds the scope of what she is willing to bear, then Lin Beichen is asking for trouble.
"Princess, let me tell the truth. Don't be offended if I am wrong. This is what I think about this matter. First of all, compared to the eldest prince, I am definitely willing to follow the princess. After all, the princess has been kind to me."
Princess Xuehe narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly when she heard this. She definitely didn't believe this.
Lin Beichen continued: "Secondly, I feel that there is really no future for following the eldest prince. The emperor is in his prime, and it is estimated that the eldest prince will not have a chance to get ahead in one or two hundred years. And a little miscellaneous fish like me has to work hard every day in Kyoto. I don't think I'm smarter or stronger than others despite dozens or hundreds of deaths, so there's a high probability that I'll die within one or two hundred years of hard work. Instead of doing that, I might as well follow the princess. Whether you go to the East China Sea or stay in Kyoto, the risk is much smaller no matter how you look at it."
Princess Xuehe tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "That does make some sense."
"However, the eldest prince has made you a guest, and you are now his. It would be better for you to follow me to the East China Sea. If I don't go to the East China Sea and stay in Kyoto, how will you face the eldest prince? That brother of mine But he is very vindictive.”
Lin Beichen smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way to have the best of both worlds in this world. Between the princess and the eldest prince, I can only offend one of them, and I choose the eldest prince over that one. First, I believe that the princess will protect me, because I have something in my hand." The treasure of mountains and rivers and cemeteries.”
"In addition, I believe that the eldest prince will teach me a lesson instead of killing me. The reason is that I have mountains and rivers and cemeteries in my hands. No one has been able to control this treasure for thousands of years. Now it is in my hands. I am also a rare talent. , even if the eldest prince doesn’t like me, he probably won’t kill me.”
"On the contrary, if I follow the eldest prince, the eldest prince's enemies will definitely kill me. From the perspective of survival and my love for the princess, I actually have no other options. "
Princess Xuehe lightly knocked on the table: "You are not stupid. I was thinking before that it was definitely not a good thing for you to have this treasure of mountains and rivers and cemeteries despite your low cultivation level. The eldest prince is indeed a flag. , but he has a big tree and attracts the wind, and he does have many enemies. If you have a low cultivation level but have a treasure, it is indeed easy to become the target of others. "
"I didn't expect you to live a very clear life and be able to figure out so many things in a short period of time."...
"Since you are so willing to follow me, I will find a way to get you back from the eldest prince as soon as possible."
"Well, since you have such a plan, don't stay here any longer and go back to the eldest prince as soon as possible."
Lin Beichen immediately bowed in response and then withdrew.
Xiaohong was standing outside waiting anxiously. When she saw Lin Beichen coming out, she didn't act particularly fiercely and just nodded quietly.
Cautious and very restrained.
Xiaohong may have regarded Lin Beichen as her husband at this moment, that's why she was like this.
Lin Beichen retreated silently.
Xiaohong walked into the princess's room at this time.
Xue and the princess were changing clothes, and two maids were waiting on them.
Snow and the princess have fragrant shoulders and a large beautiful back.
"Princess, why didn't you keep Mr. Green Snake? It would be great to let him relieve your fatigue." Xiaohong Qingqing rubbed Xuehe's shoulders and whispered softly.
Xue and Princess enjoyed Xiaohong's massage, squinted their eyes and said: "He is now the eldest prince's son, I can't touch him anymore, otherwise he will be with the eldest prince."
It would be very difficult to do it, haha. Originally, I brought him here just to have fun and to make the eldest prince sick, but I didn’t expect that this guy’s sweet words made me very happy. "
"I'll just let him go and wait and see. Whether he is sincere or not, it won't be long before we can see clearly."
Although Xue and Princess are used to spending time and enjoying themselves, they were soaked in the royal dye vat after all, and they know the importance of priority.
Lin Beichen walked out of Qingxue Palace without returning to his residence, because he knew that there would be countless eyes staring at him.
Every move he makes may fall into the eyes of interested people.
Under such circumstances, it is not suitable to meet Lao Huang and the others, let alone return to the Yunxiao Sword Sect through the Yin and Yang Road.
When Lin Beichen returned to the Prince's Mansion, he stayed in his room and didn't go anywhere.
Food will only be collected when it is time to eat.
Act cautious.
In the days that followed, Lin Beichen seemed to be forgotten, and no one paid attention to him.
His life has become extremely regular. He eats at a certain time and goes to bed at a certain time. He doesn't have to worry about anything. It feels like he's back in college.
After about three days of silence, Lin Beichen started to become more active.
"Mr. Green Snake, you came so early today!" A man in his thirties with a rotten Confucian air greeted Lin Beichen with a smile!
Those who can eat in this dining hall are all guests of the East Palace.
The prince's guests were of mixed composition, and they were doing all kinds of things.
Some are sneaky, some are good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, some have sweet singing voices, and some are good at military strategy!
This rotten scholar is the latter, his name is Xue Jie. He has a bitter face and a look of misfortune.
This guy is very sociable. He can chat with anyone and has something to say to everyone he meets.
Lin Beichen plays a cautious newcomer who has just entered the upper class.
Upon hearing Xue Jie's greeting, Lin Beichen came to Xue Jie's table with a plate of peanuts.
"Brother Xue, isn't it quite early for you?"
Xue Jie said helplessly: "I came early because I couldn't sleep. This peaceful world is simply the mortal enemy of counselors! As a result, I have no chance to use my strategy."
Lin Beichen had long been accustomed to Xue Jie's always complaining character, so he went to get four more steamed buns and a plate of pickles.
He sat across from Xue Jie and started eating.
Xue Jie is a famous big eater and is very good at eating. You can often see him eating from morning to noon and from noon to evening.
Three meals flowed seamlessly.
"The ancestor worship ceremony will be held soon. This is a good opportunity to show off. You have to prepare early."
Lin Beichen put down the bun and said in surprise: "Ancestor worship ceremony? What's going on?"
As a newcomer, Lin Beichen didn't understand many things, but Xue Jie was like a Bai Xiaosheng, he knew everything.
Xue Jie liked to show off his knowledge and show off his profoundness, so he immediately explained to Lin Beichen: "The royal ancestor worship ceremony has a small sacrifice every year, a mid-year sacrifice every ten years, and a big sacrifice every hundred years. This year happens to be the centenary ceremony. "
"Oh? I have been in Kyoto for several years, how come I have never heard of this sacrificial ceremony?" Lin Beichen heard the news and immediately went to ask Mr. Green Snake if he knew about the ancestor sacrificial ceremony.
As a result, Mr. Green Snake had never heard of it at all.
Xue Jie waved his hand: "Of course ordinary people like you have no access to the ancestor worship ceremony. Now your status is different and you are qualified to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony!"
"The ancestor worship ceremony is in a cemetery where the royal ancestors are buried! So ordinary people have no idea that the ancestor worship ceremony is going on."
"The annual ancestor worship ceremony is the best time for us to perform."
Lin Beichen asked curiously: "What activities are held at the ancestor worship ceremony?"
"Of course it's mountain climbing! There is a Tongtian Mountain in the center of the Royal Cemetery. It is so high that it can't reach the top. Every year during the ancestor worship ceremony, people are sent to climb the mountain. There are many treasures on Tongtian Mountain. It's amazing.
Rare fruits and precious minerals. Whoever climbs higher and finds the most treasures will be the winner. "
"However, many monks die every year on Tongtian Mountain. After all, there are treasures on the mountain, which will naturally attract all kinds of strange beasts and monsters."
"So, climbing Tongtian Mountain is very dangerous, but it is also really exciting."
At this time, a powerful man came next to Lin Beichen and Xue Jie. He sat down carelessly. There were six or seven men and women behind him.
When Xue Jie saw this posture, he immediately picked up the plate and said with a smile: "Mr. Green Snake, it seems that Boss Shen has something to ask you, so I'll leave first!"
Saying that, Xue Jie turned around and left.
No one bothered Xue Jie. At this moment, only Boss Shen and Lin Beichen were left on the table. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and tense. !
The other prince guests around him all stayed away, looking as if their lives were too boring and they finally saw interesting things.
Lin Beichen had heard a lot about this Boss Shen. On the first day he entered the East Palace, he was warned not to offend Boss Shen.
Boss Shen is also a guest of the prince, and his status is not much higher than that of Lin Beichen and others. However, this Boss Shen has always been cruel and ruthless, and many people cannot hold their heads high in front of him.
Moreover, it is said that Boss Shen is the nephew of Eunuch Cao. Most people have to give Eunuch Cao some face and dare not conflict with Boss Shen.
As time went by, Boss Shen became more and more careless in his actions.
"I heard about your name a few days ago, Mr. Green Snake. You won three magic weapons for the three princesses, and you also became the owner of the mountains and rivers cemetery? Is this true or false?"
Lin Beichen responded with a smile: "It's true."
Boss Shen laughed loudly when he heard this: "Is it true? You are really awesome, why don't you release the mountains and rivers cemetery to open our eyes."
Lin Beichen frowned slightly and rebuffed: "I'm afraid that's not possible. The mountains and rivers cemetery has its own will. I can't just release it for people to watch."
Boss Shen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you think I am asking you to release the mountains and rivers cemetery?"
At this moment, Boss Shen has completely changed his appearance. His face is as full of wrinkles as a Shar-Pei dog.
Lin Beichen never expected that there would be such a gangster bully in the royal family.
Lin Beichen stuffed the remaining buns into his mouth, then stood up and said, "Boss Shen, if you want to see the baby, I can't meet your request, but you have to go into the mountains and rivers cemetery to do it!"
Mr. Shen naturally does not dare to enter the Shanchuan Cemetery. Even the most low-level tasks there are not something he can handle!
Boss Shen came to Lin Beichen at this time. He was actually holding back bad news, hoping to take Lin Beichen's mountains and rivers cemetery as his own.
Unexpectedly, Lin Beichen didn't fall for the trick at all, and he was determined not to allow him to visit the mountains and cemeteries!
This boss Shen has a magical power that can assimilate and board.
This kind of magical power can copy himself into Lin Beichen's appearance by contacting Lin Beichen. Then he can use this method to occupy the magpie's nest and turn the mountains and cemeteries into his own treasure!
certainly. He will live like Lin Beichen for the rest of his life.
But compared to becoming the master of the mountains and cemeteries, changing a face is really a trivial matter!
Lin Beichen walked out of the cafeteria, and immediately followed by seven or eight strong men and women.
These men and women surrounded Lin Beichen.
Boss Shen walked out slowly and said with a smile: "Mr. Green Snake, I just want to broaden my horizons. Are you not going to fulfill such a small wish?"
Lin Beichen looked at the guys around him and couldn't help but sneer. He was wondering if killing them and sending them to hell would be too much!
But then Lin Beichen thought about it. Others were forcing him to come to his house. If he still gave in, he would never be able to survive here in the future.
In addition, in this world, people's aesthetic standards are completely different from Lin Beichen's previous life.
Whoever is ruthless is the outstanding quality that people appreciate.
It's time for Lin Beichen to show his fangs, otherwise cats and dogs will be all around him from now on!
Of course, these guys were also guests of the Crown Prince. Killing them all at once would be too disrespectful to the Crown Prince, so after Lin Beichen's eyes wandered around several big men, he selected the three most damn targets!
