Yinzhen and Nian Shilan Yinli had lunch in the garden. Nian Shilan said that he was going back to Chengen Garden to change clothes. Yinli tilted his head and looked at her.
"Sister Lan, don't you want to play chess with Qi Qi before leaving?"
Nian Shilan gathered his cloak and sighed.
"Seventeen, you know how to throw stones at Sister Lan's heart. Master, I know that I am very unfamiliar with chess, calligraphy and painting."
Yinli turned to look at Yinzhen.
"Will fourth brother play chess with me?"
Yinzhen only said that he still had official duties to attend to, so he might as well find a eunuch who knew how to play chess to accompany Yinzhen in two games.
The few eunuchs waiting around looked around and lowered their heads silently. Only Xiao Linzi looked at the three masters with burning eyes.
Yinzhen pointed.
"I will borrow him from you to use as an envoy."
Nian Shilan looked in the direction Yinzhen pointed, and it turned out to be Xiaolinzi.
"I will take whoever I want. This whole house belongs to the master, not to mention the servants around me."
Nian Shilan looked at Xiao Linzi again.
"Xiao Linzi, since the master has promoted you, you must serve Brother Seventeen carefully. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one I will ask."
Xiao Linzi nodded respectfully and bowed, saying "I obey," with unconcealable joy in his eyes.
Recently, his master Zhou Anhai taught him how to play chess, so he could just wait and play with this little master for a while.
So Yinzhen took Yinli back to the front yard. He had to work, so he asked Su Peisheng to take Yinli to the side room so that he could play by himself.
Nian Shilan was supported by Mang Zhong and returned to Cheng'en Garden to rest.
Xiao Linzi played chess with Yinli, but he only learned the chess skills for a few days. Even Yinli, who had learned the six skills of a gentleman since he was a child, couldn't play horse racing.
Yinli couldn't help but call Xiao Linzi a "stinky chess basket". Xiao Linzi laughed and begged Yinli to teach him.
Yinli, who was originally looking for someone to play chess with him, turned into Xiao Linzi's master for half a day. They didn't stop until Su Peisheng came in and reminded Yinli that it was time to return to the palace.
Yinli looked at Xiao Linzi and sighed.
"What a stinky chess player. You go back and practice hard. When we meet next time, if you behave like this again, I will ask Sister Lan to fine you a monthly salary."
Xiao Linzi still smiled playfully and respectfully sent Yinli out of the house.
After spending half a day together, he liked this little brother.
Su Peisheng led the way, and Yinli walked three steps away, followed by Xiao Linzi. The palace servants that Yinli brought with him were not as close as Xiao Linzi.
Yinli walked, talking to himself.
"I remembered, that maid I met at Brother's house the year before last year, why is she now following Sister Lan?"
Xiao Linzi was close enough to hear clearly, and his mind was rapidly processing the relationship between the royal family.
Isn't that Yinli's eldest brother Prince Zhi? It is said that there is only one Fujin in his backyard, and he does not even have an extra wife or concubine. Fujin only gave birth to a daughter. According to the seniority of the Zhijun prince, his daughter should be Duoluo Gege.
My master is the fourth prince, but he is one level higher than his eldest brother Prince Zhi.
But according to what his master told him, Prince Zhi didn't care much about the affairs of the court except leading troops to fight. How could his maid enter Prince Yong's palace?
And as early as when Nian Shilan discovered that Han Lu had different intentions, Xiao Linzi secretly went to investigate the origin of Han Lu.
According to the records of the palace, Hanlu was sold to the palace by Ya Po and signed a death deed.
Xiao Linzi couldn't think about it for a moment, but he didn't stop and followed Yinli until he was sent outside the palace. When he saw him getting on the palace carriage and being escorted back to the palace by the palace guards, Xiao Linzi hurried back to Chengdu. Enyuan went to recover his life.
Nian Shilan was having dinner. She worked hard to play with Yinli today, but she didn't have much appetite for lunch.
When it was dinner time, my appetite was opened up.
Xiao Linzi waited outside the house for Nian Shilan to finish his meal, and then listened to Nian Shilan order Han Lu to take the dishes off the table and distribute them to the servants.
Han Lu and Mang Zhong went about their own business, and Fu Jin was generous. In the past, their status was high, so they followed her and ate good food.
Xiao Linzi watched Nian Shilan rinse his mouth after finishing his meal. Songzhi offered him another cup of fragrant tea, and then he told Nian Shilan everything about today.
"Master, you know who Na Hanlu is, but I heard that Prince Nazhi has no interest in anything except leading troops to fight. Why does Nahan Lu spend so much time by your side?"
Nian Shilan was holding tea and eating it, with a faint smile on her lips.
"She is here, so she is here for a reason. Li Ke, don't you think so?"
An San was gnawing on the chicken leg that Songzhi threw to him on the beam. His hands were full of oil. At this moment, his mouth was stuffed with something and he didn't dare to speak for fear of spitting out the food residue.
After finally stretching his neck to swallow the food in his mouth, An San responded.
"What Xi Fujin said is absolutely true."
Nian Shilan rolled his eyes slightly.
"I'm talking about Li Ke, after all you are also a person who has traveled around the world. Have you never eaten chicken? Please wait a little slower. If you choke to death on my roof beam, I can't explain it to the prince."
An San stuffed his mouth full of chicken drumsticks again, whimpered in agreement, and stretched his neck to swallow hard.
But his mind was not idle. He was very confused. According to the information he had, Han Lu should be the prince's talent. He had never told Prince Yong about this.
When the emperor sent them to Prince Yong, they knew that everything they did was done by the emperor to support the prince.
It’s really interesting. What does this Prince Zhi want to do?
After thinking about it, An San felt that this was not something he should worry about, so forget it, don't think about it anymore.
Nian Shilan thought of some things in her mind and slowly connected them together.
In the previous life, Prince Zhi also participated in seizing the legitimate heirs, and even the second-wasted prince Yinfeng was the one who fueled the flames.
In this life, the prince has not been deposed, and Prince Zhi still acts like a humble elder brother.
Strictly speaking, Prince Zhijun Yinzhen should be ranked fifth, but the emperor's first four sons all died in infancy, so Prince Zhijun became the eldest son of the emperor. However, he was also born to a concubine, so technically he was the eldest son of a concubine.
The current crown prince Yinfeng was born to the emperor's first wife, Queen Hesheli, and was the unquestionable crown prince of the Qing Dynasty.
In the previous life, it was not until Yinzhen came to Dabao that Nian Shilan vaguely heard about Prince Zhi.
It's already mid-October, the weather is cool at night, and Nian Shilan is facing An Sandao lightly.
"Li Ke, please help me, look at this cold dew, but there is other information sent out of the house and where it was sent."
An San sighed secretly, he had just eaten a meal of chicken drumsticks and he was going to use such force. Fortunately, Prince Yong didn't know. Three secret paths.
"Don't worry, Fujin. I'll go check it out."
After sending An San away, Nian Shilan felt relieved and motioned to Xiao Linzi to come over and tell him something.
Xiao Linzi said that he was not on duty today, so he went to drink tea with his master, wandered to the stables, and repeated his old trick, getting out of the hidden dog hole under the cover of night.
