486 Meeting
After the queen left the prince's mansion, the respectful expression on Erruo's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by indifference and ruthlessness.
On the side, the wet nurse looked at her quietly and waited for her to speak first.
Since Erruo pleaded with the prince to let Lin Jian go a month ago, the wet nurse has just been quietly by Erruo's side, without any advice to her.
"Wuhan, what the queen just said, what do you think?" Erruo suddenly asked the wet nurse.
"Princess, the queen is brave but not wise, otherwise she would not be suppressed by the queen mother in this way for so many years. The princess should make her own decisions on her own affairs and not listen to others."
The wet nurse's tone was light, neither lukewarm nor hot.
Erruo smiled,
"I think so too. Although the queen just held it back, haha- but she will take action sooner or later. I don't have to do anything now, just wait and see what happens."
A desolate and violent look flashed in Erruo's eyes.
"Princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince will go to the middle of the lake tonight. I wonder if he will bring Linghu Manyue with him this time." The wet nurse whispered to Erruo.
"Let him do it. Even if he doesn't take it, he will always think about it." Erruo seemed to have seen all this on the surface, but in fact she was just numb from the pain in her heart.
The wet nurse didn't speak and stood quietly.
As the princess said, the queen could hold back in the prince's mansion, but she might not be able to hold back after she went back.
They can see a good show without doing anything now.
——
At night, the prince's house was brightly lit
Erruo stayed alone in the empty room and ate side dishes.
Cui'er walked in from outside with an angry expression on her face.
"Crown Princess, Your Highness, you will go to the lake tonight to cruise, but Your Highness brought Linghu Manyue with you! That Linghu Manyue is really shameless! Do you know if there is still a Crown Princess?"
Cui'er was the maid given to Erruo by the queen. She said she was a maid, but in fact she was just someone arranged by the queen around her.
"Cui'er, you go down first."
Erruo spoke coldly, as if he didn't hear anything she said.
Cui'er wanted to talk too much, but when she saw Erruo's face suddenly became cold, she shut up in disgust.
Cui'er exited the room and closed the door. Erruo put down the bowls and chopsticks, and tears flashed across the corners of his eyes.

Painted boat in the middle of the lake
The full moon still looks lazy and has not woken up.
She didn't mention the experience of the queen in the afternoon.
"Full moon, these are all fresh fruits sent by the Four Kingdoms. When you come here, you can try them." Lin Jian did not mention the matter at noon, and handed the freshly peeled fruit to her mouth.
Although she is not willing to move at all now, she is more than she is not at a loss.
Before, she was calm and calm, and she advanced and retreated properly, but now she has a more rebellious and arrogant temperament, like an incomparable wild horse, strong and free.
The Moon turned his face away with disgust.
"I don't like this smell of lychee."
At this moment, she was sitting lazily on the Xiang Concubine Chair, wearing a long concubine-colored dress that was gorgeous and bright, even in the middle of the lake in the dark night, it could not be concealed by the clarity and dazzlingness.
A certain prince sat on the chair beside him and was picking and picking the fruits on the table.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Lin Jian asked her for her opinion with a good temper.
Full Moon yawned, said boringly,
"I don't understand that Your Highness is not in the prince's mansion in the middle of the night and hugging the prince's concubine with her soft jade and warm fragrance. Why are the cold wind blowing here?" She gave the prince a blank look. Anyway, she agreed to it for an hour, and it will never be over.
Lin Jian looked at her helplessly and handed her a cup of hot tea.
"You have to sleep for seven or eight hours every day. I said I would let the imperial doctor in the palace show you, but if you don't let me, you can't keep going. "Lin Jian was concerned about her and knew that she had taken a lot of pills for eye disease before, so she left such a sequelae of drowsiness.
But it seemed that when she was in the palace, her condition was not so great. She just fell asleep and was not easy to wake up. Unlike now, she was sleepy most of the time every day.
And Lin Dongyao told him about her situation in the royal palace, otherwise how could he know?
"Your Highness, isn't it good to be able to eat or sleep? I don't want to eat anything now, I just want to sleep." She stretched out, not perfunctory Lin Jian, but was really about to fall asleep.
The queen was disturbed by the nap and she didn't get enough sleep later. Now is the time to feel sleepy.
"Okay, sleep, sleep. I will be busy with myself in a while." Lin Jian waved his hand. She was so easy to have her around in the past few months. She could always help him solve difficult problems. With her here, he was indescribable to do anything.
But now, she swung her hands and didn't care about anything, just a rice worm that ate when she was full and slept.
On the one hand, he had to deal with the government affairs assigned by his father because he was seriously ill, and on the other hand, he had to always pay attention to her body and emotions.
However, although this is busy and hard, it is worth it.
"Your Highness, the envoys of the Four Kingdoms will not enter the pass for a month. Now they are just sending some fruits to fight the front station. In fact, your highness should eat and drink this month. The more the situation is, the more the spies trapped in Kyoto in the Four Kingdoms dare not act rashly. No one wants to hit the prince's gun. Some of the princes eat more and eat enough. When they come, if there are people with dissatisfaction, they will be able to close the door and let the dog go!"
Although Man Yue was stubborn and refused to help, her words were thoroughly analyzed.
"I am not as smart as you, I can only make up for my hard work. Once these four countries have come, their expenses have increased. If it weren't for the gold, silver and treasures obtained from the three courtyards of the abbot of the Xiangguo Temple, there would be a plague incident in Kyoto this year, and the entire treasury was empty. I came here for why you know that the treasury is short of silver, and this is also a gathering place for the wealthy people in Kyoto. I have not been selected this year, so I can't let it go. I must check it myself before I believe it."
The imperial merchant is closely linked to the royal interests. A new imperial merchant will be added every year, which is a waste of time. The prince naturally needs to check it himself to be relieved. Otherwise, once the war begins in the future, the selected imperial merchant will do nothing and be second. If it is related to the other four countries, it will be a devastating blow.
"Your Highness, the imperial court has four royal merchants, all of whom are well-founded and rich. In fact, there is really no outstanding candidate for royal merchants this year. Your Highness still thinks of a way to cancel this year's selection. It is better to change to other irrelevant written tests to win over the four royal merchants."
The Moon said, waving his hand.
"Your Highness, I'm really sleepy. You can think clearly about it yourself."
Ma Bu waved his hand, walked to the soft couch behind him, and fell asleep.
After a while, even breathing sounds came.
Lin Jian looked at her calm eyes, and the corners of her lips had a gentle curve as soft as water.
His eyes blinked, thinking that she said just now was indeed feasible. It has been four years since the selection of royal merchants, and there is no need to continue to fill it up. In a short period of time, the four major royal merchants have all had a stable foundation.
At this moment, a clear voice of greetings suddenly sounded outside.
"King Rouhuai, it's been a long time since I saw you. It's rare to see you come here."
The person who spoke was Qiu Shan, the head of the Qiu family, the imperial merchant in Jiangnan.
Qiu Shan also came to marry Qiu Jixuan and Linghu Hongxi next month.
The Qiu family has always had close ties with the Linghu Hou Mansion. They knew that the envoys from the four countries were coming to Kyoto, so they also came from Jiangnan a few days ago.
Qiu Shan is good at calculating, but on the surface he looks open-minded and cheerful, but in fact he is a complete businessman.
Hearing Qiu Shan's words, Lin Jian frowned and looked at the sleeping Moon. Seeing that her breath was even and there was no sign of waking up, Lin Jian gently covered her with a quilt, got up and walked out of the cabin.
"So it's Mr. Qiu, don't be fine." Lin Dongyao's voice was indescribable.
In the cabin of the pleasure boat, the full moon fell asleep peacefully, without any concern.
"Fifth brother, Mr. Qiu, since you are invited, why not meet each other by chance? Let's sit together?" Lin Jian stood on the deck with his hands behind his back.
A handsome face with a gentle smile.
The night was dim, and Lin Dongyao stood on the opposite boat wearing a black golden brocade robe, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more cold.
From the corner of his eyes, he quickly glanced at the cabin of the cabin opposite the boat, and then looked elsewhere as if nothing had happened.
"It's natural. This is a privilege for Mr. Qiu. I wonder if your highness - where is the pleasure boat to go?" Qiu Shan smiled and looked at Lin Jian with a smart eyes.
"Just go to Mr. Qiu's side, the beauty on my prince's side will go to bed well."
When the prince said this, Qiu Shan immediately looked clear.
"Where is the prince?" Qiu Shan asked Lin Dongyao for his opinion.
"Then I'll bother Mr. Qiu." Lin Dongyao had no objection.
The three ships moved closer, Lin Jian took the lead on Qiu Shan's pleasure boat first, Lin Dongyao followed him forward, his ink pupils drooped, but the light looked at the cabin of the pleasure boat. The faint warm light came from the cabin. He knew that she was the one sleeping inside.
After sitting down, Lin Jian waved to Zijin.
"You are waiting outside the cabin. If she wakes up, come and call me. Prepare her favorite refreshments. I haven't seen her move for dinner tonight. I will definitely be hungry if I wake up."
Lin Jian in deep voice reminded Zi Jin.
Zi Jin nodded frequently.
When Zijin stepped down, Qiu Shan spoke happily.
"Your Highness is so affectionate and delicate. I just don't know what a beautiful lady is in this cabin, which makes your Highness so worried?"
"Haha--the secrets cannot be revealed." Lin Jian smiled mysteriously and did not accept Qiu Shan's words.
"Yes, yes, your Highness said." Qiu Shan understood that he could not ask about his identity, so he naturally would not continue to ask.
Lin Dongyao's expression was as cold as frost from beginning to end.
Most of the conversations between Lin Jian and Qiu Shan were about the matter of the Imperial Merchant, and they even made a vague statement that this year's selection of Imperial Merchants will be carried out through other methods, which is equivalent to giving Qiu Shan a reassurance. The fewer Imperial Merchants, the fewer Imperial Merchants will be.
Lin Dongyao just listened quietly to the two of them.
"Fifth brother, why didn't I bring Qiu Rong here today? Mr. Qiu is here too. We can meet all the family." Lin Jian said something in his words, as if he was saying that Lin Dongyao and Qiu Rong were about to become a family.
Lin Dongyao's eyes were cold and he said lightly,
"She is with her mother in the palace."
