Everyone inside and outside the palace is under Li Lin's eye, so he will know what happens in the palace soon.
The Ninth Prince is only twelve years old this year, his biological mother is not of noble birth, and she is not taken seriously in the harem.
But now that the old emperor has chosen him, he is really repeating his old tricks.
I guess that's how he was chosen by the old emperor to serve as a shield when the prince showed up, right?
This Xiaojiu is also a poor person.
He's just a twelve-year-old child, not worth taking seriously.
After Li Lin finished handling the memorial in his hand, he changed into regular clothes and quietly went to the Grand Scholar's Office.
He ordered the secret guards to throw him into the courtyard wall.
Following the memory, I found Liu Qingran's room.
Opened the door and walked in.
Liu Qingran was practicing calligraphy when she heard someone opening the door and coming in. She thought it was her maid: "I told you not to come in and disturb me while I was practicing calligraphy."
"Neither can I?" Li Lin stepped forward and took a look: "My lady's handwriting is so good."
"Why are you here?" Liu Qingran was startled and backed away repeatedly. The ink on his hand smeared the rice paper, and the good calligraphy was really lost.
Seeing her panic, Li Lin became even more vicious, chased after her, pinned her between the table and himself, and said with a smile: "We have already had skin-to-skin contact, why are you still so open-minded?
"
"It's broad daylight, please be careful what you say!" Liu Qingran's ears turned red and she frowned at him.
Although the two people have had skin-to-skin contact, they were not caused by love, but by drugs, so now, Liu Qingran actually doesn't know the other person's body structure very well.
She looked at him nervously: "Are you looking for me...looking for me..."
"What are you looking for? Promote prostitution in the daytime?" Li Lin smiled slightly and pinched her chin: "Then are you looking forward to it or rejecting it?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingran slapped the back of his hand hard and said angrily: "My lord, please respect yourself. This is the bachelor's palace, not your regent's palace!"
Sure enough, this is her.
From the first meeting, Li Lin knew that this girl was definitely not as weak as she seemed.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and then whispered: "I just like your fierce look. By the way, I came here to ask you, can I take a concubine after you have done nothing for three years?"
"Before we get married, the prince is already thinking about taking a concubine?" Liu Qingran gritted his teeth. "In that case, why do you need to get married?"
This one is still arrogant.
Li Lin stepped forward and said, "Who else in the entire Great Xia besides me wants you? Who dares to want you?"
"What's the big deal if you never get married?" Liu Qingran snorted: "Our bachelor's house can still afford to support me."
Sure enough, a good family background means domineering!
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I heard that you have a cousin who is very skilled in martial arts and is not popular with the family?" Li Lin came here this time to find talents.
The Liu family is from a scholarly family, so naturally they look down upon reckless men.
But it happened that she had a cousin who liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child.
I have always been disliked by my family, but I am free and independent. Even if my family doesn't like me, I never give up.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Qingran frowned and looked at him.
"I plan to find a position for him in the army, what do you think?" Li Lin looked at her with a smile.
Although he has not fully understood Li Lin, Liu Qingran still hopes that his cousin will have a good future.
"His name is Gu Siman." Liu Qingran took a breath: "He is Zhong Yanghou's youngest son. You can go find him yourself."
Li Lin immediately stepped forward, looked at her with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I've started to promote your family members before you even get married. How about my husband-in-law?"
"Ahem, it's good, it's good." Liu Qingran felt shy for a while and backed away: "My lord, just talk and don't get so close, okay?"
When he heard someone coming outside, Li Lin's first reaction was to hide in the cabinet.
His movements were so smooth, it didn't look like it was his first time doing something like this.
It's just that Liu Qingran really doesn't know, what is he hiding from?
"Miss, you've been writing all morning, how about some fruit?" The little maid Magpie came in with a fruit plate: "Hey, why is this paper dirty?"
Liu Qingran looked normal, not at all flustered by the man hiding in the cupboard, and just said calmly: "I accidentally got it dirty, it's okay."
"Miss is getting married soon. Don't you even embroider a dowry?" Magpie looked at Liu Qingran curiously: "Is it possible that I still want to leave the court with my name as Miss?"
Liu Qingran lowered his head: "The embroiderers will do a good job, why should I do it myself?"
"Young lady, you don't like the Prince Regent?" The magpie didn't know that the Prince Regent himself was in the cabinet, so he spoke without any scruples.
Liu Qingran put down the paperweight in his hand and said calmly: "Getting married is just a matter of marrying two people. What you said doesn't matter."
"But Miss..."
"Go down."
Liu Qingran didn't want to say too much and waved her hand to let her go down.
Magpie bit her lower lip: "Yes!"
She turned around and went out to close the door.
Liu Qingran turned around and ran into Li Lin's arms.
"Well, it hurts!" Liu Qingran frowned and looked at him: "Why did you come out?"
"You don't like me?" Li Lin frowned and looked at her: "You married me because of circumstances, right?"
Liu Qingran didn't seem to understand why he was angry.
He hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Then, why do you want to marry me?"
This was probably the first time that Liu Qingran behaved unruly in front of him, no, it was the second time!
The first time was to kill him!
Li Lin smiled: "Of course it's because I like you!"
"If the prince doesn't tell the truth, then forget it." Liu Qingran waved his hand.
Li Lin smiled: "It was love at first sight. Why can't it be true? Besides, if I want you, I will naturally be responsible for you."
Seeing his serious look, Liu Qingran's heart beat hard twice. Staring into his dark eyes, Liu Qingran felt as if she had fallen into an unfathomable black hole.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "Then, I will work hard to fall in love with you."
I don’t know why, but she’s so cute when she talks seriously about working hard.
Li Lin quickly kissed her on the face: "Silly girl, it's useless to work hard to love someone! I'll give you three days. If you regret it, you can cancel the engagement!"
After saying that, Li Lin jumped out of the window, and naturally there were people outside to help him.
Looking at the window, Liu Qingran's heart became confused.
Can I cancel the engagement? Do I want to cancel the engagement?
I don’t know why, she had always been anxious before, but after today’s trouble, she felt a lot more relaxed?
