"The two of you should stop shouting in my palace. You're making my head hurt. With your Brother Lin Shu today, I don't have to accompany you to watch a show or listen to music!”
"There's no need. I have a lot of things to ask Brother Lin Zhu.”
"Lin Shu, take your leave!"
After leaving the Empress Dowager's palace, Princess Ni Huang asked with a smile,"Brother Lin Shu, I heard that you won a great victory in the northern border. I've been hearing people talking about you these days.”
Lin Shu smiled as she recounted the events at the border. When she mentioned the dangerous areas, Princess Nihuang clicked her tongue. She then heard Lin Shu's plan to flood the 30,000 Northern Wei soldiers and couldn't help but exclaim in satisfaction.
As they walked, a strong young man walked over. He was still far away from them, so he shouted,"Lin Shu, Lin Shu!"
"Jing Yan?" Lin Shu couldn't help but shout when she saw the young man walking towards her.
It was the seventh son of Emperor Liang, Xiao Jingyan. He had yet to be crowned king, but it was almost time. In another half a year, Xiao Jingyan would be sixteen and could be crowned king.
"Is it really you? I went to the Lin manor in the morning. Aunt told me that you were summoned to the palace by my father, so I came over to wait for you. Why did you only come out now?”
Lin Shu looked at the good brother in front of her. The two of them were about the same age and had been martial artists since childhood. Xiao Jingyan had even learned from Lin Xie for a period of time. The two of them had been sparring since they were young. Two years ago, Lin Shu joined the army with her father, and Xiao Jingyan also went there together. It could be said that they had fought together, carried guns together, and stood guard together. They were brothers made of iron.
"I went to Imperial Grandmother's place again and just bumped into Ni Huang!”
"Oh, no wonder. Ni Huang, since you're here, it saves me the trouble of inviting you. Let's go to the Moon Gazing Restaurant. I've ordered a table of good dishes there. Today, we're going to give Lin Shu a good welcome dinner.”
"Alright, alright!" The young Ni Huang had a lively personality and immediately cheered.
Lin Shu smiled and said," Drinking is fine, but getting drunk is not. I have to report to Mother later. If I go back late, I'm afraid I'll make him worry again!"”
"Then drink well." Xiao Jingyan patted Lin Shu's shoulder and pulled his arm to walk forward. As they walked, he asked,""I heard that Imperial Father wants you to be the Crown Prince's attendant?”
"Yes, sir!"
"Hmph, how can a Crown Prince's student be as comfortable as leading an army to war? Listening to those old professors reciting scriptures and lecturing every day is giving me a headache. With your temper, I guarantee that you won't be able to take it in less than three days!”
"Even if you can't stand the emperor's orders, you have to endure it!”Facing Xiao Jingyan, Lin Shu also relaxed and smiled,""Actually, this isn't what gives me the biggest headache.”
"Oh? What's that!"
"I know, I know!" "Brother Lin Shu definitely doesn't want to accompany the Crown Prince!" Ni Huang interrupted.”
Lin Shu's eyes flashed as she hurriedly looked around. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one around. She said in a low voice,"Ni Huang, it's fine if we talk about these things in private, but you must not say it casually in the future. Be careful that the walls have ears.”
Ni Huang knew that she had done something wrong as soon as she said that. When she heard Lin Shu's reprimand, she stuck out her tongue and smiled,"I'll kill whoever dares to talk nonsense.”
Lin Shu was stunned and shook his head with a bitter smile. Xiao Jingyan lowered his voice and said,""I really don't understand what Imperial Father is thinking. He actually made Second Brother the Crown Prince. With Eldest Brother's talent, he will definitely be a wise ruler in the future!”
Lin Shu was silent. Even if he knew the reason, he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't decide who the Crown Prince was. Fortunately, the Red Flame Army had finally gotten out of the predicament. No matter how much Emperor Liang suspected King Qi, he couldn't act rashly without a good reason. Otherwise, he would be labeled as a tyrant who killed his son.
As long as King Qi was still around, the poisonous thorn in Emperor Liang's heart would always exist. With Emperor Liang's suspicions and methods, when he realized that his control over King Qi was weakening, he would definitely be ruthless and unscrupulous.
Fortunately, he still had time! As long as Lin Shu was still alive, he would not let history repeat itself.
The Moon Viewing Tower was not very famous in Jinling, but the fish here was very good. He still remembered that when Xiao Jingyan was learning strategy and martial arts from Lin Shu's father, they often ate at the Moon Viewing Tower. It was not for any reason, but it was closer to the Lin Mansion. Because of the poor environment, no officials usually came here to eat. It was more secluded.
The three of them walked together and exchanged cups, so they naturally talked a lot.
"In a few more days, Imperial Grandmother will be celebrating her 70th birthday. At that time, Imperial Father will hold a banquet for the officials and the whole world will celebrate. At that time, there will definitely be a lively scene. However, we have to prepare a congratulatory gift.”
It was rare for people to live past 70 years old. The ancients often thought that people could not live past 70 years old because there was a mistake in the Book of Life and Death. Once they passed 70 years old, the King of Hell would find out the mistake and take them in. In order to deceive the King of Hell, once they reached 70 years old, they would still be 70 years old no matter how long they lived in the future. They did not say anything more in order to deceive the King of Hell.
"Doesn't the Empress Dowager like to recite Buddhist scriptures?" Lin Shu smiled. The Diamond Sutra of the Great Zen Monastery is not to be spread. If you can sincerely ask for this Buddhist scripture as a child, I think the Empress Dowager will be very happy!”
"Buddhist scriptures? Isn't this gift a little too light?" Xiao Jingyan hesitated.
