The Emperor's Favorite Fenghua: Master Guoshi is a magic stick

Chapter 77

Lin Lanting felt that he had an illusion. Just when Zhong Lihai's hand was about to touch his arm, he suddenly backed away.His loving face suddenly shrank, feeling a little distant and as unpredictable as usual...

Lin Lanting's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he clasped his fists calmly and said, "I have seen my father."

At the same time, Cai De next to him walked over, as if he had just come in from outside the door.At this time, he walked in front of Zhong Lihai, glanced at Lin Lanting, and nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness." Then he looked at Zhong Lihai and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here."

Lin Lanting lowered his head and looked slightly deeper.

It turned out that he was also called Zhong Lijin.

Oh, he didn't mean to see him alone.It seems that the so-called deep love between father and son was just an illusion on his part for a moment.

After Zhong Lijin came in, he saluted Zhong Lihai: "I have seen Father."

When he looked sideways and saw Lin Lanting was there, he was slightly surprised.

"Get up!" Zhong Lihai turned around and sat on the main seat.

Zhong Lijin got up and looked at Lin Lanting, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "Unexpectedly, the third brother is also there. Some time ago, I heard that the third brother is not in good health, so he went to the mountain to recuperate. The fourth brother is very worried. It's okay, Seeing that the third brother is safe and sound now, the fourth brother is relieved."

"I'm sorry, fourth brother, I'm sorry, but my body is not as good as that of a normal person, but I can still live a hundred years." Lin Lanting responded politely on the surface, but the coldness in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Zhong Lijin could naturally feel the subtle confrontation, but his mood was not affected, and he still said very well: "By the way, the fourth brother has to congratulate the third brother. This marriage appointed by the emperor, But with the Master of the National Teacher. I believe that if we form a marriage with the Master of the National Teacher, the third brother's body will soon return to normal..."

He said congratulations, but the ridicule in his eyes was obviously a show.

Thinking about the appearance of Zuo Qiu Yao that day, I almost got eaten by that old woman. It was so terrifying.

When it came to marriage, Zhong Lihai above was obviously a little guilty and did not dare to look at Lin Lanting's expression at this time.So he immediately changed the topic, took the initiative to divert the matter, looked majestically at Zhong Lijin and Lin Lanting below and said, "I called you here today because there is a business to discuss. The funds for this disaster relief in Yuzhou are unexpectedly Less than half of them have reached the common people, and Su Mian, the prefect of Yuzhou, even concealed and lied about the details of the drought. The real number of refugees is much more than I imagined..."

Is it really a political matter?
Lin Lanting lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Zhong Lijin, who was next to him, was already impatient and said angrily: "This is unreasonable, then father, this Su Mian must be governed. Not only corruption and bribery, but also the lives of innocent people are ignored."

"So, I want to know what you think about this matter?" Zhong Lihai asked.

When Lin Lanting heard this, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he said: "Father, I have never participated in the government affairs, and I don't know about the various divisions in the court. So I have no suggestion..."

"You..." Zhong Lihai looked at him with his head down and expressionless face, and immediately looked like he was about to get angry, and then he endured it, then turned his head to look at Zhong Lijin and asked, "Where's Jin'er? You I also know what happened in Jingtian Mansion a few days ago. I’m afraid this matter has wide implications..."

Zhong Lijin is used to Lin Lanting's attitude of always being against his father, and he is also secretly pleased.

My father indulges you because of your body, but do you think you can continue to do whatever you want with this?
The more tense Lin Lanting's relationship with his father is, the better it is for him.

So Zhong Lijin immediately acted obediently and made a bunch of remarks of his own.

Zhong Lihai was not actually prepared to be angry with Lin Lanting. He knew his character so he was just pretending.Zhong Lijin showed his knowledge and unique insights throughout the whole process. Zhong Lihai did not ask Lin Lanting any more questions and just asked him to stand aside until the end of the meeting.

At the last moment of the discussion, nothing specific was discussed about this matter.

Perhaps Zhong Lihai had already made his own plans in his heart and just wanted to hear what his two sons thought.And maybe he just wanted to use this as an excuse to meet Lin Lanting to find out how he was doing.

Until the imperial study room dispersed.

Zhong Lijin who came out looked at Lin Lanting and smiled slightly: "It seems that the third brother is very satisfied with this marriage! He didn't even mention it just now."

"You really want me to contradict my father all the time?" Lin Lanting said expressionlessly.

Zhong Lijin immediately laughed and said, "How could it be? Third brother misunderstood. In fact, I went to see Master Guoshi some time ago!"

Lin Lanting narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhong Lijin.

Why did he go to see the Imperial Master?
Then I saw him continue: "I don't know what the Imperial Master likes? But it is said that the Imperial Master has many male favorites in the back hall, so he dedicated a male favorite. That day when I went there, the entire Imperial Master's Hall The back garden was very lively, and the scene of hundreds of flowers blooming was amazing. But for the male favorite I offered, the Imperial Master was also very happy, and he immediately accepted it.

So I think, third brother, you are so pretty and your looks are not on the same level as those vulgar and pink ones.If the Imperial Master saw you, where would there be so many seats in the backyard?Master Guoshi will definitely favor you alone. "

It sounds like a compliment.

But he compared the dignified prince Lin Lanting with those male favorites.

It's obviously the most sarcastic mockery.

Lin Lanting's expression was cold, but luckily he could control it.His narrow eyes looked at Zhong Lijin, who was smiling in front of him, and said: "Fourth brother, you are worrying too much. This marriage has not yet been decided. Who I will marry in the end is not yours, fourth brother, you have the right to decide. Even so. It's the father, and what he said doesn't count..."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'm curious, third brother, do you want to resist the decree?" A gleam flashed deep in Zhong Lijin's eyes.

Resist the decree and disrespect...

Isn't it the scene he is most looking forward to seeing?

"Don't bother me, fourth brother, to worry so much. You should mind your own business!" Lin Lanting turned around and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Lijin, who was standing behind him, suddenly continued to speak: "It is said that the Imperial Master's Palace is very lively tonight. Third brother, don't you want to go and see it?"

And Lin Lanting at the other end has left without looking back.

Zhong Lijin stood where he was, with a weird smile on his face.

The more Lin Lanting dislikes this marriage, the more he will dislike his father.

And how to become more disgusted with this marriage is to reject the national master.

So his plan to offer a male favorite is really clever. Both sides can sow discord and finally achieve what they want.

Yu Xi, who was waiting not far away, watched this scene and hurriedly followed Lin Lanting.
