Chapter 4: The Servant Chen Lin
Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared in the other courtyard. She looked at the fat little guy on the ground with his butt stuck out and his nose was bruised and his eyes were swollen. She curled her lips in disdain: "It's an insult to gentlemen!"
But then his eyes lit up and he said: "Princess is really a prodigy in martial arts, with excellent bones, but women are not allowed to wield swords and guns. If you can't get married when the time comes, how can you have a good life! Haha~"
Unexpectedly, Chen Naijian, who was secretly testing her, turned out to be very amiable in front of the princess, which made the fat man next to her very unhappy: "Oh, why don't you praise her like this? I'm the victim, okay?"
Huh~? Chen Lin squinted at the source of the sound. The little fat man immediately scratched his head and looked up to the sky: "The weather is so nice today! Haha..." After saying this, he peeked at Chen Lin from time to time.
The contrast between the two individuals, one old and one young, relieved the slightly tense atmosphere in the air.
Seeing Zhao Zhen repeating the prince's etiquette as if no one was around, Chen Lin frowned slightly: "Isn't it too late for the prince to practice etiquette at this time?"
Chen Lin was an old chamberlain and could tell what Zhao Zhen was doing at a glance, but what puzzled him was that he didn't practice when he was following the officials earlier, and now he couldn't even see the housekeeper. Only then did he remember that it was too late
That’s right!
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "I will go to the palace to visit my father. Of course, I must do the etiquette well. You are an old man in the palace, so I need your guidance."
Chen Lin was stunned by Zhao Zhen's words. She didn't expect that the prince would actually enter the palace, which was against Queen Liu's wishes!
Wang Yuyan looked at Zhao Zhen in front of her with confusion. She didn't expect that he would tell Chen Lin such an important thing! This was inconsistent with their previous plan.
Zhao Zhen was betting that Chen Lin would help him!
According to historical records, Chen Lin was Zhao Zhen's close confidant, and she was also Renzong's chamberlain since she was a child. Moreover, other chambermaids and maids called him "Duduzhi", and Duduzhi was the best chamberlain. This shows that
his status in the palace.
From his actions to protect himself that day, it can be seen that Chen Lin is one of his own. In front of his teacher Zhang Huaizheng, he denied that it was the other three who pushed her into the water, just because he was afraid that Zhang Huaizheng would punish him if he knew the truth.
These are not the most important. Zhao Zhen can be sure from the way Chen Lin looks at her that he will help her. In his eyes, Zhao Zhen sees the kindness that only the uncle next door can have. This should not happen no matter what.
In the eyes of the chamberlain, unless he watched himself grow up.
Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at him with burning eyes, Chen Lin suddenly felt a little moved. She had been with Zhao Zhen for so many years and saw him grow from a swaddling baby to a toddler. Now that he saw Zhao Zhen's grateful eyes for the first time, what was in his heart?
Can you not be excited?
But he shook his head and said: "The prince did this a bit recklessly. Although you have great righteousness, you are only eight years old after all. What's more, the court is extremely complicated, and Ding Xianggong is even more..."
Zhao Zhen answered him in a childish voice: "Ding Wei and Queen Liu are using each other. As long as the price I offer is higher than the Queen's, it is not impossible for him to defect in the face of battle!"
Chen Lin looked at the boy under ten years old in front of her in shock. These words were beyond the words of an eight-year-old boy! Could it be that a minister was helping him make suggestions?
That's right! Someone must have taught him to say this. Zhao Zhen used to be a well-behaved and good boy. How could he say such cunning words?
Chen Lin looked at the princess and others who were staring blankly at her, and asked Zhao Zhen with a smile: "Who taught you what the prince said?"
Being looked down upon, Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Internal supervisor, you still don't understand? Gu has already known the current situation before, you have to believe that Gu has the ability to get what he deserves!"
The childish yet confident voice made Chen Lin's eyes moist. This was obviously the prince's true thoughts. Unexpectedly, the prince was actually gifted!
"Prince, it's better to keep your thoughts in your heart! If you show off your talents too much, it will make the Queen and some ministers in the court uneasy!"
"Gu naturally knows that, so I asked you to help me. A pure and filial child will be valued wherever he goes and no one can tell him that he is wrong. Gu is going to visit his father and queen now!"
Zhao Zhen's words are correct. During the Song Dynasty, the Zhao family ruled the world with filial piety. Zhao Zhen should be a pure and filial prince, so that he could stand firm in the righteousness.
Chen Lin found that the child she had brought up since childhood suddenly matured. She was happy and a little ashamed at the same time. After all, there was no way to make a child bear a lot.
"Old slave, go and prepare now, the prince will be here later!"
Chen Lin left in a hurry, and Wang Yuyan stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Zhen's ear: "Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What if Chen Lin is the queen's person?! I told you yesterday not to believe in history too much. Today you
Something went wrong?!"
"It hurts, it hurts! Let go first~ I can't help it. Which of you can get out of this courtyard? Who can take me into the palace? Since you can't, I have to find someone! Have you thought of this before?
?Don’t forget we are just kids now.”
Wang Yuyan let go angrily: "You can find Zhang Huaizheng, the kind-hearted old man yesterday. He is your teacher and a civil servant, and of course he will help you!"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "No! He will definitely agree to help me if I do this, but it will also harm him in disguise. He is a civil servant. Ding Wei can easily deal with him and let him go out. When the time comes, I really can't.
Now you know who to trust."
"You are so scheming! What about the old eunuch just now? Do you plan to sacrifice him?" Cai Boqi, who had just been fattened, came over and asked curiously.
Zhao Zhen saw that his already fat little face had been beaten even fatter by Zhao Miaoyuan, and he frowned unbearably: "Of course he cannot be sacrificed, but Chen Lin has a high status in the palace and can be regarded as a close confidant of Zhenzong.
Empress Liu must have some scruples. As long as he is with me, I will naturally not let him suffer any misfortune. Um, are you okay?" After saying that, she poked his swollen cheek with her hand.
"Ouch~! Be gentler!" The little fat man yelled and jumped in pain.
When he saw Zhao Miaoyuan looking at him with beautiful eyes, he immediately pretended to be indifferent: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. Haha~"
Zhao Zhen whispered to him: "You are such a bitch~! You would risk your life just to pick up girls!"
As soon as Wang Yuyan pushed aside a banana, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "You can't do this!"
The two little boys stared blankly at Wang Yuyan, who was covering her mouth with a banana and smiling sweetly, and swallowed their saliva at the same time.
It was the little fat man who reacted first. When he saw Wang Yuyan's face turned ugly, he ran away in an instant and turned to Zhao Zhen and shouted: "You should accept her! She's so damn charming~ I'm going to find the princess!"
Zhao Zhen looked at Wang Yuyan with an embarrassed look on his face: "Beauty, do you want to make a date?!"
Wang Yuyan bit off half a banana and said bitterly: "I'll kill you on a date~"
