The people in the palace generally consisted of maids, servants and guards. Because of Cheng Yan, there were not many maids and servants in the palace. Their previous job was mainly to take care of the daily life of the prince. Although there was now an additional prince's wife, there was no need to add more people to the palace.
When Lin Mo woke up, Cheng Yan was no longer beside him. Hearing the slight movement in the room, the maid standing outside knocked on the door and called softly. After receiving the response, she walked in, and the others also went in with warm water.
Lin Mo stood up and opened his hands to let them help him put on his clothes. The complexity of this dress was incomparable to what he had worn before. There were several layers inside and outside, and the style was different every day. Lin Mo thought about it and decided to let the maid help him put on the clothes. He really couldn't do this.
However, because Lin Mo doesn't like strangers getting too close, Cheng Yan usually does these things himself.
"Where is your prince?" Lin Mo put down his arms, lowered his head and straightened his cuffs while asking.
"My Lord, the prince has already entered the palace. He asked you to have lunch early at noon, so you don't have to wait. He will probably be back home in the afternoon." The maid standing by holding clothes answered softly.
"Yeah." Lin Mo heard it and was silent for a few seconds before nodding.
The maids standing by lowered their heads slightly. They were not allowed to speak unless asked by their master. The room was silent for a while, with only the slight friction sound of clothes being put on.
The two maids who were helping Wang Fu get dressed quickened their hands while trying not to touch him. After he was dressed and had his hair combed, Lin Mo simply washed up and went out.
Lin Mo raised his head and squinted at the sky, estimating that it was already around ten o'clock.
"My Lord, before he left, the prince specifically instructed you to drink some porridge after you wake up." The maid following behind him said softly.
"Well, lead the way." Lin Mo nodded and raised his chin slightly to signal her to lead the way.
The palace covers a large area, has many houses, and has a lot of crisscrossing paths. Lin Mo had only been there once or twice with Cheng Yan before, but he couldn't remember the way very well.
Before Cheng Yan left, he specifically asked Uncle Fu to cook some porridge for Lin Mo to nourish his blood and stomach, and put it in the pot to warm it up and wait for Lin Mo to wake up before letting him eat some. When Lin Mo walked to the hall, the maid just brought the porridge up.
Lin Mo was sitting aside eating. When he had almost finished, he heard someone coming to report that His Highness Jin Yuan and the Prime Minister's daughter were coming to visit the mansion and had already arrived.
"Prince Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Ruoyan, who had been taking care of the prince and was now the first maid beside Prince Wang, saw that something was wrong with Prince Wang and asked quickly.
"...It's okay." Lin Mo lowered his head slightly, and there was no emotion in his voice. But his fingers were shaking slightly from holding the spoon so tightly that his nails turned white.
The Prime Minister’s daughter?! That woman!!
She actually came to my house on her own? Then there is no need to look for her on your own. Should I get rid of her as soon as possible...
No! He has no grudge against that woman now, and he can't cause trouble for Cheng Yan...
Anyway, Cheng Yan is the emperor's biological brother, so there won't be any trouble if that woman dies, so just get rid of her...
However, Cheng Yan was not around, so he could not do anything. How could he explain to Cheng Yan that he had gotten rid of that woman?
…
The scarlet in Lin Mo's eyes was faintly visible, as if he was struggling. He clenched his left hand on his leg, trying his best to suppress the trembling of his whole body caused by his out-of-control emotions.
Wang Fu's body trembled slightly, and his nails turned white. Ruoyan naturally saw these reactions. Ruoyan turned her head to look at the other maid beside her and motioned her to find Housekeeper Fu.
Soon, Butler Fu came over, "Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Wang? Do you want to go back to your room to rest?"
"It's okay. It's probably because I haven't recovered from my previous illness yet." Lin Mo suppressed the hatred in his eyes, raised his head and replied with a slightly curled lip.
Butler Fu saw that Wang Fu's face was pale without a trace of blood, and there was some sweat on his forehead. The old butler frowned slightly, feeling a little worried. Wang Fu's condition did not look like he was fine.
"His Highness Jinyuan is visiting today, probably to meet you. As for the Prime Minister's daughter, her status is not as high as yours. If you are not feeling well, you don't have to meet her in person."
"Nothing. His Highness Jin Yuan's prince's younger brother comes to the palace, and I should personally entertain him." Lin Mo shook his head and stood up and asked the servant to lead the way.
Uncle Fu was right. His status was higher than that of the prime minister's daughter. His current status with that of the woman who traveled through time was not like that in the dream.
There is always a way to quietly get rid of her, and there is no need to rush and ruin his current life. I just don't know if the current prime minister's daughter has changed her mind.
Lin Mo followed the servant, walking slowly, his mind working quickly. He had to find a solution before his second brother came to the imperial city and met the prime minister's daughter. He couldn't let his second brother be deceived by that woman again.
After walking for a long time, he finally reached the garden. Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in the pavilion not far away. Lin Mo stared at the gorgeously dressed girl as if he was looking at a dead object, his eyes were as calm as a dead pool.
Lin Mo walked through the corridor at a leisurely pace. When he was about to salute, he was supported by His Highness Jin Yuan.
"How can a brother-in-law bow to his younger brother? I can't stand it. If my fifth brother finds out, he will scold me again." An Jinyuan hurried forward to support him.
Lin Mo raised his lips slightly, but said nothing. Is this Cheng Yan's younger brother? He seems to be a brother too. Perhaps because of Cheng Yan, Lin Mo has a good impression of An Jinyuan.
"Fifth brother-in-law can call me Ayuan just like Fifth Brother." An Jinyuan took him to the stone table and sat him down, saying with a faint smile.
“In that case, Ayuan has to change the way he addresses me. Fifth Brother sounds a bit unfamiliar.” Lin Mo said with a smile.
From the time Lin Mo came over to the time he sat down, he was talking to An Jinyuan the whole time. He didn't even glance at the girl sitting next to him, as if he couldn't see her.
What surprised Lin Mo was that An Jinyuan didn't say anything about it, nor did he act as a middleman for the two of them to talk. It seemed that he was not very familiar with the prime minister's daughter.
"You are the husband of King Cheng? I thought that the husband of King Cheng looked fierce like him. I didn't expect him to be such a weak guy like you." The girl in gorgeous clothes smiled, and there seemed to be some innocence in her tone.
When Lin Mo heard what she said, his expression didn't change. However, An Jinyuan, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly and looked at her with some displeasure in her eyes.
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and was certain in his heart that the girl's heart had changed. She dared to speak like this, especially in front of His Highness An Jinyuan. The daughter of the prime minister of ancient times would not have such courage.
"How do you know King Cheng looks fierce? Have you seen him?" Lin Mo glanced at her with no emotion in his eyes and asked.
"I heard it from other people. Isn't it rumored that King Cheng has a cruel and moody temper?" The girl blinked and looked at Lin Mo, puzzled.
If this woman is not really stupid, then she is too scheming and knows how to disguise herself with innocence. Perhaps, in my brother's previous life, this woman was like this, using her innocent appearance to attract men to her.
Lin Mo's disgust towards her increased a little bit. Did he think that just by blinking and pretending to be innocent, she would really think of herself as a naive little girl?
"Enough! Someone, send the Prime Minister's daughter back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" The smile on An Jinyuan's face faded instantly. He looked at her with cold eyes and ordered the guards standing by.
"Yes, Your Highness." Several guards bowed their heads respectfully and then walked over to the Prime Minister's daughter.
"Huh? What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" the girl asked puzzledly.
"A mere daughter of the prime minister dares to talk about the prince, and to do so in front of me. Tell me where you went wrong?" An Jinyuan looked at her coldly. Not punishing her was already a matter of consideration for the prime minister's face.
“I’m not the only one saying this…”
However, before she could finish, she was taken away by the guards. The guards, maids and servants standing around the pavilion all looked up at her calmly, then continued to look straight ahead and stand aside.
It was rumored that the Prime Minister's daughter had injured her head not long ago. Today, I saw that it was true. She actually dared to talk about their prince in front of Prince Cheng's mansion and His Royal Highness Jin Yuan. She also said that she was a well-educated and well-mannered lady. This was almost the same as a concubine's daughter who was not presentable. Maybe the concubine's daughter was more polite than her.
After she and her maid walked out of Prince Cheng's mansion and got on the sedan chair, the innocence on the girl's face disappeared completely, and there was some disdain in her eyes. Isn't it just that your status is higher than hers? Wait, I'll let you jump around for a few more days. When my male master succeeds in usurping the throne, your status as a highness will sooner or later be trampled under my feet.
After everyone left, An Jinyuan's expression warmed up a little, "Amo, don't get too close to the Prime Minister's daughter in the future. That woman is a little abnormal."
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Lin Mo came back to his senses and asked in confusion.
"I heard that she broke her brain not long ago, and she became a little abnormal after waking up. Not only did she forget everything she learned before, but I heard that she often went out of the house and had close relationships with many men."
At this point, An Jinyuan felt a little disgusted. That woman had been entangled with so many men, and she even dared to fantasize about the emperor. I heard that she often appeared beside the emperor's uncle, Prince Jing, recently.
Lin Mo listened, pinching his fingers with both hands, with some deep thoughts in his eyes. It seems that the time-traveling girl has already started her journey to the harem.
However, seeing that she does not hide her strangeness at all, does she trust her own aura as the protagonist, or does she think that the ancients were blind?
When An Jinyuan thought of that woman saying that her brother was an alien in this world and should not exist, she looked at her as if she were a dead person. If she was not still useful to her brother's plan, she would have no life left for questioning her brother's existence.
"Let's go and visit the garden. I haven't been here for a long time, ever since my fifth brother went to the border. I heard that my fifth brother recently found some fruit trees to plant in the garden. What are they? When the fruits are ripe, my brother and I will come and pick some." An Jinyuan said with a smile.
Seeing him stand up, Lin Mo also stood up and accompanied him for a walk. "He didn't tell me this." Lin Mo shook his head.
"So Fifth Brother just wanted to give you a surprise? You let me tell you in advance. I don't know how depressed Fifth Brother will be when he knows it." An Jinyuan covered his mouth and chuckled.
"It's okay, I can pretend that I don't know." Lin Mo thought for a moment and said.
Seeing this, An Jinyuan's smile deepened, and there was also a little more envy. The Fifth Brother and his husband have a really good relationship. I used to think it would be difficult for the Fifth Brother to find someone he likes.
