Lin Mo sat in his seat, a faint smile on his face, listening to the conversation between the three brothers. Sometimes the topic fell on him, and he would stop talking after answering.
Lin Mo looked at them, feeling a little dazed. In fact, An Jinyuan was a bit similar to him, both of them had two brothers who loved him. However, their endings were different. Lin Mo looked up at An Jinyuan, who was smiling with a slightly curved face, and felt a little envious.
Those who are spoiled by their brothers are the happiest.
However, he is very happy now. In his new life, he has his family and Cheng Yan.
After chatting for a long time, Cheng Yan seemed to notice that Momo was a little absent-minded. "Do you want to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden? Or do you want to go back home?" Cheng Yan asked in a low voice.
"No, you guys continue talking..."
"You're leaving so soon? No, Ah Mo said before that he would come to the palace to find me, and now is the perfect time. How about we go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden and let the fifth and third brothers talk here." An Jinyuan stood up and walked to Lin Mo, took his hand and said with a smile.
"Well, I just happen to want to visit the palace as well." Lin Mo stood up and said helplessly.
"Momo is not feeling well, don't hang around for too long." Cheng Yan warned.
"I know. I always feel that you, Fifth Brother, have become more and more nagging." An Jinyuan muttered, then pulled Lin Mo away.
Cheng Yan watched their backs as they left. He turned around only when they were out of sight. He was then surprised to see his brother staring at him.
"Do you like him very much?" An Chenglin felt that he was talking nonsense as soon as he finished speaking. If he didn't like him, his brother wouldn't have changed so much because of one person.
"I thought my brother knew it all along." Cheng Yan picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and said.
If he didn't like him, he wouldn't have married Lin Mo when he lost his memory. Although he lost his memory, he was able to like Lin Mo and accept him. It was impossible for him to dislike him after he recovered his memory.
"By the way, my royal brother, please have someone renovate the Lin family's ancestral home and put some furniture in it." Cheng Yan suddenly remembered what he had investigated and spoke.
"Why do all this? Those old stubborn people in the Yu family are guarding the Lin family's ancestral home very closely. If I make any move, they will pile up memorials all over my desk." An Chenglin refused. He didn't want to listen to the nagging of those old men.
"There are still people in the Lin family. I asked someone to investigate earlier, and it is almost confirmed."
"Lin Mo too?" An Chenglin raised his eyes to look at him and asked.
"Yeah." Cheng Yan nodded.
An Jinyuan took Lin Mo out and headed towards the Imperial Garden, followed by many palace maids and guards. Although this was in the Imperial Palace, An Chenglin did not dare to be careless about his brother's safety, and had to bring guards with him wherever he went.
"Why can't I see the concubines in the palace?" After walking around half of the imperial garden, Lin Mo didn't see the legendary concubines in the harem, and asked in confusion.
In Lin Mo's impression, the most common thing in the imperial garden of the palace is flowers, followed by concubines. Now it is so quiet here that Lin Mo feels a little weird.
"Concubine? Didn't fifth brother tell you?" An Jinyuan looked at him, puzzled.
"say what?"
"There is no woman or brother in your harem. Before, some ministers submitted memorials asking you to choose a concubine, but you rejected them all." An Jinyuan said with a smile.
“Can it be like this?” Lin Mo’s heart shuddered. If things continued to develop like this, would the young emperor end up becoming one of Su Qingran’s concubines?
"Perhaps it's because my brother hasn't met someone he likes yet. Given my brother's personality, if it's not someone he likes, he would even feel like taking her into the harem is in the way." An Jinyuan reached out and picked a flower, saying.
The three brothers all inherited the temperament of their maternal grandfather, loving only one person. Unfortunately, their mother was unlucky and was taken as a concubine by that man just because he wanted to get rid of their maternal grandfather's family.
The fifth brother has already found his husband, but I don't know when the third brother will be able to marry the emperor's husband. As for him, I heard that the third brother wanted him to choose a prince consort from the top three in this year's imperial examination. I don't know if he can find someone he likes in the end, An Jinyuan was a little absent-minded.
"My brother doesn't have any concubines in the harem, and the Queen Mother doesn't care?" Lin Mo asked in confusion. In his impression, the Queen Mother had another role, which was to make the Emperor take concubines with just a few words.
"Empress Dowager, hum..." An Jinyuan's face turned cold instantly when he heard the word Empress Dowager.
"Can't say?" Lin Mo saw the change in An Jinyuan, tilted his head to glance at the palace maid following behind them, then turned back and asked in a low voice.
The palace maid waiting on the side followed them with her head slightly lowered. She seemed to be deaf to their conversation and her expression did not change.
"There's nothing I can't tell you, but things are a little complicated. If you want to know, go back and ask Fifth Brother... Forget it, it's no use asking Fifth Brother. He's been guarding the border all year round and doesn't know much about what's going on in the palace."
After listening to An Jinyuan's explanation, Lin Mo did not ask any more questions. He felt that if he continued to ask, he would be able to find out the secrets of the palace.
In the side hall, Cheng Yan and An Chenglin finally finished discussing some things.
"By the way, my royal brother, how is Prince Jing's investigation going?"
"I can't find out now, except that you were attacked a year ago, and you were ambushed on your way back a few days ago. However, I can't find any evidence. He has a very good image in front of others, so I can't find any evidence against him."
"Really? There's no rush. As long as Prince Jing and the Prime Minister are connected, we'll find evidence. I'll send some shadow guards to investigate."
"Well, when are you and Lin Mo going to have a baby?" An Chenglin asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Cheng Yan was stunned by his brother's sudden question and looked at him with some suspicion.
"Be prepared. If I don't have a child, I will adopt one of yours." An Chenglin looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with this topic.
"Then my royal brother should find someone to have a baby as soon as possible. Momo and I don't plan to have children." Cheng Yan glanced at An Chenglin and refused.
"Don't plan to have a child? Is it because of his health? Just ask the imperial physician to treat him for some time and he will be fine." An Chenglin frowned.
"It's a physical problem. I haven't recovered well. I've consulted a doctor before." Even if she recovers well and successfully gets pregnant, there are still risks. Cheng Yan doesn't want Momo's life to be in danger because of a child.
"It's okay, I'll leave first... You and brother-in-law should try hard, maybe she can get pregnant." Cheng Yan said the last sentence before leaving.
Therefore, if you want to have a child, you should work hard on your own and don't try to have one from him.
An Chenglin sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After he put it down, Cheng Yan disappeared.
"Zero One."
"Master." As An Chenglin's voice fell, a man in black appeared instantly.
The black-clothed man had nothing to cover his face, so his face could be seen clearly. Unlike the other shadow guards, Lingyi looked childish, like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. But in fact, he was already twenty years old, with a baby face and round eyes.
"Come here." An Chenglin said in a low voice.
"Yes." Lingyi tried to keep a straight face and said seriously, then walked over.
As soon as he approached, An Chenglin reached out and held him in his arms, "Did you hear what Ayan said just now? If we work hard, maybe we will have a child." An Chenglin lowered his head and gently bit the tip of his ear, saying in a low voice.
"I am your shadow guard now, please don't hug me." Being hugged by An Chenglin like this, Ling Yi was instantly broken and said with a puffed face.
"You've been playing the role of a shadow guard for so long, aren't you tired of it yet? How about changing your identity? Be my royal husband?" An Chenglin held him on his lap and chuckled.
Lingyi was stunned by An Chenglin's smile, and his hand touched the corner of his eye uncontrollably. But he reacted the next second and quickly took it back.
"Well, since you've said so, I'll reluctantly agree to your request." Lingyi said somewhat unnaturally.
"Can you find out what Prince Jing did behind the scenes?" An Chenglin asked.
"Insufficient energy, unable to find out." Lingyi shook his head.
"The jade in the warehouse doesn't have enough energy?"
"There's too little energy in there. Now the energy plus the sun and your thing is only enough for me to maintain my body functions..." Lingyi said with a blush.
"Well... forget it. There's no rush anyway." An Chenglin automatically ignored some of the words Lingyi said that he didn't understand.
"Since you have nothing to do now, let me replenish your energy." An Chenglin held him up and walked towards the bedroom in the side hall.
"Ah? Coming again? Didn't we just do it last night?" Lingyi struggled, trying to get down.
"Didn't you say before that you should do it at least twice a day? Let's do the first time now, and the second time in the evening." An Chenglin hugged the person.
"Actually, once a day is enough. The rest of the time I just lie in the yard and bask in the sun."
"You're telling me now? It's too late."
…
Lin Mo and An Jinyuan walked around the Imperial Garden, and when they saw that it was almost time, they prepared to return. On the way, they ran into someone.
"Uncle." Seeing that it was Prince Jing who was coming over, An Jinyuan stopped, holding Lin Mo's hand and saluted.
The servants following behind both parties also saluted to each other's masters. Only Lin Mo followed An Jinyuan in saluting and stood aside to watch.
Prince Jing? The Emperor's uncle? He was the prince that An Jinyuan had told him about before, the one that Su Qingran had been pestering recently. Lin Mo raised his eyes and glanced at him, then looked away.
This Prince Jing does have the capital to make Su Qingran pester him.
"Who is this..." Prince Jing looked at the young man standing next to his nephew and asked puzzledly.
"Ayuan, why are you taking so long? Didn't I tell you that Momo is not in good health and you shouldn't walk for so long?" Cheng Yan's voice came from behind.
The attendants waiting behind His Highness Jin Yuan and Mr. Cheng heard His Highness Mr. Cheng's voice and hurried to the sides. Cheng Yan walked over from the empty path in the middle.
"Fifth brother, we are just planning to go back." An Jinyuan said quickly.
"It's Prince Jing. How come he has time to come to the palace at this time?" Cheng Yan's heart sank when he saw that the person standing opposite them was Prince Jing.
"I'm here to visit the Empress Dowager." Prince Jing smiled gently.
"In that case, we won't bother you anymore." Cheng Yan nodded at him, then left with the two people beside him.
Prince Jing glanced at their leaving figures, smiled, and then walked in another direction.
Apparently, that young man was Mr. Cheng.
"Didn't my royal brother and I tell you to stay away from Prince Jing as much as possible?" Cheng Yan spoke after they were far away.
"It was an accidental bump, and we didn't say much." An Jinyuan glanced at his fifth brother, and seeing that he didn't seem angry, he quickly explained.
Lin Mo tilted his head to look at An Jinyuan, then at Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan was in a bad mood, was it because of Prince Jing?
