Lin Xiu took a look and then looked away. It was Lin Mo who just remembered that he forgot to tell his second brother that someone would come today.
"Second brother, this is Cheng Yan's younger brother..." Lin Mo explained to his second brother. Before he could figure out how to address Ah Yuan to his second brother, Lin Xiu spoke up.
"Your Highness Jinyuan." Lin Xiu bowed and saluted.
As soon as Lin Xiu heard that he was Cheng Yan's younger brother, he knew his identity. On the way to the capital, whenever he had some free time, Lin Xiu would discuss things with Yu Yange, and naturally he would mention the things in the capital.
Yu Yange was familiar with the affairs of the capital, so he told Lin Xiu, who shared the same aspirations, about some things. In order to prevent him from accidentally offending some dignitaries after arriving in the capital, he also briefly mentioned the affairs of the princes and nobles of the aristocratic families.
Although An Jinyuan was a boy, he had two older brothers, the emperor and the god of war general, and his status was noble. In addition, the emperor doted on his younger brother and gave him a title.
Although it is just a title, in the royal family of Yu State for several generations, it is the only one to confer the title of His Highness on a young man.
In Yu State, the princes and princesses in the palace were all called by their birth order. The word "Your Highness" was added at the end. In addition to the crown prince who was the heir to the throne, there were also princes who had been crowned as kings and princesses who needed to be given titles in exchange for marriage.
Therefore, everyone in the imperial city knows An Jinyuan's status.
This is what the wise king said before, that no matter what happens, don't mess with An Jinyuan, that's the truth.
"You are Amo's second brother, right? There's no need to be so formal in the palace." An Jinyuan coughed lightly and said.
"Yes." Lin Xiu stood up.
Lin Mo calmly moved to Cheng Yan's side, glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help but whisper, "Cheng Yan, do you think there's something wrong with my second brother and A Yuan?"
"Really?" Cheng Yan looked up at them and asked.
"Can't you see it? Am I being too suspicious?" Lin Mo muttered in a low voice.
The second brother couldn't tell, but Ah Yuan seemed to be more reserved than usual. The smile on his face was also a decent smile. If Lin Mo hadn't seen the other side of An Jinyuan, he would definitely admire it in his heart.
Perhaps it was because A Yuan had never had the experience of eating at the same table with a strange man and was a little uncomfortable. Lin Mo found a reason for his doubts.
Lin Mo's health was not good, so it was definitely not okay to just eat barbecue for lunch. The people in the kitchen remembered that the prince had ordered that medicinal porridge should be prepared for the prince's wife at every meal.
You can add some meat to the medicinal porridge, so Lin Mo can accept it.
In addition to porridge, I also made soup. I added some nourishing and blood-replenishing ingredients to the soup, and it was different every day. Fortunately, there was no taste of Chinese medicine in it, otherwise Lin Mo would definitely not drink it obediently every day.
"Amo, is he still taking medicine? Is he not well yet?" An Jinyuan asked in confusion when he saw the medicinal porridge and soup brought up by the servants.
"I didn't take any medicine. I just ate something to nourish my body every day." Lin Mo sat down and moved the porridge that Cheng Yan had served him.
After they prepared some, the servants watched over the rest. The charcoal fire used for the barbecue was smokeless, so even if the rack was placed at one end of the table, it would not be smoked.
When Lin Xiu heard this, he glanced at his brother and saw that his face was obviously much rosier than before. He also knew that Cheng Yan took good care of him.
"Amo, you look a little pale. I have some ginseng and other things here. How about I give you some when I come over?" An Jinyuan said a little worriedly.
"No need. If you replenish it any more, it will be too much." Lin Mo shook his head.
"Just take your time to recover. You can't rush your health." Lin Xiu heard this and began to remind him. He was worried that his brother might eat too much in order to recover quickly.
"I know. Cheng Yan has always said this." Lin Mo nodded and smiled.
After lunch, Lin Xiu left first. After playing all day this morning, Cheng Yan also asked Lin Mo to go back to his room to rest.
After that, Lin Mo did not go out to play again. He stayed in the study with Cheng Yan every day to read books. Cheng Yan read military books and replied to letters, while Lin Mo leaned beside him to read some idle books.
Occasionally, when Cheng Yan was going to the palace, Lin Mo would stay with his second brother and make him some tea with spiritual spring water from time to time. Lin Xiu had been reading a lot recently. If Yu Yange hadn't asked him to go to the teahouse to chat with other students every once in a while, Lin Mo thought his second brother could read for a whole day.
An Jinyuan had been coming to the palace more often recently, and she usually came before lunch, and sometimes she would pester him to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Fortunately, it was spring, and many flowers were in bloom, and Lin Mo hadn't gotten tired of them yet.
What concerned Lin Mo was that he hadn't heard from Su Qingran for a long time. But before he could ponder it, Lin Mo was shocked by another piece of information brought back by Cheng Yan.
His Majesty the Emperor is going to marry a husband, two months after he and Cheng Yan get married. The Emperor's marriage can be said to be a major event for the country, so it naturally takes a lot of time to prepare.
However, after learning that His Majesty wanted to marry a boy as his husband, none of the ministers in the court agreed. The reason was that the boy's chance of getting pregnant was too low, and they also knew that His Majesty would definitely not take concubines in the future.
If this is the case, when will the royal heir be born?
It was impossible for the ministers to compromise on this matter. Moreover, the boy's background was unknown. How could they be confident that he would become the heir of a country?
He spoke so righteously, but who knew why the ministers in the court opposed it? They just wanted their daughter to enter the palace and become a concubine in the emperor's harem.
However, the ministers thought that His Majesty had not been interested in women since he ascended the throne, and had focused on state affairs. But unexpectedly, His Majesty caught them off guard. Could His Majesty also be like the late emperor?
However, the ministers' obstruction did not affect An Chenglin. He knew their reactions long before he announced the enthronement of the emperor to the world.
"Your Majesty wants to enthrone an imperial husband? Which brother will he be?" Lin Mo asked puzzledly.
Although An Jinyuan had mentioned to him before in the peach blossom forest in the western suburbs that his brother seemed to have someone he liked, Lin Mo never expected that within less than a month, His Majesty would announce the appointment of a royal husband.
"I'm not sure, I haven't met him yet. But judging from my brother's attitude, he should like that guy very much." Cheng Yan pulled the man onto his lap and hugged him.
“I haven’t even seen you…” Lin Mo was confused. Logically, shouldn’t the two brothers be the first to know about it?
Cheng Yan had no idea, and A Yuan was just guessing. Could it be that the person had such a mysterious identity that the emperor didn't want others to know?
"Go to the palace tonight and there will be a family dinner. You will know then." Cheng Yan fed him a piece of red date cake and said.
"Hmm...family dinner?" Lin Mo opened his mouth and took a small bite, then tilted his head to look at him with some confusion in his eyes.
"It's just a temporary family dinner, just a few of us." If there are more people, it's not a family dinner. The three brothers are a family, plus their respective husbands.
"Are you going to stay in the palace tonight?" Lin Mo's eyes lit up. Living in the palace was a novel experience for him.
"Yes, there is my bedroom in the palace." Cheng Yan nodded. Originally, I wanted to come back early. Since Momo wanted to stay in the palace for one night, then let's stay.
In the evening, when the sun was halfway down, Lin Mo changed his clothes and went into the palace with Cheng Yan. It had been a while since the last time he went into the palace, and there were some changes in the palace.
The flower beds that can be seen everywhere beside the road are full of flowers, some are bright red, and some are dotted with white. Green grass has also sprouted on the cobblestone path, and it feels soft when you step on it. Carp have also begun to swim in the rockery lake that we passed by.
Compared with the flowers in the palace, the flowers in the imperial palace were obviously more spectacular, and Lin Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Like it? How about planting them all over the mansion when you get back?" Cheng Yan held his hand and walked slowly.
“What a waste of time! What if it attracts mosquitoes in the summer? It just looks a little novel.” Lin Mo retracted his gaze and smiled helplessly.
"Didn't you like to plant various plants around your house in Daling Village?"
"It's just to plant some. It can help to cool down the courtyard in the summer. There are already enough plants in the palace. There's no need to plant more."
When they arrived at the place, it was already dark. After entering, Lin Mo saw a strange guy sitting next to An Chenglin. He looked a little small, sitting on a high chair with his feet off the ground.
His legs were shaking and his eyes were pure, making him look like a young boy who was ignorant of the world.
Seeing someone coming in, Lingyi stopped swinging his legs and sat down obediently. An Chenglin, who was sitting next to him, saw his series of actions and looked a little helpless.
"Fifth brother, Amo." An Jinyuan, who was sitting next to them, greeted them both.
Lin Mo smiled at him and walked to the other side with Cheng Yan.
However, what made Lin Mo a little strange was that the boy seemed to have been staring at him. When he looked over, he actually smiled at him. Didn't he feel embarrassed to be caught?
It was called a family dinner, but it was just a meal for them to have together and chat for a while. Lin Mo was not a talkative person, except in front of Cheng Yan and his family, so he didn't say anything, just listened to them and spoke from time to time.
After hearing the rest, Lin Mo almost knew the basic information of the young man.
His name was Lin Lingyi, which was the same surname as his. His background and household registration were also mentioned, but Lin Mo was not sure whether it was true.
When dinner was almost over, Lin Mo wanted to go with Cheng Yan to digest the food and then take a hot spring bath, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Lin Lingyi.
"I want to talk to Amo alone for a while, is that okay?" Lingyi looked at Lin Mo and said with blinking eyes.
"What do you want to talk about alone?" An Chenglin pulled his hand over and wiped the oil off his hands.
"Oh, it's a secret. It won't last too long, just a moment. I have something to ask Amo." Lingyi puffed up her cheeks and said coquettishly.
"Then go ask Amo yourself. I can't make the decision." An Chenglin poked his puffy cheek and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, let's go to the side hall. It's a good opportunity for the three brothers to chat for a while." Lin Mo said with a smile. When he stood up, he patted Cheng Yan's hand, telling him not to worry.
Lin Mo followed Lingyi to the side hall, feeling somewhat confused. This was the first time they met. What did Lingyi want to say to him alone?
"Okay, there's no one here anymore, and no one will know what we talked about..." Lingyi turned around, looked at him and smiled.
But before he could finish, Lin Mo's eyes became alert and he took a few steps back. "What do you mean by that?"
What Lingyi said sounded a bit ambiguous, and Lin Mo couldn't help but overthink it.
"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you." Lingyi saw the vigilance in his eyes and said anxiously.
"If you have anything to say, just say it now. I'm going back after that." The vigilance in Lin Mo's eyes did not disappear.
"Okay, I just want to ask, are you Lin Mo from the end of the world?"
"!!!"
