Chapter 14 Don’t blame me
When Lin Baoer woke up the next day, she found that she was being washed and combed by Shen Xuelan. When she looked in the bronze mirror, the appearance of the little beauty was imprinted in her eyes, which made Lin Baoer very happy.
Hehe...
Lin Baoer was still staring at the bronze mirror and grinning, not even noticing that her saliva was flowing out.
Shen Xuelan wiped her carefully, and a trace of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes. She looked at Lin Qiming: "Husband, do you have to go?"
Today is the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which is held once a year in Yanjing City. Almost all dignitaries and royal relatives will go to Baichun Garden for a gathering. Because it is hosted by the queen, no one dares to disobey.
However, despite this, the Hundred Flowers Banquet has become a place where the major factions secretly compete with each other over the years, and undercurrents of forming cliques often occur.
And yesterday, something like that happened again. Shen Xuelan was afraid that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion would retaliate or do something bad to them again.
"There is no way." Lin Qiming sighed, "It's difficult to disobey the emperor's order!"
"But this is also a good opportunity."
"Father is right!" At this time, a figure walked out of the door, a long robe fluttering in the wind, handsome and handsome, with a bright and beautiful face.
Lin Zhiyu teased Lin Baoer for a while before saying solemnly: "After our investigation yesterday, the Prime Minister did embezzle and buy and sell official positions. If it is allowed to continue, it will definitely harm our Shangshu Mansion."
"I was worried that I couldn't find a chance to discuss this with the prince. This Hundred Flowers Banquet came at the right time."
"But..." Shen Xuelan hesitated, "I'm a little worried..."
This time, you can bring your family to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. She is not worried about herself, but she is afraid that Baoer might get into trouble. After all, these few times are enough to show that the Prime Minister's family is vicious. I'm afraid I don't know what other plans are waiting for them!
After hearing this, Lin Baoer thought about it. Hundred Flowers Banquet... Hundred Flowers Banquet...
Suddenly, her eyes widened. Wasn't that when the prince was assassinated? !
Because the Shangshu Mansion fell into Shen Ruyu's trap at that time, Lin Zhiyu drank to drown his sorrows and took the opportunity to be led by the prime minister. When the prince was assassinated, the Shangshu Mansion became a scapegoat.
Although the injustice was cleared later, it was too late. The power of the Lin Mansion was completely disintegrated and swallowed by the prime minister and the third prince, and the family was broken up in the end.
This matter is definitely crucial to reversing the outcome of the Lin Mansion!
Thinking of this, Lin Baoer became anxious and babbled a lot.
But when she spoke like this, no one could understand her.
Seeing her red face and thick neck, Shen Xuelan thought she was hungry and quickly asked someone to get milk.
Lin Zhiyu and Lin Qiming looked at each other, hiding the brilliance in their eyes.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely protect you and your mother." Lin Qiming comforted her, and Lin Qiyu nodded in response, "I think with so many people, they may not act rashly."
...
When they arrived at Baichun Garden, it was already crowded with people. Various carriages were parked outside the garden, including the carriages of the current Crown Prince Song Mo and the Third Prince Song Chu. In Baichun
Garden, not only are hundreds of flowers blooming, but there is also a huge clear lake in the middle, the sky and the lake are connected in a line, the spring water is green, and if you meet a talented writer, he might be able to write two poems on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Lin Baoer was a little excited.
Wow! Is this an ancient banquet? So luxurious!
They were arranged to sit on the west side, not far from the princes, and on the other side were the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Dad, I'll go say hello to the Crown Prince first." Lin Zhiyu didn't even glance at that side, and bowed to Lin Qiming before going to the Crown Prince Song Mo.
Shen Ruyu saw this, glared at him hatefully, then quietly pulled the Prime Minister's clothes and said a few words, then stood up and went to the third prince Song Chu.
Lin Ruqian ran off to have fun with his friends without a care in the world, while Lin Mobai stayed by Shen Xuelan and Lin Baoer's side dutifully, without moving a bit.
"Lord Lin, yesterday was all a misunderstanding. I believed the slander of a villain and misunderstood Lord Lin. Today is the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I wonder if Lord Lin can give me a chance to make amends?" The Prime Minister came over with a smile.
With so many dignitaries here, Lin Qiming couldn't turn his face away on the spot even if he didn't want to. He could only raise his glass and toast with a fake smile.
"Prime Minister, you are too serious. It's just the children's nonsense. It's not a crime."
Lin Qiming was playing along with him here, while Lin Baoer was nestled in Shen Xuelan's arms, licking the grapes handed to her by Lin Mobai, and staring at the Prime Minister nervously.
[That shouldn't be the case... This old bitch definitely has bad intentions. She is probably thinking about how to pin the serious crime of assassinating the prince on the Lin family!]
Lin Mobai's hand paused, and his eyes suddenly became deep.
Shen Xuelan's hand also tightened, and her red lips were about to open. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, there was a noisy sound next to her, attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh no! There is an assassin in Baichun Garden! The prince was assassinated and disappeared!"
"What?!"
Everyone screamed.
Hearing this, Lin Qiming looked towards the position where the prince was just now, frowned, and found that both Prince Song Mo and Lin Zhiyu were missing!
"What are you still standing there for! Go find him quickly! If something happens to the prince, you can forget about getting your heads on this matter!" The prime minister cursed and threw the wine glass on the head of the person who passed the message, his face anxious and angry.
For a moment, the people of Baichun Garden were in panic and chaos.
[Oh no! Something happened to my eldest brother and the prince! ] Lin Baoer was a little anxious, and she stretched out her hand to pat Shen Xuelan's hand randomly, babbling.
[If someone slanders that my eldest brother assassinated the prince, then the whole Lin family will be finished! ]
Lin Mobai was anxious after hearing this, "Dad! I'll go find my eldest brother!"
Lin Qiming had been immersed in the court for many years, so he knew what today's Hongmen Banquet was about. He glanced at the prime minister's anxious look and turned cold, "You stay here to protect your mother, I'll go!"
[Daddy, daddy! Take me with you! Otherwise you will be in danger too! 】
Shen Xuelan's heart tightened, and she stuffed Lin Bao'er into Lin Qiming's arms, "Take Bao'er with you."
She hadn't finished her words, but Bao'er had saved them from danger several times before, so Shen Xuelan now believed in her precious daughter very much, and also believed that Lin Qiming understood the reason.
"You must protect her well."
Facing his wife's admonition, Lin Qiming nodded solemnly, and in an instant, the figure disappeared in the front garden.
[Ding! Mission started! Save the prince, and the mission completion reward is 150 points! ]
