It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

Speaking of this, Liu Li was quite confident and told Lin Zhihe the history of the second prince with confidence.

It turned out that the second prince had been crowned king a long time ago, when he was only twelve years old, and Concubine Li was the only one favored by the emperor.

The emperor went to the harem seven or eight times a month, and every time he stayed in Concubine Li's palace, where he was the most prominent.

Who can resist such overwhelming grace?

Concubine Li first offended the Queen, and then seemed to have offended the Queen Mother, causing a lot of trouble.

Lin Zhihe waved his hand, signaling to stop, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by seeming to have offended the Queen Mother? Did she offend her?"

Liu Li frowned and began to recall, "At that time, I had just entered the palace and didn't know much about it. Only the old people in the palace knew the situation at that time."

"And then? What did Concubine Li do to win back the emperor's favor?"

"It was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year. Concubine Li was dancing in the bright moonlight in her white clothes as white as snow. Suddenly, many butterflies flew in from the sky and fluttered around Concubine Li."

"Is it that simple?" Lin Zhihe couldn't believe it.

"How can this be simple? This is a sign of good fortune..." Liu Li looked at Lin Zhihe in disbelief.

These are just the tricks left by Concubine Xiang. It’s a pity that you haven’t watched “My Fair Princess”.

What follows is the key point of the story. With the help of the poem Two Butterflies, Concubine Li successfully advanced to the next level and once again became a favorite concubine in the harem.

Cheng Wang was the king who was crowned that year, but he didn't even get the chance to be crowned.

It was precisely because King Cheng was crowned king so early that everyone speculated that the emperor intended to let him inherit the throne.

In addition, Prince Cheng was really hardworking and gave birth to the emperor's grandson very early. Taotao was as cute as a dough ball and was very much loved by the emperor.

It seems that King Cheng is honored because of his son.

Lin Zhihe shook his head, something was not right.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Liu Li reacted and looked at her.

"He has been crowned king and given fiefdoms, so why do you still think he has the best chance?"

Liu Li patiently explained: "It's said that he was granted a fiefdom, but in fact, the fiefdom is close to Kyoto, and the two places are closely related. Moreover, the emperor has not asked for Prince Cheng to return to his fiefdom for such a long time."

Oh, no wonder. It turns out there is a story behind this fief.

Granting the fiefdom in a place close to Kyoto was equivalent to handing over Kyoto's weak spot to King Cheng, and everyone's speculation about King Cheng was not unreasonable.

So, Lin Yingchen also saw this point and thought that becoming a king was more likely, so he indulged Lin Zhiqiang infinitely?

It makes sense when you think about it this way, but Lin Zhihe still feels like something is not right.

“I always feel a little awkward.”

"What's wrong?"

"I can't tell what's wrong with it." Lin Zhihe scratched his head. Anyway, it just felt awkward.

"Master? Master?" Ren Minbi asked tentatively outside. His voice was not loud, but his tone revealed some nervousness.

The emperor is back again?

Lin Zhihe and Liu Li looked at each other, and Liu Li hurriedly got up to open the door for Ren Minbi.

Ren Minbi was stronger this time than last time, but he also walked in hurriedly, "Master, the fifth prince is asking to see you outside the palace, you..."

Why not? He is her eldest son after all.

"Let him in." Lin Zhihe looked out the window hopelessly. He couldn't live like this anymore.

Her Vermilion Bird Palace was so crowded with people today that it was almost like a zoo.

Everyone really treats her like an animal.

The fifth prince walked in with a swagger, a smile on his face. There was a shallow curve on his face, like an unsuccessful dimple.

The guard who had pulled her out of the lake last time was following behind her, looking very serious.

"Son greets mother." The Fifth Prince still had a smile on his face. He knelt on the ground respectfully, but he did not lower his head. Instead, he raised it and observed Lin Zhihe's reaction.

When Lin Zhihe heard his mother's words, he got goosebumps.

The original owner was about six years older than the fifth prince. Although she was ten years older than the fifth prince, ten years old was far from being able to be a mother. What's more, her mental age was very young and completely immature.

It’s already good enough for a college student not to compete with a ten-year-old child for spicy strips, let alone be his “mother”.

Just be a mother. After all, this is not your first time being a mother in this world.

Lin Zhihe instantly became calm and looked at the fifth prince.

The fifth prince knelt very seriously and seemed to sincerely want to be her son, the only thing he lacked was a mother like her.

It was the first time that she looked at the Fifth Prince's appearance so carefully. Last time, she was so dizzy that she couldn't see anyone clearly.

The fifth prince has thick eyebrows and big eyes with sparkling eyes, and he has the aura of a prince.

He actually looks 70% like the emperor, just like a smaller version of Old Deng. Doesn't that mean he is Little Deng?

No wonder his bloodline was not suspected when Concubine Xi got into trouble. With his appearance, anyone who suspected it would have ill intentions.

Lin Zhihe couldn't help but laugh, and then she realized that Xiao Deng was still left on the ground by her, waiting for her pitifully.

"Get up, get up." Lin Zhihe's face showed annoyance, and his tone was full of self-blame.

Really good at pretending.

Last time at the lake, he was still a favored child of heaven, with a demeanor of "repaying evil with kindness" and "boundless love", but now he starts to act like a pitiful little thing. He is really interesting.

An idea came to Lin Zhihe's mind.

Could he...

"My son heard from my father that mother has been worried about trivial matters recently." The innocence on Xiao Deng's face disappeared, replaced by sadness, "Mother, please take care of yourself. Even if something big happens, mother still has her son."

Xiao Deng puffed out his chest to show that he could be relied upon.

The emperor's sons are all good Chinese actors, from the emperor himself to Prince Cheng and the fifth prince.

Not only is his acting great, but he also gets into the role so quickly and instantly puts himself into the role of his son.

He was so excited about acting that he didn't care at all whether he could continue the role or not.

Lin Zhihe subconsciously looked at Liu Li, but Liu Li just gave her a look.

Okay, I'll just have to force it.

She held her breath and forced a smile, "Of course, I feel relieved to have you by my side."

Just this one sentence gave Lin Zhihe goosebumps.

Oh my God, is there anyone who can save her?

I thought it was over, but the Fifth Prince was so addicted to acting that he knelt down beside Lin Zhihe's knees and looked at her with his big, clear eyes. "I know that my mother has suffered a lot of grievances. I have had a hard time during this period, but fortunately, we are reunited today and it is all over."

"Get up quickly." Seeing that Xiao Deng didn't move at all, Lin Zhihe waved to the guards behind him, "Hurry up and pull your prince up."

Lin Ping was very obedient. He walked to Lin Zhihe and helped the fifth prince up.

"Fifth Prince, I am very grateful that you saved me, and twice. I will do my best to do whatever I can." Lin Zhihe thought he had given his heart.

It's too difficult for her to play the role of "loving mother and filial son" in their relationship. They might as well speak frankly.

But the fifth prince didn't want to speak frankly.

He frowned, "What do you mean, mother? Did your son do something wrong?"
