On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The casino is closer to the back door of the palace.

So Lin Zhen took Ergou and Han Zhong and strolled through the city on their way home.

Hou Chun is still keeping vigil for his mother and hasn't come back yet.

In fact, according to the status of the prince, he is generally not allowed to go home through the back door. This is the rule.

But what Lin Zhen cares least about are the rules.

Instead of going through the back door, he walked an extra 15 miles to Mingdefang for no reason, and then walked from the main gate to the backyard which was only half a mile away from the back door.

Isn't this just boring?

Unexpectedly, when he just returned to the back door, he saw a girl going in.

The girl's profile looks familiar. She is wearing a pink long dress and looks petite and cute.

Lin Zhen thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember who it was, so he asked the two men behind him.

"Did you see the girl who just came in?"

"What's wrong, Prince? No."

"Any questions?"

The funeral for Hou Chun's mother changed Han Zhong's attitude towards Lin Zhen slightly.

Of course, it's just a little bit.

Lin Zhen shook his head: "No, I just feel very familiar."

Ergou said, "Your Highness, you're worrying too much. There are at least eighty maids in this mansion, if not a hundred. How can you remember them all?"

"That makes sense. Okay, let's go home."

The man guarding the back door was holding a coin of silver between his teeth. Seeing Lin Zhen coming, he quickly pocketed the silver and said with a big smile, "Prince, you're back."

"Little punk, who gave you the money?" Lin Zhen was very curious.

It's amazing that a gatekeeper can chew on a large piece of silver.

Why doesn’t my friend who works as a security guard get this treatment?

"Hehehe, I really can't escape the prince's eyes." Sanbengzi took out the silver with his saliva on it from his arms.

Lin Zhen wouldn't take his money, he was just curious.

Then Sanbengzi said mysteriously, "To be honest, my lord, this is what Miss Xiaocui just gave to me."

"Xiao Cui? Why did she give you money?" Lin Zhen felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It's not anger, nor is it calm, I just want to know what's going on.

Xiao Cui is Liu Shuyao's personal maid and her childhood playmate. She was brought from the Liu family by Liu Shuyao.

Lin Zhen had never paid attention to this woman because there was not much description of her in the original book. He only knew that she was a caged bird that Gu Beichen had collected.

The reason why Gu Beichen liked her with her beauty was entirely because of Liu Shuyao.

Sanbengzi looked at Ergou and Han Zhong, and Lin Zhen said, "You two should go back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the two men left, Sanbengzi looked around to make sure there was no one around before he dared to speak.

"Your Highness, you don't know. This morning, Gu Beichen came to pick up Miss Xiao Cui, and just now, Gu Beichen personally brought her back. When Miss Xiao Cui got off the carriage, Gu Beichen held her hand tightly, and the two of them talked for a cup of tea in the carriage. Maybe Xiao Cui saw me, so she gave me some money and asked me not to spread the news."

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his anger shot straight to his forehead like a monkey soaring into the sky.

Unable to play with Liu Shuyao, he began to have bad thoughts about the maid around Liu Shuyao.

Gu Beichen, ah Gu Beichen...

Good for you.

In that case, let me taste the saltiness for you first.

"I understand. You stay and have some wine, Yinzi."

"Thank you, Prince! Thank you, Prince!" Sanbengzi kowtowed repeatedly, and finally pocketed the silver happily.

......

Lin Zhen returned to the backyard with a gloomy face and saw a beautiful woman sitting under the pavilion in the courtyard.

The beauty was writing with a brush. Her movements were clumsy, her technique stiff, yet she always remembered to keep her back straight. Her long hair fell to her shoulders, swaying gently with the rustling of the wind through the pear trees.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen felt a little relieved.

Sure enough, when seeing beautiful scenery, even the most violent heart can calm down.

So I still have to marry a few more wives.

"Huanbi."

"Prince!" Huanbi looked up with a surprised tone, and her beautiful eyes could not hold anything else except Lin Zhen.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and came over with small steps to bow: "My Lord, you are back."

"Well, what is this for?"

"Um...I want to learn a few words..." Huanbi was still a little embarrassed, and quickly assured: "I promise I won't delay my work!"

"Learning is a good thing. From now on, try to let others handle the affairs of the inner courtyard, and you can focus on your studies."

"No, no, no, I'll let this servant clean up the inner courtyard myself. I wouldn't trust someone else."

"It's up to you." Lin Zhen didn't care much about it.

Girls in Daqian usually cannot read and write, and Lin Zhen is not as great as Watt who deliberately invented a steam engine to improve the social status of women.

If you want to learn, learn; if you don’t want to learn, don’t learn. Just follow your heart. However, Lin Zhen found that the ancients still loved learning, regardless of gender.

Because in this era, reading can really change your destiny.

This bug was not fixed until the 21st century.

Lin Zhen was still thinking about Xiao Cui, so he asked, "Has Liu Shuyao been here all this time?"

"Well, Madam hasn't left the wing all day."

"What about Xiao Cui?"

"Miss Xiao Cui went out this morning, came back later, and then went out again. I just heard Tang San calling out, so I guess she will come back."

Tang San is a vicious dog in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Lin Zhen nodded: "Let Xiao Cui come to the wing room."

"Yes, Prince, are you eating?"

"Wait until I finish eating Xiao Cui before eating."

"Ah? Prince, it's wrong to eat people!" The words "eating melon" were written all over Huanbi's face. Lin Zhen raised his hand angrily.

"Little girl, you deserve a beating!"

"Oh! Hehehe!" Huanbi ran away laughing.

Lin Zhen stood there and smiled unconsciously.

......

Opening the door of the wing room, Lin Zhen stepped in and saw Liu Shuyao lying on the bed with a look of despair, her toes resting lightly on the edge of the bed and her eyes dull.

Seeing Lin Zhen come in, she stood up and sat on the edge of the bed with a dull expression.

Lin Zhen sat on a chair in the middle hall and said to Liu Shuyao in the bedroom, "Why, do you hold a grudge against me because I didn't let you secretly meet Gu Beichen?"

Liu Shuyao shook her head and said, "I dare not."

"It's best if you don't dare. Liu Shuyao, I advise you to stick to your duties as the wife of the royal palace, otherwise you will have to live like this from now on."

"Lin...husband, I'm a little hungry. Can we go out to eat?"

"Don't worry, you'll have enough melon to eat soon."

"Eating melon?"

Liu Shuyao didn't understand what this meant, but as Xiao Cui walked into the room, she had some idea of ​​what was going on.

Xiao Cui bowed to Lin Zhen and said, "Prince."

His attitude was very perfunctory and he was obviously unwilling to talk more with Lin Zhen.

Seeing that she was about to walk towards Liu Shuyao, Lin Zhen slammed the table.

"Bang! Who allowed you to go there?"

"I..." Xiao Cui stammered guiltily, and Liu Shuyao quickly pushed her away.

"Hurry up and go over there! Don't make the prince angry."

"Yes..."

Xiao Cui came over, and Lin Zhen called out again, "Huanbi!"

"Sir."

"Close the door to this room and lock it."

"Yes."

Huanbi took a copper lock and closed and locked the door of Liu Shuyao's bedroom. At the same time, Lin Zhen quickly grabbed Xiao Cui's wrist and said with a sinister look, "You like Gu Beichen, right?"

"Okay, I'll try it for him today."
