Back Off, Let Me Come

"Father gets along well with everyone."

When the girl in red said this, her eyes seemed to have a strange color, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if that little wave was just an illusion after Lin Feng was distracted for a short time. Because he keenly caught the slight malice in the girl's words, Lin Feng remained silent about this.

No matter how he responded, it would be inappropriate.

Unlike the "deep love between the master and Wu Xian, which was nine times true and one time false", the friendship between the master and Zhai Le in their youth was at least nine times true and one time false. The master, the person involved, recognized this friendship, and occasionally mentioned it with a smile on his lips. Lin Feng didn't know what Zhai Le's attitude was, but from the point of view that there was no conflict of interest between their identities at that time, Zhai Le should also be sincere to the master.

Only when both are sincere and have the same temperament can they get along well.

The girl in red said that Zhai Le got along well with everyone, which not only fundamentally denied this friendship, but also gave people a feeling that Zhai Le was deep-minded and the master was innocent and simple. Or, she just thought too much, and the girl in red didn't mean that? Regardless of whether there is such a thing or not, Lin Feng did not respond to this question: "When Lord Zhai was young, he was unrestrained and willful. Who can not like such a temperament?"

Compared to a greasy, sinister, and poisonous snake that can brew venom at any time, people of course prefer passionate, lively and cheerful big dogs. Dogs that are not afraid of strangers can chat with anyone they see. This is the dog's problem, not the human's.

She murmured: "Unrestrained? Willful?"

Lin Feng said lightly: "It was true when he was young. Even cloth clothes and straw sandals could not hide his romanticism. Who can not like a young man full of enthusiasm and heroic spirit? But now the world has changed, and the status is different after all. Back then, I was alone and could ride thousands of miles alone for the word loyalty and righteousness. Now I have the heavy responsibility of my family and country, so I should restrain myself a little."

Man is to the world as an ant is to the mountains and seas.

Mountains and seas cannot withstand the changes of time, let alone people?

The girl in red asked back: "Is Lord Shen like this too?"

Lin Feng said: "Of course."

"The lady's words are much more pleasant than the master's..." The girl in red snorted and laughed, and approached Lin Feng, revealing a bit of the cuteness that is unique to this age. "I and the lady hit it off at first sight, and I feel reluctant to leave when I think of the lady leaving... Lady, don't change your face in a hurry, I said this in my personal capacity, not as someone's daughter, or as the crown prince of any country."

Private identity, not involving the interests of the family and the country.

I simply like Lin Feng very much.

Lin Feng naturally would not easily believe the emotional card played by the other party, but he did not mind saying a few nice words that the other party liked to hear: "It is Feng's fortune to be liked by His Highness."

Zhai Le's education method is still reliable. As long as it does not go astray, the girl in red will also be a remarkable heir.

This is the general judgment made by Lin Feng on the girl in red.

Although the girl in red is the crown prince, she is not completely ignorant of farming. She is even very familiar with the trivialities of people's livelihood, from the process of planting crops to the price of harvesting, from the judgment of the quality of grain varieties to the basic market price. She knows what families with different incomes should look like and understands the sufferings of the people... Before Lin Feng met her, he was still worried that the girl in red would be the kind of person who would rather eat meat than eat meat.

As the saying goes, "A red man is red when he is near a red man, and a black man is black when he is near a black man." Growing up with Shen Tang, Lin Feng also learned the latter's habit of not stingyly praising. Whether it was her subordinate or a minor official who only met once, Lin Feng would habitually praise even the smallest merit.

He also subconsciously brought this to the girl in red.

After praising, he realized that he was overstepping his bounds. The other party must have heard similar words from childhood to adulthood.

The girl in red looked at her in surprise, with a slightly red cheek.

"It's not as good as what the lady said."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Partial listening leads to ignorance, while listening to both sides leads to enlightenment. It's easy to say, but how difficult it is to do it? Your Highness can achieve such achievements at such a young age. Of course, it is inseparable from the advice and teaching of the left and right, but more importantly, it is because of your own excellence."

The girl in red sighed when she heard this.

Her face, which was still a little childish, showed a little trance.

Lin Feng did not continue to ask.

From today's contact, she was sure that the girl in red had something on her mind and there was a little conflict between her and Zhai Le, but these were foreign affairs and private affairs. As an outsider, it would be better for her not to get involved. Lin Feng just observed the other party quietly.

Observe for what?

Of course, it is to gain some experience.

When the master has an heir in the future, he can avoid detours in education. The prince and the princess are only one word apart, but the problems and confusions they face are different. The girl in red is probably the first female heir who was truly trained as an heir, holding power, and growing up as a candidate for the king. There are many challenges for her, so it is always right to learn more and observe more.

Why is Lin Feng so sure?

Because she found that the officials around the girl in red are not simple.

From these officials, we can also see how determined Zhai Le is to this successor, and he does not consider the second candidate at all.

[… Although Zhai Xiaofang succeeded to the throne early, women in Quguo were able to practice later than in China. The officials of the Princess Wang’s Princess Mansion include not only important civil and military officials in the court, but also female officials and female relatives who have close relations with these important officials... There are no ordinary people... How can the four words "carefully selected" be summarized? ] There are quite a few female officials accompanying this time. Lin Feng swept his eyes across their waists. They are basically scholars of literature and literature. Judging from their clothes and conversation, they can be inferred that they are from a noble family.

It’s just that the female guards are limited by the time of practice, and their aura is not very strong, but their existence shows that Zhai Le is training these people as his daughter’s future team. If he is unfortunate enough to have an accident, this team can be seamlessly connected.

Lin Feng silently jotted down the key points in his mind.

The female officers are much older than the girl in red.

The oldest one is on par with Lin Feng.

Judging from his position, words, deeds and rank, he should be the one the girl in red trusts the most. Catching Lin Feng's gaze, she bowed her hands and bowed, and thanked him: "...Thank you so much, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Lin Feng glanced at the last line of the warehousing amount.

I mentally added, subtracted and subtracted, and finally put a check mark on the account.

Today's task was successfully completed.

"Kaijie? Where do you start talking about this?"

The female officer said: "His Royal Highness has been feeling depressed recently. After having a heart-to-heart talk with the female gentleman, he can finally see some smiles on his face."

Lin Feng did not take the credit.

He just said: "This is because His Highness has a clear mind."

I decided to do it myself, but it wasn't her who persuaded me to do it.

Knowing that Lin Feng was cautious, the female officer did not continue the topic, but asked someone to bring the things up. I saw two plates of hot, white, fat rice balls on a food table. There were some salty toppings inside the rice balls, as well as julienned and refreshing cucumbers.

Female official: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there would be a bumper harvest in one day. Your Highness just got up and rushed to the fields to harvest a small half acre, and had people wash and cook the chaff. There was too much. I want to use it so that I can have a taste of my craftsmanship.”

The time is too short to grind it, so I just add the ingredients and knead it into a ball. I don’t have any cooking skills, so it’s not that delicious, but it’s also not that good. Lin Feng thought so at first, until she took a bite and tasted the salty smell.

"What's this?"

She almost spit it out.

There is a small ball of smooth and soft stuff in the middle of the cucumber shreds and fish floss. The taste is difficult to describe in words, it is a little sour and a little pungent. Then I picked up another one and took a bite. This rice ball didn't have the strange smell, but it had small dried fish inside.

It's still a small dried fish with a great taste.

"...Ahem, the taste here in the southeast is too weird..."

It’s not poison or food spoilage, so there’s no reason to waste it. Lin Feng frowned, chewed and swallowed.

I thought it was the girl in red who was deliberately teasing me. I turned around and saw a group of girls standing on the field bank in the distance. Her hands were stained, her sleeves were rolled up, and her trouser legs were tied to the crook of her legs. She stood in the wind and chuckled as she came closer. The rice balls in the hands of the female officer.

Relying on his excellent eyesight, Lin Feng was convinced that the other party's rice balls and his own rice balls were made by the same person and had the same recipe.

Gee, what else could she complain about?

Lin Feng could only eat the rest with a wry smile.

Fortunately, the new rice is soft, glutinous and delicate, with a sweet aroma.

After eating the five rice balls on the plate, I gradually got used to the strange taste, but it was not completely unacceptable. Lin Feng enjoyed the coolness of the evening breeze, while in his mind he estimated the extent of the decline in grain production caused by the fertility of his fields. If he wants to deliver the goods as scheduled, he must either let Zhai Le allocate national resources to ensure the fertility of his fields, or change a batch of fields for cultivation. Now these fields will be almost useless after two or three more rounds of planting.

It will take a long time to restore fertility by ordinary means.

Lin Feng didn't want to cause Qu Guo to misunderstand, saying that she deliberately destroyed Qu Guo's farmland. During the cooperation between the two parties, it is still necessary to maintain a superficial harmony and minimize conflicts. She was lost in thought when she suddenly felt that the wind blowing on her face had weakened and was blocked by someone.

Oh, it's Gong Xiqiu who has been missing for several days.

The other party looked a little dazed, and his face was not as rosy as before.

If his usual expression was that others owed him five hundred taels, now even the dogs passing by owed him fifty thousand taels. Lin Feng glanced up and down and saw no bandage marks or smell of blood, so he guessed he was not injured. I guess it's a piece of cake?

"What's new? Try it?"

Lin Feng handed over the plate.

Gong Xiqiu picked up a ball and stuffed it into his mouth without looking. The next second he turned around and spat it out, his facial features twisted: "...Bah, what's the weird smell? Did you stuff a corpse in it, or was it poisoned?"

Lin Feng turned his fingers into a ball of flame and sent the poor rice balls back to the earth. He said with a smile: "Every grain of rice is hard work, don't waste it."

Gong Xiqiu ate the remaining half of the ball with a stinky face.

His assessment was: "Worth than swill."

Lin Feng: "..."

What a harsh comment.

She asked: "General, have you gained anything these days?"

Gongxi Qiuhan said with a face: "It's okay not to mention it, it's bad luck!"

Lin Feng thought for a while and handed him a warm rice cake, newly made in the kitchen, with some red bean paste in it. If it's not sweet enough, you can also dip it in some brown sugar. Gong Xiqiu took two bites of one and chewed it hard, as if the rice cake was his enemy.

He whispered: "...the seal is no longer there."

Lin Feng knew the past of the Gongxi clan, and also knew what Gongxi Qiu was investigating during his trip, so he had an ominous premonition when he heard these words.

"...Is it really that person?"

Is that the Chehou next to Zhai Xiaofang?

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. It's not just the sealed person who disappeared, but also the person who suppressed him... the seal itself..." Gong Xiqiu paused suspiciously for a long time when he said this, and frowned, "...I It’s because I’m worried about the appearance of a traitor…”

Lin Feng was shocked: "How is this possible?"

"...I hope not."

"Did you encounter any obstacles when you went to investigate?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "Well, I was ambushed."

The two sides only fought briefly and did not fight to the death, so the specific cultivation level and trump card of the ambusher were not clear. Gong Xiqiu didn't want to make any noise, and the other party was worried about something and was deliberately restraining himself.

Lin Feng's mood was visibly lowered.

Gong Xichou dared to attack directly and was able to retreat unscathed, which means that the opponent's strength is not weak. Could this person be Che Hou beside Zhai Le? Lin Feng said: "I will go to discuss the national destiny and fertility with Lord Zhai tomorrow. Will you go too?"

See if the aura is the same person?

Gong Xichou said: "Yes."

As he said, he pointed to the girl in red and asked: "Who is she?"

Lin Feng looked in the direction she pointed, and happened to see the girl in red squinting her peach blossom eyes slightly, laughing and talking to the female official. The others also had different expressions, and they were extremely beautiful. I have to say that it was a beautiful scene that could be painted.

"Lord Zhai's daughter, the princess of Quguo."

Gong Xichou said briefly: "Really?"

"What can be fake about this?"

Gong Xichou turned his head and muttered something there.

"...You can't even raise a daughter, you're useless."

Lin Feng tilted his head, puzzled: "Huh?"

Gong Xichou finished seven or eight rice cakes by himself, and the Red Bean Special Edition didn't have any left.Lin Feng: "...You didn't see...Oh, you didn't see...How old is his daughter?"

"...In virtual years...Twelve or thirteen?"

The calculation of age in the southeast is quite different from that in the northwest.

"...At this age, and a warrior...Well, it's actually about the same." Gong Xichou didn't know what he was estimating, but Lin Feng's scalp tingled after hearing a few words, "...Thinking back then, Tang Guo's useless son was..."

"You - be careful with your words!"

Lin Feng subconsciously interrupted Gong Xichou's words.

He moved his eyes away from the girl in red, opened and closed his mouth several times, and said after a long while: "Impossible, she - although we didn't have much contact, we can see that she is like her father, and she is not a person who will suffer losses in silence. Tell me, who dares to touch her?"

Not to mention that the daring person will die without a burial place, even the earthworms next to the Nine Clans will be chopped vertically by Zhai Le!

Gong Xichou said in surprise: "You misunderstood."

How could it be what Lin Feng thought?

"Zhai Xiaofang himself is a brave warrior who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. You can tell whether the person close to him has a perfect body by observing his aura..." Gong Xichou's words made Lin Feng slightly relieved, and the next second he raised it again, "No one can touch her."

Lin Feng pondered this and hesitated for a while.

"Are you... saying something else?"

"Yes, no one can touch her."

Lin Feng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and chose to end the topic.

Gong Xichou was not surprised: "Mama Lin would also be surprised by such a thing? The most common thing among politicians is the transaction of money, power and sex. I saw everything around Tang Guo back then."

Should we say that Kangguo's administration is clean and honest? Or is the trick hidden deep? Or is it that Mama and Chu Wuhui protected her too well?
