Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi hummed, but secretly complained in his heart, Grandpa Wang... those who didn't know thought he was a grandfather named Wang, commonly known as Lao Wang next door?

Although he has a gentle and generous personality, he is not necessarily so. How can he be an easy person to become the king of a country?

If he was really a good man, the position of the county king of Hongshang County might have already fallen into the hands of the other four major families.

Apart from anything else, the Feng family must be eyeing him and be ready to ascend to the position of king at any time.

"Sister Wu, Sister Xue, you take people to find an inn to rest first, and we will make arrangements after I come back from the palace!"

Lin Yi had no objection to entering the palace to see the prince, so he made arrangements for Wu Yucao and others first. They would definitely not be able to go in with him.

Sima Yunqi didn't wait for Wu Yucao to agree, and interrupted directly: "Which inn should we stay in? We have already gone home, so why should we let everyone live outside? Without saying anything, you take them back to the palace first and see the young prince's yard. Have you packed everything up? Once that’s done, let them live over there.”

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Needless to say, he was one of Sima Yunqi's trusted generals. Sending him to arrange arrangements for Wu Yucao and others was enough to show that he valued Wu Yucao and others!

"Thank you father!"

Lin Yi quickly thanked them. Wu Yucao and others would definitely be safer staying in the palace than in an inn.

Although the previous half-way attack and killing incident has passed, this matter is definitely not over. If Wu Yucao and others are targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it will be somewhat bad!

After entering the palace, there is nothing to worry about. In the royal capital of Hongshang County, who is so crazy as to storm the second prince's palace?

Naturally, Wu Yucao and others had no objection. After thanking Sima Yunqi, they followed without words to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The remaining people protected Sima Yunqi and his party, and followed the two palace guards towards the palace.

When we arrived at the palace, the road was smooth, and all the guards who passed by would salute respectfully, which shows Sima Yunqi's status in the palace.

"Ahead is the Qiushi Hall. My father likes to summon members of the royal family there. You don't need to be too formal there. They are all from the Sima family, so there aren't many rules."

Sima Yunqi introduced the palace to Lin Yi all the way. When entering the palace, his guards stayed at the palace gate, and the two guards who brought them did not follow.

The palace can also be regarded as Sima Yunqi's home, so he didn't need anyone to guide him. The family of three strolled over by themselves.

Lin Yi raised his eyes and looked at the Qiushi Hall not far away. His consciousness swept through it and found that there were many people inside, all of them young men and women. Only the main seat was an old man.

This old man should be Sima Zhengxin, the prince of Hongshang County!

According to what Sima Yunqi said, are those young men and women all descendants of the Sima family?

Is this to welcome Sima Zhongda back?

With thoughts swirling in their minds, Lin Yi, Sima Yunqi and his wife walked into Qiushi Hall together.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

As soon as Sima Yunqi and his wife entered the Qiushi Hall, they straightened their manners, walked slowly to the middle of the hall, clasped their fists and bowed in salute.

On the way here, they had already told Lin Yi that when members of the royal family enter the palace to pay homage to the prince, they do not need to kneel down, as long as they salute normally.

Lin Yi was quite satisfied with this. If he had to kneel down every now and then, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

Following Sima Yunqi and his wife, they saluted together. Before it was over, Sima Zhengxin burst out laughing and said no more.

"My dear Zhongda, you have finally been found! Come here and give me a good look. After all these years, you were only a little older at that time, but now you are already a good and heroic man!"

Sima Zhengxin was very happy and motioned Lin Yi to come forward.

Lin Yi didn't care, he just went.

Walking in front of Sima Zhengxin, Sima Zhengxin pulled Lin Yi and asked Lin Yi to sit down next to him.

Lin Yi didn't think this action was anything. A grandfather saw his long-lost grandson sitting down and chatting with him. Is it strange?

But many of the young people below have slightly changed their expressions.

Although Qiushi Hall is not a place where political affairs are officially handled, the throne Sima Zhengxin sits on is not the exclusive throne for the prince.

However, the meaning is still extraordinary. Sitting with the prince... How many people in the entire Hongshang Kingdom have received this honor?

When these princes grow up, I'm afraid they won't have such an opportunity, right?

"Good! Good boy! He is really a good man of our Sima family!"

Sima Zhengxin was very pleased with Lin Yi. He looked at Lin Yi carefully, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became: "Zhongda boy, grandpa knew that you were coming back today, so he specially called all the young people of your generation in the capital to come over. You young people know each other."

"Of course, the people who can be here are all the outstanding young people of our Sima family, and there are also some mediocre people. It doesn't matter if you don't know them!"

Lin Yi glanced at the so-called outstanding young people below. The total number was about twenty, but there was no specific number, because in Lin Yi's eyes, these people were really not worth mentioning.

It's like walking and seeing a swarm of ants at your feet. No one bothers to count the number of ants.

I really have to count, it’s called being full and full, but having nothing to do!

"Your Majesty! It is a good thing that the second uncle Wang has found his long-lost son, but can anyone sneak into our Sima family? Shouldn't we first confirm whether this person is Brother Zhongda? ?”

There was a young man below with a look of displeasure on his face. He was the first to stand up and question Lin Yi's identity: "Brother Zhongda has been missing for twenty years. How can we trust one word and be sure that his identity is not a fake? After all, our royal family is the most important. As a member, you can never be too cautious!”

Sima Zhengxin frowned slightly. He thought Lin Yi was very pleasing to his eyes. He was his grandson, but what he said made sense!

If you find a fake grandson, it will be a joke. Will Hongshang County be handed over to a fake person in the future?

That's right, Sima Zhengxin's favorite candidate for crown prince is none other than the second prince, Sima Yunqi.

Before, it was because Sima Yunqi never gave birth to another son after losing Sima Zhongda, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Now that Sima Yunqi had found his long-lost son, the balance in Sima Zhengxin's heart began to tilt towards him.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it is necessary to find out whether the identity of Brother Zhongda is true. Otherwise, it will cause a joke in the future. Not only our Sima family will be criticized, but the entire Hongshang County will be embarrassed. !”

Another person stood up and questioned Lin Yi's identity.

Although there was no special expression on his face, there was a strong sense of ridicule in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yi.

A country boy who crawled out from nowhere wants to climb over them so easily and dominate them?

How could it be that simple?
