Chapter 603 The Eight Wise Kings’ Women
Lin Yun nodded: "Then I also want to give the Eighth Prince a piece of advice. You don't have to take me lightly, but don't underestimate the current emperor!"

The Eight Wise Kings frowned and said nothing.

The fifth prince asked: "Will you tell the emperor about that?"

"Haha!" Lin Yun raised his head and laughed: "If I had said that, would you two still be sitting here drinking tea and chatting?"

The two princes secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yun continued: "To be honest, I don't want to meddle in other people's business! I don't want to get involved, but some people see me as a thorn in their side!"

Immediately, Lin Yun stood up, stared straight at Li Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "Fifth Prince, do you still remember what I said that night?"

The fifth prince snorted coldly and stopped talking.

At this time, a servant came over, looked at the Eight Wise Kings, and whispered: "Master, the banquet is ready!"

The Eight Wise King forced his face to smile and said: "Okay! Don't say those unpleasant things! Let's go have a drink! Lin Zhongtang, don't be stunned!"

Lin Yun nodded with a smile and said: "The Eighth Prince really does what he said! It seems that I am lucky tonight, and I can actually taste the prince's wine!"

"Haha! You are right, boy! There is a lot of good wine hidden in this prince's palace!"

With that said, he hugged Lin Yun and left. In the end, he did not forget to glare at the Fifth Prince.

In his opinion, the fifth prince is a fool and there are some things that cannot be said openly, but the fifth prince insists on saying it clearly to his face.

Soon, the two came to the hall and saw Ye Wanqing talking and laughing with a beautiful middle-aged woman.

Lin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Wanqing was safe and sound. It seemed that the Eight Wise Kings were still measured and did not do anything out of line.

He smiled and said: "Eighth Prince, could this be your wife?"

Ye Wanqing was afraid that Lin Yun said the wrong thing, so she quickly explained: "Ms. sir, this is indeed the eighth prince's wife, but she is still Meng Zhiyi, the daughter of Meng Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the Eight Wise Kings.

The Eight Wise Kings nodded and said, "Is it unexpected? Lin Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that the Eighth Prince is actually Meng Zhongtang's son-in-law! I was in court before, but I didn't notice it at all!"

"Hey, this is not a secret to begin with! This kind of marriage is quite common in the imperial court! But I and Zhiyi really love each other! Lin Zhongtang, don't make random guesses!"

Lin Yun scratched his head in embarrassment. He had just spoken ill of Meng Yuan while holding a gun and a stick. The fifth prince was so angry, but the eight wise princes did not react at all, which made him admire him very much.

If politics are not mentioned, the Eight Wise Kings are indeed very powerful people and have very charming personalities. Even Lin Yun admires them very much.

Lin Yun cupped his fists and said, "Lin Yun, Minister of the Ministry of War, has met the princess!"

Lin Yun was not afraid of this woman's father, Meng Yuan, but after all, she was married to the Eight Wise Kings, so he still had to give her some face, and it was not an exaggeration to call her Princess.

Meng Zhiyi nodded with a smile: "I have heard that Lin Zhongtang's name is so famous, but I didn't expect that Master Zhongtang is still so young!" Then she looked at Ye Wanqing beside her and said with a smile: "Wanqing, you are such a blessed woman!"

Ye Wanqing smiled sweetly and lowered her head shyly.

When she was invited to the palace, she was very upset at first, but fortunately, the Eight Wise Kings did not mess around and sent her directly to Meng Zhiyi. Both women were wives of powerful ministers, and there were many topics to talk about. But they also test each other and do things for their own men.

The Eight Sage King seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now and said with a smile: "Lin Yun, you don't know! How much Zhiyi has admired you since she learned about your glorious deeds in Fengyang County! It made me a little jealous! "

Meng Zhiyi blushed: "Lin Zhongtang is laughing!"

Lin Yun said in embarrassment: "Those are just paths and cannot be put on the stage! Don't put gold on your face, the Eight Wise Kings!" Meng Zhiyi said: "Lin Zhongtang, hurry up and take a seat!"

"That's right! Lin Zhongtang, apart from my father-in-law, you are the most powerful person to invite home! You're welcome, just like returning to your own home!"

When everyone sat down at the table, Lin Yun asked, "By the way, where is the fifth prince?"

"Hey, Fifth Brother has just recovered from a serious illness and can't drink, so I won't take him with me! Moreover, the only person I am entertaining today is Lin Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment. Did he guess wrong?
Did the Eight Wise Kings really just treat themselves to a drink?
Afterwards, everyone exchanged glasses, and the atmosphere was always good.

But at this moment, a guard came in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhongtang's subordinate Ma Ji is here. He is waiting outside the house. He said he has something important to report!"

As soon as he said these words, Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the Eight Wise Kings subconsciously. Seeing that he was always smiling, he couldn't figure out why.

But he knew that tonight's game couldn't be just about drinking.

Lin Yun had always had a plan and everything was under his control, but facing the Eight Wise Kings, he felt uncertain.

The Eight Wise Kings said with a smile: "Please come in directly, you are not an outsider!"

"Yes!"

After the guards left, the Eighth Sage King put down his chopsticks and said, "Lin Zhongtang, what's the emergency?"

Lin Yun raised his neck, drank all the wine in the glass, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know!"

Soon, Ma Ji walked in hurriedly wearing an official robe.

As soon as he saw Lin Yun and the Eight Sage Kings sitting at the table drinking, they quickly knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Ma Ji, has met the Eighth Prince, Lord Zhongtang!"

The Eight Wise Kings said with a smile: "Master Ma, there is no need to be polite! I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet! When did you come to Beijing to become an official?"

Ma Ji knew that the Eight Wise Kings were difficult to deal with, so he subconsciously looked at Lin Yun. Seeing Lin Yun's vague nod, he clasped his fists and said, "I've only been in Beijing for three or four days!"

"Oh! OK! If there is anything that cannot be solved in the future, you can come directly to me! I will protect you! Haha!"

Ma Ji didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only keep smiling and nodding.

Not to mention that he couldn't see through the Eight Wise Kings, Lin Yun had never seen through the Eight Wise Kings.

This old fox is very cunning and has no sense of boundaries in his behavior.

Whenever Lin Yun felt that he was a political enemy, the Eight Wise Kings would win over him intentionally or unintentionally, or say some flattering words.

Lin Yun was so angry that he couldn't let it out. He knew that the Eighth Sage King's butt was dirty, but he couldn't do anything about it.

In comparison, the Fifth Prince is much easier to deal with.

Lin Yun lowered his head and picked up the jug, poured wine for the Eighth Prince and himself, and deliberately scolded: "Master Ma, why are you so anxious to report? Don't you know that I am drinking with the Eighth Prince?"

Ma Ji quickly lowered his head and said with a nervous look on his face: "Master Zhongtang, don't blame me! Something big happened! Just when the infantry commander's office came to report, Cui Mingchong died! His body was found in the alley over the West City!"

"What!!"

Lin Yun stood up suddenly, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
