The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 157 Recruitment Failed
Only then did Lin Siran realize that she was still held in his arms, and hurriedly got up, her face was slightly red, but her eyes were shining brightly.

Lu Jinnian looked at her intently, and felt that at this moment, the girl in front of him looked shockingly beautiful.

The two were looking at each other silently, and Amo coughed twice to remind them that someone was coming.

"Meet Your Royal Highness!"

Lin Siran turned around and hid in the fake cave almost subconsciously, trying to escape from the other side.

Lu Jinnian was also a little nervous, so he took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and returned to his calm appearance.

Li Xingxu walked over and saw Lu Jinnian sitting there alone, staring at the sparkling lake.

Lu Jinnian said indifferently, "I can't greet His Highness the Crown Prince, but I hope His Highness will forgive me!"

Li Xingxu just snorted softly, and after a while, he asked lightly: "Who did Mr. Lu just talk to?"

Lu Jinnian was slightly taken aback, and then said, "There is no one else here except me and A Mo."

Li Xingxu's mouth curled into a sneer, as if he had seen through everything, and said, "Young master is sitting alone by the lake in such a lively palace banquet?"

"I'm a quiet person, but I'm not used to lively places." Lu Jinnian laughed at himself, "I always feel out of place when I'm in it."

Li Xingxu glanced in the direction where Lin Ruran was hiding, but he didn't see through it. His eyes fell on Lu Jinnian's lap, and he said in a somewhat regretful tone: "If the young master hadn't encountered such unexpected disasters, he would definitely be able to succeed as a father." , to become a pillar of the imperial court."

"Your Highness praised you. Jinnian was originally a person with no ambitions. He was used to idle clouds and wild cranes. He couldn't compare to my father. Even if he was a healthy person, he might not be able to become a great talent. Now this is actually very good. Don't embarrass yourself." Lu Jinnian smiled. Laughing, doesn't seem to feel sorry for his situation.

Li Xingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, apparently not believing Lu Jinnian's words, and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Lu doesn't seem like someone who has no ambitions, and he doesn't seem like someone who is willing to spend his whole life idle."

"Really? How do you know?" Lu Jinnian asked back.

Li Xingxu put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest slightly, stared at Lu Jinnian closely with his eyes like a torch, and said, "I have never opened my robes in my whole life."

Lu Jinnian's body shook slightly, and he looked at Li Xingxu in surprise and bewilderment.

How did Li Xingxu know the poems he wrote down casually?
"Since you are so depressed and hopeless, why talk about idle clouds and wild cranes?" Li Xingxu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his smile was a bit tentative.

Lin Sizan was sweating for Lu Jinnian. Although Li Xingxu is still a hopeless prince, he is very powerful and ruthless. The key is to hold grudges.

If Lu Jinnian offends Li Xingxu, she is worried that Li Xingxu will retaliate in the future. It seems that after Li Xingxu ascended the throne, the Lu family will no longer be as important as before.

Lu Xiang has never stood in line, and his attitude has always been impartial. He only loyal to the emperor, never accepted any solicitation from King Fu and the prince, and only treated other ministers with a business-like attitude. It seems to be Lu Xiang's consistent attitude. .

But everyone understands that the emperor is old, and one day the world will fall into the hands of the princes. If he does not accept the olive branches thrown by the princes, then when the new king ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be supported by those who have the right to support him. Successful people crowded into the corner.

Once the emperor and the courtiers have been like this since ancient times, can Lu Xiang stand forever?

Therefore, if you can't win over Lu Xiang, you can also win over Lu Xiang's son. Li Xingxu's favorite is Lu Jinnian, who seems calm and has no intention of going to court.

Lu Jinnian laughed, still pretending to be stupid, and said, "If it's just an accidental complaint, His Royal Highness don't have to take it seriously. If you drink too much, you will inevitably get caught."

Li Xingxu could tell that Lu Jinnian hadn't planned to get closer to him yet.

He also smiled, without any reluctance, and said: "I just feel sorry for Mr. Lu's talent."

"Everyone has his own destiny, and different people have different ways of living. From the day Jinnian sat in this wheelchair, he never thought about becoming an official in the court." Lu Jinnian didn't explicitly reject Li Xingxu, but he Thinking, the prince is a smart person, and he will not fail to understand the meaning of his own words.

Even if he wanted to display his talents and ambitions, he didn't dare to stand in line casually. The crown prince and King Fu are making a fuss now, but it's still unknown who will win in the future. How could he be moved by the crown prince's few words?
Lin Siran hid in the cave, feeling very anxious. She was worried that Li Xingxu would find her, and she was also worried that Qingying and Sui'er would come to find her.

Li Xingxu has been playing charades with Lu Jinnian all the time, she can hear it clearly, but at this moment she just wants the prince to leave quickly, otherwise he will find out that he and Lu Jinnian meet here, and they will definitely have more children. The storm is coming.

Lu Jinnian also seemed to realize that if he didn't leave, Li Xingxu might not want to leave either, so he took the initiative to say, "Your Highness, I'll be out for a long time, and it's time to go back. Is Your Highness going with you?"

Li Xingxu nodded and said, "That's just right."

After speaking, the two left one after the other.

Lin Sizan was sure that they had gone far away, so she ran out cautiously and walked to Linde Hall from another path.

As soon as he returned to the Linde Hall, he saw Qingying and Sui'er anxiously looking for him.

"Miss, you are back, making it easy for us to find!" Sui'er breathed a sigh of relief, "You are running around alone, what if you encounter bad people, there are many people in the palace today!"

Sui'er felt that Lin Siran had a troubled physique, and was worried that Lin Siran would be framed again if she missed her alone.

Lin Siran also knew that she was obviously out of order today, and things were out of her control one after another, which made her mess up.

"I'm fine, I won't run away alone like this next time." Lin Sizan also didn't want to make Sui'er and Qingying worry, if anything happened to her, Sui'er and Qingying would inevitably be implicated by her.

Qingying looked at Lin Siki with a melancholy look, she seemed to understand the panic and sadness of Lin Siki when he ran away suddenly, she didn't complain about Lin Siki running away alone, she just said: "Miss, it's okay , we are just worried about you."

Lin Siran nodded, and didn't say much, her thoughts were already confused at this moment, she didn't know which direction to go, the singing and dancing in Linde Hall were peaceful, but her heart was in chaos.

She didn't know if she still had the chance to quit the game, but thinking of Lu Jinnian's words, she couldn't help but feel a little extravagant hope in her heart. If someone could help her make a better choice, could she take the risk and trust him once?
She returned to the seat, lowered her head, her mood was not very high, but she still tried her best to maintain a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Huo Min held her hand tightly and said nothing.

Ying Mingyue gave her a gentle smile.

Concubine Hui glanced at her from a distance, then nodded calmly, as if affirming the wise move she made tonight.

When Concubine Zheng glanced over here, her eyes were filled with a chill.

Lin Ruran had mixed feelings in her heart, and the moment she raised her head, she happened to meet Lu Jinnian's gentle gaze, and the turmoil in her heart seemed to calm down all of a sudden, as he blew past her heart like a ray of breeze without any trace.

The atmosphere in the palace banquet was still lively, but the excitement was always on the surface. In fact, everyone had different thoughts.
