After the troops arrived, the two young men immediately got off their horses. One of them looked at Lin Haoming and the others, and took the initiative to ask: "Which of you is Mr. Lin, who is setting the palace of Shihai?"
"This is my master, Mr. Lin as you call him. Are you the young prince of Prince Ding's palace?" Guangzhi looked at the other person and asked.
"Don't dare. Your Majesty has not conferred any title on us. I am indeed the eldest son of my father. You can just call me by my name. This is my third brother Shi Tian." Shi Hai responded immediately.
"Is your father here?" Lin Haoming asked at this time.
"My father is not in the palace, but has gone to see Grandpa Huang. However, my father told us that if Mr. Lin and others come, they will be well entertained," Shi Hai said.
Lin Haoming looked at Shi Hai. He was really a talented person. Except that his appearance was indeed not that similar to that of King Ding, there were no other problems.
"Guys, this is not the place to talk at the door. Please come with us to the palace to rest." Shi Tian also invited with a smile at this time.
"Okay!" Lin Haoming agreed directly without refusing.
Several people followed him and walked together. Along the way, Shi Hai very steadily introduced the situation of the entire Runwei City to Lin Haoming, appearing to be particularly hospitable.
Prince Ding's Mansion was not far from the city gate, and it didn't take long for the group to arrive here. After entering Prince Ding's Mansion, Lin Haoming saw that there were many people in the entire Prince's Mansion, but many of them were busy.
"The day after tomorrow is the New Year, and the palace is also preparing for the celebration?" Lin Haoming asked casually as he looked at the people coming and going.
"No, it's actually for New Year's charity. My mother-in-law has built a nursing home and an orphanage in the city. During the New Year, she will take us wherever we go to give charity. She is not here this year, but we still have to continue doing things." Shi
Hai explained with a smile.
Lin Haoming could see that from the time he arrived here to the time he came in, the other party could not have deliberately put on a show for him, and many things were obviously busy from morning to night for a long time. It can be seen that they really did this, and that Princess Ding was indeed a kind person.
"Fifth sister." At this time, Shi Hai called out to a girl, and then the girl who had her back to everyone turned around and immediately ran over with a smile.
"Brother, three of them, who are these?" The girl suddenly flashed her big eyes and glanced at several people.
"This is our fifth sister, Shi Ying, and the other three brothers, who are going to meet Grandfather Huang with their father." Shi Hai introduced.
Along the way, Lin Haoming saw that the Kun Kingdom was much more conservative than the Jing Kingdom, especially women, who rarely appeared in public, especially ladies. However, as the only little princess in the Ding Palace, he didn't care. It can be seen that there is indeed a lot of people in the Ding Palace.
Unlike other places, it is closer to the people, and the relationship between brothers and sisters seems to be more harmonious.
After some introductions and pleasantries, Shi Hai led everyone inside.
Lin Haoming had already told Shi Hai on the way that he had come with a letter from Princess Ding. After arriving here, Lin Haoming did not hide it and gave the letter to them directly.
There are two letters in total, one can only be read by King Ding, and the other is for family members. Lin Haoming naturally knows the meaning of Prince Ding’s letter, so no one else can open this letter except King Ding.
, so Lin Haoming is not afraid of them peeking.
By the time the three of them finished reading the letter, it was already dark. The three of them immediately invited several people for dinner. Because it was close to the New Year's Eve, even though King Ding was not in the mansion, there were still many people from Hedong County, so Shi Hai, as the eldest son, had nothing to do.
She has been accompanying Lin Haoming and others, so she can only let her younger brothers and sisters accompany her. Fortunately, Shi Tian and Shi Ying are also eloquent people, especially Shi Ying, who is somewhat like He Wanfeng, but compared to He Wanfeng, she is more like a lady from a big family.
of nobility.
After dinner, Shi Hai also came over in person and took the initiative to arrange for Lin Haoming and others to live in a small courtyard in the palace that seemed remote but was actually very quiet. He had obviously made preparations with all his heart.
When everything was settled, the three of them gathered together and breathed a sigh of relief. But at this time, Shi Hai looked at the third brother and asked: "Third brother, you have been thinking deeply since just now, what's the matter?"
"Brother, Fifth Sister may not know, but have you noticed that the girl next to Mr. Lin is very familiar, I always feel like I have seen her before somewhere." Shi Tian thought deeply.
"Sure enough, you also feel this way. You may have seen him before, but since you are with Mr. Lin, we don't need to ask any more questions. This is an expert from outside the world and we can just treat him kindly." Shi Hai ordered.
"I heard that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and now he has asked the Imperial Master to recruit strange people from all over the country to gather in the capital, and even plans to hold a Dharma conference. Do you think that if Mr. Lin goes to attend, will he be favored by the emperor?" Shi Hai
He asked seemingly in a whisper.
"This Mr. Lin is a friend of the Lake Goddess of Shengmin Lake, and the Lake Goddess is an expert who can treat diseases that even the national teacher cannot cure. Naturally, he is definitely extraordinary. It is possible to think about it.
But such an expert outside the world may not be willing to join the world, so don’t think too much about it." Shi Hai shook his head.
"Brother, Grandpa Huang feels guilty for his father, so he favors him, and we also benefit from it. But if Grandpa Huang leaves, it's hard to say whether our father will still be alive. The royal family is not like our own family.
Clean up." Shi Tian reminded through gritted teeth.
When Shi Hai heard his brother's words, his face became calm and he warned in a warning tone: "Third brother, don't say this at home. Not everyone in the palace may be from us."
"Brother, I know. It's just that I...I'm...not willing to accept it. My father is a wise king. Brother, you are both civil and military. If you were the father..."
"I said, stop talking." Shi Hai reminded again.
"Eldest brother, third brother is also..."
"Fifth sister, you are still young. Don't think too much about this matter. Third brother, stop talking." Shi Hai interrupted them even more anxiously when he saw his sister also helping to speak.
Seeing their eldest brother like this, the others could only sigh and stop talking.
While the three brothers and sisters were talking about this, Lin Haoming also heard that his disciples were also talking about Prince Ding, and they seemed to have high regard for Prince Ding.
The next day was the last day of the year, and Shi Tian was waiting outside the courtyard early in the morning.
Yesterday during the banquet, I said that I would take everyone to visit Runwei City today, but I didn't expect to arrive so early.
I changed two carriages and went out from the side door of the palace. Because it was approaching the New Year's Eve, the city was really lively, and the streets and markets were bustling with people in the morning.
The group got off the carriage and walked on foot in the city. He Wanfeng couldn't help but sigh: "Hedong County is really prosperous, much better than Hudong County. It shows that King Ding is indeed wise."
"Thank you for the compliment, girl. Father, he is also..."
Shi Tiangang wanted to be humble and say a few nice words for his father, but he didn't expect that in the middle of his words, someone suddenly heard screaming in pain from in front of him, which made his face suddenly darken.
