The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 270

[Chapter 270 Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony]

However, he absolutely could not get angry with Lin Tian at this time, so he just paused for a moment and then returned to his usual friendly face.

“Being able to be appreciated by my father naturally proves that Minister Lin has some talent, which this prince cannot match.”

This was said very modestly, but it was full of traps.

If Lin Tian agreed to his words, wouldn’t it be equivalent to admitting that the eldest prince was not as good as him?

No matter how mediocre the eldest prince was, he was still a prince after all, the son of the current emperor.

No matter how outstanding Lin Tian was, he could not agree to his words.

“It is true that the eldest prince is too modest. I am just an ordinary person. It is really lucky that I was appreciated by the emperor. How can I compare with the noble status of the eldest prince?”

Lin Tian was naturally not stupid. He smiled calmly and pushed the ball back to Su Lin.

Although he did look down on Su Lin, he could only say this in private, in his heart.

Otherwise, he would not only be criticized, but also killed!

Lin Tian was not willing to do such a thing.

“No, no…”

“It’s windy and sandy ahead, the eldest prince should take a rest in the carriage behind.”

Su Lin wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Tian before he finished.

As if to confirm what he said, Lin Tian coughed twice and looked at Su Lin meaningfully.

Su Lin’s face suddenly turned red and white. He opened his mouth several times to speak but still took it back, glaring at Lin Tian hatefully.

Anyone with a little bit of brains knew that Lin Tian’s words were to drive people away. Even if he had a thick skin like a city wall, he would not be embarrassed to stay here.

“Well, this prince will go back first. If Minister Lin is tired, he can come to the carriage behind and talk to this prince in detail.”

Seeing that Lin Tian said so, he could only follow his words and nodded to him.

But Lin Tian just saluted him with a fist, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Because he was chatting with the eldest prince, his speed was a little slower than the team in front.

The dust raised by the galloping horse made Su Lin cough a few times, staring at Lin Tian’s back fiercely, gritting his teeth.

This person is really disgusting!

He didn’t think it was caused by himself, nor did he think it was normal. Instead, he thought it was Lin Tian’s fault and that Lin Tian deliberately targeted him.

“Wait, this prince will make you die without a burial place!”

After looking at Lin Tian again, Su Lin rode back to his carriage.

But after returning, he became more and more angry, and immediately overturned all the tea sets that were originally arranged in the carriage, and crackling sounds continued.

“What happened in the back, why is it so chaotic?”

Emperor Zhengde happened to be free, and heard the crackling sound coming from the back, and asked Shun Gong beside him with some confusion.

“Reporting to the emperor, the sound seems to come from the carriage of the eldest prince. Maybe something was overturned?”

Shun Gong lifted the curtain and looked out.

In fact, he just knew that Su Lin had gone to find Lin Tian, and he didn’t know what Lin Tian had said to the eldest prince that made him so angry.

But how could Eunuch Shun dare to tell the emperor about these things?

If the emperor was in a bad mood, he would probably accuse him of gossiping.

“He is so careless, and he is still so unstable at his age. It must be his mother who taught him bad things.”

Emperor Zhengde shook his head and said this without any context.

Eunuch Shun looked at his nose and his heart, and said nothing.

It’s not that he didn’t want to talk, but how could he talk nonsense at such a juncture?

The emperor clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the eldest prince, but the emperor’s heart is unpredictable. If he helped at this time, it might become a handle to get rid of him today!

“It’s probably an accident. The eldest prince is not a rash person. Do you need me to send someone to ask?”

Eunuch Shun said carefully.

He chose a statement that would not offend the emperor or Su Lin.

“Forget it, let him go. How long will it take to get to the Temple of Heaven?”

Emperor Zhengde shook his head and waved his hand, telling him not to worry.

He took a look and saw that the sun was high outside, so it should be almost noon.

“We will be there in half an hour.”

Eunuch Shun also took a look and said.

The auspicious days for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven were calculated by the Imperial Observatory, and every minute and every second was calculated reasonably.

“Okay, serve the meal.”

Emperor Zhengde nodded, leaned on the soft pillow behind him, closed his eyes and began to rest.

He got up before dawn and now he was a little tired after walking a short distance.

Although there will be a big banquet in heaven, that is not the point after all. The focus today is the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven.

Shun Gonggong responded and went outside to instruct other servants.

Lin Tian, who was walking in front, was also worried that Su Lin would come to find him again, but fortunately, he didn’t hear any movement from behind.

As for the fact that Su Lin had a tantrum in the carriage and broke many tea cups, Lin Tian naturally didn’t hear a word.

“Grand Prince, please take it easy. This is not like our palace. The emperor is still in front!” The

little eunuch who had been following Su Lin said anxiously. If he continued to make trouble, it would inevitably attract the attention of the emperor.

The emperor didn’t like them very much. If he was caught, he would be scolded in the court!

“They are really hateful guys! This prince must teach them a lesson!”

Su Lin picked up a vase, cushioned it a few times, and finally put it back.

He also listened to the little eunuch’s words. If he continued to make trouble, it would inevitably attract the attention of his father.

If you break a teacup, you can still get away with it by saying it was an accident, but if you break these vases too, it will be hard to cover it up.

“Don’t worry, eldest prince, we have everything ready!”

The little eunuch laughed, with a flattering look on his face.

Su Lin felt that he was a bit annoying, so he waved his hand and asked him to leave quickly.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the Temple of Heaven. Because of the bad news of drought in the Central Plains during this period, the emperor was not in a good mood.

So after arriving at the place, he only let everyone rest for a while, and did not hold a big banquet.

“What happened just now?”

While everyone went back to the yard to rest, Liu Zhang quietly walked to Su Lin’s side and asked in a low voice.

He just heard about this from the guards around him, and Su Lin would not lose his temper for no reason. There must be something wrong.

“It’s still Lin Tian!”
