"Enter the palace?" Xu Wei looked at him in shock and said, "Why would Little Brother Lin have such an idea? Could it be that you don't get along well with the wives? Or do they make you dissatisfied? "
Damn, isn't it just entering the palace? Why does it have to do with my wives? Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "What is Official Xu talking about? I get along well with my wives. Every night we give in to each other, so how could we not get along? Official Xu thinks too much! "
Xu Wei said, "That's strange. You have a happy life with your wife, so why do you want to enter the palace? You have to know that there are hundreds and thousands of attendants in the palace. Although you know the world and have a belly full of talent, it doesn't matter if you have one more or one less. Even if you enter the palace cleanly, it may not be as free and unfettered as it is outside. Moreover, if you are cleanly cleansed, how will you deal with the wives outside? Where will you put them? "
Cleansed? Lin Wanrong looked at Xu Wei in shock. I said I want to enter the palace, but this old man actually thinks I want to be a eunuch. Damn, I don't know what is going on in his head all day, it's filthy! A man can do anything, but he will never be a eunuch.
He laughed dryly and said, "What are you talking about, Mister Xu? I am in the prime of my life, and my needs are strong. My husband and wife are happy and harmonious. How can I be a eunuch?"
Xu Wei suddenly understood and laughed, "So that's how it is. This old man has misunderstood Little Brother Lin. My sin, my sin. So Little Brother Lin wants to enter the court and become an official. This old man has a way. However, I am also curious. With Little Brother Lin's outstanding military service, this old man has always wanted to ask the Emperor for Little Brother's merit, but was rejected by you. Why have you changed your mind now? "
Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old man Xu was smart his whole life, but how could he be so muddle-headed this time? I told him I want to enter the palace, but he either thinks I want to be a eunuch or an official. Damn, is there nothing else besides these two reasons? Can't I secretly go to the princess?
He sighed and said, "Mr. Xu is mistaken again. Xiao Di does not want to enter the palace to be a eunuch, nor do I want to enter the imperial court to become an official. Let me put it this way: I want to go to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace to take a look, to find someone."
Xu Wei looked at him in confusion, but shook his head even more firmly. "Little brother Lin, you can't do that. The inner courtyard of the palace is where the princess and the imperial concubines live. Aside from His Majesty, who is a man, the rest are palace maids and cleansed deacons. It is impossible for outsiders to enter. If you are really willing to cleanse yourself and become a court eunuch, this matter can still be discussed. Apart from this, there is no other way. "
Lin Wanrong put on a fake smile and said, "It is precisely because of such a difficult matter that I want to ask Master Xu for help. If I really want to become a eunuch, Grand Scholar Xu doesn't need to worry about it."
Xu Wei saw his determined look and knew that he really wanted to enter the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace. Although he didn't know who he was looking for, seeing that he was willing to take this risk, he knew that the person he was looking for was definitely of great significance to him.
Xu Wei's brows were tightly furrowed and his expression was solemn. He didn't answer him and slowly paced in the hall.
Lin Wanrong also knew that this matter was difficult. Seeing that Old Xu was thinking, he also quieted down and quietly waited for the result. Su Qinglian and the young ladies of the Xiao and Xu families, who were talking on the other side, heard the two of them chattering for a while and then quieted down, and they both looked at them strangely.
Xu Wei thought for a while, but still shook his head awkwardly. "Little brother Lin, a man trespassing into the inner palace is a great crime that will result in beheading and nine generations of his family being executed. Given the kindness you have shown me, it is fine for me to take this great crime for you. I'm just afraid that if we make this sacrifice and you are still discovered, it will not be worth it."
Old Xu spoke with sincerity. Lin Wanrong thought about it carefully and felt that what he said was true. She couldn't help but sigh and say, "According to what Mr. Xu has said, is there really no other way?"
Seeing his disappointed expression, Xu Wei smiled. "Little brother, don't be pessimistic. There is a way, but it depends on whether you are willing to do it or not!"
"What way?" Lin Wanrong said excitedly. "For Qing Xuan, there is nothing in this world that I don't dare to do."
Xu Wei smiled. "This is easy to say but difficult to do. Although men are strictly forbidden from trespassing into the inner palace, you can enter openly as long as someone says the word."
"You mean the Emperor?" Lin Wanrong was surprised.
Xu Wei nodded. "Little brother Lin is indeed extremely smart. The inner palace is the Emperor's. As long as he says the word to invite you in, it will be an open and aboveboard entrance, and no one will dare to stop you."
Damn, this Old Xu's words are unreliable. The inner palace is the Emperor's home, and the Emperor's authority is greater than the heavens. Who would dare to take a stroll in the Emperor's home? Even if I go to the Emperor and tell him that the White Lotus Sect was destroyed because of Lin San, he will at most reward me with the title of Great General and a few hundred Eastern pearls and a few thousand taels of gold. Wanting to take a stroll in the Emperor's inner palace is pure wishful thinking.
Xu Wei was old and shrewd. He had long seen through his thoughts. He smiled. "Little brother, don't be anxious. In front of the Emperor, you are definitely not a nobody. You are the greatest contributor to the extermination of the White Lotus Sect. You are not arrogant because of your contributions. Not only do you not want to be rewarded, but you are also not willing to see the Emperor's name. Other than being surprised, the Emperor praised you greatly. He praised you for your reclusive demeanor and unyielding character. He has a very good impression of you! "
Old Xu's bootlicking, laozi really liked to hear it. He laughed and said, "Mr. Xu, these nice words can be said in the future. I am only concerned about how to enter the palace."
Xu Wei said, "Little brother Lin, don't panic. I am also talking about this matter. At present, you already have a good reputation in front of the Emperor. As long as you do a few more important things for our China, when the time comes, with this old man's recommendation, you will suddenly appear in front of the Emperor. When the Emperor sees your dignified appearance and outstanding knowledge, he will certainly be very pleased. He will be incomparably pleased with you. When the time comes, don't say that you are going in to find someone, even if you want him to betroth the Princess to you, he will certainly agree. "
Damn, what I want is a Princess. If Qing Xuan is a Princess. His heart stirred. Seeing Xu Wei's flickering eyes, as if his evil plan had succeeded, he could not help sizing Xu Wei up and down. He nodded and smiled. "So that's how it is," he said, "I understand. It seems that Mr. Xu has come today because you have something to do. "
Xu Wei saw that his intention was seen through and smiled awkwardly. "You flatter me, I came here today mainly to reminisce about old times with little brother and the Grand Mistress. Everything else is incidental, incidental."
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Mr. Xu, we are old friends. If you have something to say, just say it. We can talk about it." Xu Xiaoshou smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, we are old friends.
Xu Wei nodded and smiled. "Little brother is a discerning person, then this old man will not beat around the bush. The day before yesterday, this old man went to General Li's residence to pay a visit. During the banquet, we talked about military matters. The Old General praised your subordinates, Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Saint Li, Xu Zhen, and the others, but he had some complaints about you as the Commander-in-Chief. "
Lin Wanrong waved his hand and cut off his words. "Mr. Xu, the Commander-in-Chief position is already in the past. Right now I am just an ordinary person. Every day, I talk to the Grand Mistress, do things, and have a lot of fun. Whatever the Old General wants to say, just let him say it. "
Xu Wei said awkwardly, "That may be the case, but this old man recommended you to General Li, and General Li has also personally evaluated you. He praised you for your knowledge and courage, but he had some complaints about you refusing to serve the country. According to this old man's interaction with little brother Lin, little brother Lin is not such a person. I wonder what little brother Lin is thinking?"
Sure enough, it's because of this matter. That old man Li Tai is making a mountain out of a molehill. Everyone has their own ideas and ambitions, there is no meaning in forcing them.
"Mr. Xu, you also know that I am very happy in the Xiao Family. If not for your invitation last time, I would not have anything to do with the military affairs of the country. Even if I fought a battle, to be honest, it was all because of luck. I also know my own capabilities. Rather than going into battle to harm others and myself, it is better to recognize myself and honestly do some down-to-earth things. "
As soon as Lin Wanrong finished speaking, a woman's voice was heard saying, "There are many selfish people in this world. For the sake of their own selfishness, they disregard their families and country, and yet they still find such fallacious arguments. It's really laughable. Little sister Xiao Yuruo, do you hate this kind of person? "
The one who spoke was Xu Zhiqing. At this time, she was talking to the Grand Mistress, but her voice was very loud, and it happened right after Lin Wanrong, as if she was deliberately saying it for someone to hear.
Xu Wei looked at his daughter curiously, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
This little girl is deliberately finding fault. Lin Wanrong looked at Xu Zhiqing, and said with a smile, "Then in Miss Xu's opinion, what kind of person is a truly intelligent person?"
Xu Zhiqing pretended to be surprised and looked at him, and said with a smile, "Hey, I didn't expect you to hear me talking to Little sister Xiao Yuruo. Just now, I was mocking those who are selfish, and those who are truly knowledgeable and knowledgeable will never let their talents lie idle. Working for the welfare of the people and the country is their lifelong dream. On the contrary, those who are half-baked like to make excuses, but in fact, they have no confidence in their own abilities. In the end, they are extremely selfish. "
"Miss Xu is indeed a person of great wisdom." A trace of ridicule flashed across Lin Wanrong's face, and he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "But I don't know who Miss Xu thinks is knowledgeable and knowledgeable? Is it those who shout all day long that they want to go to the front line, that they want to fight the Hu people? Damn, this slogan is really loud! If so, then pretend I didn't ask. Miss Xu and I are not the same people. "
