Lin Wanrong was now the most favored person by the Emperor's side. It wasn't strange for three families to send invitations at the same time. But which banquet he was going to tomorrow really troubled him.
After sending Xu Zhangjin away, Huan'er pulled him back and said, "San ge, where did you meet this pretty miss? Does the Grand Mistress know? I think she treats you differently. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any relationship with this Xu Zhangjin. She is a palace maid of the Goryeo Imperial Family. This time, she came with the Goryeo Prince to China to propose marriage."
"I don't believe it!" Huan'er snorted in a small voice, "This Xu Miss might pretend to be indifferent, but the joy she showed when she saw you, and her expression when she looked at you, is completely different from other people. No, I have to report this to the Grand Mistress. "
Meeting such a responsible and responsible little girl, he really had nothing to say. Lin Wanrong smiled. He placed the three invitations side by side and started to think carefully. Cheng Wang was a descendant of the Heavens, a relative of the Imperial Family. Logically, he should go to his banquet. But he had fought with him many times in the open and in the shadows. It was clear that he was on the wrong side. He most likely didn't have good intentions when he suddenly invited him to a banquet.
The Goryeo people's thoughts were much simpler. This time, their marriage proposal had failed and they had been threatened by others. If they wanted to save themselves, they had to have a good relationship with China. Going through Lin daren's path was a clever move. Even more, there was Xu Zhangjin present, which was a great temptation to Lin daren.
The idea of the Turks' bonfire banquet wasn't bad and sounded different, but Lin Wanrong wasn't easy to deal with. He was very clear what these high-nosed Hu people were planning. Now that the two countries were about to go to war, they needed to get some useful information from Lin daren, a close official of the Emperor.
"It's late, why aren't you lighting the lamps?" A soft voice sounded by his ear, carrying faint joy.
Lin Wanrong raised his head and saw the Grand Mistress in a long purple dress. She was like a blooming purple lily as she stood beside him. Her slender figure and well-developed breasts and buttocks were like a delicate fragrance in the dark night that seeped into the heart and spleen. Even though it had only been two days, it felt like they hadn't seen each other for many years. Looking at the gentle as jade Grand Mistress, Official Lin was momentarily entranced.
Seeing that he was staring at her, Xiao Yuruo's pretty face, which was both happy and angry at the same time, was dyed with a faint blush. In the dusk, it exuded an exceptionally beautiful radiance.
"What's going on? Haven't you seen it before? " The Grand Mistress lowered her head and said softly. The flush on her face was like the mist stirred up by the spring rain in March.
"Indeed, I haven't." Lin Wanrong giggled and said, "I've never seen you so gentle and moving. Grand Mistress, if you can talk to me like this every day, even if you want me to go to the temple in the capital to thank all the Bodhisattvas, I will be willing. "
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yuruo gently struck a match and lit the oil lamp. Immediately, the room was filled with a warm yellow light, making it look very cozy.
Lin Wanrong saw that the Grand Mistress was carrying an easel on her back and that there was a faint smile on her face. He suddenly said in surprise, "Grand Mistress, you wouldn't have really gone out to draw, right?"
"What, can't I? You're allowed to wander around outside, but I'm not allowed to draw? "The Grand Mistress untied the painting box and said with a faint smile.
Something was wrong. Seeing the Grand Mistress's gentle appearance, Lin Wanrong was overwhelmed by this unexpected favor, but at the same time, he felt that this wasn't real. The previous Grand Mistress was a tigress and he was already used to her teaching by his ear every day. Suddenly, she had turned into a little oriole. This feeling was very strange. Just what kind of magic did Xu Zhiqing use on her?
"Grand Mistress, a-are you okay?" Lin Wanrong cautiously said, "Did you receive some kind of stimulation outside?"
"You're the one who received stimulation!" The Grand Mistress snorted. Her beautiful eyes glanced at him and she said in a small voice, "I've become like this. Do you not like it?"
"I — I — like it!" Lin Daren stuttered. This was strange. If the Grand Mistress didn't eat the wrong medicine today, then she was brainwashed!
"Idiot!" Xiao Yuruo's face was slightly red. She lowered her head and said, "You are also born to be despicable. Could it be that my current appearance is not good, and you want me to scold you like before?"
The Grand Mistress was right. I was really born to be despicable. When she was a tigress, I looked forward to her being gentle like water every day. Now that she is gentle and moving, I miss the tiger from before!
"Say something!" Seeing the shock on Lin San's face and him being speechless, the Grand Mistress couldn't help but lightly stomp her feet. Her face was red as she hurriedly said. She didn't look like an all-powerful business woman anymore. Instead, she looked more like a fifteen or sixteen year old girl acting spoiled with her lover!
"Say, say, say what?" Lin Daren felt like his brain couldn't wrap itself around this. On the martial arts field, he could easily play around with Goryeo and the Turks, but when he returned home and saw this refreshing Grand Mistress, he suddenly felt like his brain wasn't enough. The tough and resolute image of the Grand Mistress was already deeply ingrained in the deepest part of his heart. Suddenly seeing the gentle and affectionate Xiao Yuruo made it hard for him to adapt.
"Say —" The Grand Mistress's face was like the autumn maple. She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Say, do you like my previous appearance or my current appearance?"
"I like both!" Lin Daren answered without hesitation. This question was too simple. Any smart man would know how to answer!
"No!!" The Grand Mistress raised her head to look at him and snorted, "You damned person, you just like to fool people. I won't let you have your way. Just which appearance do you like?"
He didn't even say two sentences and this girl had already revealed her true colors. Lin Wanrong giggled and said, "The previous appearance is facing the previous me, and the current appearance is facing the current me. This is enough. I'm not a picky person and my requirements are very low."
The Grand Mistress's brows slightly wrinkled as she carefully pondered over his words. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't understand which appearance he liked. While the Grand Mistress was still in a daze, the painting box fell onto the table, revealing a corner of the painting. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Grand Mistress, what kind of paintings did you make today? Can you let me take a look?"
Xiao Yuruo was deep in thought. She unconsciously agreed, but she immediately felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly rushed out and said, "No — —"
How could Lin Daren give her a chance to change her mind? He had already opened the painting scroll. She saw that the scroll was spinning. It was a continuous scroll with four paintings on it.
The first painting was of a young man with an evil smile on his face. He was holding a small ant in his hand and letting it pass through a jade hole. There was a thin thread tied to the ant's leg. The second painting was of several tall and sturdy barbarians who were sweating like it was raining as they sawed wood. On the other side, there was a person leisurely directing soldiers to push a log into the water. The roots sank and the branches floated, showing the height of the tree. The third painting was of a hundred galloping horses with a mother and son snuggling against each other. There was a person standing in front of the horse, his eyes filled with joy and desolation. The fourth painting was of a princess's sedan returning to the palace. There was a person running beside the sedan, his expression filled with surprise, joy, and helplessness. Although these four paintings were of the same person, their expressions were all different. Some were happy, some were sad, some were cunning, some were wise, and some were wild. Several completely different personalities miraculously appeared on the same person's face. The Grand Mistress's brushwork was exquisite. She had painted this person's expression very clearly. It was as if she had it at her fingertips.
"You're not allowed to look, you're not allowed to look!" The Grand Mistress whined. She hurriedly snatched the painting scroll back and rolled it up behind her.
"I was wondering why the Grand Mistress was suddenly in the mood to go out and paint! Turns out she has an ulterior motive! "Lin Wanrong chuckled." Your painting is very good. Did you specially paint it for me? "
"How is it for you?" The Grand Mistress snorted. "This painting is for Sister Zhiqing. You're going to be the Prince Consort. Why would you be interested in such a crude painting? "
This girl saw everything and remembered it in her heart. Lin Wanrong ignored her struggle and held her little hand. She whispered in her ear, "It doesn't matter if you become the Emperor's son-in-law or not, but my daughter must have grown up drinking your milk."
"You're going to die." The Grand Mistress's face turned red. "What do you mean by drinking my milk? You're such a bad guy. You're so embarrassing!"
Xiao Yu Ruo blushed and lowered her head, not daring to raise it again. A faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth. That shy and gentle look was like the spring breeze in March caressing one's cheeks.
Lin Wanrong's heart itched. He pulled her into his arms and gently caressed her delicate waist. "Grand Mistress, let me write a letter to Madame."
"Hmm, what letter?" The Grand Mistress whispered. Being held in his arms, thinking of his naughty face, her heart was embarrassed and sweet.
"Just say that the Grand Mistress has been deceived by me. I'm asking her to come to the capital to uphold justice."
The Grand Mistress raised her head from his arms. She rolled her eyes at him. "You still dare to say that? If Mother knows about us, she'll skin you alive!"
"Don't be afraid, I've done a lot of skinning!" Lin Wanrong chuckled.
The Grand Mistress looked at him and said sourly, "Yes, you've skinned people all the way to Goryeo. That Palace Maid Xu from Goryeo, her face is like a painting. Her skin is like jade. Her eyes are bright and kind. She's gentle and lovely. Not only does she know how to treat illnesses, but she's also an expert in farming. When are you going to skin her? "
"Grand Mistress, you must believe me. Palace Maid Xu and I have a very pure friendship. Of course, if she covets my manhood, then I have no other choice but to remain pure. "Lord Lin vowed solemnly.
The Grand Mistress didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. She twisted his arm. "You think I'll believe you just because you say it? Qiaoqiao, Qin Xian 'er, Luo Ning, which one of them didn't start with the purest friendship? So annoying! "
"Ah, since the Grand Mistress hates my purity, then I can only be impure." Official Lin laughed and blew a breath of air into the Grand Mistress's ear. Xiao Yuruo's face instantly became hot and she couldn't stand steadily.
Lin Wanrong held her small waist. He was about to continue moving down when he heard Huan 'er's joyful voice from outside. "Third Brother, Grand Mistress, people from Jin Ling have come!"
