A young miss? Waiting for me for fourteen to sixteen hours without eating or sleeping? Which family's young miss is lovesick? Official Lin was puzzled when he heard a woman's weak voice ring in his ear, "Sir, sir, you've finally returned."
Lin Wanrong raised her head and saw a woman with smooth and creamy skin staring at her blankly. Her face was pale, and then she collapsed weakly to the ground.
Qiaoqiao reacted quickly and quickly supported her. She called out, "Miss Xu, Miss Xu, what's wrong?"
Lin Wanrong warmly rolled up his sleeves, "Qiaoqiao, don't panic. Miss Xu is too worried and tired. In addition, she's starving, so she lost her strength. I'm strong, so let me carry her in. "
Qiaoqiao obediently agreed and handed Miss Xu over to him. Miss Xu raised her head from Qiaoqiao's embrace and said weakly but firmly, "There's no need. There's no need to trouble Official Lin. Zhangjin can walk by herself." She steadied herself and took two steps. Her legs wobbled and she was about to fall again. Qiaoqiao stood by her side and supported her.
Xu Zhangjin was really stubborn. Official Lin smiled bitterly and let Qiaoqiao help her into the shop. When they entered the shop, they saw a cup on the table filled with cold tea. Qiaoqiao explained, "Big Brother, Miss Xu came to find you yesterday and has been sitting here quietly. She hasn't touched a single drop of water or eaten a single grain of rice. She said that she wanted to wait for you to come back."
As Qiaoqiao said this, she helped Xu Zhangjin sit down. However, Xu Zhangjin firmly shook her head and stubbornly looked at Lin Wanrong. Her eyes seemed to be blaming and sad at the same time.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed, "Miss Xu Zhangjin, why are you doing this? No matter what, you can't make things difficult for your body. Seeing you like this makes me feel uncomfortable. "
Xu Zhangjin looked at him with a serious expression, "Does Official Lin really feel uncomfortable? If you really have such a feeling, then it is also your punishment for breaking your promise. I want to use my actions to punish you, my lord. I want you to feel ashamed, and I want you to stop being a person who goes back on your words. "
He had seen powerful people, but he had never seen someone this powerful! Lin Wanrong opened his mouth and wanted to laugh, but when he saw Xu Zhangjin's serious expression, he held back his laughter. This Xu Zhangjin's logic is really strange. You want to suffer so that I feel guilty? You are not my wife! This girl was serious. She probably thought that everyone in the world was as righteous and selfless as she imagined. As expected of Great Changjin, she has character!
"Miss Xu, when did I break my promise?" Looking at Xu Zhangjin's clear eyes and selfless expression, Official Lin had the misconception that if he looked at her a few more times, he himself would think that he was an unforgivable criminal.
Seeing that Official Lin had made a mistake but did not know where he had gone wrong, Xu Zhangjin's beautiful eyes widened. She said in a soft voice, "You don't even know how you broke your promise? Sir, you can't be like this. Yesterday, you promised my Prince to attend the banquet at Mirror Lake. Last night, the Prince sent me to invite you but you didn't return the entire night. Isn't that breaking your promise? Official Lin, how can you be such a person? I, I — — "
She spoke too hurriedly and her heart was agitated. Her body swayed a few times before she started to fall. Qiaoqiao sympathized with this upright and stubborn girl. She hurriedly helped her sit on a chair, "Miss Xu, don't be hurried. Sit down and talk. Da ge is a true man and keeps his promises. He isn't the kind of person you say he is. "
This girl's body was so weak. Don't kill her. Lin Wanrong grimaced, "Miss Xu, when did I agree to your invitation?" The three parties had invited at the same time. Cheng Wang and the Tu Jue were far more important than Gao Li. Lin Wanrong naturally had to go to those two first. Even more, he hadn't agreed to attend the banquet with Xu Zhangjin. Last night, he had also encountered the matter of An jiejie leaving. How could he have the mood to go to Mirror Lake and play with Li Zhangjin?
Xu Zhangjin shook her head and said seriously, "When I invited you, you did not refuse. Of course you agreed. But last night, when I came to invite you, your family said you had already gone out. Daren, how can you not do what you promised? "
Not refusing meant that he agreed? This girl's logic was really good. Lin Wanrong snickered, "Miss Xu, I want to kiss you, you don't have any objections?"
"You — —" Xu Zhangjin's face reddened. She looked at him and said seriously, "Daren, how can you say such a thing?"
Lin Daren giggled, "You didn't refuse, that means you agree. I'm going to kiss — — Qiaoqiao babe, what happens next is not suitable for children, turn your head — — Miss Xu, are you prepared? "
Qiaoqiao giggled and turned her head as she was told. Xu Zhangjin hurriedly said, "Daren, these two matters can't be compared. I can directly refuse you but I'm afraid of hurting your pride."
"That's right." Lin Daren clapped his hands and laughed, "Miss Xu really spoke my mind. I'm the same as you. I didn't directly refuse you because I was afraid of hurting your pride. Aiya, Miss Xu finally understands my painstaking efforts. Qiaoqiao babe, quickly go to the kitchen and make something delicious for Miss Xu. Something like lotus seed porridge, ginseng, bird's nest, saffron, hurry up and get it! Ai, not eating for a day and night, just thinking about it makes my heart ache. Poor child. "
"Big brother, do you want saffron too?" Qiaoqiao asked in confusion. Her big brother was the best at talking nonsense. Look at how he had forced Miss Xu.
"Give me some, a woman staying up late will more or less need something," Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "Miss Xu is the most famous doctor in the Goryeo royal family, she knows how to use it. Ai, I've really thought it through. "
Lin Daren's thoughts jumped very quickly. Although Xu Zhangjin thought she was smart, she couldn't keep up with his pace. Seeing Lin Daren's excited expression, she couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, even if Daren doesn't say it, Zhangjin knows that my Goryeo is weak. Compared to China, it's like a hair from nine oxen. It's understandable that Daren doesn't want to pay attention to my Goryeo."
Lin Daren lazily sat down and yawned, "Miss Xu, we've talked about the banquet. It's a misunderstanding. I appreciate your intentions, but there's no need for this banquet."
"Daren — —" Xu Zhangjin was just about to speak when she heard Lin Daren say with a laugh, "Palace Maid Xu, I want to ask you a personal question. You can choose not to answer, I won't force you — — but if you don't answer, I can't promise to answer your question. How about it, I'm very fair, right? "
Xu Zhangjin sighed slightly. She was proud that her talent and intelligence were higher than others. Only in front of this Lin Daren, all of her little tricks were smashed to pieces by him. This person's mind was as deep as the sea of Jeju Island, making it hard for people to understand him, "Whatever Daren wants to ask, Zhangjin will definitely answer truthfully."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile, "Zhangjin, you're definitely the number one beauty in Korea?"
Xu Zhangjin shook her head and said, "Appearance isn't the only thing about a woman. The most important factor in a woman's life is her inner self. Beauty and ugliness are in the heart, not in the appearance. "
This girl was suitable for ideological and political work. Lin Daren snickered. According to Miss Xu's principle of "no denial means yes", and looking at her sparkling and translucent skin, to say that she wasn't the number one beauty in Korea was simply unreasonable. Lin Daren said with a smile, "You're the number one beauty, so just admit it. Talking about heart and appearance, that's too shallow! If we really talk about the beauty of the heart, then this Daren is the world's number one handsome man — — Zhangjin, do you have a boyfriend? "
"What do you mean by boyfriend?" Xu Zhangjin asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's someone as handsome and smart as me, a male friend who can talk to you! Do you? "Lin Daren said with a straight face.
Xu Zhangjin shook her head slightly, "What handsome and smart, Daren really knows how to joke — — but Zhangjin really likes to talk to Daren. If this is what a boyfriend is, then Daren is my boyfriend."
Ai, how can I accept this? I'm not ready to be Da Zhangjin's boyfriend yet. Lin Daren smiled coquettishly and teased Da Zhangjin. It really was one of the happiest things in life.
"Daren — —" Xu Zhangjin saw that Lin Daren didn't ask any more questions. She remembered the matter of the banquet and was about to continue speaking when Qiaoqiao came in with a bowl of fragrant and delicious lotus seed porridge, "Big brother, the lotus seed porridge is ready. Miss Xu, eat it while it's hot. I added ginseng in it, it's very nutritious. "
"There's no need, Daren." Xu Zhangjin said firmly, "Before the task assigned by the prince is completed, Zhangjin won't eat. Daren, please listen to me — — "
"Speak, speak, speak, speak what?" Lin Daren, who was speaking gently and softly just now, changed his expression and became solemn, "Miss Xu, if I don't listen, you won't eat, right?"
Xu Zhangjin nodded. Lin Daren snorted and said, "That's great. If you don't eat, then I won't listen. Let's just wait like this and see if you're stubborn or if I have a strong personality. Darling Qiaoqiao, there's an opera singer on the street, let's go out for a walk. "
Qiaoqiao hurriedly pulled Zhangjin's hand and said, "Miss Xu, listen to Big Brother and eat this porridge first."
Xu Zhangjin's personality was much more stubborn than imagined. Hearing this, she shook her head and closed her eyes slightly, not saying a word. It was as if she wanted to sit there quietly and wait for Lin Daren to return from his stroll.
Heh, this girl has a personality. Lin Wanrong took the lotus seed porridge and laughed, "Miss Xu, could it be that you're waiting for me to feed you? Alright, I'll give it a try. Come, open your mouth and let the porridge in. "
Xu Zhangjin's small mouth was tightly shut and she didn't say a word. The expression on her face was incomparably stubborn. Lin Wanrong smiled coldly, "Miss Xu, you really do have a personality! But my pitiful people of Korea, just because you have a personality in front of me, I don't know how much more suffering you'll have to endure. Sigh, I'll go send a message to Li Chengzheng and tell him that Xu Zhangjin is here to argue with me. I want the people of Korea to continue waiting. "
Xu Zhangjin's expression changed, "Daren, you mean — —"
"Come, open your small mouth — —" Lin Daren smiled and said with an incomparably bewitching tone.
Xu Zhangjin's lips moved a few times and the tips of her ears were dyed a faint pink. Her complexion was like a peach blossom in March. After muttering to herself for a long time, she finally opened her small mouth while trembling, but her eyelids shyly drooped down.
"— — Open your small mouth, my darling Qiaoqiao, you've worked hard these past two days. Big Brother will feed you porridge!" Lin Daren didn't seem to see Xu Zhangjin's actions and brought the small spoon to Qiaoqiao's mouth. The little girl was startled, "Big Brother, this is Miss Xu's, wu — —"
A mouthful of sweet porridge filled Qiaoqiao's small mouth. The little girl blushed, but her face was filled with happiness. Xu Zhangjin waited for a long time, but when she saw him feed the porridge to Qiaoqiao, she was stunned for a while and tears filled her eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head in silence.
Lin Wanrong smiled and took the handkerchief from Qiaoqiao's hand and handed it to Xu Zhangjin. He softly said, "Don't cry, Xu Zhangjin. This is to tell you that when no one cares for you, you have to learn to care for yourself. "
Xu Zhangjin was stunned. Lin Daren took advantage of the situation and handed the bowl of porridge to her. She carefully thought about it and suddenly lowered her head. Tears streamed down her face and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Daren, thank you, I understand."
"What are you thanking me for? I'm your boyfriend. Ai, international relationships are the most difficult. The people of Goryeo and I are separated by a strip of water. I have to take on both sides. It's so difficult. " Seeing Xu Zhangjin eat the porridge in small bites, Lin Daren giggled, but his expression was no longer serious.
Xu Zhangjin giggled and blushed. She hurriedly lowered her head, feeling that the porridge was especially fragrant and sweet.
When Xu Zhangjin finally finished eating the porridge, Lin Daren's forehead was covered in cold sweat. This girl was too refined. Eating porridge was like embroidery. It was estimated that one-fifth of her life was spent on eating.
Seeing Lin Daren staring at her, Xu Zhangjin bit her red lips and said in embarrassment, "Daren, is it because Zhangjin looks ugly eating porridge?"
"It's not ugly, it's too pretty." Lin Wanrong sighed, "Miss Xu, after you return to Goryeo, don't eat in front of other men. Otherwise, if other people see your appearance, they will definitely be mesmerized to death. "
Xu Zhangjin smiled and said softly, "Daren, you can tell me now, right?"
"I already said that there's no need to attend the banquet." Lin Daren waved his hand. Xu Zhangjin's face was filled with disappointment. However, she heard Lin Daren continue, "I don't like to play around. Instead of talking to Li Chengcheng, why don't you tell me directly, Zhangjin? Why is the little prince looking for me?"
Xu Zhangjin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Daren, can I really say it?"
Ai, this girl is good at everything, but she's too polite. Could it be that after getting married and taking off all her clothes in bed, she still has to say "Daren, please come in!"? Hehe, that's interesting enough! He laughed lewdly, his eyes shining with a lascivious light. His gaze fell on Xu Zhangjin's flawless face, carefully playing with it.
Seeing Lin Daren's lecherous look, Xu Zhangjin was at a loss. Where did the gentle, considerate, and philosophical Lin Daren go? She couldn't win against Lin Daren's gaze, and her usual calmness was no longer enough. She was a little flustered and hurriedly lowered her head, saying, "Daren, actually this matter is related to China. Do you know why we came to China this time to marry Princess Nichang? "
Nonsense, I'm not the King of Goryeo, how would I know what you're thinking? Thinking of Madam Xu's ever-present politeness, Lin Daren squeezed out a fake smile and said, "Oh, why is that? Ai, Zhangjin, you're so polite! "
Xu Zhangjin didn't understand the meaning behind his words. She shook her head and sighed, "The reason why we want to marry Princess Nichang is because we want to borrow troops from China."
"Borrow troops?!" Lin Wanrong was shocked. When did the Goryeo people become so self-aware, asking China to take the initiative to enter?
"Daren, please don't misunderstand us. We aren't asking for China's troops to enter Goryeo, but we hope that China can send more troops to the southeast and northeast." Xu Zhangjin hurriedly explained.
"Southeast and northeast?" Lin Wanrong thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Miss Xu, you're talking about — — Dong Ying?"
"Daren Lin is indeed smart." Xu Zhangjin nodded, her expression solemn. "Before we came to China, the Turks and Dong Ying had already sent envoys to Goryeo, wanting to ally with us to deal with China."
Ally? One on the plains, the other on the sea, these two fellows also want to collude? The Turks were powerful, so it was reasonable for them to think like this. However, that tiny Dong Ying also dared to dream of taking over China? They couldn't swallow it! No, the Dong Ying wanted to take over Goryeo! Only by establishing a firm foothold on land could they dream of China.
Lin Wanrong's mind lit up, but he didn't expose her. He pondered for a while and said, "Oh, then what does the King of Goryeo think?"
"The King was originally tempted, but I think that the Dong Ying people are sinister and wouldn't go against China's will. I'm afraid that their intention isn't China, but Goryeo. I found the Assistant Minister of War and asked him to convey my opinion to the King. The King also realized that this matter wasn't appropriate. However, the Dong Ying people have been expanding their military strength in recent years, and our Goryeo is far from being their match. Thus, the King sent the Prince here to ask China to pressure the Dong Ying people in the southeast and northeast, so that they would give up on their unrealistic thoughts. However, the Emperor of China refused to meet us, so the Prince wanted to convey the wishes of Goryeo through you. If Goryeo falls, the Dong Ying people can use the land to build their nest and join forces with the Turks to attack China. At that time, China's situation will be even more dangerous than it is now. " Xu Zhangjin finished her thoughts in one breath, and immediately let out a long sigh as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Her gaze fell on Daren Lin again.
Xu Zhangjin was indeed insightful, and Goryeo could be considered fortunate to have her. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Xu, there's no point in telling me all this. I'm just a small official, and I can't participate in these military affairs."
Xu Zhangjin glanced at him and said softly, "Daren, there's no need to be humble. Although I'm from Goryeo, I know that the title of 'Number One Soldier in the World' by the Emperor is extraordinary. A word from you in front of the Emperor is worth more than a hundred thousand soldiers. For the safety of Goryeo and China, please pass on this message to His Majesty, and ask him to take precautions as soon as possible. I beg of you! "
Xu Zhangjin bent down and bowed deeply. Her long dress accentuated her slender figure, and along her fair neck, her ample breasts were puffed out, making her look extremely alluring.
