Qiaoqiao was puzzled, "Big Brother, what seed did you lose? Is it a big deal?"
Luo Ning and Qing Xuan blushed and spat at the same time. Ning Er whispered a few words into Qiaoqiao's ear. Qiaoqiao cried out in shock. Her face was burning and she said shyly, "Big Brother is so bad!"
Miss Xiao pulled his arm and pinched it hard. She sighed, "You always do weird things. You always fall for other people's tricks when negotiating. Luckily, it was Xu Zhangjin. If it was someone else, what would happen?"
"Yes, yes. How did you know it was Xu Zhangjin?" Lin Wanrong sat up straight. His face was filled with shock.
Ning Er snorted and her face was filled with grievance, "You're still talking about it. When we turned around yesterday, we saw you enter Xu Zhangjin's restaurant with lanterns and red candles. Even ghosts knew what she was going to do. In my opinion, we should directly rush in and make that Korean woman suffer the consequences. It was elder sister who stopped me. She said that you had something important to do with Xu Zhangjin. If we love you, we can't restrict you. After we came back, we waited here for the whole night. We asked elder sister to rest first, but she refused. She only said that she must wait for you to come back. "
Lin Wanrong was so touched that she burst into tears. She held Qingxuan's little hand tightly and said, "Silly girl, why are you so stupid? I was ambushed yesterday. How could I come back? You have our baby in your stomach. How can you stay up late? Lie down, lie down. My heart is aching. "
He struggled to get up and carried Xiao Qingxuan's delicate body. He gently placed her on the bed.
Miss Xiao's eyes and face were red. She leaned into his embrace and said tenderly, "I practice martial arts. It's fine even if I don't sleep for a night. You, on the other hand, don't be so careless in the future."
Lin Wanrong hurriedly responded. He thought to himself, 'Other than Xu Changjin, there's probably no one else who would dare to drug me and rape me.'
"Husband," Miss Xiao pressed her cheek against his chest and said softly, "Do you blame me for secretly following you and supervising you like that?"
"How could that be?" Lin Wanrong stroked her cloud-like hair and chuckled. "Having a fierce wife at home is a blessing in life. I can't wait to be happy."
"You're so annoying," Miss Xiao blushed and punched him in the chest angrily. "How am I a fierce wife?" She sighed and lamented, "Growing up in the Sacred Workshop, I've learned to have a pure heart and few desires, to stand aloof from worldly affairs. I thought I would be able to live a peaceful life like this, but who would have thought that I would meet you and ruin my many years of peaceful cultivation. After we became husband and wife, the greed and resentment in my heart increased. I was worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat and warm yourself. I was even more worried that you would provoke the young ladies of other families and cause trouble that would be difficult to resolve. But I don't know why, but after I met you, I'm not the original me. "
Miss Xiao lowered her head and shook her head lightly. Her eyes wandered as if she couldn't understand her own behavior.
Lin Wanrong beamed as he listened to her. He hugged her and kissed her beautiful cheek. He smiled and said, "This is called jealousy. It's a sign of extreme love. As the saying goes, hitting is a sign of affection. Scolding is love, and when you love it to the extreme, you kick it! Qing Xuan. You're a fairy who yearns for the mortal world. Naturally, you have to enjoy the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal world. Sigh, how can I be favored by a fairy? "
Xiao Qingxuan giggled and charmingly rolled her eyes at him. "What fairy's favor? You're just so likable. Jealousy is one of the seven evils. If I become a jealous shrew, won't you stay far away from me? "
"How could I?" Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. "We've gone through many twists and turns. Even the workshop was demolished. Only then can we be reunited as a family. It's not easy to come by these good days. I must cherish it."
Thinking of him attacking the Celestial Market for her and not hesitating to go against all the scholars in the world, Miss Xiao's heart warmed. Her eyes became moist. She snuggled into his arms. "Husband, I'm a woman. It's my duty to be jealous, but I understand that. You seem to be stubborn and mischievous, but in fact, you're very sentimental. You're a great temptation to us women. Look at the young ladies you've been in contact with. Which one of them doesn't have some thoughts about you? "
Luo Ning counted with her fingers. Not counting the three of them, Miss Xiao, Qin Xianer, Xu Zhiqing, and the little palace maid that he had sex with last night were all flirting with him. It was just like what her sister said, everyone was flirting with him.
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely. He laughed dryly. "Qing Xuan, you know that I'm just passively waiting to be attacked. If you want to blame something, I can only blame my charm."
"Shameless!" Xiao Qingxuan chuckled and lightly hit his chest. "You didn't do it on your own accord, but your personality is the bane of us women. Anyone who meets you will inevitably have some thoughts about you. You're the scourge I've suffered ever since we met."
She smiled shyly. She recalled the warm scene when the two of them first met in Jinling. Her heart was as warm as the sun.
Recalling the Xiao Family's little nest in Jinling, where he chatted with Qing Xuan every night, how free and unfettered it was, Lin Wanrong was deeply touched. He whispered in her ear, "When we're free, let's go back to Jinling and find that little house to stay in for a night. We'll fulfill our original wish. What do you think?"
Xiao Qingxuan looked at him shyly. She blushed and softly agreed. Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. He was extremely proud.
"Husband, although I'm jealous, I'm not a jealous woman." Miss Xiao sighed. She continued, "If there's a woman who treats you sincerely and pleases you, and the two of you are in love with each other, not only will I not object, but I will personally prepare a betrothal gift and ask for her hand in marriage on behalf of your husband. I will marry her into the Lin family."
Qing Xuan was really virtuous. Lin Wanrong was extremely touched. He held her little hand. "Wife, you're so good to me."
Xiao Qingxuan's tone changed. "It's easy to rule a country, but difficult to unify a family. You'll be working hard outside, but the inner house will be completely run by us sisters. We'll be your backing. If the sisters are united, our Lin family will naturally prosper and advance at a tremendous pace. But then again, if there's a woman with an impure heart entering the family, it'll be a small matter if there's discord in the backyard. But if there's a misunderstanding and it spoils your business, it'll be a great sin. I love my husband, and I love everything that my husband likes. The woman you like, Qing Xuan will also be like a sister. There's only one thing that Qing Xuan asks my husband to agree to. "
Miss Xiao was understanding and reasonable. Her words were sincere. Lin Wanrong listened and nodded. "Qing Xuan. If you have something to say, just say it! "
Xiao Qingxuan stroked his cheek. Her tone was gentle. "If there's a woman you like, you must first tell us sisters. We'll personally inspect her. If she's of good character, talented, and beautiful, we won't need you to say anything. We'll ask for her on your behalf. But if there's a woman of bad character who stirs up discord, even if I have to bear your scolding, I won't let her enter the family. I won't let her spoil the Lin family's atmosphere. "
Xiao Qingxuan's expression was upright. She didn't seem to be lying. With her graceful and noble temperament, calm, and uncompetitive personality, if anyone couldn't get along with Miss Xiao, then that woman was indeed not worth making friends with.
Lin Wanrong nodded. Among the girls I know, which one of them isn't well-behaved, talented, and beautiful? Discard the dross and extract the essence. This has always been my principle. Even if Qing Xuan didn't say it, I would still do it. Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled. "That's natural. You have to believe in your husband's eyes. Qiaoqiao, Ning 'er, and my little fairy, Qing Xuan, which one of them isn't a first-class girl?"
Luo Ning snorted, "What did that little palace maid from Goryeo say? She abused drugs and humiliated my husband. Is she also a good girl? I think she's a female pervert. Hmph, although the eyeshadow and mascara she gave me are not bad! "
She really touched a sore spot. The matter of drugging and raping was Official Lin's sore spot. Lin Wanrong bared his teeth and made an evil face at Luo Ning. Ning 'er wasn't afraid of him. She poked his waist with her little finger and giggled in his ear. "With Xu Zhangjin's skin, her body must be as soft as jade. Her figure isn't bad either. It's a pity that my husband doesn't have the fortune to look at her."
Seeing Ning 'er and Lin Wanrong teasing each other, Miss Xiao shook her head and smiled. "Ning' er, don't spoil him like this. When the day comes that he asks for another family's daughter's hand in marriage, it'll be too late for you to cry."
The possibility of this happening was extremely high. Not to mention the future, the Grand Mistress and Second Miss' problems were imminent. There was also that weird Xian Er. Who knew how Qing Xuan would react when she found out that Xian Er was her half-sister. But then again, the rules set by Miss Xiao couldn't be considered rules. It was a thousand times more lenient than what Lin Wanrong had imagined. He sighed ruefully and kissed Qing Xuan's cloud-like hair. He said, "Qing Xuan, if I really wanted to marry another family's daughter, would you feel bad?"
Miss Xiao's pretty face was pressed against his chest. Her heart was sour. She gently said, "A little!" The moment she finished speaking, she felt her anger still hadn't been vented. Her eyes became misty. She raised her small fist and hit his chest. "Just a little, you sweetheart!"
Lin Wanrong was delighted when he heard that, but he also felt a little sour. He hugged her soft body and said, "Don't worry. In the future, if I have nothing to do, I'll rest in your room …"
Xiao Qingxuan was shocked. She felt sweetness in her heart and blushed. "How can you do that? The sisters share the rain and dew, so how can you only spoil me? You're making it hard for me to behave. "
Lin Wanrong laughed. "Don't panic. I'm not done yet. Call Qiaoqiao, Ning 'er, and the others. Everyone will rest together. We'll sleep together and share the rain and dew. Won't that be the end of it? "
"Annoying!" Miss Xiao's body felt like it was on fire. She pointed at his forehead. "You're not serious at all. How can you tease us girls like this?"
"This isn't teasing!" Official Lin's expression was incomparably serious. "This matter concerns the unity of our Lin family. We can't neglect it!"
As the first wife of the Lin family, Xiao Qingxuan had always taken the unity of the inner courtyard as her duty. Hearing his solemn tone, she hurriedly asked, "How is it related to unity?"
He slowly caressed her flawless abdomen. It was as smooth as jade, intoxicating to the touch. "My little fairy, think about it. We're all a family. Apart from you, who's my first wife, the others are all my second wives. We all take serving our husbands as our glorious duty. What's there to treat each other as outsiders? First on the same bed, then with one heart. This is the best way to unite! "
Miss Xiao's face turned red. She lightly spat. "Sweetheart, you're just thinking of a way to tease us, yet you still say it in such a dignified manner. I won't listen to your instigation. Qiaoqiao, Ning 'er, come here … "
Luo Ning threw off her embroidered shoes and burrowed into the bed. Snuggling up to her older sister, Qiaoqiao sat down on the edge of the bed. The three women leaned against each other. Xiao Qingxuan stretched out her small hands. Her right hand held onto Qiaoqiao's, and her left hand held onto Luo Ning's. She smiled sweetly at Lin Wanrong. "Husband, we're a family. We're inseparably close and have become one. We mustn't be suspicious of each other. Others will see us as a joke. "
She leaned forward, her cheeks slightly red. She kissed Lin Lang's lips. Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao followed suit. They each kissed him to show their determination.
Thinking about Miss Xiao's status, how she treated him so affectionately. Looking at the three beautiful faces in front of him, a charming and warm atmosphere welled up in his heart. This was the feeling of home. Lin Wanrong was moved. He opened his arms wide and embraced the three women. "My three wives, you treat me too well. I'll definitely work harder and bring more women back for you to examine …"
"Huh?!" The three women looked up at the same time.
"Oh, it's to bring water and pour tea! Bring water and pour tea! I'm just buying a few maids. Madams, please don't misunderstand. "Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Who asked you to be mischievous?!" Miss Xiao rolled her eyes at him. "I've already explained the rules. My two younger sisters and I aren't jealous people. As long as it's a righteous lady, you won't be able to take advantage of the Lin Family!"
Official Lin beamed. "Not at all. I've never been good at taking advantage of others. Qing Xuan, you know me."
The three madams directly filtered his words. Xiao Qingxuan suddenly sighed. "Everything else is fine. Only this little palace maid from Goryeo is quite scheming. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with her."
Luo Ning raised her eyebrows and snorted. "She dared to use dirty tricks on my husband. Just based on this, she can forget about marrying into the Lin Family."
This Xu Zhangjin had angered everyone. Lin Wanrong couldn't interrupt. Miss Xiao shook her head. "I'm not worried about whether she can marry into the Lin Family. I'm just thinking about her intentions last night. Lin Lang, you have a close relationship with this little palace maid. In your opinion, what was her intention last night? "
It was just that they had a close relationship last night. Lin Wanrong spread his hands and looked annoyed. "Wife, I'm the victim. How can I know what the perpetrator is thinking? She must have seen me as a pure, kind, and handsome man. That's why she has evil intentions. "
Miss Xiao sighed. "If it was a spur of the moment idea, then it's fine. But I'm afraid she has a plan. She wants to take Lin Lang's incense and reproduce … "
"No way?!" Lin Wanrong jumped up. "You're worried that she's pregnant with my child? Only once. How is that possible?! "
What's impossible? Miss Xiao blushed and rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Wanrong quickly shut his mouth. I have a lot of firepower. Nothing is impossible. Qing Xuan is an example.
"If that's the case, then it'll be troublesome. The bloodline of our Lin Family is wandering in a foreign country. If she's abused … "Xiao Qingxuan shook her head and sighed. She couldn't go on.
The consequences are so serious. Lin Wanrong was a little stunned. It's just a one-night stand. Didn't the little palace maid take any protective measures?
"Don't worry. These are just my speculations." Xiao Qingxuan comforted him gently. "Maybe she has fallen in love with you. Maybe she only wants one night of pleasure before she leaves."
"I hope so." Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he really made a person, it would be the biggest joke of the century.
Qiaoqiao listened with infinite yearning. Her little face blushed. She gathered up her courage and said in his ear, "Big brother, I also want to have a baby."
Lin Wanrong patted her shoulder and smiled gently. "Little sweetheart, your big brother's seeds were stolen today. Wait for me to accumulate for a night. I'll plow with you tomorrow. "
They talked for a while. The sky gradually brightened. Xiao Qingxuan didn't sleep all night. Lin Wanrong was worried about his wife and son. He wanted to force her to lie down. Luo Ning shook her head. "Big brother, I'm afraid it's too late. The palanquin from the palace will come soon."
"The palanquin from the palace?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled. "What are they doing here?"
Xiao Qingxuan held his hand. Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Darling, my father has issued an imperial edict. He wants to bring me back to the palace to reunite with him. He wants to bury my mother's remains in the Imperial Mausoleum. As a daughter, how can I not be filial?"
Lin Wanrong remembered the imperial edict yesterday. As a daughter, it was natural for her to be filial to her parents. Lin Wanrong hurriedly comforted her, "Then I'll accompany you to the palace. Xu Changjin and I have agreed on the rules yesterday. We need to present them to the Old Master."
Xiao Qingxuan was comforted to have her Langjun accompanying her. Lin Wanrong took out the rules they had agreed on yesterday and carefully looked at them with his wives. Xiao Qingxuan was a phoenix among men. She glanced at the rules and nodded with emotion. "My father has been on the throne for more than 20 years. Due to various reasons, he didn't do it. This was the biggest regret of his life. He didn't expect that in his later years, you would give him such a big gift. My China has been founded for hundreds of years. My father was the first emperor to open up new lands. My husband, Qing Xuan thanks you on behalf of my father. "
"Why are you so polite? We are a family!" Lin Wanrong laughed. He threw the imperial edict that said, "According to the imperial edict, seducing women" to the corner. Qing Xuan was so righteous that it was useless to keep it.
When the palanquin from the palace arrived, Lin Wanrong was shocked. He saw that the procession was majestic. There were eunuchs in red and palace maids in colorful clothes. There were thousands of people following closely behind. All of them had a respectful look on their faces. Their hands were holding up embroidered clothes, yellow silk, gold plates, and jade. There were 50 carriages and more than 100 horse carriages. They lined up from the Lin Mansion to the Xizhimen Street.
"According to the will of heaven, the Emperor has issued an imperial edict. I have a young daughter named Chuyun. She has been outside the palace for more than 20 years. She is loyal and righteous. She has done her duty to ensure the stability and health of China. Now that everything has been settled, I hereby bestow 50 carriages and 100 horse carriages to escort the Princess back to the palace! Everyone along the way must kneel! End of the imperial edict! "
After Gao Ping finished announcing the imperial edict, he was the first to kneel on the ground. He raised the yellow silk above his head and loudly said, "We respectfully welcome Princess Chuyun!"
"We respectfully welcome Princess Chuyun!" Thousands of eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground and sang in unison.
Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao had already helped Xiao Qingxuan dress neatly. Miss Xiao wore a phoenix crown and a red cape. She wore a long satin yellow dress. Her face was like a hibiscus and her body was like a willow. She was very graceful. Lin Wanrong was overjoyed when he saw her. 'My wife is indeed a heavenly beauty.'
Xiao Qingxuan was the one and only daughter of China. She was born with this kind of graceful and noble temperament. She received the imperial edict and smiled. She said in a sweet voice, "Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, Princess!" Everyone kowtowed again before standing up.
"This servant has received His Majesty's decree to welcome Princess back to the palace. The carriage has been prepared. Princess, please depart! "Gao Ping saluted and sang with a sharp voice.
Xiao Qingxuan nodded. "Thank you, Gao Gonggong. I will depart now." She turned around and pulled Lin Wanrong. She softly said, "Lin lang, let's go back to the palace together."
Although Lin Wanrong and Princess Chuyun were living together, according to China's customs, the emperor had not officially decreed a marriage, so he couldn't be called the emperor's son-in-law at the moment. Seeing that the princess had spoken, Gao Ping cupped his hands and said, "Official Lin, please accompany the princess."
How could Lin Wanrong be polite with him? He pulled Xiao Qingxuan into the imperial tent and let down the curtain. Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the phoenix carriage started to move and slowly headed out of Dongzhimen. Princess Chuyun, who had been away for many years, had returned to the palace. She was also the only descendant left behind by the empress. She was fully deserving of the title of the world's most beloved daughter. One could imagine the commotion it caused. The phoenix carriage specially set off from Dongzhimen. It passed through halls and alleys and traveled along the main road of the capital to celebrate with the people.
"Princess Chuyun, Princess Chuyun — —" The two sides of the main road were packed to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Wherever the phoenix carriage passed, everyone knelt down in reverence and awe. Xiao Qingxuan lifted the curtain and smiled as she waved at the people. When everyone saw her fairy-like appearance, the crowd surged like a tide. Shouts rose and fell endlessly, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
Lin Wanrong lazily lay on the couch. He pulled her small hand and said with a smile, "Good wife, you're pregnant now, so don't be too tired. Quickly come into hubby's arms and rest. I'll give you a massage."
Miss Xiao was filled with emotions. She shook her head and sighed. "These are the ordinary people of China. They are hardworking and simple. If there were no foreign invaders, they could have lived a rich and healthy life. It's just that the Hu people have the ambition of wolves. They covet the rich lands of our China. They shoot rocks with flying bows and trample on the border, putting our people in danger. They're really abominable. "
"Although the Hu people are hateful, there's a saying that flies don't stare at a seamless egg. Our China has been peaceful for many years. Everywhere we sing and dance, we promote culture and discard martial arts. The border is not guarded, giving the Hu people an opportunity. To put it bluntly, it's our China who crippled our own martial arts. The old man needs to reflect on this." Lin Wanrong laughed.
"You dare to ask my imperial father to reflect on this?! Who asked you to say such sarcastic remarks? " Miss Xiao blushed and snorted. She threw herself into his arms and lightly hammered his chest. They listened to the cheers of tens of thousands of people outside, but inside the carriage, only the husband and wife were laughing. The atmosphere was special and warm.
"Lin lang, you, you're so bad!" The two of them played around for a while. When Xiao Qingxuan's body came into contact with his, Yinyin felt as if there was a hard object pressing against her. She immediately blushed and wanted to hit him.
"This, I really didn't do it on purpose." Lin Wanrong frowned and said, "My wife is as beautiful as a fairy. If I don't have any reaction, then wouldn't I be a eunuch?"
"Bad boy!" Miss Xiao's face was completely red. Her heart was sweet and bashful. She angrily glared at him. That charming charm simply broke Lin Official Lin's heart.
"Wife, your carriage is really big." Lin Wanrong shamelessly grabbed Xiao Qingxuan's small hand and lightly scratched it a few times. There was a trace of indescribable lasciviousness in his voice.
Although Xiao Qingxuan's personality was as calm as a fairy, she was in the fifth month of pregnancy. It was the easiest time for a woman to be aroused. When her husband grabbed her small hand and lightly scratched it a few times, her entire body went soft and her heart began to beat rapidly. "Husband, what are you doing?"
Lin Wanrong blinked his eyes and chuckled. "Wife, that's a good question. Right now, there's only the two of us. You're going to be the princess, so of course I'm going to be the prince consort. "
Miss Xiao let out a startled 'ah' and her face suddenly turned completely red. Although she knew that her husband was lawless, licentious, and tyrannical, she didn't think that he would really dare to make any request. He actually wanted to be the prince consort in this carriage that everyone was watching. This lecher!
Lin Wanrong pulled her small hand and blew a breath of air into her sparkling ears. Xiao Qingxuan's entire body went soft and she couldn't struggle. She hurriedly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes slightly trembling. Her heart was flustered. "Lin Lang, you, you bad thing — —"
Miss Xiao's appearance of wanting to refuse but also wanting to welcome him stimulated Lin Official Lin's desire even more. Making love with his own wife was a matter of course. He reached out and caressed Xiao Qingxuan's clothes, lightly flicking her tall jade chest. Miss Xiao let out an 'ah' sound and exhaled, "Lin Lang, no, no! You, you have someone else's scent on your body! "
It couldn't be. She was actually still thinking about this at this time. Lin Wanrong immediately became listless. Seeing his dejected appearance, Miss Xiao let out a laugh. She covered her mouth and said, "Who asked you to be so happy last night? You asked for it."
"How was I happy last night? It was a night of humiliation. Physically and mentally, I was in so much pain that I wanted to die." He said with a crying face.
Miss Xiao rolled her eyes at him and shyly lowered her head as she said, "If it was Ning 'er or Qiaoqiao, you would have done something absurd with them and then come to me to make love, I wouldn't mind. You can't pull out two radishes from the same nest. They are all sisters, so if it's absurd, then it's absurd. It's just that this little palace maid is not my Lin Family's wife. You spent the night with her and your entire body is filled with her scent. If you come to me to make love, then I won't pick up the grass that she left behind. If you don't wash yourself clean, then don't touch my body. "
Qing Xuan also had this kind of obsession with cleanliness? Lin Daren's heart was filled with bitterness, but he had no one to talk to. He turned his head and thought about Miss Xiao's words. She cared that Xu Zhangjin wasn't the Lin Family's wife, but Qiaoqiao and Ning 'er weren't that taboo. Did this mean that Lin Wanrong would be overjoyed? Although today's matter didn't work out, there was still hope for the future!
Seeing that her husband was deep in thought, Miss Xiao thought that he was angry. Her heart was a bit apprehensive as she pulled his hand and timidly said, "Lin Lang, don't be angry. After you finish washing, this concubine will let you do whatever you want. Even if it's on this carriage … Wu, I'm embarrassed to death. You bad boy!" Miss Xiao was so embarrassed that she covered her face and buried her head in his embrace, not daring to say anything.
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. He hugged her soft body and laughed lewdly, "Qing Xuan, you look down on your husband too much. Do you think that I'm an animal with the lower half of my body? You're very wrong. To tell you the truth, my upper body is used to think, while my lower body is used to support my thinking! "
Hearing his lewd laughter, Miss Xiao knew that she had fallen into his trap. She moaned in his embrace, unwilling to let go. The husband and wife snuggled together and played around. Listening to Official Lin's stories of monks playing drums and parrots drinking water, Miss Xiao was endlessly bashful. She only felt that after spending too much time with this husband, her many years of cultivation had already gone to waste. She had fallen from a fairy to the mortal world, step by step falling into hell. The two of them spoke sweet words in the boudoir, sweet and affectionate. It greatly subverted Miss Xiao's traditional way of thinking. For a moment, she was addicted to it, unable to extricate herself.
The majestic procession traveled through the streets and alleys. Only when it was almost noon did they enter the palace from the forbidden city. Along the way, a large red carpet was laid out. It was a very festive scene. From the moment they entered the palace, there were little eunuchs dressed in yellow who continuously announced the location and location of the Princess's phoenix carriage. After passing through the middle gate, they saw hundreds of officials standing in front of Zhonghe Hall. The Emperor's dragon carriage hung high in the air. The Emperor was actually personally welcoming the Princess back to the palace.
"Stop, quickly stop!" Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly ordered and got off the phoenix carriage with Lin Wanrong. The husband and wife teased each other. Miss Xiao's face was still flushed red. Her movements were graceful and graceful, full of charm and charm. She hurriedly took two steps and saw the Emperor on the dragon throne smiling at her. Miss Xiao's eyes were brimming with tears. She bowed to the ground, "Your son Chuyun kowtows in salute to Imperial Father."
Official Lin's heart ached. My wife is already five months pregnant. How can she kneel? Father-in-law, don't you know how to help her? The old Emperor naturally knew that Miss Xiao's body was about to bend down. "My son, you may dispense with the formalities."
Xiao Qingxuan raised her head and saw that her Imperial Father's face was lined with wrinkles. He seemed to be getting older. The hairs on his temples were blooming and he no longer looked young. She couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself into the Emperor's arms, crying, "Imperial Father, your son is back."
The old Emperor gently patted Xiao Qingxuan's shoulder and couldn't help but cry, "Chuyun, you're back. Good, very good! We are very happy, very happy! " He let go slightly and proudly said to the officials behind him, "My officials, this is our Princess Chuyun. You have all come to greet her."
"This official greets Princess Chuyun!" The officials congratulated her in unison and bowed deeply. Only Prince Cheng only bowed slightly with an ugly expression on his face.
"Sirs, please don't be overly courteous." Xiao Qingxuan wiped her tears and said generously, "Everyone here is a trusted aide of China. You have assisted my Imperial Father for many years and have made great contributions to China. Chuyun thanks everyone here." Everyone hurriedly said that they didn't dare. The atmosphere was very lively.
The old Emperor was in high spirits. He pulled Princess Chuyun to and fro in front of the officials and introduced the pillars of the court to her one by one. The Emperor had no children and only had three princesses. This noble and graceful Princess Chuyun was undoubtedly the one the Emperor liked the most. All the officials had some thoughts in their hearts and hurriedly greeted Princess Chuyun. They wanted to leave a good impression in front of her.
"This is your Imperial Uncle Cheng." The Emperor pulled Xiao Qingxuan and introduced him with a smile, "He is China's right-hand man and supports half of China."
Prince Cheng hurriedly bowed, "Your Imperial Majesty is too kind. This subject brother doesn't dare to accept it. The Princess has returned and one of Your Imperial Majesty's biggest worries has been resolved. This subject brother congratulates Your Imperial Majesty. "
"Same to you, same to you." The Emperor laughed. Xiao Qingxuan knew about this Prince Cheng's background and bowed slightly, not saying anything.
Seeing that the Emperor was pulling Qing Xuan and chatting with the crowd and didn't have time to pay attention to him, Lin Wanrong was bored to death waiting. Everyone saw him get off the Princess's carriage. Even though it was out of etiquette, since the Emperor didn't ask about it, the officials turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything.
"Congratulations, little brother!" Xu Wei's voice rang out beside his ear and the smile on his face was full of mystery.
"Sir Xu, don't joke. What is there to congratulate me about?" Lin Wanrong smiled. When he saw Old Man Xu, he thought of Xu Zhiqing. That girl had said that she would never know Lin San again. He didn't know if she was being serious or saying it out of anger.
Xu Wei looked around and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the Madam Qing Xuan that little brother has been looking for is the Princess of China. In a few days, this old man will call you Prince Consort. Isn't this a happy event?"
Lin Wanrong laughed twice. As long as I nod my head, I'm afraid you will call me Prince Consort.
"Xu Daren, have you seen Miss Zhi Qing today? Is there anything unusual with her?" Lin Wanrong thought for a long time and carefully worded his words.
"I have seen her, but I didn't see anything unusual. During breakfast, I saw her talking and laughing with her aunt." Old Xu was inexplicably shocked: "What's wrong, Little Brother Xu? Did something happen to Zhi 'er?"
Nothing unusual? F * ck, this is the biggest anomaly. Lin Wanrong quietly reminded him: "Xu Daren, think about it carefully. Did Miss Xu say anything strange recently? Or did she do something strange?"
"Strange words or actions?" Old Xu frowned and thought for a while. Then, he slowly shook his head: "I don't see anything different, except —"
"Except what?" Lin Wanrong asked.
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Recently, I don't know why, but Zhi 'er suddenly raised two big dogs. She trained them all day long to run and catch. She even gave them names. According to her aunt, they seem to be called —" He looked at Lin Wanrong and laughed a few times. Then, he hurriedly stopped talking.
Lin Wanrong naturally knew the names of Miss Xu's dogs. He laughed twice and said: "Miss Xu, it turns out you like to play with pets. That's interesting. One day, I will also raise a few wolves to play with. Maybe I can marry your dogs and give birth to some wolf dogs! "
Xu Wei didn't know what happened between him and Xu Zhi Qing. He thought Lin Wanrong was joking with him. He laughed a few times and then said: "Let's not talk about Zhi 'er. Little brother, there is one thing that you should not be angry about. "
"What's the big deal that can make me angry?" Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled.
Xu Wei sighed and said: "The emperor released Lu Dongzan and Ashile!"
"Who, who, who are you talking about?" Lin Wanrong's eyes widened.
Xu Wei bitterly smiled. "The Turkic State Advisor Lu Dongzan and the Turkic Envoy Ashil. Yesterday, His Majesty issued a decree announcing their crimes to the world and sending them back. These two people rushed back to the Turks overnight. "
"Stupid!" Lin Wanrong slapped his thigh and looked annoyed: "I finally caught these two people, how can I just let them go? Especially that Lu Dongzan, he is a very difficult person to deal with. I almost fell into his trap last time. "
His voice was very loud, so everyone looked at him. Xu Wei was scared and pulled him: "My little brother, lower your voice. You are the emperor's son-in-law. You are not afraid of losing your head. This old man still wants to live for a few more years. "
Lin Wanrong suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted: "Why did the old master release them? Doesn't he know that he is releasing a tiger back into the mountains? That Lu Dongzan is the Turk's Lu Dongzan. With a single thought of his, he can send the souls of tens of thousands of our China brothers to foreign lands. How can he release them just like that? "
"His Majesty naturally knows about this. But as the ancient saying goes, when two countries are at war, envoys are not executed. Not to mention how powerful that Lu Dongzan is, just the fact that he captured the Turk's envoy is already a topic of ridicule. Even if they want to steal the cannons back, our China can capture them, but what will the outsiders think? Gossip is a fearful thing. They will only think that our China is purposely framing the Turks, saying that the white cat is a black cat. Our China's relations with the other countries will be even more passive. The other countries will not believe us and will think that we went back on our word and captured the envoy. His Majesty is also in a difficult position and after discussing with the other ministers, he issued an edict to condemn them and send them back. Because diplomatic affairs are complicated, this old man did not object to it. "
"Diplomatic affairs are complicated?" Lin Wanrong flicked his sleeves angrily: "My Mister Xu, you are muddle-headed. Diplomacy couldn't be simpler. It could be summed up in one word: strength! Strength decides everything! Why are you so concerned about how the other countries view our China? Are the other countries' views more important than our China's safety and the safety of our China's people? This time, our China easily defeated Goryeo. What diplomacy does Goryeo have? Alliance is a strategy but it also depends on strength. How can a weak country have diplomacy? When China is strong, there is no need for diplomacy and the other countries will still come to visit. When China is in decline, you will only be mocked by others even if you shout for diplomacy a thousand times. "
His face was dark and his brows were cold. His aura was oppressive. Xu Wei was used to such situations but he was shocked. He opened his mouth weakly and whispered: "Are we going to ignore diplomatic etiquette just because the country is weak?"
"Diplomatic etiquette?" Lin Wanrong angrily laughed: "Mister Xu, that Turkic Special Envoy Ashil made a scene in our China's golden palace. You saw it with your own eyes. Did he talk to you about etiquette? He dismantled our China's artillery and secretly transported it back. Did he talk to you about etiquette? Why is it that when it is our China's turn, you have to talk to him about etiquette? The set of etiquette that you believe in is the product of the Dao of the Golden Mean that our Da Hua has accumulated for many years. We Chinese can play around with it, but that Tu Jue is not Chinese. He does not learn from Confucius and Mencius and does not follow the golden mean. The etiquette that you believe in is worthless in his eyes. How can you use your own standards to demand others? Just for this so-called diplomatic etiquette, how many young lives did our China have to sacrifice and how many beautiful families were broken? My Mister Xu, how can I say anything good about you! "
Lin Wanrong was deeply grieved. Gathering all the strength in her body, she kicked the palanquin next to her. With a light crashing sound, the palanquin swayed a few times and collapsed with a loud bang.
