Qiaoqiao was shocked when he heard his words, and hurriedly said: "Brother, where is the emperor?"
While speaking, a person came outside the door, his face was ruddy with some unusual paleness, his temple hair was dyed with autumn frost, he was dressed in a yellow satin robe, walking like a dragon and a tiger, full of majesty. Behind him was Eunuch Gao and a group of guards, all in plain clothes, who surrounded him closely.
"My lord, why are you here?" Lin Wanrong didn't salute, and went forward with a smile and asked.
However, the emperor seemed not to have heard his words, and regarded him as if he hadn't seen him, his eyes were fixed on behind him, his face was full of surprises, his lips twitched a few times, and finally he said: "Miss Guo, is that you?! !"
"Guo Junyi, daughter of the people, kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Mrs. Xiao bowed slightly, knelt down, and saluted respectfully.
Excitement flashed across the face of the old emperor, and the rosiness on his face gradually increased. He coughed twice sharply, and Eunuch Gao, who was behind him, hurriedly handed over two pills, and said gently: "Your Majesty, the medicine is here." !"
With a big wave of the emperor's hand, the pill was thrown away. The pill bounced on the ground a few times and broke into pieces.
"I'm not sick, what do you want to take this pill for?" the emperor roared, and immediately glanced at Mrs. Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and stretched out his hand to help her.
Mrs. Xiao stepped back slightly, missed his palm, and bowed again: "The daughter of the people, Guo Junyi, greets His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live long live!"
The old emperor paused with his hands in the air, and stood there for a long while, his face changed. After a long time, he withdrew his hands and sighed: "Miss Guo, get up quickly! Gao Ping, help Miss Guo get up!"
Eunuch Gao walked over and wanted to help Miss Guo, Madam Xiao kowtowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness." She stood up lightly, with a faint smile on her face.
Lin Wanrong saw the emperor's expression in his eyes, and felt very strange. The old emperor looks weak and even useless on the outside, but his skill and perseverance are unmatched by anyone. Anyone who despises him will definitely suffer a big loss. I believe that King Cheng feels the most deeply. Such an emperor who can't express his emotions and anger, but he looks like this when he sees Mrs. Xiao, could it be that between them-
Lin Wanrong glanced at the two of them, and saw the emperor's eyes flashing sharply, staring closely at Madam Xiao, as if he wanted to swallow Madam Xiao. Mrs. Xiao stood lightly by the side, her eyebrows drooping, and a flat smile on her face, she was extremely calm!
adultery! Lin Wanrong slapped her palm, fuck, no wonder Mrs. Xiao has been a widow for many years, and treats everyone as cold as ice. It turns out that there has been a lot of trouble with the emperor! I knew that my wife was not simple, but I didn't expect her to marry the emperor. It's terrible, it's really terrible!
"Miss Guo, how have you been all these years?!" The emperor looked at Mrs. Xiao, with a gleam in his eyes, and said softly: "Twenty years, in the blink of an eye! See you now, miss, you are still the same as before!" I am so glamorous, but I am already old, these days are really unforgiving!"
"Thank you for the emperor's condolences. All the daughters are well." Mrs. Xiao bowed and replied, her expression was very flat, and there was no sign of collusion.
It turned out that there was a hook and no match. It seems that the emperor also missed. Lin Wanrong smiled, but heard the emperor sigh: "Miss Guo, I haven't seen you for twenty years. How come you have a lot of life? I still like to hear you call Zhao Zhao." Mr. In the past, I became friends with my young lady for forgetting the years, researched knowledge, wrote poems and lyric words, little by little, has always appeared in front of my eyes, and it is still unforgettable until now."
Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly, as if recalling the past years, she shook her head and said: "Junyi was young and ignorant in the past, and did not know the real identity of the emperor, I hope the emperor will forgive me."
The emperor smiled wryly and said: "If I had known that Ms. Guo was so alien to me, I would rather be that nameless Mr. Zhao. If the situation in Beijing and China hadn't been complicated in the past, and my father didn't want to get involved in disputes, I am afraid that Ms. Guo and I have already been intimate—"
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has been married for many years and has never had any wishful thinking. In the past, I met Mr. Zhao because of his extraordinary talents and knowledge, and Junyi has been talking about it for a long time. But it is not only Mr. Zhao, I met Mr. Zhao back then. There is also Liu Dongsheng, the number one scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jia Fan, a well-known gentry in the Southwest, they are all my friends, just like my husband, and there is no relationship between a man and a woman. Junyi is deeply sorry if you have misunderstood me." Mrs. Xiao's eyes were clear, and she spoke firmly. She has been a widow for many years, and she has been strictly adhering to women's morals and keeping herself clean. It is well known in Jinling that she is firm in her determination.
I can't listen anymore, the old emperor was rejected, who knows if he will become angry and click me? Lin Wanrong clasped his fists together and said, "Your Majesty, since you and your wife are old acquaintances, you can chat slowly. Xiaomin took his wife and continued to visit this house. You two are very chatty. Resign, resign!"
A glint of appreciation flashed in the emperor's eyes, even if you are a kid, you know how to advance and retreat. Mrs. Xiao's expression became anxious, and she was about to speak when Lin Wanrong rushed out of the room with Qiaoqiao flying into the Huayuan, and then let out a long breath.
Qiaoqiao glanced at him, hesitated to speak. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Babe, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Qiaoqiao hummed, looked worriedly into the room and said: "Brother, we left Madam there alone, it seems, it seems—"
"It doesn't seem good, does it?" Lin Wanrong continued with a smile.
Qiaoqiao shook her head hastily, and said anxiously: "Brother, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that Madam came out with us, and the Emperor obviously covets her. I'm always a little worried about leaving her alone!"
Lin Wanrong stroked her hair and smiled slightly: "Silly girl, are you relieved to leave you there too? I think it should be even more worrying!"
Qiaoqiao bit her red lips, said lightly: "But Madam is there alone, just in case, what if—"
"No chance." Lin Wanrong took her little hand and walked towards Yuanzi: "The reason why the emperor is an emperor is that he is more tolerant than ordinary people. If he wants to be strong, even if we are all there, we can't help Xiao Ma'am, what's the matter? It's better to give them space and let them end it directly. Without outsiders, Madam will have less scruples when speaking, and the emperor will not lose face in front of outsiders, wouldn't it be better."
Xiao Nizi thought about it carefully. Feeling that what elder brother said was reasonable, he no longer worried, and dragged elder brother to wander around the house. The mansion mentioned by the emperor was indeed true. This mansion occupies a large area, with gorgeous decorations, layers of buildings, and three gardens. In addition to the front garden and the back garden, there is also a smaller garden in the inner house, which is only for the closest people in the inner house to enjoy and enjoy. It's just that this house has been idle for many years, and there is too much dust, I am afraid that it will need to be cleaned thoroughly before moving in.
The two walked forward from the back door, and when they got to the front, they saw a deep courtyard and wide corridors, which were completely different from the narrowness of the back door. The two passed through the gate, looked forward, and were stunned for a moment. It turned out that this place was facing the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, and opposite was the moat of the Imperial Guard City. The guards on the Jinyu Bridge could be seen faintly.
Lin Wanrong turned his head to look in front of his house, and saw that the main entrance was painted with vermilion, and the beam was wide enough to push five sedan chairs side by side. On the lintel, hung two large characters - Lin Fu! Two stone lions carved from refined rock are as tall as a man, standing on both sides, very mighty.
"Little baby, how is our family?" Master Lin said triumphantly.
Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Brother, our house is so big! It's two or three times bigger than Miss Jinling's house!"
Lin Wanrong chuckled: "I have to feed a lot of people, so the house must be bigger. The old emperor is still not confused. Hehe, what's so great about Dongzhimen Street, I don't even care about them. The back door of our house is only open." In Dongzhimen. After you all have babies, I will build a swimming pool at home, build a racetrack, and make a big love bed—little baby, you must have never seen this love bed, let me give it to you Tell me about its function, you can preview it first!"
Qiaoqiao heard Yu Yan blushing, and lowered her head with a groan, not daring to speak, Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter if you listen to it, I will practice in the future—"
He was spitting and splashing, recommending the "Buddha arch" function of the Huan'ai bed to Qiaoqiao, his eyes swept away, but he saw that there was a big house on the left and right of his main entrance, the scale was not smaller than his own mansion. On the main gate of the house on the left is written "Li's Mansion", while the plaque on the door of the house on the right is "Xu's Mansion". [Paradise Kiss Hand Slap]
Mr. Lin, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a false title, but he is really favored by the emperor. The mansion bestowed by him is already top-notch in Beijing, but the mansions of "Li Mansion" and "Xu Mansion" are no better than his It is conceivable that the grace can have such a grand scale.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the door on the right opened with a bang, and a woman came out from inside, with a delicate smile, like a peach blossom, and nodded slightly to him.
Lin Wanrong was taken aback and said, "Miss Xu, why are you here?"
"That's what I asked—" Ms. Xu smiled and said, "This is my home, if I'm not here, where else?"
Oops, it turned out that we were neighbors with Old Xu, and this incident caused trouble. He laughed and said, "That's how it is, Ms. Xu, we will be neighbors from now on. Haha, I finally found a place to eat."
Qiaoqiao squeezed his wrist lightly: "Brother, since I'm here, I'll cook for you every day from now on, okay?"
Miss Xu snorted and said, "Lin San, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you'll change your appearance again. Why, don't you want to be a son-in-law?"
Lin Wanrong was about to answer when he saw Eunuch Gao rushing from far away: "Master Lin, Lord Lin, the emperor wants to see you!"
see me? Isn't he "reminiscing about the old days" with his wife? Lin Wanrong wondered: "Eunuch, isn't the emperor talking to Miss Guo? Why do you want to see me again?" "
Eunuch Gao pursed his lips to the back, Lin Wanrong looked up and saw Madam Xiao standing behind Eunuch Gao, looking at him with a smile and saying, "It's hard for you to remember me, I ran faster than a rabbit just now!"
"Well, I don't want to delay you two reminiscing about the old days." Lin Wanrong laughed: "Madam, how is your talk with the emperor, did you hook up, oh no, is there any progress?"
Mrs. Xiao gave him a charming look, and snorted: "You are the only one who will make trouble for any progress. Mr. Zhao and I are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. It's just a few gossips, it has nothing to do with other things."
"That is, that is, ma'am, you are loyal, strong and unyielding, and you are really a role model for us to learn from." Lin Wanrong smiled coyly, and Miss Xu over there was startled, and hurried over and said: "Aunt Guo, Aunt Guo, really is it you?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at her carefully, and said after deliberation: "Are you—"
"I'm Zhiqing, Aunt Guo, I'm Zhiqing!" Miss Xu said excitedly.
"Zhiqing?!" Mrs. Xiao took her hand and said, "Are you really Zhiqing?!"
Ms. Xu nodded slightly, and the two hugged each other tightly, tears dripping down. Ms. Xu lost her mother when she was young and has a stubborn temper. Thanks to Mrs. Xiao's care in the past, she has a very deep affection for her. The two hadn't seen each other for many years, so they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Master Lin naturally didn't understand the relationship between them, and he didn't intend to. Appreciating these two women who are like flowers is what he wants to do most now. These two women, Mrs. Xiao is like a mature crabapple, Xu Zhiqing is like a gorgeous hibiscus, they are both overripe peaches, and their bodies are naturally good. Seeing them hugging each other, Mrs. Lin swallowed her saliva, A word suddenly popped up in my mind-true love "right and right".
"My lord, my lord—" An indifferent voice sounded in his ear, Lin Wanrong said impatiently: "Who, don't block me from watching the game—"
"My lord, is the emperor still waiting for you?" Eunuch Gao asked hastily.
"Oh, that's it!" Master Lin reluctantly turned his eyes away from Miss Xu's chest, but saw Miss Xu's eyes widened with anger, and she gave him a hard look, as if she had noticed his behavior just now.
If Mr. Lin is shy, all the roosters in the world will lay eggs. He glanced at her without showing any weakness, laughed a few times and said, "Miss Xu, go ahead. Show your true love and send love, the tighter you hug, the more true the love. Sigh, I am so touched."
"Despicable, shameless, hateful, and obscene!" Miss Xu hummed vigorously.
"Zhiqing, who are you talking about?!" Mrs. Xiao was beside Xu Zhiqing, and asked after hearing the words.
"Oh, it's nothing! I was just kidding." Miss Xu said embarrassedly: "Aunt Guo, where did we just talk about?"
Eunuch Gao managed to drag Mr. Lin away, but he sighed helplessly in his heart. When the emperor summoned his courtiers, who was not sincere and terrified, and even crawled in without time to fasten his trouser pockets. Why is Mr. Lin different from others? ! The emperor's vision is indeed unique.
Eunuch Gao dragged him along and said, "Lord Lin, speaking of it, I have been with the emperor for decades, but I have never seen anyone who has received the same favor as you. I went to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense. When I came here, I suddenly remembered the house that was given to you yesterday, so I wanted to come and have a look. After looking at it for half an hour, I asked the craftsmen to renovate it as soon as possible so that you can move in. The emperor respects you His care makes even a slave like me envious!"
It turned out that this was the case, and I asked why the emperor suddenly appeared here. Xian'er is my wife, and the emperor is my father-in-law. He should treat me well, and I should treat him well.
Walking in front of the main hall, Eunuch Gao pointed to a side room and said softly, "Lord Lin, go in by yourself, the emperor is inside!"
Pushing open the door and entering, the old emperor turned his back to the door, with his hands behind his back, staring at a portrait on the wall in a daze. Lin Wanrong looked up, and saw the woman in the painting, wearing a light yellow gown, with picturesque eyebrows and a calm expression, she was Mrs. Xiao when she was young.
The old emperor is a long-term lover, but it's a pity that King Xiang has a heart and Goddess has no intentions, so I really feel sorry for him. Lin Wanrong sympathized with the old man in his heart, so he said softly, "Old man—"
The old emperor waved his hand, pointed to the woman on the painting and said, "Lin San, do you recognize her?"
"Yes, it's Mrs. Xiao!"
"Wrong!" The emperor snorted, "When I knew her, she wasn't Mrs. Xiao, she was called Miss Guo! In the past, when the two kings fought for the throne, if old man Guo hadn't pretended to be noble and didn't want to participate in it, I would have asked for marriage a long time ago. Well, Junyi is now my beloved concubine, maybe the prince has given birth to me a few times! The hateful old man Guo, is determined to go his own way, harming others and himself. In order to avoid party disputes, he resigned from office and sneaked Betrothed Junyi to someone else. By the time I learned the truth, she would have been in Jinling thousands of miles away. Tell me, is he hateful, is he hateful?!"
The emperor slapped the table heavily, coughed violently, and shouted sharply. Even Lin Wanrong, who was fearless, couldn't help frowning. He had also been in contact with the emperor quite a few times, and he had a deep feeling for the emperor's palace. As an emperor, he was always happy and angry, and this old emperor was deeply impressed by the essence. Only this time, he was furious because of Mrs. Xiao, and it seemed that he really had a soft spot for Mrs. Xiao.
"This." Lin Wanrong sighed softly: "Your Majesty, Miss Guo's matter is over. Whether you admit it or not, she is not called Guo Junyi now, but Mrs. Xiao. Even if she is a widow, she can Mrs. Xiao has a steadfast character, she will not submit to you."
"No? Why not? If twenty years ago, I was the mighty Emperor Dahua, even if Junyi was someone else's wife. If I wanted to accept her into the palace, who would dare to say no!" The emperor snorted, a pale color appeared on his ruddy face, and his breathing became more and more rapid: "Twenty years ago, twenty years ago—"
He muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly opened wide, with a murderous look on his face, he flicked his sleeves violently. He smashed all the teapots and cups on the table to the ground, and roared angrily, "Zhao Mingcheng, I will never live with you!!!"
He looked terrified, coughed sharply, his face was flushed like blood, and he collapsed limply on the chair.
My god, don't die, then there is really nothing to play. Lin Wanrong hurried over, supported him and said, "Your Majesty, old man, how are you, Eunuch Gao, Eunuch Gao—"
"Don't call him!" The emperor slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, but with undeniable power.
"Old man, your illness—" Lin Wanrong said anxiously.
"I'm not sick!" The emperor smiled sinisterly: "Lin San, look at me! You have to remember, I'm not sick. Do you know?"
Looking at his old and pale cheeks, for some reason, Lin Wanrong felt uncomfortable for a while, turned his head and said: "Old man, it's all like this, please stop saying a few words, I know what to say!"
The emperor glanced at him and snorted, "Lin San, your biggest weakness is that your hands are too soft and your heart is not hard enough. Do you know what power is?"
Without waiting for Lin Wanrong to shake his head, he continued: "Power is to make you forget your parents, brothers, wife and children. You will only remember a chair, a chair of the highest in the world! For him, you can do anything and dare to do anything." Do it! Lin San, pat your chest and ask, can you do it?!"
The old emperor was crazy. He asked me what I was doing. Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "Old man, I haven't thought about it. I'm in a different position from you, so I won't think about those things. Position, do not seek his own government."
"If you're not in your position, you don't want to seek government?" The emperor gave him a deep look: "If you were in my position, what would you do?"
This topic is a bit outrageous, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Your Majesty is just kidding, I am now a little servant, and by the way, also a deputy minister of the Ministry of Officials, I am very content, but I have no other ideas!"
The emperor's face gradually turned, and he smiled slowly: "Just kidding, maybe it's a joke. Lin San, do you know why I hang the plaque of the number one in the world on the back door of your house?"
"Probably because the back door of my house was broken, that's why I got a heavyweight plaque to guard the backyard." Mr. Lin analyzed decently.
"Guard the backyard?!" The emperor wished he could press the boy's head on the ground and step on the ground a few times, he smiled instead: "You Lin San is the first one who dares to guard the backyard with my plaque. Yes. Didn’t you see that I won’t cut off your head?!”
Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "Old man, I think we are a little bit destined, maybe even a little bit related. What's the use of that sign hanging on my back door?"
The emperor shook his head and smiled wryly: "I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Others want to empty their hearts and livers to understand my words. You are the only one who wants to explain it to you personally. I will give you a plaque on the main hall." , is to let everyone know that you have strength, and I trust you! And the plaque is hung on the back door of your house to remind you—"
"Remind me to be patient!" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Isn't it?!"
The emperor nodded with a smile: "It turns out that you have guessed it a long time ago, but you still deceive me. I should chop your head off!"
Lin Wanrong looked at him and sighed softly: "Master, how comfortable it is to talk to you like this! It's better than anything else to take care of your health."
There was mist in the emperor's eyes, he turned his head and said loudly: "Lin San, do you still have the gold medal I gave you?"
"Yes." Lin Wanrong smiled and took out the gold medal.
The emperor snatched it away, and laughed loudly: "Very good, very good, I reward you with one thing." He patted his palm lightly twice: "Fairy Ning—"
A delicate figure fluttered down like a ghost, standing in front of Lin Wanrong, that beautiful face made Master Lin stunned, and said in surprise: "Fairy Ning?! Ning Yuxi?!"
"Lin San, I will give her to you—"
