Chapter 146 You May Be Your Father's External Courage
Chapter 146 You might be your father's external courage
Mrs. Lin couldn't stand watching his silly daughter. She poked Minister Lin and said, "Hurry up and pull your daughter down!"
How can this be so dirty!
Minister Lin looked at her silently and refused silently. Can he pull someone down casually? If he could control this girl, would so many things happen?
Everyone was particularly silent during this dinner. The two parties were chatting happily in their hearts.
Bai Xiao: [I tell you, that Wumula is about to arrive in the capital. He should arrive tomorrow. ]
Lin Mo: [If you didn't say it, I would have almost forgotten this person. He is the one who wants to climb up the social ladder. Is it from Xijiang or the Western Regions? Bai Xiao
: Could you please be more careful with the melons? They were sent by the Jade Country, not by the two countries you mentioned.
Everyone present was a little confused when they heard the three words "no more", but they remembered it after Lin Mo reminded them.
The Crown Princess secretly glared at the Crown Prince, who was helpless.
Lin Mo did not notice that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and she began to eat the melons enthusiastically.
I remember that person seemed to have taken a fancy to the Crown Prince, right? What should she do if the Crown Prince and the two princes don't want her?
Who said that they must accept people when they come? If they don't accept them, what should the woman do?
Bai Xiao: [They have already made plans. Even if the Crown Prince and the two princes do not accept her, they plan to keep Wumula to accompany the Queen. They can more or less cultivate some feelings. If the relationship is cultivated well, the Queen will adopt her as her adopted daughter. If she is given the title of county lord or princess, then they will make a fortune!]
Queen: ...Does she think I am a fool?
She is full and supports any unrelated woman as her daughter. It is not that she does not have a daughter, but that the daughter is married far away.
Besides, life in the palace is difficult now. If there is another freeloader, it will
be unacceptable! [Let me tell you, this Wumula is face-blind and cannot recognize people. Bai Xiao
talked about Wumula in detail. She had this problem since she was a child. She couldn't tell who was who among people of similar age. Moreover, the portrait of the prince she collected was actually the portrait of the third prince.
The third prince, who was eating heartily, said: What does this have to do with me? I married my wife with great difficulty, don't mess with me!
Everyone lost their appetite and started to eat melons.
Lin Mo asked with special interest: Tell me in detail what happened. She wouldn't mistake someone for someone else the moment she arrived. Bai Xiao
answered while eating: [Then I don't know. After all, who knows what hasn't happened yet? But she is obsessed with the portrait of the third prince every day. Oh, in fact, the portrait of the crown prince was given to her at first, and there was also a portrait of the third prince. She couldn't tell who was who, and then she took the portrait of the third prince by mistake.]
Everyone was a little speechless when they heard this. It was the first time they heard of such a thing.
The crown prince and the third prince don't look alike. One is steady and handsome, and the other is jumpy and shrewd.
To use Lin Mo's words before, the third prince has a particularly smart face, looks a bit like a fox, and the turn of his eyes makes people feel that he is plotting.
Although he looks smart, he is not very smart.
The prince is the type of steady, handsome and gentle, and looks more like the queen. The two brothers look similar except for the minor features, but they are not alike in general.
Even if they are born from the same mother, it is impossible not to recognize them. They are not twins. This Umula is really terrible.
The third prince couldn't eat this meal. It tasted delicious at first, but when he thought about his portrait being looked at every day, he felt disgusted.
After returning to his room, he hugged the third prince's wife and started to act coquettishly.
"Wuwuwuwu, so disgusting, so disgusting, that woman is really disgusting, how can she not tell me apart from my elder brother! What if she comes to bother me tomorrow?" She
looked really likable with such a little foxy face, at least the Third Prince's wife liked it very much.
She touched the Third Prince's face, and the Third Prince squinted his eyes comfortably and put his face towards her hand.
The Third Prince's wife stroked the Third Prince's head and said, "Don't worry, I won't let that woman get close to you, and you have to be smart, or you won't know what you are plotting against."
People sent by this foreign race, whether male or female, must be guarded against, because no one knows what they are thinking.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao fell asleep comfortably after the news broke, leaving the others to suffer from insomnia.
Everyone was actually looking forward to seeing Wumula tomorrow, mainly because they wanted to know if she could tell the difference between the crown prince and the third prince.
Minister Lin was quite busy, and he had to do the things he received, so he was busy until midnight and didn't sleep.
Early the next morning, the carriages of the Jade Kingdom had arrived, and they were heading to the temporary palace.
"This Dayong is so prosperous, can I really live here?" Wumula saw many beautiful scenery along the way, and the scenery here has already captured her heart.
The maid beside her said with a smile: "Miss, the king has said that as long as you marry the crown prince of Dayong or the other two princes, you can stay here forever."
Dayong is vast and powerful. They have seen it all along the way. The more they see, the weaker they feel their country is.
Wu Mula snorted, took out a small mirror and began to admire her beauty. "I am so beautiful, I can definitely marry the crown prince."
She is the most beautiful woman in the noble family, otherwise she would not have been selected and sent here. She has not seen how beautiful the women of Dayong are all along the way.
In fact, it is mainly because they are walking on small roads. They dare not walk on the busy roads. The two people they occasionally see on the small roads are ordinary villagers. How good-looking can they be with dusty faces?
However, seeing these people has boosted Wu Mula's self-confidence.
When Lin Mo was dragged by his father to greet him, he was completely confused.
[Why am I here again! Last time I greeted the Second or Third Prince, and this time I greeted the Jade Country envoy. Is Dad afraid of working alone?]
Bai Xiao: [Maybe, you might just be your father's external courage.]
Minister Lin next to him: ...Do you think I am willing to bring you here? It's the Emperor's request!
The Emperor said that we should see what the foreigners have, and we should seize the opportunity!
Chapter 147 I have never seen such a big injustice!
Chapter 147 I have never seen such a big wronged person!
The performance of the envoys of the Jade Kingdom is still relatively humble, so everyone has a good impression of them.
As for that Wumula, she looks quite proud.
Lin Mo took a look at Wumula's appearance, and was really confused in his heart.
[This person is not that good-looking, why is she said to be the number one beauty, there are many girls in our capital who are prettier than her. ]
Lin Mo really thinks that this person is not the type that makes people stunning, let alone compared with her sister, even any of the noble girls in the capital can outdo her.
And this person looks too proud, which makes her appearance have a hint of arrogance and domineering, which makes her look even more unpleasant.
Bai Xiao huddled in Lin Mo's sleeves and said: [It was originally exaggerated. There are many people who are prettier than her. It's just that she has a high status so everyone flatters her.]
[And who wants their daughter to marry to another country? No one wants the title of the most beautiful woman, so naturally it falls on her.]
People present: ??? Is this okay?
At first sight, Wu Mula was attracted by Minister Lin who was standing in the front.
She whispered to the maid beside her: "Are all the officials here so good-looking? Isn't the Crown Prince even more outstanding!"
The maid was also amazed at the beauty of Minister Lin, "Probably, this Dayong official is more handsome than our Third Prince."
Everyone in the palace was ready. The Jade Kingdom brought a lot of gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, food and wine, and several large carriages.
The emperor and the empress's eyes lit up when they saw these gold, silver and jewelry. No matter what beauty, nothing can compare to these gold, silver and jewelry.
"Greetings to the Emperor and Empress! Today is the Empress's birthday, and the King has sent a special minister to congratulate her."
"Get up, you have all been through a long journey and you have all worked hard, please take your seats."
Emperor Xuande was still quite dignified at this time, and he looked like a very serious emperor.
Looking at the large group of people kneeling on the ground, Lin Mo began to look for melons.
[Xiaobai, look at these people to see if there are any shocking melons. I saw that the man in the middle has a sly look and doesn't look like a good person.]
Bai Xiao stuck his head out to take a look, and then said: [Don't judge a person by his appearance. Although the man in the middle doesn't look like a good person, he is a big villain.]
Hearing the three words "big villain", everyone's attention was drawn to him.
Now they have accepted a lot of new words, and they also know that "big wrongdoer" is not a good word.
Lin Mo looked at the man, [Are you sure he is a big wrongdoer? Why do I feel like he is a traitor?
Bai Xiao: [What traitor has raised a child for someone else? This man is terrible. His mother took advantage of him coming here to celebrate the empress's birthday and has arranged for his wife to be with his younger brother.]
Lin Mo's pupils shook when he heard this: [Are you sure? His mother is crazy! She actually arranged for her eldest daughter-in-law to be with her younger brother!]
Lord Li's hand holding the pen trembled. Such shocking things are really rare!
The emperor and empress sitting on the upper seats looked at the envoy in the middle with pity in their eyes.
The whole banquet was filled with toasts, and everyone looked at the envoy with complicated eyes.
[This man has not been favored since he was a child. His mother always favored his younger brother. Later, he became an official to prove himself, but his mother still favored his younger brother. Now his younger brother and his whole family are supported by him. ] [
He now has a large family business and a title. His mother doesn't like this eldest son so she did such a thing. The eldest daughter-in-law was with the youngest son and then got pregnant. Naturally, this man's title will fall to the descendants of the youngest son.
Don't you think this man is a big scapegoat? ] Lin Mo was stunned when he heard this. There was actually such a thing! What on earth does this man's mother want!
You are too partial to them, both of them are your sons, there is no need for you to do this!
Even Emperor Xuande who was sitting above felt that this was not a human thing to do.
Although the late emperor was partial to his children, he was not so partial.
In this comparison, the late emperor was actually a good one. It turns out that people still need to be compared.
The envoy drank happily, not knowing that he had become a person of pity.
If they were people from their own country, they would take care of them anyway, but the problem is that they are people from other countries, and the emperor is far away and can't do anything about it.
As soon as Wumula sat down, he began to look for the target. This banquet was relatively free. Everyone sang and danced. The prince and the two princes had already played with those young masters, so the target was still difficult to find.
"Which one is the prince? The child is the best-looking one, right?" Wumula felt that these people looked too similar.
She quietly took out the portrait and compared them one by one.
Then she turned her eyes to Lin Qi who was drinking with Huayao County Lord.
Lin Mo had been paying attention to Wumula all the time. When she looked at her brother, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
[Why is this woman looking at my brother! Could it be that she mistook my brother for the prince?]
The prince hiding in the crowd showed a triumphant smile.
Hahaha, he deliberately hid in the crowd. Since this person has prosopagnosia, it is safest to hide in the crowd.
Lin Qi turned his head quickly when he heard his sister's words, and Huayao County Lord was the first to block Lin Qi.
Wumula didn't care about so much, and her brain couldn't think so much.
Under the gaze of everyone, she walked towards Lin Qi step by step with a wine glass in hand.
Everyone was watching the show and wanted to see how Lin Qi would solve this scene.
But just when Wumula was about to walk in front of Lin Qi, Lin Mo grabbed her collar.
"What are you doing!"
Lin Mo put her hands on her waist and raised her head, her eyes narrowed. If her face was not dark, she would be quite imposing.
Wumula was frightened by her black face, "Who are you!"
How can there be such a black person in the world! And she looks like a woman. A woman who looks like this might as well die.
Lin Mo pulled her away and said arrogantly: "Why do you want to get close to my brother? Can't you see that my brother is already taken?"
Brother? This little black girl is a princess!
Wumula stared at her with wide eyes, "You, you are a princess!"
Chapter 148 The Not-So-Smart Umura
Text size: , ,
Wumula's words shocked everyone. Even Lin Mo felt that this person's brain was a little bit off.
[Is she okay? Didn't she ask about it if she wanted to marry into a rich family? The princesses have been married for a long time.]
Lin Mo touched his face. Did she look very similar to the emperor? That shouldn't be the case. She is famous for looking like her father.
Bai Xiao also felt that this woman's brain was not very smart: [He probably thinks that your brother is the prince. Doesn't this person know about clothes? The prince's clothes are so obvious. You can understand that the second and third princes are the princes, but it's a bit unbelievable to think that your brother is the prince.]
Everyone present felt that the king of Yu Kingdom had a problem with his brain. He actually sent such a stupid person here.
The envoys of the Jade Kingdom were also stunned by her bold move. The envoy closest to Wumula pulled her over and said, "Miss! What are you doing?"
It's easy to figure out that the prince can't be this. And how can this little black girl be a princess? There is no princess wearing court dress, and with this skin color, there shouldn't be concubines with this skin color in the emperor's harem. If there really is such a concubine, then the princess born will be too dark.
"Didn't you ask me to see the prince? The prince is here. I just want to have a drink with him, so what?"
Wumula said this very bluntly, and her voice was quite loud.
Everyone present: ... It can be confirmed that this woman's brain is a little bit not very smart.
"Miss, you've got the wrong person. The one in front of you is not the prince and I am not the princess. You can't just rush up to someone who looks good."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he touched his face: "I know I'm pretty, but it's a bit exaggerated to say I'm a princess. Do I look a lot like the emperor?"
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he looked at Wumula expectantly. Wumula, who was looked at by her, said:... How should I answer this dark face.
Minister Lin sighed and turned his head away. Out of sight, out of mind!
How can he praise this girl so bluntly? Her face is getting thicker day by day.
Emperor Xuande also didn't want to recognize this "daughter". He didn't have such a dark daughter.
Bai Xiao was almost laughing like crazy: [Why are you making things difficult for others? With your dark face, who can tell who you look like? The species you look most like now is the chimpanzee. ã
When Lin Mo heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. [You said I look like a chimpanzee, how can you be better? Don't forget that we have the same skin color! ã
The two quarreled again, and the language was full of personal attacks. The problem is that neither of them is a normal person. They can attack each other and themselves.
Fortunately, the foreign envoys can't hear their voices, otherwise they would lose face in front of outsiders.
Seeing that Wumula was taken away, Lin Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huayao County Master looked at his face that attracted bees and butterflies, and felt particularly unhappy.
"Why are so many people like your family?"
This family is also famous in the capital. Except for Lord Xiaolin, this family is the perfect object in the minds of others.
If Lord Xiaolin is not so jumpy, he is probably the dream lover of many people.
Lin Qi opened his big innocent eyes and said innocently: "It's not our fault. My parents gave birth to good-looking children and we were also good-looking. There's nothing we can do about it."
The people around who heard these words: ... Suddenly I want to stab someone. Why do I feel that this sentence sounds so annoying.
After Wumula was taken back, she was taught seriously which one is the crown prince, which one is the second prince, and which one is the third prince, and asked her to try not to recognize the wrong person.
"Did you see it? The one with dragon pattern on his body is the crown prince, the one wearing navy blue robe and peach blossom eyes is the second prince, and the one wearing light blue clothes and fox eyes is the third prince. The third prince looks smarter."
The envoy really told her the characteristics of the three princes one by one, and Wu Mula listened very carefully.
But in fact, she didn't listen at all. She was trying hard to identify the faces of the three people.
How can the three people look so similar! They don't seem to be born from the same mother, why can they look so similar!
"You will go to perform the dance later. You should be able to practice that dance well."
Looking at this unintelligent Wu Mula, the envoy was really worried.
If those princes and noble ladies were not willing to come, how could this matter fall on such an unintelligent person.
But it's okay, the less intelligent, the easier to control.
Listening to the nagging voice in her ear, Wumula was annoyed. "Okay, okay, I know everything you said. I have practiced that dance for more than half a year. How can I not dance well? Just wait and see me dazzle!" After
that, she looked at Lin Ran who was sitting among the noble ladies, "That woman is a threat to me. She will not perform a talent later."
Among the group of women, that woman is the most beautiful and seems to be of noble birth. Don't become a stumbling block for her.
Bai Xiao: [Mo Mo, Wumula regards your sister as an imaginary enemy.]
Lin Mo: ???
Lin Ran, who was chatting with friends: ???
What the hell, does this person have paranoia?
Chapter 149: Face Fell on the Second Prince's Butt
Chapter 149: Face Fell on the Second Prince's Buttocks
With the envoy about to collapse, Wumula finally got to the point.
She took the initiative to ask for a dance, so naturally everyone agreed. After all, it was good to have one more talent to watch.
Lin Mo was the first to find a place to squat and watch.
The peacock and the stupid beauty who were squeezed aside by her: ...
Wei Zhengan snorted softly, and then found a place to sit again with special tact. Qin Zheng was quite happy and chatted with Lin Mo.
"Master Xiaolin, can you perform any talent? Will you go up to perform your talent later? If you go up to perform your talent, I will applaud you."
Qin Zheng really carried the word "stupid beauty" to the extreme.
Lin Mo patted his chest and said confidently: "I have many talents. I can sing, dance, carve jade and play the erhu."
Qin Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Master Xiao Lin is really versatile!
Wei Zhengan, who was listening to her words, said: ...
He had never seen her sing and dance, but she was really impressed by the erhu. He had never seen anyone else play the erhu at his birthday party.
Not to mention, although this Wu Mu La doesn't look very smart, she dances really well.
Her waist is as charming and affectionate as a willow branch, and Lin Mo watched with great interest.
[Hehehe, beautiful women are really good-looking. Although this person is not smart, she dances quite well. ]
Bai Xiao cracked melon seeds and said: [That's right, she has been practicing this dance for more than half a year. ã
Wumula was spinning in the middle, looking at the three princes.
The prince suddenly had a bad premonition, and he silently approached the second prince.
Wumula was spinning in circles and approaching the prince step by step, and everyone was watching this scene.
Emperor Xuande couldn't help but stretch his neck to watch, he wanted to see how his son would deal with this situation.
"Ouch!" When Wumula jumped to the closest point again, he suddenly cried out and fell to the prince in front of him.
The prince was quick to grab the second prince who was drinking next to him.
Then the second prince lay on the prince's legs, and after Wumula fell down, his face fell on the second prince's butt.
At this time, the whole environment was quiet, and even the singing and dancing stopped.
Lin Mo widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, [Wow! Is it so exciting! This is the real feeling of being in a bad mood! ã
Bai Xiao: [Tsk tsk tsk, I really want to know how the second prince and Wu Mula feel at this moment. The second prince's butt has been molested. ã
The emperor and the empress sitting above looked at each other and turned their heads at the same time.
But their slightly trembling lips and shoulders exposed them.
No, they can't laugh! They represent the face of a country! They can't fail to manage their image at this time!
"Ah ah ah ah ah! Pah pah pah pah pah!"
Wu Mula screamed and climbed up from the ground, then slapped the second prince on the butt. The crisp sound made everyone's heart skip a beat.
The second prince was lying in his eldest brother's arms, and he was completely confused, especially his burning butt reminded him that he had just been spanked.
Seeing his second brother being beaten, the third prince rushed over and subdued him.
"How dare you attack the prince! Where do you get the courage from! Don't you want this head on your shoulders?"
How dare you hit his second brother in front of him!
The prince was a little embarrassed and helped the second prince up, "Second brother, are you okay? Does it hurt when she hit you just now? There is no need to call a doctor."
The second prince nodded and shook his head with a dull look.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao are still watching the joke at this moment.
Lin Mo: [Fortunately, it was not installed on the prince's buttocks. The prince has a bad stomach. If he really farted on someone else's face, it would be really funny.]
Bai Xiao: [Yes, yes, but the prince is really too mean. He actually used the second prince as a shield. ã
The people around who heard these words actually thought that what they said made sense. If the prince really farted in someone else's face, it would be really hard to explain.
I said this as a joke before, but it's better not to do it if it's really done. After all, the prince is the heir apparent of a country, and he represents the image of their country.
The Second Prince's wife looked at her husband's dazed look, and said with a bit of amusement: "Don't be dazed, the other party is the one who is hurt more by this matter."
Although she felt a little unhappy in her heart, after all, it was her husband who was taken advantage of, and her husband's butt was slapped so crisply just now.
But when she saw that Wu Mu La hadn't calmed down yet, her unhappy mood turned into laughter.
The second prince looked at the second prince's wife's face, which was trying not to laugh, and said a little sadly: "Still laughing! Don't you know that I just took advantage of you?"
"My image is all gone now! How can that woman be so shameless!"
"And you, big brother! Do you have so many brothers? You actually used me as a shield!"
He was just watching his big brother's good show, but who knew that in just a moment he was pulled over to be a shield, and then his butt was hit in the face, and finally he was slapped.
The Crown Princess and the Third Prince's wife were almost laughing crazy, but the Crown Prince looked apologetic.
"I'm so sorry, second brother, I couldn't react in time. I wanted to dodge, but there were tables next to me and behind me, so I couldn't dodge."
A good talent show turned into a farce.
Wumula looked completely emotionally broken, and the Yu Kingdom envoys kept apologizing after they restrained him.
Emperor Xuande suppressed his smile and waved his hand to let them leave.
Although it was his son who was unlucky, it didn't stop him from laughing.
After the Yu Kingdom envoys left, the atmosphere suddenly became more cheerful.
"Hahahahaha!" The emperor was the first to burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, second brother, don't be so serious. I'm the one who suffered the most. I'm devastated."
The emperor's gloating words were not concealed at all, and he didn't care about his son's feelings at all. The
queen looked at the emperor unhappily, and then said to the second prince in a friendly voice: "Don't be depressed. What happened today was also an accident. It's also your brother's fault."
After that, she glared at her son, and the prince smiled awkwardly.
Although it was his fault, he didn't regret it. If he didn't do it, he would be the one who suffered.
A woman fell into his arms. If he was cheated, he didn't want to marry such a troublesome concubine.

Chapter 150 Dad, your head looks like a big watermelon
Then it was time for the ministers to present gifts.
To be honest, the gifts the Empress received on her birthday were much more valuable than those received by the Emperor on his birthday.
The Emperor's envious eyes were almost hilarious. Looking at those glittering gifts, he almost threw himself at them without caring about his image.
Eunuch Li kept saying beside him, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your image!"
Can we not be so ignorant? The national treasury is not so poor now!
Emperor Xuande took a breath and suppressed his excitement. Don't be excited, don't be excited. If it goes into the Empress' pocket, it goes into my pocket.
Husband and wife are inseparable. When you need money in the future, go to the Empress to get it.
(Empress: Haha, you are dreaming, what a joke!)
When the Lin family presented gifts, everyone's eyes were secretly on Lin Mo.
The gifts from Minister Lin and his friends were all quite normal, but there was a particularly conspicuous big black chicken among the normal gifts.
"Empress, this phoenix was carved by me personally, I hope you like it."
Lin Mo looked at the black black chicken and liked it more and more. At first, it was indeed a little bit unsatisfactory, but the longer he looked at it, the more comfortable he felt.
In short, her phoenix is âânot the type that makes people stunned at first glance, but it is definitely the type that is worth looking at.
Bai Xiao: [This black black chicken of yours is really unique among these gifts! ã
Moreover, the chicken is so black and fat. I don't know what the paint is made of. The color on the back can't be covered.
They originally wanted to paint this color into color later, but they couldn't cover it up no matter what they did.
Looking at this black chicken, the queen forced a smile, "Not bad, not bad, Lord Kobayashi's craftsmanship is superb and I like it very much."
The queen is indeed the queen. When she said this, her expression was particularly sincere, as if she liked this black chicken from the bottom of her heart.
The crown prince and the two princes especially admired the queen's expression management.
The queen mother is really worthy of being the queen mother. The mother of a country is different. If it were them, they would definitely not be so calm.
In fact, the queen is also constantly enlightening herself.
Calm down, it's just a black eel, it's carved from jade, it's worth money!
After admonishing herself like this, the queen's smile became even more sincere.
Looking at the queen's happy smile, Lin Mo was really cocky.
[I told you that this phoenix of mine, Queen Liangliang, would be particularly fond of it, Xiaobai, you definitely don't understand girls as well as I do, just admit defeat.]
Bai Xiao felt that this black eel would definitely not be liked by the queen, and the two of them even made a bet on it, with this month's pocket money at stake.
Bai Xiao looked at the queen's sincere smile and then at the black eel, and finally he really wondered if he didn't understand girls very well.
[It shouldn't be, is the queen's preference really so unique? ã
Empress: ...It's not that I have a unique hobby. I'm so sincere because of the money.
This birthday party was really lively. After the gifts were given, it was evening, and it was even more lively at night.
Those with talent performed and those without talent drank. This dynasty is not so restrained about banquets. Whether it is the emperor's birthday or the queen's birthday, it is basically a state of fun in the end.
As long as there is no mess at the banquet, it will be fine.
"This is unfair. Why can you drink but I can't! Who are you trying to fool with this fruit juice!"
Lin Mo was holding her wine glass and arguing with her father.
She thought her glass was filled with wine, but it turned out to be fruit juice. She had to change it to wine anyway.
Minister Lin looked at her and snorted, his tone was particularly disdainful, "Do you still need others to look down on you? You drink with your alcohol tolerance. Have you forgotten how you looked when you were drunk last time?"
This person really has no self-awareness at all. I don't know where she got the confidence in her alcohol tolerance.
Lin Mo said with a stiff neck: "A man is more impressed after three days of absence. I was the same person before. I am not the same person now. And it has been a long time. My alcohol tolerance now is not exaggerated. I can drink Xiaobai down!"
Bai Xiao, who was eating and drinking beside him: ...
No, what are you competing with me? How can I, a system that has just transformed into a human form, have an alcohol tolerance?
Minister Lin was also stunned by her shameless words. He glanced at Bai Xiao, whose mouth was full of food, and finally turned his head away without being able to bear to look at her.
Neither of these two people is trustworthy.
At this time, Eunuch Li came over with a pot of wine.
"Minister Lin, Master Xiao Lin, this is the flower wine that the Empress asked me to bring to you. The Empress measured it herself. This wine is not strong. The Empress knows that Xiao Ling is not a good drinker, so she specially asked me to bring this wine."
Lin Mo was immediately delighted when he heard this, "Then thank the Empress for me. My father doesn't allow me to drink, but now he has no excuse."
Bai Xiao also curiously leaned over to smell it, and it really smelled good.
Minister Lin sighed and didn't want to say anything.
He just hoped that this wine was not strong, otherwise he couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if he got drunk at the Empress' birthday party.
"Oh my! She drank the wine. Do you think she will really get drunk?" The Queen looked at Lin Mo like watching a play.
Emperor Xuande also looked at her very seriously. "She will get drunk. You don't know how much fun this girl has when she is drunk."
"Is this wine really not strong? I remember that the wine you brewed tasted quite intoxicating."
The Queen replied, "This wine is really not strong. It is what girls drink. She shouldn't be unable to drink even this little wine."
Facts have proved that Lin Mo's alcohol tolerance is indeed much better than before. At least this time she didn't go crazy.
But this time she went crazy with poetry.
"Dad, I wrote a poem. Please listen to it for me. It's a dark night with a big moon. My dad has a big head. Hahaha, what does a head look like? A big head looks like
a big watermelon!" "Dad, your head looks like a big watermelon!"
Minister Lin:...
Mrs. Lin was almost going crazy with laughter.
The people who were secretly watching this place were also going crazy with laughter. They had never seen anyone who wrote poems like this before.
Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Lin Mo rushed over and pushed him, "Watermelon dad, why don't you say anything? Shouldn't you be complimenting me now?"
Bai Xiao was sitting next to him and grinning. He didn't have a good alcohol tolerance and he couldn't drink after two glasses.
"Still complimenting you? You even described someone as a big watermelon. It's better that she doesn't hit you. Uncle Lin, hit her!"
Chapter 151 Two Little Tops Lead a Group of Tops
Chapter 151 Two little spinning tops lead a group of spinning tops
Looking at these two drunken lunatics, Minister Lin felt that his head was hurting.
The emperor and the empress were watching with great joy.
Lin Mo looked at Xi Zhou and suddenly stood up.
Minister Lin was startled by her sudden action.
"Xiao Bai, let's do a Hu Xuan dance, the kind that keeps spinning in circles."
Bai Xiao knew that kind of dance, "I know, I know, I can dance!"
Lin Mo smiled and pulled the peacock and the stupid beauty who were watching the show next to him over, "This kind of dance is more fun when there are more people, you guys come too!"
Peacock and the stupid beauty: ...
No, our relationship doesn't seem to be that good, in fact, you don't have to call us for everything.
"Master Xiaolin is going to perform, come on, hurry up and clear the space for Master Xiaolin."
"We haven't seen Master Xiaolin perform for a long time."
The last time she performed was at her own birthday party, and the suona she played was really amazing.
Hearing these nice words, Lin Mo was about to float to the sky.
"Where, where, come on, Master Li, you come too, Grand Master, you come too!"
The two old men were also pulled up, and they all looked dazed.
No, we don't need to dance at our age!
Lin Mo also pulled some people she was more familiar with, anyway, she pulled all the first-rank officials and second-rank officials she knew.
Looking at the large group of ministers on the stage, Emperor Xuande smiled, "This is the first time I have seen so many of you perform your talents. Come on, come on, the Queen is blessed on this birthday."
Under Lin Mo's urging, everyone began to spin in circles.
The people below the stage and the Emperor and Empress on the stage looked at the people on the stage, feeling like they saw a lot of spinning tops become spirits.
Some of those who were not very skilled would bump into others, but it was really fun to have so many people spinning together.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao danced very standardly, in short, they were two little spinning tops that became spirits.
"Hahahaha, here comes the little spinning top!"
Lin Mo turned his head and bumped into Bai Xiao, who staggered when she bumped into him.
"If you bump into me, I'll bump back!"
The two bumped into each other, scaring everyone else and making them run off the stage.
Their old bones couldn't stand the collision of these two people.
Now these two people were more like two spinning tops, you hit me and I hit you, Bai Xiao also activated the protection mechanism for them.
One second they were knocked down, and the next second they stood up and rushed over again.
The collision made them anxious, they were just playing at first but the two of them became serious.
"You hit me! I hit you!"
"You hit me first! You are unreasonable!"
Seeing that the two people were fighting, the emperor quickly asked someone to pull the two people apart.
"Ah, my! How come they are getting serious while playing? Pull them apart
quickly." After being pulled apart, the two people were still struggling. "Let me go, I have to compete with him!"
Lin Jiaxi couldn't stand this situation anymore. It was too embarrassing!
You said that the two people were dancing well and the perfect ending was also good, but these two people were actually getting serious while playing.
The little sister next to Lin Ran whispered, "Your sister and brother-in-law often fight."
Lin Ran: "It's not my brother-in-law. Do they look like they are enlightened?"
Speaking of this, she wanted to sigh. She really suspected that these two people were spirits.
In the end, it might be because of the alcohol. Not long after they were pulled apart, they fell asleep.
This birthday party was really lively, and the audience had seen enough.
"Hurry up and have someone carry them back to me, and have two people watch over them to make sure they don't get drunk to death."
Minister Lin was almost used to this kind of situation.
The queen was still talking about this matter when she went to bed at night.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do, you can ask Lady Xiaolin to come to the harem to play. We are usually quite bored in the harem. It would be so exciting to have such a lively person there."
Emperor Xuande said happily while lying on the bed: "That's fine. If you are bored, you can ask her to go, but you have to be prepared. This girl is not easy to deal with. Before she goes, you have to put all these things away first, so as not to be accidentally used up by this girl."
This is called just in case. They don't have so much money to let this girl use up.
Early the next morning, Lin Mo didn't want to face the memory of yesterday.
She could accept dancing, but he couldn't accept beating Bai Xiao on the stage.
"Ahhh! Why did they fight?"
Bai Xiao accepted it quickly. It was just a fight, and he didn't hit anyone else. If he hit someone and hurt them, he would be held responsible. What's the big deal about the two of them fighting ?
When he came to see Lin Mo, he actually comforted Lin Mo in a particularly good mood.
"Don't care so much. Why care so much? There is a saying that if we are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. Besides, isn't it normal for the two of us to fight? We are not hitting others."
Lin Mo was actually convinced by him after listening to these twisted theories.
That's right, they are not hitting others. If they fight, they will just hit themselves. What's wrong with hitting themselves?
After thinking about it, the two walked out in a good mood. Even if they were faced with other people's teasing, they could face it normally.
[Oh, you're embarrassed to see me, wishful thinking!]
Lin Mo was speechless about these people's bad taste. It was like an adult teasing a child. This person was just teasing her.
They were going to stay in this palace for seven days, which could be considered a spring outing.
Maybe their luck is really not that good today. Not long after they went out, they saw Wumula, who is now pestering Qin Zheng.
Yes, she mistook him again.
"I don't think he is the prince, you really mistook him!"
Qin Zheng was really annoyed. Why did this woman mistook someone for the prince every day? In her eyes, everyone is the prince?
Wumula didn't believe him at all and thought he was deliberately misleading her.
"Don't lie to me, our people told me that the prince is gentle and elegant, and you think he is the prince!"
Stupid beauty Qin Zheng:... Gentle and elegant is indeed the prince, but I just react slowly! You can think that I am gentle and elegant even if I react slowly. Do you have any knowledge at all!
Bai Xiao shook his head when he saw this scene. "It's really unlucky. The silly beauty didn't check the almanac before going out today."
Lin Mo: "By the way, doesn't the silly beauty often play with the peacock? Where is the peacock?"
Chapter 152 The drug knocked out the peacock
Chapter 152 The drug knocked the flower peacock unconscious
Aren't the two of them always playing together? Why is the stupid beauty left here alone today?
Bai Xiao: [Oh, he was drugged by a lady and locked in a room.]
Lin Mo: !!!
Qin Zheng who overheard by chance: !!!
The passing official and the eunuch and palace maid: !!!
Oh my God! Is it so exciting! Someone dared to make trouble at the Queen's birthday banquet, this is really desperate!
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me with such an expression, is there something wrong with my makeup today?" Looking at Qin Zheng's blank eyes, Wu Mu La thought Qin Zheng was knocked by her.
It took her two hours to put on her makeup today. She is absolutely charming, bright and generous.
Although there are many beauties here, none of them is as charming as her. Besides, I have heard that Dayong actually likes exotic beauties. Isn't she a real exotic beauty?
Qin Zheng was dizzy when he heard that his good friend, oh no, good friend was drugged and locked in a room. He couldn't hear what the woman in front of him was saying.
Lin Mo was also in a state of excitement. [Where is Kuaishou Hua Kongque imprisoned? I want to eat melons. Oh no, I want to save him! Could it be that some lady took a fancy to him and used this method to force him to have sex? Bai Xiao
answered excitedly: [How do you know? The daughter of the governor of Liangzhou came to Beijing to visit relatives. The governor of Liangzhou is the younger brother of the clan of Cheng'an Marquis. He sent his daughter to Beijing because he wanted this brother to help his daughter find a good marriage. ]
[Although Hua Kongque is not very smart, she has a good face, and she doesn't have any concubines. She was born in a noble family with simple relationships and no concubines. She is also good-looking, so the governor's daughter fell in love with Hua Kongque. ]
Lin Mo was really shocked when he heard it. If she fell in love with someone just by looking at him, why did she need to drug him?
[So Hua Kongque has been eaten up by someone else now? ]
This is what Lin Mo cares about most, and the others also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
There is no way, this melon is really big and smells good, they are also concerned about whether Wei Zhengan Qingchun is still alive.
Bai Xiao: [Don't worry, he is not alive yet. Wei Zhengan has a stress reaction to the drug. After taking it, not only is he not alive, but he has gone crazy. Now he is beating that woman.]
Lin Mo: ? ? ? It is still like this.
[If you want to go to the theater, I advise you to go early. If you are late, someone might die. The crazy peacock is really difficult to deal with. Oh, he is in the third compartment of the West Palace.]
Bai Xiao explained the location clearly, and the most important thing is that this room seems to be not far from where they live.
Lin Mo chuckled twice and ran away. Compared with the drugged melon, the melon in front of him is not worth mentioning.
The people behind him also followed him secretly. Qin Zheng wanted to leave, but he was stopped by the woman in front of him.
"Where are you going, Your Highness? Why don't I go with you?"
Looking at the woman in front of him with a bright smile, Qin Zheng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of my way quickly. I don't hit women, so don't force me!"
Wu Mula thought he was joking, so he still stood in front of him and said jokingly, "Your Highness, what are you joking about? Of course I know you won't hit women. The flowers here are in full bloom, why don't we go for a walk?"
Qin Zheng couldn't stand seeing someone who really didn't understand what he was saying in front of others, so he kicked the person down with a sweeping kick.
"I've already told you that I don't hit women but you forced me to do it. If you keep stopping me, it won't be as easy as knocking you down. Get out of my way!"
Qin Zheng ran away.
When Wumula was lying on the ground, he was completely confused. No, what happened just now!
How could a prince hit a woman?
Wumula's maid sighed as she looked at her young lady lying on the ground
, and she didn't know what to say. This young man was obviously not a prince. She didn't know why her young lady always misrecognized people, and no matter how she reminded her, she was very sure of her judgment.
At this moment in the room, the peacock was swaying in circles, with his hands open, spinning in circles while slapping the light of the young lady from the Ci family. At this moment, he was like a perfect windmill.
The lady of the governor's family was tied to a pillar by him and her face was almost swollen.
"Wuwuwuwu, let me go quickly, I'm going to tell my uncle, my uncle will never let you go!"
The lady of the governor's family of Liangzhou really thought that her uncle was very prestigious. Although Cheng'an Marquis had the title of Marquis, he had no real power, so his status in the capital was neither high nor low.
She was the only one who thought that her uncle had a high status. During her time in the capital, she really regarded herself as a noble lady who was high above everyone else, and she looked down on this or that person.
Marquis Cheng'an was quite interested in this distant niece, and he had found many people to look at for her, but she either thought one was not good-looking or that the other was of low status, or that the family was not rich. Anyway, there was no one that satisfied her.
After careful selection, she chose Wei Zhengan. As for why she didn't choose Qin Zheng, it was because she felt that Qin Zheng was not very smart. Although he was of noble birth, he was not worthy of her.
"La la la la, pa pa pa pa, this sound is so beautiful."
Wei Zhengan was in a daze now. He was spinning around and slapping people just because he thought it was fun, and he felt that he was not tying up the same person.
This must have paralyzed his nerves. What he saw was completely different from what normal people saw.
When Lin Mo rushed in, he saw the young lady of the Liangzhou governor's family who was beaten into a pig's head and Wei Zheng'an who was still spinning.
Wei Zheng'an raised his head when he heard the voice, and then rushed over with his eyes shining.
Lin Mo was so scared by his words that he took a big step back, "What are you doing! I'm warning you not to hit me, I won't hurt you if I hurt you."
Lin Mo made a Tai Chi move, and Bai Xiao followed suit.
"Hahahaha, Nail Rake! Why is Lord Xiaolin's Nail Rake here? Why did you bring your target to see me?"
Nail Rake: Lin Mo
Target of the Nail Rake: Bai Xiao
Lin Mo touched her face. No, her handsome face was nothing like a pig. Besides, her skin color was totally different from that of the Nail Rake!
Chapter 153 The Evil Family
Chapter 153 A Family of Evil People
"Save me, please save me, my uncle will definitely thank you if you save me, take this lunatic away quickly!"
The tied-up woman cried with snot and tears, she just wanted to find a good husband for herself, why was she beaten like this. How could
Wei Zhengan, who is so handsome, beat a woman, and beat her so hard.
Lin Mo looked at the woman who had been beaten beyond recognition, clicked his tongue twice and said in disgust: "I know Master Wei, she would never beat someone for no reason, tell me what you did."
After asking, Lin Mo still asked Bai Xiao worriedly: [I hope there is no serious injury to your body, do you want to ask the imperial physician to come first? ã
Bai Xiao: [No big damage, this Mingyue is made of mushroom powder, but the content of mushroom powder is not much. At most, it will paralyze the nerves and will not cause too much damage to the body. It can be metabolized by the body's own metabolism. ã
Looking at Wei Zhengan rolling on the ground with a silly smile, Bai Xiao said sympathetically: [It's really pitiful. You can call the imperial physician first and let him knock him out first, otherwise it's not good for him to go crazy. ã
The two looked at each other, and then rushed out to find Zhao the imperial physician.
The young lady of the governor's family who was looking forward to their rescue: ??? Why did you leave! At least let me go first!
The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple had already rushed here in a panic. He must be panicking when his own son is in trouble.
Lin Mo and his friends saw Doctor Zhao rushing over on the road.
Looking at the officials who were walking in a hurry, Lin Mo asked curiously: [Are they competing in the garden? These adults are quite leisurely and elegant.]
Bai Xiao: [Maybe they pay more attention to body management.]
Officials: ... Two little ancestors, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Master Wei now?
Lin Mo saw the situation in the crowd at a glance, and then rushed over in a flash. Doctor Zhao staggered in fear of the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao looked at each other, and they both carried Doctor Zhao and ran over there, saying as they ran: "It's a matter of life and death! Doctor Zhao, I'm sorry!" Doctor Zhao
: !!! Don't run so fast! I'm too old to bear this!
The officials around also followed closely, they really cared and wanted to eat melons.
When a large group of people came over, they saw Wei Zhengan sleeping soundly with his head on the doorstep.
The woman tied to the pillar had a look of despair on her face. Judging from the injuries on her face, she was probably beaten badly.
The three princes who received the news later looked at the woman with distorted expressions.
The third prince said with disdain: "You don't need to think to know what this woman wants to do. She deserves to be beaten like this!"
The crown prince: "Such dirty means are really mean!"
The second prince: "The two sides of the face are beaten quite symmetrically. Master Wei's beating skills are quite powerful. It's suitable for the Ministry of Justice!"
The crown prince and the third prince: ...Why are your focus so different from others? What does going to the Ministry of Justice have to do with beating people symmetrically?
Doctor Zhao went to check Wei Zhengan lying on the ground, and Lin Mo and Bai Xiao went to interrogate the tied woman.
"Now everyone, please talk here. What is going on? Don't do anything to me again, or I will hit you with my fist."
Lin Mo hates people who drug people the most. Can't you pursue whoever you like openly? The atmosphere in Dayong is quite open. It is normal for men to pursue women and women to pursue men.
There are also people who break up after being together for a while. Why do you have to use such a despicable method?
Looking at so many people and Lin Mo's fist in front of her, the woman couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What's wrong with me? I just want to find a husband for myself. In our Liangzhou, my sister married my brother-in-law in this way!"
The official: Tsk! Suddenly smelled a hint of corruption! Could it be that the governor of Liangzhou is really a local tyrant in Yangzhou? His own daughter can still snatch men
away. Lin Mo punched him. He couldn't even snatch a commoner man!
Bai Xiao explained: [In Liangzhou, the governor of Liangzhou is really not very good. The eldest son of their family snatched a commoner girl. The second son lingered in the land of fireworks. The eldest daughter, that is, her sister, fell in love with a scholar. She first coerced and bribed the scholar to marry her. They were afraid that the scholar would take the exam and they would not be able to get hurt, so they also destroyed all the things the scholar used for the exam.]
Everyone present was so angry that their fists were hardened. Lord Li had already started to record with a pen.
Lin Mo couldn't help but punch the woman again. No wonder she drugged people. It turned out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. There is no good in the family!
[I am so angry that I want to kill people. This family should be executed! ]
The head of this family lives better than these Beijing officials. He is the local emperor in Liangzhou. Liangzhou is not rich to begin with, and it is even less rich with this family.
She absolutely does not believe that this family is not corrupt and accepts bribes!
Seeing Lin Mo, whose face was red with anger, Bai Xiao hurried to comfort her and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not as bad as you think. That scholar is very powerful. Although he married the eldest lady, he always avoided the eldest lady and secretly collected evidence about this family. Moreover, that scholar and An Mi, the boyfriend of the eldest lady of the Grand Tutor, are good friends. The evidence has been sent to the Grand Tutor's residence."
The Grand Tutor, who was eating melons in anger, said, "What? This has nothing to do with me?"
The tied woman was desperate. She really didn't expect that she would be exposed to all the ways of her family background just because she liked a man.
It's really over now!
Lin Mo felt refreshed at once. Looking at the woman in front of her who looked like a dead ash, she knocked her out with two slaps.
The Grand Tutor also quickly sent someone to the mansion to look for evidence. Since the evidence has been delivered, it must be dealt with quickly, lest those parasites in the court continue to live a good life.
Looking at the officials who were summoned to discuss important matters, Lin Mo sincerely gave them a thumbs up, [The officials of our Great Yong Dynasty are really efficient. The evidence was just delivered and someone actually delivered it to the palace. Not bad! ]
Bai Xiao: [That's right, thanks to the Grand Tutor who suddenly wanted to eat homemade pancakes today, so he sent someone back to get it, and that's how he got the evidence. ]
The Grand Master made up an excuse: ... How come I seem like a person who cares about food and drink?
For a piece of cake, I make people rush home, just like a corrupt official!
Chapter 154 Stealing Cakes at Midnight
Chapter 154 Stealing Cakes in the Middle of the Night
The Taishi really had no place to vent his grievances, but the problem was that he couldn't explain it, because if he did, he would be exposed.
Emperor Xuande looked at the Taishi with tears in his eyes and gave him a comforting look.
For the sake of the country and the great cause, the Taishi must take the blame!
Lin Mo was now particularly curious about what the cake that the Taishi liked to eat tasted like.
And the more he thought about it, the more he thought that the cake was delicious. Maybe it was because things that you haven't eaten before are delicious no matter how you think about them.
[Do you think that if I ask the Taishi for a cake, will he give it to me? I really want to try the cake that the Taishi asked people to rush home to get. It must taste great. Lin Mo
suddenly thought of all kinds of modern cakes, scallion pancakes, thin pancakes, meat pancakes, radish pancakes, all kinds of cakes, she felt hungry just thinking about them.
To perform a complete act, the Grand Tutor actually asked someone to bring back a large bag of cakes from home. The taste was not very good, but it was not bad either, after all, it was made in the small kitchen at home.
And he really liked to eat this kind of thin cakes.
Bai Xiao whispered to her: "Why don't we go and taste it secretly tonight? The Grand Tutor puts the cakes in the small kitchen at the back. This cake is especially fragrant when baked. The Grand Tutor can eat three in one meal. ã
ãThink about it, the nobles eat less, and at his age, his appetite is gradually decreasing. A cake that can make him eat three in one meal must taste good.ã
Bai Xiao said, and Lin Mo's saliva was about to flow out.
Lin Mo was a little excited, "Let's go and have a taste tonight."
This is not stealing, it's just a taste. They didn't steal all the cakes, they just went to taste it.
The expressions on the faces of everyone present were particularly complicated, especially the father and son of the Lin family.
No, is there a lack of food for you at home? It's just a cake. What kind of cake can't be made at home? Even if it can't be made at home, can't we buy it on the street outside?
They actually stole other people's cakes at night, and were heard by so many people. They are really not afraid of embarrassment all day, right?
But they are really not afraid of embarrassment, because they don't know that their voices can be heard by others.
The Grand Tutor's inner emotions are very complicated now, so his cakes can't be kept tonight, right?
Now, not only Lin Mo and Bai Xiao are curious, but other officials including the emperor are also curious about the taste of this cake.
Emperor Xuande licked his lips. The things in the palace are made more delicately. Although the palace is quite poor, the face-
saving work still has to be acceptable. But this has been eaten in the kitchen for so many years, and no matter how delicious the food is, it is tired of it.
As an emperor, it shouldn't be too much for him to ask his subjects for two cakes. Besides, the Grand Tutor had taught him since he was young. According to seniority, he should be his elder, so it shouldn't be too much for an elder to ask for food.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more feasible this idea seemed to him.
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were busy thinking about how to steal the cakes tonight, while the others surrounded the Grand Tutor and looked at him flatteringly.
"Grand Tutor, is the cake in your house really so delicious that you even asked someone to go back and get it for you. Does it really taste that good?"
Grand Tutor: "...get out of here, don't you know that others don't know?" This is just an excuse, these people are just asking knowingly.
The Grand Tutor touched him with his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be so stingy. We are all colleagues and have worked together for so many years. What's wrong with asking you for two cakes? If you can eat three more, how delicious it will be."
"Give it to us now to taste it. You can still eat a little. If you really wait until tonight, those two little devils will steal your cakes. I don't know if there will be any left."
Grand Tutor: ... What you said seems to make sense.
After a while, Eunuch Li also came with the emperor's words, "Grand Tutor, the emperor is also very curious about the taste of that cake, so he specially asked me to get two."
Everyone present: ... No way!
It must be said that Lin Mo and Bai Xiao really consumed more than half of the Grand Tutor's cakes by themselves.
In order to eat these cakes, these officials even held a small party.
However, they did not bring all the cakes, after all, they had to give the two thieves a taste.
At this moment, the two thieves did not know where they found the two sets of night clothes they had made before, fashionable night clothes.
Bai Xiao asked seriously: "Are you ready?"
Lin Mo nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I'm ready!"
After a while, the two people climbed up the wall with difficulty. The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by said:... There is really no need to do this, why do you have to choose such a difficult way.
Even if these two little ancestors walked past them, they would pretend not to see them. There is really no need to climb the wall so hard.
Moreover, they hid themselves tonight just to make way for these two little ancestors.
A guard looked at the two people climbing the wall with difficulty and said in embarrassment: "Why don't I help them? Seeing them like this makes me feel a little sad for some reason."
It's really sad to go through so much trouble just to eat two cakes.
Another guard said: "Let's not do it. If you go to help, you will be exposed."
These two people really attracted everyone's attention along the way. Everyone hid in the corner and watched them secretly.
There was a good road but they didn't take it. Others had already made the road, but they still wanted to climb the wall.
Everyone was blind but they were really climbing the wall.
After spending a lot of effort, the two finally reached the back room.
Seeing that they had reached the back, all the people who were secretly watching breathed a sigh of relief.
The Crown Prince patted his chest and said, "When I was a kid, I went to the kitchen to steal food, but I was never so nervous."
The Second and Third Princes nodded, "Who said it wasn't?"
They had never seen such a clumsy person before, who was so clumsy even in climbing over the wall. It was really frightening to watch, and the onlookers wanted to go over and help them.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were now so engrossed in the cakes they hadn't eaten yet that they didn't notice that everyone was secretly watching them.
Looking at the cake in the middle, Lin Mo swallowed his saliva and said, "Is this the cake that charmed the Grand Master?"
Bai Xiao said, "It looks really delicious!"
It's a bit like the modern scallion pancakes, fried in oil and topped with minced meat. It smells delicious just by looking at it.
The two looked at each other and laughed, "Why don't we try it? Let's try it."
Chapter 155 The Prince Steals the Cake
Chapter 155 The Prince Steals the Cake
The two said they would taste it, but after an incense stick of time, they looked at the empty cloth bag and fell into deep thought.
Lin Mo licked his lips and said in embarrassment: "What should we do? We have eaten everything."
Bai Xiao's mouth was also greasy, and he burped, "Why don't we make some cakes ourselves, as long as they look like it."
"When the time comes, even if the taste is not right when the Grand Tutor eats it, he will think that the cake is bad, and he will definitely not find out that we stole it."
The people who were secretly watching in the dark: ... Really smart!
The Lin family father and son who were also paying attention to them were terrified.
They both knew the cooking skills of these two people. The food they made could kill people!
The Grand Tutor really didn't deserve to die!
The two whispered to the people around them: "Can someone stop them? Their cooking skills are really not good."
The Grand Tutor shook his head and said, "No, then no. Didn't they say that even if it's not tasty, it can be said that the cake is bad."
Minister Lin said with embarrassment: "It's not this reason. The main reason is that what they made is comparable to poison. I'm afraid that the Grand Tutor will die!"
Everyone who heard this was horrified. It shouldn't be like this!
The two people in the room have already started the operation. Bai Xiao still knows the steps to make this kind of minced meat pancake. After all, there are only things he doesn't want to know in this world, not things he doesn't know.
"First, knead the flour and spread it into a pancake, then add the green onions and minced meat, and finally put it in the pan to fry."
Although the steps are quite simple, these two people can't even knead the dough.
Looking at the dough that was kneaded into lumps, the two people actually felt a sense of accomplishment.
However, they chopped the minced meat very well, and chopped it very finely.
"Are you sure how to put the seasoning?" Lin Mo was a little unsure when adding the seasoning.
The pancake must have flavor, so seasoning must be added, but she didn't know the amount very well. What is a small amount, what is a little bit, what is a little bit, she didn't understand these.
Bai Xiao searched for a while and said with certainty: "It should be put like this. After all, everyone has different feelings. My feeling is that it should be put this much."
The two of them brushed oil on the bottom of the pan and started frying the pancakes. Soon the fragrance came out. From the smell, it felt that the taste of the pancakes should be good.
Everyone outside smelled hungry.
The master looked at Lin Shangshu who looked incredulous and said: "Isn't this cooked well? Please don't slander me. Although Miss Xiao Lin is sometimes not very good, you can't deprive her of her advantages. Isn't this cooking skill good?"
Lin Shangshu rubbed his temples and suddenly felt that his memory was a little confused.
This girl really can't cook, and I don't usually see her cooking at home, how come her cooking skills have improved so quickly.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao confidently made several cakes, and then they wanted to start cooking freely.
Bai Xiao looked at the mushrooms next to him and said, "Why don't we cut the mushrooms into small cubes and add them in! We can take some away with us then." After
discussing it, the two began to develop new recipes. After a while, looking at the pile of finished cakes, they were very proud.
Lin Mo picked up a cake and took a bite, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Delicious, delicious, very delicious! I didn't expect that I have such a skill! Now whoever says that my skill is not good, I will be angry with him!"
Bai Xiao quickly ate one, and it was indeed very delicious, fragrant and crispy.
After eating a few, the two looked at the pile of cakes, and their expressions became complicated again.
Lin Mo bit his finger and thought for a while and said, "Let's just leave two here. There are so many, let's eat them ourselves."
Bai Xiao also nodded affirmatively, "I think I should eat them myself. I have to say that the recipe of the Tai Shi's cake is really delicious. No wonder he can eat three in one meal."
The two picked out the better cakes from the West Five Kuai stall and put them in the cloth bag, and then they happily took the others away.
This time, it was really a great performance, but I don't know if this cooking skill is permanent or temporary.
After the two of them left, the others also refused to come to this room.
After several officials looked at each other, they quickly reached out to grab the cake on the table.
"I saw it first, so I grabbed it first!"
The Grand Tutor had already bitten the cake into his mouth, but it was snatched away by someone else. The Junior Official of the Dali Temple snatched a large piece for himself.
"You have to rely on your strength to eat it. What you eat is yours. What's the use of snatching it?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War took out the cake that the Junior Official of the Dali Temple had stuffed into his arms like a tiger: "You can't take it out. If you want to eat it, eat it here!"
The father and son of the Lin family standing at the door looked at this chaotic scene and didn't know what to say.
In fact, there is really no need to do this. It's just a few pieces of cake.
Why not ask the Grand Tutor for the steps? Even those two kids can make it so delicious, so it must be even better if a professional makes it.
In fact, this cake is a little worse than the one the Grand Tutor brought. Those two people were so happy and satisfied eating it because they made it themselves. It's
a bit speechless that these people are fighting like this.
While these people were fighting, the prince sneaked to the back and stole the only remaining cake.
Lin Qi, who saw this scene, said:...Oh my God! What kind of people are in the court of Dayong now!
After stealing the cake, the prince was very happy and took the cake to find his father.
"Father, this is the cake that your son stole for you! It was made by Lord Xiaolin and Master Xiaobai, and your son snatched it from the mouths of several adults!"
The emperor and the empress who were getting ready to go to bed:...
The empress covered her face with her hands and said speechlessly: "He actually stole the cake. Don't you know how to discipline him? He is the prince!"
The prince of a country actually stole the cake, and snatched it from someone else's mouth. If this gets out, it will really make people laugh!
Emperor Xuande smiled awkwardly, "Prince, you are also a human being, right? You should be happy that our son is so filial."
"And this is not an ordinary cake, it is made by Xiao Lin, have you ever eaten her food? This is rare!"
The second and third princes also followed their eldest brother's buttocks, both of them looked at the big cake with bright eyes.
In the end, the cake was shared by the five of them. Not to mention that it tasted really good as a midnight snack, especially after knowing that it was stolen, it tasted even better.
Chapter 156: Prime Minister, I think you should go and ask Minister Lin for advice
Chapter 156 Prime Minister, I think you should go to ask Minister Lin for advice
The next morning, the Grand Master went to the back room to take a look. Seeing the mess, he sighed helplessly.
He was also an old minister of two dynasties. He really didn't understand why the ministers in the court had become like this. Everyone was so shameless.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao started heating the cakes in the morning. Lin Mo muttered to himself, "There are mushrooms on this screen. Mushrooms will be poisonous when they are cold, so they must be cleaned."
Bai Xiao squatted beside him and nodded, but his eyes never left the pot.
Fortunately, those people ate the cakes while they were hot yesterday, otherwise, something might have happened.
Lin Mo was still smart today. It was a rare day that he didn't make a fool of himself.
It was also necessary to attend court in the palace, and Lin Mo was particularly enthusiastic to heat up two cakes for his father and brother.
"Hurry up and try my cooking skills, I guarantee that this is very delicious!"
Lin Mo looked at her chest and said confidently. This was a rare thing she made that was edible.
Looking at the black cake that was fried for the second time, Minister Lin and Lin Qi refused in their hearts.
But looking at Lin Mo's expectant eyes, they couldn't say the words of rejection.
It was also a rare gift from this girl, and it wouldn't kill people to eat it, after all, others had eaten it yesterday.
Under Lin Mo's expectant eyes, the two ate the cakes with expressions of dying.
Wow, it tastes really good. It seems that what those people said yesterday was right. This girl's cooking skills have improved really fast.
Today, the court dealt with the affairs of Liangzhou. Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were not online the whole time.
In their words, they have done what they can do, and now it is the turn of others to do this part.
Lin Mo stared at the back of the prime minister's head in a daze. The prime minister felt a chill on the back of his head and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Lin Mo: [Hey, Xiaobai, look at where the hair on the back of Chenxiang's head is! Why is there a cut? Could he be alopecia? ã
The Prime Minister has less hair on the back of his head, probably because he has to deal with too many things, and the reason he uses his brain is that his hair is getting thinner and thinner.
In the past, even if his hair was thinner, it would not be so thin that it could not cover the back of his head. Why is there a bald patch on the back of his head today?
The officials behind him quietly poked their heads out, hey! There is really a bald patch.
Bai Xiao looked at his own head, [You are talking about this, he pulled it out himself, he has a problem, that is, he likes to pull out his hair when thinking about things, he originally had less hair, and then he pulled it out less and less. ã
ãThe hair in front cannot be pulled out too much or it will affect his image, so he started to pull out the hair on the back of his head. In the past, he always remembered to use other hair to cover the bald patch, but it seems that he forgot today. ã
The Prime Minister, who was suddenly exposed:... Why are you talking about me again! Don't you two have anyone else to talk to!
Emperor Xuande leaned his head over to take a look. Tsk, it's true. How come the Prime Minister has so little hair? Why didn't he notice it before?
Lin Mo felt a pain on the back of his head when he heard Bai Xiao's words.
[Then the Prime Minister is too cruel to himself. It must be so painful to pull out the hair on the back of his head. He should learn more from me. If he has something bothering him, he should divert his attention. Why does he have to pull out his own hair?]
Bai Xiao: [Who said it wasn't true? He was a handsome man when he was young, but now he has tortured himself into this state. The Prime Minister's wife is still as beautiful as ever. The Prime Minister is really not afraid of his fading beauty and loves to show off. There is also a second concubine in the backyard who is eyeing him covetously. ã
Bai Xiao's words were like a sharp sword piercing into the Prime Minister's heart, and also successfully aroused the Prime Minister's sense of crisis.
How come what this little system said makes some sense! The wife is still beautiful now, but he has become like this now, and the second concubine is still in the back house with the wife every day!
The second concubine is also very beautiful, and he is definitely not as beautiful as the second concubine now. What if the wife really falls in love with someone else!
A picture suddenly appeared in the Prime Minister's mind. The wife wrote a divorce letter to him, and then she was going to run away with the second concubine.
Bai Xiao's words also smoothly let others start their own imagination.
If this little system hadn't mentioned this matter, they really would have forgotten the matter between the Prime Minister's wife and the second concubine.
The prime minister should really take care of himself. He looks like he is a generation behind the prime minister's wife.
Emperor Xuande looked at the prime minister with wrinkles on his face and gray and sparse hair, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
Alas, the prime minister has really devoted himself to Dayong over the years, and has tortured himself into what he is now.
The concubines of the previous emperor had many beauty tips before. Why don't they send some to the prime minister when the time comes? Don't let him take good care of himself.
Don't let the prime minister
's wife run away with someone else. The prime minister is so old that he can't stand such a blow. In fact, Prime Minister Cheng is not that old. He is only five years older than Minister Lin. After all, the prime minister's wife and Mrs. Lin were equally famous in the capital.
But now the Prime Minister seems to be able to be Minister Lin's father.
The feeling in the Prime Minister's heart during this morning court session, Jian Du didn't know how to describe it.
As for the two little bastards, after they talked about this matter, they talked about food, and he had no idea how much of a blow their words had caused him.
After the court session, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao happily went to play with the ladies, especially the ladies.
Lin Mo found that the ladies especially liked her, and would give her snacks they made themselves, which tasted delicious!
As for the Prime Minister, Emperor Xuande kept him first.
Looking at the haggard Prime Minister, Emperor Xuande said sincerely: "Prime Minister, you have worked hard for so many years. There are many beauty methods in the palace, which are left by the concubines of the previous emperor. They are more or less useful. I wonder if the Prime Minister needs those prescriptions."
"Yes, yes, yes! The more such prescriptions, the better!"
The Prime Minister's quick answer almost scared the emperor. This is too exciting.
However, Emperor Xuande reminded him: "I think you should go to Minister Lin to learn from him. You see, Minister Lin is still as charming as ever. His appearance is the same as in his 20s. It will be right for you to learn from him."
Minister Lin, who had just come back to help his wife draw her eyebrows, suddenly felt his nose itchy. His first reaction was that his little bastard might have caused trouble outside.
Chapter 157: Let the ladies in the harem make money by writing stories about palace fighting
Chapter 157 Let the ladies in the harem write stories about palace fighting to make money
At this moment, Lin Mo is immersed in the gentleness and can't extricate himself.
Bai Xiao is hiding in her little pocket and eating happily. Both of them are very satisfied with the current situation.
After taking a sip of the fine wine handed over by the lady next to him, Lin Mo sighed comfortably.
No wonder those men like to get drunk and sleep with beauties. Who doesn't like this!
If she were a man, she would also like to keep a lot of beauties in the yard, and all the maids who serve them would have to be replaced with good-looking ones. Not to mention other things, just being pleasing to the eyes is enough.
However, the maids in Lin Mo's yard are indeed the most beautiful ones in the family, because these maids are the first ones she picked, and others will pick them after she has picked them.
After leaving the palace, the Prime Minister went to Minister Lin. Minister Lin was drawing eyebrows for his wife when he heard someone tell him that the Prime Minister was here.
"Why is the Prime Minister here? We don't seem to have had much contact recently, and nothing major has happened. Could it be that you are here to settle accounts for what happened this morning?"
Minister Lin and the Prime Minister have a good relationship. After all, their wives were also good friends before they got married, but they were not so close.
They usually get together when they remember to get together, and do their own things when they don't.
"I don't know why the Prime Minister came to me. It can't be because of what happened this morning."
Everyone should know what kind of personality this little bastard has. He shouldn't come here to settle accounts for such a small matter.
Minister Lin poured a cup of tea for the Prime Minister, who waved his hands impatiently and said anxiously: "Let's not do these nonsense. I just want to ask you one thing. How do you maintain your appearance? Why hasn't it changed at all over the years?"
"Tell me any good ideas as soon as possible! I'm very anxious now."
Minister Lin: ...You came to me just because of this?
Minister Lin was a little speechless. What did he do when he was young? What's the point of being anxious now?
"Mr. Prime Minister, it's not that I won't tell you the method, but it's too late for you to do it now."
"The method of maintaining your appearance should start when you are young. This is called slowing down aging. It's too late for you now. I don't have any method of rejuvenation."
This is true. After knowing that his wife is obsessed with looks, Minister Lin paid great attention to his face. He has been very careful to take care of himself since the two got married.
That's why he is still in such good shape after only a few decades.
Now when he goes out with his son, people who don't know them think they are brothers. People who don't know them will never think that they are father and son.
But seeing the Prime Minister so anxious and envious, Minister Lin still felt a little beautiful in his heart.
The prime minister looked at the handsome face in front of him, and the fire in his heart suddenly rose, "I don't care! Anyway, you have to think of a way for me. You only have one wife in your family, but I have two or three! One of them likes my wife! If you don't tell me the method, my backyard will really be in trouble!"
Minister Lin suddenly didn't know how to answer her words, so who told you to marry so many women? Having one wife is enough. You can only blame yourself for having so many women in your backyard.
But seeing Chengxiang's anxious look, he was embarrassed to say this.
"Don't worry, sir, I will tell you the method of maintenance right away, but I don't know if it will work."
After getting the method of maintaining his face, the prime minister hurried back to his place, and then asked people to find the herbs needed.
Fortunately, these things can be bought in ordinary pharmacies, otherwise I really don't know how to make them.
The prime minister just got the recipe for maintaining his appearance, and the others followed closely.
Looking at the crowd of people standing in the room, Minister Lin's expression cracked a little.
"You are not all here to ask me for the recipe, are you?" How did these people change so quickly? Didn't they always say that it was useless for a man to be so good-looking?
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue chuckled and said a little embarrassedly: "Minister Lin, happiness is better shared with others than happiness alone. Look how incompatible your pretty face is with us. You can't be partial and give it to the Prime Minister but not to us."
"That's right, we couldn't compare to you when we were young. It's not fair that you haven't changed now that you're old. We didn't expect to be like you. We just want to be a little younger so that you won't be disliked by your wife at home." The
women in the back house really don't look as old as the men. After all, they are all noble ladies. There are people to serve them in everything they do. They are all in charge of some household affairs in the back house. Although they are very busy, they don't have to go out in the wind and rain.
But these officials are so busy that they are like dogs. Sometimes they are sent to other places for inspection. They didn't pay attention to protecting their appearance before, so their appearance fell down all of a sudden.
Looking at the expectant faces of these people, Minister Lin speechlessly copied a copy of the prescription for the prime minister to them.
"This is the prescription. The most important thing is to exercise yourself. Look at your belly. You have forgotten the six arts of a gentleman that you learned when you were young. Even if you are in a high position, don't forget to exercise yourself." Minister
Lin still does boxing every day, and there is a little rascal at home who asks him to carry him every day, so the muscles on his body really haven't disappeared at all.
"Oh, I know, I know. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
After getting the things, these people's faces changed immediately. Why are they still staying here? Hurry home and try it!
It's just that they are still in the palace now, so it's a little inconvenient. After they return home, they will definitely use this recipe every day and exercise every day.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao had no idea that their casual words caused a sensation in the court.
Who said that only girls love beauty? Men also love to be pretty.
These few days in the palace were really happy. Lin Mo successfully established a deep friendship with the ladies in the harem.
Knowing that the harem was poor, Lin Mo thought of a way for them to make money.
"My dear ladies, you are in the harem, which is a great privilege! You can make money by writing stories! That lady from such-and-such a family can make money by writing stories. You don't have to write the same stories as her. You can write stories about fighting for favor in the harem. The people don't know about these things, and they will definitely be popular!"
Lin Mo was looking forward to it. She also liked reading novels and stories like this, but her own literary talent was not that good.
Chapter 158: Palace fighting is a circle, and they haven't even entered it yet
Chapter 158: Palace fighting is a circle, and they haven't entered it yet
Lin Mo's suggestion immediately opened up new ideas for the harem ladies.
Lord Xiaolin is right! Why didn't they think of this!
Moreover, they are naturally gifted to write about this subject matter in the harem. As for the fear of the harem secrets being spread, they don't have to worry about it at all.
They really have no secrets in this harem now. The only secret is poverty. However, if the harem ladies and the emperor are poor, I guess no one will believe it.
After all, before Lord Xiaolin went to court, the emperor and the ministers cried about poverty. The ministers all thought that the emperor was deliberately deceiving them.
After returning to the imperial palace from the temporary palace, the empress and the ladies in the harem began to write the storybook.
But the problem is that there is still one thing that needs to be solved.
"Empress, how should we write about competing for favor? It seems that we have never done such a thing."
Defei had a pen in her hand and had no idea where to start. It seemed that they had never competed for favor for the emperor.
The empress was also stumped by this problem. She didn't know how to write about this matter.
The main reason is that there are not many concubines in the harem now. Everyone is busy doing their own things and has no time to compete for favor.
You say that if competing for favor can improve your treatment, then go for it, but the problem is that the emperor is also poor. When the emperor comes to their palace, he has to take one or two things with him. They even hope that the emperor will come less often.
At this moment, Emperor Xuande, who was reviewing memorials in the study, sneezed loudly.
Eunuch Li quickly handed him a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a break? You have been busy all day today, so you can rest for a while."
Emperor Xuande wiped his nose and said irritably, "It is true that you can rest for a while, but it is because they are urging me. I am only one person, and there are so many things for me to deal with and review. Those ministers are so good, urging me every day, which is really annoying."
The main thing is that his three sons are running out every day for some reason.
They don't know how to help their old father share the official duties. The same is true for the prince. Since he came back, no one knows what he is busy with.
The emperor is very upset, and the harem is not much better.
In order to gather material, the queen even asked the concubines to ask the concubines how they fought for the emperor's favor when the previous emperor was alive.
The concubines who were suddenly asked: "
No, are you asking this question to humiliate us?"
The concubines refused to answer, which made the other concubines very anxious.
"Empress Dowager, this matter concerns the survival of our harem. Please help with this. Don't you want to live a better life in the future?"
"Yes, yes, the harem is in financial difficulty now, and the emperor is also poor. Although the national treasury is abundant, we can't use the money in the national treasury. The late emperor had his own private treasury, but the emperor doesn't even have his own private treasury. If he wants to reward anything, he has to save from his own teeth. You have watched the emperor grow up, don't you think the emperor is pitiful?"
Concubines: ...How come you say that the emperor is even worse than a beggar on the street? He is not that miserable.
In fact, the emperor had a private treasury in the early days, but later on, when the national treasury was empty, he invested all these things into it little by little, and in the end, he had nothing left.
Now that the national treasury finally has money, his private treasury is still poor, not as rich as these concubines, otherwise why would the emperor always take things from them.
And every year on the empress's birthday, she can receive a lot of rare treasures. The empress is good to them, and they can't do without good things.
It's just that the emperor will also say that there are so many good things on his birthday every year, but before that, they were all converted into money to subsidize the national treasury. Even the gifts from the empress had to be divided into half to subsidize the national treasury, and the remaining half was left for living.
It was true that they had never seen such a poor imperial family in all their lives. Before entering the palace, they had never thought that they would live such a life in the future.
After a day of persuasion, they finally persuaded the concubines.
A concubine sighed and said seriously: "In fact, it's not that we don't want to tell you, it's mainly because we don't understand. The more fiercely fighting concubines of the late emperor died, and the slightly more powerful ones also left the palace when the emperor ascended the throne. We are just some small flowers and grasses. To put it simply, we have never been involved."
Another concubine also said: "That's right, we have neither family background nor wealth, and we are not that outstanding. For example, I only saw the late emperor once, and that was in the palace. At the banquet."
Others also echoed, "Yes, if you really want to know, you can go to Duke Chen's house and ask Concubine Chen. She was once favored, and now she is the only concubine who has participated in the more intense palace struggles. But I heard that her mind has become increasingly unclear recently, and you probably won't get anything out of her if you ask her."
Those of them who stayed in the palace were really nothing, so when they heard these concubines coming to ask about the palace struggles of the late emperor, they thought that these people came to humiliate them deliberately.
If palace struggles are a circle, they probably haven't even entered this circle.
The expressions on the faces of the concubines who heard these words were extremely complicated.
Is this the truth? So no one can really solve their problem, right?
The queen was also stunned when she learned about this.
However, she still said with emotion: "I have heard that the struggles in the harem of the previous emperor were fierce, and there were many cases of harming people and children, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce that there were only a few who survived."
It turned out that the few concubines left in the harem had never participated in the palace struggles, which was indeed quite surprising.
In fact, it was quite ridiculous to say that those who participated in the palace struggles died, and those who did not participate in the palace struggles are now enjoying the treatment of ancestors in the palace. Isn't this ridiculous?
"My queen, what should we do? I really can't write this!"
This opportunity to make money is about to fly away, and they really don't want to give up this opportunity to make money!
At this moment, Lin Mo was lying on the bed and snoring, completely unaware that her casual words had kept the harem awake for the past few days.
Bai Xiao slept soundly on her forehead, and those who didn't know would think he was a human fever-reducing patch.
The maid who came to help them cover the quilt shook her head helplessly when she saw this scene.
These two are really becoming more and more outrageous. They are really not afraid of being discovered at all.
Chapter 159 The Emperor and the Empress and Concubines stayed up all night in the room.
Chapter 159 The Emperor and the Empress and Concubines stayed up all night in the room.
In the end, after much thought, the concubines decided that they could not give up this opportunity.
They called Emperor Xuande over and asked him to come over to play.
The Empress explained to the Emperor seriously: "For our money-making plan, you will feel it well later."
"They will compete for your favor in front of you later, and you will favor the side that you think performs better."
The confused Emperor Xuande: ??? Why do they have to do this? They want to compete for my favor. What's wrong with them
? When he went to find them, these people would like to put away all the things in the palace. I guess they just hope he doesn't go.
Today, they are competing for his favor in front of him. Isn't this really crazy?
Eunuch Li knew more about this matter, after all, his apprentice was not in front of the Empress.
He whispered to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, this is what Lord Xiaolin suggested that the ladies in the harem write stories to make money, so they write stories about palace fighting. The ladies have no experience, so they plan to perform in front of you to get a feel for it."
Emperor Xuande: ... I know every word of this sentence, but why don't I understand it when it is put together.
As the Empress clapped her hands, two gorgeously dressed concubines stumbled in.
"Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me! She actually poisoned me!"
Another concubine also cried and said: "I didn't, I am innocent!"
The other concubines sitting on both sides bit their lower lips and lowered their heads.
There is no way, if not, they are really afraid of laughing.
The acting skills of these two people are really bad, their facial features are all messed up.
Looking at the two cups with messed up facial features kneeling in front of him, Emperor Xuande:...
He saw the Queen's face full of questions: How should I answer? How should I express?
The Queen blinked at him and asked him to deal with it quickly: Just answer as you should, according to your own ideas!
Emperor Xuande thought about it, according to your own ideas, right, then come on.
"You said she poisoned you", Emperor Xuande said majestically: "The medicines in the palace are strictly controlled, where did this poison come from."
The expressions on the faces of the two concubines acting below froze: Yes, where did the poison come from, they have lived in the deep palace for so many years, they can't get the poison.
Moreover, even if their parents sent them something, it would have to go through layers of inspection. The things they sent out of the palace also needed to go through layers of inspection. The people who inspected were all the emperor's people. Where did the poison come from?
After thinking seriously for a while, the concubine who said she was poisoned said with certainty: "She prescribed a tranquilizer for herself, and she kept a sip every time she drank the medicine, and then poisoned me!"
Everyone present: ...
Are you sick! What kind of excuse is this! Every time you drink the medicine, you take a sip to poison yourself, how long will it take to save a bowl. If you
save a bowl, it's also a tranquilizer!
The queen covered her forehead with her hands, looking helpless, forget it, it's all broken.
But the two people below were still acting. The other concubine said angrily, "Every time I took the tranquilizer, I saved a mouthful for you when I was full. How long will it take to fill a bowl? A full bowl is also tranquilizer. Why should I save money to save a bowl of tranquilizer for you!"
The concubine said seriously, "It's because you saved it mouthful by mouthful that the medicine went bad, and you took the bad one and wanted to give it to me! If this isn't poisoning, what is it!"
Seeing these two people still immersed in their acting, the emperor, empress, and concubines all couldn't bear to watch.
Emperor Xuande asked the empress very seriously: "Is this your palace fighting? Is this just children playing house?"
He had never seen such childish palace fighting. He was not a tyrant, so how could he let poison enter the harem so easily?
Even when the previous emperor was alive, the medicine in the harem was strictly controlled, and poison had never happened before. Even
if they really wanted to harm people's bodies, they would use food to counteract each other, or find out what the concubine disliked or feared, and then start from this aspect.
Moreover, the previous emperor's harem maids and eunuchs were very flattering and bullying. Even if those concubines did nothing, as long as you fell out of favor, the maids and eunuchs alone could take half of your life.
All kinds of treatment will be deducted, the food you eat is not good, the place you live in and the things you use are not good, and your body will eventually break down.
After it breaks down, you can't find a doctor or anyone to speak up for you or get you medicine, so you'll be dead.
Everyone starts from the dark, how can you openly shout that someone poisoned you, isn't this a joke?
"Okay, okay, then stop acting. It makes my hair stand on end. If you want to ask about the harem struggles, you can ask me first. I grew up in the palace and saw how the concubines of the previous emperor fought for favor and hurt people. No one knows it better than me."
This is true. When the emperor was young, he was not favored and was ignored and mistreated by the palace maids and eunuchs, but because he was a prince, the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to do it too obviously.
Those concubines who lost favor lived a much worse life than him, and those princesses who were not favored lived a worse life than him.
Maybe it was because the prince could leave the palace and set up his own residence after growing up, and even more so, he could even occupy a greater position in the court, so the palace maids and eunuchs were more or less cautious.
The emperor's words immediately saved everyone. That night, the emperor was kept by everyone to talk about the affairs of the previous emperor and the harem.
This night was a sleepless night. Emperor Xuande reminded all the concubines of the stories of the previous dynasty and the harem.
Early the next morning, Emperor Xuande went to court with two big dark circles under his eyes.
Lin Mo stood below and looked at the dark circles on the emperor's face and asked curiously: [Xiaobai, why does the emperor have two such big dark circles on his face? Didn't he sleep last night? ]
Bai Xiao hid in her sleeves and yawned and said: [Indeed, he didn't sleep. He stayed up all night in the room with the queen and a group of concubines. ]
Lin Mo's eyes widened: [!!! Is it so exciting! ]
All the officials present also widened their eyes: !!! The emperor is a little too open!
Even the Crown Prince and the two princes looked a little strange.
The emperor who was suddenly slandered: ... Are you sick! Can't you just finish this sentence!
Emperor Xuande hadn't slept in the first place, and now his head was buzzing with anger.
Eunuch Li quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, take care of your body."
Lin Mo didn't pay any attention to the expressions of others. She was now full of curiosity.
[Can you tell me what happened between the emperor, empress and the ladies last night? Is it the kind of thing that needs mosaics? If it's too erotic, just omit it.]
Everyone present almost understood the word mosaic, which means things that can't be said.
They really felt that they could understand more and more strange words.
Chapter 160 Concubine Chen's Past of Being Favoured
Chapter 160 Concubine Chen's past of being favored
The people around now wanted to listen but didn't dare to.
The main reason was that such a thing was rare, but they couldn't listen to the emperor's bedtime stories.
[What fragrance, what mosaics, you think too much, I said they stayed up all night just to stay up late. ]
[Didn't they come up with an idea to make money for the ladies in the harem, writing stories about palace fighting? The reason is that the ladies in the harem really have no experience in palace fighting, and the one who has the most experience in palace fighting in this palace is actually the emperor, so the emperor told them all night about the palace fighting of the concubines in the harem. ] The one who has
the most experience in palace fighting is the emperor!
The ministers widened their eyes slightly, with a very difficult feeling in their hearts.
And the most important thing is that there is no palace fighting in the harem? Are the ladies in the harem getting along so harmoniously now?
Because the former dynasty and the harem are basically two different worlds, so these ministers really don't know how the ladies in the harem live.
[Tsk, it's really a waste of time to make me so curious, but you can tell me how the palace fighting was in the former dynasty, it can't be really the same as written in those novels. ]
Lin Mo has not seen real palace fighting, he has not even seen real house fighting.
There is no way, the family is really too harmonious, parents are the real love, she can see parents showing off their love in front of her every day at home.
Speaking of this, Bai Xiao suddenly became interested, [Then let me tell you about the living Chen Guogong's sister, Concubine Chen. There is nothing much to say about the dead.]
Duke Chen, who was suddenly called out: ??? No, shouldn't it be the dead that should be talked about? Why are you talking about the living?
I don't know why, but he suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Lin Mo still had some impression of Duke Chen, mainly because this person seemed to be really rich, and his children were also very rich outside. Whenever there was a banquet, their family would definitely attend.
[Hurry up and tell me, I still had some impression of Duke Chen. He was one of the richest people I had ever met. Bai Xiao
: That's right. Concubine Chen was a favorite concubine for a period of time. She received a lot of money from the late emperor, and she gave it all to her natal family. It would be strange if Duke Chen had no money.
Emperor Xuande's eyes almost popped out when he heard this, and he looked at Duke Chen with a look of anger.
You use my father's money to support your family!
The emperor wanted to raise his sword. What kind of a shitty father is this? He gave all his money to other people! Now he has no money to spend, and he has to scrape money out of his own pocket every day to subsidize the national treasury!
There is no emperor in the world who is as miserable as him! Give me back all the money!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Stay calm! Stay calm! Listen to what Lord Xiao Lin and the others have to say!"
Eunuch Li was the emperor's mood stabilizer, calming the raging emperor on a daily basis.
Duke Chen was sweating profusely as he talked incessantly, "Stop talking, little ancestor!" If you say anything more, all our property will be confiscated!
Lin Mo had no idea what Duke Chen was thinking, and his mind was now filled with palace struggles.
As the only concubine alive who had participated in palace struggles, Concubine Chen must have had some tricks up her sleeve.
[Tell me quickly how Concubine Chen became favored and how she fought in palace struggles, and whether she had ever harmed anyone? ã
Bai Xiao: [She must have hurt people before, and she killed more than one person. Before she became the emperor's favorite, there was a concubine named Xue Guifei who was particularly favored. She used someone else's knife to kill someone, causing the late emperor and Concubine Xue to fight to the death. Then she sat back and reaped the benefits and successfully became the emperor's favorite. ã
[Later, Concubine Xue was banished to the cold palace. She deliberately let the palace maids and eunuchs mistreat Concubine Xue in secret. Concubine Xue couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the well and died. ã
Tsk tsk tsk! This is the palace fight in her impression. It turns out that some of the things said on TV and in novels are true.
Lin Mo felt that this Concubine Xue was a bit pitiful: [It's too tragic. Is Concubine Xue innocent? ã
Others also sighed with heart, since ancient times, victorious kings defeat bandits, the struggle in the harem is more intense than that of the previous dynasty, all of them are methods of attacking the heart. Fortunately, Concubine
Xue's family has fallen into decline, otherwise, how uncomfortable would it be to hear that their own daughter was killed here.
Bai Xiao: [Of course she can't be innocent, none of the favored concubines were clean, the late emperor had a princess who was killed by Concubine Xue, and then Concubine Chen instigated the two to fight to the death. This princess can be regarded as the fuse for the late emperor to want to kill Concubine Xue. ã
Lin Mo: [When you say that, I don't feel sorry for her anymore, she deserves it! ã
Bai Xiao nodded, agreeing with her very much.
ãThat's right. Those who died deserved it. Concubine Chen was relatively good. After she was favored, she started to use contraception. So even if she was favored, others would not target her too much. Everyone thought she couldn't have children. ã
ãIn fact, she either couldn't have children or didn't want to have children, or she was afraid of having children. After she got pregnant, she had a weakness. And from pregnancy to childbirth, there are ten months of pregnancy. How many people can get through these ten months safely? The better ones may only lose the child, and the less lucky ones may lose both the mother and the child. She did this to protect herself. ã
ãConcubine Chen lived a sober life. She didn't ask for sincerity, true love, or children, but for money. She fought for favor in order to get better treatment for herself and to promote her own family. ã
After hearing these words, Lin Mo began to admire Cheng Taifei from the bottom of his heart.
Such a woman has no weaknesses! She only seeks glory and wealth, not a trace of true love, awesome! No wonder she can get so much money from the late emperor.
[This Concubine Chen is the heroine of the palace drama, no wonder she can survive to the end. ]
Others also nodded secretly in their hearts, it is really amazing for a woman to live to this extent.
The late emperor was also beautiful, and when he liked someone, he really treated her well from the bottom of his heart, giving her status, wealth, and promotion of her family, and giving you unique treatment.
Many concubines fell like this, they all thought they were the unique one, they all thought they were the favored one, so they would collapse so much after losing favor, because the gap was really too big.
That's why they would do anything to become crazy and unscrupulous later on. Concubine Chen is really amazing. She was in favor for quite a long time, but she was not bewitched by the late emperor. She is so determined!
Bai Xiao continued: [In order to get more rewards from the late emperor, she even faked a pregnancy, and then said that the child was accidentally miscarried. She was extremely sad, and the late emperor felt even more pity and guilt for her. In order to comfort her "pain of losing her child", rewards were sent to her palace like water.]
Lin Mo really didn't know what to say at this time, and could only give her a thumbs up in his heart.
