Don’t Show the Son

For a moment, Lin Xiu thought she was wrong.

How could Emperor Daxia sit here and eat buns?

Not to mention the emperor, even the third-rank uncle with the lowest title would not come here.

This is outrageous.

Or maybe it's just that they look alike?

Lin Xiu's first thought was indeed like this, but when she saw the man with a white face and beardless standing beside him, Lin Xiu knew that he did not admit his mistake.

It would never be a coincidence that someone looks like the emperor, and even the entourage around him looks like the leader of the secret investigation department, Zhu Jin, the personal eunuch next to Emperor Xia.

After a moment of panic, Lin Xiu quickly settled down.

He just pretended that he didn't see anything, so he found a seat by the door and sat down, waiting for his steamed stuffed bun to come up.

Since Emperor Xia went out of the palace in low clothes and only brought Zhu Jin with him, he obviously didn't want others to know. If Lin Xiu stepped forward at this moment, bowed and said "See Your Majesty", wouldn't he be revealing his identity?

Any abnormal behavior of his will make the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop suspicious.

In a short moment, Lin Xiu's thoughts had already turned a thousand times.

Needless to say, the skills of the imperial cook in the imperial dining room, he was in the palace, and he couldn't eat any delicacies from mountains and seas, so why would he go out of the palace to eat the steamed stuffed buns on the side of the road?

The drunken man's intention is not in the wine, and the summer emperor's intention is not in the buns either.

Based on Lin Xiu's understanding of him, the proprietress of this steamed stuffed bun shop, which still has a charm, is his target.

He's here to pick up girls.

Sure enough, the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. Although Li Baizhang is also lustful, he only dares to say that he is lucky. The emperor of a country actually went out to marry a widow.

Lin Xiu was startled suddenly, did he break the emperor's adultery?

The steamed stuffed buns at the Qiao Widow's house still tasted the same as before, but Lin Xiu didn't like eating them. He just wanted to finish eating and leave, and he didn't want to stay in this place for a quarter of an hour.

At this time, there were only two tables of them in the bun shop.

There were no guests to greet, so the proprietress went to sit opposite Emperor Xia's table, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Master hasn't come for quite a while."

Emperor Xia put down his chopsticks and said: "I was busy a few days ago, and I will come here often."

The proprietress said happily: "Then I will write it down."

After speaking, she stood up and began to tidy up the shop.

She was the only one in the shop, and there were still many tables left behind by the customers who hadn't cleaned up in time. Seeing this, Emperor Xia also stood up and helped her clean up together.

The proprietress quickly snatched the cage from him and said, "You are a big shot, how could you do such a thing, let me do it."

This master has been here many times, and every time he comes, he will order a plate of vegetarian steamed buns and talk to her.

Although he never revealed his identity, every time he came, there was a person by his side, who didn't say a word, and just stood beside him when he was eating. Such a person must not be an ordinary person.

Emperor Xia smiled, took the cage from her hand, and said: "I'm no big deal, I just run a small business at home, and I often do these things at home, the two of us can tidy up faster together..."

The proprietress blushed, because the person in front of her also held her hand when she grabbed the cage.

She quickly withdrew her hand and said, "I, I'm going to clean up another table."

Lin Xiu regretted it now.

Extremely sorry.

Why didn't he pack it? Emperor Xia and the proprietress were in the shop. To put it nicely, they were talking and laughing. To put it harshly, it was called flirting, which was not something he could listen to at all...

Emperor Xia quickly cleaned up Lin Xiu's table, glanced at him lightly, and asked, "Have you finished eating? Hurry up and leave after eating."

Feeling relieved, Lin Xiu gulped down the porridge, picked up the remaining two buns, and said, "After eating, let's go."

After speaking, he immediately got up and strode away.

The proprietress came over in a hurry and said, "I'm a guest, so I can't talk to the guest like that. Look at you, the guest left without paying..."

Emperor Xia snorted coldly, and said: "This kid has a sensual look on his face, he doesn't look like a good person at first sight, does he come here often?"

The proprietress smiled and said: "That handsome young man comes here often. Judging by his clothes, he should be a young man from a noble family. This is the first time I have seen a rich man who likes to eat steamed stuffed buns. Those big men eat steamed stuffed buns every day. Isn't it shark fin bird's nest..."

Xia Huang looked slightly angry, and said: "He may not like steamed stuffed buns, does he often touch you with frivolous words?"

The proprietress rolled his eyes at him, and said: "What are you talking about, every time this young man comes here, he just eats buns, and he doesn't take the initiative to talk to me. Why are his words so frivolous? He is in his youth, how could he like me? Tomorrow's yellow flowers..."

Only then did Emperor Xia's face soften, and then he smiled and said: "Little guy who doesn't even have full hair, how can he appreciate the beauty of a woman? You are the most beautiful time in a woman's life..."

...

Lin Xiu walked a long way from the steamed stuffed bun shop, only to realize that he forgot to pay just now.

But he walked out with great difficulty, of course it is impossible for him to go back, he can only wait for the next time to pay together.

What he saw and heard at the bun shop just now really opened his eyes.

He used to think Emperor Xia was not serious, but he didn't expect him to be more serious than Lin Xiu thought.

Lin Xiu had never even heard of the emperor who went out of the palace to soak up widows in micro-clothes and wash dishes for others. If it got out, the court would fry the pot, and the dog emperor himself would be famous in history.

Of course, not a good reputation.

When Lin Xiulian, Lingyin, and Princess Minghe were practicing after coming to the Academy of Different Arts, they were thinking about this matter in their hearts. It is not a good thing to break through the emperor's adultery. Although he is unlikely to kill Lin Xiu, but It doesn't feel good for him to wear small shoes casually...

After the practice was over and when she walked out of the School of Different Arts, what Lin Xiu was most worried about happened.

Zhu Jin stood at the gate of the Abnormal Arts Academy, looked at Lin Xiu with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty summons me."

Lin Xiu sighed and followed Zhu Jin silently without saying anything.

Princess Minghe was about to go back to the palace, but when she accidentally saw Lin Xiu follow Zhu Jin into the central palace, she panicked for no reason: "What did the emperor summon Lin Xiu for? Could it be that he is really making him a son-in-law?"

When Lin Xiu followed Zhu Jin into the imperial study, Emperor Xia had already changed into a dragon robe and was standing in the hall with his back to him. Lin Xiu couldn't see his expression.

He bowed and said, "See Your Majesty."

Emperor Xia didn't look back, but said lightly: "You have a good idea. Do you think that as long as you show your talent in martial arts, I will be afraid and won't let the Lin and Zhao families marry? What is it that is not worthy of you that makes you try to cancel the engagement?"

Lin Xiu sighed, and said, "Marriage requires a foundation of love. As the king of a country, Your Majesty has power over the world, so how would you know how it feels to marry someone you don't like?"

As soon as Lin Xiu's words fell, Emperor Xia's body trembled, then he turned around abruptly, and said angrily, "Why don't I know, you are not me, how do you know that I don't understand!"

At this moment, his chest was heaving, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he looked extremely furious.

Lin Xiu's words revealed the scar he cared about the most.

Seeing this, Zhu Jin hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty calm down, calm down..."

Emperor Xia closed his eyes, and after taking a few deep breaths, his angry expression gradually subsided.

He looked at Lin Xiu and said, "In life, many things are beyond your control. You can't change it, and neither can I."

After tossing around a few times, Lin Xiu gave up, cupped her fists and said, "Your Majesty is the master."

Emperor Xia glanced at him and said: "Okay, I can understand your feelings, don't say I won't give you a chance, you have another choice besides marrying Tianjiao of the Zhao family."

Lin Xiu's eyes lit up, she raised her head and asked, "What choice?"

Emperor Xia showed a smile on his face, and said: "Princess Minghe hasn't made a marriage agreement yet, if you are willing to be Minghe's son-in-law, I can issue an order right now to cancel your engagement with the Zhao family."

Lin Xiu froze there.

Zhao Lingjun, or Princess Minghe?

This is not a multiple choice question at all.

Even the common people know that it is better to marry a beggar than a princess.

The son-in-law looks beautiful, but in fact, he is useless. Not only does he not have the dignity of a man, he has to apply to the female official even for husband and wife affairs, and he is not allowed to take concubines for the rest of his life...

Lin Xiu at least had another idea about marrying Zhao Lingjun.

Marrying Minghe, no, marrying a princess can't be called marrying, it can only be called Princess Shang.

If Minghe is abandoned, he will really be useless.

Lin Xiu was stunned for a long time, then a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said, "Your Majesty, I've thought too much. Everyone in the capital said that I'm a waste, not worthy of the Zhao family's pride. I just wanted to clear my name by doing that in the Martial Arts Academy. It's not that I want to cancel the engagement, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, with sharp eyesight, don't listen to the slander of some villains..."

While speaking, he cast a glance at Zhu Jin who was standing beside Emperor Xia.

Zhu Jin gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart: "Bah, what a shame!"
