Finest Servant

Qiaoqiao was surprised when he heard his words, and hurriedly said, "Brother, where is the emperor?"

While speaking, there was already a person walking outside the door, his face was ruddy with some abnormal paleness, his temples had been dyed with autumn frost, and he was wearing a yellow satin robe. Behind him was Eunuch Gao and a group of guards, all dressed in plain clothes, closely surrounding him.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Lin Wanrong didn't salutation, and went forward to ask with a smile.

The emperor seemed to have not heard his words, looked at him as if he did not see him, his eyes stared straight behind him, his face was full of surprises, his lips twitched a few times, and finally he said, "Miss Guo, is that you?! !"

"Guo Junyi, the daughter of the people, meet the emperor, long live, long live!" Mrs. Xiao bowed slightly, fell to her knees, and saluted respectfully.

The old emperor's face flashed with excitement, the ruddy on his face gradually increased, he coughed sharply, and Eunuch Gao, who was behind him, hurriedly handed over two pills, and said gently, "Your Majesty, the medicine is here. !"

The emperor waved his hand and threw the pill away. The pill bounced on the ground a few times and fell into pieces.

"I'm not sick, what do you want to take this pill for?" the emperor roared, and immediately glanced at Mrs. Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, and reached out to help her.

Mrs. Xiao stepped back slightly, missed his palm, and bowed again: "Guo Junyi, the daughter of the people, meet the emperor, long live, long live!"

The old emperor stopped his hand in the air and stood there for a while, the expression on his face changed, and it took a long time to withdraw his hand. With a sigh, "Miss Guo, get down quickly! Gao Qing, help Miss Guo up!"

Eunuch Gao walked over to help Miss Guo, and Mrs. Xiao kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace." She stood up lightly. A faint smile appeared on his face.

Lin Wanrong saw the emperor's expression in his eyes and felt very strange. This old emperor looks weak or even useless on the outside, but his skills and perseverance are unmatched by anyone. Anyone who despises him will definitely suffer a big loss. I believe that the sincere king feels the most profound. Such a joyless emperor, who looked like this when he saw Mrs. Xiao, could it be that between them—

Lin Wanrong glanced at the two of them, only to see the emperor's eyes flashing fast, staring closely at Mrs. Xiao. It looked like she was going to swallow Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao stood lightly to the side, her eyebrows lowered. There was a faint smile on his face, very calm!

Adultery! Lin Wanrong slapped her palm, ***, no wonder Mrs. Xiao has been a widow for many years and is cold to everyone. It turned out that there was a sea between the emperor and the emperor! Lao Tzu knew that Madam was not easy, but I didn't expect her to fall in love with the emperor, which was incredible. It's amazing!

"Miss Guo,

How have you been all these years? ! ! "The emperor looked at Madam Xiao, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said softly: "Twenty years, in a blink of an eye!" Goodbye Miss now, you are still as magnificent as you were in the past, but I am old and old. These years are really unforgiving! "

"Thanks for the Emperor's concern, and the people are all well." Mrs. Xiao bowed and replied. The expression is very dull, and there is no way to see the appearance of being a gangster.

It turns out that there is a hook or not. It seems that when the emperor also misses, Lin Wanrong smiled, but he heard the emperor sigh: "Miss Guo, I haven't seen you for 20 years, why have you lost so much? I still like to hear you call Zhao Zhao. Mister. In the past, I became friends with the young lady, discussing knowledge, writing poems, and bit by bit, they have always appeared in front of my eyes, and it is still unforgettable to this day.”

Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly, and seemed to recall the past years again. She shook her head and said, "Jun Yi was young and ignorant in the past, and did not know the real identity of the emperor. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known that Miss Guo and I were so disrespectful, I would rather be the nameless Mr. Zhao. If it wasn't for the complicated situation in the capital in the past, and your reverence did not want to get involved, I am afraid that Miss and I would have been very close—"

"Your Majesty, the people have been married for many years, and have never had any wishful thinking. In the past, I met Mr. Zhao because of his extraordinary learning and knowledge, and Jun Yi was able to talk for a long time. Not only Mr. Zhao, but also the one I met back then. There are also Liu Dongsheng, the first scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jia Fan, a famous gentleman in the southwest. They are my good friends like my husband, and they can't say anything about the relationship between men and women. If my husband misunderstood, Jun Yi deeply apologizes." Mrs. Xiao's eyes were clear and she spoke firmly. She has been a widow for many years, has been strictly abiding by the law of women, and kept herself clean. She is well known in Jinling, and her determination is evident.

I can't listen anymore, the old emperor was rejected, who knows if he will be so angry and slap me? Lin Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, since you and your wife are old acquaintances, let's chat slowly. Xiaomin and his wife continue to visit this house. You two are good to chat. Resign, resign!"

A glimmer of admiration flashed in the emperor's eyes. You are a wise boy, and you know how to advance and retreat. Mrs. Xiao looked anxious, and was about to speak when Lin Wanrong dragged Qiao Qiao and ran out of the room, entering Hua Yuan, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

Qiaoqiao glanced at him and hesitated. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Gang baby, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Qiaoqiao snorted, looked at the room worriedly and said, "Brother, we left the lady there alone like this, it seems, it seems—"

"It doesn't seem good, doesn't it?" Lin Wanrong continued with a smile.

Qiaoqiao hurriedly shook her head and said anxiously, "Brother, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that the madam came out with us, and the emperor obviously covets her. I'm always a little worried about leaving her alone!"

Lin Wanrong stroked her hair and smiled slightly: "Silly girl, you can rest assured if you leave you there too? I think it should be more worrying!"

Qiaoqiao bit her red lips and said softly, "But Madam is there alone, in case, in case—"

"There is nothing in case." Lin Wanrong took her little hand and walked towards Yuanzi: "The reason why the emperor is the emperor is that he is more tolerant than ordinary people. If he wants to move strong, even if we are all there, we can't help Xiao. Madam, what are you busy with? It's better to make room for them and let them cut off directly. Without outsiders, Madam has a lot less scruples when speaking, and the emperor will not lose face in front of outsiders, wouldn't it be better."

The little girl thought about it carefully. Feeling that what the eldest brother said was reasonable, he stopped worrying and dragged the eldest brother around the house. The mansion mentioned by the emperor is indeed true. This mansion occupies a large area and has gorgeous settings. The buildings are stacked on top of each other. In addition to the front flower circle and the back flower circle, there is a slightly smaller flower circle in the inner house, which is specially for the closest people in the inner house to enjoy and play. It's just that the house has been idle for many years. There is too much dust, I am afraid that it will take a good cleaning to move in.

The two walked straight from the back door to the front. The courtyard is deep and the corridors are wide open, which is very different from the narrow back door. The two walked out of the gate, and looked forward for a while. It turned out that this place was facing the inner courtyard of the palace. On the opposite side is the moat of the Forbidden City, and the guards on the Jinyu Bridge are faintly visible.

Lin Wanrong turned to look in front of his house, and saw the front door was big vermilion lacquer. The beams are wide enough to be pushed into five sedan chairs side by side. Above the lintel, there are two big characters - Lin Fu! There are two stone lions carved out of fine rock. There is one person standing tall and standing on both sides, which is very mighty.

"Gang baby, how is our family?" Master Lin said proudly.

Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Big brother, our family is so big! It's two or three times bigger than Miss Jinling's family!"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I have a lot of people to support. The house will naturally be bigger, and the old emperor is not confused yet. Hehe, what's so great about Dongzhimen Street, I don't care about them, and the back door of our house is only opened. In Dongzhimen. When you all have babies in the future, I will build a swimming pool at home, build a racetrack, and make a big Huanai bed - little baby, you must have never seen this Huanai bed, I will give it to you You talk about its function, you should preview it first!"

Qiaoqiao heard her face crimson, and lowered her head with a snort, not daring to speak, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you listen, I have to practice in the future—"

As he was spitting, he strongly recommended the "Arching Buddha" function of the Huan Ai bed to Qiaoqiao, and when he glanced at it, he saw that there were two large mansions on the left and right of his main entrance, each of which was no smaller than his own. The front door of the house on the left reads "Li Mansion", while the plaque on the door on the right reads "Xu Mansion".

Although Mr. Lin, the deputy servant of the Ministry of Personnel, is a false title, he is loved by the emperor, but he is genuine. This mansion is already top-notch in Beijing, but the mansion of "Li's House" and "Xu's House" are no better than him. Small, to be able to have such a grand scale, that grace is conceivable.

As he was thinking about it, he saw that the door on the right opened with a bang, and a woman walked out from inside, with a charming smile, her face like a peach blossom, and she nodded slightly to him.

Lin Wanrong was taken aback and said, "Miss Xu, why are you here?"

"That's what you're asking—" Miss Xu smiled and said, "This is my home, I'm not here, where is it?"

Ouch, it turned out that I was neighbors with Lao Xu, and this was a commotion. He laughed and said, "So that's how it is, Miss Xu, we will be neighbors in the future. Haha, I finally found a place to eat."

Qiaoqiao squeezed his wrist lightly: "Brother, with me here, I will cook for you every day, okay?"

Miss Xu snorted: "Lin San, if we haven't seen you for a few days, you will change your face again. Why, don't you want to be the concubine?"

Lin Wanrong was waiting to answer when he saw Eunuch Gao rushing in a hurry from a distance: "Lord Lin, Lord Lin, the emperor wants to see you!"

see me? Wasn't he talking to his wife, "reminiscing about the old days?" Lin Wanrong asked in doubt: "Father-in-law, isn't the emperor talking to Miss Guo, why do you want to see me again? "

Eunuch Gao snorted behind him. Lin Wanrong looked up and saw Mrs. Xiao standing behind Eunuch Gao, looking at him with a smile: "I'm sorry you still remember me, I just ran faster than a rabbit!"

"This, I don't want to delay the two of you catching up." Lin Wanrong laughed: "Madam, how are you and the emperor talking, have you hooked up, oh, no, is there any progress?"

Mrs. Xiao gave him a charming look and hummed: "Whatever progresses, it's just you who will make trouble. Mr. Zhao and I are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. We were just talking a few gossips and had nothing to do with other things."

"That is, that is, Madam, you are loyal, steadfast and unyielding. You are really a model for me to learn." Lin Wanrong smiled embarrassingly. Miss Xu over there was startled and hurried over and said, "Aunt Guo, Aunt Guo, is it really you?"

Mrs. Xiao gave her a careful look. After deliberation, he said, "You are—"

"I'm Zhiqing, Aunt Guo, I'm Zhiqing!" Miss Xu said excitedly.

"Zhiqing?!" Mrs. Xiao took her hand and said, "Are you really Zhiqing?!"

Miss Xu nodded lightly, and the two hugged each other tightly, tears dripping down. Miss Xu lost her mother when she was young and was stubborn. Thanks to Mrs. Xiao's care in the past, she had a deep affection for her. The two had not seen each other for many years, so they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Naturally, Master Lin didn't understand the feelings between them, and he didn't intend to. Admiring these two women with the same flowers is what he most wants to do now. These two women, Mrs. Xiao is like a mature Begonia. Xu Zhiqing looked like a gorgeous hibiscus, all of which were ripe peaches. She was naturally in good shape and had nothing to say. Seeing the two of her hugging each other, Master Lin swallowed. A word suddenly popped out of my mind - true love "to touch".

"My lord, my lord—" A voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded in his ear, and Lin Wanrong said impatiently: "Who is it? Don't stop me from watching the ball—"

"Sir, is the emperor still waiting for you?" Eunuch Gao hurriedly asked.

"Oh, that's it!" Lord Lin reluctantly took his eyes back from Miss Xu's chest, but saw Miss Xu's eyes wide open and glared at him fiercely, as if he was aware of what he had just done.

If Lord Lin was shy, all the roosters in the world would lay eggs. He glanced at her without showing weakness, and laughed a few times: "Miss Xu, continue. Tell the truth and send love. The tighter you hug, the more true it is. Alas, I'm so touched."

"Despicable, shameless, hateful, obscene!" Miss Xu snorted forcefully.

"Zhiqing, who are you talking about?!" Mrs. Xiao asked when she heard the words beside Xu Zhiqing.

"Oh, nothing! I'm just kidding." Miss Xu said embarrassedly, "Aunt Guo, where did we just say?"

Eunuch Gao finally dragged Lord Lin away, but he sighed helplessly in his heart. When the emperor summoned his ministers, who was not sincere and fearful, and even climbed up before he had time to tie his trousers pockets, why was this Lord Lin different from others? ! The emperor's vision is indeed unique.

Eunuch Gao dragged him and said as he walked: "Lin Lord, speaking of it, I have been by the emperor's side for decades, but I haven't seen anyone who has received the same favor as you. I went to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense, and when I came here, I suddenly remembered the house that was given to you yesterday, so I have to come and take a look. After looking at it for half an hour, I asked the craftsmen to renovate it as soon as possible and let you move in. The emperor treats you The care of me makes me, a slave, envious!"

It turned out to be the case, and I also said why the emperor suddenly appeared here. Xian'er is my wife, the emperor is my husband, he should treat me well, and I'm not bad for him. Walking to the front of the main hall, Eunuch Gao pointed to a wing room and said softly, "Lord Lin, go in by yourself, the emperor is inside!"

Pushing the door and entering, I saw the old emperor with his back to the door, his hands behind his back, facing a portrait on the wall in a daze. Lin Wanrong looked up and saw the woman in the painting, dressed in a light yellow gown, with picturesque eyes and a calm expression, it was Mrs. Xiao when she was young.

This old emperor is a long-term lover, but it's a pity that King Xiang has a heart, and the goddess has no intentions, so I really pity him. Lin Wanrong felt sympathy for her father-in-law, and said softly, "Father—"

The old emperor waved his hand, pointed at the woman on the picture and said, "Lin San, do you recognize her?"

"I know, it's Mrs. Xiao!"

"Wrong!" The emperor hummed: "When I knew her, what kind of Mrs. Xiao was she, she was called Miss Guo! In the past, when the two kings seized the heir, if the old man Guo was not willing to take part in it, he would have asked for marriage. Now, Junyi is now my beloved concubine. Maybe the prince has given birth to a few for me! The hateful old man Guo, who insisted on doing his own thing, harming others and himself, resigned from office to avoid party disputes, and even sneaked Betrothed Jun Yi to someone else. By the time I learned the truth, she was already in Jinling, thousands of miles away. You said, is he hateful, is he hateful?!!"

The emperor slapped the table heavily, coughed violently a few times, and shouted sharply, that momentum, even Lin Wanrong, who was not afraid of the sky, couldn't help frowning. He also had a lot of contact with the emperor, and had a deep feeling for the emperor's palace, as an emperor. Emotions and anger have always been indistinguishable, and this old emperor has captured the essence of it. Only this time, he was furious for Madam Xiao, and it seemed that he really had a soft spot for Madam Xiao.

"This." Lin Wanrong sighed softly: "Your Majesty, Miss Guo's matter has passed, whether you admit it or not, she is not called Guo Junyi now, she is called Mrs. Xiao. Even if she is a widow, she is Mrs. Xiao's steadfast character, she will not succumb to you."

"No? Why not? If Twenty years ago, I was the great emperor who shook the world, even if Jun Yi was someone else's wife. If I wanted to admit her to the palace, who would dare to say no!" The emperor snorted, and a pale color appeared on his ruddy face. Breathing faster and faster: "Twenty years ago, twenty years ago—"

He muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly widened, his face showed a murderous look, and he flicked his sleeves. He smashed all the teapots and cups on the table to the ground, and roared, "Zhao Mingcheng, I will never share the sky with you!!!"

He looked terrified. Coughing sharply, flushing on his face like blood, he actually collapsed on the chair limply.

My day, don't die, then there's really no play. Lin Wanrong hurried over, supported him and said, "Your Majesty, old man, how are you, Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao—"

"Don't call him!" The emperor slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, but he had unquestionable power.

"Master, your illness—" Lin Wanrong said anxiously.

"I'm not sick!" The emperor smiled gloomily: "Lin San, look at me! You have to remember, I'm not sick. Do you know?"

Looking at his old and pale cheeks, for some reason, Lin Wanrong felt uncomfortable for a while, turned his head and said: "Old man, it's like this, you should say a few words less. I know what to say!"

The emperor glanced at him and hummed: "Lin San, your biggest weakness is that your hands are too soft and your heart is not cruel enough. Do you know what power is?"

Without waiting for Lin Wanrong to shake his head, he continued: "Power is to make you forget your parents and brothers, your wife and children, you will only remember a chair, a supreme chair in the world! For him, you can do anything and dare to do anything. Do it! Lin San, pat your chest and ask, can you do it?!!"

The old emperor was crazy, he asked me what I was doing, Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "Old man, I didn't think about it. I'm in a different position than you, so I won't think about those things. position, do not seek political affairs.”

"Not in his position, not in his own affairs?" The emperor gave him a deep look: "If you were in my position, what would you do?"

This topic is a bit outrageous, Lin Wanrong said with a haha: "The emperor is joking, I am now a small servant, and I am also a deputy servant of the Ministry of Personnel. I am very satisfied, but I have no other ideas!"

The emperor's face gradually changed, and he smiled slowly: "Just kidding, maybe joking. Lin San, do you know why I put the number one plaque in the world on the back door of your house?"

"Probably because the back door of my house is broken, so I got a heavyweight plaque for me to guard the backyard." Master Lin analyzed in a decent manner.

"Guarding the backyard?!" The emperor could not wait to press the boy's head on the ground and step on the ground a few times, he laughed angrily: "If you dare to guard the backyard with the plaque given by me, you Lin San are also the first. Yes. Didn't you see that I won't cut your head off?!"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Old man, I think we have a bit of fate, and maybe there is some relative relationship. What's the use of hanging the sign on my back door?"

The emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As the Supreme Being of Ninety-five, others can't wait to empty their hearts and hearts to understand what I have said, but you are the only one who is so big, and I want me to explain it to you personally. I will give you a plaque on the hall. , is to let everyone know that you have strength, and I trust you! And hanging that plaque on your back door is to remind you—"

"Remind me to be patient!" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Isn't it?!"

The emperor smiled and nodded: "So you have already guessed it, but you still lied to me, I should chop your head off!"

Lin Wanrong looked at him and sighed softly: "Master, how comfortable it is to talk to you like this! You always take care of your body, it's better than anything else."

There was a mist in the emperor's eyes, and he turned his head and said loudly, "Lin San, is the gold medal I gave you still there?"

"Yes." Lin Wanrong took out the gold medal with a smile.

The emperor grabbed it and laughed loudly: "Excellent, excellent, I will reward you with something." He slapped his palm twice: "Ning Fairy—"

A delicate figure fell down like a ghost and was standing in front of Lin Wanrong. The beautiful face made Mr. Lin stunned and said in surprise: "Ning Fairy?! Ning Yuxi?!"

"Lin San, I gave her to you—"
