Seeing the guards guarding the door looking at her with excitement, Xie Linlang couldn't help but nod to them.

It's hard work to have to work outside when it rains. Later, we have to have two sheds built at the gate of the city. It would be better to be more humane.

With Xie Linlang's face, it was impossible for the guard guarding the door to check too much and let them in directly.

After Xie Linlang and others entered, the guards were still a little bit unable to recover.

One of them sighed, "...It's really unfair to me. I don't want to be as talented as Xie Guoshi. It would be nice to be as handsome as him..."

The people next to him laughed when they heard this.

"You're too greedy! It's different for me. I'm half as good-looking as Xie Guoshi, so I'm thankful..."

They are so eager, and one can imagine that the people in the city are even more so.

After Xie Linlang entered the city, she originally thought that it was raining and there were no pedestrians on the street, so not many people would notice that she was back.

But she misjudged her own charm. In addition to her own actions, coupled with Qin Jue's secret and deliberate flattery, Xie Linlang is now the favorite of Da Qin, attracting onlookers wherever she goes!

On the other side, the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The originally heavy rain gradually turned into a steady drizzle.

The emperor's master stood in the courtyard watching the rain. After a while, a steward came forward and said.

"Master Emperor, shopkeeper Chu is here. He said that there are some details about the goods that he would like to ask you for instructions."

The emperor's master frowned slightly when he heard this. He was wearing a purple robe and his long hair was tied behind his head. He was dressed completely at home. He didn't plan to see outsiders today.

"Where are they now?"

The housekeeper said, "Because he looks like a foreigner, it is not convenient for him to pass through the house, so he waits outside the door."

The emperor's eyebrows tightened. He was waiting for someone, and no one else was allowed to interfere. However, the delivery was imminent, so he wanted to see what else the person had to do.

Seeing the emperor's master walking towards the gate, the housekeeper quickly followed with his servants.

The originally closed door was opened little by little, and a man in black robes, holding a blue oil-paper umbrella, stood alone at the door.

The cover of the umbrella was so low that the emperor thought it was the shopkeeper, so he only glanced at it and asked coldly.

"What else?"

After he asked this question, he realized something was wrong, because the man in black in front of him raised the umbrella, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

This face was something he had always dreamed of, and it was obvious that she had grown up...

Xie Linlang asked with a smile as she bent her bright eyes.

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? Master."

Shen Junqing's expression suddenly froze!

His pupils were deep and dark, but the moment he saw her, they seemed to set off a huge wave!

His hands hidden in his sleeves tightened smoothly, and his whole body became as tense as a fully-stretched bow string.

The stalemate didn't last long before he slowly raised his lips and chuckled.

His elegant and handsome face suddenly brightened, and he acted as gentle as before.

"Linlang is back..."

*

The entire Imperial Master's Mansion suddenly became nervous.

A few years ago, Xie Linlang was just like a young master to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Although he was noble, he did not need to mobilize troops.

But now, Xie Linlang is different from before, and she is better than her predecessor. They must be cautious when treating her again, and they must treat her according to high standards!

The series of salutes from everyone made Xie Linlang a little confused. Sure enough, his status was different and the treatment he received was also different.

Even if she didn't care, the people around her wouldn't neglect her either. This made her feel embarrassed and at the same time, there was a slight gap in her heart.

Once her status became equal to that of the Imperial Master, there was no going back.

Just like her former little friend, even if he wants to play with her now, their family will ask him to be cautious and even restrict their interactions.

This may be due to the cold weather at high places.

In the tea room, the Imperial Master asked everyone to retreat, knelt down on the other side of the coffee table, and cooked tea with his own hands.

He needs to use this process to calm himself down, otherwise, he is really afraid of what he will do and disrupt all his plans.

Xie Linlang sat cross-legged on the floor with a leisurely attitude. She looked around and found that the Imperial Master's tea room had a lot of good tea.

Once the imperial court began to promote business, the people took notice, and many things that were previously unavailable could now be introduced to the capital.

After a while, the Imperial Master pushed a cup of tea in front of Xie Linlang and said warmly.

"Mingqian Rain Dew Tea is a thing that only came out last year. Can Linlang try it?"

Xie Linlang was not polite when he heard this. He picked up the tea cup and played with it for a while, then drank it all in one gulp, like a cow chewing peonies.

"Yes, this tea actually has three flavors in the mouth, which is quite unique."

The Imperial Master lowered his eyes and smiled softly. His smile looked normal at first glance, but there was a hint of ridicule upon closer inspection.

He stretched out his hand and put it on Xie Linlangman again, and his originally gentle voice gradually became deeper.

"Linlang broke her appointment. She agreed not to come back for two years. Why did she come back today?"

Xie Linlang picked up the tea cup, as if she didn't feel the gradually changing atmosphere, and still said with a smile.

"Because I am going to fight in the Northland soon. I might not come back, but who can say for sure about the war? Even I have to be prepared to die when I go to the battlefield."

"Of course, I'm not afraid of death, what I'm afraid of is having regrets.

So when I looked back on the past, I found that there was still one thing I couldn’t let go of, so I came back..."

Shen Junqing's heart skipped a beat, and her originally gentle expression gradually became complicated and deep.

"What can make you so worried?"

Xie Linlang smiled, drank all the tea in the cup, then turned the empty cup towards him.

"You."

The emperor's master was stunned.

Xie Linlang stood up and saluted him very solemnly.

"Master, there is something I have been hiding from you. I originally thought that after returning to Beijing, I would find an opportunity to tell you slowly. However, the war broke out and I don't know if I will still have the chance to tell you. So, why not just Say it now!"

"Master, I am a woman."

For a moment, the drop of a needle could be heard in the tea room, and the Emperor's pupils narrowed slightly.

He thought Xie Linlang would never tell this secret, but he didn't expect that she would tell it like this, so simply and openly, it seemed like his madness these days was all a joke...

He laughed softly, and then the laughter grew louder. Then he poured tea for Xie Linlang while laughing. When the tea was about to overflow the rim of the cup, he frowned.

"Why do you say that?"

He seemed a little confused and asked, "Isn't it bad to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Xie Linlang smiled calmly, "Because I no longer need to use this men's clothing to protect myself, I will not only tell you, but also tell the whole world."

This was her original plan. She was reused by the Ze Kingdom and also helped the Swamp Kingdom. With her "record", she has now become the world's largest and can go anywhere.
