Chapter 172: Reform Yourself

Emperor Jing had an extraordinary bearing, and was noble and graceful.

The left prime minister has clear wind, bright moon, and beautiful orchids and jade trees.

One is the emperor standing at the top overlooking all living beings.

One is a powerful official who is second only to the emperor and above all others.

The two most noble people in the entire Jing Kingdom were right in front of them.

Lin Xi knelt down devoutly to pay his respects to his Lord.

Jun Lin stared at her with a slightly softened look: "Come here and let me take a good look at you."

She walked in front of Jun Lin, flattered. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating and her heart was pounding.

"Look up."

After hearing Emperor Jing's words, he dared to look the king in the face.

Very young and very handsome.

This was Lin Xi’s first reaction when he saw Emperor Jing.

She clenched her fists tightly to suppress her inner excitement, and with fiery eyes and utmost gratitude she worshipped the Lord of Great Scenery who had given her the opportunity.

Jun Lin was startled by the fiery gaze, but quickly calmed down and spoke clearly and majestically: "Lin Xi?"

Lin Xi put away his usual carefree look, and at this moment, he said respectfully with a gentle look in his eyes, "I am here."

Jun Lin sat dignified on the throne, his back straight, "Do you know what you represent?"

Lin Xi's heart was burning, and his blood was boiling in his limbs. He said in a hoarse and dry voice, "Lord Zuo Xiang has explained everything to me. I know what kind of responsibility I bear."

She originally came to the court just to realize her own ideals, but she never thought that she would become a pioneer for millions of women.

Emperor Jingdi was determined to overcome all difficulties to support her to become the first female official of Dajing, so that she could set an example and pave a broad road for her sisters.

Emperor Jing wanted equal rights for women.

At that moment, this thought exploded in her eyes and she was unable to think. Then she felt indescribable excitement that made every cell in her body tremble.

Emperor Jing wanted to open up the future that countless women yearned for.

Jun Lin asked, "If you become the first, I will push you into the public eye, which also means you will have to endure more ridicule and cold stares, and put in more effort and time. Have you thought about it? Are you really willing to take on this responsibility?"

Lin Xi was firm and fearless: "I am willing!"

It was not until later that she realized that there was a woman who carried the entire country on her shoulders, and that the man who had to bear more pressure than her used his soft body to protect her and help her through the thorns.

Lin Xi thought she was the first one. When she finally stood on top after enduring all the cold stares, she realized that someone had already avoided the most difficult suffering for her.

Jun Lin's sharp facial lines gradually softened. She made a gesture, and Ming He understood and continued to talk to Lin Xi: "Your Majesty and I will do our best to train you. We also hope that you will be diligent and self-reflective, endure the humiliation that ordinary people cannot endure, and endure the hardships that ordinary people cannot endure, so that you can achieve great things."

Lin Xi knelt down, put his hands on the ground and kowtowed to the two of them with full respect: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

Jun Lin has a very good impression of Lin Xi, and his attitude towards Yujian Villa has also become much more relaxed.

His eyes slowly fell on the two people who were asking for forgiveness, and Jun Lin said to the owner of the manor: "You have a good wife. In the future, Lin Xi will work for me, and the achievements she has made can offset your mistakes."

The owner of the manor was stunned, and suddenly looked up at the young emperor in disbelief.

He thought that according to Emperor Jing's temperament, he would be executed.

The man's eyes were complicated as he looked at his doted daughter, then at his beloved wife, and then his gaze fell on Jun Lin. After struggling for a long time, he chose to kowtow and express his gratitude.

Only then did Lin Xi smile with relief.

Tang Qianqian gritted her teeth and watched her father's changed attitude, her eyes widened and she straightened her back silently, refusing to admit defeat.

Jun Lin crossed his legs with his fingers intertwined and rested his chin, looking casual and lazy.

"I have neither the mood nor the time to play with a little girl. You should know that my attitude is the attitude of Jingguo. If you don't want Yujian Villa to be destroyed, you'd better stay in your place."

The light and floating words showed her the pride and capital of an emperor in a dignified manner.

"Whatever sins you committed in the past, go and atone for them. Don't hang around under my nose anymore."

She squinted her eyes and yawned: "I am tired. Since you are here to apologize, you should kneel for a full hour before leaving."

Junlin is the king and has no interest in wasting time on the intrigues of small people.

The emperor walked away with a straight figure. Ming He paused as she left, turned to Tang Qianqian and said gently, "Your Majesty doesn't care about small bugs, but I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. If something is not good for the king and the country, I will find it and strangle it no matter how small the bug is."

He was given the power of law and order by the king, so he must hold high the scepter and let its light shine on every inch of Jingguo's land.

Those who break the law will be punished.

No matter how approachable Minghe was, he was still the Left Prime Minister, second only to Emperor Jingdi.

Seeing that both her parents had surrendered, Tang Qianqian no longer dared to act recklessly as she had no one to rely on. Fine beads of cold sweat had already seeped out of her forehead as she feared Zuo Xiang's gentle yet harsh shock.

Only after the two figures completely disappeared did Lin Xi take a deep breath and say, "Kneel down and reform yourself today. Don't stab me and affect my career."

The owner of the manor remained silent, but agreed with Lin Xi's words.

"Qianqian, your father spoiled you, but it's not too late to correct it now. You were born into a wealthy family and have learned to read and write since childhood, which are opportunities that ordinary women don't have. Since you have such good conditions, why don't you do something useful?"

The loving mother admonished and taught: "Since Emperor Jing has spared your life, you must not repeat the same mistake. I am also working hard for you. If I succeed, you will have the opportunity to stand in the court like those men in the future."

Lin Xi walked over, squatted down, and gently held the girl in his arms: "Work hard with me. There are obviously more meaningful things for us to do. Why do you have to be so stubborn and willful and annoying?"

"Our Qianqian has always been beautiful and outstanding. Come back, kid."

Tang Qianqian rested her head on Lin Xi's shoulder. Facing her mother who had been away from home for a long time and who she thought hated her, tears suddenly fell from her eyes. She cried heartbreakingly: "Mother... Mother..."

Lin Xi said softly: "Look, your father became an enemy of Emperor Jing because of you. Forcing the emperor to abdicate is a capital crime. The entire Yujian Villa almost ceased to exist. Qianqian, you must not make any more mistakes. If it weren't for Emperor Jing's kindness, your father and I would be dead now. Can you accept that we died because of you?"

Tang Qianqian almost collapsed just thinking about that scene. She shook her head vigorously and tears flowed even more fiercely. She sobbed like a helpless little beast: "Mother, I was wrong... I was really wrong... I will never dare to do it again... I will apologize to Emperor Jing, I will reform myself, and you don't die..."

Tang Qianqian cried so hard that the owner of the manor also had tears in his eyes.

Her daughter was her own flesh and blood. How could Lin Xi not feel pain? She also started to cry.

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was sobbing.

Jun Lin, who had been watching secretly behind the pearl curtain, raised his lips and smiled, then walked away completely.

Minghe also turned his gaze away from the three people, smiled and followed them without saying a word.
