The next morning, dawn broke in the east.
Li Xin groggily awoke from his bed, the reason for which was that his bladder was bursting with urgency, causing him to wake up in pain.
"Quick, quick, open the door for me, I need to relieve myself!"
He hurriedly put on a coat, not even noticing that his upper body was completely bare, after all, nature calls.
The maids around him couldn't help but blush and smile sheepishly at Li Xin's imposing figure.
He was completely bewildered. After relieving himself, he walked out of the toilet with satisfaction, washed his hands, and glanced at the bronze mirror.
I immediately blushed.
"No way? Didn't I just let these servants see everything?"
He immediately felt embarrassed, wrapped his coat tightly around his tall frame, and was about to return to his room.
Unexpectedly, he ran into his good friend Li Lin, who was also in a hurry to urinate, on the way.
"Hey, big brother, you're awake? We have to go to the morning court soon, hurry up and get ready, let's go!"
Li Lin found it strange that his older brother was wrapped up so tightly, considering it was already summer.
Although the temperature difference between day and night is not too great during this period in Daqin, it must be at least 20 degrees Celsius during the day, right?
Li Xin's appearance piqued his curiosity.
"Li Lin, it's still early for the morning court session, what's the rush? Yesterday, I had to call you. By the way, what happened last night? I remember you were making a ruckus in the front yard. I was going to ask, but I was too drunk to get up."
"Brother, thanks to you, His Majesty is going to betroth his youngest daughter, Princess Manyin, to me!"
"Huh? His Majesty really betrothed Princess Manyin to you?"
He looked shocked.
This left Li Lin completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Why doesn't the older brother believe what his own brother says?
"Li Lin, you mustn't lie to your brother! Princess Manyin is His Majesty's most beloved youngest daughter, the apple of his eye. It's said that he once wanted to marry her to Li Si's son, Li You, but the plan fell through because Princess Manyin disliked Li Si's character..."
Others do not know how much His Majesty dotes on Princess Manyin.
How could Li Xin, who once served as the Imperial Guard General alongside His Majesty, not know this?
Princess Manyin was the apple of His Majesty's eye.
Whoever marries Princess Manyin means that His Majesty will be grooming her as an elite of the empire for a period of time!
That's why Li Xin was so hesitant to confirm.
If that's really the case.
How big must his face be?
His Majesty even wants to marry his daughter to his younger brother.
The key point is that in his eyes, his younger brother is a good-for-nothing who can't do anything, yet His Majesty still betrothed his most beloved princess to him.
What a huge honor!
"Brother, it's absolutely true. When has your little brother ever lied to you?"
"well!"
Li Xin let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky and roared, tilting his head at a 45-degree angle, and said helplessly, "What virtue or ability do I, Li Xin, possess to be so highly regarded by His Majesty? To actually let his precious princess marry a scoundrel like you, it's simply a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"
"Brother, I'm a capable person too, you know?"
"Li Lin, you must make a good impression these days. At least be more proactive in the Censorate. Don't tell stories to the other censors like you did yesterday. That way, your foolish brother can have a better explanation before His Majesty!"
Li Xin was overjoyed.
Although His Majesty betrothed Princess Manyin to his younger brother, who was at least a member of the Li family.
This demonstrates His Majesty's high regard for him; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a shocking decision.
well!
What merit or ability do I, Li Xin, possess?
How could His Majesty treat me with such great favor?
I am so grateful!
"Brother, don't worry, when has your little brother ever embarrassed you?"
"Well......"
Li Xin rolled his eyes at him, almost cursing under his breath. How could he not know how much of a suicidal person this guy in front of him was?
Today, I guess I talked for ages but didn't hear a thing.
He shook his head, sighed, and walked straight ahead.
Unexpectedly, her steps were a bit too big, and she accidentally stepped on her own coat, instantly exposing the parts of her body that were covered to the air.
Li Lin's eyes widened as he glanced at Li Xin.
He was so ashamed that he wished he could disappear into the ground.
"Brother, I never expected that with your tall and mighty physique, your weapon would be so miniature and cartoonish! It truly surprises me!"
"Li Lin, you little bastard, you heartless scoundrel, just you wait! When you get to the Censorate, you'll be sorry!"
Li Xin was furious and embarrassed, his face turning red.
He hurriedly wrapped himself up and rushed to his room.
Li Lin was left behind with a smile on his face.
to be honest.
Li Xin's weapon was quite large; Li Lin was just teasing him on purpose.
He never expected his good older brother to be so easily defeated; it was truly unexpected.
Half an hour later.
Both Li Lin and Li Xin, dressed in their official robes and surrounded by servants, went straight to the palace.
The sky was still not very bright, with a few scattered stars in the sky.
