"Why is it sweet?" Xiao Tang was a little skeptical. He chased her over and kissed her again. When he found that it was really sweet, he was obviously surprised. "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything because of Your Majesty." Lin Su said with a smile.
Xiao Tang pulled his face: "You don't want to say it's because I kissed you."
Lin Su nodded with a smile.
"Then you didn't feel sour before!" Xiao Tang was very unconvinced, but when Lin Su told him to open his mouth, he subconsciously opened his mouth and something fell into his mouth.
Lin Su smiled and said, "You'll know after you eat it."
Naturally, you can't spit out what you put into your mouth. Xiao Tang chewed it twice, and only a faint sweetness spread. He was a little confused: "Then what?"
Lin Su passed a slice of lemon to his mouth. Xiao Tang felt his teeth ache when he smelled the sour taste, but he still leaned over and took a bite. He was ready to shiver all over from the sour taste, but he found that his mouth was filled with a very sweet taste.
His eyes widened in surprise: "What on earth did you give me to eat?"
"Secret." Lin Su said.
Xiao Tang narrowed his eyes and pried open his hands to look, but found nothing. He had no choice but to feel in his arms again. He did find something, but none of it looked edible. He shook Lin Su's shoulders and said, "What on earth is it?!"
"It's a secret, how can I tell it so easily? I'm still waiting for Your Majesty to save me next time you get jealous." Lin Su said.
Xiao Tang's eyes drifted for a moment. "When did I become jealous? It's clearly your fault. You're just leading troops in battle, yet you managed to attract a famous Southwester named Shuang'er back. If the Empress goes out again, my harem will be filled with Shuang'ers who come here to admire her fame, all just to be by my side."
"You said you weren't jealous, but you're so sour that even my secret can't make you sweet." Lin Su kissed him on the cheek, "Mm, sweet and sour candy."
"You're still laughing." Xiao Tang wiped his face with the back of his hand and glared at him.
Lin Su brought the man over, placed him in his arms and said, "But I really have never provoked him."
Xiao Tang put his arms around his neck and rested his head on his shoulder, his voice a little muffled: "I know you didn't provoke him, but I always feel uncomfortable. You are mine alone, but I also know that if you are willing, there are too many people in this world who love and respect you."
If he left this person, he would probably lose half his life, but if this person left him, with his talent and means, there were too many people who wanted to be in his arms.
Even though she is his queen, there are still hateful people coveting her.
"Your Majesty, I want to refute what you said. Do you still remember that after the three-year mourning period is over, you can fill your harem?" Lin Su asked with his head down.
"Of course I wouldn't choose those women like Shuang'er to enter the palace." Xiao Tang looked up at him, "There are only the two of us in this life."
Besides, if he invited those people into the palace, he might not be attracted to him but his queen. Wouldn't that just make things difficult for himself?
"So you don't have to worry, it's just the two of us." Lin Su looked at him and said.
Xiao Tang responded softly, rubbing his forehead against his cheek: "I still feel it's inappropriate. Now that the political situation has been determined, it's time to announce my identity."
If his identity were revealed, those twin girls would have shifted their attention away from Lin Su.
"Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide." Lin Su said with a smile.
Although Xiao Tang seems to act decisively, he actually has thought a lot before he acts. He is used to planning and doing the most reliable things at the best time.
When the emperor went to court, he wore a twelve-ribbed crown that covered half of his face. This was to remind the court officials not to look directly at him, and to prevent the court officials from easily guessing his emotions.
But Liu Yu is just Liu Yu, and unless all the court officials are blind, they will eventually see the bright red lotus mark.
As calm as Ning Xiang, when he saw the mark, he wiped his eyes with his sleeves, fearing that he had seen it wrong. But after looking at it carefully a few more times, he was sure that it was there.
The court officials below would occasionally look up and take a look. Xiao Tang knew that he had achieved his goal and asked, "My dear ministers, do you think there is something wrong with me?"
There was total silence, with only Ning Xiangshen stepping forward again and again to ask, "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, you are... Shuang'er?"
The court officials all thought that Prime Minister Ning was indeed bold, but then they heard the emperor on the high throne say, "That's right. My dear ministers, do you have any objections?"
"We dare not." All the court officials said.
If the princes were still in existence, this incident might cause chaos in the world. However, now that the princes have been pacified, the world is at peace. Hundreds of thousands of troops are in the hands of Your Majesty, and they train every day without slacking off. Regardless of Your Majesty's status, the throne is quite stable.
Prime Minister Ning bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have no objection. However, the Empress is also a twin, and I have never heard of two twins having children together. Although Your Majesty is not yet fully in mourning, for the sake of the continuation of the dynasty, should the selection be brought forward?"
Although it is the mourning period, if the queen is the only one who cannot give birth to a child, it would be a great act of filial piety to end the family line. Therefore, it is reasonable to hold the selection in advance, and no one would say a word about it.
"Your Majesty, I second the motion." The Minister of Rites stepped out and said.
"Selection?" Before Xiao Tang could speak, Lin Su asked, "Are you gentlemen planning to select a few imperial consorts for His Majesty?"
Although Shuang'er is different from other women, she can also give birth to children. Moreover, your Majesty's mark is so bright red, which is also a sign of having many children. Naturally, the only person to be chosen is the emperor's husband.
Several ministers were trying to persuade the Queen, but when they heard Lin Su speak, their hands were sweating and they all swallowed their saliva. They were considering the emperor, but it seemed that they had offended the Queen.
"This... Please forgive me, Queen. The Xiao Kingdom cannot be without an heir. As the Queen, you should benefit everyone and not be jealous..." The Minister of Rites was sweating profusely on the back of his clothes under that gaze.
The Queen was not someone who was easy to deal with. Previously, there were some playboys in the capital who were causing trouble and bullying men and women. Even the son of a cabinet minister was beheaded by the Queen. The cabinet minister's family was also exiled for not educating their children well.
Generals always act differently from scholars. If you really make them angry, you will probably suffer the consequences.
"Jealous?" Lin Su laughed. "Everyone advises married women not to be jealous. If the wives of your ministers are having affairs with outsiders because you can't pass on your inheritance, would you be more magnanimous?"
As soon as he said this, the ministers' faces all looked very happy.
"The Queen is joking." The Minister of Rites said hesitantly.
If the woman in the family really dares to be cuckolded, it is one of the seven grounds for divorce. If there is a child, the wife will be sent to the Buddhist temple. If there is no child, it is possible that the wife will be divorced directly.
"I'm not joking with you." Lin Su said with a smile, "Your Excellency, just ask if it's okay?"
