But when he looked at Kang Boyu, not at his face, but only at his hands, he knew that he was good at riding and shooting. He was able to become a General of Cavalry at such a young age. His future was really promising. He was a hero on horseback, so why should he waste his life in the harem?
"This marriage is a perfect match," Li Yuan said suddenly. "Duke Kangguo has defended the frontiers and made distinguished military achievements. With your children's marriage, I am also adding a pair of jade ruyi to your descendants. I wish you a happy and peaceful marriage."
Li Yuan's words really surprised everyone, but since he had already spoken, Emperor Yuanhe could not say anything else. He could only hold the wine glass tightly and look at Li Yuan.
Kang Baiyu thanked her and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"I heard that your father has been fond of ingenious toys recently. I see that you are a little tired, so I would like to take advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner to invite the toy maker to the palace. Why not let him design a few more toys for you to entertain you?" Emperor Yuanhe said.
Although he looked filial, the people in the palace looked at each other and knew that His Majesty was displeased and was driving them away. It was likely that today's matter would not end well.
Li Yuan felt a little depressed, but he also knew that his words were insignificant and that helping others to this extent was already crossing his own boundaries. If he continued to help others by force, he was afraid that it would really bring disaster to himself.
You can show gratitude when it does not go against your own wishes, but if it goes against your wishes, the gratitude for helping you will be the most insignificant existence in this palace.
Li Yuan twitched the corner of his lips and said, "The emperor is so filial, it relieves me of a worry. I will go back for now, you can continue."
My aunt helped him up, and the group left in the same grand manner as when they came.
He looks young, but he speaks the kind of words that only a lady in her forties would say, which is really interesting.
Lin Su smiled and said, "This person is quite kind."
Even though he was in a helpless position, he knew how to think of others, which was rare in this palace.
[She's beautiful in both appearance and soul, how about this?] 06 It's like a matchmaker introducing Lin Su to a date.
Lin Su sighed: [That's right, if you like it, you can go ahead.]
06: [Please don't joke with the system. This is cross-dimensional, and there's not even Platonic love.]
[I can be a mouthpiece.] Lin Su was quite self-aware of sacrificing himself for the system.
06 Not grateful at all: [No thanks, is this not to your taste? ]
[Yes, but she's already someone else's wife. If you try to steal someone else's wife, God will punish you.] Lin Su stood up and said.
06: [The previous emperor is dead.]
[Toying with a widow is an even more unforgivable sin.] Lin Su really looked like a gentleman at this moment.
06, however, feels that since the host has no one to tease, it is easy for him to become addicted to playing with the system.
Once you fall in love, you will ruin your life.
"Who is Lin Su? The Queen Mother summoned him." A palace maid came forward with a dustpan.
Lin Su straightened his clothes, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "It is I."
The palace maid looked up slightly, looking down at him. When she saw Lin Su, she raised her brows and said, "You have a good appearance. It will help you avoid frightening the Queen Mother."
"Yes, it's my honor." Lin Su said with a smile.
"Come with me." said the palace servant.
Lin Su nodded to the guards and left. The palace attendant continued, "His Majesty summoned you to the palace so that the toys you made could entertain the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has little to do, so make more toys so she doesn't have to worry about other mundane matters. If you can't keep the Queen Mother's attention, His Majesty will punish you."
"It's from the province of mine." Lin Su knew that this palace servant should have been sent by the emperor.
The emperor could not vent his anger openly because the empress dowager disobeyed his wishes, so he could only ask her to stop interfering in other matters, which was a disguised form of house arrest.
It's just a small disobedience now, but the emperor is already so vigilant. If the empress dowager stays in this palace for a long time, if one day she crosses the emperor's bottom line, I'm afraid that even if someone assassinates her, there will be no one to ask, and she will have nowhere to seek justice.
Therefore, in the original world line, when the Li Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom were in opposition, Li Yuan was ruthlessly used as a bargaining chip.
With Lin Su's current abilities, he could steal the person out, but he would probably have to remain anonymous for the rest of his life.
Not being able to live a happy life is much worse than living in this palace, and it’s not worth it.
Lin Su entered the Empress Dowager's palace, where he was greeted by a palace maid. Then he went to the inner room, where an aunt with a kind face came out to greet him. When she saw Lin Su, she was quite surprised and actually smiled.
Lin Su was somewhat puzzled. He bowed and asked, "May I ask why you are laughing, Auntie? But what did I do wrong? Please point it out, so that I don't frighten the Queen Mother."
"No, your clothes and appearance are very appropriate." said the aunt with a smile.
It was because it was too appropriate, and it was far from what the Queen Mother had imagined.
"Come with me." said the aunt.
Lin Su seemed to be thinking about something, but he followed. However, when he got to the hall, there were many palace servants standing there, and there was also a screen blocking the front of the hall.
It was not convenient for people in the inner palace to see outsiders, even the queen was the same. There was a shadowy figure sitting behind the screen. Lin Su saluted and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."
Suddenly, there was a sound from behind. Lin Su moved his ears and heard a quiet question from behind: "Isn't it a master?"
He finally understood why the aunt laughed just now.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. The master is very young and has a good appearance." The aunt said with a smile.
Silence returned inside, and a light cough was heard: "Please stand up, aunt, please take a seat. Was it you who made that Luban lock earlier?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Lin Su thanked her and took a seat. "It is I."
"Did you design this? You are quite clever." Li Yuan was originally in a bad mood, but now he calmed down.
"It was not designed by me. I just learned this method from a master and made it into a mechanical toy. It is its blessing if it can make the Queen Mother smile." Lin Su said.
"Making toys is just inferior..." Li Yuan's words were about to burst out, but he stopped abruptly. "Then can you tell me the secret?"
"Of course. I have some drawings here to explain. If the Queen Mother likes it, she can study it carefully." Lin Su said with a smile.
The original purpose of the Luban lock was naturally not to be a clever toy, but to be used to build houses and bridges. It was effortless, natural and brought benefits to the people.
Li Yuan was the youngest son of the Li Kingdom. He must have received imperial education and could see the ins and outs of it. However, being in his position, even if he knew or saw something, he could not say it out loud, otherwise he would only arouse fear.
The aunt took the drawings in, and Li Yuan looked through them carefully. When he had any questions, he asked Lin Su, who would give him detailed answers.
