My aunt accompanied me, but she was worried: "Empress Dowager, this..."
"Now even Your Majesty cannot resist Qi, let alone us." Li Yuan knew that his power was limited and he could not offend this person. Fortunately, although this person was not particularly polite, he did not like to bully others. He was much easier to get along with than Emperor Yuanhe.
My aunt sighed slightly: "But if this gets out, the Queen Mother's reputation will be..."
"If the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, what's the use of reputation?" Li Yuan said softly.
Lin Su moved his ears and heard the conversation behind him clearly. In order to survive in this palace full of intrigue, it is necessary to be sober. There is nothing wrong with them thinking this way.
If she marries him, her reputation will naturally be preserved. If she doesn't marry him, when the country is destroyed, the title of empress dowager will no longer exist. Who will care about a man's chastity arch?
Of course, even if he was unwilling in the end, Lin Su would not allow the world to slander him. After all, this was still his mission.
When Lin Su came, many people in Taihe Palace looked at him, and everyone was curious about how the empress dowager dared to bring a man from outside the palace in broad daylight.
But Lin Su was calm and composed, not at all as kind as he was in front of Li Yuan. The palace servants did not dare to look at him openly, so they could only lower their heads and take a few sneak glances at him, trying to guess the man's identity in their hearts.
Lin Su entered the hall and saw the blueprints and half-carved wooden fragments on the table above the couch. Li Yuan followed behind him. Although this man walked fast, he was always able to catch up when he was about to fall behind. It was obvious that he was waiting for him.
Just as he was sighing at the man's meticulousness, Li Yuan saw the mess on the table and blushed slightly: "That was half-carved and unfinished."
It was a mistake for a foreign man to enter and see such a sloppy side of the house.
Lin Su walked over there, picked up a piece of semi-finished product and said, "The Queen Mother's craftsmanship is not bad."
Li Yuan followed and said, "It's just a practice piece, not as good as the one you made yourself."
How did this man grow up to be able to maintain peace in the country with military power, govern the country with literary skills, and have such a sophisticated mind?
"I was in a hurry that day, so I only had time to make you a Luban lock," Lin Su said as he lifted the edge of his robe and sat down on the couch. "I also know how to make a few toys. Would you mind making them for me?"
Li Yuan thought the Luban lock was already quite ingenious, but he didn't expect him to be able to do anything else. He felt a little interested and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."
The palace servants brought new wood, and Lin Su picked up the carving knife to look at it. He could start carving directly without drawing lines or setting points. He polished and placed one exquisite little gadget after another aside. Li Yuan sat on the other side and watched carefully, but he didn't know what he wanted to make.
Knowing that Lin Su had put down the carving knife, he pieced together the semi-finished products one by one, and finally formed a square shape.
The wood color was the same. Lin Su twisted it a few times to make sure there was no problem, then smiled and said, "What words would you like to engrave on this?"
"Engraving?" Li Yuan stared at the six-sided square with his eyes fixed. He saw clearly what Lin Su had done when he turned it twice just now.
"Well, ink is easy to fall off, so engraving is more convenient." Lin Su said with a smile, "If you don't tell me, I will decide it myself."
Li Yuan was a little confused: "You did this, so it's up to you to decide."
Lin Su picked up the carving knife and carved some words. He raised his eyebrows slightly and carved six different words on each of the nine grids on the six sides.
"Li..." When Li Yuan saw the first word, he realized that this person might want to carve his name.
It wasn't until the second word was his name that I felt it was as expected, but when I reached the third word: "Qing?"
Admire...admire?
The fifth word...Lin.
The sixth word...Su.
Li Yuan's breathing stagnated: "I have never..."
"You can read it the other way around if you want." Lin Su said with a smile, "Lin Su admires Li Yuan, it's the same."
Li Yuan: “…”
What's the same?
No matter how rare or exquisite this item is, I'm afraid I can't show it to others.
This person is really unexpected.
Lin Su carved the words, polished it again, and placed it in front of Li Yuan, saying, "Try it."
Li Yuan didn't know what to feel at first, but now that the thing was in front of him, he couldn't hide his interest. The sound of it turning after twisting it a few times sounded very comfortable. It could turn on all four sides, but although it was still square, the words on the six sides were messed up. Li Yuan twisted it a few times to restore it, but it became even more messy.
He pursed his lips and continued to twist, seemingly unstoppable, obviously immersed in it.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Lin Su waved his hand to send away the person who wanted to come up to change tea, and just watched Li Yuan playing there seriously.
The boy was persistent and serious, and that sense of vitality could no longer be suppressed.
It wasn't until the lights were lit in the palace and his aunt came to deliver the lanterns that Li Yuan came out of that state. Only then did he realize that he had been addicted for a long time. He opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say: "I..."
"Is it fun?" Lin Su asked without any impatience.
Li Yuan nodded: "Well, I kept you waiting for a long time. You should have reminded me."
"It's okay. It's quite interesting to see you so serious." Lin Su said with a smile.
Li Yuan felt that this person was a little too special to him, but this specialness was clearly comforting. "Thank you for waiting, Your Majesty. However, restoring this toy is a little difficult."
"There is a way to restore it with just a cup of tea." Lin Su glanced at it and said.
Li Yuan was curious: "What is it?"
"Just take it apart and reinstall it." Lin Su said with a smile.
Li Yuan: "...then wouldn't that defeat the purpose of this toy?"
Lin Su took the Rubik's Cube, turned it over several times, and flipped it flexibly with his fingers under the light. When he stood up and put the Rubik's Cube in Li Yuan's hand, the six sides had returned to their original appearance.
Li Yuan stared at him blankly, holding the Rubik's Cube in his hands. He had never expected that the thing that had previously left him at a loss would be so easy in this man's hands, as if it were as easy as using his arm. "You clearly can do it, so why did you say from the beginning that I had to dismantle it before I could put it back together again?"
"Of course I don't want to discourage you, but seeing how eager you are to recover, I naturally have to fulfill your wish. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well tonight." Lin Su smiled and brushed his hair, then kissed his forehead and said, "It's getting dark. I should go. Get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
He kissed naturally and walked away freely. Li Yuan scratched the Rubik's Cube unconsciously, and felt that what the man was controlling with ease was not the Rubik's Cube, but clearly... his thoughts.
