"You let me interfere in politics. Aren't you afraid that I will disrupt your court because of my incompetence?" Li Yuan asked.
"Since I've agreed to teach you, I must guarantee that you will learn. You're still young, so you have plenty of time to learn anything. Even if you're incredibly intelligent, I wouldn't dare let you go into battle empty-handed." Lin Su lowered his head and said, "Otherwise, wouldn't you be using the people of the world as a training ground?"
Li Yuan confirmed that she had never revealed her worries to him, but he clearly saw it.
He didn't want to be bound by the court, by the secular world, or by etiquette, and this person saw it all.
It is obvious that he is a very tolerant and patient person, otherwise he would not have planned great undertakings as a businessman and allowed these emperors to summon him like a businessman. He does not even have concubines around him. He is a man who can remain calm in the face of temptation. How could such a person be driven by beauty?
Now that things were settled, there was no need for him to be so impatient, but he broke his old ways time and time again, just to let himself go.
He is a man, not a woman. He does not need to stay in the boudoir and act like a girl. Instead, he should do what he wants to do like a man. Only then can he truly break free from the cage.
06 If one knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be full of Buddhist thoughts: [The host is really driven by beauty. ]
It’s just that I won’t get lost in it like other men.
The host has always been calm and would not force others. He would only act when others were willing or when he could see that others were willing.
Li Yuan naturally didn't know. He just pondered for a long time, then held Lin Su's face and kissed him under his encouraging gaze. Although it was a brief touch, it was different from the previous reserved and polite touch.
"Now that you have agreed, I will go back and propose marriage to you. How about marrying you?" Lin Su said, touching his cheek.
Li Yuan raised his eyes to look at him: "I have a special status. Where do you plan to propose marriage?"
When the late emperor passed away, she was also the late emperor's legal wife and would be buried in the Southern Kingdom's imperial mausoleum after her death. If she proposed marriage to the Southern Kingdom, it would be equivalent to a direct slap in the face of the Southern Kingdom. However, if she proposed marriage to the Li Kingdom, it would be an open admission that she was not the Queen Mother of the Southern Kingdom. In any case, it would cause a lot of discussion and make the Southern Kingdom lose face.
"The Kingdom of Li treated you badly, and Emperor Yuanhe and Nan Chuhe treated you even more ungratefully." Lin Su said with a smile, "Since I've offered the betrothal gift, I'll naturally give it to you directly. You don't need this old thing from the Southern Kingdom, so just bring the betrothal gift as a dowry."
"What about your parents?" Li Yuan's fingers trembled a little. He didn't want to use Lin Su, but he really wanted to see his mother.
"Even if you don't tell me, I will take her out of the royal family of Li. The war is imminent, and it is not appropriate to leave your weak point there. I have no parents, so what do you think if I make her the queen mother of Qi?" Lin Su said.
He was not a person who observed etiquette. If he became the ruler of the world, he would naturally follow his own wishes in such small matters.
Li Yuan was genuinely surprised and delighted, and he burst out laughing and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"To pick someone up from the Li Kingdom Palace, it must have been a lot of hard work. I don't know how much effort it took." Lin Su lifted his robe and sat down next to him, patting his legs and saying, "I feel a little bit disappointed with just a kiss."
His expression and behavior were not hints at all, they were clearly indications.
Li Yuan looked at his gesture, wondering how this man could be so creative. He could only grit his teeth and sit on his lap. When he nodded, he put his arm around his shoulders and said, "So, are you satisfied?"
"You're so easy to compromise. Aren't you afraid that I'll bully you all the time in the future?" Lin Su approached him naturally, kissed his cheek and said, "Hmm?"
"How could I let others bully me so easily?" Although Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, it was indeed as Lin Su said, it felt good to be close to the person you like.
The man did not have the luxurious and sweet ambergris that the royal family usually used. Instead, he was wrapped in the fragrance of plants and trees, like the smell of the forest after the rain, very similar to the first hairpin sent to the palace.
"Did you really fall in love with me just now?" Li Yuan asked.
"I have many sources of information, so of course I've seen your portrait." Lin Su hugged his waist tightly and said, "I've been thinking about you for several years. Are you moved?"
"You are clearly lustful, but you always make people feel that you are deeply affectionate." Li Yuan had been with him for several days and knew that he was not a person who would get angry easily. He was even lenient towards the palace maids and never punished them for trivial matters. When he was in love with her, he dared to say anything.
"The Queen Mother is indeed very perceptive. She can see through Lin's true nature at a glance." Lin Su joked with him.
Li Yuan didn't know what the future would hold, but he thought about how his mother and father were so sweet and loving when they were in harmony with each other.
But they later became alienated. Although it was suspected that the emperor was unfaithful, the fact that the queen mother always spoke out against him whenever he made a mistake and never gave him any advice was also a major reason. The fault was naturally with the emperor, but as the man said, no matter how good the relationship is, it needs to be carefully maintained, and no one can know what the ending will be from the beginning.
As they were talking, they heard the sound of swords and spears clashing outside.
"This is the Queen Mother's bedroom. How could Your Majesty bring people in?!"
"I, your son, am not being disrespectful to my father or queen. I came to pay my respects, but was stopped by a few unruly servants who appeared out of nowhere."
"The Empress Dowager is sleeping, Your Majesty, please wait." This was the voice of my aunt. It seemed to be intimidating Emperor Yuanhe, but it was actually reminding the people in the room.
Li Yuan wanted to stand up, but Lin Su hugged him and pressed him on his legs. He said anxiously, "If Emperor Yuanhe finds out now, he will definitely make a big fuss about this."
If he proposed marriage, it would be legitimate, but if they were together before getting married, it would be tantamount to crushing the face of the Southern Kingdom. Emperor Yuanhe would definitely make a big fuss and destroy Lin Su's reputation.
"Are you afraid of him?" Lin Su sat there calmly, not moving.
Emperor Yuanhe said from outside, "It is now daytime, and the Queen Mother has suddenly come to rest. I am worried that the Queen Mother is not feeling well. Please let me in to pay my respects."
"After all, he is the emperor of a country." Li Yuan said.
He knew that Lin Su was powerful, but the actions of the two of them were tantamount to insulting Emperor Yuanhe. If the emperor was angry, corpses would float everywhere, and the empress dowager would be humiliated, which would be equivalent to the loss of the country's dignity. The people would not agree with it, and then Lin Su's momentum would most likely be weakened.
"Since he's here and insisted on coming in, I think he knows." Lin Su said with a smile. He suddenly raised his voice, "Please invite Emperor Yuanhe in."
As soon as his voice came out, there was no more concealment. Li Yuan's eyes widened: "You!"
When the door was opened from the outside, Emperor Yuanhe walked in aggressively. I expected to see the two panicked, but only Li Yuan had a complicated expression. Lin Su remained seated, his eyes cold. "I wonder what brings Emperor Yuanhe here?"
