Chapter 34 Do his step-mothers like him not to take a bath? Do they like him to be hairy?
Early the next morning, Lin Mo was pulled up by her father to welcome the second prince of Xijiang.
"Dad, this is your job, you can go by yourself, why do you have to bring me along? Today is a rare day without court, can't you let me have a good rest?"
Lin Mo was carried away, her face was extremely hopeless, and there were two super big dark circles under her eyes.
Last night, she stayed up until midnight to carve that thing, and this inspiration came and she couldn't stop it, so she had to hurry up while the inspiration was there.
Minister Lin used his other hand to help her put her hat on straight, and then said unhappily: "Do you think I am willing to take you there? It was the Emperor who asked me to take you there. Lord Li also has to go there to record it. As his subordinate, you must follow him."
"I'm warning you, you'd better behave yourself, otherwise I'll show you how I'll deal with you when I come back!"
Lin Mo: ...
How am I not being obedient? I behave myself every day, okay!
She basically doesn't say a word in court every day, and just stands by obediently every day. Is this not being obedient?
(Crowd: You don't say anything with your mouth, but your mental activities are quite interesting.)
The system looked at her like this and comforted her, saying: [Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I'll tell you a few more stories and you'll be in high spirits! ]
Minister Lin's hand trembled, and he almost threw Lin Mo out.
Lin Mo was horrified, and immediately hugged his father's thighs with his hands and feet, and then said with a trembling voice: "Dad, even if you are not used to it, don't throw me out, I am your biological child after all!"
Minister Lin: ... If you were not my biological child, you would have flown out now.
You still want to eat melons at this time. Although he is also very curious, can't you be quiet for a while now?
The emperor does not need to be present in person to receive an envoy from a small country, so the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the reception and the historian is responsible for recording.
Lin Mo followed his father expressionlessly, waiting for the second prince.
System: [Here it comes! ]
As the system spoke, everyone hurriedly looked into the distance.
As expected, the envoys from Western Xinjiang came. The one sitting on the horse and walking in front should be the second prince of Western Xinjiang.
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the second prince carefully, then said with disdain: [Do the hair of these foreigners have such thick hair? Isn't this second prince only 28 years old, a little older than our prince, but why does he look like 30 years old to me! ]
[And looking at his big beard, I always feel that he stinks. ]
The system echoed and said: [Your feeling is not wrong, this second prince of Western Xinjiang has not taken a bath for half a month, and his body is indeed stinking, but he has covered it up with spices. ] Everyone
's face changed at once, and there was disgust in their eyes.
The expression on Minister Lin's face fell all of a sudden. He hoped that the Second Prince could not hear what this little bastard said, otherwise the peace between the two countries would be over.
Eunuch Li also followed him in disguise. What he wanted to find out was whether this foreigner could hear what Lin Mo and the system said.
"Ur, I have seen you all," the Second Prince of Xijiang performed their country's etiquette, and he looked quite honest.
Minister Lin, as the Minister of Rites, began to communicate with the Second Prince first, and the two of them tested each other back and forth.
Lin Mo stood by and could not understand what they were saying at all, but these two people looked too close, and it felt like they were very intimate when they talked.
[Tongzi? What is my father doing with the Second Prince flirting with each other? He is so close to her, doesn't he think the second prince stinks? Be careful or I will tell my mother about him flirting with other men!
Lord Li, who was standing next to her, rolled his eyes when he heard her words and was choked by his own saliva.
Lord Kobayashi! You can't talk nonsense about this matter! He is your own father!
The system is also a fool, it has no crooked intestines, it says whatever it sees.
[It shouldn't be, your father loves your mother very much, and the second prince of Xijiang also likes beautiful women but not handsome uncles. As for why they act so close, it may be just a courtesy.
The officials at the back lowered their heads and were about to go crazy. Now their emotions were extremely complicated.
First, they were afraid that Lin Mo's secret would be discovered by people from other countries, and second, they wondered why this little ancestor was eating melons without knowing the occasion!
However, judging from the expressions of the other envoys, it seemed that they should not be able to hear the conversation between Lord Lin and the system.
Eunuch Li even pretended to have misheard and asked someone if he had heard a woman's voice.
The man shook his head in confusion. How could there be any woman's voice? Except for the dwarf at the back, who was not sure whether he was a man or a woman, weren't all the others men?
The dwarf - Lin Mo.
After getting a positive answer, Eunuch Li was relieved at once. It seemed that only people from their country could hear the voice of this little ancestor.
After the courtesy, everyone present went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
Eunuch Li left early. After all, this matter had to be reported to the emperor in advance.
"It's good that we can't hear it. If we can't hear it, then we have the advantage. From now on, wherever there are envoys, bring that little Lin girl over. Even if she is useless, we have to listen to more jokes from people from other countries!"
Eunuch Li: ...
It's over. The emperor is getting more and more unserious. He used to suppress himself when he had no money, but now that the treasury has a little foundation, he has let himself go.
Especially now that there is a devil who is afraid of chaos in the world and eats melons every day.
"Ur, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty!"
The second prince of Xijiang saluted Emperor Xuande respectfully. To be honest, the first contact between this second prince and the second prince of our country is a polarization.
The second prince of my country is handsome and gentle, but this second prince looks like a bear.
I don't know what ability he has to attract those young ladies. Is it possible that their aesthetic standards in Western Xinjiang are different?
Lin Mo: [System, how did the second prince attract his 122 concubines with his appearance? Is it his skills in bed? Or do his concubines like that he doesn't take a bath and likes that he has a lot of hair?]
"Poof!" The third prince sprayed the tea out of his mouth without paying attention.
Everyone looked at the third prince, who smiled dryly and said, "The tea is too hot."
The tea is too hot. It was obvious that he was shocked by Lin Mo's words. Everyone present was very surprised and secretly looked at the second prince of Xijiang.
Well, he has a lot of hair, but he doesn't like to take a bath. With so much hair and not taking a bath, no wonder they produce a lot of spices there, is it to cover up the bad smell?
The second prince of Xijiang always felt that many eyes were staring at him, but when he turned around, he found that these officials were all looking at each other and no one was looking at him.
Isn't that right? Could he be wrong?
Officials: Phew~, that was a close call! We were almost discovered!
The emperor above was speechless when he saw his ministers secretly looking at others like thieves.
Every time the second prince of Xijiang turned his head, the people behind him quickly retracted their heads and eyes. It really looked particularly demonic for such a large group of people to do this action together.
Although their movements were small, the emperor sitting above could really see them clearly.
Emperor Xuande looked at Eunuch Li speechlessly, and both of them had the same helpless look in their eyes.
Can these people not be so obvious!
