When Lin Yuxin was out, she seldom dressed up. She would just wear a plain dress and a simple hairstyle and go out. When Xiaodie wanted to dress her up, she thought it was too much trouble.
Even though her head is so heavy with so many jewels on it, she still likes to collect gold and silver jewels.
"Stop praising me and let's go!"
Lin Yuxin glared at her and said.
When Lin Yuxin walked to the front hall, she saw Zhao Hanya and Lin Chenglie were already waiting there.
"Don't talk nonsense when you enter the palace, understand? And don't think of anything treasonous in your heart, do you hear me?"
When Zhao Hanya saw Lin Yuxin coming out, she hurriedly grabbed Lin Yuxin's hand and gave her some instructions with concern.
She was frightened at the last state banquet. This girl said some disrespectful words in her heart. If she said them out by accident and offended the emperor, the emperor would be furious and their entire Zhao Mansion would be finished!
"Got it! Don't worry!"
Although Lin Yuxin didn't know why her mother wanted her not to be able to think about it in her heart, she was not afraid. She could just keep silent and curse in her heart!
When Zhao Hanya saw her like this, she knew that this girl didn't take it to heart.
"Don't worry, mother. I will send my sister to the palace and I will keep an eye on her."
Lin Chenglie comforted her from the side.
He also knew that his sister was a brave person, and he hoped that she would not do anything weird to scare him today.
Lin Yuxin sat in the carriage, escorted by Lin Chenglie, and drove towards the palace under Zhao Hanya's worried gaze.
Because she had been to the palace once, Lin Yuxin was not as curious this time.
She and Lin Chenglie were taken to the door of the imperial study and waited. There were no seats available, so they just stood there for nearly half an hour.
[What's wrong with this emperor! He called her here so early, and she's just left there? Hasn't the morning court session finished yet? Oh my god, my legs are about to break! The palace is really a place where people are eaten! ]
Lin Yuxin stood there with a bitter face, and started to switch legs to make both legs feel more relaxed.
Lin Chenglie on the side looked at his sister's shaking body in silence. If you didn't know better, you would think she had fleas on her body. She was twisting and turning for something, and she started talking nonsense in her mind again.
"Sister, bear with it!"
Lin Chenglie couldn't help but reminded her quietly, hoping that she could be more restrained.
"oh!"
Lin Yuxin changed her legs and stood on them, looking completely listless!
Just like this, another quarter of an hour passed. When Lin Yuxin had no idea how many times she had complained about the emperor, she finally saw the emperor coming back!
[Wuwuwu! Your Majesty, I have waited so long for you! You are finally here. If you hadn’t come, I would have died! This reward is life-threatening! ]
놙Seeing Lin Yuxin looking at the emperor who was walking towards the imperial study step by step with surprise, she looked as enthusiastic as if she was looking at her reborn parents!
However, following behind him were Li Xiaochen and five high-ranking officials in official uniforms.
Generally speaking, those who were summoned to the Imperial Study by the Emperor held high official positions and were loyal ministers of the Xia Kingdom.
"Your Highness."
"See the Emperor!"
Seeing this, Lin Chenglie hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Seeing the emperor approaching, Lin Yuxin also hurriedly saluted stiffly. Don't blame her, she had been waiting for so long that her legs were already stiff, it was good enough that she could still salute!
"Hmph! Get up! Follow me in!"
Emperor Cheng Dexun glanced at Lin Yuxin and snorted coldly, "Don't think I didn't hear you, a stinky girl, cursing me in your heart!"
Then he turned and walked towards the imperial study.
Li Xiaochen followed the emperor and glanced at Lin Yuxin, who lowered her head and pretended to be respectful. A smile flashed in her eyes. This girl was pretending quite well.
Then he followed the emperor in.
Lin Yuxin heard the emperor's hum, raised her head in confusion and looked at the emperor's back.
[The Emperor was angry just now?! She didn’t make the Emperor unhappy! Or did she encounter some difficulties during the morning court session? Or was it her uncle who came?]
Lin Yuxin pouted, but didn't think much about it. She stood up obediently and followed the ministers into the room.
The emperor was speechless for a while as he listened to the maid's complaints behind him. How could I have such an uncle?
Lin Yuxin stood obediently aside with her elder brother, waiting for the emperor to speak.
As a result, it was not known whether the emperor did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Lin Yuxin stood aside for a long time without calling her.
"News from the north says there has been no rain for a month. What do you think of this?"
The emperor sat in front of his desk and asked the five ministers standing opposite him in a deep voice.
These five were the emperor's favorites, including Prime Minister Hou Mingyuan, Grand Tutor Ji Qiulin, and three ministers, Minister of Works Shi Peng, Minister of Revenue Geng Zhiwei, and Minister of Personnel Qi Wenxian.
Only three of the six ministers have come. I wonder what the emperor wants to discuss with them? Is it bad for her to stay here?
"Your Majesty, how about we wait a little longer? Since there has been no rain this month, maybe the problem is not that serious!"
Prime Minister Hou Mingyuan bowed and spoke first to comfort the emperor.
"Not serious? It's not serious now, but if there is no rain for two or three months, how will the crops in the fields survive, and how will the people survive?"
Grand Tutor Ji Qiulin frowned and looked at Hou Mingyuan and questioned.
It hasn't rained for a month, isn't it serious?
"Let me see. Should we send someone to find out more about the situation before making a decision?"
The Minister of Revenue Geng Zhiwei made a tactful suggestion.
"This is a good idea. After all, there has been no rain for a month, so serious problems have not yet arisen. Let's first understand the situation and then make a decision."
The Minister of Works beside him also nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
Li Xiaochen did not say a word during the whole process and just remained invisible. The emperor got angry when he saw this group of ministers who were doing nothing. He did not give any opinions and even said some nonsense.
[North? Could it be Jebuk City? If it is Jebuk City, there is no need to investigate. This drought is inevitable. There will be continuous half-day rain, resulting in no harvest in the fields and disaster victims everywhere.]
[It was this natural disaster that damaged the foundation of Xia State. In addition, the country was still at war with Qi State at that time, which directly led to insufficient reserves and the loss of several cities. Later, Li Xiaochen dragged his broken body to the battlefield and won the battle, but the lost cities were not recovered. ]
[But now Qi has not gone to war with our Xia, which is already good. But if we don't stop the drought now, in a month, the people will have no food to eat, and the problem will be even bigger.]
[땤Moreover...the Crown Prince and the Third Prince will take advantage of this natural disaster and profit from it, making the people's lives even harder and causing more deaths! 】
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin quietly raised her head and glanced at the emperor who was sitting there solemnly. She wondered if the emperor would be so angry that he would die if he knew!
The emperor heard Lin Yuxin's thoughts, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, his expression became serious, and his fists clenched.
Prince, the Third Brother! Well done! You are truly my good son!
He asked Lin Yuxin to come over for this reason. Ever since he heard what this girl was thinking last time, he realized that this girl had the ability to predict the future, or in other words, she knew what would happen in the future.
He also sent people to investigate the child that Lin Yuxin brought back, and it turned out to be his and the queen's child, who was replaced by Concubine Xiao Guifei as a dead fetus.
However, he is not in a hurry to recognize her now, because the noble concubine will be back soon. It is too dangerous to recognize her now. It is safer for him to stay with Miss Lin than in the palace.
