Hou Mingyuan: Since the emperor has asked this girl to go, if she fails in the end, she will suffer even if Li Xiaochen protects her.
Ji Qiulin: With the Regent accompanying us, there shouldn't be any major chaos.
The other three: With the Regent here, they dare not raise any opinions even if they have any!
"Since no one has any objection, Li Xiaochen, Lin Yuxin, why don't you two hurry up and accept the order?"
The emperor looked directly at the two ignorant people, signaling them to be more self-aware.
"I obey your order!"
Li Xiaochen stepped forward, bowed respectfully and accepted the order.
"Your Highness obeys my command!"
Lin Yuxin accepted the imperial edict reluctantly and performed the ceremony reluctantly.
[These ministers are so stupid. They can't even handle such a small matter. It seems they have a lot of small ideas! ]
"But Your Majesty! I have a request!"
Lin Yuxin thought about it and spoke hesitantly.
"You say!"
The emperor asked with amusement, this girl's calculations are all shown on her face.
"Your Majesty, I am a woman and I have been given a mission in a time of crisis. I am sure many people will be dissatisfied. If some people disobey my orders or interfere, and the disaster cannot be controlled, you cannot blame me. However, I will do my best."
Lin Yuxin spoke with the look of a weak girl who allowed herself to be bullied.
The emperor glared at her. This girl was pretending very well. It would be strange if she was the kind of person who would be bullied. But she was right. At this time, it is better not to let those unscrupulous people come out and interfere!
The emperor thought for a moment and said:
"I know what you mean. I will give you the Imperial Sword, which can kill both the tyrant and the corrupt officials. If anyone jumps in front of you, just chop him off."
Lin Yuxin was waiting for these words and immediately became happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"
[Hehe, the emperor is indeed wise. Now that blind man dares to jump in front of her, he will be chopped off.]
Several ministers also had mixed feelings, but their minds were now cleared. The newly-appointed Pingning Commandery might become a new favorite of the emperor in the future, so they could not be easily offended for the time being.
"Alright, that's it! Everyone, get out of here!"
The emperor saw that the discussion was almost complete, so he began to hurry up.
"I'll take my leave!"
"I'll take my leave!"
Several ministers took their leave and left.
Seeing that the matter was over and they were finally leaving, Lin Yuxin and Lin Chenglie were preparing to say goodbye, but Lin Yuxin paused while bowing.
[Wait, isn't she here to receive a prize? Where is the prize? ]
"Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to come here to receive the reward?"
Lin Yuxin raised her head and asked cautiously.
"Yes! Didn't you just accept the award yourself?"
The emperor said seriously.
"ah?"
Now it was Lin Yuxin's turn to be dumbfounded. Her gold and silver jewelry were gone just like that?
[Wuwuwu! My gold and silver jewelry are gone, and I have to do such a hard job. Wuwuwu, why is my life so miserable! ]
Lin Yuxin was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She felt that she was being tricked by the emperor, but she had no evidence.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with my reward?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Yuxin who was about to cry and asked.
Little guy, you finally know how to suppress this naughty girl. Let you curse me in private!
“Satisfied, very satisfied!”
Lin Yuxin quickly showed a very ugly smile.
"Okay, all of you, back off!"
The emperor finally felt relieved and waved his hand to let the three of them leave.
"I'll take my leave."
"I'll take my leave."
Li Xiaochen and Lin Yuxin, brother and sister, bowed and left.
Lin Yuxin stood at the door of the imperial study, her eyes were bleeding. She planned to go back and have a big meal to relieve her depression.
"Sister, why don't you go back first? Brother still has to go to the Ministry of War."
Lin Chenglie was going to the Ministry of War to receive his new appointment letter. He had made great contributions in suppressing bandits last time, and the emperor promoted him. He was now the head of the army, but the emperor had not issued an official decree to make it public.
"Okay, big brother, you go ahead! I can go back by myself."
Lin Yuxin waved her hands nonchalantly. She really didn't remember the way, so she could ask the eunuch.
"I will take you to Pingning County, and discuss the drought in the north."
Li Xiaochen suddenly spoke from the side.
Lin Yuxin couldn't say no when she heard what he said. After all, they were here for this serious matter, so they shouldn't have any other thoughts, right?
Lin Yuxin was very nervous, but there was nothing she could do. She suddenly found that she couldn't remain calm when facing Li Xiaochen alone.
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty! Sister, don't talk nonsense, understand? Big brother is leaving first."
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
When Lin Chenglie heard that Li Xiaochen wanted to send his sister off, he thought it was a good idea and hurriedly thanked the prince. Before leaving, he specifically reminded his sister not to talk nonsense.
Lin Yuxin looked at her brother's back and pouted. No matter how he told her not to talk nonsense, what did she say? !
At this time, Eunuch Liu beside the emperor came over holding a long box.
"Congratulations, Commander Pingning. This is the Imperial Sword bestowed by the Emperor. Please keep it well. The imperial edict conferring the title of Commander will be delivered to your residence soon. I hope you will take it seriously."
Eunuch Liu said respectfully with a smile on his face.
Ever since the state banquet, Eunuch Liu knew that Lin Yuxin would become a favorite of the Emperor. And indeed it happened. Only a few days later, she was canonized as a county magistrate and was entrusted with such an important task.
This shows how much the emperor trusts her. How could he not be more respectful?
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu. This is a small gift from the county. Please accept it."
Lin Yuxin took the imperial sword, then took out a lotus root filled with silver from her bosom, quietly put it into Eunuch Liu's hand, and whispered.
Eunuch Liu touched the lotus in his hand, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
This Pingning County is good at making it. This cart is full of food, so there should be quite a lot.
"You are too polite, I will take my leave now."
"Eunuch Liu, take care."
Lin Yuxin watched Eunuch Liu enter the imperial study before she looked away.
[Alas! This time she went to the palace, she suffered a huge loss. She got nothing and gave away a large amount of silver. She found that she and the palace were not compatible. Last time she encountered an assassination attempt, and this time she lost all her money.]
[What! Don’t you still have the Imperial Sword? Tsk! This Imperial Sword cannot be sold or eaten. It can only be placed at home as a decoration. At most, it can be taken out to shock the bad guys. There is nothing else. It is not as practical as gold.]
Lin Yuxin's expression was calm, but she had already started to complain in her heart.
Li Xiaochen just watched her complaining quietly and thought she was quite cute.
"Jun 덿, let's go! I'll take you there."
Li Xiaochen spoke in a calm voice.
"Ah? Oh! Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Yuxin came to her senses suddenly when she heard someone calling her. She looked at Li Xiaochen and thanked the prince awkwardly.
After that, the two of them remained silent all the way, and Lin Yuxin awkwardly followed Li Xiaochen all the way to the palace gate.
When Lin Yuxin saw Li Xiaochen standing beside the carriage without moving, she immediately said in a flattering manner:
"Your Majesty, please get in the car first!"
Li Xiaochen looked at her flattering look and was speechless for a while. Where did this girl get her virtue?
However, Li Xiaochen still got on the carriage first.
Lin Yuxin was about to get on the carriage when she heard a shout from behind.
"Pyongning County 덿, Pingning County 덿!"
