In the imperial study, the emperor knew that Lin Xi had arrived and immediately asked someone to call him in.
"General Lin, the emperor is calling you in."
Li Guisheng smiled, and the skin and flesh on his old face were squeezed together.
Lin Xi nodded and followed Li Guisheng in. He saw the emperor holding a brush and writing something.
He walked to the desk, stood still, and bowed.
"Your Highness, I, Lin Xi, pay my respects to His Majesty."
This is a special reward given by the emperor to Lin Xi. He does not need to kneel when meeting him. Now only he and the queen have this treatment.
When Rong Jingshuo heard the voice, he quickly put down the brush in his hand, walked down and helped Lin Xi up.
"Didn't I tell you not to be polite when no one is around? Why are you being so polite to me?"
Me? Lin Xi was startled, but after recalling the plot, he felt relieved. This was what Rong Jingshuo seemed to call her when they were alone.
The two men are two years apart in age and have played together since childhood. When Lin Xi grew up and became a general, he assisted Rong Jingshuo even more attentively and without any ulterior motives, so the relationship between the two can remain the same as before.
Lin Xi straightened up, and as usual, he smiled brightly at Rong Jingshuo and patted his shoulder.
"Tell me what you want from me. Why are you so anxious?"
As he said this, he found a place and sat down, then calmly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Rong Jingshuo saw him frowning and spitting out tea leaves, shook his head and laughed, then sat down next to him, "You, this is my best tea, but you ruined it."
"It's bitter, not tasty at all."
Lin Xi waved his hand and poured a glass for Rong Jingshuo as well. He watched him drink it with gusto and click his tongue twice, as if he didn't understand why someone would like to drink this kind of thing.
Rong Jingshuo didn't want to share the tea ceremony with such a reckless man, so he said directly: "In three days, the princess of Chaoge Kingdom will be here. I want you to marry her. What do you think?"
Although the Kingdom of Chaoge came under the banner of paying tribute, it also brought a princess with it, and its intentions were obvious. It was said that the princess was very beautiful and could be given to Lin Xi as a reward, which would also save the face of both countries.
"puff".
Lin Xi spit out a mouthful of tea, frowned, and waved his hands repeatedly, "I won't marry you, if I want to marry you, you can."
In fact, he was almost shouting at the top of his lungs, roaring: I will marry, I will marry, force me to marry Su Jinge quickly.
But his face looked as if he was trying to avoid it.
Li Guisheng was watching with fear from the side. He walked forward to wipe the floor while sighing that only General Lin could be so bold in front of the emperor.
Rong Jingshuo knew that this would be Lin Xi's reaction. The child born by the queen is now seven or eight years old, but Lin Xi can't even see the shadow of a woman. How can this be possible?
Lin Xi was afraid that Rong Jingshuo would be angry, so she specifically yelled, "What good can a woman have? She's so weak and delicate, and she cries all the time. I can't stand it."
"Hey, look what you said."
Sure enough, Rong Jingshuo began his earnest advice.
"It would be wonderful to have someone take care of you, love you, and remember you. You say that because you haven't experienced it."
"Oh, it seems that the emperor has experienced a lot."
A clear female voice sounded at the door, and the jealousy in her voice could not be concealed.
They both raised their eyes and looked towards the door. The woman was wearing a gorgeous robe that shone with gold and silver and was embroidered with exquisite patterns. Her hair was adorned with a golden headdress and her hands were wearing rings inlaid with gems.
Her face is beautiful and dignified, her skin is as white as mutton fat, and under her willow-shaped eyebrows are a pair of bright and deep eyes, which reveal majesty and kindness.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised with a gentle smile. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
