Chapter 2051 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (40 chapters)
Shen Linyuan stood up, intending to take a step forward and step onto Sijin's boat.
But he knelt for half the banquet today, and his knees were scraped and bleeding.
Then she became arrogant again and didn't want to move at all.
After a moment's thought, he rowed the boat slowly forward, hooked the bell on Si Jin's ankle, and suddenly lifted her up.
As she lifted him up, she got up, wrapped her arms around the emperor's waist, stood under the moon, and gave him a deep kiss.
As he collapsed, he was still muttering, "In my drunken stupor, I knew not the sky reflected in the water."
This poem clearly doesn't fit the current mood and is way off track.
But Si Jin still tilted her head and replied to him affectionately, "A boat full of sweet dreams presses down on the Milky Way."
… …
Rippling water carried faint cries, frightening the little fish so much that they dared not approach.
The environment was dark, and the passing palace maid was startled. She dropped the lantern she was holding and ran away with her head down!
The next day, just as Si Jin was feeling a little better, she heard a commotion coming from the palace—
There's a water ghost in the pavilion in the middle of the lake! It cries! It eats people!!!
The rumors intensified, and to avoid being bothered by the superstitious Imperial Astronomical Bureau officials, Si Jin invited Shen Linyuan over again that night.
Then they released the news that the water ghost would appear tonight.
Despite the fear, the palace was never short of bold people.
The eunuchs and palace maids quickly formed an alliance on their own.
Clutching black dog blood, large garlic cloves, and various other ghost-catching tools, they stood guard by the pavilion in the middle of the lake, determined to see what a water ghost looked like.
So they waited and waited until midnight, when a cold wind blew up and finally they saw a snow-white figure appear in the water.
The palace servants tensed up, their hearts pounding in their throats.
"Oh my god! He was holding something red in his hand, that's terrifying."
"I've heard that water ghosts have very long tongues and protruding eyeballs, and I'm scared."
Some of the more timid palace maids closed their eyes, made barely audible noises, and clung tightly to the sleeves of their companions.
His companion unconsciously swallowed and gripped the garlic in his hand tightly.
Just as I was about to throw it out, I noticed that the water ghost had come ashore. It was quite tall and even had a face.
Moreover, this face seems somewhat familiar.
Where did you see it?
The palace servants all stopped what they were doing, their eyes fixed on the sharp, handsome face of the white-clad water ghost.
After a moment of stunned silence, someone called out first, "Your Highness!"
The people around him then realized what was happening and immediately rushed out to pay their respects: "Greetings, Regent!"
After glancing around, Shen Linyuan finally realized that he had been tricked.
He said, "It's just a torn gauze dress, covered in both of their clothes..."
If it's lost, it's lost. Why should Jinjin insist on making him go find it?
So, they hired so many people to ambush him?
What are you planning to do?
Just as he was wondering, a young eunuch jumped out and asked timidly, "Your Highness, what...what are you holding in your hand? Is it the clothes of the water ghost in this lake?"
oh.
Shen Linyuan finally understood.
The young emperor tricked him into coming here to quell the rumors about the water ghost.
So he glanced at the clothes in his hand and said rather casually, "This isn't a water ghost, it's a fox demon, a male fox demon."
"Your beauty surpasses all the beauties in the world. I have just returned from that place, so you will probably never have the chance to see her."
"Take a look." With that, Shen Linyuan raised the clothes in his hand, making up a lie with a straight face: "These clothes belong to him. As long as I burn them, the fox demon will belong to me completely and will never be able to escape for the rest of his life."
"If there's nothing else, let's call it a day."
"yes."
The rumors about the water ghost were disproven on their own, and Shen Linyuan burned his clothes on time and returned to Si Jin's bedchamber.
For some reason, the style of this garment spread beyond the palace, and many sets were made, both men's and women's, which sold like hotcakes.
The collective promotional slogan of clothing store owners is—
Buy a red robe and experience the joys of being a regent!
