Chapter 38 Kissing in front of me? It's an eyesore to me
“…”
Shen Yuanwei swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Who can withstand such a big hat?
She and Xiao Lingzhao knelt down at the same time to apologize.
"I dare not do that. Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Your Majesty, calm down. My wife is just a little timid. She was born in the countryside and has never seen the world. She is afraid that if she lives in the palace, she will make mistakes and offend the nobles. She is afraid that she will be criticized by others and will not be able to explain herself in the future. She dare not be dissatisfied with Your Majesty."
Xie Junlin looked down at the two of them.
He didn't want to scare people like this.
However, Miss Yuan Wei refused to stay in the palace no matter what, so he had to scare her a little bit.
He bent down and stretched out his hand to help Xiao Lingzhao up, and called Shen Yuanwei, "Mrs. Xiao, please get up."
He teased Shen Yuanwei, "I can see that Madam Xiao is really timid and can't stand being scared at all."
Shen Yuanwei stood up while lowering her head and cursing in her heart -
I can't help being scared. Who has nine lives to withstand being scared by an emperor like you every day?
You are the emperor and you think you are great. You force people to do things against their will and are aggressive. You even want people to kneel down to you. And you still want to covet me. Bah, you are old and not gentle. You are really not comparable to our Xiao Lingzhao in any way!
Shen Yuanwei was so annoyed that she completely lost the desire to talk to the emperor again. She lowered her head and pretended to be timid, then moved to hide behind Xiao Lingzhao.
Humph, it would be better if the emperor thought that she was not worthy of being in the spotlight and had no interest in her anymore!
Unfortunately, the emperor did not think so.
Emperor Xie Junlin looked at Shen Yuanwei with a half-smile.
When she was confronting him just now, she was not timid at all. It was obvious that she was annoyed with him and didn't want to pay attention to him, so she pretended to be timid and scared, hiding behind Ling Zhao and refusing to talk to him, right?
Tsk.
She's a little girl, but she has a bad temper.
Didn't I just scare her and make her kneel down? Now you don't want to talk to me anymore?
Xie Junlin hid his smile deep in his heart.
That's all.
Just don’t scare her or make her kneel in the future.
Xie Junlin didn't stare at Shen Yuanwei for too long. He said to Xiao Lingzhao, "From now on, Lingzhao, you will stay with me. As for Madam Xiao, I will have someone take her to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. Is that okay?"
Xiao Lingzhao was reaching his hand behind him and quietly holding Shen Yuanwei's hand, kneading Shen Yuanwei's fingers to comfort his wronged little wife.
When Xiao Lingzhao heard Xie Junlin's words, his eyes flashed slightly.
The power in his body needs Yuan Wei to accompany him all the time to be soothed. If Yuan Wei leaves, he will relapse again in less than half an hour.
Therefore, he couldn't let Yuan Wei leave him and go to the Queen Mother's palace.
He raised his eyes to look at Xie Junlin, and said with a stiff face, "Your Majesty, can I... take Yuan Wei with me to guard outside your palace?"
Xie Junlin was a little surprised.
His general had always been very sensible and had never made such an outrageous request to him.
Which official would tie his wife to his belt before going to court?
Which guard would stand guard outside his door with his wife by his side?
Even if he was the emperor, he didn't ask his concubines to serve him when he handled official business, right?
Xie Junlin was silent for a moment.
Are two people who love each other so different?
Can't leave for a while?
But he had never felt such love before.
Xie Junlin exhaled slowly, and asked Xiao Lingzhao with complicated eyes, "I am here conscientiously handling state affairs. Do you think it's okay for you to have a love affair with your wife outside?"
Xiao Lingzhao also knew that his request was a bit outrageous.
But he really can't live without Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei is the medicine that keeps him awake.
Shen Yuanwei was annoyed with the emperor. She had originally been hiding behind Xiao Lingzhao and not intending to talk to the emperor. But now, she couldn't help but stick her head out and slowly spoke -
"Your Majesty, I am an ignorant country bumpkin. I cannot live without Ling Zhao. If you want Ling Zhao to stay here to protect you, then I have to stay here with him. If you think this is inappropriate, then...then please let Ling Zhao go home with me, okay?"
“…”
Xie Junlin looked at the young couple who had a very good relationship.
If someone else acted so presumptuously in front of him, he would definitely not give them face.
But these two people, one is his most loyal minister, and the other is the mother of the child he secretly covets. Does he really want to punish these two people?
He also didn't want to take the opportunity to arrest Xiao Lingzhao and then use Xiao Lingzhao's life to force Shen Yuanwei to sleep with him. He would not do such a dirty thing.
Although coveting someone else's wife is equally dirty, he doesn't want to make himself even dirtier and more despicable at the moment.
He kept the young couple in the palace just because he wanted to get closer to them.
He wanted to see if there was a way to have the best of both worlds, one that would not harm Ling Zhao or Miss Yuan Wei, and would also allow this emperor, who had no heirs, to have a child...
Xie Junlin rubbed his eyebrows. Since he had impure motives in keeping these two people, he had to tolerate and give in.
He looked at Shen Yuanwei and nodded, "Okay, then you can stay here with Ling Zhao."
As he walked towards the dragon table, he told the two, "You don't have to stand guard outside to protect me. You are holding hands with my wife outside. Is it okay for other guards to see you? Just find a corner in this hall and stay quiet. Don't get in my way."
Xiao Lingzhao looked at the emperor in surprise.
Their request was so unreasonable, but the emperor actually agreed to it?
It seems that the assassin is really powerful. The emperor would rather tolerate him and his wife staying in the hall in an indecent manner than let him leave.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Lingzhao bowed and thanked the emperor, then quickly took Shen Yuanwei's hand and went to the right corner.
Over there is a magnificent row of antique display shelves, and there is just a small corner between it and the dragon desk where the emperor reviews memorials.
The two of them squatted in this corner, so they would not appear in the emperor's sight and be an eyesore, but they could also rush out to protect him at the first moment when danger came.
The noble general and his wife were like two little mushrooms squatting in the corner.
Shen Yuanwei knew that the power in Xiao Lingzhao's body had not yet completely dormant, and she wanted to help Xiao Lingzhao suppress it better.
She leaned close to Xiao Lingzhao's ear and smiled softly, "The emperor can't see us anymore. Can I kiss you?"
But Xiao Lingzhao was stunned when he heard this.
His ears suddenly turned red.
Looking sideways at Shen Yuanwei's bright red lips, he swallowed his saliva, then shook his head with difficulty to refuse, "No, we are in the monarch's room, and the monarch is sitting a few feet away to handle state affairs. In such a solemn and dignified place, I can't... I can't do such a frivolous thing."
Shen Yuanwei leaned on his shoulder and smiled, "Well, you can't flirt with me, so what if I want to flirt with you?"
Shen Yuanwei touched his face, "Will you obey me obediently, or will you run out in a panic and expose my immorality to your monarch, huh?"
Not only did Xiao Lingzhao's ears turn red, they also felt so hot that they seemed to be burning.
“…”
Behind the dragon table, Xie Junlin clenched the red brush with his slender fingers. He slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the antique shelf with his pair of black eyes with complicated expression.
no……
Have these two people forgotten that he was also a martial arts master when he was young? He has sensitive ears and can vaguely hear the two people's whispers.
