"Since Father-in-law has come, shouldn't you just lead him inside? Do you still need to report to me?"
"You have no sense of right or wrong!"
After he finished speaking, he took two steps forward with a big smile on his face, took out a few silver notes from his pocket, and then slapped them into the hand of Eunuch Gao with a smile!
"Father-in-law, I'm so sorry!"
"I was angered by those rumors that brat spread, definitely not because of the King!"
"After all, I am utterly loyal to the King, as you have seen!"
Eunuch Gao subtly squeezed the silver notes in his hand, roughly estimating that there were about four or five of them!
I'm very satisfied inside, but I don't show it on my face!
That fake smile was still on his face!
"You're too kind, Your Highness!"
I know you're not that kind of person!
"So you were angered by that little girl? Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you when I get back to the palace!"
"Just say a few words of appeasement to the princess, and she'll be happy. If the princess is happy, the queen will be happy, and if the queen is happy, the king will be happy too!"
"As you know, the Queen dotes on her only daughter, and it's naturally heartbreaking to see her crying every day while heavily pregnant!"
"So, whatever grievances you may have, Prince Consort, please put them aside for now!"
Lin Dayong smiled broadly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Father-in-law!"
"As expected of the eunuch, he is the most favored person in the King's eyes!"
"You have a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of issues than I do."
The praise made the smile on Grandpa Gao's face even more genuine!
"Alright! This time, the King sent me here! It's for the welcome banquet tonight!"
"His Majesty said that no matter what, that little girl surnamed Lin must be brought into the palace to participate in this welcoming banquet!"
"If you do well, the King will also give the princess more encouragement!"
Lin Dayong was at the entrance of the post station when that little girl surnamed Lin ignored his presence and led people inside. Now, it might be difficult to get her out again!
After all, his own king's attitude was tantamount to a summons!
With that little girl's arrogant attitude, it might be a bit difficult!
However, we are in Kyoto now. If this little girl is smart enough, she might obediently go with him to the welcome banquet!
Thinking about this!
He knelt to receive the imperial decree!
He considered many possibilities along the way!
We've also come up with many ways to deal with this!
But to his surprise, he didn't even get to see the little girl's face this time!
His face was extremely grim. "This welcoming banquet tonight is very important. It is a banquet personally prepared by my king to welcome Miss Lin!"
"We've been preparing for this welcome banquet for a long time."
"I was just about to discuss matters related to the Book of Obedient Citizens at the welcoming banquet."
"So please go and inform them again."
Wu Juan picked at her ear impatiently!
"Are you out of your mind? Didn't I already tell you? Her Majesty the Empress has already retired for the night!"
"Are you old and hard of hearing, so you can't hear?"
"You get up, do you know what that means? It means you're going to sleep. Do you know what sleeping means?"
"It's something everyone has to do every night."
"If we don't do this, we might die."
"Unlike you, well, you might not need to do it."
"after all……"
"Forget it, you can't even understand human language... I'd better not waste my breath arguing with you."
After she finished speaking, before Lin Dayong could react, she slammed the door of the inn shut!
Because Lin Dayong was standing very close to the gate of the post station, the sudden closing of the gate almost pinched his nose between them!
He seemed to have a sudden, unexpected reaction, and took a step back!
Then he quickly walked to the door, intending to raise his hand to knock!
Then, that familiar voice came from inside again!
"You guys all keep a close eye on things at the door! Don't let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in."
"And some people are just getting too big for their britches, banging on the door nonstop."
"Anyone who knocks on the door is a dog."
“If you hear someone banging on the door like crazy, I’ll grab a dog-beating stick and go out and beat the dog away.”
"Since I don't want to be human anymore, no one's stopping me."
The two guards standing inside the door replied quietly and loudly, "Yes, sir! Whoever knocks is a dog! The dog-beating stick is for dogs!"
Upon hearing the two guards' reply, Wu Juan stood there and burst into laughter!
"Whoever knocks on the door is a dog, and the stick used to beat dogs is only for dogs!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Why does that sound so nice?"
"It always feels like it rhymes."
"I'd love to hear it! You can shout a few more times later."
The two guards blushed slightly at Wu Juan's laughter, but hearing that His Majesty's favorite was willing to listen to this, they shouted even louder!
"Whoever knocks on the door is a dog, and the stick used to beat dogs is for beating dogs."
"You big idiot dog that disturbs my peaceful sleep, kick the big idiot dog away with both feet."
Lin Dayong heard the conversation inside and his veins bulged with anger!
I raised my hand, ready to knock, but for a moment I didn't know whether to lower it or not!
He thought about the king in the palace, and about his recent experiences, and then all he could hear was that one sentence: Whoever knocks on the door is a dog!
He felt that his dignity had been insulted!
In the end, he stormed off in anger!
Whoever wants to do this job can do it; he's not coming back!
Just as he mounted his horse, a guard beside him cautiously reminded him, "General! If we leave like this, won't it be difficult to explain to His Majesty?"
"Why don't I go and knock on this door?"
Hearing the increasingly outrageous words inside, Lin Dayong finally snapped, "What are you banging on?"
"We kindly wanted to welcome them and give them a proper welcome, but these people were so ungrateful that they turned us away and even called us dogs."
"We now represent the King!"
"We cannot be humiliated like this!"
"I will go to the palace and inform His Majesty that he can make a decision later!"
After saying that, he spurred his horse and headed towards the palace gate!
As soon as he entered the palace, he sensed that something was off. Although the palace was brightly lit as usual, there was no indication that a welcoming banquet was about to be held!
The further he went in, the more uneasy he became!
Normally, if a welcoming banquet were to be held, not only the King but also all the trusted ministers would attend. However, now that the banquet is approaching, not a single minister has come to make preparations in advance!
Could something have happened inside?
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace even further.
But as soon as he reached the door of the Imperial Study, he was stopped by Eunuch Gao at the door!
