The old lady became nervous, "What did you hear?"
"I never told you." Baili Mei clutched her handkerchief tightly, filled with sorrow. "One night, I passed by Qiaoqiao's room and heard her complain..."
"What is she complaining about in her heart again?" The old lady knew that the situation was not good when she saw the expression of her second daughter-in-law.
"She said the world we live in is a world of books."
Xi Yanlan was also dumbfounded. "A world of a book?"
"That's right. And this book revolves around Xiao Lin. If...if Xiao Lin has no hope of restoring his country and chooses to be reborn, then that means we will lose Qiaoqiao?"
"If he is reborn, my Qiaoqiao will die?"
"I heard Qiaoqiao say that she might no longer be the Qiaoqiao of this world."
The old lady stood there in a daze, her dilated pupils instantly filled with despair.
No wonder I worried about the safety of my family since Qiaoqiao was born.
"Mother-in-law, Qiaoqiao must be under tremendous pressure for our family."
"Yes." The old lady hesitated, "Could it be that the purpose of choosing a queen is to attract Xiao Lin to enter the palace?"
Xi Yanlan and Baili Mei also became anxious.
Later, when they returned home, they specifically mentioned Xiao Lin to their children.
He repeatedly instructed that Xiao Lin should be driven away quietly and that he should not show any signs of suicide.
After hearing that, the children looked at each other and discovered the great secret of their elders.
Like them, I can hear my aunt’s thoughts, and like them, I am trying to find ways to help her.
…
Xiao Lin has been spending money and making preparations since he participated in the election.
Although they were all men, the way to choose a queen was the same as the etiquette for women to be selected into the harem.
Especially the physical examination part.
Xiao Lin felt ashamed.
However, the people who conducted the inspection were not the adults in the general's mansion, but just a few old maids.
The old nanny was bribed by Xiao Lin's men, and let Xiao Lin pass without even looking at him.
For this, three days passed.
Xiao Lin was also among those who passed the level.
Finally, three were left and were sent before the Queen for her to decide.
Jing Qiaoqiao sat on the chair. After looking at the list sent by her nephew Qiao, she turned her back with a serious expression.
She thought that if she casually let Xiao Lin become the queen, Xiao Lin would definitely find out.
So, she had to come up with an excuse that would convince everyone.
"My queen must be extremely talented, so I want to test you three."
The three handsome men kneeling in front of her, elegant and gentle, asked her to ask questions.
Jing Qiaoqiao pinched her throat with one hand and said directly, "The moon is shining brightly in front of my bed..."
Xiao Lin had memorized this ancient poem for several lifetimes. It was the simplest and most catchy.
So as soon as Jing Qiaoqiao asked the question, he recited the next sentence.
"I suspect it's frost on the ground."
"Two orioles sing in the green willows..."
"A line of egrets soars into the blue sky."
"The little lotus has just begun to show its tip..."
"A dragonfly has already landed on it."
[Luckily, he has a wife who traveled through time. Otherwise, how could I have given him an excuse to be chosen directly by me?]
Jing Qiaoqiao raised her chubby hand and pointed at Xiao Lin, "He's the one chosen. The other two are also good. I will make them imperial concubines."
Lu Xiaojia stood by and did as the Queen instructed.
The fifth nephew who was hiding outside the hall was both surprised and happy.
What was surprising was that Xiao Lin was reborn several times and had a wife from another world.
What’s funny is that my aunt has a lot of clever ideas.
"Commander Jing, what's wrong with you?"
Jing Shenghua puffed out his chest and asked knowingly, "Who do you think is more likely to become the queen among the three people who just went in?"
"They are all handsome, but I don't know what the Queen's taste is."
"What do you mean? Does my aunt have a weird taste?" Jing Shenghua glared at his confidant depressedly, with an expression that said, "How dare you."
The confidant quickly begged for mercy: "Commander Jing, please forgive me. I just think that the Queen is a deity from heaven. Her aesthetic taste should be different from that of us mortals."
"Okay, I didn't say anything. Why are you so scared?" Jing Shenghua crossed his arms and laughed again.
Since the day Xiao Lin became the queen, Jing Qiaoqiao would have people deliver things to her every day.
The subordinates around him were happy for him to see that their lord was so popular.
"My Lord, it seems the Queen really likes men like you. Otherwise, why don't you just stop trying to restore the kingdom and become the master of the harem?"
"Nonsense! This is Mingyao Country, not Songlin. There's no reason for a man to be the Queen. I will never give up on my plan to restore my country."
Xiao Lin slammed his palm on the table, his eyes filled with coldness.
He took a deep breath and asked his men, "By the way, how are the arrangements I asked you to make going?"
"According to the Lord's wishes, we have already sent people to deliver cakes to the Queen."
"Very good. I still don't believe that the monster is really not poisonous enough to kill it."
"But my lord, it would be better for you to make the pastries yourself. If the queen finds out, she will definitely be angry." The subordinate beside him reminded cautiously.
Xiao Lin agreed with this point, "You are right. My cooking skills are not up to par, which will definitely affect my plan to restore my country."
To this end, Xiao Lin went to the kitchen and made several pastries.
He was just happy but not happy, and made a few mistakes. The person who was always crazy and critical sat on the ground and cried.
The fifth nephew found out from the kitchen boy and quickly ran to Jing Qiaoqiao to tell her about it.
"Aunt, didn't you see how miserable Xiao Lin was? His face and hands were covered in soot. It seems he really put his heart into it."
