Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 261

[Chapter 261: Go and Come Back]

The next morning, the sun shone in from the window and sprinkled on Lin Xiu’s chest.

He lay in the middle of the bed, one on the left and one on the right, each pillow was a soft and delicate body, Ning’er on the left and Wan’er on the right.

Last night, although they just slept in the same bed and nothing else happened, this feeling of being hugged by two people was the first time that Lin Xiu experienced it, and it was open and aboveboard, legal and reasonable.

He liked this world more and more.

After a while, Qin Wan and Xue Ning’er woke up slowly.

They opened their eyes and saw each other, and they were a little uncomfortable.

Xue Ning’er blushed and spoke first: “Although I didn’t like you before and you didn’t like me, but now we are a family, let’s make peace…”

Qin Wan said: “Okay, we will be sisters in the future, how can I care about my sister.”

Xue Ning’er was stunned for a moment and corrected her: “You figure it out, I am the elder sister.”

Qin Wan asked: “Are you older than me?”

Xue Ning’er said: “It’s not about age!”

Qin Wan sat up from the bed, straightened her chest, and said: “Not counting age, you are not older than me…”

Xue Ning’er was defeated twice and realized that she was not Qin Wan’s opponent. She could only shake Lin Xiu for help and said aggrievedly: “Look at her…”

Compared with Qin Wan’s verbal skills, Ning’er couldn’t win even with Lin Xiu.

He didn’t know how many times he was defeated by her mouth. The

only one who could defeat Qin Wan without using her mouth was A Ke.

A Ke, who was freed from the restraints, was invincible.

This was the morning after they entered the house. The two women had no time to quarrel. They had to go to serve tea to Zhao Lingjun.

Lin Xiu likes her more and more now. Even if other wives would not stop their husbands from taking concubines, they would still have to show their power or put on a bad face when serving tea the next day.

This kind of thing would never happen to her.

Her attitude towards Caiyi, Qin Wan and Ning’er is the same, neither intimate nor distant, just right, so that no one would feel embarrassed.

Praise Lingjun, the best in the world.

For some reason, Lin Xiu always felt that Princess Minghe and Lingyin looked at him strangely today. When Lin Xiu looked at them, they would immediately look away, as if they had done something wrong.

After serving tea, Lin Xiu took them to meet his parents. The

Lin Mansion is big enough now. Lin Xiu originally wanted them to move in, but they were unwilling to do so, saying that they did not want to disturb their married life. Lin Xiu did not know whether they did not want to disturb or did not want to be disturbed, so he could only let them do as they pleased.

Ping’an Marquis and his wife still don’t quite understand why they have two more daughters-in-law. When Lin Xiu was alone, Zhou Yun took Lin Xiu’s hand and asked, “Xiu’er, why does his majesty like to grant you a marriage so much?”

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “It’s like this. His majesty is a little, no, very lustful. He thinks that all men in the world are as lustful as he is. Didn’t I make a big splash in the competition this time? This is his reward to me…”

Zhou Yun said, “How can there be such a reward?”

Lin Xiu explained, “Mother, you don’t understand, this shows that I have good talent. With good talent, my bloodline is strong. His majesty may hope that I can marry a few more wives to pass on this excellent bloodline and give birth to more future generations for Daxia. …” Zhou Yun

was surprised and said, “Is there such a saying?” Lin Xiu nodded

and said, “This has been confirmed by people a long time ago, so, if His Majesty grants me another marriage in the future, don’t be too surprised…”

Zhou Yun asked, “Then why is the princess living in our house? You won’t…”

Lin Xiu hurriedly said, “This is not the case, this is not the case. The princess and I only have a pure friendship. She lives in our house to practice with me.”

Zhou Yun did not continue the topic of the princess and said to Lin Xiu, “You and Lingjun should keep what we said last time in mind. You have been married for almost a year, but there is no movement at all. This time, not only we are urging, but even His Majesty has started to urge…”

Lin Xiu did not expect that he would fall into the pit he dug.

After a long time, he left their residence exhausted.

He was even a little glad that they did not move in together, otherwise, he might encounter this kind of dilemma every day, and then, even Zhao Lingjun would not be spared.

Lin Xiu himself could imagine that embarrassing scene.

Now he can still delay it on the grounds that they are both young, but after a few years, it will not be so easy to delay it any longer.

Let’s talk about the future later, now it’s better to enjoy the happy life after marriage.

The next night, Lin Xiu went to Qin Wan’s room and completed the ceremony that was not completed yesterday with her. For fairness, the two went to Ning’er’s room and slept together until dawn.

On the third day, Lin Xiu stayed in Caiyi’s room, played a few songs with Caiyi on the piano and flute, and then fell asleep in each other’s arms.

The past few days have been the life he has always dreamed of.

In the morning, he cooked with Wan’er, and then experienced the two worlds of ice and fire with Princess Lingyin Minghe on a daily basis. In the afternoon, he practiced martial arts with Ning’er, and in the evening, he took the three girls to the garden to enjoy the moon. When the time came, he went to their rooms to rest in order.

Because the house was too big, he didn’t feel bored staying at home. If he was not summoned by the palace, he could stay at home for a month.

After breakfast in the morning, Zhu Jin summoned him to the palace. On the way, Lin Xiu asked, “What’s the matter with your majesty summoning me?”

Zhu Jin said, “It’s nothing big. It’s just that with your ability, you are still just a small official in the Qingli Division. It’s a bit of a waste of talent. His Majesty wants to give you a new official position. You should think about it first and you can talk to His Majesty later.”

When Lin Xiu was brought into the imperial study by Zhu Jin, he found that there were many people in the hall, including the crown prince and the King of Qi.

Emperor Xia only held a morning court every five days. If there was anything important, he would discuss it with his ministers in the imperial study.

Lin Xiu did not go over, but waited at the door of the imperial study.

Soon, Lin Xiu found that he came at the wrong time, because at this moment, the topic of discussion among the people was him.

An official behind the prince came out and bowed, saying, “Your Majesty, in the past year, the title of Ping’an Marquis has been promoted four times, from the third-class earl to the second-class marquis, which is unprecedented. You are too kind to the Lin family…”

Someone behind the King of Qi also came out and said, “Not only that, your majesty also rewarded him with a royal garden. Even when he took a concubine, he personally issued an order to grant the marriage and asked the Ministry of Rites to undertake it. Even if he has some talent, you are too kind to him…”

Several officials stood up one after another, all of whom accused Emperor Xia of being too kind to Lin Xiu.

It is not a good thing for a monarch to favor a minister too much.

As ministers, they need to remind His Majesty that the emperor should treat everyone equally, and favoring one person is a taboo for the monarch.

The prince’s party and the King of Qi party, who usually fight to the death in the court, unexpectedly have a rare unified position on this matter, pointing the finger at Lin Xiu, who has been in the limelight in the capital in recent days.

This marriage with Fusang Tianjiao offended the two largest parties in the court.

However, before they could discuss the result, a figure hurried into the imperial study and said loudly: “Your Majesty, it’s not good. Last night, another genius from South Vietnam who was recruited by us was assassinated in the inn. The South Vietnamese envoys were furious and must give them an explanation from the court…”

“What?” Emperor Xia stood up suddenly and said with a gloomy face: “First it was the Western Regions, then the Northern Mang, and then South Vietnam. Three people were assassinated in three days

. Has the murderer been found?” The official shook his head and said: “When he was found, he had been dead for a long time.”

There was a burst of discussion in the imperial study.

At this time, no one discussed Lin Xiu anymore, because the matter at hand was more important.

In the past few days, young geniuses from other countries have been assassinated repeatedly in Daxia. If it was just one incident, it would be nothing and could be regarded as a coincidence, but within three days, three incidents occurred in succession, involving the three countries of Xiyu, Beimang, and Nanyue. These geniuses had been recruited by Daxia and rejected them…

During the competition, the Daxia court was also paying attention to the geniuses from other countries. If they were young and performed well, they would try to recruit them and cultivate them as seeds in order to gain glory for Daxia in the future. Among

them, some people would agree, and some would refuse.

Now, those geniuses who refused Daxia’s recruitment have died in Daxia’s capital one after another. Whether it is these three countries or other countries, the first suspicion is that Daxia’s court failed to recruit them and chose to directly eliminate them.

This suspicion is reasonable and unreasonable.

What is reasonable is Daxia’s motive for killing. What is unreasonable is that unless Daxia’s court is crazy, it will assassinate geniuses from other countries in its own capital. Isn’t this deliberately leaving a handle for others?

Someone must be using this to frame Daxia’s court.

Everyone knew who was putting the blame on others.

But they had no evidence. In any case, the man was assassinated in Daxia, and the Daxia court had the responsibility to track down the murderer. If the

murderer could not be found, Daxia would have to bear the blame.

But this blame was not easy to bear. If this matter was not handled properly, it would not only affect Daxia’s reputation among the countries on the mainland, but also affect the relationship between Daxia and the three countries. The Western Regions, the Northern Mang, and the Southern Vietnam were all Daxia’s neighbors. Although the three countries were not a match for Daxia when they joined forces, once they became enemies with them and some countries with ulterior motives took advantage of the situation, Daxia would be dragged into a quagmire that was difficult to get out of…

Emperor Xia looked unhappy. He hated being blamed for others.

More importantly, he sensed a greater crisis from this trivial matter.

He looked at the prince and asked, “You have also been investigating this case these two days. How is it going?”

The prince immediately lowered his head and said, “I haven’t found any clues yet.”

Emperor Xia looked at King Qi again, and King Qi immediately bowed and said, “Give me a few more days, I will definitely find something…” Emperor

Xia did not have much hope for his two sons. He looked at the ministers in the palace and asked, “Who of you is willing to take on this important task and help me find out the truth about this case?”

The people who were still talking endlessly just now suddenly shut up, and the whole hall was silent.

Not to mention that they were not good at investigating cases, this case was of great importance and no one wanted to be involved.

At this time, a voice came from the back of the crowd: “I am willing to share your worries.”

The ministers turned around and saw a figure.

They were not unfamiliar with this person. During this period, he was very popular in the capital, and no one did not know the name of Lin Xiu.

Before Emperor Xia had time to speak, Lin Xiu bowed to Emperor Xia and said, “Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment, I will be back soon.”
