Chapter 230 The Decree
Chapter 228 Imperial Decree

The next day, early in the morning, the rooster crowed twelve times.

It snowed all night again, and the whole land was covered by pure white snowflakes, wrapped in silver, looking at the brightly shining Bianliang City in the sun, everyone will feel a kind of heartfelt joy , as if all the darkness and evil were buried by the white snow and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xiaoyao slept very deeply this time, and it was very fragrant. He didn't have half a dream that night, and he slept until noon.

"dong dong dong"

While Lin Xiaoyao was still sleeping, a slow and soft knock on the door sounded. If he hadn't been about to wake up, he wouldn't even have been able to hear the knock on the door.

"Who is it? You woke me up before it got dark. Is your butt itchy? Do you want me to scratch it for you?" However, Lin Xiaoyao, who was always angry when he got up, was still a little unhappy after being woken up. He covered his head in the quilt, pouted and muttered.

The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and after about a few breaths, there was a helpless voice: "Husband, I am Wan'er, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will tell mother to come and give it to me." You tickle..."

"Wan'er?"

When Lin Xiaoyao heard the words, he jumped up from the bed in a jerk, put on his clothes indiscriminately, opened the door quickly, looked at Xiao Wan'er with a flattering smile and said, "Wan'er, when did you come back? I knew it was My dearest lady, only you know that I am sleeping, and only you will spare no effort to knock on the door gently to wake me up."

Xiao Wan'er didn't believe that Lin Xiaoyao knew it was her, but Lin Xiaoyao's words were very useful to her, and her thoughts were exactly the same, so she didn't care about Lin Xiaoyao's nonsense just now.

"When did you rest last night? Why can't you afford it at such a time, hurry up and wash up, there are people from the palace."

Seeing Lin Xiaoyao's disheveled clothes and a slightly tired face, Xiao Wan'er's heart tightened, and she adjusted his clothes very distressedly, but her face was slightly angry, and she said as if she was a little angry.

"Is someone coming from the palace? Why are you here?"

Lin Xiaoyao asked Xiao Wan'er while washing with the water brought by his servants.

Xiao Wan'er shook her head and said: "We have just returned to the mansion, before we have time to rest, we heard that someone is coming from the palace. Mother heard that you were still sleeping, so she asked me to call you."

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, and didn't waste any more time. After all, the arrival of someone from the palace is still a relatively important and solemn event for the courtiers.

After a quick wash, Xiao Wan'er tidied up his clothes again, and the two rushed to the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, besides Bai Fengyi and Xiao Xiang, there was another person in blue-purple eunuch costume sitting on the guest seat.

"mother……"

Lin Xiaoyao entered the main hall, bowed to Bai Fengyi, and said softly.

"Yaoer, come here quickly." Seeing Lin Xiaoyao appearing, Bai Fengyi quickly stretched out her hand to ask Lin Xiaoyao to come closer, and introduced the person next to him to Lin Xiaoyao, saying: "Yaoer, this is Mr. Li, the chief servant. Those who are closest to you, come and pay respects to Eunuch Li."

"Mrs. Huguo, you are an evil slave! This old slave is only serving the emperor's slave, how can he be worshiped by the son-in-law?" Eunuch Li stood up quickly, bowed to Lin Xiaoyao, and said.

Bai Fengyi is the only wife of Lin Qingtian's son, the blood-clothed army commander Lin Muchen. Back then, when Lin Muchen was fighting with the Xixia army in the battlefield, he fell into an ambush by mistake. In order to reverse the situation and let the soldiers retreat safely, he led three thousand dead soldiers to fight to the death. The [-] troops were not wiped out and left safely, but he and the [-] soldiers were buried in the battlefield...

The news spread back to Bianliang, the capital of the emperor. The emperor was both furious and sad. In the end, Lin Muchen was granted the title of Marquis of Zhongyong, and Bai Fengyi was given the title of Marquis Protector.That's why Li Delian and Eunuch Li called Bai Fengyi Madam Huguo.

In Daxia, only the highest-ranking marquises could be hereditary. Second-class marquises such as Zhongyonghou could not be hereditary. Therefore, although Lin Xiaoyao was the son of a marquis, he could only have the highest status of consort.

"Eunuch Li, I don't agree with you when you say this. Forgive me for saying it bluntly. There are many people who have accompanied the emperor since childhood, but why are you the only one who can serve the emperor personally in the end? That's not your most beloved. The emperor trusts you, the emperor cannot do without you..."

When it comes to wearing a high hat and flattering, Lin Xiaoyao considers himself number two, no one dares to say number one, there is no way, who will let the parents have a mouth that can speak well, and a skin as thick as a city wall?No, in a few words, he praised Eunuch Li so much that he didn't even know what he believed in. His smiling face was as beautiful as a blooming chrysanthemum.

"My son-in-law, you should stop praising your servant, otherwise your servant will float up..."

Eunuch Li is also a wonderful person. No one who can stay with the emperor for a long time is a fool. However, he still likes this kind of high hat, especially the praise of a noble person like Lin Xiaoyao, which makes him even more so. He is happy.But pleasure is pleasure, and he still has his own judgment. Knowing that Lin Xiaoyao was praising himself on purpose, he followed Lin Xiaoyao's words, not only not embarrassing Lin Xiaoyao, but also highlighting his own self-knowledge.

"Eunuch Li, look at my eyes, they are full of sincerity! My smile is even more sincere. How can an honest person like me tell lies? No matter what I said just now, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. Believe it or not, it's all my truth! In my heart, this is Eunuch Li..."

As he said that, Lin Xiaoyao gave a thumbs up. His tone and demeanor were as sincere as they wanted, which directly confused Bai Fengyi and Li Delian. Could it be that Lin Xiaoyao was really being polite?Only Xiao Wan'er and the second daughter, who are familiar with Lin Xiaoyao, know that Lin Xiaoyao is blatantly telling nonsense!

Xiaoxiang blinked her cute big eyes, looked at Xiao Wan'er, and then secretly covered her mouth and laughed, but Lin Xiaoyao accidentally noticed her action, and under Lin Xiaoyao's stare, she quickly put down her hand, In an instant, her serious expression was restored, but while everyone was not paying attention, she secretly arched her nose to Lin Xiaoyao, then snorted softly, and looked in other directions. Lin Xiaoyao couldn't laugh or cry.

"Cough cough..."

Li Delian found that Lin Xiaoyao's mouth was really amazing. If he was allowed to continue talking, let alone what he would look like, even if it was dark, he would not be able to do what the emperor asked him to do, so there was no other way. , I had to cough twice in embarrassment, and reluctantly interrupted Lin Xiaoyao's praise of himself, saying: "My son-in-law, it's getting late, the emperor asked the servant to pass the imperial decree, there is no delay..."

PS: During the Tang and Song Dynasties, eunuchs called themselves slaves, just to distinguish palace maids from eunuchs. Here, according to the Qing Dynasty, eunuchs called themselves slaves.In addition, thanks to the book friend boy for his two monthly tickets for his support!
