Don’t Show the Son

Early the next morning, sunlight came in from the window and fell on Lin Xiu's chest.

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

Last night, although they just slept together on the same bed and nothing else happened, it was the first time for Lin Xiu to experience this feeling of hugging from left to right, and it was fair and legal.

He likes this world more and more.

After a while, Qin Wan and Xue Ning'er woke up leisurely.

They opened their eyes and saw each other, and they were not used to it.

Xue Ning'er blushed, and said first, Although I didn't like you before, and you didn't like me either, but now we're a family, let's make peace...

Qin Wan said: Okay, we will all be sisters from now on, why would I care about my sister?

Xue Ning'er was stunned for a moment, and corrected her: You figure it out, I am the older sister.

Qin Wan asked: Are you as old as me?

Xue Ning'er said: It's not about age!

Qin Wan sat up from the bed, straightened her chest, and said, You're not as old as I am...

Xue Ning'er was defeated twice, and realized that she was no match for Qin Wan, so she could only shake Lin Xiu for help, and said aggrievedly, Look at her...

Compared with Qin Wan, Ning'er couldn't win even with Lin Xiu.

He didn't know how many times he threw his armor under her mouth.

The only one who can defeat Qin Wan without talking is A Ke.

Unshackled Ake is invincible.

This was the morning after they came in, the two girls had no time to quarrel, they were going to offer tea to Zhao Lingjun.

Lin Xiu is liking her more and more now. Even if the big wife of another family does not stop her husband from taking a concubine, she still has to show her off or put on a face when serving tea the next day.

This kind of thing would never happen to her.

To Caiyi, to Qin Wan, and to Ning'er, her attitude is the same, neither intimacy nor alienation, just right, no one will feel embarrassed.

Praise to the best Lingjun 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 visit their parents again.

Today's Lin Mansion is big enough. Lin Xiu originally wanted them to move in, but they didn't want to, saying that they didn't want to disturb their married life. Lin Xiu didn't know whether they didn't want to disturb or be disturbed, but I can go with them.

The Marquis of Ping'an still don't quite understand the matter of having two more daughter-in-laws. When only Lin Xiu was by their side, Zhou Yun took Lin Xiu's hand and asked, Xiu'er, why does Your Majesty like to give you gifts so much? What about marriage?

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, That's right. Your Majesty is a bit, no, very lecherous. He thinks that all the men in the world are as lecherous as him. Didn't I make a big splash in the competition this time? Well, this is his reward for me...

Zhou Yun said: How can there be such a reward?

Lin Xiu explained: Mom, you don't understand. This shows that my talent is good. If I have good talent, my bloodline will be strong. Your Majesty may wish me to marry a few more wives to pass on this excellent bloodline. , to give birth to a few future strong men for Daxia...

Zhou Yun said unexpectedly: There is such a saying?

Lin Xiu nodded and said, This has been confirmed by people a long time ago, so don't be too surprised if His Majesty grants me a marriage in the future...

Zhou Yun asked: Then why does the princess live in our house, you won't...

Lin Xiu hurriedly said: This is not, this is not, the princess and I only have a pure friendship, she lives in our house and practices with me.

Zhou Yun stopped talking about the princess, and said to Lin Xiu: You and Lingjun should take what we said last time to heart, you have been married for almost a year, why is there no movement at all, this time Not only are we urging, even His Majesty has begun to urge...

Lin Xiu didn't expect to fall into the pit she dug.

After a long time, he left their residence exhausted.

He was even a little thankful that they didn't move in together, otherwise, he might encounter this kind of predicament every day, and even Zhao Lingjun would not be spared.

Lin Xiu herself could imagine that embarrassing scene.

Now he can still procrastinate on the grounds that the two of them are still young. After a few years, it will not be so easy to procrastinate.

Let's talk about the future, and now we should enjoy the happy life after marriage.

The next night, Lin Xiu went to Qin Wan's room and finished the ceremony with her that she hadn't finished yesterday. To be fair, the two went to Ning'er's room again and slept together until dawn.

On the third day, Lin Xiu stayed in Caiyi's room, played a few pieces with Caiyi's zither and flute, and then fell asleep hugging each other.

The life he lived these days was simply the life he dreamed of.

Cook with Wan'er in the morning, then experience the two worlds of ice and fire with Princess Lingyin Minghe, practice martial arts with Ning'er in the afternoon, and take the three girls to the garden to enjoy the moon in the evening. When the time comes, go to their rooms to rest in order.

Because the house is too big, he doesn't feel bored staying at home. If he is not summoned by the palace, he can stay out of the house for a month.

After breakfast in the morning, Zhu Jin ordered him to enter the palace. On the way, Lin Xiu asked, Is your Majesty calling me for something?

Zhu Jindao: It's nothing serious, it's just that with your ability, you are still just a small head of the clean-up department, and you are a bit overqualified. His Majesty wants to give you a new official position. You should think about it first, and you can mention it to His Majesty later.

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

Emperor Xia only holds a morning court every five days. Usually, if there is any important matter, he will discuss it with his courtiers in the imperial study.

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

Soon, Lin Xiu realized that he came at the wrong time, because at this moment, everyone was talking about him.

An official behind the prince came out, bowed and said: Your Majesty, in the past year, the title of Marquis of Ping'an has been promoted four times in a row, from the third-class uncle to the second-class marquis, which is unprecedented. You are too kind to the Lin family. Pet...

Someone came out from behind King Qi and said: Not only that, His Majesty also rewarded him with a royal garden, even for him to take a concubine, he personally decreed the marriage, and let the Department of Rites undertake it, even if he has some talents. Favor is too much...

Several officials came forward one after another, all accusing Emperor Xia of being too gracious to Lin Xiu.

It is not a good thing for the king to favor a courtier too much.

As courtiers, it is necessary for them to remind His Majesty that the emperor should enjoy both the rain and the dew, and favoring one person is a taboo for the emperor.

On weekdays, the princelings and the royal party of Qi, who fought for life and death in the court, unexpectedly took a rare unified position on this matter, and pointed their finger at Lin Xiu, who had been making a big splash in the royal capital recently.

This marriage with Fusang Tianjiao made him offend the two largest parties in the court at the same time.

However, before their discussion came to a conclusion, a figure hurried into the imperial study room and said loudly: Your Majesty, it's not good. Last night, another genius we recruited from Nanyue was assassinated in front of the inn. In the middle, the South Vietnamese mission was furious, and the court must give them an explanation...

What? Emperor Xia stood up abruptly, and said with a sullen face, First it was the Western Regions, then Beimang, and then Nanyue. Three people were stabbed in three days. Has the murderer been found?

The official shook his head and said, When he was discovered, he had been dead for a long time.

In the imperial study room, there was a sound of discussion.

At this time, no one was discussing Lin Xiu anymore, because the matter in front of him was more important.

In the past few days, young geniuses from other countries have been assassinated many times in Daxia. If only one incident happened, it could be regarded as a coincidence, but within three days, three incidents happened one after another, involving the three countries of Western Regions, Beimang, and South Vietnam. However, these geniuses were once recruited by Daxia and rejected them...

During the process of Xiaobi, the Great Xia court also paid attention to the talents of other countries. If there were young talents who performed well, they would try to recruit them and cultivate them as seeds so that they could gain glory for Great Xia in the future.

Among them, some will agree, and some will refuse.

Now, those geniuses who refused Daxia's recruitment died one after another in the capital of Daxia. Whether it was the Three Kingdoms or other countries, the first thing they suspected was that the Daxia court failed to recruit them, so they chose to kill them directly.

This suspicion is both reasonable and irrational.

What is reasonable is Daxia's motive for killing. What is unreasonable is that unless the Daxia court is crazy, they will assassinate geniuses from other countries in their capital. Isn't this intentional to leave a handle for others?

Someone must be using this to blame the Great Xia court.

Who is setting the blame, everyone knows in their hearts.

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 they can't find out, Da Xia will have to take the blame for this.

But this scapegoat is not easy to bear. Once this matter is not handled properly, it will not only affect the reputation of Daxia among the mainland countries, but also affect the relationship between Daxia and these three countries. Xia's neighbors, although these three countries joined forces, they are not an enemy of Da Xia, but once they turn against them and allow some countries with ulterior motives to take advantage of it, Da Xia will be dragged into a difficult situation. quagmire...

Emperor Xia's face was very ugly. He hated things like being scapegoated for others.

More importantly, he smelled a bigger crisis from this little incident.

He looked at the prince and asked, You have been investigating this case for the past two days, how is the investigation 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, and I will definitely find out something...

Emperor Xia didn't have any hope for these two sons, looked at the officials in the hall, and asked: Who among you is willing to take on this important task and investigate this case for me?

The people who were chattering just now fell silent instantly, and the entire hall was completely silent.

Not to mention that they are not good at investigating cases, this case is of great importance, and no one wants to get involved.

At this time, a voice came from behind the crowd: I am willing to share your majesty's worries.

The officials all turned their heads and saw a figure.

They were no strangers to this person. During this period of time, he had made a big splash in the capital, and everyone knew Lin Xiu's name.

Before Emperor Xia had time to speak, Lin Xiu bowed to Emperor Xia and said, Please wait here for a while, Your Majesty, I will return as soon as I go.
