Difficulty in deciphering

Chapter 32: Advice from Favor

What Lin Huiye called to see Zhao Minghe again was actually the next morning.This time she didn't bring many people with her, but only brought a few cooks from the imperial dining room with her.Zhao Minghe had just changed his clothes and finished washing when Lin Huiye asked his followers to open the door and come in with porridge and side dishes.She saw Lin Huiye smiling against the light blue sky.

"Minghe, good morning." The man greeted himself like this, with a gentle and cool voice.

"It's really early." Zhao Minghe replied lightly.She wondered if she hadn't woken up early, maybe Lin Huiye would be tucked under the covers right now.

"Why did you get up so early? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Huiye asked while putting porridge and side dishes on the round table in the room.

"I thought His Majesty might come today, so I got up earlier and waited." Zhao Minghe also smiled and replied.

Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Lin Huiye was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to serve the porridge, pretending not to care.

"Since you're up, let's have some porridge."

"Hmm." Zhao Minghe reached out to take the porridge bowl in response, but unexpectedly Lin Huiye didn't give her any intention, so he asked again. "His Majesty?"

"Minghe... can you move it?" Lin Huiye asked with a worried expression.

"Although I'm injured, the porridge bowl can still be moved, so don't bother Your Majesty." Zhao Minghe said with a wry smile.She thought, Lin Huiye was often mischievous but cautious.

However, Lin Huiye still shrank his hands back, hugged the porridge bowl and struggled:

"But this porridge is still a little hot... I'll blow it up for you before you drink it?"

"..."

After half an hour, Zhao Minghe finally finished his porridge.She glanced sideways at Lin Huiye, who was inexplicably nervous sitting on the chair next to him, and the imperial chef next to Lin Huiye, who seemed to be staring herself out of a big hole, not knowing why.

"His Majesty?"

"Huh?" Lin Huiye responded after being brought back to his senses by Zhao Minghe's call.

"what are you thinking?"

"No...it's nothing." Lin Huiye shook his head, smiled, and said casually. "Is the porridge... delicious?"

"It's delicious. It's not salty or bland, just right, and it has the fragrance of vegetables." Zhao Minghe commented.

"That's good." Hearing Zhao Minghe's answer, Lin Huiye flicked his sleeves and stood up, looking a little proud. "You rest, I will send someone to do something else at noon."

"Are you going?"

"Hmm." Lin Huiye said. "I still have something to do when I go to court today. If you miss me, I will come to you after I go to court."

"National affairs are important, Your Majesty should go get busy." Hearing that Lin Huiye would come again, Zhao Minghe only hated himself for being talkative, so he hurriedly bent over and sent Lin Huiye away.

As soon as Lin Huiye left, Xiao Qi followed behind.Zhao Minghe looked at Xiaoqi and said.

"Why do you always feel that Lin Huiye is acting weird this morning?"

"My subordinate heard from her accompanying maid that His Majesty stayed in the imperial kitchen cooking porridge last night."

Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Zhao Minghe froze suddenly, but Xiao Qi didn't notice Zhao Minghe's reaction, and continued.

"She has been letting the cooks taste the porridge in the imperial kitchen until all the cooks agree."

"Then the cooks just say it's okay?" Zhao Minghe said meaninglessly.

"Your Majesty said that if General Zhao says porridge is not good, it means that they are deceiving the emperor. If they commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, they will be put in prison for trial."

Hearing this, Zhao Minghe suddenly smiled. She thought back to the way the cooks were staring at her, and regretted why she didn't say something like "tasty".

At night, Lin Jieyu and Lin Hui stayed up late to revise the script.Among the mountainous piles of memorials, Lin Hui's nightclub threw her two copies from time to time, asking her for her opinion.In the memorials she received in the past, there were at least some content about flood control and famine, but recently the only thing she received was the same.

"It's a male favourite." Lin Jieyu frowned, he was afraid to look at Lin Huiye behind the desk.

"I just can't figure it out. I have ignored these scriptures for so long, and they still can't figure out what I want, instead they are endless. They are... forcing me."

"Your Majesty's illness frightened them. So it's not unexpected that these memorials are presented in multiples." Lin Jieyu said, putting the memorials together and putting them aside. "Now... His Majesty's matter is the most important matter of the Pan Dynasty."

"What do you think?" Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Lin Huiye looked over while propping his chin on the table with one hand.

"I... think that His Majesty only needs to be happy."

"You are quite incompetent as a prime minister." Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Lin Huiye suddenly smiled, and she spoke for a while after seeing Lin Jieyu's expressionless expression. "But... I like it."

The black night was suddenly silent, only the dark wind blowing the burning candlelight flickering.

Lin Jieyu listened to Lin Huiye's talk.

"Xieyu, from now on, you too will go to court together."

Although Lin Huiye only gave the order at night, Shangyijian delivered the official uniform to Lin Jieyu's Hall of All Souls early the next morning.

Lin Jieyu tied up her hair, put it on and went to the mirror to look left and right. The solemn blue waiter and the exquisite blue-black official hat added another level of coldness to her.Lin Jieyu only felt that the color was too dark blue, which made her feel like a different person in a trance.

Although it was the first time to go to court, Lin Jieyu knew exactly where the officials stood in the hall.

The civil servant is on the left, and the official uniform is blue.The military officer is on the right, and his official uniform is red.The first rank is the darkest in color, the fifth rank is the lightest in color, and the seventh rank can only be kept outside the hall.

Lin Jieyu took a general look at the official's branch, and naturally stood beside Kuang Yin. She exchanged a few words with the old man, and then fell silent.However, before he stood for a long time, Lin Jieyu caught a glimpse of a man in a fiery red official uniform coming up from behind, and stood directly beside him at the military officer's position not far away.She turned her head and saw a bright and familiar face.

"Zhao Minghe?" Lin Jieyu frowned, feeling unlucky.

"Lord Xie, long time no see, do you miss me?" Seeing Lin Jieyu frowning, Zhao Minghe smiled.Her voice was not too loud, just for everyone to hear.

"Aren't you seriously injured and recuperating at home?" Lin Jieyu said coldly.

"I heard that Lord Prime Minister Zuo went to court today, so he dragged his wounded body here." Zhao Minghe was still smiling, and Lin Jieyu listened to her continue. "I think, Mr. Xie's first time, no matter what, he should be applauded."

"Your mouth is still so annoying." Hearing that Zhao Minghe was so presumptuous, Lin Jieyu said.

"Could it be that Mr. Xie has tasted it?"

Lin Jieyu felt that he couldn't get along with her anymore, so he simply turned around and ignored her.But Zhao Minghe didn't give up, just when he was about to say something, Lin Huiye arrived.

The whole hall fell silent, Lin Jieyu stared at the wat board in his hand, unable to raise his head to look up at Lin Huiye.That His Majesty, who slept beside him for countless nights, was sitting on the dragon chair in a bright yellow dragon robe at this moment, and he couldn't even look up at the tip of her shoe.

At the beginning, the ministers didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they had to start with trivial matters.Lin Jieyu's thoughts drifted away when she heard it, but when she came back to her senses again, there were already officials admonishing and favoring her.

The ministers observed Lin Huiye's attitude, but found that His Majesty today seems to be different from the past.On weekdays, as soon as an official mentioned this matter, Lin Huiye would retreat from the court, and then they could only submit a memorial.But today, their majesty seems to be willing to listen, so there are more officials admonishing them.

"I think it's time for Your Majesty to accept male favours." After Zuo Suyi retired, Right Suyi added it.

"Why?" Lin Huiye asked.

"When the first emperor was as old as His Majesty, he already had a First Prince. But now, Your Majesty..."

"I can accept male favourites." Hearing what You Shiyi said, Lin Huiye let go, and just when everyone saw a glimmer of hope, all the ministers listened to Lin Huiye again. "But I have a prerequisite."

You Shiyi stood under the stage, not daring to answer rashly.

"If anyone can find me a male favorite who can bear children, I will accept him."

"This...!" Listening to Lin Huiye's words, You Shiyi immediately gasped.He wanted to find a way out, but he couldn't get off.

"What? Is Suyi wanting me to have a baby?"

"Your Majesty, there have been female emperors in Pan Chao's history." Seeing this situation, Zuo Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward. "Under her knees, there are three princes."

"Oh? Which empress is it?" Lin Huiye raised his eyebrows with a calm expression.

"Emperor Lin Zhen." Zuo Shiyi said neither humble nor overbearing.

"What...was her birth?" Lin Huiye asked without being surprised.

"Emperor... imperial concubine..."

"What was my birth?"

"Princess...princess."

"The child she gave birth to is the emperor's child, the blood of the royal family." In an instant, Zuo Shiyi felt that Lin Huiye's expression turned cold. "So... do you want me to give birth to a child for a male favorite, and then let me shed the royal blood into the hands of a male favorite? You...what is your intention?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty's lack of consideration! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Listening to Lin Huiye's words, Zuo Shiyi felt his eyes darken, and immediately knelt down.

"I think it's better to go to the cell to think about the lost things." Lin Huiye said, and immediately put all the left and right lost things into the prison.

The whole hall was instantly silent.Only Lin Huiye smiled gently.

"Is there anything else you love to tell me?"

"I...the ministers didn't mean to persuade Your Majesty to favor men, but the royal blood..." the admonisher Zongren said bravely when he saw that the court was completely silent.

"Zong Aiqing don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements." All the ministers only listened to Lin Huiye's gentle words, as if their anxiety had been soothed.

For a long time, the hall continued to be silent, and finally it was Lin Huiye who spoke.

"Since...all the Aiqings have nothing to do, let me think about how to hold a celebration banquet for Zhao Aiqing, Xie Aiqing and Wei Aiqing...how about it?"

Jumping from the serious topic just now to the celebration banquet, all the ministers felt that the atmosphere had eased, and they gave advice one after another.People like Liu Rui who love to be lively naturally participated in it bravely, but...

It was not until after the next court that she chased after Zhao Minghe and asked.

"Minghe."

"Huh?" Zhao Minghe walked while listening to Liu Rui's nagging.

"You said... did I offend Lord Zhizhi somewhere?"

"Why do you know?" Zhao Minghe looked at Liu Rui sideways and smiled.Such a nervous person could sense Lin Jieyu's hostility, so it can be seen that the woman didn't usually mind the existence of this person.

"No matter what I say, she will be dismissed by her. If you continue like this, will His Majesty think that I am useless and hate me?"

"You are a military officer, even if you are refuted by Mr. Xie, it will not be a serious problem." Zhao Minghe reassured.

"is it?"

"right.Zhao Minghe thought about it, but finally he didn't say the word "right."She suddenly felt that Lin Huiye seemed to have covered an invisible barrier between her and Liu Rui, gradually becoming strangers.
