Chapter 258
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, with a soft body pillowing on each side, Ning'er on the left and Wan'er on the right.
Last night, although I was just sleeping together on the same bed and nothing else happened, Lin Xiu had experienced this feeling of hugging left and right for the first time, and it was open and upright and legitimate.
He likes the world more and more.
After a while, Qin Wan and Xue Ning'er woke up slowly.
They opened their eyes and saw each other, they were a little uncomfortable.
Xue Ning'er's face turned red and she spoke first: "Although I didn't like you before and you didn't like me either, now we are all family. Let's make peace..."
Qin Wan said: "Okay, I'll be sisters in the future. How could I bother with my sister..."
Xue Ning'er was stunned for a moment, corrected her and said, "You figure it out, I'm the sister."
Qin Wan asked, "Are you older than me?"
Xue Ning'er said: "It's not age!"
Qin Wan sat up from the bed, straightened her chest, and said, "Not counting her age, you are not as old as me..."
Xue Ning'er lost twice and realized that she was not Qin Wan's opponent, so she could only ask for help and said aggrievedly: "Look at her..."
Compared with Qin Wan, Ning'er can't win even if she adds Lin Xiu.
He didn't know how many times he threw his armor under her mouth.
Only A Ke can defeat Qin Wan without any words.
A Ke, who has been untied, is invincible.
This was the morning after they entered the door. The two girls had no time to argue, so they wanted to go and treat Zhao Lingjun to tea.
Lin Xiu is now loving her more and more. Even if other women don’t stop their husband from taking concubines, they have to give a warning or show off their faces when serving tea the next day.
Such a thing would not happen to her at all.
She has the same attitude towards Caiyi, Qin Wan, and Ning'er. She is neither close nor alienated. It is just right, and no one will feel embarrassed.
Praise 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 celebrating the tea, Lin Xiu took them to see his parents again.
The Lin family is big enough now. Lin Xiu originally wanted them to move in, but they were not willing to do so. They said they did not want to disturb their husband and wife's life. Lin Xiu didn't know whether they didn't want to disturb or were not disturbed, so they had to go with them.
The couple Ping'an Hou still don't understand the fact that they have two more daughters-in-law. When Lin Xiu was the only one by his side, Zhou Yun took Lin Xiu's hand and asked, "Xiu'er, why do Your Majesty like to give you marriage so much?"
Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "That's right. Your Majesty is a bit, no, very lustful. He thought that men in the world are as lustful as him. Didn't I make a big splash in the small competition this time? This is his reward for me..."
Zhou Yun said: "Where is such a reward?"
Lin Xiu explained: "Mom, you don't understand it now. This means that my talent is good, and my bloodline is strong. Your Majesty may have hoped that I can marry a few more wives and pass on this excellent bloodline to give birth to several future strong men for Daxia..."
Zhou Yun said unexpectedly: "There is still such a saying?"
Lin Xiu nodded and said, "This has been confirmed by people long ago, so if Your Majesty gives me a marriage again in the future, don't be too surprised..."
Zhou Yun asked, "The princess is living in our house, you won't..."
Lin Xiu hurriedly said, "This is not, this is not, the princess and I only have pure friendship. She lives in our house and practices with me."
Zhou Yun stopped talking about the princess and said to Lin Xiu: "What we said last time, you and Ling Jun should take it to heart. You have been married for almost a year, so why didn't you even make any noise? This time, not only did we urge, but even His Majesty started urging..."
Lin Xiu didn't expect that he fell into the pit he dug into.
It took him a long time to leave their residence with exhaustion.
He was even a little lucky, glad that they did not move in with him, otherwise he might have encountered such a dilemma every day, and even Zhao Lingjun would not be spared.
Lin Xiu could even imagine that kind of embarrassing scene.
Now he can still delay the two of them because they are still young. It will not be so easy to delay them after a few years.
Let’s talk about what’s going on in the future, and now I’ll still enjoy the happy life after marriage.
The next night, Lin Xiu went to Qin Wan's room and completed the ceremony that she had not completed yesterday with her. To be fair, the two went to Ning'er's room and slept until dawn.
On the third day, Lin Xiu stayed in Caiyi's room, played several songs with Caiyi's Qin and Xiao, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
What he has lived these few days is simply the life he has always dreamed of.
In the morning, I cook with Wan'er, then I experience the daily ice and fire with Princess Lingyin Minghe. In the afternoon, I practice martial arts with Ning'er, and in the evening I take the three girls to the garden to enjoy the moon. When the time comes, I go to their room to rest in order.
Because the house is too big, he doesn't feel bored if he stays at home. If it weren't for the summons from the palace, he would have been able to stay out of the house for a month.
After breakfast in the morning, Zhu Jin sent him to the palace. Lin Xiu asked, "Is there anything wrong 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 chief of the Qing officials and some uselessness. Your Majesty wants to give you a new official position. You can consider it first and you can mention it to Your Majesty later."
When Lin Xiu was taken into the imperial study by Zhu Jin, he found that there were still many people in the hall, and the prince and the King of Qi were also listed.
Emperor Xia only holds morning court every five days. If there is anything important in normal times, he will discuss matters with his ministers in the imperial study room.
Lin Xiu did not walk over, but waited at the door of the Imperial Study Room.
Soon, Lin Xiu discovered that he was not the time, because at this moment, he was the topic of discussion among the people.
An official behind the prince walked out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in the past year, the title of Marquis Ping'an has been promoted four times in a row, from a third-class nephew to a second-class marquis. It is unprecedented. You are so kind to the Lin family..."
Someone came out behind the King of Qi and said, "Not only that, Your Majesty also rewarded him with a royal garden. Even if he took a concubine, he personally issued an order to marry him, and asked the Ministry of Rites to take charge of it. Even if he had some talent, you would have too much favor to him..."
Several more officials stood up one after another, all accusing Emperor Xia of being too fond of Lin Xiu.
It is not a good thing for a king to favor a minister too much.
As ministers, they need to remind Your Majesty that the emperor should enjoy the rain and dew, and favor one person is a taboo.
The princelings and the Qi King Party, who usually fight for life and death in the court, have a rare unified position on this matter, and are directly aimed at Lin Xiu, who has been making a name for himself in the royal capital in recent days.
This marriage with the Fusang Tianjiao made him offend the two largest parties in the court at the same time.
However, before they could find the result, a figure hurried into the imperial study room and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Last night, another genius who was recruited by us in Nanyue was assassinated in the inn. Nanyue was in a state of anger and must give them an explanation..."
"What?" Emperor Xia stood up suddenly and said with a calm face: "First it is 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."
There was a burst of discussion in the imperial study room.
At this time, no one discussed Lin Xiu anymore, because what was happening in front of him was even more important.
In the past few days, young geniuses from other countries have been repeatedly assassinated in Daxia. It would be fine if it was one, it could be regarded as a coincidence. However, within three days, three cases occurred in succession, involving the Western Regions, Beimang and Nanyue. But these geniuses were recruited by Daxia and rejected them...
During the process of Xiaobi, the Daxia court also paid attention to the geniuses of other countries. If there are young and outstanding people, they will try to recruit them and cultivate them as seeds so that they can gain glory for Daxia in the future.
Among them, some people will agree, while others will refuse.
Nowadays, those geniuses who refused to recruit Daxia died in the capital of Daxia. Whether it was these three kingdoms or other countries, the first thing they suspected was that the Daxia court failed to recruit him, so they chose to directly erase him.
This suspicion is reasonable and unreasonable.
What is reasonable is Daxia’s motive for murder. What is unreasonable is that unless the Daxia court goes crazy, it will assassinate geniuses from other countries in its own royal capital. Isn’t this intentional leave a handle for others?
Someone must be using this to blame the Daxia court.
Everyone knows who is shaking the blame.
But they had no evidence. In any case, people were assassinated in Daxia, and the Daxia court had the responsibility to investigate the murderer.
If you can't find out, Daxia will take the blame.
But this blame is not easy to take. If this matter is not handled well, it will not only affect the reputation of Daxia among the mainland countries, but also affect the relationship between Daxia and the three countries. The Western Regions, Beimang and Nanyue are all neighbors of Daxia. Although these three countries join forces, they are not the one-union enemy of Daxia. However, once they get into evil with them and let some countries with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation, Daxia will be dragged into a very difficult quagmire...
Emperor Xia looked very bad. He hated the culprit of being blamed for others.
More importantly, he smelled a bigger crisis from this small thing.
He looked at the prince and asked, "You have also been investigating this case these two days. How have you been investigating?"
The prince immediately lowered his head and said, "My son has not 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 any hope for these two sons. He looked at the ministers in the hall and asked, "Who do you want to take on this important task and find out the case for me?"
The people who were talking nonstop just now kept silent for a moment, and the entire hall was silent.
Not to mention that they are not good at investigating cases, the 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 worries for Your Majesty."
The ministers turned around and saw a figure.
They are not unfamiliar with this person. During this period, he has made a big splash in the capital, and no one does not know the name of Lin Xiu.
