"How do you ask me to calm down the anger? My son was actually bullied by a eunuch. You said that if this matter gets out, where will I put my old face?"
Qin Gong looked at her wife and said, feeling somewhat unable to swallow this breath.
Li Shi sighed, walked over and patted Qin Gong's back gently.
"Then the eunuch is the emperor's servant no matter what, and our son was the one who was at fault, so let's forget it."
Hearing what his wife said, Qin Gong became even more angry.
"Hmph, even if the current emperor beats my son for no reason, I will argue with the emperor."
When Qin Gong said this, Mrs. Li panicked instantly. If the emperor's people heard this, their family would be guilty of annihilating the nine tribes.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it yet."
Mrs. Li glanced at the maids next to her, and with a wink asked them all to walk out.
"Now His Majesty is worried about the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms. We can bear with it as long as we can."
But Qin Gong didn't listen at all, and was still thinking about how to tell Zhao Yan about this matter in the morning tomorrow.
At this time, Lin Xu had already bought all the dishes the emperor wanted, and with his sharp tongue, he spent thirty taels of silver to buy everything.
Holding the remaining twenty taels in his hand, I couldn't be more happy.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I must have a good talk with His Majesty when I get back. I will do this errand by myself in the future. Thirty taels of silver will solve the problem, but I will be given fifty taels. If I make more trips, wouldn't I be rich?"
Lin Xu looked at the white silver in his hand, with an evil smile on his lips.
Now he is holding the dishes in his hands and standing at the place where he was separated from Eunuch Cao before, waiting for Eunuch Cao.
When it was almost dark, Eunuch Cao came out.
There was an unfinished expression on his face. If Lin Xu hadn't overheard the things he did before, he might never have imagined that a eunuch would go to such a romantic place.
"Is everything done?"
Eunuch Cao looked at the dishes Lin Xu bought and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's done. This time I have five taels of silver left. I can give it to my father-in-law as a small tribute."
Lin Xu reluctantly took out five taels from the twenty taels and handed them to the old eunuch.
Eunuch Cao was even more satisfied after receiving it.
"Yes, yes, you can follow me from now on. If there is another errand like this, I will ask you to come out together."
Eunuch Cao patted Lin Xu on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then walked swaggering in front, leaving Lin Xu to hold such a heavy thing alone.
After finally arriving at the palace, Lin Xu had just put down his things when he heard the emperor summoning him again.
"When His Majesty asks about this matter, you know what to say."
When Eunuch Cao heard that His Majesty had summoned Lin Xu so quickly, he felt somewhat uneasy. He held Lin Xu's hand and looked a little solemn.
Lin Xu naturally nodded.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I know what to say."
After hearing what he said, Eunuch Cao felt relieved, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go, remember not to talk nonsense."
Lin Xu nodded, looked at the flickering candlelight outside the palace, took a deep breath, and walked inside.
"This slave is here to meet His Majesty!"
Although he was well prepared, Lin Xu still felt very stiff after kneeling down and kowtow.
"Flat body."
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at Lin Xu kneeling underneath.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Xu stood up from the ground, folding his hands on his waist.
"The reason why I came to you this time is because I still have to discuss with you the memorials you wrote before. You have great talent. If you do well in the future, I will give you a chance."
Zhao Yan was very satisfied when he saw Lin Xu, and started drawing a pie at that time.
Lin Xu naturally nodded.
After the two talked, Zhao Yan was very satisfied. If this continues, their country of Great Xia will be revived again sooner or later.
"By the way, you didn't encounter anything when you went shopping with Eunuch Cao today, right?"
Hearing His Majesty's question, Lin Xu immediately lowered his head.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I did encounter some trouble today after following Eunuch Cao out, but I saved the day."
Seeing Lin Xu's scared look, Zhao Yan became a little confused.
"Please tell me carefully what happened to you. As long as it is reasonable and reasonable, I will make the decision for you."
After Lin Xu heard His Majesty say this, he immediately raised his head.
"Your Majesty is really wise. Originally, my servant went out to purchase according to your instructions. Who would have thought that when the villain just walked to that street, he suddenly saw a rich man bullying a common girl there."
"The slave immediately became excited. This is under the emperor's feet. How can those people be allowed to be arrogant? So the slave taught the young master a lesson without saying a word. However, listening to the other party's words, it seemed that his father was a very powerful person. The slave felt We got into trouble this time.”
Originally, Lin Xu was still thinking about an excuse to talk about this matter, but Zhao Yan happened to ask, so he couldn't be blamed.
As Lin Xu expected, Zhao Yan immediately slapped the table after hearing this.
Who dares to be so bold?
"Do you know who the other party is?"
Zhao Yan was angry. Someone dared to say harsh words to his favorite eunuch. Did he not take himself seriously?
"I don't know, but looking at the other person's appearance, I think he must be a senior member of the imperial court."
Lin Xu lowered his head and said in a very respectful tone.
Zhao Yan frowned immediately when he heard what he said.
"Since you know you are a senior official, why do you still take action? Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid! In that situation, I couldn't control myself at all. Your Majesty is the king of a country after all, and I also thought about His Majesty's power."
Lin Xu's flattery touched Zhao Yan's heart.
Zhao Yan half-squinted his eyes. The most powerful person in the court was the prime minister.
Today, he is different from what he used to be. Even if he is really the son of the prime minister, if the prime minister dares to come to him to accuse him, he will be scolded on the spot.
"It's okay. You, Lin Xu, are mine. Even if those people want to attack you, they still have to see if I agree."
Zhao Yan looked majestic, and at this moment he felt like a real king.
Lin Xu felt a little happy immediately. The emperor was quite wise and knew what to do.
"Your Majesty, when I went out this time, I used my own money to buy a jade pendant. I saw that this jade pendant was quite novel, so I wanted to give it to Your Majesty again."
Lin Xu also knew that he had never seen what kind of treasure Zhao Yan was as the king of a country.
