Lin Ji never thought that seeing Pei Di again would be like this.
At this time, Emperor Pei didn't have the power of a superior at all. Instead, he showed an extremely kind look.
Maybe it's because he is only in his early thirties and his face is extremely young.
Lin Ji actually felt a bit close to Pei Di.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I just did some things within my duty and cannot bear your Majesty's praise." Lin Ji took a half-step back, and his words were a bit more modest.
He always felt something was wrong.
How could he feel close to a superior person he didn't want to deal with, a stranger he had only met twice.
"Hahaha, Lin Aiqing is good at everything, but she is too humble. You are only in your twenties, which is the age to be wild..."
While he was speaking, Emperor Pei's face showed a bit of regret.
"We're getting along in a different position. If I'm not a member of the Qin family, and I'm young and successful, I will have to be frivolous for a few years before talking about anything else...Lin Aiqing, you are too old-fashioned, this is not good."
Ranwen
After the words fell, Emperor Pei turned around and walked up to the high platform and sat down on the dragon chair.
"Eunuch Chu, please give me a seat."
Eunuch Chu on the side responded, but within two steps of walking out, Fang Yunshan on the side spoke.
"No need, how can we, as ministers, sit in front of His Majesty?" Fang Yunshan waved his hand to stop Eunuch Chu, without looking at Lin Ji, and said to himself, "Jingzhou is still in chaos now, and Supervisor Tiansi also has many trivial matters to deal with... .”
"Master Fang!" Eunuch Chu on the side reminded him with a slight frown.
Fang Yunshan's words and deeds seemed to be respectful, but in fact he had no respect for Emperor Pei.
The implication is, are you in trouble? It's okay, I'm still busy.
How can anyone talk to the emperor like this?
But Emperor Pei, who was in a high position, didn't care about this. Instead, the smile on his face was a little brighter.
"The two beloved queens came to the palace this time to discuss important matters, and one of the rewards for Lin Aiqing is... Eunuch Chu!"
Eunuch Chu understood the words and looked at Lin Ji.
"Master Lin, come with me."
Lin Ji was puzzled, and just as he was about to ask, Emperor Pei from above spoke again.
"I still owe Lin Aiqing a treasure for what happened in Weizhou. It just so happens that I have rewarded him together. I have given Lin Aiqing permission to choose two treasures from the palace's treasure house and take them away."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Lin Ji naturally had no reason to refuse.
On the side, Eunuch Chu was already standing at the door of Changhua Palace, waiting quietly for Lin Ji.
Lin Ji glanced at Fang Yunshan who was standing aside. After seeing Fang Yunshan nodding slightly, he felt relieved and walked towards Eunuch Chu.
Soon, Lin Ji left Changhua Hall with Eunuch Chu.
The moment he walked out of the hall, the door behind him was slowly closed.
Seeing the closed door behind him, Lin Ji was silent for a moment.
He was a little curious about what Pei Emperor and Fang Yunshan said, but it was hard for him to ask if others didn't take the initiative to mention such things.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up and follow Eunuch Chu in front of him, continuing to walk deeper into the palace.
After a while, the two of them had crossed the main hall and arrived at the harem of the Great Qin Palace.
Compared to the previous days where eunuch guards could often be seen running back and forth, there were only palace maids left in the harem.
"Eunuch Chu, why did you bring Lin to the harem?" Lin Ji suddenly asked.
How can a man enter the royal harem?
Didn't you see there aren't even eunuchs?
Eunuch Chu turned back with a slight smile on his lips.
"The treasure trove of the royal family is in this harem. Lord Lin, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty personally promised this matter. No one can use it as an excuse."
Lin Ji was noncommittal.
There was actually nothing to see in the harem of the Great Qin Palace, and even Lin Ji felt a bit cold.
The faces of the palace maids who came and went were tense. From time to time, some women from Pei Emperor could be seen passing by with the palace maids, and they were all nervous.
Lin Ji couldn't figure out the level of the harem and was not interested in it, so he didn't look sideways along the way and thought he was blind.
On the contrary, Eunuch Chu, who was leading the way, was often greeted by people asking him where he was going.
Eunuch Chu also smiled and dealt with it all the way. He seemed to be a lot more polite, but he never stopped.
Originally, Lin Ji thought that he would be able to leave the harem soon, but when the two of them came to a garden and were about to walk through it, a woman in the pavilion in the garden in front raised her hand.
The woman didn't speak, she just raised her hand slightly.
But Eunuch Chu, who had been smiling all the time, took the initiative to stop.
"What?" Lin Ji followed, a little confused.
Eunuch Chu, however, ignored Lin Ji and gave a slight salute to the woman.
"I've met the Queen."
After hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly realized and subconsciously looked at the woman in the pavilion.
It turns out that this person is the current empress of Emperor Pei, Mu Hanfei's biological daughter Mu Chan.
Mu Chan looked to be in her mid-twenties, so she was worthy of being a queen, and her share of the palace's beauty elixirs would never be missing. Therefore, Lin Ji couldn't tell how old this woman was.
But I think it should be about the same as Pei Di.
The appearance is excellent, not to say extremely beautiful, but once you have seen it, you will never forget it.
Wearing a long silk dress, her face was lightly applied with makeup, and her behavior was dignified.
"Eunuch Chu rarely shows up in the harem. Where is he going?"
A soft voice sounded.
"When you return to the Imperial Palace, Your Majesty will reward Master Lin. This is to take Master Lin to the royal treasury." Eunuch Chu bowed slightly and said, "If you want to go to Yangluan Hall, you must pass here... I didn't intend to disturb the Queen's interest. , please punish me."
"What are you talking about, Eunuch Chu?" Mu Chan covered her mouth and chuckled twice, with a bit of resentment in her tone, as if she was complaining about Eunuch Chu's caution.
Soon, her eyes fell on Lin Ji again.
"This Master Lin is..."
Before Lin Ji could speak, Eunuch Chu took the initiative to introduce him.
"Lin Ji, Commander-in-Chief of the Heavenly Supervisor."
Lin Ji cupped his hands symbolically.
Mu Chan's voice sounded again, and this time her tone became inexplicable.
It seems to be teasing, but also seems to be a warning.
"Is this the Commander Lin who beat my brother and went against my father?"
"This..." Eunuch Chu stopped talking.
Lin Ji's face showed a bit of smile.
"Exactly down there."
Mu Chan stood up and looked at Lin Ji.
"As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha. My younger brother Mu Kai is indeed a bit naughty, but his naughtiness has been taught by his father..."
"If he messes with me, I'll deal with him. It's that simple."
"But he is my younger brother and the uncle of the current dynasty."
"I am the fourth-rank commander of the Supervisory Heaven Division, what rank is my uncle Guo?" Lin Ji asked.
Mu Chan was stunned. She had never heard this statement before.
The smile on Lin Ji's face became stronger.
"As a monk in the Supervisory Heaven Si Riyou Realm, countless people and monsters have died at my hands. So who is Mu Kai?"
