"Your Majesty is indeed majestic!" Lin Xi said with a face as pale as dirt.
This may sound like sarcasm, but for the old emperor, it can also be regarded as a kind of praise.
The reason why the eldest prince needs to play tricks is because he is just a prince and his name is not justified.
As an emperor, he naturally wields huge power. If he wants to accomplish something, he relies more on using his power to overpower others.
Seeing Lin Xi's expression at this time, the old emperor felt that the heat seemed to be okay again, so he said: "You are a talented person, it is a pity to follow the boss. In two days, you will go to the Ministry of Industry to report, and I will give you a job as a member of the Ministry of Industry. Don’t let it down...and don’t allow rejection.”
Lin Xi opened her mouth, but she really wanted to say: "There's no need to beat around the bush like this. If you have any ideas, just mention them and I will definitely cooperate."
However, the old emperor obviously thought too much. Seeing Lin Xi's unwillingness, he added: "I know that you are dissatisfied and that you want to take an unprecedented path. But I just want to tell you, the path you want to take, I know I’ve fallen in love with you, so everyone can give you glory, wealth, power, beauty, but don’t even think about things that shouldn’t be yours.”
After saying that, the old emperor waved his hand very coolly, indicating that Lin Xi could leave.
Lin Xi walked a little hesitantly, almost turning back three times every step of the way.
Although I really want to 'confess' directly, in order to better promote the plan, I need to be patient.
Lin Xi did not return to the other courtyard, but directly found an inn to stay.
The eldest prince seemed to have received a 'hint' from his father, and he consciously did not come to 'harass' Lin Xi.
Of course, maybe the eldest prince is not willing to accept it and is secretly holding back his bad intentions.
Lin Xi said it didn't matter.
With better and more suitable tool men, the eldest prince can retire with success.
Two days later, Lin Xi took office.
Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, was considered a fifth-grade official. In the past, he was a casual official and did not hold any real power. In the court, similar official positions were allotted by the emperor to the nobles' children to spend their time.
Therefore, with the identity of Xia Houzun, he suddenly became a fifth-rank official. In theory, it seems that it is not too unusual...it's bullshit!
Ministry of Industry!
That's the Ministry of Industry!
Before the first industrial revolution, the most noble was the Ministry of Rites, the richest was the Ministry of Husbandry, the most powerful was the Ministry of Personnel, and the most arrogant was the Ministry of War. However, these are all in the past.
Now...in the entire Xia Kingdom, the one with the most wealth and the most power...is the previously unpopular Ministry of Works.
Let alone a fifth-grade worker from the Ministry of Works, even an ordinary clerk from the Ministry of Works. That is still a fat job, and he would not be replaced by a serious eighth-grade official.
As long as one stands in Guan Jian's position, it is not uncommon for small officials to hold great power.
Because of this, Lin Xi's appointment is particularly eye-catching.
Within half a day, the inn where Lin Xi lived was almost breached.
But one day, Lin Xi's name was added to a house with a garden, a pond, five courtyards, and a large area.
In the house, there are all servants, maids, and housekeepers, as well as warehouses full of grain and gold, silver, pearls, and jade.
Within three days, there were many canaries forced into Lin Xi's house.
They were all trained since childhood and developed good skills.
In this way, Lin Xi didn't make any distinction at all. He didn't reject anyone who came and took them all into his pocket.
This is regarded as "corruption" under the orders, and he has no fear at all.
Since the old emperor promised him wealth and beauty, he couldn't refuse and showed himself to be as honest as water.
In short...Lin Xi wants to make himself full of flaws.
In this way, the 'shy' old emperor can make requests naturally, right?
Luo Cheng, who hadn't visited Lin Xi for a long time, came again this time.
The two of them were sitting together in the Xiang Pavilion next to the lake. In the lobby, two girls dressed in exotic dancers' costumes, revealing their fair waists, were dancing happily.
"Skin like gelatin, waist like a willow, a strange fragrance all over the body, soft as if there are no bones... Such a top-notch beauty must be cultivated since childhood, supplemented with secret medicine every day, and it takes more than ten years to get one."
"Since ancient times, beauties, like famous generals, are not allowed to grow old in the world. Such beauties will wither in their most beautiful years, and few live past the age of twenty-five... It is a pity." Luo Cheng said it was a pity, and on his hands But not polite.
These girls have been snacking on secret medicines that make their skin white and delicate, their figures graceful and graceful, and they carry strange fragrances. Over time, toxins accumulate in their bodies. Not only do they lose the right to be mothers long ago, but they often accumulate in their bodies by the age of around twenty-five. The toxins will explode and there will be no way to save the day.
They are those noble people who claim to be romantic and noble, but they acquiesce in some dirty and despicable things, and are cultivated as playthings for the entertainment of the powerful.
All their skills are designed to make themselves higher-end playthings.
Lin Xi doesn't have too many emotions, nor does she have the heart to burst out and want to solve this kind of social problem.
Because this problem cannot be solved at all.
Even in modern society, there are many such girls.
They were just given another seemingly glorious profession and hid the dirtiness in it.
"Didn't you fall out with me? Why did you come to the door again today?" Lin Xi glanced at Luo Cheng's hands that kept roaming around her delicate body, and looked at the childish-looking but mature girl, as if Like a fish on the beach, he kept opening his mouth to gasp. He had to sigh, Luo Cheng is really an experienced driver.
Everyone understands it, but if you can achieve such an effect without touching the key points, you must have the hands of an old master who has experienced thousands of mountains and crossed thousands of streams.
"You used to hang out with the eldest prince, so of course I can't hang out with you anymore. But now... everyone knows that you are the person that His Majesty likes, and His Majesty admires you... How can I not come?" Luo? Cheng let go of the charming girl and took a deep breath.
Then he sighed: "The fragrance of snow soul... The fragrance is like the white plums on the snow mountain, and it is as elegant as if it is there or not. If I am not wrong, as long as the sword is put into the sheath, its qi and blood will surge, and the reflection will still be reflected between the chest and abdomen." The pink petals are so beautiful.”
As he said this, he looked at Lin Xi with a look that said, "You've made a lot of money."
Lin Xi turned a blind eye to this and had no interest in it.
As a devil who has escaped from vulgar taste, he does not want to develop a story that lasts at least five thousand words, and he does not want to cheat money by cheating the word count in this way.
"You are quite thick-skinned. It was you who parted ways, and now it's you who comes to visit us."
"That's all...are you here to be a lobbyist for His Majesty?" Lin Xi stared at Luo Cheng with bright eyes.
Although Luo Cheng is a die-hard book fan.
But after all, he is also Prince You, and logically he wants to save face.
Now he comes to the house shamelessly, and even poses as a veteran of Hua Cong to communicate with her. No matter how you look at it, you have some ulterior motive.
Lin Xi was looking forward to Luo Cheng giving him the answer he wanted.
After all, Lin Xi was getting impatient with the procrastination going on in circles.
