The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 6 I'm Wrong, Can't I?

"What?" Jin Qi's heart twitched violently, he lifted the hem of his clothes and ran out the door quickly.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch hurriedly followed.

At noon, the early summer sun shines through the lush green leaves, and the golden light spots bring a touch of warmth, mottled the clear water of the lake.

In a courtyard not far from the palace where the emperor lived, Lin Xu glanced at the red-backed dragon carps that all wagged their tails and came up to eat because of his arrival. arm.

"My lord, I really want to..." The face of the guard who followed with a bucket was slightly distorted.

The dragon carp in this pond is the emperor's favorite and his darling. In order to take care of them, the emperor even changed his residence to live near this pond, and he never feeds them by others every day.

If the Prime Minister of their family really fished and stewed this dragon carp, he would be really angry and make the people in the Golden Luan Hall jump their feet.

"Fill." Lin Xu took off his shoes and entered the water.

The water is not deep, only up to the knees, icy cold, with a bit of chill.

Those dragon carps have been raised by people since they were young, and they are not afraid of people at all. When they saw Lin Xu go into the water, they hurriedly came up one by one, wagging their tails, as if they wanted to get close to Lin Xu.

Lin Xu took the net from the side, sprinkled some food beside him, and started catching fish quickly.

These dragon carps are well raised by Jin Qi, and they are all chubby and cute, but they are a little silly, and they don't know how to escape after being caught in the net.

The more Lin Xu stared at the fish in the net, the more he felt that he was somewhat similar to someone. They all said that pets follow their owners, which makes sense.

One, two, the buckets brought by the guards were quickly filled with red dragon carps. Just as Lin Xu picked up another fat one and was about to put it in the bucket, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance. Voice.

"Stop it!" Jin Qi turned the corner, and from a distance, he saw a man standing in the water fishing happily.

Dressed in a dark blue court dress, with the long jet-black hair falling down as the master bent down, the ankles and arms exposed by the tied up hem, coupled with the soaked coat and the water droplets falling from the face, it really is true. People mistakenly think that the beauty in the water has been disturbed.

Seeing this scene, Jin Qi's heart skipped a beat, and it slowed down a beat.

Hearing the sound, Lin Xu raised his head, his long slightly curly eyelashes quivered twice, then pointed to Jin Qi, and his reflection was reflected in his dark eyes.

"You...you let go of my baby..." Jin Qi's heart beat again, but this time it was distressed. The dragon carp in the net in Lin Xu's hand opened his mouth wide in his direction. I was about to suffocate.

Lin Xu didn't answer, his dark eyes fell silent as Jin Qi approached and annihilated, faintly as if he couldn't see the bottom.

"What are you doing?" Jin Qi rushed forward.

After approaching, Jin Qi saw the crowded dragon carp swimming around in the bucket, and saw the white belly that appeared and disappeared at that time, Jin Qi's heart ached even more.

"The emperor came just in time. I wonder if you want to eat steamed or braised?" Lin Xu gracefully put the fish in his hand into the bucket.

The fish stayed outside for a long time, and after re-entering the water, it took a while to react and flipped its white belly into the water.

Seeing this, Jin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time raised his heart, "You really think I won't dare to punish you, don't you?"

"Huh?" Lin Xu looked back at him with a gloomy gaze.

"I'm wrong, can't I be wrong?" Jin Qi immediately hesitated, the majesty of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and the majesty of the emperor are just floating clouds in front of Lin Xu, just because this man can really do anything!

If he really annoyed him, not to mention steamed and braised in brown sauce, this man could slice all his treasures into sashimi immediately with a knife.

He wanted to be tough, but the enemy army was too brave and there were still hostages in his hands.

"What's wrong with the emperor?" Lin Xu's black eyes were as deep as autumn pools.

"You release my fish first." Jin Qi can't wait to rush up to rescue those fat-headed fish that are about to turn their bellies, his treasure!

These dragon carps were only two fingers wide when they were brought into the palace, and he had raised them with his own hands for so many years, and now they finally grew up, if Lin Xu really cooked them, he would be heartbroken to death.

"Release?" Lin Xu glanced at the dragon carp in the bucket, "Did the emperor think that the food in the minister's mansion tasted bad, and I thought that these fish should be ready to eat after being raised for a while, so I specially fished them for them. The emperor cooks, how can he put it away?"

"This fish is a tribute, and it is raised with good water and food every day. It must taste good. I just don't know if the emperor would like to eat steamed, braised, or sweet and sour?"

Jin Qi choked, "I was just joking."

"A joke?" The corners of Lin Xusulai's expressionless face curled up, revealing a creepy but beautiful smile that amazed all living beings in the world, "Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't understand."

"Anyway, you let go of my baby first, let's talk if we have something to say."

Lin Xu lowered his eyes and looked at the dragon carps who had already swam farther away when they realized something was wrong, as if they were about to fish again.

Jin Qi was terrified, just about to rush forward to rescue his own dragon carp, when he saw a eunuch running in a hurry in the distance.

"What happened?" Jin Qi rolled his eyes and immediately asked loudly.

"Back to the emperor, several Shangshu adults are arguing at the gate of the palace." The eunuch hurriedly reported.

When Jin Qi heard the words, he didn't ask the reason, and quickly looked at Lin Xu, "It must be because of something wrong with the river channel. Please also ask the prime minister to come with me."

Speaking of business, there was no joke on Jin Qi's face, and his eyes were full of seriousness and seriousness.

Lin Xu also became a little more serious. It was related to the battle situation in the frontline camp. If something went wrong at this critical moment, it would affect hundreds of thousands of lives, so he had to be cautious.

"What are you waiting for?" Jin Qi turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Seeing this, Lin Xu handed over the net in his hand to the guards on the side, put on his shoes, and hurriedly followed.

After leaving the palace and arriving at the side gate, as expected from a distance, the group of people who were still in the Golden Luan Hall just now were quarreling together, and there seemed to be two people in the middle who were arguing loudly, and the quarrel was serious.

"What happened?" Lin Xu asked.

"Prime Minister." Xu Lan appeared out of nowhere, and was a little surprised to see Lin Xu, because Lin Xu's body was covered with water at the moment.

It's a bright day and it's not raining, why did Lin Xu put himself in such a mess?

"What happened to them?" Lin Xu asked.

Surrounded by the crowd were the Shangshu of the Household Department and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. The two of them were already arguing red-faced at the moment. If they hadn't lost their airs of being a scholar, they might have already scuffled.

Seeing this, the officials next to him wanted to persuade them, but obviously they couldn't dissuade them.

"Didn't there be a discussion in the early court about the need to send people along the way to guard the river? The situation is urgent. The Ministry of Industry has important people, but the Ministry of Households also needs people to collect food and grass urgently. However, the local county government is currently short of manpower, so there is a quarrel." Xu Xu Lan explained.

Su Fanyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Wanyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, have always been at odds. They entered the court at the same time as officials, and they were of the same age.

After entering the court and becoming an official, he was divided into two factions because of different ideas, one for war and the other for peace.The quarrels like today are not once or twice, and everyone has already seen it.

"Not yet." Lin Xu said calmly.

The two who were quarreling in the middle finally calmed down when they heard the sound. They stared at each other fiercely, and looked at Lin Xu, the leader of the officials.

"The Prime Minister is also invited to be the master." The two had always been at odds, but they had an inexplicable tacit understanding, and these words were almost in unison.

As soon as the words fell, the two of them couldn't help but glared again with red faces.

Lin Xu was slightly surprised to see everyone kneeling and worshiping, and turned his head to look for someone. As expected, Jin Qi, who was supposed to come with him, had already disappeared.

Thinking of the nervousness on Jin Qi's face when he heard that there was a quarrel here, Lin Xu raised his brows lightly.

"If there is a shortage of manpower, dispatch manpower to the nearby local army. I will report this matter to the emperor, and you can just go ask for manpower." Lin Xu said.

Transferring people to the local army is not an easy task. It needs the nod of the person holding the military talisman, and more importantly, the emperor's approval and imperial decree. However, the situation is urgent now, and if we follow the procedures, I am afraid that there will be no need to transfer people.

"Yes." The two of them, who had been arguing so badly, clasped their fists together without doubting it.

The prime minister is the head of all officials, second only to the emperor in the court, and can even handle government affairs on his behalf at critical moments. Naturally, no one dares to question what he said, besides, it is just a trivial matter the size of a sesame seed.

The matter was settled, everyone dispersed, Lin Xu walked back, and not long after, he met the guards who were being escorted out of the palace by two eunuchs.

"My lord." Seeing Lin Xu, the guard hurried up to meet him.

Lin Xu glanced at the empty bucket he was carrying, and asked, "Where's the fish?"

"The emperor took it back." The guard's face was a little distorted.

At first he thought something had happened, but not long after his lord and the emperor left in a hurry, he saw the emperor rushing back again.

Needless to say after that, the emperor grabbed the bucket and put all the fish back into the water after a lot of heartbroken wailing.

Before he was kicked out, the emperor was lying beside the water in distress, and it seemed that he couldn't recover for a while.

Lin Xu took a step forward and was about to walk back when the two eunuchs who followed the guards stretched out their hands to stop him.

"Your Excellency, please stop. The emperor just issued an order that the prime minister is not allowed to set foot in this palace in the future." The two looked at each other and bit the bullet to pass on the message.

Lin Xu turned around and walked out of the palace without being angry or annoyed. The eunuch was relieved when he saw this.

The guard at the side was a little surprised. According to his adult temperament, shouldn't he really have to fish it back and stew it before he is reconciled?Why did you give up so easily this time?

The guard was puzzled, but he saw the corners of Lin Xu's mouth slightly raised during his movements, as if he was in a good mood.
