Rebirth of the Faint Lord

After the emperor finished speaking, he showed a very kind and amiable smile.

Lin Xiao's eyes moved, he looked at the emperor for a long time, but he couldn't see anything from the emperor's face.

The emperor seemed to have said a very common thing and done a very common thing.

Someone faintly felt that this matter was a bit abnormal, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of peerless genius this Lin Jiu was, worthy of the emperor's attention?It would make people appear on this occasion.

It's completely a sign of success.

Shen Nian looked up at the emperor, others didn't know that he knew, the emperor had never even been out of the palace these days, and he was with him when he was free, and had never seen any outsiders.What is the identity of Lin Jiu who suddenly jumped out?

On the other hand, the emperor seems to have been monitoring Lin Jiu all the time, and he doesn't know what secrets he has.

Shen Nian thought that he understood the emperor's temperament better, and Qi Junmu had deep meaning in everything he said and did.When he mentioned Lin Jiu, he also mentioned Lin Xiao, which was definitely not just casually.

Could it be that Lin Xiao has some secret relationship with Lin Jiu?

When Shen Nian was in the northern border, he was considered free and unrestrained, but when fighting the Bei Rong, his methods were more random and weird. Compared with those who were bound in the capital, he thought of more and more messy things.

And quite dare to think.

Others were still wondering how Lin Jiu got into the eyes of the emperor, and his first reaction was that there was something wrong with Lin Jiu's identity.

No matter what everyone was thinking, Lin Jiu still entered the palace.

Lin Jiu is not very old, but he already has a demeanor. From this point of view, he looks like a son of an aristocratic family, and his gestures are very reserved and dignified.However, because it was the first time he entered the palace, he met the emperor, and all civil and military officials looked at him, so his face was still a little tense.

When he knelt down to salute, his voice trembled unconsciously.

The emperor looked at Lin Jiu with a smile. The current Lin Jiu is a little less calm and calm than the one after Enke back then. Maybe Lin Jiu was admitted to the imperial court at that time and entered the palace by virtue of his true skills. High spirits.

Today, the emperor suddenly invited people in. The time and place are different, and the impact will naturally be different.

The emperor was very charitable and asked Lin Jiu to get up, and then asked Lin Jiu some questions in public, nothing more than some people in the book.When it came to the fields he was familiar with, Lin Jiu forgot to be nervous for a while, and his answer was fluent and smooth.

The emperor admired him, and he said: "I have heard that Mr. Lin is talented, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Lin Jiu was not a fool, so naturally he would not be fascinated by the emperor's words. He pursed his lips and said respectfully, "Thank you for your praise, Caomin is just an ordinary person, and I really dare not accept the emperor's praise."

Qi Junmu laughed lightly, and said, "Who do you study under?"

"Caomin's teacher is an unknown person." Lin Jiu said honestly.

Anyone else would have thought that Lin Jiu was arrogant and refused to tell who his teacher was, but the emperor knew that his teacher was indeed an unknown person.

"Do you have any relatives at home?" Qi Junmu asked again in a good mood.

Lin Jiu lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Caomin has lost his father since he was a child. It was his mother who raised Caomin so that Caomin could study."

"Studying is a luxury for poor people. It is really rare for you to be famous for it." The emperor said this sincerely, and the other ministers were thinking in their hearts, who is this Lin Jiu and how did he become famous?

If it is really the head of the meeting, they should have heard the name and have a little impression.The key now is that they have never heard of it. Are they too ignorant?

Some people feel that things are definitely not as they appear on the surface, but no one knows what secrets lie inside.

Lin Jiu thanked the emperor for his praise, and then stood there quietly.

He looked calm, but in fact, there was a dense sweat on his forehead.

He didn't know what was going on, or why the emperor wanted to see him.The incident was so sudden that he was taken to the palace without even a chance to react.

He is not stupid, there must be something in it, and it is very likely to be related to him.

He has considered the worst case, tonight, he will die in the palace.So before that, he tried to keep calm, and he would answer honestly when the emperor asked him. In order to have a chance, he also showed his true talents and knowledge. Save him.

Lin Jiu had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that he was still very immature in front of these ministers, and it was easy for others to discover his emotions.So he restrained himself as much as possible and lowered his head.

What surprised Lin Jiu was that after the emperor praised him, he was taken down.

There was no intention to kill him or any other indication. When Lin Jiu walked out of the palace gate, his head was still dizzy.He really couldn't understand it, and he didn't understand why he wanted to enter the palace?Could it be that the emperor really valued his talent?

After Lin Jiu stepped back, everyone looked different.

Qi Junmu clapped his hands, and the silk and bamboo orchestra played, and the palace maid came out and danced in the center.

Civil and military officials have different thoughts, the only ones who are really interested in watching the dance are Qi Junmu and Shen Nian.Occasionally, Qi Junmu whispered a few words to Shen Nian, commenting on which piece of string and bamboo sound was the most popular.

Shen Nian was talking to the emperor while looking at the courtiers below.He had a feeling that no matter what the emperor wanted to do, many people might not be able to sleep tonight.

After a while, when the dance was changing, Qi Junmu leaned on the table and chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Today I will have fun with you all, and there will be opera singing later, you can order something if you like it." out."

When the emperor said this, none of the ministers dared to take it seriously, and they all said that the emperor chose the best one.

Qi Junmu smiled and said, "I think so too."

Then the emperor stood up, and he said: "Listen to the play first, I'm a little drunk, go out for a walk to get rid of the drunkenness."

Shen Nian hurriedly stood up and said: "My humble minister will accompany the emperor."

Wen Wan was a little late, but she also expressed the same meaning.She is the empress, and the emperor is drunk, so she naturally wants to accompany her.

Qi Junmu was naturally not drunk, but he took the opportunity to hold Shen Nian's arm, and then slowly walked towards the outside of the hall.

Because of supporting the emperor, Shen Nian walked side by side with the emperor, Wen Wan was a little behind.

Wen Wan looked at the emperor and Shen Nian in front of her, her eyes moved to reveal a hint of thought.

She felt that Shen Nian and the emperor seemed to be too close, and the atmosphere between the two did not look like being bullied or guarded at all.

Thinking of this possibility, the gentle brows could not help but frown. If this is the case, then the relationship between the emperor and Marquis Zhenbei needs to be re-established.

In addition, the layout of the court also needs to be re-divided.

Thinking of this, Wen Wan felt a faint feeling in her heart.

If it was as she had guessed, then was the previous behavior between the emperor and Shen Nian an attempt to set someone up?Reminiscent of the emperor's behavior today, Wen Wan thought, fortunately, they are innocent no matter what.

After walking for a while, Wen Wan discovered that the emperor did not sober up at all, but went directly to Qianhua Hall.That's right, I only took a sip, so I need to sober up.

Wen Wan originally wanted to ask the emperor why he returned to Qianhua Palace, but she didn't ask anything when the words came to her lips.

Arriving at Qianhua Hall, Wen Wan looked at the inside of the hall, feeling that it was very strange.

It should be the place she is most familiar with, but now her eyes are full of strangeness.She didn't know when the utensils were added in the Qianhua Palace, and she didn't know the palace servants in the Qianhua Palace.

For a moment, Wen Wan felt a little flustered.

Qi Junmu sat on the imperial chair, and he said, "Sit down."

Wen Wan sat at the seat closest to him, while Shen Nian stood aside with downcast eyes.The emperor looked up at the scene, but did not speak.He thought to himself, after tonight, he would never wrong this person again.

Wen Wan saw that the emperor didn't leave, she settled down and said: "The emperor is tired, why not let them all go back to the banquet."

"It's okay." Qi Junmu said softly: "The show has just started, so it's good to let them watch it for a while." Yuxi's team is organizing it, so stay tuned.

It was very strange for Wen Wan to hear these words, her heart beat violently twice, and then regained her composure.

In a strange place, Wen Wan felt restless.

After an unknown amount of time, it was said that Lin Xiao brought Lin En to pay his respects.

Qi Junmu lowered his eyes, and then he said lazily, "Let them in."

Wen Wan frowned, not knowing what the emperor wanted to do, the situation in front of her was a little confusing.

After Lin Xiao and Lin En came in, they greeted the emperor, and the emperor asked them to sit down in a gentle voice.

Lin Xiao's face was a bit ugly, he hesitated to speak while looking at the emperor.

Qi Junmu raised his eyes, he looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Auntie is going to invite the queen mother?"

A very common sentence, under the lights, Shen Nian saw Lin Xiao's face turned pale and yellow at the same time.

He smiled, and his smile was a bit ugly: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

"It's fine if uncle doesn't know now." Qi Junmu said with a low smile.

Lin Xiao moved his mouth, and his hands clenched and clenched, tight and tight.

Shen Nian looked at Lin Xiao like this, and frowned inadvertently.

At this moment, Qi Junmu spoke again. He looked at Lin En beside Lin Xiao with a smile and said, "Cousin Lin En, there are no outsiders here tonight, you can take off the mask."

"Your Majesty." Lin Xiao stood up, his voice somewhat distressed: "Lin En's face is ruined, he shouldn't appear in front of everyone, in order to avoid frightening the Emperor, don't take off this mask."

Lin En also got up and said: "Your Majesty, what father said is that even if the Emperor is curious, don't read it."

"Is it because the face is ruined, or you dare not take it off?" Qi Junmu was not moved by Lin Xiao's grief, he said indifferently: "Uncle, why continue to deceive yourself and others now."

"Does the emperor insist on taking off Lin En's mask today?" Lin Xiao struggled in his eyes.

Qi Junmu smiled slightly, and he said: "I understand what uncle means. Uncle is afraid that the world will gossip if the mask is taken off. But it doesn't matter, I am not afraid."

Lin Xiao was about to say something, but Ruan Jiqing's sharp voice came from outside, saying that the Queen Mother had arrived.

The Empress Dowager quickly opened the door and entered. She walked in with Yue Shi, and the palace servants stayed outside the hall.

After the palace door was closed, the Empress Dowager walked a little hurriedly. She walked up to Qi Junmu, her eyes wandered around Lin En, and then she said, "What is the emperor trying to do?"

"My mother has always said that cousin Lin En is my savior. Today I just want to see the true face of this savior. How could even my mother be alarmed." Qi Junmu said lightly.

The Empress Dowager frowned delicately.

Qi Junmu said again: "I have already guessed in my heart, it's better for my mother not to lie to me. My mother is afraid that if you take off your mask, the world will say that you have committed the crime of deceiving the king. But I am also a king, and my mother always calls you Cousin Lin En He is my savior, so cousin Lin En and his uncle's family also committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

The queen mother looked straight at the emperor. She wanted the emperor to shut up, but Qi Junmu didn't do what she wanted.

He continued to speak: "If you don't clarify this matter, no one should think of leaving this palace gate today." After speaking, his voice was particularly cold and ruthless.

Shen Nian seemed to understand something, his eyes showed shock and disbelief.

His eyes flicked back and forth between the emperor and Lin En, and finally he looked at Qi Junmu beside him.

The emperor's slightly indifferent voice came from next to his ear: "It doesn't matter if you don't say or take it off, I understand in my heart, is Cousin Lynn's face under this mask the same as mine?"

In Qianhua Hall, everyone was silent.

Only Shen Nian was shocked and quiet, and the others remained motionless.

Qi Junmu twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered twice, perhaps because the sarcasm was too strong, the Queen Mother couldn't help but said: "Since you understand it in your heart, you shouldn't say it, it won't do you any good."
