Honey room fragrance

Chapter 44: The Envoy Leaves the Capital

In the evening, she brought some to Lin Xiao and his wife: "Father and mother, try this osmanthus cake!"

Ye Jinghong took a piece, smelled it, and put it in his mouth: "Not bad, this osmanthus cake is sweet but not greasy, Lord Hou, please try it."

Lin Xiao also ate a piece out of courtesy, as most men don’t like sweets.

When Lin Mimi saw that he had finished eating, she asked, "Father, what about the prince of the Northern Kingdom?"

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and said to her, "Today, His Majesty summoned the prince of the Northern Kingdom to the court. The two countries signed a peace agreement, and the emperor agreed to trade between the two countries."

"The northern country is vast and rich in minerals and iron, but the weather is bad and the resources are far less abundant than in our southern country."

"We have discussed that the iron ore sold by the North Country to our country must be sold to our South Country at a relatively cheap price, and what we sell to them will be calculated according to the normal price of our country's grain."

"No matter who the food or iron ore goes to, it is a serious crime punishable by death. If you are not careful, you will be accused of treason."

"That's why I didn't agree to his request."

"The Northern Kingdom's delegation will set off for the Northern Kingdom in two days. Tomorrow the Emperor will hold a dinner in the palace to see off the Northern Kingdom's prince." Lin Xiao said with a sigh of relief.

After a few people chatted in the room for a while, Lin Mimi went back to her room.

The next day, Lin Mimi entered the palace and sat in the women's area, watching the Northern Prince and the Emperor toast each other.

When Lin Mimi saw the face of the Northern Prince, she remembered the day when he grabbed her neck with a gloomy face.

Thinking back to how he had sent people to kidnap him two days ago, he simply lost all interest in him.

Thinking that they would leave early tomorrow morning, she decided to teach him a lesson.

In the middle of the banquet, the prince of the Northern Kingdom left the banquet, and Lin Mimi followed him out.

She hid in the bushes by the roadside and saw the prince from the northern country going to the toilet. When he came out, she also emerged from the darkness.

She had the itching powder in her hand and she walked slowly in his direction.

When she was one meter away from him, Lin Mimi slipped and pounced on Prince Hutt of the Northern Kingdom.

She sprinkled the itching powder in her hand into his collar, and looked up at the prince of the Northern Kingdom.

She said pitifully, "I'm sorry, I sprained my ankle!"

"Please help me, sir." Lin Mimi held his arms with both hands.

Hutt lowered his cold eyes and looked at her. She was clearly Miss Lin Mimi from the Lin family.

Why did she do this? Was she trying to use her honey trap on him?

He has seen many women like this who curry favor with the powerful, and he wants to see what she is going to do!

Hutt held her slender waist and lifted her up, only to feel her body stiffen for a moment.

After Lin Mimi stood up, she bowed to him distantly and thanked him: "Thank you, sir. I will just rest here for a while!"

Lin Mimi then sat on the bench beside the corridor.

Not caring whether he left or stayed at this moment, Hutt saw that she did not take the next step.

I felt embarrassed to stay any longer so I left. I guess I wanted to use this special way to attract his attention!

After turning around, he sneered, "Humph! Self-righteous woman!"

When Lin Mimi saw him leaving, she stopped pretending and stood up and left.

When she returned to the table, she saw Hutt scratching his chest from time to time. At this time, the emperor and empress finished their last glass of wine and left the table.

The ministers also bowed, and then the ministers' wives left one after another.

Lin Mimi and her family also thanked and left. Lin Mimi even glanced at Hutt before leaving.

Seeing that he was a little irritated at this time, he kept scratching his body, but it seemed that the more he scratched, the more itchy it became.

Then Hutt left the banquet and returned to Honglu Temple. He thought it was just an ordinary itch and it would go away after a while, but he didn't expect it to itch all night.

Hutt scratched his skin all over that night, but the itching was gone the next morning.

The next day he called someone from the Honglu Temple and asked them to invite a doctor to check on him.

The doctor couldn't find the cause of the disease, and only said that it might be something he ate that caused his body to become more and more itchy.

He was only given some anti-itching ointment to apply. He felt that someone was trying to harm him, so he asked the officials to report to the emperor.

The emperor sent an imperial physician to investigate, and the physician's diagnosis was the same.

The imperial physician returned to the palace to report to the emperor, who thought that this was an excuse for him to stay in the capital.

He ordered the officials of the Honglu Temple to send them away today. Hutt saw that the doctor and the imperial physician had the same diagnosis.

He thought it was the emperor who sent a signal, so he went out and found a clinic.

It turned out that the doctor in the clinic gave the same answer, and he was puzzled.

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom signed an agreement with us, so he shouldn't poison me. If it wasn't the Emperor, then what went wrong?

A figure suddenly popped up in his mind. Could it be that Lin Mimi did something to him last night?

But he no longer felt itchy and there was no evidence of poisoning. He also had no evidence to prove that it was Lin Mimi's doing.

I could only grit my teeth and swallow my anger, not wanting her to fall into his hands.

Finally, he set off with the envoys from the Northern Kingdom. He felt that his only purpose of this trip was to engage in trade.

I don’t know when I will be able to make changes next time.

He cursed Lin Mimi over and over again in his heart!

The officials of the Honglu Temple felt a lot more relieved after seeing off the prince of the northern kingdom and his entourage.

Send him away! Send him away and report back to the Emperor!

Lin Mimi woke up in a good mood today and gave the Northern Prince a little punishment, but he couldn't find any handle on her.

Hahaha! I just want to laugh when I think about how helpless he is about this matter! He deserves it!

She went out in a carriage and went to Lan Yin Pavilion. The owner of Lan Yin Pavilion saw Lin Mimi coming.

So he invited her to the attic on the second floor and served her some delicious tea and snacks.

The eldest boss had already told them before that the second boss of Lanyin Pavilion was Lin Mimi, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

Then the shopkeeper took the store account book and showed it to Lin Mimi.

Oh my goodness! This month's profit seems to be a bit high?

She called the shopkeeper to ask, and the shopkeeper replied: "Miss Lin, you don't know that many people come to buy during festivals. This month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is very common for men and women to give each other gifts!"

When Lin Mimi heard him say this, she realized that the amount Lan Qi had mentioned before was just an approximate amount and there was no specific amount.

It looks like she got a great deal!

Lin Mimi: "When does your boss usually come to inspect the store?"

Shopkeeper: "The big boss comes at the beginning, middle, and end of every month. Today is the end of the month, so I think the big boss should be on his way."

Lin Mimi: “…”

Lin Mimi: "!!!!!!"

She just asked casually, it was a sudden thought, it was just a coincidence!

At this time, the servant downstairs came up and said to the shopkeeper: "The big boss is here."

The shopkeeper quickly said to Lin Mimi, "Ms. Lin, please sit down for a moment."

After Lin Mimi nodded to him, the shopkeeper went downstairs to greet Lan Qi.
