I Don't Want to Be a Charmboy【Quick Wear】

Since that day, Lin Shen stopped pretending to be sick and returned to the Imperial College to continue his studies.

Xiao Nanzhu often invited Lin Shen to have dinner in the East Palace. Most of the time, Xiao Qiyu was also there, often chattering nearby.

The emperor hasn't been seen much recently, but Lin Shen doesn't care. He wishes he could never see Xiao Qi again.

That day, school was over.

Lin Shen was just about to go to the East Palace as invited by the Xiao brothers as usual.

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Eunuch Li, who said that the emperor had summoned him.

"Eunuch Li, I wonder why our father summoned the prince?" Xiao Nanzhu stepped forward, blocking Lin Shen, his eyes fixed on Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li looked at the prince with a smile, and said respectfully, "That is what your majesty meant. I dare not speculate."

Xiao Qiyu was the most impatient. Ever since he knew that his father had that kind of intention towards Lin Shen, he had been like a stressed cat.

"What do you mean, using our father to pressure me?"

Eunuch Li's expression did not change, and he smiled as always, "Third Prince, you are worrying too much. How dare this old servant?"

Xiao Nanzhu held back Xiao Qiyu who was about to say something else, "Eunuch Li is really loyal to my father!"

"I dare not, I dare not." Eunuch Li smiled faintly.

No matter how slow-witted Lin Shen was, he realized that the atmosphere between them was not right, and thought that it would be okay to meet Xiao Qi.

"Okay, Crown Prince and the Third Prince, since His Majesty has invited me, it would be okay for me to go and take a look." Lin Shen looked at the two of them soothingly, especially Xiao Qiyu, who had a bad temper.

Seeing that the young man said so, Xiao Qiyu would not say anything even if he was unhappy.

Lin Shen turned around and followed Eunuch Li.

When he arrived in front of the emperor, he was reviewing memorials. When he saw him coming, he didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to let everyone around him leave.

For a moment, they were the only two people left in the entire hall. Lin Shen stood below, lowering his head and keeping silent.

He really didn't know why the emperor called him here.

"Please sit down." The emperor's voice was gentle, without the majesty of the past.

Lin Shen looked up, then sat down at the seat the emperor pointed to.

"Aren't you curious about why I'm looking for you?" Xiao Qi's face was gentle and there was a smile in his eyes.

Lin Shen shook his head.

After thinking about it, he remembered the annual court meeting in the plot point. I'm afraid that Ji State would also send someone. I just don't know why the emperor asked him this?

Emperor Xiao Qi sat on the dragon throne, looking at Lin Shen gently, and said, "The annual court meeting is coming soon. Each country will send envoys to participate. Ji State sent Crown Prince Lin Yiqian and State Master Qixuan."

Lin Shen roughly understood what the emperor meant. Ji State sent someone of such high status. It didn't seem like he came simply to attend the court meeting, but rather to inquire.

But Xiao Qi should know that the original owner grew up in the cold palace and had no connection with those two people. He was just an abandoned person, so Lin Shen was a little confused as to why the emperor asked this.

Xiao Qi looked at the boy's face carefully, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he felt a little at a loss.

He was just a little worried that the young man would meet the Crown Prince of Ji State at this court meeting. He had met the Crown Prince of Ji State before and he was the best at speaking sweet words. If he was not careful, the Crown Prince would play the emotional card and the young man would want to return to Ji State, then he would lose more than he gained.

But what this honorable Majesty is thinking of is something that we, Lin Shen, can’t even imagine no matter how hard we try.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Lin Shen had no expression.

"Prince, do you want to return to Ji State?" He spoke cautiously, which made Lin Shen a little at a loss.

What does it mean that he wants to go back to Ji State? His missions are all in Yu State, why should he go back to Ji State? He is not the original owner and will not have homesickness. Besides, the original owner has suffered so much in Ji State and may not want to go back.

But Lin Shen also knew that he couldn't say this, so he just pretended to be embarrassed and asked, "Your Majesty, are you testing me?"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and for a moment the decisive and ruthless emperor forgot how to reply to the young man's words so as not to make him sad.

After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "No."

There was a long silence, no one spoke.

The emperor sitting on the high throne was feeling extremely uncomfortable and had no other thoughts at all.

Lin Shen lowered his head to hide the doubts in his heart. He didn't expect the emperor to ask him this. This made him feel a little uneasy. He began to think about the emperor's intentions.

Seeing Lin Shen remained silent, the emperor became even more anxious. He didn't know if his question would make Lin Shen feel uncomfortable.

But he didn't know what to say, so he could only wait for Lin Shen's answer.

After a while, Lin Shen raised his head, looked at the emperor, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I grew up in the cold palace since I was a child. I don't have much memory of Ji State, and I have no intersection with the nominal elder brother. If Your Majesty wants to get some relevant information from me, I am afraid you will be disappointed."

Lin Shen thought for a long time before saying this. Although the emperor said that he might like him, so what? Emperors have always been fickle-hearted. He would not think that Xiao Qi was worried about him.

When the emperor heard Lin Shen's words, his heart tightened. He realized that the young man probably misunderstood, so he quickly stood up and walked in front of the young man, "That's not what I meant."

It was also the first time that Xiao Qi liked someone so much, and no matter how many tricks he had, he could do nothing about it.

Lin Shen turned his head away, avoiding Xiao Qi's eyes.

Just as Xiao Qi was about to take another step forward, the young man suddenly stood up, his refusal obvious.

Xiao Qi's hand stopped in mid-air, his face was still gentle, but there was no trace of gentleness in his eyes.

The man withdrew his hand, looked at the person in front of him with sharp eyes, and then seemed to be deflated, "If you don't want to come to the meeting, you don't have to come."

Lin Shen paused. Of course he would not not go. He had a plot point. He needed to accidentally discover that Xiao Quan was hiding his true intentions and then become jealous.

Therefore, he must attend the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, I will go."

Xiao Qi didn't say anything, turned back to the table, picked up the brush and continued to review the memorials.

He left a faint sentence, "I know."

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't want to talk anymore, Lin Shen bowed and quickly left.

Xiao Qi put down the brush in his hand, looked at the boy's back, and sighed softly.

As soon as Lin Shen came out of the emperor's study, he saw Xiao Nanzhu and Xiao Qiyu, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

When the two saw Lin Shen, Xiao Qiyu ran up to grab Lin Shen, looked him up and down, and then put a smile on his face again.

Before Lin Shen could ask, the two of them dragged Lin Shen to the East Palace.

Back at the East Palace, Xiao Nanzhu and Xiao Qiyu immediately surrounded Lin Shen and asked what the emperor wanted to see him about. Lin Shen simply said, "Your Majesty told me about the court meeting."

Xiao Nanzhu frowned, looked at the young man's face, and asked hesitantly, "Who did Jiguo send?"

"Crown Prince Lin Yiqian and Imperial Preceptor Qixuan." The young man's voice was calm, without any ripples.

Xiao Qiyu grabbed Lin Shen's hand and said, "Lin Shen, you don't want to go back to Ji Country, do you? No, Yu Country is a good place, you must not leave!"

Xiao Nanzhu looked at his silly brother speechlessly. He had checked all the boy's past and knew in his heart that the boy would not want to go back.

Lin Shen nodded, "I won't leave. Besides, the State of Ji sent the Crown Prince and the Imperial Master here. I'm afraid they are here for other matters, not just to attend a court meeting."

Xiao Nanzhu realized what the young man meant, that Ji Guo’s purpose this time was not simple.

"Your Highness, perhaps this is a good opportunity to make a contribution." Lin Shen looked at Xiao Nanzhu with a smile.

Xiao Nanzhu looked at the person in front of him and realized in an instant that the young man was on his side. That was good. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

In the next few days, Lin Shen continued to live his usual life, studying in the Imperial College during the day and going to the East Palace for dinner at night. Xiao Nanzhu and Xiao Qiyu also stayed by his side.

The emperor never summoned Lin Shen again after that day, which made Xiao Qiyu happily eat several bowls of rice.

However, Lin Shen always had an uneasy feeling in his heart. He didn't know where this feeling came from. He thought it was probably something related to the plot, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only wait and see.
