The wife is the king of the palace

The next day, in the afternoon, in the sunny and lush garden.

The guards who followed Lin Xu all the year round quickly entered the courtyard, and when they saw Lin Xu's figure, they hurriedly said, "My lord, it really is messed up."

The man in white who was sitting sideways by the pool turned his head when he heard the sound, his gaze as cold as a clear spring swept over him, and then looked again at the red dragon carp in the pool in the water.

The guard approached, breathed calmly, and explained the matter in detail, "I have been paying attention as you said, and as expected, the entire market in central Beijing is in chaos, and many people have come from the Prime Minister's Mansion, waiting."

Lin Xu continued to feed fish food into the water without raising his head, and the balls of flames in the water were clearly reflected in his dark eyes.

The sunlight in early summer shines through the canopy of the trees in the pool, and the mottled light spots make the fish chasing and playing in the water faintly visible. Coupled with the red color of the fish, it perfectly outlines a gorgeous painting.

After Lin Xu took off his dark blue court clothes and changed into a scholar's white robe, his body lost a bit of the undeniable look in the court, and a bit more of the easy-going and mysterious quietness like the faint light and shadow in the pool.

Especially his already good-looking face, after losing a bit of sharp-edged handsomeness, people can't take their eyes off him. He is like a fairy who broke into the world, cold and mysterious, making people dare not take a breath , for fear of disturbing the tranquility, this person will disappear in the blink of an eye.

The guards who came to report the situation were stunned for a while.It was Lin Xu who looked up at him again before he realized it.

"Just now the steward sent someone to say that the Prime Minister's Mansion has five or six people waiting to see you, so my lord, where are we now?" the guard asked with downcast eyes.

After the imperial decree to increase the commercial tax was issued, the day was fine, and the merchants and shops that got the news first just walked around to understand the situation.

Later, those who had people in the court rushed to ask others, and those who entrusted their relationship also began to entrust their relationship, but after walking around, everyone found that something seemed wrong.

Those ministers in the court who moved around very diligently on weekdays all started to hide behind closed doors. Even if they were close to each other, the ministers were helpless.

The current situation in the DPRK and China is already tense. Knowing that Jin Qi may be secretly investigating the business and taxation, most of the honest and guilty ministers have already begun to try to separate the relationship and protect themselves. Naturally, it is impossible to get involved in the relationship at this time to seek death.

After one day and one night, those merchants realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately turned into ants on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

Many people even boldly went to the prime minister's mansion to see Lin Xu, the person in charge of the matter, and there were many officials in charge of the court, but they said they were visiting, but Sima Zhaozhi's intentions were well known.

"Don't worry, let them wait if they want to." Lin Xu whispered softly, as if he was afraid of scaring the fish that approached him in the pond.

The guard nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Xu, who had already expected this to happen, had never returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion after today's morning court.Those people couldn't find anyone, and because of this, they became more and more anxious.

Since the imperial decree was issued, Lin Xu did nothing, neither issued instructions nor took any countermeasures, but because he did nothing, it made the already uneasy people even more disturbed.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for Lin Xu to do nothing. He must have made arrangements, but he has not put them on the surface. However, what exactly did he do? Everyone inquired around and speculated secretly, but no one came to a conclusion. .

Under such circumstances, if Lin Xu did something directly, everyone would still see his tricks, but if he didn't do anything, everyone could only stare blankly while being suspicious and uneasy.

This is also what Lin Xu likes. This is a game. His opponents are not only officials in the court, but also merchants from all over the world. The number of opponents is huge.

In such a situation, the best way is to let the enemy troops confuse themselves and show their fox tails.

Things went as expected, and Lin Xu was in a better mood.He threw all the little fish food left in his hand into the water, and when he heard the sound, all the dragon carps in the nearby water all poked their heads around.

In an instant, the water beside Lin Xu was fiery red, which made his skin fairer and his thin lips more crimson against the reflection of the water waves.

After Jin Qi finished his work, when he hurried over after hearing that Lin Xu had been staying here since the morning, he saw such an amazing scene.

The sunshine in early summer, the crystal clear pool, the gorgeous and extremely fiery flames blooming in the water, and the person sitting sideways by the water.

"Your Majesty." The guard was the first to react.

"Go down." Jin Qi stepped forward.

Putting away the astonishment in his eyes, he probed his brain, and he was relieved after making sure that there were no buckets or fishing tools around.

The guards and the eunuch who followed behind him retreated to the outside of the courtyard.

Jin Qi stepped forward, looked at the dragon carps surrounding Lin Xu in the water and then at Lin Xu, suddenly feeling a little jealous.

I don't know what's going on, these dragon carps were obviously raised by him for more than seven years, but they never get close to him.

On weekdays, if he had food in his hand, these dragon carps would swim very fast, and they would immediately gather around him to beg for food, but if they were full, the group of heartless little guys would immediately swim away and ignore him.

However, this group of heartless people whom he has raised for more than seven years and has never matured, every time he sees Lin Xu, even if Lin Xu has nothing in his hand, he will quickly surround him.

Fortunately, they couldn't get out of the water, otherwise they would have jumped out of the water and jumped into Lin Xu's arms to get close to them.

"A group of heartless people." Jin Qi also sat down by the water, seeing that the dragon carp in the water did not respond at all, he reached out his hand and poked the nearest one angrily.

The dragon carp was frightened, turned over with all his strength, his tail made waves, turned around and swam to Lin Xu's side to take refuge, and the dragon carp next to him were frightened and swam away one after another.

Jin Qi already had a bit of a taste, but now seeing this, he felt even more unhappy, "I don't know who to learn from."

Hearing his two complaints, Lin Xu finally responded. He looked up at Jin Qi, and then looked down at the fat-headed fish swimming back and forth beside him in the water, expressing his closeness and liking. He believed in the phrase pet Follow the master's words.

These stupid fat-headed fish are almost carved out of the same shape as the person beside him.

"I heard that your prime minister's mansion is full of people, why did you hide here instead?" Jin Qi said.

"Quiet." Lin Xu replied.

This imperial palace is really a good place to hide people, even if those people are impatient, they would never dare to send someone in to inquire and urge them.

Hearing this, Jin Qi was about to say something more, when a discordant grunt sounded between the two of them.

Hearing the voice, Lin Xu was slightly taken aback, and it took a while for him to come back and look at the person in front of him.

Jin Qi touched his stomach in embarrassment, and when he met Lin Xu's smiling eyes, his ears turned red instantly.

Jin Qi moved his mouth, wanting to explain something, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

Jin Qi didn't say anything, but Lin Xu stared at him.There are very few people with round bodies in the Dayu royal family, and there are not many people who are as easy to get fat as Jin Qi.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu suddenly remembered the rumors in the early years. In the early years when Jin Qi was just an unpopular prince, there were rumors in the palace that he was not the son of the former emperor.

Jin Qi's biological mother was brought back by the former emperor during his private visits abroad. A few years after giving birth to him, she couldn't bear the loneliness in the palace and had affairs with others, and even gave birth to a child in her womb.

After the Dongchuang incident happened, his mother was cast into the cold palace immediately, Jin Qi also fell out of favor and was not welcomed, and there were countless rumors.

Afterwards, Jin Qi was adopted by Concubine Li, who was powerful and powerful at the time, but Concubine Li had two sons under her knees, so naturally she would not pay too much attention to Jin Qi, so before Jin Qi ascended the throne, the court ladies and eunuchs dared to instigate bullying.

Although this matter had become a taboo after Jin Qi ascended the throne, no one dared to talk about it, but it was quite a big disturbance at that time.

Following Lin Xu's gaze, Jin Qi's stomach grunted again, this time much louder than before, which made Jin Qi, who was already a bit embarrassed, even blushed.

"I only said to let you control, not to let you eat." Lin Xu said quietly.

Lin Xu's words instantly ignited Jin Qi's heart, and he exploded instantly, "It's not because of your words that I went on a diet to lose weight, I just didn't eat enough this morning!"

Lin Xu didn't change his face, but continued: "The emperor should exercise more."

"I have practiced." Jin Qi's face turned purple, "I practice boxing every few days, and I also go to the school to practice riding and shooting every month."

After the words fell, Jin Qi was already furious before Lin Xu could speak. Why did he forget that although the person in front of him was a literary champion, he was actually a martial arts champion.

"Let's try it if you don't believe me." Jin Qi got up, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to do a big job.

Fighting with Lin Xu, it might not be possible for him to win, but he still doesn't believe that this person dares to fight him just because of the trick.

Seeing that Jin Qi was very interested, Lin Xu got up and stood in front of him.

Jin Qi didn't wait for the yelling to start, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to punch directly. He had a good air, and his movements were neat. Compared with most martial arts practitioners, he was not bad, but in Lin Xu's eyes, he was just flamboyant punches and embroidered legs.

Lin Xu quickly grabbed Jin Qi's wrist, and with a little force in his hand, he pulled Jin Qi into his arms to restrain him.

Jin Qi felt the world turned upside down for a while, and when he realized that he had already been held in front of him by Lin Xu, Jin Qi's wrist was grabbed, and it was pressed against his back and chest.

When he came back to his senses, Jin Qi listened to the regular heartbeat behind him, smelled the indistinct breath of pen and ink coming from his nose, felt the body temperature of the person behind him, he instinctively held his breath and struggled , "Let me go!"

"Isn't it the emperor who wants to compare?" Lin Xu exerted more strength, and put his arms around Jin Qi's waist to restrain him even tighter.

He is about the same height as Jin Qi, these words almost sounded behind Jin Qi's ears, all the scorching breath he exhaled was on Jin Qi's red hot ears and side face.

Sensing Lin Xu's approach and breathing, feeling the confinement of the tight and powerful arms around his waist, a tingling sensation rushed along Jin Qi's back to the back of his head, making him stiff and straight and numb all over.

Jin Qi found out that he shouldn't provoke this person.This person is poisonous to him, very poisonous, he will die if he touches it, and there is no cure for medicine or stone.Otherwise, how could his heart beat faster and blood spurt faster when he got close to this person?
