Chapter 52: Do You Have a Son?
When Yaerlin saw Lin Xia, he saluted respectfully and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Lin Xia." Young Master Lin Xia got good grades in the school reading, and I haven't gone to the house to congratulate him. ”
"You're welcome, Messenger of Arrin. ”
Seeing Lin Xia dangling in front of the palace gate, and still before entering the harem, Yaerlin couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong with Young Master Lin Xia coming to the palace? If you want to see Your Majesty, please go to the main gate of the palace to report." ”
"I don't mean to see Your Majesty. Lin Xia said bitterly: "I was going to see the third prince Roben, but the Royal Forest Army didn't let me in." ”
"If you want to go to the harem, you must have Your Majesty's approval, but Your Majesty's affairs are very busy, and the approved will will will not come down until tomorrow at the earliest, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see the third prince today." Yaerlin didn't ask Lin Xia why he saw the third prince, after all, this was Lin Xia's private matter.
Lin Xia didn't have any urgency to find Robben, he just wanted to visit Robben, it didn't matter if he was one day earlier or one day later, but Lin Xia didn't understand the rules of the palace and didn't know how to report it, so he said to Yaerlin: "Envoy Yarlin, I don't know the rules of the palace, I don't know if I have time to show me the way." ”
"I just have time, Young Master Lin Xia, please. Yarlin made a gesture of please and led Lin Xia towards the main entrance of the palace.
When the two arrived at the palace, Yarlin told the Imperial Forest Army about Lin Xia's application to enter the harem to visit the prince, and the Royal Forest Army nodded yes and entered the palace to report. The most important duty of the Imperial Guards in the palace is to guard the security of the palace, and if they are on duty at the main gate, they also serve as a briefing. However, instead of reporting directly to the emperor, the affairs were reported to the secretariat, which classified the matter and reported it to the emperor according to the degree of urgency.
After watching the Imperial Forest Army go to report, Yaerlin and Lin Xia chatted for a while, and then said to Lin Xia: "Young Master Lin Xia, if you don't go back today, under normal circumstances, Your Majesty's will will not come down until tomorrow." ”
Lin Xia thought about it, expressed his gratitude to Yarlin, and prepared to say goodbye to Yarlin and go back to wait for news.
Just as Lin Xia was about to say goodbye to Yarlin, the Imperial Forest Army who went in to report came back, bowed to Lin Xia and said, "Your Majesty invites Young Master Lin Xia to meet you." ”
Hearing the words of the Imperial Forest Army, Ya Er Lin Meng, he knew that the emperor liked Lin Xia, but Lin Xia wanted to see the third prince, it was just a trivial matter, how could there be results so quickly. Yarlin looked at Lin Xia, and then at the Royal Forest Army who had returned, and said in a puzzled tone, "You heard me right?"
The Forester said, "That's right. He said respectfully to Lin Xia: "Your Majesty asked you to go in quickly." ”
"Hurry up......" Yarlin thought it was really incredible, even if the prince wanted to meet him, he didn't have this treatment.
And Lin Xia only had to say to Yarlin: "Envoy Yarlin, then I'll go in first." After speaking, the Royal Forest Army led the way and led Lin Xia to the imperial study.
The Imperial Forest Army stopped and said to Lin Xia: "Young Master Lin Xia, Your Majesty is in the imperial study, and he can't enter the imperial study, so he can only take you here, and please go in by yourself." ”
Lin Xia said that he understood, and took out a gold coin to give it to the Imperial Forest Army, and the Royal Forest Army happily accepted it, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "It's not that the Xilin family is lonely, this Lin Xia directly gave a gold coin, which is much more generous than the Minister of War." ”
Lin Xia entered the imperial study, the imperial study was very large, and there were huge bookcases on the left and right sides of the imperial study, in which all kinds of books were placed. The emperor's desk was facing the door of the imperial study, and there were very high pieces of music on the desk, and Emperor Charles sat behind the desk and looked at the pieces one by one.
Lin Xia saluted Charlie and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Charlie glanced up at Lin Xia and said to the waiter beside him, "Give me a seat." ”
The waiter hurriedly moved a chair to Lin Xia.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. After Lin Xia thanked him, he sat down peacefully.
After Charlie finished reading the piece in his hand, he put it aside, and Lin Xiadao, who was slightly reproachful: "It's been more than a month, and you only remembered to come to the palace to see Robben." ”
Hearing Charlie's slightly reproachful words, Lin Xia had no choice but to say, "The minister has been a little busy lately. ”
Charlie said with interest: "Are you busy with your Hongxing?"
Hearing Charlie suddenly mention Hong Xing, Lin Xia didn't know what Charlie meant, so he didn't dare to reply easily.
"I know you saw the injury in Robben's back, and suppressing those gangs in Jiangnan would mean to make Robben angry. Charlie self-righteously thought that Lin Xia was all for Robben, but reminded Lin Xia: "You have made a lot of noise in Jiangnan, and people have reported to me, I have already helped you suppress it, don't do it again in the future." ”
Lin Xia was not sure how to answer, Charlie gave the answer himself, Lin Xia hurriedly said: "Not in the future, Your Majesty, please rest assured." ”
"I know that the Xilin family is living in poverty, you have the idea of establishing a gang to make money, and you are a young man, so it's nothing. But you are a descendant of King Lionheart, and countless people in the empire are watching you, and it is not a glorious thing to establish a gang after all. Charlie reminded again.
"Your Majesty, I already have a plan to put Hongxing under the management of others. Lin Xia had planned to hand over Hongxing to Xavier after the integration of Jiangnan was completed.
Charlie was satisfied with Lin Xia's knowledge of the times, and changed the subject: "Have you ever sung the song I wrote for Mandy, and how is the effect?"
After Lin Xia's assassination, Jiang Nan almost forgot that he had promised the emperor to arrange for Mandy to sing in the palace, and hurriedly replied, "A few songs written by Your Majesty, Mandy have already tried to sing, and the effect is very good, and Miss Mandy herself is also very fond of it, and praises His Majesty's poetry talent." ”
"Then arrange for Miss Mandy to come to the palace to sing as soon as possible, the queen and the concubines are looking forward to it. Charlie said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Lin Xia replied.
"I already told you last time, I can meet your requirements. Charlie brought up his promise to Lin Xia.
"Your Majesty. The minister didn't have any requirements, but the minister had a deep relationship with the three princes and wanted to meet the three princes. But the three princes have lived in the harem for a long time, and it is not easy to meet the three princes. Lin Xia promised Robben about it.
Charlie was satisfied with Lin Xia's request, in fact, Robben also mentioned it, saying that Lin Xia's request was to be able to see him in the harem from time to time, but Charlie still didn't believe it. Lin Xia always has to put forward corresponding requirements for such great achievements, such as letting the Xilin family have the qualifications to re-enter the army, or even directly arranging a good position for Lin Xia, which can be regarded as a normal requirement. From here, it can be seen that Lin Xia attaches great importance to love and righteousness. Thinking of this, Charlie took out a waist card and threw it to Lin Xiadao: "This is the waist card of the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, and I have let the eldest prince manage the Royal Forest Army, so I can't give you the corresponding position, but you can enter and exit the harem at any time with the waist card." "Apparently this waist card was prepared by Charlie a long time ago.
"It's enough to be able to enter and exit the harem, thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Xia said respectfully.
"Someone. Charlie shouted outside the study, and a court attendant in his twenties entered.
"Take Lin Xia to meet the three princes. Charlie commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The palace attendant said to Lin Xia again: "Young Master Lin Xia, please." ”
After Lin Xia saluted Charlie, he went out of the imperial study with the palace envoy.
Although Charlemagne's palace is not as big as the Forbidden City in China, the two of them also walked for a while, and on the way Lin Xia asked the waiter: "What is your name?"
The waiter respectfully said, "My name is Keith." ”
"Shredded chicken?" Lin Xia was a little speechless about the name.
"Yes. ”
"How many years have you been in the palace?" Lin Xia then asked.
Keith replied, "I have been in the palace since I was twelve years old, and now it has been fourteen. ”
Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "You can listen to orders outside the imperial study, you must have won Your Majesty's appreciation." ”
"Nope. Keith said with some melancholy: "I'm just a temporary replacement for the Imperial Study today, and I'll go back to my duties tomorrow." ”
Seeing Keith's melancholy look, Lin Xia couldn't help asking, "What is your position?"
Keith was a little embarrassed and said, "Clean the toilet." ”
"No, it won't. Lin Xia felt a little incredible: "It's been fourteen years since you came to the palace, how can you still do such a low position." ”
Keith said: "The villain's family has no power and power, and there is really no chance of promotion. ”
At this time, the two had already walked to the intersection of the harem, and Keith said: "Young Master Lin Xia, I can't enter the harem, please go in by yourself, see the waiter or the Royal Forest Army, show the waist card given to you by His Majesty, and they will take you to find the third prince." ”
Thinking of Keith's name, Lin Xia hesitated a little and said, "Do you want to go to the harem to wait for the concubines, or even the queen?"
"Of course I want to, but it's a pity that I can't even enter the harem. "The waiters who can enter the harem are all carefully selected, and naturally they will have a high salary, and if they can please the concubines, power is also indispensable.
Lin Xia looked at Keith and said meaningfully, "Have you ever married and left an heir?"
