Chapter XXIV

After having such a conversation with Yunlan that day, Lu Yunjing only felt comfortable all over his body, and he no longer had the confusion and helplessness of the past when facing An Jin, and he couldn't help but have some indescribable understanding in his heart: it turned out that after figuring out his own mind, no matter what he did, it was so smooth, and he no longer had the irritability of the past.

Since the joint release of the two copies of "Serving the Country at the First Heart" and "The Peerless Son of the World", the sales of the two books have more than doubled, and An Jin also noticed that his reputation in the capital was getting higher and higher, and Lu Yunjing had received more and more recruits reports recently, and for a while he himself was a little unclear, what these recruits came here to report for.

Whether it was influenced by the picture book of An Jin's "Serving the Country at the First Heart", or by the conscription notice issued by his own propaganda officer.

Every time An Jin went out to the bookstore, he could vaguely feel the fiery gaze coming from behind him, and he didn't know if it was because of his outstanding temperament and appearance or because of the well-received picture books he had drawn.

Because of her foresight, as soon as the picture book went on the market, she issued a notice similar to intellectual property protection from the Taibao Mansion through Lu Yunjing.

Formally, it is naturally not as formal as intellectual property protection in modern society, but it is simply said that once plagiarism is discovered, the plagiarist will be punished heavily.

So far, there have been no cheap similar picture books on the market, and I think it is probably due to the announcement issued by the Taibao Prefecture.

Huang Weijie took care of the bookstore in an orderly manner, and saw that An Jin was sighing to himself, in business, what was needed was a more cautious mind and skill, and An Jin asked himself that he couldn't do it no matter what.

But you can know how to make good use of people, there is no all-round talent in this world who can do it in all aspects, no matter what era it is, there are people who are extremely outstanding in one aspect and extremely bad at others.

This is also the meaning of the existence of class and leader.

It's enough for your boss to know how to make good use of people, and nothing else matters.

On this day, after An Jin went to the bookstore as usual to hand over the new painting book to Huang Weiyu and let him be in charge of selling, he returned to Lu Yunjing's marshal mansion a little boringly.

She has finished all the drafts of "Serving the Country at the First Heart", this series can already be finished, the ending is not unexpected, it must be a drunken beauty who wakes up on her knees to take charge of the world, and the protagonist has become a member of the party that has broken the territory after some struggle.

This is the kind of story that ends like this, and if it weren't for that, no reader would buy it.

ended a new story, and for a while An Jin couldn't think of a new story to replace it, so as to vent his desire to create.

What's more, when I created that story in an almost crazy state, An Jin's mind is still a little tired, and I can't be lazy and can't raise any interest.

Suddenly, someone from the palace came to convey the emperor's holy decree, saying that His Majesty the emperor had summoned him and had important matters to discuss.

An Jin suddenly felt a little strange when he heard this, what did His Majesty the Emperor have to discuss with him? He is not a member of the court, why should he summon himself?

If it weren't for the familiar faces he had seen in the palace before, An Jin would almost think that it was Zhou Xiyue, the little slut who wanted to fix himself again.

To be on the safe side, An Jin still asked the other party: "Don't you need to wait for General Lu?" If Your Majesty summons me, I am a woman, and I will inevitably be extremely unfamiliar with such a thing, and if there is something that is not polite and inappropriate, and it angers the heart of heaven, wouldn't it be ......"

The palace people shook their heads when they heard this, and comforted them with a smile: "Miss An, you can rest assured, Your Majesty has long understood your affairs, and like last time, this is just a private meeting, no matter what you do, Your Majesty will not blame you, although rest assured." ”

Although the palace people said this, the uneasiness in An Jin's heart did not decrease in the slightest, she was silent for a long time and nodded, got up and said, "Father-in-law, please wait for a while, and allow the little girl to change into decent clothes." ”

The palace people nodded: "Please Miss An hurry up, if it takes too long, Your Majesty will be in a hurry." ”

An Jin nodded, and said, "Father-in-law, please rest assured, the little girl knows the priorities." ”

She changed her clothes, thought about it, and left a letter for Lu Yunjing to inform her whereabouts, and then got up and followed the palace people to the palace.

Walking through the corridors, An Jin came to the imperial study room where he faced the saint before.

Unlike last time, when Lu Yunjing was with her, she didn't have any actual feelings about the emperor or anything except knowing the other party's appearance.

And this time, when I came alone, I needed to face this huge pressure alone.

He was the ruler of the entire kingdom, and he possessed a bearing and aura that he had absolutely only seen in his life, and it was not comparable to any man he had ever seen.

What kind of attitude should I have towards this man who combines the power and majesty of the whole world?

Everything is unknown, with this apprehensive mood, An Jin trembled and walked in front of the emperor, knelt down and solemnly bowed three hundred and nine bows according to the way Lu Yunjing saluted that day in his memory.

After waiting for An Jin to finish the salute, the emperor waved his hand, pointed to the small stool on the side and said: "Okay, you are Lu Yunjing's friend, he should have told you, we have grown up together since childhood, so you don't have to care so much about etiquette in front of me." ”

An Jin shook his head and refused: "No, you are a king, we are ministers, the courtesy of a monarch and a minister cannot be wasted no matter what, if General Lu Yunjing and General Lu are here, he will definitely say so." ”

Hearing this, the emperor sighed slightly: "You two guys, it's true, even the words in your mouth seem to be carved out of a mold." ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want."

Saying that, the emperor waved his hand, motioned to the palace people below to serve tea, drank a sip of fragrant tea, the tension in An Jin's heart eased slightly, and the emperor looked at the somewhat restrained woman in front of him with interest: "Anyway, I heard that the new work in today's calligraphy and painting market, the painting called "Serving the Country at the Original Heart", I think it was also created by you, right?" ”

An Jin held the teacup and nodded cautiously in response: "Back to Your Majesty, it is true that as you said, "Serving the Country with the First Heart" is a new work of a little woman. ”

The emperor looked very interested and said, "Oh? Can you tell us where your inspiration came from? ”

An Jin told the truth: "The article "Serving the Country at the Beginning" is a work created by a little woman who suddenly felt in her heart after observing the actual life training methods of the sergeants in the barracks under General Lu. ”

After a pause, An Jin continued: "Of course, the little woman also created the work after feeling the heartfelt efforts of the soldiers and feeling their hearts to serve the country. ”

The Emperor nodded abruptly: "So, to be honest, I have personally visited the barracks and border gates, the places where the soldiers fought, but I have never had such inspiration as you said." ”

An Jin was a little confused, what should she say in this case? Subconsciously, An Jin shook his head and said apologetically: "It's the little woman who has abruptly surprised Your Majesty, I'm sorry." ”

The Emperor shook his head: "There is nothing abrupt or abrupt, no one is perfect, not even I can say that I am 100% good at everything, and this is probably all your unique inspiration as a creator." ”

An Jin was at a loss for the second monk in his heart, and said that he was looking for something important to discuss? What kind of important thing is this, it's just a meaningless idle here.

The emperor said a few words to An Jin so meaninglessly, and he suddenly changed his words and asked: "By the way, Miss An, a woman like you is as smart as you, you really have a little in this world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are unique." ”

"Miss An, oh no, Anjin, I ask you, do you want to marry me? Become my concubine? ”

An Jin was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while, what is this guy talking about? Want me to marry him? Become his concubine?

Are you kidding! How many times has my wife met you? Now you want your wife to marry you? What beautiful things are you thinking!

Why does the old lady have to fall in love with you at first sight, you are sick in the brain!

Of course, these words can only be thought about in my heart, and they can't be scolded to my face, no matter how bastard this guy is, he is an emperor after all, and the only Lu Yunjing he can rely on is just a general, and the gap between the two is absolute in terms of identity and status.

An Jin didn't want to give up his life so easily, as the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and you will be a passerby from now on.

After entering, I don't know if I can show up and create at will like now, no, it's definitely not good, there are so many rules in the palace that it's unimaginable, every word and deed is greatly restricted, and I can't speak freely, let alone move freely.

The emperor stared at An Jin with a deep face and said, "Oh? Did you refuse so decisively, don't you think about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and countless women will not give her such an opportunity even if they want to enter the palace. ”

An Jin shook his head firmly and refused: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, the little girl already has a sweetheart, forgive the little girl for insisting." ”

Suddenly, the palace people ran into the imperial study in a panic, and the emperor was impatient when he saw this: "What's the matter! Didn't I say don't come in and disturb me! ”

Hearing this, the palace man hesitated for a while, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "But Your Majesty, General Lu ...... him"

The anger on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared, and he waved his hand: "Say, what's wrong with General Lu?" ”

The palace man bowed his head respectfully: "General Lu has already left the barracks, saying that he wants to meet His Majesty." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his slightly tense eyebrows, and said impatiently, "Okay, let him in." ”
