Red Mansion: Picking up a Lin Daiyu

Chapter 415 Is this bed so comfortable to sleep on? Let me try it!

"It's ruined! It's Miss Lin's voice."

Ruhua took Xichun's arm and shook her vigorously.

"Miss, if Sister Lin sees us still in the Marquis' room at this late hour, we won't be able to explain it!"

Xichun was stunned and said, "How could that be? We just passed by Sister Lin's room and saw that there was no light on inside. Otherwise, we would have gone to look for Sister Lin first. Why would we come directly to the Marquis?"

Ruhua said anxiously: "What's the point of saying all this now? Why does Miss Lin listen to your explanation? Besides, your explanation doesn't make sense anymore."

"The Marquis is not our elder. Miss Lin will definitely misunderstand me if I stay in his room so late."

Ruhua's words made a lot of sense, and Xichun was at a loss as to what to do, so she was led by Ruhua.

"Come quickly, young lady. The closet in the Marquis' room is very big. It's no problem for the two of us to hide there."

"Oh, good."

Yue Ling turned around and glanced at the two little girls who had hurriedly hidden in the house. He felt really tired and wondered what the two girls had been up to all night.

Besides, it was originally agreed that Lin Daiyu wanted to rest in her room alone, so it was too unusual for her to come and block the door at this time.

"Hey, why can't this wardrobe be opened? It's not locked."

Ruhua pulled the door hard, but it didn't move at all.

The two of them tried hard together, but they couldn't open it.

While the two were stunned, the door opened automatically, and they saw Qin Keqing's captivating face, but her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Sister Lin has come to our house, and you are still arguing here. Are you two going to kill us?"

"us?"

Ruhua and Xichun looked at each other and realized that there were already many people hiding in the closet.

"Why don't you hide somewhere else?"

"Oh, ok, sorry to bother you."

The two maids were busy looking around the room stupidly.

"Girl, hide under the bed. There's room for hiding here!"

Ruhua helped Xichun lie down, and when she looked up, she met the eyes of Tanchun and Shishu.

"Third sister?"

Tanchun smiled awkwardly, trying her best to maintain her dignity, and said, "Fourth sister, I'm not trying to embarrass you, but if we all hide together, it will be too exposed. You should find another place."

Xichun felt as if she was dizzy, and for a moment she could not accept the current situation.

I came to the Marquis' room to look for my second and third sisters, but they had already arrived. What could be the reason?
Xichun was not stupid. After seeing the slightly messy bed and some torn clothes, she realized what had happened in the room.

"Third sister, why did you do such a thing?"

Xichun blushed and was lost in her thoughts, but was pulled back to consciousness by Ruhua.

"Girl, there's no time to ask more questions. We're both small, so we can hide under the mattress, right?"

Xichun shook her head repeatedly, staying away from the mysterious mattress, and took a step back and said, "No, no, you must not hide it on the bed. If you hide it on the bed and get discovered, it will be hard to defend yourself."

"But, but what should I do, girl?"

Xichun turned around and saw that there was a large nanmu desk placed opposite the window. The candles on the desk were not lit, making the side much darker and less noticeable.

"Ruhua, let's go under the desk."

Xichun pulled back the person who had entered the painting, and the two of them curled up and crawled under the desk on their knees.

Everyone hid themselves, held their breath, and quietly looked at the situation in front of the door through the gaps between the various furniture.

Now, although it is a bit like the games that girls usually play, if this is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

Especially with the presence of a character like Qin Keqing, even if they had no ill intentions, they would not be able to prove themselves because of her.

"It would be great if the Marquis could stop Sister Lin from leaving."

At that moment, all the girls in the room had the same thought.

……

Not long ago,
The back hall in the courtyard,
There was a dim light flashing in a place that should not be inhabited.

Xing Xiuyun was leaning against the door, holding a small candle, wearing the pure white crane cloak given by Lin Daiyu, and was already drowsy and about to fall asleep.

She wasn't quite sure why, but Lin Daiyu was quite friendly to her as soon as they met. Perhaps it was her harmless appearance, or her simple and unpretentious nature.

Today she helped to tidy up the mansion for a whole day, and even assisted Miaoyu in building a Buddhist temple in the Prince Qin's Mansion, so that she could have a good rest at night.

However, he did not expect that just before the banquet started, Lin Daiyu came over and left him with this arduous task.

Xing Xiuyan lived with Yue Ling for a period of time, but only when they were at the Caoyun Guild Hall.

At that time, she met Xiangling, who was also a simple and beautiful girl without too many schemes.

Later, she came to Beijing early, and did not see Yue Ling's high-spirited and vigorous efforts to eliminate the Japanese pirates and restore order. This was a great regret in her life.

Unexpectedly, this time, by some strange coincidence, she ended up living in the Dingguo Mansion together with the sisters of the Jia family.

It turns out that people will not always be unlucky.

Xing Xiuyan also felt that her life was about to start anew in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Therefore, she always spoke and acted carefully, and was even more respectful to Lin Daiyu, which made Lin Daiyu value her instead.

Xing Xiuyan knocked her sleepy head against the door, and slowly woke up. She yawned softly, and then looked at the dark courtyard outside. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Miss Lin, are you worrying too much? Why would someone come to see the Marquis so late at night?"

"Besides, I've been with them for a few days, and I don't think they can do such outrageous things."

"Besides, the Marquis is not a man who covets beauty, otherwise Sister Miaoyu would have succeeded long ago."

Caressing her cheek gently, Xing Xiuyan thought to herself, "The Marquis must be a fallen immortal. Miss Lin has a deep misunderstanding of the Marquis."

Just as I was thinking this, I actually heard some noise coming from the corridor in the courtyard.

"Hurry up Xiangling, catch up."

"Oh, here we come."

Xing Xiuyan leaned against the window frame, looking surprised, "Ah? Someone is really coming?"

"After they come in, I have to tell Miss Lin."

After the two people in front entered the door, before even a cup of tea had passed, another uninvited guest came into the courtyard.

Xing Xiuyan was about to raise her hand to open the door, but immediately put her hand back and continued observing.

This cycle repeated several times, and after confirming that no one had come, Xing Xiuyan, with a confused mind, went to knock on Lin Daiyu's door.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, it's me."

Zijuan, who was left behind by Lin Daiyu early to meet her, immediately opened the door and welcomed Xing Xiuyan in.

"Miss Xing, please come in first. She is getting dressed."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but look up at the screen, and saw a delicate figure putting on clothes in the shadow of the lamp, but her movements seemed a little suffocating and she was struggling.

After a cup of tea, Lin Daiyu came out with a natural smile on her face, "Thank you, Sister Xiuyan, did you see who came in?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled awkwardly and said, "There are too many. I can't remember who they are..."

"what?"

Lin Daiyu almost couldn't control the expression on her face, but she forced herself to smile and nodded slightly, "Okay, very good, if you're not sleepy yet, come with me to see the foxy girl in this room?"

Xing Xiuyan suddenly felt that the usually kind and cheerful Lin Daiyu was a little scary. With her fake smile on her face, it seemed that the resentment she endured deep in her heart could hardly be suppressed.

"Okay, Miss Lin, let's go."

Lin Daiyu, accompanied by Zijuan, Xueyan, Qingwen and Xing Xiuyun, came to Yue Ling's door in a mighty procession.

"Brother Yue? Brother Yue?"

"Are you opening the door?"

After calling several times and waiting for a few breaths, the door was finally opened, which made Lin Daiyu frown and feel unhappy.

Yue Ling smiled bitterly, "Sister Lin, aren't you feeling unwell today? Why did you come here at night?"

Looking back again, I saw that there was a group of people following Lin Daiyu, and the expressions on their faces were all wonderful.

Lin Daiyu glared at Yue Ling and walked into the room without saying anything else.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was like a cat with its fur standing on end, Yue Ling couldn't stop her, so he had to let her and her men rush in while he stood by and smiled apologetically.

"Sister Lin, it's so late, do you have anything to say? You've mobilized so many people, is there something important going on?"

Lin Daiyu looked around, but she didn't see anyone. She raised her lips slightly and replied unhappily, "You're asking even though you know the answer. Where is the person?"

Yue Ling scratched his head, "Who is it?"

"Still playing dumb? I asked you where all the people who entered your room went. Could it be that they all jumped out of the window and ran away?"

Qingwen looked at the window frame and replied, "Miss, there is no sign that the window has been opened, so no one has touched it."

Lin Daiyu nodded, her tone becoming a little colder, "Okay, very good, since everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush."

"If you come out now, I won't pursue anything. I'll give you a chance to explain what you are doing in this room."

Lin Daiyu's words spread throughout the house and could be heard everywhere.

"But if I wait until I find it, the consequences will be different. Did you hear that?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingwen, who was standing in front of the window lattice of the desk, felt as if someone touched her leg. She screamed and jumped to the side, only to see two people crawling out from under the desk.

The two girls were still trembling, as if they were very scared.

"Third sister, Ruhua? What are you doing in the room?"

Yue Ling was too embarrassed to watch this farce, so he could only stand aside with his face covered, watching Lin Daiyu dominate the situation.

Xichun and Ruhua both hung their heads, picking at the corners of their clothes with their fingers, looking extremely helpless.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally responded: "Sister Lin, I said that I am the same as you, and I came to the Marquis' room to look for someone. Do you believe me?"

"same as me?"

Lin Daiyu was both angry and amused, but she felt in her heart that Xichun would not participate in such a ridiculous thing, so she gave Xichun another chance to explain while she was still rational.

"Well, tell me, who are you looking for in the room?"

Xichun couldn't help but glance at the closet first, then slowly down to the bottom of the bed. She felt infinite remorse in her heart, wondering how she could be involved in such a storm. "I'm sorry, Third Sister. I have to say this to Sister Lin in person. Don't blame me..."

When she looked up again, Xichun had made up her mind and confessed everything, "Sister Lin, I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to sleep with my second sister, but she wasn't in the room. I went to look for my third sister, but she wasn't there either. I saw that the light was not on over there, so I came to the Marquis's place."

"I...that's all I know."

Lin Daiyu repeated in disbelief, "Second sister, third sister? Are they in this room?"

Xichun tilted her head and whispered, "I hadn't found it yet, and Sister Lin came in."

But the last sentence sounded very unconfident, and the sensitive Lin Daiyu could certainly hear it.

When Lin Daiyu found out that it was Yingchun and Tanchun who came to the room to make trouble, she couldn't help but stop laughing from being angry.

"Okay, okay, it's true that it's hard to draw a tiger even if you can only draw its skin and bones. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. In the daytime, I thought we were good sisters, but at night, you actually wanted to..."

Lin Daiyu was too ashamed to say the following words, so she called out from inside the room again: "I'll count to three more times. If you don't come out, don't blame me for disregarding sisterhood."

"three two……"

In the bookcase, Yingchun's body was shaking with nervousness. When she heard Lin Daiyu start counting down, she couldn't help but raise her hand to hold the cabinet door, wanting to push it open and go out.

"what you do!"

Qin Keqing widened her eyes and quickly pulled her hand back.

Yingchun turned her head with difficulty and said bitterly, "Didn't you hear what Sister Lin said? She has warned us, so we might as well go to her and admit our mistakes as soon as possible. After all, this is our fault."

Qin Keqing looked very disappointed, "The fourth lady didn't betray us. If Miss Lin can't be found, she will naturally look for her somewhere else."

"Besides, do you think that if you go out now, Sister Lin will be lenient with you? You and Xichun are fundamentally different!"

The three sisters have always been inseparable, and everyone treats them as one. After hearing what Qin Keqing said, Yingchun was a little surprised for a moment, "What's the difference between me and the fourth sister?"

Qin Keqing frowned and said, "She is young, and it was an accident that she came to the room. Think about it carefully. You are not like that!"

"what?"

Yingchun had no idea in the first place, and after being taught a lesson by Qin Keqing, she became even more afraid to act rashly.

The situation in the bookcase stabilized, but Tanchun and Shishu under the bed could no longer hold back.

"Girl, you can't hide in this place. If you stick your head out, you will get hurt. It will happen sooner or later. It's better to admit your guilt and let Miss Lin forgive you."

Tanchun's eyes widened, she pointed at herself and said, "Forgive me, why should I forgive you? I haven't done anything wrong. If you hadn't insisted on coming here to make trouble, wouldn't this have happened?"

The maid sighed and pouted, "What should I do? I said I came to serve the Marquis on my own initiative. Do you think Miss Lin will believe me? I am the lady's personal maid, no different from a human being."

"Now you understand clearly!"

Tanchun was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't really dare to go out and face Lin Daiyu.

She was not innocent. To be honest, when she came to see Shishu, she actually had a little expectation in her heart. When she thought of Yue Ling in her dream at night, she couldn't help but call out, and the blush on her face could not fade away.

"one!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you won't come out, right? Then don't blame me."

When Xichun couldn't stop glancing under the bed, Lin Daiyu had already locked on the first target.

He winked at Zijuan and Qingwen and pointed under the bed. The two of them approached the bed from both sides and leaned over together.

"Third girl?"

"Shishu?"

The two men pulled out Tanchun and Shishu from their hiding places, one on the left and one on the right, forcing them to cover their faces as they were not mentally prepared.

Seeing that their skirts were covered with dust, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, but she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere by laughing. Instead, she asked, "Who cleaned Brother Yue's room? How come there is dust under the bed? Someone should come and clean it thoroughly tomorrow."

Then he turned around and said, "However, I see that Third Sister and Shishu really like to clean. Why don't you two come after Brother Yue goes to the yamen?"

Hearing that it was only such a small punishment, the secretary breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, Miss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely clean the room spotlessly, even if I have to come and clean it every day in the future, I will not refuse."

Lin Daiyu sneered, walked up to Tanchun, pushed away her hand that was covering her cheek, lifted her chin and said, "Third sister, why don't you tell me what you are doing in Brother Yue's room instead of resting at night?"

Tanchun couldn't even lower her head, and her face was pressed against his. There was no place to hide, so she could only say aggrievedly: "Sister Lin, you must believe me. This girl heard it from someone. She heard a rumor that the Marquis wanted a maid to sleep with him on the first day, and it had to be a personal maid. So she rushed to this room?"

"I tried to persuade her to leave, but she refused to leave, and was trapped in this room."

Lin Daiyu snorted coldly and asked, "Shishu, is this true?"

Shishu stared at his feet and stammered, "Yes, there is..."

Looking back at Tanchun, Lin Daiyu rubbed her cheek and said with a smile, "Third sister, I hate people who push all the responsibilities onto maids. They are so irresponsible."

"She is your personal maid, we grew up together, can you still not control her?"

Tanchun was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, "Sister Lin, I really didn't..."

Perhaps she was really wronged, and Lin Daiyu was not willing to care about it for the moment. After all, Yue Ling was in front of her, and no matter how she presented it, it would seem that she was jealous and not generous enough.

Let’s put Tanchun aside for now. Her interactions with Yue Ling are not even as many as those between Ni Ni, the daughter of housekeeper Ni, and Yue Ling, so she is not worth mentioning.

Lin Daiyu turned around again and scanned the hall again, "I will punish you all together after everyone is found."

As she spoke, Lin Daiyu walked around the bed and asked Tanchun, "Third sister, if you tell me where the other people in the room are hiding, I will punish you less, how about that?"

Tanchun looked up in astonishment, "Ah? This..."

Qin Keqing in the bookcase couldn't help but secretly get anxious, "Stupid, this girl is really stupid, we are done for!"

Yingchun became more and more uneasy, feeling that danger was approaching, and even spoke incoherently, "But, but Third Sister hasn't betrayed us yet, and Third Sister shouldn't do this..."

Qin Keqing slapped her thigh anxiously, but she couldn't make any noise, so she could only raise it high and then slowly lower it, "This girl must have been fooled by Sister Lin. She didn't say that there was no one in the room, but hesitated here. Isn't that telling Sister Lin that there is someone in the room?"

"We are in trouble!"

"what?"

Sure enough, Tanchun hesitated for a moment and Lin Daiyu smiled knowingly.

"Since he won't come out, that's fine. This room is so small, let's see who is so stubborn. It would be boring if we could find him easily."

At Lin Daiyu's command, the women immediately dispersed.

Even Xichun and Ruhua, who had been spared temporarily, had to join the search team involuntarily and pretended to be very busy.

Only Shishu and Tanchun were isolated and at a loss in the scene, their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts.

Lin Daiyu walked slowly around the room alone, looking around casually, and finally leaned against the wardrobe and asked the other girls, "Did you find the person?"

"No, I haven't found it yet."

Lin Daiyu raised her lips slightly and called Yue Ling, "Brother Yue, why don't you open the wardrobe and show it to us?"

Lin Daiyu's words were more effective than the imperial edict, so Yue Ling had no choice but to stand up and join in.

"Sister Lin, there must be a misunderstanding here."

Lin Daiyu glared, pinched her waist, raised her head and stared straight at Yue Ling, "I think there's someone in here!"

Yue Ling sighed helplessly and had to obey Lin Daiyu's words and open the wardrobe. As the wardrobe door opened, four people were pulled out as well.

"Oh my, the Marquis is so strong. It turns out that he was holding back when he threw me just now."

Qin Keqing said angrily, "Siqi, aren't you very strong? Now you are completely useless."

"That's the Marquis. If I were stronger than the Marquis, I would be a general in the military camp. Why would I hide behind the closet with you?"

"Besides, you didn't help much, especially Xiangling. She's so weak that I think it's hard for her to even take off her clothes."

"I, I don't have any..."

Lin Daiyu leaned over, looked at the four people with a smile, and asked in a gentle voice: "Oh? Have you quarreled enough? How about we go out first and come back when you have quarreled enough?"

Qin Keqing smiled awkwardly, "Enough, enough."

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll start by asking you what you are doing in Brother Yue's room!"

Qin Keqing glanced at Xichun and said, "Sister Lin, do you believe me when I say I'm here to look for someone?"

"Pah!" Lin Daiyu spat, "How shameless!"

Qin Keqing said helplessly: "Since Sister Lin knows everything, why are you asking me? It's so embarrassing..."

Lin Daiyu tilted her head to look at Yingchun, whose face was flushed. "Second sister, what about you?"

"I……"

Before Yingchun could finish her words, Lin Daiyu said, "They are hiding together with her. It must not be a good thing!"

"They are in cahoots with each other! Birds of a feather!"

After looking inside the closet again and making sure no one was there, Lin Daiyu closed the door again and said coldly, "Don't mention it. This closet is a little small. Should I get you a bigger one tomorrow?"

Yue Ling replied awkwardly: "This mansion was given by His Majesty, so it is better not to change the furniture..."

Lin Daiyu glared and said, "You really want to change? Go away, you have no right to speak here!"

"what?!"

Yue Ling held his forehead with his hand helplessly, speechless.

Lin Daiyu looked around and said to all the "sinners": "Can someone explain what is going on? Could it be that you are all here to sleep with me? If you sleep in this room, will there be room for Brother Yue?"

Siqi glared at Shishu and said, "Shishu, why don't you tell the truth? If you hadn't been gossiping in the room, there wouldn't have been such absurd things happening today!"

"I?"

The spearhead was pointed directly at him, and the secretary was also panicked, "Did you overhear what I said to the young lady, so you came to the room to seize the initiative with the second young lady?"

"What a bullshit first move, it's totally useless!"

Lin Daiyu raised her hand to stop them, saying, "Stop arguing. Tell me what you two are talking about first. I think you are ruining the atmosphere in this mansion. I must rectify it today!"

The secretary lowered her head in grievance again, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, and said nervously: "Actually, I heard it from Ying'er. She said that even if the girl in the room has no status or position by the side of the Marquis, she must first be sent to the head maid to serve him in bed."

Qin Keqing blinked, "Hiss, there is such a ridiculous rumor, how come I have never heard of it?"

The secretary added: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Zijuan and Qingwen. They were also there at the time, right?"

"What, me?"

Qingwen and Zijuan each took a step back and looked at Lin Daiyu with great embarrassment.

"People have already testified against you, and you still have nothing to say?"

Qingwen had just gained favor with Yue Ling and could not lose Lin Daiyu's trust, so she hurriedly explained, "No, no, Ying'er didn't say that originally. She said that in order to help Miss Bao win the favor of the Marquis, she took the initiative to sleep with the Marquis and asked Sister Zijuan if she had any."

"Yes, that's right..."

Zijuan lowered her head shyly.

"Ying'er? Sister Bao?"

Yue Ling waved his hands repeatedly, "That's not true at all. How dare Ying'er tell such a lie?"

Zijuan nodded and said, "She must have said that just to save face. Her childish appearance is not much better than Xueyan's..."

Lin Daiyu twitched her lips. "It turns out that the instigator was in Sister Bao's room. It seems that no one in this mansion is spared."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Daiyu said coldly: "It's already night, go back to your rooms first, and wait for me at the Buddhist temple tomorrow morning. I will discipline you then!"

"Yes……"

The women sighed deeply and walked out the door.

Seeing Xueyan lying in an armchair, leaning over the tea table, snoring, Lin Daiyu said again: "Zijuan, Qingwen, you take her back. Sister Xiuyan, thanks to you today, you should go back and rest early."

"Yes... But, does Miss Lin really want to punish them?"

Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "There is no order without rules. If we allow them to make trouble in this room all the time, what will happen? They should be punished."

Xing Xiuyan looked up at Yue Ling again, bowed and then left.

The door was closed again. Lin Daiyu went forward to bolt the door, then returned to the room and stood in front of Yue Ling. She put her hands on her waist and said, "Brother Yue, don't you have anything to say?"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't seem to want to go back to her room, Yue Ling was a little surprised. "Sister Lin, aren't you having your period today? Aren't you not going back tonight?"

Lin Daiyu had just sat on the edge of the bed when she stood up again in shame and anger, "Who brought this up with you? It was Sister Ke'er, right?"

Yue Ling did not refute.

Lin Daiyu snorted coldly and said, "She is the only one who always thinks of sneaky and cunning things!"

"Originally, I just came here to arrest her, but I didn't expect to arrest all three sisters of the Jia family. I think the censor's impeachment of Brother Yue is not groundless, but a foresighted move!"

Yue Ling said helplessly: "I have no connection with them, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?"

Lin Daiyu retorted, "How many people in this room had any connection with Brother Yue in the beginning? Within a few days, weren't they all vying to get into this room?"

Lin Daiyu kicked off her embroidered shoes and rolled over into the bed. "Humph, everyone wants to fight for this bed. I want to see what's so good about it!"

Yue Ling couldn't help laughing. Although Lin Daiyu had just been fierce and bossed everyone around, when it was just the two of them, she was just a proud little girl with a strong possessiveness.

Lin Daiyu gave the way and didn't ask any more questions. Yue Ling immediately got on the bed and lay down beside Lin Daiyu.

"There are two pillows and two quilts here. Is Brother Yue waiting for others to come?"

"Yes."

After a pause, and waiting for Lin Daiyu to glare at him, Yue Ling smiled and said, "Isn't it that the person you are waiting for has arrived?"

Lin Daiyu pouted, but her brows relaxed, obviously satisfied with the answer.

"Hey, glib."

"Is Sister Lin really okay?" Yue Ling was more concerned about this question.

"Nothing." Lin Daiyu said casually, "It should have been delayed for a day. When I went to bed at night, there was nothing unusual."

After saying this, Lin Daiyu suddenly opened her eyes and said in astonishment, "When did I become able to say such things to Brother Yue calmly? I am so embarrassed!"

"It's all Brother Yue's fault. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but move to the side to avoid falling into this land of gentleness and becoming immersed in it.

Yue Ling did not notice this subtle change, but slowly closed his eyes. After a whole day of trouble, he was exhausted. The faint fragrance coming from beside him was just right for him to relax and concentrate.

"Brother Yue, what kind of business are you doing? You haven't told me before."

"Oh, the underwear business."

Yue Ling replied calmly, but his head had stopped working. He just responded subconsciously and fell asleep after that.

"what?"

Lin Daiyu turned over and sat up, her eyes wide open, "Brother Yue! Obscene!"

……

Early the next morning,
Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study.

There is no need to hold an early court today, but the diligent Emperor Longyou will still sit at his desk to handle government affairs, review memorials, and occasionally call ministers in to hold a small court meeting to supplement the work.

Among the memorials piled up like hills, Xia Shouzhong intentionally placed one at the top.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial from Duke Dingguo. When Your Majesty asked for advice yesterday, Duke Dingguo came back and came up with a policy."

"Oh? It's so fast?"

Emperor Longyou's brows were filled with joy. After finishing the medicine soup, he took the memorial and read it.

The first time Xia Shouzhong saw Emperor Longyou read Yue Ling's memorial, his face was slightly distorted, and his expression was so complicated that he couldn't tell whether he was happy, angry, sad or joyful.

"Oh no, did Lord Yue make a mistake? Let me see what Lord Yue wrote. Even Your Majesty is confused."

Xia Shouzhong secretly turned half of his body and took a look at the memorial. The word "underwear" was clearly visible throughout the memorial, which made him feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Master Yue, did you submit the wrong memorial? Did you write your boudoir pleasure to His Majesty?"
