But he was the emperor after all, so Zhu Houzhao quickly suppressed his unhappiness, waved his hand, and asked the concubines and dancers in front of him to disperse.

Then, Zhu Houzhao ordered Shen Xin to come in.

"Announce...Shen Xin, the elder of the Beggars' Sect of the Northern Song Dynasty, is here to see you."

A sharp voice came from the hall, and the two imperial guards who were blocking Shen Xin at the door immediately moved aside.

Shen Xin didn't bother with the two gatekeepers, and he came today to see his elder brother-in-law. Otherwise, if he wanted to see Zhu Houzhao, he could just appear in front of Zhu Houzhao directly without going through so much trouble.

Soon, Shen Xin walked into the hall and stopped about ten meters in front of Zhu Houzhao. Then, he bowed and said with a smile: "Shen Xin greets the emperor."

"You're welcome, Mr. Shen." Zhu Houzhao sat upright, smiling with some joy in his eyes, as if he was very happy about Shen Xin's arrival.

He even wanted to leave the seat, but he seemed to be concerned about his status as emperor and stopped.

It has to be said that if it were someone else, they would probably be moved to tears of gratitude for Zhu Houzhao's performance.

After all, it is impossible for anyone to remain calm when the king of a country is like this.

But Shen Xin is different. He came from another time. In his eyes, the almighty emperor is also a human being. There is no difference between them, let alone nobility.

Moreover, he knew even better that Zhu Houzhao must be aware of his affair with Wan Zhen'er.

"The battle between Master Shen and Ximen Chuxue really opened my eyes. Ximen Chuxue is no ordinary man. His swordsmanship is superb and he deserves the title of Sword God. But compared to Master Shen, Ximen Chuxue is still inferior."

Zhu Houzhao did not directly ask Shen Xin the purpose of his visit, but instead praised Shen Xin whenever he saw him.

Who doesn't like to hear flattery? And this flattery came from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Even though Shen Xin did not feel complacent about this, he was still less guarded against Zhu Houzhao.

He smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

"I came to the palace this time because I actually have something to discuss with Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

He was also very curious about this.

He also guessed that Shen Xin most likely came with good intentions.

If Shen Xin really had bad intentions, he would have appeared directly in front of him or forced his way in, and he would not have been stopped by the two guards at the door.

Shen Xin did not answer directly, but glanced at the eunuch standing next to Zhu Houzhao and the two palace maids fanning him behind him.

"You guys go back first." Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao decisively asked several people to go back.

Even if Shen Xin really has bad intentions, these three people can't do anything about it.

The people who truly protect Zhu Houzhao are all in the dark.

Of course, these people could not hide from Shen Xin's spiritual sense, but Shen Xin had no intention of exposing them.

After the three men left, Shen Xin directly told Zhu Houzhao about what happened between him and Yunluo.

After hearing this, the smile on Zhu Houzhao's face disappeared immediately.

His first reaction was shame.

One Concubine Wan is not enough, we also need to add Yunluo, right?

But then, Zhu Houzhao suppressed his anger, looked at Shen Xin, and asked, "Does Yunluo really like you?"

"Do you think I need to force her to do anything?" Shen Xin asked instead of answering.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Shen Xin and had to say that Shen Xin's reason was very powerful and quite credible.

Not to mention Yunluo, Zhu Houzhao felt that if he were a woman, he would probably fall in love with Shen Xin too.

"Since Yunluo is willing, I agree to your relationship."

"I accept you as my brother-in-law!"

Chapter 308: Heart-beating Shen Jiarong

Zhu Houzhao's answer did not surprise Shen Xin.

There were only two possible outcomes of his visit to see Zhu Houzhao this time.

Zhu Houzhao could either turn against him directly, or accept what happened between him and Yunluo and accept a brother-in-law who was at the celestial level.

It is actually not difficult to choose between these two results. Not to mention that Zhu Houzhao is the king of a country and is quite scheming. Even ordinary people, after getting over the initial anger, would choose to suppress their emotions and accept reality.

After Zhu Houzhao accepted Shen Xin as his brother-in-law, he officially got into the role.

As for the matter between Shen Xin and Wan Zhen'er, and the fact that he had unknowingly slapped himself in the face, Zhu Houzhao had completely forgotten about it.

"Yunluo is a princess of a country after all. It is a bit unreasonable for her to be with you now without any status or position. In my opinion, why don't you get married as soon as possible?"

Since I have acknowledged Shen Xin as my brother-in-law, I naturally have to maximize his value.

What happened between him and Yunluo could not be hidden from anyone who was interested.

Sooner or later, Zhu Wusi, whom he regarded as a serious threat, would know.

But if the name is not right, the words will not flow smoothly, and how can Yunluo, who has no name or status and follows Shen Xin, compare to Yunluo, who is married to Shen Xin in a formal ceremony.

Also, Zhu Houzhao was also considering Yunluo.

There are many women around Shen Xin. Now Shen Xin is young, and Yunluo is also young. They can talk about feelings without talking about status.

But beauty fades and feelings fade.

At this time, the role of status becomes prominent.

However, Shen Xin was not interested in Zhu Houzhao's proposal. Even though Yunluo was a princess, there was nothing special about her in his eyes.

Moreover, it is hard to say about feelings, but beauty will not necessarily grow old.

Shen Xin shook his head slightly and rejected Zhu Houzhao's proposal: "Let's discuss this matter later."

"In that case, it's up to you." Zhu Houzhao did not force it.

He has no capital to force anything in front of the Shen family!

What's more, there is the Queen Mother. Even if Shen Xin disagrees, he still has to give the Queen Mother some time to accept it.

……

After finishing his business, Shen Xin did not stay in the palace for long.

After leaving the palace, he did not return home, but came to Ling Lingfa's home.

At this time, Ling Lingfa was still in the clinic and had not returned.

In his house, only Shen Jiarong and a maid were left.

As for the other maid, Shen Jiarong sent her to buy groceries.

The door of Ling Ling Fa Jia was open. Shen Xin did not knock but walked in directly. When he came to the yard, he saw Shen Jiarong sitting in the hall, obviously distracted.

Shen Xin has been pursuing Shen Jiarong for a few days, and during these few days, he has made Shen Jiarong very excited.

All it takes is breaking through the last layer of window paper to achieve good things.

And this layer of window paper was broken last night!

After witnessing the competition between Shen Xin and Ximen Chuxue, Shen Jiarong was completely conquered.

"Ahem.~"

Shen Xin stood outside the hall and coughed twice, bringing the distracted Shen Jiarong back to reality.

Shen Jiarong saw Shen Xin standing outside, her eyes were full of disbelief, then she stood up pretending to be calm: "Mr. Shen, why are you here?"

"I came to see if Ah Fa has come back yet?"

"Are you here to see Afa?" Shen Jiarong felt a little empty in her heart. Even though Shen Xin had flirted with her more than once before, she knew very well that Shen Xin was interested in her, but at this moment, Shen Jiarong was inevitably affected.

He didn't come to find himself, but to find Afa.

Shen Jiarong became a little depressed and lowered her head silently.

Suddenly, a breeze blew in front of me, and with the breeze came a faint fragrance.

Just as Shen Jiarong was about to look up, Shen Xin, who had already come in front of her, stretched out his fingers and hooked Shen Jiarong's smooth and white chin.

Shen Xin didn't use almost any effort to make Shen Jiarong look up at him.

Their eyes met, and at this moment, no words could describe the feelings in each other's eyes.

Looking at Shen Jiarong's seductive lips, Shen Xin didn't hesitate and kissed them directly.

Shen Jiarong was hesitant to accept, but in the end, reason prevailed.

"No, not in there."

A pair of bare hands gently pressed against Shen Xin's chest, but there was almost no strength in their hands.

"Don't worry, no one will find out." Shen Xin said softly.

There was indeed a maid in the room, but after Shen Xin came on stage, he used the Heart Sutra to make the maid fall asleep.

As for the other maid, she was covered by divine consciousness, so even if she came back, she wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.

But Shen Jiarong is not just worried about this.
