Chapter 791: Shy, Madam Lin gave too little money
Rejecting the emperor was no different from ordinary things if you do it too much.
After Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu refused to accompany the Empress in welcoming the visit of the courtierâs wives, the two also bluntly rejected the order of the emperor and the empress to have a meal, but they bluntly asked the emperor what Lin Chujiu reward.
If it wasnât for the reward, how could the two of them enter the palace to meet the emperor today?
âPrincess Xiao has done meritorious service in treating wounded soldiers, and it is a fault to leave the capital privately. Since there are merits and demerits, what reward does Tianyao want from me?â The Emperor wanted to laugh at Xiao Tianyao.
After rejecting his proposal repeatedly, does he still have the face to ask him for a reward? He was simply too shameless.
Xiao Tianyao slightly raised his dazzling eyes and he glanced at the emperor in surprise. After confirming that the emperor was serious, he said unhurriedly: âBenwangâs wangfei left the capital privately, whose life was hurt? Whose profit was hurt?â
Before the Emperor could open his mouth, he replied, âSince it didnât hurt anyoneâs life or harm the interests of the country, even if itâs a fault, itâs a small fault. On the contrary, benwangâs wangfei saved the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, benefiting the country and the people. This is not a simple meritorious service, but a great merit, shouldnât the Emperor reward her?â
âXiao Wangfei left the capital without edict is against the rules, is it just a small mistake?â The Emperor sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.
When the Empress exposed Lin Chujiuâs private departure from the capital before, he was already dissatisfied. Now that Xiao Tianyao mentioned it himself again, then donât blame him for being rude.
âWhen did the Emperor issue an order that benwangâs wangfei is not allowed to leave the capital?â Xiao Tianyao raised an eyebrow and asked back.
When the general led the troops away, his family members were left behind in the capital. This was a custom, and everyone knows it well. Although the Emperor did not decree that Lin Chujiu was not allowed to leave the capital, anyone with a brain should know that when Xiao Tianyao was leading the army, Lin Chujiu was not allowed to leave the capital.
However, with Xiao Tianyaoâs current status, if he insists that he has no intention, and no laws and regulations, the emperor canât do anything to him.
The eyes of the Emperor became colder and colder. He didnât answer the question: âWhen did the imperial family members can leave the capital freely?â Lin Chujiu was a princess, and without the Emperorâs will, neither the prince nor his family members can leave the capital, but⊠âŠ
âThere is no Lin Chujiuâs name in the Imperial genealogy!â Xiao Tianyao was very clear about this matter. He and Lin Chujiu were not in the capital, no one remembered them, let alone remember to write Lin Chujiuâs name in the imperial genealogy.
He once thought about whether someone should remind the emperor to write down Lin Chujiuâs name, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
The Eastern Countryâs Imperial Genealogy, it doesnât matter if they donât remember it.
His Majesty frowned as his face turned ugly. He coughed dryly and said: âThis matter was my negligence, cough cough⊠I will order someone to open the ancestral temple later, and put Xiao Wangfeiâs name on it.â
The Emperor made a mistake. Whether big or small it was a mistake. Not to mention, not remembering the name was a big deal. But now that the Emperor has admitted his mistake and found a way to subsidize it, there was no need to mention this matter.
Xiao Tianyao did not mention it again, but he did not let the matter go: âWhen benwangâs wangfei left the capital, her name was not recorded in the Imperial Ancestral genealogy. Although she had left the capital at that time, it was only a minor fault. Your Majesty, what do you say? Yes or no?â
Still the same sentence, Xiao Tianyao admitted that Lin Chujiu was wrong, but only admitted that it was a small mistake, even if it was a small mistake, it didnât hurt anyone.
However, Lin Chujiuâs merit was a great achievement that everyone can see. If the Emperor doesnât reward her, Xiao Tianyao will be the first to refuse.
To defend against the Northern Li army, he lost 50,000 soldiers and horses and spent millions of taels of silver. The Emperor didnât even spend a penny, and now even the rewards are being withheld.
âSmall mistake?â The Emperor sneered, staring at Xiao Tianyao with cold eyes, unsparingly releasing the Emperorâs coercion, trying to force Xiao Tianyao to step back with the emperorâs majesty.
It was not that he doesnât want to reward Lin Chujiu, but he doesnât want to reward Lin Chujiu too much. If he wants to reduce the reward, he can only magnify Lin Chujiuâs mistakes and minimize the credit.
âYes, just a small mistake.â Xiao Tianyao didnât put on a tough stance, nor did he show weakness, but just as usual, calmly met the emperorâs sight, neither kissing nor avoiding nor giving in.
Lin Chujiu immediately lowered her head to hide the sarcasm and smile in her eyes.
The Emperor was sending himself to be slapped in the face by Xiao Tianyao.
One power against ten will. No matter how majestic the emperor was, just relying on his dragon army against Xiao Tianyaoâs soldiers and horses outside the capital, he was bound to lower his noble head.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense, the Emperor backed down, and said to Lin Chujiu in a bad tone: âXiao Wangfei, what reward do you want?â
The Emperor canât go against Xiao Tianyao, so he could only throw the problem to Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu knew it would be like this a long time ago, so she opened her mouth and said, âItâs all due to the favor of wangye, but⊠If the emperor is willing, can you reward me with some gold and silver? You know, his majesty, when I got married, the dowry given by my family is rich, but⊠most of it is just clothes, artifacts, and jewelry.â
When it came to an end, Lin Chujiuâs voice became smaller and smaller. Of course, she would not forget to put on a tight look and pinch the corners of her clothes.
âAhemâŠâ Before Lin Chujiu could finish her sentence, Xiao Tianyao coughed, and the Empress also opened her mouth wide, looking at Lin Chujiu as if she was looking at a monster.
Lin Chujiu, thisâŠwasnât this shameful?
Not only she directly opened her mouth and asked the emperor to reward her with gold and silver, but she blackmailed Lin Furen again.
In the matter of marriage, Lin Furen cheated Lin Chujiu, but she didnât treat Lin Chujiu badly in terms of dowry. All four people present were qualified to say that they were short of money, but only Lin Chujiu was not.
Xiao Tianyao knew that Lin Chujiu cheated on Lin Furen with a lot of money before she got married. Lin Chujiu can say that there was not much gold and silver in the dowry without blushing or panting. She was really⊠Shameless!
After coughing twice, Xiao Tianyao pretended to straighten his sleeves to hide the smile on his lips.
Since Xiao Tianyao was able to find out about Lin Chujiu pitting Lin Furen, the Emperor would naturally be able to find out, and the Emperor knew about it, but he didnât take it to heart.
The struggle in the back house was out of his concerns, he just listens to it casually. But now, hearing Lin Chujiu confidently saying that Lin Furen didnât give her much gold and silver, the Emperor couldnât help but think of this. He immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, wanting to reprimand Lin Chujiu for talking nonsense, but thinking of the reason why Lin Chujiu pitted Lin Furen, he couldnât help but be angry. He swallowed back the scolding that reached his mouth.
Lin Furen gave money to Lin Chujiu in private. Lin Chujiu would never admit it, let alone Lin Furen.
The Emperor snorted coldly and said strangely: âXiao Wangfei opened my eyes.â
When Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao came in, the Emperor looked at Lin Chujiu for the first time.
Sure enough, birds with the same feather flock together. Lin Chujiuâs ability to tell lies with her eyes open was comparable to Xiao Tianyaoâs.
âThank you, your Majesty, for your compliment.â The thick-skinned Lin Chujiu pretended she couldnât hear the emperorâs meaning. She lowered her head and looked shy.
