Chapter 54 Sincerity
"Thank you for your kindness! This palace maid, your Majesty must choose some good-looking ones for me. Those who are not good-looking will affect my mood, and thus affect my efficiency in refining medicine and practicing."
The First Emperor laughed and said, "Lin Aiqing, you are the first one who dares to pick and choose with me. Forget it, I will just follow you and let you choose by yourself, that's all!"
The First Emperor did not expect these maids to monitor Lin Feng, he counted on the elite guards. Women were of no use, they were just used by him to win over Lin Feng by showing favor.
The First Emperor ordered the eunuch beside him, saying: "Go and check which maids have not been assigned to my concubines. Bring all the pretty ones to this side hall."
The eunuch took the order and left.
After a meal, about fifty beautiful palace ladies were led into the side hall.
These maids had been ordered by the eunuchs and summoned by the emperor. They all knelt down to pay tribute to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor said: "Everyone stand up and raise your heads!"
The maids then stood up and then raised their heads.
However, even when they raised their heads, they were very cautious, not daring to show any unnecessary expressions or look around. As for ogling the First Emperor, or fantasizing about flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix, they didn't even think about it.
"Lin Aiqing, you choose! I can reward you whatever you like."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Rong Chen will ask them first."
Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the maids, "What are your names? Say them in order from front to back."
The maids reported their names one by one, "Chuntao, Dongmei, Xiazhu, Qiuyun, Xiuzhu, Huixin, Huiling, Zizhu, Zhihua... Xiaoyue, Lanxin, Qiaoyun, etc."
Lin Feng picked the three most beautiful ones, Xiaoyue, Zhihua and Lan Xin.
The First Emperor asked: "Wouldn't Lin Aiqing choose a few more?"
Lin Feng said: "No need! Three are enough! Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Let these three wait outside the palace, and let the others disperse."
The eunuch beside the First Emperor led the maids out of the side hall.
After all the maids had gone out, the First Emperor continued: "That's it for today. Fusu stays, Meng Tian, Li Si, Lin Feng, you can also leave."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Meng Tian, Li Si, and Lin Feng left first.
Only the First Emperor and Fusu were left in the side hall. The First Emperor said: "Fusu, Lin Fengwen is comparable to Li Si, and his military skills are comparable to Meng Tian. I believe that I can control him, but you may not be able to do so. After a hundred years, if you want to use him, you will also be able to control him."
Beware of him."
Fusu disagreed and retorted: "Father, my son and ministers treat him sincerely, I believe he will also treat his sons and ministers sincerely."
The First Emperor scolded: "You are stupid, how can you, as a monarch, control your subordinates with all your sincerity? No matter how much you trust him, you must have some restrictions. If you lose control, kill him to avoid future troubles."
Fusu was shocked: "This... I believe he will not let me down."
The First Emperor sighed: "That's all, you've always been this way! Retreat! I will make arrangements for you."
Fusu said: "Father, if he really betrayed his son, it must be because of his son. Please don't kill him."
The First Emperor was very speechless, and his tone was a little serious, "Back off!"
Fusu knew that he could not convince the First Emperor, so he had no choice but to retreat.
The First Emperor didn't know that you can only treat a person like Lin Feng sincerely. The so-called restrictive measures are useless.
It is also a big joke that the First Emperor thought he could control Lin Feng.
On the contrary, people like Fusu are more recognized by Lin Feng.
At the same time, outside the side hall, Li Si said: "General Meng and Master Lin, we rely on you to destroy the Xiongnu. Don't worry, you two, I will not refuse if you need me, Li Si. Let's work together to eliminate the Xiongnu.
."
Meng Tian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Prime Minister!"
Lin Feng also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you are so polite!"
Li Sidao: "That's right! I'll come back to congratulate Master Lin on the day when the Imperial Master's Mansion is completed. Then I'll definitely get drunk with you two."
"good!"
Although Li Si's overtures of kindness were not known to be superficial or genuine, Meng Tian and Lin Feng naturally responded to him cheerfully.
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
"please!"
Just as Li Si left in the carriage, Fusu came out of the side hall.
Meng Tian and Lin Feng stepped forward and said, "Young Master!"
Fusu replied, "Master! Sir!"
Lin Feng said: "I see that the young master is feeling uneasy, but what did His Majesty the Emperor say to the young master?"
How dare Fusu reveal what the First Emperor said just now, so he quickly excused himself: "No! My father just told me to work hard."
When Lin Feng saw Fusu's expression, he knew very well the First Emperor's temper and could guess it.
However, Lin Feng did not expose it and said: "It's okay! Let's get out of the palace first."
Fusu nodded, "I'll take Mr. back home."
Fu Su, Meng Tian and Lin Feng rode in one carriage, and the three palace ladies rode in another carriage.
As for the bow, Lin Feng naturally carried it with him, and the three palace maids could not afford it.
Meng Tian was very curious and said: "Mr. Lin, judging from today's situation, you, His Majesty and the Prime Minister have known each other for a long time. What is going on?"
Lin Feng immediately told Fusu and Meng Tian what happened outside Xianyang City sixteen days ago.
After the two of them listened, they understood.
Meng Tian said: "That's it! Mr. Lin is so young and has such great talent in literature and martial arts. It's really unbelievable. I think Mr. Lai must come from a famous family!"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's right! I come from the Guiguzi lineage!"
Fusu and Mengtian were surprised: "No wonder!"
Meng Tian said: "Sir, your archery skills are amazing. I wonder if you have time to teach me the Meng family's military son?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "My archery skills are no different from yours. It's just that I'm accomplished in practice, have strong arms, accurate eyesight, and quick reactions. I'm not suitable for ordinary soldiers."
Meng Tian was a little disappointed, "That's such a pity!"
Lin Feng said: "Everyone has his own strengths!"
While the three of them were chatting, the carriage arrived at Lin Feng's residence.
Lin Feng got out of the car with Bao Gong and the three palace maids, said goodbye to Meng Tian and Fu Su, and they drove away again.
In the car, Fu Su said: "Master, what the emperor did today was to attach great importance to you and also to monitor you. With your wisdom, you should have seen through it."
Meng Tian said: "Yes! Mr. Lin is a smart man! So he took the initiative to make the request. It not only expressed his inner dissatisfaction, but also appeased His Majesty. Your Majesty is so generous because of this."
Fusu sighed: "Can't we treat each other sincerely?"
Meng Tian said: "You can do it, but Your Majesty can't! Even if you become His Majesty, you can't."
Fusu asked in confusion: "Why?"
