Don’t Show the Son

  Chapter 21 The Palace Calls

  After listening to Zhu Jin’s words, Xia Huang nodded slightly and said: “He is not afraid of power and has a good heart. This son is indeed different from other powerful children in the capital.”

  Zhu Jin also said with emotion: “It’s no wonder that the Zhao family is willing to fulfill the marriage contract that year, and some of the children from other families in the capital are really outrageous...”

Emperor Xia just smiled and said: "You really think that the Zhao family will marry the proud daughter of heaven to him only because of his good temperament. He is telling me that the Zhao family will not participate in the power struggle of the royal capital. Some people are already powerful enough. If you marry Zhao Jialuanfeng again, hehe, I am afraid that even I will be afraid of..."

  ……

  Lin Mansion, in the room, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin are practicing.

  The way that Zhao Lingyin helped him practice was to let him endure the torture of the extreme cold. Lin Xiu was only wearing a shirt, her body was cold, her eyebrows and hair were covered with frost.

  There is a force in his body that is fighting the cold outside, and in this long-lasting confrontation, the force in Lin Xiu's body is gradually increasing at an extremely slow speed.

  Today, not long after the two of them practiced, there was a knock on the door outside.

  When they are practicing in the room, they will not be disturbed unless something urgent happens.

  Lin Xiu quickly got dressed, opened the door, and found Uncle Pingan and his wife standing at the door, and in the courtyard in front of the door, there were three figures standing.

All three of them were white and needless. The robes on their bodies looked like official uniforms, and they were different from official uniforms. A man standing in front said with a sharp voice: "Lin Xiu, son of Uncle Ping An, your majesty is summoned, immediately Follow me into the palace without error."

  Lin Xiu was taken aback, and asked, "Your Majesty summoned me, what do your Majesty summon me!"

  The **** said indifferently: "We don't know about that. You should go with us quickly. Be careful if you miss the hour, you will sin."

  Lin Xiu was confused and followed the three eunuchs. Uncle Pingan and his wife looked worried. Zhao Lingyin seemed to understand something, and comforted them: “Don’t worry, uncle and auntie, there will be no major issues for Lin Xiu entering the palace.”

  When Lin Xiu stepped into the palace gate, he faintly guessed the purpose of Emperor Daxia calling him into the palace.

  As the son of a third-class uncle, how could a small clerk of Qing Lisi be in the eyes of the emperor? For the emperor, his only value was his ability to make ice.

  He heard from the Dean of the Alien Art Academy that in the entire Daxia King Capital, there were only two people with the Ice Alien Art.

  One is Lingyin and the other is Lin Xiu.

  The reason why the heavenly alien arts are the heavenly ranks is not only because of their powerful ability, but also because their probability of awakening is too low. People who awaken the heavenly alien arts and have the talent for cultivation at the same time are even rarer.

As for why you don’t invite the more powerful Lingyin, but instead invite him who has just awakened his ability, it’s not surprising. The majestic daughter, the genius of the Tianziyuan of the Alien Magic Academy, if you are invited into the imperial palace to do this. Things, I am afraid that the news that Emperor Daxia did not respect talents will soon spread.

  Lin Xiu is different. He is just an unknown junior in the capital. The strong man said that he caught him.

  Lin Xiu guessed right. He had just entered the palace, and a supervisor told him that the ice store in the palace was empty and he needed to use his ability to make ice for the palace.

  This matter, Lin Xiu cannot refuse, and cannot refuse.

  As soon as he came, this was called by the emperor himself, and he should not be allowed to refuse.

  Secondly, to some extent, this is Lin Xiu’s obligation.

  After all, he is a student of the School of Alien Art, and the students of the Academy of Alien Art have another identity, that is, special talents recruited by the court. As long as the court needs them, they need to serve the court at any time.

  These people are cultivated by the imperial court, enjoying the resources of the Aliens Academy, and the high salary of ten taels of silver per month, and they should assume this obligation.

  Since it is a conscript, there is naturally no compensation.

  Thinking that he has spent hundreds of taels of silver every minute, doing things for the palace for free, and losing real money, Lin Xiu couldn't help sighing when he thought of this.

  The Supervisor frowned and asked: "Why, do you not want to do things for the palace?"

  Lin Xiu shook her head, and said, "My father-in-law has misunderstood, but my ability has just awakened, and my vitality is low. I will exhaust my vitality soon after I use my ability. I'm afraid I won't be able to control much ice..."

The **** glanced at him and said, "Of course you don't need to worry about this. Come with me. After a while, I will enter the harem. Give me a little bit of cleverness. Don't look at what you shouldn't, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, if you commit a crime. Don’t blame me for not reminding you in advance.”

  The Daxia court had twenty-four divisions, each with its own responsibilities, and the palace also had twenty divisions, in charge of everything in the palace.

  In the imperial city, the front palace is the yamen of various ministries and the third courtyard of the royal capital, and the middle palace is the place where the emperor and ministers discuss matters. Therefore, the positions of the twenty-four divisions are all in the harem, and are controlled by the palace magistrates and eunuchs.

That’s why the oversight matter just reminded Lin Xiu to tell him not to look and ask along the way. After all, the people living in this harem are not the emperor’s concubines or the princesses who have not left the pavilion. Even if he takes a second look at these people It's all rude.

  Lin Xiu followed several eunuchs, walked through several extremely long palace corridors, and finally entered the legendary harem.

  The harem, the middle palace, and the front palace are two worlds.

All kinds of flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the palace road. It is early in the morning, and the sun has not yet risen. There are many young and beautiful palace maids taking care of the flowers and plants by the roadside. A few colorful battles pass by Lin Xiu and the three When the **** was standing by the side of the road and saluting, Lin Xiu gave a few unobtrusive glances. Those sitting on the colorful battlefield were all beautiful women with the fragrance of heaven and country. To be precise, they were all kinds of young women, and some were born. They are beautiful, some are pure, and each is unique.

  Lin Xiu has never seen the emperor and does not understand his character, but there is no doubt that this person has a very good vision, and his aesthetics are not much better than that of Lin Xiu.

  Compared with the young girls, these are the real women.

  The **** beside him reminded Lin Xiu in a low voice, “I’ve said it all, don’t look around, be careful to bring disaster to yourself.”

  Lin Xiu immediately lowered her head when she heard the words, and watched her nose and nose, and no longer looked at her in confusion.

  After all, this is the era of feudal emperor supremacy, and the harem is a place of right and wrong. He is a small third-class son, and it is better to be careful in everything.

   Soon, Lin Xiu was taken to a palace by three eunuchs.

On the gate of the palace is hung a plaque of “Shang Bing Division”. Shang Bing Division is one of the twenty-four divisions of the harem. Its main responsibility is to store ice in the ice storage in winter. When the summer is hot, it will be provided to the palaces to cool off. .

After entering the Shang Bing Division, Chief Li explained his intentions. The **** in charge of Shang Bing Division looked sad and said, "What can I do? I don’t know why. The water coming up from our company’s well these days is very turbid, how can I use it? Come and make ice for the ladies..."

  Manager Li frowned and walked to the well to hit a bucket of water. He saw that the water in the well was so turbid that he couldn’t drink it at all.

  He thought for a while, and said: "I'll report to your Majesty, you are waiting here."

  Manager Li left Shang Bingsi, walked in after a while, and said to Lin Xiu, "Follow me."

  Because there was a problem with Shangbing’s well water, the emperor temporarily ordered Lin Xiu to go to the palaces of the concubines to make ice according to the grade of the concubine.

  This can avoid competition between palaces and maintain order in the harem.

  Taking ice-making tools from Shang Bingsi, Lin Xiu followed them and was soon taken to a palace yard.

  In front of the tall palace gate, a plaque of "Yongning Palace" is hung.

  This palace is much more magnificent. Before walking in, Manager Li reminded again: “This is the residence of the Queen’s Empress. Don’t make noise or wait and see after you enter. After making the ice, leave quickly.”

  Lin Xiu walked into this palace and saw several palace ladies and eunuchs busy in the courtyard. He was taken to the well in the corner of the palace. The **** had already filled the water and waited here.

  Ice-making in the imperial palace is made by Shangbing's mold. This mold is square and can make one side of ice at a time.

  The harem is not the Moon Tower. Lin Xiu cannot directly stick her hands on the water to make ice, but can only stick it on the outside of the mold.

  In this way, the speed of ice making would be much slower, and the energy consumption would be greater. Lin Xiu couldn't help it. Even if his hands were clean, the eunuchs around him would not allow it.

  I don’t know how many concubines the emperor has. If this continues, Lin Xiu’s vitality must be squeezed out by these concubines today.

  　 is about to get on the plane, update earlier.
