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 courtier’s 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 wasn’t for the reward, how could the two of them enter the palace to meet the emperor today?

“Princess 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?” 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: “Benwang’s wangfei left the capital privately, whose life was hurt? Whose profit was hurt?”

Before the Emperor could open his mouth, he replied, “Since it didn’t hurt anyone’s life or harm the interests of the country, even if it’s a fault, it’s a small fault. On the contrary, benwang’s 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, shouldn’t the Emperor reward her?”

“Xiao Wangfei left the capital without edict is against the rules, is it just a small mistake?” The Emperor sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

When the Empress exposed Lin Chujiu’s private departure from the capital before, he was already dissatisfied. Now that Xiao Tianyao mentioned it himself again, then don’t blame him for being rude.

“When did the Emperor issue an order that benwang’s wangfei is not allowed to leave the capital?” 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 Tianyao’s current status, if he insists that he has no intention, and no laws and regulations, the emperor can’t do anything to him.

The eyes of the Emperor became colder and colder. He didn’t answer the question: “When did the imperial family members can leave the capital freely?” Lin Chujiu was a princess, and without the Emperor’s will, neither the prince nor his family members can leave the capital, but… …

“There is no Lin Chujiu’s name in the Imperial genealogy!” 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 Chujiu’s name in the imperial genealogy.

He once thought about whether someone should remind the emperor to write down Lin Chujiu’s name, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

The Eastern Country’s Imperial Genealogy, it doesn’t matter if they don’t remember it.

His Majesty frowned as his face turned ugly. He coughed dryly and said: “This matter was my negligence, cough cough… I will order someone to open the ancestral temple later, and put Xiao Wangfei’s name on it.”

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: “When benwang’s 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?”

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 didn’t hurt anyone.

However, Lin Chujiu’s merit was a great achievement that everyone can see. If the Emperor doesn’t 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 didn’t even spend a penny, and now even the rewards are being withheld.

“Small mistake?” The Emperor sneered, staring at Xiao Tianyao with cold eyes, unsparingly releasing the Emperor’s coercion, trying to force Xiao Tianyao to step back with the emperor’s majesty.

It was not that he doesn’t want to reward Lin Chujiu, but he doesn’t want to reward Lin Chujiu too much. If he wants to reduce the reward, he can only magnify Lin Chujiu’s mistakes and minimize the credit.

“Yes, just a small mistake.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t put on a tough stance, nor did he show weakness, but just as usual, calmly met the emperor’s 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 Tianyao’s 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: “Xiao Wangfei, what reward do you want?”

The Emperor can’t 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, “It’s 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.”

When it came to an end, Lin Chujiu’s voice became smaller and smaller. Of course, she would not forget to put on a tight look and pinch the corners of her clothes.

“Ahem…” 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, this…wasn’t 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 didn’t 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!

But still, he likes it.

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 didn’t 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 didn’t give her much gold and silver, the Emperor couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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: “Xiao Wangfei opened my eyes.”

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 Chujiu’s ability to tell lies with her eyes open was comparable to Xiao Tianyao’s.

“Thank you, your Majesty, for your compliment.” The thick-skinned Lin Chujiu pretended she couldn’t hear the emperor’s meaning. She lowered her head and looked shy.
