When Chen Daolin was still in a daze, the emperor had slowly walked out of the water, stood on the lawn and glanced back at Chen Daolin, and actually smiled: "Little Darling, have you soaked enough?"
"Enough soaking."
"If you've soaked enough, come up."
The emperor beckoned to him and said with a smile: "Fang Cai's lunch was disturbed, and after talking for so long, I suddenly became a little hungry again. ” To Chen Daolin's surprise, the emperor's order still had to eat in this garden A short but thrilling assassination had just taken place here, but as soon as the emperor gave the order, a group of servants immediately rushed in, and in a matter of moments, all the ruins and corpses on the ground were cleaned up, and even the blood stains on the grass were washed away The tables and chairs were reared up, beautiful pure gold cutlery, crystal clear wine glasses Watching the servants finish their work in an orderly manner, everything for lunch had been rearranged in front of them.
The Emperor pointed to the table and smiled, "Sit down, we can continue the conversation I mean, the topic before the assassination." ” Chen Daolin was a little absent-minded, he sat down blankly, and looked at the emperor sitting opposite him.
He looked down at the cutlery in front of him, at the glass that had already been filled Then he looked up and looked at the emperor with a strange look.
"What's the matter" The emperor seemed to smile happily, and his tone was full of amusement: "Do you know that your expression was normal before, but your current expression looks a bit like urgency. ” Regarding this joke, Chen Daolin just reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth.
"Say whatever you want."
The emperor actually picked up the cup in front of him, took a shallow sip, and then put down the glass and looked into Chen Daolin's eyes: "You saved my life just now, so you now have the privilege of speaking in front of me, do you understand little Darling." ” "I don't understand."
Chen Daolin shook his head, looking at the table, tableware, and wine in front of him, he looked at all this: "I really don't understand, Your Majesty, are you still in the mood to dine, well, I mean, here in this place." ” "What's wrong here" The emperor's gaze flickered, and at this moment, the affinity aura on his body seemed to fade away in an instant, replaced by a high-spirited imperial majesty, he did not stare or get angry, but just glanced at it with that majestic gaze.
Then, His Majesty the Emperor smiled lightly.
"This is the Imperial Palace."
His voice was soft, but there was an unmistakable confidence and majesty in his tone: "Every inch of land here belongs to me, to be precise, the land you are standing on now, from here to thousands of miles away, every inch is mine, I can have my lunch anywhere in the world, or do whatever I want, if I want to."
Yes, that's right, there was just an assassination here where the thieves wanted to take my last name, but what is this, I am the emperor" Speaking of this, the Imperial Supreme lowered his chin slightly, looked at Chen Daolin with a kind of overlooking gaze, and said with a meaningful smile: "Little Darling, do you know what the identity of the emperor represents?"
Chen Daolin shook his head.
"It means that I can do whatever I want" The emperor said so in this understated tone.
"As long as I want, I can drink on the execution ground, as long as I want, I can even stand in the most holy church and enjoy steak, this is a place for assassination, so what, this is my land, every inch of grass, since it is mine, why can't I have lunch on my land Those guys, those thieves, they want to kill me, they want to make me restless, they laugh at night, I am the emperor, I am the master of this empire, why should I disturb my life for a poor ant, I want to eat, I want to drink, I drink even if it is in a place where I have just been assassinated, not to mention that an assassin has just died here, even if 10,000 people have just died here, as long as I give an order, I can even make people immediately turn this place into a grand banquet of singing and dancing" The emperor's tone was still so relaxed and plain, but there was a certain magical power contained in it, but Chen Daolin couldn't say a word.
"Emperor" The emperor looked at Chen Daolin's eyes: "It means that as long as I think about it, I can do it" Although the emperor did not raise the volume and decibel of his speech from beginning to end, his tone was so unhurried.
But Chen Daolin can swear that he has never heard of such a thing in his life Such domineering words I can do as long as I want The afternoon sun was good.
Chen Daolin's wet clothes had been changed, he was wearing a soft and dry cotton robe, with green grass under his feet, wine and food on the table, and in front of him sat the most powerful man in the world.
All this made Chen Daolin seem to have a feeling of unreality.
It's as if the previous assassination had never happened.
"Let's move on to you."
The emperor picked up the table knife, gently cut off a piece of roasted golden melon, and after taking a bite, his tone seemed to be very casual: "You still live in Liszt's house" "Yes."
Chen Daolin nodded.
"I suppose this must be very uncomfortable," the Emperor seemed to find amused, "that old gentleman from the Liszt family is not easy to get along with." ” Chen Daolin immediately remembered the chance encounter between himself and the patriarch by the lake in the mansion, and then he nodded: "That old gentleman, how to say it, it's a little weird. ” "I know."
The emperor pursed his lips and smiled, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said in a low voice, "Tell you a secret." ” "Uh" Chen Daolin was stunned.
"I've known that old gentleman since I was ten years old, and I've always hated that guy."
The emperor spread his hand and pouted, "He doesn't like to talk, and when he is at a banquet, he stands in the corner and looks at the crowd with his scary eyes, and I always think he looks like, um" The emperor hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's like in summer, those geckos lying on the wall, motionless, but quietly waiting for hunting. ” Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "It's good that you didn't say that he looked like a poisonous snake hunting for food." ” "Little Darling."
The emperor shook his head: "Patriarch Liszt is an important figure in the empire, as the king of a country, how can the patriarch of a family who has made great contributions to the empire be called a poisonous snake, this is too unseemly." ” "But that's what you think in your heart."
Chen Daolin muttered in a low voice.
But this is just whispering to himself.
The emperor suddenly sighed: "Actually, don't blame this old gentleman too much, I think his current mood must be more depressed than yours."
No one thought that Rodelle's chick would suddenly come to such a hand.
I think the old gentleman must have been annoyed by his daughter.
It's a pity, if an opponent in politics or a shopping mall dares to use means against this old gentleman, he will definitely be counterattacked by his thunder.
But this trick came from his only daughter, this old gentleman, who was actually quite pitiful. ” wretched I'm even more pitiful, okay?
Chen Daolin secretly cried out.
I'm messing with someone "Your Majesty" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "That thing about Luo Daer is really a rumor, I have never done that kind of thing." ” "I know."
The Emperor smiled lightly.
"You know," Chen Daolin's eyes widened.
The emperor winked at him: "Don't forget, I have um, what do you say, I have a brocade guard." ” As he spoke, the emperor seemed to smile very happily: "According to the information I have received, that Miss Lodel is now under house arrest on a country farm of the Liszt family, and is not allowed to have contact with the outside world, and this eldest lady can only vent her anger on horseback every day.
She rides a horse every day, jumping around, climbing high and low, where she looks like a pregnant person. ” Chen Daolin sighed.
"Then what about you, little Darling, what are you going to do" The emperor put away his smile and looked at Chen Daolin with an interesting look in his eyes: "Are you going to just marry that little girl from Rodelle According to my knowledge, the old gentleman of the Liszt patriarch seems to really have the intention of marrying his daughter to you." ” "No," Chen Daolin shook his head resolutely.
"Why not, she's a real daughter.

With the strong strength and background of the Liszt family, everything in the family will be handed over to her to inherit in the future, if she marries such a woman as a wife" "Anyway, no."
Chen Daolin shook his head: "I don't like it, so no." ” The emperor glanced at Chen Daolin, and actually didn't ask any more, but suddenly changed the topic: "Okay, remember what I told you before, I want you to do something for me." ” Chen Daolin immediately remembered, but before the emperor could say it, there was an incident of the waiter blowing himself up and assassinating.
"Originally, I was confident that I would convince you to do this for me."
The emperor sighed, but his face was a little embarrassed: "Now I'm a little embarrassed."
Because you just saved my life, and now I haven't let you work for me, but I already owe you a big favor, and then, if you refuse my request, I'm embarrassed to force you, what can I do?
” Chen Daolin's heart suddenly became a little nervous.
Listening to the meaning of this emperor's words, it seems that what he is going to do for himself should be very difficult "I don't know what is going on with Your Majesty, you need my service" Chen Daolin looked at the emperor cautiously, and made up his mind in his heart, if things are really difficult to do, he must refuse Anyway, he just saved the emperor's life, because of the situation, he is embarrassed to use the power of the emperor to oppress himself.
The emperor did not immediately answer Chen Daolin's question, but seemed to say something irrelevant: "Little Darling, do you know how I first knew you were such a person?"
"It's because your brocade guard reported that a boy of unknown origin kidnapped Miss Lodell of the Liszt family," Chen Daolin asked.
"Nope."
The emperor shook his head: "I admit, I received a report on that matter.
It is not surprising that in a wealthy family like the Liszt family, the marriage of the family is likely to determine the future distribution of power and the balance of power.
I'll certainly be concerned about these things.
But in fact, I had heard of your name long before I got this report. ” After a pause, the Emperor slowed down his speech: "The first person to mention you in front of me is my little aunt. ” "Du Weiwei, Lord Messiah" Listening to Chen Daolin's words, the emperor suddenly laughed, he looked at Chen Daolin: "Du Weiwei hahaha You must know that the name Du Weiwei is the family name that only the closest people in the tulip family know and use, and she will actually let you call her that. ” Speaking of this, the emperor put away his smile and nodded solemnly: "Yes, the first person to mention your name to me was her."
Chen Daolin was speechless.
"This little aunt of mine went on a long trip and returned to Yanjing from the north and had dinner with me.
She talked to me about that trip and then she naturally mentioned you.
She just said at the time that this time she went out and met someone who was very interesting and surprised her.
You have to understand that such an evaluation, coming out of her mouth, is already an extremely rare compliment Our duchess, who has always been above the top, has never taken anyone seriously.
For example, the goth you know, in her opinion, is a cold wood with a bit of talent in martial arts.
And Panin, in her evaluation, is a self-righteous guy.
Of course, she is the Duke of Tulip, a descendant of the great His Highness Du Wei, and the leader of the strongest and most talented young generation in the Empire, and even I don't know what level of strength she has reached now, so she has the right to be proud.
I've known her for so many years, and I've never seen her have such admiration for anyone, and she talks about walking with you, and you have talked countless times, and every time you will surprise her.
She even told me that, compared to you, those famous scholars in Yanjing are simply old-fashioned and rotten old scholars.
She also told me that your erudition made her a duchess with a family background who was inferior to her. ” Speaking of this, the emperor smiled and looked at Chen Daolin: "You see, even our duchess has commented on you like this, so, naturally, I have a great interest in you."
And this interest, after these things happened to the Liszt family, became more and more intense. ” Chen Daolin was silent.
But there was a strong uneasiness in his heart He was actually so admired by Du Weiwei, the woman, but this kind of respect let the emperor in front of him know.
I don't know what's going on, but he seems to have a feeling of "being targeted" in his heart "I have never seen this little aunt of mine have such admiration for anyone, such undisguised admiration.
Do you know that when I was having dinner with her, she mentioned your name at least twenty times, and even when we mentioned the Empire's only Saint-Rank powerhouse, the Great Swordsman Kao, she didn't even bother to say it a second time.
I've known her for so many years and never met her."
Chen Daolin's heart suddenly began to beat faster, and his uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger Then he heard the Emperor continue.
"I've never seen her look like that in her eyes when she mentions a man."
Well, that doesn't sound like a good thing Chen Daolin's heart trembled fiercely "For a long time, there has been a big problem that has plagued me, and this problem has also made the whole Yanjing pay attention."
The emperor stretched out his hand and said leisurely: "You should know that according to the tradition of the Roland people, especially the nobles, they all attach great importance to the coming-of-age ceremony, and every nobleman will complete his most important stage of life at the coming-of-age ceremony, in addition to officially announcing Chengren, it is to determine his marriage status, the more important the aristocratic family, the more so."
Because for every wealthy family, marriage is no longer just a matter of personal love, but a matter of the interests of the entire family.
This rule, even the royal family can not be an exception, even if you are the emperor, when I was still the crown prince, I decided to get married early.
However, the only one of the nobles in the country who can stand above this rule is the Tulip Family.
The Tulip family has risen above the Empire, and their family no longer needs to rely on marriage to strengthen the family's power.
It can even be said that all the families are looking at them with their eyes, hoping that their family can marry the daughter of the tulip family, or marry their own daughter into the tulip family.
However, for the Tulip family itself, they have never followed such a thing as marriage, from the first Duke of Tulip, His Royal Highness Du Wei, to Du Weiwei's father, the Duke of Tulip of the previous generation.
The people of the Tulip family have always made their own decisions, and others can't help them at all.
This little aunt of mine has long passed the age of fifteen, and Cheng Renli has long passed.
However, her marriage has not been finalized for a long time.
You, me, everyone, know that as the Duke of the Tulip Family, she will always have to get married in the future, always find a man to marry, and must give birth to a bloodline in order to inherit the glorious family of the Tulip Family and continue this great inheritance.
However, there is one thing that makes those who know the inside story, especially me, and several bigwigs of the empire, have trouble sleeping and worrying.

Little Darling, do you know what I'm worried about."
Chen Daolin's face was so ugly and ugly, his face was a little pale, and his voice was astringent: "Her marriage" "Her orientation, to be exact."
The emperor actually said it bluntly without concealing it, which surprised Chen Daolin "This little aunt of mine, since she was a girl, there is evidence that she seems to like women."
Chen Daolin's heart sank The emperor even said to himself that this kind of thing was not a good sign He actually told himself about this kind of secret thing, which means that he is determined to eat himself If you know someone else's secret, you have to be responsible "This is something that worries me a lot, and a lot of people are worried."
The emperor said slowly: "I think, even idiots know that women and women alone can never have children, but the great family of tulips must not be cut off, whether it is for the family itself, or for the entire empire, the glorious and great title of tulips must not be cut off, it must continue to exist, and it will always exist."
In fact, over the years, I have been thinking of various solutions to this matter.
I tried to shove all the young talents of the empire in front of this little aunt of mine.
The last person I had a crush on was Panin.
However, it is a pity that my little aunt did not give a damn at all, did not even bother to say anything about refusal, and completely ignored the matter.
Even if I were the Emperor, I could command any noble family to obey me, but the Tulip family was the exception, and I couldn't force this little aunt of mine to marry anyone.
I am concerned that she is getting older day by day, but she has never shown any interest in any man."
Finally speaking of this, the emperor stopped his words, and looked at Chen Daolin meaningfully, which made Chen Daolin's heart furious "Until, she met you," the Emperor said slowly, "I could hear her admiration and appreciation for you, as well as her curiosity. ” Chen Daolin cried and stammered: "Your Majesty, Duke Tulip, she admires me and is curious about me, so she can't just say that she likes me and loves me, this is too ridiculous." ” "You don't understand."
The emperor smiled: "When a woman has feelings of admiration or admiration for a man, and has a strong curiosity about him, this emotion is only a thin line away from falling in love with someone." ” Chen Daolin's hands began to tremble, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him hard, tilted his neck, poured it down, coughed twice, and his face became more and more ugly: "Your Majesty, you won't let me" "Your Excellency Darling Chen" Emperor Chen's tone suddenly became extremely serious, he slowly stood up, stared at Chen Daolin's eyes condescendingly, he exuded the majesty of an emperor all over him, word by word, and shouted in a deep voice: "For the sake of this country, for the hope of this empire, for the ardent expectation of millions of people, for the sake of the glorious and great name to continue to accompany the empire, for all these noble purposes, are you willing to pursue Duke Tulip":
