Chapter 279 I Want to Select a Talent
The emperor sat on the magnificent dragon throne, and the memorials in front of him seemed like heavy mountains pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Suddenly, a eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the imperial study: "Marquis Weiwu is here to see you~"

The emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Announce."

Soon there was the sound of brisk footsteps, a step he was very familiar with, like willow branches brushed by the spring breeze, bringing a burst of vitality.

As the door slowly opened, Xiao Jin strode in. The sunlight shone on him through the window lattice, as if covering him with a layer of golden glow.

Xiao Jin's face was filled with a smile that was hard to conceal, and her ink-colored clothes swayed gently in the breeze.

Looking at Xiao Jin who was so high-spirited, the emperor seemed to be suddenly awakened from a dream.

Xiao Jin's eyes fell on the emperor as bright as stars. He smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to be able to melt all the haze.

The emperor stared at him blankly, and the depression and uneasiness in his heart were shattered in that instant.

Instead, there was a long-lost tranquility and warmth. He remembered the scene many years ago when Xiao Jin tried his best to save him.

His smile was like the morning light that dispelled the dark clouds in his heart, and now, his return was undoubtedly the brightest light before dawn.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Xiao Jin's voice was fresh and energetic, making the emperor feel extremely happy.

"I... I'm fine." The emperor could not maintain that condescending attitude in front of Xiao Jin.

However, this true emotion made him feel extremely comfortable. He seemed to be awakened by this kind care and could hardly control himself.

At this moment, he has no time to care about the love between young men and women, he just wants to indulge in the warmth of brotherhood.

"I also think that Your Majesty must be living a good life. No foreign enemy dares to harass us now. The country of Dasheng is peaceful and the people are safe. Everything is thriving." "Cousin, didn't you travel around the world with your wife? Why did you suddenly decide to come back?"

"Hehe, my Wanwan is pregnant, and we want to go back home to give birth to the baby." Xiao Jin looked happy.

"What? My cousin's wife is pregnant?" The expression on the emperor's face seemed to be frozen, and his look of astonishment was clear.

Xiao Jin turned his head and looked at the emperor and smiled, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be surprised. I am so powerful, isn't it only a matter of time before my wife gets pregnant?"

"It's really not surprising. I just think it's amazing that my cousin's wife is pregnant."

There was a voice in the emperor's heart shouting, I want to hold a selection, I want to hold a selection immediately, "Cousin, the ministers are all suggesting that I hold a selection, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. You just need to be happy. There is no need to marry the daughters of ministers in order to consolidate the court."

"..."

The emperor didn't know what to say. He didn't need to marry the daughters of ministers to consolidate the court, but he wanted to have a prince!
"Alas, the ministers probably think that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everything is thriving, so some of them are ready to stir up trouble."

"Your Majesty, do not worry. Even if the country is prosperous, there will always be some corrupt officials. I will find them out tomorrow."

Xiao Jin talked to the emperor about the affairs in the court again, and soon he asked to leave, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

"Cousin, please bring your wife to the palace for the banquet tomorrow." The emperor invited him sincerely, and seeing that Xiao Jin was eager to return home, he didn't want to keep him.

Since my cousin doesn't understand my hint, my cousin's wife should be able to understand it!
Xiao Jin hurried back to the Hou Mansion and saw his wife surrounded by his brothers and sisters, chatting and laughing, without even looking at him.

He walked over and took Wen Qingwan's hand and said, "You little heartless girl, your husband rushed back in a hurry, but you didn't even look at me."
