I’m The Empress and You Asked Me to Run Away?

“A bear?”

“Hahaha!”

“It might as well be called a female orc!”

Zhao Yuehan took a piece of the braised fish and said without scruple.

“Hahaha, Brother Zhao is straightforward.”

Lin Xuan also laughed.

Female orc, didn’t know where Zhao Yuehan learned this incisive vocabulary.

By her comment on the portrait of the legendary empress, Zhao Yuehan can be trusted.

As expected of someone who is the same noble from the previous dynasty like him. The Empress’s position in Zhao Yuehan’s heart is just like this.

After all, all the remaining nobles of the previous Tang dynasty were prohibited from leaving Great Qian Tiandu for three generations, and this rule started from the youngest generation at that time.

The Great Qian court said to the outside world that they treated the nobles of the previous dynasty preferentially, but it was actually equivalent to captivity.

If it were not for the appearance of the legendary Empress, and 26 former noblewomen who became the Empress’s soldiers, there might be no way to lift such a ban.

Just like this moment, Zhao Yuehan relied on the fact that one of her family members was a female soldier among the 80 people, and this was how she had the opportunity to become the official minister of commerce, as well as had the opportunity to occasionally leave Tiandu.

“Her Majesty being drawn like this, was completely the painter’s fault.”

“However, her highness thought that this would make her look more friendly, so that she could let the citizens of Great Qian know that she can protect them, and to get acquiescence.

Li Mu, the old servant who was sitting on the side eating fish, couldn’t bear it anymore and said.

He dared to say that the Empress’s portrait was like a bear with five-layered waists and thick arms?

The old servant Li Mu was shocked and couldn’t believe it. This was a serious crime that could be beheaded!

Especially because Lin Xuan even said it in front of Her Majesty herself, that he was simply asking for his own death. Ignorance is a big sin!

What’s more outrageous is that Her Majesty actually joined in, even saying that the painting is basically like a female orc?

Since Her Majesty has said so, he could only pretend that he didn’t hear anything.

After all, Lin Xuan didn’t know Her Majesty’s identity, but he did.

If Her Majesty wants to silence him, he must be killed.

Out of his instinct to save himself, Li Mu felt it necessary to say something to save himself.

The only hope is that Lin Xuan’s next words could be a little more polite, so it could give people a little way to survive.

“Oh, Old Li, you’ve met Her Majesty before?”

Lin Xuan asked curiously.

Speaking of it, Zhao Yuehan’s family has an elder who is a soldier of the Empress. As an old servant of the Zhao family, Li Mu might have met the legendary Empress.

However, the Great Qian imperial court was worried about all these survivors of the previous dynasty, and basically every family might have arranged spies.

Some of these spies even lurked until they died.

As a game planner who designed the background of this game world, how could he not know this?

If Li Mu was really that kind of spy, he would spread the conversation they had here today. Let alone run away, he might not survive tonight, and he would be a goner.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan was shocked and had the general idea.

“Tch, he’s just an old man who watched me grow up. How could he meet with Her Majesty?”

“I’m a Minister of Commerce, but I have never met Her Majesty, let alone him.”

“I guess it’s my mother or some elder in the family who said it, he just heard it by chance.”

""

Didn’t know it because he had a few sips of wine, but Zhao Yuehan was a little flustered.

“Brother Lin, what do you think about my face?”

“To be honest, if I wear women’s clothes, I will definitely be more beautiful than Her Majesty, absolutely more stunning!”

“Now, if Her Majesty sees me, maybe she will fall in love with a beautiful man like me!”

Ah, I see.

Li Mu who sat beside her couldn’t sit still, he was a little restless.

Li Mu looked at Zhao Yuehan from time to time, winking at him, wanting to remind him in order to save him.

What was more worrying is, will his head be cut off by Her Majesty in a few days after hearing such words.

“What? You don’t believe me?!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t get drunk with this much wine!”

Zhao Yuehan looked a little serious and glanced at the old servant Li Mu.

“My lord, you are right.”

Li Mu didn’t dare to argue, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

He just came along to eat some fish, but it seems like it’s very difficult.

This time, ​​Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Zhao Yuehan disguised as a man, she dared to say that she wanted to marry the empress, but the old servant Li Mu could never be a spy.

The old servant Li Mu is worthy of trust.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this, the fish should be eaten while it is hot, and the vegetables should be eaten first.”

Lin Xuan took out the newly brewed tart fruit wine, which was tart and sweet, with low alcohol content and excellent taste.

Of course, this was also the life skill given by the check-in system. The brewed tart fruit wine is at least top-grade, not to mention it’s a top-quality one.

“Come and taste my new tart fruit wine.”

Of course, both Zhao Yuehan and Li Mu’s eyes lit up when they saw the wine that Lin Xuanxin brought out.

After three rounds of wine and eating the fresh fish dish, Lin Xuan made cups of good black tea for the two people.

Seeing that Zhao Yuehan was really happy, Lin Xuan knew that his opportunity had come.

“Brother Zhao, is the fish delicious?”

“It’s delicious!”

“What about this tart fruit wine?”

“The best in the world!”

“Does this black tea taste good?”

“Light and elegant, it’s outstanding.”

Zhao Yuehan commented one by one, and was very satisfied with today’s feast.

“That’s great, as long as Brother Zhao is satisfied!”

Lin Xuan took out another box of good pastries and fish in another box and put them aside, “Take these back for the Old Madam.”

Zhao Yuehan was drinking the black tea, while the breeze was blowing the willow. He glanced at the two boxes, “Brother Lin, do you need my help? If you have something to say, you may as well just say it. Although I don’t have a high position in the Ministry of Commerce, I have made friends with all ministers, so there is nothing I can’t do in Tiandu.”

The old servant Li Mu who was sitting on the side glanced quietly at Her Majesty, drank his tea slowly, not daring to move or speak.

What Her Majesty says is right, as long as Her Majesty is happy.

It’s fine as long as this Brother Lin doesn’t seek death anymore.

After all, the whole Daqian belongs to Her Majesty, let alone a small task, even if it’s hundreds of thousands, she will help.

Your majesty is sincerely grateful for the sacrifice of 80 women soldiers in the First World War of Shangyu. Therefore, she often comes to Yongle Lane to visit these former aristocrats in disguise.

As long as the request and the wish is not too much, Her Majesty will arrange for someone to fulfill it quietly.

As for Lin Xuan who lives here, they met four months ago.

At that time, Her Majesty visited a family and when she left, she passed by here. She was attracted by the smell of wine and vegetables coming from the yard, and that’s how she came in for a meal.

She can’t help it, the food cooked by Lin Xuan is really delicious, many times better than the cooking by the royal chef in the palace.

Even if Her Majesty asked the royal chef to try many times, not once did they succeed.

Just like that, it became a habit.

As for Lin Xuan’s background, they had already investigated it thoroughly.

Lin Xuan is the great-grandson of an assistant minister of the former Tang Dynasty, and has been under house arrest in Yongle Lane, like other aristocrats of the former dynasty.

In the battle of Shangyu, some elders of the Lin family also died for the Empress in the battle, but he didn’t know it.

According to the original plan, Her Majesty intended to let Lin Xuan come to the palace and become the royal cook.

However, during several conversations after meals, she found that Lin Xuan had amazing insights and ideas almost every time, and since he didn’t know the real identity of Her Majesty, he had always been open and frank.

This was much better than other old remnants of the former dynasty who guessed Her Majesty’s identity at a glance and then put an act to flatter her.

There was no doubt that such a talent is too wasteful to be the royal chef.

Therefore, Her Majesty decided to continue coming here for a meal.

It’s just that Her Majesty felt quite bad for eating too much.

That was why, before coming this time, Her Majesty discussed with him to see what Lin Xuan wanted, and rewarded him directly if it was not too much.

Of course, he hoped that this boy wouldn’t use his words to seek death like he did just before.

Here, Lin Xuan was not at all embarrassed when his intentions were seen through.

Zhao Yuehan’s willingness to help was enough.

Lin Xuan tidied up his clothes, put on a serious face and said, “To be honest, I really have an important thing to ask Brother Zhao for help!”

“Brother Zhao, please run away with me!”

“……”
