31: Chapter 31 Uh, ignorance is scary

31 -31 Uh, ignorance is scary

Editor: Henyee Translations

After all, nowadays, when meeting the Emperor, one simply kneels and greets, saying ‘greeting Your Majesty’ and that would be it.

Like Lin Yi learning to pay respects and greetings from TV dramas, this is truly a first in history.

This piqued the young Emperor’s interest, and he looked at Lin Yi somewhat playfully:

“Oh?

Long live?”

Kneeling on the ground, upon hearing the young Emperor’s voice, Lin Yi did not wait for her to allow him to rise, but got up on his own with a grin:

“Hehe, this humble official sees Your Majesty managing state affairs tirelessly day and night, which is a blessing for the thousands of citizens in You Country.

With a wise and holy sovereign like Your Majesty, how could you not live for a thousand autumns?

How could You Country not prosper for a thousand generations?

Thus, this official couldn’t help but blurt out praise.”

However, as the young Emperor listened to this household’s words with a smile, what reverberated in her mind were different words:

[Damn, flattery will get you everywhere, in hopes of assisting you and the Empress with the negotiations later, what’s the harm in praising you a bit first.

Alas, truth be told, reading memorials is one thing, but one must never fully believe them.

The best way to truly govern You Country from top to bottom is to focus on secretive surveillance and inspection departments.

Otherwise, whatever is reported from the bottom, who knows if you could see the real situation.

If it really becomes a scenario where imperial authority doesn’t reach the local level, that would be the situation of you being sidelined.]

Looking at the young Emperor again, her previously cheerful face gradually grew serious upon hearing Lin Yi’s inner thoughts.

What a statement, imperial authority doesn’t reach the local level – isn’t that the case with me now?

Not to mention the enemies surrounding You Country from all sides, within You Country itself, various political factions stand tall.

It could be said that the weakest is indeed my imperial power.

Unexpectedly, this fellow, despite not understanding the current situation, sees things so clearly.

It seems that what this fellow thought before was not just boasting.

However, thinking about how this fellow was just considering helping her negotiate with the Empress, this made the young Emperor very displeased.

“Little Lin, did you learn anything in the etiquette room?”

Out of displeasure, the young Emperor directly interrupted Lin Yi’s flattery and asked openly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s face turned a bit bitter: “For Your Majesty, this official is willing to be the toiling ox, and shall ‘cultivate’ Your Majesty’s land diligently!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the young Emperor instantly blushed and angrily slammed her hand on the table, frightening the eunuchs and Palace Maids around her into shivering.

“How audacious!

Little Lin, I’ve heard that you were lazy and indulged in the etiquette room, even the chores in the yard were done by others?”

To be honest, Lin Yi had already expected the young Emperor to know about this.

His identity was too sensitive, plus last night’s events – it would have been strange if the young Emperor hadn’t instructed someone to monitor him.

Though he knew this in his heart, he couldn’t show it outwardly.

Therefore, he immediately put on a shocked expression and hurriedly explained:

“Your discerning eye sees all, Your Majesty.

There are many miscellaneous tasks in the etiquette room, and if this official takes care of everything, it will certainly affect my energy levels.

If I lose my energy, I’m afraid it will affect my duty at night.”

Nowadays, the young Emperor was already used to ignoring what Lin Yi said and just listened to his inner thoughts.

Sure enough, once Lin Yi finished speaking, the critical voice in his mind started to rise.

And these words are somewhat inappropriate to be written here.

In a nutshell, one could guess by looking at the young Emperor’s face blushing so red that it almost seemed to bleed.

Of course, although what he thought was somewhat not suitable for children, there was nothing too outrageously inappropriate.

Otherwise, if there were truly any words of great treason, no matter how indulgent the young Emperor was, she would have to dispose of him.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Yi showed the slightest intent to assassinate the young Emperor, she would surely deal with him preemptively.

“Enough, no need to argue further.

Hereafter, diligently learn from Eunuch Situ, and do not resort to deceit or slackness.

Come over here and grind ink for me, and let the rest withdraw.”

This statement deftly changed the subject.

One must say, the young Emperor’s ability to control the conversation is quite strong.

Upon hearing this, everyone around bowed and retreated step by step.

Leaving only Lin Yi to sheepishly approach.

After all, he had slept all afternoon, and he wasn’t sleepy now; it was a good time to exchange a few wits with the young Emperor.

After all, she’s a rare beauty.

These thoughts, naturally, were fully heard by the young Emperor without missing a beat.

If it wasn’t for the intention of getting some answers she wanted from the fake eunuch’s mind, the young Emperor would have lost her temper by now.

Only Lin Yi himself was dancing on the edge of a knife without realizing it.

Listening to the ridiculous words in her mind, the young Emperor tried her best to lead the conversation, attempting to deflect this guy’s train of thought.

Only after everyone else had left did the young Emperor throw a bamboo tube to Lin Yi and said:

“Take a look, this is the investigation report on the Seven Star Grass pastry, tell me your thoughts.”

Hastily catching the bamboo tube thrown by the young Emperor and opening it, the contents spilled out.

But upon opening it, Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Damn, I don’t recognize at least half of these characters! freēwēbnovel.com

That’s right, the majority of the characters were in traditional Chinese.

Although he had specialized in calligraphy in college and wrote beautiful thin gold script, these traditional characters were significantly different from what he knew.

Or it could be said that the Dynasty he now found himself in was not the one he had known, hence the difference in writing.

Seeing him frown and hearing his inner turmoil, the young Emperor was not angry this time; rather, she found it somewhat amusing.

However, she didn’t show it outwardly but pretended to be unaware and asked:

“What’s wrong?

Seeing you like that, is there something amiss?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s expression grew even more bitter.

He wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong, but alas, he was truly illiterate with those unrecognized characters.

But as a man, naturally, he couldn’t show weakness in front of the young Emperor.

So he immediately faked a frown and thoughtful appearance and began reading the words he knew, trying to piece together the ones he didn’t.

Seeing him guess in his mind as he read, the young Emperor actually couldn’t help but laugh.
