So Uncultured

After all, when people here saw the emperor, they would just kneel down and greet him.

Lin Yi had learned such manners from a TV series, and no one here had seen it before.

This piqued the young emperor's interest, and she looked at Lin Yi.

"What? Long live me?"

When Lin Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the young emperor's voice, he didn't wait for her command and got up with a smile.

"Well, I see that Your Majesty is busy with the affairs of the empire day and night. This is a blessing for all the people in our empire.

"With a wise ruler like Your Majesty around, how could your sovereign not last for generations? How could Dayou not last for generations?

"That's why I couldn't help but sing praises."

However, while the young emperor listened to the fellow's words with a smile, she heard something else in her mind.

"Gosh, flattery can never go wrong. I'll sleep with your wife later, so I don't mind praising you first.

"But to be honest, don't take memorials too seriously. You can't count on them for everything.

"The best way to govern the entire Dayou is to set up a department that can carry out secret inspections.

"Otherwise, you'll get to hear what your subordinates tell you and will never see the real situation.

"If the emperor's order can't reach the grassroots, I'm afraid you'll lose all control over the empire."

The young emperor had been smiling when she heard Lin Yi's greeting, but her expression grew solemn as she listened to what Lin Yi was thinking.

"The emperor's order can't reach the grassroots. Very well said. That's exactly my current situation.

"Not only is Dayou surrounded by enemies, but there are also various factions inside Dayou.

"The one with the least power is none other than me, the emperor.

"Although this guy doesn't understand the current situation, he can actually see through it. I didn't know that.

"It seemed that this guy was not bragging when he thought about those things before."

However, the young emperor was very displeased when she heard that Lin Yi was still thinking about sleeping with the empress.

"Little Lin, did you gain anything from the etiquette room?"

Because she was unhappy, the young emperor interrupted Lin Yi's flattery and asked directly.

Lin Yi couldn't help but look bitter when he heard this. "For Your Majesty, I'm willing to be a hard-working cow. I'll do my best to 'plow' Your Majesty's land!"

As soon as he said this, the young emperor's face immediately turned red. She slammed the table angrily, instantly scaring the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids.

"How dare you! Little Lin, I heard that you were lazy in that etiquette room. Even the miscellaneous chores in the courtyard were done for you by someone else!"

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

His identity was too sensitive. Together with what happened the night before, it would be strange if the young emperor didn't have people monitor him.

However, although he knew, he couldn't let it show.

Hence, he immediately looked surprised and explained in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, please understand. There are many miscellaneous things in this ceremonial room. If I handle everything, it'll definitely affect my energy.

"If I don't have enough energy, I'm afraid it'll affect my duty at night."

The young emperor was already used to it. She could just ignore Lin Yi's words and listen to his thoughts.

As expected, after Lin Yi finished speaking, he started complaining in his head.

These words were really not suitable to be written down.

All in all, just by looking at the young emperor's pretty face, which was scarlet red, one could guess what the content was.

Of course, although his thoughts were inappropriate for children, overall, there was nothing too out of line.

If there were really any rebellious words, no matter how much the young emperor indulged Lin Yi, she would have to get rid of him.

It was no exaggeration to say that if Lin Yi had any intention of assassinating the young emperor, the young emperor would definitely take care of him first.

"Fine, there's no need to quibble anymore. I'll tell you now. Learn from Master Situ from now on and don't play tricks.

"Get over here and prepare the ink for me. The rest of you can leave."

She used that to change the topic.

The young emperor was very good at leading the conversation.

When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately bowed and slowly backed out of the room.

Lin Yi was left alone as he walked up to the young emperor, feeling a little embarrassed.

In any case, he had slept for the entire afternoon and wasn't sleepy now. He could stay here and banter with the little emperor for a while.

After all, she was a rare beauty.

Needless to say, the young emperor heard everything that went on in his mind.

If she hadn't wanted to take the opportunity to get some answers from this fake eunuch, the young emperor would have long flown into a rage.

Lin Yi had no idea that he was dancing on the edge of a knife.

Hearing those ridiculous words in her mind, the young emperor could only try her best to lead the conversation and divert Lin Yi's train of thought.

After everyone left, the young emperor threw a bamboo tube to Lin Yi and said,

"Take a look. This is the result of the investigation on the Seven Star Grass pastry. Tell me your opinion."

Lin Yi caught the bamboo tube and opened it. The things inside fell out.

However, he was dumbfounded when he opened it.

Damn it. About half of these words were unfamiliar to him!

That's right, most of these words were in the traditional style.

Although he had specialized in calligraphy in university and could write beautifully, these traditional characters were very different from what he knew.

Or rather, the current dynasty wasn't the dynasty he knew from history, so the written language was a little different.

Seeing Lin Yi frown and hearing his thoughts, the young emperor wasn't angry this time. On the contrary, she was amused.

However, she didn't let it show. Instead, she pretended not to know and asked deliberately,

"Why? Is there anything wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Lin Yi's expression became even more bitter. He wanted to pretend and say that he was fine, but he felt really uneducated. There were a lot of characters that he couldn't recognize.

However, as a man, he had a lot of ego. He naturally couldn't show his fear in front of the young emperor.

Hence, he immediately feigned a frown and pretended to think. At the same time, he began to read the words he knew while trying to see if he could connect them to the words he didn't know.

Seeing him read and guess in his head, the young emperor actually couldn't help but laugh.
