Special Forces Empress has arrived! Hmm, I love you too!

  "Sorry, I'm not interested?" After saying that, Tang Lin turned around and walked out of the woman's room.

  Inside the beaded curtain, the woman's eyes were dim as she stared at the door, muttering to herself: "Sorry, for the sake of Yu Shu, for the child, I had no choice but to force you into the palace. It's a pity that you have bad luck, with a face like mine, and yet you ran into me?"

  At this time, the middle-aged woman who had been there earlier walked in, hastily closing the door behind her and looking around nervously. She stood before the beaded curtain, slightly bowing at the waist, "Miss?"

  The woman slowly sat down in front of the dresser, "Since this move has already decided the outcome, there's no need to continue." You ordered all plans to be stopped and notified Fu Gongzi?

  A middle-aged woman responded lightly, "Yes?"

  Tang Lin took Lotus and Yueyue out of Fengyuelou, then brought them into Jun Die Xuan, personally bringing the two 18 or 19-year-old girls in front of Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang.

  Seeing her sister return, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang were so excited that they burst into tears.

  Tang Lin went upstairs and returned to the studio. As she walked up the stairs, Feng Die saw her from afar, noticing that she looked tired and worried, and followed her to the studio.

  "Little Tang," Phoenix Butterfly knocked on the door of the studio that hadn't been closed.

  Tang Lin looked over and asked, "Die Wu, is there something?"

  Phoenix Butterfly Dance walked in, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

  Tang Lin sighed and nodded, not hiding the matter in her heart from Feng Die's eyes. "Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang's sister were bought by Hei Fanzi of Fengyuelou to enter the palace as a palace maid. I promised to replace Xiao Zhu's sister to enter the palace, only then did he let go of Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang's sister?"

  Phoenix Butterfly was shocked, "Is such a thing really happening? No wonder Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang looked strange in the morning" Are you really going to replace Xiao Zhu's sister in the palace?

  "I've already signed the documents and even stamped my handprint, so this matter of replacing someone to enter the palace is an ironclad fact now?" Tang Lin's face was filled with a look of despair. "Once I enter the depths of the palace, it's like entering the sea. If I really become a palace maid and get assigned to some irritable concubine, my carefree days will be over."

  "Who's going to take care of Little Fatty's sister?"

  Tang Lin weakly replied, "Don't know? I hastily agreed to the owner of Fengyuelou for the sake of those two girls leaving this place of trouble as soon as possible. Can I find someone to replace Yuèyuè?"

  Fengdie danced and sank into thought for a while, suddenly biting her teeth, "I'll take Xiaopang's sister to the palace?"

  "When the time comes, I'll hear the news," Tang Lin was shocked and couldn't help but scold Feng Die Wu, "Die Wu, you're stupid! You're a young lady with a bright future, how can you enter the palace as a palace maid? Absolutely not! Besides, this substitution matter, I'm not very pessimistic. Next month, I'll participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition and plan to take the opportunity to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to strike off Xiao Zhu's sisters' names from the list. This way, I won't have to substitute for them, and neither will Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang's sister."

  "Isn't it?" Feng Die Wu said anxiously, "The palace is heavily guarded, not to mention the Imperial Household Department that manages the list of palace maids. That's a place where all personnel information is kept, and there must be imperial guards standing watch day and night, with the Imperial Forest Army patrolling non-stop." It's a place where even birds can't fly in, Xiao Tang, don't do anything foolish!"

  Tang Lin said with a hint of frustration, "Can't just waste one's youth serving the imperial concubines and palace maids, can we? Might as well take another risk, how will we know if we don't try?"

  Feng Die shook her head, "Xiao Tang, life is precious? Ah, right, you just mentioned something. You're going to participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition next month?"

  Tang Lin gave her a white eye, "What's so surprising?"

  Fengdie Dance immediately pulled over a stool, sat in front of Tang Lin, and asked seriously: "Why did you go to participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition? Don't you know that the Imperial Guard is even more ruthless than the Imperial Forest Army, it's very cruel, aren't you going to send yourself to death?"

  Tang Lin said: "I must go, I want to check if the palace is really a cloud mountain. If I can find the time tunnel, then I can..." Suddenly, she thought of Yu Sheng Jun.

  "Fengdie Wuren patiently advised: 'Xiao Tang, that's a place for the elderly masters to go, you'd better not get involved. In the end, only a few women can be promoted to the Imperial Guard, it's pointless for you to go. Listen to me, ordinary palace maids are released from the palace at the age of 25, we just need to stay for four or five years and then we can leave? You worry that we will follow a bad master, I think we should be fine... after all, there is also Yu Sheng Jun'"

  Really? Your Majesty?

  He is the Emperor, if he were told about Tang Lin replacing a commoner girl to enter the palace, would he ignore it?

  "Butterfly Dance," Tang Lin countered with more patience, "You're overthinking this. I'm not worried about replacing Little Zhu's sister in the palace? Besides, I've even snuck into the capital of a certain country and caught a traitor without making a sound. As for infiltrating the Imperial Palace, I do have some skills. My participation in the Imperial Guard selection tournament is indeed to gather information. However, as for you replacing Yuet Yuet as a palace maid, I disagree with this plan and forbid you from mentioning it again."

  Seeing Tang Lin's confident appearance, Feng Die didn't say anything more. Although she was still worried about Tang Lin entering the palace in her heart, she could only silently worry.

  ——

  At noon, Yu Shengjun and Fu Yushu returned from outside.

  At the entrance of the wine house, Fengdie saw Yu Shengjun, and after several attempts to speak, she stopped, restrained by Fu Yushu's presence. She couldn't bring up the matter of Tanglin replacing Xiao Zhu's sister in the palace.

  Phoenix butterfly dance turns body into wine building, busy go?

  Fu Yushu saw a middle-aged woman standing not far away, who glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. He understood and told Yu Shengjun to go handle something, then walked away.

  The noble gentleman didn't linger at the entrance, but went straight into the wine building, directly to the second floor, and arrived at the door of the study. The door of the study was not closed, he caught a glimpse of Tang Lin sitting inside in a daze, twirling a ballpoint pen in his hand.

  "Girlfriend?" Yu Sheng Jun called out with a smile on his face, then walked into the workshop.

  Upon hearing his clear call, Tang Lin's gloomy face was suddenly swept away. "Ah? Is it Jia Sheng Jun? You've gone out to make purchases so early in the morning, you must be tired!"

  His Majesty sat down opposite her, leaned forward slightly, and doted on pinching Tang Lin's cheeks, not forgetting to ask: "Have you had lunch?"

  Tang Lin shook her head, "Not yet? Yu Zichen and the others are cooking, it'll be ready soon. Why don't you have lunch at the wine house today, or else you'll just come back and leave again?"

  "Really? Let me hear it from Linlin herself?"

  Tang Lin's ears turned red, this guy, giving nicknames really comes easily to him?

  ——

  A certain dead alley

  A middle-aged woman stood facing Fu Yushu

  The middle-aged woman said: "Fu Gongzi, Tang Lin has already made a written promise to replace the young lady in entering the palace." The young lady said: "All plans can be stopped now. Let me inform you?"

  Fu Yushu let out a sigh of relief, "Is this a good thing? You go back first, I know?"

  "A response came, and the middle-aged woman turned around and walked out of the dead alley."

  Fu Yushu stood still for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the dead alley. When he returned to Jun Die Xuan, he happened to run into Yu Zi Chen who was carrying dishes upstairs.

  "Hey brother, go upstairs for lunch?"

  Fu Yushu smiled slightly and responded with a "Huh?"

  Wu Zi Dun walked up the stairs, at this time, a drunken guest came down from upstairs with a swaying body, stumbling and almost falling.

  The drunk guest walked past Yuzi's side and suddenly fell sideways.

  The young master's dust was unavoidable, and the dishes in his hand were knocked over. He quickly flashed his body, letting the drunkard pounce on nothing, while he himself safely dodged to the other side, saving the dish in his hand from disaster.

  Fu Yushu, who was about to go up the stairs, saw this scene in front of him and his eyes narrowed. He paid attention to Yu Zichen for the first time. "Another person with martial arts skills is mixed in the wine house, using the identity of a wine house staff to hide their true identity?"

  Fu Yushu went upstairs with a question and didn't stop thinking about Yu Zi Chen until he sat down at the corner of the dinner table.

  "This is the first time everyone except Lü Baimeng gathers together for lunch"

  The scene wasn't very dull and lifeless.

  Her Highness saw Han Xueyan eating with such elegance and refinement, and she couldn't help but admire her. From time to time, she would chat with Han Xueyan, because Han Xueyan had returned her money, she no longer held a grudge against her.

  Han Xueyan ate her meal in peace, not paying much attention to Yu Xinrui, but her indifference only piqued Yu Xinrui's intense interest.

  Cao Dan had a special feeling for Yu Xinrui, seeing that Yu Xinrui was staring at Han Xueyan and ignoring him, he angrily pushed away his rice and sulked alone.

  Lao Tu and Niu Wu, the two oldest ones, were chatting about their children's affairs at home.

  Xiao Pang and Xiao Zhu were focused on eating their lunch, they had a very spirited noon meal.

  He stood tall, his expression dazed and distracted, his mind elsewhere. He didn't even notice the taste of his food as he mechanically stirred the rice and dishes in his bowl with his chopsticks, looking utterly listless, as if lost in thought about some girl from a certain household.

  Wu Zicheng and Guan Yunlian, this couple, while eating their meal, didn't forget to discuss the flavor of the dishes.

  Fu Yushu silently ate his meal?

  The noble gentleman sat beside Tang Lin, and the two of them ate with as much concentration as Xiao Zhu and Xiao Pang, without revealing a hint that they were in a romantic relationship.

  The phoenix butterfly danced and ate, but didn't swallow. She glanced at everyone, but more often she was secretly looking at the Holy Lord. She really had a lot to say to him, of course, not about emotional matters. At the same time, she also envied the deep love between Yu Zi Chen and Guan Xiang Yun, having watched them meet, get to know each other, and stay together.

  His Majesty glanced at Han Xueyan unintentionally, and he couldn't help but lean in close to Tang Lin, asking softly: "I heard from Die Wu that you used to like Xue Yan's brother?"

  "Pffft!" Tang Lin was so startled that she spat out a mouthful of rice, scattering it all over the dishes on the table. She turned her head to face Yu Sheng Jun, trying to stifle her laughter, "Y-you just said what?"

  His Majesty looked at everyone, and everyone cast inexplicable gazes at him, staring at him. He really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

  Phoenix butterfly dance, pointed at the table of dishes that Tang Lin had messed up, "Little Tang, look at what you've done!"

  "Tang Lin immediately apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry everyone. It wasn't intentional, just now... I bit my tongue and thought it was a big spider biting my tongue, that's why I spat out the food." She spoke softer and softer because she had already been stared down by two cold glares."

  The dishes were cooked by Yu Zi and her husband, but Tang Lin unexpectedly found a spider in his food. How could the two chefs who had been cooking for them save face?

  "Look at the good deed you've done, can't even the person in charge do this?" Yu Sheng Jun loudly scolded Tang Lin in front of everyone, then dryly laughed and looked at everyone, saying: "You all take a break first, I'll take her down to make another table of dishes." As he spoke, he stood up, grabbed Tang Lin's hand and pulled her away from the chair, "Go, go downstairs and treat everyone to another table of food?"

  Under the gaze of everyone's stunned eyes, Tang Lin was forcibly dragged down from the building by Yu Sheng Jun, while Tang Lin, who could have struggled, willingly let herself be dragged away.

  After an unknown period of time, Lao Tu was the first to come back to his senses and couldn't help but praise Yu Sheng Jun excessively. "It's still the procurement officer who has a temper, and just like that, he stunned the person in charge?"

  Xiao Pang took over and said, "Normally when we're in front of our supervisor, we don't even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that if we say or do something wrong, she'll scold us?"

  Yu Zi Chen and Guan Xiang Yun exchanged a glance, communicating with each other through their eyes. "They never thought that the high-and-mighty Emperor would also have such an uncouth display? Today's sun must be rising from the west?"

  Everyone has different ideas

  The phoenix butterfly danced with a smile, silently replacing Tang Lin's heart. "If she hadn't seen it wrongly, the Emperor also liked Tang Lin, otherwise, how could a dignified emperor sacrifice his usual cold and silent image to 'teach' a civilian woman?"

  Tang Lin thought that if she really entered the palace as a palace maid and served the emperor, how could anything happen to her? Wasn't she just overthinking things?

  ——

  "Come in?" Yu Sheng Jun pulled Tang Lin into the kitchen, then let go of her hand and turned to close the kitchen door tightly.

  He closed the door and turned around, immediately meeting Tang Lin's enlarged eyes. Her eyes sparkled with a mischievous smile.

  Tang Lin's face was very close to his, she closed her eyes, raised her chin and smiled sweetly: "A kiss?" However, after waiting for a while, the lips were still warm, without a hint of coolness.

  When Tang Lin opened her eyes, Yu Sheng Jun was no longer in front of her. She looked back and saw that he was standing at the chopping board with his back to her, holding a knife and about to chop carrots.

  She smiled and walked over, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, then poked her head out to mischievously ask: "Hey? Is my Saint in the kitchen? Can you chop vegetables? Don't force yourself if you can't!"

  His Majesty's mouth corners rose with a warm and gentle curve, his right hand holding a kitchen knife, his left hand holding two carrots. He tossed the carrots into the air, and when they fell to a distance from his head, he raised the knife in his hand, and immediately "whoosh whoosh whoosh", he confidently swung the kitchen knife several times with extreme speed and handsome posture.

  Tang Lin was stunned, her mouth involuntarily agape, "Wow——"

  His Majesty's hand fell, he took the plate, and in an instant, dozens of carrot slices were elegantly arranged in a circle on the plate. He put the plate aside, slightly turned his body, pulled Tang Lin to his front, wrapped his arms around her waist, let her hold the knife, and whispered softly in her ear: "Look at my family's Linlin's knife skills?"

  Tang Lin revealed a determined smile, then arranged several tomatoes on the chopping board. She raised her knife and suddenly brought it down, only to hear the "chop chop chop" sound ringing out four or five times.

  After sheathing the knife, Tang Lin stared at the tomatoes that seemed to have not moved, and suddenly, each tomato split into several cracks, and they all automatically opened into several pieces.

  His Majesty chuckled softly in her ear and praised: "Your girlfriend is really formidable?"

  Tang Lin smiled with satisfaction, "What's that?"

  His Majesty kissed her earlobe without earrings, "Let's get started, or the group of people upstairs will starve to death and chop off your head?" After finishing speaking, he let go of Tang Lin, went over to pick up the spoon, and prepared to stir-fry the dish.

  Tang Lin put the tomato slices into the dish one by one and said, "Can you cook? If not, you can ask your master beside you."

  The Holy Lord smiled, "Is there anything I won't do?"

  "Really?" Tang Lin carried two plates of cut dishes to the edge of the stove and placed them there, so that Yu Sheng Jun could easily pick them up. When she looked at Yu Sheng Jun, her eyes hid a sly expression, "Then... can you read 'I love you'?"

  His Majesty raised an eyebrow and read foolishly, "I love you?"

  Tang Lin smiled and nodded, "Mm, I love you too?" After finishing speaking, she walked back to the chopping board. At this time, her eyes had already been covered with a thin layer of mist, but her eyes were smiling.

  Before long, a table of delicious dishes was placed in front of everyone.

  Looking at the dishes on the table that were full of color, fragrance and flavor, Xiao Pang swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but pick up a piece to eat.

  Yu Zi Chen looked at the dozen or so dishes on the table, secretly furrowing his brow. "If he hadn't seen wrongly, these dishes weren't made by Tang Lin, and they were completely different from Tang Lin's style."

  Could it be...

  Yu Zi's astonished gaze turned to Yu Sheng Jun, who was just picking up some dishes and putting them into Tang Lin's bowl. Seeing her savoring the food with relish, he smiled in satisfaction.

  Yu Zi's brain suddenly rang out, and he immediately understood that his imperial brother liked not Feng Die Wu, but... their leader - Tang Lin.

  ——

  At night after closing up shop, Yu Zi Chen and Guan Xiang Yun brought Feng Die Wu into the workshop, closed the door tightly, and began to interrogate her.

  "What time did it start?"

  Feng Die danced and looked at the two with an inquiring expression, somewhat unable to react. "Wang Ye, Xun Yun, what do you want to ask me? When did it start?"

  Yuzi Chen said: "It's just that His Majesty likes the things Xiao Tang is in charge of." I was puzzled, isn't it you that His Majesty likes?

  The phoenix butterfly danced and smiled, explaining: "You're all wrong, no, we're all wrong. The emperor's favorite isn't me, the reason the emperor is close to me is because of something on my body?"

  "Huh?" Yu Zi Chen furrowed his brow, puzzled and asked: "For the same thing? What thing?"

  Fengdie Dance said: "I picked up a jade pendant at a pavilion outside the city last month, and the emperor said it was his lost one. That day wasn't I accidentally bumped into the emperor, he saw the pendant, so..."

  The young master seemed to understand, "It's just for the jade pendant..."

  Guanyue Yun asked again: "Butterfly Dance, what's going on with that young Tang person in charge and the Emperor...?"

  Feng Die smiled and said, "As you've discovered, they are now in a romantic relationship? Xiao Tang likes the Emperor, and the Emperor also likes Xiao Tang, that's it?"

  The eunuch shook his head and exclaimed, "Indeed, it is a marriage predestined by heaven. No matter how we arrange things, the emperor's preferences will always be unexpected."

  Guan Yun smiled lightly and said, "Zi Chen, I think they're quite a good match." Think about it, have you ever seen the Emperor take a liking to a girl since he was young? Now that he's finally taken a fancy to someone, shouldn't we just quietly offer our congratulations instead?

  The young master sighed and said, "Since Imperial Brother has taken a liking to her, we can only congratulate them even if we don't want to."

  "King Wang, from what you just said, it seems like you don't think highly of the Emperor and Little Tang's relationship. Why is that?"

  "The young master's words became heavy, 'Do you think our leader is a person of our imperial court?'"

  "Guān Huán thought for a moment and analyzed: 'The way they dress, their behavior and demeanor are all very different from ours, aren't they?'"

  "This is the thing," said Yuzi Chen, "If the person in charge is a foreigner, it would be difficult for the emperor to take the person in charge as his empress, unless the person in charge is a member of a foreign royal family. If she is a commoner, can she represent the country and marry into the imperial family to become an empress?"

  Feng Die said, "We are all speaking too early. What we have considered, the Emperor may not necessarily have considered." The Emperor has a mind of his own, if not, he wouldn't have gone this far with Xiao Tang?"

  The young master's heavy heart was slightly relieved, "That's also true, how could the emperor not know what's important? He must have confidence in taking responsibility for his actions, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten together with the person in charge. No matter what their outcome is, we can only wait and see. However... next month the emperor will be returning to the palace to live, I estimate it will be rare for him to come out and meet with the person in charge, afraid that these two people's marriage will be difficult to progress?"

  Feng Die Wu said with a smile: "You don't know, Xiao Tang is going to enter the imperial palace to participate in the selection of inner guards, and I believe she can often see the emperor?"

  "Guān Huán Yún was shocked and said: 'The person in charge is going to participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition? I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Why?'"

  Fengdie said with a puzzled expression, "The specific reason is unclear. Xiao Tang just said she's going to participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition, saying she's going to investigate some things, but I don't know what it's about? Xiao Tang knows martial arts, so she shouldn't be in any trouble?"

  ——

  A bright moon, hanging high in the sky. Soft moonlight shines on the roof of Xijiang Moon Inn.

  The Holy Emperor is bathing in his chamber, with steam swirling around the screen.

  At this moment, Tang Lin was in his room, occupying his desk. She stood in front of the desk, holding a brush, painting on paper, but couldn't draw anything for half a day.

  She had already taken a bath and was wearing a clean navy blue sailor suit.

  After a while, the noble gentleman emerged from the inner room wearing a white undergarment, glanced at Tang Lin, and then went to pour himself a cup of tea. As he poured, he asked: "Has your 'Hundred Flowers Competing in Spring' painting been completed?"

  Tang Lin pouted, staring intently at the painting on the table, and said dejectedly: "Don't mention it, no inspiration to paint landscape paintings, painted for half a day but couldn't get it out, should have known better than to try drawing human figure art?"

  His Majesty picked up his teacup and was slightly stunned, "Human Body Art Map?"

  Suddenly, Tang Lin seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "Ah!" She muttered to herself for a moment before ordering Yu Sheng Jun, "Quick! Take off your clothes!"
