If he weren’t calm enough, he would’ve died of anger on the spot.
And what was cute about this little brat! He had never seen a girl who could swim so effortlessly among the women of the harem!
Lin Mo held Consort De’s hand with her left hand, wrapped her right arm around Consort Li’s shoulder, and happily told the emperor, “Your Majesty, Your Highnesses are all so wonderful. You’re truly blessed.”
Xuande Emperor: …Why does that sound so wrong?
I know my consorts are lovely, but could you please let go of my beloved consorts first? Can your hands behave!
Inside his sleeve, Bai Xiao gave a long sigh: 【What is this emperor thinking? He actually let her into the harem. How is this different from letting a mouse into a rice jar?】
【Your Majesty, show some backbone! If you don’t, your consorts are going to be abducted!】
【Still touching! Haven’t you touched my hand enough? You two-timing little brat!】
Xuande Emperor: What do you mean I should show backbone—can’t YOU be more assertive?!
If he had known she would behave like a mouse in a rice jar the moment she entered, he would never have allowed her in.
And this little system—big and tall but completely unable to control anything—was utterly useless.
Bai Xiao’s jealous grumbling made everyone laugh. Lin Mo casually comforted him: 【Be generous. I’m just close to the consorts. This is how girls interact.】
【Girls can hold hands, even go to the restroom together—what’s wrong with that?】
Lunch was also at the empress’s palace. Lin Mo didn’t have to lift a finger—she simply opened her mouth and the consorts fed her personally.
Sitting beside the empress, the emperor’s eyes were practically shooting flames. “Look at her! Why don’t I just let her be the emperor instead!”
The empress calmly ate and replied, “Be magnanimous. It’s not like they can really do anything.”
Then she even picked up a drumstick for Lin Mo, smiling gently: “Eat more. Think of this as your own home—don’t be shy.”
Xuande Emperor: …You people are unbelievable!
The emperor felt so sullen during this meal that even Eunuch Li couldn’t bear watching.
In a low voice, Eunuch Li whispered, “Your Majesty… perhaps we should leave first and return after Lord Xiao Lin departs.”
The emperor snorted and declared righteously, “Why should I leave? I am the emperor! The empress is my wife, the consorts are my women! I am their husband! Why should I leave! If someone must leave, it is her!“
Just endure until the afternoon. Once this little hellion leaves, everything will be fine.
Eunuch Li sighed. Why torture yourself like this? Besides, she was just a young girl admiring beauties—she wouldn’t do anything excessive.
And wasn’t it you who happily let her enter earlier?
The rest of the time felt like years to the emperor. Just after lunch, the crown prince and the second and third princes inexplicably arrived.
Seeing Lin Mo swimming among the beauties of the harem, then looking at their father’s blackened expression, the three princes bit their lips and silently stood to the side.
They exchanged looks.
Crown Prince: We seem to have come at a great time!
Second Prince: Exactly! I’ve never seen Father so utterly defeated. Mother and the consorts really adore Lord Xiao Lin.
The Third Prince stared at his mother in disbelief: My mother has never treated me like that! She actually hugged Lin Mo! She even fed her!
When he was young and refused to eat, his mother slapped him first, made him cry, then shoved food into his open crying mouth—almost choking him each time. After that, he learned to obediently eat whatever was given.
Unfair! Mother is so unfair!
The three princes looked at the emperor. The emperor shook his head helplessly.
Xuande Emperor: Find a way to get this little demon out of here!
The crown prince pretended not to see and looked up at the sky. It was rare to witness such a spectacle—why ruin it?
The second prince looked at the floor. The tiles looked especially nice today.
The third prince stared blankly at his father. Why was Father glaring at him? He hadn’t done anything recently. He sent Father a questioning look.
Xuande Emperor: …
Three sons—two clever ones who watched the show, and one clueless one who didn’t understand anything. Infuriating!
At last, afternoon arrived. Bai Xiao reminded her, 【Mo Mo, you’ve had enough fun. Time to go home. Your father and brother are already at the palace gate.】
Finally! She almost forgot to return.
Lin Mo sighed in disappointment and told everyone, “It’s getting late. I should go now. Your Highnesses, until next time.”
The empress replied, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll give you this token. You may freely enter and leave the harem. If you’re free, come visit us. We’re quite bored here.”
Freely enter and leave the harem?!
The emperor stared at his wife. The empress gave him a light, dismissive glance.
Lin Mo happily pocketed the token and left with a mountain of gifts.
She had come with many items, but now she left with even more—including two live chickens.
Seeing Lin Mo’s back disappearing, the smiles slowly faded from everyone’s faces.
“Ah, Lord Xiao Lin is truly a treasure. I hope she visits again tomorrow.”
Xuande Emperor, expressionless: “Aren’t you supposed to be doing business? If she comes every day, how will you earn money?”
“This little demon has plenty of chaos to cause outside too.”
What a day!
A miserable day!
An extremely miserable day!
Minister Lin and Lin Qi had personally come to pick her up. Seeing her carrying bundles and bundles of things with a eunuch behind her holding two live chickens, both father and son were speechless.
What happened? Why so many things? And why two live chickens?
Before they could ask, Lin Mo explained, “Father, Brother, these were all gifts from the consorts. They really like me!”
Bai Xiao huffed: 【Of course they do. Food fed to you, one consort on the left, another on the right; another serving you drinks; another telling you stories. Even the emperor doesn’t live this well.】
Lin family father and son: !!!
Wait—
You directly hijacked the emperor’s harem?!
Lin Mo protested: 【This is called personal charm!】
Bai Xiao: 【Yes yes, I’ve never seen a girl so popular with women. The emperor sitting beside you was practically smoking from anger.】
