It had been ten days since the last time they slept together, and Lin Wan had spent these days eating and drinking in her own room, making up for the loss of more than a month. This time when they made love again, Tuoba Hong's hand on her waist felt even more wonderful, after all, being thin to the point of having only skin on bones was not good. And Lin Wan was no longer a pitiful sight that would fall with just one blow of the wind, her arms and legs were full of strength, so this time both people thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Lin Yuna's skills are not to be underestimated, if she really puts her mind to it and uses all her tricks, even the great Tuoba Hong would have to cry out in admiration. It's just that this body is too young and lacks actual experience, so it's not suitable for such intense pleasure.
This took another hour. Tuoba Hong felt relieved and Lin Wei was very satisfied, thinking that the ancient emperors were all martially trained, and their physical strength was indeed much stronger than that of modern-day pretty boys, this feeling was just great.
Lin Wanxian finished her service and didn't loudly pull the quilt to lie down with Tuoba Hong, but instead softly called out for Chuxue to come in. Tuoba Hong slightly nodded, knowing his status wasn't enough to stay overnight in Longyin Hall, which was good. He liked considerate women.
Tuoba Hong felt that he was very rational when it came to women. For those who had won his heart, he could be more generous and doting, but that was all there was to it.
The first snow brought in the clothes, Lin Yuan arranged them herself and then withdrew to report to the emperor. Emperor Tuoba Hong did not detain her, nor did he say anything else.
On the second day, early in the morning, the eunuch from the Imperial Palace brought an imperial edict to the Mirror Moon Pavilion and conferred the title of Mei Ren on Lin Shi, along with a large box of pearls, agate, and other precious gifts. Lin Yu smiled brightly as she accepted the edict, thinking that this emperor was quite easy to get along with, and that with some effort, one could gain many rewards.
She is now a seventh-grade concubine and has climbed one level, Lin Wei said with joy. Not every concubine will be promoted due to serving the emperor in bed, except for the first time when they will be promoted as usual, afterwards, if they want to be promoted, they need to accumulate experience or have merit by giving birth to a child who is beneficial to the country.
Because of her promotion, Lin Yin had two more palace maids under her name, sent by Zhang Guanshi from the Imperial Court along with the imperial edict. Lin Yin didn't call them into the inner hall either, and ordered Chunxue to arrange for them to do miscellaneous chores, waiting for a day when they might be clever enough to be promoted to serve her.
Then, Lin Wan opened the large box of glittering jewels and rummaged through it. They were all high-quality goods. It seemed that the emperor was quite generous. After being favored, the emperor's rewards were plentiful, and the flattery from below was also plentiful. This food, clothing, and usage were not only worry-free but also extravagant. However... Hmm? There was a strange thing in there, like a lamp.
"Master, this is a crystal incense lamp from the Western Regions' Great Moon Country as tribute. The Emperor has specially bestowed it upon you. This lamp contains precious fragrances from the Western Regions, and when lit at night, it can change into different colors. The fragrance is also extraordinary... Moreover, the Emperor instructed me to convey this message: Please, Lin Lang, do not drop this lamp."
Lin Yan's eyes flashed as she listened, and he actually gave this thing to himself.
Listening to Xiaodezi's words, this is indeed a rare treasure. Although in modern times, there are all sorts of colorful lights and neon lights, but this one is an incense lamp, made from purely natural fragrances that produce color, not to mention how expensive such fragrances would be.
Such a reward is enough to show the degree of satisfaction that Emperor Xiaoming of Northern Wei had with himself. Lin Yan put on an extremely delighted expression, ordered Chunxue to take out a purse and hand it over to Xiao Dezong, laughing: "Please trouble Duke De to report back to the imperial carriage, this gift concubine really likes." As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again: "Concubine will definitely treasure it carefully, absolutely won't let it go to waste like that lamp."
This lamp is a pretty good thing, although I am also the emperor's plaything. Lin Wan felt no resentment in her heart, but rather joy, for the playthings of this world are still graded.
