Finest Servant

Chapter 325 Princess Nishang

The room was filled with laughter, but Lin Wanrong's heart was filled with a chill. Being the only sober one in a room full of drunken people was indeed an uncomfortable feeling. He broke into a forced grin, which appeared more bitter than a cry.

The palace lady looked at Lin Wanrong with surprise, and gave him a gentle smile.

"Mr. Xu, I must ask a favor of you. Please plead on my behalf to the Emperor," Lin Wanrong beseeched Xu Wei, sighing, "I am not against spreading civilization to all corners of the world. I only hope that as they enjoy the fruits of civilization, they do not forget who dug the wells for them. We must sign this document; otherwise, we'll be mocked by future generations."

Lin San looked more solemn than ever before. Given his nature, asking for help was akin to a wild tale. Xu Wei did not know the circumstances, but judging from Lin San's demeanor, he had a gut feeling that Lin San was right. He nodded and said, "Lin San, you can rest assured. I support you. It's just a matter of signing a document, it won't be much trouble."

Xu Wei respectfully said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Lin San's concerns are not unfounded. It's akin to signing a document when borrowing something. This time, Goryeo wants to take away the essence of our great Chinese civilization, which is the crystallization of our ancestors' hard work. It's not excessive to ask them to attest to its origin."

Lin San's words alone would have been a laughing stock, but Xu Wei's support made a world of difference. The Emperor contemplated for a moment and said, "Prince Yi, we will grant you what you wish to borrow. However, you must sign the document as Lin San just mentioned. Are you willing?"

Prince Yi consulted with the Palace Lady Seo, who didn't raise any objections, and nodded in agreement. Thus, a unique agreement to borrow civilization was born.

Lin Wanrong heaved a sigh of relief. ‘I've done all I could. If future generations still claim that the Dragon Boat Festival originated from them, I would be truly helpless.’
