"Please don't say that."
Xiao Yu was flattered and said, "How could I dare to make you my slave? Strictly speaking, you are my benefactor now!"
In Xiao Yu's eyes, Shen Youyu was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Chu Tianjiao!
What's wrong with courtesans?
She was clearly an innocent woman, pure and untainted by the mud, and also loyal, grateful, virtuous, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with fair skin, beautiful face, graceful figure, and sexy charm... This top courtesan of the capital had so many virtues!
"So, Juro agreed to marry us?"
Murong Xian, being the youngest and possessing an innocent and carefree personality, spoke up and asked.
“Uh… all four ladies are people who value their promises, and I cannot betray your integrity.”
Xiao Yu touched the tip of his nose, looking embarrassed, and said, "So, I have no choice but to marry you all."
Upon hearing this, it was the four women who became shy.
This fool doesn't seem foolish at all; he's even smarter than them!
"Very good……"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Madam Xiao wiped away her tears and, facing her husband's coffin, said in a trembling voice, "The Xiao Royal Mansion is saved! Our Yu'er... will never be bullied again!"
With several daughters-in-law, even though Xiao Yu's intelligence was impaired, no one dared to look down on the Xiao Royal Mansion.
Jin Mulan, the number one female general of the Great Xia Dynasty, has power and prestige in the army that are incomparable to the likes of Chu Tianjiao!
Liu Aoxue's father is not only a Grandmaster, but also the principal of the Great Xia Martial Academy, with three thousand disciples under his command. His strength and status in the capital are comparable to that of a great general!
Murong Xian's father was the current prime minister, entrusted with the care of the late emperor. Even the current emperor had to address Prime Minister Murong Zhong as "Prime Minister Father"!
With these three daughters-in-law backing him up, who would dare to bully Xiao Yu in the future?
As for Shen Youyu, the most famous courtesan in the capital is not for her stunning beauty, but for her chastity and her talent.
Madam Xiao not only did not look down on her, but even admired this noble woman who remained untainted by the mud.
After paying respects to his father and brothers, Xiao Yu returned to his room.
In everyone's eyes, Xiao Yu was still mentally impaired, so no one felt anything was wrong.
Madam Xiao even told Xiao Yu to rest well and not to think too much.
"Everyone has been very kind to me!"
Back in his room, Xiao Yu gently rubbed his sore nose.
Before he transmigrated, he was an orphan and had never experienced such warm family affection.
Madam Xiao made Xiao Yu realize how fortunate it is to have a mother.
"Since we can't go back, we need to think carefully about the future... The vast Xiao Prince's Mansion shouldn't be left to worry about by Mother alone."
"I can't let my four wives down... After all, they don't want to marry a fool. I will prove to everyone that they didn't make the wrong choice."
After speaking, Xiao Yu began to organize Xiao Shilang's memories.
This intellectually impaired young prince is not entirely useless; he possesses extraordinary talent in martial arts.
"Because of intellectual impairment, the mind is free of distractions..."
"Plus, extraordinary talent..."
"This guy is only twenty years old and he has already become a Grandmaster... You know, in the entire capital, there is only one Grandmaster, Liu Jingtao!"
Xiao Yu was shocked.
With such talent and strength, even someone with intellectual disabilities would be eagerly sought after by martial arts academies.
Chu Tianjiao, you really don't know what's good for you. We've been so honest and had such in-depth conversations!
Just as Xiao Yu was in shock, there was a knocking sound at the door.
"who?"
"Jiro, it's me."
A cool but very pleasant voice rang out from outside the door; it was Jin Mulan.
Standing outside the door, Jin Mulan said, "Eunuch Wei has arrived with His Majesty's imperial edict. Please have Shilang receive the edict."
Are you asking me to receive the imperial decree?
Xiao Yu was a little curious. Why would he ask a fool like me to accept an imperial edict?
Walking back into the courtyard, I saw a white-haired eunuch dressed in purple robes standing there, followed by several young eunuchs.
Upon seeing Xiao Yu emerge, Eunuch Wei cleared his throat and said, "The imperial edict has arrived. Xiao Yu, receive the edict."
"Shi Lang, kneel down and receive the imperial decree."
Jin Mulan stood next to Xiao Yu and whispered a reminder.
Looking at the others, they were all looking at him with concern, as if they were afraid that he didn't even know how to kneel down to receive the imperial decree.
"Yu'er, kneel down quickly..."
Madam Xiao, sitting in her wheelchair, called out softly.
They really think they're clueless fools... but when it comes to being good to themselves, it's genuine.
Xiao Yu nodded, knelt on the ground, and said, "Xiao Yu accepts the imperial decree."
"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."
"I have heard that Prince Xiao and his sons and nephews died on the battlefield. The Xiao family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, protecting the country and its people, and their merits are outstanding. I hereby issue this decree to commend the loyalty and virtue of the entire family. I hereby bestow upon them a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land to express my gratitude."
"The title is hereditary and perpetual. I hereby bestow upon Xiao Yu the title of Prince Xiao. I hope that Prince Xiao will continue to uphold loyalty and courage, safeguard my kingdom and the well-being of my people. So be it!"
Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, everyone in the Xiao Prince's Mansion was excited.
Previously, Madam Xiao and the others were very worried that His Majesty would take back the throne of Prince Xiao... How could the mighty Great Xia Dynasty allow a fool to become a king of a different surname?
Now that His Majesty has personally issued an edict to allow Xiao Yu to inherit the throne of King Xiao, that's wonderful!
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu accepted the imperial edict from Eunuch Wei with both hands.
"The entire Xiao Prince's Mansion is filled with loyal and valiant men; this old servant holds them in the highest esteem..."
Eunuch Wei bent down to help Xiao Yu up, then said in a low voice, "His Majesty also sent this old servant with an imperial edict that if Prince Xiao has any problems that he cannot resolve, he can come directly to the palace to find His Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu nodded, thinking to himself, "This emperor is quite good."
After seeing off Eunuch Wei.
The people of Xiao Wangfu surrounded Xiao Yu.
"It's wonderful that His Majesty personally issued the decree..."
"Shi Lang, from this moment on, you are Prince Xiao! That's wonderful! Waaaaah!"
"With Prince Xiao and his consorts around, our Prince Xiao's Mansion will surely achieve its former glory!"
Some of the women in the Xiao family were already crying with emotion.
Five-year-old Xiao Guoguo asked in her childish voice, "Shilang, if you become the Prince of Xiao, will you still buy me candied hawthorns?"
"You have no manners! How dare you call him Shiro?"
Xiao Yu reached out and tapped the little girl's chubby cheek, saying, "When I come back, I'll buy you ten candied hawthorn skewers."
After saying that, Xiao Yu strode outside.
"Yu'er, where are you going?"
"Shiro, where are you going?"
Seeing that Xiao Yu was about to leave, Madam Xiao and the other women quickly asked him what was going on.
"I'm going to find Chu Tianjiao."
Xiao Yu replied.
"you……"
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, and their expressions visibly turned grim.
Previously, Chu Tianjiao was very good at coaxing Xiao Yu, and he was so infatuated with him that Xiao Yu would do whatever Chu Tianjiao asked him to do.
He really can't forget Chu Tianjiao!
Now that His Majesty has bestowed the title of Prince Xiao upon him, does Xiao Yu think he can use that title to win back Chu Tianjiao?
