Chapter 325 The Young Princess Keeps Her Promise
Gu Jian and Madam Gu also followed out. Just as they were about to salute, Xie Xun raised his hand and said, "No thanks."
"Tangdou, this kid, isn't he your Xie Xun brothers? Why don't you recognize him? He's your sister Mumu's fiancé."
Tangdou tilted his head and looked at Xie Xun. Actually, it was normal that he didn't recognize him. It had been a year and a half since Xie Xun left here. He couldn't even speak at that time, so how could he have such a long memory.
"Sister Mumu is so young and already looking for a husband?" Tangdou pouted. "My mother said that if I studied hard, she would let me marry a beautiful wife like Sister Mumu!"
"You little brat, what are you thinking about?" Old Master Qin laughed. "Xie Xun, why did you come back just now?"
Xie Xun was slightly startled, then guessed that the Gu family must not have revealed their identities.
The guard beside him was about to scold him, but was rebuked by his eyes.
"Grandpa Qin, I was delayed because of something in the capital."
"I told you, you love Mumu the most. Are you trying to make a good career for her? You have to work hard and follow the generals of the Gu family. Our Mumu is a princess. If you don't work hard, you are not worthy of her."
Li Mumu blushed shyly, "Grandpa Qin, those were all childhood events. They don't count."
Li Mumu felt a little regretful that she didn't tell them that the person in front of them was the current emperor.
If they knew, they would be afraid and nervous, but they would not say these words.
"Why doesn't it count? Mumu, this... Xie Xun is a good person. You wouldn't dislike him..." Old Master Qin closed his mouth and looked at Xie Xun with regret.
Xie Xun actually took the opportunity to complain, "Grandpa Qin, Mumu is now a high and mighty princess, her status is extraordinary. I...even if I prevented disaster for her, it's all in the past. She said it doesn't count, then..."
"No, no, General Gu, although Mumu is better now, there is still a long way to go. If in the future... then you have to believe what the fortune teller says."
Gu Jian looked at Xie Xun, then at the little girl who was glaring at Xie Xun, "Village Chief, I can't make the decision on the children's affairs."
"Twilight..."
"Grandpa Village Chief, you've been deceived by him. You know he..."
Before she could say anything, Xie Xun covered her mouth and took her into the yard.
"Twilight, it's rare for everyone to be happy. If you tell them who I am, they'll all be very uncomfortable, huh?"
Li Mumu glared at him, "Then what nonsense did you just say?"
"You were the one who said it first?" Xie Xun pinched her cheek. "I admit my mistake. I'll make it up to you when I get back."
"Who asked you to compensate?" Li Mumu looked at him. "You know, that was a lie I told to protect you."
"But I never took it as a lie." Xie Xun looked at her steadily, "I always took it seriously, and now I'm here to fulfill my promise."
"I……"
Xie Xun made a silent gesture, "Don't rush to refuse. What you're worried about won't happen."
"But I never thought of marrying you. To be exact, I never thought of getting married. I'm still young..."
"You are young, but you will grow up eventually. If you haven't thought about it yet, then start thinking about it now." Xie Xun said seriously, "You know the story between him and the Empress Dowager, but I promise you, I will not let anything like that happen. Nothing will happen to the Gu family forever. If you don't believe me, I will give up the throne right now."
Li Mumu shook his head. He had been a very good emperor over the past year, and the people had initially worried that the young emperor would have no say in anything.
But in the past year he has done a lot of useful things for the people, because he also comes from the people and knows more about their sufferings.
He reduced a lot of taxes. Perhaps because the defeat of North Vietnam had frightened other countries, they did not dare to launch another attack.
Although Li Mumu did not return to Beijing, she kept hearing news about him.
Not only did he employ people from the Gu and Bai families, he also gave high positions to those who had been capable. He was never stingy with rewards, but he also punished those who made mistakes severely.
As for Dongyao's royal family, none of his uncles had his ability and courage.
No one else can take on this important task except him.
"What else are you worried about? Just tell me." Xie Xun said seriously, "The reason I came to you at this time is, firstly, to let you live the life you like, and secondly, for General Gu and Prime Minister Bai. If I don't make some achievements, how can I be worthy of them? Now I'm doing well, proving that their vision is not wrong. If you don't like it, I will stay here with you."
"Forget it, then I'll become Dongyao's eternal sinner." Li Mumu said, "Grandpa Bai has returned to Shangjing?"
Mr. Bai only lived here for a few months, and then he said he was going to travel around the world. There has been no news from him for a long time.
"Not yet, but it will be soon. If I don't become the emperor, he will have to return to the capital."
Li Mumu glared at him. "Nonsense! Grandpa Bai and my grandfather have put so much effort into making you the emperor. Now you just say you don't want to be the emperor. What will happen to the people of this world? Are you going to let those incompetent guys take over?"
"So you agree?" Xie Xun curled his lips. "In fact, everyone in the capital, and even the whole world, knows that I am the young princess's adopted husband. It would be bad if you deny it, right? I'm afraid it would ruin General Gu's reputation."
"Don't threaten me."
Xie Xun smiled faintly, "I wouldn't dare threaten you, Mumu. Why don't we just do this for now? You might as well see if I will become what you worry about."
"I... am still really young."
"Then I'll wait for you to grow up slowly." Xie Xun took her hand, "Wait for you to like me slowly, wait for you to be willing to marry me slowly."
Li Mumu cleared her throat. Is her life decided like this?
"Xie Xun, maybe things will change."
"Won't."
"Xie Xun, I might fall in love with someone else."
"Won't."
"Xie Xun, I don't necessarily have to get married."
"I don't necessarily have to marry. If I do, it must be you. If the little princess wants to change her mind, then I will go and ask for an explanation."
"With whom?" Li Mumu asked again.
Xie Xun curled his lips. "With your grandfather, your mother, your uncle, Grandpa Qin, and the world, how could the little princess fall in love with someone else? I protected you from disasters and evil spirits, but now that you're better, you want to abandon your husband. How can that be justified?"
Outside the yard, Old Master Qin was still speaking for Xie Xun.
He was an upright man and advised Mr. Gu to think deeply. "I think this guy is good, but don't let Mumu do anything she will regret. Status is nothing. What matters most is that he truly loves her."
identity?
Who else has a higher status than him?
Mr. Gu smiled and said, "I think this guy is good too."
After he said this, Mr. Qin finally had a clue in his mind.
