Chapter 61 You Really Want Me to Slap You
Bu Ruo chuckled and said, "I'll be going back the day after tomorrow. You'd better think about how you're going to face your master's wrath when you get back. You, you still want to be Grandpa Du's master? Look at how unlucky you are. It's still unclear whether you can live to see that day."
Thinking that he would have to go back the day after tomorrow, someone suddenly felt that the barbecue in his hand no longer smelled good. He turned his eyes for a long time and finally set his sights on Xiao Yulan.
"Your Majesty, can I discuss something with you?"
"Look, Ruo'er is going to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion in a few days anyway. Can I pack up and move in first? I can just... clean up the house for you and do some odd jobs. You can just give me some monthly salary."
Before Xiao Yulan could speak, Cen Nan spoke up, "Little Divine Doctor Jin should ask the County Lady about this matter. The Prince has already ordered that from the moment the County Lady enters the mansion, all matters and people in the Zhan Palace will be decided by the County Lady."
"So whether you can stay in the Zizhan Palace, whether you can receive your monthly salary, and the specific amount you can receive all depends on the County Master's wishes."
Jin Congcong was stunned and looked at Bu Ruo flatteringly: "Hehe, Ruo'er, you know I don't mean that. I'm just afraid that the old man in the mansion will chase me and beat me up. I don't really want to betray you and join the prince."
"Anyway, you and the prince will be family soon, so it doesn't matter who you follow, right?"
Just as Bu Ruo was about to speak, he heard the emperor say, "Prime Minister Lin, you have raised your daughter very well. I like her very much. I wonder if you are reluctant to marry her to the crown prince and make her my daughter-in-law."
The emperor's words sounded like a negotiation, but the tone of voice was so clear that it could not be refused. But so what? Prime Minister Lin had not intended to refuse in the first place.
"Your Majesty, you're joking. It's my honor to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The emperor laughed heartily with satisfaction: "If that is the case, then I will decree that they be married."
After repeated calculations by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the couple's wedding date was finally set for three months later.
It was true that Lin Rou fell on purpose, but it was also true that she twisted her ankle. At this point, the situation was no longer under her control, and she could only struggle to kneel down and express her gratitude.
Xiao Jingrui had met Lin Rou and had heard of her reputation as the most talented woman in Kyoto. If it weren't for Ji Yao, Lin Rou would indeed be the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.
Bu Ruo poked Xiao Yulan beside her: "The marriage is granted~ The marriage is granted~ Looking at her heartbroken expression, I feel so... relieved."
Lin Rou was helped to her seat by Xiao Jingrui, and she looked absent-minded even when the imperial physician was treating her.
As the crown prince, Xiao Jingrui has been paying attention to King Zhan's every move for so many years. How could he not know who Lin Rou has in her heart?
"No matter what, you will soon become my Crown Princess. As for other matters, I advise you to take care of yourself. Do not challenge my bottom line. Do what a Crown Princess should do. I will not treat you unfairly."
Lin Rou trembled all over when she heard Xiao Jingrui's words. He knew, he really knew.
Come to think of it, although I have kept my visits to the Kyoto villa to visit the King of War secret over the years, how could I escape the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince and the Emperor?
He...was just a pawn after all, a pawn for his father to climb up the social ladder and become a royal relative.
"Yes, Lin Rou knows. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
On the third day of the spring hunt, the emperor rewarded everyone according to the number of hunts they had. Although Bu Ruo was escorted by wild beasts when he came back, he didn't kill any, so he was directly ignored, which made the little girl smile very happily.
Seeing this, Xiao Yulan coaxed softly, "The first prize is a long sword, which is not suitable for Ruoer. But if Ruoer likes it, I have a soft sword that is suitable for Ruoer. I will ask Cen Nan to give it to you when we get back, okay?"
"And the jewelry I gave to the young ladies, any one of the ones I gave you is worth more than all those plates combined."
Seeing that Bu Ruo was in a better mood, Xiao Yulan leaned over and whispered, "This prince is much richer than Ruo'er thinks. He should be... even richer than the emperor, so we are not angry."
Cen Nan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw how his prince coaxed his wife.
Is this still his prince? As the young divine doctor Jin often said...could he be possessed by something?
That evening, Bu Ruo couldn't sit still and insisted that Bi'er push her out for a walk. Just as they were about to go back, Bi'er suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Miss, look, is that the one in front of our tent the Heavenly Master?"
Bu Ruo raised an eyebrow: "It seems so. Let's go. We are already blocked at the door. We can't just turn around and run."
The Taoist priest was still dressed in white, leaning against a big tree at the door with a cynical look on his face.
"Is the Yun'an County Lady feeling better?"
"Master, just speak directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
The Taoist priest probably didn't expect Bu Ruo to be so direct, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue.
"Master, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back first. After all, no matter how old you are, you're still a man. It's not good for a man and a woman to be alone together."
Bi'er could see the Heavenly Master's forehead twitching. Just as she was about to push Bu Ruo back, she heard the Heavenly Master say, "Since the County Master is so straightforward, then this Heavenly Master will speak directly."
"You shouldn't exist in this world. If this Heavenly Master were you, you would return to the mountains to live out the rest of your life, unconcerned with worldly affairs. Otherwise, the Great Zhou will be plunged into dire straits because of you, and you will also be punished by heaven."
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. Bu Ruo looked at the slowly darkening sky with a cold voice.
"Master, what you said... really makes me want to slap you twice."
"You...how dare you speak to this Heavenly Master like that? Do you know who I am? It's a blessing for you that I can give you advice. Don't be ungrateful."
Bu Ruo snorted softly, "Master Tianshi, you didn't fear any heavenly punishment for what you helped that person do back then, so why should I be afraid?"
"If I were to exist again, the Great Zhou would be plunged into dire straits and would be doomed to ruin. Even if that day comes, it won't be caused by me, but by you."
"Although I don't know how you, Tianshi, cultivate, I believe it's definitely not a normal path. After all, what good person would be sixty years old and still look like a monster in his thirties?"
"Hey, hey, hey? Stop staring at me like that. It makes me want to dig your eyes out."
"I don't want to care about how you practice, but I advise you not to have any bad ideas about me. I will definitely take revenge. If you don't accept it, then we will wait and see."
"I don't believe you're truly blind and can't see who has the purple energy and who is the ruler of this Great Zhou and even the world."
