That's a real laugh!
A smile played on her perfectly thin, crimson lips, and her star-like eyes were also tinged with a hint of amusement.
Xiao Tang was certain that he was genuinely happy.
[That's strange, what did I say that made him fall for me?]
"Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will never abandon you."
"???"
No, that's not what I meant...
“Abandoning a wife who has shared hardship is a despicable act.”
"...Brother, you're cursing me so harshly. If you actually write me a letter of divorce later, won't you be slapped in the face like that?"
She couldn't help but look at him with pity, then shook her head with a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
The villain truly lives up to his reputation as a villain.
His values are much more upright than that scoundrel male protagonist's.
Not long after leaving the Xiao residence, Xiao Tang heard that Xiao Yingying had indeed gotten into trouble.
He went hunting in the mountains with Duke Xiao, but he was shot by an arrow not long after. After being carried down the mountain, he discovered that two groups of people had carried the wrong person.
Xiao Yingying was also forced to have a marital relationship with Lord Yuan.
Lord Yuan held the rank of Grand Commandant, a fourth-grade official in the court. Although he was a military man, he was a tough guy and was not highly regarded in the court.
When Ruyi returned from inquiring about the news, she said to Xiao Tang, "Your Highness, it's true! Lord Yuan went to the Duke's mansion in a grand procession to propose marriage today."
The princess has already made the proposal; she really is a prophet.
How could there be such an accurate divination?
She admired the princess to the point of complete awe.
"That's great."
Xiao Tang blew away the tea foam floating on the cup and took a small sip.
Xiao Yingying made it herself.
Someone who came down from the Divine Calculation Mountain doesn't even know how to break her own destiny; I really don't know where she learned it.
Ruyi's eyes flickered with a strange light as she leaned closer to Xiao Tang. "Your Highness, was the one you told me about last time... really Yan Jiu?"
She was a little conflicted.
Because she didn't really want to accept Yan Jiu.
Xiao Tang clenched his fist and coughed lightly twice: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, don't talk nonsense."
"Our marriage might change."
She patted Ruyi's arm to comfort her.
She was also quite puzzled. Ruyi disliked Yanjiu so much. How bad must Yanjiu be to be disliked to this extent?
The more I think about it, the stranger it seems.
Touching her chin, Xiao Tang glanced at the ledger on the table, sighed, pinched her brow, and opened the ledger.
Resign yourself to your fate and look at the ledger.
If you want to make money and pave the way for the future, then you must look at this ledger.
After flipping through a few pages, Yan Shi arrived.
"Your Highness, the renowned physician Xuan Yi requests an audience."
"Who is it?" Xiao Tang asked without looking up.
Her eyes were fixed on the ledger, so much so that she didn't notice the title of "Master of Mystic Medicine".
Yan Shi, somewhat helpless, explained softly, "It's just..."
"Ah, I know, you mean Mu Gucheng!" Thinking of Mu Gucheng, Xiao Tang finally understood and nodded.
"I'm going to see him."
Inside the reception hall, Mu Gucheng looked somewhat uneasy.
He picked up his teacup repeatedly, then put it down again.
When Xiao Tang arrived, he quickly drank a sip of tea, stood up, and bowed to her.
Xiao Tang hasn't been going to the palace to tell fortunes for the ministers lately.
She was waiting for the system to assign side task lines.
That way you can earn task points faster.
"Master, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat." She gestured for him to sit.
After all, the two lived far apart.
Mu Gucheng's gaze lingered on Xiao Tang's face as he tentatively asked, "It seems that Your Highness truly possesses a talent for mystical arts. I wonder... if I might have the honor of taking Your Highness as my disciple?"
Xiao Tang feigned surprise.
She stared at Mu Gucheng in surprise, though of course she was faking it.
She pursed her lips gently and asked softly, "Why me? Didn't you already take Xiao Rourou as your disciple?"
Could it be that Xiao Rourou instructed her master to do this?
Xiao Rourou is very likely to do this.
If Xiao Tang becomes her disciple, it will be incredibly easy for her to control her in the future.
Xiao Tang smiled coldly, as if she had already seen through the other party's thoughts.
Mu Gucheng was much more nervous than her, and whispered, "I've thought about it carefully too. After all, the mystical arts of our Divine Calculation Mountain still need more people to pass them on."
Who would believe that?
If mystical arts are so easy to learn, why doesn't your Divine Calculation Mountain expand its enrollment?
[This also depends on talent, okay?]
She saw right through that.
Mu Gucheng added, "I also saw that the Princess Consort is exceptionally talented; she's a prodigy in learning mystical arts..."
"Oh no, that's not true. Look at Xiao Yingying, the last person hailed as a genius. Look, she immediately married Grand Commandant Yuan. Isn't that amazing?"
"From what the princess is saying... is she going to reject me?" Mu Gucheng was slightly dazed.
This was the first time in his life he had been rejected.
He is a highly skilled physician and has seen all kinds of storms.
Countless people flocked to his door, begging him to take them as disciples.
Xiao Tang actually...
Xiao Tang suddenly leaned towards him.
The man was so frightened that he shrank back into his chair.
Mu Gucheng didn't know what Xiao Tang was planning, but he spotted the Regent at the door.
His body became even stiffer.
Xiao Tang was just teasing him a bit, but she didn't expect him to be so nervous. He took several steps back and distanced himself from the other person.
"Master, please leave. I will not become your disciple."
"I like to be self-taught."
Mu Gucheng: "..."
What a self-taught genius!
He stood up, brushed the wrinkles off his clothes with his sleeve, and looked displeased.
But upon seeing the man step over the threshold and enter, his displeased expression immediately vanished.
