Nangong Yiyu glared at Fu Xiaoguan. This kid is so ungrateful after getting the advantage!
"In your heart, is Princess Taiping really that unbearable?"
Fu Xiaoguan retracted his gaze and said seriously, "What you said, Zuo Xiang, is not right. I admit that my poetry and prose are not bad, but I never think that a man's talent is reflected in poetry and prose! To be honest, I have been advising my students that poetry and prose can cultivate sentiment, but for governing a country, or to put it simply, for one's future life, it is meaningless! There are scholars who starve to death in the world, but there are absolutely no craftsmen who starve to death. Why is that? Because poetry and prose are not a means of making a living. So I am very grateful to Miss Ling'er for her favor, but I still have to say... this is just an illusion. Apart from the gorgeous appearance of poetry and prose, I am actually nothing!"
He leaned forward and said to Nangong Yiyu, "Lord Zuo Xiang, in order to avoid ruining the princess's life, why don't you go and persuade His Majesty Emperor Wen to withdraw his decree and find a reliable husband for the princess?"
These words were not only sincere, but also well-reasoned. Nangong Yiyu looked at Fu Xiaoguan deeply and admired this boy even more - he was not too ambitious and could understand the importance of right and wrong, which was good!
After hearing this, Wu Linger fell into deep thought. She was no different from Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun. Ever since she read the book A Dream of Red Mansions, she had developed a strong interest in the author Fu Xiaoguan.
Because of this curiosity, she wanted to know even more what kind of person Fu Xiaoguan was.
So, she found Liu Yan'er from Shili Pinghu and asked Liu Yan'er to go to Jinling.
Then she got a lot of news about Fu Xiaoguan, and then she found herself falling in love with Fu Xiaoguan.
After meeting Fu Xiaoguan, especially after Fu Xiaoguan wrote the poem "No Desire, Leisurely Living with Pear Blossoms", she became more and more certain that she liked Fu Xiaoguan.
Because the mood when facing Fu Xiaoguan is completely different from that when facing senior brother Zhuo Donglai.
For example, she couldn't sleep last night because she could see Fu Xiaoguan today. She was looking forward to seeing Fu Xiaoguan.
For example, she put on light makeup early this morning because she understood that women should dress up to please themselves.
For example, she took her maid to Xinglinji to buy breakfast for the first time so that she could share it with Fu Xiaoguan.
Zhuo Donglai had never had such thoughts before.
Now after hearing what Fu Xiaoguan said, she thought calmly, was she in love with him because of the aura around him?
If he didn't have that halo, would I still like him?
Wu Linger couldn't figure it out, and her eyes became more and more confused.
Nangong Yiyu stood up. "I was originally unhappy with your Majesty's decree, but after hearing what you said, I think your Majesty's decision is still reliable. Of course, I will persuade your Majesty again, using what you just said. As for your Majesty's decision... Princess Taiping is your Majesty's daughter, so she certainly has more power than me. Okay, goodbye!"
"Farewell, Left Prime Minister!"
Fu Xiaoguan stood up and saluted. Nangong Yiyu waved his hand and took a few steps, but suddenly turned around - the Saker Falcon did not fly over!
Su Su was plucking a tail feather from the Saker Falcon. She thought the feather was very beautiful and wanted to pluck one off and put it on her head, but she saw Nangong Yiyu running towards her tremblingly, "Girl, you can't do that!"
Su Su was startled. "Is this your bird?"
"Exactly."
"Oh..." Su Su felt a little regretful. If she had known, she would have pulled it out faster. "You can take it."
Nangong Yiyu stretched out his hand and grabbed Hai Dongqing in his hand, "What's your name, young lady?"
"My name is Susu."
Nangong Yiyu nodded, remembered Susu's name, turned and left.
Fu Xiaoguan then gave Wu Linger an apologetic smile. "Everything I said just now came from my heart. You can't judge a person by their appearance alone. Many people in the world have dirty souls hidden under their beautiful appearance. Appearance can be disguised, but the soul requires a long time to get along with. If your highness is willing, please be my sister, okay?"
“…”
Wu Linger didn't say anything. She lit the tea stove and boiled another pot of tea. The four of them drank tea in endless silence.
Fan Tianning and others had already left when the sea of clouds ended. They did not come to say hello to Fu Xiaoguan - Fan Tianning felt that there was no need to interfere with Fu Xiaoguan's interactions with those beautiful women, while Yan Hanyu and Tuoba Yuan were unwilling to flatter Fu Xiaoguan.
Guanyuntai fell into silence.
Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun were not in a position to comment on this matter, after all, they had not yet officially gotten married.
However, Su Su ate snacks and candied fruits calmly, thinking that it was okay for Wu Ling'er to be Fu Xiaoguan's sister, but she must not become his woman again!
She played that song not for any other reason but simply to let Wu Linger know that, at least in playing the piano, you, Wu Linger, are not as good as me.
This is what a girl feels, a little absurd, but she can’t give in!
After a long time, Wu Linger spoke.
"I'm in a state of confusion right now. I don't know what to think, but I know I like you. I roughly understand what you mean. I don't hold any grudges against you, but I do feel a little lost. How about this? I'll think about it carefully when I get back. Also... if the Emperor's will can't be changed, then you marry me. If the Emperor's will can be changed, then I'll be your sister. Okay?"
What else can we do?
Fu Xiaoguan didn't nod. He said, "This is the biggest thing you've ever faced in your life. I hope you can think calmly. You need to consider many issues, such as culture, living habits, interpersonal relationships, etc. The Wu Dynasty and the Yu Dynasty are different. You have your own friends and family in Guanyun City, but if you go to Jinling, you will have nothing. Moreover... I am not living in peace in the Yu Dynasty. You may even encounter unpredictable dangers. All these are problems. It's not as simple as playing house. You need to remember this!"
Wu Linger remembered Fu Xiaoguan's words. The group left Guanyuntai and said goodbye at the gate of the Yu Dynasty Embassy. Wu Linger returned to the palace, and Fu Xiaoguan and others walked into the embassy.
He Zixiu came over, bowed to Fu Xiaoguan, pointed to a young man sitting in the sunlight in the courtyard, and whispered in Fu Xiaoguan's ear:
"Zhuo Donglai, grandson of Zhuo Yixing, the Right Prime Minister of the Wu Dynasty, and son of Zhuo Bieli, the Grand Marshal of the Wu Dynasty, has been waiting here for half an hour. He said... he must see you."
Fu Xiaoguan looked at the back of the figure, who was sitting straight!
He frowned. Why did Zhuo Donglai, the leader of the Seven Sons of Lanxi, come here?
