Fu Xiaoguan had a very pleasant conversation with Emperor Wen at Guanyuntai, and it seemed that they had met too late.
But in the Zhengyang Palace of the imperial city, Wu Linger was already crying bitterly.
Empress Xiao looked at the pear blossoms blooming outside the window with a serious expression on her face. She was not angry because of Wu Linger's sadness, but because His Majesty had withdrawn the decree, which meant that the previous rumor was very likely to be true!
"Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Xuan Gao, I want to see him."
"I'll go right away!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Linger stopped crying and looked at Empress Xiao with her tearful eyes. She wondered if her mother wanted Eunuch Gao to avenge her?
But that would hurt Fu Xiaoguan, and if Fu Xiaoguan knew about it, wouldn't there be no room for maneuver?
Of course not!
"Mother, this can't be done! I suffered that injustice, but it was just a temporary confusion. After crying for a while, I finally came to terms with it. Since the emperor has rescinded his order, there must be a deeper reason. If you order Eunuch Gao to do something detrimental to Fu Xiaoguan... I'm afraid the emperor will be displeased and it will backfire."
Empress Xiao slowly turned around and smiled at Wu Ling'er, "Your brother has been punished by your father again. He copied the young man from the Wu Dynasty and said that he's furious in the Eastern Palace, so he's afraid of you. Go and persuade him, and tell him... to be quiet these days. If he's still naughty, punish him. As for the fact that your mother sent Eunuch Gao here, it's not to target Fu Xiaoguan, but because your mother wants to ask Eunuch Gao to pay attention to the safety of Guanyun City."
"really?"
"Why did the Queen Mother lie to you?"
…
…
At the end of the Si hour, Fu Xiaoguan bid farewell to Emperor Wen and left Guanyuntai.
This conversation made him even more confused. The kindness Emperor Wen showed to him was too much - Emperor Wen actually invited him to settle in the Wu Dynasty and promised to give him the highest position among the ministers!
This is too dreamy. We are all meeting for the first time, shouldn't we talk about topics like what you like to eat or drink?
However, there is not a single topic like this!
Emperor Wen went straight to the point without any preparation - it felt like walking straight into the bridal chamber without even seeing the bride, blowing out the lights and throwing himself on the bed without even lifting the veil.
Although the process was very pleasant, it made people wonder whether the bride would be unattractive.
Emperor Wen said a lot, and Fu Xiaoguan clearly saw a huge cake, which made him feel as if he was in a dream for a moment, but Emperor Wen's extremely sincere face clearly showed his eager anticipation!
The burning gaze and loving expression made him think that he was just like the illegitimate child described in the opera - this made him very happy!
As an outsider soul, he was happy to add more color to this dull life, and was also happy to hold on to another thigh in this world, so he did not reject Emperor Wen's kindness, he accepted it all, of course, on the premise that he really could not make it in the Yu Dynasty.
If we talk about his feelings for Yu Chao and Wu Chao, of course he has deeper feelings for Yu Chao. After all, he has been in Yu Chao for a year. Whether it is Linjiang or Jinling, he has left too many footprints and spent a lot of his efforts.
Xishan was his base. No matter how big a pie Emperor Wen or Emperor Xuan painted for him, he still clearly understood that Xishan would be his biggest trump card in the future.
Moreover, he prefers the kind of beautiful girls in Jinling. This Guanyun City... is too high.
When he returned to Jinghu Villa, Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan had already arrived home and were basking in the sun in the yard, happily chatting about their morning trip to the Marquis' Mansion.
When Fu Xiaoguan sat beside them, Yu Wenjun looked at him with a smile and said, "My second aunt promised to help us find a good shop in Guanyun City. She said that the most prosperous place in the inner city of Guanyun City is Sajin Street, the most prosperous place in the middle city is Tianshui Lane, and the most prosperous place in the outer city is called Huanhua Street. Second aunt also likes our things. She said that these things are suitable for sale in the inner city. The people living in the inner city are all high-ranking officials. Firstly, they have the ability to spend money, and secondly, they are more likely to accept these things. So Shulan and I decided to open our first shop in the inner city."
Fu Xiaoguan nodded and said, "Just let the two of you handle this matter."
Dong Shulan was more attentive than Yu Wenyun. She glanced at Fu Xiaoguan and said, "The Second Princess asked about you."
"What did she ask me?" Fu Xiaoguan thought it was about his poems and essays again, but he didn't expect Dong Shulan's answer to be different.
"She asked... are there really feelings between you and Wu Ling'er?"
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned and quickly waved his hands, saying, "That's not true. Today at the Juhua Hall in Wu Dynasty, Emperor Wen rescinded the decree. This means Wu Ling'er has no connection to the top scholar of this literary gathering. The decree was wrong in the first place. How could a living person be used as a bargaining chip for reward?"
"Oh..." Dong Shulan looked at him and nodded meaningfully, then continued, "Her Royal Highness the Second Princess also said that if you are free, you can go to the Marquis' Mansion. She has something to discuss with you alone."
This must be about my mother Xu Yunqing again.
Fu Xiaoguan thought about it and nodded in agreement. He also needed to talk to Yu Yu about what happened to his mother back then.
Then Deng Xiu walked in, followed by two embassy officials carrying a box.
"These are essays written by students. They say... these are the homework you assigned them on the way, Your Excellency. I sent them to you for your review."
Fu Xiaoguan became interested. He wanted to see if there were any people among the articles of these one hundred students who could have unique insights into business and the study of things.
So he opened the box and looked at the pictures carefully one by one.
During this time, Chunxiu brought food, and the five disciples of the Taoist temple and Fu Xiaoguan and his two companions had their meal together in the courtyard.
Su Jue originally wanted Fu Xiaoguan to continue practicing his Qinggong, but gave up the idea after reading the box of articles.
I thought that this junior brother was really not a martial artist.
He had already released the crow, and it would take some time for him to receive a reply from his master, but he believed that his master would definitely accept Fu Xiaoguan as his true closed disciple - although this disciple really had no future in martial arts, but for the Taoist academy, this junior brother was extremely important.
The so-called Jianghu, after all, still exists within this continent, and the Daoist Academy is but a small part of it.
The purpose of the Taoist temple is that heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me. It pursues the coexistence of man and the world, so the Taoist temple was born in troubled times.
Since he was going to be born, there had to be someone to respond to the world. All of the master's arrangements revolved around Fu Xiaoguan. Of course, he was attracted by Fu Xiaoguan's extraordinaryness in this secular world.
Fu Xiaoguan put down his bowl and chopsticks and continued to read the articles, when suddenly his eyes lit up!
