Chapter 405: You haven’t gotten married yet?
"What do you mean?" the emperor asked Xiao Yu.
"Your Majesty, people have different personalities, and monsters have different habits. As long as a person doesn't want to hurt monsters and a monster doesn't want to eat people, they can coexist peacefully." Xiao Yu said.
"But the tribes are different. The interests of the human race and the demon race are in conflict. The human race wants to stay away from the demon race, while the demon race hopes to rely on the power of the human race to expand its own power. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, there should be no exchange of interests."
"Especially when our dynasty is facing internal and external troubles, we must not have any of these things, otherwise it will become a huge hidden danger that we will always carry with us."
The emperor sighed and said, "I understand your point, but the northern barbarians are ready to make a move. A normal fight would be fine, but there are rumors that they are collaborating with the demon tribe, making them unstoppable. Our army is composed of mortals, and without a heroic physiognomist like Fourth Brother, how can we defeat them?"
Everyone could hear that there was something else behind the emperor's words. It was obvious that he wanted to win Xiao Yu over to the army to fight the enemy together.
Xu Chuchu sighed lightly. As expected, it was impossible to calm down.
The greater one's ability, the greater the responsibility he must bear - will this sentence accompany them throughout their lives?
But then Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there is an Imperial Observatory in our court?"
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory was established for not only the most basic functions of observing celestial phenomena and measuring solar terms, but also, of course, the responsibility of clearing out demons for the imperial court and maintaining peace on the land of the Xia Dynasty. If we don't use them now, when will we?"
Good guy, he used a lot of tricks to clear himself of all the blame and put all the blame on Jiji's Imperial Observatory.
But this is not his shirking of responsibility. This is the responsibility of the Imperial Observatory.
Xu Chuchu looked at Xiao Yu and saw him winking at her twice quietly, and she immediately reacted.
He didn't want her to be involved in these disputes.
She's been through too much and needs a break.
My heart felt warm for a moment.
...However, there were three black lines on the emperor's forehead.
"The Imperial Observatory only has a handful of people right now, and they're not even that powerful. How can they resist the monsters from the barbarian tribes?"
Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Instead of dividing the city and cooperating with the demon tribe, Your Majesty should use this money to recruit some physiognomists to join the Imperial Observatory. Back then, that great Grand Master was able to manage the Imperial Observatory brilliantly, but most of the people below were stealing and cheating."
"Lord Chen Zhe is honest and upright, which has led to his financial difficulties. Your Majesty, please allocate more resources to the Imperial Observatory. The more outstanding physiognomists they recruit, the more self-sufficient they will be."
At this point, he added seriously, "In the management of the Imperial Observatory, this minister and I... well, Miss Xu will also fully assist Master Shen Zhe."
The emperor became more and more unhappy as he listened to the people asking for money and people.
He felt relieved after hearing the last sentence. He believed that as long as the two of them didn't give up, everything could still be saved.
"Well, it would be good if you could give Shen Zhe more advice. It would be even better if you could take on a few more disciples." The emperor sighed, "Look, you are all so outstanding. Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't pass on your skills?"
It will not be wasted, they have already been given eternal life.
Of course, Xiao Yu would not refute the emperor at this time.
"Come to think of it," the emperor stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Why do you still call her 'Miss Xu'? Could it be that you two haven't gotten married yet?"
Ah, the fearless Xiao Yu suddenly felt embarrassed.
They were married, but not married either. They were husband and wife in reality, but not in name. How could one answer this question?
If you are married, how can you have another wedding later?
"Oh, look at you two!" The emperor understood Xiao Yu's hesitation and slapped his thigh. "Today is an auspicious day. How about I arrange a marriage for you?"
Now it was Xiao Yu's turn to be upset. The emperor was trying to win them over, showing goodwill and arranging marriages for them, without even considering whether they wanted to...
The emperor's arranged marriages are a glorious thing, but do they need the glory? It's just a bunch of trouble.
"Chuchu." Xiao Yu suddenly turned towards Xu Chuchu, "Are you willing?"
Xu Chuchu was hiding behind and watching the fun, and that stinky Xiao Yu actually kicked the ball to her!
I glared at him angrily, but saw him smiling and mouthing "You decide" to me.
What he meant was that she decided that he would clean up the mess for her.
It's up to her whether she wants to or not.
If you think about it carefully, Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu have always gotten along like this—
When the two people make the same decision, listen to Xiao Yu.
When the two people's decisions disagree, listen to Xu Chuchu.
Xu Chuchu stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. We have prepared a simple wedding so as not to waste royal resources."
Women really are the ones making the decisions!
Except for Master Jiji and Daju, the onlookers couldn't help but look down on Xiao Yu. He was so capable, yet he was henpecked!
Little did he know that when Xiao Yu heard the word "get married", his tail was already up in the sky.
Who cares what others think.
"Well, it's not a big deal. I don't need you to arrange a marriage." The emperor was determined to show his favor to them. "If you don't want to bother with it, the palace built a villa in the west of Beijing a few years ago. It's surrounded by mountains and water, and no one has lived there. Why don't you get married there?"
After saying that, he added miserably, "I won't bother you either."
Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu looked at each other, suppressing their laughter and saying, "Then we respectfully obey your command. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Not even a polite invitation.
The emperor sighed throughout his life.
No matter what kind of emperor he becomes, he also wants to be a handsome fortune teller!
…
Everyone went back home.
Jiji wanted to talk more with her senior sister who had just returned, but was pitifully called away by the emperor for questioning.
It’s true that it’s not easy to get the salary.
Xiao Yu followed Ji Ji. With him, an old fox in the court, around, who would dare to plot against Ji Ji again?
Xu Chuchu was led by the palace servants to the Jingxi Villa that the emperor mentioned.
She really wanted to go this time, thinking that the palace servant would give her the key and she could go by herself later.
But the palace maids insisted on taking her with them, saying they wanted to introduce her properly.
If she doesn't want to go now, we can go together when she is free.
Having said that, Xu Chuchu agreed.
They took a carriage to the so-called Jingxi Villa with mountains and water. After entering, Xu Chuchu was slightly surprised.
She actually had no knowledge of ancient architecture, so when she heard the word "separate courtyard", she thought of a courtyard like Xiao Yu's mansion, thinking that this place might be more spacious and grand.
I didn't expect that the structure here is completely different from the houses in Beijing.
As you enter the door, you will see a large embroidered screen. As you walk past the screen, you will be greeted by the sound of flowing water and the fragrance of green grass.
After entering, she found that there were no neat houses and yards as she had expected, but several small paths of varying heights.
Some lead to the pavilion, some lead to the depths of the flower path, and some lead to the depths of the shade of the trees.
Following the sound of flowing water, I found a small stone arch bridge. There was clear flowing water under the arch bridge, and some fallen leaves and flower petals were floating on the water.
There are tables and chairs on the open space and several rooms in the woods.
Its luxury can be seen from a distance.
This is so beautiful——
