"Huh? What's wrong, Grandpa Huang?"
Old Huang gritted his teeth and said somewhat guiltily, "Actually, well... you could have avoided this."
"It's me... um..."
He explained to Zhiyin that the reason the emperor went along with the officials' wishes to stage this event was entirely because he wanted to test whether Xing Luxi was truly willing to give up his future for Zhiyin.
Zhiyin was taken aback for a moment, but then she finally understood why she had always felt something was off.
The emperor's gaze was also strange; he didn't seem genuinely trying to harm them, but rather looked like he was enjoying a good show.
The officials, dressed as quails, looked up and exchanged glances: Hehe, very good!
It turns out they were part of their scheme!
They're completely oblivious! They're foolishly inviting trouble!
hateful!!
"It's alright, Grandpa Huang, you're just thinking of me."
Zhiyin waved her hand dismissively. Although she had been quite startled, she was genuinely moved by Xing Luxi's decisive action.
"That's good!!! Hehe."
Old Huang smiled with satisfaction. He gently patted Xing Luxi's shoulder and smiled kindly, "Good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!!"
Xing Luxi smiled shyly, and then decisively offered to resign from his official post.
The emperor and Huang Lao frowned instantly, suspecting that he still harbored resentment about this.
However, Xing Luxi just looked at Zhiyin with a smile in her eyes and explained, "Don't overthink it, everyone. It's simply because I really don't want to be an official anymore. I don't have any great ambitions; I just want to protect Yinyin's safety."
"A wife's voice is her husband's; from now on, wherever she goes, I'll follow!"
"Alright!!"
Although the emperor had many beauties in his harem, he was undoubtedly shocked by the love between the two and immediately agreed.
…
And so, Zhiyin and Xing Luxi, whose ambitions lay not in the capital, returned to Xinghe Village to be with Yao Yulin.
He spends his days in leisure, playing with the uncles, aunts, and small animals in the village, living a life of tranquility and contentment.
She felt sorry for the pregnant animals and even taught herself veterinary medicine to help them give birth occasionally.
Although life is ordinary, it has a unique flavor. There is no deceit or intrigue, only the purest happiness.
Yao Yulin often invited Aunt Xu and her second sister-in-law to go to the county to watch plays and listen to novels with Xing Luxi and Mu Lin's mother...
Zhihua had her own pursuits and aspirations. She was skilled in both literature and martial arts and always wanted to seek the welfare of women in the world, which earned her the respect and admiration of many people.
Therefore, he rose all the way from a seventh-rank official to prime minister!
She has become the only female prime minister to date!
The emperor's seventh princess was about the same age as her, so after meeting by chance, they became best friends and got along very well.
Old Master Huang knew that Zhihua was still young and had not seen much of the colorful world. He was afraid that she would be bullied in the ruthless capital city and that she would go astray.
Therefore, he did not return to Xinghe County, but stayed with Zhihua.
Anyway, Beijing is incredibly prosperous these days, with all sorts of milk tea, barbecue, hot pot, novels, and theaters, so it's not boring at all, and I can enjoy every day.
Mu Lin stayed in the capital, and Aunt Xu's son, Lan Linxi, also passed the exam and obtained a minor official position. The two of them and Zhihua often went to Old Huang's place for meals.
In short, all good things came as expected, and each of them lived the life they wanted most!
…
