After understanding the purpose of the four people's visit, Lu Chen first glanced at the empress.
Well, this girl is undoubtedly an emperor.
Then he looked at Xiao Yun again.
This lady, who came from a noble family, had already become famous in the world during the late emperor's period. She was the most talented woman in the world with outstanding talent and beauty. In fact, she was also a legendary existence.
He entered school at the age of six, and left the academy with excellent results at the age of eight to join the sect. After graduating from school in 28, not long after, he overwhelmingly won the top prize in the imperial examination two years later. After becoming an official, He has been promoted all the way, and with his outstanding ability and political achievements, he has been ranked in the top six departments in less than ten years, and his reputation has spread far and wide.
If it hadn't been for the mysterious collapse of the late Emperor and the chaos of the Demon Queen, which caused her to waste six years in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which ranked second from the bottom among the six ministers of authority, she would have joined the cabinet long ago.
Origin, ability, reputation, political achievements, connections, status... Her political resources are relatively strong, and she is a serious political power.
Based on Lu Chen's understanding of her, she should have built a foundation with the way of a sage and broken through the situation with the way of governing the country.
Finally, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Simiao.
Not to mention this fierce man who returned to the fifth level of heaven at the age of twenty-five. He is a majestic and powerful general, in charge of military and horse affairs, and a proper military officer. He almost certainly entered the Tao through martial arts. Expeditions and breakthroughs.
If we include Fu Huan, the spokesperson for the Holy Realm who represents the transcendent Holy King Cangming.
Good guy, the supreme emperor in the world, a giant in today's political arena, the Grand Marshal of Daxia's army, the spokesperson of the Holy Realm and the leader of the Imperial Guard, these four important forces in Daxia today actually gathered in the living room of his small Xingping County government office. , drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
It’s quite a sight.
And the ideas that help them realize the Tao
After this idea emerged, Lu Chen thought about it carefully and wiped away the little ink in his stomach.
And just when he found some hard stuff and was about to organize his language and think about how to stir up the topic——
"anyway."
Xiao Yun suddenly raised her head slightly, looked at Lu Chen, opened her red lips lightly, and said slowly:
"Now that Huaiyu has become famous, it's time to think about life-long events."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen inexplicably felt that the air around him seemed to solidify.
The empress picked up the tea cup again and took a big sip calmly, but she kept looking at the side from the corner of her eyes.
Although Fu Hua's expression remained as usual, she inexplicably tightened the clothes around her knees.
"Let's talk about it later."
Lu Chen shook his head and said casually: "Nowadays, the national situation is difficult and the imperial court is struggling. Your Majesty wants to eliminate the long-standing evils, sweep away the decline, and create an unprecedented prosperous age. As an official of the imperial court, I will not only help you with all my heart and soul, but also repay His Majesty's holy grace. I really have no other thoughts.”
Hearing this, Fu Hua's little hands on her knees suddenly relaxed slightly.
Regarding this answer, there was no trace of surprise on Xiao Yun's face, she had obviously expected it.
Then, she first praised, and then said: "Although the world is not at peace, now that the Demon Queen has been executed, and all her followers have been killed, it is only a matter of time before the thieves are overthrown. In addition, His Majesty is wise and powerful, knows people well, and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness." , outstanding in talent and learning, Your Majesty and your monarch and ministers get along well with each other. With such a great trend, the day when peace will return to the country and the country and the people will not be too far away."
Having said this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a soft smile.
Just like the gentle elder sister in the neighbor's house, taking the trouble to speak thoughtful words to the stubborn boy. "Besides, having a wise helper or a like-minded Taoist companion around you may help Huaiyu realize your ideals and ambitions better, and even get twice the result with half the effort. This is better than facing everything alone. It’s much better.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen had no reaction, but Fu Hua's little hand tightened again.
at the same time--
boom!
The tea cup in the empress's hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground with a clear crisp sound, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Feel sorry."
Under Lu Chen's confused gaze, she said apologetically: "I was thinking about something and was distracted for a moment... In this way, after I return to the palace, I will give you a set of Nine Heavens Jade Porcelain, Lu Qing..."
I don’t know if she is sincerely apologizing or if she is trying to make an excuse to stuff something into the Lu Mansion.
"Your Majesty is serious, it's just a teacup, it doesn't have to be like this."
Lu Chen shook his head, then called his servants to come over and tidy up, and at the same time ordered them to bring a new tea set.
This little episode that didn't need to be taken care of just passed.
Then Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun.
His relationship with Xiao Yun is still very good, not only because Xiao Yi, his predecessor's dead friend, the playboy who directly and indirectly brought him the opportunity to become an immortal several times, was from the Xiao family, Xiao Yun also had a deep respect for his predecessor and him. They take care of each other and have a working relationship with each other, and because he has no natural resistance to this kind of gentle big sister with strong affinity.
In other words, not many men can resist this kind of... well, I understand.
Although I don’t have any special thoughts about her, I am still a good colleague and good friend.
So he still had to respond to Xiao Yun's words.
However, just when he was about to speak, the empress suddenly said: "Although what Xiao Aiqing said makes sense, it seems that Xiao Aiqing has not married yet, nor does he have any Taoist companions. You yourself have no such plan, but you persuade Lu Don’t you think it’s strange that you should choose a good match and get married as soon as possible?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but be startled, then turned her head and glanced at the empress, a subtle color flashed in her bright eyes.
Lu Chen looked at the empress strangely.
what's the situation?
The empress actually loves Xiao Yun?
its not right! Doesn't she value Xiao Yun very much? Otherwise, why would Xiao Yun directly let him join the cabinet as soon as he returned from Yuzhou?
If you value it so much, why do you still care about others?
What's more, with Xiao Yun's current cultivation level, as long as nothing unexpected happens, living for two hundred years is not a problem at all. If the opportunity comes in the future, it may even be possible for her to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Moreover, she also has the secret method of staying in beauty, and handles a lot of heavy tasks every day. I haven't seen her getting older even during her official duties. She looks about the same age as Fu Hua and Gu Simiao. There's no need to be anxious, right?
It is normal for such a powerful person with good cultivation to never have a family. There is no need to mention this specifically, right?
"Are you starting a family or getting married?"
Xiao Yun still had a gentle smile on her face, not at all affected by the empress' words.
"It's not like Wei Chen has no plans at all."
The moment she finished speaking, four people, including Lu Chen, looked at her in surprise.
"Nothing surprising, right?"
Xiao Yun chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I have never said that I will never marry. It's just that I used to focus entirely on pursuing the truth, and I never met a lover worthy of my life, so I didn't get married. No matter how you say it, Wei Chen is still a woman. If fate comes, Wei Chen will naturally not reject her and marry her beloved or become a Taoist couple."
As soon as these words came out, there were a few soft and imperceptible sounds in the living room.
The coolness in the room became stronger again.
After a while, Lu Chen calmed down.
That's right, Xiao Yun did never say anything like never marrying, but he saw that Xiao Yun never got married, and was almost completely uninterested in this topic, with an attitude of not having any plans, so he preconceived the idea that Xiao Yun would never marry. She was ready to pursue the truth wholeheartedly, regardless of marriage.
The Empress and others also reacted.
"hehe…"
Gu Simiao smiled.
"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao Ge to have such a plan, but I misunderstood Mr. Xiao Ge."
Xiao Yun smiled and said a few polite words.
"if it is like this…"
The empress leaned back slightly, leaning her jade back on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "So, Xiao Aiqing, what kind of a beloved person do you think of?"
After a pause, she thought for a moment, and then said: "Xiao Aiqing was the most talented woman in the world at that time. She was both talented and beautiful, and she was the best among all the girls. Even when I was young, I heard about you Xiao Aiqing from my master. With his name, there must have been many young talents who pursued Xiao Aiqing back then, even like the Qing who crossed the river. Among them, there must be many outstanding people with outstanding talents and learning. Why is Xiao Aiqing indifferent to them and staying alone to this day? There are so many talents, none of them is worthy of being entrusted to him for life. Your beloved?"
These words made Lu Chen also interested.
The title of the most talented woman in the world is not so easy to come by.
After all, if one is not first in literature and second in martial arts, if he can be recognized by scholars all over the world, how good can he be?
Moreover, he is so handsome that he can even be said to be a disaster.
How could such an outstanding woman have so few suitors?
But until now, let alone getting married, Luo Jing has never heard of anyone she is in love with, and there are very few scandals. She has always kept herself clean. As long as she is not going out to work, she basically leads a simple life of almost two o'clock and one line every day. .
At the same time, for some unknown reason, she clearly did not break up with the Xiao family, but she did not live with the Xiao family in the East City. Instead, she bought a quiet courtyard in Chongde Square in the West City and lived a quiet life alone.
If there had been a suitor who could impress her, how could she be so alone?
"Is this a beloved person in Wei Chen's eyes..."
The empress' question seemed to frustrate Xiao Yun. She thought about it carefully and then responded softly:
"To put it bluntly, it's actually not complicated. It can even be said to be quite simple. He is probably... a like-minded man who can do things that I can't do. He can make me sincerely admire him."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
Isn’t this complicated?
You are a peerless person, a talented woman who can win the title of No. 1 in the world. People who can make you sincerely admire and are suitable for marriage are basically unparalleled heroes, right? How many such people can there be in the entire Great Xia Dynasty?
Whether it even exists or not is a question.
Sure enough, this eldest sister just wants to find a way to seek enlightenment in peace of mind, right?
However, just because he thinks so does not mean that others think so too.
The moment Xiao Yun finished speaking, the Empress, Gu Simiao and Fu Hua glanced at Lu Chen almost at the same time, making Lu Chen feel confused.
"Your Majesty, Miss Gu, Liangyu, why are you looking at me like this? But what is wrong with me?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head subconsciously to see if there was anything strange on his body.
"No."
The three of them shook their heads almost simultaneously.
Lu Chen suddenly felt even weirder.
"alright."
Xiao Yun said softly: "Everything is fine with me, but Huaiyu..."
She brought the topic to Lu Chen again.
"You should think carefully about your life-long affairs. After all, Huaiyu, you have lofty ambitions, much greater than my ideals and ambitions, and the things you have to pay and bear are much heavier than mine. There is no virtuous wife or like-minded person. It’s not enough for your Taoist companions to support you as you move forward.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Well, if I don’t give you an answer to this life-long matter that can temporarily satisfy you, you can’t get around it anyway, right?
Today you persuade me to find a good match, and tomorrow you help me find a matchmaker, or take me on a blind date?
Shaking his head, Lu Chen didn't bother to argue, and responded directly: "Master Xiao is right. If I are destined to meet a like-minded woman in the future, I will consider it carefully."
Seeing him agree, Xiao Yun immediately narrowed her eyes.
"Huaiyu, it's good if you can figure it out."
Lu Chen shrugged.
Who can say clearly about fate?
As long as he insists that the fate has not come, or is not suitable, or has different likes and dislikes, then what should he do?
How could he, the future Immortal King of Lu, worry about such a trivial matter?
However, he did not notice that when he agreed, the empress suddenly frowned slightly, and a strange look flashed in the corners of Gu Simiao and Fu Hua's eyes.
"Huaiyu."
The next second, Fu Hua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "In your opinion, what kind of woman can be considered as having the same goals as you?"
Um?
Lu Chen glanced at Fu Hua in surprise.
When did Fu Hua become such a gossip?
Although he thought so, Lu Chen still said casually: "This... he is probably someone who cares about the common people and works for the benefit of all people in the world. For this reason, he will not hesitate to break the rules and even make enemies of aristocratic families, wealthy families, and sects. Bar."
Hearing this, the four women suddenly looked stern.
Although he was asking what Lu Chen's ideal match was like, he was also asking about Lu Chen's plans.
As expected, Lu Chen has high aspirations and is kind and righteous.
But for the sake of all the people in the world, he actually plans to face those behemoths that make people’s scalp numb one after another...
He must have known how terrifying those behemoths that had accompanied the Great Xia Empire for thousands of years were, but when he said those words, it was so natural.
How fearless! What perseverance!
At this moment, they had almost no other thoughts in their hearts, and there was a hint of indescribable admiration in their eyes when they looked at Lu Chen.
After fully understanding how amazing Lu Chen's ambitions and ambitions were, they calmed down almost at the same time.
They naturally know how difficult it is to realize this ambition.
And this also means that it is almost impossible for like-minded people in Lu Chen's mind to exist.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything.
As for who is this exception and whether it can become this exception, it is hard to say.
