After making arrangements for the expedition, Li Rusi and Siqinmi became busy again, while Zhuang Xun continued his book compilation journey.
Although there are uprisings and rebellions everywhere in You State, Zhuang Xun and the others are just preparing, because neither Zhao State nor Cheng State have moved as agreed.
Waiting for news from Cheng Guo and Zhao Guo, we also arranged spring plowing and production work. This year we are much richer than last year, our work is easier, and the water conservancy projects we built are also effective.
With last year's experience, Si Qinmi was obviously much more relaxed and had time to teach Zhuang Xun how to deal with daily matters.
"You shouldn't have come today." Si Qinmi said to Zhuang Xun as he sorted out the corrected documents.
"ah?"
"Forgot? It's time to go to Master Qingluan to study today." After adjusting Zhuang Xun's appearance, because Zhuang Xun came from Li Rusi's place, even though he was also dressed neatly, Si Qinmi couldn't help but tease him a few times. , just like brushing it twice even though there is no dust.
"Master Qingluan, oh, we have to finish this work before we talk." Zhuang Xun reacted, and then said with a smile, because there are some old ladies around, so I won't talk about Xuannv.
"You are so true. King Cheng wants to see immortals every day. It's better for you, but you still have to wait until the afternoon." Si Qinmi kissed Zhuang Xun on the cheek.
"He is him and I am me. I am also happy to see real people, but it's not good to disturb her all day long." Zhuang Xun actually felt a little guilty. After enjoying the autumn scenery last time, he went out more frequently.
Appreciating the red maples and auspicious snow sounds quite poetic and picturesque. It would be okay if you were just with He Tan. After all, you are your future wife.
But Empress Xuannv is here, so it’s like bringing a girlfriend home, and being watched helplessly, and timid, it’s better not to take her home.
Moreover, recently, Xuannv's clear black and white eyes also like to stare at people. Zhuang Xun, who was looking at people with critical eyes, was hairy all over. He didn't know what Xuannv was picking on.
"You are studying seriously, what are you worried about? How can a virtuous person like Master Qingluan eat you up?" Si Qinmi held Zhuang Xun's cheek with a warm smile. Raising pigs is very happy, and raising talents is a joy. It's also very happy, do it together, double happiness.
"What are you talking about? You are talking nonsense. Do you think I am some kind of steamed bun? If someone hears this, I will punish you for disrespecting the immortal..." Joking, Zhuang Xun hugged Siqin Mi's waist and twisted. Niggle.
"What are you thinking about? If you're not afraid of Master Qingluan, who are you afraid of? Afraid of Sister Tan? Can you still be afraid of her?" Si Qinmi pushed Zhuang Xun towards the door and asked Zhuang Xun three times in a row. 's speechless.
"I'm a little afraid of the real person. I always feel like there's something wrong with her eyes. I don't know what's wrong. Anyway, I'm not as kind and friendly as before." Zhuang Xun said about his feelings. He felt that Xuan Nu's feelings towards people before , just like my elders were kind and tolerant to me, but now I feel like my mother-in-law is picky.
"I think you are disrespecting the immortal. If you have any doubts, ask them. Don't keep it in your heart. Master Qingluan is tolerant and generous. He won't argue with you. Don't guess." Si Qinmi kissed him again. Zhuang Xun's cheek encouraged him.
"I understand, I understand, it's just hard to say. Forget it, I know you shouldn't be timid, I understand." Zhuang Xun showed a smile, accepted Si Qinmi's encouragement and suggestions, and went back to kiss Si Qinmi, unscrupulously handing out dog food.
When he walked towards the house where Xuannv was, Xuannv was playing chess.
She played chess with He Tan and made free moves.
"Empress, I'm going to win. If you're not distracted, don't play." He Tan said, looking at the chessboard that was already in the middle. Her chess position had become a big dragon.
"Hmm..." Xuannv was pondering.
"Are you asking about brother?" He Tan asked carefully.
"Yeah." Xuan Nu replied casually.
After reacting, she was stunned for a moment and said nothing. The mature Taoist nun clenched and relaxed her whisk.
"What else is there to think about? Where can I find a man who respects women like Brother Xun? Isn't the love between men and women about mutual respect?" He Tan said proactively, talking about Zhuang Xun's advantages.
"..." Undecided.
"Moreover, do you have any good candidates for your Majesty? Brother Xun is the most self-aware and will not pester your Majesty. When your Majesty transcends, he will have a woman like Sister Lanzhi to comfort him, and there will be no cause and effect." He Tan continued, telling Zhuang Questions were shoved in front of her eyes.
"I will think about it myself." Xuannv thought about it thousands of times and calculated it hundreds of times, but there was no result, no result at all. She can't calculate herself by calculating others, so it can be regarded as a divination under the lamp.
"What are you thinking about? Since you have decided to fall in love with a mortal, why don't you choose to ask brother? You have rich experience in asking brother." He Tan said without any discernment, it was intentional, not accidental.
"He is your future husband-in-law, what are you instigating?" Xuan Nu frowned, playing with the chess pieces in her hand, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
"Because I have done many wrong things, please ask my brother, so I can win the favor of Empress Xuannv, and I can be happy for him!" He Tan did not hide his purpose, sincerity is the greatest weapon, pry open people's hearts .
"Use me as a favor, you really deserve it." The white chess piece in Xuannv's hand slipped in Yujing's hand.
"What kind of kindness is it? Isn't it a win-win situation? It is a great blessing for him to have a relationship with you, my queen. It is also a help to my queen who wants to experience the love between men and women. Don't you hate asking my brother?" He Tan tried his best. explain.
She never thought about using this thing as compensation for Zhuang Xun's favor. All she thought about was that Xuannv was bigger than the King of Hell in the underworld. What kind of opportunity was this from heaven? She had to firmly grasp it for Zhuang Xun, so she spoke frankly.
"I don't hate it, I quite admire it. I can listen to what others say, but you know, is he willing?" Thinking of Zhuang Xun's daily performance, especially the last time he was subdued, compared to King Zhao who didn't listen to what others said, Zhuang Xun Too much pleasing to the eye.
He is self-aware and able to listen to what others say. In daily interactions, he is reserved. However, compared to those who knew his identity as a god before, he has more detached equality and respects himself. However, he still feels that he is a human being and his rich experience can be considered an advantage. Forget it.
"Why wouldn't you want to? There's no harm at all, why should he resist!" He Tan immediately said, telling Xuannv not to worry about it. Immortals come down to earth and fall in love. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
"You said that I arranged for Mrs. Jiang and Zhuang Xun not to consider their opinions, but now you are the same as me." Xuannv said with a smile. This is also an aspect that she has been reflecting on recently, although she still doesn't feel that she was wrong.
"Then, wouldn't it be nice for you to experience this kind of matching feeling? If you can experience it more, then you can be more able to put yourself in someone else's shoes when you do this kind of thing." He Tan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had another reason.
"Test him today. If you don't want to, then let it go." Xuannv made the decision and the white piece fell. The whole game was reversed. The big dragon seemed to have been cramped and could no longer walk.
The advantages He Tan mentioned hit her right where she was. She was left speechless by He Tan last time. It made so much sense. Think about the possibility of creating a world where yin and yang did not exist and were twisted and weird. Sex is infinite, and she can't sit still.
She can create famous works on internal cultivation such as the Yin Fu Jing, understands the movement of Qi in the human body, knows the expression of love, and even guides and controls it to achieve results.
But she couldn't understand the emergence of love. If it was a physical reaction or a fantasy in her mind, she felt something was wrong. She had never experienced it herself. If love became strange in the world she created with Tao, Xuannv could not accept it. She is the god in charge of marriage.
Now that Fan's heart was moved, she began to look for a target. First, she didn't hate him, and second, she didn't have too much karma.
Only those who don't hate you can have a chance to get along with you, and only those who are not tainted by cause and effect can you leave gracefully and transcend this world.
He respects people, can listen to advice, is reserved but not humble, and has the image of a prosperous wife. His presence or absence will not affect him too much, because Zhuang Xun has a legal wife, and the legal wife doesn't care about him and is not jealous, so it seems very suitable. .
Finally, He Tan said that he should verify the marriage he arranged now, and his own feelings may be able to get the answer to his previous reflections.
Thinking of the divination, she hesitated for a moment and said to He Tan, "I have something urgent. I'll come as soon as I can."
Then she turned around and disappeared in front of He Tan, leaving behind He Tan who had not had time to be happy.
The disappeared Xuannv came to Yindu, thousands of miles away, and found a spacious star observatory. The sun, moon and stars in this world were not star systems, but real star palaces and constellations.
She stood in the middle of the stargazing platform, with the breeze blowing on her face, closing her eyes and concentrating.
"Mother Xuannv, see you at Getan." The old Taoist priest bowed his hands.
"You are also a national master of a country, and I am also a national master of a country. You don't have to salute me." Xuannv put her palms together and said in return.
"After all, there is a gift of teaching, and this gift is what the empress deserves. I heard that the empress has served as the national preceptor of the Zhao country and has chosen the junior sister. Is it because of the affairs of the You country that she came to Yu this time?" The news about Ge Tan is not Shun, guessing the purpose of Xuannv coming to him.
"No, it's a personal matter. Besides, the situation in Yu State is such that sending troops to You State is impossible." Xuannv looked at Ge Tan and sighed.
"It really can't be done. Now King Yu has only a trace of blood left. He may go west at any time. It's getting harder and harder for the princes to suppress him." Ge Tan sighed. King Yu had originally planned to kill him, but now he really is. All he had to do was hold his breath and buy time for Zhuang Xun.
"You have worked hard. I don't blame you. How can you see through people's hearts when you have bad luck? You should keep this Nine Turns Soothing Pill first." Xuannv said understandingly, stretched out her hand, and a plain bottle flew towards Getan.
"Thank you for the gift, your Majesty. Do you have any instructions?" After accepting the white jade bottle, Ge Tan asked about the purpose of Xuannv's arrival today.
She would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Xuannv came to Yu State not for You State, so she must have some other matters.
"It's about detachment." Xuannv was thinking about how to say this.
"Congratulations to the Queen, who is about to transcend this world. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Ge Tan congratulated, saying that he was not a master or a disciple, but a believer.
"It's time to be detached. It's been too long. You've learned the truth about my divination. I need to trouble you today." Xuannv requested.
"My Majesty, it's okay, but my Majesty is so powerful, do you need Pindao's help?" Ge Tan was also surprised to see Xuannv's slightly twitchy look, but she still said respectfully.
"Don't count others, not yourself. Before transcending, I want to experience love in the world without leaving any regrets, but I don't know if I am in conflict with the man." Xuannu took a deep breath, her expression calm and unruffled.
Then Ge Tan's pupils were shaking and his expression was dull. He doubted his ears, and then looked at Xuan Nu's calm expression. After all, he couldn't say anything questioning.
"How can a poor Taoist calculate whether it is a blessing or a curse? Your Majesty is a heavenly being. How can ordinary calculations be accurate?" Ge Tan shook his head crazily. It was so crazy. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl was thinking about the mortal world. He wondered if it was Yu Guo. He was going to die, the loss of luck was driving him crazy.
"It doesn't have to be precise. Just calculate whether it's good or bad. It doesn't matter if it's not accurate. Please have peace of mind." Xuan Nu had already expected it, so she comforted Ge Tan and said that he didn't need to be very accurate in his calculation.
"Okay, let me ask about the person's birth date and face..." Ge Tan suppressed his surprise and was forced to agree, asking which talent Xuan Nu took a fancy to.
"That's you, Zhuang Xun, from the Yu Kingdom...the horoscope is..." With a wave of her hand, Zhuang Xun's face appeared, but Xuan Nu's expression remained unchanged, as if the person asking for fortune telling had nothing to do with her.
"Zhuang Xun..." Ge Tan's heart tightened.
King Yu gave in and Xuannv favored him. Why did all this great luck come to him? His thoughts were turning. He seemed to understand and he relaxed.
"Ge Tan, what's wrong with you? What's the problem?" Seeing Ge Tan's expression, Xuannv was slightly confused.
"Thinking of Zhuang Xun's virtues, I suddenly felt relaxed. Empress Xuannu has chosen a talented person with both virtues and virtues." Ge Tan praised.
"Is that so? It seems that his reputation is not bad. You can calculate whether we are in conflict with each other and whether we can have a marriage." It will be uncomfortable, after all, it means that you don't know people well.
Using magic to predict the future, Ge Tan's eyebrows relaxed and brought joy.
"Good luck, my dear, a match made in heaven..." Ge Tan congratulated, and the smile on the old man's face almost broke out in laughter.
"That's good, I'll answer him." Xuannv breathed a sigh of relief. Xuannv felt itchy all over, as the believers knew that she was thinking of a mortal.
Without saying anything more, she cleared up her expression and transformed into a rainbow, leaving Ge Tan with a smile full of smiles and a happy expression.
Thousands of miles away, approaching in a blink of an eye, obviously going to the courtyard where she was raised, Xuannv suddenly felt uneasy.
Zhuang Xun would really like his appearance. She is a Taoist nun in her thirties, with a slight beauty. Thinking about He Tan and Li Rusi, there are some shortcomings. He doesn't like how he uses this clone to deal with him. It's normal.
But before she could think about it, Zhuang Xun was already knocking on the door.
"Jiedu, please come in."
"I've asked your Majesty." He held his hand as usual.
"No need to be polite..." Xuannv was stuck. She didn't know what to say for a moment, whether to reminisce about old times, ask about her homework, or tease him about his relationship with He Tan.
"Empress?" Zhuang Wen saw that Xuannv didn't speak for a long time. He felt confused and wondered if he had done something wrong. He bent down slightly and lowered his head.
"Jiedu, I have a great merit for you, I wonder if you are willing to do it." Xuannu looked at Zhuang Xun's respectful look, she became more and more embarrassed, and said bravely.
She felt a little bit about Zhuang Xun's feelings when he asked Mrs. Jiang.
"Please make it clear, Madam." Zhuang Xun's heart thumped. It might not be that easy to get great merit from Xuannv's mouth.
"It's not right to be my lover and let me experience human love. It's not right to be my husband-in-law. It's not right to be my..." Xuan Nu was at a loss for words. She didn't want to get involved in Zhuang Xun's marriage, but she also wanted to experience the love of mortals. , that is, only feelings and no status.
"Do you want to talk about a boyfriend, the kind of relationship between husband and wife before marriage?" Zhuang Xun saw that she was looking for words for a long time and gave her a hint.
Then he felt horrified. He probably understood what he had been through in the past few months, why he was looked at repeatedly, and why he was looked at like a mother-in-law.
"Hmm...what do you mean?" It obviously didn't matter, but it did matter. His face was red, he was charming and shy, and Zhuang Xun was so happy to see him.
"Yes." Madam, I was eaten by Xuannv.
