Chapter 187: Hidden Edge
After understanding the intention of the four people, Lu Chen first glanced at the empress.
Well, this girl is undoubtedly the way of the emperor.
Then he looked at Xiao Yun again.
This lady from a family was already famous in the world during the period of the first emperor, and she was the world's first talented woman who was extremely outstanding in both talent and appearance, and she was actually a legendary existence.
Enrolled at the age of six, at the age of eight with extremely excellent results left the academy to worship the sect, after the twenty-eighth year of the teacher, not long, with an overwhelming advantage in the imperial examination two years later won the champion fame, after entering the office, it is all the way up, with outstanding ability and political achievements, less than ten years to rank in the six high-ranking departments, the reputation is far and wide.
If it weren't for the bizarre collapse of the first emperor, and then the chaos of the demon and the queen, so that she would have been in the cabinet for six years in the second-to-last position in the six books of the Ministry of Industry.
Background, ability, fame, political achievements, connections, status...... Her political resources are still relatively abundant, and she is a proper political power.
Based on Lu Chen's understanding of her, she should build a foundation with the way of sages and break through the realm with the way of governing the country.
Finally, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Simiao.
Not to mention the fierce man who returned to the Five Heavens at the age of twenty-five, the dignified Shenwu general, in charge of the affairs of the soldiers and horses, the head of the proper military attachΓ©, almost certainly entered the Tao with martial arts, and broke the realm with conquest.
If you count Fu Huan, the spokesperson of the Holy Realm who represents the transcendent Cangming Saint King.
Good guy, the supreme emperor of the world, the great power of today's political arena, the generalissimo of the Great Xia soldiers and horses, the spokesperson of the Holy Realm and the head of the Jinyi Guard, these four important forces of today's Great Xia actually gathered in the living room of his small Xingping County Mansion, drinking tea and chatting in a leisurely manner.
It's a spectacle.
And the ideas that help them to become enlightened
After this thought surfaced, Lu Chen thought about it carefully and scraped the bit of ink in his stomach.
And just when he found a little bit of hard goods, was ready to organize the language, and thought about how to arouse the topic-
"Then again."
Xiao Yun suddenly raised her head slightly, looked at Lu Chen, her lips opened lightly, and she said slowly:
"Huaiyu is now famous, and it's time to think about lifelong events."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen inexplicably felt that the air around him seemed to be a little solidified.
The empress picked up the teacup again and took a big sip with a calm demeanor, but the corner of her eye kept staring at the side.
Although Fu Huan's face was as usual, she inexplicably tightened the hem of her clothes on her knees.
"We'll talk about it later."
Lu Chen shook his head and said casually: "Now that the state affairs are difficult, the imperial court is struggling, Your Majesty wants to get rid of the accumulated evils, sweep away the declining trend, and create an unprecedented prosperous era. β
Hearing this, Fu Huan's little hand on her knee suddenly loosened slightly.
For this answer, Xiao Yun did not have a trace of surprise on her face, obviously expecting it.
Then, she first praised a sentence, and then said: "Although the world has not been appeased, but now the demon queen is ambushed, all the servants are beheaded, and it is only a matter of time before the thieves are overturned. β
At this, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a soft smile.
It's like a gentle big sister in the neighbor's house.,It's like tirelessly talking intimate words to a stubborn teenager.γ "Besides, if you have a good helper or a like-minded Taoist companion by your side, maybe you can better realize your ideals and ambitions, and even achieve twice the result with half the effort, which is much better than facing everything alone."
Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't react, but Fu Huan's little hand tightened again.
At the same timeβ
Bang!
The teacup in the empress's hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, making a clear crisp sound that instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"I'm sorry."
In Lu Chen's puzzled gaze, she said apologetically: "I was thinking about something, and I was distracted for a while... In this way, after I return to the palace, I will compensate Lu Qing for a set of Nine Heavens Jade Porcelain......"
I don't know if she sincerely apologized or wanted to stuff things into the Lu Mansion under the pretext.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, it's just a teacup, it doesn't have to be like this."
Lu Chen shook his head, then beckoned his subordinates to come and clean up, and at the same time instructed them to bring a new set of tea sets.
This little episode that didn't need to be cared about was just gone.
Then Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun.
The relationship between him and Xiao Yun is still very good, not only because of Xiao Yi's former dead friend, the playboy who directly or indirectly brought him the opportunity to ascend to immortal several times was born in the Xiao family, Xiao Yun also took care of his predecessor and him, and had a friendship with each other, but also because he was born with little resistance to this kind of gentle big sister with strong affinity.
Or that not many men can resist this... Uh, everyone who understands understands.
Although I don't have any special thoughts about her, she is also a good colleague and friend.
So Xiao Yun's words, he still has to respond.
However, just as he was about to speak, the empress suddenly said: "Although Xiao Aiqing's words are reasonable, but Xiao Aiqing, you don't seem to have a family yet, and you don't have any Taoist couples, you don't have such plans yourself, but you persuade Lu Qing to choose a good match to marry as soon as possible, don't you think it's strange?" β
Hearing this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but be stunned, then turned her head and glanced at the empress, a subtle color flashed in her bright eyes.
Lu Chen looked at the empress a little strangely.
What's the situation?
The empress is actually connotating Xiao Yun?
That's not right! Doesn't she value Xiao Yun a lot? Otherwise, why did Xiao Yun just come back from Yuzhou and let him enter the cabinet directly?
If you value it so much, why do you still have connotations?
What's more, with Xiao Yun's current cultivation, as long as there are no accidents, it is not a problem to live for two hundred years at all, if the opportunity comes in the future, it is even possible to ascend to the Tao, and she also has a secret method of rejuvenating her face, and she has not seen her get old when she deals with a bunch of heavy official duties every day, and she looks about the same age as Fu Huan and Gu Simiao, so there is no need to worry, right?
It's normal for this kind of cultivation to be able to not get married for a lifetime, so there's no need to mention this, right?
"Are you starting a family or getting married?"
Xiao Yun still had a gentle smile on her face, and she didn't fluctuate at all because of the empress's words.
"Wechen is not completely without plans."
The moment the words fell, the four of them, including Lu Chen, looked at her in surprise at the same time.
"Nothing surprising, right?"
Xiao Yun chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen has never said anything like never marrying for life, but he used to focus on seeking the Tao, and he has never met a lover worthy of entrusting him for life, so he didn't get married. β
As soon as these words came out, there were a few imperceptible soft sounds in the living room.
The coolness in the room was once again a little stronger.
After a while, Lu Chen regained his thoughts.
That's right, Xiao Yun really never said anything like never marrying for life, but he saw that Xiao Yun had never been married, and he was almost completely uninterested in this topic, and he had no intention of doing so, so he preconceived that she was ready to seek the Tao wholeheartedly and didn't care about marriage.
The empress and others also reacted.
"Hehe..."
Gu Simiao smiled.
"I didn't expect Xiao Ge Lao to have such a plan, but I misunderstood Xiao Ge Lao."
Xiao Yun smiled and said a few polite words.
"If that's the case..."
The empress leaned back slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "So, Xiao Aiqing, what kind of lover do you think of?" β
After a pause, she thought for a moment, and then said: "Xiao Aiqing was the first talented woman in the world back then, with both talent and appearance, and she was the best in the world, even when I was young, I heard Xiao Aiqing's name in the mouth of the master, presumably there must be many young talents who pursued Xiao Aiqing back then, and even like the Qing of the River, there must be many talented people in the world, why is Xiao Aiqing indifferent to them and has been alone until now?" Isn't there a lover worth entrusting for life with so many junjie? β
These words made Lu Chen also interested.
The name of the world's most talented woman is not so good.
After all, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and it can be recognized by the people of the world, how good is it?
And it looks so overwhelming, it can even be said to be a disaster.
How can there be fewer suitors for such an excellent woman?
But until now, let alone getting married, Luo Jing has never reported the news of who she is getting along with, and there are even few scandals, she has always been clean and self-conscious, as long as she doesn't go out to work, she basically lives a simple life of almost two points and one line every day.
At the same time, I don't know what the reason is, she obviously didn't have a falling out with the Xiao family, but she didn't live with the Xiao family in Dongcheng, but bought a quiet courtyard in Chongde Fang in Xicheng and lived a quiet life alone.
If there had been a suitor who could impress her, how could she be so alone?
"Is the beloved in Weichen's mind..."
The empress's question seemed to stop Xiao Yun a bit, she thought about it carefully, and then responded softly:
"If you have to say it, it's not complicated, it can even be said to be quite simple, it's probably ... Like-minded, and can do what you can't do in the next, let the big husband who admires you sincerely. β
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
This TM is not complicated?
You are a peerless masterpiece, a talented woman who can win the first level in the world, and people who can make you sincerely admire and are suitable for marriage are basically heroes in the world, right? How many such people can there be in the entire Great Xia Dynasty?
Even existence is a question.
Sure enough, this big sister just wants to find a reason to seek peace of mind, right?
However, just because he thinks this way doesn't mean that others think the same way.
At the moment when Xiao Yun's words fell, the empress, Gu Simiao, and Fu Huan glanced at Lu Chen almost at the same time, making Lu Chen feel inexplicable.
"Your Majesty, Miss Gu, Liangyu, why are you looking at me like this? But what's wrong with me? β
As he spoke, he subconsciously lowered his head to see if there was anything strange on his body.
"Nope."
All three shook their heads almost at the same time.
Lu Chen suddenly felt even more weird.
"Alright."
Xiao Yun said softly: "My affairs are all good, but Huaiyu ......"
She once again brought the topic to Lu Chen.
"You have to think about your life's events, after all, Huaiyu, you have great ambitions, much more ambitious than my ideals, and the things you have to pay and bear are much heavier than mine, and it is not good to have a virtuous helper or like-minded Taoist companion to support you to move forward."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Well, if I don't give you a satisfactory answer to this life's major event, you can't get around it, right?
Persuade me to find a good match today, will you help me match tomorrow, or take me on a blind date?
Shaking his head, Lu Chen didn't bother to entangle, and responded directly: "What Lord Xiao said makes sense, if you have a fate in the future and meet a like-minded woman, you will consider it carefully." β
Seeing that he responded, Xiao Yun suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Huaiyu, it's good if you can figure it out."
Lu Chen shrugged.
Fate, who can say clearly?
As long as he insists that fate has not arrived, or it is not suitable, and his ambitions are not the same, then what should he do?
How could he, the future Lu Immortal King, be worried about such a trivial matter?
However, he didn't notice that when he responded, the empress suddenly frowned slightly, and in the depths of Gu Simiao and Fu Huan's eyes, a strange look flashed inexplicably.
"Huaiyu."
In the next second, Fu Huan, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "In your opinion, what kind of woman can be regarded as like-minded with you?" β
Well?
Lu Chen glanced at Fu Huan with some surprise.
When did Fu Huan gossip like this?
Although he thought so, Lu Chen still said casually: "This... It is probably a person who cares about the people and works for the well-being of all the people in the world, even if he breaks the convention, and even makes enemies of the family, the wealthy family, and the sect. β
Hearing this, the four girls suddenly turned pale.
Although he was asking what a good match in Lu Chen's heart looked like, why wasn't he asking Lu Chen's plan?
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen is ambitious, kind and benevolent.
But for the sake of all the people in the world, he actually planned to face one behemoth after another that made people's scalps tingle...
He must have known how terrifying those behemoths that had accompanied the Great Xia Empire for thousands of years were, but it was so natural when he said that.
What a fearlessness! What perseverance!
At this moment, they hardly had any thoughts in their hearts about anything else, and looking at Lu Chen's eyes, there was a trace of indescribable admiration.
After thoroughly understanding how amazing Lu Chen's ambitions and ambitions were, they sank their hearts almost at the same time.
They know how difficult it is to achieve 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.
As for who this exception is, and whether it can be this exception, it is difficult to say.
