Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Ah."

Fu Ye responded, then stepped back slowly, and sat down beside Xiao Yun.

There was no intention of saying goodbye at all.

She stayed as a guest, so naturally no one would drive her away.

The empress looked at Gu Simiao again.

"Gu Aiqing, what about you?"

Gu Simiao smiled slightly, glanced at Lu Chen, and said in a very relaxed tone: "Huaiyu is a pedant of heaven and man, understands the truth of the world, and helped His Majesty understand the Tao twice, and most of the credit for Commander Fu's promotion to Yijing is due to him, and I heard that when Huaiyu was the governor of the two prefectures, he occasionally taught others, and many acting county magistrates in Yu and Sui prefectures realized the Tao..."

Hearing Gu Simiao listing these things one by one that seemed to prove that Lu Chen is a human cheat, Lu Chen couldn't help but become a little weird.

Although he was also aware of this, he still had an inexplicably strange feeling when Gu Simiao said it face to face.

The people around me are becoming more and more powerful one after another, so why hasn't his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds?

The world is really poisonous, right?

"so."

After Gu Simiao finished listing, she slowly turned her head and looked at the empress with an inexplicable expression.

"While I have some free time today, I would like to have a chat with Huaiyu. Huaiyu is very knowledgeable, and may not be limited to the ways of governing the country. A good talk may be able to inspire or even inspire me." I was able to break through a realm where there had been no movement for a long time.”

Now, Lu Chen could hear it.

With the exception of Fu Yu, all of them came to him to squeeze their wool.

It is because he has helped others, including the Empress, to achieve enlightenment and breakthrough many times...

Apart from making complaints about this, he didn't have any special thoughts.

After all, this world is the world of cultivators.

Cultivators are the existence of seeking immortality and asking for immortality, so it is only natural for them to spare no expense, even unscrupulous means, and there is nothing strange about it.

"I see."

Lu Chen nodded, expressing his understanding.

However, he didn't notice that as Gu Simiao's voice fell, the temperature in the hall, which was obviously blessed by the warm spring magic circle, dropped a bit inexplicably.

Chapter 187 Hidden Machine Front

After understanding the purpose of the four people's visit, 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 great family, who was already famous all over the world in the period of the first emperor, and the most talented woman in the world, both in terms of talent and appearance, is actually a legendary existence.

Enrolled at the age of six, and left the academy at the age of eight with excellent grades to join the sect. After leaving the school in the year of [-], not long after, he won the first prize in the imperial examination two years later with an overwhelming advantage. After becoming an official, He has been promoted all the way, with outstanding ability and political achievements, he has been ranked among the top six departments in less than ten years, and his reputation has spread far and wide.

If it weren't for the sudden collapse of the first emperor, and the chaos of the queen queen, so that she wasted six years in the second-to-last position in the six ministers of the Ministry of Industry, she would have joined the cabinet long ago.

Background, ability, fame, political achievements, contacts, status... Her political resources are relatively strong, and she is a proper political power.

Based on Lu Chen's understanding of her, she should build her foundation with the way of sages and break through with the way of governing the country.

Finally, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Simiao.

Not to mention this 25-year-old fierce man who has returned to the fifth heaven of the first realm. He is a majestic general who is in charge of military and horse affairs. territory.

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, the giant in the current political arena, the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia army, the spokesperson of the Holy Realm and the head of Jinyiwei, these four important forces in the current Great Xia have gathered in his small living room of the Xingping county government office , drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

It is also a wonder.

And the ideas that help them realize enlightenment...

After this idea surfaced, Lu Chen thought about it carefully, and scraped away the little ink in his stomach.

And just when he found some hard goods, was about to organize his language, and thought about how to raise the topic——

"anyway......"

Xiao Yun suddenly raised her head slightly, looked at Lu Chen, her lips parted slightly, and said slowly:

"Huaiyu is now famous, and it's time to think about the important things in his life."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen inexplicably felt that the surrounding air seemed to freeze a bit.

The empress picked up the teacup again, and took a big sip calmly, but she kept staring at the side from the corner of her eyes.

Although Fu Ye looked normal, she inexplicably tightened the hem of her clothes on her knees.

"Let's talk about it later."

Lu Chen shook his head, and said casually: "Nowadays, the country's affairs are difficult, and the imperial court is struggling. Your Majesty wants to get rid of the evils, sweep away the decline, and create an unprecedented prosperity. As an official of the imperial court, I will not only help you wholeheartedly, but also to repay Your Majesty's grace. There is really nothing else to think about.”

Hearing this, Fu Yi's little hand on her knee loosened slightly.

For this answer, there was no surprise on Xiao Yun's face, obviously she had expected it.

Then, she first praised, and then said: "Although the world is not at peace, but now the demon queen is under siege and all her servants are beheaded. It is only a matter of time before the chaos and thieves are overthrown. In addition, your majesty is wise and martial, knows people well, and Huaiyu is unparalleled in righteousness." , You are outstanding in talent and learning, Your Majesty is getting along well with your monarch and ministers, with such a great momentum, the day when the Great Xia will return to peace and the country will be prosperous and the people will be peaceful will not be too far away."

Having said that, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a soft smile.

It's like the gentle big sister in the neighbor's house who is tirelessly talking to the stubborn boy. "Besides, having a good housemate with general knowledge, or a like-minded Taoist companion by your side may help you realize your ideals and ambitions better, and even achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is better than facing everything alone. It's much better."

Hearing this, Lu Chen hadn't reacted yet, but Fu Yu's little hand tightened again.

at the same time--

boom!

The teacup in the empress's hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground with a clear and crisp sound, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Feel sorry."

Under Lu Chen's puzzled eyes, she said apologetically, "I was thinking about something, and my mind 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 is sincerely apologizing or if she wants to use an excuse to stuff something into Lu's house.

"Your Majesty is serious. It's just a teacup. It doesn't have to be like that."

Lu Chen shook his head, then called the servants to come over and tidy up, and at the same time ordered them to bring a new set of tea sets.

This little episode that doesn't need to be cared about just passed away.

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 dead friend from his predecessor, but also because of the playboy who directly and indirectly brought him the chance to become immortal several times. He cared a lot, and had a friendship with each other, and also because he was born with no resistance to this kind of gentle big sister with a strong affinity.

In other words, not many men can resist this kind of... er, I know everything.

Although she doesn't have any special thoughts about her, she is still a good colleague and friend.

Therefore, 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, you haven't married yet, and you don't have any Taoist companions. Don't you think it's strange that Qing chooses a good partner to marry as soon as possible?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yun couldn't help being startled, then turned her head and glanced at the Empress, a subtle look flashed in her bright eyes.

Lu Chen looked at the empress strangely.

what's the situation?

The empress actually connoted Xiao Yun?

its not right!Doesn't she value Xiao Yun a lot?Otherwise, why did Xiao Yun let her into the cabinet as soon as she came back from Yuzhou?

Since it is so important, why do you still connotate others?

What's more, with Xiao Yun's current cultivation base, as long as there are no accidents, it is not a problem to live for 200 years. If the opportunity comes in the future, she may even prove Dao Ascension, and she also has the secret method of beauty, and she can deal with a lot of heavy burdens every day. I haven't seen her getting old during my official duties, she looks about the same age as Fu Yu and Gu Simiao, so there's no need to worry, okay?

It's normal for such a powerful man with a good cultivation base not to have a family all his life, so there's no need to mention this specifically, right?

"Do you want to get married or become a Taoist couple?"

There was still a gentle smile on Xiao Yun's face, and there was no fluctuation at all because of the empress' words.

"It's not that Wei Chen has no plans at all."

The moment the words fell, the four of them, including Lu Chen, looked at her in surprise at the same time.

"No surprise, right?"

Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, I have never said that I will never marry for life. It's just that my mind was all on seeking the Tao and I haven't met a lover worthy of entrusting my life. That's why I didn't get married." No matter how you say it, this minister is also a woman, if the fate comes, I will naturally not reject her, and marry her lover or become a Taoist couple."

As soon as these words came out, there were a few inexplicable soft sounds in the living room.

The coolness in the room became stronger again.

It took a while before Lu Chen calmed down.

That's right, Xiao Yun did never say anything like never marrying, but he saw that Xiao Yun had never had a family, and was almost completely uninterested in this topic, with an attitude of not having any plans, so he preconceived the idea. I think she is ready to pursue the truth wholeheartedly, regardless of marriage.

The empress and the others also reacted.

"Ha ha…"

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: "Then, Xiao Aiqing, what kind of lover do you think?"

After a pause, she thought for a while, and then said: "Xiao Aiqing was the most famous talented woman in the world back then. There must be many young talents who pursued Xiao Aiqing back then, even like Guo Jiangzhiqing, among them there must be some outstanding people in the world with outstanding talents and learning. Why is Xiao Aiqing indifferent to them and is alone so far? There are so many talents. None is worth entrusting for life Is it your beloved?"

These words made Lu Chen also interested.

The title of the most talented woman in the world is not so easy to get.

After all, Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. If it can be recognized by scholars all over the world, how good is it?

And she looks so beautiful, it can even be said to be a disaster.
