"Not married yet." Xiao Chu knew that he could not argue with the Empress Dowager on this matter, or else he would not have a good ending.
"I know you're ambitious and you're still young, but it's good to get engaged first.”The Empress Dowager said earnestly.
Xiao Chu waited for the Empress Dowager to finish speaking and said without hesitation,""Yes, we will follow the Empress Dowager's orders.”After saying that, he respectfully lowered his head and took two steps back. He returned to his previous position and stood still. It was as if he was neither happy nor sad. He had no energy to complain about the questions that the Empress Dowager asked every time they met.
"This commoner Su Zhe greets the Grand Empress Dowager.”
The Empress Dowager blinked and said,""Oh, it's Xiao Shu. Come, come, come to me.”
Xiaoshu? Except for Mei Changsu and Ni Huang, everyone present thought that the Empress Dowager had heard wrongly. However, only Mei Changsu knew that although the Empress Dowager had a bad memory, her heart was very bright.
Mei Changsu took a few more steps forward.
The Empress Dowager was still not satisfied and pointed to the place beside her. "Come here."
Mei Changsu had no choice but to squat beside the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager touched Mei Changsu's face and said in surprise,""Xiao Shu, how did you become like this?”
"I…"
"Oh right, Xiao Shu, has your marriage with Ni Huang been completed?”The Empress Dowager said excitedly,""I remember that you were born in the eighth year of Yuanyou's life. You're already twenty-nine years old this year. Why didn't you bring him into the palace for me to take a look? I remember that you and Ni Huang were naughty when you were young.。。”
As she spoke, the Grand Empress Dowager put Ni Huang and Mei Changsu's hands together.
Ni Huang's eyes were filled with tears. She recalled everything that had happened between her and Lin Shu. When Mei Changsu's hand touched her, Ni Huang was slightly stunned. She wanted to retract her hand but was stopped by Mei Changsu. Now that the Empress Dowager was right in front of him, he couldn't force her back. He could only let Mei Changsu hold his hand.
"Now that you have a child, time really ages you.”The Empress Dowager sighed.
"Grand Empress Dowager, we are not…。We haven't..."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Xiao Chu suddenly interjected," Grand Empress Dowager, Princess Nihuang and Lin Shu have been fighting all these years to protect the people. How could they have the time to get married? However, although the two of them are not married yet, they have long been engaged. I believe that your wedding is not far away. I believe that when the time comes, Young Marshal Lin Shu will definitely invite Grand Empress Dowager to come."”
Ni Huang and Mei Changsu turned around to look at him. Their eyes were filled with gratitude. Ni Huang did not feel anything and thought that Xiao Chu was just trying to comfort the Empress Dowager. However, Mei Changsu saw a deeper meaning in Xiao Chu's eyes. Mei Changsu's heart skipped a beat.
"You're not married yet." The Grand Empress Dowager pretended to be angry and let go of their hands. Ni Huang took the opportunity to retract her hand. The Empress Dowager snorted unhappily and said,""Humph, are Ni Huang and Xiao Shu the only generals in Daliang who are good at fighting? No, you have to get married before the end of the year tomorrow. At that time, I'll ask the emperor to officiate the marriage for you. How about it?”
“。。。”Oh no, it seemed like he was going further and further away.
Mei Changsu was the first to react. He said,"Yes, sir."
"Well... Er, seeing the Empress Dowager's healthy body, this official is relieved. This official will take his leave.”Xiao Chu saw that the situation was getting out of control and was afraid that the Empress Dowager would say something that no one would be able to continue. Xiao Chu decisively took his leave.
Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu also understood and immediately left, ignoring the Empress Dowager's request to stay as if their butts were on fire. After they came out, except for Mei Changsu who had a lot on his mind and Xiao Chu who didn't care at all, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin both let out a long sigh of relief. Who was the person the Empress Dowager was talking about? Lin Shu! Lin Xie's son, the commander of the Red Flame Rebellion twelve years ago. Only the Empress Dowager dared to say such a thing. If it were anyone else, they would have been beheaded by Emperor Liang.
The four of them had just left the Hall of Prolonging Years when a palace maid hurriedly chased after them.
"Four young masters, walk slowly." The palace maid, who was wearing a green palace dress, caught up with the four of them while panting. She was above average, or else she would not have been selected to be a palace maid. He gave a beautiful blessing and said,"Mister Su and Young Master Xiao, please wait for a moment. Princess Nihuang wishes to see you.”
"See me?" Although Mei Changsu was full of doubts, he was still very willing to see Ni Huang again. He nodded to show that he understood.
Xiao Chu didn't understand. Why did you call me when you and your Brother Lin Shu went to visit the palace? Be a third wheel?
The palace maid gave another blessing and left. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also left. Before they left, Yan Yujin gave Mei Changsu a look that said," I can't help you."
Xiao Chu and Mei Changsu did not wait for long before Ni Huang walked out. Ni Huang had always been someone who led troops. She was magnanimous and swift, and she would do whatever she thought of without any hesitation. In Xiao Chu's words, Ni Huang was someone who would never procrastinate because she had never procrastinated before.
"Little Chu, Mr. Su."
"Princess."
After Xiao Chu greeted them, he decided not to be a third wheel. He cupped his hands and said,""I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with a patient with a strange disease today. This person doesn't have much time left for me to treat him. As a doctor, I can't refuse. Sister Ni Huang, Brother Su. I'll take my leave first."
Ni Huang did not stop him, as it was only out of habit that she called Xiao Chu over. In fact, Mei Changsu was the main character today. Ni Huang did not say anything, so Mei Changsu had nothing more to say. He cupped his hands and bade farewell.
No matter what shameless things Ni Huang and Mei Changsu had done, Xiao Chu was still walking in the Imperial Palace with large strides. He was the Deputy Headmaster of the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Although he was not qualified to walk in the Imperial Palace, he was still familiar with the palace. It was not his first time coming to the Hall of Prolonging.
As Xiao Chu walked, she thought about the next plot. After all, it had been two years since she had transmigrated. There were many things that Xiao Chu had forgotten. The weather in Jinling was a little abnormal in September. When it was hot, the sun was bright, but when it was cold, the wind was bone-piercing. Xiao Chu put his hand into his other sleeve and walked forward with his head lowered, as if he was bowing.
"After that, he met Tingsheng, and Meng Zhi questioned Mei Changsu. The black horse of the combat examination, Beric, appeared and invited the top ten of the theory examination.。。”Xiao Chu frowned and sighed,""Su Zhe, oh Su Zhe, I don't care if you're the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance or the commander of the Red Flame Army. As long as you don't interfere with my plan, I'll let you stay out of my way, even though I know it's difficult.”
After passing through a moon gate, Xiao Chu felt that the world before him had suddenly opened up. There was a small path paved with gravel, and on both sides of the path were slightly withered grass and lush trees. At the end of the relatively clean path was a slightly dilapidated house. Although the sky was still bright, Xiao Chu saw that the house was actually lit up.
