"This…" Although Ni Huang was prepared, she was still stunned. The blush on her pretty face had even flown to Hua Mei. She hesitated for a moment, wanting to reject him like the previous few times. However, when she thought about it, Xiao Chu's firm heart suddenly became hesitant. On the one hand, she was afraid that Xiao Chu would let his imagination run wild and give up on himself after being rejected by her. On the other hand, Ni Huang, who was an old leftover woman in this era, did like Xiao Chu, who was smart and doting on others. Ni Huang recalled the scene where Tian Xi Jian had unhesitatingly blocked the sword for her.
Xiao Chu wasn't very happy, but if she said that she wasn't willing, she would definitely be pretentious. Originally, Xiao Chu's plan was to organize a meeting between Mei Changsu and Ni Huang and slowly influence them. The earliest he could do was to complete it in February next year. However, who would have thought that Emperor Liang would be so powerful as to send Ni Huang into his arms?
"Since you're so awesome, I'll give you a coma when I ascend the throne. Go play by yourself!”After thinking about some evil things, Xiao Chu knelt down and said,""Your Majesty, I was originally a commoner. Because I was lucky enough to cure smallflower, I was promoted to the vice commander of the Imperial Academy of Medicine and the mirror master of the Hanging Mirror Division. However, I am only an official now. The princess is the daughter of Lord Yun Nan and has a noble status. I don't dare to climb up."
"Phew." Ni Huang heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a sense of disappointment.
"Hey, what do you mean by climbing up the social ladder? Hmm?" Emperor Liang was not very satisfied with this. Even though Emperor Liang was a firm believer in matching families, for some reasons, Emperor Liang's moral integrity was probably not much higher than Xiao Chu's. In order to achieve his goal, Emperor Liang said earnestly,"Ni Huang is already twenty-seven years old this year. She's not young anymore, and you're also twenty-two years old this year. I already have a child at your age! The words of climbing up the social ladder were even more ridiculous. As the saying goes, start a family first before starting a career. How can I put the heavy responsibility on your shoulders if your family is not even successful? Alright, Xiao Qing, you don't have to say anymore. Ni Huang, what's your opinion?”
"My daughter... My daughter..." Ni Huang was at a loss for words.
"Your father, Lord Yun Nan Mu Shen, had a good relationship with me when he was young. He was as good as a person, and it was precisely because of this that I was so worried about your marriage. I think even if Mu Shen was still alive, he wouldn't want you to be without a husband, right?”
"I…" Ni Huang hesitated for a moment before biting her lip. She had bitten so hard that she had left a bite mark. "Your Majesty, I will obey Your Majesty's will!"”
What was that? Ni Huang agreed? Isn't happiness too sudden?
Xiao Chu, who had always been a conspiracy theorist, calmed down after the initial joy and waited for the rest of the story.
"Ni Huang agreed? Haha, good boy." Emperor Liang laughed so hard that his beard trembled.
The problem of loyalty in the southern region is finally going to be solved. As long as Xiao Chu is in the southern region of the capital, he will never be able to escape from me! The Emperor of Liang was overjoyed that the problem of ten years had been solved at this moment. He shifted his gaze from Ni Huang to Xiao Chu. The more he looked at Xiao Chu, the more he liked her. Two years ago, the Emperor of Liang made Xiao Chu the Deputy Headmaster of the Imperial Academy of Medicine and the Mirror Master of the Xuanjing Department so that he could keep an amulet that could save him at any time. However, it was different now. Now that the amulet had been upgraded, it no longer only had the effect of treating illnesses and saving lives. With Xiao Chu around, it meant that the Southern Region would not dare to rebel. Just by looking at Xiao Chu, Emperor Liang had already thought of many things in the short span of three to four breaths.
"Xiao Qing, just now you mentioned something about climbing up the social ladder. Zhen thought about it carefully just now and it is true. Even if he didn't say it, there would still be some discussion behind his back. How about this…"
"Don't, Xiao Xuan, you're not going back on your word, are you? Why did a princess's marriage sound so casual?”Although Xiao Chu was secretly criticizing Emperor Liang, he did not dare to say it out loud even if he was given a dozen gall bladders. He respectfully pretended to be magnanimous and bowed lightly, saying,"It's all up to Your Majesty."
“。。。Eh, how about I promote you to the rank of Marquis?"
"Ah!" Xiao Chu was shocked. "Your Majesty, how can I be worthy of the title of Marquis if I don't have any contributions? Your Majesty, please retract your order."
Although he said that, Xiao Chu still yearned for the title of Marquis! However, Xiao Chu also knew that Emperor Liang was testing him. Not only would the ministers not dare to suddenly promote a non-official who had not made any contributions to the country to the rank of Marquis, even the Ministry of Central Affairs and the cabinet would not agree to it. At that time, there would definitely be a large group of people surrounding Xiao Chu's door every day to scold Xiao Chu for bewitching the ruler. There would also be a large number of people surrounding the palace gates, shouting that if His Majesty did not retract his order, he would die at the palace gates.
Emperor Liang pretended to have a headache and rubbed his forehead. He stood up and shook the sleeves of his black dragon robe. Emperor Liang personally walked down to help Ni Huang and Xiao Chu up and placed their hands together. "Then we can only wait for Xiao Qing to make a contribution to Zhen in the future before discussing the matter of conferring a title. Tomorrow, Zhen's marriage decree will arrive at your residence.”
"March next year? Isn't it too early, Your Majesty? According to the etiquette, a princess and a prince need to be married for a year before they can get married.。。”Xiao Chu asked suspiciously.
"Isn't Zhen thinking for Ni Huang? Next year, Ni Huang would be frozen in October and the weather would inevitably drag on until the year after next. By then, Ni Huang would be 29 years old. Do you still want Ni Huang to wait?”
"Is there a big difference between twenty-eight and twenty-nine? Forget it. Anyway, the earlier he entered the door, the earlier he would be.。。Ahem." Xiao Chu let go of Ni Huang's delicate hands and bowed,"We will obey Your Majesty's orders."
"We will obey Your Majesty's orders." Ni Huang blushed and knelt down to express her gratitude.
"Yes, you can leave now.”Emperor Liang was in a good mood and even specially reminded him,"Xiao Qing, your clinic is too small. After you change your residence, your Junma Manor can't be in the clinic. If you don't have enough money, you can ask Zhen for it.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Alright, you may leave."
The two of them walked out of the residence hall and found that they were both covered in clothes. The cold wind outside blew through their clothes. Xiao Chu shivered. Seeing that Ni Huang was not wearing a cloak, he took off his cloak and draped it over Ni Huang without hesitation.
"Ni Huang, it's not good to catch a cold." Xiao Chu said with a smile.
Ni Huang's face turned slightly red when she heard Xiao Chu's address. Although the cloak was pure black, which Ni Huang did not like, she still tightened the cloak with a red face. He smiled and nodded at Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu smiled as well. He walked side by side with Ni Huang in the corridor of the palace. Looking at the sky where the dark clouds were gradually dispersing, Xiao Chu said leisurely,"The sky is always clear after a snowstorm. Ni Huang, your sky is also clear now, right?”
