Chapter 869 It seems like it might not be a bad idea?
Vice Minister Wu followed behind Xu Renjie with various worries in his heart, holding the invincible shield in his hand, ready to activate it at any time.
Princess Tianzhen's name was so famous that it could stop children from crying even inside the palace.
According to the information he had, the Sun and Moon Royal Family consisted of one main branch and eight sub-branches. Although there weren't many people, none of them dared to oppose Princess Tianzhen. Even the elders could only calmly discuss things with Princess Tianzhen.
Sometimes he wondered if Princess Tianzhen was deliberately left alone by His Majesty to test the attitudes of the various branches towards the main branch.
Just as Vice Minister Wu was lost in thought, Xu Renjie had already arrived at the waiting area where Xu Tianzhen's team was located.
"Ahem, His Majesty has decreed that Princess Tianzhen, Xu Tianzhen, receive the decree!"
The slightly immature voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention to Xu Renjie.
Xu Tianzhen rushed out, came to Xu Renjie, bowed and said, "As Your Majesty commands."
Xu Tianran's infamy is genuine; it was earned through violence, unlike the kind of infamy she earned through mere playfulness.
Xu Renjie glanced at Xu Tianzhen's teammates and, seeing that they were all quite far away, took out the Ye Nanxiao painting he had bought in advance and placed it in Xu Tianzhen's hands.
"Um?"
Xu Tianzhen looked puzzled. Wasn't this supposed to be announcing an imperial edict?
What is this thing being handed over?
A scroll painting?
Encouragingly, Xu Tianzhen opened the scroll in her hands, filled with doubts.
A handsome man, seemingly from heaven, leaps off the page. The curve of his lips, his languid eyes, his slender figure, and the excellent physique visible through his robes all exude a strong and captivating charm.
"Nanxiao!!!!"
Xu Tianzhen exclaimed in surprise, then quickly put away the scroll and asked, "Ahem, this... cousin, wasn't this supposed to be His Majesty's decree? Why are you giving me a scroll of my idol? Although I already have this scroll in my collection..."
Xu Renjie nodded his little head, took out the remaining scrolls, and handed them to Xu Tianzhen.
Xu Tianzhen was naturally delighted to accept it; this was her idol's painting, and she could collect as many as she wanted.
"Ahem, His Majesty's decree concerns Mr. Ye Nanxiao. Princess, please be prepared," Xu Renjie said in advance, giving Vice Minister Wu a wink.
Vice Minister Wu immediately understood, and his soul power spread out, surrounding the three of them and blocking their sound.
"By the eternal light of the sun and moon, the Radiant Emperor decrees: Princess Tianzhen, receive this decree. I have long heard of your exceptional virtue and beauty, your innate intelligence, and your son, who, imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth, has become a man of great talent and virtuous character. I intend to appoint Ye Nanxiao as the consort of the Sun and Moon Empire on your behalf, but Ye Nanxiao is not a citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire. This decree is to be obeyed by Princess Tianzhen. I hope that Princess Tianzhen will recruit talented individuals for the Empire..."
The imperial edict from the Ministry of Rites was written in a very complicated manner, and Xu Renjie spoke about it for a full seven or eight minutes.
Xu Tianzhen's face was flushed, steam was rising from her hair, and her eyes had turned into circles.
When she heard that Ye Nanxiao was to be her consort, her heart was already overloaded, her brain was dizzy, and she felt as if she had been hit by honey.
Is she going to be with her idol?
It seems like it might not be a bad idea after all!
Seeing Princess Tianzhen's demeanor, Xu Renjie immediately understood that the mission had been successfully completed.
Unexpectedly, Ye Nanxiao, the number one figure of our time, is also Princess Tianzhen's idol. Judging from Xu Tianzhen's appearance, he is a true fan.
"Princess Innocent? Princess Innocent, quickly receive the decree!" Vice Minister Wu whispered a reminder.
Others are still watching; His Majesty's dignity cannot be lost!
Upon hearing the reminder, Xu Tianzhen quickly took the imperial edict from Xu Renjie's hand, signifying that he was accepting the decree.
But in reality, this is completely impolite.
Vice Minister Wu was so embarrassed that his face contorted. He gripped his thigh tightly with his right hand, afraid that he might blurt out "unqualified," in which case he would become the unqualified one.
Xu Renjie wore a gentle smile as he looked at Xu Tianzhen's dazed expression. This mission had been successfully completed, but Xu Tianzhen's mission might not go smoothly.
On the way here, he briefly learned about Ye Nanxiao. This man not only possessed exceptional talent and martial spirit, but also led the once-declining Tang Sect to a powerful resurgence, forcibly squeezing into the ranks of the continent's top sects. Although he relied on the influence of Shrek Academy, it is undeniable that these were all means to an end.
"Princess Innocent, my mission is complete, so I'll take my leave now. However, His Majesty didn't specify the time or method for this mission. Please forgive my presumption, but this mission won't be too smooth, and it seems there's no need to complete the objective," Xu Renjie said, his eyes gleaming with a light beyond his years.
Xu Tianzhen blinked her big eyes and tilted her head slightly. "Huh? What do you mean?"
She couldn't understand the hidden meanings in those words. She recognized and understood each word individually, but when put together, they were like gibberish, completely incomprehensible to her.
Vice Minister Wu glanced at Xu Renjie a couple more times. This kid doesn't seem to be simple at all.
The imperial edict was only opened in front of Princess Tianzhen; there was no sign of it being opened before. This child learned the contents of the edict at the same time as Princess Tianzhen.
But in such a short time, he has already figured out the emperor's intention?
After listening to Xu Renjie's words, Vice Minister Wu thought about it carefully and realized that it really was just as Xu Renjie had analyzed!
This child! Innately intelligent! Could he possibly possess the potential to become the Grand Chancellor?
Xu Tianzhen glanced at Xu Renjie, who had a cute smile on his face, and then at Vice Minister Wu, who looked surprised. She frowned. How come these two understood, but she was still confused?
"Um, what's your name?" Xu Tianzhen asked, staring at Xu Renjie.
"I am Xu Renjie, a thirteenth-generation member of the Eighth Lineage." Xu Renjie bowed to Xu Tianzhen again and introduced himself earnestly.
"Hmm, cousin, which academy are you studying at now? At your age, it seems like you're just at the age to start school, right?" Xu Tianzhen reached out and rubbed Xu Renjie's head, trying to show off her status as his cousin.
Xu Renjie smiled slightly and said, "Sister, you wouldn't be thinking of making me your strategist, would you?"
Xu Tianzhen slapped Xu Renjie on the shoulder. "Hey! You guessed right! You're so smart! Come help your cousin!"
Xu Renjie grimaced and rubbed his shoulder. This innocent princess was surprisingly strong! She wasn't a beast spirit master, was she?
"But my cousin still needs to continue his studies."
"Your cousin will help you ask for leave!"
"But my cousin still needs to finish the studies assigned by Grandpa Liu and has to go to the ancestral hall to hand in his homework."
"My cousin will put in a good word for you! Grandpa Liu will give this princess face!"
"Yes, cousin sister, your cousin brother will definitely serve you wholeheartedly and do his best to plan for you!" Xu Renjie smiled brightly and showered Xu Tianzhen with compliments.
Vice Minister Wu stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He felt as if this kid was using the innocent princess to achieve his goal of not going to school.
Just then, Xu Renjie looked at Vice Minister Wu, blinked, and put his hand to his lips, making a shushing gesture.
Goodness, this kid just doesn't want to go to school and do his homework.
Vice Minister Wu said he was willing to lose his memory, as he would rather have never seen what just happened.
The latest novel is first published here!
That kid's too clever; he's probably already plotting how to get me to shut up willingly.
Given time, he will become the Grand Preceptor.
Xu Tianzhen happily put away Xu Tianran's imperial edict, took Xu Renjie's hand, and excitedly asked how the plan should proceed and how to get closer to Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing that his mission was accomplished, Vice Minister Wu bowed, took his leave, and departed.
Before leaving, he glanced back at the seemingly harmless Xu Renjie, muttering to himself, "How strange! In my thirty years as an official, I've never heard of such an outstanding talent among the younger generation of the royal family. Could it be that this child has been hiding his abilities until he gets his chance?"
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it."
Since Xu Tianran issued the secret order on a whim without going through any departments, Ju Zi was completely unaware of it.
But Ye Nanxiao instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"Hmm, my right eyelid keeps twitching."
Ye Nanxiao touched his right eyelid, suppressing his unease.
Strange, why am I starting to feel uneasy again?
Is that bastard Yuan Haisan plotting against me?
Wait a minute, if you calculate the time, how long has it been since Rong Nianbing went back?
A day in heaven is a year on earth.
Based on that, Rong Nianbing should have just finished running about 10 kilometers and is still leisurely walking back.
"Why are you squinting?" Jiang Nannan squeezed Ye Nanxiao's big hand. She could always sense changes in the latter's condition immediately.
"I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen to me. There are always some treacherous people trying to harm me!" Ye Nanxiao wrinkled his nose, quickly searching his mind for his enemies.
Now that I'm in Mingdu, there seem to be plenty of people who might have ill intentions towards me!
Insidious emperors, perverted vice-leaders, neurotic supreme leaders, and so on.
And then there's Xu Zhong, who was recently tricked by his own alt account. This guy still hasn't managed to unlock the safe in his underground warehouse, and the gift Xiao Ye No. 1 sent hasn't been activated.
"An enemy? Well, you're always running around like a fox, it's normal for someone to want to make a fox fur shawl out of you, isn't it, Mr. Troublemaker?" Jiang Nannan reached out and pinched Ye Nanxiao's nose, saying with dissatisfaction.
"Hey, how can we live a peaceful life when we're out in the world? I have to protect our future!" Ye Nanxiao pleaded.
He knew what Jiang Nannan was going to say next and was planning to preemptively shut the little rabbit down.
However, he and she knew each other very well.
"Shut up! I'll speak first! Wouldn't things be different if you took me with you? Look, I can control gravity, which will allow us to run away easily or annihilate the enemy! Aren't I strong now?" Jiang Nannan put one hand on her hip, hung on Ye Nanxiao's arm, and opened her mouth slightly, her small and cute front teeth about to bite down.
"Actually, I think you're in a safe and warm cradle, and the storms outside should be hitting my back instead of us." Ye Nanxiao smiled and held the beauty's small hand tightly.
I have nine tails to shelter me from the wind and rain, which is perfect for holding up nine umbrellas.
