The emperor seemed to be asking Ming Shu for suggestions. But actually, he was giving her orders.
Either he married Cheng Jinxiu or King Huai picked someone by himself. In short, he must be married within a period of one month.
King Huai didn't make promises, responding with silence. But the emperor took the silence as agreement, and he let them go in short order.
See? If someday your boss is telling you something like "I was thinking about..." or "What do you say...", then he usually already had a decision in mind.
So...
Why the hell did he call me here?
King Huai left a bit earlier than Ming Shu, but when Ming Shu came out, he was still standing at the door.
"Why help me again?" he asked.
Ming Shu took out a pack of candy while walking unhurriedly to "her" uncle. She answered in a delighted tone, "To show my thanks, Uncle, for sending me back. I am a good, grateful child."
Her eyes and eyebrows were both curved in a tender smile, which was like the gentle spring breeze of March, blowing over the rivers and rippling the water.
It was not that kind of simple and childish smile though. On the contrary, she was very smart.
"It was Ye Cong's idea to send you back, don't thank me. Just mind your own business." King Huai temporarily set aside his doubts toward Ming Shu, walking with his hands behind him.
Ming Shu tilted her head, amused, a candy bar in her mouth. What an arrogant man!
But are you sure you're sniffing at the right person? If you're really capable, just rise in rebellion.
Where're my snacks!
There was only one road leading out of the royal study room, so Ming Shu had to follow behind King Huai while eating. But halfway there, she was attracted by the lotus in the imperial garden, and ran to pick the lotus seeds, parting ways with King Huai.
The seedpod of the lotus was in the middle of the pond. There were no boats or tools, which gave Ming Shu another chance to use the prophecy ability.
[...] If the predecessors of the prophecy ability know that the Guest would use prophecy to gain food, they might have jumped out of the coffin to kill her.
"Except for getting food, what else can this skill do?" She had tried to "predict" that the emperor would die or the imperial palace would disappear, but none of these great prophecies had been realized. This skill was just for bragging.
[There is a clear distinction between prophecy and spiritualism. You shouldn't use prophecy as a spiritual technique.] The Harmony System was speechless. It absolutely couldn't understand the Guest using prophecy as a spiritual technique, trying to "change" what was going to happen.
#The Guest always has a way to update the usage of a skill#
"It doesn't matter."
Snacks are justice.
In this view, this skill is very useful, but it'll be better if the time could be shortened a little.
Ming Shu ate lotus seeds leisurely at the pond, gathering a bunch of brightly colored koi around her feet. This kind of fish didn't taste good, but they just kept showing off in front of Ming Shu, which almost roused her appetite. She stared at the koi, wondering about how to eat them.
