Chapter 475 Tang Travel (17)
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, have you finished your homework for today?"
"Sister, I came out after finishing my homework. I was worried about you, so I came out to check on you."
"What could be wrong with me? No, there is something wrong, where's the monkey?"
"Your Highness, Mr. Sun said he sent that little monk away."
"Then let's wait for him to come back. I wonder if he recorded a video for me or not. I almost forgot about it," Wangyou murmured.
Sun Wukong returned quickly. Upon hearing Wangyou mention the video, he immediately took it out, as he had almost forgotten about it.
"Monkey, I've discovered you're quite the talent. The way you've arranged the Five Finger Mountain is truly bizarre, with all sorts of hand gestures." Wangyou laughed as she looked at it.
"It's all thanks to the cultivation technique you gave me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get my revenge."
"Of course." Wangyou smiled smugly and continued watching.
"You really are handsome. You're definitely not the monkey you used to be."
"You've never seen me, Old Sun, back then, how would you know?"
"Of course it's just a guess. You definitely weren't as composed back then as you are now. You would have just grabbed your stick and gone for it."
"Well... you're absolutely right. Back then, I, Old Sun, was clumsy with words and was a stone monkey, so they all looked down on me. I earned my title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven through fighting." Sun Wukong said with a face full of emotion when he mentioned those days.
"As the saying goes, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories. Take a look, this is your family's account book for this year. You can look at your own account book yourself!" After watching the video, Wangyou decisively dismantled the bridge.
"No, I'm just a monkey, what am I supposed to look at ledgers for? Don't go, at least leave me someone to help!"
"Go find Qingxuan and ask him to help you sort it out," Wangyou said, waving her hand without turning her head.
Wukong lowered his head and thought for three seconds. In the spirit of "better to die than to die myself," he took a large stack of account books and went to find Qingxuan, who was not yet eight years old.
Looking at the huge stack of account books, the child sighed helplessly. His older sister had given him a stack a few days ago, and Master Sun had given him another stack today. He was still just a child!
Qingxuan felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. He thought about how his older sister had been planning for herself since she was three, had taken control of the surrounding economy by the age of five, and had become the wealthiest person in the Tang Dynasty by the age of ten. He was still far behind his older sister, so he should continue to work hard.
After venting his emotions a little, Qingxuan diligently began to examine the account books.
He knew very well that this was not just an account book, but also the trust placed in him by his sister and Mr. Sun, and he dared not be careless.
"Monkey, do you think it's possible for another Human Emperor to emerge in the human realm?" Standing atop the Star-Picking Tower, looking at the golden dragon of fortune on the horizon, Wangyou couldn't help but ask.
"Perhaps, but it will take time. Although the fortune of the West has now flowed to the East, the gods and Buddhas will no longer allow the human race to continue to be on equal footing with them. Otherwise, there would have been the Investiture of the Gods."
“Yes, the gods and Buddhas wouldn’t allow it, and there has never been another emperor since King Zhou of Shang, but if Heaven allows it, then it’s fine,” Wangyou said with a grin.
"What agreement did you reach with the Heavenly Dao?"
"Actually, there's no real agreement. We just hope it's fair and just. If we can recuperate for a thousand or eight hundred years, perhaps we can regain the strength of the Human Emperor. However, this will require the diligent governance of successive emperors."
Aren't you going to give them a push?
"I'm not going to get involved. The fact that there will be no more emperors is ultimately humanity's own doing. If we want to go back, we'll have to rely on their efforts. I won't get too involved. If I'm not worthy of the position, I won't be able to hold onto it."
"You're right. I wish I had been as insightful as you back then."
"It's good that you've thought it through. What are your plans for the future?"
"I have no plans. I have a long lifespan, so I'll stay with you for now. After you're gone, I'll go back to Flower Fruit Mountain."
"Aren't you planning to find a partner and have a baby to play with? Why don't you have one sooner so I can have some more fun?" Wangyou suddenly said, her eyes shining.
"What are you saying? I, Old Sun, am a super single monkey, and I'm not looking for a partner!" Sun Wukong's monkey face turned red.
"Don't be shy, I really want to see the little monkey you and your future partner will have. Otherwise, if I leave, I might never have the chance to see it again. The little monkey born to the Monkey King must be very handsome," Wangyou said excitedly.
"Um, I just remembered that a magical monkey was born on Flower Fruit Mountain today, I have to go and see." Sun Wukong flew away in a flash.
"Oh! Why did he run away again? It would be so nice if he had a baby for me to play with." Wangyou was quite disappointed, but she respected his decision and let nature take its course.
"Your Highness, are you really going to let Mr. Sun find a partner?" Caohua suddenly asked shyly.
"What's wrong? You like monkeys?" Wangyou asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, no, I'm just curious. I'm not qualified at all. Many noble ladies in Chang'an like Mr. Sun. If you let Mr. Sun get married, could I also take a look at the monkeys he has?" Cao Hua said in a serious tone.
"Hahahaha, you'd better watch out, or the monkey will come after you."
"Really, Your Highness, putting aside the issue of race, Mr. Sun is a really good match. He is warm-hearted, easy-going, loves to stand up for the weak, and is very emotionally stable. Even if someone bothers him too much, he will at most say 'So annoying,' which is very cute. If Mr. Sun had a baby monkey, it would be even cuter."
"Wow, I never expected Sun Wukong to be so popular here. Does he have so many good qualities?" Wangyou asked, puzzled. Monkeys rarely walk in their original form in the human world, so his face is truly handsome.
"Of course, although Mr. Sun is often not in Chang'an, his legend is everywhere in Chang'an."
"Then tell me, what are they saying about me in Chang'an?"
“He said he was handsome, dashing, and charming… Ah, Your Highness, are you asking me to say you?” Cao Hua finally realized what she meant after speaking for a while.
"Yeah, but you didn't praise me at all, you only praised that stinky monkey!"
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. There are so many praises for you in Chang'an. You're the most beautiful woman in the world, the most talented woman, the most outstanding princess, and the greatest philanthropist in the world..."
"Forget it, you'd better not say anything more." Hearing the description of "grass flowers," Wangyou really couldn't stand it anymore. Couldn't they have used a better idiom?
"Your Highness, you're not angry, are you?"
"No, what do you think about me choosing male concubines?"
“The officials of all ranks in Chang’an will definitely send all their unmarried eligible men to your residence!” Cao Hua said without hesitation.
"Has this princess not left the house in a long time? I'm already out of touch with the times." Wangyou's pupils dilated as she looked at Caohua with great surprise.
"Of course, who are you? You are the one and only Princess Zhenguo, the only one of its kind in the world. If it weren't for your majesty, and the fear that their unannounced visit would offend your eyes, the threshold of our Princess's residence would have been worn down long ago."
