Reject what?
What on earth had she done to make these people misunderstand? How could she be an imperial censor? A good-for-nothing like her could never be an imperial censor or a military governor.
Tang Youyou cleared her throat and looked at the group of people in the distance. She said respectfully, "Everyone here, I know you must be worried about your daughters' marriage. But I have to say that I'm just an ordinary civilian, not an imperial censor or military governor. If you're looking for the khan, just go out the main gate, turn left and then right. Don't come to me to propose marriage. It's quite scary."
Tang Youyou's speech caused an uproar among the people present. They all looked at her as if she were crazy, blinking their eyes at her.
They seemed to have expected Tang Youyou to say this. They all looked dejected. When asked the reason, they refused to say.
Tang Youyou wasn't in a hurry. She simply moved a chair and sat on the platform in front of the room, quietly watching these "gossiping" ministers chattering away like actors on a stage.
It was truly wonderful!
She finally understood that three men could also make a show. With so many men chattering away, their fighting power was no less than that of women.
Tang Youyou found their voices so noisy that she picked her ears and said casually, "I said, my dear ministers, if you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly. My place is too small to accommodate all of you capable people."
Tang Youyou's words were full of sarcasm. As she spoke, she scanned everyone present with a disdainful look.
As she was speaking, she made a gesture of invitation, and only then did the people in the courtyard leave reluctantly one by one.
One old man was even more absurd. He shook his head like a rattle and kept sighing.
"Alas, this once great Western Region country is completely finished. Our king has actually become a king with a fondness for male beauties. This is truly absurd!"
As he was speaking, another voice chimed in from the other side, "Who says it isn't? So many ministers have introduced their daughters, but this Imperial Censor Tang didn't even take a fancy to one of them. This..."
"This clearly shows that he still has designs on His Majesty. What should we ministers do with such a person?"
The brows of several old men were almost knitted together. They were practically wearing their unhappiness on their faces.
Tang Youyou took note of what these people had said. It seemed that she had to go and ask Rong Jiangyu about this.
The next day, Tang Youyou got up very early.
Even the old man who usually got up early was shocked to see Tang Youyou getting up early for once.
When something seems abnormal, there must be a reason.
The old man was still angry about Tang Youyou's rebellious behavior the day before, but Tang Youyou acted as if nothing had happened. She waved and greeted the old man in front of her.
"What are you doing? Do you think that by greeting me like this, you can wipe out what happened yesterday? I'm telling you, absolutely not!"
Seeing that the old man was still sulking, Tang Youyou joked, "I was impulsive yesterday and went out without listening. It was my fault to make Grandpa angry. Please don't be angry."
Seeing that Tang Youyou had finally softened her attitude, the old man finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, alright. Since you've already admitted your mistake, let's continue our studies today. I've taught so many people, but I've never seen a student as stubborn as you. If it weren't for the fact that you're..."
The old man's muttering stopped halfway when he saw a man walking in through the door. The man was wearing a golden dragon robe and seemed to be in a hurry. It seemed that he had come here right after the court session.
Tang Youyou nodded at Rong Jiangyu and said, "Your Majesty, may you be in good health."
Rong Jiangyu was slightly startled at first, then he smiled gently and said, "Brother Tang, is there something you need? You even sent someone to call me."
Tang Youyou shook her head and told Rong Jiangyu everything that had happened the previous night. She knew that with Rong Jiangyu's vengeful nature, he would never let these court ministers off.
But unexpectedly, the man actually laughed the next second.
He nodded and said calmly, "Perhaps it's my fault that I didn't explain things clearly to them, which gave them the opportunity to approach Brother Tang. This is my oversight."
However, no matter how much he talked, Rong Jiangyu never said what Tang Youyou wanted to hear.
"However, I just want to know why these people are so sure that Your Majesty has a fondness for male beauties?"
Tang Youyou was really confused. She never thought that such a thing would happen to her one day. If this got out, it would be a huge scandal.
But Rong Jiangyu still didn't seem to care. He nodded and said to himself, "I really didn't handle this matter well. Please give me some time."
As soon as he said this, Tang Youyou was completely stunned. This man had completely ignored her words.
Before Tang Youyou could say anything, Rong Jiangyu left in a hurry.
Yeyue, who had been watching the whole process quietly in the distance, shook his head. He walked towards Tang Youyou and said helplessly, "Young Master Tang, please accept my condolences. Maybe you really have to sacrifice your looks this time."
What he said was true. The ministers who came here last night were probably afraid that their monarch really had a fondness for male beauties, so they tried to approach Tang Youyou.
But they didn't expect that Tang Youyou would reject them. And since she couldn't sacrifice her looks, these things would never stop.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou sat down on the stone bench. She was like a deflated ball, sitting there motionless.
"What kind of bad luck have I had? I just had a meal here. Do they really want me to get married? Besides, I don't even have the ability to get married!"
Her words instantly made Tang Jun and Yeyue burst out laughing after holding it in for a long time.
Tang Youyou looked at the two of them in surprise and asked curiously, "You two..."
Yeyue waved his hands quickly. Fortunately, he managed to control his expression. But the old man Tang was different. The old man patted Tang Youyou's thin shoulder. Although his words were full of concern, they were also full of mockery.
"It seems that our great leader is going to have a fling with many women this time. After all this, you'll be a real man."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou immediately stared into the old man's eyes.
