Chapter 125 If you have something to say, say it now! If you have to fart, fart now!
The Imperial Observatory, who lived in the imperial palace, came over quickly.
As soon as he entered, he bowed to Emperor Tai'an and the Empress Dowager: "Your humble servant greets the Emperor. Long live His Majesty! I greet the Empress Dowager. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
"Be flat!"
"No gift!"
"I wonder what instructions the emperor has for me?" The chief of the Imperial Observatory bowed and asked respectfully.
"It's nothing serious!" Before the emperor could answer, the queen mother answered impatiently: "I just want you to choose a good day for the Sixth Prince to get married, the sooner the better!"
This sounds as if the bride is already pregnant and is anxious to get married.
The Imperial Observatory raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor, and found that the emperor was just sitting on the dragon throne solemnly, neither saying anything against nor agreeing.
This is -- it's difficult...
The Imperial Observatory bent even lower in embarrassment, wondering how to respond.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting next to the Emperor, kicked the Emperor's calf with her toes and glared at him: "Why don't you speak up! Why - my words don't work anymore?!"
Emperor Tai'an sighed helplessly: Just spoil your own mother! I have spoiled her for so many years, so today is not a big deal.
"Let's do as the Queen Mother said and see what the nearest auspicious time is before the New Year."
"I obey your order!" The Imperial Observatory responded with full confidence.
He stepped aside, twirling the fingers of his left hand around, muttering words that no one could understand, and calculated an auspicious date for the Sixth Prince and Miss Mu.
The Queen Mother smiled and said gently to Emperor Tai'an, "Emperor, when you ask Eunuch De to go and ask for the imperial decree, please bring Nanny Wang with you. I will go to the storehouse to pick out some good things for my lifesaver. Of course, you must prepare Qingqing's betrothal gift according to the standards of the eldest princess! Please explain it in detail to Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites later."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Emperor Tai'an just nodded.
I'm just afraid that my mother will do something else to embarrass me...
At this time, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had probably calculated a good date. He walked to the center, bowed and clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, I have calculated that the best auspicious time for the Sixth Prince and Miss Mu before the New Year is the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month."
"Ah."
Emperor Tai'an responded and added the date on the imperial edict.
"Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites, requests to see you~" At this time, the voice of a young eunuch singing was heard at the palace gate.
"Announce!" Emperor Tai'an nodded to Eunuch De, and Eunuch De announced loudly.
When the Minister of Rites, Lord Chen, came in, he bowed and said, "I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor! I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May she live you a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
"Be flat!"
"No gift!"
"Minister Chen, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has already calculated an auspicious time for the Sixth Prince and Miss Mu, which is the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. You will go back to the Ministry of Rites later and ask them to prepare a betrothal gift for Miss Mu according to the standards for the eldest princess. When Eunuch De goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the decree, you will arrange for officials from the Ministry of Rites to go there together and start the process of three matchmakers and six betrothals." The strong and steady voice of Emperor Tai'an came from behind the desk.
Minister Chen raised his head in surprise: What's going on? Didn't the Emperor dislike Miss Mu? Didn't the imperial edict granting Miss Mu marriage last time say that they would find a date to get married after the Sixth Prince returned to Beijing? Why did he change his mind again?
Although he had eight hundred questions in his mind, Lord Chen, a veteran who had worked in the officialdom for many years, continued to bow and clasp his fists and answered without changing his voice: "I obey your order!"
But my heart was bleeding: Judging from the emperor's reaction, this marriage is a done deal. The 10,000 taels of silver I bet at the gambling house... just flew away like that...
Seeing that everything was almost done, the old queen mother took Nanny Wang to her Ci'an Palace to go to her small storehouse to choose good things for Mu Qingqing...
After the matter was settled, Emperor Tai'an waved his hand and asked the Imperial Observatory and Lord Chen to leave.
Su Yunhao was left alone and continued to gossip about Miss Mu and the sixth brother.
. . . . . .
"Yawn!" Mu Qingqing sneezed loudly halfway on the way to Fanchen Courtyard. She touched her nose and said to herself: Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?
In the carriage, Zuo San, who was sitting opposite, reported to Mu Qingqing: "Miss Mu, there have been several waves of little rats coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few nights. They were all sent away by me and Zuo Si."
"Yeah, it's very well done." Mu Qingqing answered casually. Little mice and the like don't have much value. She is not interested.
"Regarding the rumors that have arisen on the street in the past two days, the master will send people to resolve them as soon as possible. Miss Mu does not need to worry." Zuo San said again in a serious tone.
"Well, I'm not worried. What should be worried about are those people behind the scenes who spread the rumors! Let me know who it is----hehe..." Mu Qingqing scratched her nose with the tip of her thumb and spoke in a low voice, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes.
Am I such an easy person to bully? Anyone who dared to slander me behind my back in my previous life -- the grass on his (her) grave has probably grown to the height of a person.
Zuo San touched his empty waist twice, opened and closed his mouth in response to Mu Qingqing's discovery, and then opened and closed his mouth again, repeating this several times. He looked at Mu Qingqing hesitantly, wondering whether he should discuss it with Miss Mu...
"What's the matter? If you have something to say, please say it! If you have something to say, please say it! How can a grown man be so hesitant like a young wife who has been wronged?" Mu Qingqing, who has a straightforward personality, hates those men who are hesitant and procrastinating. (Although Zuo San is not a man who is a hesitant, on the contrary - he is a straight man! But this kind of hesitant personality is really not pleasing to her)
No, just risk it! Zuo San encouraged himself and said loudly: "I just want to ask Miss Mu for another dagger!"
As he spoke, his handsome face suddenly turned red, and his head drooped: I suddenly regret it! I shouldn't have said it like that! How embarrassing! I've embarrassed the brothers in the Dark Guard Battalion...
Zuo San acted like an ostrich, his face blushing and he dared not look Mu Qingqing in the eye.
"Pah" Mu Qingqing threw the new dagger and coat on the small tea table in the middle of the carriage and said leisurely: "San'er, here, this new one is for you! I don't think it's a big deal! Why should I be embarrassed about it! If you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly! There is no need to hide and hesitate."
Zuo San touched the new dagger and stared at Mu Qingqing with shining eyes: "Is what Miss Mu said true? Can I really tell you everything directly?"
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows: Sister, isn't what I said clear enough? Do I need to repeat it again? !
"Well, well..." Zuo San hesitated twice, thinking that Miss Mu didn't like him to dither, he immediately continued while he still had the courage: "Miss Mu, I really like the folding crossbow you gave to Xiao Si."
"Huh~~" After saying that, Zuo San let out a long sigh and thought to himself: I finally said it out.
"Hey, what do you think it is?!" Mu Qingqing shook her long legs and said in a rude voice, "I prepared everything for you that night, but you didn't want it. Here. Give it to you."
Mu Qingqing said as she took out a new folding crossbow from her arms and placed it directly in Zuo San's hand.
Now it was Zuo Si's turn to be upset: his folding crossbow had been confiscated, but he didn't expect that the shameless Zuo San could get a new one with just a few words!
He stood up with a "whoosh" and was hit by the top of the carriage with a "bang". I forgot that it was Zuo Si who was on the carriage.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Zuo Si rubbed his head and a few drops of saline solution flowed out in pain.
