"Your Highness is the heir to the throne, and he cannot be treated simply. I, as your minister, need to prepare some things, as well as bathe and fast. I cannot be careless at all. If I mess up, I'm afraid the calculations will be inaccurate." Lord Yuan saw the impatience in the prince's heart and comforted him with a smile.
Pei Luoan exhaled forcefully, hiding the last trace of unhappiness in his eyes, and when he spoke again, there was no trace of concern in his eyes.
"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Yuan. This marriage is different from the last one. I... always think about it... I'm not the same person as before when I get married again, so I don't have so many thoughts. I just want to speed up the process as my father said, so as not to delay the marriage of my uncle and my second brother."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind!" Lord Yuan didn't know how to respond to this and could only answer with a smile. He couldn't praise the Crown Prince for this behavior, as his words sounded like he didn't care at all about the current Crown Princess.
"I'll leave the note here." Pei Luoan stood up.
"I am the minister who is here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off." Lord Yuan also hurriedly stood up to see him off.
Pei Luoan shook his hand, turned around and strode away.
Watching the prince leave, Lord Yuan sat down again and looked silently at the engagement letter in front of him, which was from the prince and the future princess, Lady Jingyu.
"Master, should we offer this post first?" The servant who was following beside him was Master Yuan's new apprentice. Looking at his master's silent face, he asked cautiously.
Before calculating, the Gengtie must be offered for a few days. This is the royal rule.
"Take another look." Lord Yuan said, his eyes still on the note from Lady Jingyu County in front of him. The note from the former Crown Princess that he had just read was in his mind, and comparing the two, he always felt that something was strange.
Why did the former Crown Princess have a life-and-death experience and a phoenix-like rebirth in her fate? And what seemed even stranger was that this post was a little different from the ones I had calculated before.
Lord Yuan leaned his head back. He had calculated the fates of the Crown Prince and the former Crown Princess before, and although the fates seemed to be compatible, they were not completely consistent.
The reason why he remembered it so clearly was mainly because he knew that he had never seen such a fate of nine deaths and one rebirth. Since he had never seen it before, the Gengtie that the previous Crown Princess brought was not this Gengtie.
The fact that the prince could take it alone and was so concerned about it, and seeing that there were traces of special handling on the edge of the paper of the Geng Tie, it can be seen that the prince used to take it out to look at it from time to time in the past. It also shows that the note really belonged to the first Crown Princess.
But I haven’t seen it myself.
What did I say at that time? It seemed to be a few words in code, indicating that it was a match made in heaven, rare in a thousand years, but that it was necessary to be careful and cautious in order to prosper.
In that match, the prince and the person in the Geng match were not truly a match made in heaven.
The person who delivered the anniversary letter was an official of the Eastern Palace, but the one who took it back was another official. There seemed to be nothing different in this, but Lord Yuan sensed something different from the usual.
He sighed heavily and told his apprentice to put away all the notices. The matter was over and there was no need to mention it again. All he had to do was follow the rules.
As for whether it was really according to the rules, Lord Yuan was actually helpless. Just like the previous marriage arrangement, the Crown Prince should have come first, followed by the King of England, but the King of England took the lead, and the Crown Prince expressed his intention to give in. The Emperor did not say anything, so what could he, an Imperial Observatory official, say
But the two release notes of the King of England were really good, so good that he dared not say anything...
It can only be a match made in heaven, and now the prince is
When the time comes, I will know how to phrase it so that it sounds more appealing.
Royal affairs, even things like this, are no small matter and must be treated with caution.
"To outsiders, the matter of fortune-telling is just a small matter, but to the royal family, it is a major event that will prosper for thousands of years. Remember not to underestimate it, and don't be self-righteous." Lord Yuan taught his little apprentice as he walked in.
The young disciple walked beside him holding the Gengtie, nodding repeatedly.
"Those who can bring good luck must bring good luck. As long as they are not extremely ominous, the others are fine. But we can give a careful reminder. Then if something really happens, it can't be blamed on us. We are just a humble government office. We don't have that much power, but we have to protect ourselves."
Master Yuan continued to teach.
"Master, I understand that it is impossible to say everything clearly when speaking. It is enough to convey the meaning. If someone wants to find fault with us, they will not be able to find it. For things like weddings, since we have already chosen each other and it is not a bad omen, it is all good things, all great good things."
The young disciple tilted his head and recited again what Master Yuan had said to him before.
Lord Yuan adjusted his beard with satisfaction and nodded with a smile.
What kind of a sign of great disaster is considered a sign of great disaster? It means destroying the family and the country. It is far from that now, so there is no need to panic. After all, it is the world of their Pei family, and it will be prosperous in the future.
As for who the future master will be, it can only be one of a few people, and it can be...
"Disciple, the wind is strong ahead, be careful to put away the post." Master Yuan looked at the passage ahead, which was facing the wind vent and there was nothing blocking it. He was afraid that the post in his little disciple's hand would be blown away.
"Master, don't worry. I'll just put the note in my sleeve and nothing will happen to me." The young disciple said hastily, straightening his chest.
"That's good. We have to keep it safe! If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility." Lord Yuan put his hands behind his back and walked out with three steps. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky. "It's going to rain. The weather has changed!"
The weather was fine just now, but now it is full of dark clouds. It's winter, but it's like summer. The weather changes at any time.
Is it going to snow
Qu Moying was already preparing to go to Liu Mansion without Qu Zhizhen's preparation.
In front of so many people, Minister Liu would not disagree. Moreover, if his idea was the same as his father's, then this matter would be a good way for him to clear himself.
At least it can silence the gossips of the people. As for whether Madam Liu will say anything, no one will believe that Madam Liu cannot deal with a little girl like Qu Moying.
It will make her really ask something.
So, not long after Qu Zhizhen returned home, Qu Moying received an invitation from Liu Jingyu.
This is a proactive attack.
The two families had no contact, and Qu Moying suddenly took the initiative to visit. Although it was acceptable, it would inevitably make people think too much, and some thoughts might not be beneficial to the Liu family. But now that Liu Jingyu has come forward, both parties are going to marry into the royal family. One has a higher status and the other is older in generation, but before they get married, they are considered equal.
If two parties want to be friendly, one is willing to invite and the other is willing to go, which is also reasonable.
This is the best way for both parties. Qu Moying was not surprised that Liu Jingyu would choose this way. When Liu Jingyu took the initiative to come to her house and explained the matter to her, she felt that things had changed.
Like a person.
It would be the best if we could save face for both families now!
After lunch, Qu Moying said goodbye to Qu Zhizhen and took his men out of the house to Shangshu Liu's house.
The reason why he wanted to say goodbye to Qu Zhizhen was also his idea. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded him to get along well with Liu Jingyu.
In response to this, Qu Moying sneered in his heart. This cheap father was playing the emotional card, and was afraid that he would really fall out with the Liu family, so he kept reminding him again and again out of concern.
After the carriage stopped at the parking lot of the Liu Mansion, Liu Jingyu had already sent a maid to guard there. When she saw Qu Moying getting off the carriage, she hurriedly came over with a smile.
"This servant has greeted Miss Qu Si. Our county lord has something to do and asked this servant to come and pick you up first."
"What's the matter?" Qu Moying asked.
"The palace just sent a nanny here. She was sent by the Empress to discuss matters concerning the marriage etiquette between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and our county lady. Our county lady is unable to leave for the moment, so she asked me to take Miss Qu Si to meet our lady first." The old woman said with a smile.
The Queen Mother sent someone over, so she naturally couldn't disturb them.
The original purpose was to meet Madam Liu. Liu Jingyu's invitation was just for outsiders to see. Now that I have entered the Liu Mansion, I might as well go directly to the destination.
"Thank you!" Qu Moying nodded.
"Miss Qu Si, you are too polite!" The old woman said with a smile, leading the way in front. Qu Moying and her servant followed behind. Her hand was still injured. Although she had used good medicine and it had basically healed now, she still didn't dare to walk fast and walked forward at a speed a little slower than usual.
The old woman seemed to know that Qu Moying would walk slowly, so she walked very slowly, and while walking, she introduced the scene of Minister Liu's mansion to Qu Moying.
In terms of the entire place, Shangshu Liu's Mansion is much larger than Qu's Mansion, but if the East Mansion and the West Mansion are integrated, Shangshu Liu's Mansion seems a little smaller.
After all, it is a person's mansion. It can be said that the residence of Minister Liu is very well-behaved and there is not the slightest transgression.
The pavilions and towers are gorgeous yet elegant, without being too ostentatious. They allow people to see the big picture from the small details, and they think that Minister Liu is very good.
After walking for a while, I looked ahead and realized that we hadn't arrived yet.
"Madam Liu lives far away?" Qu Moying suddenly asked after the old woman finished introducing a scene. They had passed the center along the way, but they had not yet reached Madam Liu's courtyard.
"Madam likes quietness. Since she got married, she has been living in the yard near the backyard, which is the quietest place in the entire mansion." said the old woman.
"It hasn't been changed in all these years?" Qu Moying asked after a moment of silence.
Whose mistress doesn't live in the courtyard on the central axis of the mansion? Even if the relationship between this Lord Liu and Madam Liu is not so harmonious, since he married Madam Liu, it means that he cares about the Duke of Qi's Mansion behind Madam Liu, and he dare not treat Madam Liu badly by letting her live in such a remote place.
If it wasn't Lord Liu's intention, then it must be Madam Liu's
"This mansion has remained unchanged for all these years?" Yu Dong asked curiously, looking around.
"This was our lady's dowry. Naturally it has never been changed over the years." The old woman replied with a smile.
At that time, Lord Liu actually had no foundation, but Madam Liu was different. So the layout here was originally arranged by Madam Liu, including living in such a remote place
Sure enough, after seeing the large courtyard, Qu Moying's guess was confirmed...
