Qingzhu continued: "Master, tell me, they don't really think you like old women, right?"
If he hadn't seen with his own eyes how things happened, Qingzhu himself probably wouldn't have been able to guarantee whether he would have misunderstood the news that Prince Chong personally went to ask Emperor Mingguang for an order.
"Otherwise, what do you think?"
"That's because they haven't seen Old Mrs. Yao. When they see Old Mrs. Yao, they will understand why the master must be Old Mrs. Yao." Qingzhu said with a look of certainty, "Old Mrs. Yao has been in the past few years.
She is so well maintained, my servant is looking at it, there are not many ladies in the whole capital who can overpower her."
"That's why I'm so anxious to get married. I want to marry someone into my family. But the Chief of Ceremonies has been going through the process, and I'm almost bored to death."
"There's nothing you can do about it. The wedding robe must be made freshly. When a prince gets married, he can't wear the wedding robe worn by others, right? Moreover, Jinling is so far away from the capital, and it would take a lot of time for the Supervisor of Ceremonies to send someone there.
It's been a month since I've been going back and forth. We still need to purchase materials and let the embroiderer make clothes, which will take at least another month... There are also other bits and pieces, if not many things have been prepared in advance.
, I guess it can be postponed until the end of the year." Qingzhu only found out after Li Wenchong was preparing to get married that there were so many procedures to go through before the prince got married.
Because it is a private wedding, the process of checking the bride is omitted, but you still have to put on a show.
Therefore, after Emperor Mingguang issued the decree, last year the Supervisor of Ceremonies sent someone to Jinling to measure Mrs. Yao.
The prince's palace is ready-made, but for the big day, it has to be decorated, right?
In addition, when Prince Chong's mansion was renovated before, the backyard was destined to be a decoration and the construction was relatively careless. This time we really welcomed the mistress, so we naturally had to be well prepared.
What's more important is that as the mistress enters the door, there is also a young master.
Outsiders don't know that Master Yao Jiu is Li Wenchong's biological son, but those who serve him personally know it, so the young master's yard must be tidied up separately. If other princes have it, Master Yao Jiu must also have it.
After this calculation, the design of Prince Chong's Mansion was revised again and again, and this alone was sent back several times.
Renovation of the palace cannot be accomplished in a day or two.
Therefore, Li Wenchong went to the inner government office and the ceremonial supervisor every day. What was he urging? What he was urging was that he hoped that they would start the work more efficiently so as not to delay his auspicious day.
Li Wenchong sent people to check the people behind Mr. Zhou, but before they could find out, Emperor Mingguang's work was discovered.
Suddenly he knew clearly that several princes were probably involved in this matter.
There was no choice but to go to the palace again and Li Wenchong complained to Emperor Mingguang: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
What should I do if I'm gone?"
Emperor Mingguang, who was sitting behind the dragon case, had veins popping out of his forehead: "Where did you learn to curse like a shrew? Just be normal."
Li Wenchong shed his tears and knelt down seriously: "I'm not wrong, your son just bullied me. Don't think you helped them get rid of it, I didn't know. Humph! When I saw you were there,
I knew it must have been them. Then I calculated who I had become enemies with, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... Even a fool knows who it is."
Emperor Mingguang stared at him: "You have the nerve to say that? You stare at Nineteen all day long, and you always come to me to complain and slap him. He is a prince who also wants to save face. How can he not bear grudges against you? You also know that they are
My son, you are an elder, why don’t you know how to give in to them?”
"What am I, my elder? Compared with your eldest son, I'm still two years younger. Brother, please don't fool me. I won't do this."
"I didn't ask you to compete with the eldest prince, I asked you to compete with Nineteen..."
Before Emperor Mingguang finished speaking, Li Wenchong said: "Oh, brother, just tell me, what should I do about this matter? He has bullied me like this, and even sent some old women to me to insult me.
, you won’t help me find my place, will you?”
"I put him in solitary confinement."
"So, he plotted against me so much that he put me in solitary confinement?" Li Wenchong looked incredulous, indicating that Emperor Guang was partial.
Emperor Mingguang said, "My heart is so biased towards you, so why should I be biased? Let Li Wenchong get up and don't break his knees. He is not in good health. If he kneels again, he will break his knees."
If I want to go out and have a good time, I will have no legs to run.
Li Wenchong looked resentful: "Brother Emperor, you are cursing me. I didn't expect Brother Emperor to be such a person. Ever since I was little, all I have been thinking about is Brother Emperor. Even if I have some good things, I also think about Brother Emperor. Brother Emperor actually misses my legs."
It's useless, so you won't run around everywhere..."
Emperor Mingguang was a little dumbfounded: "Why do you always misinterpret my words? Tell me, what do you want to do this time?"
After such a long time of turmoil, why didn't he understand what Li Wenchong was trying to do?
He said he was looking for a place, so he probably saw something else and wanted Emperor Mingguang to let go.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Wenchong opened his mouth, he asked for several craftsmen.
Emperor Mingguang was extremely helpless: "There are only so many craftsmen in my royal manufacturing office. You said, you have left dozens of them before and after, and you are almost going to kill those two or three hundred people. You
Why do you need so many craftsmen? Didn’t you say that the craftsman’s workshop in the hands of Mrs. Yao is so powerful that it can even compare to my royal manufacturing office?”
"The competition is over, but I don't mind that there are too many people." Li Wenchong said matter-of-factly, "Anyway, I can afford it, so I can bring a few more. When the emperor stays there, he will only give a few things to the concubine and the prince."
Gadgets, but give them to me, I can give them to Qing Ling, and then her craftsman’s workshop will be able to make more good things. For example, the fan, isn’t that fan very useful to my brother?”
He raised his chin and motioned Emperor Mingguang to look at the rotating fan next to him.
Not to mention, since he got this fan and a cup of spiritual tea, Emperor Mingguang's life has indeed become more and more comfortable. He doesn't like to run to the harem anymore.
I had no choice but to ask the concubine for a fan as soon as I saw her.
He only has one or two, so he carries them wherever he goes, so how can he have any extra ones?
It's not that Emperor Mingguang didn't think about Li Wenchong, but Li Wenchong said: "I don't have any anymore. Apart from keeping one for myself, I will give the rest away. Except for the emperor's brother, Chengjun Prince's Mansion must give one away. People are sincere."
The prince is helping the emperor with his work outside, so I can't treat his family badly. There is also the eldest prince's mansion. When the Yao family was in trouble, the eldest prince's mansion helped, so I must remember his kindness..."
After giving away seven, seven, eight and eighty, Li Wenchong really only left the last one in his hand.
If Emperor Mingguang really wanted it, he wouldn't be able to ask Jinling to send some more, but if he sent them again they would be made of wood.
The bit of steel Li Wenchong asked for was all turned into gears and has long been used up.
Steel was made using a new steel-filling method. Emperor Mingguang's own weapons inspectors were not enough, so how could there be any excess for others?
