"Ha." Si Haochen's operation surprised Mingruo, and Mingruo joked, "You brothers have such a good relationship, I didn't even have time to tell my grandma's family that I was safe."
"I'll report it for you." Si Haochen told Mingruo about the banquet held at the palace on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
Ming Ruo gave Si Haochen a thumbs-up gesture. This news was like killing two birds with one stone. Those who are close will be happy and those who are enemies will be in pain.
"Whatever you want to eat at the banquet, let Butler Zhou prepare it."
"This... we should prepare dishes that the guests like, right?" Mingruo said hesitantly.
"They do as they please," Si Haochen said matter-of-factly.
"Well, let's have hot pot and help promote Ziweiju." Hot pot is a new thing after all, and this is a good opportunity to expand the market in the elite circle.
"Just do as the princess says."
After Si Haochen finished eating, he changed his clothes and prepared to enter the palace.
"Would you like to go later? The emperor will probably have lunch at this time." Mingruo heard from Aunt Dong that the emperor would have lunch later than normal.
Because, on weekdays, you have to go to the morning early, and you can only have breakfast after the morning. If you eat breakfast late, lunch and dinner will naturally have to be postponed, and lunch will be eaten at about two o'clock in the afternoon.
Si Haochen entered the palace at this hour and caught up with the emperor to have a meal. He would have to wait there for who knows how long.
"He announces me as the king, and I will come to the palace. If he doesn't have time to summon him, that's his business, and I don't have time to wait." Si Haochen looked arrogant, "Anyway, I'm already full.
As for whether he is hungry or not, what does this have to do with me?"
Mingruo's face said 'convinced' in capital letters. What Si Haochen meant was that if Emperor Danxu dared to ignore him, he would dare to leave directly... As for the question of whether Emperor Danxu was hungry, Mingruo felt that
, seeing Si Haochen's lively young son, Emperor Danxu can be considered generous if he can eat.
Si Haochen put on his royal robes and wore a purple gold crown on his head, looking very majestic and majestic.
Mingruo took out a bottle of Yi Ling Dan and gave it to Si Haochen: "Take the little gourd I gave you as well."
"Tie a rope and hang it around my neck." Si Haochen threw the bag containing the gourd to Mingruo.
"Are you serious?" Mingruo didn't believe it.
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded, "Don't all amulets hang around your neck?"
"The effect of hanging it around the neck is indeed better." Mingruo found the sewing basket where Zi Su usually makes women's red silk, found a handful of dark green silk thread from it, and quickly made a lanyard and tied it on the gourd, "
alright."
Si Haochen did not pick it up, but lowered his head and motioned for Mingruo to put it on him. Mingruo put it on for him, stuffed it into his collar, and smoothed the clothes...
Although Si Haochen kept his head down the whole time, Mingruo still had to stand on tiptoes to operate more easily. After doing it, Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Growing so tall...what's the use except wasting fabric..." Mingruo firmly refused to admit that she was jealous of other people's long legs.
"Oh, it's my fault. Let's do this next time." Si Haochen picked up Mingruo with one hand, like a child.
Ming Ruo was instantly a head taller than Si Haochen and slapped him on the shoulder: "Put me down quickly. Men and women cannot kiss each other. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand." If he abides by etiquette, when will he be able to embrace this beauty? "I haven't decided yet, do you want to be my wife?"
"Yeah." Mingruo looked to the side, not daring to look at Si Haochen.
"What are you worried about?" Si Haochen still hugged Mingruo, "Why don't you tell me and I'll see if your worries are unfounded."
"I have very high requirements for my husband. The most important thing is loyalty..."
Before Ming Ruo finished speaking, Si Haochen spoke hurriedly: "Is it not true that I promise you two people for the rest of your life?"
"Of course it's calculated." However, Mingruo pointed out sharply, "But, I don't believe it."
"Then what should I do to make you believe it?" Si Haochen asked seriously.
"I just don't know how to be sure, so I have to consider it." Mingruo spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
"Whether I am loyal to you or not, no matter how much I say, only time can prove it." Si Haochen put Mingruo down and held her shoulders, "I always keep my word. If I can't do it, I won't do it."
Will promise.”
"But...many things cannot be decided by you." In fact, in modern times, even if the law stipulates monogamy, there are still many people who cheat.
What makes Mingruo feel uneasy is that in this world where the imperial power is overwhelming, Emperor Danxu can give Si Haochen a princess, then he can also give him a concubine, or even give him another princess... Jun Rangchen
If I die, I have to die. Not to mention marrying a wife?
"If you are worried about this, there is no need. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek in a good mood.
"Really?" Ming Ruo was doubtful. Si Haochen seemed not to take Emperor Danxu seriously, but...
"Well..." Si Haochen felt that maybe the little woman in front of him would be an exception. However, she needed to discover this by herself.
"Then I decided to date you." Ming Ruo said solemnly, as if he had made a major decision.
"'Dating'?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows. It didn't sound like he wanted to be his wife.
"It's just..." Si Haochen doesn't understand the idea of 'falling in love', "Well, you know how our childhood sweethearts can play together, right?"
"But, we have already missed the age of childhood sweethearts..." Although I think it is good to grow up with Mingruo, it is impossible for them to go back to their childhood.
"Age is not the key. We need to understand each other before we can judge whether we are suitable to be together."
"Then what if it's not suitable?" Si Haochen's eyes deepened.
"Then..." 'One shot, two breaks' is not elegant enough, so Mingruo changed the wording, "One parting, two lenient, everyone can be happy."
"Who do you want to be happy with?" Si Haochen narrowed his eyes.
"Beautiful man." Although I can't be sure who it is, I am a good-looking person, so he must be a handsome man.
"Isn't this king beautiful enough?" Si Haochen asked through gritted teeth.
"Are you familiar with Mr. Xu in the north of the city?" Ming Ruo asked with a smile.
Si Haochen's pupils narrowed: "Have you read "Warring States Policy"?" These are the books collected by the royal family of the previous dynasty. Although some of the books in the collection are scattered in the four countries, they are still in the hands of the emperor.
"I have read a few articles." After all, I have been taking Chinese classes for more than ten or twenty years, and I have learned a lot of various ancient Chinese essays here and there.
"I forgot that you like to read history books." Si Haochen placed a kiss on Mingruo's forehead, "I'll go to the palace first and wait for my return."
"Oh, okay." Mingruo touched her warm cheek.
Not long after Si Haochen left the mansion, Concubine Shen returned home in full ceremonial style.
"Princess, the concubine has returned home." Zisu came to report.
"..." As soon as she decided to date Si Haochen, her mother-in-law, who was trying her best to fill the house with a concubine, came back... Was her decision too hasty?
