Guo Yuan, who was looking up and looking around, quickly looked away.
Zhike opened the door and Guo Yuan hurriedly lowered his head and went in.
"Sit down."
A young male voice said.
Guo Yuan did not dare to raise his head and sit down on his knees. All he could see was the delicate patterns on the ground.
"Are you Guo Fuzhi from Si Tiantai?"
Guo Yuan bowed and said yes.
"You figured out there was going to be a lunar eclipse?"
Guo Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking of the bloody scene where he was scolded by Sitiantai officials this morning and the mistakes they pointed out.
"You have only studied for a few days! Can you predict the zodiac and the zodiac?"
"Students know a little bit..."
"Know a little! It's true that the ignorant are fearless!"
Maybe it's really wrong.
"It's okay, just go ahead and say it. You just say it and I just listen."
Guo Yuan gritted his teeth.
"Yes, the student calculated that there will be a lunar eclipse on the 15th," he said, "but it is most likely wrong and the student doesn't know."
"I don't know." The young male voice said, "That's easy to handle. I'll ask you for it. I'll tell you when I'm done."
Ask?
Who to ask?
Guo Yuan subconsciously raised his head and saw a young man in splendid robes stepping out from in front of him. The corners of his clothes flew up, confusing his sight.
Guo Yuan turned his head blankly and looked at the banquet in front of him.
What a rich and gorgeous dish.
He has been in the capital as a student at Si Tiantai for three years, and this is the first time he has seen such delicacies.
He had never had the opportunity to step into such a high-end formal store.
I wonder if this noble man paid the bill just now...
Here Guo Yuan was in confusion over the dishes, and over there the King of Jin'an County had already got on the carriage.
"Your Highness, are you going to ask Mrs. Cheng?" the chamberlain asked in a low voice.
Prince Jin'an glanced at him.
"Of course you have to ask," he said, smiling, "but it's not me who asks."
The waiter nodded suddenly.
Making others smart is the smartest thing.
Especially when this other person is still an emperor.
There have been a lot of happy events recently, the court meetings are rarely free of quarrels, and the emperor is sitting in the Qinzheng Hall in rare peace.
"Why don't we go to Concubine An's place? She said recently that she doesn't like to eat." The waiter said from the side.
The emperor nodded.
"Why don't you like to eat?" he said, "ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at it."
The waiter responded.
"Call the kabuki people again." The emperor thought of something else and said, "Let's go to An Fei's place together, and I will watch with her."
The chamberlain responded with a smile, lowered his head and stepped back. He unexpectedly bumped into someone outside the door. He was so frightened that he let out an ouch, turned around to see clearly, and immediately bowed and saluted.
"Your Highness," he said.
The emperor raised his head and watched the Prince of Jin'an County waving his hands to the servant and walking in quickly.
After not seeing him for a few days, a smile appeared on the emperor's lips.
"Why did you enter the palace without an imperial edict? Aren't you afraid of being impeached by others?" he asked again with a serious face.
Prince Jin'an did not smile as usual, but stepped forward with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty." He saluted, looking left and right.
"What are you doing sneakily?" the emperor laughed.
"Your Majesty." Prince Jin'an stepped forward and placed his ear next to the emperor.
The emperor smiled and patted his arm.
"A gentleman should always tell others how to act appropriately and sit down," he said.
Prince Jin'an sat down next to him.
"Your Majesty, I heard some rumors." Prince Jin'an still had a solemn look on his face and said in a low voice.
The emperor saw that he was always serious and became a little curious.
"What?" he asked.
The prince of Jin'an County moved forward.
"My child heard that there is going to be a lunar eclipse." He raised his hand to cover his face and whispered in a low voice.
The emperor looked at him in surprise.
"Lunar eclipse?" he asked with a frown.
The prince of Jin'an County hurriedly waved to him.
"Your Majesty, keep your voice down." He whispered urgently.
The emperor was both angry and funny.
"Am I still afraid of people in my palace?" he said, looking at the servants around him, "Wang Laigui, are you not strict with your words?"
The chamberlain named Wang Laigui did not speak. He blinked at His Majesty for a moment and then took a few steps forward.
"Your Majesty, are you talking to the old slave?" he asked, with an innocent look on his face, "the old slave can't hear anything when someone is around."
The emperor laughed.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to laugh." Prince Jin'an said.
"Where did you hear that?" the emperor asked, half-smiling.
Why is it that everyone else knows about some things that the emperor hasn’t heard yet?
In fact, this is not surprising. That's how it is when you are an emperor. Sometimes what you hear and know is just what the ministers below want you to hear and know.
The waiter lowered his eyes.
"My child has recently been learning astronomy." Prince Jin'an said seriously.
The emperor chuckled again.
"Oh, you are interested in astronomy again." He said.
Ever since he was young, Prince Jin'an has not been paying attention to his homework. He studied geography for three days and fell in love with piano and chess for two days. In short, it is not certain, otherwise he would not be so bad at homework.
Or it's because of being too indulgent and doting.
"Why are you interested in astronomy again?" the emperor asked with a smile.
"It's fun." Prince Jin'an said casually.
Is it fun? It’s the woman who attracts people. She is always indispensable in words and deeds. He is interested in trying anything involving that woman.
Otherwise, why would I have ordered snacks to be delivered last time?
Will you be able to make your own wine at home in a while?
How dignified is this dignified man?
"What are you playing for?" The emperor frowned, "If you go out of the palace, no one will care about you. What about your homework? Just abandon it and stop studying?"
Prince Jin'an touched his nose timidly.
"Your Majesty," he said hurriedly, "now is not the time to talk about the lunar eclipse. I asked people to go to Sitiantai to ask about the calendar. Some people said they heard them arguing about calculating the lunar eclipse. Some said it was true and some said it was true.
If you are wrong, there will be endless debates.”
So that's it. The emperor sighed in relief and shook his head.
"Why do you listen to them? Isn't that what Sitiantai is like? They argue all day long, either about the calendar or about the celestial phenomena. What's the result?" He said, "I don't expect them to be able to calculate anything, as long as they don't make any more claims.
Just act like it's my fault that they are innocent."
"But it's different now." Prince Jin'an said with a smile, "They are stupid. After all, there are still people who are not stupid."
The emperor looked at him and understood.
"Wei Lang." He said suddenly, "Do you want to get married?"
Prince Jin'an was startled, but immediately shook his head.
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
"Weilang, you are not young." He said.
"Yes, but Prince Qing is still young." Prince Jin'an said.
The emperor was stunned for a moment.
"He is too young to leave me now." Prince Jin'an said, "I don't want him to scare others, and I don't want others to scare him."
The emperor sighed softly.
"No matter how old he is, he will still be like this," he said.
Prince Jin'an smiled.
"Maybe it will be different," he said.
After all, I haven’t given up hope yet.
The emperor sighed softly.
"I understand, you go and see the Queen Mother." He said.
The prince of Jin'an County responded, bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, are you still going to Concubine An's place?" the chamberlain asked in a low voice.
The emperor held his hands over several cases and pondered for a moment.
"I won't go, I will enjoy Concubine An's singing and dancing," he said.
The waiter responded.
Lunar eclipse….
This year there will be a solar eclipse first and then a lunar eclipse. That’s really...
The emperor slowly turned serious.
It can't be that unlucky.
"Come here," he finally said.
A chamberlain stepped forward quickly.
"Call Mrs. Cheng here," the emperor said.
But when the chamberlain happily came to Zhongshu to convey a message, he was scolded mercilessly by Chen Shao.
"Did someone sue her again or has she already obtained an official status?"
Chen Shao shouted with solemn eyes.
The chamberlain was stunned and shook his head.
"Since there is none, why summon a woman again and again?" Chen Shao said.
"Your Majesty wants to ask..." the chamberlain said.
"Asking about state affairs? There are court officials here, but when asking about private matters, the Imperial City Secretary is here." Chen Shao interrupted him and said again, "I wonder what reason your majesty has to summon her to see you?"
The waiter shrank his head and left in dejection after being shouted at.
"Your Majesty is ridiculous, don't you servants know how to admonish?"
The waiter didn't dare to look back and ran away.
Seeing the servant running away, Chen Shao became even more sullen.
It is not necessarily a good thing for a court official to be close to His Majesty, let alone a woman!
This seems glorious and glorious, but it is actually not a good thing.
The emperor who was dismissed had no choice but to say anything because of the court's rules.
He didn't want Chen Shao to resign in anger.
But then again, even the honest and upright Chen Shao has learned to resign at every turn...
People change.
The emperor sighed inwardly.
"She's not the defendant, and she doesn't have an official status, so I can't see her..." He hummed, "Then I'll give her an official title, let's see what you guys say."
But this is a matter for the future, and important things still need to be done now.
"Go and summon the prince and ask him to ask," the emperor said. "I think at this moment he was either forced into helplessness by the Queen Mother's tears, or he made the Queen Mother shed tears again."
However, it should be the latter.
……………………………………………..
"Ask me?"
In the Cheng family's house, Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"Your Majesty wants to know, will there really be a lunar eclipse on the 15th?" he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Yes." She replied.
Prince Jin'an was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at her.
"Did you see it?" he asked.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled, stretched out her hand and shook her fingers.
"Then how can you tell that it has to be calculated?" she said.
"Just count it with your fingers?" Prince Jin'an asked more curiously.
"No." Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head, "It's based on the calendar."
Prince Jin'an nodded and understood.
"Then can I reply to Your Majesty like this?" he asked after hesitation.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"Why not? It's not like you can't tell others. Everyone can see it right away," she said.
"I'm afraid it will bring you some trouble." Prince Jin'an said.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled again, took back her hands and folded her sleeves in front of her.
"Mr. Cheng is not ashamed of observing the way of heaven, and she is not afraid of knowing the way of heaven." She said slowly.
Never, never fear disaster, never avoid disaster, never.
