Reborn!The terminally ill prince is looking at me again

Chapter 77 The Arrangement Is Right

"..."

Mei Zhuoxue disagreed, did not refute, and stood there silently.

Emperor Huan didn't seem to want to really listen to what he had to say, he picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, licking his lips as if he had tasted some delicacy.

The energy and spirit suddenly improved a lot, and the gloomy air accumulated in Emperor Huan's heart also dissipated a lot. His eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed to be playing with a teacup in his hand and said unintentionally: "Take care of your body. I'm worried, you know?"

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Emperor Huan nodded in satisfaction, and when he turned around, he suddenly remembered something, and asked aloud: "By the way, you have heard about the eldest lady of the Hua family, right?"

Mei Zhuoxue calmly concealed the darkness in her eyes, and said in harmony, "I have heard about it."

Emperor Huan shook his head helplessly, "It's true Ruoyue, if she insists on saying that Miss Hua is plotting against her son-in-law, she doesn't even think about it, if the two of them really have something, there is no room for her."

"However, it's good this time, and I also think that it's time for this eldest lady to get married."

His tone was full of concern from the beginning to the end, like an elder who was worried about his daughter getting out of the cabinet, he didn't want to be seduced by some wild boy but was afraid of delaying her good marriage.

"So, Zhuo'er thinks, who is it better for this eldest lady to marry?"

The topic changed very quickly, Mei Zhuoxue's heart tightened, but her face remained indifferent, "What do you think, Father?"

"The third child." Emperor Huan said without hesitation, "Hua Zuili is the prime minister's daughter, so she is perfectly suitable for the royal family, but there are already countless beauties in your family, so it would be negligent to marry again."

"But the third child is different. He has kept himself clean for so many years, and he doesn't even have anyone to add warm clothes around him. Marrying a relative can be regarded as a good match for a couple."

Mei Zhuoxue clenched her hand under her long sleeves unconsciously, and he no longer shy away from anything, and suddenly said coldly, "Ruo Erchen said, I also want to marry the eldest lady."

The pupils were as cold as a bone-piercing pool, and the tumi pattern wrapped around his left eye was eerie and scarlet. Emperor Huan looked at him, and felt a little chill in his heart, but soon this emotion was suppressed again, frowning, his face was gloomy, Is he disobeying him?
"Zuo'er." Emperor Huan patted Mei Zhuoxue on the shoulder, "I just said that you and my father and son should be of one mind, so as not to let down your mother's spirit in heaven. She is just a woman, why should you care about everything."

"But if I care about it."

After Mei Zhuoxue finished speaking, she only felt the pressure on her shoulders tightening slowly, and the five fingers were like sharp claws clasping the bones, and there was some pain, but he still stood upright, with his father, the current emperor The emperor looked at each other, not giving an inch.

"Zhuo'er!" Emperor Huan's tone became more serious, "Don't make trouble, you are a prince, you need to know what brotherhood means."

He put down his hands and straightened Mei Zhuoxue's collar, "Don't hurt yourself because of a woman, you will have to worship your ancestors in half a month, you still need to prepare well."

Without waiting for Mei Zhuoxue to answer, Emperor Huan patted his shoulders boldly, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

The rustling cicadas were extremely crisp on a moonlit night.

Mei Zhuoxue stretched out her hand and brushed her shoulders expressionlessly, as if she wanted to knock off some dirty things, she looked up at the moon in the sky, her eyes flickered, worshiping the ancestors...he really needs to prepare well...

... * ...

Half a month passed away in a flash.

The so-called ancestor worship means that the emperor of the current dynasty leads his family members and ministers to the Taimiao to worship the five emperors and pray for blessings.

The sun was warm that day, the leaves swayed gently, and a little breeze blew on the face, bringing a little bit of coolness, which was very refreshing in the midsummer of the noisy cicadas.

Hua Zuili got out of the carriage with the help of Zhiqiu. The surroundings were already bustling with many princes and grandchildren standing. She didn't chat and joke in small groups like them to kill time. She just looked up at the majestic Hongwa Temple, feeling inexplicable ups and downs in her heart disturbed.

These days, Princess Changning's marriage urging secrets are thrown at her as if she doesn't want money, but she has secretly agreed to cooperate with someone, and she doesn't want to just marry so simply, so she can only delay it again and again.

But looking at today's posture, she always has an ominous premonition.

"Miss Hua."

Hua Zuili is almost bewildered these days. When someone calls her, she subconsciously thinks that it is for a kiss. She turns her head and half-covers her face with her long sleeve, and pushes Zhiqiu who is next to her, "Go, just say me. not coming."

"Cough cough." The visitor coughed twice, and said again in a more emphatic voice, "Old slave, Fu, see Miss Hua."

Hua Zuili's ears perked up, Ah Fu?Could it be...

She quickly put down her long sleeves, and sure enough, she saw Uncle Fu, who was wearing squirrel brocade, standing there saluting. Subconsciously, she raised her eyes and looked around, but she didn't find that familiar figure.

She stepped forward, helped him up, and asked, "Uncle Fu, what's the matter?"

Uncle Fu got up, "Your Highness asked the old slave to tell the eldest lady that he has already arranged everything, you just need to follow along and go, there is no need to worry."

"What did he arrange?"

Regarding the important matter of marriage, Hua Zuili was still very curious about what he was planning to do.

Uncle Fu raised his eyes and said meaningfully, "It's better that you don't know the details."

He didn't give Hua Zuili a chance to ask again, so Shi Yili left.

Hua Zuili stared at Uncle Fu's back in a daze, and couldn't understand for a while, "Zhiqiu, what do you think he meant by that?"

Zhiqiu and Huazuili get along day and night, even though they are slaves, they also love sisters, so they naturally know about those things.

After hearing her lady's question, she tilted her head and thought for a while, "Maybe...His Royal Highness wants to prepare a surprise for the lady."

"My servant once read in the scripture book that a scholar must prepare a warm and romantic pastoral garden, and only then will the rich lady agree to elope with him."

"yes……"

After hearing this explanation, Hua Zuili felt more and more unreliable. She didn't expect any warm and romantic idyllic sea of ​​flowers, but only hoped that the so-called 'surprise' would never turn into a 'scare'...

The bells and drums in the distance were struck, and the roar was so loud that the children of all ethnic groups who were chatting stopped laughing and became solemn.

The door of the Taimiao Temple was opened, and an eunuch with a whisk in his hand came out slowly, followed by two nuns, and with a smile on his face, he gave a deep salute to all the noble children and ministers who were waiting for the emperor to summon him, saying: "Everyone, the grand ceremony It's about to start, everyone can come in and prepare."

Hua Zuili approached Hua Qingze, seeing him nodding slightly towards her, she went to the nurse in charge who came to guide the noble lady, and followed them into the Taimiao.

The simple and elegant corridors are carved with complicated patterns, and the lotus in full bloom in the pool also contains dewdrops.

Since ancient times, in royal sacrifices, the emperor has to lead the civil and military ministers, and the queen has to take the royal nobles to the altar, and then the emperor and queen walk together. The courtiers kneel down and then start to worship.

But at this moment, Hua Zuili was standing by the clear pond, facing the sun, waiting for His Royal Highness Changning Princess who also wanted to participate.
