Tai Chi Palace.

Lu Yunting and General Zhenguo waited outside for a while, and then the eunuch came out and invited them in.

After the two men respectfully bowed to Emperor Yuan, Lu Yunting began to state his purpose.

He said sincerely, "Your Majesty, the marriage between me and Lord Xiao Jiang has been decided for a long time. Now we both want to get married. I beg Your Majesty to set a date for our wedding."

"Jiang Yueyang agreed to marry you?"

"yes."

Lu Yunting paused, then added: "After I marry Lord Xiao Jiang, I will take off my armor..."

"When are you planning to get married?" Emperor Yuan interrupted him calmly.

After these words were spoken, Lu Yunting and General Zhenguo both knew that Emperor Yuan would no longer block the marriage between the Jiang and Lu families.

Lu Yunting could not hide his joy and replied, "I haven't asked His Majesty yet, so I dare not hastily decide on the wedding date."

"August 12 is a good day for marriage. Go back and ask Jiang Yueyang. If she has no objection, your wedding can be set on that day."

As early as the day when Jiang Yueyang expressed her willingness to marry Lu Yunting as soon as possible in the court, he ordered the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious day.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected three auspicious days, namely July 7, August 12 and next year's Flower Festival.

The seventh day of the seventh month has a good meaning, but there are less than three months left, which is too hasty.

He was worried that the Ministry of Rites would not be able to prepare in time and would neglect Jiang Yueyang.

Lu Yunting wants to get married quickly, but next year's Flower Festival would be too late for him.

So he chose the central date of August 12.

Lu Yunting was overjoyed and knelt on one knee to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift. I am grateful to you."

Emperor Yuan waved his hand, signaling him to stand up, "Jiang Yueyang is the princess of Daxia, and is half my daughter. If you betray her in the future, I will tear you into pieces."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will never let her down in this life!" Lu Yunting's voice was loud and clear.

In fact, Emperor Yuan was not worried that he would let Jiang Yueyang down.

Given the way he values Jiang Yueyang more than his own life, it was possible that Jiang Yueyang would let him down.

But despite this, a warning or two are still necessary.

Emperor Yuan said "hmm" and continued, "I will let the Ministry of Rites arrange your marriage. In addition, I hope Jiang Yueyang can marry out of the palace."

Hearing this, Lu Yunting and General Zhenguo were a little surprised.

For a princess from another family to marry out of the imperial palace is the supreme honor and unprecedented love!

Before the two of them recovered from their shock, Emperor Yuan said, "Jiang Yueyang may not agree to marry out of the palace. If she doesn't agree, that's fine. There's no need to force her."

"Yes!" Lu Yunting came back to his senses and responded.

Then, Emperor Yuan looked at General Zhenguo, "General Zhenguo, what do you want from me?"

General Zhenguo gave Emperor Yuan two dry laughs and did not reply.

As soon as Emperor Yuan saw his expression, he knew that he was here to support Lu Yunting and rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Okay, now that we're done, leave."

Hearing this, the two of them bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

After the two men left, Emperor Yuan asked someone to call over the Neizangku Shi who was in charge of the private treasury.

Not long after, Lord Pan, the inner treasury keeper, came before Emperor Yuan with a list of items in the private treasury.

Emperor Yuan took the list of items and read out the names of more than a dozen treasures, then said, "In addition to what I just mentioned, you should prepare some gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins, books and paintings as a dowry for Jiang Yueyang. They must be of the best quality."

Lord Pan was stunned, but he quickly reacted and agreed.

Emperor Yuan handed the list to Li Fuquan and his eyes fell on Lord Pan. "Nothing else, you can go back."

Lord Pan took the list of items returned by Li Fuquan, bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

At that time, on the other side, Jiang Yueyang taught Kong Jijiu about multiplication, and after asking them to read the "Multiplication Table" several times, he was ready to start testing them.

"My Lords, you have all learned the basics of multiplication, and have read the Multiplication Table at least ten times. Now, let me test you."

Hearing this, everyone present became slightly nervous.

Jiang Yueyang's gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces, and finally fell on the face of the Minister of War with a frown on his face.

"Minister Liang."

The Minister of War's heart tightened and he slowly stood up.

Jiang Yueyang asked: "What is 5x6?"

The Minister of War racked his brains to think. Although he was familiar with the Multiplication Table, his mind was instantly confused by this sudden question.

He moved his lips and stammered, "5...5x6 equals..."

The people around him looked at him quietly, without blinking.

Jiang Yueyang looked at him calmly and said, "I just said that multiplication is a simplified calculation of the same addends.

For example, this 5x6 means 5 sixes added together or 6 fives added together. So, what is 5x6 equal to? "

After listening to Jiang Yueyang's suggestion, the Minister of War thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he replied: "5x6 equals 30!"

"So, what is 30 called here?"

After these words were spoken, the Minister of War was stumped again.

Jiang Yueyang looked displeased when she saw this, and glanced at the others, "Does anyone know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minister Jiang stood up.

He answered confidently: "Master Xiao Jiang, the result of multiplying two factors is called a product!"

Jiang Yueyang pulled the corner of his mouth with satisfaction after hearing this, "Not bad, the answer is correct."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to signal the two to sit down. She swept her eyes over everyone and said seriously, "Let me repeat, in a multiplication equation, the two numbers being multiplied are called factors, or multipliers. The result of multiplying two factors is called a product."
