Princess Li Ge was not surprised at all about Jiang Wan'er's attitude, Zhao Wenxiang's attitude, and the attitudes of all the civil and military officials in the court of Gan State.
She looked at Zhao Wenxiang, bowed slightly, and then spoke softly.
"Master Neishi, you are Mr. Zhao's father, so you naturally have the final say on this matter."
"However, this is, after all, the kindness of Her Majesty the Empress of Shu. Lord Nei Shi may wish to consider it carefully and do not rush to give me an answer."
"Besides, should you seek Mr. Zhao's advice?"
"After all, this is about Mr. Zhao's lifelong event."
Zhao Wenxiang said firmly: "Your Highness, this is not necessary."
"As the saying goes, parents decide, matchmaker decides. As Zhao Hao's father, I don't need to ask for his opinion. I can make the decision on my own."
After hearing what Zhao Wenxiang said, Princess Li Ge looked at Jiang Wan'er again.
"Your Majesty, if the two countries form a marriage alliance, our Shu Kingdom and Gan Kingdom will be of the same blood from now on."
"This should be a good story and an opportunity for the relationship between the two countries to move to a higher level."
"Your Majesty, without your approval, it seems that the Internal History Master will not dare to agree."
She didn't say that she would never agree, but that she didn't dare to agree.
The implication is that Zhao Wenxiang's attitude depends on the intention of your Majesty the Emperor.
You don't really want to prevent the relationship between the two countries from moving to a higher level, do you?
The deeper meaning is that since your Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Gan does not want to be on good terms with my Kingdom of Shu, then we must become enemies.
So, this is a sentence with a hint of threat.
Jiang Wan'er was so smart that she immediately understood the meaning of Princess Li Ge's words.
She frowned and said indifferently: "I am naturally willing to work hard to improve the relationship between us and Shu."
"But you can't force it!"
"I will make my position clear. As long as you can convince Zhao Hao, the marriage will be concluded."
"As for Lord Nei Shi, I'm here to help you convince him!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Li Ge was immediately delighted.
"Then I will follow your Majesty's instructions. Li Ge thanks your Majesty!"
"Li Ge is leaving."
…
After testing continuously for a while and finding no problems, Zhao Hao had the pendulum clock loaded onto the carriage and taken to the first floor.
The carriage stopped at the door of the first floor. He hurriedly called Lao Zhong and others and asked them to carry the pendulum clock to the fourth floor.
When it was carried into the house, Lao Zhong asked curiously, "Master, what is this thing?"
Zhao Hao chuckled: "You haven't seen it before, right? This thing took me nearly a month to make, and it took a lot of effort..."
Before he could finish, a woman's angry voice was heard outside.
"Zhao Hao, come out!"
Zhao Hao was startled and stuck his head out to look, only to see Princess Yongning walking towards him quickly with a frosty face.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" Zhao Hao hurriedly went up to him and asked.
Princess Yongning glared at him fiercely, walked into the room, pulled over a chair and sat down, looking very angry.
Zhao Hao motioned for Lao Zhong to leave, then leaned over and asked again, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Yongning said angrily: "Zhao Hao, you are really amazing!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was completely confused by what was said.
"Your Highness, what's so great about me?"
"Can you please stop talking in riddles and just tell me what you want to say?"
Princess Yongning snorted, "This morning, Princess Li Ge came to the palace to meet with my sister and proposed that Shu Kingdom and Dagan form a marriage alliance..."
Zhao Hao said without thinking: "It's fine if we get married, what does it have to do with me?"
Princess Yongning said, "Her Majesty the Empress of Shu Kingdom has been impressed by your extraordinary talent and wants to recruit you as her son-in-law. How can this have nothing to do with you?"
"Zhao Hao, you are amazing. Including the literary duel, you and Princess Li Ge have only met twice."
"She actually admired you to that extent, and even convinced her Majesty the Empress to take you as her son-in-law!"
“You are really good!”
Zhao Hao was completely stunned.
"Wait a minute!"
"What did you say?"
"The Queen of Shu Kingdom wants to recruit me as her son-in-law?"
"You must be kidding me!"
Princess Yongning was so angry that she sneered.
"joke?"
"Who's kidding you?"
"They even brought their credentials, how could this be a joke?"
Zhao Hao felt numb.
The Queen of Shu Kingdom wanted to recruit herself as her son-in-law. Isn't this a bit of a rip-off?
After a little thought, he calmed down and asked, "Your Highness, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Princess Yongning said unhappily, "Can such a thing be false?"
Zhao Hao nodded and chuckled, "No, this is obviously the method that Shu Kingdom came up with to get the thunder bomb from me."
"Why are you so angry?"
"Don't even think about marrying the Empress of Shu, even if she's a fairy."
"How could I possibly betray Dagan?"
"You are so angry, don't you think I know this?"
Hearing him say this, Princess Yongning's expression finally eased a little.
She looked suspicious and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhao Hao immediately said, "Of course it's true. I know they have other intentions, so how could I let them succeed?"
Seeing that Zhao Hao did not seem to be pretending, Princess Yongning finally felt relieved.
"My sister summons you to the palace tonight."
"You have a plan."
"I should still tell you about this."
"If you really have no intention, you'd better reject Princess Li Ge as soon as possible, so as to avoid this matter becoming a hot topic and causing misunderstandings."
Zhao Hao nodded.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Looking at the way you looked when you came here just now, I thought something had happened!"
Princess Yongning glared at him and then her pretty face turned red.
She was really angry just now.
I thought Zhao Hao and Princess Li Ge had reached a tacit understanding.
"Huh?"
"What is this?"
“It looks so weird!”
Princess Yongning pointed to the pendulum clock in the corner and asked curiously.
“This is called a clock.”
“It’s also called a pendulum clock.”
"To tell the time!"
Princess Yongning became even more curious.
"Look at the time?"
"How do you see this?"
Zhao Hao walked to the clock and explained with a smile.
"We usually tell time using sundials and hourglasses, and at night when the lights are turned off, we listen to the drums outside."
"But I think it's too inconvenient to check the time that way."
“So I researched that.”
"You see, we divide the day into twelve hours, but this is too imprecise."
"And my pendulum clock divides one hour into two hours, and one day into twenty-four hours."
"Then I carved all the times onto this big disc."
"The two hands represent the minute hand and the hour hand..."
Zhao Hao explained while gesturing.
For a long time,
Finally, I have finished explaining how to tell time and the working principle of the pendulum clock.
