After hearing Jiang Li's words, Chu Huaizhi's eyes showed a deep surprise, and his heart was instantly filled with turbulent waves! He didn't even know when Li'er had found the Imperial Observatory! Jiang Li successfully pleased someone by giving Chu Huaizhi a title in front of all the civil and military officials.
The person who had obtained the title suddenly stood up and walked towards Jiang Li, totally ignoring the ministers below who were already jaw-dropping!
Jiang Li's eyes widened. She didn't expect Chu Huaizhi to suddenly stand up and walk towards her.
Under her astonished gaze, Chu Huaizhi walked straight to her side, unable to suppress the joy on the corners of his mouth.
"Li'er, I am very happy."
In full view of everyone, Chu Huaizhi bent down, kissed Jiang Li on the forehead, and then held her hand.
Jiang Li was pulled up from the dragon throne by Chu Huaizhi. She was startled: "Uncle, where are you taking me?"
"Choosing a wedding dress."
Chu Huaizhi said this and pulled Jiang Li towards the side hall.
Jiang Li turned her head and glanced at the ministers in the palace, and said quickly: "There is no rush to choose the wedding dress, let me first..."
"Li'er, I can't wait any longer."
Chu Huaizhi held Jiang Li's hand and couldn't wait to take her to choose their wedding dresses.
Chu Huaizhi grabbed Jiang Li's hand and strode towards the side hall. Jiang Li was forced to jog to keep up.
"Walk slower, wait for me!"
After hearing Jiang Li's instructions, Chu Huaizhi turned around and picked her up by the waist.
Jiang Li's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously hugged Chu Huaizhi's neck.
"Put me down quickly! The court is not over yet!"
Chu Huaizhi did not stop and soon disappeared in the hall holding Jiang Li.
A group of ministers were left in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.
???
The ministers looked at each other, all puzzled.
"What happened just now? I am old and my eyesight is not very good!"
The Shangshu rubbed his eyes and finally acknowledged his age at this moment.
The censor beside him turned his head to look at the Shangshu and snorted, "I told you before that you were hard of hearing, but you didn't admit it. Now your presbyopia makes you unable to see clearly, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Shangshu blew his beard and glared, "Hey, how can you talk like that, old man? You are the old one!"
The censor's eyes widened in disbelief and he pointed at himself: "I'm old? You're fifty-eight and I'm fifty-five, and you say I'm old?"
"You are only three years younger than me! Why do you think I am laughing at you?"
"Please tell me clearly, when did I laugh at you?"
Normally, the censor and the minister love to talk back to each other, and now they are arguing about age.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two, stop arguing over such a small matter!"
The officials standing behind the two men hurriedly tried to dissuade them. At this time, the Secretary of State and the Censor turned their heads to look at the official and said in unison: "What does it have to do with you?"
After saying that, they started arguing again.
The other shocked ministers were brought back to their senses by the quarrel between the two, and they all looked at the Censor and the Minister.
"Hey, you two, it's already this late and you still have time to quarrel here?"
"Your Majesty and the Regent are in love and are getting married. Why are you arguing here instead of going back to prepare gifts?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's thoughts suddenly came back to mind!
Your Majesty is going to marry the Regent?
The Regent is going to marry His Majesty?! No wonder the Regent was so protective of His Majesty just now, it turns out that these two are attracted to each other! But when did they fall in love with each other? Why was there no news before?
But none of this matters anymore. What matters is that they have to go back and discuss with their wives what gifts they should give to His Majesty when he gets married to the Regent!
Thinking of this, the ministers turned hurriedly and walked towards the entrance of the hall, scrambling to get home.
On the other side, Chu Huaizhi left the Golden Palace holding Jiang Li.
Men who have gained status now walk with confidence and are free and easy.
"So happy?"
Jiang Li hugged Chu Huaizhi's neck and raised her eyebrows at the corners of his upturned mouth.
Chu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and looked at her, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.
"When did Li'er ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory for an auspicious date? How come I don't know?"
“The day before we went to the Buddha’s Temple.”
Jiang Li did not hide it from him. Chu Huai left the palace after the court session that day. After dealing with the memorials, Jiang Li had nothing to do, so she asked someone to call the Imperial Observatory to calculate an auspicious day.
After hearing this, the smile in Chu Huaizhi's eyes deepened.
"It seems that Li'er has really been coveting me as her husband for a long time."
Jiang Li did not deny it, and looked at Chu Huaizhi with a teasing look on her face: "Isn't the emperor's uncle the same?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Li suddenly became interested.
She looked at Chu Huaizhi with bright eyes and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "When did the emperor's uncle fall in love with me?"
Seeing that she was gossiping even about himself, Chu Huaizhi shook his head helplessly and uttered two words under Jiang Li's expectant gaze.
"you guess."
Jiang Li was furious and shook her calf: "Uncle! Tell me quickly!"
Under Jiang Li's soft and hard persuasion, Chu Huaizhi said seriously: "Really want to know?"
Jiang Li nodded without hesitation.
"Then Li'er, come closer to my ear."
Jiang Li cooperated by putting her ear close to Chu Huaizhi, waiting for his answer.
Chu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and looked at the delicate face so close to him. When he saw Jiang Li's pink and translucent earlobe, his Adam's apple slid slightly.
Then he put his thin lips close to her ear.
Feeling wetness on her earlobe, Jiang Li shuddered suddenly, pushed Chu Huaizhi's chest away and escaped from his arms.
"rogue!"
Jiang Li's face suddenly turned red, and after scolding her, she turned and ran away.
Her fleeing figure formed a beautiful scenery on the palace road. Chu Huaizhi let his arms hang at his sides and chased after her.
"Li'er, wait for your husband."
After hearing his voice, Jiang Li in front ran faster.
Chu Huaizhi's expression was helpless yet mixed with a hint of doting, and he had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Li'er, don't you want to know when I started to like you?"
Jiang Li's steps really slowed down. Seeing that this was effective, Chu Huaizhi continued to persuade her patiently.
"Pear, come to me and I'll tell you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Li's voice came from the front.
"I don't believe you!"
——
As Chu Huaizhi and Jiang Li expected, August arrived as promised.
Today is the fifth day of August, and in three days it will be their wedding day.
The wedding banquet for the two was planned by Chu Huaizhi himself, who directed the palace servants. In order to get everything ready, Chu Huaizhi personally went out of the imperial city.
In the past, Jiang Li would deal with memorials in the imperial study after court. However, when Chu Huaizhi rushed to the imperial study today, he was told that Jiang Li did not attend court this morning.
Chu Huaizhi thought Jiang Li was sick, so he quickly went to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you cannot go in!"
