Happy Lantern Festival
***
"Also, I'm the grandson of Grand Tutor Yu. My name is Yu Chenghao, not some scoundrel."
The grandson of the Grand Tutor's Mansion? But he said he would go to Zuixianlou to find him. "Are you the owner of Zuixianlou?"
"I'm just the shopkeeper, not the boss. Once you've made up your mind, come find me on the first floor of Zuixianlou." After saying this, Yu Seung-ho left Jinyu Silk.
She heard that Yu Chenghao and Helan Minzhi had a good relationship, and she guessed that this guy liked her Lanlan.
But this guy is not reliable at all.
Yu Niang recalled what Yu Chenghao had just said, the last time we met, the last time we met...
***
The Queen Mother did not attend the morning court that day, but Helan Ruizhe acted as her proxy.
Recently, apart from the Simu Kingdom's invasion of the border and capture of cities, there have been no other wars.
Besides, this matter has been resolved, and Helan Ruizhe thought it would be easy, but the envoy who had just returned from Simu Kingdom came again today and said that they had put forward new demands.
He knelt in the main hall and raised his head to report the request to Helan Ruizhe: "The Simu Kingdom said that before the princess marries, they must first come to Fuding Kingdom to meet the princess. If they are satisfied, they will consider whether to marry her."
The people standing before His Highness looked at each other in bewilderment, all with question marks on their faces. Prime Minister Tang was the first to react and shouted, "This is too much!"
This Simuguo is too arrogant. Is this a blind date? He even asks if you are satisfied or not...
"Prime Minister, please calm down." Helan Ruizhe comforted Prime Minister Tang.
Actually, it’s not impossible, after all, they are at a disadvantage now.
"Is the King of Simu Kingdom coming here?"
The envoy said tremblingly: "No, it is not."
He never said that it was the King of Simu Kingdom who was going to marry Princess Helan. These people started arguing without asking clearly, and sent him to Simu Kingdom without waiting for his explanation.
Alas, being an envoy is so difficult.
"No?!" Prime Minister Tang was quick-tempered and almost pushed the envoy to the ground on the spot.
"Who is that? Didn't you say marriage?! This king doesn't even have a son!"
"Prime Minister Tang, please shut up." Helan Ruizhe gave him an awkward but polite smile. He didn't know how the Queen Mother could tolerate this Prime Minister. "The envoy continued."
"It is indeed not the king of Simu Kingdom, but their regent Si Shuo."
Regent?!
The princes whispered to each other, saying that they had never heard that the Simu Kingdom had a regent.
How could there be a regent in a country full of barbarians who can barely read?
But they really do exist, and there is no such serious illiteracy phenomenon as "not being able to read a single word" across the country.
It's just everyone's stereotype about this country. The people here are still very simple. The envoy thought so, but he didn't dare to say it.
Helan Ruizhe had heard of the Si family of Simu State. The family members were both talented in literature and martial arts, and they were the top aristocratic family in Simu State.
"When will he come?"
The envoy glanced at Helan Ruizhe, then at the ministers who were all curious around him. He kowtowed deeply before saying, "We're on our way. We've probably reached Wunan City by now, and it's still three days away."
"Three days?!" Prime Minister Tang shouted again, but was repelled by Helan Ruizhe's eyes. The envoy was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He was afraid that Prime Minister Tang would lose control and pounce on him and beat him up.
It was indeed not that he knew the truth and was in danger. When he was on his way, he found out that the Regent had followed him and was hiding in the secret compartment of his carriage. Who could have discovered this?
Fortunately, the Regent was not so unreasonable. He asked him to rush back to Fuding to report the news first, while he himself leisurely strolled around the vast and rich Fuding.
"Nothing, three days is enough time to prepare."
Helan Ruizhe was quite calm. He also wanted to meet the regent of Simu Kingdom. After all, the war between the two countries was caused by him being the commander, which led to the defeat of Fuding Kingdom.
When the envoy finally breathed a sigh of relief, Helan Ruizhe suddenly said, "You have completed your mission well this time. Go down and collect your reward and then go back to rest. There is no need to run around the border anymore."
What this actually means is that the envoy can go home and pack up and leave. He lacks the courage and wisdom that an envoy should have, so there is no point in keeping him.
After the morning court session ended, Helan Ruizhe went to the Queen's bedroom to find the Queen Mother.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried. He hadn't seen the Queen Mother's condition in person since yesterday.
When he arrived, the Queen Mother was sleeping. Shi Qingmiao saw him coming and made a gesture to keep quiet. He walked over and said to him, "Grandma just took the medicine and went to sleep."
Helan Ruizhe nodded, and Shi Qingmiao pulled him out again, "Brother, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Tell me here."
Helan Ruizhe walked to the end of the corridor, stopped, and looked back at Shi Qingmiao.
What was this child thinking about so mysteriously? Shi Qingmiao first told Helan Ruizhe everything that Mo Ninghai had said to her yesterday, and then said, "Doctor Mo said that we should have some happy events to make grandma happy. A happy event is a wedding. Right now, the only ones who can get married right away are the Ninth Prince and Yu Qinglan, so..."
"..." Helan Ruizhe was speechless, "So you want me to go and talk to the emperor's uncle and ask him to get married quickly?"
"Um, is it okay?" Shi Qingmiao begged with her pitiful big eyes blinking.
"Doctor Mo is the imperial physician, not a charlatan. Are you sure what he said was what you said? He just said that grandma should be in a good mood." Helan Ruizhe decisively refused. "Besides, it's not my turn as a junior to interfere in the affairs of the emperor's uncle. If you want to make grandma happy, why don't you find someone to marry?"
