Chapter 0160 Opposition
Gao Xunzhi looked at Qu Yunmie with a frozen smile, while Qu Yunmie looked at Gao Xunzhi innocently.
After a moment, Gao Xunzhi's mouth finally moved, but it looked a little stiff: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
Qu Yunmie tasted Gao Xunzhi's tone and came to an uncertain conclusion: "Sir, are you saying that ten days is not enough?"
Gao Xunzhi jumped up and wanted to send Qu Yunmie to meet his parents on the spot: "You can't even complete the first step of the three letters and six ceremonies in ten days! The embroiderers have been embroidering dragon robes for you, and their fingers are about to be pierced into carrots. No one will embroider your wedding clothes. Do you want to wear armor to marry A Rong?!"
In addition to the wedding dress, there is also the problem that the imperial palace has not yet been completed. Damn Qu Yunmie, he actually wanted to hold the wedding of the emperor and empress in such a shabby way!
Gao Xunzhi was really about to explode. In the stunned look of Qu Yunmie, he continued to point at Qu Yunmie's nose and scold him: "You are already twenty-five years old, why are you still so troublesome! A male queen is a rare thing that has never happened in thousands of years. Whenever A Rong makes a mistake, he will be repeatedly criticized. You are so perfunctory even in the wedding ceremony, as if you are afraid that others will not know that you are neglecting A Rong. Do you think I don't know why you are so anxious? Humph, when I was enjoying my marriage, your brother was not even born yet!"
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
Looking at the old man in front of him with a white beard and more wrinkles on his face than a thousand-layer cake, Qu Yunmie really couldn't imagine his romantic appearance. After a moment of silence, he felt that Gao Xunzhi was right, so he humbly asked: "Then according to you, sir, when can I get married?"
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
After all, this is the child he raised. Although he is a little impatient, Gao Xunzhi does not want him to wait too long. After all, he knows Xiao Rong's character a little bit. If he delays for too long, he really doesn't know if there will be any changes.
After some consideration, Gao Xunzhi gave a time that he thought was acceptable: "At least half a year."
However, Qu Yunmie opened his eyes wide in an instant and denied it immediately: "No! Half a year is too long, at most one month."
Gao Xunzhi said angrily: "Do you think you can bargain when buying vegetables? Even if everything is kept simple, it is impossible to complete all the preparations within a month!"
After saying that, Gao Xunzhi wanted to hit Qu Yunmie, who was beginning to be stubborn again, but he compromised a little after opening his mouth: "Then it will be three months, no less."
Qu Yunmie looked at him and took a step back: "Twenty days."
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”
Who taught you to bargain like this?!
Seeing that Gao Xunzhi was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage from anger, Qu Yunmie lowered his eyes and began to offer tenderness: "Sir, if possible, I would also like to spend three to five years to prepare for this wedding. Apart from A Rong, I will not want anyone else in my life. So you should understand, sir, compared to a hasty wedding ceremony, I am more afraid that one day when I wake up, A Rong changes his mind and doesn't want me anymore."
Gao Xunzhi: “…” He was worried too.
But he certainly couldn't say that. He comforted Qu Yunmie, "But he came back with you. Ah Rong is a proud man. He won't do anything that goes back on his word."
Qu Yunmie nodded: "I know, but I'm still worried."
Gao Xunzhi fell silent. After a long while, he said, "Then you should also know that even if you get married and make your relationship known to the world, if he wants to leave, you still can't keep him."
A piece of marriage contract cannot restrain a free and romantic soul.
Qu Yunmie nodded again, but then he smiled.
Gao Xunzhi looked at him strangely, not understanding why he could still laugh at this time, and Qu Yunmie himself didn't know how to explain it.
"Sir, I am worried, but not extremely worried. When Arong and I first met, he taught me four words: human heart is unpredictable. He told me not to trust others easily. I didn't think much about it at the time, but later I found out that he not only wanted to teach me, but also kept warning himself. When I was terrified by love, he couldn't escape such a cage either. It's just that between him and me, I told him more. I showed him all my thoughts and scars. This was my offensive, and he turned his back to me so that I couldn't see his expression. This was his defensive. Sir, I have a feeling of not knowing my own limitations now. Maybe Arong is also worried, and he may even worry more deeply and for longer than I do."
Gao Xunzhi was speechless. He never dreamed that Qu Yunmie could say such words. Although he was the older and more experienced one, he might not be as good as Qu Yunmie when it comes to feelings.
This kid has been trained by Xiao Rong. …
Gao Xunzhi didn't want to admit that he was moved, so he just said coldly: "Other couples live in harmony, but you two torture each other and struggle until the end."
Qu Yunmie blinked his eyes, then grinned: "Hehe."
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”
Gao Xunzhi didn't have the energy to argue with him anymore. He sat back and shook his head: "We can set the wedding date later. After all, compared to the mouth of a living person, rules are nothing. Have you thought about how to get the officials to agree to this?"
Gao Xunzhi only mentioned the officials, not the common people, because the common people could not enter the court, and the common people would only treat this as a joke. No matter how shocked they were, no matter how much they cried out, when it was time to eat, they would not eat less. After all, who the emperor married was none of their business. They wanted to know how much grain they had to pay this year.
The idea of the unity of man and nature is indeed a bit troublesome, but thanks to the years of chaos, every emperor would promote the Mandate of Heaven when he came to power. As a result, every emperor made the world a mess. Now is the time when the emperor's credibility is the worst, and people no longer blame the emperor for everything.
So the common people are not important. What is difficult to deal with are the civil and military officials. To be more precise, it is these civil servants, especially those who came from Nanyong.
Even though they played wildly in private and acted like gentlemen when criticizing the emperor, everyone knew that nine out of ten male favorites in the world were kept in Nanjing.
Gao Xunzhi was thinking about what to do about this matter. Although he asked Qu Yunmie, he never expected Qu Yunmie to deal with these old guys.
However, after hearing Gao Xunzhi's words, Qu Yunmie smiled and said, "Arong also asked me about this matter. I have already thought about what to do."
At this point, he paused and said, "I'll do it right away."
He left after he finished speaking. Gao Xunzhi stared at his back blankly: "..."
Confirmed again, Qu Yunmie was really anxious.
What on earth did Xiao Rong do that made him unable to wait even for a day or two?
Gao Xunzhi was puzzled and shook his head, and he quickly chased after him. *
It was three quarters after midnight, which was supposed to be dinner time for every household. However, the future emperor, who had disappeared for many days, summoned these officials holding chopsticks to the largest meeting room in the palace with a verbal order.
