Chapter 294 A fishing net is a fishing net

Zhong Yu had already turned around and walked to the door with the account book in his arms, but suddenly turned back and said, "Your Highness, since the study has been given a new look, this fishing net..."

"Ah... yes..." Zhou Chang also felt that the hammock was no longer necessary. "Sir, you are right. We will take it down later."

Zhong Yu then bowed again and left.

Zhou Chang watched Zhong Yu leave. Although he said this, he still felt reluctant to let her go.

She stood up and walked to the hammock, holding her chin and wondering why her hammock was not easy to use even though they were both hammocks. Was it because her posture was wrong?

Thinking of this, she decided to try again.

Since you have to dismantle it, just give it one last try before you give up.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chang turned around and closed the study door.

Then I learned my lesson this time, grabbed the two ends of the fishing net from the front, and stepped in first.

One foot was fine, but as soon as the second foot left the ground, his center of balance was unstable and he fell headfirst.

When he tried to struggle again, his neck was twisted and his waist was bent, and his hands and feet were entangled, so he could not get up.

In this situation, she should have called for help, but given her current situation, she couldn't make a sound for fear of being laughed at.

Just as his head was rushing down and he was about to faint from the congestion in his brain, there was a bang and the study door behind him was pushed open.

"Your Highness, the palace has issued an order that the wedding supplies have arrived, Your Highness..." The skinny monkey was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness? What are you doing?"

"Help me quickly?" Zhou Chang's face turned red and he had difficulty breathing. He couldn't care less about anything else.

"Haha..." The skinny monkey couldn't help laughing, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the fishing net, but he kept talking, "Your Highness, are you making dried fish? No, you are the descendant of a phoenix and a dragon, are you going to make roast goose with this big head?"

Zhou Chang landed on his feet again and sat on the ground. His whole body ached and his neck was cramping. He had no time to argue with the skinny monkey.

The skinny monkey also helped Zhou Chang to knead it, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, I said before that it's better to dismantle this thing. The Yuan family asked me about it privately, and I couldn't answer. A fishing net is a fishing net, a hammock is a hammock, and fans can't charge shark fins."

"Ah..." Zhou Chang held his jaws with both hands and shook his head. He felt something was wrong when he heard this. "What did you tell them?"

"Haha..., of course it's dried bacon. Our palace has always been self-reliant. We grow rice and vegetables in the yard, and of course we hang some dried vegetables and bacon in the house." The skinny monkey didn't know whether it was nonsense or the truth.

This fishing net is really an injustice.

If Zhou Chang's neck wasn't already twisted, his nose would have been twisted as well.

The skinny monkey rubbed his hands twice and then remembered the important business, and helped Zhou Chang up from the ground: "Hey, Prince, someone from the Ministry of Rites has come and sent gifts for the wedding, go and receive the decree."

"What's the hurry?" Zhou Chang felt like his whole body was out of place. He was laughed at by the skinny monkey, which made him even more angry.

It is true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

When I stood up, I felt my waist hurt more than my neck.

The skinny monkey didn't notice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have already arrived at the main hall. Mr. Zhong and Aunt Jing have already gone over to greet him. After all, he is an imperial envoy. It would be rude to wait too long."

Zhou Chang ignored him and stretched his waist twice: "Ouch, no, I twisted my waist, my neck and legs hurt too."

"It's okay, I'll carry you on my back." Whenever receiving an imperial order, Shouhou was always more proactive than Zhou Chang.

The skinny monkey stumbled into the central hall carrying Zhou Chang on his back.

Everyone was shocked.

Seeing this situation, the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs who came to deliver the imperial edict dared not force it.

This was exactly the effect Zhou Chang wanted, so he lay on the skinny monkey's back and received the imperial edict.

Afterwards, as soon as he sat down on the chair, he cried out to Aunt Jing in pain: "Aunt Jing, it hurts, go call Xinxian and Xinmu to come and give me a full body massage."

When the officials from the Ministry of Rites saw this, they dared not to provoke or ask too many questions. They just lowered their heads and handed over the gifts to Zhong Yu.

After the official who delivered the imperial edict left, Zhou Chang looked at the sun that was about to set behind the eaves outside the main hall gate and wondered, "Why did the imperial edict come so late? Couldn't it have come earlier?"

If she had come earlier, she might not have been caught in time.

On the contrary, at this moment, Xinxian and Xinmu who came over gave her a very comfortable massage.

Zhong Yu held the gift list in his hand and wanted to count it again: "Your Highness, this is according to the etiquette. Weddings are held at dusk. The dowry and betrothal gifts that come with the wedding are also given at dusk."

Zhou Chang had little knowledge in this area, mainly because she was a non-marriage advocate: "Oh, so that's how it is."

He glanced at the twelve large red-lacquered boxes in front of him, and then at the imperial edict at hand: "What did the imperial edict just say? The wedding date is set for February 29th?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these are great days." Aunt Jing seemed very satisfied.

Zhou Chang didn't know what the rules were for weddings on odd nights, but since February had the 29th, he asked an idiotic question: "Is this year a leap year?"

"No, Your Highness, today is the 29th day of the first lunar month. This year, the first lunar month only has 29 days." Zhong Yu didn't know what Zhou Chang wanted to ask.

The skinny monkey just circled around the big red box, trying to find something to eat: "Your Majesty, this is the first time that our palace has received so many rewards."

Zhou Chang was still stuck on the rules of ancient weddings, and couldn't help but ask again: "By the way, should these things be given to the Yuan family as betrothal gifts?"

"No need." Zhong Yu answered while counting the gift list, "The Ministry of Rites has its own rules for this part, and it should be taken care of."

"Oh..., that's more like it." Zhou Chang finally heard something gratifying.

Aunt Jing was picking up items while asking, "I haven't asked yet. What's wrong with the prince?"

"Nothing." Zhou Chang tried to gloss over the question and gave the skinny monkey a look, indicating that he couldn't say anything.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The skinny monkey couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "Your Highness, according to me, the big net in the study should be removed."

"No." Zhou Chang thought of how the skinny monkey compared her to dried bacon, and she suddenly felt rebellious.

"Is it related to the fishing net in the study?" Aunt Jing was puzzled and picked out two pieces of silk cloth to take a closer look.

Zhou Chang's face turned red and he glared at the skinny monkey again.

The thin monkey then said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, what I told others is that this is a spiritual net that can help Your Majesty attract wealth and ward off disasters."

"Monkey, where did this nonsense come from? The net is used to hang dust." Before Zhou Chang could react, Aunt Jing also became dissatisfied.

Zhou Chang glared at the thin monkey and said, "If that's what you said, then this net must not be dismantled. My reputation of 'leaving traces when the wind blows and plucking feathers when the geese pass' depends on it to continue to be maintained."

The skinny monkey didn't know whether he didn't hear the sarcasm or was just pretending to be confused: "If the prince says he won't demolish it, then so be it. If anyone dares to say anything bad in the future, I will kick him out."
