Chapter 223: Night Visit to the Minister of Rites
Lu Chenshuang finally breathed freely. She pushed Mu Hansu away and gasped heavily.
When the tension eased a little, she glared at Mu Hansu fiercely. How come he seemed like he hadn't kissed her in several lifetimes? She thought she was going to suffocate to death.
But at this moment, Lu Chenshuang's eyes, which she thought were fierce, seemed seductive to Mu Hansu.
Her cheeks were blushing, her eyes were full of love, and the corners of her mouth were a little red and swollen.
Mu Hansu quietly swallowed his saliva and turned his head away. He was afraid that if he continued to watch, he would lose control and lose control.
Lu Chenshuang will have to meet the Queen Mother tomorrow, and it would be bad if she caused misunderstandings then.
When Lu Chenshuang saw that Mu Hansu was not looking at her, she touched her lips, probably because they were swollen.
He doesn't look like a greenhorn at all. I wonder how many women he has practiced on.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenshuang felt angry, and the consequence of her anger was that she drove Mu Hansu out.
Mu Hansu thought that he was too reckless and made her unhappy.
But it was clearly she who started it, he just couldn't help it for a moment. Of course, it was mainly because he didn't want to hold it in. God knows how hard it was for him to hold it in during this period.
No, he had to go to the Ministry of Rites and ask them to pick a date that was close to home. He wanted to get married, and he couldn't wait even a day.
Late at night, the Minister of Rites was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a shadow above his head and he immediately opened his eyes.
When he saw Mu Hansu sitting leisurely at the table, he was scared to death.
He didn't bother to put on his clothes and shoes, and quickly got out of bed, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know that you were visiting me so late at night, so I slept soundly. Please don't blame me."
Mu Hansu felt a little embarrassed when he saw the Minister of Rites kneeling on the ground trembling with fear at his old age.
But since he has come here, he can't just return empty-handed. He can't wait any longer.
Mu Hansu pretended to cough and said, "Okay, Master Chen, please get up.
I am sorry for visiting you so late at night. I came here at this time because I have something to discuss with you. "
When the Minister of Rites, Lord Chen, heard this, he was relieved. Mu Hansu was so polite, he probably wouldn't want to kill him. As long as he didn't want to kill him, everything would be fine.
So Lord Chen struggled to get up from the ground, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what you want to do."
Mu Hansu said calmly: “You know that my brother the emperor has granted me and Lu Chenshuang a marriage.
"None of the three books and six ceremonies have been performed yet, and I don't know when we will get married. I don't know if you have chosen a good date, Master Chen?"
It turned out to be about this matter. Lord Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly said, “The Ministry of Rites has been busy lately, but the prince’s matter is also a big deal, and the Queen Mother specifically instructed us to do so.
I have already selected a few dates and had planned to present it to His Majesty for review in the next two days."
After saying that, Lord Chen took out a written piece of paper from an almanac and handed it to Mu Hansu.
The emperor was busy deposing the empress recently, so the Ministry of Rites had more things to do. But they did not dare to neglect Mu Hansu's affairs.
Mu Hansu looked at the dates and frowned. The earliest one would be half a year later, and he couldn't wait that long.
Lord Chen had been an official for many years and was very good at observing people's expressions. Seeing this, he quickly asked, "Is the prince not satisfied with these days?"
Mu Hansu did not answer directly, but asked: "Is there a day closer?"
His answer showed that he felt that the Ministry of Rites was taking too long to select the date.
Master Chen said in embarrassment: "Yes, it is, but the time is too short. I am afraid that I won't be able to complete the three books and six ceremonies by then."
Mu Hansu glanced at him and asked, "When?"
Lord Chen replied: "Ten days later."
Mu Hansu was satisfied at this time, but it was a pity that no matter how anxious he was, he could not let Lu Chenshuang down.
The three books and six ceremonies will definitely not be completed in these ten days.
Mu Hansu frowned and asked, "Is there no other day?"
Lord Chen saw that Mu Hansu's tone was not very good, so he quickly said, "Your Highness, wait a moment, let me check it again."
Mu Hansu nodded when he heard this, then sat quietly aside and waited.
Lord Chen felt the pressure doubled upon seeing this.
If he fails to choose a candidate that the King of War likes today, the day will probably not end well.
Fortunately, hard work pays off and Mr. Chen really found a good day.
On the sixth day of October, the weather is clear and cool, which is a good time to get married.
Lord Chen took the almanac to Mu Hansu like he was presenting a treasure and said, "Your Majesty, October 6th is a good day."
Mu Hansu kept repeating the date "October 6th". Isn't that three months later?
This day was barely acceptable, as the three books and six ceremonies were completed during this period.
When Lord Chen saw the satisfied look on Mu Hansu's face, he also became happy.
God knows serving him is harder than serving the emperor.
Mu Hansu looked at Master Chen and said, "Sorry to bother you so late at night. Let's set it for October 6th."
After that, he took out his own horoscope from his sleeve, and then said: "This is my birth date and time. Tomorrow you will take the birth date and time of Miss Lu, and after you have calculated it, you can start the three books and six ceremonies.
I have already prepared the betrothal gifts. When I propose marriage, I will ask the respected members of the royal family to come along and propose marriage."
Upon hearing this, Lord Chen quickly responded.
Seeing that the work was done, Mu Hansu left with satisfaction.
As soon as he left, Lord Chen sat down on the stool. It seems that Lu Chenshuang has an extremely high status in the heart of His Royal Highness the King of War.
You have to be polite when you meet Lu Zhan in the court in the future.
In fact, Lord Chen was still very curious about what charm Lu Chenshuang, a divorced woman, had that made Mu Hansu care so much about her.
Lu Chenshuang didn't know that she couldn't help but move the wedding date forward by three months.
The next day, Lu Chenshuang got up early and looked at herself in the mirror.
Although I applied medicine on my lips last night, they are still a little red and swollen, and what's worse is that the skin is a little broken.
She still has to meet the Queen Mother today. Lu Chenshuang greeted Mu Hansu from head to toe in her heart.
Xiaoman and Guyu heard the noise and came over to help her wash up.
Xiaoman had the sharpest eyes. She asked in surprise, "Miss, what happened to your mouth? It looks red and a little broken."
Lu Chenshuang said calmly, "I was bitten by a mosquito yesterday. I couldn't help but scratch it because it was itchy, but I didn't expect the skin to be broken.
It's okay, I think it will be fine tomorrow."
Xiaoman didn't doubt it and scolded the vendor who sold them mosquito coils.
Later, Lu Chenshuang and Mu Hansu got married. In the cold winter, Lu Chenshuang's lips were often bitten by mosquitoes. Xiaoman then realized that she had wronged the vendor.
