22. The Prime Minister's Tool Man Step-wife (22)
"Is there such a cultivation method?" Luo Changqing, no matter how knowledgeable and knowledgeable he was, had never heard of such a statement, so he couldn't help but become interested in this "grafting" method.
Xu Shichu knew something bad. The concept of grafting had probably not yet appeared in this era. Was she bringing up the concept of time and space again? She couldn't help but want to cover her eyes.
Luo Changqing was still eagerly waiting for her to continue explaining grafting. Xu Shichu racked his brains and finally had an idea. He remembered a word and said in surprise: "Mu Lianli! The name of our person here is Mu Lianli.
Trees form spontaneously, and 'grafting' is what outsiders call it, which refers to people taking the initiative to join the branches or buds of plants together."
She wiped the sweat from her forehead covertly and finally justified herself.
"So that's it, Mu Lianli - I've read this in some miscellaneous book." Luo Changqing suddenly realized, "The branches of two trees with different roots are connected together. Some people even say that this is auspicious, and it is regarded as an auspicious sign.
Speaking from an anecdote, I didn’t expect anyone to use this kind of thing in the cultivation of flowers and trees.”
"Yes, there are smart people everywhere." Xu Shichu chuckled and quickly changed the subject, "You can help the emperor choose slowly, I won't bother you."
After saying that, she picked off a yellow pingpong chrysanthemum and stuck it in her ear, then turned around and slipped away lightly, for fear that Luo Changqing would ask again something she didn't want to answer.
Luo Changqing watched her skipping away like a naughty little girl, squinting her eyes, rosy cheeks, red lips and white teeth, which complemented the goose-yellow flowers on her temples. She was so clear and charming that no one could see her.
She can't even take her eyes away.
Luo Changqing has always known that she has changed a lot. From appearance to personality, she is completely different from before, but now is the first time that he is shocked by the changes in Xu Shichu's appearance. His wife seems to be amazingly beautiful...
Xu Shichu didn't know what Luo Changqing was thinking, she was just happy to steal a large amount of money from the emperor again.
"My son, it's not that my mother didn't help you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, it's just that I sent many messages to Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu refused my request to come to visit you. It's really rude and arrogant!" Princess Shunyi frowned.
He frowned and said with dissatisfaction towards Xu Shichu, "I can't just come to propose marriage, right?"
In this era, it is extremely rude to go to someone's home without sending a message in advance, so when Xu Shichu rejected Princess Shunyi's message, Princess Shunyi could not come to the door.
"Then what should I do? If you don't propose marriage to me quickly, concubine, what if someone else takes the lead and decides on Miss Luo before me? Then wouldn't I have failed in my efforts?" Zhou Wencun said a little irritably.
"Didn't you say that your relationship with Miss Na Luo is going smoothly and that she is already in love with you? Why are you still worried about being snatched away?" Princess Shunyi asked in confusion, and then curled her lips, "She is not a willful person.
Do you like someone else?"
"Mother, what are you talking about? Don't you still know the charm of your son? Miss Luo is simple and naive, how could she escape my grasp? I'm just worried that Prime Minister Luo will act directly without asking her opinion.
It’s just to arrange a marriage between her and someone else." Zhou Wencun said confidently.
"I can't come to the door. Otherwise, you can ask your father to help you and ask him to tell Prime Minister Luo directly. I'm sure Prime Minister Luo will not refuse." Princess Shunyi suggested.
She believed that her son's family background was extraordinary, he was both talented and beautiful, and he had a noble status. It was Luo Yaqing's blessing that he could like Luo Yaqing. Luo Changqing would not reject this marriage without recognition.
"Okay! Then I'll go find my father!" Zhou Wencun wanted to settle the marriage between himself and Luo Yaqing as soon as possible, so he agreed to find his father for help.
So when it was time to go to court, Luo Changqing had just left the palace gate. The fat Prince Shunyi came over with a smile and said, "Mr. Luo, it's rare that there is nothing important to do today. Why don't we go to court early?"
Have a drink in a pub?”
Luo Changqing frowned. King Shunyi had never had any friendship with him. They were usually just acquaintances, but today he suddenly invited him for a drink with such enthusiasm. It was strange that he came to him for nothing.
Even if he refused the invitation to drink today, King Shunyi would find other opportunities to contact him, so Luo Changqing did not refuse and said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey."
The two arrived at the tavern and asked for a quiet private room. King Shunyi drank a few drinks and then got straight to the point: "What does Luo Xiang think of my king's youngest son? It's not that I am bragging. Although my king's youngest son is doted on by his mother and concubine,
, but he is a sensible, filial, respectful, talented, and handsome man. He fell in love with Ling Qianjin at first sight at Princess Ande’s last flower viewing party. He suffered from lovesickness and couldn’t bear it anymore, so he begged me to come and talk to Luo Luo.
Propose marriage..."
When Luo Changqing heard these words, his face immediately darkened: "My lord, please be careful what you say! My daughter's reputation as a good friend is important, please don't talk about love or lovesickness!"
Luo Yaqing was his only apple, and Luo Changqing cared too much about her marriage. How could he let King Shunyi propose marriage with such frivolous words? He became a little angry.
"Hey, Mr. Luo, you don't have to be like this. Miss Luo is both talented and beautiful. Isn't it normal that this guy likes me? It's a good thing to admire her at a young age. That guy and the talented and beautiful Ling Qianjin are really compatible.
"Very well, why doesn't Mr. Luo marry these little children?" King Shunyi didn't know if he drank too much, and his words became more and more confused.
Luo Changqing couldn't bear it any longer. He put the wine glass on the table with a loud bang, stood up, and said to Prince Shunyi expressionlessly: "Your Majesty must have drunk too much and was talking nonsense. Luo then left.
Got it!"
After saying that, he really turned around and left, with no intention of accepting the marriage.
Of course he didn't want his daughter to marry into the royal family, so what if it was the Prince of Shunyi who was favored by the emperor? Prince Shunyi was a philanderer, and he had countless concubines in the backyard, making the palace a mess.
There are many concubines, and there are also many concubine children. So what if Zhou Wencun, the youngest son of King Shunyi, is the only legitimate son? But he and his eldest brother who became the crown prince are not the same mother, so how good can their relationship be?
With her simple and innocent character, her daughter would suffer a lot of losses if she really married into the complex situation of the Shunyi Palace. When Luo Changqing thought of the situation of the Shunyi Palace, he didn't think it was a good marriage.
However, he thought so, but when he went back to his house and mentioned it to his daughter, he saw her looking shy.
"Then, father, have you agreed to the marriage proposal from the Prince of Shunyi?" Luo Yaqing asked Luo Changqing with her eyes wide open and full of expectation.
