The story that the emperor summoned Lady Cheng but was rebuked and rejected by Chen Shao spread quickly.

"Your Majesty summoned Mrs. Cheng again?" Gao Lingbo asked, "Why?"

The subordinate shook his head.

"I don't know. The chamberlain didn't say anything, and Chen Shao didn't ask and just scolded him back."

Gao Lingbo waved his hand, his subordinates stepped back and followed him up.

"Go and ask the palace," he said.

The follower responded and left.

The noble concubine in the palace only found out after being asked, and her reaction was much more emotional than Gao Lingbo's.

"What else are you going to do?" she said, "Isn't it enough that Concubine An is pregnant?"

"Your Majesty," the chamberlain on the side hurriedly and cautiously warned, "This is not something you can say."

The imperial concubine threw the stove out and turned around angrily.

The chambermaid picked it up hurriedly and carefully.

"Isn't she pregnant? She was granted the title of Jin, and her family was rewarded with honors, and she was served with all kinds of royal meals, and she was also given songs and dances for her entertainment. Who hasn't given birth yet?" The imperial concubine said aggrievedly, "What?

How valuable is he? He comes from a family that makes vats!"

The waiter smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not here for Concubine An's wealth." He said, "What's more valuable is that Your Majesty has a son."

Although he is no longer a man, he knows that all men in the world are the same and would be proud of themselves for being so old and strong.

The imperial concubine snorted and sat down angrily.

"If this continues, Your Majesty may ask the immortal to ask what kind of appearance the palace will be like!" she said.

At this point, he scolded Feng Lin again.

"He is also a loser. He can't even deal with a little girl. He deserves to be kicked out."

The waiter followed with advice and laughter.

"Madam, it's useless to talk about the matter at this point." He said, "At this time, it is better to ask why Your Majesty summoned Madam Cheng."

The imperial concubine sighed and turned around.

"Where is your Majesty?" she asked.

A chamberlain bowed his head and came forward.

"I just came out of the Queen Mother's place and went to Concubine An's palace," he said.

The imperial concubine twisted the brocade handkerchief in her hands.

"Let's go and see Concubine An." She took a deep breath and said with a smile on her face.

At this time, Prince Jin'an also put down his tea bowl and prepared to leave.

"By the way." He smiled and thought of something, "Does your family still propose marriage to you now?"

Marriage? Why do you suddenly say this?

Banqin raised his head.

Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head.

Prince Jin'an showed a somewhat proud smile and pointed at himself.

"I do." He smiled.

Cheng Jiaoniang smiled slightly.

"Congratulations, Your Highness," she said.

The prince of Jin'an County smiled and waved his hands.

"No, no," he said, "They brought it up but I pushed it away."

Having said this, he reached out and touched his nose.

"I think, I was sent to the palace by my parents since I was a child. Others have always made decisions, and I have never made my own decisions." He said, stopped laughing, and exhaled, "So I want to make my own decisions.

Once."

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"Have you ever thought about who you want to marry?" Prince Jin'an said.

After saying this, he looked at the maid with a strange expression, and then at Cheng Jiaoniang who seemed to be slightly stunned.

Isn't this...this topic inappropriate?

Shouldn't this be said between friends?

"I never thought about it," Cheng Jiaoniang said, "You'll know it when you meet it..."

I met it, saw it, that's all, there are so many reasons why.

She picked up the bowl and sipped her tea slowly.

"I haven't thought about it either. It's probably like this."

The prince of Jin'an County laughed hurriedly and ended this strange topic.

"Anyway, I have made the decision now, so I turned it down."

Saying this, he stood up and left.

"Have you made the decision yourself?" Cheng Jiaoniang suddenly asked.

Prince Jin'an's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and he cried out.

Yes, he can make the decision himself, and he won't let them just give him someone...

No, don't worry.

Don't worry? She, what is she worried about? It's not her business...

Prince Jin'an felt uncomfortable all over.

"Hey, that's right." He had another idea, "I want to make a bet with you."

Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and as expected she stopped continuing the topic.

"You bet with me?" she asked.

"Yes, let's bet..." King Jin'an thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Let's bet on whether there will be a lunar eclipse on the 15th."

Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and smiled slightly.

"You bet me on this?" she asked again.

"Yes, just bet on this. I don't believe you can really calculate so accurately." Prince Jin'an said seriously.

"At four o'clock in the Chou period, we can see that the west is in the wing five times out of ten, and at six o'clock when it is eclipsed, it is even eight o'clock strong, so that the unitary ground enters the turbid world and disappears." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Do you still want to bet?" [Note 1]

Prince Jin'an smiled. This was the first time he saw this woman talking to him in such a tone.

It seems that the waiter was right...

"Let's bet." He said, "If you lose, give the other party... one thousand guan."

Banqin was so stunned that he lost his expression.

A bet? A thousand dollars?

Which of the two of them lacks this little money?

She glanced across the two of them and saw Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"Okay." she said.

"Don't refuse to pay if you lose."

Prince Jin'an smiled and stretched out his fingers at her, turned around and strode away. When he stepped out of the door, the smile on his face did not diminish, but grew stronger.

Definitely lost.

The more Prince Jin'an thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.

"Your Highness."

A slightly high-pitched voice made Prince Jin'an come back to his senses and look at the car curtain that was lifted.

One of the chamberlains was making some inquiries.

"Are you going to the palace now?"

"What are you doing in the palace?" Prince Jin'an asked.

The waiter was stunned.

"Your Highness, did Mrs. Cheng tell you about the lunar eclipse?" he asked.
