I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

However, when Chu Yueying heard her words, she became anxious.

"You knew this news a few days ago? Why didn't you report it!"

Rong'er had followed her for a long time and had become very brave. She was not afraid of the princess' sudden yelling. She did not stop serving the dishes, but just tilted her head and spoke slowly.

"I did report it. You interrupted me halfway through that day and said you only wanted to hear news about your brothers..."

Although he was not afraid of punishment, he thought that it was his master's lifelong event after all, so his voice became weaker and weaker.

……

"Okay, okay, forget it this time. Next time you hear something about me, remember to tell me."

Yueying took two mouthfuls of rice without much interest, then stood up and walked towards the garden.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

"Did the supervisor come up with a decision on the day of the princess' wedding?"

The emperor's formulaic questions made the director of the Imperial Observatory unsure of what answer to give.

The emperor summoned me yesterday and said he would give me the result in two days. For some reason, he hurriedly summoned me to the palace again today...

"You didn't even calculate the most auspicious day for the prince's wedding? You're really brave!"

With a plop, the warden fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, the evolution of nature will change slightly over time. This is based on different people's birth dates... The most auspicious days are also different for a few days..."

Yu Jian was quickly analyzing the emperor's intentions in his mind and responding carefully.

"You mean, my throne will also deviate as time goes by?"

The emperor did not accept this answer.

God's will, my own opinion is God's will. To put it bluntly, the Imperial Observatory serves me. If it cannot understand the emperor's will, then I should consider changing someone to manage it.

"I dare not. I...I went back to the palace yesterday and calculated overnight. The eighth day of next month is still the most suitable day for the princess to get married this year. I just wanted to calculate it a few more times to avoid mistakes. So I dare not speak frankly just now. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Yu Jianzheng probably understood what answer the emperor wanted, and spoke carefully. Seeing that the emperor's expression did not change, he felt a little relieved.

"Well, I understand. Just in case, my dear, go back and give us another demonstration today. Tell us about it when you go to court tomorrow."

After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

"I accept your order. I will take my leave."

Yu Jianzheng's forehead and back were covered with cold sweat, and his palms were also sweaty. When he saw the emperor waving his hand, he quickly got up and walked out, fearing that he would be beheaded if he was a second late.

After leaving the imperial study, she walked along the palace road, wiping her forehead with her sleeve. "To live with the emperor is like living with a tiger. The princess is obviously deeply favored, but judging from what the emperor said just now, he is setting a date to let the princess marry a prince consort hastily. It is really hard to understand."

Yu Jian was planning to go home and prepare a good excuse, so as not to sacrifice his own life or even the lives of his entire family just because of choosing a wedding date for the princess.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Jianzheng arrived home, the housekeeper who was waiting at the door came up to him and whispered.

"Master, the prince's confidant is waiting for you in the front hall."

"Go and report back. I'll change into my official uniform and then go to the front hall."

When Yu Jianzheng heard the news, he suddenly felt a twitching pain in his neck. He covered it with his hand and went to the bedroom.

"Lord Akabane, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I just came back from the palace and changed my clothes before rushing here. I dare not neglect you."

"Master Yu, you are too polite. Official business is more important. I have some personal matters to ask you. It's okay to wait."

Akabane was polite in words, but his eyes were signaling to Yu Jianzheng to send the servant away.

After there was no one else in the room, Akabane stood up and walked to Yu Jianzheng, whispering in his ear.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince wants you to ask the Supervisor to postpone the princess' wedding date to one year later."

"No... no, I have already reported the result to His Majesty today."

Yu Jianzheng was shocked. He had just been scolded by the emperor and fled back home, so why did the prince come to him again?

"Immutable?"

Akabane moved the sword at his waist with his left hand, and stroked the gem embedded on it with his thumb in circles.

"The emperor has agreed to announce it at the morning court tomorrow..."

"Swish" the sword is unsheathed.

"Immutable?"

Akabane's tone was exceptionally calm, as if the person holding the sword and striking Yu Jianzheng's neck was not him.

"Lord Akabane, what are you going to do? Do you want me to bully you? You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."

He was inexplicably threatened with a sword. On one side was the current emperor, and on the other was the crown prince. It would be a disaster if he showed his head high, and it would be the same if he kept his head low. Lord Yu made up his mind and simply closed his eyes.

"Akabane dare not, please let the Lord know the date."

Akabane put away the sword in his hand and sighed secretly, fearing that he would not be able to complete the task assigned by the prince.

"It's the same day as the prince's wedding."

"Akabane has no intention of offending you today. I am just afraid that you may be hiding something, so I have to test you. Please do not blame me. Akabane is leaving~"

When Yu Jianzheng saw Akabane open the door and step over the threshold, he relaxed and slumped in his chair.

I need to think hard about what happened today.

Just as he was thinking about it, the butler came in to report.

"Sir, there is a young man who won't tell you who he is, but says that if you give me this note, you will see him."

I opened the folded note and saw only one word "Yi" written on it.

It wasn't just the pain in his neck that made Yu Jian feel like packing up and running away immediately. He barely controlled his legs and ordered the housekeeper to bring the person in quickly.

Yu Jianzheng, who was originally slumped in a sitting position, did not expect that the person brought in by the butler was Chu Yi himself.

He jumped up from his seat and prepared to kneel down to salute.

"Uncle, long time no see."

Li Yi was smiling, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yu Jianzheng who was about to kneel down, and then said.

"It's been many years since we last met."

"Oh, yes, you go down first."

Yu Jianzheng was slightly stunned, then he realized that the eldest prince was trying to avoid being seen, so he quickly waved his arm and asked the two or three cleaning people who had just come in to go out.

"Your humble servant greets Prince Yi."

"No need to be so polite. I came here today just to ask the Supervisor about the date of Princess Anle's wedding. Is that possible..."

Another princess' wedding! Yu Jianzheng held onto the corner of the table to steady himself.

"Prince Yi, the power of heaven is unpredictable. We calculated the will of heaven, but it is just a suitable result. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Since the prince had come in person, it would be inappropriate to offend him by making a joke, so Yu Jianzheng simply made it clear.

"Oh, that's enough. I thank the Supervisor for his clear instructions. I will take my leave now."

Chu Yi had expected this result when he heard that the emperor had summoned the Imperial Observatory into the palace, but he still wanted to try a little harder.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Outside the princess mansion.

Chu Yi unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the princess's mansion. In fact, he didn't quite understand why he did these things. Before, it was because he found out that the prince was very interested in the seventh brother, and then the seventh brother became the seventh sister, and then he found out that the seventh sister was very interesting in doing things. He investigated all the way and became very interested in this woman who hid so many secrets.

"This ancient window is not as good as glass. You have to open the window to see the moon."

As a modern person, after living in such an ancient environment for more than half a year, I am still not used to going to bed early. But if I don’t go to bed early, it will be really boring. Every day I either practice calligraphy or speculate on the development of the plot, or what actions so-and-so has taken.

Just like now, Yueying has been thinking about it for a whole day, but still doesn’t understand. When the emperor started to grant marriages yesterday, he was smiling, but then he suddenly became unhappy for some reason. She didn’t disobey him, right?

If there were any who disobeyed his wishes, it was those two. Why did the emperor look at him with such dissatisfaction?

Is it because they suggested that the princess should get married later and she didn't object?

Do you really want your daughter to get married early?

Or is there something that the top scholar cannot reveal?

Could it be that the top scholar is the emperor’s illegitimate son?

Then the emperor found out that she was not his biological daughter?

He can't wait to reuse his son?

It must be like this.

Compared with the wedding of the son and the fake daughter, the son’s wedding is definitely more important!

Yueying hadn't figured out something all day, but just at that moment, she felt like she suddenly got the idea. This was an incredible secret.

Thinking of Chu Chen, Yueying suppressed the discomfort in her heart and decided to follow the emperor's wishes, otherwise she would lose her head, fail the mission, and would not be able to go back.

On the second day of the court session, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory gave a good date for the princess to get married: the first day was the same day as the crown prince, the second day was three and a half years later, and the third day was five years later. Ministers submitted memorials one after another, saying that the princess should be given up this year and that they should be even happier.

The emperor said that he loved his daughter very much and had to listen to her opinion.

After the court session, Yueying was led to the imperial study by the chief eunuch. The old servant took the initiative to tell her what happened in the court.

Yueying's mouth curled up, "Luckily, I have figured out the secret, otherwise I would not understand what the old eunuch meant. If I hadn't been sensible and chosen for three to five years, I'm afraid the emperor would be so anxious that he would cripple me, and might even force a wedding on me to bring good luck."

"Jian Zheng, tell An Le about the wedding date."

The emperor still sat on the throne with a fatherly smile on his face.

"Princess Anle, based on your and the champion's birth dates, I have calculated three dates. One is one month from now, and the others are three and a half years and five years from now."

After saying this, Yu Jianzheng lowered his head, stepped aside, and pretended to be invisible.

"Anle, father wants to hear your thoughts. After all, you have just regained your status as a princess, and your brothers also want you to get used to it a little more..."

This old fox is setting a trap for me. He has this idea and that idea. Why don’t you tell me what your idea is?

"Father, Mr. Li sent Anle back to the mansion the day before yesterday. Although it was the first time we met, I still had a very good impression of him."

Yueying deliberately lowered her voice when she said "I had a very good impression" and her face showed a shy look like a girl.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw Anle's appearance.

"I knew this person was a rare talent and would definitely catch my son's eye."
