Chapter 23 Set an auspicious date

I picked up the last black crystal dagger on the table and put it in the sun to show them, the master and the servant: "Look, the blades on both sides of this dagger are ground very thin. Under the sunlight, it can show a colorful black! It looks good, right? It looks so good, so it's mine~"

"It looks good, but you haven't even sharpened the blade, how can it hurt anyone? After you catch someone, are you going to sharpen it on their neck?" Seventeen said as he looked at my dagger.

“Hahahaha, I got the picture. I didn’t think much about it when I bought it. I just noticed that it looked good.”

"Where did you get the money to buy these daggers?" Xiao Zhengxuan played with his dagger in his hand.

"Manager Xu has paid our wages today. It's a full fifty-five taels!"

Seventeen was surprised: "What!"

"Hehehe, isn't that awesome! Shopkeeper Xu said that the store made a lot of profit last month because the clothes I designed sold well. This is my share!" He raised his eyebrows at them.

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled but said nothing.

Seventeen: "I never thought that the silk shop, which usually has a bleak business, would be revived!"

"Of course not! It will be even better in the future. Our silk shop will definitely become a benchmark in the industry!"

“Although I don’t understand it, it feels good…” Seventeen muttered softly.

I remembered that he went to inquire about Lei Lei's news today, and immediately asked him if he had any results.

"I asked many people today. Since the day we met the princess, the only suspicious woman is the one we suspected was a spy a while ago. However, she is very different from the portrait you gave me." Seventeen reported truthfully.

"Is it possible that she is wearing makeup or removing it? Oh, you should call this disguise... Could Leilei be the spy you are talking about? After all, you also thought I was a spy when I first came here! We are unfamiliar with this place, and our behavior must be suspicious!" I asked Seventeen anxiously and then looked at the prince.

"Sneaky?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked me.

I nodded vigorously. Yes, you are almost able to integrate into our world.

Xiao Zhengxuan glanced at Seventeen and nodded.

Seventeen said to me, "It can't be that spy. She passed on the message a few days ago and left."

"What? Let her go? Aren't you going to catch the spy? Then why are you following her? It can't be for protection..." I asked in surprise, thinking that you guys are pretty nice...

Seventeen suddenly stretched his neck towards me, and I quickly stretched my neck towards him as well! This is a sign that something is wrong!

"The person who contacted her is one of ours~" Seventeen said in a low voice.

"Oh oh oh oh ~ cast a long line to catch a big fish!" He raised his hand and gave him a thumbs-up.

After saying that, I lowered my head and thought, even the palace couldn’t find her, so could it be that Lei Lei didn’t wear it?

Xiao Zhengxuan: "Don't worry, Princess. Today is only the first day. Looking for a needle in a haystack in the imperial city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are some places we can't ask openly. We need to inquire carefully. I will inform you immediately when I have news." He nodded at me.

"Yes, okay. Thank you, Prince and Seventeen." He bowed to the two of them.

"My wife is looking for her sisters, so how can I not help her?" Xiao Zhengxuan turned sideways and looked at me and said with a smile.

Seventeen, with a red face, immediately took his leave and trotted out of the yard.

Before he reached the door, he ran back, took the dagger from the table and ran away again.

"You can perform anywhere now! Your skills are becoming more and more proficient! I admire you!" I teased him with a smile.

"I went to the palace today to ask my mother about our wedding date."

"Oh? Has the date been set?"

He looked at my anxious eyes and shook his head helplessly, "The Astronomical Bureau has given us a few days to come back and discuss it with you."

I nodded, "Okay, let me hear you."

He took out a piece of paper from his arms with a few days written on it.

"This year there are only two auspicious days, September 5th and November 3rd. Next year there is also April 9th..."

I supported his arm holding the paper and said, "Let's do it this year to avoid any more trouble."

He looked at me and smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Princess."

I looked at the dates and said, "Let's set it for September 5th. Otherwise, October is too cold. It won't look good in a wedding dress! By the way, Your Majesty, how did you tell others my birthday? We don't use the same calendar."

"I recall that the princess mentioned that she was twenty-six years old before, so I replaced the princess' birthday with a year two years older than me, and the rest is still the princess' original birthday. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"No, no, I'm afraid that people will know my age and think I'm a monster and sacrifice me to the gods... and Your Highness doesn't look like he's 24. He looks like a kid in his early twenties." I leaned over to take a closer look at his face.

"I told you at the beginning that as long as I'm here, I won't let you take any risks. Also, why am I acting like a child?" He tilted his head and glared at me, looking for an answer.

I nodded quickly. "I believe you, I believe you, I'm just curious. Can you please tell me how we should prepare after the date is set?"

"After the marriage was granted last month, my mother ordered people to start handling our wedding, so we will definitely make it in time. Also, the fifth day of August is my mother's birthday, so we need to go to the palace to celebrate her birthday."

"That's really a big hassle for the Queen. You have to take care of your own birthday while also worrying about our wedding. I also have to hurry up and prepare a gift for the Queen."

Xiao Zhengxuan said politely, "Thank you, Princess."

"Hey, isn't that what should be done? By the way, Your Highness, what was the name of the jewelry store you told me about last time? I'm going there tomorrow to get that hairpin made quickly." She looked at him and asked.

"I'll go with you tomorrow. It's getting late, so you can have dinner with me here."

He saw that I was a little hesitant: "There is a green onion rabbit."

"Okay, okay, I was just thinking about the material I ordered. It's not that I don't want to eat here, don't get me wrong." Seeing that he was a little unhappy, I quickly explained, don't let the child think too much, and come back and think that he can't even find anyone to eat with.

He looked at me, smiled gently and said "OK".

During the meal, I asked him about the Queen's preferences, Xiao Zhengxuan's childhood, etc., and learned a lot.

Wait until the Queen's birthday to make sure that no one hates you and avoid the spoils that need to be avoided. Otherwise, how can you further help Xiao Zhengxuan ease the relationship between mother and son?

Oh, it doesn’t matter what I say. I was really angry when I heard all the things about it.

As he spoke, he took the Qilin jadeite from the desk next to him, placed it on the table and pushed it towards me: "Princess, look at this jadeite, it must be familiar to you!"

I nodded in confusion: "Yeah, I often see you playing with it!"

"When I first saw this jade, I was attracted by its delicate and moist texture like ice. So I went to ask my father for it." Xiao Zhengxuan said, and his hopeful eyes immediately turned lonely.
