Long Live the Empress

Chapter 347: Engagement (2)

The betrothal gift requires the presence of elders from both parties. Yue Jinghao’s elder was the eldest princess, while Yan Liyuan found the imperial tutor.

The Imperial Preceptor was the teacher of two generations of emperors, and his disciples were spread all over the country. Because the Imperial Preceptor was upright, knowledgeable, did not seek wealth and honor, and focused on imparting knowledge, he enjoyed a very high reputation among his students.

Originally, the Imperial Master was quite happy when Yan Liyuan came to his house, wondering how this boy had time to come over. However, when he heard that he wanted to propose marriage, he refused on the spot.

"I am a teacher, not a matchmaker. How can I do that? I won't go!"

Yan Liyuan was not angry. He took out a piece of black ink with a hint of red and placed it on the table.

The Imperial Master immediately smiled until his teeth were exposed, and his hand stroked the ink stick. His words changed: "A Yuan is going to get married, how can I not help? When are you going to propose?"

……

At this moment, the Imperial Master stroked his white beard, looked Yue Jing up and down, and nodded in appreciation, "A Yuan has good taste!"

How many students has the Imperial Master taught? His sharp eyes have long been trained to be as sharp as a fire eye. As long as he says something good about someone, he will definitely have a great future!

After hearing this, the people present couldn't help but flatter the Princess and Yue Jing.

The Imperial Preceptor personally presented the three books, "Please have a look, Princess!"

The so-called three books are the engagement letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter.

A letter of engagement is a document used to sign an engagement. When a man and a woman sign an engagement, the man's family gives the woman's family a piece of paper.

The gift book is a document used when the man's family sends the betrothal gift, which lists the contents of the betrothal gift.

Yingshu is the document that the groom's family gives to the bride's family when welcoming the bride into the family.

After looking through it, the eldest princess nodded with satisfaction and exchanged it with Yue Jinghao's birth date.

The next thing was that Yan Liyuan and Yue Jinghao exchanged tokens of love.

Yan Liyuan prepared a pair of jade pendants with colorful clouds chasing the moon. Of course, his was the cloud, and Yue Jinghao's was the moon...

He was the one chasing her...

Yue Jinghao's face was as red as if she had applied a whole bottle of rouge. She lowered her head and handed the token she had prepared to Yan Liyuan.

It's a pair of cloud-shaped white jade hairpins...

The man’s hairpin is slightly thicker, and the cloud pattern is grand yet elegant. The woman’s hairpin is slightly thinner, and the cloud pattern is soft yet pretty!

Yan Liyuan took the hairpin, and the joy in his eyes made the imperial teacher's eyes red.

Finally someone cares about this child!

……

The Imperial Preceptor was talking to the eldest princess when he heard Yan Liyuan cough lightly.

The two pretended not to hear and continued talking.

Yan Liyuan covered his lips and coughed hard.

The Imperial Master asked in confusion, "Ah Yuan, have you caught a cold?"

"..." Yan Liyuan...

Wang Yi leaned in front of the Imperial Master and whispered...

The Imperial Master gave Yan Liyuan a look that said, "Look at your potential."

"Haha, Princess, you see the betrothal gifts have been given, shouldn't we discuss the wedding date?" the imperial teacher said with a smile.

"Hey, Jing'er is still young, I want to keep her for a few more years!" The eldest princess was very conflicted. She wanted to keep Yue Jinghao by her side, but she also wanted Yue Jinghao to have her own happiness...

Yan Liyuan couldn't sit still after hearing this. He had already ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to pick out June 19, two months later, as a very good date! Although May 20 was also a good date, Yan Liyuan felt it was too close and was afraid that the wedding preparations would be rushed and Yue Jinghao would be treated unfairly, so he chose June 19...

The Imperial Master looked at Yan Liyuan calmly, and smiled secretly, thinking: Don’t look at this kid sitting there in a decent manner, he must be very anxious in his heart! He has been thoughtful since he was a child, and he never shows his thoughts. Now it seems that he really has deep feelings for this woman...

"Hey, Princess, what you said is wrong! There are so many complicated things to do in such a huge Qiansui Mansion. How can it be managed without a mistress to take care of it? Besides, Ayuan is not young anymore and is busy with official duties all day long. If there is no one who cares about him, wouldn't the child suffer a lot?" said the imperial teacher.

The princess pursed her lips and looked at Yan Liyuan who was looking expectantly at the bottom...

"Well, to be honest with you, Princess, when A Yuan came to ask me to propose marriage that day, I almost didn't recognize him. Look at his thin body...his face is so thin that he looks unrecognizable...well..." The Imperial Master said, and even wiped the corners of his eyes without tears with his sleeve...

Yue Jinghao listened to the emperor's words, and her eyes twitched...

How did you know Yan Liyuan was thin? How did his face become so thin?

The princess thought of Yan Liyuan's frail body but determined look when he was a child, and nodded unconsciously, "Then let's ask someone to look at the future..."

"There is no need to invite anyone else. A Yuan has already asked the Imperial Observatory. June 19th is a good day! What do you think, Princess?" said the imperial teacher.

"..."The eldest princess...

It turned out that Yan Liyuan had already planned it out. It was a pity that she felt sorry for him just now...

Seeing that the princess had not responded for a long time, Yan Liyuan could no longer sit still, so he stood up, bowed, and said, "Please grant me your blessing, Princess!"

Given Yan Liyuan's status, why would he even need to ask for help?

But it was this word "ask" that moved Yue Jinghao so much that her eyes turned red...

The eldest princess understood Yan Liyuan's meaning very well. No matter how reluctant she was to leave Yue Jinghao, she finally just sighed and nodded in agreement.

Yan Liyuan looked up at Yue Jinghao who was standing next to the princess and smiled with satisfaction...

Jiu Qian Sui smiled...

To outsiders, this seems like a terrifying thing!

Even the Imperial Master rolled his eyes. He had watched this kid grow up, and this was the first time he had seen him laugh so heartily...
