Chapter 6387
However, she would not allow a person with bad conduct, or someone who only knew how to bring back a granddaughter-in-law from her mother's family, to cause trouble for the old lady.
The old lady treated her very well, so she sincerely hoped that the old lady would live a more comfortable life.
"Then I'll go with you." Meng Huo said immediately.
"Okay, as long as you don't mind it." Ping An felt that he might not be able to go.
The next day, she really received a message from Meng Huo, saying that he could not come.
Because the emperor summoned him to the palace to discuss the dispatch of troops.
Since Meng Huo and Luo Qingrou broke off their engagement, he was in good health, and successfully controlled the flood, the emperor paid more and more attention to him.
Ping An used these two days to observe the young ladies selected by the old lady.
Finally, two people with excellent character were selected.
One was the second daughter of Sun Shangshu, and the other was the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The old lady was also satisfied with the two girls. Seeing that the granddaughters said that they had good character, it must be right.
So the matter was settled.
I just waited for Luo Yu to meet them one day to see which one won his heart more.
…
The palace suddenly received a message that the people of the Imperial Observatory said that the stars and the moon were dim recently, and suggested that the emperor go to the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings before sending troops, so as to ensure the prosperity of the country and the people.
After hearing this, the emperor asked people to make arrangements immediately, and asked the empress to pass down the imperial decree, and the female relatives with imperial edicts above the third rank should accompany them.
The old lady and the eldest lady of the Luo family both had imperial edicts, and Ping An was the county lord conferred by the emperor, so the three of them had to go together.
Fortunately, Tongtong Temple was just outside Kyoto, and when that day came, the carriages of each family followed the emperor and empress's sedan chair out of the city.
Ping An lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw Meng Huo riding a horse and talking to a mighty man.
Their horses were still a little behind, so Ping An could see the man's appearance clearly. The man was wearing a black battle robe and looked quite mighty, much stronger than Meng Huo who had just recovered from his illness.
As for his appearance, he was also extremely handsome.
Meng Huo felt her eyes looking at her, Ping An waved her hand carefully at him, smiling.
The Prince Yi beside him also looked over, his eyes were as cold as ice cones, most girls would tremble with fear, but Ping An nodded politely at him.
Then, she put down the curtain.
"Is this the Luo Qingqing you mentioned?" Prince Yi looked at his nephew beside him.
"Yes, uncle, she is a very good girl, especially kind-hearted." Meng Huo hurriedly said good things for Ping An.
"..." Prince Yi didn't say anything.
Meng Huo frowned slightly, "Uncle, really!"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Meng Huo, "..."
No wonder the uncle has been single all the time, with such a temper, which lady dares to marry him.
After Ping An put down the curtain, he picked up the snacks and started eating. After eating the snacks, they arrived outside the Xiangguo Temple. After getting off the car, everyone was arranged to rest first.
Several princes went to see the emperor.
Meng Huo coughed from time to time, and his face didn't look good.
The emperor frowned and looked at him, "Didn't you get better after breaking off the engagement with Miss Luo? Why are you coughing again?"
"I am incompetent and have caused you to worry." Meng Huo couldn't stop coughing.
The emperor frowned even more, and the host on the side suddenly said, "It would be best for the eighth prince to find a girl with a matching horoscope to get married. Not only will it help the eighth prince get better, but it will also help the country's fortune."
The emperor was immediately interested when he heard this. After all, which emperor doesn't want the country to prosper, not to mention that they are still fighting.
"Master, please give me a horoscope for my son." The emperor immediately asked someone to give Meng Huo's birth date and horoscope to the host.
The host took it respectfully.
A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the prince on the side. Damn, if Meng Huo can help the country's fortune, then what is he as a prince?
"Amitabha, the Eighth Prince's horoscope, it would be best if he could find a woman born on September 25th of the Gengwu year to be engaged to the Eighth Prince."
"But, Luo Qingrou's birthday was on this day?" The Queen frowned and looked at the host in confusion.
"Queen, I haven't finished talking yet. Even if they were born on the same day, a slight difference in the time of birth would still make a huge difference! I have seen the horoscope of that donor Luo, and it happens to be incompatible with the Eighth Prince. Now we just need to find someone born at that time who would be a perfect match for the Eighth Prince." The host said.
When Luo Sheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought of what his daughter had said to him, and he deeply suspected that the host had been bribed.
Because his daughter suddenly found him before and said that if the emperor personally arranged a marriage for her, there was no need to object.
But she didn't say who it was.
Could it be that his daughter was really with the Eighth Prince?
But he had been engaged to Luo Qingrou, how could this be possible?
Luo Sheng was in a mess, but he didn't dare to speak.
The abbot spoke again, saying that the woman with this birth date is extremely noble, not only will she bring prosperity to her husband and family, but also to the country and the king!
Who is the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple? A high monk, if he says it is true.
So the emperor suddenly thought of something, and looked at Luo Sheng, "I remember that the daughter you found was born earlier than the previous one?"
"I dare not hide it, my daughter Qingqing was indeed born at that time." Luo Sheng was afraid, because he was afraid that the suspicious emperor would doubt it.
Even if Luo Sheng thought too much this time, the emperor would not trust anyone, and he would not distrust the abbot of Xiangguo Temple. Moreover, what he needed most now was someone who could make the country and the king prosperous!
At this time, Meng Huo coughed twice again. The emperor looked at his son and immediately said, "Lord Luo, how about marrying Princess Ping'an to Lao Ba first?"
Luo Sheng did not dare to raise his head, and hurriedly said, "My daughter is rude and stupid. I am afraid that I will humiliate the royal family."
Although he said he was afraid, he did not refuse.
"Alas, I have seen Qingqing. She is a good match for Lao Ba. Moreover, she has done so many good things since she returned home. Now the people like her very much. It is also the expectation of everyone to let her marry into the royal family. Lord, you don't have to be modest. This matter is settled." The emperor made the final decision.
Luo Sheng knelt down to thank him.
Meng Huo also knelt down to thank him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
While this side was happy, someone was unhappy over there. This person was the prince.
The prince thought about his request to marry Luo Qingqing, but was rejected by Luo Sheng, and he hated him too.
What prosperous country, prosperous family! I am the future emperor!
No matter what the prince thought, Meng Huo got what he wanted.
Today everyone is fasting in Xiangguo Temple, and tomorrow they can hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the sky, and then they can return to the palace.
Ping An was quite surprised when she knew that she was really given a marriage to Meng Huo. When she knew the reason, she couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Meng Huo understood the emperor's heart the best.
