small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 103
Without the emperor's order, the court lady consciously stepped forward to replace the teacup opposite him.

"Sit down!" The emperor motioned to Mu Qiu.

She sat down on the seat opposite the emperor with trepidation, obviously feeling the warmth of meaning on the stool.

"It seems that someone really came here, it can't really be King Heng?" The more Mu Qiu thought about it, the more irritable he became.

The emperor didn't have any other expressions, and kept staring at the chessboard in front of him seemingly calmly.

"Can you play chess?"

"Going back to the emperor, a commoner girl can't play chess." This is really embarrassing for Mu Qiu. Soul, as a modern person, forgives her for only playing backgammon. As for the elegant game of go, she has never tried it.

The emperor also saw her nervousness: "I am not an ignorant person, so you don't have to feel cautious."

Mu Qiu maintained a high level of tension at this time, and suddenly heard the emperor say that, she always felt that the other party seemed to have something in his words.It's not unreasonable, does it mean that he won't just make a direct decision on the marriage?Mu Qiu felt that he might still have a chance to make some suggestions.

"I heard that you and the Tong family are cooperating recently. It seems to be some kind of planting base, right?"

This turn was too fast, Mu Qiu didn't come back to his senses, until the father-in-law beside him reminded: "Girl, the emperor is asking you something!"

Mu Qiu suddenly returned to God and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't mean to blame her, but continued to ask: "I also heard that you want to grow grapes?"

"Yes." Mu Qiu shed a few drops of cold sweat in her heart, she really doubted whether the emperor planted spies by her side.

"Tell me, what is the use of planting this grape?"

It stands to reason that what the emperor asks is a commercial secret, but for the emperor, where is there any commercial secret at all?It's a good thing that he didn't take his anger out on someone and cut off her head.So Mu Qiu confessed everything.At first she thought the emperor was just curious and casually asking, but seeing him listening so earnestly, Mu Qiu started to take it seriously and explained everything very clearly.

The emperor patiently listened to Mu Qiu's words, and it was time to eat in a blink of an eye.The father-in-law at the side saw that the time was getting late, so he had to risk his life to interrupt the conversation between the two.

Mu Qiu thought that she would be able to go back at this time, but the emperor specially asked her to stay for dinner.Although the table was full of delicacies from mountains and seas, Mu Qiu was not in the mood to taste delicious food. After a tense meal, the emperor did not continue to ask Mu Qiu any questions, but directly arranged for someone to send her back to Li's residence.

When the carriage drove to the gate of Li's Mansion, Mu Qiu suddenly remembered that it seemed that she entered the palace this time for the purpose of bestowing a marriage.But the emperor didn't say a word about it from the beginning to the end. What did he mean?Will he give this marriage or not?Mu Qiu expressed that she was very anxious!
The news of the marriage was rumored in Beiliang City, but after several days, no one found out that the emperor sent someone to the Li Mansion to announce the decree, and the enthusiasm for this matter gradually faded.

"I thought that Miss Sang was really going to marry King Heng? If the emperor gave the order, wouldn't she fly on a branch and become a phoenix?"

"What, I heard that Miss Sang is the daughter of the Marquis of Anding, and marrying Heng Wang is considered a good match!"

"Even if she is the daughter of Marquis Anding, hasn't she been kicked out? Turned into a peasant girl, it's no wonder the emperor didn't agree to marry her."

There are still many voices discussing secretly.From the beginning, Mu Qiu was scared every day for fear of someone coming from the palace to announce the decree, but now he is finally relieved.It seems that the emperor really has no intention of bestowing a marriage. At this moment, Mu Qiu almost wants to kneel in front of the emperor and shout long live!
