Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 242 Gifts

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the wedding arrangements of the Emperor and Empress.

Qin Ke had never participated in an ancient wedding, especially when he thought that he and Lu Youqing had been married for many years and even Yueya was more than two years old.

But they had never held a proper wedding. Thinking of this, Qin Ke looked at Lu Youqing with some guilt.

When Lu Youqing saw his apologetic eyes, she knew him so well that she could guess what he was thinking immediately, especially since they were talking about His Majesty's wedding.

"Okay, don't think too much." Lu Youqing squeezed Qin Ke's hand.

Qin Ke had no choice but to put his thoughts aside and return to the wedding of the emperor and empress. He had only attended modern weddings and was quite curious about ancient weddings.

"Should we add dowry to Master Gu? I heard that the bride's friends will add dowry when the dowry is displayed."

He had often seen such scenes when reading novels and watching TV dramas.

Lu Youqing also knew that Qin Ke didn't know much about these things.

Moreover, the wedding of a noble family girl is different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary people only need to set up a few tables of banquets in the village to get married, but noble families have a whole set of cumbersome etiquette procedures to follow. From accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gift, asking for the date to welcoming the bride, every step cannot be sloppy.

What’s more, it is the wedding of the emperor and empress.

Lu Youqing smiled and said, "The wedding of the Emperor and Empress has complicated procedures, which is very different from ordinary weddings. There is no such thing as showing off the dowry."

"Oh." Qin Ke nodded.

"However," Lu Youqing changed his tone and continued, "If you want to express your blessing, you can send the gifts to the Ministry of Rites in advance, and someone from the Ministry of Rites will take care of it. I will select the wedding gifts for His Majesty and the others."

After all, there are many considerations involved in choosing gifts, and Qin Ke doesn't know much about them.

But when she looked up, she saw Qin Ke seemed to be hesitant to speak, with her eyebrows slightly raised, staring at him: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Qin Ke first looked behind him. They were in the study at this time.

Everything in Lu Youqing's study was confidential and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Now there were only the two of them in the study and the maids and servants had to wait outside.

Seeing Qin Ke's action, Lu Youqing guessed that the other party had something confidential to say, so he put down the pen in his hand, crossed his fingers, supported his chin, tilted his head slightly and stared at him.

"Don't worry, no one can get close to here."

"Okay," Qin Ke was slightly relieved. His expression was conflicted for a long time, and he organized his words in his mind for a long time.

Lu Youqing just silently admired the expression on his face, sometimes frowning, sometimes pursing his lips... It was very complicated, and also very beautiful.

After Qin Ke prepared himself for a long time, he said softly, "Madam, you remember that I actually have a mustard seed space, right?"

"Yes, I know." Lu Youqing nodded slightly. Qin Ke had told her when they were still in Qinghe Village.

However, it was rarely used later. After all, there were many people around them, and Qin Ke would not use the space unless it was an emergency.

"In fact, this mustard seed space is not the root, and I have another thing. The mustard seed space was exchanged for that thing."

Qin Ke didn't know whether Lu Youqing could understand what he said.

"exchange?"

"It's just like buying something with silver, except that the things inside are not bought with money, but with something else."

Lu Youqing nervously grabbed Qin Ke's hand, with a bit of anxiety and worry in her tone: "Will this harm your body?"

After all, there is no free lunch in this world, and everything has a price.

Qin Ke was surprised by her reaction, then a warm feeling surged in his heart, and his eyes flickered as he looked at her.

Ordinary people would be more concerned and curious about what Qin Ke said, after all, what he said was too shocking, but the lady's first reaction was to care about his health.

"I'm fine, my lady, don't worry." Qin Ke's smile became brighter and brighter. After comforting his lady softly, he continued to explain: "There will be tasks posted inside, and you will be rewarded with points after completing the tasks. In turn, the points can be exchanged for what you want, and you will also be rewarded with points after completing them."

Lu Youqing recalled all the strange things Qin Ke had done in the past, and instantly guessed the key. He suddenly asked, "Where did those new seeds and many other things you had come from?"

Qin Ke nodded gently, "So actually I'm not that knowledgeable, nor that powerful, I just rely on that thing."

"No, the fact that you can get this thing shows that you are the chosen one," Lu Youqing shook his head, as if he didn't like Qin Ke's self-deprecation, and said seriously: "And after you got it, you did the most to benefit the people, instead of just thinking about your own interests like those people."

"You are compassionate and kindhearted. Perhaps that's why it chose you instead of others."

Qin Ke felt a little embarrassed by being praised by his wife, and his ears turned red.

You know, it's really rare for Lu Youqing to praise someone.

In order to prevent her face from getting red, she hurriedly continued the topic: "Actually, I have a question. After your majesty marries Master Gu, will you take anyone else into the palace?"

Qin Ke certainly doesn't want this to happen in his heart. He has been exposed to modern marriage concepts since he was a child and pursues being with one person for the rest of his life. He can love only one person.

But this was ancient times, and he couldn't hold others to the same moral standards.

In Qin Ke's dimension, the only empresses he knew of were Emperor Wu and Catherine the Great of Russia. After they ascended the throne, it was said that they had more than one male favorite.

Moreover, he had heard that some princesses of the Great Yan Dynasty kept male concubines in their houses after they got married.

Qin Ke was not sure whether Jinyang would be like this as well. But he admired His Majesty's courage to fall in love with a woman despite the disapproval of the world.

Lu Youqing was somewhat surprised at how quickly he changed the subject, but still replied, "Based on my understanding of Your Majesty, it shouldn't be the case."

"What about the issue of heirs? This issue concerns the future of Dayan. If Your Majesty does not have an heir, those people will have more reason to oppose Your Majesty."

Lu Youqing lowered his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, and then said: "I think your majesty has already considered this issue. Why do you think your majesty spared the lives of the former crown prince and the seventh prince?"

Qin Ke didn't react for a moment. After a while, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief and asked, "Could it be because of..."

"In fact, there are too many hidden dangers like this, and this is a choice we have no choice but to make. The best option is of course the Ninth Princess and other princesses who have not yet married."

They are all descendants of the Zhao family, so all we have to do is adopt their children.

After all, there have been such precedents in the past.

Facing Qin Ke's dilated pupils, Lu Youqing curled the corners of his lips slightly: "Of course, this is just my guess."
