Chapter 974: Chapter 976 Marriage Proposal (4)

Nangong Yi said, and pulled out a red letter from his embrace, presenting it with both hands to the couple before him.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, as this was clearly an act of solicitation for a wedding date, a practice never done so impudently against traditions.

These solicitation letters are typically written on red paper, listing possible dates for consideration as part of the solicitation gifts, then sent through a mediator to the bride’s family to discuss the wedding date. Never has a future groom rushed to propose such matter in such a frantic manner.

Moreover, to do this on the day of the engagement, pushing for the solicitation in front of all the guests, seemed too anxious!

However, this also showed that King Qin was extremely pleased with this marital affair and genuinely fond of Cai Wei; otherwise, he would not have committed such an unreasonable act.

Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were also taken aback, but with so many people watching, and Nangong Yi having already acted in such a way, they couldn’t afford to damage their future son-in-law’s face, so they had to laugh and take the solicitation letter, then opened it. Their eyes lingered on the three dates presented before them.

Lady Du couldn’t help but say, "These dates are all so close; the furthest is only two and a half months away. I’m afraid there won’t be enough time to prepare..."

Nangong Yi said, "My Imperial Father is gravely ill; my Imperial Mother wishes for me to marry soon to bring joy to him. As for the preparations for the wedding, my parents-in-law need not worry at all; I have already arranged for the Ministry of Rites to assist my parents-in-law in these preparations."

With those words, even if Mu Zhongqing and his wife had the greatest courage, they could not delay in providing joy to the Emperor, so they pointed to the last date and said, "If that’s the case, let it be on the 15th of August."

The Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th of August was only two and a half months away.

Nangong Yi, who had deliberately chosen earlier dates, had anticipated that Mu Zhongqing and his wife would not prefer their daughter marrying so soon, and would choose the last date. Hearing this, he naturally felt satisfied and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "If so, I shall marry Wei’er splendidly and ensure she suffers no hardship!"

At this moment, Cai Lian and Cai Fei were sitting with Cai Wei in her boudoir. Cai Lian, having seen King Qin’s grace and the generous betrothal gifts he sent, enviously said, "Cai Wei, you and Fei’er are really lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Wei was unfazed, but Fei’er blushed, gradually lowering her head.

It turned out that King Qin, when he sent the bridal gifts, brought Mo Ziqi along. Always one to disregard minor details, he did not accompany King Qin inside the main hall; instead, he had called Fei’er out separately. After not seeing her for several days, he did not express his longing but instead took on an austere demeanor, asking, "How has your writing been lately?"

Cai Wei and Cai Lian in the room heard this, and their mouths fell open, thinking they had misheard!

Since Fei’er had been back, she had been busy preparing birthday gifts for the Old Madame, embroidering forehead covers and shoes; she had no time to practice calligraphy.

Therefore, she looked guiltily at the man, lowered her head, and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, unable to utter a word.

Mo Ziqi, seeing her meek appearance like a small mouse, his indifferent gaze flickered with a hint of amusement. However, his tone soon turned cold, as he said, "Go back to your room and bring me the writing you’ve practiced recently. If it’s not good, see how I’ll punish you!" Saying this, he turned to leave.

Fei’er, in panic, took a step forward and urgently called out to him, her eyes filled with pleading, "Can you wait until tomorrow? After all, I will be visiting your mansion tomorrow for the Old Madame’s birthday feast. It’s too busy at home right now, I could not find it. Tonight when I’m free, I’ll find those writings and bring them to you tomorrow, is that okay?"
