Regarding Jiang Waner's attitude, Zhao Wenxiang's attitude, and the civil and military attitude of Qian Guo, Princess Lige was not surprised at all.
She looked at Zhao Wenxiang, bowed slightly and saluted, and then spoke softly.
"Master Neishi, you are Mr. Zhao's father, so you naturally have the right to decide on this matter."
"However, after all, this is the kindness and kindness of my Majesty, the Empress of Shu. Lord Nei Shi may wish to consider it carefully and don't rush to give me an answer."
"And, should you seek Mr. Zhao's opinion?"
"After all, this is a lifelong event for Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Wenxiang said resolutely: "Your Highness, there is no need for this."
"As the saying goes, parents' orders are the words of a matchmaker. As Zhao Hao's father, I don't need to ask for his opinion. I can make my own decision."
Hearing what Zhao Wenxiang said, Princess Lige looked at Jiang Waner again.
"Your Majesty, if it is good for the two countries to form a marriage, then our country of Shu and the country of Qian will be in the same spirit."
"This should be a good conversation and an opportunity for the relationship between the two countries to reach a higher level."
"Your Majesty, without your approval, it seems that Mr. Neishi will never dare to agree."
She didn't say that she wouldn't agree, but that she didn't dare to agree.
The implication is that Zhao Wenxiang's attitude depends on the wishes of your Majesty the Emperor.
You don’t really want to prevent the relationship between the two countries from moving to a higher level, do you?
A deeper meaning is that since your Majesty, the Emperor of Qian Kingdom, does not want to be on good terms with Shu State, he is going to be on bad terms with me.
Therefore, this is a sentence with a hint of threat.
Jiang Wan'er was so smart that she immediately understood the meaning of Princess Lige's words.
She frowned and said indifferently: "Of course I am willing to improve the relationship between Daqian and Shu."
"But you can't force it!"
"I will make a statement. As long as you can convince Zhao Hao, then the marriage will be concluded."
"As for Lord Nei Shi, I'm here to help you convince him!"
Hearing this, Princess Lige suddenly became happy.
"Then, as Your Majesty said, Lige thanks Your Majesty!"
"Li Ge retires."
…
After testing for a long time without any problems, Zhao Hao asked someone to move the pendulum clock onto the carriage and go to the first floor.
The carriage stopped at the door of the first floor. He hurriedly called to Lao Zhong and others to carry the pendulum clock up to the fourth floor.
After carrying it into the house, Lao Zhong asked curiously: "Master, what kind of thing is this?"
Zhao Hao chuckled: "You've never seen this before, Master. It took me nearly a month and a lot of effort..."
Before he could finish speaking, a woman's angry voice came from outside.
"Zhao Hao, come out!"
Zhao Hao was immediately startled. He stuck his head out and looked outside, and saw Princess Yongning walking towards her with a frosty face.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" Zhao Hao hurriedly approached and asked.
Princess Yongning glared at him fiercely, walked into the room, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking very angry.
Zhao Hao signaled Lao Zhong to go out, then leaned over and asked again: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Yongning said angrily: "Zhao Hao, you are really powerful!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was confused.
"Your Highness, why am I so great?"
"Can you please stop playing riddles and just tell me if you have any questions?"
Princess Yongning hummed: "This morning, Princess Lige came to the palace to meet the emperor's sister and proposed that the Shu Kingdom marry Daqian..."
Zhao Hao said without thinking: "Just get married. What does this have to do with me?"
Princess Yongning said: "Your Majesty, the Empress of Shu, has fallen in love with your Master Zhao's extraordinary talent and wants to recruit you as the country's son-in-law. Why does it have nothing to do with you?"
"Zhao Hao, you are so powerful. Counting the literary fight, you and Princess Lige have only met twice."
"She was actually able to appreciate it to such an extent that she even convinced their empress to recruit you as her son-in-law!"
"You're really good at it!"
Zhao Hao was immediately stunned.
"Wait a minute!"
"What did you say?"
"The Empress of Shu wants to recruit me as her son-in-law?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Princess Yongning was furious and sneered.
"joke?"
"Who's kidding you?"
"I even brought my credentials, how can I still be joking?"
Zhao Hao was numb.
The empress of Shu wants to recruit her as her son-in-law. Isn’t this a bit of a joke?
After thinking for a moment, he calmed down and asked, "Your Highness, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Princess Yongning said angrily: "Can this kind of thing be fake?"
Zhao Hao nodded, snorted and laughed: "No, this is obviously the method Shu came up with to get Hong Tian Lei from me."
"Why are you so angry?"
"Don't talk about getting married to the Empress of Shu, even if she is a fairy."
"How could I betray Da Gan?"
"You're so angry, don't you think I know about this?"
Hearing what he said, Princess Yongning's expression finally softened a little.
She looked suspicious and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhao Hao immediately said: "Of course it's true. I know that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, how could I let them succeed?"
Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't seem to be faking it, Princess Yongning finally felt relieved.
"The imperial sister invites you to the palace at night."
"You are prepared."
"I should probably tell you about this."
"If you really have no intention of doing so, you'd better reject Princess Lige as soon as possible, lest this matter cause a fuss and cause misunderstanding."
Zhao Hao nodded.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Looking at the way you looked when you came here just now, I thought something had happened!"
Princess Yongning glared at him and then blushed.
She was really angry just now.
I thought Zhao Hao and Princess Lige had reached a tacit understanding.
"Huh?"
"what is this?"
"It looks so weird!"
Princess Yongning pointed to the pendulum clock in the corner and asked curiously.
"This is called a clock."
"Also called a pendulum clock."
"It's used to tell the time!"
Princess Yongning was even more curious.
"Look at the time?"
"How do you look at this?"
Zhao Hao walked to the clock and explained with a smile.
"We usually tell the time with a sundial and hourglass. At night, after turning off the lights, we listen to the watch drum outside."
"But I think it's too inconvenient to tell the time that way."
"So I looked into that."
"You see, we divide the day into twelve hours, but that's so imprecise."
"And my pendulum clock divides one hour into two hours, and one day into twenty-four hours."
"Then I carved all my time on this big disk."
"The two hands represent the minute hand and the hour hand..."
Zhao Hao explained while making gestures.
For a long time,
Finally, I finished explaining how to tell time and the working principle of a pendulum clock.
