In mid-August, Qingli returned to Shangjing.

This time the imperial commander went to the Great Army to win the Grand Prix, and the people who went to the capital were very excited. The villagers gathered around the road to welcome him, blocking Danfeng Street to the south of the palace.

The Cai family was filled with sorrow. Mrs. Cai fainted from crying several times, and even Cai Xiang, who had always been steady, was still full of tears.

He was proud of his life, but he didn't expect to lose his son in old age? He was the only son of Cai Ming, and he died in the battlefield like this! Then what are the fame and fortune he has sought over the years?

In Qifeng Palace, Cai Jinzhi also cried a lot. Although her brother was dull, he always loved her.

Hui Fei's words rang in his ears again, "The reason why the emperor named the Imperial Concubine was due to the contributions of Prime Minister Cai and the General of the Protective Country. Now, the Cai family is full of glory and power. Once the flowers bloom the most, they will begin to decline..."

Cai Jinzhi didn't believe it at the time, but now she began to doubt it.

Could it be that the death of the brother in battle is the first step in the decline of the Cai family?

But the reason why the emperor named her the imperial concubine was because the Cai family was awesome. If the Cai family really defeated, how could she survive in the palace?

In the past, because she was the daughter of the Cai family and was arrogant and beautiful, she thought she could win the favor of the emperor. She was impulsive and domineering and walked sideways in the palace.

Now, after suffering so many great losses in the palace, she realized how stupid she was before!

The emperor didn't like her, Concubine Hui was very scheming, and the old pious woman of Empress Dowager Xiao tortured herself in every way. She thought she was very popular in the palace, but she didn't know that she had already lived in the cracks.

She had to have a child to stabilize her position in the palace.

"Wuhan, dress up for me, the emperor is going to return to the palace today."

Empress Xiao knew that Qingli came back today, so she waited outside the palace gate early in the morning. When she saw a light green figure jumping out of the carriage from afar, Empress Xiao was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

"My son..." Empress Xiao hugged Qingli tightly, tears rolling, "My mother thought she would never see you again in her life!"

"Aren't I back?" Qingli also burst into tears.

Empress Xiao supported Qingli and said, "Let the queen see if she has gained weight or lost weight?" After looking carefully for a while, she began to wipe her tears again, "I have lost weight, I see that I am pitiful, so I must have suffered a lot on the road!"

"Where is it? Mother, look, I'm taller again!" Qingli said with a smile, "I haven't seen each other for a few months, and Mother has also become younger!"

"A poor girl, I will make my mother happy!"

The mother and daughter were joking while walking back, and Qingli jumped around Empress Dowager Xiao, like a child who had not grown up.

Murong Che looked at her from afar, feeling sad. After returning to the palace, he could not see her at all times.

The Daming Palace was clean and clean. Xiyue led the palace maids and waited in front of the palace gate to welcome the return of His Majesty the Emperor.

As soon as Murong Che sat down, someone reported that Dongxia sent a letter to the country with six words:

I asked to marry Princess Jing'an.

"Xiahou Ze!" Murong Che made a bang and slapped the book of the country on the desk.

What exactly does this Xiahou Ze want to do? Is it because he really likes Qingli, or is it because he is looking for trouble, just to anger him?

An hour later, Zhuge Xuan entered the palace to meet him.

Murong Che asked him about some things in the court, and everything was managed in an orderly and orderly manner, which made Murong Che sigh: "It is really a waste to not be the Dazai of the country."

Zhuge Xuan was humble before he asked carefully: "General Cai's affairs..."

"Do you suspect it was my move?" Murong Che's eyes were cold and sharp, "The cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were gone, and the good bows were hidden. Are you worried that I can't tolerate the meritorious officials?"

"The old minister dare not."

"Although I hate Cai Xiang, I know that Cai Ming is loyal to me. This battle is really dangerous. Cai Ming is straightforward and impulsive, so he suffered this disaster. Even I almost died in the battlefield." When talking about Cai Ming's death, Murong Che couldn't help but sigh.

Zhuge Xuan was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"

"I was poisoned and my internal strength was blocked, so I accidentally shot an arrow on the battlefield. Fortunately, I was shocked." Murong Che suddenly frowned, "What's wrong with sending Princess Jing'an to Dongxia's marriage?"

"The Queen Mother Xiao is the decision of this matter, and Princess Jing'an herself agrees with it." Zhuge Xuan cunningly distanced himself from the relationship, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs.

"This time, Dongxia sent another letter of nationality, or asked to marry Princess Jing'an. What should I do?" Murong Che handed the letter of nationality to Zhuge Xuan.

"Emperor Wenchang is not just Princess Jing'an's daughter. The emperor might as well choose another princess to marry Dongxia. If the relationship between the two countries can be eased and friendly diplomatic relations are also a good thing."

Zhuge Xuan shook the feather fan and smiled and threw the question back to Murong Che.

Choose another princess?

The Western Jin Dynasty and the Dongxia have always been intimate. Any princess who is willing to marry in Dongxia unless her head is rusted!

After the news came out, there was a princess with a rusty head. The next day, she knelt in front of the Daming Palace and asked to marry Dongxia.

Everyone was quite surprised.

Qingli also went to Daming Palace on the excuse of going to watch the fun.

"Are you really willing to go to Dongxia to marry?" Murong Che asked uncertainly for the ninth time.

"Qingru will."

Murong Che said again: "Do you know that if you go to Dongxia, you may be unable to move forward. Moreover, if the two countries fight in the future, you are afraid that the first one will be sent to the guillotine sacrifice flag!"

Princess Qingru smiled slightly and said calmly: "I know all of these."

"Since that's the case, why do you still have to kiss?" Qing Li couldn't help but interrupt and asked.

"Princess Jing'an has been in the palace for so many years, did you know that I was the sister?" Princess Qingru turned her eyes to Qingli.

Qingli was stunned. To be honest, she had never seen Princess Qingru before.

Princess Qingru smiled bitterly and said, "My mother is just a palace maid. My father was drunk and came to her once, and then I was born. After I was born, my father ignored me and never gave me a title. Therefore, the palace people automatically regarded me and my mother as invisible people. If I don't stand up today, I'm afraid no one in the palace will remember me until I die. So, I want to leave the palace, see the vast world outside, and live a wonderful life."

"I have appointed you as the Princess of Ningxia and marry Dongxia in three months!"

"Thank you, the emperor!"

After Princess Qingru thanked her, she withdrew from the hall.

"The same daughter of the father, the royal princess, she lived so hard. Moreover, the palace maid gave birth to a child, why didn't the father even give her a title?" Qingli felt incredible.

"I'm not your father, how do I know?" Murong Che asked back.

"What if it were you, would you do this?" Qing Li asked unyieldingly.

"There are two situations." Murong Che pondered for a moment, "First, the palace maid is really terrible, and second, I was plotted by the palace maid. If it were these two situations, I probably wouldn't give the palace maid a title."

Qingli remembered Princess Qingru's words just now, that his father was the palace maid who came after being drunk, so the first possibility was higher. After all, Princess Qingru is indeed not very good-looking, probably like her mother.

But the palace maid was really pitiful. She could leave the palace to get married at the age of twenty. The emperor's temporary blessing actually ruined her life.

Qingli suddenly thought of a question, blushed and said, "Uncle..."

"Arche." Murong Che spoke to remind her.

Qingli's face turned redder and he asked stutterly: "Arche, you last night..." When he said this, he looked at him expectantly.

Murong Che lifted his eyelids and asked, "You want to ask, did I summon concubines to sleep last night?"

Qingli looked at him nervously.

Murong Che chuckled, reached out to touch her nose, and said dotingly: "With you, a jealous woman, I dare not summon concubines to sleep? Then, will you cut me off with one knife?"

Qingli's face turned red when he said it.

She didn't sleep all night last night just worried that he would summon concubines to sleep. Now, hearing what he said, although she was shy, she felt very sweet in her heart.

"Archer..."

"Um?"

Qingli pounced on him and gave him a big kiss.

The beauty gave a kiss, so he would not miss it. Murong Che quickly turned his back and kissed her with her lips in her mouth. After a long time, he let her go and ended the long kiss. Murong Che was full of joy and hugged her in his arms, pecking her like a dragonfly.

Qingli was hiding while laughing, but more kisses fell on his cheeks and neck.

"Archer, spare me, it's so itchy...haha..."

When Xiyue brought tea into the hall, she saw this scene. With a "clang", the teacup broke to the ground, and Xiyue looked shocked.

Qingli didn't expect someone to break in, and when he saw such a scene, he suddenly stiffened his body and was so panicked that he was at a loss.

Only Murong Che looked calm. While holding Qingli in his arms, he gently patted her back to comfort her, and said lightly: "You go down, there is no need to serve you here."

"Yes." Xiyue withdrew from the palace tremblingly.

"What should I do?" Qingli asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Xiyue won't talk nonsense." Murong Che said indifferently.

Qingli leaned in his arms and said sadly: "I'm so scared. What if someone finds out about our affairs?"

Murong Che pondered for a moment and suggested: "Kill someone to silence him?"

"Go to you!" Qingli glared at him, "By the way, my mother and I will make dumplings tonight. Do you want to eat them?"

"How do I eat? If I dare to go to Shoukang Palace, I'm afraid your mother can chop me up with a knife!" Murong Che said helplessly.

Both of them remembered the past when she made dumplings for him twice, but he didn't eat them once.

"Or what if I'll pack it and secretly deliver it to you tonight?"

"good."

He would naturally be willing to see her again in the evening.

"Then you are not allowed to have dinner at night, and I'll send you dumplings!"

"Then you come early."

Qingli was tired of him for a while, afraid that Empress Dowager Xiao would be suspicious, so he hurriedly left.
