In the Queen's tent, there was a faint firelight. The Queen sitting by the fire was wearing the same clothes as when she came. The only thing that had changed was that her bunted hair fell down and was draped casually behind her.
The Queen put down the book in her hand and looked at Mr. Liu in surprise as he got into the tent, with a hint of surprise and a hint of joy in his bright eyes.
"Why are you here, mom? Aren't you afraid that your ladies will get jealous?"
Young Master Liu looked at the Queen with a surprised expression. Under the dim light, the Queen had an indescribable hazy beauty.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but say something in his heart.
You can watch it from a distance but don't play with it.
Feelings are often contrary to reality. I am not only looking at it from a distance, but my child is almost ten years old.
Young Master Liu crawled towards the Queen with a resentful expression: "To put it bluntly, let's discuss this matter!"
The Queen closed the scroll in her hand, which was clearly Sun Tzu's Art of War. She put the scroll aside and looked at Young Master Liu curiously: "Let's talk about it. If it's not too much, I'll agree. If it's too much, we'll see what happens."
Young Master Liu let out a long sigh, his face was embarrassed, his little finger gently scratched the back of his head, his eyes were a little erratic.
"Can I borrow a carrot?"
The Queen was startled, her bright eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Young Master Liu with some confusion: "What did you say? Borrow the carrot? Did I hear you right?"
"Oh, it's all blood and tears when I say it. I'll just tell you the truth."
Major General Liu told the Queen everything about Tianjian's tent selection, and said that his tone was full of helplessness when the six girls, Qi and Ya, were in the same tent together.
The Queen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and subconsciously glanced at the Heavenly Sword at Young Master Liu's waist.
"What a great sword. You are very considerate of your master!"
"Sleeping with a big quilt, doesn't it suit your wishes? There are one dragon and six phoenixes, it's quite fun!"
The teasing meaning in the Queen's words was extremely obvious. Young Master Liu looked at the Queen with narrowed eyes in embarrassment: "To put it mildly, you also know about my physical condition."
"As the saying goes, the more tired an ox is, the thinner it becomes, and the more plowed the land, the fatter it becomes. You don't want to see my husband die young, so you can be merciful and lend me a carrot!"
"Husband?"
Queen Hao Mu stretched somewhat complicatedly, raised her white palm to support Young Master Liu's chin: "Are you a polite husband?"
"Of course it is. Last year when we were in Shanhaiguan, you said you were your husband to me."
"Do you believe what a woman says?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Queen silently with a disappointed smile: "Wanyan, did I offend you again somewhere?"
The queen shook her head in silence, released Liu Mingzhi's chin, turned around, took out a brocade box from the pillow and handed it to Liu Mingzhi: "There are two ginseng kings in it."
"I lent it to you, don't forget to repay me double in the future."
Liu Mingzhi's movement to pick up the brocade box froze, and he looked at the Queen in horror: "Double the amount?"
"What, you Dalong don't need to pay back interest when you borrow money from the bank?"
"need!"
"That's right, I'll naturally want interest on my side too."
The Queen smiled lightly and raised her hand to pat Mr. Liu's lower back: "How many times the interest will be, I will decide based on the situation."
"Go away, don't keep the beauty waiting!"
Liu Mingzhi looked dullly at the queen who was extremely indifferent to him for a while and then extremely close to him for a while. He didn't know what happened to the queen today.
In the past two years, I have met several times in private, but none of them have left me as confused as today.
"To put it mildly, I'll leave first then?"
Young Master Liu looked at the Queen tentatively to see if the Queen was testing him.
The queen's unpainted cherry lips slightly raised, looking at Young Master Liu's doubtful expression, she smiled lightly.
Suddenly he raised his hand and pulled open the ribbon around his waist: "Don't want to leave? I want to pay back the interest in advance, of course I have no problem, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"Farewell."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Liu's figure had disappeared into the tent.
The Queen tied the ribbon around Liu's waist with a complex expression: "Liu Mingzhi, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to let you go if you continue to be gentle."
"The sweet dream between the two of us has been here for too long, and it's time to wake up."
Young Master Liu stopped in front of the Queen's tent, listened to the Queen's clear words, silently looked at the brocade box in his hand and walked towards the east tent.
He wanted to tell Qi Ya and the others that they would not rest together today.
He wanted to spare time to spend time with the Queen, a woman he had always been indebted to for external reasons.
"Master!"
"Liu Song, why haven't you rested yet?"
Liu Song looked around and whispered into the young master's ear.
After a moment, Liu Mingzhi's face trembled uncertainly, and the brocade box in his hand slipped to the snow without realizing it.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses: "Where is Du Yu?"
"Yingzuiyan is waiting. He doesn't know if you have rested, young master, so he asked the younger one to come and take a look."
Liu Mingzhi bent down and picked up the brocade box, patted the snow stains on the brocade box and handed it to Liu Song: "Tell the young lady and the others to go to bed early. Master, I have important things to do!"
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi walked quickly towards Eagle Mouth Rock, and what he saw was the figure wandering on the snow. Needless to say, it must be Du Yu.
"Du Yu!"
"Sir, you haven't rested yet!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Du Yu quietly with bright eyes: "Repeat what the Hongzhi messenger said!"
"Yes, I took a humble position an hour ago."
After Liu Mingzhi heard this, his palm holding the Heavenly Sword creaked, and his face was extremely solemn: "At this time of year, I was suddenly summoned to Beijing in an urgent manner. Could it be that my father's dragon body?"
Du Yu's face changed with shock when he heard Liu Mingzhi talking to himself. Although Liu Mingzhi didn't finish what he said, Du Yu already understood what he meant in his heart.
"Sir, what should I do? If it is really His Majesty, should we immediately accept the order and return to Beijing?"
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to act according to the situation. Traveling at night may result in the death of the troops!"
"Du Yu!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Go back immediately to pack your bags for the governor, and rush back to Beijing as soon as it gets dark tomorrow!"
"I have your order! I have to resign from my humble post. Sir, please rest early. There has been a few heavy snowfalls. The journey will definitely not be smooth. You must ensure that you have sufficient physical strength!"
"I know, you go back first!"
The war horse neighed, and Du Yu rode towards Yingzhou.
Liu Mingzhi walked to Yingzui Rock and sat down cross-legged: "Go to bed early, I have to sleep!"
Looking back at the direction of the tent, Liu Mingzhi hesitated in his heart, wondering whether he should tell the third princess about this.
After thinking about it again and again, Liu Mingzhi still suppressed the idea and told the third princess that it would not be a good idea if the third princess missed her father and caused trouble.
I can only tell her after I return to Beijing.
"I've been feeling restless these past few days. Is it because of this?"
Liu Mingzhi placed the Heavenly Sword across his lap and quietly looked at the gray night sky without any light, his thoughts swirling.
At this moment, eleven beauties were waiting for him not far away, but Liu Mingzhi couldn't think of anything else.
My thoughts have already reached the distant capital.
Two thoughts kept spinning in his mind.
Is Li Zheng's end approaching, or has it already happened?
The cold wind kept blowing on his cheeks, but it did not make Liu Mingzhi feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of clarity in his mind.
Whether it was one hour or two hours, Liu Mingzhi didn’t know how long it had passed.
The passage of time is no longer important to Liu Mingzhi.
A sudden squirming feeling in his arms made Liu Mingzhi suddenly open his eyes. Liu Mingzhi looked down and saw that the little cutie had slipped into his arms without knowing when.
The pretty face carved from pink jade looked at him with worry. Seeing his father open his eyes, the little cute face was filled with joy.
