Liu Zhi'an threatened the day before yesterday that if Young Master Liu dared to touch a hair on Liu Chengfeng's uncle and nephew, he would break Young Master Liu's legs.
However, under the eager gazes of the three Liu Chengfeng brothers, the three brothers' buttocks were sore from being whipped with the discipline stick, and Grandpa Liu Zhi'an failed to show up to suppress the evil force of his father.
At nightfall, Mr. Liu walked out of the study with a sad face, went to Qinglian's and the third princess's rooms, and finally returned to Qi Yun's room.
Qi Yun had just finished bathing and grooming, with a blush on her face caused by the steaming heat. Qi Yun had just laid down with her clothes on when Young Master Liu came in.
Young Master Liu walked to the bedside, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into Qi Yun's palm.
"This is the unique golden sore medicine that my husband asked for from Mr. Sai. You go and apply it on Chengzhi to prevent it from getting infected."
Qi Yun sat up gently and glared at her husband angrily.
"You are obviously very distressed, so why are you pretending to be a strict father? I feel sorry for my son and I go to apply medicine on him myself. If I apply the medicine myself, it will only make my son resent you as his father."
Young Master Liu gave a wry smile, took off his outer robe and got into the bed that was already warmed by Qi Yun.
"It's better to resent your husband than to let them go astray. Hitting them is just like hating your husband and letting them go astray."
"They might just go to the brothel to drink some wine, touch the wrists of the girls in the brothel, etc. They want to do something extraordinary, but they are not able to do anything extraordinary."
"That's why a husband must curb their temper in time."
"A husband is also a man, and he understands the psychology of boys."
"What if one day they drink too much and their brains get hot and they do something, it may not be a good thing for them."
"I have no objection to going to a brothel to be a husband, but you must wait until you reach adulthood."
"Children should do childish things."
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he turned slightly and closed his eyes.
"Go ahead, don't let the pain keep you awake, Lian'er, I've already sent Yan'er there, so you don't have to make the hard trip again!"
Qi Yun nodded slightly, crossed over her husband, put on her clothes, and walked toward her son Liu Chengzhi's room holding a candle with a lampshade.
Amid the sounds of the three little guys sucking in air, Young Master Liu's breathing gradually became evener.
When Qi Yun returned to the room, Young Master Liu had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Qi Yun put the candle on the table, walked to the bed and sat down gently. Looking at her husband's frowning face in his sleep, the worry in Qi Yun's eyes was self-evident.
She raised her hand and gently placed it on her husband's cheek and caressed it twice. Qi Yun sighed quietly.
"Silly husband, what are you thinking about?"
"I can't understand you anymore!"
"Unknowingly, why have you become such a worried person?"
Young Master Liu didn't know if he felt his wife's actions, so he smacked his lips and muttered twice, then turned over and fell asleep again.
Seeing this, Qi Yun gently took off her outer robe, curled up into her husband's arms, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes full of worry, and fell asleep.
The crow of the rooster made Young Master Liu's sleeping eyes suddenly open. He glanced at the pale sky outside the window. Young Master Liu slowly took out the wrist that was resting on Qi Yun's neck and turned over from the bed.
Looking back at Qi Yun who was sleeping soundly, Young Master Liu put on his clothes lightly, washed up and walked directly towards the study.
Opening the drawer on the desk, Liu Mingzhi carefully stroked the two books he had written himself. The matter of going out to defend the border could not be delayed any longer.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and it is too late to leave for the north now.
After blowing out the candles in the study and locking the door, Young Master Liu went back to the room and took a look at Qi Yun, who still hadn't woken up, and hurried towards the backyard.
In a moment, Young Master Liu galloped towards the palace with his horse whipped up. Today's court meeting was the day when he would bid farewell and go to the north. He had to rush there early to finalize the arrangements.
Listening to the disappearing sound of horse hooves in the courtyard, Qi Yunming opened her eyes slightly, changed her posture and closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
My husband has more and more things on his mind!
"Hush!"
After a few cups of tea, Mr. Liu reined in his horse and stopped in front of the palace gate.
At this moment, the palace door has been opened wide, and officials in twos and threes are already walking towards the palace door.
The gatekeeper was no longer Lao Jia. He must have listened to Mr. Liu's words and packed up his things to enjoy the few days left to get together with his wife.
Just because Young Master Liu doesn't know the general guarding the gate, it doesn't mean that the general guarding the gate doesn't know Young Master Liu, a big shot.
Seeing Young Master Liu turn over and dismount, the general subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky, which still had some remaining stars. The general was stunned for a moment and hurriedly came forward to meet him.
"General Gong Hao meets the prince!"
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, waved his hand, and handed the reins to Gong Hao.
"No need to be too polite, just keep the palace gate safe."
"Got the order!"
Young Master Liu adjusted his slightly wrinkled python robe, entered the palace gate with a calm expression and rushed towards Qinzheng Hall.
Gong Hao looked at Mr. Liu's back, scratching his head with a tangled expression.
"I went to court two days in a row. What's going on in this world? Is King Bingjian possessed by something dirty? It's like snow falling in June!"
"General, what are you muttering about?"
"Nothing, just stand guard!"
When Young Master Liu entered the Qinzheng Hall, the hall was brightly lit, and more than a dozen officials were already kneeling and sitting in their seats.
The two people that Young Master Liu is most familiar with are Xia Gongming, the imperial censor, and Wei Yong, the left prime minister.
Looking at the energetic Xia Gongming, Young Master Liu suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Perhaps this is the true official who serves the country and the people. At the age of seventy, he is so busy every day. In comparison, he is indeed a bit too lazy.
Watching a dozen officials immersed in sorting out the memorials, Mr. Liu did not disturb them. He knelt down, took out two books, and started to read.
I checked carefully and filled in the gaps, for fear that I might accidentally miss something important.
You must know that this is a national policy, and a single oversight may lead to endless consequences. Although he has checked it several times, Young Master Liu was still a little worried when he arrived.
Except for the autumn of that year, ten years later, Young Master Liu felt this uneasy feeling again.
Young Master Liu was so absorbed in his books that he didn't even notice when the sky outside the palace was brightening.
It wasn't until a young and sharp voice sounded from the back of the palace that Young Master Liu came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that the sky was getting brighter and it was time for the court meeting...
Young Master Liu hurriedly closed the book, straightened his posture and looked towards the dragon platform.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"I respectfully welcome your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"My dear friends, please forgive me"
Li Ye looked at Young Master Liu blankly, and was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
“Free admission!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Ye gently sat on the dragon chair, his eyes flickering towards Young Master Liu's position from time to time.
Did my uncle drink too much? Going to court for two days in a row was completely inconsistent with his personality.
"My dear friends, do you have any intention to report?"
Young Master Liu looked at an official opposite who wanted to come out and immediately straightened up and walked to the center of the hall first.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi has something to report!"
