Qi Yun walked towards the door with a swaying expression to send a message to Liu Song, while Liu Mingzhi walked to the stove in Qi Yun's room and started making tea with a calm expression.
As if what just happened didn't happen, or better yet, as if the person facing a major crisis was not you.
“Husband, where are you?”
“Sister Ya, my husband is here! Why are you here?”
Qi Ya's pretty face was filled with anxiety. Her phoenix eyes looked up and down at Liu Mingzhi, who was holding a poker and looking calm, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Husband, are you okay?”
Liu Mingzhi changed the hand of the tongs and raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat on the tip of Qi Ya's nose: "What can happen to my husband? What's wrong with you? You look like you're out of your mind and panicking? A great master of Qinggong is actually sweating.
.
Where is the girl Lingyun? Is this child a good girl? "
“You’re so good, I went to bed after having a full meal at the nanny’s place. No, I just met my sister who was rushing towards the front yard with a look on her face. She said she said”
Liu Mingzhi heard the sound of boiling tea, turned around quickly, picked up the teapot and walked towards the table.
With the tea art of three dragons protecting the tripod, I made a cup of fragrant tea for Qi Ya and handed it over.
“Drink a cup of tea and calm down. It’s okay for your husband, don’t get angry in a hurry.”
Qi Ya took the teacup handed by her husband in a daze, her face a little confused.
Whether the husband acted too calmly or the sister acted too anxious, this situation was very different from what I expected.
Qi Ya raised her arms, her long sleeves danced lightly, and the hem of her sleeves flickered like a snake on the door. The wide open door closed directly. After pondering for a moment, Qi Ya seemed to understand something.
“Husband, did you know this would happen?”
Liu Mingzhi held Qi Ya's shoulders and helped her sit on a chair nearby. He sat on the chair beside him with his legs crossed, picked up a cup of tea and began to taste it lightly.
"That's about it. Although there are some slight differences, I don't think there's anything too surprising."
“Then why did you come back to the house with a gloomy face as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and why did you scare Yun’er so much that she lost her mind?”
Liu Mingzhi picked up the pot and refilled Qi Ya's tea, and glanced around the boudoir with a deep look.
“When such a big thing happened, what would it be if my husband were indifferent and didn’t care? Although this palace belongs to our family, not all the maids and servants belong to our family.
Yun'er, as Princess Bingjian and the wife of the Liu family, represents her husband, so the effect of her panic is much stronger than that of her husband.
Do you understand what it means to be a husband?”
Qi Ya murmured for a while, then raised her jade hand and gently hammered Mr. Liu's arm.
"Smelly husband, you scared me to death. Did you really think that something big was going to happen? Why do you mean that His Majesty has murderous intentions towards you? I have been thinking about countermeasures along the way, and it turned out that you wanted to
Therefore, there is no doubt about such a thing!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Ya solemnly: "No? Your Majesty has murderous intentions towards my husband. Is this true? My husband did not lie to you and Yun'er."
"What?"
Qi Ya's slightly relaxed expression became tense again, and she looked at Liu Mingzhi worriedly: "Husband? How are you going to deal with it? Are you going to rebel?"
The word "rebellion" came out of Qi Ya's mouth? Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but frown. He stood up and supported Qi Ya's shoulders with a little force. The words of the old Zen Master Baishan of Dahuguo Temple in Jinguo last year came to mind.
“It’s not time to take this step now. What I need to do now is to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
The enemy is immobile? I myself am immobile.
There is still one more opportunity left!”
"I would like to take the liberty to ask? When it comes to a last resort, does my husband really want to do it?"
“There are two roads before my husband and your majesty. Which road to take does not depend on my husband, but on your majesty.”
“Aren’t you afraid that your husband will be too passive when the time comes?”
Liu Mingzhi bent down and put his hands around Qi Ya’s plump waist and exhaled softly: “It’s better to be passive.”
"ah?"
"Farewell? You, just be a good husband and teach your son? The rest is your own husband! Let's not mention those troublesome things. Today, my husband once again witnessed the majestic appearance of a million troops outside the city?
I couldn't help but get excited.
How about we discuss the art of hanging gold hooks upside down?”
Qi Ya felt her husband's palm wandering under her underwear at some point, and glared at Young Master Liu angrily.
“What will happen when you die? How long have you been thinking about these things?”
Liu Mingzhi smiled happily, picked up the beauty by his waist and walked towards the screen.
“In life, the most important thing is to enjoy yourself in time.
As for some troublesome and trivial matters, just let the soldiers come and cover them up with water and earth."
At the end of the day, Qi Yun’s boudoir resounded with enchanting notes.
Qi Yun, who had left and returned, heard the red-tinged movement in the room and stamped her lotus feet in annoyance. She was anxious and angry, but her husband actually had the intention to hold her sister in the daytime.
The sun was setting in the west, and after a refreshing bath, Young Master Liu and the beautiful Qi Ya walked out of the room and hurried towards the front hall.
“Sister Ya, please give me the order for my husband. Except for the maids and servants, Yun’er, Lian’er, Yan’er Yiyi, Yaoyao Chengfeng, everyone should come to the front hall to announce something for my husband.” m
“Okay, I understand.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Ya's retreating figure and turned towards his study.
“Hey, brother, why are you in the study?”
As soon as Liu Mingzhi entered the study, he found Song Qing holding a candle and hunched over the sand table, thinking about something.
“Idle time is idle, it’s better to find something interesting to do. Besides coming here to study the sand table as a brother in your house.
How are you? How do you feel about visiting the military review today? Have you regained the feeling of guiding the country in the past? "
“Not so good?”
Song Qing paused, put the candlestick in his hand on the edge of the sand table, turned to look at Young Master Liu with a frown and asked: "What? What happened?"
Liu Mingzhi once again wasted a lot of time and briefly recounted to Song Qing what happened today when he reviewed the three armies in the wilderness west of the city.
Song Qing’s expression became serious after hearing this, and he wandered around the room with his chin in his hands.
“It’s really not good. Your popularity and power have even been suppressed by His Majesty. I’m afraid His Majesty has developed some unsightly thoughts towards you.
How do you plan to respond?”
“Naturally, we should remain unchanged in response to all changes. Now all I can do is wait!”
“Wait? Wait for what?”
"The secret must not be leaked. It just so happens that you are also in the house. My brother is going to announce something today, so you can also be a witness."
"What are you announcing? You want to take a concubine again? Can you bear it?"
Song Qing's words made the somewhat heavy atmosphere disappear. Liu Mingzhi glared at Song Qing angrily.
“This young master is so like a hungry wolf in lust. He is still thinking about taking concubines at any age.”
“What’s wrong with being in your thirties? It’s common for people in their fifties to take young girls aged 14 or 15 as concubines. It’s not uncommon. If you’re only thirty and want to take a concubine, what’s wrong with that?”
"I won't bullshit you anymore. I plan to make arrangements for my legitimate concubine. It's not an option to continue to delay it."
Song Qing frowned and nodded cautiously.
“This is indeed an important issue. Since ancient times, children and elders have been arranged in an orderly manner, and concubines and concubines have been distinguished. Arranging it early can indeed save a lot of trouble in the future.
It’s not that my eldest brother told you, you should have decided on this matter when the children were just born, and not until now. Now the children have gradually become sensible. If there is no comprehensive plan for the distinction between descendants and concubines, it will be easy for them to be confused.
There are cracks in the brotherly relationship.
What are you going to do?
Although the child Chengfeng is the eldest son, according to the rules, the child Chengzhi is also the legitimate son.
Judging from the status of the third princess Fu Zhengping's wife, Cheng Qian's child is also the legitimate son.
It would be great if the child Chengzhi was born first. The eldest son would be a sure bet, but you and your sister Qinglian would have an heir first, Chengfeng.
Now you may be in a dilemma.
The palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are full of flesh, so you can’t treat anyone badly. But there are no rules, and if they are not settled in time, it will be a troublesome thing for them and your family in the future.”
Liu Mingzhi gently rubbed his forehead: "What's the trouble? That's the identity you should have."
“You mean what you said has already come to fruition? Can I take the liberty of asking who you plan to appoint to succeed the throne?
Normally Chengzhi is the most reasonable, but Chengqian is the third princess’s heir. If Chengzhi is established, what will you do with the third princess and Chengqian’s nephew?”
"We don't want to make a decision. Let the three brothers choose. Whatever they choose will be what they choose. Everything depends on God's will."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled at Song Qing and groped under the desk.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi walked out with three wooden boxes of medium size and medium size.
"The three brothers are very harmonious. The so-called establishment of legitimate concubines is just a pretext to show to outsiders."
Song Qing stared blankly at the three wooden boxes in Young Master Liu's hand and thought for a long time.
"Brother, don't scare me. Why do I think you are not establishing the distinction between concubines and concubines, but are instead arranging the funeral arrangements?"
Liu Mingzhi breathed out softly: "Brother, my mentor once said that nothing in the world can ever defeat anyone. Things in the world are impermanent, and it is inevitable for brothers to stumble, so be prepared in advance to be prepared.
Let’s go, you, the children’s uncle, go and be a witness to the children!”
