The next day, around three o'clock in the morning, Liu Dashao, who was still huddled in bed playing chess with Duke Zhou, was pulled up from the bed by Qi Yun.
"Husband, it's already midnight, it's time for you to get up."
Liu Mingzhi reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes, raised his head and stared in front of him, only to see Qi Yun, whose face was red and colorful, staring at him angrily.
"Yun'er, what are you doing? My husband hasn't had enough sleep yet. In order to let you sisters get the rain and dew equally, it was easy for me last night."
Quickly let me go and let me sleep for a while, and I will wake up after sleeping for a while."
When Qi Yun saw her husband, he murmured in a lazy tone and was about to lie down again, and hurriedly pulled Liu Mingzhi up again.
"Husband, it's not that I don't want you to sleep a little longer, but you really can't sleep in anymore today. Have you forgotten that my little sister is leaving home today?
It's already been a long time now, how long will it take for you to sleep again? Aren't you going to practice it for my little sister?"
When Liu Mingzhi heard Qi Yun's words, the hazy sleepiness in his eyes gradually disappeared. He stretched out with his arms raised high, and with clear eyes, Liu Mingzhi got out of bed and walked to the closet.
"Yun'er, what is this girl Xuan'er doing now?"
When Qi Yun saw her husband walking towards the wardrobe, she also hurriedly ran towards the wardrobe not far away.
"Little sister, she has already packed up her rituals. Now she is just waiting for you, a good brother, to get up and practice it for her.
Husband, you go and wash up first, and I will find some clothes for you."
Liu Mingzhi nodded lazily and turned directly to the washing rack behind the screen.
"Okay, let me take a shower first."
"Husband, what do you want to wear today? Casual clothes or formal clothes?"
"There is no court meeting today, and there are no distinguished guests coming to the door. Naturally, I have to wear ordinary clothes. It is more comfortable to wear ordinary clothes."
"I understand, what color are the clothes?"
"Didn't my husband bring back a sky-blue Confucian robe last night? I'll wear that one today!"
"Well, I understand. I will get it for you right away. You should wash up quickly. Don't let my little sister wait in a hurry."
"Don't worry, it's still very early now, so Xuan'er can't delay her on her way.
Besides, if you delay, just delay. Anyway, my little sister doesn’t have any urgent matters waiting for her to deal with. At worst, she will have to leave home tomorrow.
My husband is thinking about letting her stay at home for a few more days. Doesn’t this just suit my wishes?"
Liu Mingzhi casually replied to Qi Yun, leaned over in front of the copper basin, picked up warm water with his hands, and started washing.
Not long after, after washing, Liu Mingzhi put on the sky blue robe that Sakai Hoshino gave him yesterday.
After Qi Yun put the jade pendant on Liu Mingzhi's waist, she looked at her husband's clothes in surprise.
"Husband, this dress fits you very well. Did you try to buy it at a clothing store?"
"When did my husband buy clothes by himself? They were given by others."
"Others gave it to you? Who gave it to you? Men don't give you clothes. The person who wants to give you clothes should be a woman. And the clothes that fit you so well must be a clever woman. No. Is it Sakai Hoshino who gave it to you?"

Liu Mingzhi heard Qi Yun's question and admitted it openly. After all, the relationship between him and Sakai Hoshino was innocent, and there was no need to hide anything from Qi Yun.
"Yun'er, you guessed it right. This dress is the gift Sakai Hoshino gave to my husband yesterday."
Qi Yun nodded with a clear expression, looked at her husband with a slightly strange look and asked softly: "What's wrong with you two? Why did she give you clothes?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun's scrutinizing eyes, and cheerfully raised his hand to tickle the beauty's nose.
"Don't think blindly. She said she hadn't seen her husband for so many years, so she prepared a gift for him. He didn't expect it to be a piece of clothing.
Of course, her words are just an excuse, in fact, she just wants to use this to get closer to her husband."
"In that case, Sakai Hoshino wants something from your husband?"
"Yes, she does have something to ask for. She hopes that her husband, Emperor Dalong, can reward their Japanese mission with some of our Dalong's excellent military equipment.
My husband is still thinking about the specific situation, so I won’t go into details with you Yun’er.”
"So that's it, but I have to say that Sakai Hoshino has really good taste!"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the jade fan on the desk and knocked Qi Yun on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the room.
"Let's go, we should go practice for this girl Xuan'er."
"OK, all right."
"By the way Yun'er, where is this girl Xuan'er waiting for her husband?"
"When I came to the room and called my husband to wake up, Xuan'er was saying goodbye to the sisters one by one in the main hall. I guess they are still waiting for us in the main hall."
"Okay, then let's go to the main hall and take a look first."
After the couple left the courtyard, they walked straight to the main hall of the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion, talking and laughing.
As soon as Liu Mingzhi and his wife came to the corridor outside the hall, they heard voices coming from the hall, which were mixed with Liu Xuan's voice.
Liu Mingzhi quickened his pace and walked into the hall, his eyes falling directly on the little sister Liu Xuan who was talking softly to Ling Weier.
"Xuan'er."
"Little sister has met big brother."
"Sisters I have met my husband."
"Okay, okay, if the family wants to be treated as a courtesy, please don't do it."
"Thank you, husband."
"Thank you, brother."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the baggage on the table next to him, and smiled apologetically at Liu Xuan.
"Xuan'er, my eldest brother slept a little late last night because he was reviewing documents, so I kept you waiting for a long time."
Liu Xuan waved her hand hurriedly: "It's okay, it's still early. It doesn't matter if I leave early and leave late."
"Xuan'er, it's good that you can understand me. By the way, are you really not going to stay at home for a few more days?
Xuan'er, it's not easy for you to come back. We are finally reunited. Can't you spend more time with your elder brother and your sisters-in-law at home?
It's been a year. You've only come back once in a while, and you've only been here for three or five days before leaving. Brother, I really don't want you to leave home so soon."
Liu Xuan listened to her eldest brother's plea to stay, and shook her head sadly.
"Brother, wait until next time. My little sister promises you that next time I come back, I will definitely stay at home for a longer period of time.
It’s not like my little sister won’t come back after she leaves, maybe one day my little sister will suddenly appear in front of you and your sisters-in-law, so just don’t fail to welcome me then.”
"Smelly girl, what did you say?"
Liu Xuan smiled and grabbed Young Master Liu's hand and shook it gently.
"Hehehe, I'm just making a joke for you, brother, don't be angry.
Brother, don’t worry, my little sister will come home often to visit."
Liu Mingzhi nodded melancholy, walked to the desk, picked up the bundle Liu Xuan had prepared, and walked out of the hall.
"Well, since you have decided to leave, my eldest brother will say nothing more.
