Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the beauty's light eyes that were once again full of expectation, changed into a comfortable posture and leaned on the chair.
"Xingye, today is the day of the imperial court. Before I came to you, I just came out of the palace.
Not only did I feel the respect that your Japanese mission showed to me and to Dalong, but all the civil and military officials in the court also felt it.
It can be said that I, as well as all the civil and military officials, have a very good impression of your Japanese mission.
Regarding the matter of rewarding your Japanese mission with well-equipped troops, I had discussed it in detail with several important officials in the court before leaving the palace."
Sakai Hoshino sat on the chair next to Liu Mingzhi, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his eyes a little excited, but also vaguely uneasy.
"Hmm, what's the result? What's the result?"
After talking for so long, Liu Mingzhi felt that his mouth and tongue were a little dry, so he moved his shoulders and reached out to pick up the tea on the table.
"Hoshino, didn't this tea stay overnight?"
Sakai Hoshino quickly waved his hand, stood up and walked to Liu Mingzhi.
"I didn't stay overnight, I didn't stay overnight, this is the tea Hoshino prepared just in the morning.
It’s just that Hoshino has already drank this cup of tea, so Hoshino will pour you another cup.”
As the beauty spoke, she stretched out her hand to take the tea cup from Liu Mingzhi's hand.
Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi cleverly avoided the beauty's movements, took the opportunity to hold the beauty's waist that could only be grasped, and gently held her on his lap.
"It's okay. You just drank it. I can still despise you. It's not like someone else drank it..."
Liu Mingzhi replied nonchalantly, put the tea directly into his mouth, and then put the teacup back on the table.
Sakai Hoshino saw that Liu Mingzhi had drank all the tea and said nothing more.
She lowered her head and glanced at Liu Mingzhi's hands tightly holding her waist. She leaned sideways and silently nestled on Liu Mingzhi's shoulders, and a pair of slender arms naturally wrapped around his neck.
"Liu Jun, please continue."
"Actually, there is nothing that needs to be stated one by one, but since you are looking forward to it so much, Hoshino, I will give you some reassurance.
Before leaving the palace, I have ordered several important officials in the court to give you a final answer in three days."
The beauty straightened her waist, and the uneasiness deep in her eyes slowly disappeared, and her face suddenly became full of smiles.
"Three days? Just wait three more days?"
"Yes, just wait three more days.
After three days, the court will give you a final result."
Sakai Hoshino couldn't help but let go of the slender jade fingers holding Liu Dashao's neck, patted him hard, and smiled gratefully at Liu Mingzhi with his pretty face.
"Great, great. He'er and Mr. Shiqiao finally don't have to wait aimlessly anymore."
Liu Mingzhi saw the joyful and excited look on the beauty's pretty face, and he picked up the cloud gauze ribbon around her waist and played with it gently.
"Hoshino."
"Hey~, Mr. Liu, tell me."
The business of Dalong's mission this time is about to be settled, and the heavy burden in the beauty's heart has finally been lifted.
When he heard Young Master Liu calling his name, his answering voice was much lighter and more delicate.
"I can indeed give you an accurate answer in three days. However, aren't you afraid that the final result will not be the one you want?"
The beauty's face was slightly filled with joy, she pursed her red lips and was silent for a moment, then nodded to Young Master Liu with a calm expression.
"Scared! Very scared!"
"Since you are scared, why are you still so happy? Aren't you worried that you will be extremely happy and sad in the future?"
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino told you a few days ago that if the result is not satisfactory, at least He'er and Mr. Ishibashi still have time to think of another solution.
In addition to the way you rewarded our mission with military equipment, Mr. Liu, maybe the two of them can find other ways to help their brother in crisis.
As long as it doesn't fall completely into despair, it means there is still hope for everything."
Sakai Hoshino breathed in the fragrance gently, sat up straight in Liu Mingzhi's arms, and looked at him quietly with a solemn expression.
"Jun Liu, no matter what the outcome is in three days, I will face it bravely.
Even if it is not the result Hoshino wants, I will accept it.
It is better to have results than to continue waiting aimlessly.
Hoshino, to be honest with you, Hoshino is very afraid that the final result will not be what I want.
I'm afraid, Mr. Liu, that if you deny our mission's request, the family will be precarious due to the combination of the royal army and the Goguryeo army because it does not have the support of sophisticated military equipment.
He was afraid that his brother would be defeated step by step under the attack of the enemy, and in the end he would be in danger because he was waiting for no help.
I am even more afraid that my brother will lose his ancestral inheritance and be unable to think about it for a while, and his life will be in danger.
I am also afraid of losing my home and becoming homeless.
However, no matter how scared you are, you still have to face it after all.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty's pretty face that was both happy and slightly sad. He frowned slightly and let out a breath, and cursed Kazuko Sakai in his heart.
If Kazuko Sakai, a bastard, hadn't told Hoshino the truth, why would Hoshino be here worrying about him.
For a moment, Liu Mingzhi almost couldn't help but tell the stupid woman in his arms the truth about Sakai Kazuko's current situation.
Let her know what the situation of her brother, whom she has been worried about, is going on at this moment.
This will make her less worried and more happy.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Mingzhi finally held it back.
If Kazuko Sakai knew that she had known his true situation, the things he planned later might also be affected.
In this case, we might as well let him continue to expand.
I have been coveting those silver mountains in Japan for a long time.
No, it should be said that it is not just the silver mountains of the Japanese country, but the entire territory of the Japanese country.
In other words, all the territories in the world are within his own expectations.
The ambition in one’s own heart.
It has never been just the so-called Heavenly Kingdom, and all nations come to the Kingdom.
Now that things have reached this stage, no matter how entangled I am, I have to hold it back.
No matter what, don't lose big for small things.
"Hoshino."
The beautiful woman suppressed her melancholy, cheered up, and continued to look at Liu Mingzhi with a smile.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"How about I tell you some good news?"
"Huh? What's the good news?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and moved towards the beauty's delicate red lips with a smile.
"I'm going to tell you some good news, Hoshino, won't you express your gratitude?"
When Sakai Hoshino saw Mr. Liu's movements, he subconsciously dodged back.
Even though she had already married as a woman and became someone else's wife.
Even though she has reached the age that Dalong custom considers a mature lady, and has passed the age of first love.
Even though she had had skin-to-skin contact with Liu Jun several times, she still couldn't help but feel her heart tremble and her face turn red when faced with such an intimate teasing from him.
This kind of feeling is what I want, but it is something I cannot face calmly.
"No, Mr. Liu, you are so bad, you only know how to bully me."
"If you really don't mean it, then I won't say it."
"Are you sure? Is this really good news?"
"If you don't believe it, forget it. I'll save myself wasting my breath."
The beauty pretended to be angry and snorted. She turned her beautiful eyes and pondered for a moment. Her eyelashes fluttered and she kissed Liu Mingzhi's lips softly.
But when the beauty wanted to leave at once, she found that Liu Mingzhi had already restrained her waist.
After a long time, the beauty's lips turned red and her eyes were blurred. She took a long breath and gave Young Master Liu a resentful look.
"If you're bad Mr. Liu, you'll bully me."
"Hehehe, good Hoshino, I told you just now.
You are my Liu Mingzhi’s woman, if I don’t bully you, who will I bully?”
"Humph, I knew that every time you came to my place alone, nothing good would happen.
In addition to being taken advantage of by you, I am still being taken advantage of by you."
"Then do you like it when your man, me, takes advantage of you?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"Hmm, I don't know."
"Hey, it seems that my expression is not good enough. Then I will express it better."
Sakai Hoshino looked at the face of Mr. Liu who wanted to get close to him after a disagreement, and nodded quickly.
"I know, I know, Hoshino knows."
"Then tell me whether you like it or not."
"I like it, that's all.
Now can you tell Hoshino what the good news is?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and pinched the beautiful woman's green hair scattered around her round and round earlobes, gently wrapped it around his fingertips a few times, and looked at the beautiful woman with a flash of narrow-mindedness in his eyes.
"The good news is that I have agreed to your mission's request."
"What?"
The beauty asked in surprise, her pretty face was stunned, and she stared at Liu Dashao for a long time without reacting.
What? Liu Jun, what did he just say?
She had never thought there was anything wrong with her ears, and for the first time she began to wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the disbelieving expression on the beauty's pretty face, and the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"I said, I have agreed to your mission's request for a reward of military equipment."
The beauty heard Young Master Liu's words again and immediately came out of her daze. Then she hugged his neck, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement that had never appeared in these days.
"What did you say, Mr. Liu? Did you agree? Mr. Liu, you already agreed?"
But didn’t you just tell Hoshino that the final result would not come until three days later?”
Liu Mingzhi saw the excitement in Jiaren's beautiful eyes and wanted to say something, but Jiaren hugged his neck and kept swinging around, not giving him a chance to speak.
"Liu Jun, don't be silent.
Oops, Mr. Liu, you are so anxious Hoshino, please tell me, did you just tell me that you had agreed to He'er's request?
Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and pressed the beauty's shoulders, sighing helplessly.
"Hu Xingye, if you grab my neck and keep shaking me, it won't be a question of whether I speak or not, but a question of whether I still have the life to speak.
Don’t you feel that my neck is almost broken by you?”
Sakai Hoshino was stunned for a moment, and instinctively set his eyes on Liu Mingzhi's neck.
When the beautiful woman saw the clear red marks on Mr. Liu's neck, she realized why Mr. Liu had been silent just now.
He also realized how hard he had held Liu Mingzhi's neck with his hands just now because he was too excited.
Seeing the red mark on Liu Mingzhi's neck becoming clearer and clearer, the beauty's beautiful eyes showed both distress and self-blame.
At the same time, more people are still nervous.
Sakai Hoshino gently stroked the red mark on Liu Mingzhi's neck with his fingers, and a little mist could not help but appear in his beautiful eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hoshino didn't mean it, Hoshino didn't mean it.
Liu Jun, does your neck hurt?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty's confused and uneasy expression, and raised his hand disapprovingly to rub her neck a few times.
Apart from some warmth in my neck, I didn't feel any pain at all.
"Hoshino, is the red mark obvious?"
"Well, it wasn't very obvious at first, but now it's becoming more and more obvious.
Mr. Liu, Hoshino knows that he was wrong, please don’t be angry, okay?”
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head, then hooked his fingers on the tip of the beauty's straight nose.
"Don't worry, I won't be angry. As a man of seven feet, I'm not some weakling.
It's just a few red marks on the neck, so you have nothing to worry about."
Sakai Hoshino's pretty face was full of regret as she rubbed the red mark on Liu Mingzhi's neck, her face still showing self-blame.
"Mr. Liu, according to your dragon laws, Hoshino has already committed a treasonous crime."
"Hey, it's not as serious as you said, Dalong's laws are not that harsh.
Although Dalong has a saying that the power of an emperor should not be violated lightly, it must be based on the situation.
Officials angrily reprimanding the emperor, and ministers bluntly admonishing are all behaviors that offend the emperor's face, but according to the Dragon Law, this kind of behavior is not illegal.
Because this is the right given to them by the emperor, and also the right given to them by the Dragon Law.
If they kill each other if they don't agree with each other, then Dalong probably won't have anyone who dares to serve as an official."
"real?"
"Of course it's true, but it's also personal."
"Um?"
"Some emperors are narrow-minded and cannot listen to straightforward advice, so they will be angry with their ministers.
An emperor like this would be a coward.
But Ming Jun is different. Not only can he endure the angry scolding of his officials, but he can also listen to the outspoken advice of his ministers.
Fortunately, your man and I are a wise man with a broad mind."
Sakai Hoshino looked at Liu Mingzhi's cheerful expression and nodded in understanding.
“It seems Hoshino still doesn’t understand Dalong’s culture well enough.”
"Hoshino, these things have nothing to do with whether you understand Dalong culture or not. You don't need to care about it, and you don't need to take it to heart.
I just hope you can understand that when the two of us are flirting, it's nothing if you leave some red marks on your man's body.
Don't forget, the day we became husband and wife for the first time, you scratched my back with your nails.
Didn’t I say nothing?
Have you forgotten how awesome you were Hoshino that day?"
When Sakai Hoshino heard Liu Mingzhi suddenly change the topic to the topic of bed, the uneasiness on his pretty face was instantly replaced by shyness.
"Liu Jun, you."
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw the child in his arms looking so shy again.
"Hahaha, just stop being nervous and scared. I'm really not angry."
"Yeah, Hoshino understands, does your neck really not hurt?"
Liu Mingzhi did not answer the beauty's question, but stretched out his hand and pulled the beauty's jade neck without any warning.
Then, with her puzzled eyes on him, he stood up, hugged her and walked towards the full-length mirror next to the bed.
Liu Mingzhi stopped in front of the full-length mirror and gestured towards the full-length mirror.
"Look, are there any red marks on your neck?"
"Yes, yes."
"Does your neck hurt?"
The beauty was startled for a moment, and instantly understood what Liu Mingzhi meant.
"Liu Jun, you are so kind."
"As long as you understand."
After the worry in her heart subsided, the beauty suddenly realized that she still had a lot of questions that she had not yet asked.
"Liu Jun, please put me down first. I haven't figured out the reward yet?"
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and glanced at the beauty's pretty face, which showed a questioning look again, and walked towards the bed two steps away with a faint smile.
Gently placing the beauty on the bed, Liu Mingzhi lay lazily on the pillow at the head of the bed.
"Any more questions?"
"Liu Jun, you just said that you had agreed to He'er's marriage proposal.
That being the case, why did you tell Hoshino at the beginning that the final result would not come until three days later?
Hoshino is almost confused by you, what is going on?"
Liu Mingzhi turned sideways slightly, raised his hand and slapped the beauty's buttocks.
"Silly Hoshino, I have already agreed to your nephew's request.
However, there is also the Ministry of War below, as well as the General Supervisor, the Military Construction Supervisor and other government agencies to jointly handle this matter.
Doesn’t it take time to calculate the number of rewarded troops? Doesn’t it take time to determine where to mobilize the troops?
Three days is fast enough."
After Sakai Hoshino listened to Liu Mingzhi's explanation, he stared at him in silence for a long time, then cheered with a beaming smile and threw himself directly into Liu Mingzhi's arms.
"In that case, Mr. Liu, your reward for giving us military equipment is already a sure thing?"
"wrong."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi saw the beautiful face of the person in his arms who was suddenly nervous again, hugged the beautiful woman's weak and boneless waist, turned over with slight force and pressed the beautiful woman under him.
"It's foolproof."
Sakai Hoshino looked at Liu Mingzhi's evil smile, and snorted with feigned anger on his pretty face.
"Hmph! Mr. Liu, you are so bad. You almost scared me to death."
"Hoshino."
"Um?"
"I helped you solve such a big problem, and you can let go of the heavy burden on your heart.
How do you plan to repay me as a great benefactor?"
Sakai Hoshino's beautiful eyes looked at Young Master Liu's resolute face with tenderness, and his long eyelashes fluttered and stared at Young Master Liu for a long time.
"I, I will listen to you."
"real?"
"Well, I sweated a lot when I went to the street to buy fabrics. I'm going to take a shower first."
"I walked around the street for a long time and bought you a hosta. I also sweated a lot."
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he took out the jasper hairpin he had bought for the beautiful woman on the street from his sleeves, and placed it in front of the beautiful woman with a smile.
"Together?"
The beauty's beautiful eyes looked at the hosta in Young Master Liu's hand with confusion, and she called back in a voice that sounded like a mosquito.
"Um."
After a long time, the beautiful woman's voice, which was mixed with joy and resentment, came from the boudoir.
"Liu Jun, are you just holding on like this? It's so strange... ugh!"
After a while, the beauty's boudoir was filled with spring scenery.
