Chapter 3144: Get rid of the familiar and stay the familiar
Qinglian's delicate body trembled slightly, and her delicate face hesitated for a long time before gently shaking her head.
"I, I don't know what to say.
As soon as Qinglian finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled on Young Master Liu's sleeve, looking at him silently with her beautiful eyes full of tenderness.
"Husband, I believe that no matter what you do, husband, you will definitely have your own reasons.
Although I don’t know what Dao Dao is thinking in your heart, I can be sure of one thing, that is, you will never hurt our son.”
Young Master Liu took a breath of alcohol, raised his hand to hold Qinglian's pretty face, and silently combed her black hair that was somewhat scattered around her ears.
He and Qinglian have been married for more than 20 years, and the silly woman in front of him is still the same as when she first married him.
Believe in yourself as always and never doubt yourself.
She is still so gentle and considerate, so understanding, and so considerate of herself.
For Qinglian, a good lady, I am not only touched, but also moved.
"Lian'er, thank you, thank you for understanding me as my husband."
Qinglian Liu frowned and twisted her fingers hard on the soft flesh of Young Master Liu's waist.
"Hey, Lian'er, what are you doing?"
Qinglian loosened her fingers and rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with an angry expression.
"Smelly husband, what did you say I did? Do you understand that you made a mistake?"
Young Master Liu hissed and rubbed his waist, and asked with a depressed expression: "No, Lian'er, where did I make a mistake as my husband?"
Qinglian threw away the red lantern that had already extinguished the candle in her hand, narrowed her pretty eyes slightly, stood on tiptoes and moved directly towards the corner of Young Master Liu's mouth.
After a long time.
Lip parting.
Qinglian's pretty face was blushing, her eyes were blurred and she pursed her red lips, then gave Young Master Liu a 'severe' look.
"Bad husband, you have told me this more than once before.
We husband and wife are not allowed to say the word "thank you", have you forgotten?
You just said thank you to me, what's the matter, are you treating me like an outsider?"
When Liu Mingzhi heard Qinglian's reproachful tone, his face suddenly became embarrassed and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Well! In that case, my husband did make a mistake, my husband did make a mistake."
As he spoke, Mr. Liu grabbed the beautiful lady's wrist and happily placed it on his waist.
"Good Lian'er, why don't you come a few more times? No matter how hard you try, I promise you won't say anything."
Qinglian threw away her arm, hummed softly and rolled her eyes.
"Humph, go to hell, I'm not that vicious."
"Hehehe, as a husband, I know that you love me the most, Lian'er."
Young Master Liu laughed happily a few times and complimented the beauty sweetly.
Qinglian leaned down and picked up the red lantern on the ground. She raised her jade finger and pointed in the direction of the courtyard, her eyebrows narrowed and she sighed softly.
"Oh, husband, now that you still have the heart to talk about these things, what should we do about the things inside?"
Liu Mingzhi took the opportunity to look at the room with flickering lights and shadowy figures, and put his hands in his sleeves with a sad expression.
"Lian'er, how many times has this happened to them?"
"This is the only time I knew. When I got up in the morning and washed up, the girl Tao'er hesitated for a long time before telling me.
As for whether the young couple had any quarrels in the past few days, I don't know."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "Lian'er, think about it again, besides Tao'er, are there any other maids who have told you about the relationship between Chengfeng and the couple?
Was there a quarrel?
Even if it is mentioned accidentally, it counts."
Qinglian looked up at her white jade neck and recalled it for a long time. Her eyebrows were slightly condensed and she shook her head at Young Master Liu.
"No, not even once.
I am the mother of Chengfeng and Serena, so if the maids mentioned to me that there was a verbal dispute between the couple, I would definitely take it to heart."
Young Master Liu nodded slightly and gently twirled the jade ring on his thumb: "In other words, the verbal dispute between Chengfeng and Serena probably only happened in the recent days.
Even, maybe it happened within the past two or three days."
Qinglian bit her red lips lightly, a look of deep sadness flashed between her brows.
"Well, maybe that's the case.
Husband, what should we do now? Do you want to go over together and give me some advice?"
Liu Mingzhi's expression was normal, and he hurriedly grabbed Qinglian's wrist and pulled her towards the outside of the courtyard.
Qinglian asked softly with a worried look: "Husband, are we going back like this? Are we really not going to give you some advice?"
"Lian'er, it's not convenient for us to go there at this hour.
Besides, let’s talk about what happened in the past at this time.
Didn't that clearly tell Chengfeng and Serena that a maid told us what happened between them?
Chengfeng's side is fine, but what about Serena's side?
We, as parents, must not take care of the face of the couple!"
Qinglian's pretty face was stunned for a moment, then she nodded silently after she came to her senses.
"That's true, husband, you are more thoughtful."
"Go back, let the couple calm down first.
When my husband is free, I can have a good chat with this guy Chengfeng."
"Yeah, yeah, I listen to you."
Liu Mingzhi held Qinglian's wrist and walked silently, looking back at the courtyard behind him with a melancholy expression, and sighed silently in his heart.
Alas, if nothing else happens.
The source of the quarrel between Chengfeng and Serena was most likely the day when Jingyao gave birth.
It is related to the topic that I and my eldest son Liu Chengfeng were chatting with in the corridor of the East Palace.
The eldest son of the emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty.
A little queen of Tsarist Russia.
Between the couple, the issue of whether to stay or stay is between them.
I have to say that this is a very difficult problem.
"Husband, this is not the way back to my room!"
"Yes, my husband knows that this is the way to Lingyi's room.
My husband has asked Lingyi to prepare hot water for bathing, so of course I have to go to her room."
Qinglian looked at her husband's smiling expression and struggled slightly: "I have already bathed. You can go to sister Lingyi's room to bathe yourself. I will go back to my room to rest first."
Young Master Liu smiled and grabbed the beautiful woman's wrist, then picked up Qinglian and strode towards Huang Lingyi's boudoir.
"Lian'er, this winter, the weather is so cold at night, how cold it is to sleep alone.
It's better for the three of us to rest together, it will be warmer."
"Bah, there is a stove in my room, I'm not afraid of the cold."
"Hehehe, you can't help it."
"Bah, you are a scoundrel."
After a long time.
Moving notes sounded in Huang Lingyi's boudoir.
Willow branches on the moon.
When spring is in full swing.
…
time flies.
As if in the blink of an eye.
It's already mid-December.
Dalong Taiping six years, December 15th.
The day of the last great court meeting of the imperial court.
The cock crows three times, but the sky outside the window is still dim.
Young Master Liu, who was sleeping soundly, was directly pulled up from the warm bed by sisters Qi Ya and Huyan Yunyao.
"Husband, the rooster has crowed three times. It's time to get up and go to court."
Young Master Liu yawned sleepily, leaned forward and looked out the window.
Listening to the crowing of roosters from the backyard, Young Master Liu stretched out his hand to rub the dirt at the corners of his eyes, got up and got out of bed and walked towards the washing rack behind the screen.
Seeing this, sisters Qi Ya and Hu Yanjunyao walked towards the stove not far away and the other towards the wardrobe in the corner.
On top of their graceful bodies, the two sisters were both wearing thin and revealing clothes that loomed over their snow-white skin. They were each busy with what they were doing.
"Husband, please quickly test the temperature of the water. If it is hot, I will add some cold water for you to adjust it."
Liu Mingzhi reached out and touched the hot water in the copper basin, smiled lightly and waved his hand.
"Sister Ya, the water temperature is just right. There is no need to adjust it any more."
"Hey, that's good, that's good. Husband, you wash your face first, and I'll prepare salt water for you."
After Huyan Yunyao took out a dragon robe from the closet, she immediately turned around and looked at Young Master Liu.
"Husband, are you still wearing this black dragon robe today?"
"Yes, it's this one again."
"What about the crown? The flat crown or the heaven crown?"
"Pingtian crown."
"Okay, I will match it for you."
Soon.
Young Master Liu spit out the salt water in his mouth, silently walked to Qi Ya's dressing table and sat down.
"Sister Ya, you tie your husband's hair, and my sister will change his clothes."
"Yeah, sister knows."
After some tea time.
Under the attentive service of sisters Qi Ya and Huyan Yunyao, Young Master Liu put on his dragon robe and crown.
Qi Ya leaned over and put the ring on Young Master Liu's waist, then straightened Liu's waist and let out a gentle breath.
"Husband, it's ready."
Huyan Yunyao smiled brightly and directly handed the Heavenly Sword in her hand to her husband.
"Husband, Heavenly Sword."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and nodded, taking the Heavenly Sword from the beauty's hand.
"Sister Ya, Yao'er, my husband has gone to court first. You two sisters can continue to catch up on your sleep under the quilt."
"Hey, my sisters congratulate me on sending you off to your husband."
Young Master Liu chuckled, waved his hand, and rushed straight out of the beauty's boudoir.
Sister Qi Ya watched her husband's back gradually go away, and then gently closed the door.
Outside the gate of Liu Mansion.
Lu Song saw Mr. Liu walking out of the mansion and quickly opened the curtain on the carriage.
"Master, you are here."
"Let's see the young master."
"Um."
Young Master Liu responded casually and got into the carriage under Liu Song's service.
Liu Song waved his hands to Xiao Wu, Xiao Jiu and the others, and lightly whipped them.
"drive!"
After about half a stick of incense, Liu Song drove the carriage slowly to a stop outside the palace gate.
As soon as Young Master Liu stepped off the carriage, a group of Forbidden Army generals immediately knelt on one knee and saluted.
"We see your majesty, long live my emperor."
"You are exempt from the courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi held the hilt of the Heavenly Sword at his waist with one hand and walked into the palace gate with steady and powerful steps.
"We respectfully send His Majesty back to the palace."
"Master, should we take a detour to the harem? Or go directly to Qinzheng Palace."
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the sky, then raised his head and gestured towards the majestic Qinzheng Hall in front of him.
"It's getting late. I guess all civil and military officials from the court have arrived. Let's go directly to the Qinzheng Hall."
"yes."
Young Master Liu nodded lightly and hurried towards the Qinzheng Palace.
"Master, many of the steps on the Thousand Steps Platform are already frozen. Please be careful where you step."
As soon as Master Liu and his servant came outside the palace door, Liu Song started shouting at the top of his voice.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials will greet you."
Hearing Liu Song's shout, the noisy conversation in the palace suddenly stopped.
Young Master Liu straightened his sleeves and walked directly into the hall.
When the civil and military officials in the Qinzheng Palace saw Young Master Liu walking into the palace, they quickly bowed and saluted.
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi climbed onto the dragon platform with great strides. After sitting on the dragon chair, he looked down at the civil and military officials in the palace with a calm expression.
"My lords, dear ministers, please take your seats without ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea prepared by Xiao Chengzi and took a sip. He smiled lightly and glanced at the civil and military officials who were already seated on the dragon stage.
"Which dear sir, do you have a book that you would like to report?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the veteran minister Hubu has written a memorial."
"allow!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, took out two documents from his sleeves, stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I received a report from the local chief officials of Yuezhou, Xuanzhou, Dengzhou... a total of seven states the day before yesterday.
The people in the seven states were all affected by the snow disaster half a month ago."
After listening to Jiang Yuanming's report, Young Master Liu's pupils suddenly shrank.
"How is the snow disaster situation in various state capitals? What is the safety situation of the people in state capitals?"
"Back to Your Majesty, among the seven state capitals, four of them have been snowing heavily for several days, and all that fell was heavy snow.
People's houses are overwhelmed, and some have collapsed."
"How are the people doing? Have any people been killed in the snow disaster?"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the reports from the chief officials of various prefectures, the people have suffered more or less injuries.
However, no civilians were killed."
"Jiang Aiqing, are you sure?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, among the documents reported by the governors of various states, there are also the Wanmin Letter signed by the common people from all over the country.
The Book of Ten Thousand People contains the signatures and fingerprints of every citizen.
Yesterday, the veteran directly summoned colleagues from all the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, big and small, and immediately retrieved the files of all the people in the local state capital from the record library.
I have been working around the clock to check the roster of all the people, and the contents on the roster are completely consistent with the contents on the document."
"Are you sure there is nothing missing?"
"I guarantee with my life that there will be no omissions."
The other officials from the Ministry of Revenue immediately stood up and walked to the center of the hall to announce their arrival.
"I will also guarantee with my life that there will be no omissions."
