Duguqing got straight to the point, but bluntly said that he would give up his position. Why is this?
She didn't know many things, and she suddenly lost her bearings.
An Nanzhi took Liu Zhiyin's hand, patted it, and then looked at Dugu Qing, "About this matter, you should go to Li Changan and tell Sister Liu what to say?"
Duguqing's eyebrows raised slightly, adding a touch of heroism, "Of course you know why, Li Changan refused this huge benefit for you."
"Annan Zhi, in the final analysis, this matter will be good for you."
"If I existed, you wouldn't have to worry about being a concubine anymore, wouldn't you?"
An Nan Zhi's cold mouth showed a slight sneer of disdain, "You treat marriage as a business, and you are not ashamed but proud of it. It's really disgusting."
"It's just a suitable marriage." Duguqing took another sip of tea, "In the entire Jin Dynasty, he is the only one who can match me, and I can match him. That's enough."
"It is beneficial to both Bailu Academy and the Imperial College. Why not let these two behemoths marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties?"
As she said this, she looked at Liu Zhiyin and said with a hint of apology, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry too, but this matter is no longer decided by personal will."
"That's why I took the liberty of visiting today."
An Nanzhi felt that Liu Zhiyin's hands were trembling, and she sighed in her heart. This situation was too cruel for Liu Zhiyin.
She said to Dugu Qing, "Why don't Master Dugu Pulse go and meet Li Changan in person?"
Duguqing smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will go see him, but before that, I still have to talk to Miss Zhiyin first."
"This matter is just a status and has nothing to do with anything else."
"Just a title? What Dugu Pulse Master said was too light." The coldness in Annan Zhi's eyes was flowing.
Dugu Qing glanced at Liu Zhiyin, who was in despair, and shook his head helplessly, "Well, it's me who was abrupt today. I'll take my leave and come back to see you another day."
After saying that, Dugu Qing nodded slightly to Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong, then stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.
At this time, Liu Zhiyin's timid voice came from behind, "Will this matter... be harmful to him?"
Duguqing stopped and looked back, "Disadvantages? There should be none. Instead, there will be many benefits."
"He will become my sister's most trusted minister in the court. When the time is right, he will be able to defeat ten thousand people."
"In the academy, he will be nurtured by the White Deer Academy and the Imperial College. He will have countless training resources. It is certain that he will achieve the third rank in the future."
"No matter which path he wants to take, it will be smooth sailing."
"Finally, you have a wife like me who is not ugly, right?"
There was a hint of self-mockery in Duguqing's eyes, "In the end, I found that I was insignificant."
Liu Zhiyin looked at Annan Zhi, wanting to know from her whether what Duguqing said was true.
An Nanzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded,
"If this marriage comes to fruition, it will be of great symbolic significance and is likely to break the ice between White Deer Academy and the Imperial College."
"But all these benefits have a premise, that is, he is worth it."
"It is because of his extraordinary poetic talent that he can single-handedly suppress the fate of the Jin Dynasty; because of his ability to manage the world, he can stabilize the four directions for the Jin Dynasty."
"So, you don't need to think so much, trust him, and don't think about fulfilling him."
"Even without these external benefits, he can still become a pillar supporting the sky."
Liu Zhiyin nodded silently, then looked at Duguqing, smiled and said,
"I will discuss it with Chang'an, but I can't decide whether it will work in the end. Please forgive me, Miss Dugu."
Duguqing glanced at Liu Zhiyin with a slightly surprised look. Liu Zhiyin's words clearly meant that he had agreed to the request to give up the throne.
This woman... really thinks about Li Changan in everything.
She nodded apologetically to Liu Zhiyin and left the yard.
In the small courtyard of the Li family, silence returned.
An Nanzhi sighed softly and patted Liu Zhiyin's trembling hand, "Sister... Chang'an will not agree."
"He has rejected the lobbying of more than a dozen third-grade scholars during this period. You should know his intentions better than anyone else."
Liu Zhiyin's eyes were like water rippling, and the smile on his face was mixed with a touch of sadness, "But... this is good for him, isn't it?"
Liu Linglong on the side was silent all the time. She just put her arms around her sister's shoulders, trying to comfort her sister's heart.
In her heart, as long as she can stay with her brother, it is enough.
But with this situation now, she felt panicked, but she couldn't refute it. She didn't want to cause trouble for her brother.
…
An Nanzhi comforted Liu Zhiyin for a few words, then stood up and left.
She can't go out for too long, otherwise she will be talked about at home again.
In order not to be grounded again, I have to follow the rules at home.
Especially during this period, the marriage led by the Queen caused a huge sensation in the upper echelons.
This is a major event that only third-grade scholars know about, and even the officials in the imperial court are unaware of it.
In the face of this matter, those bad things in the Supply and Marketing Department are nothing.
Annanzhi's own situation has therefore become more delicate.
It can only be said that once the marriage that the Queen wants to promote is successful, the Jin Dynasty will usher in a great change that will shock the world.
Li Changan's climbing speed will speed up again.
By then, whether in the officialdom or in the academy, it will become a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
The problem of his weak foundation will also be completely remedied.
It's just that such a marriage is a bit too realistic.
Annan Zhi herself has dream-like fantasies about relationships.
I got to know and fall in love with Li Changan without these worldly influences.
So I don't like this so-called marriage from the bottom of my heart.
Especially the target is my own Chang'an.
…
That night,
Li Changan came out of the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Department and returned to Huashengmen.
Members of the nearby espionage department quietly came forward, "My lord, Miss An and another woman came here today."
"The identity of the woman cannot be ascertained."
Li Changan frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The members of the spy department quickly disappeared into the darkness.
When Li Changan returned home, Liu Zhiyin quickly stepped forward and took the robe he took off.
The two were talking and laughing as usual.
But Li Changan was keenly aware that something was wrong. After dinner, while Liu Zhiyin was preparing the bath water, he pulled Liu Linglong over and
"Linglong, what happened at home today?"
Liu Linglong subconsciously wanted to speak, but then she remembered her sister's instructions and immediately shook her head, "No...no."
Li Changan came closer to Liu Linglong and stared into her eyes, "You can't fool me, little guy."
Liu Linglong pouted and said aggrievedly, "Sister didn't let me tell you."
Li Changan pinched her nose and said, "Little fool, your sister is unhappy, I have to know what's going on, right?"
"Didn't we agree that no matter what happens, we will never hide anything from our family?"
Liu Linglong leaned into Li Changan's arms and muttered, "Brother, will you... not want me and my sister?"
Li Changan lowered his head and touched the tips of their noses with Liu Linglong, "Silly girl, you and my bestie are my most important family members now. If I don't want anyone else, I won't want you."
Liu Linglong's little mouth was so big that it could catch an oil can, "A woman named Duguqing came here today and said she wanted to come into our house..."
Li Changan's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and then he smiled and touched Liu Linglong's head, "Don't worry, little Linglong, my brother will not agree to this marriage."
"Did your sister agree? Are you planning to persuade me to agree too?"
Liu Linglong nodded.
"You guys..." Li Changan lightly pecked Liu Linglong on the lips, "I'll go and coax your sister."
"Yeah." Liu Linglong blinked her big, beautiful eyes.
Li Changan disappeared in an instant, and the next moment Liu Zhiyin's exclamation came from the east wing, followed by a crisp "pop" sound.
"You don't want to tell me, but you still want to make a decision secretly."
Then there was another "pop" sound,
"You are so distrustful of your husband-in-law, how dare you do it again in the future?"
"Crack."
"Um?"
Liu Linglong opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, Brother, is this how you coax your sister?
The next moment, Liu Zhiyin's pitiful cry came from the east wing, "Chang'an, it hurts..."
