Qi Yuning was held tightly in Lu Ze's arms and fell asleep. Lu Zexu was too tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep when he got to the bed.
Qi Yuning reached out and touched his face, which was similar to Lingling. She used to think that she had a crush on Lu Ze's face from the beginning because of Lingling.
In fact, she thought that if it weren't for Lingling, she would still like Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning moved forward and kissed Lu Ze's lips. After kissing for a while, he received Lu Ze's response.
Lu Ze said in a hoarse voice: "Ning Ning, don't provoke me. I don't want to take a cold bath anymore. Also, Brother Qi Wang plans to take a three-day break before heading to Shangzhou. He hopes to reach Shengzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the capital city.”
Qi Yuning said softly: "I didn't want you to take a cold bath."
Lu Ze's eyes lit up, and the fatigue of the past few days of fighting seemed to be gone at this moment.
The princess's mansion was built for more than ten years. This wing is extremely luxurious. Even the bed is carved from fine golden nanmu. When Qi Yuning made this bed, he hired a famous brand from Chang'an. Old carpenter.
The carpenter thought she was making a bed for her dowry. After a lot of effort, he found that the top of the bed was carved with a hundred sons playing, and the two sides were carved with lotus flowers.
Outside, it was getting dark, and there were two bright red candles placed in the house, like wedding candles.
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "Aren't you waiting to get married?"
Qi Yuning said: "I always encounter trouble before I get married, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today we will worship heaven and earth here to get married, okay?"
Lu Ze said: "This will wrong you."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I don't feel wronged."
Qi Yuning pulled Lu Ze out of bed and found the maid outside to bring him a jug and two wine glasses to drink the wine.
After Qi Yuning poured the wine into the glass, he gave Lu Ze one glass, raised another glass and said, "Do you remember the old Taoist priest at the beginning of the year? He said that as long as it is a wedding day, it is auspicious. Today we will capture the city of Chang'an , is an auspicious day."
Lu Ze took the wine glass handed over by Qi Yuning, put his arm around Qi Yuning's, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and drank the wine in the glass with a slightly flushed face. He was nervous but also hopeful...
After Qi Yuning went to bed, she felt dizzy and fell directly into Lu Ze's arms. Seeing Qi Yuning fall asleep, Lu Ze shouted: "Ning Ning?"
After a while, Lu Ze also felt dizzy and fell on the bed.
In the guest courtyard of the princess's mansion.
When Zhong Ding saw the maid coming to report to Qi Yuan that the princess had taken the medicine and fell asleep, he asked curiously: "Why did the prince give the princess the drug?"
Qi Yu'an said: "There is nothing good in drinking late at night. She has been tired for several days and should have a good rest."
Zhong Ding smiled and said: "My lord, if you want to rush to Shengjing before the Mid-Autumn Festival, are you being too aggressive?"
Qi Yuan looked at Beicheng and said, "I want to see A Ping and my child as soon as possible."
A Ping has always been delicate, but when she was most uncomfortable, he was not by her side...
Zhong Ding also knew that Qi Yuan was eager to return, so he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, according to the reports from Prince Ning and Prince Liao's spies, Prince Ning's troops have been completely wiped out, and Prince Liao is entrenched in a corner of Liaozhou. , it is no longer a serious problem. Have you ever thought about who you want to support to rise to power?
It is said that there is no clear master in the Zhao royal family, and the remaining merchants of the Jin Dynasty are too profit-oriented to be king.
King Xu liked romance, and even though he had recruited a wave of literati, he always valued literature over martial arts, so he might not be able to be a wise king.
If we support King Shou, King Shou's kindness may be able to tolerate the overwhelming power of our Qi family army in Beicheng. "
Zhong Ming said: "King Shou is too kind, and it is not suitable for a person who is too kind to be an emperor, but it is true that no matter which prince or new emperor comes to the throne, our Qi family army will be jealous." Zhu Feng also said: "Your Majesty, I think Brother Zhong, what Brother Zhong said makes sense. Instead of being afraid of our Qi family army when the new emperor comes to power in the future, it would be better for our Qi family army to become the masters of the world. You married the princess of the Zhao family. Now that Aping has given birth to the Zhao family, you will also You can justifiably seize the country and become the master of the world!"
Zhu Yang glanced at his younger brother, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my younger brother is right. After a hundred years of Emperor Shi Yuan, no matter which new emperor of the Zhao family ascends the throne, he will regard our Qi family army as a thorn in their side. It's better for you to seize the throne." , we respect you as emperor."
Qi Yu'an frowned and rebuked angrily: "It's best if you don't say this kind of thing in the future. The Qi family has always been loyal and will never be a villain who changes the government and usurps the throne!"
Zhong Ding said: "Your Majesty, we are just protecting ourselves. Although Emperor Shi Yuan was very good to our Qi family army, if he really was very good to us, he would not promote the Qin family like this. Isn't it because he was afraid that the prince would be a hidden danger to our Qi family army in the future? ? If Emperor Shi Yuan is like this, the new emperor will never let us go!"
Zhu Yang said: "We have sacrificed so many brothers, and our sacrifices cannot be in vain. Your Majesty, as long as you give the order, our brothers will help you ascend the throne and become the emperor!"
Qi Yuan frowned and said, "It's late at night, you can all go!"
……
When Qi Yuning woke up, it was already midnight the next day. When she woke up, she felt that her hands were numb. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ze beside her. Her movement also woke Lu Ze up.
When Lu Ze woke up, he said, "Someone slipped something into the wine last night."
Qi Yuning said: "Who dares to put something in my wine in the princess's mansion?"
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "The only person who dares is Brother Qi."
Qi Yuning didn't say much. He found a maid to help her wash up, and then went to Qi Yuan's study with Lu Ze, who was wearing a wig.
Qi Yu'an saw Qi Yuning coming and said, "Sister, you're awake. How did you sleep last night?"
Qi Yuning gritted his teeth and said, "Thanks to you, I had the best sleep since I left Beicheng."
Qi Yu'an chuckled and said: "By the way, King Ning is gone. King Liao is now entrenched in the Liaozhou area. Next, Shangzhou City and Gyeonggi Province will also be a hard nut to crack, but we still have to think about our After conquering Shengjing, who will you support to ascend the throne?"
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Qi Yuning said to Qi Yu'an: "Lingling said that in the future, Duke Duan will be the emperor."
Qi Yuan frowned and said, "Prince Duan? He is still a four or five-year-old child, right?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
Qi Yu'an said: "King Shou, King Xu, and King Jin are still in the capital. We cannot support Duke Duan to inherit the throne."
Letting a child ascend the throne as emperor will inevitably be said to be using the child as a puppet emperor.
Lu Ze said: "There is no rush in all this. It should be decided by His Majesty."
Qi Yu'an took a deep look at Lu Zedao and said, "That's what you said. It's up to His Majesty to decide."
Qi Yuning had never visited the princess's mansion before. After finally finding half a day to spare, she and Lu Ze walked around the princess's mansion. When they walked behind a rockery, they heard Zhu Yang, Zhu Feng and Zhong Ding. conversation.
"Your Majesty, it's true. Is there anyone more suitable to be emperor than him now?"
"No matter who the new emperor is, our troops in Beicheng can hit Shengjing City this time. Will the new emperor be unprepared in the future?"
"The prince is also marrying a princess of the Zhao family. In the future, he will be named the prince of the Zhao family... It is not considered disloyal to the Zhao family. The prince ascended the throne just to protect himself."
When Qi Yuning heard this, he thought that they were really brave. The hands intertwined with Lu Ze suddenly tightened, and Qi Yuning raised his eyes to look at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze looked down at Qi Yuning and said, "Yuning, do you want to be a princess?"
