Tuoba Lie looked up at Duan Yunyi.
He had no doubt that this was the most exciting woman in the world.
Although there are all kinds of beautiful women in the world, there is only one who can possess such the majesty of an emperor.
But now, she looked slightly shy, and even his old bones couldn't help but feel excited.
He seemed to understand why Liang Xiao was her "loved Qing" while the other courtiers were just "Qings".
"She really loves Liang Xiao..."
In the face of the desire to survive, Tuoba Lie remained calm and nodded repeatedly.
"I understand! The future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been chosen!"
Duan Yunyi did not deny it.
It was Duan Yunxiu who strongly suggested that she "act" to this old fox, so that Tuoba Lie could understand the weight of Liang Xiao and not dare to offend Liang Xiao.
The emperor meant what he said, so of course she had to be careful with her words and deeds to avoid being true to her words.
Just let Tuoba Lie figure it out on his own.
Seeing that Duan Yunyi did not deny it, Tuoba Lie's heart sank, and he quickly said: "I am willing to fully support Marquis Lanling. After all, Marquis Lanling is the future pillar of the country..."
Duan Yunyi said: "In addition to the one million taels of silver you promised to donate, I hope you can treat Liang Aiqing with sincerity. In this way, both parties will have a chance to resolve their old feud, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Tuoba Lie nodded repeatedly, excited.
If the current Tuoba clan cannot be reused by the emperor again, it will only become more and more declining.
Run away? The family's valuable real estate and the gold and silver in the treasury have been targeted by the court and are not allowed to be bought and sold casually.
Now, he can only seek support from Liang Xiao.
Tuoba Lie returned home, extremely worried.
"Liang Xiao, this son, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I don't know what he will do to me. I just hope that he won't push the envelope..."
An inexplicable feeling of fear surged into his heart, making Tuoba Lie restless.
This young poet who suddenly appeared out of nowhere made their father and son more afraid than Zhuge Hui.
Especially after Liang Xiao's subordinate Lei Hong captured Tuoba Jie, he was not so much afraid as he was heartbroken.
This Liang Xiao is clearly his nemesis!
Liang Xiao is waiting at home.
Duan Yunxiu sat on Liang Xiao's lap, watching him write poetry, his eyes moved, and a pair of dimples appeared on his crimson face.
Liang Xiao has recently written several poems for her that will be published in the future, and he has given them to her and Mu Qinxue for safekeeping.
In addition, Liang Xiao would occasionally draw some pictures for her and ask her to pass them on to her sister.
They are all reforms in weapons.
Duan Yunxiu only felt that the days with Liang Xiao were becoming more and more comfortable.
Liang Xiao takes great care of himself, and he feels like "holding it in your hand for fear of falling off, holding it in your mouth for fear of melting".
Duan Yunxiu knew that this was the feeling of love.
He seemed guilty for not giving her a wedding first.
Duan Yunxiu said softly: "Brother Xiao, I am very happy now."
"Is that girl willing to grow old together with Xiaosheng?" Liang Xiao looked sincere.
Duan Yunxiu pursed his lips and smiled, kissed him on the face, and then nodded gently.
"Hmm~"
Liang Xiao was satisfied and laughed.
Jiang Fuxue sat aside, looking at the two of them making love to each other, and she also felt happy.
This sister-in-law was very kind to her, even better than her own sister.
It would be great if every sister-in-law could be as worry-free as her.
A quarter of an hour later, Xuanwei sent another urgent message, informing him of Tuoba Lie's situation.
"Master Hou, Tuoba Lie has sent a family member to apologize. I hope Master Hou can be more considerate in the future!"
Liang Xiao immediately handed an invitation to Xuan Wei.
"Be sure to send the invitation to Tuoba Lie, otherwise Tuoba Lie won't give it to him, lest he find an opportunity to ask someone to take his place."
After Xuan Wei left, Liang Xiao asked Duan Yunxiu to accompany Jiang Fuxue while he prepared the banquet himself.
Inside the Tuoba family's mansion.
As Liang Xiao expected, when Xuanwei sent the invitation, one of Tuoba Lie's nephews came to pick it up. He only said that Tuoba Lie was not feeling well today and asked him to attend instead.
Xuanwei said solemnly: "My Lord Marquis said that your family master, Tuoba Lie, must accept it personally. This is his sincere invitation!"
When Tuoba Lie heard the news, he had to come forward to accept the invitation. He took a look at it and handed it over with a smile.
"It turns out that it was Marquis Lanling who extended a warm invitation. It's hard to refuse such kindness. It's hard to refuse such kindness!"
Xuanwei asked: "What do you mean?"
Tuoba Lie said with a grateful face: "Please report back to Marquis Lanling, I will definitely attend the banquet on time!"
In the afternoon, Tuoba Lie's luxurious carriage stopped at Liang Mansion, attracting people's attention.
Almost all the Guanlong nobles in the inn looked displeased and were wary.
"Why did he invite Tuoba Lie to the banquet?" Wang Pojun frowned.
Chang Polang's face didn't look good either.
They had already received information that his sworn brother Long Wushuang had led a long-distance attack to kill Liang Xiao, but in the end he returned without success.
This matter made them quite embarrassed.
After all, Long Wushuang is currently a remnant of the previous dynasty as defined by the Great Zhou court.
The Guanlong nobles still had illusions about the Zhou Dynasty.
But now, Liang Xiao invites the head of the big family to a banquet...
"Lin Shi, tell me, what does Marquis Lanling mean? Is he really planning to reconcile with these aristocratic families and then join in the trouble?" Chang Polang couldn't sit still.
Lin Shi, who was admiring the snow falling outside the window, responded calmly: "You have read the recent newspapers, right? You know the Hongmen Banquet in "The Conflict between Chu and Han", right?"
Wang Pojun said: "I know! After the Qin Dynasty, there was a struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony... Why does it look real to me?"
"This Marquis of Lanling is a great talent, but what does it have to do with the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony?" Chang Polang asked.
Lin Shi thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, Marquis Lanling's invitation to Tuoba Lie to attend the banquet was just a Hongmen Banquet."
If everyone realizes something.
"Then what's the point of inviting him to the banquet?" Another member of the Guanlong nobles present asked curiously.
Lin Shi burst into laughter.
"I don't know either!"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"This kid must know, he's just hiding it!" Wang Pojun scolded with a smile.
Lin Shi curled his lips and said, "I really don't know. Is it to divide the family, or is it for other purposes?"
Everyone was thoughtful.
"It's a good way to divide the family!"
In the lobby of Lanlinghou Mansion, there was a banquet table and people drinking wine.
Tuoba Lie, who was toasting Liang Xiao, was filled with anxiety.
In addition to him and Liang Xiao, the attendees also included Mu Ping, Minister of Industry Yang Ling, Zhuge Cheng, and Sima Ling, a Xuanwei commander appointed by Duan Yunyi.
These few people were invited here by Liang Xiao as peacemakers.
As the commander of Xuanwei, Sima Ling rarely appeared in front of people.
Only female Xuanwei like Feiyun need to personally protect the Empress sisters.
"Master Tuoba, have a drink!"
Yang Ling smiled from ear to ear and was also toasting Tuoba Lie.
Tuoba Lie responded with a smile and drank a glass of Yueming Wine, feeling confused in his heart.
Like Liang Xiao, these people looked very happy.
As soon as he entered the house, he apologized to Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao just lightly revealed the past events and invited him to take a seat.
Now Tuoba Lie can't figure out what kind of medicine Liang Xiao sells in his gourd.
