Liu Mingzhi habitually walked towards Qi Ya's courtyard in the inner courtyard, wanting her to help him bathe and change clothes. When he heard Liu Song's words, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Wanyan and junior brother are looking for me?"
"Yes, the two distinguished guests asked Miss Yue'er to tell you that the young master asked you to come over when you are back."
"Did they say they had anything to do with me?"
"No, I don't know. Little Miss Yue'er told me and then went to have fun."
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Okay, I understand. I'm going to take a shower and get rid of the smell of alcohol on my body before I leave. You can do your business first."
"Yes, I understand.
By the way, young master, if another invitation comes, will you continue as usual? "
Liu Mingzhi's eyes hesitated, and he looked at Liu Song thoughtfully: "Today is the thirteenth, right?"
"That's right, it's already February 13th. In more than ten days we should leave for the north. This is the day you planned, young master."
"Then I won't accept it. Just go to the remaining six invitations and go to appointments. Whose posts are these?"
"Prince Qing, Li Baihong, Minister of Dali Temple, Ye Hongliang, Yun Guang Bo, Zhao Kaihui, and the other three are Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and two heads of the Examination Department."
Liu Mingzhi, the name of the three in front, had a normal expression, while Liu Mingzhi, the name of the three in the back, shook his head and chuckled twice.
"This year is my last year as Minister of Temperance and Military Affairs and Assistant Minister of Household Affairs. It seems that these three people want to move their positions.
It seems that His Majesty has not announced Lao Jiang's return as Minister of Household Affairs yet, otherwise the person invited by these three people would have been Lao Jiang instead of this young master, the vassal king. "
"So, do you want to refuse?"
"Push? Why are you pushing? Little people have their own uses. Don't underestimate these little people. Sometimes a bite from them is much more painful than a bite from a third-grade or second-grade senior officer.
The higher a person's position is, the more things he considers and the more hesitant he is when doing things.
On the contrary, these little people will be willing to cut themselves off if they get anxious. If they offend them to death, they will inevitably cause a fuss.
Keep the appointment as usual. "
"Yes, I understand, I'm resigning."
Watching Liu Song's back disappearing into the courtyard, Liu Mingzhi's eyes were still filled with deep drunkenness, and his eyes became much clearer. He glanced towards the direction of the palace, turned around and hurried towards Qi Ya's courtyard.
About half an hour.
Young Master Liu changed into a clean Confucian robe, walked out of Qi Ya's room refreshed and rushed towards the wing next to the inner courtyard.
After taking a couple's bath, which they both fantasized about, Qi Ya, who was like a puddle of soft mud, was left lazily and coquettishly falling into sleep on the bed.
"To put it mildly, junior brother, what do you want from me?"
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
To avoid catching the two women playing some female game, Liu Dashao spoke from a distance to remind him of his arrival.
However, Young Master Liu is destined to overthink.
The door opened in response, and the aroma of tea overflowed as you stepped into the room, refreshing your nose.
The Queen nodded slightly to Mr. Liu, sat back on her chair and played with the tea cup. Opposite her, Hu Yanjunyao was holding a cup of fragrant tea and tasting it carefully.
Liu Mingzhi straightened his clothes and sat down on a chair beside him curiously.
"What? The so-called urgent matter is to find me to come and have tea with you?"
The Queen placed a cup of carefully cooked fragrant tea in front of Young Master Liu: "You have been missing these days, what have you been doing?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and blew it gently twice: "What can you do, besides going to the banquet? With your methods, you will not be able to find out whereabouts of my young master these days, so why bother."
The Queen was startled and shook her head helplessly: "You are so blatantly close to the officials in the capital, so you are not afraid..."
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea, crossed his legs and glanced at the two empresses: "Why, are you worried about me?"
"No, it's just curiosity.
Being able to sit in this seat means that you are not clear about your current situation, so I and the little goblin are a little curious about what you, the great vassal king, think.
This is so different from your past behavior that it's surprising.
It's just a casual thing. If you don't want to say it, forget it.
I and the goblin came to you for other reasons. "
Liu Mingzhi paused while tasting the tea, frowned slightly, and swallowed the warm tea tree like a cow chewing peonies with a disappointed look.
Putting the cup in front of the queen again, Liu Mingzhi remained silent for a moment.
"You're leaving, right? Have you set a date?"
Huyan Yunyao was startled when she was drinking tea, and the empress who was about to refill Young Master Liu's tea also trembled slightly.
They knew that Liu Mingzhi would guess their intention of calling him here, but they didn't expect to guess it so quickly, as if they had gotten the news.
"Yes, it's time to leave for home, tomorrow morning."
"So fast?"
"There is no way, the state affairs are important. I and the little goblin, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom and the Turkic Khan, hurriedly entered Dalong. Because of the heavy snow, they did not make it back in time last year. People in the court were already panicked.
More importantly, I have accumulated a lot of government affairs that I need to go back to deal with.
The spies came to tell us that the snow in the north has melted and the roads are clear. So there is no need for us to stay in Liu Mansion for a long time. It is time to set off back to China.
We are kings, how can we ignore the common people, the country and the country, and live a carefree life here where our children love each other. "
Although Huyan Yunyao didn't say anything, she nodded in agreement. It was obvious that the Queen's intention was also hers.
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to take the teacup handed over by the Queen again, and nodded with an inexplicable expression on his face.
"I'm afraid it's more than that. You returned so suddenly. Maybe you already know the news that His Majesty is preparing to leave north in a big way, right?
It seems that the hidden stakes you have planted in the court are far more than what I saw.
The imperial court has just begun to formulate strategic guidelines, and you have already received the news. It is expected that these hidden stakes have some status in the imperial court. "
The queen, Huyan Yunyao, and their delicate bodies trembled slightly, their eyebrows furrowed, and they looked at each other silently. They saw the uneasy look deep in the other's eyes.
Invariably, they turned their eyes to Young Master Liu, who was holding up the tea cup, savoring it carefully, and reviewing the aroma of the tea. The Queen and the Queen felt bitter in their hearts. Is this guy a roundworm in their stomachs? How come you know everything so clearly.
Will he snitch? He revealed to the court that the two of them already knew about Dalong's use of troops against the two countries, and asked the Northern Expedition army to act cautiously and not to be careless.
According to Liu Mingzhi's consistent style, he will definitely disclose this matter to the court.
After all, in private, he only treats his sisters in private. When it comes to official matters, he always handles business affairs, and there is absolutely no selfishness at all.
It can't be said that he doesn't have it, it's just that his selfish motives are hard to understand and people can't figure out what he wants to do.
After Liu Mingzhi tasted the tea in the cup, he held the colorful glazed fine porcelain Xiangyun Cup in front of his eyes and played with it slowly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell the truth!"
The two women were stunned again and looked at Young Master Liu with some confusion. Does this guy really know everything?
It seemed that he knew everything about the two of them.
"Don't think too much about it, you two. I won't tell the truth not because you are my woman and my fellow disciples, but because you will lay hidden secrets for the court, and the court will also place people around you.
This has long been an unwritten rule, isn't it?
Polite! "
"ah?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the queen who was slightly startled and her lips were slightly parted, and he smiled and shook his head.
"Do you remember what I told you?"
"Too much, which sentence?"
Huyan Yunyao also looked at Young Master Liu curiously, wanting to know what his senior brother said.
“The eyes can be deceiving.
Sometimes even if you see it with your own eyes..."
"That may not be true!"
