After Liu Mingzhi returned to the study, he casually glanced at the dressing table. His wife, Qi Yun, was holding a makeup pen and smearing something on Ren Qingrui's pretty face.
Young Master Liu, who knew nothing about light makeup and heavy makeup, glanced at you for a few times before retracting his gaze and walked towards the cabinet in Qi Yun's boudoir where the four treasures of the study were stored.
During a pause, Liu Mingzhi took out the Four Treasures of the Study from the cabinet and placed them on the desk. He moved the tea set aside and then dipped his hands in water to grind the ink.
Young Master Liu, who was preparing the ink, did not notice that at some point the bead curtain on one side had quietly been lowered, and the curtain blocking the view also rippled gently.
There was a slight rustling of clothes being changed from behind the screen.
After Liu Mingzhi dipped his pen in ink, he sat in silence for a long time without writing.
Gently putting down the pen in his hand, Liu Mingzhi walked lightly in the room.
After wandering for a while, Liu Mingzhi sat back on his chair, picked up his pen and began to write gently on the rice paper pressed by the paperweight.
After about half a stick of incense, Liu Mingzhi looked at the dozens of letters written by himself in front of him, took out his seal from his sleeve and gently stamped it.
Then he wrote more than ten names on the envelope one by one, and then put them one by one into the envelope in order.
When Young Master Liu put the last letter into the envelope, the bead curtain sounded.
The sound mixed with footsteps reached Young Master Liu's ears.
"Husband, I help little... little sister Hua get ready."
Qi Yun understood in her heart how a beautiful lady like Ren Qingrui, who was beautiful and had a noble temperament, and who looked like she came from an official or wealthy family, could have such a name full of country atmosphere.
However, her husband called her that, and he didn't know the real name of the beautiful woman, so he had no choice but to call her that.
Although it is a bit difficult to pronounce, it is better than calling it nothing.
Liu Mingzhi heard his wife's voice and looked around.
I saw Ren Qingrui standing timidly next to Qi Yun, wearing a Confucian shirt and a turban on his head. His delicate and moist skin was made slightly rough by unknown methods Qi Yun used.
He held a volume of books in his slender right hand.
At first glance, dressed like this, he looks like a handsome young man with outstanding temperament and a wealthy family.
Young masters from the wealthy Dalong family also dress up in makeup. This is how Ying'er served her back then, but she was always rejected with various excuses.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui carefully and nodded with satisfaction.
"It shouldn't be a problem to enter Beijing if you dress up like this. Just say a word in a high voice."
"Uh-huh, brother, little brother Ren Meng'an is polite."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly: "It's better to work together. It shouldn't be a problem if you practice more. You go and wait outside the door first. I'll explain something to your sister-in-law."
"Okay, Daguo...yes, brother, I'm waiting outside the door."
Ren Qingrui walked obediently towards the door and closed the door with great discernment.
Qi Yun walked to her husband's side with light steps, tapped her green and white jade fingers on Young Master Liu's forehead, and stared at her husband with a coquettish expression.
"Smelly husband, where did you hook up with such a gorgeous beauty? Judging from the tone of your words, it's obvious that we have been together for a long time. The sisters were stunned and didn't hear any movement. You are hiding it secretly enough. Yes!"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head with a wry smile, raised his hand and held Qi Yun's wrist, pulled her into his arms and sat down.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not what you think.
The origin of this girl is too bizarre and twists and turns. Even for her husband, there are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved, so I don't know how to explain it to you. "
"Is she really not your new little sister?"
"really not.
Before we got married, Ying'er was only 2816 years old. As her husband's personal maid, he didn't even touch her.
We got married for more than a year before we wanted her clean body.
This girl is only 28 or 29 years old now, and her husband is now in his early thirties. How could he find such a young and beautiful girl to ruin his life for the rest of his life.
She is a few years older than our eldest daughter Yiyi, and her husband really doesn’t have those extravagant thoughts. "
Qi Yun smiled and pecked her husband's face, leaving two faint lip marks.
"I am in my early thirties, I should have made arrangements for you to take a concubine.
But now that there are so many sisters, how can I help you take a concubine into a room if you ask me to do so?
It's not that I'm jealous, but that I'm afraid that you'll overindulge in sex and your body won't be able to bear it.
However, if the husband really wants to take a concubine, he has to step in to check it. After passing the concubine's check, he can enter our Liu family's door! "
"No, don't treat your husband according to the wifely etiquette taught to you by your mother-in-law. Now that your husband has no time to spend on women, you don't do bad things to your good intentions."
Qi Yun looked at her husband's somewhat sad face and gently put her head on her husband's shoulder.
"Sister Xiaohua was here just now, so I didn't dare to ask you.
What's going on in Beijing?
Now that the Northern Expedition is in full swing, the mobilization of grain and grass in the capital, and then transporting it to the hands of soldiers outside the pass, are all indispensable without the supervision and coordination of you, the side by side king.
Why would His Majesty summon you to the capital in such an urgent situation?
After you enter Beijing, if something goes wrong during the Northern Expedition and you are not in Northern Xinjiang, and something goes wrong then, who will be responsible for it? "
The worried look in Qi Yunmei's eyes was all seen by Liu Mingzhi.
He raised his hand and gently tickled the beauty's nose: "Don't think too much, the Northern Expedition army is going strong all the way, and the possibility of problems is extremely slim.
Your Majesty summoned me to Beijing because something difficult to decide may have happened and you need to discuss it with me.
Don't worry. "
"But...husband, to be on the safe side, let's wait until there are some signs of the Northern Expedition.
The late Emperor gave you the right to listen to orders but not to declare. You can definitely find an excuse to shirk it.
It can not only stabilize oneself, but also maintain the face of the court. "
"Listen to the tune but not the announcement... Alas... this moment, that moment.
Yun'er, there are some things you don't understand.
Your Majesty summons you urgently, this husband must enter the capital. "
"I always feel..."
"Yun'er, I've made up my mind about my husband, don't try to persuade me."
Seeing Qi Yun's helpless expression, Liu Mingzhi coaxed her with sweet words for a while, then reached out and picked up the dozen letters he had just written and put them in Qi Yun's hands.
"Madam, these letters are from you, Sister Ya, Shan'er, Qingshi, Wei'er, Xiaoxi, and Chengzhi and his three brothers.
The eldest brother Song Qing's, as well as Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and others.
The husband has already signed the name to whom it should be addressed.
My husband... my husband... my husband will keep writing to the family. After my husband leaves, this family will have to worry about you again.
If you encounter a difficult situation, just use the majesty of your princess to deal with it. "
Qi Yun stared blankly at the stack of letters in her hand, and she suddenly felt something bad.
Looking blankly at her husband, who looked like he was explaining his affairs, Qi Yun's eyes gradually condensed with mist, and her lips trembled slightly as she looked at Young Master Liu.
"Husband...husband...you...don't scare me!"
"Silly lady, don't think so wildly. It's the right time to marry your husband, how could it be what you think.
The content of the letter is that I will tell you some emergency measures after major events occur in Northern Xinjiang. As long as you act according to your husband's instructions, Northern Xinjiang will be safe and sound. "
Qi Yun looked at her husband's helpless expression with suspicion: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! Silly lady, don't worry. I have assisted my husband for three generations of emperors, and my husband single-handedly supported me today. With such a great favor, how could my husband be in danger?"
As Liu Mingzhi talked, he carried Qi Yun and walked towards the bed.
"Your Majesty has urgently summoned you to the capital. Since it is an urgent summons, my husband cannot delay.
You go to bed early and wait obediently for your husband to come back from the capital. "
"Husband...husband, I am waiting for you to come back!"
Liu Mingzhi tucked Qi Yun into a quilt and kissed her forehead.
"Go to bed early. Being a husband is only half a step into the innate realm!"
Qi Yun sighed silently, and her beautiful eyes trembled and slowly closed.
Liu Mingzhi packed some changes of clothes and put them in his bag, blew out the candles, and walked out the door.
"Brother...brother, you've finished talking to Madam-in-law!"
"Well, just wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I go, and then we'll be on our way!"
"I'm waiting for you, little brother."
Liu Mingzhi nodded and hurried towards Qi Ya's courtyard.
"Sister Ya, are you asleep?"
"Husband, I'm already lying down. The door is open. Come in. I'll hold the lamp for you."
Liu Mingzhi pushed the door open and walked in. When he heard Qi Ya getting up, he turned around and looked over: "No, I have something that I want to leave here for you to keep! You can just pack it up when it gets up. Over there, I will If you still have something to do, don't get up, as your husband can't stay for long."
"Okay, then I won't get up."
The room was filled with bright moonlight, making it not too dark.
Liu Mingzhi took out his dragon seal and gently placed it on the table, lifted the tablecloth and covered it, and then slowly exited Qi Ya's boudoir.
Half a stick of incense.
Young Master Liu, Ren Qingrui, and Liu Song appeared at the back door of the palace.
Liu Song looked at Young Master Liu worriedly.
"Master, let's summon some personal guards to follow!"
"No need, I dress lightly and simply, no one knows who I am, and it's not beautiful to make a big show of it!"
"That's...okay!"
Young Master Liu helplessly looked at Ren Qingrui, who was stumbling around the horse but never got on it.
"Brother Ren, can you ride a horse?"
Ren Qingrui looked at Young Master Liu who had been waiting for a long time on his horse with a blushing face, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Yes... yes!"
"What does it mean to be able to do it? Are you able to do it or not?"
"Ride...Ride."
"How many years have you been riding?"
"twice!"
"Well, it's been two years. The problem shouldn't be...what...what...you say it again."
“Ride it twice!”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui, who lowered his head and clasped his fingers, looking aggrieved, and sighed helplessly.
Not bothering to care about the common etiquette of not being intimate between men and women, he reached out and grabbed Ren Qingrui's shoulder, lifted it slightly with force, and pushed him into his arms amidst his thin screams.
He whipped the other horse on the buttocks and saw its hooves galloping. Then he pulled the reins and galloped towards the city gate.
"Daguoguo, you know whether men and women are kissing each other or not!"
"Shut up and either go back home or stay quiet!
You are not much older than my daughter. Don't think so wildly. Your father and I are about the same age.
Just think of me as your uncle. "
"I...I...I choose to go to Beijing to find this old man, grandma!"
"Then just sit tight."
Liu Mingzhi and his two men walked out of the city gate easily. The two of them faced the stars in the sky and galloped on the official road.
Rushing to the capital at starry night.
