On June 18, the sixth year of Dalong's reign, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
In the Tianzi private room on the fifth floor of Penglai Restaurant, Liu Mingzhi, Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen and the other sisters were sitting on chairs talking and laughing, waiting for something.
After about two sticks of incense had passed, Liu Mingzhi watched the beauties still gathering around Qinglian and discussing something softly, and silently stood up and walked to the window sill.
Looking down at the pedestrians walking on the street thoughtfully, Liu Mingzhi's eyes revealed the look of memories, as if he was nostalgic for some unforgettable past event.
As for what exactly he is recalling, only Mr. Liu himself knows best.
Young Master Liu just stood quietly in front of the window sill, wandering in his thoughts, as if he had ignored the passage of time.
I don't know how much time passed, but a sudden knock on the door brought the absent-minded Liu Mingzhi back to his senses. It also made the soft-spoken beauties stop talking and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door.
"Young Master, Xie Qingtong, the head of the Xie family, and Mrs. Xie, as well as Xie Yun, the son of the Xie family, are here."
Young Master Liu glanced slightly at the door of Penglai Restaurant, still standing behind the window sill without any intention of turning around to greet the guests.
"please."
"Xiaosong understands."
"Sister Lian'er, our future in-laws are finally here."
"Oh, Sister Shan'er, what you said is a bit too decisive. Who can say for sure whether the marriage between the two children will eventually come true?"
"That's true. My sister is too quick to talk. It's better to meet someone first before talking about it."
"Sisters, do you think this is mainly because Xie Jiajia knows the identity of our bad husband? What kind of reaction will it have?"
"Maybe you will be shocked, right? But after all, I am the head of the family, so I shouldn't be too panicked."
"That's right, the Xie family is also one of the famous families in Xiangzhou. As the head of a famous family, Xie Qingtong is somewhat knowledgeable, so he shouldn't be so scared that he can't speak."
"That's hard to say. After all, the person he wants to meet is our bad husband."
"Xiaoxi seconded Sister Qingshi's words. Even if Xie Qingtong won't be frightened and panicked, he will definitely be shocked. After all, our bad husband is the king of a country."
"Husband, did you hear what my sisters said? The guests will be here soon, why don't you hurry up and sit down."
"Yes, that's right. No matter how much you are the king of a country, you should also take care of other people's faces, right?"
When Young Master Liu heard the greetings from sisters Qi Yun and Huyan Yunyao, instead of turning around and walking over to sit down, he silently took off the dry tobacco bag from his waist and filled it with shredded tobacco.
After a while, Mr. Liu stood firmly in front of the window, holding the pipe with smoke rising in his hand and puffing on it carefully.
Qi Yun, Qi Ya and the other sisters looked at each other for a few times, staring at the back of Young Master Liu in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
The knock on the door sounded again, followed by Xiao Wu's voice.
"Master, ladies and gentlemen, the distinguished guest has arrived."
Liu Mingzhi moved his neck subtly and blew out the smoke in his mouth, but still did not reply.
Seeing this, Qi Yun silently retracted her gaze from her husband. After sitting upright with an elegant demeanor, she turned to look at the door of the private room and coughed lightly.
When all the beauties heard Qi Yun's cough, they straightened their postures one after another.
"please."
"yes."
"Thank you, master, thank you, madam, thank you, sir. My master is waiting for your arrival in the room, please."
"Good work."
The door of the private room opened in response, and a middle-aged man about forty years old came into the sight of Qi Yun and the other sisters.
If nothing else, this middle-aged man should be Xie Qingtong, the head of the Xie family.
However, when they saw Xie Qingtong's appearance clearly, the beautiful eyes of Qi Yun and the other sisters showed a look of astonishment.
Because Xie Qingtong actually limped into the room with two crutches in his hands.
Behind her were a plump and beautiful woman who was similar in age to her sisters and others, and a young man who was about twenty years old, handsome and personable.
The identity of the two people must be Mrs. Xie and Xie Yun, the son of Xie's parents. There is no doubt that they are mother and son.
Behind Xie Yun were two servants holding gift boxes. As soon as they entered the private room, the two servants nodded and stared at the gift boxes in their hands without daring to look around.
After Xie Qingtong saw a dozen charming beauties sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but be stunned. I secretly wondered why they were all from women's families, so why didn't they meet their future father-in-law?
Xie Qingtong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately saluted after he realized what he was doing.
"Xie Qingtong of the Xie family in Xiangzhou has met all of you, Mrs. Liu, and is polite."
Mrs. Xie moved lightly and stopped beside Xie Qingtong. When she saw Qi Yun and the other sisters sitting on the chairs, she was also stunned for a moment, and then she bowed gracefully.
"Mrs. Xie Meng Li has met all the ladies, so you are polite."
"Junior Xie Yun meets all elders. Please be safe, all elders."
Qi Yun secretly glanced at her husband, who was still standing in front of the window and puffed away silently. A trace of hesitation flashed in his beautiful eyes before she stood up with a smile.
"There is no need to be polite. Thank you, Master, Madam, and Young Master, three distinguished guests for coming here. I, my sister, have come to welcome you from afar, so I hope you don't mind."
"Don't dare, it's me and the other three who are causing trouble."
The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and Qi Yun once again secretly glanced at her husband.
Seeing that Young Master Liu was still standing in front of the window as steady as a rock, with no intention of turning around to greet the guests, Qi Yun couldn't help but feel helpless in her beautiful eyes.
Xie Qingtong seemed to notice that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. Seeing that Qi Yun didn't answer, he glanced around the room without leaving any trace.
When he saw the back of Young Master Liu standing in front of the window, Xie Qingtong, who had a slightly sloppy figure, suddenly trembled and instinctively straightened his waist.
After staring at Young Master Liu's back carefully for a moment, Xie Qingtong's eyes showed a complex mixture of surprise and doubt.
Watching Young Master Liu's back quietly, Xie Qingtong kept slurping his lips, almost wanting to say something, but finally did not take the initiative to speak.
While Xie Qingtong was hesitating, Liu Dashao, who was standing in front of the window and slowly put down the cigarette in his hand, spoke.
"Qingtong, you stupid bastard gave birth to a good son! You actually deceived all my good daughters. What do you think you deserve?"
Two muffled clangs broke the strange atmosphere in the room. It turned out that the two crutches in Xie Qingtong's hands hit the floor without warning.
Xie Qingtong ignored the two crutches that fell on the floor, looked at Mr. Liu with trembling lips, who turned around silently, his eyes reddish, and knelt on the carpet with one knee, staring closely at him with a calm expression. Young Master Liu.
"Da... marshal, is it really you?"
Young Master Liu slid his throat silently twice, looking sadly at Xie Qingtong who was kneeling on the ground with an excited expression.
"What? You stared at my back for so long and didn't even recognize me?"
"The general recognized it, recognized it.
But I haven't seen the commander in person for so many years, and the general is afraid that he has recognized the wrong person, so he doesn't dare to greet him easily, for fear of insulting the commander's reputation!
Therefore, before the identity of the commander is confirmed, the general will not dare to greet him easily and hopes that the commander will forgive him.
The last general, Fei Yingwei, is chasing the deer camp, and the former camp general, Zhonglang General Xie Qingtong, is meeting with the commander... No, no, no, I'm meeting with your Majesty, long live, long live, long live. "
Mrs. Xie, Xie Yun, mother and son stared blankly at Xie Qingtong, who was kneeling on the ground to salute Liu Dashan. They were stunned for a moment and then hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"My concubine Xie Meng Li is here to see your Majesty. Long live my emperor."
"Caomin Xie Yun, see your majesty, long live my emperor."
