The sun sets in the west.
The clouds disappear and the rain stops.
Liu Mingzhi tied the jade belt around his waist and walked slowly towards the main hall.
He casually put the towel in his hand on the chair, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of herbal tea.
"Jie'er."
"Hey, what's wrong?"
After hearing Chen Jie's response, Young Master Liu nodded, took a sip of tea, and turned to look at the beautiful lady who was sitting in front of the dressing table dressing up after taking a bath.
"Jie'er, my husband is going to Shu this time, and we haven't seen each other for a long time.
My husband just came back from Shu today. It’s time for our family to get together and have a good reunion dinner.
Before my husband came to your place, I had asked Yun'er to arrange a family dinner.
Judging from the time, the family dinner should be almost ready by now.
After you put on your makeup later, let's go back together? "
Chen Jie took off the lip paper from her red lips, looked back at Young Master Liu and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I listen to you, we will go back after I finish putting on my makeup."
"Okay, then it's settled, Lian Niang's husband will send someone to inform her."
Chen Jie withdrew her gaze, reached out and picked up the hairpin on the table, and inserted it into her coiled hair in front of the mirror.
"Husband."
"Um?"
"Go to the closet and get me my green smoke silk coat. I'll put it on later."
"Okay, my husband knows.
By the way, in addition to outerwear, would you also like to change your underwear, undergarments and other underwear? "
"No need, I just took a bath and put on clean underwear."
"I understand, my husband will go get your coat right now."
Young Master Liu responded to the beauty, drank the herbal tea in the cup in one gulp, and walked to the wardrobe next to the bedside.
"Jie'er, are you talking about this light blue jade smoke dress?"
"Yes, that's the one."
Young Master Liu closed the wardrobe and walked to the dressing table with the green smoke dress Chen Jie mentioned.
Looking down at the beauty who was gently applying rouge and gouache on her charming and bright face, Young Master Liu happily crossed his arms in front of him.
Chen Jie seemed to feel Young Master Liu's gaze on her pretty face. She put down the powder box in her hand, looked up at Young Master Liu, and rolled her eyes in anger.
"Silly, why are you staring at me all the time?"
"Jie'er, what you said is that, husband, I've been staring at you, what else could I be looking at?
Of course I am looking at you, this stunning beauty. "
When Chen Jie heard Liu Dashao's unstinting words of praise, she felt both joy and sigh in her heart.
What makes me happy is naturally the words of praise from my sweetheart.
Now that he has reached the age where his beauty has faded, his husband can still pamper her as before.
As a woman, I can get such pampering.
For myself, this life is enough.
And the things that make me sigh are also because of my age.
Now, I am so many years older than the pillow person standing next to me who is looking at me tenderly.
At my own age, if I continue, how many more years can I stay with him?
Chen Jie looked at Young Master Liu with tender eyes, and gently beat the back of his hand with an angry look.
"Virtue means knowing how to say nice things to make me happy."
"Jie'er, as my husband, I didn't mean to say nice things to make you happy. What I said was all true."
Chen Jie raised her slender hand to take the green smoke dress from Young Master Liu's hand, and elegantly put it on her plump and graceful body.
She tied the ribbon around Liu's waist and reached out to hold Liu's hands.
"Husband."
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Chen Jie stared at Young Master Liu intently, with a trace of sadness in her beautiful eyes. She pursed her red lips and was silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh with her lips slightly opened.
"Alas~"
"No, Jie'er, why do you sigh when everything is going well?"
"Husband, I only sigh because I know in my heart that I am old.
In a few years, I will no longer be able to accompany you.
The most regrettable thing in life.
There is nothing better than a hero growing old and a beauty growing gray.
Sometimes I just think..."
Before Chen Jie could finish her words, Young Master Liu covered her red lips.
Young Master Liu slowly released his palms, put his hands around the beauty's waist, and gently embraced her into his arms.
"Okay Jie'er, let's not talk about these unhappy topics.
Our days are still long in the future, and we will take whatever step we take. "
Listening to Young Master Liu's solemn words, Chen Jie closed her eyes slightly, leaned on his shoulder and nodded her head several times.
"Well, I listen to you."
"Jie'er, it's getting late, we should go back to that home."
"Okay, go back, go back now."
Chen Jie left Young Master Liu's arms and quickly sorted out the rouge and gouache on the dressing table.
After a while, the beauty adjusted her clothes and looked at Young Master Liu with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Husband, let's go back."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, took out the folding fan from his waist, held Chen Jie's wrist and walked straight out of the room.
"Jie'er, before we go back, we have to go to Shu'er's place.
Our family's family dinner cannot forget Shu'er, Haoran and his wife. "
"Husband, sister Shu'er may not be in the princess mansion where Jingyao used to live."
"Huh? It doesn't have to be in the princess's mansion? Then where can she go?"
"Husband, during the time when you left the capital for Shu, Sister Shu'er would take Haoran to the East Palace to take care of Jingyao from time to time.
Husband, you also know that Jingyao is about to give birth.
Sister Shu'er, as the mother of Jingyao girl, how could she not be worried about her health?
Therefore, during these days, sister Shu'er rarely visited me as a guest, and spent most of her time in the East Palace.
Whether she is in the princess's mansion or taking care of Jingyao in the East Palace, her identity is not clear. "
When Young Master Liu heard Chen Jie's explanation, he nodded with a clear expression.
"My husband knows, let's go to Shu'er's place first.
If she is not at home, it means that she has most likely gone to the East Palace to take care of this girl Jingyao.
In this case, we will go home directly.
After we go back, my husband will send someone to the East Palace to inform Shuer and they will come back together for a reunion dinner. "
"Okay, that's all for now, just do what you said, husband."
Amidst Lao Gao's congratulations, Liu Dashao and Chen Jie left the prince's old mansion together.
After exiting the long street, the couple walked side by side, talking and laughing as they rushed to the princess mansion where He Shu currently lives.
Arriving all the way outside the princess's residence, Chen Jie looked sideways at Young Master Liu and nodded with a smile.
"Husband, I will knock on the door first."
"Well, go ahead."
Chen Jie casually lifted up the hem of her clothes and walked gently to the door of the mansion, knocking on the door gently a few times.
The door opened in response, and the old housekeeper of the Princess Mansion walked straight out of the door.
The old housekeeper saw Mr. and Mrs. Liu standing far away from the mansion and quickly bowed.
"Old slave, please see Mr. Liu and see the eldest lady."
"No gift."
"No gift."
"Thank you sir, thank you madam."
Chen Jie waited until the old housekeeper got up and asked softly: "Old housekeeper, is Sister Shu'er at home now? Or has she gone to the East Palace again?"
"Back to Madam, Madam, she took Young Master Haoran to the East Palace around three o'clock in the morning today, and she hasn't come back yet.
Judging from the weather, Madam, it won't be long before she returns home.
Sir and Madam, if you have something to do with Madam, please come and sit in the mansion first. "
"No, no, we came to see Sister Shu'er to have a reunion dinner together.
Since she hasn't come back yet, we won't sit in the mansion. "
"Yes, I understand."
"Old housekeeper."
"The old slave is here."
"I will send someone to inform Sister Shu'er to go back for the reunion dinner later. She may not come back to rest tonight.
So you don't have to worry about anything, just go to bed early. "
"Hey, I know this."
"Then let's go back first."
"Congratulations sir, congratulations madam."
Chen Jie walked up to Young Master Liu gracefully and shook her head with a regretful expression.
"Husband, unfortunately, sister Shu'er went to Jingyao's place today."
"Then let's go back."
"Why."
The couple glanced at the old housekeeper who was still standing outside the door, then turned and walked towards the long street where the lights were on.
Chen Jie turned her head and glanced at the street in front of her, where the lights were on and people were coming and going, a scene of peace and prosperity. Her beautiful eyes looked towards Young Master Liu with a look of pride on her pretty face.
"Husband."
"Um?"
"I want to ask you a question, looking at this unparalleled picture of prosperity and peace in front of me.
What are you, the king of a country, thinking in your heart? "
Liu Mingzhi heard the beauty's smiling words, lowered his head slightly and looked directly at Chen Jie's pretty face, which showed a strong look of pride.
"How do you think about your husband?"
"Yes, what are you thinking?
Under your governance, Dalong's kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous.
Husband, as the king of a country, are you very proud and happy? "
Young Master Liu quietly looked at the beauty's pretty face, showing pride because of himself, and subconsciously touched the two books in his sleeves.
After a moment of mournful silence, Mr. Liu raised his head and scanned the picture of a peaceful and prosperous age in front of him, and nodded with a faint smile.
"Yes, my husband is indeed very proud of me.
Dalong's land of hundreds of thousands of miles, from the situation where everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized, step by step has reached today's prosperous age in the hands of his husband.
How can you not feel proud in your husband's heart? "
"Yes, yes, yes, as expected, it is exactly what I thought.
Moreover, I believe that Dalong’s world will become even better under your governance, my husband. "
"Maybe."
"Husband, what does it mean to say maybe? It means definitely."
Liu Mingzhi ignored the pedestrians coming and going next to him, stretched out his hand to grab the beautiful woman's wrist, and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Jie'er, you are right, it is for sure."
As the couple chatted and laughed, they unknowingly arrived outside the gate of Liu Mansion.
When Xiao Liu saw the figures of Young Master Liu and Chen Jie, he immediately came up to them.
"Master, Madam, you two are back."
"Well, I'm back.
Xiaoliu, are you ready for the family dinner? "
"Back to the young master, the younger one has just come back, so..."
"I know this, young master. Where is Liu Song?"
"Master, Butler Liu is going to your study to deliver those files."
Young Master Liu smiled and nodded, then reached out and patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder.
"I know, Xiaoliu."
"The little one is here."
"After Liu Song comes back, ask him to rush to the East Palace again and call Chengzhi and Jingyao to come back for the reunion dinner."
"Yes, I understand."
"You can continue to do your work, we will go back to the inner courtyard first."
"I would like to send you my best wishes, young master, young madam."
By the time Mr. and Mrs. Liu arrived outside the main hall, several tables in the hall were already covered with delicious wine and delicacies.
Young Master Liu let go of Chen Jie's wrist, and as soon as he walked in the door, the little cutie's cheers of surprise rang out in the hall.
"Ah, smelly dad, you are finally back."
Seeing the little cutie rushing towards him with a surprised look on his face, Young Master Liu turned sideways to avoid the little cutie's flying attack.
The little cutie jumped away and glared at Young Master Liu angrily.
"Smelly daddy, what do you mean?"
Liu Dashan saw the cheeks puffed up on the little cutie's pretty face, with an angry expression, he casually closed the folding fan in his hand, and lightly hit her delicate forehead with the fan bone.
"You little girl, you are now a grown-up girl, it's time to pay attention to your image.
If you continue to be crazy like this, you may not be able to get married in the future. "
The little cutie reached out and fiddled with the few strands of black hair scattered on her plump chest, with a nonchalant expression on her pretty face.
"Hey, if you can't get married, then you can't get married.
Our family has a great business, how can we survive without this girl? "
"Smelly girl, you are starting to talk nonsense again.
As the saying goes, men should be married when they are older, women should be older..."
When the little cutie heard that the smelly old man wanted to educate her again, before Young Master Liu finished speaking, he walked towards Chen Jie with a smile.
"Come on, stinky daddy, please stop talking. Yue'er knows what you want to say."
The little cutie interrupted Young Master Liu with a depressed look on his face, and saluted Chen Jiefu with a smile on his face.
"Yue'er has met my aunt."
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Thank you, auntie, dear auntie, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Chen Jie looked at the cute little girl who was greeting her with a smile, glanced sideways at Mr. Liu who looked helpless, and nodded with a slight smile.
"Yes, it's true that we two haven't seen each other for a long time.
You girl, you haven't even mentioned visiting your aunt for such a long time. "
"Oh, my dear aunt, you have wronged Yue'er and me.
It's not that Yue'er doesn't want to visit you, but Yue'er that I really can't spare the time to come.
Auntie, you also know that Yue'er and I have to go to the Ten Kings Palace every now and then to handle government affairs.
After finally being idle, I have to make money again.
Day after day, Yue'er and I are so busy that I can't spare any time to visit you. "
Chen Jie saw the bitter expression on the little cutie's pretty face and reached out to hold the little cutie's catkins and pat them a few times.
"Silly girl, if you are short of money, just tell my aunt and I will give it to you.
Besides, can our family still lack your money? "
The cute little girl turned around and held Chen Jie's arms in her arms with a smile.
"Good aunt, Yue'er appreciates your kindness.
but! "
"Huh? But what?"
The little cutie put her profile on Chen Jie's shoulder, and looked directly at the helpless old man with her exquisite eyes, her beautiful eyes full of provocation.
"But the money you gave Yue'er is really not enough for Yue'er."
"Not enough money? How much money do you need every month?"
"It's hard to say this month."
"What? It's hard to say?"
"Oh, good aunt, you don't have to worry about it. I will take care of my own affairs, Yue'er."
"All right."
"Good aunt, Yue'er must rely on her own hands to work hard to earn money.
Otherwise, Yue'er and I will be in front of smelly old man...that so-and-so.
I will never be able to straighten my waist, and I will never even think about standing up.
Yue'er has no money in her hands, so she doesn't have the confidence to resist! "
