"My husband is wise, we sisters do have something to ask you about."
Young Master Liu turned around and looked at the beauties who had all sat down, and crossed his legs with a smile.
"Weier, come and give me a cup of hot tea."
"Hey, I know it, so I'm coming right now."
Ling Weier directly lifted the teapot on the table next to her, walked to the desk and gave Young Master Liu a cup of tea.
"Husband, you have tea."
Young Master Liu looked at Ling Weier and nodded with a slight smile. After taking a few sips of tea, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the ladies.
"Tell me, who has come to you sisters to plead for mercy?"
As soon as Young Master Liu said this, except for Qi Ya, who turned her beautiful eyes lightly and smiled, the faces of the other beauties all froze for a moment, and a look of confusion flashed across their pretty eyes.
Qi Ya turned her head and glanced at Mr. Liu, who had a slightly raised mouth and a smile on his face. He shook his head with a smile, poured a cup of fragrant tea from the pot, and tasted it carefully.
Qi Yun, the third princess and the sisters came to their senses one after another and looked at Young Master Liu with doubts on their faces.
"Husband?"
"Huh? Husband, are you?"
"Husband, you...how did you know?"
Young Master Liu looked at the confused expressions of the ladies, and gently spit out the tea leaves from the corner of his mouth, happily fidgeting with the tea lid in his hand.
"Hehehe, are you very curious, how do I know about my husband?"
"Hmm, husband, how did you know?"
"Husband, of course I am curious.
Our sisters have just arrived in the study and have not told you anything yet. Husband, how do you know that we sisters came to you together because of something? "
"Could it be that a maid came here before us sisters and told you about the living room?
This is impossible. The maids are all collecting tea in the living room. How could they come here before us? "
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to the confused words of the beauties, and gently pinched his fingers a few times with a pretentious expression.
"Hahaha, for my husband, I'll figure it out with my fingers and I'll know."
Hearing her husband's joking words, Qi Yun, the three princesses, sisters, and others all rolled their eyes with cute expressions.
The Queen turned her eyes to look at Qi Ya, who had a pretty smile and was enjoying her tea. Then she looked at Young Master Liu, her autumn eyes turning slightly.
Suddenly.
The queen suddenly opened her eyes wide, and nodded her head a few times with a hint of understanding.
It seems that I have guessed something.
Qi Yun lifted the ribbon on her arm, stood up and walked to Young Master Liu, asking in a sweet voice with an angry expression: "Oh, husband, please stop joking with our sisters.
Come on, tell us sisters, what is going on? "
Young Master Liu raised his head and looked at the beautiful lady with an angry expression. He opened the middle drawer of the desk with a smile, then picked up two pieces of rice paper filled with words and handed them to the beautiful lady.
"Hey, take it, okay?"
Qi Yun looked stunned and subconsciously looked at the rice paper in her hand.
"what?"
However, after she read the contents on the rice paper, a look of understanding immediately appeared in her pretty eyes.
"Husband, it turns out that you did this on purpose!"
When the third princess, Qinglian, Wenren Yunshu and others heard what Qi Yun said, their expressions became more and more curious.
Liu Mingzhi raised his tea cup and tasted it for a while, then stood up and walked to the window and stopped.
"For so many years, you sisters have not lived in the palace for many years.
Many officials above the court, as well as the female officials in the harem, eunuchs and palace gates, gradually lost their fear of you.
It's also time for them to remember your sisters.
These two pieces of rice paper, one is for you sisters, and the other is for that brat Chengzhi.
You sisters, take back the rice paper your husband gave you, stamp your own personal seals together, and then send someone to deliver another piece of rice paper to Chengzhi, asking him to stamp his own seals as well.
Then, just send them to the Ministry of Finance together. "
Listening to her husband's plain words, Qi Yun lowered her eyes and looked at the rice paper in her hand, her pretty eyes filled with emotion.
At this moment, it was unclear where she was.
The reason why my husband did this was to pave the way for his son Liu Chengzhi, and to increase his prestige in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
This means that his husband has already thought about it and plans to appoint his son Liu Chengzhi as the crown prince.
After hearing what Liu Mingzhi said, Qi Yun was not the only one to understand.
The other beauties also reacted one after another.
Qi Yun lightly pursed her red lips, turned around slightly, and looked nervously at the good sisters behind her.
When she saw all the good sisters smiling, she felt relieved.
Asking herself, she was very worried, worried that her sisters would be dissatisfied because of what her husband had just said.
After all, among the many sisters, she is not the only one who has a son.
Many sisters also gave birth to a son for their husbands.
However, there is only one position.
The husband's behavior today means that the sons born to his sisters are no longer destined for that position.
Now, seeing that there is no dissatisfaction among the sisters, I can feel completely relieved.
"Husband, I know."
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Qi Yun.
"Yun'er."
"Hey, husband, tell me."
Young Master Liu leaned sideways on the window sill and pointed at the two pieces of rice paper in Qi Yun's hand.
"Yun'er, before you sisters send someone to send the letter to the Ministry of Finance, don't forget to find another piece of rice paper and copy the content again.
Those old foxes in the temple are quite familiar with my husband's handwriting. "
Qi Yun burst into laughter and rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu.
"Pfft, don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
"Hehehe, I say this for my husband, just in case."
Liu Mingzhi smiled and turned around and walked to the desk.
"Yun'er."
"I'm here."
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair, picked up a document and laid it on the desk.
"Besides this matter, do you sisters have anything else to do?"
"Return to my husband, there is no more."
"Go back to my husband, there is nothing wrong with us sisters."
Young Master Liu nodded with a smile and reached out to pick up the ink pen on the inkstone.
"In that case, you sisters, go get busy first."
"Yeah, yeah, sisters, I'll take my leave first."
"To put it mildly, you can stay for a while."
The Queen paused and turned back to look at Young Master Liu.
"Huh? Me?"
"right."
"Okay, I understand."
The Queen responded, looking at the group of good sisters around her and shrugging her shoulders.
"Sisters, walk slowly."
"Yeah, yeah, got it."
After Qi Yun, Qi Ya and the other sisters left chatting and laughing, the queen held up her jade arms with a lazy look, stretched her body, walked lightly to the chair opposite Young Master Liu and sat down.
"Tell me, why do you want me to stay?"
Young Master Liu picked up the reviewed documents and put them aside, then picked up another document and placed it in front of him.
"To put it bluntly, my husband, I have been reviewing documents for more than an hour, and I feel a little tired.
There is sandalwood prepared by Ying'er on the table next to it. Please help me light some sandalwood for my husband. "
The Queen chuckled and nodded a few times, then immediately stood up and walked towards the table with sandalwood.
"Okay, I understand, please wait a moment."
After Young Master Liu finished approving another document, the Queen returned to the desk holding the incense burner with smoke rising in her hand.
"Where can I put the heartless ones?"
"Just let it go."
"knew."
The Queen bent down slightly, put the incense burner in Yu's hand next to the pen holder with a light movement, and then sat on the chair again.
Liu Mingzhi put the reviewed documents aside, put down the ink pen in his hand, filled the pot with a cup of tea, and looked with complicated eyes at the queen opposite, who was leaning against the armrest of the chair with her legs crossed.
"To put it mildly, do you mind if I give you a cup of tea?"
"No, I've had two drinks just now."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"To be honest, do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
The Queen looked up at Young Master Liu, her eyes complicated and silent for a long time. She held her cheek in one hand and nodded gently.
"Well, yes, it's a little uncomfortable.
It's like, as if something is missing suddenly.
But, you don’t have to worry about me or anything.
Mom, I told you a few days ago that I understand your difficulties and support your decision. "
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the fire stick and lit a pot of dry smoke.
He silently blew out a puff of smoke, looked at the Queen and said with a grin: "Wanyan, if you told my husband just now, you didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but I wouldn't believe it."
Seeing that you can be so calm makes me feel relieved as my husband. "
Seeing the smile on Young Master Liu's face, the Queen rolled her eyes angrily.
"You, you have the nerve to say it!
Just now you left me alone in front of all the sisters. I don’t know what sister Yun’er would think. "
"Hahaha, to put it mildly, don't worry about Yun'er.
Things that you can look away from, she can also look away from.
You sisters have been together for so many years, don’t you still know what kind of person she is? "
The Queen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "That's true."
"Wanyuan, do you have anything to do when you go back?"
"There are some trivial matters that can be dealt with at any time. What's the matter? Are you busy?"
When Young Master Liu heard the Queen's answer, he raised his hand and hit his shoulder.
"In that case, please stay and help me approve the memorial for my husband."
Hearing this, the Queen looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly and frowned involuntarily.
"Is this appropriate? Our handwriting is different.
If something goes wrong by then, that would be bad. "
Young Master Liu waved his hands cheerfully, pulling the chair behind him and moving it to the side a few times.
"It's still the same as before. You read the content to your husband and I will give you instructions."
Seeing Young Master Liu say this, the Queen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's pretty much it."
After saying this, the Queen stood up and pulled the chair behind her to walk to Young Master Liu and sat down side by side with him.
After the Queen sat down, she glanced at the documents on the desk.
"You have no conscience, everyone here has been approved, right?"
"Yes, the husband over there has already given instructions."
The Queen nodded, then picked up the inkstone and placed it in front of Young Master Liu, then picked up a document and held it in her hand.
"I am the governor of Yuezhou..."
After the Queen read the contents of the document aloud, she turned sideways and laid the document in her hand in front of Young Master Liu, and then picked up another document.
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while with his brows slightly furrowed, then directly raised the ink pen and wrote two large characters in the lower right corner of the document.
Seeing this, the Queen smiled slightly and opened the document in her hand.
"Chen Guangzhou..."
The Queen read the contents of the document softly, and Young Master Liu held the ink pen to give instructions.
For a time, the number of documents on the desk visibly decreased.
…
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
As if in the blink of an eye, time has come to March.
Spring March.
The return of spring.
The wind is gentle and the flowers are in full bloom.
Compared with January and February, the spring in March can be regarded as the real spring.
In early March, the weather in Beijing has really warmed up.
As the weather gets warmer, Young Master Liu has also changed into spring clothes.
Young Master Liu's jade fan that had been covered in dust all winter has returned to his hands again.
After March, the wedding day of Liu Yiyi, Liu Chengzhi, Liu Chengqian and their three siblings is getting closer and closer.
Liu Mansion was full of busy atmosphere.
In the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion, in the garden.
Young Master Liu looked at the figures of the maids coming and going in the long corridor in the distance, and sighed deeply.
"Oh, it's getting faster and faster."
Immediately, Young Master Liu fell asleep silently on the recliner, holding a book and reading it boredly.
It took about a while to have a cup of tea.
Young Master Liu had just read three pages when Liu Song's urgent shouting came from outside the pavilion.
"Master."
"Master."
"Master!"
Young Master Liu scratched his ears with his fingers, sat up angrily, turned around and looked at Liu Song not far away.
"It's over here."
Upon seeing this, Liu Song rushed towards the pavilion where Young Master Liu was.
"Please see the young master."
Young Master Liu knocked the book in his hand on his lap, gently fanned the jade fan in his hand, picked up a strawberry from the plate on the side and threw it into his mouth.
After swallowing the strawberry in his mouth, Mr. Liu glared at Liu Song with a depressed expression.
"Oh, didn't I tell you a few days ago that if you have any issues, just go to Yun'er, Yan'er, Sister Ya and the other sisters to report it.
Young Master, it’s rare for me to be in the mood to take a rest today, but you ruined it again. "
"Master, I know, but this time, I can only report to you first."
Young Master Liu picked up a mouthful of strawberries and was about to throw it into his mouth. When he heard Liu Song's words, his hand paused slightly.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Back to the young master, young lady Chen Jie and young lady Lian Niang have returned from the East China Sea."
Young Master Liu closed the folding fan in his hand and quickly stood up from the recliner.
"Jie'er and Lianniang are back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Where are the people?"
"We have already entered the mansion. We should be almost at the inner courtyard now."
Young Master Liu quickly looked in the direction of the front yard, raised the jade fan in his hand and tapped Liu Song's forehead gently.
"Then why the hell are you still standing here? Go and bring them to my young master!"
"Yes, little one, go right here."
Looking at Liu Song's running back, Mr. Liu stuffed the strawberry in his mouth into his mouth, bent down to pick up the book that had just fallen to the ground, and threw it casually on the stone table.
