The wedding of Su Qi'an and Su Fengling caused a huge sensation in Kyoto. Not only in the imperial city, but also in the entire Kyoto, the past few days have been quite lively.

Especially the imperial edict issued by Su Xuanyong to have fun with the people made the people of Kyoto liven up like this for a long time.

The bustle outside the imperial city and the palace inside the city. As time goes by, the sky gradually becomes brighter, and the flowing spring scenery has finally subsided.

In the bedroom, Su Fengling did not continue to linger on the bed with Su Qian. Instead, she got up early and sat in front of the dressing table to dress up.

Su Qian, who was lying on the bed, was not idle either. She got dressed and got out of bed. He was marrying a royal princess, not an ordinary woman.

After the wedding night, in the next few days, you have to pay your respects and greetings to other royal elders.

Even if Su Qi'an wanted to continue to have a relationship with Su Fengling, he still had to find some time to come behind Su Fengling and smell the body fragrance from Su Fengling's body.

Su Qi'an put her palm on Su Fengling's shoulder, leaned her head close, and whispered in her ear.

"My wife is still pretty."

Su Fengling looked at herself in the mirror with a smile on her face, then her eyes flashed with a cunning look, and she said softly.

"My husband, what you said is not right. Compared with my husband's other two ladies, I should be a little inferior. When will my husband take me to meet the other two ladies?"

Hearing this, Su Qi'an was startled. Although, he had promised in front of Su Xuanyong that he would be very kind to the Ninth Princess and ensured that the status of the three housewives would be the same, but he could not resist the jealousy between women.

Seeing that Su Qi'an, who always had a bright tongue, suddenly lost her voice, Su Fengling burst out laughing.

Su Qian quickly realized that this was Su Fengling deliberately teasing him.

Su Qi'an didn't say anything, pretending to be angry, then stretched out her face and kissed her hard, using force with her mouth. Su Fengling wanted to struggle, but was overcome by this domineering attitude. She slapped Su Qi'an's palm, which gradually softened.

As the two of them became emotionally involved, Su Qian's palms began to become restless, moving downwards from the shoulders. Just when the palms were about to touch the collar, suddenly, the maid's urging came from outside the palace.

At this moment, Su Fengling woke up and pushed Su Qi'an away. She blushed slightly and quickly arranged her messy hair.

Su Qi'an, who stepped aside, was laughing. This was Su Fengling's punishment for teasing him.

After the greeting etiquette in the Imperial City was over, Su Qi'an planned to take Su Fengling to leave the Imperial City and return to Xizhou.

This is not the so-called messing around, but a holiday to relax and unwind. Just as Su Xuanyong said, during the past few years of fighting in the north and south, you should also give yourself some holidays.

If his nerves remain tense, he might do something wrong again.

He just took advantage of the vacation to return to Xizhou, meet his relatives and friends in Xizhou, and also let Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan, who were in charge of Xizhou for him, formally meet the Ninth Princess as his wife.

Su Qi'an could not stop the jealousy between women, but the three of them were not unreasonable people. Su Qi'an believed that his three wives would be able to live in harmony.

Unlike other men, he has three wives and four concubines. Here in Su Qi'an, everyone is equal and there is absolutely no distinction between wives and concubines.

Here, the three ladies are all serious wives. This system has never existed in Great Liang, even if we look at the past dynasties.

Since there is no such thing, Su Qi'an plans to create it himself. Anyway, the system is not always broken but reshaped.

Regarding the matter of marrying wives, when Su Qi'an was in Jiaozhou and had his own territory, he created and implemented a new system. There were two points: the abolition of the concubine system. The wives he married were all treated equally, regardless of their status. Marrying multiple wives must be Obtain the approval of the first wife, and do not buy or sell by force. You must respect the other party.

As for the others, they are just supplementary details. These two points are the most fundamental. Under his leadership, the wife-marriage system in Jiaozhou at that time was reformed quite well.

This shows that many existing systems are not unchangeable. They mainly comply with public opinion. With strong control, many things can be changed.

This time he returned to Xizhou to see if there were any new changes in Xizhou and Jiaozhou during his absence. Su Qian was looking forward to it.

When Su Qi'an was in a daze, Su Fengling's urging voice sounded. Su Qi'an came back to her senses, nodded, and then took Su Fengling's hand, followed by the palace ladies, and headed towards the many palaces inside the imperial city.

Su Qi'an thought that this greeting and visit could be completed in half a day at most, but he underestimated the etiquette of the royal family.

Every time I went to the palace of the royal family elders, I stayed there for two or three hours from the time I entered to the time I left. In one day, I only visited four or five places.

The elders of the royal family, in addition to the empress dowager, the empress dowager, some of Su Xuanyong's favorite concubines, and the various concubines who watched Su Fengling grow up as children, are also a kind of elders, and they have to pay their respects one by one.

When this round of greetings was completed, four or five days had passed before I knew it.

Su Qi'an returned to the dormitory and lay directly on the bed, with a strong look of exhaustion on her face.

The visits these past few days have been an eye-opener. Even Su Qi'an obviously couldn't bear it. Although he was tired, fortunately, all the visits were finally completed before today.

In the following time, Su Qi'an will stay in Kyoto for a few days at most before setting off to return.

Su Qi'an, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief. He had indeed stayed in the imperial city for a long time in the past few days, but he had met various members of the royal family, including the tenth prince Su Xian, whom Su Qi'an had longed for.

Although he was not an elder, he was the prince after all, so he took this opportunity to meet Su Xian.

In more than a year, Su Xian has not grown much in height, but he has become smarter. Su Qi'an admires both his etiquette and some knowledge.

Although some views are a bit immature, this immaturity carries a little bit of pure kindness.

To become the master of ZTE, pure kindness is more important than ruthlessness. Only by empathizing enough with the people at the bottom can Great Liang get back on track.

There was a big quarrel between Su Qi'an and Su Xuanyong, and they had different ideas, but one thing remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, which was to support Su Xian and enable Su Xian to sit on the throne of emperor.

It's just that Su Xuanyong's laissez-faire towards the two princes made Su Qi'an somewhat worried. No matter Su Zhe, Su Tai, or even Su Kang who was hiding his strength, Su Qi'an had to protect Su Xian.

And this important task fell on Su Fengling. With her identity, it was much more convenient for her to enter and exit the palace than him. Even if she wanted to take Su Fengling out of the imperial city in the future, she would have to give instructions again and again.

While Su Qi'an was thinking unconsciously, Su Fengling's voice sounded in his ears.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Su Qi'an came to his senses, and Su Fengling was lying on his body at some point, putting her little hands on his chest and tapping it gently.

Seeing this, Su Qi'an stretched out her arms, hugged Su Fengling, and whispered in her ear, "Your husband is thinking about how many children he should have with my wife."

After saying that, the next moment, the body turned over and the two people immediately changed positions. Su Fengling's eyes closed slightly unconsciously. When Su Qi'an's mouth touched, the red curtain was pulled down again, and a spring breeze filled the air...

As time passed, the dark night was gradually replaced by the skylight, and the greetings from the royal family and relatives ended. No one disturbed the two of them today, so they could have a good rest.

The two of them had indeed worked a lot these past few days, sleeping from dawn to nearly midnight.

At this time, Su Qi'an had woken up. Next to him, Su Fengling was still sleeping quietly. Su Qi'an looked at her carefully for a while, then kissed her gently on the face. Without disturbing Su Qi'an, she lifted the quilt and tiptoed out of bed. stand up.

Looking at the sunshine coming from the window, Su Qian put on his clothes and walked to an open-air wooden platform. He just stretched his waist, and then, a joking voice sounded in his ears.

"Hey, you got up so early, why don't you seize the opportunity and continue to be affectionate and affectionate with the Ninth Princess."

Su Qi'an rolled his eyes. He didn't even need to turn around to know who was speaking. No one else but Wang Yan could dare to talk to him in such a joking way.

Su Qi'an turned around, looked at Wang Yan who was wearing night clothes, and said softly, "This is the imperial city. If you dress like this, aren't you afraid of being arrested as an assassin?"

"Tell me, come to me, is there something important?"

Wang Yan looks unattractive, but she is very reliable in her work. If not, Su Qi'an would not let her lead the "An" team and be responsible for his safety, which is the last line of defense.

Generally speaking, if there was nothing special, Wang Yan would definitely not show up on her own initiative. Su Qian suddenly had a bad feeling when she suddenly appeared.

"Hehe, except for a few in the Imperial City, as long as they are not alarmed, the so-called imperial army is nothing more than a bunch of people."

"Originally I didn't want to disturb your good things, but you guessed it's okay. I really have something big to do with you."

Then, Wang Yan waved her hand, and a letter fell directly into Su Qi'an's hands.

Su Qi'an opened it and glanced around, with a somewhat solemn look on his face.

This letter was not sent by anyone else, but by Sun Wen and Liu Meng. It probably meant that it was about Gansu and Mengzhou.

The two states of Gansu and Meng are none other than the northwest of Daliang, and what connects the northwest of Daliang is the famous Western Region.

The letter probably means that there seems to be a strange movement in the two northwest states, that is, the Western Region. This kind of movement is not small, and a war may break out, which can take a few days or more than a month.

At the end of the letter, he asked Su Qi'an to issue new instructions on how to deal with it.

Su Qi'an has no doubt about the authenticity of this letter. The information provided by Sun Wen and Liu Meng will be evaluated and judged by them, not to say 100%, but at least about 70 to 80%.

Since they have made such an assessment of the two northwest states, it is very likely that there will really be a big commotion in the Western Regions soon, and war will probably break out.
