Lu Ze chuckled and replied: "It should only be these two days. Your Majesty and I will be reconciled, and the position of Minister of Dali Temple will be mine."
Qi Yuning's eyes were smiling, "Congratulations to Sir Lu, congratulations to Sir Lu."
Lu Ze carried Lingling and went to draw the paper kites. The Qingming Festival was getting warmer in spring, which was a good time to fly the paper kites.
Lingling wanted a big paper kite, but Lu Ze doted on her. He ordered Deqing to cut the bamboo bones and make a paper kite that was taller than Lingling.
Qi Yuning looked at the paper kite made by his father and daughter and said, "This paper kite is too big. I'm afraid it won't be able to fly."
Lingling said: "You can definitely fly. Daddy can fly, right?"
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Yes, it can fly."
Qi Yuning made a small paper kite on the side and drew little spirits on it.
Lingling let out a wow: "Mother, dear, are you drawing Lingling?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Yeah."
Lingling took the paper kite in Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Lingling likes my mother's paper kite."
Qi Yuning smiled: "It's your father's birthday in two days, so you can take a day off. We'll release the kite then."
Lingling smiled and said: "Lingling really wants dad's birthday to come soon."
In Lingling's expectation, she finally looked forward to Lu Ze's birthday. Lu Ze did not hold a banquet for his birthday this year. Firstly, Mrs. Lu was not feeling well, and it was difficult for the younger generation to celebrate her birthday. Secondly, today was not a day off in the middle of the court. On the day of Mu, it is inconvenient to invite people to a banquet.
Lu Ze only made an appointment with two friends, Qin Feng and Lin Jiang, to have lunch at Qingfeng Tower. In the afternoon, he took Lingling to fly kites on Longhua Mountain.
Before Lu Zelin went out, Lingling pulled Lu Ze's sleeve and said, "Dad, Lingling wants to go with daddy. Lingling is afraid that daddy won't come back."
Lu Ze whispered: "Dad is going to have lunch with Uncle Lin Jiang and Uncle Qin Feng. After lunch, he will come back and take you to fly the kites."
Lingling held Lu Ze's sleeve tightly and said, "Lingling also wants to have dinner with daddy."
Qi Yuning watched Lingling being so clingy from the side, picked up Lingling and said, "Let's go, Lin Jiang and Qin Feng are not outsiders, we just go to have a meal together."
Lu Ze said: "That's fine."
The three of them arrived at Qingfeng Tower. As soon as they entered the door, Lu Ze felt that the eyes of others were looking at him very strangely.
Qi Yuning also felt something was wrong, so he carried Lingling upstairs and into the box.
When Qin Feng and Lin Jiang inside saw Lu Ze, their eyes felt that Lu Ze was not worth it.
Qi Yuning put down Lingling and asked, "Why do you two look at Lu Ze so much?"
"Princess." Qin Feng and Lin Jiang saluted Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Lu Ze walked to the main seat, looked at his two friends and said, "We have been brothers for many years. If you have any questions, just say it."
Qin Feng clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty left the court early this morning, and the prince will supervise the court. Jiuqing sent a letter to select the minister of Dali Temple, and his highness decided on Yu Xu."
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince has chosen Yu Xu? How can he be matched with Yu Xu?"
Lin Jiang said slowly: "Uncle Qin said that this young minister of Dali Temple must be a Jinshi. Lu Ze has no merit and fame, and he only relied on his ancestors to enter Dali Temple. He is not worthy of being the minister of Dali Temple."
Qi Yuning frowned tightly, "Although Lu Ze was not a Jinshi, he has served as a young minister for almost two years and solved countless grudge cases. Now it is logical that Lu Ze should be the minister of Dali Temple."
Lu Ze was not as angry as Qi Yuning. He just said calmly: "I am young and I am not in a hurry to be promoted."
"Don't be in a hurry, I don't want to just be a lady." Qi Yuning frowned, "In terms of emotion and reason, in public and private matters, everyone in the government and the public has recognized that the position of Minister of Dali Temple is yours. Your Majesty has always favored you. You, I will go to the palace to find your majesty!"
Today is Lu Ze's birthday, and there is no reason for His Majesty to give his grandson such a slap in the face.
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said: "It's been decided, it's not right to make trouble again. If you think Shuren is unpleasant, isn't there still a Crown Princess? And there is also a future Duke's wife, who can always do it Madam’s.”
Seeing Qi Yuning's anger, Lin Jiang also advised, "Princess, with Prince Lu's ability, he might be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in the future, with a bright future. Lu Ze is indeed a bit younger after all."
Qi Yuning said: "When Qin Feng became a minister, he was only a young man. How can you say you are young? Didn't you also become a concubine of the Hanlin Academy at a young age?"
Since Emperor Jing'an, this dynasty has always been independent of age.
Even if he was worried about Lu Ze's young age, he still wanted to get a wife. He had long been the same as the temple minister in Dali Temple.
This time the case of the King of Shu was also sponsored by him. He has all the credit for his hard work and his reputation is extremely high. Why can't he be the Minister of Dali Temple.
Lingling said from the side: "Mom, please don't be angry."
"If someone bullies your father, mother can't help but be angry."
Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze, and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, who bullied you? Lingling used a small wooden sword to beat him!"
Lin Jiang chuckled and said, "Lingling is really amazing."
Lu Ze coaxed Lingling and said, "No one bullies dad. Princess, you really don't need to be angry about this. The officials of the imperial court have their own considerations in promotion and demotion."
Qi Yuning looked directly at Lu Ze and said: "Your Majesty's previous meaning was very clear. As long as you get married, you can become the Minister of Dali Temple. Why is it that now that you have made a marriage arrangement, you can't become the Minister of Dali Temple? You should ask His Majesty. Clearly.”
Lu Ze said: "Forget it, you don't have to be so angry. If His Highness dares to do this, it must be a calculated result."
Qi Yuning said: "Even if Li He becomes the princess of Dali Temple, he won't be so angry. Then why should Yu Xu? I don't know how proud Qin Yuli will be."
Yu Xu is Qin Yuli's biological uncle and has become Lu Ze's boss. It's hard to say whether Qin Yuli will trip up Lu Ze or something in the future.
Lu Ze comforted Qi Yuning and said, "Let's calm down first and have a meal."
"Full of anger."
Lin Jiang and Qin Feng glanced at Qi Yuning and decided not to keep the meal any longer. They gave Lu Ze a look and left.
After the two friends left, Lu Ze stood up and walked to Qi Yuning, looked into her eyes and said: "Yu Ning, I know you are fighting for me, but I really don't mind.
As you said, everyone in Dali Temple now obeys me. Even if Yu Shun becomes the minister of Dali Temple, he can't do anything to me?
Firstly, I am more prestigious than him in Dali Temple, and secondly, I am still the heir apparent of the Lu family, so he does not dare to stumbling upon me.
What we should really worry about is Yu Xu, who has the name of a temple minister but no actual status. "
Qi Yuning gradually felt better with Lu Ze's comfort, "I'm not so angry because of the position of Mrs. Gaoming. I just feel wronged for you. The Qin family chose your birthday to humiliate you."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "I know."
Lingling saw Lu Ze and Qi Yuning hugging each other and said coquettishly, "Lingling also wants a hug from my mother."
Lu Ze lowered his eyes and glanced at Lingling and said, "Lingling is getting older. We can no longer hug her."
Lingling's peach blossom eyes widened, "But daddy is obviously much, much older than Lingling! Why do you still let mother hug you?"
