The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing was so angry that he laughed, "Dongqing, I will not see her, nor will I grant her wish. The law of begging is there. You are my sworn brother, do you want to be the first one to break the law?"

That’s right, there is a law in Fengqi that a concubine will be a concubine for life.

Ge Dongqing shamelessly begged, "Brother, please have mercy on me and make this a special matter. I have already promised Fu Liu that I would give her the title of his legal wife."

Wan Lianxing pointed at Ge Dongqing, but turned his face to Zhong Siyu. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Queen, look at this woman. She is scheming. She is aiming for the position of the wife of the Ge family. She is so cunning that it is hard to estimate. Look at how much she has bewitched Dongqing. She is willing to become Fu Liu's pawn. She hits wherever Fu Liu points, without even thinking."

"Brother, I came here on my own accord to ask for Fu Liu to be my legal wife."

Wan Lianxing felt helpless when he saw Ge Dongqing's hopeless appearance. He was bewitched by a woman and was really useless.

With Zhong Siyu around, Wan Lianxing had to give Ge Dongqing some face, otherwise he would have started cursing.

Wan Lianxing said to Zhong Siyu, "Queen, look at how devoted and loyal this man is to Fu Liu."

Zhong Siyu suppressed her laughter and said seriously, "Your Majesty, Lord Ge is a rare infatuated person. I believe Ge Dongqing and Fu Liu fell in love at first sight and decided to spend their lives together."

"Yes, yes, the Queen is absolutely right. Fu Liu and I fell in love at first sight. She is willing to be my wife, and I am willing to be her husband, for eternity."

Wan Lianxing raised his hand and pointed at Ge Dongqing again: "You are really ill. If you have nothing else to say, go home and accompany your pregnant concubine. She needs you more than I do."

"Brother, you haven't agreed to let me make Fu Liu my co-wife. I can't explain to Fu Liu when I go back." Ge Dongqing almost knelt on the ground and hugged Wan Lianxing's thighs.

"Did Fuliu send you?"

"I wanted to come here on my own, but I've already promised Fu Liu. Otherwise, Fu Liu wouldn't have married into my Ge Mansion so easily and willingly become a concubine."

Wan Lianxing looked at Zhong Siyu, "Queen, look at these two people. One dares to think anything, and the other dares to agree to anything. If it wasn't me who arranged this marriage for Si Niang, who knows what Ge Dongqing and Fu Liu would do to her. In the past, I saw Dongqing was unhappy with Si Niang and often came to me to confide his feelings. I felt regretful and thought it would be better if I hadn't facilitated this marriage. Now I see that the choice I made back then was absolutely correct. The Ge Mansion must have a woman like Lu Si Niang to take charge, otherwise no one can subdue Dongqing and Fu Liu."

Zhong Siyu had a smile on her face all the time, and her smile grew wider after hearing what Wan Lianxing said. When she first heard about this, Zhong Siyu was also indignant for Lu Si Niang, but thinking of the importance of offspring, she could also understand Ge Dongqing's eagerness to bring Fu Liu back home, but asking for a wife equal to his was naturally excessive. Seeing that Wan Lianxing remained neutral, Zhong Siyu also felt relieved. Such a person would only ask for an inch. If she agreed to her this time, she would ask for more in the future.

Zhong Siyu couldn't help but flatter Wan Lianxing: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and I admire you."

Seeing Zhong Siyu say this, Ge Dongqing became anxious. "Queen, we are all women. Please speak up for Fu Liu."

"This?" What could Zhong Siyu say? Even though she and Fu Liu had never met, how could she speak for her? Even if she had to stand for Zhong Siyu, she had to stand for Lu Si Niang, the innocent legal wife. The instigators of the recent chaos in the Ge Mansion were Ge Dongqing and Fu Liu. How could she speak for them?

Wan Lianxing stood up. He couldn't sit still anymore, and couldn't listen any longer. "Dongqing, please don't make things difficult for the Queen. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Whether you want to divorce me or make Fu Liu your concubine, it's all about your own family. I declare today that all matters in the Ge Mansion are up to you. Even if someone dies, I won't interfere. Just don't feel that you are violating your conscience before you act."

Wan Lianxing pulled Zhong Siyu and said, "Come on, Your Majesty, accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden."

Ge Dongqing hurried forward to support Wan Lianxing: "Brother, let the Queen rest for a while, I will accompany you to visit the Imperial Garden."

Wan Lianxing didn't even look at Ge Dongqing, and his words were filled with anger. "With the Queen here, I'll still consider your face. If the Queen wasn't here, I'd want to beat you up. Your reputation lately is worse than shit, and my face is tarnished."

In order to achieve his goal, Ge Dongqing took the risk of being scolded and forcibly helped Wan Lianxing away.

Zhong Siyu looked at their backs and shook her head, lamenting that Ge Dongqing was bewitched by a ghost.

Based on Zhong Siyu's understanding of Wan Lianxing, Ge Dongqing's wish would definitely fail, because Wan Lianxing's attitude was already very firm and it was impossible for him to waver in the slightest. Ge Dongqing had the courage to bring Fu Liu back to the Ge Mansion, but he didn't dare to give her the title of legal wife without permission.

Just then, someone came to report that the Crown Princess from Prince Pang's Mansion had arrived and was waiting at Wankang Palace.

Zhong Siyu quickly moved to Shoukang Palace. Not only Shang Xi came, but also Yuhua, who was always by her side.

Zhong Siyu took Shang Xi and Yuhua's hands and said, "You have been so busy lately that you didn't come to the palace to see me. I heard that you went to the palace to do some work a few days ago. Why don't you come and sit with me?"

Shang Xi wanted to come too, but she had many reasons. "It's not that I don't want to see you, but bricks are being fired day and night outside the north city, and the construction of a village is imminent. The refugees need to settle down in my Fengqi, so how can I not devote all my energy to helping them build houses?"

Zhong Siyu knew about such a big thing. Building a kiln to burn bricks outside the city was the result of a discussion between Wan Lianxing and the ministers. Wan Lianxing was very concerned about the survival of those refugees.

"Have you started building the house yet?"

"Not yet, but construction will begin soon. The refugees are very enthusiastic about building houses. After all, bricks and tiles for building houses are free. As long as every household is willing to contribute manpower and effort to make bricks, they will soon be able to live in a big brick house. Your Majesty, you haven't been outside the north city. If you had gone there, you would have been shocked by the sight before you. That vast wilderness has been turned into fields under the hoes of the refugees. The wheat planted in the fields has grown more than a foot tall, neatly arranged and lush green. If the autumn wind blows, the green wheat waves roll like waves, which is pleasing to the eye. There is also the kiln factory that works day and night. The big chimney is a sight to behold. The fireworks that never stop day and night can be seen as a column of white smoke rising into the blue sky from a distance. The good days for the refugees will soon be here." Shang Xi said it with a lively expression. She was happy to think that villages would appear outside the city in two months. It would be more lively there, and the refugees would live and work in peace.
