Adhere to the gentleman's principles

In the evening, the two left the Zhao Mansion in the carriage. Li Ziyan was drunk again. He looked at Zhao Junning and said, "Wife, look at me. Do you think I am pretty?"

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "It looks good."

Li Ziyan nodded and said, "You have good taste. Since I was a child, they have said that I am a playboy, domineering and rude, but no one has ever said that I am not good-looking." Zhao Junning said, "My dear, you are so narcissistic even when you are drunk."

Li Ziyan leaned on Zhao Junning's shoulder and said, "No way, I'm not happy when others praise me. I'm very, very happy when you praise me, my lady."

Zhao Junning glanced at Li Ziyan who was leaning on her shoulder and said, "Please sit down." Li Ziyan said in a coquettish tone, "No, it's more comfortable leaning on my madam." Zhao Junning was touched by Li Ziyan's adorable behavior.

They soon arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. Zhao Junning patted Li Ziyan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we're home, go back to your room and sleep." Li Ziyan opened his eyes and got off the carriage. Even though he was dizzy, he did not forget to support Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning said to Fuling who was at the door, "Fuling, go make a bowl of hangover soup." Fuling said, "Okay."

Zhao Junning asked Mo Yu and Fei Zhou to help Li Ziyan back to his room. Li Ziyan shook his head: "No, I want my wife."

Just then, Xu Zhiwan and Li Yin came out of the tea room and heard what Li Ziyan said. Zhao Junning looked at Li Yin and Xu Zhiwan with a wry smile, and supported Li Ziyan with her small body.

On the way back to the room, Zhao Junning staggered back to the room and put Li Ziyan on the bed. Fuling also brought the hangover soup. Zhao Junning helped Li Ziyan up and said, "Ziyan? Wake up and drink the hangover soup." Li Ziyan slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight and stretched out his hand. Zhao Junning handed the hangover soup to Li Ziyan. After Li Ziyan drank it in one breath, he said to Zhao Junning, "My wife, I'm done."

Zhao Junning took the bowl with a smile. Li Ziyan was almost sober at this time, but he still hugged Zhao Junning and said, "My dear, I have waited for you like this today, please reward me."

Zhao Junning asked, "What reward do you want?" Li Ziyan watched Zhao Junning hold her face and kiss her. Zhao Junning touched her face shyly. Li Ziyan said, "I just demonstrated this reward."

Zhao Junning said shyly, "Meng Lang." Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning, "What's Meng Lang about?" Then he rubbed Zhao Junning's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child, "My wife." Zhao Junning smiled and looked at Li Ziyan, and kissed him on the face. Li Ziyan was so happy that he was like a candy. After the kiss, Zhao Junning said shyly, "Go to sleep, I'll go blow out the lights and come back."

In the Qin Mansion, in the room where Xiao Xuantang lived, Geng Shou said, "Your Highness, you have been worried for almost a day, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Xuantang said, "I am thinking about what my brother will do next." Geng Shou said, "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as he doesn't hurt you, it's none of his business. The Crown Prince likes Li Ziyan's wife, why don't you help to bring them together?"

Xiao Xuantang looked at Gengshou and said, "My royal brother likes it, but I see that the couple is very loving, and I just don't like lovers to be separated."

In Xiao Zhengchu's room, Xiao Zhengchu said, "Master Qin, I haven't asked too many questions these past two days, but today I really can't stand it anymore. Why don't you help me persuade Zhao Junning?" Qin Zhuoyuan blew the hot tea in his cup: "Your Highness, it's the stupidest thing to ruin your plan for a woman. Besides, I know Junning's temper. If she's pushed into a corner, she'll do something terrible." Xiao Zhengchu said, "It's a bit scary. Will she commit suicide?"

Qin Zhuoyuan said, "Yes, Jun Ning is said to be a lady from a noble family by everyone, but in fact, those who know her say that she is very evil and stubborn, and likes freedom and doesn't like being restrained. If you push her too far, she will really commit suicide. By then, not to mention the Guangping Marquis Mansion, the four generals of the Zhao family will be able to trample the Pingliang Palace."

Xiao Zhengchu looked at Qin Zhuoyuan: "Just let it go like this? How can I be willing to accept this? Zhao Junning doesn't look like a simple woman."

Qin Zhuoyuan said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. When you have enough power, it will be easy to kill Li Ziyan, and then you can take Zhao Junning away. Now you have too many things to guard against. The King of Qin is supported by many old ministers, and the King of Yue has also formed his own power in recent years. Your Highness, we can only hope for stability at this time." Xiao Zhengchu drank a sip of tea and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

In the Chenghe Palace of the Pingliang Palace, Emperor Xiao Xuanjing looked at the memorial and asked, "Su Tianang, how long have the Crown Prince and the King of Qin been in Bianjing?" Su Tianang said, "Your Majesty, it has been four days."

Xiao Xuanjing said, "It's been four days, only four days!" Su Tianang said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, in addition to Master Qin accompanying her and the soldiers, the Ninth Princess also went." Xiao Xuanjing thought for a moment and said, "Let her go. With her two brothers protecting her and Master Qin, she won't be in danger. This girl is still obsessed with marrying the young Marquis of Guangping Marquis's Mansion."

Su Tianang said, "Your Majesty, since the princess is so persistent, why not grant the marriage?" Xiao Xuanjing shook his head and said, "No, the Li family never takes concubines. Now that I've married General Zhao's daughter, I won't ruin their marriage. Yu Fu is the youngest and has been spoiled. She will figure it out in the future." Su Tianang said, "Yes. Your Majesty, you have recovered a long time ago. If you just have a cold, let the crown prince take charge of the government."

Xiao Xuanjing said: "Su Tianang! You have followed me for so many years, why don't you understand? The battle for the throne will come sooner or later. Zhengchu, Xuantang, and Zhengshu will definitely have a fight. The other three children will choose to help any of them. What I have to do is to let these three children find the right way and the real reason to inherit the throne. Zhengchu and Zhengshu are too cruel, and Xuantang is a steady child."

Su Tianang said, "Your Majesty, it's too early for you to say that. I think the throne should be worthy of virtue." Xiao Xuanjing pointed at Su Tianang and said with a smile, "You old fox, you always understand me so well." Su Tianang said, "Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me."

At the border of Youzhou, the wind was blowing. Li Xiang stood on the city wall. His deputy Jiang Li said, "General, you have been here for eight years. When can we go home?" Li Xiang said, "Soon. Why do you miss home?" Jiang Li nodded, "A little bit."

Li Xiang patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "It will be soon. Once the road is clean and people behave themselves, we can go home."

Pingliang, Wang Luozhong was drinking hot tea in the palace, and Wang Ningyi was sitting beside him. Wang Luozhong asked, "Ningyi, you have been back for a month, and you have been sick for a month. Now that you are well, grandpa would like to ask how you feel about returning to Bianjing this time?" Wang Ningyi said, "I feel very good. The old servants and new servants in the old house are very good and have kept the old house clean."

Wang Luozhong said, "That's right, but I'm not asking you about the old house. How are Zhao Nian and Li Yin? It is said that Zhao Nian's daughter married Li Yin's son. What are they doing?" Wang Ningyi knew that he couldn't get past this question, so he said, "General Zhao and Marquis Guangping don't fight much now. They just accompany their wives to run the shops or stay at home every day."

Wang Luozhong then asked, "Did you go anywhere else?" Wang Ningyi's eyes were firm: "No." Wang Luozhong didn't ask any more questions. Wang Ningyi looked at Wang Luozhong and stopped asking any more questions and took a breath. In her heart, I think: Fortunately, this time my grandfather only asked Lu'er to accompany me back and didn't bring anyone around him, otherwise it would be difficult to get away with it.

Wang Luozhong said, "You should go back and have a rest. Your father will be back from Yizhou in a few days. You can come back to the mansion then. You can stay with your grandfather for the next few days. Your sister has also been learning some palace rules these days. You have already learned them. Go and teach her." Wang Ningyi asked, "Is your sister going to enter the palace?"

Wang Luozhong said, "Yes, if you don't want to enter the palace, your father tried his best to make sure you don't have to. Xuan'er wants to enter the palace, so I asked His Majesty to ask the maids in the palace to teach her the rules. The maids have accompanied the queen to the Xingguo Temple to pray for blessings these days. You can go and teach them." Wang Ningyi nodded and said, "Yes, grandfather."
