Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Yangzhou Bianjing, in Yangliu Pavilion, "Your chess skills are much better than Sikong Yunchou's."

Zhao Nian stroked his beard and said to Li Yin. Li Yin smiled and said, "After so many years, we must make progress." Zhao Nian nodded and said, "Yes, my gun has not been used for many years. It is old." Li Yin's eyes were solemn: "Have you decided?"

Zhao Nian said lightly, "It's decided." Li Yin was very worried: "The palace ordered you to move back to Pingliang, you could have refused."

Zhao Nian chuckled, "After so many years, you are still so stubborn. Now the two children are in Liangzhou, and it is not easy for Zi Yan to enter the official career. If I don't agree, even if you don't want to go, you and your majesty will do it. You are originally from Yangzhou, and you are returning to your hometown. I was born in Pingliang, Jizhou. The Zhao family has been in Pingliang for generations. It is good for you to go back now in your old age."

Li Yin sighed, "Yes, our emperor is very thoughtful. When he was young, he trusted us because he was protecting the territory. Now that he is old and there are people guarding the border, he has become suspicious." Zhao Nian agreed, "There is bound to be a scar between the monarch and his subjects."

"When will we leave?"

"After my family has taken care of the business in Yangzhou in the next few days, we will leave the day after tomorrow."

Li Yin raised the wine glass beside him and said, "Have a good trip."

Zhao Junning looked at the letter from Meng Xiangning, and Li Ziyan drank his tea. "What's wrong? You look so sad. Are you unhappy about the letter from your mother-in-law?" Zhao Junning sighed, "No, I am happy about my mother's letter, but..."

Li Ziyan sat next to Zhao Junning and asked, "What's wrong?" Zhao Junning frowned and said, "My father was ordered to return to Pingliang immediately. His Majesty said that my father is a great general of a country and has military power. He needs to return to Pingliang to guard the palace."

Li Ziyan chuckled after hearing this: "Pingliang City has 50,000 soldiers to protect the city, and the imperial palace has 50,000 imperial guards. They are justified in saying that they are afraid. They are just afraid that my father and father-in-law will be too powerful to suppress the imperial power."

Li Ziyan held Zhao Junning's hand, and Zhao Junning felt mixed emotions. "I hope everything goes well."

Li Ziyan smoothed Zhao Junning's frown and said, "I will."

Then Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning and said, "Junning, I'm sorry. I was careless. Xiao Yufu has always liked to bully people since she was a child. She is also a bad person to the core. Last night, I heard from Xu Biao that you fell off the cliff. My heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows. On the way to find you, I kept telling myself that you would be fine."

Zhao Junning said with a smile: "I don't blame you. Didn't you find me in time? The road was too dark. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find my way home."

"Young Master, Young Madam, why don't you go back to your room?" Mo Yu said. The two then realized that they were in the lobby. Yuan Xinghui and Xu Wenhe, who were watching the excitement, smiled awkwardly and coughed lightly. Lin Muchen covered his face with a fan, as if saying 'don't look without permission'. Zhao Junning and Li Ziyan quickly let go of their hands. Li Ziyan opened his fan and fanned himself, saying to Mo Yu with a smile, "Sorry, sorry, everyone." Zhao Junning covered her face with a round fan and lowered her head, her face red from her ears to her neck.

Yang Chuanli and Feng Lanzhi smiled knowingly. Jiang Yunchuan smiled and said, "The young marquis has a good relationship with Boss Zhao, so it won't be a problem." Zhao Junning hurriedly changed the subject: "There is new tea these days, everyone, try it." Seeing that Zhao Junning was shy, several people said, "Okay, let's try it."

At noon, by the moat, "Sir, what do you think of the moat repair?" Chen Hu said to Li Ziyan while holding the blueprint. Li Ziyan took the blueprint and compared it with the Yellow River repair project, and nodded: "Let's work together."

After saying this, Li Ziyan picked up the sandbag and continued to work.

On the city wall, "Li Ziyan is good-looking and does his job well. He is a perfect match for you." Zhao Junning smiled, but his eyes were looking at Li Ziyan who was busy working by the moat outside the city.

Yuan Xinghui then asked: "But I'm a little curious, how did you fall in love with him? After all, you two were a pair of enemies when you first got married." Zhao Junning pondered after hearing this, thinking: Do I like him or do I like him because I was reborn? Yuan Xinghui frowned as he thought, "Junning, what's wrong with you? You know I'm a very curious person. It's okay if you don't want to answer. Blame my curious nature. Anyway, you two are very loving now."

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Maybe this liking came all of a sudden. After all, I was the one who talked to him first."

At night, the two of them walked along the corridor and stopped halfway. Li Ziyan said, "It's really cold in winter."

Zhao Junning nodded, and Li Ziyan continued, "I remember that we were not married at this time last year. It was on this day last year. Wen Hecongwen and I were watching the fun in the dance studio, and you angrily broke into the dance studio with your servants. You chased me with your father's thorn stick and beat me. You also said, 'Li Ziyan, I tell you, I, Zhao Junning, am narrow-minded. Today I don't mind crippling you and marrying a disabled husband.'

I said at the time, 'You have a really bad temper, I haven't married you yet, I won't marry you even if I kill you, Zhao Junning, I tell you, even if there are no women in the world, I won't marry you, how can I live a good life if I marry you? I don't know what my father is thinking, he praised you for being dignified, I will tell my father tomorrow that I won't marry you, at most I will be beaten by my father than marrying a girl as fierce as you.'

At that time, you were not panicked at all when you heard what I said. You even said, "Then I wish the young marquis success." But in the end, you still brought me back to the Marquis' Mansion. But now I think about it, I am quite happy. "Zhao Junning never said a word.

Li Ziyan smoothed Zhao Junning's wrinkled brows, "Today I heard Yuan Xinghui say that she asked you some questions, and then you looked at me in dismay. What kind of questions made my omnipotent wife frown?"
