The next day, it was bright and bright, but no warm sun came out.
It could be seen directly from the room that the weather outside today was not particularly good. Liu Mingzhi, who was neatly dressed, tapped the tip of Tao Ying's nose.
Tao Ying opened her sleepy eyes, glanced at Mr. Liu who was leaning over and looking at her, and lazily rolled up the brocade quilt and shrank inside.
"I haven't had enough sleep yet! Don't disturb me from resting. You can go home now."
Liu Mingzhi looked stiffly at Tao Ying, who closed her eyes and fell asleep again: "Fuck, how can you be more ruthless than this man?
Isn’t my current attitude completely different from the attitude I had when I was working hard last night?”
Tao Ying let out a sweet sigh, and her naked body got out of the brocade quilt. Her red lips came to Liu Mingzhi's cheek and gave her a peck before she retreated into the quilt again.
"Are you satisfied now? You can go back. Don't rest. I'm tired and sleepy. I really don't want to move."
Young Master Liu reached out and grabbed Tao Yingzhu's round earlobe and turned it to face him.
"Perfunctory! It's just perfunctory. I don't want you to get up, but if you don't get up and tell Huan'er that girl to come over, how can I wash up?
You can't let your little brother rush home in such a mess through the streets, right?
If I meet an acquaintance, will my little brother survive?"
Tao Ying hummed a few times, and with sleepy eyes, she pointed at the tub next to the screen where she had bathed last night.
"Didn't you say that you don't dislike your sister? Just wash it off."
Young Master Liu sighed angrily and walked helplessly towards the tub.
"I wish I had not eaten the big carrot yesterday. Sure enough, after getting me, this young master will no longer be cherished."
Liu Mingzhi washed it casually with relatively clean bath water, and rinsed his mouth with the remaining herbal tea. He went back and took a look at Tao Ying, who was wrapped in a brocade quilt and breathing evenly, and understood that she was indeed tired last night.
He gently sat on the bedside and played with Tao Ying's hair for about half an hour. Then Liu Mingzhi leaned over and kissed her forehead, tucked her in, making sure that the stove would not leave
Seeing the hidden danger, he turned around and walked towards the door.
After leaving Li's house without any hindrance, Young Master Liu, except that he felt a little awkward in his mouth, rushed towards Liu's Mansion like a normal traveler.
After Liu Mingzhi returned to the Liu Mansion, it didn't cause any big disturbance. After all, the family had been looking down at each other all day long, and Young Master Liu was not returning home from a long trip, so there was really nothing to be excited about.
In the next few days, Liu Mingzhi first led a group of people to worship Li Zheng. The spirits of Li Baiyu and his son in heaven, like the people all over the world, stayed at home and waited for the arrival of the New Year.
Originally, he and Chen Jie agreed to take her to see Li Ye years ago, but the day the Queen gave birth was getting closer day by day, so Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to tell Chen Jie that the trip would have to be postponed.
After Chen Jie knew the reason, although she was a little regretful that she could not leave as scheduled, she was not dissatisfied. After all, it was more important for the Queen to give birth than to see her son Li Ye who was safe and sound.
Although they visited He Shu and Tao Ying again during this period, because the Spring Festival was approaching, the two women knew that Liu Mingzhi, as the head of the family, must be busy for the whole family.
Without giving Liu Mingzhi any chance to take advantage, he drove him back directly.
New Year's Eve.
Liu Mingzhi finished reviewing the last document of the year and walked out of the study room while stretching.
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly as he looked at Liu Yunxin, Liu Zhengran, Liu Zhenghao, An Daier... these little guys each grabbing a few snowballs and chasing each other in the garden.
Andel has stayed in the capital since her father, An Gouer, and her mother set sail again to patrol the West.
It's just that since this girl met her aunt An Xin, she has been living with her aunt in the house of the second oldest brother next door, Liu Mingli. She only comes to her yard when she is looking for Liu Yunxin, Liu Lingyun and the others to have fun.
Liu Mingzhi often leaves early and comes home late. Although he can see her a lot, it's not too many.
However, this girl never gave up on her. Every time they met, she called her uncle and uncle.
"Lian'er!"
Qinglian, who was carrying a tray and walking towards the Queen's Courtyard, heard her husband's voice, immediately stopped, smiled and walked towards her husband.
"Husband, are you finished working in the study?"
"You're done! What are you doing here? What are you serving?"
Qinglian lowered her head and glanced at the porridge bowl in her hand: "Sister Wanyan's delivery date is getting closer day by day, and she can't tell when she will give birth.
Sister Ya, we took turns cooking porridge to replenish qi and blood, and today I sent it to Sister Wanyan to replenish her body, so as not to have insufficient blood on the day of delivery."
Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly: "Thank you for your hard work, sisters. I will go with you as my husband. Let's talk as we walk."
"Okay, good husband, I'll invite you first."
"Silly, let's go together. Come on, my husband is holding the tray. You hold your hand slowly."
"Okay, husband, you have to be careful. I won't be happy if you reveal your identity!"
"My husband is not that stupid. In terms of days, Wanyuan's delivery time is as short as three to five days, and as long as ten days and a half.
She is no younger than she was when she was pregnant with the baby. I hope God will bless them, mother and child, or mother and daughter, in safety!"
"Husband, don't worry. Mr. Sai checked Sister Wanyan's pulse three days ago and said there was nothing wrong with the fetal air.
My mother will definitely be safe."
"That's right. Wanyan is a martial artist after all. His body and bones are much stronger than those of Bizhu, Lingyi, and Xiaoxi, so he will definitely be fine.
By the way, Lian'er, I have something I want to tell you. After listening to your thoughts, I will decide whether to do it or not."
"Ah? What are you discussing with me?"
"Yes, something to discuss with you."
Qinglian looked at her husband curiously: "Just say what you want to say. As long as it's not a serious problem, I can agree to anything."
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a while and said, "Lian'er, Chengfeng will be eighteen years old soon, and it seems that he has reached the age to start a family and start a business.
When he can get married and have children, what do you think about letting us Chengfeng marry a foreign wife like his Uncle Jiang He?"
Qinglian paused in her steps and looked at her husband blankly, unable to realize what her husband meant.
"Foreign...foreign wife? What do you mean?"
Liu Mingzhi also stopped and explained again: "Just like Jiang He's wife Luya, her husband calls her a foreign wife."
Qinglian understood the meaning of foreign wife, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"She's the wife of a barbarian girl, is that what you mean?"
"It can be understood this way, but the so-called barbarians or not barbarians are just the current term. Maybe one day in the future, they will become the common people of my Celestial Protectorate.
The girl I'm talking about is almost the same as Chengfeng in terms of status and status.
Of course, if you don't want Chengfeng's bloodline to have barbarian blood in the future, just treat it as your husband and say nothing.
If you don't agree, my husband will completely respect your opinion and let Chengfeng choose a good wife from a girl from a famous Dalong family or a noble family."
Qinglian shook her head hurriedly: "I didn't mean that, nor did I mean to look down on barbarian women.
After all, as a saint from the Miao territory, I am half Miao, and to the people of the Han family, I am half Yi.
Sister Wanyan and Sister Yunyao, aren't they both of Han family blood?
In fact, these are not important. After all, the world is now unified and all races are united. They are all your subjects, husband. There is no difference between them.
I just frowned because you said it too suddenly, and I didn’t react, so I subconsciously frowned in surprise."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qinglian curiously: "Then you agree?"
Qinglian shook her head, and then nodded: "I can't say that I completely agree, but I don't really object to anything.
Foreign daughter-in-law, this sounds quite interesting!
But whether it can work or not depends mainly on Feng'er's ideas.
Anyway, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
As she spoke, Qinglian gestured toward the garden with her lips raised: "Dai'er is the blood of brother Jiang He and sister Lu Ya, and both my sisters like this girl very much.
The children have never intentionally distanced themselves from her because her hair and eyes are different, and they completely treat her as an older sister or younger sister.
If the girl Chengfeng told you could give birth to such a cute and well-behaved granddaughter, I would have no objection at all.
After all, even my husband, the king of the country, recognizes that my future daughter-in-law’s identity and appearance must be extraordinary, do I have any reason to disagree?”
"Okay, Lian'er, your husband can rest assured with your words. Let's see what Chengfeng means next.
Come on, let’s go and deliver porridge to Wanyan first.”
