"Old minister, I congratulate you in advance on your annihilation of Xixia."
Gongsun Yun bowed very solemnly.
The empress smiled and said: "Lao Zhuguo has so much confidence in Long Chengen? He said that Xixia would be used as a bride price, and you believed it?"
Gongsun Yun smiled and said: "I believe that Long Chengen has this strength, and he will do this for the fourth princess."
First of all, Long Chen can do what he says, this is the most fundamental thing.
Otherwise, it's just talk. Gongsun Yun firmly believes that Long Chen has this strength.
Secondly, Long Chen is willing to do this for Di Luoxi, and the relationship between the two is deep enough.
The empress was very happy and said: "Okay, I will accept Lao Zhuguo's congratulations."
"Tell Long Chengen that I will accept the memorial and the lottery, so prepare well."
"Hao Shangshu, for the following etiquette, you and Long Chengen should go and meet."
Hao Zhiwen immediately bowed and said, "Wei ministers accept the decree."
Gongsun Yun stood up and bowed: "Old minister, please retire."
The empress stood up and escorted Gongsun Yun out of Fengming Palace.
Hao Zhiwen and Gongsun Yun walked together and exclaimed: "King Wu is so courageous. He takes the destruction of a country as a betrothal gift. This is the only gift in the world."
Hao Zhiwen was shocked by Long Chen's courage.
How brave is it for a man to destroy a country just to marry a woman?
"It would be great if the daughter of a lower official could meet such a wishful husband in the future."
Hao Zhiwen thought that his daughter was still young, otherwise she would just marry Long Chen.
Look at Li Junjun, he was originally a loser, but he relied on Bai Tingting to rise through the ranks.
Although Hao Zhiwen has reached the position of Minister, the Ministry of Rites is not considered a good government office.
Being an official depends not only on rank, but also on position.
Hao Zhiwen's rank reached the level of Shangshu, but his position was in the Ministry of Rites, not a department with real power.
He also thought of the bureaucracies such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.
Gongsun Yun said with a smile: "Hao Shangshu, I am not here to pour cold water on you. The so-called well-matched family, a hero like Long Chengen, except the princess, no one else is worthy."
Hao Zhiwen didn't think there was anything wrong with Gongsun Yun's words, nor did he think Gongsun Yun was throwing cold water on him. That was the fact.
"Yes, besides the princess, who else can be worthy of such a character?"
Hao Zhiwen sighed repeatedly.
"Lao Zhuguo, what happens next..."
Gongsun Yun said: "As for the following matters, you should discuss it with Long Chengen first. I will be Long Chengen's elder this time. If you are not sure, you can ask me."
Gongsun Yunzhen regarded Long Chen's marriage as his own business.
Hao Zhiwen bowed and said, "I will obey my orders."
When he walked to the door, Gongsun Yun didn't see Long Chen, so he asked the maid next to him: "Where is King Wu?"
The palace maid looked around and said, "I don't know."
Hao Zhiwen said: "Perhaps King Wu will go back first?"
Gongsun Yun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe I went to the fourth princess's place."
Fengming Palace was not far from the West Palace, and Gongsun Yun thought that Long Chen had gone to Emperor Luoxi's palace.
"That makes sense."
Hao Zhiwen showed a meaningful smile.
Gongsun Yun smiled and said: "Young men, let's go back first."
The two of them left the palace and returned home.
In the side hall.
Ruxuan stood up in a panic, put on her clothes carefully, and carefully removed the traces on the couch.
Long Chen arranged his clothes, hugged Ruxuan from behind, and kissed her fair neck.
"How? Is it what you thought?"
Ruxuan said shyly: "It's a little different, but just like the rumors, King Wu is really powerful..."
Long Chen patted Ruxuan's body and said with a smile: "Go back, it's time for your Master Di to arrive."
Ruxuan immediately left the side hall and returned to her room to tidy up.
Not long after Ruxuan left, Di Waner came in wearing a blue jacquard dress.
Seeing Long Chen, Di Waner's eyes were burning, and she could see the burning desire in her heart.
"The place Master Di found is good. There is a couch inside. Does Master Di want to rest here?"
Long Chen laughed and joked.
Di Waner looked at no one outside, bit her red lips lightly, and said, "You promised me back then..."
At the beginning, Long Chen promised Di Waner that when he turned back into a man, he would give her a piece of the pie.
"I keep my word."
Long Chen stepped forward and carried Di Waner into the inner room, where the couch had been tidied up.
"You can't treat me like a princess."
Di Waner suddenly felt very nervous.
The news that Di Luoxi returned to the palace in a carriage spread throughout the palace, and Di Wan'er was afraid that she would also become bedridden.
"This... I'm afraid it's hard to be sure. If you fail, you may be more serious than the princess."
Long Chen deliberately smiled and joked.
Di Waner blocked Long Chen and said, "Princess, you can rest. I have to serve the Holy Lord every day, so I can't do that."
Long Chen was just joking and didn't really want to make Di Wan'er as bedridden as Di Luoxi.
"I have a sense of propriety in serving Master Di."
Long Chen smiled and untied Di Waner's dress.
After the storm, Long Chen helped Di Waner, who had messy hair.
The close-fitting clothes were wrinkled, and clothes were scattered on the floor and the couch.
"Let me put it on for you."
Long Chen tried his best to control his strength, but Di Waner still seemed unable to hold on.
Compared to Di Luoxi and Wu Chuchu, Di Waner's body is obviously much weaker.
"I finally know why the fourth princess behaved like that."
Di Waner felt like she had narrowly escaped death.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't be so exaggerated, I am a very gentle person."
After helping Di Waner get dressed, Long Chen helped her out of the side hall.
When they got outside, Di Waner didn't dare to let Long Chen support her anymore, for fear of being seen.
"Okay, I'll go back by myself."
"Let me see you off. You can't even walk well."
"No, being seen is no joke."
Long Chen could only watch Di Waner walk away slowly.
...
West Palace.
Su Yourong slowly helped Di Luoxi up, while Qingyue cooked red date soup and brought it over.
"Princess, drink a bowl of red date soup. This soup nourishes the blood."
Su Yourong took a spoon and fed Di Luoxi soup.
"Auntie, I'm actually fine. There's no need to lie down."
Di Luoxi found that although she looked a little scary at the time, she recovered quickly.
It looked bloody at the time, much like the wounds left on the battlefield.
But after a little sleep, he almost recovered.
"Don't be careless, you should take good care of yourself."
Su Yourong insisted that Di Luoxi finish drinking the red date soup.
Di Luoxi had no choice but to finish the drink.
Su Yourong put away the bowl and helped Di Luoxi get dressed and get out of bed.
"Princess!"
Qingyue ran in from outside and said excitedly: "Princess, Xiao Longlong has proposed marriage, and Lao Zhuguo has submitted the memorial for Xiao Longlong."
"The Holy One also approved it, and the order will be handled by the Ministry of Etiquette."
Di Luoxi was very happy to hear that Long Chenru had invited Gongsun Yun to be a matchmaker to propose marriage.
"He has a conscience."
"Auntie, there is a marriage proposal in Prince Wu's Mansion. There must be a lot of things going on. You should go back and help your husband. I'm afraid he will be too tired."
Once the wedding begins, many things must be prepared. It is indeed more appropriate for Su Yourong to go back and take charge of the affairs in the backyard.
Su Yourong said, "Princess is also afraid that King Wu will be tired. She won't tire him out when doing things. I'm worried that the group of little goblins in the backyard will eat him up and wipe him clean."
Di Luoxi said: "It's a good idea to tidy things up so that you don't have too much energy."
"You should go back and help the palace with things. Without you to control the palace maids, I don't know what the trouble will be like."
This is true, Long Chen and the palace maid were fooling around, often forgetting their dignity and inferiority.
If Su Yourong didn't care, there would definitely be a commotion.
"Then I'll go back first. Princess, take good care of yourself."
