Lu Ze chuckled and replied, "It should be in the next two days. Your Majesty has agreed with me that the position of Dali Temple Minister will be mine."

Qi Yuning smiled with her phoenix eyes, "Congratulations to Mr. Lu Si, congratulations to Mr. Lu Si."

Lu Ze carried Lingling and went to draw a kite. The temperature rose during the Qingming Festival, which was a good time to fly a kite.

Lingling wanted a big kite, and Lu Ze indulged her. He ordered Deqing to cut some bamboo bones and make a kite taller than Lingling.

Qi Yuning saw the kite made by the father and daughter and said, "This kite is too big. I'm afraid it won't be able to fly."

Lingling said: "It will definitely fly. Daddy can fly, right Daddy?"

Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Yes, it can fly."

Qi Yuning made a small kite and drew a little Lingling on it.

Lingling cried out: "Mom, is that Lingling you drew?"

Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Yeah."

Lingling took the kite in Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Lingling likes mother's kite."

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "In two days it will be your father's birthday, so you can take a day off. Then we can go fly a kite."

Lingling smiled and said, "Lingling really wants Daddy's birthday to come soon."

Lingling had been looking forward to Lu Ze's birthday. Lu Ze did not hold a birthday banquet this year. Firstly, Madam Lu was not feeling well and it was not convenient for the younger generation to celebrate her birthday. Secondly, today was not a day off for the court and it was inconvenient to invite anyone to the banquet.

Lu Ze only invited his two good friends, Qin Feng and Lin Jiang, to have lunch at Qingfeng Tower. In the afternoon, he took Lingling to Longhua Mountain to fly kites.

Before Lu Ze left, Lingling pulled his sleeve and said, "Daddy, Lingling wants to go with you. Lingling is afraid that you won't come back."

Lu Ze whispered, "Daddy is going to have lunch with Uncle Lin Jiang and Uncle Qin Feng. After lunch, he will come back and take you to fly a kite."

Lingling held Lu Ze's sleeve tightly and said, "Lingling also wants to go to dinner with Daddy."

Qi Yuning watched Lingling being so clingy, picked her up and said, "Let's go, Lin Jiang and Qin Feng are not outsiders, let's go eat together."

Lu Ze said: "Okay."

The three of them arrived at Qingfeng Tower. As soon as they entered the door, Lu Ze felt that the eyes of others looking at him were very strange.

Qi Yuning also felt something was wrong, so he carried Lingling upstairs and into the private room.

When Qin Feng and Lin Jiang saw Lu Ze, their eyes were filled with feelings that it was not worth it for Lu Ze.

Qi Yuning put Lingling down and asked, "Why are you two looking at Lu Ze like that?"

"Princess." Qin Feng and Lin Jiang saluted Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

Lu Ze walked to the main seat, looked at his two friends and said, "We have been brothers for many years. Just tell me what you want to say."

Qin Feng clenched his hands and said, "Your Majesty left the court early today, and the Crown Prince presided over the court. The nine ministers submitted a letter to the Supreme Court, and His Highness decided on Yu An."

Qi Yuning frowned and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has chosen Yu An? How can Yu An be a good match?"

Lin Jiang said slowly, "Uncle Qin said that the Dali Temple Minister must be a Jinshi. Lu Ze has no meritorious service and he entered the Dali Temple by relying on his ancestor's influence. He is not worthy of being the Dali Temple Minister."

Qi Yuning frowned, "Although Lu Ze is not a Jinshi, he has been a Shaoqing for almost two years and has solved countless cases of grievances. It is only natural for Lu Ze to be the Dali Temple Minister now."

Lu Ze was not as angry as Qi Yuning. He just said calmly, "I'm young and not in a hurry to get promoted."

"Don't worry, I don't want to be just a lady." Qi Yuning frowned and said, "From a moral and rational point of view, both public and private, the court and the public have recognized that the position of Dali Temple Minister is yours. His Majesty has always favored you. I will go to the palace to find His Majesty!"

Today is Lu Ze's birthday. There is no reason for Your Majesty to give your grandson such a heavy blow.

Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "It's already been decided. It's not right to make a fuss. If you think Shu Ren sounds bad, don't you still have the Crown Prince's Consort? And there's also the future Duke's Wife, who can always be the wife."

Seeing Qi Yuning was angry, Lin Jiang also advised: "Princess, with Lu Shizi's ability, he may become the Minister of Justice in the future. He has a bright future. Lu Ze is indeed a little young."

Qi Yuning said: "When Qin Feng became a minister, he was only a young man. What do you mean by young? Didn't you also become a Hanlin Academy scholar at a young age?"

Since the reign of Emperor Jing'an, our dynasty has never been restricted by age.

Even if we take Lu Ze's young age into consideration, he is going to get married, and he has long been no different from the Minister of the Dali Temple.

This time, the case of the King of Shu was also presided over by him. He has made all the contributions and efforts, and his reputation is very high. Why can't he be the Minister of the Dali Temple?

Lingling said from the side: "Mom, don't be angry."

"Someone bullied your father, and mother couldn't help but be angry."

Lingling raised her eyes to look at Lu Ze and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, who bullied you? Lingling, use the little wooden sword to beat him up!"

Lin Jiang chuckled and said, "Lingling is really amazing."

Lu Ze coaxed Ling Ling and said, "No one bullied Daddy, Princess. You really don't have to be angry about this. The court officials have their own considerations for promotion and demotion."

Qi Yuning looked directly at Lu Ze and said, "Your Majesty's meaning was very clear before. As long as you get married, you can become the Minister of Dali Temple. How come you can't become the Minister of Dali Temple now that you are married? You should go to His Majesty and ask him clearly."

Lu Ze said, "Forget it, you don't have to be so angry. I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to do this after careful consideration."

Qi Yuning said, "Even if Li He became the Supreme Court Justice, I wouldn't be so angry. So what right does Yu An have? I wonder how proud Qin Yuli will be."

Yu An is Qin Yuli's uncle, and now he's Lu Ze's boss. It's hard to say whether Qin Yuli will trip up Lu Ze in the future.

Lu Ze comforted Qi Yuning and said, "Calm down and have your meal."

"I'm full of anger."

Lin Jiang and Qin Feng glanced at Qi Yuning and decided it would be inappropriate to keep her for dinner, so they gave Lu Ze a look and left.

After his two friends left, Lu Ze stood up and walked to Qi Yuning, looked into her eyes and said, "Yuning, I know you are standing up for me, but I really don't mind.

Just as you said, now everyone in the Dali Temple obeys me. Even if Yu An becomes the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he can't do anything to me?

Firstly, I have more prestige than him in the Dali Temple. Secondly, I am the eldest son of the Lu family, so he doesn't dare to make things difficult for me.

The one we should really worry about is Yu An, who has the title of Temple Minister but not the power."

Qi Yuning gradually felt better with Lu Ze's comfort. "I'm not so angry because of the title of Consort. I'm just feeling sorry for you. The Qin family chose your birthday to humiliate you."

Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning into his arms and said, "I know."

Seeing Lu Ze and Qi Yuning hugging each other, Lingling said coquettishly, "Lingling wants to be hugged by mommy too."

Lu Ze lowered his eyes to glance at Lingling and said, "Lingling is old now. She doesn't need to be hugged anymore."

Lingling's eyes widened, "But Daddy is obviously much older than Lingling! Why do you still let Mommy hold you?"
