Chapter 286 Promoted to Grand Commandant?

When Mu Qing returned, he didn't disturb Hu Xin'er who was painting. When he saw the finished painting on the table, he was immediately astonished: "It's only been an hour or two, and the painting has already been restored?"

Hu Xin'er came back to her senses from that mysterious feeling and was also stunned by what she had drawn for a moment. Then she turned her head to look at Mu Qing: "How do you know this painting has been restored?"

Mu Qing smiled and said, "Yin Li spent a long time looking at this painting today, so I took a look at it too."

He praised: "I never thought my wife had such talent. She was able to seamlessly connect this burned painting."

Indeed, every detail of this painting fits perfectly, and even when it blends with the previous author's brushstrokes, they are extremely similar, which can be said to be a perfect connection.

Yin Li also ran over and praised Hu Xin'er: "Yes, the original painting was like this!"

Hu Xin'er complained, "Don't you remember what the original painting looked like? Are you two teaming up to fool me?"

Yin Li smiled and said, "You have to have confidence in yourself. Although I don't remember exactly what the original painting looked like, I know this feeling, and it can't be wrong!"

Hu Xin'er was speechless. There was no psychological hypnosis in this painting, so how could it possibly make people forget it? Even if Yin Li was lying, no one would believe it!

Mu Qing nodded at this moment: "This painting is indeed mysterious. After seeing it, I can't remember what it is painted on at all."

Of course Hu Xiner didn't believe it, so she called a few more people to come and see the painting. As a result, those who saw it said that the painting was excellent, but they just couldn't remember the picture.

Hu Xin'er was confused. Why did everyone who saw it say that? Could it be that they were all bribed by Yin Li?

But if no one can remember the picture at all, how can she restore the painting?

After the painting was completed, the picture in her mind disappeared. Hu Xiner looked at the pen in her hand, and she always felt vaguely in her heart that perhaps all the strangeness was related to this pen.

Thinking back to the last time she talked with Mu Qing in the middle of the night, the pen also made frequent noises, she suddenly felt that this pen seemed very unusual.

So, as if possessed by some unknown force, she poked Yin Li the same way she did last time.

But Yin Li didn't react at all.

Could it be that the previous ability of this pen to hurt people was just an illusion? Hu Xin'er was confused.

After this, a few days passed in peace. The prince did not cause any trouble, and the few people did not encounter any assassination attempts. Even the weather was unexpectedly clear, like the calm before the storm.

Hu Xiner always felt uneasy, but she could only live her life as usual, taking good care of her pregnancy under Mu Qing's meticulous care.

She wanted to complain when she talked about it. Ever since she became pregnant, she had become the big treasure that the entire Lu family held in their hands for fear of dropping it, and held in their mouths for fear of melting it!

Every morning, Mu Qing would ride with her in a carriage to Wanjuan Pavilion. Both of them did not like to be served by others, and they always traveled with a small entourage.

Hu Xiner was shocked when she went out for the first time after becoming pregnant, because there were more than a dozen guards and maids around the carriage, all bowing to her!

Sitting in the car, she asked with a frown, "Why is there such a big ceremony today? I'm not used to it."

Mu Qing said seriously, "These people are all useful!"

When she got off the carriage, she originally wanted to jump out by herself as usual.

Mu Qing exclaimed, "Wait a minute!"

Then he jumped out of the carriage and carefully carried Hu Xiner down in a princess hug.

That would have been fine, but he also carried Hu Xiner all the way into the Wanjuan Pavilion!

That would be fine, but the walking speed is also very slow.

Everyone on the street looked at her sideways. Hu Xiner buried her face in Mu Qing's arms, feeling extremely embarrassed.

She whispered, "Put me down! I'm just pregnant, not a broken leg. How am I going to face people in the future if you do this?"

Mu Qing reluctantly quickened his pace under her constant urging: "I'm just worried about shaking you and the baby. Besides, you're pregnant and already have a cold. You can't get tired."

Hu Xin'er was speechless. "How could you possibly tire me to death? Besides, wasn't we just being jolted around in the carriage for so long? Anyway, put me down!"

But Mu Qing, who was always gentle, was particularly stubborn on this matter: "Don't worry, I've asked the craftsmen to rebuild the carriage and cover the wheels with soft leather. Starting tomorrow, the carriage won't shake you anymore."

Hu Xin'er hesitated for a long time before finally uttering these words with difficulty: "You are simply - mentally retarded!"

After such a grand event, the whole capital knew that Mrs. Lu was pregnant, and Master Lu was reluctant to let her go.

Carrying the child around like a princess and modifying the carriage were only a small part of Mu Qing's meticulous care.

In the past, he always went to handle government affairs before dawn, but ever since Hu Xin'er became pregnant, he would not get up until the middle of the night without fail.

If Hu Xin'er woke up early, she could still hear him nagging at her belly: "Baby, don't bother your mother in the future."

After arriving at Wanjuan Pavilion, the small kitchen in Wanjuan Pavilion was cooking all kinds of delicious food all day long under his instructions, and he almost wanted to make Hu Xiner gain 10 pounds.

…

Things like these made Hu Xiner the envy of the entire capital.

The eldest princess also wrote to her frequently, asking for the secret of controlling her husband, saying that the few tricks she learned from her last time were very useful, and the eldest princess was ready to subdue Erdong!

Hu Xiner herself is both sweet and helpless. Alas, having a husband who is too considerate is also a kind of trouble~

With the help of Yin Li, the books in the library were quickly restored within a month. Although they were not complete replicas, most of the necessary military books and ancient books were restored.

In response to this, Yin Li said very arrogantly: "This Pavilion Master only accepts valuable books. It is natural that I can't find those worthless books!"

The three of them went to report. After the emperor personally inspected the completed library, he was overjoyed and announced to the public, "Lu Yunjue has achieved such great achievements. I wish to promote him to the rank of Grand Marshal! What do you think, my dear ministers?"

The emperor was accompanied by the crown prince, the duke, and several high-ranking officials in the court. Everyone was very surprised to hear what he said.

Among civil service positions, the Grand Marshal was second only to the Prime Minister.

Mu Qing was promoted to the rank of Grand Marshal, and was only one step away from becoming the Prime Minister, and he had only been in office for a few months.

The Crown Prince secretly gnashed his teeth, but he pretended to be gentle and polite: "Father, the main contributor to the library incident this time was Yin Li, but you only rewarded Mu Qing. Isn't this a bit against the rules?"
