Chapter 398 Lian Qianli's Depression

A severe drought, a treacherous minister, the birth of a princess and prince, and then, sweet rain from the heavens...

All the topics came together, and everyone, no matter who they were, could say a few words.

These topics have been a hot topic in Beijing for a long time.

In less than half a month, memorials from all over the Chongqing region were delivered.

The memorials all stated that on the day the princess and prince were born, torrential rains fell in various places.

A heavy rain soaked the entire Chongqing area, and the previous drought conditions suddenly disappeared.

And the rumors that arose from the drought were all debunked.

Almost every person in Chongqing firmly believes this.

Their emperor was the chosen one, the Son of Heaven, ordained by Heaven to be the emperor of Dayu.

Otherwise, how could the throne have fallen so suddenly onto the original seventh prince, who had remained so firmly seated on it?

Those who speak ill of the emperor are malicious and do not wish well for the Great Yu Dynasty...

As the Spring Festival Gala becomes increasingly popular, its host, Lian Qianli, is feeling somewhat down.

Recently, due to the large number of guests at the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Qingyue has been sorting through the messages sent from various places at the mansion.

Lian Qianli, unable to find anyone to talk to, was seething with anger.

He felt that the capital city was so big, but there was no longer a place for him to stay.

During the late spring, all you could hear were people praising the princes and princesses.

Lian Qianli felt a pang of sadness thinking that the emperor, who was so much younger than him, had both a son and a daughter.

Then he thought about going to see his sister who lived in the other house...

As a result, he encountered Huangfu Ruolang, who wished he could stay there forever.

The boy was holding his nephew, Hua Manlou, and teaching him to call him "father"...

Thinking that he and Hua Wanli were siblings born of the same mother and that they had come out around the same time, Lian Qianli felt even more distressed.

He then took some trinkets he had collected from Jiangnan and went to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to find Shen Qingyue.

As it turned out, Shen Qingyue was playing with her little nephew...

Everything was so beautiful, yet so dazzling.

Even the usually carefree and cheerful Qianli was depressed...

He turned around and went back to Chunbuwan, intending to have a few more drinks and get thoroughly drunk.

Then, when he woke up the next day, he was back to being the carefree Lian Qianli.

He hadn't even had two drinks when he received two letters.

One of the letters was sent by Wanhualou in Jiangnan.

Another letter was from the father of the assassin leader.

The contents of the letters were largely the same, conveying the same meaning.

It's just that one of them speaks more directly, and the other speaks more directly.

Hua Yueniang's letter stated very directly that Lian Qianli was hardly like her own child.

When you meet someone you like, you just stare at them without even thinking of creating an opportunity for yourself.

Can't you be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Can't you speak up for justice? Can't you flirt with someone?

So cowardly, no wonder he couldn't even become a male concubine...

Even Qianli was speechless. What on earth was this?!

If he were a woman and Shen Qingyue were a man, he would just pretend to force himself on her.

but......

After tossing Hua Yueniang's letter aside, Lian Qianli picked up the letter from the Alliance Leader.

After reading the leader's letter, he was even more speechless.

Even the leader of the alliance praised him in his letter.

He said that it was his good fortune to win the princess's favor, and also the good fortune of the Lian family.

The Lian family had been fighting and killing each other for generations, but unexpectedly, Lian Qianli's generation made a new breakthrough.

He also told Lian Qianli that a man shouldn't worry about saving face in front of the woman he loves.

Trying to save face with a woman is tantamount to courting disaster.

The example to refer to is the leader of the alliance himself.

In addition, the leader of the alliance also said that, given the special status of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Lian Qianli should be even more careful.

Since becoming a prince consort is out of the question for now, let's consider the possibility of becoming a male concubine.

Being a male concubine may not sound nice, but a man of the martial world is not one to be bothered by such trivial matters.

Anyway, let's reserve a spot first, and we'll deal with the rest later!

Of all things, the first one is always the most unforgettable.

The same applies to male concubines...

Taking things slowly and methodically is the best strategy!

Even the alliance leader himself is a good example...

After reading the two letters from Lian Qianli, I felt that no matter how much I drank, I couldn't drown my sorrows.

He crumpled up both letters and tossed them aside, then sat alone in the room, lost in thought.

But it seemed like fate was against him, not even granting him this much leisure time.

Lian Qianli, who had originally intended to sit idly like a resentful woman until dawn, was startled by the sound of knocking on the window.

Who's this blind fool? Trying to become a womanizer and coming this way?

I wonder if this is the boudoir of the young master of the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world?

Lian Qianli, who was about to throw a dart after flung open the window, was speechless when he saw the person hanging upside down in the window!

What are you doing here?

And why do you have to climb through the window when there's a perfectly good door?

"When did you develop such a bad habit?" Lian Qianli said irritably.

Huangfu Ruolang, who was originally enjoying a warm bed with his wife and son, suddenly came running over.

Huangfu Ruolang chuckled, then flipped over and jumped into Lian Qianli's room.

Looking at the clean and tidy room, which even had a faint fragrance, Huangfu Ruolang couldn't help but praise it.

“This room of yours… even a rich young lady could live here.”

Lian Qianli glared at him.

Isn't that obvious?

Wasn't he worried that Shen Qingyue might want to visit his house someday, so he was preparing in advance?

What do you want? Curfew is in effect!

It's inappropriate for the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard to be flying around on the rooftops!

"You'll easily be mistaken for a womanizer!" Lian Qianli's attitude worsened.

Although Huangfu Ruolang knew that his brother-in-law had been in a bad mood lately.

But he didn't know exactly why it was bad.

However, Hua Wanli said not to worry about it, he would figure it out himself one day.

They also said that the more they coaxed Lian Qianli, the more pretentious he became.

Even if you try to soothe her, she won't get better for ten days or half a month.

No need to coax! It'll be ready in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

So, don't worry about what he's thinking; just ignore his feelings.

"Brother-in-law! Do me a favor! While I'm away, could you please look after Wanli?" Huangfu Ruolang suddenly said.

Lian Qianli looked at Huangfu Ruolang with suspicion.

What's this kid up to?

If you want someone to take care of Hua Wanli and Hua Manlou, wouldn't it be better to let the Huangfu family take care of them?

Why would they come to me for help?

Huangfu Ruolang seemed to have figured out what Lian Qianli was thinking.

"The situation is special! I can't let anyone know that I've gone on a long trip."

If I send Wanli and Lou'er to the Huangfu family, everyone will know that I have gone on a long trip.

"This trip must be kept secret from outsiders!" Huangfu Ruolang said solemnly.
