Qi Yuning fell asleep in Lu Ze's arms. Perhaps Lu Ze was too tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep as soon as he got into bed.
Qi Yuning reached out and touched his face, which was similar to Lingling's. She used to think that it was because of Lingling that she had a good impression of Lu Ze's face from the beginning.
In fact, she thought that if Lingling wasn't there, she would still fall in love with Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning leaned forward and kissed Lu Ze's lips. After kissing for a while, she got a response from Lu Ze.
Lu Ze said in a hoarse voice, "Ningning, don't provoke me. I don't want to take another cold shower. Also, Brother Qi Wang plans to rest for three days before heading to Shangzhou. We hope to arrive in Shengjing City by the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Qi Yuning said: "I don't want you to take a cold bath, I can help you."
Lu Ze's eyes lit up, and the fatigue from fighting for days seemed to be swept away at this moment.
Everything in the Princess's Mansion's side rooms is luxurious; even the bed is carved from the finest golden nanmu wood. When Qi Yuning made this bed, he hired a famous old carpenter from Chang'an.
The carpenter thought she was making a bed for her dowry. The top of the bed was carved with a hundred children playing, and on both sides were carved two lotus flowers.
Outside, the sky gradually darkened, and two big red candles were placed in the house, like wedding candles.
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "Aren't you waiting to get married?"
Qi Yuning said, "I always encounter problems before getting married, so it's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's get married today and worship heaven and earth here, okay?"
Lu Ze said, "That would be unfair to you."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I'm not afraid of being wronged."
Qi Yuning pulled Lu Ze off the bed and asked the maid outside to bring a wine pot and two wine glasses for the wedding wine.
Qi Yuning poured the wine into the glasses, gave one to Lu Ze, and took the other for himself, saying, "Do you remember the old Taoist priest at the beginning of the year? He said that any wedding day is an auspicious day. Today, we have captured Chang'an City, which is even more auspicious."
Lu Ze took the wine glass handed to him by Qi Yuning, put his arm around Qi Yuning, and drank the wine in the glass.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and drank the wine in the glass.
After Qi Yuning got on the bed, she felt dizzy and fell directly into Lu Ze's arms. Seeing Qi Yuning fall asleep, Lu Ze called out, "Ningning?"
After a while, Lu Ze also felt dizzy and fell on the bed.
In the guest house of the princess's mansion.
When Zhong Ding saw the maid come to Qi Yu'an to report that the princess had taken the medicine and had fallen asleep, he asked curiously, "Why did the prince give the princess the drug?"
Qi Yu'an said: "If you have a sister, you should also drug her."
Zhong Ding smiled and said, "I have a younger sister, but I won't drug her. Isn't it a bit radical to want to go to Shengjing before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Qi Yu'an looked towards Beicheng and said, "I want to see A Ping and my child as soon as possible!"
Zhong Ding could also understand Qi Yu'an's eagerness to return home, "Your Highness, according to the spies from Prince Ning and Prince Liao's side, the Ning Palace's troops are almost completely defeated, and Prince Liao is entrenched in a corner of Liaozhou and is no longer a major threat. Have you thought about who you want to support to take the throne?
The Zhao royal family is now without a wise leader. The remaining Prince Jin is a businessman obsessed with profit and unfit to be a ruler. Prince Xu enjoys romantic affairs, and although he has recruited a number of scholars, he may not be a wise ruler. If we support Prince Shou, his kindness may allow him to accommodate the unlimited power of our Qi family army in North City."
Zhong Ming said: "Prince Shou is too kind. It is not appropriate for a person who is too kind to be an emperor. But it is true that if a new emperor takes the throne, our Qi family army will be wary of him!"
Zhu Feng said from the side, "Your Highness, I think what Brother Zhong and Brother Zhong said makes sense. Instead of waiting for the new emperor to be wary of our Qi Family Army, it would be better for our Qi Family Army to become the ruler of the world. You married the Zhao Family Princess, and now that Ah Ping has given birth to a descendant of the Zhao Family, you can legitimately seize the throne and become the ruler of the world!"
Zhu Yang glanced at his younger brother, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I think what my younger brother said makes sense. Now that Emperor Shiyuan has passed away, no matter which new emperor of the Zhao family ascends the throne, they will regard our Qi family army as a thorn in their side. Why don't you seize the throne and we will respect you as emperor."
Qi Yu'an frowned and angrily scolded: "It's better for you to say less of this kind of thing in the future. The Qi family has always been loyal and will never be a villain who tries to usurp the throne!"
Zhong Ding said, "Your Highness, we are only protecting ourselves. Although the First Emperor has been very kind to our Qi Army, if he was truly so kind, he wouldn't have promoted the Qin family so much. Isn't it because he is afraid that the Crown Prince will have hidden dangers from our Qi Army in the future? If even the First Emperor is like this, the new emperor will definitely not let us go!"
Zhu Yang said: "We have sacrificed so many brothers, Your Majesty, as long as you give the order, we brothers will help you ascend the throne!"
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "It's late, you can all leave!"
…
When Qi Yuning woke up, it was already noon the next day. She felt her hands were numb when she woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ze beside her. Her movement woke Lu Ze up.
Lu Ze woke up with a start and said, "Someone put something in my wine last night."
Qi Yuning asked, "Who dares to put something in my drink in the Princess's Mansion?"
Lu Ze smiled and said, "The only one who dares to do that is Brother Qi Wang."
Qi Yuning didn't say much. She asked a maid to help her wash up, and then she went to Qi Yu'an's study with Lu Ze, who was wearing a wig.
Qi Yu'an saw Qi Yuning coming over and said, "Sister, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"
Qi Yuning gritted his teeth and said, "Thanks to you, I had the best sleep since I left North City."
