It was Li Mingyue who first proposed Lu Chen marrying Wei Caier.
Lu Chen didn't know what this woman was thinking, but one day she suddenly opened her mouth and talked about Lu Chen and Wei Caier's marriage.
"My dear husband, my belly is getting bigger day by day. I don't have much time to serve you anymore. It hurts to see you alone in the empty room all day. Why don't you take Cai'er back one day?"
Li Mingyue knew very well that even if the royal family agreed to her and Lu Chen having a child, Lu Chen would never be her consort.
Being a royal consort is almost equivalent to keeping someone in captivity. Who could keep someone as capable as Lu Chen in captivity?
So Lu Chen will definitely get married in the future, and he will have to marry a legal wife.
Since this kind of thing cannot be stopped, Li Mingyue plans to be more proactive. Why not choose a sister that she likes?
After this period of contact, she felt that Wei Caier was a very good person.
She is Wei Yong's daughter. This label alone makes it suitable for Wei Caier to marry anyone.
If it weren't for the broken engagement, Lu Chen might not have been qualified to marry Wei Caier. At least Wei Yong would definitely look down on Lu Chen.
So it really is all fate, as if God has arranged it all.
However, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later. At least until your child is born, I don't intend to consider this or that matter."
Yes, Lu Chen is such a simple and unpretentious good man.
Even when his wife wanted to introduce him to a woman, he refused.
It's not that I'm really pure and innocent, it's just that I'm not in the mood.
Giving birth these days is like going through the gates of hell. Before Li Mingyue gave birth safely, Lu Chen had no other thoughts.
After hearing Lu Chen's answer, Li Mingyue was overjoyed.
How many women are willing to share their husbands? If it weren't for the current social atmosphere, Li Mingyue would have wanted to be tied to Lu Chen every day.
Li Mingyue kissed Lu Chen hard on the cheek and helped him fix his hair. "I heard that Gondor has been making some moves these past couple of days. It's been quite a commotion."
Lu Chen had always been paying attention to Gondor. He nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that he's been busy debating with the great scholars of the Imperial Academy these past few days."
"How was it? How was his level? Did he win?" Li Mingyue continued to ask curiously.
"Win? Are you kidding me? Just relying on him? That's too much. At best, it's a draw. Winning is definitely impossible. No matter how talented he is, he can't compete with the people of Da Qi in Confucianism."
"Then why does he still want to compete?"
"Perhaps this was to prove that Liao and Jin were not barbaric nations, and to pave the way for what he was going to do next."
Just as Lu Chen said, Gondor has been debating in the Imperial College these days. Although he has not trampled on the Imperial College, his knowledge has been recognized by the Imperial College.
With such a foundation, what he has to do next will be much easier.
Sure enough, a few days later, Gondor suddenly reappeared in the court. He bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "Our king has heard that Da Qi is rich in natural resources and has many talented people. It just so happens that three questions have been bothering our king for some time. I wonder if anyone in Da Qi can solve these three problems."
Li Zhuo has also been paying attention to Gondor these two days, until Gondor was so engrossed in Lu Chen's industry that he relaxed his vigilance.
Hearing that some problems had stumped the rulers of Liao and Jin, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh? I wonder what kind of problem has troubled your Majesty. Why don't you tell us about it and let us hear it? You see, the court is full of capable people, civil and military. They will definitely be able to help you solve your problem."
For some reason, when the six ministers heard Li Zhuo take on so much responsibility, they all felt a pang in their hearts.
But now that Lu Chen and Wei Yong are gone, no one can stop the emperor from speaking.
This was what Gondor had been waiting for. He chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to bring some things up."
Li Zhuo waved his hand generously and said, "Okay!"
Soon the food was served. Gondor took out a glass bottle and said, "Our king really likes your country's wine. One day, he drank a whole bottle and passed out. When he woke up, he found a peeled, whole, cooked egg in the bottle. Our king really wants to know how the egg got in there!"
In fact, when Gondor took out this bottle, someone had already noticed that there was something in the bottle.
After Gondor finished his introduction, many people stared at the bottle in amazement.
This bottle has a narrow mouth. How can an egg be stuffed in there intact? How is this possible? Unless it’s some magical power!
Li Zhuo, who had been looking lazy, was now sitting upright.
He suddenly realized that Gondor's next problems would probably not be simple.
Sure enough, Gondor picked up two more objects and said, "Please look, everyone, these are two hemispheres. When they are put together, they will become a complete iron ball. I have heard that the generals of the Great Qi are extremely powerful. So, after the two hemispheres are closed, can you please pull them apart?"
The civil officials were still wondering how the egg got into the bottle, but the military generals laughed and said it was not difficult.
Gondor also nodded with a smile, and then ordered people to put the two hemispheres together.
There is a tube connected to both ends of the hemisphere, I don’t know what it is used for.
After the two hemispheres were combined, Gondor bowed to the generals and said, "Please come in!"
"Hahaha, how difficult is that? I'll go first!"
The person who spoke was a big man in his thirties. Looking at his waistline which was equal to his height, one could tell that he must be a powerful warrior.
He first looked up and down at the ball in front of him, then grabbed the handles on both sides of the ball, took a firm horse stance, lowered his shoulders and exerted force, and shouted, "Go!"
Then everyone noticed that the ball didn't move at all, but the general's face was flushed red, and no one knew whether it was because he was tired or excited!
The generals looked at each other in bewilderment. Logically speaking, anyone who could stand up was confident in his own strength. Who could have thought that he would fail?
At this time, another person stood up and said, "Get out of the way! You're embarrassing yourself! This isn't that difficult! Open it for me!"
There was another loud shout, but just like the previous situation, the iron ball did not move at all. Instead, the general who was pulling the iron ball became so embarrassed that his face turned red.
Seeing this, Gondor laughed heartily and said, "This is truly a case of seeing is believing. It's only a hemisphere, yet you all can't break away. Could it be that the generals of the Great Qi are only at this level?"
The six ministers looked at each other and thought to themselves, I know this guy has bad intentions!
