Chapter 395 Marriage
Lu Jing responded to every request of Su Qingwan, and after a trip to Xilin, he immediately dealt with court affairs. He didn't get a good rest, so he took this opportunity to have a good rest.
Su Qingwan was very happy. She had not had such a pleasant life since she became pregnant. She was full of worries while carrying the child and was also worried about the war situation in Huainan. She was under a lot of pressure. Now the child was safe and healthy, and Lu Jing was back. She was happy. Lu Jing was resting at home, and the two did not do anything. When they had nothing to do, they played chess and fished together. When they were tired, they slept or read. Qingyun also invited a troupe to perform at the house. Lu Jing and Su Qingwan did not see outsiders. Their life was free and happy like gods, and it was very comfortable.
Xiao Yu'er was in good health, so he was occasionally brought out to bask in the sun. The family of three lived a very peaceful life. Nian Qing occasionally came to the house for meals and discussed the situation in the court with Lu Jing. Su Qingwan did not participate, but only told him to resolve it as soon as possible and return to Huainan early.
The civil servants in Huainan had actually always wanted to meet Su Qingwan, but Su Qingwan had avoided them. She was now Lu Jing's wife, no longer the Princess of Huainan. The three factions were in a tense negotiation, so it was not convenient for them to meet privately, lest they be criticized. Nian Qing also brought it up, but Su Qingwan didn't respond. He understood. Nian Qing had grown up in the mountains, but he was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.
That day, after Nian Qing had his meal and left, Su Qingwan accompanied Lu Jing for a walk in the courtyard. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You specifically let me take a rest. Don't you want me to get too involved in Huainan's affairs?"
Su Qingwan was startled, then smiled and nodded, not denying it. "Nianqing's status is special, and His Highness will mediate for him. Although you are the regent, it is very awkward. The royalists think that your marriage to Huainan is not necessarily wholeheartedly for the royal family, and the Huainan civil servants will think that you are only marrying into a relationship, and as the regent, you are in a high position and must protect your power. It's a dilemma for both of you, so it's better to be an idler, rest at home, and take good care of your health."
Lu Jing chuckled. He knew what Su Qingwan was worried about, and he knew it was all for his own good. It was actually a good thing for him not to get too involved in their affairs. The eldest princess should just worry about it. After all, he was her son, and the empire of her Li family. If he made the wrong decision, Lu Jing couldn't be blamed.
Lu Jing accompanied Su Qingwan to watch a play and then went fishing. She didn't ask him to care about Huainan's affairs, so Lu Jing really didn't care about them and concentrated on staying at home with her and Xiao Yuer.
A few days later, the originally noisy court situation unexpectedly took a turn for the better, everything was settled, and both sides were very satisfied.
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, "Did you expect this a long time ago?"
Su Qingwan laughed, "It's human nature. You are actually an outsider, and you will be guarded against and targeted. It's better to let them handle the battle. The dispute between Huainan and Xilin is not your main battlefield. You want to use your strengths in the court after Nianqing returns. Now that these interests are involved, we can just stay out of it."
"Madam, you are so smart! I admire you!" Lu Jing joked, "Then I might as well stay at home and rest for a while."
"Alright!"
Su Qingwan naturally wanted it more than she could ask for. She wished he could rest every day. Lu Jing was too smart. She was afraid that the civil servants in Huainan would be helpless. The eldest princess would more or less side with Nian Qing, but Lu Jing might not.
However, Su Qingwan did not expect that at the end of the negotiations, the Xilin royal family actually proposed a marriage, and they wanted to marry Nian Qing.
