On the first morning after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the sunlight came in through the carved window lattices and fell on the vermilion bed curtains.
Lu Yunting supported his chin and looked at Jiang Yueyang who was sleeping beside him lovingly, with a gentle smile on his lips.
The sunlight outlined her eyebrows like golden threads, her small nose twitched slightly, and there was a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.
Lu Yunting couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently brushed away a strand of hair on her cheek. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of waking up the person in front of him.
Jiang Yueyang moaned, her eyelashes trembling, and slowly opened her eyes, only to be met with Lu Yunting's affectionate gaze.
A blush appeared on her cheeks and she drooped her eyelashes shyly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Her voice was soft, like the chirping of an oriole in spring.
“I can’t control it.”
There were only four words, but they made her heart beat faster. Jiang Yueyang shyly snuggled into his arms.
Lu Yunting chuckled, lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, "It's still early, go to sleep for a while."
"Hmm~"
Outside the window, a few magpies were chirping happily on the branches, as if singing praises for the perfect couple.
Inside the house, the two of them lay in each other's arms, full of affection, making this summer time extremely charming.
About two quarters of an hour later, Xiangling stood outside the house and urged, "Miss, General, it's getting late. You should get up, wash up, and go to court."
Lu Yunting gently scratched the tip of the nose of the person in his arms and said softly, "Yangyang, it's time to get up."
Jiang Yueyang muttered lazily, holding him tighter with both hands, "Sleep a little longer."
Lu Yunting was helpless and doting, whispering in her ear: "Be good, or you will miss the morning court."
Jiang Yueyang hummed lazily, unwilling to get up. Unexpectedly, the next second, a tingling sensation came from her neck.
She suddenly became much more awake and opened her eyes. It turned out that it was Lu Yunting who was blowing gently on her neck and giving her small kisses.
"Ah Yue, it's itchy."
"Do you want to get up?" His voice was full of restraint.
Jiang Yueyang noticed that his breathing was a little rapid and knew that he was trying his best to endure it. She didn't dare to make trouble anymore. She quickly kissed him on the lips and escaped from his arms.
Lu Yunting covered his face and chuckled, then took a deep breath to calm his inner restlessness and stood up.
Just when he wanted to call someone in to help them wash up, Jiang Yueyang stepped forward and gently covered his mouth.
Lu Yunting blinked at her in confusion.
Jiang Yueyang did not explain, but simply straightened his slightly open undershirt and hid his strong chest inside the clothes.
Lu Yunting saw through her thoughts at once, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he couldn't help feeling happy.
"Yangyang, don't you want others to see my body?" He teased her deliberately.
Jiang Yueyang felt a little shy when she heard that, but she still looked up at him and said "hmm" heavily, "Only I can see it."
"Okay, I'll just show you." There was an extremely amused smile in his voice.
After making sure that Lu Yunting didn't expose anything that shouldn't be exposed, Jiang Yueyang called Xiangling in to serve him.
A quarter of an hour later, the couple went out hand in hand. This was the first time they went to the morning court together after their marriage.
They no longer had to worry about other people's opinions and could ride in the same carriage openly.
Soon, they arrived at the palace gate.
Lu Yunting helped Jiang Yueyang down from the carriage, and holding her hand, he walked past the officials in a swagger.
The officials passing by obviously sensed that he did it on purpose and were a little speechless.
What’s so great about getting married?
What’s so great about marrying the woman you love?
Just like that, Lu Yunting, in a very good mood, held Jiang Yueyang's hand and walked all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
As soon as they entered the hall, the young eunuch in the hall came over and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, your position has been adjusted."
"Where was it transferred to?"
"Master Xiao Jiang, please follow me."
The young eunuch led her to the position behind the King of Qi, "Lord Xiao Jiang, this is your new position."
Jiang Yueyang nodded and said nothing. According to her rank, her position should be raised.
At this time, Emperor Yuan arrived, and everyone returned to their seats and stood still. Then they all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite!"
An hour later, the morning court ended, and Jiang Yueyang, the left prime minister, General Zhenguo and others were called to the Huaqing Palace.
After Emperor Yuan glanced at a few people, he set his sights on Jiang Yueyang.
Jiang Yueyang knew at a glance that he had called so many people over, but in fact he was just looking for her.
As expected, Emperor Yuan looked at her sternly and said, "Jiang Yueyang, I want to send you to inspect the country on my behalf and investigate local officials."
Jiang Yueyang was slightly startled, then he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty can entrust me with such an important matter. This shows your trust and respect for me. I am deeply honored. However, I am still inexperienced and lack the ability to take on this important task. I am afraid that I cannot take on this important task."
"My dear minister, there is no need to be too modest. During this period of time, your abilities have been witnessed by me and all the civil and military officials.
You are thoughtful, upright, and have drastic measures. I believe you can do the job. Moreover, I will send the Dali Temple Shaoqing and others to accompany you to help you. "
Jiang Yueyang was hesitant. She didn't want to take the job. The burden was too heavy. More importantly...
[Great, host, you can go out and play openly! You can't come back for two or three years after touring the world! Isn't this a public-funded trip?] The system said happily.
Jiang Yueyang curled her lips and said, "You wish. Didn't you hear His Majesty ask me to investigate the local officials?"
If there were corrupt officials everywhere, I would be very busy. Besides, Ah Yue and I just got married and I don’t want to be separated from him. 】
The system glanced at Lu Yunting and sighed: [Even if you don't want to separate, he will have to go back to guard the border.]
Jiang Yueyang immediately lowered her eyes, feeling heavy in her heart.
Lu Yunting also looked reluctant. Even though he had to go back to guard the border, he wanted to stay with her for a while longer.
However, His Majesty has already selected the entourage and has obviously been preparing for this for a long time. They will definitely set off soon.
The system said: [Otherwise, ask the emperor to let Lu Yunting accompany you! For such an important mission, the emperor will definitely send someone to escort you all the way.]
Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up and she was about to make a request.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan spoke before her: "By the way, I will let Lu Yunting lead a team of Cangwu soldiers to escort you until you return."
Lu Yunting was delighted. He wanted to go too?
Jiang Yueyang immediately said happily: "Since your majesty trusts me, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Emperor Yuan smiled helplessly. Trust was just a passing cloud. The key was for Lu Yunting to accompany him.
Everyone shook their heads and laughed. Lord Xiao Jiang really couldn't hide his thoughts at all.
The system was happy for her and said with a smile: [That's great, a honeymoon at public expense! ]
"In that case, the date of the trip will be set in three days. The left minister will inform you of the accompanying personnel. If you want to add anyone else, please tell him. You will be the chief officer on this trip."
"Your Majesty, may I bring my maid with me?"
"what ever."
ps: Not finished yet, there is more.
