"Alright, now you can explain it to me."
The sound came from above her head, tugging at the wisps of hair on her forehead, making her feel a little tingly. Leng Qingning tilted her head slightly and stroked his chin a few times.
Relieve itching!
She then reached out and wrapped her arms around Cang Yuan's firm and strong waist before leisurely explaining, "A Yuan, what do you think is the main theme of the book 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"
"Hmm?" Cang Yuan was a little puzzled. What did this have to do with leaving Chi Yan behind?
Leng Qingning snuggled against him, "Tell me!"
Cang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The feudal lords want to end the division and unify the world, while the people want to stay away from war and live in peace and prosperity."
Leng Qingning nodded slightly, "Yes, the feudal lords want to unify the Central Plains, while I want to unify the reclusive world and become the ruler of all under heaven!"
What! ! !
His words were astonishing. Cang Yuan was shocked and released Leng Qingning, looking at her with disbelief. "My lady, you?"
“Yes.” Leng Qingning raised her eyes, her expression resolute. “Keeping Chi Yan is equivalent to gaining Cang Qiong. Cang Qiong has a million-strong army. I need him, and I need the power behind him even more.”
Cang Yuan suddenly realized: "You mean... you want to use him?"
"That's one way to put it."
Leng Qingning chuckled softly, recalling what Chi Yan had said last time. At the time, she hadn't understood the meaning behind his words and only felt confused. But after thinking about it, she understood everything.
Chi Yan once said that he was willing to pave the way for himself, and that he did so voluntarily.
Cang Yuan was still in shock. He had never imagined that his wife would have such ambition. He thought that the future ruler of Dayue was already a high and mighty being.
At this moment, Cang Yuan had to re-evaluate the woman before him.
"My lady, you seem to have changed."
Leng Qingning regained her playful demeanor, "Really? How has it changed? For better or for worse?"
Cang Yuan suppressed his inner thoughts and smiled faintly. "I can't really explain it either. But having ambition isn't a bad thing. It doesn't matter if it becomes good or bad. As long as you are you, I will support you without hesitation no matter what you want to do."
Seeing Cang Yuan smile, Leng Qingning pressed her advantage, "So, are you calmed down now, Brother Yuan?"
"Hmm." Since it's about using someone...
Cang Yuan lowered his head in deep thought, feeling indignant on behalf of Leng Qingning and also hating Chi Yan's actions back then. He vividly remembered the despair and grief he felt that day, watching his beloved's body gradually grow cold and lifeless.
Cang Yuan didn't want Chi Yan to be forgiven so quickly; he deserved to be punished.
"My lady, do the other husbands know about this?"
Leng Qingning shook her head. "I know you hate Chi Yan the most, so I'm explaining to you first. I don't want you to be affected by this and become a stranger to others. The things you said in the hall today were not like you at all. To be honest, I have never seen you ostracize someone like this before."
In Leng Qingning's heart, Cang Yuan has always been the type who doesn't compete or fight but silently protects others. He also gets along fairly well with his husbands. However, when it comes to Chi Yan, Cang Yuan seems to become a different person.
Cang Yuan explained, "I...I'm sorry, my wife. I was too angry at the time. I didn't mean to mock you for being biased."
Although this is an undeniable fact.
"I know you're just worried about me. Okay, if you don't like him, just don't see him anymore. You don't need to keep holding a grudge for me. Didn't Xiao Ning slash him with her sword? That's half revenge for me, right? I'll handle the rest myself. Don't worry about me, okay?"
"You want to get revenge on him?" Cang Yuan asked.
Leng Qingning hesitated for a moment, without giving a direct answer, "If you need his help in the future, don't worry about this."
Cang Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Alright." He paused and asked her again, "Should I talk to the other suitors?"
Cang Yuan thought that Leng Qingning was quite busy every day, and it would be too tiring to explain to them one by one. It would be better to gather them all at once and have him relay the message to them.
"No, you should leave this matter alone. I will make other plans."
Leng Qingning didn't want her husbands to know about her "ambition" so soon.
Moreover, she is a vengeful person, and she wants to take this opportunity to temper Chi Yan's temperament.
This selfish and scumbag is infuriating to even think about.
Cang Yuan didn't think much of it and just said to her, "Yes, my wife, I will listen to you. I will try to stay away from Tingfeng Pavilion in the future to avoid running into him."
"Thank you, A Yuan. But you mustn't get jealous or angry so easily in the future. After all..." Leng Qingning teased him with a smile, "Although I am rich, I don't want to spend my days buying expensive saplings. If you all spend like this, how will I support the army?"
Cang Yuan chuckled, "I understand, I'll go easier next time."
………
The next day, after Leng Qingning finished her training and the morning court session, she went straight to Sanshengluo and handed Fu Wen the book she had written in response to the Jin minister. Fu Wen was so moved by the title that he almost cried: "Journey to the East".
No matter how hard he tried, he could never have guessed that this was a mythological story. He thought Leng Qingning had just casually written a travel science diary.
"Your Highness, although I have absolute faith in your writing skills, isn't this a bit too perfunctory?"
"Don't worry, this book is suitable for men, women, young and old. I'm just afraid that people will get so engrossed in it that they won't be able to put it down."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wen immediately perked up, sat down to the side, and began reading...
Leng Qingning asked someone to bring the ledger to check it carefully. An hour later, at Fu Wen's urging, she wrote a few more episodes and made a new menu.
It was nearly evening when Leng Qingning left Sanshengluo. She went to the Yellow Crane Tower to keep her appointment and host a banquet for Jin Yan and Shen Su.
The two inquired about the matter between Leng Qingning and Chi Yan, and Leng Qingning did not shy away from telling them the truth.
One is her future husband, and the other is interested in her. If nothing unexpected happens, they will both become her people. There's no need to hide anything from her when she's with her own people.
Upon learning the identity of the Azure Sky Lord, Shen Su was utterly shocked. Every member of the royal family was wary of the Azure Sky power, and thus, the pressure, already as heavy as Mount Tai, was added to the already immense pressure!
When the two heard about the soul swap, they were even more shocked, but their opinions were completely different.
Jin Yan was furious that his beloved's sincere feelings had been betrayed, and he felt that Chi Yan was a dangerous person. No wonder he had to try so hard to please and beg for forgiveness.
Shen Su, however, believed that Chi Yan, having been severely injured by Xiao Ning and willing to use the power of the heavens to make amends and submit to Dayue, was not entirely unforgivable. As a man, who would want to share a wife with someone else? Chi Yan's desire to possess Leng Qingning stemmed from excessive love, but his overzealous possessiveness led him to use the wrong methods, and he certainly deserved to pay the price.
The three chatted until the moon was high in the sky. Leng Qingning was half-drunk, and it was already 1:15 PM when they returned to Langya Mansion.
"Young Prince, Young Master Shen, you two should go back now. I have nothing to do."
Jin Yan and Shen Su helped her into the front hall, one on each side, and they looked strangely harmonious!
Seeing Leng Qingning return, Biluo excitedly came to the group, her face beaming with joy, "Your Highness, great news!"
"Huh? Great joy?"
