Some husbands also believe that the wishes of the person in question should be respected. Although they may have resentment, they cannot make decisions for Leng Qingning on their own.
Wen Yanche held the letter in his hand, recalling the words Leng Qingning had said to him that day.
She said that in her heart, she herself is the most important!
He himself has promised that he will never compare himself with others again.
If Leng Qingning truly can't let go, then he...
In the end, Wen Yanche calmly persuaded the young men.
When Leng Qingning returned to the manor that night, the manor was unusually quiet, which she found strange.
Returning to Rose Garden alone, I found the opened letter on the desk in the master bedroom.
Clearly, her husbands had seen it before she did.
After Leng Qingning opened the letter, the contents were as follows:
"Ning'er, I miss you so much! ... (omitting 1,000 words)"
Ning'er, your mother has passed away. She hoped you were doing well...
Ning'er, the affairs of the Azure Sky have been handed over to my elder sister...
I'll be setting off in a month, wait for me!
Judging by the dates, Chi Yan has already set off.
She closed the letter, and with a blank expression, went to bed and fell asleep, as if it were just an ordinary family letter.
A few days later, news came from the court that the Fourth Princess Leng Qinghan, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment, had actually escaped from prison!
This truly surprised all the officials, and Leng Qingning was summoned to the Lingxiao Palace for a meeting.
Lingxiao Palace
"Mother, are we discussing Fourth Sister's matter?"
The Empress refused, saying, "No, my son, I summoned you here today because I have important matters to discuss with you. As for Han'er's matter, just leave it to the Ministry of Justice to investigate."
Leng Qingning frowned. "Oh? What is it?"
The Empress and Zuo exchanged a glance, their smiles filled with joy. "The Empress of Jin invites you to be the chief judge for their imperial examination this year. Ning'er, would you like to travel to Jin? You can also bring your husbands along. I will send 50,000 elite guards to escort you there."
"The Jin Kingdom?" Leng Qingning asked in surprise, "They asked me to be the referee?" She didn't seem to know the Jin Kingdom's empress well.
Seeing her confusion, the Left Prime Minister took the initiative to explain: "Your Highness, last time you joined forces with the Jin Kingdom to take Cangqiong, the Jin Empress wrote to praise you many times, and she hoped to meet you."
"Secondly, your mission to the Jin Kingdom will allow the other four kingdoms to know that the alliance between our Dayue and the Jin Kingdom is real, which will further solidify the Jin-Yue alliance and enhance the friendship between the two countries."
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
Leng Qingning nodded, "So that's how it is!"
The Empress asked with a smile, "Ning'er, what are your thoughts?"
"If it can improve the diplomatic relations between the two countries, your son is willing to go on behalf of our country to the Jin Kingdom."
The Empress smiled with satisfaction. "Very well, my child. Pack your things and we'll set off in three days!"
The Left Prime Minister added, "Your Highness, the Jin Kingdom's general selection process will last for about two months. Please remember to bring several young men with you to the Jin Kingdom so they can experience the local customs and culture."
"Alright, I understand."
Leng Qingning bowed and left the main hall, while the Empress and the Left Prime Minister watched her leave with smiles on their faces.
Upon returning to the mansion, Leng Qingning found her husbands drinking tea in the front hall, and she told them about her mission to the Jin Kingdom.
Immediately, several husbands exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
If the wife is going to the Jin Kingdom, will someone who wants to come be disappointed?
That's great news!
Meng Xu was still confused. "My lady, why does His Majesty the Jin Kingdom want you to be the examiner?"
Lu Shiyi corrected him, "You're not acting as an invigilator, you're acting as a judge, responsible for the final approval of the exam papers."
"Ah, wouldn't the wife be very tired? Our Dayue has millions of candidates every year, and I imagine the Jin Kingdom is probably not much different." Lin Xianzhi looked at Leng Qingning with concern.
Wen Yanche explained, "No, not all exam papers are graded by the wife. The previous ones have already gone through several rounds of selection. We've reached the final stage of the national exam, and the exam papers of the national exam candidates will first be graded by the invigilators. If I'm not mistaken, the papers of the top fifty to one hundred outstanding candidates will be selected and then given to the wife for grading."
"Then I can rest assured." Lin Xianzhi's worry turned to joy, and he didn't forget to flatter him, "My lord is indeed very knowledgeable."
Leng Qingning reassured everyone, "Don't worry, Mother Empress said that this mission to foreign lands doesn't need to be too solemn. The main purpose is to consolidate the Yuejin Alliance. Being a referee is just a side matter. I can just go there to relax and have some fun."
"Would you like to come with me?"
As soon as the question was raised, the husbands became more and more enthusiastic.
"My lady, can we go too? Then I want to go." Cang Yuan was the first to sign up. He was leaving too, leaving someone to stare blankly. He didn't want to see certain people.
"I also want to go," Lin Xianzhi and Meng Xu said at the same time.
Gu Nanshu nodded to Leng Qingning, indicating that he also wanted to go.
Leng Qingning looked at Lu Shiyi, "Shiyi, what about you?"
When asked, Lu Shiyi's eyes softened, and he smiled as he replied, "My lady, I am willing to go with you."
"Okay, then let's all go." Leng Qingning made the decision with satisfaction.
She then looked at Wen Yanche and asked, "Husband, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Wen Yanche smiled and said gently, "Since my wife has already made the decision for me, I naturally cannot refuse."
"Mmm." Leng Qingning whispered playfully in his ear, "Refusal is ineffective, you have to go whether you want to or not."
"Hehe." Wen Yanche chuckled softly, looking at her with doting eyes. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, ensuring that all the husbands present could hear him: "I know, I will accompany you. Wherever you go, I am willing to follow you."
“Brother Che…” Leng Qingning said with a charming smile.
The husbands immediately and tacitly looked away.
"Sister, I want to go too!" Sang Yu ran in from outside the hall at that moment.
When everyone saw him jogging over, they teased, "Hey, why isn't Xiaoyu carrying the little fox today?"
"It's rare to see Xiaoyu. We haven't seen her for quite some time since Young Master Shen sent her that snow fox."
"Yes, Young Master Xiaoyu stays in the Master's courtyard every day and doesn't get close to us anymore."
"Of course, I can only see Young Master Xiaoyu when I go to the master's courtyard to see the snow fox."
"It seems we have finally lost to an adorable plush toy."
"Sigh." Lu Shiyi sighed softly.
Sang Yu hurriedly explained, "No, I just saw my brothers busy preparing New Year's gifts for my sister the other day, so..."
"So you just play with the fox every day and stop playing with us?"
"No, I didn't..." Sang Yu scratched his head sheepishly, his handsome cheeks suddenly turning red.
"Alright, stop teasing him." Wen Yanche came to Xiaoyu's rescue. "Xiaoyu, you just said you also want to go to the Jin Kingdom?"
Sang Yu nodded repeatedly, "My brothers are all going, I want to go too." Then she asked Leng Qingning, "Is it okay, sister?"
Leng Qingning shook her head, pretending to be unwilling. "We're all leaving now, so it's good that you can keep the snow fox company. No one will take it from you. The journey to the Jin Kingdom is long and you're still young. I'm worried about you having to endure the bumpy road. You should stay here. I'll have Kunling take care of you."
