Zhu Qiyu was reluctant, but seeing Zhu Qilan's expectant eyes, he picked up the wine sadly and said "brother-in-law" dryly.
After drinking a glass of wine, it seemed as if all the strength in my body was used up, and it was like I had lost my faith. I leaned against the chair like a dehydrated fish, and the light in my eyes disappeared.
The treacherous minister committed treason, and the emperor's sister finally...
Where is Yu Tao
That bastard is in charge of the Xuanyinsi, but he failed to discipline his children and raised such a daring peasant. It is an unforgivable crime to raise a tiger and turn it into a disaster. He must be skinned alive as a warning to others.
From being an emperor to being the emperor's younger brother, he finally completely fell into being a younger brother. Since then, his sister married another man, and the next year he got his eldest nephew. Zhu Qiyou was so sad that he tasted the bitterness of the wine glass after glass, and almost shed tears.
Hearing the pretty boy's cheerful laughter again, he felt pain and annoyance, and vowed to make Yu Tao pay the price.
"His aptitude is average. He practiced two years ago and has only reached the Fusion Stage in the past two years. He can barely fight a few Tribulation Stage warriors to help him out."
"I'm not afraid of my father-in-law laughing at me. I'm neither good at literature nor martial arts. I can't compare to my father-in-law, who has a big family and a big business. I'm just a small clan leader who is not worth mentioning. My career has just started... Well, my career is already successful, it can't be more successful."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. She has the final say at home. I will not fight back even if I am beaten."
"We are all young, at least I am really young..."
"Brother, don't just drink, eat some food!"
After three rounds of drinks, both the host and the guests were in great joy.
The happiest person was Zhu Qilan. His mind was finally settled, and his usually cold face was filled with smiles. After the family dinner, the empress dowager left him alone and called him aside to chat about family matters.
After a few words, the Queen Mother said earnestly: "Changming, if you were a girl from an ordinary family, he could be said to be a good match, but you are not, and neither is he. If you encounter anything unpleasant, remember not to lose your temper."
"Mother, he treats me very well."
"I know he treats you well, but he..."
The Queen Mother paused for a moment and continued, "He is the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He is extremely gifted and talented. Such a precious jade will inevitably be fought over by various forces. You are alone, so I am afraid you will have to worry about trivial matters."
Zhu Qilan fell silent upon hearing this, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
The Queen Mother felt very distressed and patted Zhu Qilan's hand: "Don't worry, I know your temper. Once you make up your mind, you won't change it. I just want to remind you that there is still a long way to go. How to tie someone down and how to make him loyal to you will ultimately depend on your own means."
"Changming knows."
"Go ahead. Your heart is no longer here. Instead of staying with an old woman like me, you might as well go find a man of your dreams."
"Don't joke, mother. In terms of youth and beauty, you are far superior to Changming."
"That's true. That kid peeked at me several times."
"… "
…
The other side.
The old emperor was not good at drinking, and the current emperor was drunk, so they both pretended to be drunk and left the stage.
Lu Bei followed the old eunuch to the bedroom, not the bedroom of the emperors, but the bedroom of the princesses...
That's not right either.
To be precise, it is the eldest princess's bedroom.
Zhu Qiyou was no longer a young man. He had a harem full of empress and concubines, and was surrounded by female officials. He was in good health and had princes and princesses.
As the eldest princess, Zhu Qilan naturally could not live with the younger ones, but she was the eldest princess with a fiefdom, and there was no place for her to live in the palace. In the past, when she came to the capital to pay respects, she was unwilling to stay outside the palace and always lived in the empress dowager's bedroom.
Not today, it’s not convenient.
If word gets out, neither the Zhu family nor the Tianjian Sect will be happy.
The old emperor had made arrangements in advance and built a new palace in the imperial garden. The immortal cultivators were good at infrastructure construction. While they were still eating here, the palace maids had already packed up, and several beautiful female officials had moved in.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to liven up the atmosphere and have some fun.
The old eunuch had a pale beardless face, drooping wrinkles and loose eye corners. His slender eyes were half-open, as if he was ready to start the feast at any time.
Lu Bei did not dare to underestimate the other party. His cultivation level in the Fusion Stage was not a big deal, as it would only take one punch from him. However, seeing the old eunuch serving him at the family banquet, it showed that the two generations of emperors did not treat him as an outsider.
Based on what he knew and learned, Lu Bei speculated that this was not an ordinary eunuch, but the eunuch among eunuchs - Jiu Qiansui.
"Ahem, this..."
"Also let Sect Master Lu know that I have been blessed by His Majesty and have been given the surname Zhu and the given name Rang. Sect Master calls me..."
Your surname used to be Zhang, right
"So it's Chitose, sorry for the rudeness."
"…" x2
"Ahem, Sect Master Lu, please don't make fun of me, it could cost someone's life." The old eunuch's eyelids jumped. Seeing Lu Bei's shocking words at the wine table, he thought to himself that he was indeed a strange man. He didn't expect that he still underestimated him.
A thousand years old or something, this is going to cost him his life!
Lu Bei asked for the throne, but the old eunuch refused to give in. As the two pushed and shoved each other, Lu Bei took out a silver note and stuffed it into the old eunuch's sleeve in the blink of an eye.
In front of them was the eldest princess's temporary bedroom. There were already palace maids surrounding it. The old eunuch did not dare to make any big movements. He lowered his head and thanked for the reward.
"Nothing, just some money for tea."
Lu Bei smiled and waved his hand, then strode into the bedroom, leaving behind a back that showed no one in sight.
The old eunuch turned and left. After a few steps, his figure disappeared into the darkness. He took out the silver bills in his arms and took a look at them.
Ten taels.
"… "
How should I put it, he is quite frugal.
The old eunuch didn't care. If others took ten taels of silver, it would be a slap in his face. But Lu Bei was different. The leader of the Tianjian Sect was of such a high status that there were probably not many people in the world who could earn ten taels of silver from him.
For example, every time the Huangji Sect encountered Lu Bei, they could only get a good beating and didn't even get a tael of silver.
Thinking of this, he put away the ten taels of silver note and smiled: "This thing is worth a thousand gold."
—
Bedroom.
Lu Bei stepped in and was greeted by two female officials. They were very beautiful and distinguished, which gave him an illusion that he vaguely heard the voice of "a male guest".
It was a sound he had never heard of before and only existed in rumors, so he had no idea what it meant.
Two female officials came to meet Lu Bei. The water in the pond in the room was misty. Seeing that it was time for a dragon to come, he shook his head slightly and waved his hand to let the two female officials leave.
The two girls secretly felt it was a pity that they had missed such a great opportunity, and bowed and walked out of the house.
"Come out, do you really think I can't see you?"
"whee."
Behind the red pillar, Zhu Baiyu came out with a smile on her face. She came to Lu Bei with a smile as beautiful as a flower and undressed him with ease.
"Sister Yu, if you don't like the female official outside, just drive her away. Why do you have to be so sneaky?"
"The palace has its own rules. They are high-ranking officials, and I can't suppress them. Besides..."
Steward Yu whispered in his ear, "They are clumsy, have read few books, and are not well-trained. They cannot grasp the master's temper. When you are furious, you will definitely drive them out of the house, and it will be my turn to save you."
As expected of you, you flirt as soon as we meet!
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to untie the ribbon on Butler Yu's waist. It was very silky and he took off his clothes in a second. It was obvious that he came prepared.
They were old acquaintances. Lu Bei was not shy and Steward Yu was very calm and generous. The two of them stuck together and fell into the pool while walking.
After a while, Lu Bei closed his eyes and rested his arms on both sides of the pool. He did not see the figure of Butler Yu, but only saw the surging undercurrent.
The two female officials entered again and welcomed Zhu Qilan.
The latter uttered a sigh and glared at Lu Bei unhappily, then waved his hand and said, "Leave. Without my order, no outsiders are allowed to enter."
The female official took the order and left. There were no outsiders in the eldest princess's bedroom. It was obvious that he was talking about them.
Zhu Qilan wore two small clothes and entered the water, sitting opposite Lu Bei, diagonally, very close, only about three to five meters away.
Butler Yu slowly surfaced, pursed his lips, and looked at Zhu Qilan with his crescent-shaped eyes. With almost no effort, he pulled the man to Lu Bei's side.
"You little slave, you are so bold, taking advantage of my absence..."
"Master, she is mean to me!"
Butler Yu didn't buy it. He threw himself into Lu Bei's arms and started crying.
"Don't be afraid. With me here, she won't dare to do anything to you."
Lu Bei patted her shoulders, his eyes wide open as he glared at Zhu Qilan, causing the latter to roll his eyes: "Just spoil her, she will bully you sooner or later."
"My uncle dotes on her father, so the relationship is a bit complicated..."
Lu Bei complained, reached out his hand to grab Zhu Qilan, lowered his head and teased: "It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. She just bullied me. If you don't believe me, check it yourself."
Zhu Qilan spat lightly, his ears turning red with embarrassment.
"Cousin, how was my performance today? Did I not embarrass you?"
"And still call me cousin..."
Zhu Qilan grumbled, unable to bear Lu Bei's urging, and even more unable to bear the sweetness in his heart, he turned his head and looked to the side: "You have lost all the face you can, but you have indeed restrained yourself a lot more than usual, so for the time being... I am satisfied."
"May I ask, Your Highness, if there is any reward?" Lu Bei looked at Zhu Qilan with a burning gaze, which frightened the latter so much that he lowered his head and dared not look at him.
"Speak."
"Yes, yes..."
Zhu Qilan stammered: "But, my mother will find out, how embarrassing!"
Feeling that she couldn't escape the poisonous clutches tonight, her voice trembled. If possible, she wanted to ask Lu Bei to postpone the time again.
After the New Year, I will return to Changming Prefecture and let him do whatever he wants.
"No way, there is such a magical power?"
Lu Bei's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Butler Yu. His eyes, full of curiosity, didn't seem fake; he was truly curious.
Steward Yu covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He couldn't speak openly, so he bit his ear and whispered, "There are too many intrigues in the harem. Whether it's the Queen Mother or the Queen, they need a pair of good eyes to stabilize the rear and help Your Majesty solve problems."
To put it nicely, isn't it just protecting food
Lu Bei's curiosity vanished, he blinked and looked at Zhu Qilan, and continued: "I dare to say that since Your Highness has given me a reward, I will respectfully obey your command."
Zhu Qilan's head was half submerged in the water. He shook his head, nodded, and shook his head again.
How can you complete the task assigned to you by the organization if you look ahead and behind
Lu Bei was very disappointed with his friend, and in a flash, he brought the two girls to the dormitory.
"Sister Yu, the princess is thin-skinned, but you are brave. Come and set an example for her."
…
The heaven and earth have righteousness, and the yin and yang of heaven and earth are established;
The tide and the balance are moving towards this mountain.
The clouds are clear and boundless, and the orioles are singing in the night;
After the rain, the mountains are bright and shiny, and the sunrise changes their look.
