Chapter 235 Seniority
"Just because of the long journey, it is more necessary to settle down in the imperial city." Lu Ming retorted calmly, "It is easier than going back and forth every year."
Wen Jin nodded slowly: "It's just that we will be separated from our son. I wonder if Princess Suzaku will agree to it."
What he didn't say was that the separation of his parents and son was a concern, and there was another reason. If Princess Suzaku knew that he was obsessed with His Majesty and would not hesitate to leave his son to live in the imperial city, I don't know what her reaction would be.
Lu Ming frowned: "Whatever decision I make, it shouldn't be anyone else's turn to agree."
Princess Suzaku doesn't know where she is yet, how can she take care of him? What a joke.
"Don't be so harsh." Yan Qing said calmly, "When you really meet the woman you like, you will curl up if you are asked to curl up, and lie down if you are asked to lie down. Do you dare to resist?"
"How is that possible?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, "There is no woman in the world who dares to climb over a man - well, except Your Majesty. It is better for other women to be delicate and docile. Apart from Your Majesty, I cannot be at the mercy of other women."
"Well, let me tell you something." Xuanwu King Ye Jinglan said, "My sister is different from other women."
Lu Ming turned to look at him: "Your sister is different from other women, does it have nothing to do with me? I won't marry her."
"You dare to try to get married." Ye Jinglan took a sip of wine and said in a very calm tone, with a hint of embarrassment, "The Regent will split you into eight pieces."
Although he is not very reliable as King Xuanwu, anyone who has a brother-in-law like the Prince Regent will inevitably want to show off.
Lu Ming was silent, and suddenly thought of a very serious problem. The regent and the sister of King Xuanwu seemed to be getting married. If this happened, wouldn't their seniority be messed up?
"The Prince Regent is His Majesty's uncle. If Miss Ye marries the Prince Regent, then she will become His Majesty's Imperial Aunt and will be one generation higher than His Majesty." Lu Ming frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "This way First of all, doesn’t it mean that King Xuanwu is one generation higher than His Majesty?”
Yan Qing turned to look at him and said in a subtle tone: "No matter who marries the emperor's uncle, he will be one generation above me in the future. I can't let the regent not marry, can I?"
"The emperor's uncle is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor and his ministers are emperors and ministers." Wen Jin said calmly, "The regent married a wife, and your majesty has an imperial aunt, but this does not prevent your majesty and King Xuanwu from still having a monarch-minister relationship. King Suzaku thought Isn’t it a bit much?”
Ye Jinglan nodded: "Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are right."
Anyway, he definitely doesn't care about this seniority, because whether he cares about it or not, his seniority among the four kings will be improved invisibly in the future - although on the surface, it seems that whether his seniority is improved, it will not be the same as that of the other three kings. It doesn't matter.
But there is still something different.
"King Xuanwu, is your sister feeling better now?"
"Much better." Ye Jinglan nodded and bowed to Yan Qing, "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your concern, and thank you for the antidote."
Yan Qing said calmly: "You're welcome."
After chatting for a while, the four kings quickly got back to business. Starting with Qinglong King Mu Han, they reported in detail the military garrison, taxation, farming, commerce and many other matters in their respective fiefdoms. There were many things, and they were reported one by one. Time passed unknowingly. .
In a blink of an eye, the sky outside turned dark, and the two father-in-laws Ji Xiang Ruyi came in to ask for dinner. Yan Qing turned around and looked around the four of them: "Stay and have dinner with me and the emperor tonight. After dinner, you can go for a walk outside the palace. Imperial Family Family There are many noble girls. In addition to the Qinglong King who already has a fiancée, the three of you might be able to meet a woman you fall in love with. "
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so he should focus on being a wise, mighty, talented and strategic emperor instead of always thinking about being a matchmaker." Lu Ming stood up, "The matchmakers in the market are already very competitive. If Your Majesty gets involved again, it will be wrong." Directly taking away their business?”
After saying this, he suddenly thought of a question and frowned slightly, "Your Majesty is no longer as ruthless as before after being influenced by someone."
Yan glanced at him tiltedly: "Are you expecting me to be ruthless?"
"Not really." Lu Ming pondered, "I just think that the way His Majesty used to refuse people thousands of miles away looked more magnanimous, just like the unpickable snow lotus growing on the mountain cliffs. I once thought that this snow lotus would It always grows on the mountain cliffs, and people want to pick it off, but they never do. "
Yan Qing sneered: "Snow lotus is too vulgar. You can think of me as the goddess in the clouds who can only be crouched and looked up at, but can never get close to. Wouldn't this make me more deified?"
Wen Jin stood beside Yan Qing, with a calm and calm expression on his face, turning a blind eye to Lu Ming's sourness that was about to overflow.
He and His Majesty have already been married, and everyone in the world has witnessed the ceremony of Your Majesty's enthronement and his becoming the Royal Husband. No matter how bitter Lu Ming is, it will not help.
He has the Suzaku King City to defend and his own responsibilities to shoulder. Talking words and quick words won't change anything. There is no need to argue with him every word.
"Your Majesty is indeed an unattainable goddess in my heart." Lu Ming sighed melancholy, "I could still have some illusions before, but in the future I will be so unattainable that I won't even dare to have any illusions."
After all, one is in Suzaku City and the other is far away in the Imperial Capital. They can't even think about it.
Wen Jin narrowed her eyes and looked at her hands. They were still a pair of slender white hands. They looked clean and dust-free, and they were extremely beautiful.
Especially when these hands are clasped with His Majesty's hands, Wen Jin feels that they are particularly beautiful. He can now get close to His Majesty every day, and skin-to-skin contact is a common occurrence.
So these hands must be taken care of and must not be stained with blood.
Wen Jin sighed softly, and had to suppress the emotions in his heart, and tilted his head to look at Yan Qing: "Your Majesty, dinner should be ready, shall we go now?"
Yan Qing nodded and hummed, and walked down the dragon steps.
"The King of Suzaku is loyal to Your Majesty, and the world can show it." Wen Jin followed Yan Qing quietly, with a leisurely tone and a pleasant voice, "Why not let him stay in the imperial city for a while longer, just in time to reorganize the army left by Xiao Chongshan, and it can be regarded as making the best use of people."
If you only listen to his tone and expression when he speaks, he is really gentle and considerate, with a considerate look, and the implication is more like reusing military generals, without any other intentions.
After listening to this, Lu Ming frowned: "Even if the emperor trusts me, he shouldn't just hand over a garrison in the imperial city to me to manage. This is a very dangerous decision."
He paused, "How could the emperor, who is resourceful and well-planned, make such a decision?"
