According to Li Cong's meaning, the time for Li Xi and Lu Jin to get married can be postponed to the day of Lu Jin's year, but it is decided that the due scenes of the ceremony can be done first, therefore, Si Tian identified the eighth day of the fourth month to ask Yan Yan, saying that he hoped that their marriage and the country of the Great Zhou would be stable.

Because Yan Yan didn't know these etiquettes very well, for this reason, she specially invited Mrs. Meng and several elders of the Meng family and several elders of the Yan family and the Yun family, in addition to Lu Duan and Wang Jie, as well as an uninvited Lu Jing.

This time, the royal family showed the greatest sincerity, the two officials of the Ministry of Rites cooperated with the people of the Zhan Academy of the East Palace, as well as the most famous iceman in the capital, and the barmen who carried the ceremony were all neat seventeen or eighteen-year-old little eunuchs, and the first two were holding a snow-white wild goose, this team came out of the palace and was sought after by the people, and the good deeds followed them to the gate of the Ming Garden, and Zhou Haisheng waited at the door with a bunch of people.

It is also a coincidence that when Yan Yan received the guests under the guidance of several elders, two fast horses stopped in front of the palace gate, and after entering the palace, they went straight to the south study.

At this time, Li Cong was not in the south study, but in Kunning Palace, discussing Li Xi's family affairs with the queen and the prince, because according to the queen and the prince's intentions, they originally wanted these two children to get married next year, but Li Cong suddenly pushed the marriage date to three years later, and the queen was puzzled.

In addition, Li Cong also instructed the queen to say a few words, try to let the two children deal with the affairs in Li Xi's room by themselves, and she should not interfere, which the queen can't understand.

She absolutely does not accept that there is only one woman by Lu Jin's side of her eldest grandson, this is not a folk, this is a palace, ordinary princes can't have only one woman, let alone the emperor's grandson? He will be the prince and the emperor in the future, if there is only one woman around him, and it is passed out, where is the majesty of the royal family? And how will the royal bloodline continue?

When the queen was arguing with the emperor, there was a eunuch newspaper at the door, saying that there was an eight-hundred-mile express report from the Marquis of Ping Yan, and Li Cong heard that he was busy ordering people to go in, so he took the express report from the eunuch's hand, opened it and glanced at it, Li Cong immediately laughed.

"Not bad, not bad, really good, I really didn't expect this kid to have such skills, haha, haha." Li Cong was so overjoyed that he almost didn't dance.

It was about this joy that needed to be shared with others, Li Cong blurted out: "Come here, spread my will, and enter the palace with the lord of Baihui." ”

"Back to my father, I'm afraid it won't work, Sister Yan'er is receiving officials from the Ministry of Rites." Li Ji stopped, and then asked if Lu You had taken the Jurchen capital.

Because in Li Ji's memory, his father only had this ecstatic look after learning that Lu You had taken back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so he could easily guess the answer.

"That's right, this kid is really a genius, worthy of being the son of Duke Lu, who is better than the blue." After Li Cong finished speaking, he handed the good news in his hand to his son.

Seeing this, the queen finally understood why her husband compromised with Yan Yan, but these are two different things, Yan Yan and Lu You have merit, she admits that she herself likes Yan Yan very much, and she has also treated Yan Yan as a relative as a junior in recent years, Yan Yan's treatment is about to catch up with those favored princesses, and she is not much better than those princesses who are not in the stream.

Besides, the emperor also compensated the couple from other places, one was given the title of county lord as a woman with a foreign surname, and the other was named the hereditary Pingyan Marquis, and Lu Jin married the emperor's grandson as a family daughter, speaking of which, these are the royal grace to these two people, isn't it enough?

The emperor didn't have the heart to talk to the queen about such a trivial matter at this time, he still had to find someone to discuss the next major peace talks.

Of course, this peace talk is nothing Jurchen, it is a peace talk between the Great Zhou and the Liao State, and it is about the exchange of land.

Since Yan Yan put forward this suggestion, he has discussed several times with several important ministers, and feels that this plan should be accepted by both the Great Zhou and the Liao State, after all, for the Liao State, they don't want to be caught in the middle of the Great Zhou and be angry, in case the Great Zhou sees that they are unhappy one day, and wants to merge them into the territory of the Great Zhou, it is difficult for the Liao State to agree or not.

It's just that Li Cong has his own ideas on how to exchange land, he has seen the map, if Lu You can win the capital of the Jurchens, most of the territory of the Jurchens should belong to the Great Zhou, which is much more than the cities in Nanjing Road, therefore, Yan Yan's suggestions are not cost-effective.

Therefore, Li Cong really wanted to replace the Western Liaoning Corridor with him, so he was anxious to find someone to discuss who to send to the Liao State, this person must not only be brave and resourceful, but also have extraordinary eloquence.

Li Ji saw that his father left his mother in a hurry, and hurriedly stayed to comfort his mother a few words, to the effect that it would take three years for Li Xi and Lu Jin to get married, and who might change their minds after three years, and besides, even if they got married, his father only promised not to stuff people around Li Xi for the first three years, but he didn't promise to never let Li Xi marry a child.

And the reason why Li Ji specially explained a few words was because he was afraid that the queen mother would show Yan Yan's face, and if the relationship that was easy to ease was stiff again, it would not be a pleasant thing for either Yan Yan or the royal family.

The queen also understands the truth, but she just can't accept Yan Yan's point of view, let alone the emperor's compromise, why?

Hasn't she persuaded the emperor to take good care of her dragon body over the years, has she been less worried about the women around her husband over the years, has she been less angry with those women over the years? Also, has the Queen Mother interfered less in the affairs between their husbands and wives over the years?

But why can't her husband see her grievances and forbearance, but he only asks her to abide by the queen's duty, to be a mother to the world, to be tolerant and generous, and to treat them well.

How else can she be kind and tolerant? Who gave her first two children, and that poor daughter, and her later infertility? But when did the emperor say a thoughtful word to her, or did a caring thing?

"Mother, don't blame your father, my father doesn't have you in his heart, he told me more than once, saying that fortunately there are you in the harem, so that he can take care of the affairs of the court without distractions, and his father understands it in his heart, he is just used to letting others see his face, after all, he has been the emperor since he remembers." Li Ji saw that there was still a look of disgruntle on his mother's face, and persuaded him again.

The queen sighed, knowing that her husband still had something to do with her son, so she urged him to leave.

She still has this kind of open-mindedness and self-cultivation, and she knows that no matter how big her affairs are, they can't be bigger than the affairs of the court, so she has never made her husband sad because of her private affairs and selfishness for so many years, which is also an important reason why she has been able to stand tall in the harem for many years.
