There is a lake with an area of ​​hundreds of acres in the backyard of the King of Qi's Mansion, called Biyuan, which connects the Ziwei Harem and the backyard of the King of Qi's Mansion. Among them, 70% of the lake belongs to the imperial palace, and only 30% belong to the Qi's Mansion. However, the lake surface is connected, so it is difficult to distinguish the boundary of the palace courtyard. In the middle of the lake, there is an island covering an area of ​​twenty acres. The island is lush and lush, and there are dozens of pavilions and towers of all sizes.

The island can only be used by boat, and there are only two pleasure boats in the entire Biyuan, which are parked in the palace and the palace of the King of Qi. At this time, a pleasure boat was parked next to the island, and several female guards stood next to the pleasure boat with their knives.

In a long corridor on the island, Lu Qingzheng and Yang Jier walked slowly side by side, while behind him were several female guards.

Yang Ji'er wore a goose yellow long skirt, an emerald green half-sleeved short shirt, and the skirt tied to her armpits, making her look particularly slender and elegant, and she looks graceful. She is fifteen years old this year, tall and slim, with white and delicate skin, beautiful and pretty face, a red, tender and round mouth, and a well-behaved nose slightly upturned, making her look naughty in her prettyness.

The upper-class women of the Sui Dynasty usually started to talk about marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Yang Jier, who was already fifteen, naturally attracted the attention of many ministers, especially a month ago she stood up in the court to defend Lu Chu, which won unanimous praise from the court officials. Her fairy posture like a bud about to bloom made countless ministers consider their son's marriage.

Although she was the princess of the late emperor, Yu Yin of the Sui Dynasty was still there, and the King of Qi still recognized her as a princess, and there were many political resources in her.

Yang Ji'er was famous for being naughty since childhood. Even when she was fifteen years old, she still had a rebellious spirit that she brought since childhood. For example, this time she quarreled with her mother and left the palace alone. Fortunately, she was just rebellious, but she was not willful. After leaving the palace, she came to the Qi Palace.

Lu Qing immediately sent a female guard to the palace to tell Empress Xiao and asked Yang Jier to stay here for a few days.

"Sister Qing, don't persuade me anymore. I don't want to go back now. If you persuade me again, I will not come to you next time."

Lu Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Every time I advise you, you will threaten me with this, okay! I won't say it anymore, so you won't be worried that your family can't afford you."

Yang Jier pulled Lu Qing's arm and acted coquettishly, "Sister Qing, I don't eat much."

"Okay! OK! I'm afraid of you, okay?"

Yang Jier covered her mouth and smiled secretly. The two of them walked slowly along the corridor. The cool breeze blew, which made people feel refreshed. Yang Jier stretched her waist and smiled: "It's great that your prince is not at home, it's easy and comfortable. When he comes back, my life will be sad. It's best not to come back forever."

Lu Qing glanced at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? I think you should send you back immediately, otherwise I will be angry with you."

Yang Jier smiled and said, "I'm joking with Sister Qing! How can I not let my husband go home?"

"You!" Lu Qing poked her forehead gently and shook her head with a smile.

"To be honest, why did you and your mother quarrel this time? Your mother refused to say it."

Lu Qing was a little curious. He had never seen them turn against each other to this extent. After three days, they both didn't care about each other. Yang Ji'er was still young and could understand that she had a little rebellious intention, but as a mother, Empress Xiao didn't care about her daughter.

Of course, Yang Ji'er is not the biological daughter of Empress Xiao, but she was raised by Empress Xiao since childhood and regarded it as her own child. How could she ignore her feelings for more than ten years here? This really made Lu Qing feel incomprehensible.

Yang Jier hesitated and said, "It's a difficult family matter. Let me tell Sister Qing when I have the chance in the future!"

"Since it's a family matter, don't tell me, I'll just ask casually."

At this time, Lu Qing remembered something again, grabbed Yang Ji'er's hand and smiled, "By the way, Zhang Xuansu's wife came to visit me yesterday. What did she talk to me?"

"How can I guess?"

"I talked about you."

"About me?" Yang Jier was a little surprised, and asked with a smile with her head tilted, "What are you talking about me?"

"I talked a lot, my personality, whether you have been engaged, what you usually like to do, etc., I tell you the truth."

Yang Jier's expression was a little unnatural, and she muttered, "I don't know her, why did she ask me about it?"

"Are you still pretending to be confused? Her youngest son is twenty-one years old and has not married yet. What do you think she is here to do?"

Yang Jier's face suddenly became gloomy, "Why do I am, are the dishes on the market? Anyone can come and ask the price. Sister Qing, you will say you don't know if you come to ask me again in the future. I don't like this!"

Yang Ji'er's tone was very annoyed, which made Lu Qing stunned for a moment, and said with a smile for a while: "It turns out that our Ji'er doesn't like this blind date."

"It's not a question of blind dates, but I don't want to marry someone I don't like."

"Then do you have someone you like? Maybe I can help you."

Yang Jier blushed and she hesitated: "It probably isn't there yet!"

At this time, a female guard quickly walked up to report, "Report to the princess, Your Highness has returned to the house."

"I got it, I'll go back soon."

Seeing Yang Jier's nervous look, Lu Qing smiled and said, "The King of Qi is not a tiger who wants to eat you, what are you afraid of?"

"Sister Qing, I'm in a bad mood now and no one wants to see you."

"I know, when you go back, lock the door and hold the door with a few cabinets, so that you won't see anyone."

After saying that, Lu Qing laughed himself and pulled Yang Ji'er back quickly

At night, Zhang Xuan took a shower and sat in Lu Qing's room reading a book in loose clothes. Lu Qing sat in front of the dressing table and carefully took off her makeup. She smiled at her husband and said, "It's strange, why is Jier afraid of you like that?"

"Is Jill still here?"

"Don't interrupt, I'm asking you!"

Zhang Xuan touched his nose and smiled, "I don't know either. Maybe I am too serious!"

"I think Ji'er has grown up and is starting to be shy. You know that Zhang Xuansu's wife came to me today, maybe she wanted to ask Ji'er for her son!"

Zhang Xuan was a little strange and asked with a puzzled smile: "You should look for the Queen Mother in this kind of thing, why do you look for you?"

Lu Qing glanced at him, "Don't you decide their fate if they are orphans and widows? Jier is nominally a princess, but she is still a princess. Don't you understand in your heart?"

Zhang Xuan smiled but didn't say anything. Lu Qing asked again: "To be honest, how about Zhang Xuansu's youngest son? Have you ever seen him?"

"I have heard that he studied in Imperial College and is very active. He likes to play the piano and hunt, and is very compatible with Jill's personality."

Lu Qing curled his lips, "I am twenty-one years old, and it's still so fun. I'm actually a big student. I thought I was at least a county magistrate. For example, my elder brother was admitted to the imperial examination at the age of 18 and became the county magistrate at the age of 22. To be honest, the younger generation of the Wang family in Taiyuan is really not good."

"Not every family is so young and promising. Zhang Xuansu's son's character will not be bad. More importantly, Jier has to choose for himself, as long as she likes it."

"The problem is that she doesn't like it. She says she doesn't want to be picked and picked by others like the dishes on the market."

Zhang Xuan laughed, "This metaphor is interesting!"

Lu Qing glared at him, "What is this? Marriage is a matter for both parties. People also want to know more. They are all people with identities. If they don't come to ask first, what if they are rejected if they are rejected? I will tell her mother about this. The little girl is thin-skinned and of course she will not want to. What if her mother blames me in the future?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Okay, you can discuss this matter yourself, don't ask me. As long as she doesn't marry to Chang'an, I won't object to anyone she marrys."

The next morning, the first consultation was held in the Ziwei Pavilion Political Affairs Hall, which marked the official operation of the multi-phase system.

Ziwei Pavilion is not a lonely building. It is actually a general term for a group of buildings, covering an area of ​​about twenty acres, with more than forty buildings of all sizes. There are six places for meetings, including the conference hall, semicircle hall, government affairs hall, Qinzheng hall, etc. In addition, each prime minister has an official room in Ziwei Pavilion, with two or three working here. Even if the prime minister is not there, it can be found in time.

The seven prime ministers implement a deliberation and voting system. Generally, the court affairs can be passed if most prime ministers agree. However, if it is a major government affairs, it must be approved by more than five people. If this standard is not met, the regent must be consulted.

There are three ways to discuss matters in Ziwei Pavilion. One is a regular meeting held every morning, the other is a temporary meeting proposed by the Regent, and the other is a temporary notice from the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister, that is, the convener of the deliberate affairs and the leader of the government affairs, takes turns to serve, each serving for one month.

Today's first discussion was proposed by Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan declared Su Wei as the first prime minister of governing affairs, and at the same time read out the rules of procedure and scope of authority. Everyone knows all the rules in advance, so I will read them here.
