The mighty and majestic commander of the imperial guards made his little wife very hard, and Chen Qingqing slept until dawn the next day.

When he woke up, Li Zhi was sitting at the head of the bed.

With eyes facing each other, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but think of all the grinding hands last night. She refused to allow Li Zhi to kiss her, but the facts proved that Li Zhi whispered in her ears, which seemed more intimate than relying on each other.

"Why didn't you go to serve?" Chen Qingqing turned her head and asked. She was used to being close at night, but during the day, Chen Qingqing subconsciously wanted to cover herself tightly in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi seemed to have not noticed her little movements and said warmly: "Today, the palace banquet will be held, I will go with you."

Chen Qingqing understood.

Her eyes turned around in the bed, and the man next to her was still sitting there. Chen Qingqing was a little anxious and held back. She whispered: "I want to take a shower and change clothes. You go ahead first. I will go there after I have packed it up."

Li Zhi looked at her blushing face and nodded: "Okay."

He agreed, but his figure did not move.

Chen Qingqing looked over in confusion.

Li Zhi smiled meaningfully at her and then got up and left.

Chen Qingqing was confused. What did he mean?

Before she could figure it out, Yu Chan came in to serve her. It was hot and the west side was ready. Chen Qingqing went directly to take a shower. Her clothes were gone, and Chen Qingqing sat comfortably in the wooden barrel. Yu Chan twisted a towel to wipe her back, and glanced secretly into the water. She saw that the master was the same as before, with only some green and red finger marks on his legs, and all of them were as white as jade.

Yuchan couldn't help but wonder, does the Marquis particularly like his master's beautiful legs?

Chen Qingqing dressed up and went to the front yard.

Seeing that she was coming, Li Zhi ordered his servants to prepare meals.

Chen Qingqing said in surprise: "You haven't eaten yet?" According to Yuchan, Li Zhi went out early in the morning and not long after he came back, she thought Li Zhi had eaten it long ago.

Li Zhi looked at her and smiled: "Eat some more with you and cushion your stomach. At noon, I usually drink on the table."

Chen Qingqing suddenly remembered the smell of wine on Li Zhi on the night of the wedding. It was not clean and easy to cause trouble when he was drunk. He reminded him: "Drink less."

Li Zhi's eyebrows moved slightly and looked at her and said, "Thank you for your concern, but men outside the Frontier are good at drinking. In order to avoid them looking down on men in the Central Plains, they must stay with their husbands to the end. If they get drunk, Mrs. Lau will take care of her tonight."

Chen Qingqing didn't care about him. After Li Zhi deliberately misinterpreted it, Chen Qingqing simply ignored him and sat at the dining table indifferently.

Li Zhi liked to see her awkward look, and smiled and took a newly washed cherry to her: "Madam, please give me an appetite first."

Chen Qingqing didn't answer.

Li Zhi ate it himself.

There was a plate of local beef sauce for breakfast, which was tender and refreshing. Chen Qingqing liked it very much and couldn't help but pick up a few more pieces.

Li Zhi said: "The jerky beef here also has a unique taste. Bring more when you go back, and you can eat it as a snack on the way."

This is right, Chen Qingqing glanced at him.

Li Zhi smiled back.

After the meal, the couple went to Jingming Palace where the banquet was held side by side.

When they arrived near Jingming Palace, the two met Prince Zhao Ji.

Chen Qingqing frowned when she recognized the person there, but she still remembered Zhao Ji's covetousness for her. Chen Qingqing believed that if Zhao Ji had not been interested in her at the beginning, Queen Chen would not have risked her offensive to go to the East Palace to be a concubine. Now she has married Li Zhi. No matter what her relationship with Li Zhi is, Chen Qingqing doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Ji anymore.

After glanced at Li Zhi's clothes, Chen Qingqing suddenly remembered that Li Zhi also knew what the prince was thinking about her.

"I have seen Your Highness."

As the distance was approaching, Li Zhi bowed to Zhao Ji with a respectful expression.

Chen Qingqing stopped beside Li Zhi and bowed to him.

"No gift." Zhao Ji stared at Chen Qingqing intently, his speaking speed was slower than usual.

Since Chen Qingqing was given marriage to Li Zhi by Emperor Qingde, Zhao Ji has never seen Chen Qingqing again. After the initial upset, Zhao Ji would not think about Chen Qingqing specifically, but every time he saw Shen Jiarong, Zhao Ji would think of the beauty he liked was stopped by Li Zhi. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was more worried about Chen Qingqing because he couldn't get it.

Seeing each other two years later, Zhao Ji was sad to find that Chen Qingqing, who had just been a woman, had become more beautiful. Her lowered eyes could not hide the charm and beauty of her body after being loved by a man. But various changes were brought to her by Li Zhi!

Li Zhi stood up straight and raised his head. What he saw was the greed for his little wife in Zhao Ji's eyes.

As both men, Li Zhi could even guess what Zhao Ji was fantasizing about.

"Your Highness, please go first." Li Zhi moved his steps slightly, blocking Chen Qingqing behind him, and made a gesture to the prince to ask for help.

The beauty I was longing for was blocked, and replaced by a political and love rival. Zhao Ji looked angry and said jokingly: "Why, I haven't seen my seventh cousin for more than two years, so can't I reminisce about the past?"

Chen Qingqing frowned deeply when she heard this. She and Zhao Ji had no brother-sister relationship. Now she is married. To show respect for Li Zhi, Zhao Ji should call her wife. He insisted on calling her cousin. What should Li Zhi do if he misunderstood? Even though Chen Qingqing had never thought about loving her husband and wife, she would never hope that Li Zhi would misunderstand that she had any old love with the prince.

Zhao Ji smiled and saw a knife in his smile, which was very obvious. Li Zhi did not see any anger on his face, and he still said calmly: "The banquet is about to begin, and His Highness is noble, and the commanders of all the grassland ministries are looking forward to it. I will not waste your Highness's time."

Zhao Ji hummed lightly: "What's the point of asking them to wait for a while?" As he said that, he deliberately moved two steps to the side, insisting on looking at Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing was not a wooden stake, so she took out a veil and turned it over and coughed lightly.

Zhao Ji said caringly: "Is the seventh cousin unwell?"

Chen Qingqing thought to herself, I don’t like you!

"Your Highness will not bother you with a small matter." Chen Qingqing said coldly.

Zhao Ji wanted to get closer and ask again, but Li Zhi suddenly stretched out his hand and looked directly into Zhao Ji's eyes and said, "Today's banquet is of great significance. If Your Highness is late, the emperor may be dissatisfied."

Zhao Ji pursed his lips, and he was not afraid of anyone, but his father.

He looked at Li Zhi coldly, and Zhao Ji said to Chen Qingqing in a gentle voice: "Take care, seventh cousin, I have some ginseng medicines there, I will go back and order someone to send it to you."

He deliberately caused trouble for her, and Chen Qingqing was almost angry with him, so how could he ask for his ginseng medicine?

Looking at Zhao Ji's back as he left, Chen Qingqing really wanted to make some ruthless curse.

With a righteous spirit, someone suddenly grabbed his left hand.

Chen Qingqing was shocked and raised her head along her arm and saw Li Zhi's handsome face.

Chen Qingqing was so surprised that his wife was entangled, but Li Zhi was not angry? Even if he just liked her appearance, it was related to his face.

"Let's go, don't let him sweep away the fun." Li Zhi comforted his wife's palm, and his phoenix eyes jokingly said: "You rushed over like this, and those mighty tribal leaders thought you were not satisfied with their size."

He specifically emphasized "magnificent and majestic", Chen Qingqing wanted to laugh and annoy him, annoyed his bastard last night.

But the anger in my heart really disappeared.

After just taking two steps, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but ask the calm man beside her: "Aren't you angry?"

Li Zhi heard this, stopped, looked at her seriously and said, "If you have him in your heart, I will get angry."

Chen Qingqing:...

At this time, he actually had the intention to seduce her?

He said sweet words without hesitation, saying that Li Zhi has not been close to women for so many years, and Chen Qingqing really dare not believe it.

Leaving Li Zhi, Chen Qingqing accelerated his pace and walked forward, but Li Zhi's phoenix eyes seemed to be imprinted in his mind and could not be dispersed for a moment.

The little wife walked quickly, Li Zhi smiled and chased after him calmly.

When she arrived in front of Jingming Palace, she heard the noise inside. Chen Qingqing was shocked. When she was a child, she also went to the palace to attend a banquet. There were many rules in the palace. Unless Emperor Qingde brought the atmosphere to the scene, there would never be such a lively time.

"Men and women in the grassland are not careful about their details." Li Zhi explained to her in a low voice.

Chen Qingqing has experienced it.

"Madam, the banquet has not yet begun. The Empress asks you to go to the back hall for a while." At the door, the little eunuch beside Concubine Chun had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Qingqing and his wife, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

Chen Qingqing had already known that only Concubine Chun and her two female relatives could attend the banquet today. That's right, Emperor Qingde invited the leader of the grassland tribe to attend the banquet and bring Concubine Chun to attend. Where can I give the female relatives of the ministers?

Chen Qingqing looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded and looked gentle: "Go."

Chen Qingqing then left with the little eunuch.

In the back hall, Emperor Qingde and Concubine Chun were both there. Seeing Chen Qingqing, Emperor Qingde whispered in Concubine Chun’s ear: “It’s really a cheaper one, otherwise Qingqing would be my daughter-in-law.”

Concubine Chun whispered to him: "The emperor has enough daughters-in-law, how can he bear to rob his sister-in-law from me?"

Emperor Qingde laughed loudly.

Chen Qingqing, who had no idea what happened, was stunned. Is the imperial concubine muttering to her?

"Sister-in-law, come and sit down." Concubine Chun greeted considerately, and handed Emperor Qingde a warning look.

Emperor Qingde immediately stopped laughing and was arrogant without anger.

Fortunately, Chen Qingqing was not very afraid of him, so she sat beside Concubine Chun and chatted with her about family matters.

About two quarters of an hour later, Emperor Qingde interrupted the two girls with a smile and said, "Let's go, it's time to start a banquet."

Concubine Chun nodded and stood up with Chen Qingqing's hand.

In the front hall, because of the arrival of Emperor Qingde, all the ministers and the leaders of the grassland left the seat and greeted the emperor.

Chen Qingqing walked behind Concubine Chun and saw the grassland leaders on the left at a glance. They were indeed tall and burly, but their hair and beard on their faces were also very thick, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with. In contrast, the Central Plains man on the right suddenly seemed much more handsome and elegant, especially Li Zhi, who stood out from the crowd.

Therefore, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but look at Li Zhi a few more times.

This guy didn't feel that when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, when he went out, Chen Qingqing discovered that Li Zhi had outstanding appearance and demeanor.
