Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 517 Returning
Time quickly came to the next morning, which was the day of returning home. Early in the morning, the couple dressed neatly.

Qiu Yuan changed into court robes, and Nihuang also changed into formal brocade clothes. The reason why they dressed like this was naturally because Nihuang had no parents, and they were going to enter the palace.

The couple encountered no obstacles on their way into the palace, and they soon arrived at the Queen's place. At this time, not only the Queen was there, but also His Majesty.

Seeing this, the couple naturally hurried to pay their respects, and Emperor Liang simply waved his hand.

"Alright, alright. There's no need to be so polite since there are no outsiders here. My dear Lord Qiu, you must treat Nihuang well from now on. If you dare to treat her badly, I will not allow it." Emperor Liang said
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely treat Nihuang well. From now on, all matters in my mansion will be decided by Nihuang." Qiu Yuan hurriedly said
"Hahaha, okay, okay, but I remember what you said. Nihuang, you heard it too, right? Can you rest assured now?" Emperor Liang said with a smile

After hearing this, Nihuang naturally hurried to thank him. Then Nihuang was left here, while Qiu Yuan followed Emperor Liang back to the imperial study.

"My dear, if you marry Nihuang, it will be a relief for me. After a hundred years, I can finally give an explanation to the old prince." Emperor Liang said with emotion
Qiu Yuan naturally couldn't interrupt, so he could only stand aside obediently. Emperor Liang had actually been paying attention to Qiu Yuan's actions.

Seeing that he had been standing there obediently, he couldn't help but nod in his heart. This Qiu Yuan could still be trusted.

"My dear, you must be prepared. I'm afraid your recent assignment will change. Don't be too surprised. I have my own difficulties. My dear, you must understand." Emperor Liang said directly
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I understand. Even if Your Majesty trusts me, I am still a prince after all. Please pay more attention to some things." Qiu Yuan bowed and said
"Well, that's good, it's good that you can understand, it's good that you understand, okay, you just got married, you don't have to rush back to work these days."

"You can rest and wait at home for my order." Emperor Liang said directly
After hearing this, Qiu Yuan naturally hurried to thank him and then left the imperial study. Not long after arriving at Kunning Palace, Nihuang also came out, so the couple left the palace together.

In the carriage, Qiu Yuan smiled and said, "How is it, Madam? Did the Queen make things difficult for you?"

"Haha, no, but it's not without difficulty. After all, the Queen has been asking me to persuade you to support Prince Yu, both openly and secretly."

"I'm a little curious, what did you tell them? Why would the Queen ask me? Logically, the Queen shouldn't believe what you just said, right?" Nihuang said
"My dear wife, your words really hurt my heart. How could she not believe what her good son said?" Qiu Yuan hugged Nihuang into his arms and said.
"You, you have already said this to Prince Yu? You actually used me as a shield so early? Who are you? You are so shameless." Nihuang said helplessly.

"Look, look, why are you angry when nothing happened? Am I wrong? Shouldn't I listen to you about our family affairs?" Qiu Yuan said directly
"You, you really are such a fool. I really don't want to bother with you anymore." Nihuang said helplessly.

"Haha, okay, don't be angry. Otherwise, if Mu Qing sees me, he will think I bullied you. How unfair it would be for me then?" Qiu Yuan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Nihuang still ignored him, but when she arrived at her own palace, she changed her face and followed Mu Qing who was waiting at the door.

"Mu Qing, why are you standing here so early? Don't you know we have to go to the palace first? Aren't you tired of standing like this?" Nihuang asked directly
"Oh, sister, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to pick you up. Don't worry, I've been waiting for less than half an hour. Don't you know my body? These are all trivial matters." Mu Qing said
"You, come on, go in, don't stand there." Ni Huang said
After hearing this, Mu Qing did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she said with a smile on her face, "Okay, sister, brother-in-law, let's go together."

Qiu Yuan watched the conversation between the siblings from the side the whole time without any intention of interrupting. Then the three of them entered the back house of the palace together and sat down.

"Sister, I have asked the servants to prepare food. They are all your favorites. By the way, brother-in-law, is there anything you want to eat? Or is there anything you are not eating?"

"Tell me now so I can ask them to pay more attention." Mu Qing said directly
"Okay, stop busying yourself. There's no need for military men to be so particular. Besides, isn't your sister still here? Just follow her lead. My preferences are not important and can be changed." Qiu Yuan said directly.
"No, brother-in-law, you are so open-minded, and you just said it out loud?" Mu Qing said
"What's so hard to see? After all, this person is your sister. Of course I am willing to give in, but if you change to another woman, I won't indulge her." Qiu Yuan said directly
"Brother-in-law, you are really amazing. I really admire you more and more now. Before, I only admired you for your martial arts, but now I admire you even more." Mu Qing said with a smile

"Hahaha, that's nothing. In my opinion, it's just a common thing. It's not worth mentioning at all." Qiu Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Brother-in-law, what you said is wrong. How can you say it's not worth mentioning? There are so many men in this world, but few can do it, not even the one from the Lin family back then." Mu Qing said
"Mu Qing, we haven't even started drinking yet, why are you already drunk? Why don't you go check out the food and drinks?" Nihuang asked
After hearing this, Mu Qing realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly said, "Okay, then sister, brother-in-law, you guys can chat slowly, I'll go see how the wine and food are prepared."

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he stood up and left. After he left, the scene was a little awkward for a while.

"Haha, okay, I'm not that stingy. After all, I'm the winner now. I won't bother with a defeated general."

"Today is a very important day. Don't let irrelevant people disturb our interest. What do you think, Madam?" Qiu Yuan said with a smile.

I don’t know why, but after hearing this, Nihuang felt a chill all over her body, and she nodded involuntarily.

"Hmm? Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you cold? Come on. Put on this coat. You said you were so arrogant this morning. I asked you to put on more clothes but you refused. Now, is that okay?" Qiu Yuan gently scolded.
At this time, Nihuang nodded on the surface, but she felt a little dazed in her heart. For the first time, she felt that she could not see through this man.

She was confused about what he had promised her before. She didn't know whether what the man said was true or false. At this moment, she felt like she had fallen into a trap.

She wanted to escape from the trap that this man had carefully laid, but she found that she couldn't get out because this man behaved too well.

From Yan Yujin at the beginning, to His Majesty later, and now Mu Qing, they all believed in him. It was only then that she discovered with some surprise.

It turned out that this man had convinced everyone without them realizing it, or rather, he had convinced everyone with his performance, and that he had no reason at all. Qiu Yuan knew nothing about this at the moment, he just felt that his wife was acting strangely today.

At this time, Mu Qing came back. He looked at the atmosphere between the two and knew that the crisis had passed, so he smiled and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, the wine and food are ready, shall we go over?"

After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu Yuan nodded, and then followed them. During the meal, the players and Mu Qing had a very happy chat, while Ni Huang seemed a little depressed.

Qiu Yuan naturally saw it, but he didn't ask at the time. Instead, he asked on the way back in the carriage after dinner, "Madam, what's wrong with you today? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, no, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just a little uncomfortable. After all, I was here yesterday, but today I'm an outsider, so I'm a little uncomfortable for a while." Ni Huang said with a smile

"Haha, Madam, don't worry. From now on, my home is your home. We are a family. Besides, I think Mu Qing is a good guy. He doesn't seem like the kind of ungrateful person." Qiu Yuan comforted
"Okay, I understand. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what did His Majesty say to you today? Is there anything you need my help with?" Nihuang suddenly said
"Haha, don't worry, Madam. His Majesty didn't say anything. I can handle it." Qiu Yuan said with a smile

"Qiu, husband, just like you said, your home is my home. Is there anything that cannot be discussed between you and me? Tell me, what does Your Majesty want?" Nihuang said
"Haha, Madam, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. But it's not convenient now. Let's do this when we get home. I'll tell you slowly." Qiu Yuan said with a smile

Nihuang nodded after hearing this, and then leaned towards Qiu Yuan. Qiu Yuan also naturally held his wife in his arms.

Not long after that, the carriage stopped and the two got off the carriage one after another and returned to the Earl's Mansion together. Then they went to meet Earl Wenyuan and his wife, and returned to their rooms after greeting them.

"Haha, Madam, you've been waiting all the way, and you're getting a little impatient, right? I'll tell you right now, it's actually nothing, it's nothing more than I'm marrying you now."

"The position of the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards is about to be replaced. His Majesty asked me to take a good rest for a few days. He will issue an order after he has thought it through. That's what he said." Qiu Yuan said directly
"What? You are asked to change your position? And you are not asked to change immediately? How is this different from dismissal? No, I have to ask His Majesty tomorrow. Isn't this bullying?" Nihuang said anxiously
"Haha, okay, don't think too much, ma'am. In fact, all this is within my expectations. After all, you are a general at the border, and after I married you."

"This imperial guard is indeed not suitable for me. In fact, even if His Majesty didn't say it, I would have submitted a memorial. This position will have to be changed sooner or later, and the sooner it is changed, the sooner I can have peace and quiet." Qiu Yuan said with a smile

"You, it's already this hour, and you can still laugh? You are really, I really don't know how to say it to you." Nihuang said with a look of disappointment.
"Hey, Madam, are you concerned about me? This is good, this is good." Qiu Yuan said directly
"You, sometimes I really don't know which one is the real you. Anyway, I can't see clearly, so I just don't care. Do whatever you want." Ni Huang said
"Madam, you finally spoke out. You have been unhappy since you came to the palace. I really thought that you were not used to the change of identity."

"Madam, you don't have to think so much. No matter what I am like, I will always be the same in front of you, isn't that enough?"

"As for how I appear to other people, it doesn't matter, right?" Qiu Yuan said
After hearing this, Nihuang didn't say anything, but just nodded heavily, and Qiu Yuan also smiled. The crisis between the couple seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

However, only the couple knew that this matter would not be so easy to get over. They were just wise and did not intend to continue to dwell on it.

Time passed slowly. During this period, Qiu Yuan had nothing to do every day. He just stayed with his wife and didn't go anywhere.

It was in this situation that everyone realized that something was wrong. After getting married, Qiu Yuan hid in his house and refused to go out, even not going to work. This was obviously very abnormal.

Without His Majesty's approval, Qiu Yuan would never dare to do this. And it was because of this speculation that everyone started to move.

After all, Qiu Yuan has married Princess Nihuang now, so it is not suitable for him to work in the Imperial Guards anymore. No matter what his arrangements are, the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guards will be vacated.

There had been no deputy commander before, so they didn't ask. Now there is suddenly one, and even if he is about to be replaced, someone has to be assigned to this position.

At this time, Prince Yu was in Mei Changsu's mansion, discussing countermeasures for this matter.

"Sir, do you think I should fight for the position of deputy commander?" Prince Yu said
"Your Majesty, I think that instead of fighting for this position that may easily arouse His Majesty's fear, it is better to take advantage of this good opportunity to stir up trouble." Mei Changsu said

"Hmm? Adding fuel to the fire? Sir, are you talking about Qiu Yuan? But he is also a focus now. If we go there at this time, isn't it a bit risky?" Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, compared to that position, Qiu Yuan's danger is nothing, right?" Mei Changsu said

"Well, what you said makes sense, sir. But sir, what do you think Qiu Yuan will get in the end?" Prince Yu asked.

"Your Highness, according to common sense, Qiu Yuan is a military commander, so he should be in a position to command troops. But because he married the princess, it's hard to say right now."

"But one thing is certain, His Majesty will not leave him idle for long. He will definitely issue an appointment soon, so you have to hurry up." Mei Changsu said
