Lu Jing was the first to return to the capital of Datang due to his swift walking.After hearing the news that His Highness King Qin returned to the court, the people in the city stopped one after another. Many women even imitated the ancient custom and threw fruit into the cart, and the streets became lively for a while.Lu Jing came to the palace to report on his duties. He had always advocated conquest and territorial expansion as his strategy, but this time his attitude changed drastically. He believed that it would be unjust to use troops against Fuyu State, which might damage the future trade between Datu and other countries.King Tang did not comment on this, saying only that it needs to be discussed in the long term.
The second prince Lu Hou complained to the king because of the inability to provide relief, and the king then transferred this important task to the fifth prince Lu Ke.After the princes dispersed, only Lu Jing was left alone by the king.Lu Hou privately tried to drive a wedge between Lu Ke and Lu Jing, but Lu Ke was indifferent and expressed his unwillingness to get involved.
The King of Qin ordered the state advisor Lu Jingwei to reselect an auspicious date for his marriage to Changsheng, and warned him not to say too much to avoid attracting criticism.The Imperial Preceptor was puzzled. Since the marriage team was already on the road, why would there be another change?It turned out that Changsheng frequently complained of illness during the journey. Although Dr. Liu responded to the call many times, he was always refused to check his pulse. In fact, Changsheng was delaying time on the grounds of illness.
Finally, Dr. Liu persisted and diagnosed Changsheng's pulse. He found that his pulse was abnormal and he mistakenly thought that he was seriously ill.At the same time, the eldest princess Lu Wan was busy repairing the Xiuwen Pavilion and implementing the four seasons to manage it in an orderly manner.The veterans in the Xiuwen Museum were very concerned about Lu Wan's marriage and tried to take the opportunity to replace him, but Lu Wan's talent left them with nothing to do.Lu Jing accidentally visited the Xiuwen Museum and learned from Lu Wan that Chang Sheng had been ill for three days, so he immediately went to visit.
Lu Jing understood Chang Sheng's delaying plan, so he pretended to severely punish the misdiagnosed doctor Liu. Upon seeing this, Chang Sheng quickly stated that he had recovered and did not want innocent people to be affected.However, this time Changsheng did fall ill due to the cold, and Lu Jing decisively decided to return to the inn to recuperate, regardless of whether the wedding date would be affected.
After recovering from the illness, Changsheng wore the gorgeous imperial robes given by King Datang. Although he felt heavy and uncomfortable, he still managed to go to the palace to pay his respects.At the banquet, King Qin was absent due to illness. Changsheng only saw two princes, but it was difficult to tell which one was her future husband.She asked Jinyan and learned that even Yi'an could not meet her, and she couldn't help feeling a little lonely and confused in her heart.
Despite encountering many twists and turns, Chang Sheng still decided to take things as they come and wait and see what happens.Although the King of Qin did not show up, he had carefully arranged a comfortable residence for her. The beautiful scenery in the mansion gave Changsheng a sense of hope despite the loss - maybe this King of Qin, whom he had never met, was, as Yi'an said,...A good man with a gentle manner and a kind heart.
