The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

The news that Princess Kangshan of Hedong Pei Zhi went to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion to propose to the fourth young lady spread throughout the capital in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingxiao was on duty as usual, while Pei Zhi was late.

As soon as Zhang He saw Pei Zhi, he bowed to him and congratulated him.

Pei Zhi's face was solemn: "This matter has not been concluded yet, it's too early to congratulate."

Although Pei Zhi said so, after working together for so long, how could Lu Qingxiao and Zhang He not hear the happiness in Pei Zhi's words?

Lu Qingxiao walked past Pei Zhi expressionlessly and walked inside.

Pei Zhi was unwilling to let Lu Qingxiao go at this moment, and quickly chased after him: "I want to go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to give her a gift, do you want to go with me?"

Lu Qingxiao turned his head and looked at him calmly: "Are you mentally ill?"

Pei Zhiren was in high spirits when he was happy. He was not angry at Lu Qingxiao's criticism. Instead, he smiled and said, "Why don't you come earlier too?"

"But I should still get married earlier."

"Pei Zhi." Lu Qingxiao called Pei Zhi's name.

Pei Zhi instinctively stood still, an inexplicable sense of crisis going straight from his coccyx to the top of his head.

Lu Qingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and walked closer to Pei Zhi: "What did you just say? Wedding date? Whose wedding date is it?"

Pei Zhi paused, and immediately covered his mouth: "I spoke out of turn."

Lu Qingxiao glanced at him coldly: "I hope Minister Pei won't be so happy that he loses his composure."

Lu Qingxiao left after saying this.

Pei Zhi looked at Lu Qingxiao's back as he left, feeling a little emotional.

Zhang He slowly moved over and whispered, "Master Pei, please don't bother with the commander, he..."

"Very good." Pei Zhi smiled. He knew that Lu Qingxiao was thinking about the reputation of the girl from the Jiang family.

He just lost his temper.

Zhang He saw this and chuckled, "It's comfortable to deal with someone as smart as Lord Pei."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi looked at Zhang He in surprise.

People have always said that he is deep-minded and difficult to approach, but this is the first time someone has said this.

Zhang He saw Pei Zhi's face full of surprise and said with a smile: "The commander has a cold temper and speaks rudely."

"But Lord Pei can understand the commander's meaning without my explanation, which saves him a lot of worry."

Pei Zhi was deeply impressed by Zhang He's words in defense of Lu Qingxiao.

After all, he is a major general who came back from the battlefield, and his subordinates believe in him wholeheartedly.

Pei Zhi raised his hand and patted Zhang He, smiling: "You are very good."

Zhang He smiled shyly, took out two big buns from his arms, and shared them with Pei Zhi: "Master Pei, do you want to eat?"

Pei Zhi looked at the big bun that was flattened by Zhang He, his mouth twitched, and he politely refused: "No need, I still have official business, I'll leave first."

Zhang He didn't take it seriously. He opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the bun. The aroma of meat filled the air instantly.

Pei Zhi had already walked past Zhanghe and could smell the fragrance.

He raised his eyebrows. Zhang He knew how to eat, even if he didn't say anything else.

These buns are really delicious. I’ll ask him where he bought them some day and he’ll buy some to try.

Pei Zhi's pace became faster and faster. He had clearly already had breakfast, but after being tempted by Zhang He's big bun, he suddenly felt hungry again.

He had to go to the court quickly and drink a pot of tea to calm his nerves.

By the time Pei arrived, Lu Qingxiao had already finished reading a scroll.

When he came in, he didn't even look at him.

Pei Zhi just sat down, then stood up and walked to Lu Qingxiao: "By the way, have you read all the files that His Majesty gave you before?"

The assassination of Princess Xuan had already been discovered, and the assassin was a killer from Qianshan Tower.

Qianshan Tower is a somewhat mysterious organization that has existed since the reign of the previous emperor.

Even the Duke of Yingguo and General Lu had fought with Qianshan Tower. Even during the reign of the previous emperor, some ministers were assassinated by Qianshan Tower.

If Duke Ying and General Lu had not jointly damaged Qianshan Tower, the political situation would probably not be so stable now.

What Pei Zhi was talking about was the previous case of Qianshan Building.

Lu Qingxiao pulled out two volumes from the bottom left and handed them to Pei Zhi: "Send them back to the palace after you finish reading them."

Pei Zhi took it with a smile. The bamboo slips were so heavy that Pei Zhi almost fell on Lu Qingxiao's desk.

Lu Qingxiao raised his hand to help him up, frowning: "Pei Cunzhi, you really embarrassed the military officer."

Pei Zhi snorted and laughed, holding the bamboo slips and looking at Lu Qingxiao: "Who told you that I am a military officer? I am a civil officer! A civil officer!"

Lu Qingxiao raised his eyes, with a hint of doubt in his phoenix eyes: "Oh? Really?"

Pei Zhi looked at Lu Qingxiao warily: "Why, what do you want to do to me?"

"The Tubo will come to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor soon. If you are a military officer, you should follow me. At most, you can protect the envoy's safety."

"If you were a civil servant..." Lu Qingxiao glanced at him and said, "Given your appearance, His Majesty will send you to the Ministry of Rites for a few days."

When Pei Zhi heard this, he was shocked. How could this be possible?

He smiled at Lu Qingxiao and said, "The commander is right. I will train hard from today on and will never embarrass our military officer."

Lu Qingxiao sneered. If it wasn’t for Xiaoyueliang’s sister, he wouldn’t care whether Pei Zhi went to the Ministry of Rites or not.

Pei Zhi returned to his desk with the bamboo slips, and was extremely grateful for Lu Qingxiao's reminder.

The Tibetan king had many daughters. Whenever he came to the capital to pay his respects, he wanted to find a good-looking young man to be his son-in-law.

The year before last, a vanguard officer from the Ministry of Rites was selected; he was also famous for his handsome appearance.

Tubo and our dynasty have always had good relations, and the Tubo king was very forthright in paying tribute, and had a very good relationship with Emperor Rong'an.

No matter who he chose as his son-in-law, as long as he was not Emperor Rong'an's son, there was no reason for Emperor Rong'an to refuse.

The year before last, he found a minor job and hid away for half a year, which was just the right way to avoid it.

He originally wanted to find a job to avoid leaving the capital this year, but he was unexpectedly seconded to the capital's garrison, so he would never go to the Ministry of Rites again.

Besides, now that he has a lover, he naturally won't get involved in that kind of thing.

Who knew that His Majesty still had no intention of letting him go.

As everyone knows, Emperor Rong'an also likes to have good-looking ministers serving him.

The reason why he won the favor of Emperor Rong'an, apart from his grandmother's favor, was also largely due to his good looks.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhi wanted to kowtow to Lu Qingxiao - he was not exaggerating at all. If he went to the Ministry of Rites to receive the envoys, the Tubo King would definitely take a liking to him.

You ask Lu Qingxiao why he is not worried?

Oh, who would send such a capable child away? ? ?

Lu Qingxiao is a major general with distinguished military achievements and the apple of Emperor Rong'an's eye. His status may be comparable to that of a prince.

The Tubo King is not really stupid. He is here to choose a son-in-law to make his daughter happy, not to choose a god of war to scare the Tubo people!

Besides, the major general also deserves half the credit for the stability of Tubo.

The way the Tubo King looked at Lu Qingxiao was no different from looking at an idol.

Pei Zhi was delighted when he learned that Lu Qingxiao was willing to protect him.

Lu Qingxiao and Pei Zhi were sitting opposite each other, but the scrolls on their desks were actually taller than them, so they couldn't see what the other was doing at all.

Lu Qingxiao picked up his pen and wrote a lot of things. If Pei Zhi came to see it, most of them matched what he had prepared on the day of proposing marriage!
