Since the last time she got sick, Liuli's body has been left with the root of the disease, and she needs to take medicine every day for treatment.Although the medicine was very bitter, Liuli's health gradually improved under the careful care of Ani and Xiaotan.Xiaotan prays every day that Liuli's health will get better quickly and that she won't have recurring attacks like last year.Ah Cheng and Liu Li had a child after they got married, but Liu Li's stomach was still silent, which made Xiao Tan a little anxious.

However, now A'ni is already a well-known local sage, and she personally regulates Liuli's body, which makes Xiao Tan feel relieved a lot.Although Pei Xingjian was busy outside all year round, he knew that Liuli needed to take care of her health at this time of year, so he rushed back early.

On the other side, Ashina Yunyi has become Qu Chongyu's side chamber and is favored by him.In the entire Xizhou, Ashina Yunyi is the only one who can follow him on the hunt.Liuli was a little envious of this and was also happy for Ashina Yunyi.Pei Xingjian promised to take Liuli to the hunting ground as long as her health was better.

Ashina Yunyi gave the black Qiu fox fur she had beaten to Liuli. In her opinion, only Liuli was worthy of such a fur.Today Mrs. Qi of the Duhu Mansion held a banquet to celebrate, and Pei Xingjian offered to let Liuli and Ashina Yunyi go to the banquet together.Mrs. Zhang hopes to facilitate the adoption of concubines for Pei Xingjian. Some people have wanted to take concubines for Qu Chongyu before, but they were all rejected by Ashina Yunyi.Ashina Yunyi was worried that Liuli was afraid of meeting Mrs. Zhang at the banquet this time, so she wanted to drag her along.

With Pei Xingjian's successful governance in the north, his reputation and status gradually increased, and he was likely to take over the position of governor of Xizhou.This news made many high-ranking people see new opportunities. They began to pay attention to Pei Xingjian's private life, trying to introduce him to side chambers and take in concubines for him.

After Liuli learned about this, he mockingly joked that he was their second best goal.Pei Xingjian comforted Liuli, as long as their bodies are well-conditioned, everything will be fine.He was full of confidence in Liuli's promise, which also gave Liuli great comfort.

At the banquet of the Protectorate, Liuli and Ashina Yunyi attended together.Qu Jingtang also came to support Liuli.Many ladies from high-ranking families arrived at the venue early, and they were surprised by Ashina Yunyi's appearance.I have invited her many times in the past, but she always refused, but today she took the initiative to come.

Ashina Yunyi said it unceremoniously, saying that she was afraid that someone would make Liuli unhappy by speaking inappropriately, so she followed her.Her appearance surprised the ladies and made them more concerned about Liuli's status.

At the same time, Su Haizheng was appointed as the marching general manager. He was worried that the other party would retaliate for what happened back then.Pei Xingjian and Qu Chongyu mentioned this matter while chatting. Pei Xingjian asked Qu Chongyu how sure he was that Su Nanjin could return without success.Qu Chongyu smiled and said that he was very sure, and the two looked at each other and smiled.Their conversations revealed expectations for the future and confidence in success.

At the special invitation of Qu Duhu, Pei Xingjian tasted the fragrant tea prepared by Zhang Minniang and understood Qu Duhu's intentions.Qu Duhu admitted that Zhang Minniang's father and he had been close friends, but after his unfortunate death, his health also declined day by day, and the important responsibility of Xizhou would fall on Pei Xingjian's shoulders.

Qu Duhu hoped that by letting Pei Xingjian marry Zhang Minniang, Pei Xingjian would become a member of this side, thereby avoiding the hostility of high-ranking people and ensuring his smooth promotion in the officialdom.However, Pei Xingjian said that he would not rely on others for official status, and would not violate his principles even if he faced the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies from both sides.

He was grateful for Qu Duhu's care, but at the same time he offered to recognize Zhang Minniang as his adopted sister to ensure her safety.He said some sincere words to Zhang Minniang, allowing her to hear the complete conversation between the two, which made her feel a little disappointed.

In the front hall, the fight between the ladies was also extremely fierce, no less than on the battlefield.With the help of Ashina Yunyi and Qu Jingtang, Liuli successfully resisted the attacks of the ladies.Liuli made the ladies speechless with some witty words. The three of them stood up and left the table. Mrs. Qi hurriedly saw her off. The other ladies looked at each other in shock.

Liuli called Pei Xingjian away on the grounds of physical discomfort. Wang Junmeng was dissatisfied and came to Qu Duhu to inquire about the news. Qu Duhu failed to successfully promote the matter and was a little annoyed.He told Wang Junmeng that if those people really made trouble, they must turn around.

Pei Xingjian hurried back home and was relieved to see Liuli safe and sound.Qu Chongyu and Ashina Yunyi were already waiting there.Pei Xingjian informed everyone of the Protector's intentions and had to recognize Zhang Minniang as his adopted sister.Ashina Yunyi disliked Zhang Minniang the most, and she told Liuli to find her to deal with Zhang Minniang if she came.Liuli advised Ashina Yunyi to rest assured that she would not let Zhang Minniang bother everyone.

The next day, Zhang Minniang came to Liuli to make tea.Ashina Yunyi rushed over immediately after getting the news, fearing that Liuli would be annoyed by Zhang Minniang, so she was ready to fight at any time.Liuli also painted for Ashina Yunyi on the spot. Ashina Yunyi was very happy, and Zhang Minniang was also amazed by Liuli's paintings.Liuli offered to help Zhang Minniang paint a painting, but Zhang Minniang did not refuse.
