"As for what you all said about the Crown Prince not having any achievements, it is just that the prince is in his prime, and the Crown Prince has been busy dealing with the marriages granted by His Majesty in the past two years, and has been busy in the capital. But few people in Liyang City have seen the Crown Prince when he was full of vigor and ambition."

Lu Linzhi rubbed his brows lightly and said calmly, "The southern border is unstable right now. Why don't we ask the prince for permission to lead the troops to destroy Dali? This will not only completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the southern border for your majesty and Dakang, but also let the uncles and brothers see the prince's determination to protect the children of the clan and the people of Liyang."

Lu Chen missed his son the most when he was full of vigor and vitality. At that time, he also felt that the Liyang Palace had a successor, and this son would surely lead the Lu family to a higher level.

But in the past few years, he has let that bitch wear down his resolve, which is really annoying.

After listening to Lin Zhi's advice, his inner expectations were rekindled for a time, but when Lao Chen's gaze fell on Lu Linchu, there was still distrust in his eyes.

Lu Linchu had already promised to destroy Dali before the Crown Princess' birthday as a birthday gift.

After the commotion caused by his eldest brother and the Ye siblings, he thought it would take a lot of effort to gain his father's trust. He never expected that the fourth brother would be inclined towards him at this time.

He immediately stood up and vowed, "I am willing to lead the troops to fight and destroy Dali before the Double Ninth Festival. I only ask that my father keep his promise and approve my adoption."

"Cousin, please don't be so arrogant."

Ye Zhan said with a sarcastic smile: "Marching and fighting is no joke. Although the Dali Kingdom is a small country, it has a strong military force. Even my uncle has won and lost against it over the years. My cousin has never led an army, so how can he know how to deploy troops and how many troops to use to fight the enemy..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Linchu's eyes were already determined: "Please give me five hundred warriors, and we will attack the capital of Dali before the Double Ninth Festival."

"Sir, this is not something you can take lightly."

Lu Linfeng was quite surprised when he heard this: "No matter how brave the five hundred warriors are, how can they defeat the thousands of troops of Dali?"

"A gentleman's promise is as good as his bond."

There was still no fear in Lu Linchu's eyes: "Your son is willing to issue a military order."

"this......"

Lu Chen and Ye Zhilan looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

Fu Guiyun saw in Lu Linchu's eyes the image of the young man who was so brave back then.

Lu Linzhi helped to broker this matter today. She knew that this was the best time to help the Young Master establish his authority.

Even if they cannot capture Dali, if they can achieve a few great victories, the Ye family will not interfere in the adoption matter.

"It is a blessing for the Liyang Palace and a blessing for Dakang that the prince has such great ambitions."

Fu Guiyun said slowly and generously: "I believe in my husband, and everyone here should also believe that if a minister has doubts about his master, how can he be loyal and assist him in the future, and how can he achieve unity between the master and the minister?"

The voice was gentle, but it made everyone present fall into deep thought.

It was not until this moment that Ye Zhan realized belatedly that no matter how many complaints he had against his cousin, he would be the future master of the Liyang Palace, and this was an unchangeable fact.

Lu Chen did not hesitate any longer and immediately made the decision: "Your Highness is very brave. I will give you a thousand warriors and order you to set out on a certain day."

"I will never fail my father's trust."

Lu Linchu looked at Fu Guiyun with gratitude. She was really smart and left everyone speechless with just one sentence.

It's a pity that her heart is not with me.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. It's a rare occasion for the family to get together. Let's not talk about military affairs anymore."

Ye Zhilan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Kuizi, Huang Sheng, let's start the banquet soon."

After receiving the princess's order, the dining hall once again returned to its harmonious and happy atmosphere, and no one dared to discuss other matters.

However, this time when they returned to Liyang City, the two little guys were repeatedly treated poorly by their elders. They felt more and more aggrieved. They sat between Ye Zhilan and Fu Guiyun with unhappy expressions and had no appetite.

Fu Guiyun coaxed the brother and sister to eat some food, and then went back to Chuxian Palace first.

After coming out of the dining hall, Lu Qingchen kept his head down until he returned to the bedroom. He raised his head and stared at Fu Guiyun blankly and asked, "Don't they want my sister and I to call you mother?"

Fu Guiyun smiled faintly and asked back expectantly: "Do you want to call me mother?"

Lu Qingchen lowered her head shyly, silently tearing at her sleeves with her little hands.

Fu Guiyun gently stroked his temples, then carried the brother and sister to the bed and sat down, saying softly, "As long as I'm still here, they can't embarrass you."

Then he ordered Cuiluo to serve the two of them while they rested.

She turned around and was about to leave when Lu Qingchen's childish voice suddenly sounded behind her: "I hope Daddy can win this battle."

Fu Guiyun paused and couldn't help feeling happy.

He hopes that his father will win the battle, which is equivalent to wanting to call himself mother.

"Your father will."

After uttering a few words lightly, Fu Guiyun immediately left the dormitory.

When he returned to his room and had just taken a shower and changed his clothes, he heard the voices of Nanny Tong and Qinglu calling the prince outside.

Then, Lu Linchu walked in slowly.

Fu Guiyun was about to stand up, but Lu Linchu waved his hand calmly: "No need to be polite, I just came here to sit down."

Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on him, Fu Guiyun poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. He stared at him quietly as he sat down and sipped the warm tea.

Guessing that he was upset because of what happened today, Fu Guiyun patiently advised him, "Your Highness, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The conquest of Dali needs to be done slowly."

"I promised you, and I will never break my promise."

Lu Linchu said firmly: "I will definitely capture Dali before Double Ninth Festival."

Knowing that he was determined, Fu Guiyun did not persuade him any further, and only said: "Then I wish you a speedy return."

Lu Linchu suddenly fell silent, sipping his tea with his head down with a dazed look in his eyes. Fu Guiyun didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, he suddenly uttered a few words lightly: "Guiyun, have you ever blamed your father and mother for ruining your marriage with the Song family?"

"Why did the prince suddenly ask this?"

Fu Guiyun felt that his question was a bit strange.

Lu Linchu raised his head and looked at her closely. After pondering for a while, he slowly stood up and walked towards her.

The two looked at each other, and he spoke with dissatisfaction: "Why did you lie to mother and ask Doctor Liu to visit you?"

“So it’s because of this.”

Fu Guiyun couldn't help but smile secretly.

I did not lie to my mother-in-law, they had indeed slept together.

Moreover, she had never resisted, it was just that everyone liked to passively accept it.

You can't ask yourself, a prince's consort, to learn the skills of those in brothels to please the emperor.

"Mother is hoping that the prince and I can have a happy marriage soon. I cannot disappoint you."

Fu Guiyun said casually: "Besides, I have been feeling a little tired recently, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask Doctor Liu to help me take care of myself."

"Mother, are you looking forward to our early happiness?"

Lu Linchu sighed weakly and looked at her expectantly: "What about you?"
