Today is Lu Tingxu's first day on duty. He has been a figurehead in the Jinwu Guard for such a long time, but he only comes around for a look when he's in the mood occasionally. He has never officially held a position.

However, there were many princes and sons like him in the Jinwu Guard, so everyone was used to it. Moreover, Marquis Lu had a great reputation in the military camp, so everyone was even more afraid to provoke Lu Tingxu.

Lu Tingxu just reported in today. The team leader was stunned at first, but when he saw that he had no intention of leaving, he assigned him a patrol job.

The leader led more than ten people to patrol the streets near the imperial city to prevent people from causing trouble on the streets. However, Shangjing was full of officials and nobles, and ordinary people were used to it and would not cause trouble. Even if there were a few people making trouble occasionally, they were all children of officials. It happened that the children of noble families in the Jinwu Guards could suppress them with their status.

Lu Tingxu quite liked this job. Wearing the uniform of a guard and patrolling the streets with a big knife, he felt very dignified, unlike when he was at home, when Marquis Lu always scolded him for being useless.

After the inspection, they returned to the Duwei Mansion. Lu Tingxu sat inside for a while. Many people came to greet him and wanted to make friends. Lu Tingxu also got to know them one by one and made an appointment to drink together another day.

He liked this feeling very much, and his friends who used to drink and have fun with him gradually lost contact because of what happened last time.

He didn't want to hang out with those people anymore, didn't want people to talk about Yan Liu in public, and didn't want to be teased with mocking eyes.

Now in Jinwuwei, although it is very idle, those who stay here are all children of noble families who are working seriously.

They may not be very capable, but they are all working hard to make progress and want to do something on their own. They are not those dandy boys who only care about eating, drinking and having fun.

When Lu Tingxu made friends with them, they would chat about the Duwei Mansion and the affairs of Shangjing, rather than which family had the best wine or which family had the prettiest girls. He just felt that he had made a lot of progress.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion happily, Lu Tingxu went to Yanliu's Yurongxuan the first place, thinking that she had just moved into a new house today, he came to congratulate her and share with her what he had gained from his first day on the job.

"Liu'er, I'm back!" Lu Tingxu shouted excitedly as he entered the door.

Unexpectedly, Yanliu was not seen in the main room, only Qiuyue came out to greet them.

"Aunt is in the inner room, please go in quickly, Prince." Qiuyue looked a little strange.

Lu Tingxu was a little confused. Didn't they move to a new yard today? He also asked someone to bring in an embroiderer to make clothes for her. Why was she still not happy?

Turning into the inner room, he saw Yan Liu sitting on the edge of the bed with her mouth pouting. When she heard him come in, she immediately glared at him and said, "You still remember to come back! I was greatly wronged today. I waited for you for such a long time, and you finally came back!"

Lu Tingxu couldn't help but frown, and patiently stepped forward to coax him: "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to work for the Jinwu Guard today? Who has wronged you? Tell me and I'll teach him a lesson."

"It's still that Lin Wan! And that bitch Chun Feng. Besides the two of them, who else is there?"

"What did they do to you? Wan'er made all the arrangements yesterday for your pregnancy. No one in the mansion can neglect you. How could they let you suffer such injustice?" Lu Tingxu was a little unconvinced. He now had a good impression of Lin Wan.

It is even more impossible for Chunfeng. He likes Yanliu, and Yanliu has his child. Even if Chunfeng dislikes Yanliu, he dare not bully her for his sake.

"What do you mean? Why are you speaking for her? She's so nice, why are you coming to my place? Go find her and let us both die."

When Yan Liu saw that he did not help her to scold Lin Wan and Chun Feng, but even spoke for them, she instantly became dissatisfied and started crying loudly.

Qiuyue was so anxious when she heard her crying outside that she didn't care whether the prince would be angry or not. She came in carefully and advised: "Auntie, you can't be so sad! Be careful about your stomach."

"Don't call me aunt!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was scolded back by Yan Liu. Qiu Yue had no choice but to say to Lu Tingxu: "My Lord, please talk to the girl carefully and don't make her angry."

Lu Tingxu glared at her and glared at her, then he endured for a while and suppressed the annoyance in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I said something wrong, okay? Stop crying. Be careful that the kids will laugh at you for being a crybaby in the future!"

"He dares!" Yan Liu pouted and wiped away her tears. With red eyes, she said, "Tell me, who is more important to you now, me or him?"

"Of course you are important, you are the most important." Lu Tingxu continued to coax her carefully, "Look, the first thing I did when I came back from a day's work was to see you. You still don't believe your position in my heart."

Seeing that she looked better, he said, "You should take care of your health first and don't take other things to heart. If you don't want to go to Lin Wan's place, don't go. I'll tell her and you can just rest in the yard, okay?"

Yan Liu nodded. She didn't want to look at Lin Wan's face. As soon as she saw her, she would remember the scene of her kneeling in front of her and serving her tea today.

"You said you were on duty today? What position? How many people are you in charge of?" Yan Liu didn't want to think about the things that made her unhappy.

"Today I followed the team leader to patrol several streets near the imperial city, and I met a few friends." Lu Tingxu finally cheered up and became happy again.

"You know what, I actually like being on duty now. The atmosphere in the Duwei Mansion is really good. I can't manage others right now, but I'm confident that if I work hard, I will be able to take the position of team leader."

Lu Tingxu happily shared with her his good mood today, and also looked forward to the scene of himself becoming the leader and leading the team on patrol.

But Yan Liu only heard him say that his job was patrolling, and he was just a small soldier, under the supervision of others. Even if he was promoted, he would still be on patrol.

"What are you doing!" Yan Liu shouted with her eyes wide open. Lu Tingxu's excitement was interrupted by her. He was a little confused looking at her angry expression.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? You are the son of a noble family, and you are just a street watcher. How dare you be so happy?"

Yan Liu pointed at him and cursed at him.

She didn't know anything about these official positions in ancient times, but the male protagonists she had seen in novels and on TV before were either princes or high-ranking officials, and most of them were of the first or second rank. How come she was just a small guard?

And looking at Lu Tingxu's expression, he seemed very satisfied.

Yan Liu was so angry that she almost went crazy. "Why are you so unmotivated? You are just a guard, and you are happy just looking at people on the street? You are the son of a marquis, you should at least be a general! You are so shameful!"

Lu Tingxu's face became darker and darker as he looked at Yan Liu opening and closing her mouth and uttering harsh curses.

"Don't you care about these empty names?" Lu Tingxu asked coldly, "Do you think it's easy to become a general? How can I be a general when I haven't even been on the battlefield?"

Yan Liu didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand. She only knew that Lu Tingxu had embarrassed her. She wished that he would just stop working at home, so that he could at least be called a prince instead of the embarrassing name of Guard Lu.

Lu Tingxu didn't understand. Yan Liu was such a noble and bright woman before. She didn't care about her status and pursued equality for all. Why did she become a different person now? He was able to become a Jinwu Guard because of the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, but she was still not satisfied.

The relationship between the two people, which had finally been eased because of the child, fell into a cold war again. After a big fight, Lu Tingxu returned to his yard without looking back.

The tea sets that had just been placed in Yurongxuan were smashed again.
