Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 128 Idiot

After deliberation among the ministers, it was finally decided that Lu Nian would immediately lead 100,000 troops to Liping County to provide support, and the two counties closest to Liping County would each send 30,000 troops as a precaution.

Jiang Qingyan personally helped Lu Nian put on the armor and escorted him all the way to the palace gate.

Lu Nian hugged Jiang Qingyan tightly, kissing her for a long time before reluctantly letting go, and softly instructed, "Husband, you must take good care of yourself while I'm away. Don't let yourself get thin from hunger, and wait patiently for me to come back."

Jiang Qingyan's eyes welled up with tears. "You must take good care of yourself and come back safely."

He had a whole bunch of words of advice in mind, but when they reached the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back. Lu Nian is so capable, she'll definitely be safe and sound...

With the people of Liping County on his mind, Lu Nian had to set off immediately, no matter how reluctant he was.

He mounted his horse and gave the order to the army behind him: "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" A handsome man dressed in red military uniform was riding a fast horse towards them from afar.

Everyone stopped and turned to look at the sound.

It's Yiluo!

Jiang Qingyan frowned and said, "Yi Luo... what's wrong with you...?"

Yi Luo curled his lips: "How can the army of the Jade-Faced Yama be without a strategist?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Yi Luo, now that you've married your husband, you no longer need to risk your life for me..."

Yi Luo rolled her eyes at him. "Tch, who wants to risk their life with you! I'm just worried your brain isn't up to par, and your husband will be concerned..."

As he spoke, he dismounted, pulled Jiang Qingyan into his arms, and kissed her deeply on the lips.

A moment later, he smiled and said confidently, "Husband, don't I look especially good in red?"

Jiang Qingyan's eyes reddened even more. She nodded, "Beautiful... My Yi Luo is the most beautiful person in the world..."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Yi Luo mounted his horse with satisfaction and followed Lu Nian, and the army continued its journey.

Jiang Qingyan stood at the palace gate watching the army leave until Lu Nian and Yi Luo were completely out of sight before slowly turning around and walking towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

She sat on the dragon throne, trying hard to recall the weapon-making methods she had learned out of curiosity in modern times, and then carefully drew them on paper.

For three whole days, apart from attending court, eating, and sleeping, she stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation drawing blueprints.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the task was finally completed. Jiang Qingyan took the blueprints and ran to Liang Cheng's bedroom.

Liang Cheng was somewhat surprised by Jiang Qingyan's sudden visit. He quickly put down the book he was holding and stood up to greet her: "Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Jiang Qingyan waved her hand, "I already said there's no need to be so polite when there are no outsiders around."

Then she handed him the blueprints and said, "Liang Cheng, take a look at these blueprints. Can you make what's on them?"

Liang Cheng took the blueprints, looked them over carefully, and nodded. "These small items can all be made in just two days, but the last big one may take ten days."

Jiang Qingyan was overjoyed upon hearing this, and took Liang Cheng's hand, saying, "I knew you were capable, you can do anything! Then these things are yours! You don't need to cook for a while, just focus on these!"

Liang Cheng stared at the hand being held by Jiang Qingyan, his ears turning slightly red. The Emperor's hand was so soft...

Seeing his shy demeanor, Jiang Qingyan smiled and leaned closer, whispering, "The Empress previously suggested that I marry you. What do you think?"

Liang Cheng pursed his lips, his heart pounding. He whispered, "I...of course I'd like to..."

Jiang Qingyan teased him deliberately, "Are you into men too?"

Liang Cheng quickly shook his head, then nodded slightly, muttering, "I've never liked any other man... nor any other woman... I only like the Emperor... the Emperor is a man... so I guess I'm gay..."

Jiang Qingyan chuckled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips.

Liang Cheng was somewhat surprised by this sudden enthusiasm. He stood there blankly, letting Jiang Qingyan grope him all over, while he tightly gripped the blueprints in his hands.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Jiang Qingyan raised her head, gently bit his lower lip, and said in a commanding tone, "Close your eyes and open your mouth."

Liang Cheng obediently closed his eyes and slightly parted his lips, as if welcoming Jiang Qingyan's new "attack".

Jiang Qingyan smiled with satisfaction, took the blueprint from his hand and placed it on the table, then wrapped her arms around his neck again and kissed him.

Under Jiang Qingyan's guidance, Liang Cheng, initially awkward and inexperienced, gradually shifted from a defensive to an offensive approach, and began to improve...

After a long while, Jiang Qingyan nestled in Liang Cheng's arms, closed her eyes, and murmured, "Pick a ring for yourself to wear later..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng's eyes lit up with excitement. The Emperor had given him a ring, which meant he was accepted...

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner joy, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Jiang Qingyan tilted her head back and bit his lips again, "Idiot, you should call me husband now..."

Liang Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Husband...husband..."

He used to envy others who called the Emperor their husband, but now he can call him that too…

Jiang Qingyan tilted her head and looked at him, her eyebrows furrowed into waves. Why was Liang Cheng so happy to hear her call him "husband" and "son"...?

Liang Cheng rested his head on Jiang Qingyan's neck and asked in confusion, "Husband, why is your body structure different from mine?"

Jiang Qingyan's lips twitched involuntarily. She moved her head back and stared into his eyes, saying, "Damn it! Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? I'm a woman!"

Liang Cheng was instantly dumbfounded, and the smile on his face froze completely...

The Emperor is a woman? And her husband is a woman?

He and his younger brother lived together in the suburbs since childhood, relying on each other for survival. The people they encountered were all men, so they knew nothing about matters between men and women, let alone women's body structure...

I never expected the woman to look like this…

Seeing that he was stunned again, Jiang Qingyan waved her hand in front of his eyes and said speechlessly, "Explain yourself, I'm a woman disguised as a man. Don't let it slip when you go out."

Liang Cheng nodded, slowly lowering his gaze to observe Jiang Qingyan with curiosity…

Jiang Qingyan quickly pulled the blanket up higher, covering herself up completely, then rolled her eyes at him, "What an idiot."

Suddenly scolded, Liang Cheng turned his head away, looking aggrieved, and silently processed this wave after wave of unexpected joy...

She'd been so tired from drawing blueprints lately that she hadn't had a proper rest, and before long, Jiang Qingyan drifted off to sleep...

Hearing the snoring sound beside him, Liang Cheng turned his head back to look at the stunning beauty next to him and slightly curled his lips.

He carefully extended his index finger and gently touched Jiang Qingyan's features, tracing her outline.

How could someone like him have such a wonderful husband…
