Jiujiu nodded obediently and said with a smile, "I understand."
Looking at Jiujiu's obedient appearance, Nie Lve laughed, "There's one thing that I really have to thank Lin Wanxin for. If it weren't for her, how could I have married such a clever and eccentric wife like you?"
Jiujiu smiled proudly, "Then my husband must treat me well in the future."
Nie Lve laughed, "It's a blessing of three lifetimes to have such a wife."
Jiujiu and Nie Lve jested and joked, and they were very happy.
During Jiujiu's confinement period, Nie Lve personally took care of Jiujiu every day. His patience made Lianxin envious.
She had never heard of a lord being so patient with his wife, much less heard of a lord being so patient with his wife.
After Jiujiu's confinement period, the general returned to the court.
Now that the Emperor was rewarding the army, Nie Lve was sitting high on the throne. It was not until now that everyone knew that Nie Lve, who they had always thought of as a dandy, had transformed into what he is now without them knowing.
The current Emperor was famous for being wise and benevolent. He was amazed by Nie Lve's transformation, and then smiled and asked Nie Lve the reason for such a drastic change.
Nie Lve's rigid face revealed a gentle smile. The tenderness of a man of iron was the most moving.
"Your Majesty, the reason why this subject has become like this is all because of this subject's wife."
"Oh?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows with interest and asked curiously, "To be able to make my beloved subject change like this, your wife must be an extraordinary woman."
"My wife is not an extraordinary woman. It's just that this subject likes her. She is the one and only existence in this subject's heart." After Nie Lve finished speaking, he knelt down and said, "Before this subject joined the army, I made a wish to my wife that when I returned, I would ask for a title of nobility for her. I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
The Emperor only asked a few more questions out of curiosity. He did not expect Nie Lve to hit the snake with a stick and directly ask for a title of nobility. He could not help but laugh out loud, "This title of nobility, I allow it."
Nie Lve kowtowed to express his gratitude. The atmosphere between the ruler and his minister was harmonious.
Because he helped Jiujiu get the title of Honorary Lady, Nie Lve was so happy that he couldn't help but drink a few more cups. When he got home, he was already drunk and unconscious.
Although Jiujiu was out of confinement, she was still full of lochia and could not be served. However, Nie Lve subconsciously walked towards Jiujiu's room.
Being blown by the cold wind at the door, Nie Lve came to his senses and staggered to a stop at the door. "Servants, prepare a guest room for me."
If he went in like this, he would definitely disturb his wife and make her worry.
With the help of the servant, Nie Lve went to the guest room to wash up and lie down.
The next day, when Jiujiu woke up, she saw Lianxin looking at her happily.
Seeing Jiujiu looking over, Lianxin hurriedly said, "Madam, great news."
Jiujiu was stunned. "What's the good news?"
"Last night, Old Master came back drunk and went straight to Madam's room. When he reached the door, he stopped and went to the guest room to rest." Lianxin combed Jiujiu's hair as she said, "I heard from Old Master's servant, Du Kang, that Old Master was afraid that his smell of alcohol would disturb Madam's rest, so he went to the guest room next door."
Lianxin looked envious. "Old Master is so good to Madam."
Not only was he good to her, but he was also willing to put in a lot of effort.
Jiujiu nodded and asked Lianxin to prepare a bowl of hangover soup for Nie Lve. Then, she got up and went to see Nie Wei.
Although Nie Wei was only a month old, she was very well-fed and was very cute.
Perhaps it was because of the connection between mother and son, every time Jiujiu went over, Nie Wei would smile very happily, revealing a row of empty gums. She looked very cute.
Jiujiu touched Nie Wei's little hand, bent down and carried her into the room.
Nie Lve woke up with a splitting headache. At this moment, Du Kang served the hangover soup.
After drinking it in one gulp, the headache was relieved. Nie Lve rubbed his forehead. "Where is Madam?"
"Madam is playing with Little Master. Do you need me to call Madam over?"
Nie Lve quickly put on his clothes. "I'll go and see Madam."
When he reached the room, Jiujiu had already placed Nie Wei in the cradle, and Jiujiu was holding a picture book and reading it.
Nie Lve walked behind Jiujiu and said softly, "Yesterday, I asked His Majesty for a title of nobility for Madam."
When Nie Lve said that he wanted to ask for a title of nobility for her, Jiujiu always thought that Nie Wei was joking with her. Now that she heard that Nie Lve asked for a title of nobility for her, Jiujiu instantly revealed a bright smile. "Husband, you still remember?"
"I don't dare to forget a single word that I said to Madam." Nie Lve saw that Jiujiu's expression didn't change after hearing the news, so he asked, "Is Madam not happy?"
Jiujiu chuckled. "Madam misses me in her heart, how can I not be happy? However, I can't hide the fact that Husband is promising. I'm afraid that Dage and my father will take action."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Grand General was preparing to cultivate Nie Lve as his successor.
The Grand General was nearly forty years old. He was old and had no children. When he retired, Nie Lve would be the next Grand General.
Now that Nie Lve was in the limelight, all the princes were respectful to him.
The Zhennan Wang Fu had offended Nie Lve when they separated from the family. Even if Nie Lve didn't say anything, how could those who wanted to curry favor with Nie Lve not take any action?
Although Nie Lve didn't like this half-brother of his, he was smart enough to let Lin Wanxin do all the bad things.
If Nie Lve wanted to curry favor, at most, he would let Lin Wanxin take the blame.
Hearing Jiujiu mention the Zhenguo Fu and the Xiao family, Nie Lve smiled. "Madam, don't worry. I'll take care of everything."
Seeing that Nie Lve had a card up his sleeve, Jiujiu felt relieved.
Two days later, Jiujiu's imperial edict and Nie Lve's imperial edict arrived together. Only then did everyone know that Nie Lve was the legendary Military Advisor.
Overnight, the rumors about Nie Lve disappeared without a trace. Instead, it was replaced by the news that Nie Lve had been treated harshly by the Zhenguo Fu since he was young and was kicked out of the Zhenguo Fu right after he got married.
Overnight, Nie Lve became a good man that all the young ladies in the capital wanted to marry. And Jiujiu became the object of envy of all the young ladies in the capital.
Among them, the legitimate daughter of the Zhennan Wang Fu, Bai Xiwan, was especially envious.
Bai Xiwan and Nie Lve were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. When they were young, their mothers even joked about their marriage.
Bai Xiwan once thought that Nie Lve was her ideal husband. But later, after Nie Lve's mother passed away, although Nie Lve was still the second young master of the Zhenguo Fu, he was not as dazzling as before.
After the Zhenguo Fu passed away and Nie Lve succeeded to the title, the Zhenguo Fu declined even more.
Nie Lve, who used to be very satisfied, became someone who didn't deserve her at all.
Bai Xiwan was the legitimate young lady of the Zhenguo Fu. She was born noble. The person she wanted to accompany was naturally the most honorable man in the world. It couldn't be a man who was born in a declining noble family and was suppressed by his brother.
It was normal for Bai Xiwan to agree to the marriage proposal of the Left Commandery Prince.
