Chapter 216
Chapter 216
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Northern Di Kingdom.
The old monarch asked the old eunuch on the side, "Has Duan Xuan received a letter recently?"
Duan Xuan is the full name of Concubine Duan.
The old eunuch replied: "The letter has arrived, and it is a trivial matter for the Emperor of Xuanyue Kingdom as usual. The
old monarch nodded lightly and said, "Well, as long as she can still write letters, it means that she is still from our side, remember, if she betrays us, we will directly send someone to kill her." The
old eunuch replied, "Yes, king." The
old monarch slowly got up and said, "How is King Xun lately?" King Xun
is the only prince who is still alive in the old monarch.
He had ten sons and one daughter, but the first nine sons died early due to serious illness.
Now that's the only one left.
The old eunuch replied: "His Royal Highness King Xun has been reluctant to give up since he went to Xuanyue Country once. The
old monarch waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't worry about this, you tell him to let him go to Xuanyue Kingdom again, and this time he must take two more cities from the old thing!"
The old eunuch replied: "Yes, monarch." "
Thirty years ago, when the old emperor was still a prince, why did he seek the throne and conspire with the monarch of Beidi, promising him that if he became the emperor, he would send him two cities.
Sure enough, later he really became the emperor and gave up the two cities, and since then Beidi and Xuanyue have lived in harmony.
However, the old monarch was not just willing to accept these two cities, in the past thirty years, he has asked for three or four more one after another.
This time, it is Chen Zhou who wants the edge of Xuanyue Kingdom.
Staying in the village for a long time, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Bangchun packed their luggage and prepared to go to the capital.
Seeing that they were leaving, Aunt Zhou took out the dry food that had been prepared a long time ago, "Bang Chun, Ruiyuan, this is the bun made by the mother, and the meat patty made by the mother, you can eat it when you are on the road."
Du Bangchun took the things she handed over in his hand and said, "Okay, mother, we won't work hard for you and Mama Zhuang when we are not here these days."
Aunt Zhou waved her hand and smiled: "It's not hard, don't always worry about us when you go to the capital."
Du Bangchun nodded.
Zhou Ruiyuan came over and helped Du Bangchun take his luggage into the carriage.
As the carriage drove slowly, the two embarked on the road to the capital.
Fortunately, the journey was very smooth, and it only took a few days for their carriage to arrive at the gate of the capital.
In order to avoid being recognized by the old people in the capital, Zhou Ruiyuan made a simple disguise on the way here.
The person who came to pick them up was Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng was very happy to see his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Big brother, sister-in-law!"
Du Bangchun looked up at him when he heard the sound, he hadn't seen Zhou Feng grow a lot taller for a long time, and he really reached the age of getting married.
"Second brother. Du Bangchun called out to him with a smile.
Zhou Ruiyuan helped her slowly get out of the carriage.
Zhou Feng was followed by five or six servants, he pointed to the carriage behind him and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I bought a new house in the capital, come, go back with us."
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Bangchun changed into the carriage sent by Zhou Feng to pick them up.
Zhou Feng then sat down together.
Zhou Ruiyuan asked him, "Second brother, how are you doing?"
Zhou Feng replied: "Big brother, don't worry, the emperor has not discovered my identity.
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly, "That's fine, is the marriage between you and Miss Han scheduled for three days later?"
Zhou Feng lowered his head, "Yes, it's just that my eldest wedding lady can't come together this time."
Zhou Ruiyuan comforted him and said: "My mother is very happy to know that you are going to get married, she doesn't care about this, and when we have a chance in the future, we will bring her together."
Zhou Feng raised his eyes, "Well, it's okay."
Du Bangchun sat in the carriage, slightly lifted the curtain and looked out, this was the first time she came to the capital, and the prosperity of the capital made her unable to open her eyes.
Soon the group arrived at the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou's house is a small three-entry house, much larger than the newly built house in Changliu Village.
When Zhou Feng bought this house, he specially reserved rooms for everyone in the family.
As soon as Du Bangchun and Zhou Ruiyuan got out of the carriage, they were taken by the servants in the mansion to the house that Zhou Feng left for them.
The beds and bedding in the room were ready early.
Du Bangchun sat down, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
Zhou Ruiyuan came to her side and comforted: "You have worked hard along the way, sleep well, and I will take you to the capital to take a look around tomorrow."
Du Bangchun nodded lightly, lying on the pillow and really falling asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but when she woke up again, Zhou Ruiyuan brought some hot soup to her.
"Come, drink the soup, it's the chicken soup that the second brother specially asked the kitchen to cook. As he spoke, he slowly set the bowl aside in his hand.
Du Bangchun sat up and took a sip.
Zhou Ruiyuan took a few pastries and put them in her hand, and continued: "I heard from the second brother, Miss Han will enter the palace tomorrow, and she wants to take you with her." "
Take me along?" Du Bangchun asked in surprise.
