After Gao Youlou left with a group of guards, Zhang Yan said to the vulgar general beside him in confusion:

"Brother Ma Zhong, the order His Majesty gave us is only to intercept their wealth.

Why do you agree to that guy’s request for alliance?”

Ma Zhong smiled at Zhang Yan:

"Ship Yan is an open and honest hero, so he naturally disdains to be conspiring like us despicable villains.

His Majesty rejected Goguryeo's request for marriage. With the virtues of these alien beasts, he would definitely wait for an opportunity to invade our Great Chu.

Brother Zhang thought about it, what would happen if Goguryeo requested our allies to send troops?”

"So that's how it is."

Zhang Yan laughed at Ma Zhong and scolded:

"You boy, you're so colorful!

No wonder the king asked you to come to Heishan Camp to take charge.

I have seized so much property today, and I should celebrate it!

Let’s go, go back and call Brother Cao Xing, let’s have a good drink!”

After Yuan Shu became emperor, he conferred Zhang Yan as General Andong and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, responsible for protecting the security of the northern border of Great Chu.

The Montenegro Army did not show it to others easily, and it still existed in an independent form to the outside world.

Only the core senior officials of Da Chu know Zhang Yan’s true identity.

…

After resigning from the court that day, Yuan Shu took off to Zou Rong's bedroom.

Zou Rong was playing with her daughter Yuan Qing in the palace, and suddenly heard the voice of the spy Zhang Cheng, the chief servant:

"His Majesty the Human Emperor is here to Rongde Palace!"

The palace maids and eunuchs in Rongde Palace quickly fell to the ground to welcome Yuan Shu.

Zou Rong also brought her daughter forward to salute Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu helped Zou Rong and Yuan Qing up and said:

"You are all my family, so there is no need to be like this."

Zou Rong shook her head and said:

"The courtesy cannot be abolished.

It is precisely because we are the closest people of Your Majesty that we should set an example for the people of the world.”

Yuan Shu held Zou Rong with one hand and stroked his daughter's little head with the other, and smiled at Yuan Qing:

"Qing'er, have you been studying hard recently?"

Yuan Qing nodded and said:

"I have learned very well recently, and even the teacher praised me for my high talent."

Yuan Shu said for granted:

"Of course my daughter is smart.

Qing'er is so well-behaved, I have to give her some rewards.

But what gift do you want?”

Yuan Qing blinked her big eyes and looked at Yuan Shu and said:

"Qing'er doesn't want anything, she just wants her father to come and play with me often."

Yuan Shu smiled and said:

"He's so old, he's still acting cute.

In a few years, Qing'er will be able to get married.

I have to choose a good husband for you."

Qing'er shook her head and said:

"I don't want to get married, I will always be with my father and mother."

Yuan Shu shook his head gently and said:

"Children's words, you won't think so in two years."

Zou Rong bent down and said softly to Yuan Qing:

"My mother and her father have something to say, you can go and play for a while."

Yuan Qing nodded obediently:

"Okay, my father will stay with Qing'er for dinner today."

Yuan Shu talked to Zou Rong for a few words, and then mentioned the visit of Goguryeo envoys to Chu.

"The King of Chuan, Goguryeo, wanted to marry Qing'er, but I did not agree.

My daughter will never become a tool for marriage!”

Zou Rong looked at Yuan Shu's eyes full of love and said softly:

"I thank you for your Majesty for your love for Qing'er.

If this girl married far away, I would be really worried."

Yuan Shu gently stroked Zou Rong's hair and said with a smile:

"Of course I can't bear to leave Qing'er either.

So she will only marry a young talent in Luoyang.

In this way, as long as we miss her, we can call them back to the palace to live at any time."

Zou Rong nodded and asked Yuan Shu:

"Does your Majesty have a good candidate?"

Yuan Shu said thinking:

"What do you think of Bo Yan?

I grew up watching this child, I am humble and polite, and both civil and military.

I am about to open a college degree and get a top scholar for her."

Zou Rong said in a gentle tone:

"As long as Qing'er likes it, I have no objection."

After Yuan Shu's reputation soared, all his beloved concubines and important relatives, civil and military officials and civil and military officials obtained a Peiyuan Pill.

Therefore, Zou Rong's appearance is no different from when Yuan Shu first met.

The only difference is its temperament. Zou Rong looked charming to all living beings back then, but now she looks elegant and luxurious.

It seems that the environment will indeed change people subtly.

Seeing that his beloved concubine was so beautiful and noble, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel moved and smiled at Zou Rong:

"If Qing'er gets married, her beloved concubine's Rongde Palace will look deserted.

We should work together to add another little prince.”

After Yuan Shu said that, he walked towards the bedroom with Empress Rong who was holding Da Chu.

After a tour around the lake, Xiao Yuanqing could not find the figures of her father and mother, and said in confusion:

"It's so strange. Every time my father comes to visit me, both of them will disappear for a long time."

The next morning, three rich young men sat on the commercial street and ate breakfast.

One of the people in the middle was wearing a light blue brocade robe, which was Yuan Shu with the pseudonym Zhang Fugui.

On his left and right, there were two people, including Cao Cao, Guangluxun and Liu Bei.

If the owner of the breakfast stall knew that His Majesty the King of Chu and the two nine ministers of the current dynasty were sitting at his stall for dinner, he would probably be very scared.

Yuan Shu took a sip of rice soup and waved to the stall owner:

"Boss, let's get three more beef buns!"

"Okay!

Hot buns are here!"

Three steaming buns were served on the dining table.

Liu Bei said with a bitter face:

"Brother Fugui, I really can't eat it."
