Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1126 Relationship
Passing through the outer palace wall, Yalvet soon realized that she was still naive.

The palace Zhou Xu mentioned was much bigger than she had expected!

The outer palace wall is basically the same in design as the wall of a city. You have to pass through the outer wall and the inner wall before you can reach the square in front of the court hall.

Passing through the Chaohui Hall and going further back is the Qinzheng Hall where Zhou Xu worked. Going deeper into the hall are his bedroom where he lived on a daily basis, the imperial garden, and the independent courtyards where his concubines lived, collectively known as the harem.

"You can live here during this time."

When the imperial palace was being built, the designers took into consideration the fact that their Majesty wanted to expand the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and arranged a large number of independent courtyards, many of which are now empty.

Zhou Xu found a relatively remote courtyard and let Yalvette live there. Then he turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Yalvette.

"Where are you going?"

"..."

At this moment, Yalvette's meaning is already very clear. You must stay here tonight and continue to work hard for your daughter who has not yet been conceived?

After understanding the meaning of this, Zhou Xu felt more stressed.

"I've been away for a while, and I have to deal with some accumulated official business first..."

But Yalvet obviously didn't buy it and had no intention of letting go until Zhou Xu spoke again.

"I'll come later."

After making this promise, Yalvet let him go.

When they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, it was clearly time to get off work, but Huo Qubing and Li Bowen were still waiting inside the hall.

Zhou Xu was not surprised by this.

Every time he came back from an outing, he would come to the Qinzheng Hall. Huo Qubing and Li Bowen, who were aware of this, would wait in the Qinzheng Hall and report to Zhou Xu on the situation during this period.

After briefly listening to the two people's reports, Zhou Xu nodded.

"Okay, I understand the situation now. It's getting late. You two should go back and rest early."

However, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen did not move after hearing this. They still stood there, both looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Zhou Xu saw this, he immediately understood what was going on.

At this moment, Huo Qubing had already spoken.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you arranged the queen of the female warrior tribe who came for an exchange visit to stay in the harem..."

At this point, Huo Qubing hesitated for a moment, then spoke again...

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

When Zhou Xu heard this, he had an expression that said 'I knew it'.

According to the rules, even Li Bowen, the biological father of Concubine Shu, is not allowed to enter the harem without being summoned, let alone the queen of another country.

Seeing that these two guys didn't leave just now, Zhou Xu had already guessed what they were going to say.

Although he couldn't tell them everything about Yalvette, Zhou Xu didn't mind telling them some of his thoughts.

"Of course I thought about placing them in a house in the city, but then I felt it was not appropriate."

When their Majesty spoke, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen both acted as if they were listening attentively.

"Yalvet is the queen of the female warrior tribe, and she is also a warrior in the Vajra Realm!" Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen were suddenly shocked.

At this stage, they still know very little about the intelligence about the female warriors. Before their Majesty spoke, they really didn't know that Queen Yalvet was actually a warrior in the Vajra Realm.

After learning this information, Huo Qubing quickly realized why their emperor had placed the other party in the harem.

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty has been traveling all the way, so you should rest early today. I will take my leave now."

At this moment, Li Bowen next to him hadn't figured out what was going on, but seeing that Huo Qubing had already taken his leave, he naturally had to take his leave as well.

After leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Li Bowen hurriedly grabbed Huo Qubing and asked him in a low voice.

"Master Huo, what does this mean?"

Huo Qubing was obviously prepared for Li Bowen's questioning, so he explained in a low voice...

"She is the queen of another country, and she is also a warrior at the Vajra Realm. With these two identities added together, can Your Majesty rest assured that she can stay in the city?"

Li Bowen was a smart man, and after Huo Qubing said this, his mind quickly came to its senses.

"Yes! If we place a Vajra Realm warrior in a house in the city, we have to send someone to keep an eye on her, right?"

"But who can hide from a Vajra Realm warrior to monitor? Once discovered, it may lead to the deterioration of relations between our two countries."

"But if we place him in the harem, we won't have to worry about this. There are guards patrolling inside the harem, and there are imperial guards outside. There is even your majesty, a sage mage, personally in charge. If he makes any move, he will be discovered immediately!"

It has to be said that Huo Qubing did guess Zhou Xu's thoughts.

Although he and Yalvet already have a child, to be honest, the relationship between them is more of an exchange of interests, which is a very special situation.

Putting that aside, how well did he know Yalvette? How much trust existed between them?

The answer is no!

He didn't know Yalvet, and there wasn't much trust between them!
Although theoretically speaking, they are now allies with a unified stance, even closer than ordinary allies, considering the existence of the coalition forces and the greenskins, Yalvet is unlikely to destroy this relationship.

But who can guarantee this kind of thing 100%?
We still need to be cautious.

After waiting for Huo Qubing and Li Bowen to leave, he stayed in the Qinzheng Hall to deal with some urgent documents. When it was time for dinner, he walked slowly towards the courtyard where Yalvette was.

He really didn't dare to stand up Yalvette at this moment.

Zhou Xu was sure that if he dared to do so, the other party would definitely come directly to him.

By then, his relationship with Yalvette, and even the existence of Zhou Ye, would most likely no longer be concealed.

Considering Yalvet's identity, this would undoubtedly be a troublesome matter, and it might even cause some shock, which was unnecessary.

He is now in the prime of his life and can live for several hundred years at least. There is no rush to establish his status as heir. It is better to avoid such troublesome matters if possible.

It was dinner time. Although Yalvet had already tasted the food of their Great Zhou at the celebration banquet in the front-line camp, the conditions at the front line were incomparable to those in the palace after all.

This dinner was also a real treat for her.

After all, the food of the female warriors is a bit monotonous. Apart from fruits, bread and potatoes, there are grilled meat and fish.

Zhou Xu had only been there for a week, but he already wanted to roll his eyes when it was time for dinner, not to mention that Yalvette had been eating like this for many years.

After eating and drinking, the two of them fought again for their daughter without any surprise...
