Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 291 Zhao Pu
Concubine You stood up, walked slowly for two steps, then stopped, looked at the prince and said: "Your Majesty, remember what I said, remember the heavy responsibility you shoulder!"

The prince hurriedly bowed and said yes, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

You Lihua was very satisfied and walked out dragging her floor-length skirt.

The prince saw her off from behind and sent Concubine You a mile away from the gate of the East Palace before giving up.

The prince stood there, looking at his mother and concubine who was walking away. He clenched his fists and said silently in his heart: "Concubine, please rest assured that I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

……

The next day.

Jiangzhou Wharf.

"The weather is getting colder and colder!" Liu Wencai tightened her cloak, shrank her neck, and rubbed her hands together to keep warm.

"It's already October, and the weather has turned cold, which is quite normal. Brother Liu, why don't you wear two more clothes?"

Zhu Xiuyuan is not afraid of the cold.

Because he has a caring little maid Qiu Wen, who knows both cold and hot, and takes good care of him.

Zhu Xiuyuan trusted Qiu Wen very much. He never had to worry about what clothes to wear every day, he could just let Qiu Wen "play it".

Even if the clothes were too bulky, he didn't care. He was not afraid of people laughing and "outsourced" the matter to Qiu Wen.

Liu Wencai, on the other hand, belongs to the type of person who is obsessed with saving face and suffering.

I feel that I am being laughed at because I wear too many clothes, which makes me lose my grace and goes against elegance.

Sure enough, after what Zhu Xiuyuan said, Liu Wencai stood up straight in an instant, pretending not to be cold at all, with a calm look on his face.

In fact, his teeth were chattering from the cold, but he hid it very well.

"Brother Zhu, I'm in good health and I'm not afraid of the cold, haha..." Liu Wencai smiled uglier than crying, causing all the officials behind him to shake their heads.

His Royal Highness will arrive in Jiangzhou today.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others were waiting at the pier early just to welcome the prince.

It's just that it's a bit cold today.

After half an hour.

The big ship of His Royal Highness has finally arrived.

The prince Liu Shen was gentle, courteous and courteous. He was much better than Li Jiye, the king of Liang.

Because the prince treats everyone equally.

He was also very easy-going to Dong Cheng and other officials in the Yamen, but Li Jiye didn't pay much attention to Dong Cheng and the others...

While the prince, Zhu Xiuyuan and others were reciting the ceremony, everyone saw countless wooden boxes and luggage being carried from the ship.

They piled up on the pier and formed a hill.

Zhu Xiuyuan was secretly speechless, thinking that this prince was really in a great battle.

From the looks of it, he probably hasn’t traveled much, yet he brought so many salutes with him...

While chatting with the prince, Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at him by chance, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

Because he saw that among the piles of luggage, there was an instrument, which seemed to be a guqin...

It doesn't stop there.

In addition to this guqin, there are also various kinds of zithers, pipas, shengs, etc.

One after another, there may be hundreds of them!
Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless again, his heart trembling.

I thought to myself that His Highness the Prince might have moved the entire East Palace to Jiangzhou.

There are hundreds of musical instruments alone!
It was not easy to settle the prince in the house he had prepared.

The prince was very hospitable and hosted a banquet for Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai, Dong Cheng and other yamen officials in the house that night...

When the banquet came to an end, Zhu Xiuyuan finally understood why the prince brought so many musical instruments.

Because he is really a "music enthusiast"!

The prince played the piano himself.

After finishing, he asked Zhu Xiuyuan for advice and helped him improve his piano skills... How could Zhu Xiuyuan know this?

Fortunately, Liu Wencai is here. Liu Wencai knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, etc.

It would be nice to be able to chat with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Xiuyuan, on the other hand, was hesitant and hemmed and hawed. He was embarrassed and uncomfortable for the whole night.

……

……

Let's say that Zhao Pu, the Fourth Prince of the Yan Kingdom, has developed a strong interest in Zhu Xiuyuan since he met Zhu Xiuyuan that day in the Xunyang Tower.

After failing to take him for his own use, he tried to capture him and take him to Yan State.

However, due to the cold wave coming and the sudden movement of Beiyuan, the situation was urgent, so Zhao Pu had to return to Yan State first.

The matter of wishing Xiuyuan has to be left to the follow-up.

It took Zhao Pu a whole day of hard work, traveling under the stars and at night, chasing the wind and the moon, and finally at dawn on the second day, he entered the capital of the Yan Kingdom——

Yanjing.

At that time, everyone in the court of Yan State was worried about the changes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Puxing returned from a long journey at night. Although he was dusty, he immediately became an invisible pillar in the hearts of Emperor Yan and his ministers.

"Your Majesty, you came back just in time. Have you read the letter I sent?" Above the Yan Kingdom's court, in full view of everyone, Emperor Yan personally helped up Zhao Pu, who was doing the honors of the emperor and his ministers.

"Father, I have read this letter. I traveled all night under the stars for this very reason."

"Haha, I know if the emperor has a good plan in mind?" Emperor Yan laughed loudly and walked several steps with joy, and his nervousness disappeared in an instant.

"Father, please rest assured. I have a plan in mind to ensure that our country, Yan, will be safe." Zhao Pu was very confident.

"Father only needs to allow the ministers to be envoys to Bei Yuan, and the ministers are [-]% sure that if they persuade Bei Yuan Khan, they will not offend Yan Guoqiu, rob a grain of food, or disturb a single commoner. . And we can also plan a major event together, which is beneficial to both our country of Yan and Beiyuan."

Zhao Pu smiled sadly.

Obviously, Zhao Pu had already thought of this strategy.

"Oh, the good strategy of the emperor, is it really like this? I am very curious."

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and in front of the civil and military officials of the court and Emperor Liang, he presented the good strategies one by one...

When Emperor Yan heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately approved Zhao Pu's request to be sent to Beiyuan.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Pu was ready. Under the courtesy of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he left Yanjing and went straight to the royal court of Beiyuan.

Two days after Zhao Pu sent his envoy to Beiyuan, news of the changes in Beiyuan spread southward.

The Chen court learned the news immediately.

Jiangzhou.

State Yamen.

It is said that Zhu Xiuyuan was in Sima's duty room, working at his desk for half a day. He felt tired, his lumbar muscles were weak, and he was yawning all the time.

So I dropped my official documents, left the check-in room, and ran outside to hang out in the courtyard and take a walk to relax my mood.

Ever since Zhu Xiuyuan became Jiangzhou Sima, he rarely performed his duties.

Like a nominal "honorary Sima", he rarely even enters the gate of the state government.

Today, I wish Xiuyuan could stay in Sima's room for half a day, for no other reason than to take refuge.

Who should I avoid? Naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness, Liu Shen, although he is gentle and elegant, is polite and polite, and behaves like a gentleman in his words and deeds.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan was not on the same page as him at all.

Because he likes to play the piano, is good at poems and songs, is literate and speaks in perfect sentences, Zhu Xiuyuan feels even more uncomfortable when he stays with him.

Liu Wencai prided himself on being a scholar, and he was good at poems and songs, and he was also very literate at times. However, Zhu Xiuyuan was not embarrassed when he got along with him. On the contrary, he was very harmonious.

But this prince...
