The old king was in the palace of Beidi.

The old king asked the old eunuch beside him: "Has Duan Xuan sent a letter recently?"

Duan Xuan is the full name of Concubine Duan.

The old eunuch replied: "Yes, it is a letter to the emperor of Xuanyue Kingdom as usual."

The old king nodded lightly and said: "Well, as long as she can still write letters, it means she is still on our side. Remember, if she betrays us, send someone to kill her directly."

The old eunuch replied: "Yes, king."

The old king slowly stood up and said: "How is Prince Xun recently?"

Prince Xun is the only prince of the old king who is still alive.

He had ten sons and one daughter, but the first nine sons died early due to serious illness.

Now there is only this one son left.

The old eunuch replied: "Since his highness Prince Xun went to Xuanyue Kingdom, he has been absent-minded."

The old king waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't worry about it. Tell him to go to Xuanyue Kingdom again. This time he must get two more cities from the old thing!"

The old eunuch replied: "Yes, king."

Thirty years ago, when the old emperor was still a prince, he conspired with the king of Beidi to get the throne and promised him that if he became the emperor, he would give him two cities.

Sure enough, he really became the emperor later and gave up two cities. From then on, Beidi and Xuanyue lived in harmony.

However, this old king was not only content with these two cities. In the past thirty years, he has asked for three or four more.

This time he wanted Chenzhou on the border of Xuanyue Kingdom again.

In Changliu Village, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun 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 long ago, "Wanchun, Ruiyuan, these are the buns and meat pies made by mother, you can eat them on the way."

Du Wanchun took the things she handed over and said, "Okay, mother, we have been away for these days, so you and Aunt Zhuang have been troubled."

Aunt Zhou waved her hand and smiled, "It's not hard, don't always think about us when you go to the capital."

Du Wanchun nodded.

Zhou Ruiyuan came over and helped Du Wanchun put the luggage on the carriage.

As the carriage slowly drove, the two set off for the capital.

Fortunately, the journey was very smooth. It only took a few days for their carriage to arrive at the gate of the capital.

In order to avoid being recognized by old friends 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 elder brother and elder sister-in-law, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law!"

Du Wanchun looked up at him. It had been a long time since she last saw Zhou Feng, and he had grown a lot taller. It seemed that he had really reached the age of marriage.

"Second brother." Du Wanchun smiled and called him.

Zhou Ruiyuan helped her get off the carriage slowly.

There were five or six servants following Zhou Feng. He pointed to the carriage behind him and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I bought a new house in the capital. Come, go back with us."

Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun changed to the carriage sent by Zhou Feng to pick them up.

Zhou Feng sat on it immediately.

Zhou Ruiyuan asked him, "Second brother, how are you doing recently?"

Zhou Feng replied seriously, "Brother, don't worry, the emperor has not discovered my identity."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly, "That's good, your marriage with Miss Han is scheduled for three days later?"

Zhou Feng lowered his head, "Yes, but this time my mother can't come with me."

Zhou Ruiyuan comforted him and said, "Mother is very happy to know that you are getting married. She doesn't care about these. When there is a chance in the future, we will bring her together."

Zhou Feng raised his eyes, "Well, that's fine."

Du Wanchun sat in the carriage and slightly lifted the curtain to look outside. This was her first time to the capital, and the prosperity of the capital made her feel overwhelmed.

Soon the group arrived at Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Mansion is a small three-story 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 Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan got off the carriage, they were taken by the servants of the mansion to the room Zhou Feng had reserved for them.

The bed and bedding in the room had been prepared early.

Du Wanchun sat down and felt much more relaxed.

Zhou Ruiyuan came to her side and comforted her: "You have worked hard on this journey. Have a good sleep. I will take you to the capital to have a look tomorrow."

Du Wanchun nodded slightly, lying on the pillow and really wanted to

Fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up again, Zhou Ruiyuan brought some hot soup to her side.

"Come, drink the soup. It's chicken soup that my second brother specially asked the kitchen to cook." He said, slowly putting the bowl aside.

Du Wanchun sat up and took a sip.

Zhou Ruiyuan took a few cakes and put them next to her, and continued: "I heard from my second brother that Miss Han will go to the palace tomorrow, and she wants to take you with her."

"Take me with you?" Du Wanchun asked in surprise.
