6.34 Zhao Qiying: The back house is not convenient for outsiders to go there
Seeing Princess Yongjing followed by Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai on the left and right, the three of them entered the main room of the back house chatting and laughing. Zhou Yang quickly nodded and bowed to the other girls with a look of shamelessness. It was not until the girls left with laughter and ridicule that Zhou Yang He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the non-existent sweat on his head and walked through the door.

"Hey, General Zhou has finally packed up?" As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lin Daiyu's sarcastic voice coming from the bedroom, "Won't any of the sisters be dissatisfied? Why don't you go and comfort us first, so that our sisters can take care of themselves?" Get up and talk privately at home, so as not to upset anyone, but it will show that we don't know how to take care of others."

This made Zhou Yang sigh in relief and strode into the bedroom. The three girls in front of him were the "third wives" of the Zhou family. Needless to say, Princess Yongjing, Lin Daiyu could not be a concubine regardless of her feelings or Lin Ruhai's current status. Xue Baochai It's because of the special situation. Although she is now a concubine, everyone knows that among the girls in the Zhou family, she is the one who has been wronged the most.

"I don't know what the three sisters said, why don't we listen together." Seeing the three girls smiling like flowers and sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning on each other and talking small talk, someone shamelessly went up to pick up Princess Yongjing and put her in his arms. Inside, he squeezed himself between Chai Dai and sat down, "It will be okay if you talk about something. Holding it in your heart makes you uncomfortable and can easily lead to problems."

"Don't be ashamed!" Lin Daiyu rolled his eyes at him, but also leaned on Ailang's left side resignedly. During these days, whenever someone is at home, no matter which girl's room they stay in at night, as long as there are few people, they will hug her together. "No day is spared for free." After all, this girl's fighting ability is not even enough to "fill up", which also makes Sister Lin completely understand someone's "face".

"Brother Zhou, just now we discussed with His Highness that we will send away those people who came with the palace later, so that she can stay here from now on." Compared with Sister Lin's petty temper, Xue Baochai is much more tolerant. "On the other hand, His Highness Yongchang, you'd better take some time to go over and talk to me, so as to avoid any misunderstanding."

"Brother Zhou, before I had time to say it just now, this is actually what my father ordered me to do when I came out of the palace." Princess Yongjing's answer stunned Zhou Yang. Of course he knew very well that this "father" "Emperor" refers to the Supreme Emperor, "Anyway, there is nothing going on with my father. I just need to go and see him often on weekdays."

"But I don't know what other orders this master has?" Zhou Yang asked angrily. He was really worried that the Supreme Emperor would still want to cause trouble. "Let's talk about it first. If we want to mobilize troops or..."

"Brother Zhou!" Princess Yongjing laughed angrily, "Father is no longer confused, how can he still think about these things? How can we not know what our family is like now behind closed doors? How can the royal family withstand further changes? After all, the world still has the surname Guo. If the trouble continues, what will outsiders do if it becomes easier for them?
These days, Brother Zhou spends most of his time in the military camp, trying his best to integrate the existing troops and horses. Both His Majesty and Father are very satisfied. The stability of the capital is indispensable without the intimidation of the three major battalions. Among the three camps, Brother Zhou is the most important. The reason why my father asked me to come here is to win over you and allow you to train with peace of mind. Is that clear enough? "

"Princess is joking. As a minister, you should be loyal to the king. Why do you need to win over me?" But before Zhou Yang could speak, Xue Baochai took up the conversation without hesitation, "Brother Zhou has been deeply impressed by the martial arts since he started." Your Majesty and His Highness Yongchang are so kind, how can you have other thoughts? The Emperor is too worried."

"Sister Bao, Sister Lin, I can see that you all have a special status in Brother Zhou's heart. From now on, when talking to my family, there is no need to call me 'princess' or 'your highness'. Just call me Xuan." That's fine." Princess Yongjing smiled sweetly and expressed her attitude first, "As for what I just said, if the civil and military capitals of the DPRK and China were like Sister Bao, how could they be where they are now?"

"Sister Xuan'er, is there anything else that needs Brother Zhou to do?" Lin Daiyu changed her title unceremoniously. With Lin Ruhai's current "Tianguan" status, she is indeed no lower than Guo Xuan. "The first two I asked Xue Yan to go back and deliver a few pieces of needlework that I made that day. Didn’t my father say that the imperial court is still relatively stable?"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it is the time when you want to make a difference the most. If any blind person in the court would seek his own death, and cause trouble to fall into His Majesty's hands, wouldn't that mean that he is too long-lived?" Zhou Yang smiled. Shaking his head, the two cases of the Yizhong County Prince Incident and the Yu Chong farce have not yet been resolved. Who in the court wants to add their name to the "rebel" list?
"Brother Zhou is right, there is indeed no problem in the court." Princess Yongjing said with a wry smile, "The problems are those in the family. Your Majesty is still a little younger now, but he is the only son of the emperor after all. On the surface, No one dared to say anything, but in private, the rumors of "National Lai Changjun" or "Master Shao Guosu" have never stopped.

The father's heirs are prosperous, and there are more than a dozen of them today. Excluding the second and third brothers who are too old, or a few who are really incompetent, including Prince Zhongyong and Prince Zhongqin, there are indeed four or five This age is suitable, and the royal family has not calmed down so far. If it weren't for the firearms shown by Brother Zhou during the capital riots, it would be hard to say whether someone would be dishonest. "

"Age has never been a strict condition. Donkeys in the army can pull goods for up to 20 years, but they are just a donkey until they die." Zhou Yang snorted disdainfully, "The emperor's heirs Quite a few, but nothing successful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have skipped the second and third rows and found the late emperor who was ranked fourth.

If my guess is correct, those few fools who dance the most happily are probably being taken advantage of. The one who really wants His Majesty’s position should be someone from your side branch. On this issue, the attitude of the Supreme Emperor is different from that of others. Your Majesty is completely in agreement. No matter who he wants to support, it must first be his own descendants, and those who are by his side are nothing. There is a prince, but I am surprised that he has not done anything yet. "

"Brother Zhongshun Wang?" Princess Yongjing couldn't help laughing, "When my father abdicated, the most likely choice was the emperor brother and him, but the final position did not fall on him. Since then, He can only hang out in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has never been able to contact any power in the court. Now he has ideas, is it possible to rely on the servants of the palace? "

"Okay, I don't care how many problems you have internally, as long as no one takes action publicly, I will never take any more care - except for Prince Zhongshun taking action against the Jia family." Zhou Yang said angrily, "At the beginning, the righteousness King Zhongjun made such a huge noise that I did not dare to take action against him directly. Instead, I captured him alive and handed him over to His Majesty. In the end, I just imprisoned him." You cannot casually participate in the internal affairs of the royal family, although the "Gong of the Dragon" or "There is no greater merit than rescuing" is tempting, but the outcome is too unpredictable. Today you kill a prince, and the emperor will be very happy. Tomorrow, when you make the emperor unhappy, he might think that you killed his emperor. Brother\brother\uncle is too cruel and wants to kill you?

"It's up to you." This made Princess Yongjing relax. She looked around a few times and nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Zhou, do I really want to live here in the future?"

"If sister Xuan'er doesn't like it, I can trade my yard with you." Lin Daiyu smiled and stroked Princess Yongjing's head - in fact, they are the same year, but the months are different, "That's the garden over there -"

"Sister-in-law is interested, but little sister doesn't need it." Princess Yongjing pushed someone away, sat up, and killed him with just one sentence.

"If I spare you today, I will never live again!" Lin Daiyu was ashamed and angry, so she threw herself on Princess Yongjing and scratched her in various ways. The two girls started fighting on the big bed, making Xue Baochai dumbfounded, so she had to go up and start a fight.

But I didn't expect that this "blooming flower" didn't matter. Someone next to me saw it with eyes shining, and finally followed him with a roll of eyes. As a result, everyone's movements became smaller and smaller, but the movement became louder and louder, until the whole room was filled with only What was left was a very single sound, and a princess helplessly begging for mercy in a low voice.

Inner study.

"Sister Qiying, this is the prince's official document transferred from the Xue brand." Twenty infantry guns, if you want the next batch, you have to wait until the beginning of next month, but next time we will add six ten-pound field guns."

"Is there any handover document from the military camp?" Zhao Qiying asked immediately, "Brother Zhou always emphasizes that there is an incoming and outgoing, and there is a coming and going. The official documents on both sides must be matched to be considered complete."

"I haven't come here yet. Today is the first batch to enter the camp. It will take two or three days to get everything in place. The final handover documents will definitely not be available until all the documents have arrived." Xing Xiuyan explained with a smile, "That's true. Sister Qin wrote a short note and said she would be arriving in Beijing in a few days and asked us to pack her room."

"This girl belongs to the princess, and she doesn't avoid any taboos." Zhao Yanling hurriedly dug out the note from the stack of materials, read it ten lines at a glance, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou has not given me an explanation so far, Xue But the second master didn’t mention it. This time Sister Qin came over, just as casually as usual, she came to stay with the Xuezhao convoy, and she didn’t even bring anyone to serve her.”

"There are many people in the house now, so why not arrange for her to be with Sister Bao? The most relaxed one now is her and Sister Lin's yard." Xing Xiuyan said with envy, "Also, this matter should be told to Brother Zhou as soon as possible, so that he can Give it a day and take care of the official affairs in the camp before welcoming Sister Qin."

"Then let's settle it like this." Zhao Qiying nodded, and then said helplessly, "Sister Xiuyan, don't have any resentment. Sister Bao and Sister Lin are different from us after all. If it weren't for fate, either of them would have done it. The main wife of a wealthy family; even if there is any resentment, it should be the sisters from the Jia family who have the biggest grievances."

"I was just told a few words in vain, and I didn't really have any ideas." We were not prepared when things happened.”

"It's better to say goodbye." Zhao Yanling quickly stopped Xing Xiuyan, her tone also had a sour taste, "It's not like we don't know Brother Zhou's temperament. They specially 'cleared the place' over there, and even Sister Qingwen didn't stay. With His Royal Highness Yongjing staying in the room, and the three highest-status people all present, it is not convenient for outsiders to enter the back house at this time."

The three girls looked at each other and their cheeks turned red, but no one mentioned the report.
