Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 562 No Need to Worry
Hu Yanjin smiled and said, "I'm not angry. We are all the king's concubines. How can we be angry with the king?"

At this time, Hu Yanjin looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Your Majesty, can I still call you 'husband' now?"

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Of course. This status is only external. Internally, I still prefer to be an ordinary couple with you two."

In response to Zhao Mu's words, Huyan Jin smiled secretly and said nothing.

Then Hu Yanjin handed the child to Zhao Mu, who also relaxed the clouds of worry on his brows and hugged his daughter. Especially the child's innocent smile, which made the clouds of worry in his heart disappear.

Zhao Mu has been depressed these days. She heard from Ju Jian, Mu Sha and others that even the joy of the boudoir could not make Zhao Mu happy. Although Hu Yanjin wanted Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, Princess Anping and others to persuade him. After all, they have the highest status and are extremely favored on weekdays.

However, the three princesses all rejected Hu Yanjin. The reason was very simple, that is, their identities and positions were very delicate, and it was better not to bother Zhao Mu at this time.

Hu Yanjin had no choice. Since his wives didn't want to persuade him, and sex didn't work, he could only let his daughter take over.

But the effect is good. Zhao Mu treats his children with a loving father. At least all his worries are gone in front of his daughter, the "golden pistachio".

Looking at the interaction between father and daughter, Hu Yanjin sat aside and watched with a smile.

Sometimes Hu Yanjin thought, if Zhao Mu didn't have the good fortune of being crowned with a seal, but was just a small marquis in a border area, and married her, the fourth princess of the Zhongxiao Palace, his father would have arranged a low-ranking official position for Zhao Mu. It would be a good thing for the husband and wife to follow each other and live in harmony.

Hu Yanjin calculated the time, took out her white handkerchief from her sleeve, and waved it behind her. Seeing this, Princess Jinguo's wet nurse hurried over.

The nurse bowed to Zhao Mu and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the princess to breastfeed."

"Oh!" Zhao Mu reluctantly handed his daughter back to the wet nurse, who then left with the child in her arms.

Hu Yanjin looked at Zhao Mu and said, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Zhao Mu let out a long sigh and said, "Better now."

Hu Yanjin then said: "Then we can consider those things now."

Zhao Mu asked: "What's the matter?"

Hu Yanjin smiled and said, "Haha, you ask even though you know the answer. Of course it's about the thing everyone has been trying to persuade you about recently. But during this period of time, you only listened to the opinions of the previous dynasty. And your concubines also have their own opinions on this matter."

"Oh? The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I think I have repeatedly emphasized this matter." Zhao Mu said.

Hu Yanjin nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed what Wan'er and mother-in-law have repeatedly said. But not interfering does not mean not discussing it."

Zhao Mu asked, "So what do you think?" Huyan Jin replied, "Now everyone is roughly divided into three factions. One faction supports your ascension to the throne. For example, Wan'er, Qinglu, and Anping all have this attitude. The other faction does not support it. The four of us, me, Wenxiu, Yuhuan, and my mother-in-law, do not support it. The reason is very simple, that is, our families are all in the Song Dynasty. If we become emperor here, my family members in Bianjing City may..." At this point, Huyan Jin fell silent.

Hu Yanjin continued, "And the last group doesn't care. Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, autumn frost, winter snow, Ah Zhu, Mu Sha, Yu Yan, and Ah Bi all have this attitude."

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin and asked, "Jin'er, are you telling me all this today to make me give up the idea of ​​becoming emperor?"

Hu Yanjin shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just hope you won't be constrained by everyone's ideas." Hu Yanjin smiled and said, "Alas! I still prefer the high-spirited King of Zhongshan who led us to defeat the Liao army, rather than the sentimental King of Qi now."

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin and replied, "Ah? Why do you say that too?"

Hu Yanjin was a little surprised to hear what Zhao Mu said. Hu Yanjin asked, "Oh? So, someone else has said this?"

Zhao Mu nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, today in the front court, I received envoys from various countries, and Gao's Tubo sent Gao Mei as an envoy to see me. When discussing this matter, she also said the same thing. Have I really changed? Am I not as heroic as before?"

Hu Yanjin nodded and said, "Maybe. But now is different from before. Before, you were just the commander-in-chief of an army, and you were only responsible for the soldiers under you. But now you are the king of a country, and you have to take care of the people of a country, so you have more things to consider. It doesn't hurt to think more about the future and the future."

Hu Yanjin stood up and walked behind Zhao Mu. She put her arms around his neck and said, "Although we all have different opinions, we all have one thing in common. That is, no matter what decision you make in the end, we will support you to the end."

Hu Yanjin let go of Zhao Mu at this time. She stretched her body and finally said with her slender waist: "My husband, don't worry about the consequences. My husband, have you forgotten your wives? Except for a few ladies from wealthy families, the others can do a few tricks. Now Yuyan is with us in the palace and often instructs us. We have all benefited a lot. And I have fully recovered now. If there is a war in the future, as his wife, I can also draw my spear and ride my horse to fight for my husband."

As she spoke, Huyan Jin casually threw a few punches and kicks. The graceful movements seemed to take her back to the time before she married Zhao Mu, when she was still waiting to be married.

Watching Hu Yanjin's graceful punches and kicks, Zhao Mu smiled without saying a word.

That night, the couple watched the moon and drank wine, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

In the next few days, Zhao Mu sent away envoys from various countries one by one. However, Gao Mei was not so easy to send away. Zhao Mu secretly came to the inn at night and had sex with her for a long time before letting her leave satisfied.

Although she was demoted by Duan Yu, they were still nominally married, neither sleeping in the same room nor seeing each other. Gao Mei was not so lowly as to look for a man casually. She had been lonely for a long time since she separated from Zhao Mu, and this time she really enjoyed herself to the fullest before she went back with peace of mind.

As for the court, Prime Minister Hu Yanrui explained the pros and cons to everyone, and everyone stopped insisting on forcing Zhao Mu to become emperor. Instead, they waited and saw what would happen.

Although Hu Yanjin and others were there to help him, Zhao Mu was still concerned about the situation in the capital. Although Cong Longxuan had not returned yet, the Lingjiu Palace masters sent by Zhao Mu and the Xixia Yipintang spies who were seconded had sporadic reports. It was said that the Song Dynasty was hunting down several defected Cong Long guards.

When this news came back, Zhao Mu was also confused and couldn't figure out what had happened.
