I traveled with them to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 72 Who Dares to Read (Additional Update for Alliance Leader "Nilan Xuanzhen")
...

As soon as Zhang Chun appeared, he destroyed other people's chances of contacting Zhao Ya. He was a real conspicuous person.

Many people secretly blamed or even hated Zhang Chun, but they could do nothing about him.

Didn’t you hear? Zhang Chun no longer calls herself “slave”, but “concubine”, and it is obvious that she is Zhao Ya’s person.

Many palace maids were filled with resentment, thinking: "Although Zhang is not bad looking, she has no breasts and no buttocks, and is not much better than them. She is just whiter than them. As for Zhang's ability to deduce, who knows whether it is true or not. Your Majesty is just too kind and too trusting, so he was deceived by Zhang."

Zhao Ya looked at Zhang Chun and said politely, "My beloved concubine, please stand up."

The word "My beloved" instantly softened Zhang Chun's heart. She thought sweetly: "Zhao Ya is not bad. It's worth it that I have tried so hard to help him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Chun and Ye Shiyun stood up.

"You've come at the right time. One of the purposes of my trip is to pick you up. Please pack up and come back to the palace with me later." Zhao Ya said proactively.

As soon as Zhao Ya said this, the jealous gazes around him seemed to materialize, shooting towards Zhang Chun like sharp arrows. The resentment of the palace maids surged like a tidal wave, almost drowning Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun's vanity was satisfied as never before. She puffed out her chest and raised her head, like a proud little rooster.

"If I had presented myself to him, how could it have been as prestigious as being personally received by Zhao Ya? This time, my position in Zhao Ya's harem is even more secure!"

At this moment, Zhang Chun looked at Zhao Ya with liking. She thought to herself: "You are worthy of being the good son I raised. You are so filial. Mom will love you well in the future. Hahahahahaha..."

Although her heart was filled with joy, even a little dizzy, on the surface, Zhang Chun still pretended to be calm and bowed gracefully, and replied softly: "Your Majesty, I obey your command~!"

Zhao Ya looked down at Zhang Chun, thinking: "I have to get you to my side and control you, otherwise, if you have other ideas, it will be really troublesome. Besides, I have to start governing this country and urgently need talents, but I am not sure whether some people are talented. I need you, a historical encyclopedia, to help me check it out."

Zhao Ya looked at Ye Shiyun, who was very low-key beside Zhang Chun: "Most problems are ultimately about money. I hope you won't let me down."

That's right, compared to Zhang Chun, who has the same skills as him, Zhao Ya values ​​Ye Shiyun more because she may be able to help him make money.

At this time, Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng also rushed over. They just heard Zhao Ya said that he was going to take Zhang Chun away personally.

Honestly, Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng were a little envious of Zhang Chun. Not only could he easily get to Zhao Ya's side, but he also did so with such dignity.

In the past, Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng would not care about face at all.

But things were different now, because Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng had realized that face was not just vanity, but also prestige. With prestige, they could gain a foothold in this treacherous and snobbish court, and better assist Zhao Ya in realizing their ambitions and ideals.

Just then, Li Lin saw Zhao Ya waving at her.

Li Lin was delighted and quickly pulled Yuan Qingcheng through the crowd. She came before Zhao Ya and bowed, saying, "Your servants, Li and Yuan, pay their respects to Your Majesty!"

"No need to pay tribute."

After letting Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng get up, Zhao Ya looked at Yuan Qingcheng and asked, "Are you the Qingcheng who is good at farming?"

Yuan Qingcheng answered openly, "It is you, my servant."

Zhao Ya didn't have any further conversation with Yuan Qingcheng. They would have time to talk later anyway. He simply said to Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng, "Pack up your things and come back to the palace with me to reunite with Jiaojiao. She's always missing you four."

Seeing Zhao Ya so readily letting them come to him, Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng were delighted: "This saves us trouble. We don't have to rush anymore."

However, at the same time, what made Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng feel mixed emotions was that they were getting closer and closer to sleeping with Zhao Ya.

By the way, how to stay with Zhao Ya without going to bed with him is a difficult problem that Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng have been considering recently.

Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng were very melancholy: "Do men and women have to go to bed together? Can't they just use each other? ! ! ! "

Zhang Chun, standing by, saw that Li Lin and Yuan Qingcheng had already made contact with Zhao Ya. Moreover, it seemed that Li Lin and Zhao Ya were quite familiar with each other. She became very alert: "Are they trying to bypass me and contact Zhao Ya directly? What are they trying to do? Are they trying to compete with me for my favor? Oh no, they may be out of my control..." Zhao Ya didn't care about the intrigues between the four women, nor did he want to care.

What Zhao Ya wanted was nothing more than to hold the five of them firmly in his hands. He must not allow them the opportunity to work for others, or even the desire to work for others. Otherwise, if people like Wanyan Aguda and Li Qianshun got them, the consequences would be disastrous.

This is also one of the reasons why, as soon as Zhao Ya had free hands, he hurried over to take all of them to his side.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Ya came here this time not only to pick up the four daughters, but also to see Zheng Xiansu and Empress Dowager Xiang, especially the former.

——Zheng Xiansu sent someone to tell Zhao Ya that she had something very important that she wanted to hand over to Zhao Ya in person.

Just as Zhao Ya asked the four girls to pack up their things, Zheng Xiansu, Wang Yisu and Yang Jian came with the main personnel of Cide Palace to welcome him.

Zheng Xiansu spoke on behalf of the crowd, saying, "Your Majesty, we are late in welcoming you. Please forgive us."

What made Zheng Xiansu not surprised, but happy, and even ecstatic, was that Zhao Ya directly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms: "I miss you."

During this period, Zheng Xiansu seemed to be in a good position and everyone respected her as if she were really the queen.

But Zheng Xiansu was very clear-headed and knew that she was only Zheng Yaban now, not Queen Zheng, and there was even a high possibility that she would not become the Queen.

Let me put it this way, if others can think of it, how could Zheng Xiansu, who has a very smart mind, not think of it?
The position of queen is too coveted.

She had no one to rely on.

Her family could not bring any benefits to Zhao Ya's rule.

If she wanted to become the queen, even if it was just to make Zhao Ya fulfill his promise and continue to want her, she could only rely on Zhao Ya to keep his word.

Can Zhao Ya do it?

Growing up in the palace, she knew very well that the emperor was the most ruthless.

When the desire for power spreads like wildfire, the emperor's kindness will be burned away by the flames.

To consolidate imperial power, even fathers and sons could turn on each other, sacrificing the joys of family life on the altar of power. Brothers, swayed by the allure of the throne, saw their bonds shattered, and the tragedy of fratricide repeated itself. Within the harem, the emperor's favor was as fleeting as the wind. Concubines fought openly and covertly for favor, while the emperor stood by indifferently, allowing them to clash in this invisible battlefield, completely ignoring the tender affections once shared under the moonlight.

Will Zhao Ya be an exception?
Now, Zhao Ya used practical actions to tell her and everyone else that he was the exception, he had not changed his heart, and he would marry her.

Zheng Xiansu raised his head and looked into Zhao Ya's eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, so many people are watching~!"

Zhao Ya laughed loudly: "The emperor and the empress are being intimate, who dares to watch, are you going to die?"

Queen!!!

Zhao Ya did not let her lose, nor did he let her become the biggest joke of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Zheng Xiansu felt that her life was worth it and that God had been so kind to her. Even if she died now, she would have no regrets.

Zheng Xiansu, who has always been the most polite, now hugged Zhao Ya's waist tightly in public and buried his head in Zhao Ya's arms.

she cried.

Crying with joy...
