Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

The door to the side hall was opened, and Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang were standing at the door, guarding it for him on the left and right.

Zhou Feng put his arms around the two women and said, "Let's go, let's go to the bedroom."

Chen Xiao and Tie Jianguo immediately followed.

But Zhou Feng took two steps and then stopped, turning his head to Chen Xiao behind him and saying, "Release Gu Qianfan and let him reunite with Lord Xiao and his son."

Chen Xiao nodded and turned to make the arrangements.

Xiao Qinyan, who had just stood up and was about to come out of the side hall, followed behind. Upon hearing these words, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked up at Zhou Feng's back, his lips moved twice, and his eyes became even redder.

He stood at the doorway, knelt down again, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Zhou Feng, loudly replying, "Your subject Xiao Qinyan thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Zhou Feng waved his hand without turning around and led the two women towards the inner palace.

This world is truly fascinating. He was the one who arrested the other party's son, and now he's just releasing him, yet the other party is expected to be grateful to him.

The palace they were going to was Zhao Heng's former residence, which the eunuchs had already cleaned up thoroughly.

The bedding on the bed was all newly laid out, the brocade was smooth and soft, and it had a faint fragrance of incense.

Inside the hall, a heated floor was burning, making it warm and cozy, and the palace lanterns on all four sides illuminated every corner of the sleeping quarters.

Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang stood at the shop entrance for a long time, neither of them going in first.

"Come on, we're already at the bedroom door, why are you still standing here?"

Hearing Zhou Feng's urging, Zhao Pan'er finally stepped across the threshold.

Unlike Sun San Niang, she had some knowledge of decoration. The gilded screen, the incense burner with lotus scroll patterns, the complete set of celadon tea utensils…

She had only heard of each and every one of these things, but now they were right in front of her, within her reach—it felt like a dream.

While Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang were looking at the decorations, Zhou Feng sent all the eunuchs out and closed the palace doors tightly.

When he turned around again, Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang were already standing beside the bed, their fingers twisting on the brocade quilt, their ears as red as boiled shrimp.

Although neither woman had ever slept with Zhou Feng, one had studied it and the other had experienced it. Seeing Zhou Feng drive away the eunuchs, they had some guesses in their hearts.

Although this matter is somewhat absurd, they could accept it if it were Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng looked at the two women, whose faces were flushed with embarrassment, walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and patted the spot next to him: "Come and sit down, I have something to tell you."

The two women exchanged a glance, then reluctantly sat down, one on each side, with him between them.

Zhao Pan'er looked up at Zhou Feng, while Sun San Niang kept her head down, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, as if the two had been reversed.

"You all know who I am, right?"

"It is rumored that the young master is a celestial messenger from Penglai."

"Yes, it's true."

Zhou Feng nodded, acknowledging his status as a Celestial Envoy, and then solemnly said, "The Buddhists say, 'One flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi.' We also have this saying in Penglai. The world we are in now is just one of them. As a Celestial Envoy of Penglai, I have the right to travel between different worlds. Do you understand this?"

Zhao Pan'er clenched her fists slightly, her gaze fixed on Zhou Feng, without saying a word.

Sun San Niang raised her head and blinked: "What are different worlds like?"

"Some are similar to the Song Dynasty, while others are completely different."

Silence fell once more in the bedchamber. Zhou Feng sighed softly, reached out and grasped Zhao Pan'er's fingers, then embraced Sun San Niang: "I have people and things to do in other worlds too, but don't worry, no matter which world I go to, you will always be in my heart."

"If that's the case, why bring us into the palace?"

Zhao Pan'er's voice drifted over, causing Zhou Feng to gently shake his head: "Because I promised my Pan'er that I would marry her properly, I must ascend the throne as emperor, my Pan'er as empress, and Third Sister as imperial concubine."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang originally thought they would be overjoyed, but for some reason, they remained very calm and unmoved.

Only then did they understand what Zhou Feng meant when he said that the Empress and the Imperial Concubine were just ordinary titles before they set off for the palace.

Compared to going to other worlds, there seems to be really nothing to say about the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.

Every world has emperors and empresses, but those who can travel to other worlds are extremely rare.

From this perspective, let alone the empress, these two are even more noble than the emperors of other worlds!

"There's one more thing. In a few days, I might go to another world. Do you want to come with me, or stay here and wait for me?"

Zhou Feng put his arm around the two women, his gaze sweeping over their pretty faces, and asked them softly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Pan'er replied directly, "I am already yours, why ask such a question? Naturally, wherever you go, I will follow!"

Sun Sanniang nodded vigorously beside her, her voice slightly nasal: "Me too! Even if I stayed in this palace, my husband wouldn't be here. What's the point of being alone in an empty room?"

Zhou Feng looked down at the two women in his arms, suddenly chuckled, and then spread his arms to pull them both into his embrace.

It's been a while since he came out of the courtyard world. He has been nourishing his body by following the diet prescribed by the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in this world. Now it's finally time to put it into practice!

Let's not talk about raising him to be a Lu Bu among men, but about trying to make him fight Lu Bu in a three-on-one battle.

He has to be a hero who can take on two opponents at once!

The candlelight inside the hall flickered slightly…

"My lord, let's turn off the lights!"

...

"Pan'er, you mustn't do that! It's so embarrassing!"

...

"Third Sister, don't listen to him!"

...

"How could it have come to this? How could it have come to this?"

...

The next morning, just as the sun rose over the palace walls, news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne spread throughout the entire city of Tokyo.

Along with it, Zhou Feng's first decree was also disseminated.

The reign title was changed to Jinghe. Zhao Pan'er was made empress, Sun San Niang was made a concubine, a general amnesty was granted, and taxes were reduced by 30%!

Not all people are literate, so after the notice was posted, a large number of people, who were originally curious about the continuous rumbling sounds in the city yesterday, came to see it.

But as the literate people in the front row read aloud, the expressions of those in the back grew increasingly surprised, and finally, a burst of cheers erupted.

They don't care who sits on the dragon throne, but the 30% tax cut is a tangible benefit for ordinary people!
