The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 540

Chapter 540 Returning to the Palace

It only took half a day from Huiping to Yuanyang, but it was only when the sun was about to set that we returned.

Zhao Yanxun was King Yong, so he naturally had to enter through the main entrance, so the carriage stopped outside the gate of the palace.

Since he entered the city, the news of his return has spread, and the palace naturally knew it in advance.

At this moment, Princess Xue Baoyun, together with several concubines and concubines, stood at the gate to welcome Zhao Yanxun.

In fact, the welcome was false, they were more to see what kind of woman Zhao Yanxun brought back.

They knew about this matter two days in advance, and the news exchange between the palace and the front line has not been cut off. Zhao Yanxun was not traveling fast, so the news was sent back in advance.

It's freezing cold now, so it's fine for other people to come, but even Lin Jingyu, who is pregnant, is standing at the gate of the palace wearing a cloak.

Getting off the carriage, Zhao Yanxun, who was dressed straight in royal blue, walked towards the gate of the palace with a smile on his face.

Looking ahead, at the wives and concubines surrounded by maids, Zhao Yanxun said: "The wind is cold, why bother to suffer this time, my beloved concubines!"

I saw Xue Baoyun leading a few girls down the steps to greet him, and said with a smile on his back: "The prince is back, how dare the ministers and concubines not come to greet him!"

At this moment, Zhou Lanzhi just came out of the carriage.

Coming to Zhao Yanxun's side, Xue Baoyun looked at Zhou Lanzhi and said, "Besides, the prince is away, and he found us a sister. Naturally, we also want to see what a beautiful person he is!"

At this moment, Zhou Lanzhi was undoubtedly nervous.

She is not familiar with the concubines, and she doesn't know if they are easy to get along with, and she doesn't know if they will embarrass her.

At this moment, Huang Rongrong leaned forward and asked directly: "My lord, this...sister, where did you find it!"

Zhao Yanxun was speechless for a while, and said: "It's a long story, let's talk in detail after we go in!"

At this time, Zhou Lanzhi was already walking in lotus steps, with her head lowered, walking towards Zhao Yanxun and the others.

"Minister Zhou Lanzhi, I have met some empresses!" Zhou Lanzhi knelt down and saluted.

Her identity has not been officially recognized yet, so she is just a commoner girl, so she naturally has to salute the princesses.

Xue Baojun took a step forward, personally supported her shoulders and said, "Sister, get up quickly, we will be a family from now on, why should we be so divided!"

As a wife, Xue Baojun still understands Zhao Yanxun.

Since Zhou Lanzhi was going to be brought into the palace, she would definitely be given a title, so Xue Baoyun wanted to "win" her.

"Thank you madam!"

Immediately afterwards, Xue Baoyun introduced to Zhou Lanzhi that the several concubines in the palace showed the dignity of their main wives.

When Xue Baoyun helped her up, Zhou Lanzhi saw Zhao Yanxun walking to the steps, concerned about the situation of the other concubine.

In Zhou Lanzhi's eyes, Lin Jingyu has an air of being out of the dust, standing alone with dignity.

At this moment, only Lin Jingyu stayed where she was, and she only had Zhao Yanxun in her eyes.

"Aifei, why do you follow out in such a cold day?" Zhao Yanxun took Lin Jingyu's hand.

Lin Jingyu said with a smile: "The concubine also wants to come and see, what a beauty the prince brought back!"

After making a haha, Zhao Yanxun immediately pirated: "Okay, okay, let's go in if you have something to say...don't block the door!"

After saying that, Zhao Yanxun walked into the gate of the palace with Lin Jingyu.

Huang Rongrong followed immediately, she didn't want to stay with the princess.

In the same place, only Xue Baoyun and Hou Shiyun were left, and of course the newcomer Zhou Lanzhi.

"Let's go, sister, let's go in!" Xue Baoyun pulled Zhou Lanzhi up and said.

Hou Shiyun at the side immediately chimed in: "Sister Lan Zhi, when we come to this palace in the future, we will be a family..."

"The concubine is the most warm-hearted, if you have any difficulties, just tell the empress!"

Zhou Lanzhi nodded yes, while thinking about the situation in the harem.

From the scene just now, she could vaguely sense that there are two factions among the palace and concubines.

Concubine Wang and Concubine Yu belong to different factions, and the latter seems to be more favored by Zhao Yanxun.

Of course, it is also possible that because Lin Jingyu is pregnant, Zhao Yanxun loves her even more.

The question before Zhou Lanzhi at this moment is whether she should accept the olive branch thrown by the princess, and if she refuses, she will have to bear the possibility of offending the princess.

For a while, Zhou Lanzhi didn't know how to make a choice, she knew too little about the situation.

"Then thank you, ma'am!" Zhou Lanzhi decided to play dumb.

I only heard Xue Baoyun say: "From now on, we will all be sisters, there is no need to be so born!"

After everyone entered the palace, Zhao Yanxun arrived at Yongfu Palace, and before he had time to sit down, he was reported to Zhou Chengping for an audience.

Looking at the wives and concubines sitting on the left and right, Zhao Yanxun said helplessly: "This is really true, and I can't rest for a moment!"

After accepting Zhou Lanzhi, he now has five wives and concubines. Except for Xue Baoyun and Zhao Yanxun who are sitting side by side, the others are sitting opposite each other.

According to Zhao Yanxun's intention, he will have dinner at Yongfu Palace tonight, and by the way, Zhou Lanzhi's seat will be set.

"You guys chat first, I'll go ahead and have a look, and come back later!"

When Zhao Yanxun got up, several women present got up and saw him off.

At this moment in Jinshen Hall, Zhou Chengping is already waiting in the side hall.

When he heard footsteps behind the screen, he knew it was Zhao Yanxun.

"Aiqing, you are really dedicated to your work. This king just returned to the palace, so you came here!"

Zhao Yanxun's voice made people rush to him, so Zhou Chengping saluted and said: "See Your Highness!"

Sitting on the seat, taking the teacup handed by Huo An, Zhao Yanxun said, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"It's already late afternoon, what's the important thing for you to come here now?"

Zhou Chengping didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, the School of Lizheng was originally scheduled to end on the first day of November. I wonder if the time will be postponed?"

This is a big event, not only a group of students graduating, but also represents the inheritance of the culture, so the first graduation ceremony is very important.

Zhao Yanxun couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why the delay? Could it be that you haven't fully prepared yet?"

In fact, tomorrow is the first day of November, Zhou Chengping was worried that Zhao Yanxun was not ready.

"Your Highness just came back from Ningyang, the horses and horses are exhausted... I'm afraid His Highness is too tired!" Zhou Chengping turned a corner.

Zhao Yanxun laughed, and then said: "You are overthinking, this king is not that delicate!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said seriously: "If the time does not change, it will be tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

"What else?"

"The minister is fine!"

Putting down the teacup, Zhao Yanxun said: "Since there is nothing wrong, Aiqing will go back... It will be time for dinner in a while!"

"I retire!"

After Zhou Chengping left, Zhao Yanxun said to Huo An who was on the side: "Tomorrow's ceremony, what are the ceremonies, find out that document!"

"Yes!"

Before Zhao Yanxun left, the Chief History Department and Ji Shansuo were preparing for this matter, but Zhao Yanxun didn't read it carefully.

The ceremony will start tomorrow, so he can only cram for the time being to familiarize himself with the process.
