……

Tonghui Estuary.

Fang Ru sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains of the car window, and watched Emperor Deqing and a group of accompanying officials get on the dragon boat, and then in the sound of gongs and drums, the dragon boat slowly moved and headed towards Tongzhou, and a trace of regret and gloom flashed in his beautiful eyes.

Fang Ru appeared here, naturally to bid farewell to Zhao Junchen.

Originally, Fang Ru planned to go south with Zhao Junchen, in addition to wanting to continue to accompany Zhao Junchen, but also to go to Yangzhou with Zhao Junchen to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

Zhao Junchen had already agreed to Fang Ru about this matter, and Fang Ru was happy for a long time.

After all, if Fang Ru can accompany Zhao Junchen to Yangzhou to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, it means that Fang Ru has been fully recognized by the Zhao family's clan, and then wait until Zhao Junchen marries her as a side room after the southern tour, then Fang Ru's status in the Zhao Mansion will be justified and unshakable, even if Zhao Junchen marries a wife in the future, this wife will never dare to provoke Fang Ru lightly!

It's a pity that because of the open and secret battles in the court, Zuo Lanshan, the squire of the Ministry of Works, also has to accompany him to the south, and there is no one in the center of the capital who can preside over the overall situation, Zhao Junchen is quite worried about this, and frowns and thinks about countermeasures for a night.

In Fang Ru's eyes, Zhao Junchen had too many things to consider, not only to do his best for the people of the country, but also to plan and calculate for the struggle for power. Quite tired.

Fang Ru felt sorry for Zhao Junchen, and always tried her best to share the burden for Zhao Junchen. Unconsciously, this had become Fang Ru's instinct.

So. After seeing Zhao Junchen's troubles, and after a whole night of tossing and turning and contradictory considerations, Fang Ru finally made up her mind, and took the initiative to propose to Zhao Junchen that she wanted to stay in the capital and secretly control the situation of the Zhao Party instead of Zhao Junchen when Zhao Junchen went south!

Being able to accompany Zhao Junchen to Yangzhou to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors will certainly make Fang Ru feel satisfied and relieved, but compared with his own satisfaction and peace of mind, Fang Ru still hopes that Zhao Junchen can be more relaxed. Even if it will be wronged by yourself.

Perhaps, Fang Ru, a strong woman who is shrewd and capable on the surface, is essentially a very simple and easy-to-understand little woman - it's just that she thinks about Zhao Junchen wholeheartedly and does her best to solve problems for Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen's happiness and distress, that is, her own happiness and distress, that's all.

……

When Fang Ru proposed that he wanted to stay in the capital, Zhao Junchen did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a long time.

Because. Zhao Junchen also knows how much Fang Ru is looking forward to going to Yangzhou with him these days to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors - on the occasion of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, what kind of clothes should he wear and what kind of hairstyle should he wear to be the most decent and dignified? Even such small details. Fang Ru thought about it a lot, and even Fang Ru prepared appropriate gifts for everyone in the Zhao family in Yangzhou!

Because of this, Zhao Junchen really didn't want to disappoint Fang Ru.

But. After thinking about it for a long time and hesitating for a long time, Zhao Junchen finally felt a little guilty. Agreed with Fang Ru's suggestion.

After all, when he and Zuo Lanshan were both accompanying him to the south. Zhao Junchen really needs a trustworthy person to help him control the situation in the capital.

This trust is not only trust in loyalty, but also trust in ability.

Combining these two aspects, Fang Ru is indeed the best candidate, her loyalty to Zhao Junchen is impeccable, and during this period of time, Fang Ru has helped Zhao Junchen deal with intelligence matters, and has completely demonstrated the ability and courage of Xu Mei.

"Ru'er, I am by no means a gentleman who keeps my promises, and between the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, I have also done a lot of untrustworthy and untrustworthy things, but this is only for the hundred officials in the temple and the political enemies of the court, but for you, I have always hoped that I will abide by my promise and make a promise......

Originally, it was a good thing to let you go to Yangzhou with me to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, but this time, it was destined to miss the appointment, in fact, even if you didn't take the initiative, maybe I would eventually make the same decision! When I think about it, I owe you so much that I don't even know how to compensate you......

Now, the general trend is undecided, I can't promise you anything specifically, I can only say that after the end of the southern tour, no matter what, I will officially marry you, although it is only the identity of the side room, but in my heart, Ru'er you are my real wife and only wife, no matter how you and I change in the future, I will never leave ......"

Fang Ru is indeed a little woman, no matter how spicy and shrewd she is, she can't change this essence.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, the original loss and grievance in his heart dissipated most of them in an instant, and he began to feel happy that he could help Zhao Junchen share the pressure and get Zhao Junchen's commitment.

At this time, Fang Ru sat in the carriage, watching the dragon boat carrying Zhao Junchen gradually move away, seeing the dragon boat gradually shrinking and disappearing in the field of vision, it seemed to be satisfied and seemed to regret, Fang Ru sighed lightly, put down the curtains of the car window, and when she turned her head, her expression was already restored to her usual shrewdness and ability.

"Let's go home."

Fang Ru commanded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, on the Tonghui River, among the southern patrol fleet.

For Emperor Deqing's southern tour, Zhao Junchen and the Ministry of Industry worked together to find a way to spend a lot of gold, silver, timber, and labor, and prepare nine large ships and five medium-sized ships as the fleet of Emperor Deqing's southern tour.

Among them, except for a large dragon ship with extremely luxurious decoration as the imperial seat ship of the Deqing Emperor, and another large ship used to hold various imperial supplies, the other ships were used to carry the accompanying officials, the officials' entourage, and the forbidden soldiers who escorted them.

At this time, Zhao Junchen was also standing at the stern of a large ship, looking at the direction of the capital from afar.

"Southern Tour...... After a lot of quarrels, and more than half a year of preparation, there were many twists and turns, and now it has finally begun, and speaking of which, I am quite looking forward to it. Zhao Junchen sighed lightly, and turned his head to Xu Qingyan and smiled: "According to the itinerary, in about twenty days, we will be able to arrive in Yangzhou, and then we will be able to meet your father, Old Master Xu." After the end of the southern tour, we will take Mr. Xu to live in the capital by the way, so that he can enjoy his old age by our side, we have enjoyed happiness in the capital over the years, but let Mr. Xu stay alone in Yangzhou, and now I think about it is also a little uneasy. ”

This time, although Zhao Junchen did not take Fang Ru south, he took Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi with him.

With Xu Qingyan is because Zhao Junchen is used to him, not to mention that Xu Qingyan is originally from Yangzhou, and he is familiar with the road over there, but with Chu Jiayi is just in case, during the southern tour, it is really difficult to feel at ease to keep such a spy in the mansion, even if it is a lame spy like Chu Jiayi.

On the other side, after Xu Qingyan heard Zhao Junchen's words, his expression was full of complexity, and he said, "As long as Daddy doesn't always find fault with me." ”

That is what he said, but there was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile, and then instructed Chu Jiayi on the other side: "During the southern tour, you don't have to be by my side all the time, and I don't need you to serve, you still go to Miss Cui to take care of her, now she is accompanied by her father Cui Yu, and she is also strangely lonely, and you are familiar with her, if you accompany her, she can feel better." ”

It turned out that during Emperor Deqing's southern tour, the three women who had been "on a blind date" with Zhao Junchen were all peers.

Among them, Su Xiuning's father Su Changyi was originally the governor of Nanzhili, and he only came to the capital to live temporarily because of the call of Emperor Deqing, and now Emperor Deqing is on his southern tour, Su Changyi naturally has to accompany him as a "landlord", and Su Xiuning naturally has to follow her father.

And Jing Guogong Chen You and Chen Zhirong, father and daughter, also managed to blend into the list of escorts on the southern tour for the purpose of getting close to Zhao Junchen.

Then, Emperor Deqing saw that Su Xiuning and Chen Zhirong were accompanying their respective fathers to the south, so he personally issued a holy decree and ordered Cui Yu and Cui Qianxue to also accompany the father and daughter to the south, after all, these three women are the future wife candidates for Zhao Junchen circled by Emperor Deqing, and at this time, Emperor Deqing naturally has to have a fair attitude and equal opportunities.

In this way, Su Xiuning, Chen Zhirong, and Cui Qianxue all accompanied the south, and they also took the same ship as Zhao Junchen.

On the other side, hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Chu Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

These days, Cui Qianxue's love has become more and more dull, although Zhao Junchen has blocked the news, but she sees that she has been living in Zhao's mansion, but her grandfather Cui Mian has not come to see her for a long time, and there is not even any news, and she seems to realize something in her heart, so she has few words all day, and she no longer sees her former innocent and lively appearance.

In this regard, Zhao Junchen has nothing to do, he just hopes that this southern tour can make Cui Qianxue's mood better.

Then, Zhao Junchen commanded: "Now it's different from usual, we are not in our own house, this ship in addition to us, there are many dignitaries and nobles, although I am not afraid of them, but I am not willing to cause trouble lightly, you as my people, you should also try to be friendly during this time, don't cause trouble, of course, if someone deliberately provokes, you don't need to tolerate it, I will naturally make decisions for you." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi also nodded in agreement.

Zhao Junchen didn't say much, but after one last glance in the direction of the capital, he walked towards the interior of the ship.

There, he had already made an appointment with Zuo Lanshan, Li Lide and others to talk about some things.
