The civil and military officials of Zhangye City were already waiting outside the city gate, and as soon as they saw their lord, Su Wang Zhu Ao, they immediately knelt down and said: "The ministers welcome His Royal Highness and the princess back to the domain, Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

Zhu Ao got off the horse, still very politely stretched out his hand to help the officials, and said: "Your Excellency, please get up quickly, in the days when this king is away, the affairs of the Su Domain have been hard for you. ”

Zuo Changshi Wei Yansheng stood up and arched his hand, and said: "Your Highness is polite, we are Your Highness's courtiers, and it is within our duty to serve Your Highness, not to mention hard work." ”

Zhu Ao said with a smile: "Patience is the first priority for politics, Wei Changshi leads by example and works tirelessly, he is really a model for civil officials." In fact, Zhu Ao didn't hate Wei Yansheng very much, because he knew that Wei Yansheng didn't mean to go against him, but he was in his position, and he had to consider not only the vassal king, but also the thoughts of the imperial court, which was purely a matter of position. Whether ancient or modern, it's long live understanding.

What Zhu Ao didn't expect was that his own unintentional words attracted Wei Yansheng's praise. Wei Yansheng gave a thumbs up as if he had picked up a treasure, and said in surprise: "Wonderful! Wonderful! A good sentence for politics and patience as the first priority, His Royal Highness summed it up really incisively. The minister must have made this sentence into a plaque and hung it in the Changshi Division to warn officials. ”

Well, Zhu Ao is not only dumbfounded, he had no intention of plagiarizing other people's research results, it was really an unintentional move, an unintentional move.

Zhu Ao smiled awkwardly and said, "Wei Changshi is in love, let's go into the city." After that, he took his family and entered Zhangye City with the support of the civil and military generals of the Su Domain.

Zhu Ao, like last time, first inspected Zhangye's city defense, he is now the prince, and he naturally attaches great importance to security issues.

Zhangye's city wall has been expanded, completely in accordance with the specifications of Zhu Ao's previous design, the city wall has been heightened and widened, the hollow enemy platform on the horse face has also been built, and a large number of firearms have also been placed in the enemy platform and other positions of the city wall.

Zhu Ao was very satisfied with the construction of the city wall, nodded uncontrollably while watching, and praised Qu Neng and others who were in charge of repairing the city.

Zhu Ao had just come back, and the officials naturally wanted to put on a dust-washing banquet, and when the entertainment was over, it was already dark.

Zhu Ao returned to his dormitory, where Sun Yunqi and Dai Yuzhu were waiting for him, and after seeing Zhu Ao, he hurriedly greeted him, took off his heavy court clothes, and put on a light shirt for him. Zhu Ao only feels relaxed, whether it is an ancient or a modern person, he likes to dress casually at home.

Zhu Ao went to the Luohan bed and said to Tingwei: "Go and call Lan Youcheng." Tingwei put her hands on her abdomen, knelt down and said, "Yes, the slave obeys." Then he bent down and withdrew.

After a short time, Lan Youcheng came to Zhu Ao's dormitory under the leadership of Tingwei, and she naturally knew who was waiting for her here. As soon as he entered the door, Lan Youcheng took two quick steps and came to Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi, then slowly knelt down, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Slave Lan Youcheng knocks to see the prince and princess." The prince is a thousand years old, and the princess is Jin'an. ”

Zhu Ao smiled at Sun Yunqi and said, "Concubine Ai, this is the great housekeeper of the Su Clan I told you." ”

Sun Yunqi said to Lan Youcheng: "Raise your head and let Concubine Ben take a look." ”

Lan Youcheng slowly raised his head, sure enough, it was a beautiful embryo, Sun Yunqi smiled: "The sister of the Lan family is really not simple, she is beautiful, and she can settle accounts." I heard the prince say that you have taken care of the accounts of our Su Fan in an orderly manner and helped the prince a lot. This concubine wants to reward you well. ”

Lan Youcheng was overjoyed, a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and said: "The princess praised it falsely, it was all the prince's mercy, and the slave and mother only picked up a life." The slave has nothing else to ask for in this life, but to serve the prince and the princess wholeheartedly, in order to repay the prince's kindness. ”

Zhu Ao liked Lan Youcheng's character of gratitude and retribution, he was very glad that he didn't see the wrong person, and said: "Youcheng, it's different now than before. Now that we have a princess, the princess is the master mother of our domain, and she should be in charge of the finances. ”

Lan Youcheng kowtowed on the ground and said, "The slave can save it." If the princess wants to ask anything, just ask the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will tell the truth and never dare to hide it in the slightest. ”

Sun Yunqi was very happy, it can be seen that the prince is a sensible person, and really regards her as the mistress of this family, a mistress who does not control the financial power, what kind of hostess is it, and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't have to be humble, the accounts after that are still taken care of by you, and the concubine believes in you." Also, you and I are the women of the prince at the same time, and you will be called sisters in the future, and you don't have to call yourself a slave and maid anymore. ”

Although Lan Youcheng keeps calling herself a slave, who wants to really be a slave for the rest of her life? Since the day the prince summoned her, she has rekindled hope in life and wants to be the king's woman wholeheartedly. Later, the prince really blessed her, and she was very happy at that moment, because she was one step closer to her goal.

But the prince never gave her any promises, which made Lan Youcheng feel very disappointed and unsure, although she knew why, but who was willing to be affected by his own family background in this life, and be a slave who could be stepped on by anyone?

Today, I heard that the princess wanted to be commensurate with her sister, which was tantamount to recognizing her status, Lan Youcheng was not stupid, and immediately got off the donkey, kowtowed, and said: "Thank you sister for your grace, Youcheng will respect her sister in this life, and she will die unswervingly, if you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”

Zhu Ao turned his head and looked at his wife, the princess of this king is really an expert in relationships, in just a few days, not only did Lao Zhu, Concubine Guo Ning, and his mother be happier than one another, but even the two concubines he had received before were instantly subdued by her, which was really not simple.

Once upon a time, the Han people were also very tolerant and heroic, but later they lost their temper when they were bullied by foreign races, coupled with the emergence of perverted ideas like Cheng Zhu Lixue, which made Han men less and less confident. The manifestation of a man's lack of self-confidence is that he suspects his wife as a whole that he is unfaithful, or he is afraid that his wife is more capable than him, and then dumps him.

Zhu Ao doesn't have this kind of pedantic thinking, no matter how powerful Sun Yunqi is, she is also her own woman, and all this she does is for her own good. Zhu Ao is very sure in his heart, whether it is Sun Yunqi or Dai Yuzhu or Lan Youcheng, he is the only one in their hearts, and they will not change their minds. The better they are, the more face he has and the better he will mix.
