After a month of tossing and turning, I finally arrived at Zhuoran's territory. He was a relative of the emperor on the queen's side, and after the death of his parents, he was made a marquis and had his own fief, and his fief was far away from the imperial capital, almost the place where the two countries met.

However, it does not seem to be a desolate place, on the contrary, trade between the two countries is well developed here.

He Anyue stuck her head outside and looked at the lively scene here in surprise.

The streets are all red and bright, some sell couplets, red hanging lamps, and everyone is smiling.

"Oh, count the days, it's almost the New Year." Zhuo Ran leaned on He Anyue's body and looked at the scene outside.

"It was very desolate, it was not suitable for farming, and people had a hard time, but what could I do, my relatives were weakened, and I was helpless at that time." Zhuo Ran smiled helplessly.

He Anyue looked at him in surprise, "But now it's very lively here... You're amazing. He took Zhuo Ran's hand and put it on his face, "Xianggong, you are so powerful." ”

Zhuo Ran looked at him with a smile, "Really? ”

After managing this place by yourself for so many years, no one will say how well you manage it, how much change you have made here, and some are just sarcastic. Or, when the slightest mistake occurs, there is a flurry of scolding.

He Anyue nodded vigorously and looked at him with a smile, "Then are we almost there?" ”

Zhuo Ran nodded and touched his face, "It's coming soon, you have to meet someone else soon." ”

He Anyue didn't understand, "Someone else? ”

Zhuo Ran was trying to explain.

The carriage gradually ceased to move. "Master Hou, we're here."

Zhuo Ran looked at He Anyue with a smile and kissed his lips, "I'm home." ”

He got out of the car first, picked up He Anyue and put it on the ground, and then immediately put a thick mink coat on him.

"Lady, let's go." Zhuo Ran stretched out his hand, put it in front of He Anyue, and looked at He Anyue with a smile, He Anyue took his hand without hesitation and followed his steps into the house.

Pushing open the door, there were neat housekeepers, guards, and guards on both sides. "Master Hou, madam."

Zhuo Ran pulled He Anyue, "You still have to meet others in a while." ”

"What?" He Anyue could only show her face and look at Zhuo Ran stupidly.

Zhuo Ran was amused by his expression. "It's nothing, someone will come and salute you, just remember their names."

Zhuo Ran didn't know how to describe those women, concubines? No, he didn't give the women names, but they didn't want to go, and he didn't force them to leave.

Zhuo Ran looked at He Anyue, would he mind it? has three wives and four concubines, but he can only be a man's "wife"?

He Anyue nodded obediently. Didn't speak.

After entering the house, He Anyue asked to go to the bathroom, these days, most of their baths are to go to the nearby inn every few days to wash, and then they left quickly, making He Anyue, who has loved cleanliness since childhood, very uncomfortable.

Zhuo Ran waved his hand, he had something to deal with as soon as he returned home, so he could only let his subordinates take him to take a bath first, and then go again after a while.

He Anyue called the people back, and then began to take off his clothes, layer after layer, he slowly approached the bath, lay inside, and exhaled a long breath.

There are still some petals on the side, He Anyue naturally picked up some and sprinkled them inside, this bath is very large, you can swim in it, and the pool wall is a large piece of jasper.

He Anyue slowly relaxed her body and closed her eyes. How's Jun'an? Why didn't Li Xuanyu look for him yet? Is the East okay? And, what happened to my father. There are a lot of problems, but He Anyue doesn't know how to deal with them, he only knows that if Zhuo Ran finds out that he is not Murong Fu, he may blow himself up. He Anyue shuddered.

After a while, He Anyue came out of the bathhouse, got dressed, and wore her hair loose. "Is there anyone?"

"Ma'am." Someone outside responded.

"I'm done."

The man pushed open the door, but his head kept low, and the Hou Ye did not allow his objects to be seen and touched by others. So, the same is true for this lady.

He Anyue picked up the cloth towel she was holding and wrapped her hair, "What's your name?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid is called Akiba."

"Oh." He Anyue nodded, "Xianggong said that someone wants to see me in a while, who is it?" ”

"It's some Hou Ye's concubine." Akiba lowered her head and answered the question.

"Oh, then I'll go back to him first." He Anyue didn't know what a concubine was, and he didn't want to ask this person, he wanted to ask Zhuo Ran in person.

"Master Hou is taking care of business, let the slave and maid send you back to the house."

He Anyue pouted, "Okay." ”

The man picked up a thick coat from the low table next to the room, draped it over He Anyue's body, and put the coat and hat on He Anyue's head.

"Madam, come with me, the sedan chair is outside."

got on the sedan chair, and He Anyue's hand was stuffed into a stove. He was bored and thought about everything. Suddenly, the sedan chair stopped.

"Madame Jiao..."Akiba knelt down and saluted as she looked at the woman dressed in flowers.

"Excuse me." The woman raised her head and saw the appearance of the sedan chair clearly.

"Hou Ye~" The woman's voice immediately became coquettish, and she raised her feet and walked towards the sedan chair.

"Madame Jiao..."Akiba stopped her.

"In the sedan chair is Mrs. Hou, Mrs. is going to rest, and there will be time for a while."

"What?" The woman looked at the sedan chair in surprise, "Didn't Master Hou say that this sedan chair can only be used by him?" He'd rejected me before!"

"The slave doesn't know."

The woman looked at the sedan chair and snorted coldly, "That is, a man, he can't give birth to a child, and when the Hou Ye loses interest, he will be better off dead." The woman threw up her sleeves and left.

She was Zhuo Ran's favorite concubine before, and she had been living in the mansion for two years, and she had long been accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, and there was no one in her eyes.

He Anyue listened to the woman's words and didn't know what to say.

Back in the room, Qiu Ye carefully wiped He Anyue's hair, but he didn't dare to look up at his appearance.

"Akiba, who is that lady?" He Anyue looked at the autumn leaves in the bronze mirror.

"Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Jiao was the favorite concubine of the Hou Ye before." However, in fact, the subordinates hate this person very much, she is just pampered and arrogant, relying on the favor of the Hou Ye, bullying the subordinates, and beating the servants at will.

"Oh." Although I don't know what a concubine is, He Anyue also knows the meaning of the most favored, in Jiuhua Valley, they all say that they are the most favored people in the East, probably one meaning.

"Madame... In an hour you will have to meet these concubines. I need to do your eyebrows first. ”

"Oh."

Qiu Ye raised his head, saw He Anyue's appearance, and took a breath, such a beautiful man, his appearance is very charming and cold, but his eyes are pure, and he perfectly blends charm and purity, no wonder Hou Ye will override public opinion and marry him as his wife.

"What's wrong?" He Anyue looked at the stunned autumn leaves.

"None... It's okay, ma'am, you're so beautiful. ”

"Ahh Thank you. He Anyue narrowed her eyes and looked at the autumn leaves with a smile.

Autumn leaves blushed, trembling hands to wipe He Anyue's rouge, painted makeup, but wiped it off.

Half an hour later, Qiu Ye put down his hand and looked at He Anyue, who was still without makeup, "Madam, let's coil our hair, you are already very beautiful, and you don't need anything else." ”

He Anyue nodded.

Finally, in the end, He Anyue was fiddled with, changed into bright red clothes, and sat obediently in front of the hall.

Qiu Ye looked at He Anyue's eyes, "Madam, you should be ruthless." ”

"Huh?" He Anyue looked at Autumn Leaves blankly, "How ruthless?" ”

Akiba thought about Madame Jiao's expression and put on a look.

He Anyue worked hard to learn her eyes, but she was like a cat deliberately pretending to be fierce, wanting people to pet him.

"Forget it, madam, they'll be here in a moment, no matter what you say, you just need to look at them, you..." Just drink your tea, and they'll probably just bow and leave. ”

Hou Ye specially instructed her that Mrs. is very simple, she must take care of Mrs. , she can't let Mrs. be suppressed by others.

"Yes." He Anyue nodded.

"Ma'am, can we come in?" Coincidentally, the person who started was Mrs. Jiao.

"Yes."
