Chapter 27 Zhongzhou

That night, Pei Yao actually intended to stay Fang Xuan.

However, the eldest prince came on the boat with gifts to apologize. Pei Yao fought with him for a while and then sent Fang Yoon away.

After returning to his room, Fang Yoon learned from the maid that Fang Pei was being confined.

"It won't work so soon." Fang Xuan sneered, "That's just right, I'll take a few days off, and I'll talk about it when I'm in Zhongzhou."

"She deserves it, she's committed suicide!"

Qingrong spat, then sighed.

"It's a pity that the white jade fan was broken in vain."

"There will always be something else, and the days are still long."

Fang Yoon smiled, not caring much.

The master and servant talked for a while, and it was almost time for dinner.

After eating a little bit, Fang Yoon washed up early and lay down.

There is no wind tonight, and there is no coolness when the windows are open. The boat is not as convenient as the land. There is no ice storage, so cooling is all about fans.

I don’t know if it’s about to rain, but the air is heavy and stuffy.

Fang Xuan tossed and turned, and the hot guy didn't want anyone to stay, so he finally sat up.

"Does Liangdi feel hot?" Qingrong walked in with the lamp, "I remember before leaving, Concubine Yang gave Liangdi a jade pillow, saying that it was hot in the south. The jade pillow sleeping reduces fire and relieves heat, so why don't I take it?

bring it on?"

“Okay.”

Fang Yoon nodded.

Qingrong took the pillow over and changed it. When she lay down, she felt a little cooler and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, it was indeed a heavy rain.

But the weather is much cooler after the rain.

Pei Yao was so busy that he could not see anyone during the next few days of voyage.

It is probably about to reach the boundary of Zhongzhou, and there are many things that need to be arranged in advance.

But during this period, Fang Yoon was still called to serve him once.

By the time we arrived in Zhongzhou, we were already nine days after leaving Kyoto.

The expected time is about the same.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the place. The magistrate of Zhongzhou brought people to greet him and arranged them to live in a mansion.

This is the residence of a prince of the previous dynasty, called Xingwang Mansion.

The mansion is very spacious, not much smaller than the Eastern Palace, so it is enough to live in six people.

The royal palace was divided into two parts, Pei Yao took Fang Yoon and Zhou Shuren to live in the South Courtyard, and the eldest prince and his two concubines lived in the North Courtyard.

The ministers didn't live here, and they had their own post station arranged by the prefect of Zhongzhou.

There was a welcome banquet at night, so Fang Yoon just went back to change his clothes and hurried to the place where the banquet was held.

Compared to the dinner in Tongqian County, the dinner in Zhongzhou City is even more lively.

Local officials attended with their families. After all, I heard that Pei Yao and the eldest prince also brought their female relatives.

It is because of this that Fang Pei, who had been banned for several days, was temporarily lifted.

Either she was imprisoned these days, or the eldest prince had deliberately beaten up, she looked very dignified and calm when attending the dinner this time.

After all, he is a lady who has grown up with a spoiled lady, and Fang Pei is still able to show off her demeanor.

It was not the time to provoke trouble tonight, so Fang Yoon did not provoke her, and silently observed the people in his own position.

She recognized several ministers from Kyoto, civil and military officials. So, the local officials in the lower end should be Qian Jiangbai, the governor of Zhongzhou. The two female relatives next to him, one of them looked about the same age as him, and should be Mrs. Qian.

There was also a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, who should be his daughter.

Apart from this magistrate, Fang Yoon didn't know about other local ministers.

After a quick glance, he withdrew his gaze.

The local officials in Daqi, except those with titles, were not high.

For example, although this position as a prefect, although it is in charge of the affairs of a state, it is actually only a fourth rank and does not independently control the military power. Half of the military power of Zhongzhou Guard is in the hands of the commander.

This is to prevent local officials from gaining troops and respecting themselves.

What Fang Yoong sees in books such as political history, now he often thinks about it himself.

It is true that she wants to be a concubine, but in the future, Pei Yao makes progress little by little and goes to a higher position. She can't really keep holding on to her favor with her skin and cleverness.

Fang Yun didn't believe that a woman was useless in studying.

If it is useless, why do men have to study? Why do ladies from a family teach poetry and books when they raise excellent daughters?

Anyway, Fang Yoon felt that she wanted to study.

In her mind, she couldn't even answer a word of what Pei Yao told her about books or government affairs in the future.

Although a woman is not allowed to interfere in politics, she wants to go to a higher place and will always be affected in the future.

But the premise is that Pei Yao walked up first before she could climb Pei Yao up together.

This era is harsh on women. Her fate is now tied to Pei Yao. She has no other support except Pei Yao, so she doesn't think it's bad to do dodder first.

Who knows that dodders cannot slowly turn into strong vines and into big trees with lush branches and leaves?

Looking at the lively scene of drinking and chatting in front of him, Fang Xuan's eyes flashed dimly.

The dinner ended very smoothly.

Pei Yao couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the local officials. He drank a lot of wine and looked a little drunk.

When Hong Zheng helped him walk back, Zhou Shuren's eyes kept sticking to him.

At this time, Fang Xuan was already very sleepy and swayed all the way over by boat. He rushed to the banquet without much breathing. Not to mention his body, he was tired.

So after watching Pei Yao leave, she greeted Zhou Shuren and returned to her residence.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shuren was really energetic.

He actually went to the kitchen to cook the sober soup for the stomach-protecting soup for a night, and sent it to Pei Yao.

Of course, these were what Fang Yoong heard from Qingrong after she woke up the next day.

"It's not easy to compete for favor. Yesterday I was so tired that I fell asleep in bed. She was not much better than me." Fang Xuan sighed.

Qingrong nodded in agreement while combing her hair.

"No, I think it's because she has not been summoned by Your Highness since she left the mansion, so she is also anxious."

Thinking about it, it's true. If Fang Yun was in this situation, he would find a way to make a profit.

And Zhou Shuren's thoughts were not in vain.

Finally got the summons that night.

Fang Yoon didn't feel anything about this.

Pei Yao is now the crown prince and the emperor in the future. The royal family is scattered with rules, and the front dynasty and harem are connected in a thousand ways. For thousands of years, no emperor has only one woman around him.

She was very open-minded and just got what she needed, there was no need to devote her feelings or be jealous.

However, Zhou Shuren obviously has different ideas from her.

After sleeping for such a time, the smile on my face could not be stopped.

I smiled like a flower, but I was in the mood to go outside to enjoy the flowers. The next day, after coming out of Pei Yao's yard, I took a detour to the small garden.

By chance, Fang Yoon also came out to visit because he felt bored and bored in the house.

Just like that, the two collided in the small garden.
