Chapter 291 A family dinner

The team of the King of Changsha finally arrived in Guangzhou City. The escort of thousands of imperial troops made the journey smooth and comfortable. Because they enjoyed the gift of a prince, the person who greeted his arrival was the prime minister.

The closer they get to Guangzhou City, the more terrified they feel. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, they will stay here for the rest of their lives, so how can they not be terrified?

It wasn't until the prime minister introduced them that they felt more at ease.

The residence arranged for the King of Changsha is close to the imperial city and located in Renxiao City, which is also a good location.

"Now we, the two of us, have truly settled down!"

Looking at this magnificent palace, it must have been the former residence of the Liu family. It has mountains and rivers. After some repairs, some furniture was added. Although it is not as good as the Chu Palace, it is better than the Jiedu Mansion in Langzhou.

It's too much.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Yan breathed out a sigh of relief, took her son's hand and said.

"This is bigger than Langzhou. My kid saw a lot of fun things on the road just now. It's more fun than Changsha, but it's a bit hot!"

It was the hot season of July and August, and there was a little sweat on Zhou Baoquan's forehead. After wiping it off, it flowed out again, making him feel very hot.

"It's okay. We'll get used to it when we settle in!" Yan wiped her silk handkerchief and said with a smile: "This place is better than Langzhou, and you can't be too playful. You have to remember your father's

I advise you to study hard!"

"I know, mother!" Zhou Baoquan clenched his fist and said loudly.

"Sister-in-law, your place is really nice!" The mother and son were talking, and Zhou Xingwu walked in with his wife and said with emotion.

"No matter whether the house is good or bad, it is for people to live in, but having such a place to live has some significance for protecting rights, which is beyond my expectation!"

Mrs. Yan ordered the maids to clean up, and the housekeeper also scolded the servants for placing things. The mansion was untenable for a while, and the group could only go to the garden, sit in the pavilion, and enjoy the shade.

"Being able to retain power and be crowned king is beyond my expectation!"

"Hmph, didn't the Liu family also grant the title of King of Yue? Our Zhou family has a great business and married our princess, so it is appropriate to grant the title of King of Changsha!"

Zhou Xingwu raised his chin and said proudly:

"The emperor even made me an earl. Although it is a reduced title, I still have a hundred years of wealth. Our Zhou family has a prince and an earl, and there are countless great nobles in the entire Panyu City, no, in Guangzhou City!

"

"The entire Guangzhou, the count can only count on one hand!"

"Sister-in-law, Ying'er said for us in the palace, there is no need to worry too much!"

Faced with her brother-in-law's words, Mrs. Yan could only smile. Zhou Xingwu was just a farmer. If Zhou Xingfeng hadn't promoted him, he would be just farming now. He has no insight. He just knows that he owns one-third of an acre of land and has no political acumen.

.

Although Zhou Ying'er is the queen, several concubines in the palace are already pregnant. If they don't give birth, how can they keep it for a long time? Moreover, the queen's instructions may not necessarily lead to a normal succession.

After all, the tradition of "father is kind and son is filial" in the Tang Dynasty is too impressive.

For a moment, Yan's mind wandered and began to think about the future and the change of identity. This feeling of having one's destiny controlled by others was indeed uncomfortable.

"Sister-in-law, my house is next door. If anything happens, just give me a shout!" Zhou Xingwu looked at Yan's absent-minded look and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

"I know, uncle, you should take care of yourself. I heard that the weather in Lingnan is very torturous!"

At night, several people were invited to the palace again and had a family banquet with delicious food. The atmosphere was still very harmonious. After all, the queen was mediating among them and the emperor was very considerate.

Li Jia also met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who looked like farmers and talked funny.

Of course, the emperor's majesty also made this banquet a bit embarrassing, and I couldn't let it go. I just complimented, greeted, etc.

"Madam, how do you feel about being in Guangzhou?" Li Jia asked softly, looking at this young woman, who was only in her thirties, with fair skin, a plump body, and a slender neck. She was a widow, and she was wearing plain clothes.

If you want to be pretty, you should be filial, and it's really not a lie. This beauty, coupled with the blessing of status, is more charming than the immature queen.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace. I am very comfortable in Guangzhou!" The emperor's words were a bit abrupt, but Yan still replied meticulously.

"That's good!" Li Jia nodded and deliberately asked Zhou Xingwu, "The emperor's residence was personally selected by the queen. His filial piety is so touching!"

In this way, no one paid attention, but Yan felt a little weird in her heart. She always felt that it was not that simple, so she could only smile and enjoy the banquet.

"I am very satisfied!" Although he had been clamoring to see the emperor, when he suddenly saw him, Zhou Xingwu felt a little uncomfortable, and his expression and movements were a little stiff.

"That's good, we are all a family, no need to be restrained, this is a family dinner!" Li Jia raised his wine glass and said with a smile.

Everyone dared not be presumptuous, so they raised their glasses and took a sip. Yan could only take a sip reluctantly, her face turned red instantly, and the emperor's eyes were immediately attracted.

"I still have some memorials that I haven't dealt with. You can continue!" After the banquet was over, Li Jia drank a few glasses of wine and left, not to disturb the Queen's reunion with her family.

"Daughter, we haven't seen each other for several months. Your mother and I miss you very much. Seeing that you are doing so well makes us relieved!"

Watching the emperor go away, Zhou Xingwu relaxed a little. Looking at Zhou Ying'er, who was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix cross on her head, he was filled with emotions for a while.

"My daughter also misses Aye and Aniang very much. They are thousands of miles away, and they miss them so much!" Zhou Ying'er's eyes turned red instantly. She was only sixteen years old, but she married to Lingnan, alone, and traveled thousands of miles away.

I can use books to hide my fragile heart and the fear in my heart.

"Ying'er is living such a good life, and she is a queen. The hardships she endures are worth it!" her mother said, tears already streaming down her eyes. She only has one daughter, who is like a sweetheart, so how can she give up?

"Although the queen's position is noble, for this reason, we will conceive a little prince so that we can be stable. We have experience. You are like this..." The mother and daughter bit their ears and whispered softly. After a while, the queen

His face became increasingly red and tender.

After a while, Zhou Ying'er asked her adoptive mother Yan: "How are you doing these days? When my father passed away, my daughter was not around. She was very unfilial. I hope you can forgive me!"

"The late king has already seen your filial piety. Don't worry about it. Because of you, our Zhou family can be complete. This filial piety is the most precious!"
