Concubine You stood up, walked slowly for two steps, stopped again, looked at the prince and said: "Your Majesty, remember what I said, remember the heavy responsibility you shoulder!"

Prince Liu Shen hurriedly bowed and said yes, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

You Lihua was very satisfied and walked out dragging her floor-length skirt.

Prince Liu Shen saw her off from behind and sent Concubine You a mile away from the gate of the East Palace before giving up.

He stood there and looked at his mother and concubine walking away. He clenched his fists and said silently in his heart: "Concubine, please rest assured that I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

…

The next day.

Jiangzhou Pier.

"The weather is getting colder and colder!"

Liu Wencai tightened her cloak, shrank her neck, and rubbed her hands together to keep warm.

"It's already October, and the weather has turned cold, which is quite normal. Brother Liu, why don't you wear two more clothes?"

Zhu Xiuyuan is not afraid of the cold, because he has a caring little maid Qiu Wen, who knows both cold and heat, and takes good care of him.

Zhu Xiuyuan trusted Qiu Wen very much. He never had to worry about what clothes to wear every day, he could just let Qiu Wen "play it".

Even if his clothes were too bulky, he didn't care. He was not afraid of people laughing, and completely "outsourced" the matter to Qiu Wen.

Liu Wencai, on the other hand, belongs to the type of person who is obsessed with saving face and suffering.

I feel like I am being laughed at because I wear too many clothes, which makes me lose my grace and goes against elegance.

Sure enough, after Zhu Xiuyuan said this, Liu Wencai stood up straight in an instant, pretending not to be cold at all, and looking calm.

In fact, his teeth were chattering from the cold, but he hid it very well.

"Haha, Brother Zhu, I'm in good health and I'm not afraid of the cold, haha..."

Liu Wencai burst out laughing, which attracted the admiration of all the Yamen officials behind him.

He said that the young prince was young and in good health, and he was not afraid of the cold, unlike old men like them who couldn't do it without wearing more clothes.

When Liu Wencai heard this, she became even more proud, as if she was really not cold anymore...

Zhu Xiuyuan sighed and ignored him.

Instead, he calmly waited for the arrival of His Royal Highness's ship.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in Jiangzhou today. Zhu Xiuyuan and the others have been waiting at the dock for a long time just to welcome the Crown Prince.

It's just that it's a bit cold today.

...After waiting for about half an hour, His Royal Highness’s ship finally arrived.

The prince Liu Shen was gentle, courteous and courteous, and was much better than Li Jiye, the king of Qian in Liang.

Because the prince Liu Shen treats everyone equally and is very easygoing to Dong Cheng and all the officials in the yamen, because Li Jiye doesn't pay much attention to Dong Cheng...

While Prince Liu Shen, Zhu Xiuyuan and others were reciting the ceremony, everyone saw countless wooden boxes and luggage being carried from the ship.

They were piled up on the pier, forming a small mountain.

Zhu Xiuyuan was secretly speechless, thinking that this prince was really in a great battle.

From the looks of it, he probably hasn’t traveled far, yet he brought so many salutes with him...

While chatting with the prince, Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at him by chance, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

Because he saw that among the mountains of luggage, there was an instrument, a guqin...

That's not all. In addition to this guqin, there are also various kinds of zithers, pipas, shengs, etc.

One after another, there may be hundreds of them!

Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless again, his heart trembling.

I thought to myself that His Highness the Prince might have moved the entire East Palace to Jiangzhou.

There are hundreds of musical instruments alone!

…

It was not easy to settle the prince in the prepared house.

The prince was very hospitable and hosted a banquet for Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai, Dong Cheng and other yamen officials in the house that night...

When the banquet came to an end, Zhu Xiuyuan finally understood why the prince brought so many musical instruments.

Because he is really a "music enthusiast"!

The prince played the piano himself.

After finishing, he asked Zhu Xiuyuan for advice and helped him improve his piano skills...

How could Zhu Xiuyuan know this?

Fortunately, Liu Wencai is here. Liu Wencai knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, etc.

It would be nice to be able to chat with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Xiuyuan was hesitant and hemmed and hawed, which made him feel awkward and uncomfortable all night long.

…

…

Let's talk about the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Pu, who became very interested in Zhu Xiuyuan after meeting with Zhu Xiuyuan that day at Xunyang Tower. He failed to use him for his own purposes and even tried to capture him in the Yan Kingdom.

However, due to the cold wave coming, the Northern Yuan Dynasty changed, and the situation was urgent, Zhao Pu had to return to Yan State first.

The matter of wishing Xiuyuan can only be left to the follow-up.

Zhao Pu spent a whole day, traveling under the stars and at night, chasing the wind and the moon, and finally entered Yanjing, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, at dawn on the second day.

At that time, everyone in the Yan Kingdom's court was worried about the changes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Puxing returned from a long journey at night. Although he was tired of the journey, he immediately became an invisible pillar in the hearts of Emperor Yan and his ministers.

"Your Majesty, you came back just in time. Have you read the letter I sent?"

Above the imperial court of Yan State, under the watchful eyes of all the people, Emperor Yan personally helped up Zhao Pu, who was doing the honors of the emperor and his ministers.

"Father, I have read this letter. I traveled all night under the stars for this very purpose."

"Haha, I just know if the emperor has a good plan in mind?"

Emperor Yan laughed heartily and walked a few steps with joy, his nervousness disappearing in an instant.

"Father, please rest assured. I have a plan in mind to ensure that my country, Yan, will be safe."

Zhao Pu is very confident.

He also said: "My father only needs to allow my son to serve as an envoy to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and my son will be 100% sure that he will persuade the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to not violate the Qiu of the Yan Kingdom, not to rob a grain of grain, and not to disturb the Qiu of the Yan Kingdom."

A common man. And he can also conspire for a major event, which is beneficial to both our country of Yan and the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"Oh, I am very curious whether the emperor's good strategy can be like this."

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and he presented the good strategies one by one in front of the civil and military officials of the court...

When Emperor Yan heard this, he was overjoyed and agreed to Zhao Pu's request to be envoy to Beiyuan.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Pu was ready. Under the courtesy of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he left Yanjing and went straight to the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Two days after Zhao Pu went to the Northern Yuan Dynasty as an envoy, news of the changes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty spread southward.

The Chen court learned of the news immediately.

Jiangzhou.

State government.

It is said that Zhu Xiuyuan worked hard at his desk in Sima's duty room for half a day. He felt tired, his lumbar muscles were weak, and he was yawning all the time.

So I left the official documents, left the check-in room, and ran outside to hang out in the courtyard, take a walk, and relax my mood.

Ever since Zhu Xiuyuan became Sima of Jiangzhou, he rarely performed his duties.

Like a nominal "honorary Sima", he rarely even enters the gate of the state government.

Today, I wish Xiuyuan could stay in Sima's room for half a day, for no other reason than to take refuge.

Who should I avoid, naturally His Highness the Crown Prince?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu Shen, although gentle and elegant, polite and polite, behaves like a gentleman in his words and deeds.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan and he were not on the same page at all.
