Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Zhou Chenli took Xu Jingyi's letter to the palace and told the emperor about it. The emperor also felt that something was wrong.

The emperor carefully read Xu Jingyi's letter and said to Zhou Chenli with a worried look on his face, "Every winter, the Great Zhou focuses on protecting the northern border."

"A few days ago, General Liu from the Northern Frontier sent a secret letter saying that the barbarians there were making unusual movements, and Acheng was urgently summoned back. If the Japanese pirates in the south were to make another unusual move at this time, the Great Zhou would be attacked from both sides."

After saying this, the emperor slammed the table in anger and cursed: "What the hell do those Japanese pirates want to do? I really want to send troops to destroy these bastards. It would be best to cut off their roots and make them never see the light of day again."

Zhou Chenli knew that the emperor was speaking in anger. It was not as easy as he said to destroy a country.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We should send someone to the south to find out what those bastards are up to. We'll be prepared for any problems that may arise."

The emperor summoned several important ministers and discussed it carefully. Finally, Zhou Chenli volunteered to go to the south to inspect on behalf of the emperor to see what the Japanese pirates were going to do.

Some time ago, Zhou Jiyuan discussed with Zhou Chenli that they wanted to go out for a walk.

Now Zhou Jiyuan no longer listens to Sun Wukong, but listens to Travel Notes instead.

Listening to Xu Miao telling him about the scenery of various places in the Great Zhou every day, Zhou Jiyuan felt itchy in his heart. He discussed with Zhou Chenli several times that he wanted to go out for a walk, under the pretext of seeing the world.

Zhou Chenli also felt that now was a good time to take his son out for a walk. After his wife gave birth in a while, he would have no time to go out. He would have to stay at home to take care of the baby and his daughter.

Because his wife's pregnancy looked very good, Zhou Chenli was not worried and discussed with his wife about taking their son out.

Madam: Go quickly, go quickly. If you two go out, I can still have a few days of peace and quiet, just in time to take care of the baby at home. We are an old couple, and I don’t need you to stay home with me.

The ministers also felt that it was appropriate for Duke Dingguo to go. If they sent an important official from the court, it might alert the enemy.

Who knows if there are Japanese spies in the capital? If we disturb them, we will be in trouble.

After arranging the inspection and the ministers left the palace, the emperor was in the mood to chat and laugh with Zhou Chenli.

Pointing to Xu Jingyi's letter on the table, he smiled and said to Zhou Chenli, "The Duke's in-laws are very kind. They treat the Duke as their own mother. They sent a letter to ask about your well-being a few days ago, and the report is quite detailed."

"Do you want me to send a letter of commendation to your in-laws to praise his filial behavior?"

Zhou Chenli laughed when he heard the emperor's constant teasing about "in-laws": "Your Majesty, don't be so proud. In a few days, Xu Jingyi will also be your in-law. The Sixth Brother is waiting for you."

Zhou Chenli smiled and took over the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, it's best not to send any commendation letters to Xu Jingyi. I'm afraid that after receiving the commendation letter, Master Xu will write back to you, and one letter every day."

With Xu Jingyi's shamelessness, he might really be able to do it.

"And one more." Zhou Chenli said, looking at the emperor with a wicked smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to envy me. This Lord Xu might even become your in-law."

"My wife told me that Lord Xu's legitimate daughter is fertile and has given birth to four sons. This rumor came from the Huguo Temple, so it's very credible."

"Isn't the Crown Prince's residence in need of a concubine? I think Lord Xu's daughter is just what the royal family wants."

After teasing Zhou Chenli, the emperor was drinking tea with a bowl in his hand. After hearing what Zhou Chenli said, he almost choked to death.

He put down the tea bowl and coughed for a long time before he recovered.

Pointing at Zhou Chenli, she yelled, "What did you say? Give birth to four sons! How dare she say that? Why not eight?"

Zhou Chenli said calmly, "I guess eight was too many, so I didn't dare."

The emperor was amused by the father and daughter: "Master Xu and his daughter are truly talented. I want to see if they can give birth to four sons."

Thanks to his father, Xu Mingzhu was able to successfully overcome the emperor's crisis.

After Zhou Chenli returned home, he found Zhou Jiyuan and told him to get ready as he would be leaving in a few days.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiyuan hugged Zhou Chenli's arm and asked excitedly, "Where are you going, Dad? How long will you be gone? Don't you want my mom anymore?"

"What are you talking about, you little brat? I can't leave your mother. It was your mother who asked me to take you out."

"If your mother doesn't agree, then you have the right to leave."

Zhou Chenli reached out and pinched his son's little face affectionately, his eyes full of love.

During this period, Zhou Jiyuan grew a lot taller because of martial arts training, and his face was tanned into a healthy wheat color. At first glance, he looked like a healthy and sunny boy.

"Dad, I knew you were a paper tiger. If my mother didn't agree, you wouldn't dare take me out."

Zhou Jiyuan's words directly shattered Zhou Chenli's dream of having a beloved son.

He gnashed his teeth and yelled at Zhou Jiyuan, "You bastard, I shouldn't have pitied you. Go back to your yard and clean up."

Zhou Chenli...I must ask my wife to give birth to a fat daughter for me. I have had enough of my son.

When Xu Miao learned that Zhou Jiyuan was going out, he suddenly felt empty.

Ever since entering the Duke's Mansion, she has been hanging around Zhou Jiyuan. Suddenly saying that she wanted to go out made Xu Miao feel at a loss.

While Mrs. Yang and she were busy packing things for Zhou Jiyuan, Mrs. Han was also wielding a kitchen knife in the backyard kitchen to prepare food for the young master to take on the journey.

Xu Miao had to prepare several sets of spare clothes for Zhou Jiyuan, including underwear and outerwear, both thin and thick, and also had to bring spare shoes and socks.

In addition to spare clothes, shoes and socks, Xu Miao also prepared some daily medicines for Zhou Jiyuan, so that he could take them directly if he caught a cold on the road.

Xu Miao hesitated again and again and did not dare to bring her homemade medicinal herbs to Zhou Jiyuan. Since Zhou Jiyuan was going out with his biological father, he should not be in any danger.

After preparing everything, Xu Miao grabbed Zhou Jiyuan's instructions, telling him not to play with water, not to play with fire, not to eat without permission, and to dress properly...

Zhou Jiyuan's mind had long since flown out of the Duke's Mansion, so he had no intention of listening to Xu Miao's instructions. He just hummed and hawed in response to Xu Miao.

"Sister, you nag more than my mother!"

Before leaving, Xu Miao was called to Zhou Chenli's study.

Zhou Chenli looked at Xu Miao standing in the middle of the field and said sternly, "I leave my wife to you. If anything happens to my wife, you won't survive."

Xu Miao hurriedly knelt down and solemnly replied to Zhou Chenli, "Please rest assured, Duke. I would rather die than let Madam come to any harm."

What a joke! If anything happened to the Madam, Xu Miao would have committed suicide without Zhou Chenli having to do anything.

Zhou Chenli continued, "As for the matters in the front yard, Steward Qian and Commander Ye are here. If you have any problems, go find them."

"You and your wife are the only ones left in the backyard. Your wife is pregnant, so you must be careful."

"If you need money, go ask for it from the butler. I've left a few secret guards in the backyard, so safety shouldn't be a problem."

Zhou Chenli only dared to hand over his wife to Xu Miao because he saw that she was a steady person.

Besides, didn't the Madam want to adopt Xu Miao as her goddaughter? This was the perfect time to use her.

If he hadn't thought about not having time to go out with his son in the future, he really didn't want to leave the Duke's Mansion at this time.
