"The concubine pays her respects to the concubine de concubine."

De Liang Hall is one of the four concubines - Concubine De's sleeping hall, and it is also the place where Yuanyuan lived for six years.

Because Gu Jinian didn't leave any heirs, the women in the harem didn't fight very hard. In the past six years, Yuanyuan has managed the people in the harem so obediently. The humiliation behind the scenes or in the open was executed by Yuanyuan with the crime of "offending above".

This is also revenge for the proprietress who raised her for many years and her beloved man.

She clutched the bag on her chest, which contained Mr. Ouyang's ashes, which Hu Shi had found for her four years ago. Ouyang's family found out that the prime minister had paid taxes illegally, and was forced by the prime minister. His family was ruined, and Mr. Ouyang contracted a disease due to fatigue. Finally, he died of illness at home.

The Feng family had no support in the previous dynasty, so the life and death of those women became understandable. In addition, Hu Shi had a good relationship with Concubine De, and now she has become her backer. The civil servants never recognized Yuanyuan's identity. She kept her at a respectful distance, and Yuanyuan's position as the master of the harem became even stronger.

She has always believed that Shishi will come back with Gu Jinian, and she also learned about the situation from Hu Shi. For six years, she has been cleaning up any suspicious people in the harem, even small eunuchs and maids. Threats, or disrespectful words to him, she will try her best to erase them. Quartz is her only existence in this world besides Xiaoqing, who can be said to be a relative, and she does not allow him to be hurt.

Six years have passed, and six years have passed, and this day has finally come to her.

They are coming back.

"Sisters, get up." Concubine De was sitting right in front of the palace, Xiaoqing was standing beside her, and the dozen or so women kneeling in front of her were all beautiful women, uncanonized, but considered the emperor's women, they were as usual Greetings to Concubine De in the early morning, the plain women in their usual clothes also dressed up well today.

"Your Majesty is about to return in triumph. It seems that the sisters have put a lot of thought into it." Yuanyuan said a little funny, because she knew that these women's efforts were wasted, although she didn't believe that Gu Jinian would throw With so many stunning looks, I only love Shishi, but ever since I heard that the prime minister had not fallen, his youngest daughter came into the palace. She was originally the best candidate for the queen, but was executed by Gu Jinian for disturbing Shishi's rest. In the news sent by the emperor every month for the past six years, after writing about Shishi, Yuanyuan realized that the emperor really only loved Shishi.

She hoped from the bottom of her heart that Quartz could forgive him and accept him. He was very lucky, not like herself.

Thinking of this, she quietly covered the bag of ashes again.

"Your Majesty is the one. Doesn't Your Majesty love you the most? You don't even dress up to welcome him."

A beautiful girl said with a smile, pulling Yuanyuan back to reality from the yearning that could not be answered.

"Your Majesty only loves one person, but that person is not my palace. You know it well. You must be careful in your actions in the future, and don't do things you shouldn't do, and don't offend people you shouldn't offend."

The women of the Feng family were either demoted as maids of honor, or died under Yuanyuan's hands, so the women in the palace are all that Yuanyuan can rest easy on a daily basis, and most of them are for making the family stronger They were forced into the harem, and they were all poor girls who could not help themselves. They were destined to live in this endless palace in the next life. Yuanyuan felt pity for them, so she never harshly treated these harmless girls. woman.

However, the fact that they were harmless for six years did not mean that they were still harmless after Quartz came back.

"What the empress said is true, the concubine understands."

Yuanyuan smiled and nodded after listening.

"Your Majesty...but that Quartz is a man...Your Majesty fights all year round, and there are only men in the camp. It is very possible to have a short-term recreation. If Your Majesty does not love Your Majesty, how can you give Your Majesty such status? That Quartz he....."

A girl who just entered the palace didn't really understand the relationship between Concubine De and Concubine Shi, she just had a vague feeling that as long as she got close to Concubine De, she would be able to climb onto the dragon bed, and if Concubine De was really a threat, she could join hands with Concubine De to get rid of it. Lose.

But when she saw the frightening gaze of Concubine De for this plan, which she had been thinking about day and night, she panicked for a moment.

At noon, the tomb of Marshal's wife.

Six years had honed Marshal Hu's facial features to become more mature and vicissitudes, Xiaoqing still followed Yuanyuan, and they came to this place where they often agreed to meet, this place where Hu Shi would come every day, rain or shine.

"Your Majesty is coming back, isn't the marshal ready?"

"The house will take care of it."

Hu Shi still cherishes words like gold, and Yuanyuan is also used to it. Looking at her tomb, she recalled Xi'er's back that day. That brave and fearless woman protected them and Yanzhu country.

"Six years."

Hu Shi spoke suddenly, Yuanyuan was startled.

"Six years, you have been gone for six years."

She looked at him, but found that he was just talking to the tombstone.

She didn't know how to comfort him. After getting along with him for six years, she knew in her heart that Hu Shi was an infatuated man, and his admiration for Xi'er not only did not become dull with the passage of time, but became stronger and stronger. He thought, if it wasn't for this country on his shoulders, he might go to that world to accompany his wife.

"Marshal, you still have Xiaodie to take care of."

Yes, Butterfly.

As long as you keep telling him that he still has a daughter, then he will no longer have the thought of suicide.

Xi'er died, Chiyo died, Shi Lan died, and the proprietress also died.

Over the years, too many people have left, but the dead are gone, and the living must live with the wishes of the dead.

Hu Shi didn't speak to him, only the early spring breeze echoed in the cabin in the forest.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuanyuan felt tired, and Hu Shi sighed softly.

"Let's go, maybe I haven't seen Master Shishi for a long time."

The feast to welcome the triumphant return of the emperor is no less than that of his enthronement ceremony that year.

The biggest enemy of the Yanzhu Kingdom, the Lingqiu Kingdom, was destroyed, and Gu Jinian returned safely. From then on, the Yanzhu family dominated the mainland and the whole country celebrated. place of residence, and they have lived there ever since.

I feel the pain of subjugation in my heart, but I can't resent the emperor of Yanzhu country at all.

This is the state of mind of those people.

The Taoist master of the Tang family was ordered to start the journey again after half a month to clean up the corpses of those Gu insects so as not to spread the virus. After everything is over, Gu Jinian will rebuild the streets and city-states of Lingqiu Kingdom, so that people who want to go back People from the Lingqiu family and Yanzhu people who want to move live there.

This decision made all civil and military officials overjoyed. It sounded like a great and benevolent move, but it actually annexed the former site of Lingqiu Kingdom. This time the battle expanded the territory by 320 million square kilometers and accommodated more than 900 million people.

On the long stairs of the Golden Luan Hall, the historian is exhausting his lifelong literary skills and thinking of all the words that can praise Gu Ji Nian, to record such a great king in the annals of history.

"My lord—welcome your Majesty's triumphant return!"

Only Tang Xuan and Gu Jinian knew the truth of the matter. It was impossible for him to survive. The reason why he survived was because of punishment.

punish him alive.

He is an undead monster, so he accomplished what the emperors of all dynasties could not do—annexed an enemy country with comparable strength in less than ten years.

is he greatNo one can answer.

Looking at the kneeling officials, Gu Jinian still had no smile on his face. He just wanted to finish these cumbersome etiquettes quickly so that he could accompany Quartz who had returned to the Palace of White Nights early.

Chiyo left him a piece of medicine paper before the war. She said that the Hundred Poison Gu in Quartz's body should start to work. Because Gu Jinian's body was corroded before, the Hundred Poison Gu was also damaged. It needs to recover by itself It took a few years for it to recover well, and as long as it took the medicine she prepared on time, Quartz would definitely get better.

If so it's best.

But being blind also has its benefits.

In this way, there is no way for him to leave him.

Chiyo, who could take him away, is dead, and Shi Lan, who can make him think about it day and night, is also dead. Now his best friend in the harem is only Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan is his concubine in name, so it is impossible to take him away. It is even more impossible for Hu Shi, who is on the court battlefield, to escape with him.

Sitting on the throne, the corner of the emperor's mouth finally brought out a smile.

From now on, you have only me, Quartz.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Chengshu Kingdom have presented tribute and expressed their willingness to become a vassal state of the Yanzhu Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Qi Yan Kingdom has presented a tribute and expressed his willingness to become a vassal state of Yanzhu Kingdom."

"His Majesty....."

The guards who came to report held the tribute in their hands and smiled all over their faces, but to Gu Jinian, they were all small and insignificant countries coming to curry favor, and he didn't even bother to nod politely.

After about a dozen small countries presented their treasures, messengers entered the hall.

At the same time, Hu Shi stepped into the palace wearing court clothes, seeing the familiar figure with facial features, Gu Jinian's eyes lit up, and his beautifully curved eyebrows raised an arc.

"The Marshal is late."

All the ministers paid homage to the Marshal, who was followed by Tang Xuan, who went out with Gu Jinian.

"The last general kowtowed to His Majesty. The minister came late because he bumped into Tang Xuan at the door. I hope His Majesty will not blame you."

Gu Jinian smiled slightly.

He could see that his marshal hadn't come out of the shadow of his dead wife, and Tang Xuan was the same.

However, there is still a long way to go, and he is willing to walk down the road with his brothers.

During the six years when Gu Jinian was away, it was not that Hu Shi did nothing.

The emperor resumed the scientific examination system before the expedition, and appointed Hu Shi as the "physical trainer" of the new civil servant.

The reason is that he feels that civil servants are very important. They must be in good health, so they should exercise regularly.

It's a cute reason, but no one dares to refute it.

Hu Shi didn't understand at first, but then he understood.

These fresh champions are all people with a clean foundation, and they don't have the family background of a court official behind them. Most of them were born in ordinary families, and they are the best candidates to become the 'Gu Jinian force'.

He knew in his heart that the current Yanzhu country needed a major change of blood.

The current civil and military officials are nothing more than treating Gu Jinian as a young combat weapon to help the old, weak and sick who can no longer go to the battlefield to fulfill their ambition of unifying the world.

Now that Gu Jinian is the ruler of the entire continent, the unscrupulous 'fighting in the nest' will begin.

If they are not cleaned up, Gu Ji Nian will be restricted every step he takes in the future.

Kings don't like to be restricted.

But those old officials who are not dead are experienced officials who have always been loyal to Yanzhu country and have achieved fame. It is impossible for Gu Jinian to really "eliminate" them. He can only wait for the passage of time and let them "retire and return Township', so what to do now is to slowly replace his courtiers.

Slowly, the kind that cannot be discovered.

For these old people, Gu Jinian also respects them. After all, in modern times, people of this age have retired a long time ago, and for the prosperity of Yanzhu country, they get up early and work late every day.

"So, they need to rest."

While flipping through the memorial, Gu Jinian chatted with Hu Shi.

The new champions of the scientific examination and the fresh blood of Yan Zhuguo expressed that they were always ready to serve Gu Jinian, and the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De, please see me."

The eunuch outside the door lowered his head and ran all the way to Gu Jinian's study.

"That's right."

It has been two days since the Triumph Ceremony, and Gu Jinian is busy with various government affairs, so he can only go back to the White Night Palace in the middle of the night every day to see the sleeping quartz.

This feeling that he can only peek every day makes him seem to have returned to those years when he was on the expedition.

"The concubine sees His Majesty, sees Marshal Hu."

"It's just the four of us, you're welcome." Gu Jinian kept flipping through the memorial, without looking up at Yuanyuan.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you in six years, is that how you are?"

The woman's angry tone aroused Gu Jinian's interest.

He looked up.

Yuanyuan was dressed gorgeously, and her demeanor was as if she came from a famous family.

"Yeah, I almost forgot about you, hahaha~"

"...It was in vain for me to take good care of the harem for six years."

"That's right, I also helped you find your husband."

Gu Jinian promised that after her death, Ouyang's surname would be named after her.

"The marshal found it for me!"

"Without my order, he will find it for you?"

All right, all right, I really can't beat him.

Hu Shi and Xiao Qing sniggered at the side.

In fact, after Gu Jinian came back, Hu Shi told him about the current situation in the harem, and all the Yuanyuan who were unfavorable to Shishi were eliminated, including the women of the Feng family and a young lady from Jincheng who just entered the palace not long ago with evil intentions.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Recently, you have to stay with Shishi all the time. I'm busy."

"That's natural. I haven't seen him for a long time, but I miss him so much."

The day before yesterday when I heard that Quartz had arrived at the Palace of White Nights, Yuanyuan immediately rushed into the emperor's bedroom with delicious food. She saw the boy sitting on the recliner with a confused expression on his face. immature.

She could no longer hold back the bursting tears and hugged him, and the boy recognized her after a few seconds of stunned.

"Don't worry, with me here, Quartz must be safe, unless I die."

"You are the master of the harem, who dares to touch you."

After Gu Jinian and her looked at each other for a second, they laughed at each other.

In the afternoon, Princess Nianxi Hu Die was also picked up by servants. Gu Jinian was stunned for a long time when he saw that this ten-year-old girl looked like Xi'er.

He finally put down the government affairs in his hands and hugged his adopted daughter.

At that moment, the debt to Xi'er poured out like a tide, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a child too.

Gu Qiyuan, who only showed up at the grand ceremony the day before yesterday, left and has not come to see him so far.

In this way, he should be 15 years old this year.

Well, so be it.

he thinks.

"Godfather godfather!" Xiaodie jumped happily hugging Gu Jinian's neck.

In this world, he still has friends, relatives, and lovers. There is nothing better than this.
