Chapter 59 Distrust

As the sun sets, the palace is still busy.

Xue Baoyun was walking in the corridor, looking somewhat aching because he had heavy bleeding today.

At the end of the banquet, she gave generous gifts to every official wife and brought the best silk and satin from the palace.

Even Xue Baoyun was jealous of these things. That woman didn't want to wear beautiful clothes, but she gave away a lot of these fine silks and satins today.

Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, Xue Baoyun was not a stingy person after all, and she calmed down after a while.

When they came outside the palace, even if Xue Baoyun was the princess, she still had to meet Zhao Yanxun.

"Your Majesty, the prince is waiting for you inside!" Lin Quan said flatteringly.

After waving away the maids who followed him, Xue Baoyun stepped into the hall.

The hall was brightly lit with candles. Xue Baoyun did not see Zhao Yanxun in the main hall, but heard Huang Rongrong's voice.

"Your Majesty, the princess sent out a lot of silk and satin today, which makes people feel very sad!"

Hearing this, Xue Baojun's face darkened, and he felt even less fond of Huang Rongrong.

Then she appeared outside the side hall and saw Zhao Yanxun sitting at the top and Huang Rongrong beside her.

Lin Jingyu, who was sitting on the chair on the left, felt a little embarrassed when she saw Xue Baoyun coming over, and complained in her heart that Huang Rongrong was speaking openly.

"The princess is here, come and sit down quickly!" Zhao Yanxun pointed to the chair next to him.

Huang Rongrong was a little afraid of Xue Baoyun, so she immediately stood up and returned to her seat.

"Princess, Concubine Rong feels very sorry for those silks and satins that were given away. You must be particularly reluctant to part with them too!" Zhao Yanxun said with a slight smile.

I got some good news today, so Zhao Yanxun was in a good mood, so he joked with Xue Baoyun.

"The prince is joking, how could I be so stingy!" When he said this, Xue Baojun looked at Huang Rongrong.

The latter just pretended to be an ostrich at this time, and Zhao Yanxun laughed twice, relieving Huang Rongrong's embarrassment.

"These women, are you satisfied with today's reception?" Zhao Yanxun started talking about business.

Xue Baoyun stopped being petty at this moment, sat down next to Zhao Yanxun and said: "It's not bad. I have told them that we will get together next time if we have an opportunity!"

"What did they say?"

"Staying in the house is boring, so of course they are willing to come out and hang out!"

Zhao Yanxun nodded: "Okay, this is a good start. If you go around more with them in the future, you will become more familiar with them!"

"Your Majesty, are the joint officials... really just to fight against the so-called apocalypse?" Xue Baoyun looked solemn.

Hearing this question, Lin Jingyu also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear the real answer.

Zhao Yanxun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What if it's not the case? Do I go through all this trouble just to go to the capital and become the emperor?"

Knowing Xue Baoyun's thoughts, Zhao Yanxun simply said it.

"Don't think I'm joking with you. The cruelty of the apocalypse is beyond your imagination. That's why I will do my best to unite with the Longyou government and concentrate my strength to fight against the apocalypse!"

"Of those monsters, the palace has locked up one of them now. If you don't believe it... I can take you to see it now!"

This sentence directly brought back some bad memories of Lin Jingyu. She still vividly remembers the scene when Wang Changxin mutated.

"Your Majesty, since the last days are so cruel, why don't you tell the Longyou government directly?" Huang Rongrong asked.

"Even you don't believe it. The people in the government are wary of us, so they won't believe it anymore!" Zhao Yanxun said helplessly.

Unexpectedly, Huang Rongrong stood up directly and said: "Your Majesty, if they don't believe it... just put the locked monster directly in front of them, so they won't believe it?"

In fact, Zhao Yanxun actually had such an idea, but he gave it up after thinking about it again and again.

The key to the problem lies in other people's opinions of him.

If he does not eliminate his prejudices and wariness, even if he places zombies in front of Tian Jingtong, the other party will only think that he is using underhanded tactics to force others to act according to his wishes.

"Wait a little longer!"

Now that you are improving your relationship with the Longyou government, when the time comes, Zhao Yanxun will place the zombies in front of Tian Jing and others.

Although the end of the world has come, order has not been lost. Prince Zhao Yanxun's identity is both an advantage and a shackle.

Etiquette system is a word in modern people's mouth, but in this era it is an iron law.

Zhao Yanxun also wanted to spread his arms and fuck him, but he just thought about it.

…………

Let’s talk about Chengfu. When Mrs. Liu rushed home in a carriage, dinner had been prepared in the mansion and Cheng Wenguang was waiting for his wife in the small hall.

As a feudal official, governor Tian Jingtong's family members all live in the capital.

So among the female relatives who went to the palace today, the one with the highest status was Mrs. Liu, and of course Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Ancha's envoy.

After entering the room, she saw her husband waiting for her. Mrs. Liu took off her cloak and went to meet him.

"master!"

"Sit down, I went to the palace today...what did you see and hear?" Cheng Wenguang said slowly.

This is not his gossip, but what Tian Jingtong wanted to ask when he said hello. Of course, Cheng Wen Guangjue also needs to know.

"The palace is very majestic. I have learned a lot today!"

After sitting down, Mrs. Liu recounted her experiences during the day, from the visit to the palace to meet Xue Baoyun, to the reception of silk and satin from the prince's palace.

"Sir, those silks and satins...but it's hard to buy good things even if you have money. They are all tributes sent to the palace!" Mrs. Liu was full of praise.

Cheng Wenguang had no expression on his face and then asked: "Didn't you see King Yong during the whole process?"

“I haven’t seen His Highness King Yong!”

"What the princess said, please tell me again in detail!" Cheng Wenguang said slowly.

Although she didn't understand her husband's thoughts, Ms. Liu recounted it again.

After listening, Cheng Wenguangcai said: "There is something in what the princess said!"

"From what I can tell, the princess just wants to say that she and the prince just want to live a stable life!"

Mrs. Liu expressed her thoughts, and Cheng Wenguang immediately asked: "Do you think what she said is credible?"

"He is a prince who is a vassal. Living a stable life is the right way. I feel that the princess is expressing her true feelings!"

Although the Liu family comes from a womanly family, she has followed Cheng Wenguang for many years and has sharpened her horizons under the influence of her ears and eyes.

"Master, do you think the princess is not telling the truth?" Ms. Liu asked.

After shaking his head, Cheng Wenguang said: "Let's see for now. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? What if King Yong is trying to confuse us?"

As long as King Yong does not cause trouble and remains a wealthy prince, the civil service group is willing to accept him.

The key now is that the civil servants are not very confident about him. To be precise, they are not confident about the concubine Duan in the harem.

"Sir, the princess also said that... she will invite us to the palace for a banquet in the future, why don't we go?" Mrs. Liu expressed her doubts.

"It doesn't matter, you can go if you need to, but pay more attention to the situation in the palace!" Cheng Wenguang said calmly.

Through this informal banquet, Cheng Wenguang felt that this was a good thing to increase his understanding of Prince Yong's Mansion.

I hope this King Yong is really willing to be an idle prince and not have any undue ambitions for the throne... Cheng Wenguang thought to himself.
