She couldn't wait for the palace maid to put her shoes on.

He put on his shoes himself.

straighten your clothes slightly.

He then led the palace maids to the gate to greet them.

Zhou Jingqiu and her group of palace maids and eunuchs from Qiuxiang Pavilion had just taken their positions when...

Then they saw Zhao Yuan stride in with the powerful stride of a dragon.

"Welcome, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuan stepped forward and helped Zhou Jingqiu up.

He was immediately drawn to Zhou Jingqiu's smooth skin.

He couldn't help but rub his thumb against the back of Zhou Jingqiu's hand twice.

Zhou Jingqiu blushed instantly.

Zhao Yuan pulled Zhou Jingqiu into the house and laughed.

"Judging from her accent, Jingqiu is from Jiangnan?"

Zhou Jingqiu saw Zhao Yuan sit down while still holding her hand.

Feeling both shy and delighted, she said,

“I am from Hangzhou, and I just entered the palace with Zhu Mian in the first month of the lunar calendar.”

The palace maid saw that her mistress was favored,

I am also very happy.

They diligently prepared tea and served it to the guests.

The master's status has risen.

The servants, too, rose in rank and status.

If Your Majesty is in the mood,

Pull them onto the bed too.

Then they became the masters.

Zhao Yuan heard that the person was from Hangzhou.

He couldn't help but think of Fang Baihua, and sighed.

"Hearing the Jiangnan accent reminds me of an old friend,"

"I wonder where she is now."

Zhou Jingqiu saw Zhao Yuan's dejected expression.

He asked cautiously, "Is Your Majesty's old friend a woman?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "She is Fang La's sister, a heroine."

"Before Tong Guan besieged Muzhou, I sent someone to fetch her to go north,"

"Unexpectedly, she refused, and now we don't know if she's alive or dead."

Zhou Jingqiu laughed and said, "When I went north earlier, I heard that Fang La had many heroes and valiant men under his command."

"The Song Dynasty army was routed, so Sister Fang must be safe and sound."

Zhao Yuan has received the letter brought back by Li Jun and Shi Bao.

But he still didn't know how the battle situation in Jiangnan was, and nodded.

"hope so."

Seeing that Zhao Yuan wasn't in high spirits, Zhou Jingqiu smiled and said,

"It's a rare treat for Your Majesty to come all this way,"

"How about I play a tune from Jiangnan for Your Majesty?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't bear to refuse the beauty's request, and smiled,

"Okay."

A palace maid quickly brought over the bamboo flute that Zhou Jingqiu had brought from his hometown.

A light pink dress,

A face so beautiful it could launch a thousand ships.

Her slender, jade-white fingers danced between the pores.

The flute melody was cheerful and refreshing.

Zhao Yuan quickly forgot his previous sorrow.

After the song ended, Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and said,

"The girl is absolutely beautiful,"

"Such talent is truly rare."

Zhou Jingqiu handed the flute to the palace maid.

Auspicious Blessing

“A mere trick, how can it compare to Your Majesty’s martial prowess that shakes the world?”

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You sure know how to talk, girl."

"The purpose of fighting on the battlefield is to enjoy peace."

"Without women as talented and beautiful as you,"

"This peaceful and prosperous era has also lost much of its fun."

Zhou Jingqiu smiled and said, "It is an honor to have Your Majesty appreciate it."

"This humble servant sweeps the bed daily in anticipation of Your Majesty's arrival."

Zhao Yuan heard Zhou Jingqiu say that he would be waiting for him with a cleared bed.

He couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Did you sweep the bed today?"

Zhou Jingqiu saw that Zhao Yuan spoke so bluntly,

A blush immediately appeared on her snow-white neck.

He said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Sweep it."

Zhao Yuan was also captivated by Zhou Jingqiu's shy demeanor.

He immediately pulled Zhou Jingqiu towards the dormitory.

Upon entering the bedroom, two palace maids immediately came forward to help Zhao Yuan undress.

Her movements were also full of coquettish charm.

It seems she intends to seduce the king.

Zhao Yuan relaxed and enjoyed the rare peace.

Because he would soon need to go back to the battlefield.

Although the Great Liang conquered Tokyo,

It acquired the most wealth of the Song Dynasty.

The troops attacking the capital region, eastern Hebei, and Hebei were also advancing with unstoppable momentum.

However, there are still powerful enemies such as Tong Guan, Wang Qing, Tian Hu, the Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom that need to be eliminated one by one.

Only the Great Liang can unify the world.

……

As evening approached,

Zhao Yuan then headed to the Capital Secretariat.

It was almost time for the palace gates to close.

However, the Jinzouin was bustling with activity.

Many people are busy verifying the information.

Others are busy with layout design.

Zhao Yuan, accompanied by his personal eunuch He Yong, quietly entered the room.

Observing this official gazette publishing organization.

A court official suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Yuan and He Yong.

They also knew that anyone who could quietly enter the courtyard must be of extraordinary status.

He cupped his hands and said, "Does this gentleman have official business to attend to?"

He hurriedly said, "With the King here, why don't you let your superiors come?"

When the people in the house heard that the king had arrived,

He hurriedly put down his work.

He ran up to greet them.

Zhao Yuan quickly replied, "No need for formalities, you all go about your business."

Although Your Majesty said so,

However, none of them dared to actually do so, and they all bowed in greeting.

The official who was presenting the memorial ran out from the inner room.

Upon seeing that it was none other than the Prince of Liang, who had previously placed all the officials under house arrest, he hurriedly said,

"I was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "No need for formalities. Has tomorrow's official gazette been laid out yet?"

The official presenting the memorial was also unsure of Zhao Yuan's intentions and said nervously,

"Not yet. I'll bring the message to be sent tomorrow for Your Majesty to review."

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, I came here to ask you to add an advertisement."

The official presenting the memorial asked doubtfully, "This humble official is ignorant and does not know what an advertisement is?"

Zhao Yuan had also read a court gazette.

The contents include the emperor's edicts, the emperor's daily life, the appointment and removal of officials, the memorials of officials, battle reports, punishments, etc.

It can be said to be a completely official newspaper.

Moreover, they both only report good news and not bad news.

It is strictly forbidden to publish any content that is detrimental to the imperial court.

For example, natural disasters, military intelligence, court secrets, and official documents submitted by officials that have not been approved and published.

After the world is unified,

Zhao Yuan also considered adding more stories about the suffering of ordinary people in foreign countries.

Firstly, it can satisfy the people of this country.

Let them know how fortunate they are to be born in Daliang.

Secondly, it can also inspire some "noble" people to have the desire to save the people of other countries.

This laid the ideological foundation for his future expeditions.
