The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 550 Harem Affairs 1
On the third day of December, Yuanyang, heavy snow.

Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind blew, and the city of Yuanyang was wrapped in plain silver.

This is the second winter after the zombie outbreak.

Winter is undoubtedly tough, especially during the outbreak of zombies, which will test the ability of officials at all levels in Yongwang Mansion to distribute food, firewood and other materials.

Officials are under a lot of pressure, and ordinary people are also under a lot of pressure to survive.

After winter came, the common people were still assigned tasks, such as cutting down trees and digging ditches.

At this moment, outside the east gate of Yuanyang, a large number of people were returning, holding various tools in their hands, obviously they just came back after finishing their work.

"In three days, the little prince will be a hundred days old!"

"The prince is benevolent, and the offspring will be blessed!"

"That's natural, the prince is a person who upholds the destiny, how can his heirs not be favored by God!"

While everyone was discussing, one person asked: "My lord... I'm afraid he hasn't returned to the city yet?"

"I probably haven't come back. I'm afraid I'm still in Liyan Mansion right now. I don't know if the prince will come back in three days!"

"For our livelihood, the prince has traveled a lot..."

"Yes!"

Beicheng, Prince Yong's Mansion, inner house.

Xue Baoyun was sitting in the side hall of Yongfu Palace, wearing a pink jacket, and was sitting behind the desk to settle accounts.

This time her son's [-]th birthday banquet, she plans to hold a good one, the specifications refer to the last full moon banquet.

Holding a banquet consumes a lot of materials, so she has to plan carefully and save where she can.

At this moment, Yuzhu came in from outside the room, and said with a smile on her face: "Ma'am, don't even mention... that thing called air conditioner is really easy to use, let's take a look at Nuanchun in this room!"

Xue Baojun smiled slightly, nodded and said: "It's not just warm, I feel a little hot, you can go and cool down later!"

"Yes!" Yuzhu replied.

But she didn't turn around and leave immediately, but came to Xue Baojun's desk and handed out a letter carefully.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the prince from the Liyan Mansion, and it was sent back with the official document today!"

After receiving the letter from Yuzhu, Xue Baojun opened it up for a closer look, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Keep everything simple...he said it easily!" Xue Baoyun slapped the letter paper on the table.

It's fine if you don't hold a banquet. What makes Xue Baoyun even more uncomfortable is that this letter was only sent back today.

There are only three days left, and Xue Baojun sent out all the invitation letters. Wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of his ministers if he missed the appointment.

"When Hong'er was born, how many times did he visit?"

The more he talked, the more angry Xue Baojun got up from the chair and said, "I've been outside for a few months, and every time I go out for ten days and half a month and don't come back..."

"It's easy for him to be the hands-off shopkeeper...but he can't even give up the money and food for Hong'er's centenary banquet!"

Seeing that the concubine's words became more and more outrageous, Yuzhu took several steps back, and signaled the maids serving inside and outside the hall to back down.

As a bystander, Yu Zhu could understand Xue Baoyun's anger in front of all this.

What happened today was just an inducement.

Xue Baoyun was really angry because during this period of time, Zhao Yanxun didn't care enough about their mother and child, but cared too much about Lin Jingyu.

"Your Majesty...don't get so angry!" Yu Zhu said carefully.

"Are you angry? If you are angry, it will be worth it to let him take another look!" Xue Baoyun sat back again.

After venting her words, Xue Baoyun's anger subsided a lot, and she still had to face the problem in front of her.

Looking at the list in front of him, Xue Baojun said: "This banquet will not be held, but I invite someone to chat... The prince will never object!"

"Your Majesty, what a plan!" Yu Zhu immediately flattered her.

Xue Baojun continued: "It's in the back garden, on Peach Blossom Island. It won't cost too much to invite people to drink tea and enjoy the snow!"

This solution is the best, at least Xue Baoyun won't lose face, it's just a bit shabby.

"If someone asks about it at that time, I'll say...it's what the prince meant!"

"Just do it like this, Yuzhu...you go and rearrange!"

Yu Zhu nodded, and replied: "Your servant is going now!"

After Yuzhu left, Xue Baojun picked up the letter from the table, read it again and felt unhappy.

In fact, it is rare for her to be in this situation now, so at this moment Xue Baoyun is reflecting on herself and telling herself to control her emotions in the future.

After all, she is not yet seventeen, and some young daughters are quite normal.

Besides, when Yuzhu walked out of the side hall, she didn't rush to arrange affairs, but called together the maids who were on duty just now.

"Did you all hear what the empress said just now?" Yu Zhu asked with a cold face.

"Listen...I heard it!"

"Did you hear it? If you heard it, it would kill you. Let me ask you again... Did you really hear it?"

After several maids looked at each other, one of them replied: "No...we didn't hear it!"

Hearing this, the rest of the people quickly said that they didn't hear it.

"It's fine if you didn't hear it, but if your mother's words are spread, you won't be able to live... Do you understand?"

All the maidservants quickly replied: "I understand!"

Yuzhu waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"

"Yes!"

When the maids stepped back, Yuzhu started to work.

First of all, she has to find the kitchen and ask them to re-plan the ingredients. The most important thing is to prevent these people from taking kickbacks and put the responsibility on Yongfu Palace.

While Yuzhu was busy here, Zhou Lanzhi received a message from the eunuch in the side hall on the east side of Yongfu Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is a woman outside Xibian Gate, holding your sign, Madam, saying that she is looking for you urgently!"

Putting down the books, Zhou Lanzhi got up from the chair and straightened the wrinkled robes.

The outer robe was cut from high-quality silk with exquisite patterns embroidered on it. Even before the end of the world, Zhou Lanzhi had never worn such expensive clothes.

After hearing the eunuch's report, Zhou Lanzhi knew who was coming, so she walked out of the room, followed by two maids.

After entering the mansion, Zhou Lanzhi was conferred the position of concubine and lived in Xue Baoyun's Yongfu Palace, which made the place really full.

If Zhao Yanxun brings a woman back again, he can only be resettled with Huang Rongrong and Lin Jingyu.

Walking out of Yongfu Palace, Zhou Lanzhi, accompanied by two maids, came all the way to the west gate.

The west gate is guarded by royal guards, and there is no special entrance and exit sign, so outsiders can't enter at all.

At this moment, Wang Sanniang was standing outside the West Bianmen, walking back and forth with her big belly upright, and she had to find a way to resist the severe cold weather.

Seeing Zhou Lanzhi's arrival, the guard on duty immediately saluted.

Stopping ten meters away from the West Bianmen, Zhou Lanzhi said to the maid on the side: "Go and tell the guards, I'll just talk to Sanniang here, let them be more accommodating!"

"Yes!"

The maid immediately came to the guard and explained it to him in detail.

To be honest, this is not in line with the rules, but the guard has no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"After entering, don't go beyond two feet, or you will be killed!" The guard on duty warned sternly.

The guard's words were so murderous that Sanniang was so frightened that she said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes..."
