After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 508 Zheng Nandan

Yong Zhi smiled and said, "Since you have done a righteous deed, you deserve the reputation of being a virtuous person. Even the Duke of Yan appreciates you. You don't need to be afraid. Just go ahead boldly."

Zheng Nandan didn't dare to say anything and just bent down even lower.

Seeing this, Yong Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "Duke Yan is waiting for you, go quickly."

After saying this, he and Xiang Wei walked away.

After they walked away, Zheng Nandan stood up straight and turned to look at Yong Zhi's back.

Prince Yong, why did you take the initiative to say these words to him?

Are you trying to win him over?

When the Crown Prince of Emperor Ai fled south, Marquis Yong was implicated and died. Soon, this son of Marquis Yong will become the new Marquis Yong.

Zheng Nandan retracted his gaze, put away his thoughts, followed the servants, and slowly walked towards the courtyard of Duke Yan... He had already been appreciated by Duke Yan and had already touched the power center of this dynasty. He only needed to continue working hard, and in twenty years, he would be able to become Yong Zhi and would not need to be Yong Zhi's vassal.

"Duke, Mr. Zheng is here." The old steward of the Yan family reported.

Duke of Yan: "Please invite Brother Zheng in."

"Duke Yan, how are you?" Zheng Nandan asked as soon as she came in. Seeing that Duke Yan looked pale but in good spirits, she felt relieved and congratulated him instead: "Congratulations, Duke, on another accomplishment."

Duke Yan smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I also have a happy event to congratulate Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Nandan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said happily: “But your majesty accepted the secret recipe?!”

Once the secret recipe reached Lieutenant General Liang, it was no longer a secret, so Brother Xue told him.

Duke Yan nodded: "That's right, Mr. Zheng can rest assured."

Zheng Nandan was overjoyed. He stood up and bowed towards the imperial city, saying, "Your Majesty is merciful. The Huang, Xue, and Qin families thank you for your grace."

He sat down again and said in a relaxed tone, "Your Highness, you don't know. I've been very worried lately. I'm afraid that Long Ge'er will get himself into trouble... No, he will get himself killed."

Ha, Yan Zhou laughed and said, "I often hear you talk about Huang Yanglong. According to his style of doing things, it is indeed easy for him to get himself into trouble. But he has passed this test."

Zheng Nandan sighed, "You have passed this test, but it won't be long before he creates another one for you... Now I just hope he can return to Lingnan Prefecture as soon as possible, get married and have children. As long as he gives birth to a first son, I can return the Huang Family Business to him, and I can give an explanation to Brother Huang."

"Young people always like to make trouble. They will be fine in two years." Yan Zhou smiled. Because of Zheng Nandan's experience and his ability to stand up in desperate situations, Yan Zhou treated him very approachably.

After talking about some things, Yan Zhou was in good spirits and asked Zheng Nandan to continue telling him about what happened at sea.

Zheng Nandan talked for half an hour, but Yan Zhou still felt unsatisfied: "What a pity, we only went to the coastal area."

If we could go to the open seas and start maritime trade, we would surely be able to fill the treasury of the Wei Dynasty.

As long as there is money in the national treasury, the court will not have to levy heavy taxes... Ten percent tax is still too high, so high that it is like scraping flesh from bones.

The tax rate should be at least one in thirty, so that the people of the world can have a chance to recuperate.

In addition, there are various miscellaneous taxes, such as fines for not getting married...

Yes, if you don’t get married, you will be fined!

Yan Zhou stood up suddenly, startling Zheng Nandan and the waiters. Old Steward Yan hurriedly asked, "Duke?"

Yan Zhou said: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace to see the emperor."

In case of natural disasters or wars, taxes must be higher, but the fine for not getting married can be reduced by a few percent. In short, it cannot be much higher than during the reign of Emperor Ning Kang.

Otherwise, what is the difference between them and those beasts during the Ningkang period? !

"Yes." Manager Yan quickly ordered people to prepare the car.

Zheng Nandan tactfully said goodbye: "My Lord, I will take my leave first."

Yan Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, next time I host a banquet, Mr. Zheng must come. Don't refuse again."

Zheng Nandan smiled: "If the Duke invites me, I will definitely come."

……

The Xie Marquis Mansion also sent someone to deliver gifts and express sympathy for Yan Zhou's illness. It happened that Yan Zhou was riding in a carriage into the palace again. He handed over the invitation, put down the gifts, and then returned to the mansion to report.

After hearing this, Xie Jing sneered: "It's really an act."

If he really fainted, how would he have the energy to go back to the palace?

He snorted again.

Zhang Songyu knew what he was angry about, so she stroked his back and comforted him, "My husband, conferring titles on four concubines at the same time is actually a good thing for us."

Xie Jing frowned and looked at her.

Zhang Songyu said, "My younger sister is a calm person, how can she be a match for the Royal Concubine Yongde? Now that the Xiang family's daughter and the Wenchang Marquis' daughter have been promoted to higher positions, how can these two families not become more active after becoming Royal Concubines?"

"As long as they are smart and dare to fight, my sister will not only reap the benefits, but at least she will be less likely to be targeted by Concubine Yongde."

Zhang Songyu added: "My husband, everything else is trivial. There is only one thing we need to do now, which is to return to Jiangnan Prefecture as soon as possible. If we stay for too long, it may be difficult to leave."

Her face showed sorrow. She raised her hand and gently stroked Xie Jing's face. Her eyes swept across his face with a sense of attachment, but what she said was: "Husband, you can just go. Don't worry about me and the children. We will stay in Beijing... As long as you are well, we still have hope."

Xie Jing was in love with her now, so he had never seen her like this. He hugged her tightly and said, "Aqiong, you are my first wife, Xie Jing, and you have been devoted to me for many years. I will not abandon you... Even if I leave Cui Ge'er alone, I will not let you stay in Beijing!"

Xie Cui is their eldest son, and keeping him alone is enough.

The only person that Emperor Wuxing and Zhang Songyu wanted to keep was Xie Cui... She was a transmigrated soul, so Xie Cui could not be considered her own child. Even if she was her biological child after ten months of pregnancy, she could still give her up for the sake of fulfilling her great cause.

"No, Cui'er is only ten years old. He has never left my side since he was born. How can I let him stay in Beijing alone?" Zhang Songyu choked up, full of reluctance to leave his son.

After opening the conversation, it was easy to continue. Xie Jing said, "Aqiong, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Just leave Cui Ge'er here. He is the eldest son of the Xie family, and this is his responsibility... Don't cry, I will leave enough confidants to protect our son."

“Wu…” Zhang Songyu still cried, and when Xie Jing’s heartache reached its peak, she stopped crying and said, “You must protect our Cui’er. If anything happens to him, you don’t have to persuade him. I will definitely go to accompany him!”

"What nonsense are you talking about? You and Cui Ge'er will be fine." Xie Jing smiled. Holding the soft and beautiful girl in his arms, he couldn't help but want to be intimate with her.

Zhang Songyu pushed him away softly.

Xie Jing became more and more excited and said, "Aqiong, don't you want to give me another son?"

Xie Cui staying in Beijing is extremely dangerous. The Xie family really needs more sons, so as not to...

Zhang Songyu's cheeks flushed. "Of course I want to give my husband another child, but my husband has been staying in my room for three consecutive days. He should stay in other concubines' rooms for a few days... I am only one person, how many children can I have? My husband needs to be equally treated, so that he can quickly and effectively give birth to more children for the Xie family."

Which man doesn't love such righteousness?

Xie Jing pestered her for a long time, but in the end he was not allowed to stay overnight and was sent out of the yard by Zhang Songyu.

When Xie Jing left, he looked back twice, feeling deeply sorry for Zhang Songyu.

But Zhang Songyu was thinking: Humph, giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell. My life is used to pursue great things, it is extremely precious, how could I risk giving birth to a child for you? !
