Seeing Chu Huanyan coming over, Zhou Yubai calmed down the heaviness and helplessness in his expression and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Huanyan, your uncle and I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry."

"Yes, you have traveled a long distance, have a good rest. My uncle will have lunch sent to your room later, and then he will pick you up in the evening." Zhou Xuanqi also said quickly.

"Huangfuling came to visit today. It may not be for my grandfather and uncle. You two don't have to think that I am being implicated. If you really mean implicating me, it is the affairs of the court that have implicated the Zhou family." Chu Huanyan said in a tone of voice. calm.

Even if Huangfuling had interacted with his grandfather, his visit now was definitely for him.

Zhou Xuanqi shook his head in disapproval, "Huanyan, although you are a queen, you can't be too involved in government affairs, let alone have too much contact with the Huangfu Mausoleum. If word spreads, I'm afraid you will have the reputation of being involved in the affairs of the harem. .”

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about this. Xiao Jinzhi won't blame me."

"Huanyan, it's not surprising that you two newlyweds are so affectionate now, but if things continue for a long time..." Zhou Xuanqi didn't say any more, but the worry in his expression was very clear.

He had also heard about some things in the imperial city. The emperor was getting married... Such news was really ridiculous.

Although everyone was saying that the Queen was really lucky to have such love and support from the Emperor, he, as his uncle, naturally hoped that Huanyan would go well.

It is scary to be afraid, flowers will not last forever, and no matter how deep the love is at this moment, it will be worn away. If you cannot be careful in your words and deeds, I may leave a clue in the future.

Looking at Zhou Xuanqi, who was thinking and calculating for him, the smile on Chu Huanyan's face became thicker, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and her tone became more relaxed when she spoke again.

"My uncle is right. People's hearts change over time. However, it is not certain who will change their hearts. Maybe I will be the first to dislike Xiao Jinzhi in the future. Why should I be so worried now?"

"Huanyan, what are you talking nonsense about?" Zhou Xuanqi said quickly, but looking at the smile on his niece's face, he felt a little helpless.

Zhou Yubai looked at Chu Huanyan's appearance, thought for a moment and then said: "That's it, Xuanqi, just follow what Huanyan said and invite people in. After all, we are far away from the court, and some things may not be handled well by Huanyan."

Zhou Xuanqi looked at his father, nodded at last, glanced helplessly at Chu Huanyan, and walked out of the lobby towards the door of the mansion.

Not long after, Huangfu Ling, dressed in black clothes, appeared outside the lobby, followed by Ling Qi as before.

"Mr. Zhou, we haven't seen him for many years." Huangfuling walked into the lobby, looked at Zhou Yubai sitting there, and bowed with his hands raised.

"It doesn't have to be like this. I'm just a man in white clothes, and I can't bear the courtesy of His Highness the Regent." Zhou Yubai's tone was lukewarm, and he secretly looked at the person in front of him.

After not seeing each other for many years, the aura of the other party has become far stronger than before.

"Mr. Zhou, you are serious. Not only did you give me guidance back then, but you also helped me save me. You can afford this gift no matter what."

As Huangfuling spoke, he went through all the etiquette before finally standing up unhurriedly and turning his gaze to Chu Huanyan, who was sitting beside him.

"I would also like to thank the Queen. If she hadn't spoken, I would still not be able to enter the Zhou family today."

"The Prince Regent is too polite." Chu Huanyan held the tea cup and just looked down at the mist in the cup, "After all, if His Highness the Prince Regent is not allowed to come in today, I think you will have a way to come in someday. I am afraid of Your Excellency. It’s a plan.”

"Ha." Huangfuling laughed, walked to the empty chair opposite Chu Huanyan and sat down, "The Queen completely ruined my king's plan not long ago, and now she seems to be mocking me."

Seeing that Huangfuling Mausoleum was so laid-back, as if gossiping as usual, Zhou Xuanqi couldn't control his temper.

"Just tell us what your Royal Highness the Prince Regent intends to do when you come to visit us today. Don't make any more detours."

"Xuan Qi." Zhou Yubai glanced at his son, signaling him to calm down.

The smile on Huangfuling's lips continued, "The King of Japan came to visit today for two things."

He looked at Zhou Yubai, "First of all, I still want to thank Mr. Zhou again for what happened back then. Secondly..."

Huangfuling looked at Chu Huanyan opposite, "I hope the Queen can facilitate the exchange between Hu and Jin states."

"What?" Chu Huanyan put down the tea cup in her hand with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Regent, because your threat of arrest failed, you are lobbying instead?"

Since Huangfu Ling had spent so much time setting up a trap in order to disintegrate the alliance between the two countries and destroy the relationship, then the two states of Hushan and Shanxi, including Cangwu Mountain in Beimo, might just be the temptation thrown out. Now that the other party has proposed to facilitate this matter himself, I don't know what twists and turns are hidden in it.

"I underestimated the Queen before, but now that I have suffered a loss, I naturally have no choice but to change my strategy." Huangfuling's tone was natural and casual, without showing a trace of annoyance because of the failure of the previous plan.

When Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai heard Chu Huanyan mention the establishment of a bureau in Huangfuling Mausoleum, they already knew that Danyue wanted to exchange the grassland for the two states of Hu and Jin, and they were unwilling to do so in their hearts.

But he also understood that this matter related to the entire Tianyi Kingdom, so he did not express his opinion on it. But at this moment, seeing Huangfuling bluntly expressing the hope that Chu Huanyan would help with this matter, the two of them suddenly felt unhappy.

Zhou Xuanqi looked at Huangfuling Mausoleum with cold eyes, the dissatisfaction and displeasure in his expression clearly visible.

He sneered and said: "Your Majesty the Regent, don't you think you are wasting your efforts? Regardless of whether the Queen can decide this matter, if the Queen really persuades you to agree, I am afraid that those who will be dissatisfied will be The common people will direct all their grievances at the Empress."

"But there are also many people who will be grateful to the Queen." Huangfuling stared at Chu Huanyan intently, "I think this is also giving the Queen a chance, a good opportunity to be recorded in the annals of history."

"No, I'm not that interested in the annals of history." Chu Huanyan shook her head in response to Huangfuling's gaze, "However, when His Highness the Regent came over today, he probably wouldn't just give a few words of casual persuasion." Well, if I reject you, what will you do next?"

From the moment she came in, Huangfuling's attitude was very gentle, and the smile on her face almost never faded away. But the more this happened, the more she felt...the other party was here to threaten!

Their eyes met, Huangfuling's eyes were filled with amusement.

"Then I can only tell the world that the Zhou family has surrendered to Danyue."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Xuanqi frowned, "The dignified regent of Danyue Kingdom is so shameless and lies!"

Faced with Zhou Xuanqi's anger and accusations, the smile on Huangfuling's face grew stronger.

Looking at the other party, Youyou said: "Who said that this king is just talking nonsense? This is a fact."
