Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Several people searched for it in Sanshou City for a whole day but couldn't find it.

Xie Zhaozhao said with red eyes: "We should just go up and ask her if she is Jiu Tian."

Zhou Shaoyu supported her and consoled her, "There are many children aged four or five in the world. We just met for the first time, so it's hard to be sure if it's Jiu Tian. Besides, the man leading her is not Yu Chanzi."

The most important thing is that according to Lu Feiyan’s description, Fanghu Mountain should be south of Baiyue City, not in the north.

Even if Jiu Tiansi came down the mountain when he was four years old, he wouldn't be able to reach Sanshou City so quickly.

Due to many reasons, I hesitated and passed by the other party.

Who could have thought that the Red Sleeves Dance would catch fire?

"Master, I have checked. There are only two roads out of Sanshou City. One leads to the sea, and the other goes west. There are two forks on the road leading to Pingshou City. One goes north the way we came, and the other goes south. They are one big and one small. Even if they take a carriage, they won't get far. Should we continue chasing them?"

"Chase."

Xie Zhaozhao gritted his teeth.

The carriage quickly left Sanshou City, and the men split into three groups, chasing in the south, west and north.

After searching for three whole days, the three met again in Pingshou City, but still found nothing.

The three decided to chase westward.

Xie Zhaozhao wanted to use the local army to help with the search, but Zhou Shaoyu shook his head: "Do you still remember what the Living Buddha said? Jiutian is dedicated to the people. If we use the local armed forces, it will cost a lot of money and manpower, and it will only damage her merits."

Xie Zhaozhao gritted his teeth and decided to look for it himself and continue looking.

They found Zhongzhou along the way.

Along the way, except for the six states that opened up to trade and had rich and comfortable horses, the rest of the states and counties were basically well-fed and well-clothed.

With high-yield seeds brought in from abroad, bumper harvests can be seen everywhere.

Looking at the people bringing their families with them, the smiles on their faces, the hopes for the future expressed in their mouths, and listening to the sound of reading aloud coming from the academy, Xie Zhaozhao's anxious heart eased.

Lu Feiyan was right, everything was the best arrangement.

"Jingchen, I think that little Taoist priest is our Jiutian. Now that you have seen her, there is no need to look for her anymore. When twelve years are up, she will naturally come back."

Seeing that Xie Zhaozhao was able to let it go, Zhou Shaoyu said, "Master Yu Chanzi said that he went down the mountain to save people from disasters at the age of four. We are lucky enough to meet him. The little Taoist priest in Sanshou City should be Jiutian."

It's just a meeting, any more and it's gone.

Regardless of whether he is being taken care of by my side or not, Jiutian is living well, healthy, safe, smart and cute, which is enough to comfort me.

"Zhao Zhao, eight years will pass quickly. In eight years, Xiao Heng'er will be 22 years old and in the prime of life. We can leave the court and travel around the world with Jiu Tian. We can spend three years with her before she reaches the age of marriage."

Zhou Shaoyu said domineeringly, "Besides, even if she finds a prince consort, we can keep her for a few more years. It's not too late to get married when she's 20 years old."

By this calculation, I can still accompany you for another eight years.

The two men walked to Zhongzhou and decided not to look for it anymore.

Instead of being obsessed with what is unattainable, it is better to cherish what you have now.

Train Zhou Qiheng to be better and lay a solid foundation for Yulong Kingdom's future hundred years. When my daughter comes back, I can let go of the court without any worries and accompany my daughter.

"Shall we go see Jin'an?" Xie Zhaozhao said, "The last time I saw him was more than ten years ago."

Zhou Shaoyu nodded: "Okay."

He felt a little sad in his heart, and then he smiled slightly, alas!

As soon as he entered Zhongzhou, he happened to meet Prince Rong and his group of concubines, who were passing through Zhongzhou while sightseeing.

Prince Rong was very surprised. He pulled Zhou Shaoyu aside and insisted on talking late into the night, saying that they had not seen each other for more than ten years and he didn't know when they would meet again.

While Zhou Shaoyu was talking to Prince Rong, Xie Zhaozhao went to the Temple of Loyalty and Martyrs first.

Prince Rong was originally a leisurely prince. He was a heartless man who did not look old. Although he had white hair on his temples, he was still very elegant.

"Jingchen, are you really planning to have only Emperor An in your harem?" Prince Rong felt that with Zhou Shaoyu's status and looks, it was a waste of talent to only stay with one person for his entire life.

"Except for her, I don't have any woman in my heart. Who else is better than her?" Zhou Shaoyu looked at his uncle and said bluntly, "You are almost sixty years old, are you still okay?"

"You little... are you kidding me? How can a man say no? Hey, the military power is in her hands, the offshore fleet is in her hands, the crown prince is her son, the prime minister, the left and right prime ministers are all hers, doesn't this world belong to the Xie family?"

Zhou Shaoyu couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle Rong, what do you mean by smart? What is stupid?

The world is guarded by Emperor An, and the court is watched by the Xie family. I am the emperor, and my son will be the emperor in the future. The Xie family will assist him with all their strength. Why should I still be afraid of the Xie family's strength?

They are a thousand-year-old family with a profound heritage. They wanted to be emperor and they did it decades ago. Now it’s our turn to make way for people like us, the Zhou family?

Do you think a woman like Emperor An can't find a good man? Or does Uncle Wang think that I am the best in the world?

If you want to be like my father, balancing the court, with the three palaces and six courtyards being disloyal to her and fearing her, forcing her to be separated from me, how can you, uncle, have the leisure to talk about it in front of me? Isn't this stupid?"

Prince Rong was speechless for a moment.

"Uncle Rong, there is no such good thing in the world. You want both..."

Even if Duke Cheng'en Wei Jingzhong once had great power over the world and half of the civil and military officials in the court obeyed Wei, so what?

The Zhou Jingrui they supported was Emperor Hui's biological son.

Emperor Hui always wanted to kill Wei to avenge Concubine Yun. Was it really because he loved Concubine Yun?

It's just a matter of having both!

Prince Rong's old face turned red, and he stammered for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, your father and I were both wrong! Our minds and horizons are both narrow."

Their conversation soon reached Xie Zhaozhao's ears. She burst out laughing after hearing what Zhou Shaoyu said.

He said: "You have eight hundred tricks, yet you pretend to be honest!"

Zhou Shaoyu's path to becoming a powerful official was not given by Emperor Hui. Instead, it was his meticulous planning that helped Emperor Hui stabilize his rule for more than a decade.

His feelings for Xie Zhaozhao were never ordered by his parents, but were planned by him.

Conquering a vast empire was never his goal. He indulged Xie Zhaozhao, gave her slack in both open and covert ways, and used his position as a powerful official to nurture her rapid growth.

She moved step by step from the harem to the imperial court, and grew from a noble lady who strictly abided by the rules and regulations to an empress praised by the world, all of which were inseparable from his support like spring breeze and rain.

Daqian and Yulong became one, and the two emperors ruled together, but the court was stable and the world was prosperous. Who could say it was not his credit?

Without him, there would be no Yulong today!

He is the mentor of her growth, he is the driving force behind her success, and he is her eternal support.

No one can provoke it.

*Temple of the Martyrs.

It was cloudy in Zhongzhou today with a drizzle. Not many people were burning incense, so the Temple of Loyalty and Martyrs was quite quiet.

Xie Zhaozhao's carriage stopped outside the temple. Bei Chen, Dong Yue and Yun Yuan accompanied Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu into the temple.

All of them have met Yin Jinan, and they are all brothers.

Especially Yun Yuan, who fought in the wilderness and the thirty-six northern states with Yin Jinan, and their relationship was deeper than others.

After entering the temple, he placed the incense, lotus candles, etc. that he had prepared in advance on the incense table, and inserted the burning incense into the incense burner.

Xie Zhaozhao looked around the temple inside and out. There was a lot of dust, and there was a layer of dust on the statue of Yin Jinan.

The eternal lamp before the statue was running low on oil.

She frowned and said to Yun Yuan, "Find the temple manager over here."

Yun Yuan called the manager, a man in his forties with his trouser legs rolled up, who probably had just returned from the fields.

"Are you the manager here?"

"Yes, sir, what do you want?"

"Why is the lamp oil gone? Why isn't the dust wiped off?"

The steward smiled and said, "Sir, the weather here is dry, and dust is everywhere all year round. Even if you wipe it clean, it won't last for half a day before dust falls again. The eternal lamp has been lit all the time, but I forgot to add oil today."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Didn't the court allocate funds specifically for this?"

The manager said, "We have always allocated funds on time, but recently there have been personnel changes at the top, and the new governor and county magistrate may not have taken care of it yet. Don't worry, sir. I will pay for the oil and offerings right away."

Xie Zhaozhao said to Dongyue: "You go with him."

Dongyue drove the carriage with the steward and quickly bought three or four baskets of incense and candles, as well as several large barrels of fragrant oil, which made the steward very excited.

"My dear, the King and the Duke will surely bless you with great wealth and honor. You don't know that the King will be so effective!"

He quickly filled the eternal lamp with oil, and asked the people living near the temple for help. He wiped all the statues and installed sand-proof windows.

Snacks and flowers are also placed on each incense table.

Only then did Xie Zhaozhao feel slightly relieved.

Sitting in front of the statue, he talked to Yin Jinan again.

"Jin'an, time flies. It's been more than ten years. Now Yulong Country is rich and strong, with a strong army.

I have four children. The eldest is fourteen years old. He is both civil and military, and was made the crown prince. He has a lot of his father's style, and I think he will be a wise ruler in the future.

The second brother likes literature. He has a photographic memory for all classics, history, and literature. He is also good at planning and scheming people, so he must be a great help to his elder brother.

The third child is lively and young, but he likes to follow Gu Chongjin and spends a whole day in the martial arts field. He is supposed to be good at martial arts and will be Heng'er's right-hand man in defending the border in the future.

But the youngest daughter was born unable to bear money, and the royal family's daily food, clothing, housing and transportation were a burden to her. Now she was sent to Fanghu Mountain to learn skills from the immortal master, and she could only come back after a century.

The Living Buddha said that his daughter came to help him resolve a worry.

Everything is perfect for me now, but if I have to talk about something, there is one thing on my mind - and that is you!

I can change my fate, all thanks to your help.

Without you opening overseas routes for me, I would not have been able to accumulate wealth so quickly.

Without your help in conquering the wild land and the thirty-six states in the north, Daqian and I would have no chance of winning, and the tragedy of the annihilation of our entire family in our previous life would have happened again.

But you left so early, and left a will before leaving, asking the court to exchange your military power and military achievements for my safety.

Even if I kill the people who killed you, even if I make you a king or a god, it is just an empty title and I cannot bring you back to life.

Even this temple, which has been built for only more than ten years, has been neglected. If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that your face was covered with dust and the eternal lamp was out.

Jin'an, if I were to tell you what's on my mind, it would be you. You are the greatest pain in my life."

But how can I resolve this worry?

Xie Zhaozhao burst into tears.

Zhou Shaoyu had already separated from Prince Rong and came to the temple. He silently helped Xie Zhaozhao up and also lit a stick of incense for Yin Jin.

Men always speak simply and quickly: "Brother, we are all fine."

He gently tidied up Xie Zhaozhao's hair and said with a smile, "Shall we go back to the palace?"

"Well, back to the palace."

I have already seen my daughter, and if I wait another eight years, the whole family can be together.

When we came out of the Temple of Loyalty and Martyrs, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the sun shone down warmly, and the entire temple was bathed in golden light.

Xie Zhaozhao turned to look at the statue of Yin Jinan. In the golden light, Yin Jinan's unruly eyes seemed to come alive.

"Living Guanyin, wait for me!"

Eh, that day in Tokyo, we first met at Qingyuan Teahouse...
