About six days after leaving Suzhou, Zhou Guangxiao received a letter from the Duke of England, which stated His Majesty's decree and the current school examination arrangements. The time was not urgent. From the third day of the August 19th to the sixth day of the August 19th, nine wins were decided in four days. He was able to receive His Majesty's commendation before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was also considered to add some supreme glory to their family's celebration.

Zhou Guangxu had no objection to the arrangements of the Duke of England. Although he was called assistant manager, the more he let go of such a thing, the more he would be good for him. He would not really discuss it with them intimately, which would only increase His Majesty’s suspicion?

Zhou Guangxu immediately replied that he had no objection, but since he was an assistant manager and had no contribution, he might as well choose two subjects to add some prizes. There are still a few good bows at home, so he can find a new owner for them at that time.

The British Duke replied to the letter and thanked King Zheng for the person who watched the formation and competed, so the matter was decided.

Both sides agreed on the matter in a harmonious manner, and the letters were only three days.

The car was slower, so Zhou Guangxu calculated that he was still three or four days away from Jingyang. If he was still at this speed, he would probably miss the first day of the competition. Zhou Guangxu would never do anything to lose his word. After thinking a little, Zhou Guangxu stayed with the guards and rushed back to Jingyang with only two followers.

Looking at the walls of Jingyang City, the dawn on the second day of August is about to break through.

Zhou Guangxu walked quickly all night without any fatigue. When he returned to the royal palace, he looked at the newly decorated house and thought of the princess who were well-equipped. He felt it was appropriate in his heart. A small-skinned vision flashed through his mind, thinking that he had chosen the best one.

Zhou Guangxu suddenly came back and did not say hello to anyone at all. Princess Zheng was overjoyed when she heard the movement. Zhou Guangxu cleaned up, used breakfast, and explained a little about why she returned to Beijing in advance. She said something and went to court.

Princess Zheng actually wanted to tell Zhou Guangxu about the Northern Zhou oracle. In her heart, the two were not only husband and wife, but also the best ally, but they did not find the right time to speak. Just when they were a little depressed, they were overjoyed when they saw their personal maid Chen'er. Princess Zheng felt a little uncomfortable, but Chen'er was really happy for her master.

Seeing Princess Zheng's gaze, Chen'er said happily: "Princess, if someone else says that the prince loves the concubine, it's all superficial. After the prince came back, he just came to the main courtyard to talk to you. He was afraid that you would be worried, so he explained a lot. But he didn't see him go to see Princess Xiao, which shows that the prince respects your wife from the bottom of his heart."

Princess Zheng nodded, "I am one with the prince and his wife, and I am truly sharing honor and disgrace. No matter how proud the concubine is, she is still a concubine. She does not have to bear the responsibility of the wife. No matter how favored she is, she is a pastime. The prince is in love with the world, so he naturally understands."

Xiao Yuan was young and a little sleepy. When she woke up and finished washing, Zhou Guangxu had already gone out to work for an hour. As soon as Ajuan opened the door, she saw a 15 or 16-year-old girl standing under the corridor outside the door, standing quietly.

Ajuan recognized her as Chang'an, the goddaughter of the mansion's chief manager, Madam Chen. When Madam Chen followed Empress Yuan in the palace, she accepted her goddaughter and had a goddaughter. However, the goddaughter died of labor after being released from the palace, leaving such a daughter. She grew up so old in the mansion that she often spread messages to Madam Chen. The masters took care of her, and the servants were respectful.

"Chang'an, why are you here?" Ajuan is about the same age as Chang'an. The two have little contact with each other, but they are very close.

Chang'an smiled gently and gently, "Madam Chen sent me to pass on a message, thinking that the concubine was not awake yet, I will enjoy the cool air in the corridor."

Princess Zheng has no grandchildren, and Empress Yuan passed away. Madam Chen abides by the rules and does not let Chang'an call her grandmother. Chang'an is well-behaved. Madam Chen is raised by something, and she acts exactly the same as Madam Chen. She is solemn at a young age. Because she is in love with Ajuan, she speaks very lively.

Ajuan nodded in the yard and signaled them to have breakfast, so he took Chang'an into the house, and cared, "Have you used the meal? I've been waiting for a long time, but I have to cushion my stomach." Xiao Yuan didn't care about these little rules, so Ajuan could make the decision.

Chang'an thought of Ajuan's kindness in his heart, but refused, "I used a small bowl of porridge when I came, and I was not very hungry."

Xiao Yuan sat down and dressed up, a little bored. When she heard the movement outside, she spoke before Ajuan reported, "Chang'an is here, don't wait, let's talk."

"Yes." Chang'an responded and followed Ajuan in.

"Have you eaten?" Before Chang'an could speak, Xiao Yuan asked.

Xiao Yuan was really, Ajuan followed her. As soon as the master and servant spoke, they asked about food. Chang'an replied again, his eyes smiling, and he was not as serious as he was when he was walking around the main courtyard.

"Okay." Xiao Yuan nodded and asked casually, "What's the matter with Madam Chen who sent you here?"

"The prince is back." Chang'an replied.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked at Chang'an with a bright look with a smile. She thought she was really happy.

"The madam said that the prince came back with an urgent matter. After changing his clothes, he hurried to court. Perhaps he would have to discuss matters in the palace. I was afraid that you would not know about his return, so I sent the madam to tell you. The madam let me go."

"Ajuan, look at the reward." Xiao Yuan looked at Chang'an with a smile.

Chang'an didn't know if this simple concubine understood the meaning of Madam Chen letting her go, so he added, "In another two days, Princess Langhuan will enter Jingyang and come to the mansion to visit the princess. It's related to Northern Zhou."

The meaning of Chang'an is to understand, but Nan is the main concubine and the eldest princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Her sister entered the mansion to visit and support her. At that time, I hope that Xiao Yuan, the concubine, could avoid her sharpness.

Xiao Yuan smiled and did not respond or ask. Ajuan just smiled and sent Chang'an out. Chang'an was a little anxious. When he arrived in the yard, he grabbed Ajuan's hand.

"Sister Ajuan, the prince told Madam Chen to go there, and Madam Chen sent me again, but it was because she was worried that the princess was staring at the concubine's yard. This morning, the prince came back and changed his clothes in the yard and hurried to court. The yard might be proud. If he saw Madam Chen coming and leaving here at this time, he would be afraid that he would be dissatisfied. When Princess Langhuan came, even if she rubbed her concubine a little, she would not be willful. Then she sent me to report. My sister has always been steady, and she must persuade her concubine to bear it in the past few days. Do you understand?" Chang'an said earnestly, Ajuan kept nodding,

Ajuan forwarded Chang'an's words to Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan didn't care much, "I know Madam Chen's kindness and I am very grateful to Chang'an. But the prince doesn't really want me to tolerate it. What's more..."
