The King of Southern Chu and Prime Minister Ye, both the monarch and his ministers, were very excited.
When Nanchu was facing the chaos of the Nangong family, both of them had experienced several deaths. No one knew better than them. They could wait until today when Su Rong defeated the Nangong family and Da Wei returned to the court victoriously, allowing the Nangong family to retreat in defeat. In Nanchu, it was not easy for the Wei Dynasty to vomit blood and cede the city, horses, gold, etc. after defeat. I never dared to think that I would be here today.
The civil and military officials standing behind King Nanchu and Prime Minister Ye were also very emotional. At first, all of them almost thought that the king was doomed. Even Prime Minister Night had abandoned the capital and Nanchu was about to face a different day. There is nothing they can do. They can avoid collaborating with the Nangong family and save their lives. It is good. Who would have thought that today, the princess is so powerful in the Wei Dynasty and has the potential to revitalize Nanchu.
A feeling of admiration arose in their hearts, but they also worried about it. The princess was so powerful, and it was said that there were countless capable people around her. In the future, they would have a good life under the queen's hands, or whether they would be purged after the princess returned to the capital. The court kicked out the court.
Su Rong’s team arrived at the capital of Southern Chu while countless people were waiting.
From a distance, she saw the King of Southern Chu and the civil and military officials standing at the gate of the royal capital to greet him. They were lined up neatly and solemnly. She had good eyesight and could see clearly. In the queue, she saw Qin Ruo, who was already wearing the official uniform of Nanchu. The official uniform of the fifth grade shows that the King of Nanchu gave him a very high position for a new entrant into the Nanchu court. After all, the fifth grade is not low.
"Tsk, is that Qin Ruo? It seems that your father-in-law is very generous." Zhou Gu naturally saw clearly, "Is it so easy to be promoted to an official position in Southern Chu?"
Su Rong turned to look at him funny, "If you don't become my royal husband and come to Nanchu as an official, based on the fact that you have protected my father for several months, your official position will probably be higher than Qin Ruo's. He I should be able to give you a genuine fourth grade."
Zhou Gu was immediately dissatisfied, "What do you mean by this? Who doesn't want to be your royal husband? Don't regret it. How dare you!"
Su Ronxiao, “I don’t dare, I’m just making a metaphor.”
Zhou Gu was dissatisfied, "A metaphor doesn't work either. Why don't you use Zhang Yun as a metaphor? How many grades can he get by being with me all the time?"
"Well, in terms of merit, he is almost the same as you, and he can also reach the fourth rank." Su Rong was very objective. "After all, Nanchu is short of talents now. You see, although the officials are neatly lined up, there are not many people. There are just a few dozen people." , the Nangong family faction and the clan faction have fallen, how many vacancies will be left waiting to be filled? Now is the time to reward based on merit and make exceptional promotions. When entering the court for the first time, a fourth-rank official, although it is extremely high, but It’s not like I can’t give it, it’s a special period.”
Zhou Gu nodded, "That's true."
He glared at Su Rong, "Don't go back to the capital of Nanchu, you are crazy. Let me tell you, there is no need to discuss the fact that I am the king's husband. There is no need to discuss the matter of me being the only one." discuss."
Su Rong didn't know where she had given him the wrong impression, which made him feel unsteady and unstable all the time. He always felt that she would regret it. This was probably all due to his little cousin Cui Yanjin, who always worriedly ran to Zhou Gu and said something about him. He heard too many words about his unlovable and bad-tempered cousin-in-law who didn't want him, and even though he was so angry that he wanted to beat Cui Yanjin, he was really affected by it.
She was angry and laughing at the same time, "Who will consult with you? My royal husband, of course I have the final say."
Zhou Gu choked.
Zhou Gu glanced at Su Rong and let her hold her hand. Su Rong led Zhou Gu and stood in front of the King of Southern Chu and the civil and military officials of Southern Chu. He smiled and called out, "Father."
The King of Nanchu was so excited that he agreed twice and walked forward quickly, wanting to hug Su Rong, but seeing that she was holding Zhou Gu in her hand, he couldn't do anything, so he could only stand in front of her and stare at her excitedly. His face was incoherent, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Are you tired along the way? Is it going well? Did you encounter any trouble? Why is it a few days later than the expected date of returning to the capital?"
Su Rong answered one by one, "I'm not tired on the road, it went very smoothly, and I didn't encounter any trouble. The reason why it was delayed for a few days is because my senior sister is pregnant, so the road can't go fast and it can't be too bumpy."
The King of Nanchu suddenly understood, tears of joy bursting out of his old eyes, "Okay, okay."
He restrainedly stretched out his hand, then withdrew it, and moved his eyes to Zhou Guan, "Have the injuries on both of you been healed?"
Zhou Gu withdrew his hand that was held by Su Rong, hugged the King of Nanchu, and smiled, "Father-in-law, do you want to hug me? Just hug me, no money is required. Our injuries have been healed long ago. Sorry for your concern."
Su Rong: “…”
Is Zhou Gu so good?
The King of Nanchu was stunned for a moment, but was soon warmed by Zhou Gu's embrace. He patted his back with his backhand and said excitedly, "It's good that the injury is healed. I heard that you are very dangerous. I am extremely worried and can't sleep peacefully. Now I’m finally back safely.”
Zhou Gu smiled and said, "We have great fortune and good fortune. It is probably as the old saying goes, good people have their own destiny, right?" He let go of King Nan Chu and pulled Su Rong over, "You also hug my father-in-law. "
Su Rong clicked her tongue in her heart, thinking that Zhou Guzhen never hesitated to please both sides, and he was so good at being a good person. This hug not only established his status in front of the civil and military officials of Southern Chu, but also saved her father from his incoherent speech and It was a gaffe that brought tears to her eyes, lest her father think about it later and feel that he had lost his dignity and face as a king in front of Uncle Xie.
She hugged the King of Nanchu obediently, also smiled, and whispered in his ear, "Father, I, Uncle Xie, am still looking at you. You have lost your composure."
The King of Nanchu stiffened up, his face also stiffened, and the excitement all over his body faded away like a tide.
Su Rong reached out and patted him on the back. He patted him twice casually without giving him time to digest. He let him go in a playful way, turned around and introduced him behind him, "Father, this is my thank you." Uncle, Xie Yuan, the person who taught me how to grow up, you two know each other, right? We haven’t seen each other for many years, do you have anything to say? "
The King of Nanchu thought to himself, to him, this little cotton-padded jacket was still a leaky little cotton-padded jacket, not as considerate as his son-in-law.
He smiled stiffly and greeted Xie Yuan, "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style!"
Xie Yuan's expression was much more natural, and he smiled lightly and said: "I don't dare to be the king. Just say thank you, brother. You can just call me sir. I haven't seen you for many years. I have never thought that the king has managed Nan Chu so well that I dare not compliment him. If I had known earlier. , I will not let Xiao Qi come to Nanchu, I almost died in the hands of Yuan Zhao for your country." (End of this chapter)
