Tianliangyuan

Chapter 470 was planned in advance

"You don't need to be so formal. You are Xie Juan's husband, and you're family with us. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you, and we'll all be nice to each other!"

"Yes."

"If you want to gain a foothold in Yuzhou, remember to listen to the opinions of those around you and never act arbitrarily."

"Yes."

Seeing his attitude, Xu Zhaozhao felt relieved.

Xie Zheng glanced at her, and after receiving instructions, he went outside and led in a young man who looked ordinary but clearly skilled in martial arts.

"This man will be with you from now on. He is quite skilled and will mainly be responsible for your safety. After arriving in Yuzhou, you will inevitably be involved in some troubles. Li Shun, you must remember that at any time, your life is the most important thing."

Li Shun immediately understood: "Don't worry, I understand."

After sitting for a while, Xu Zhaozhao left first.

Xie Zheng glanced at Li Shun: "The situation in Yuzhou might be a bit tricky. The princess means that if you can handle it well, you will surely be rewarded with great achievements and have a bright future. But if you don't handle it well, not only may your promotion be delayed, but you may also get into a lot of trouble."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I understand. It is my honor to be at the Princess's beck and call. This is an opportunity, and I understand."

Since it's an opportunity, how could it only have benefits and no risks?

Since ancient times, wealth and honor have always been sought in danger!

Once it's truly accomplished, or rather, once the princess is satisfied, the subsequent benefits will be countless.

Li Shun naturally attended the one-month celebration for Xie Zheng's two children.

Just the fact that His Majesty specially sent the chief eunuch to deliver the reward shows the princess's status in His Majesty's heart.

Moreover, it is said that the day after the child was born, His Majesty ordered a large amount of tonics to be sent over, and the Empress was not left out either.

Now the little prince often follows the princess around calling her "sister," who can't see that?

Yuzhou is indeed a tricky situation, and it cannot be resolved in a short time.

Xu Zhaozhao made arrangements in Yuzhou two years ago. Now, sending Li Shun there is just a way to use his official position to carry out certain things openly.

Moreover, she had already sent Gao Da Kui out after the beginning of spring, while Gao Changxin and Changsheng remained in the capital for the time being.

Gao Da Kui is a steady and reliable person who has also fought in wars. He is a tough guy and has managed the business quite effectively in recent years. Therefore, Xu Zhaozhao can feel more at ease sending him there.

In Yuzhou, Gao Da Kui was essentially Xu Zhaozhao's right-hand man, which to some extent made people there more cautious in their words and actions.

Li Shun is capable.

Xu Zhaozhao wanted to bring him over because he was Xie's son-in-law.

With this identity, the people in Yuzhou dared not easily make a move against him.

Moreover, he has the manpower he had previously arranged. As long as Li Shun follows the normal procedures, the results should be visible by next year at the latest.

Xu Zhaozhao took the children to the Hundred Fruit Garden. The old lady was a little worried because there is a folk custom that children under 100 days old should not be allowed to leave the house.

However, Xu Zhaozhao insisted on going, and Xie Zheng was on her side, so the old lady couldn't stop her anymore.

As soon as Prince Li Guang arrived at the Hundred Fruit Garden, he couldn't contain himself any longer. He didn't care about being a nephew or not and ran straight inside.

Xu Zhaozhao hadn't even settled in when she heard Li Guang excitedly shout, "Wow! There really are cranes! They're so beautiful!"

Xu Zhaozhao smiled and gestured for everyone to continue tidying up, while she slowly walked out.

There were not only cranes here, but also other small animals. After watching the cranes for a while, Li Guang went to see the rabbits being fed by the servants.

"Can rabbits be kept as pets?"

Xu Zhaozhao moved closer to him: "Why not?"

Li Guang squatted on the ground, not caring about his appearance at all, and looked up to say, "But I used to raise them too, but they all died."

Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "That's because you don't know how to raise them, or rather, the people at the Beast Taming Garden don't know how to raise them. If you like, you can take two back with you when you leave."

Rabbits have a surprisingly high reproductive rate.

That's why Xu Zhaozhao chose to have people raise rabbits.

In the beginning, this place was too poor, lacking everything, and people couldn't live without ever eating meat all year round.

That's why Xu Zhaozhao had someone set up her own breeding farm.

It's actually quite simple; you just need to set aside a specific area to feed these little creatures.

For example, rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc.

It's quite nice here now, with a good environment, beautiful scenery, and a comfortable temperature, making it suitable for living.

Xie Zheng has to work shifts and can't stay here every day, but whenever he has free time, he comes here to stay with his wife and two children.

Xu Zhaozhao took Li Guang under her wing and taught him personally, but what she taught him was not found in books and was unknown to the tutors in the palace.

For example, Xu Zhaozhao would tell him when to plant, how much tax farmers had to pay after the harvest, and how much grain a family of five needed to consume in a year to survive, and so on.

What Xu Zhaozhao taught him were all basic common sense about life.

But as a prince, he knew nothing about these things.

Xu Zhaozhao already had a plan in mind. Since this young prince was willing to get close to her and had such ambition, why couldn't she help him ascend to the throne?

Besides, if she remembered correctly, Li Jin, formerly known as Prince An and now the Crown Prince, was a ruthless man.

In Jiang Ning's memories of her previous life, Li Jin had killed many people, especially after he secured the throne. He then slaughtered many meritorious officials, with the entire Jiang family being the first to be targeted.

Judging from this point alone, Ang Lee is not someone you can get close to, let alone trust.

Therefore, Xu Zhaozhao has been thinking of a way out for the Xu and Xie families, or a safer and more secure way out.

It wasn't until the rumors about her started last year that Xu Zhaozhao suddenly thought of the sickly little prince.

Who would have thought that bringing the young prince to the imperial estate was actually Xu Zhaozhao's plan from the very beginning?

Sure enough, because the young prince's body was healed by Xu Zhaozhao's supernatural abilities, he naturally loved to be close to Xu Zhaozhao and was more dependent on her.

The opportunity is here!

His Majesty's health is still very good, and he will not have any problems within the next ten to eight years.

Moreover, with Xu Zhaozhao around, it's no exaggeration to say that as long as His Majesty's head hasn't been severed, Xu Zhaozhao has a way to save him.

Therefore, with such a powerful assistant as Xu Zhaozhao, how could they possibly just stand by and watch Li Jin, who revealed his viciousness after taking power, rise to the top?

Just wait and see. The position of Crown Prince may seem to be established and secure, but in reality, the real struggle has only just begun.

The Loyal King will absolutely not let this go.

Next, Emperor Yong'an will surely consider the art of balancing things out. He is the emperor, and even his own son cannot covet what he is unwilling to give!

This is human nature!
