Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 243 Cousins ​​talk about playing chess

In the Palace of Wende in Da Nei, His Majesty gave rewards for meritorious service in frontier battles.

"Lao Wu, I heard from General Su that you burned the enemy's forage and hijacked the enemy's cavalry, and you have done a lot of good work. What reward do you want?" His Majesty asked.

Zhao Bai stood up and knelt in the center of the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Father, I have selfish motives for this trip, so please fulfill my wishes."

"Oh? Tell me."

"The Shou Yuan Festival is approaching, and several other royal brothers and younger brothers have birthday gifts. My son and minister have no special talents. I want to present this frontier battle achievement as a birthday gift to my father. I hope my father will not dislike my son. A little bit clumsy."

His Majesty nodded, "Lao Wu has a good intention, but even so, I have to reward those who have made merit. Now that you have reached the age of weak crown, I will make you the county king and title you. After the weak crown ceremony, I will He lived separately in a separate government and came to the court to be appointed."

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhao Bai thanked him happily and returned to his seat.

"King Bin."

"I'm here."

His Majesty called out, and Zhao Shun immediately stood up and knelt in the center of the hall.

"King Bin, in the battle on the border, you captured the enemy general and led the troops to defeat the enemy. Although you were the governor, you acted as the vanguard, which is indispensable. Now that you are the king of the county, you have been crowned the prince. King Bin Although he is young, he is capable both in civil and military affairs. I have decided to appoint King Bin as the commander of the front department of the palace to command the imperial army."

"My lord, thank you for Your Majesty's holy grace."

Zhao Shun kowtowed and thanked him. His Majesty asked with a smile: "King Bin, you have already made an engagement. I don't know when we will get married. Would you like me to have a glass of wedding wine?"

"I have discussed with the Yue family and want to marry the county lord before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhao Shun said.

"Well, the county master is smart, pure, and pure. He is indeed a good match. You should treat me well and stop messing around with women." His Majesty said.

"I will live up to the county master and the grace of His Majesty and the Queen." Zhao Shun said.

"Okay, get up."

-

Coming out of Wende Hall, Zhao Bai hurriedly caught up with Zhao Shun.

"Brother Shun Wang, we are very happy today, how about you and I have a drink? I also want to thank Brother Wang for your support. If it weren't for Brother Wang, I might not have returned from the battlefield alive." Zhao Bai said.

"Today, I have something to do at my house. Your Highness, Prince Dai, please celebrate with General Su." Zhao Shun said.

As soon as the two people left the palace, they met Zhao Yi and Gao Lu entering the palace.

"Brother Wang, Your Highness, Fifth Highness, congratulations on your return in victory." Zhao Yi congratulated him with cupped hands.

"Brother Wang Yi, you're welcome." Zhao Bai replied.

Zhao Yi looked Zhao Shun up and down, frowned and asked with worry: "Linchuan, brother, what do you think you are tired and looking bad today? Did you overindulge last night? Haha, have a good rest, brother. Send some supplements to your house."

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Wang. My brother is fine."

Zhao Shun chuckled. He originally suspected that what happened last night was related to Zhao Yi, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

Zhao Yi nodded, "Well, then, Brother Wang, His Highness the Fifth Prince, I will take the first step."

"Brother Shun Wang, what is going on?" Zhao Bai looked at Zhao Yi's back and asked: "What happened to your palace?"

"It's okay, Your Highness, Fifth Prince, I'm going back to my house first."

Zhao Shun left Ouchi and went straight to Linyuan. When he arrived at Linyuan, he learned that Shen Qinglan had left.

He wanted to go to Shen's Mansion immediately, but was stopped by Taoist Priest Xiu Yuan.

"Cousin, you are so smart, why are you so confused at this time?"

"I'm anxious. I need to see Sisi to feel at ease."

Taoist priest Xiuyuan pulled Zhao Yi to sit down beside the chessboard and said: "At this time, it's better not to let the little girl see you. When she sees you, she will only think of what happened last night."

"Then...doesn't it mean that if I sit back and ignore her like this, I'm chilling her heart?" Zhao Shun said.

"Your top priority now is to find out the thief in your palace. Otherwise, how can you have the face to see her?" Taoist priest Xiuyuan said.

"It makes sense, then I'll check it out now."

Just as Zhao Shun was about to stand up, Taoist Master Xiu Yuan quickly put down his tea cup and waved to him to sit down.

"Murong Bo has already gone to investigate. It's not your turn to intervene in such a trivial matter. You'd better sit down and play chess with me." Taoist priest Xiu Yuan said.

Zhao Shun accompanied him to play chess with a look of despair on his face, and suddenly asked: "Cousin, when will you return to secular life?"

"Return to the secular world?" Taoist priest Xiu Yuan just took a sip of tea and almost choked himself, "Why did my cousin say this? I have never thought about returning to the secular world."

"My cousin came back because he was concerned about family affairs, right? I heard that my aunt is sick?" Zhao Shun asked.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan directly denied it: "Is Madam Jiang Tai sick? This Taoist priest doesn't know."

Zhao Shun sneered, "My cousin is ruthless, after all, she is your biological mother. Madam Tai is old, don't you plan to go home and take a look?"

"That's all." Taoist Priest Xiuyuan sighed, "I am now serving Sanqing. Even if I return home, it will only cause more troubles to the Jiang family members."

"Cousin, why did you have to become a monk in the first place? Is it really because of the eldest princess as the rumors say?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Don't talk nonsense! Rumors are just rumors, not true. I am a Taoist, not because of the eldest princess, but because I have seen through the world of mortals." Taoist priest Xiu Yuan said.

"I know that you don't want to participate in the family fight." Zhao Shun said.

Taoist priest Xiuyuan did not answer. He smiled and stroked his beard, picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard.

"Linchuan, I have something to advise you."

"What's the matter?"

"The little girl of the Shen family was scared to death last night. She may be afraid of getting close to you in the future. You must not beg in a hurry."

Zhao Shun almost crushed the chess piece in his hand, "Yes, I understand."

A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by thunder soon after.

"What are your plans to marry the little girl of the Shen family?" Taoist priest Xiu Yuan asked, took a sip of tea, and said, "Perhaps, cousin, I can stay and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

"I just mentioned to her last night that I wanted to get married during the Mid-Autumn Festival," Zhao Shun said.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, time is a bit tight, but both of your houses are responsible for everyone's great cause. Even if it is urgent, it is just to spend more money. Then will she agree?" Taoist priest Xiuyuan asked again.

Zhao Shun shook his head, "If what happened last night had not happened, we might still be able to discuss it, but now..."

"You still have to work harder. If you open up your heart and talk, it will be much better. Now that things have happened, you have to be responsible for others." Taoist priest Xiuyuan said.

"Report to the prince! We have found out clearly." Murong Duan said outside the pavilion.

"Who is he?" Zhao Shun asked.

"It's Mingyue, the maid in the mansion. My subordinates also found a package in her room. It seems that she wants to escape."

"Has the person behind it been found out?" Zhao Shun asked again.

"Your Majesty...is..."

Murong Duan stopped talking and glanced at Taoist Xiuyuan.

"But it doesn't matter."

"This is the Crown Prince of Prince Heng's Mansion."
