"Deng…"
Hurried footsteps sounded.
Yuan Xi turned around and saw Zhen Mi's sleeves fluttering as she ran toward him.
"Slow down, slow down. Be careful not to fall…"
"Bang ~"
Zhen Mi threw herself into Yuan Xi's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Husband, I heard from the servants that you were in a bad mood. Did Mi 'er make you angry before?”Zhen Mi looked up and asked pitifully. She was about to cry again.
Yuan Xi was helpless. Although it was nice to marry a little wife, she loved to cry too much. Sometimes, she had to coax her several times a day.
It was really painful and happy, making Yuan Xi unable to stop.
"No, don't listen to the servants 'nonsense. If husband was angry with you, he would have dragged you into the house and tortured you.”
" Sob! It's so embarrassing in broad daylight!"
Zhen Mi's attention was instantly diverted by Yuan Xi's strange words and she broke into laughter.
"Alright, wipe your tears and follow me to the Great General's Estate.”
"Oh right, send someone to my brother-in-law and ask him to use the family's caravan to help me find someone to come to Ye City.”Yuan Xi thought of something and instructed Zhen Mi.
"Who are you looking for? Isn't that right, young lady?" Zhen Mi said warily.
"Ha ~ Even if I want to find a girl, I don't need to trouble brother-in-law. Isn't this walking into a trap?”
"Hmph, then who are you looking for?" Zhen Mi was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Xi's answer.
"Find an old man, probably an old man. I'm not sure either. He's a famous doctor called Hua Tuo.”
" I know," Zhen Mi said unhappily.
Yuan Xi deliberately teased her when he saw this." Mi 'er, you're the only one in my room. Shouldn't you find me some concubines?"”
Zhen Mi looked at Yuan Xi with an aggrieved expression, tears streaming down her face.
After all, she was still young and was a proud daughter of heaven. It was normal for her to be jealous.
Yuan Xi immediately surrendered. Zhen Mi's tears were too lethal.
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Mi 'er is as beautiful as a fairy.”
"Really?" Zhen Mi choked.
"If you can find someone more beautiful than Mi 'er, then snatch her as a concubine.”Yuan Xi didn't intend to say it so firmly, leaving some vague thoughts for himself.
However, Zhen Mi laughed after hearing that. She looked up proudly and said,""It's impossible for anyone to be prettier than me.”
"Then what if husband finds a woman who is comparable to Mi 'er?”Yuan Xi began to lure him, thinking to himself,""Little girl, you still want to stop me from opening a harem? No way ~"
"As long as husband can be found and has a clean background, and is worthy of husband, I have no objections.”
Zhen Mi added a few prerequisites, but these were not a problem at all. As long as Zhen Mi agreed, she would fall into Yuan Xi's trap.
"Deal."
"Alright ~"
Zhen Mi didn't know that today's joke would make her suffer a lot in the future. She could only watch as Yuan Xi openly went home to bring her back.
......
Prince Zhao's mansion.
"Our family has really declined. Yuan Shao even dared to hit our Liu family's daughter. His descendants are unworthy and have disgraced our ancestors.”
A middle-aged man knelt in front of the memorial tablet and muttered to himself.
There were many memorial tablets on the incense table. At the top was Emperor Gaozu, Liu Bang, followed by Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, and many other ancestral tablets of the Liu family.
After Yuan Shao became the Hegemon of Hebei Province, the women surnamed Liu who were qualified to marry Yuan Shao could only be the daughters of the imperial clan.
The elder brother of the vicious woman, Lady Liu, was the current King of Zhao, and his name was Liu Gui.
Zhao State was a vassal state of Jizhou. The administrative system of the Han Dynasty was a system of prefectures and counties and enfeoffment. There were prefectures and counties prefects and princes.
After Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he naturally had a connection with the King of Zhao. The King of Zhao saw that Yuan Shao had already become powerful and his wife had died many years ago, so he directly married his sister to Yuan Shao.
Although the world was in chaos and the Han Dynasty was declining, being able to marry a daughter of the imperial clan was also quite beneficial to Yuan Shao.
"Ancestors, unfilial descendants, incompetent. Looks like my Han clan will not be able to protect it…"
"First, there was Dong Zhuo who caused chaos in the Imperial Court, and then there was Yuan Shu who arrogated to himself the title of Emperor.”
"Now that Yuan Shao has unified Hebei, he is just like Emperor Guangwu back then. He has the power to dominate the world…"
Gaozu protected Guanzhong, Guangwu occupied Hanoi, and Liu Xiu occupied Hebei to make a fortune and unify the world.
It could be said that the current Yuan Shao had activated Liu Xiu's template.
"I'm afraid that I can't continue to be surnamed Liu in this great land. However, in the future, the son of heaven will definitely have the Liu family's bloodline.”Liu Gui said hatefully.
Reorganizing the mountains and rivers and helping the Han Dynasty, Liu Gui asked himself that there was nothing he could do.
However, helping his sister's child, Yuan Shang, become the heir to Yuan Shao and let the future emperor continue to have the Liu family's bloodline was the only thing he could do.
Yuan Shao was the most powerful duke in the world, and he controlled the four northern states. His power had already been established, and after Yuan Shu failed to claim the throne, he was now bringing the Imperial Jade Seal to Yuan Shao.
No matter how one looked at it, Yuan Shao looked like he had been chosen by the heavens. Liu Gui felt that it was understandable that the country would be surnamed Yuan in the future.
Liu Gui was the one who pushed for Yuan Shang to sacrifice himself to save his mother. He wanted to give Yuan Shang more leverage and make Yuan Shao think more highly of Yuan Shang.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Han Dynasty was weak, but the feudal lords were still feudal lords. They still had great influence in the local areas.
Ever since the founding of the State of Zhao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there had been eight generations of Zhao kings. In the small area of Jizhou, they were still the local tyrants. They had a wide network of connections and were deeply rooted.
It was a piece of cake for Liu Gui to spread the news of fishing vessels that were beneficial to his nephew.
After all, Yuan Shang was not the eldest son. If he wanted to become Yuan Shao's heir, it would not be justifiable from the legal point of view, so he had to have enough leverage.
There were only two factors that were beneficial to becoming the Crown Prince. One was filial piety, and the other was virtue.
To a certain extent, Liu Gui and Yuan Xi's thoughts coincided with each other, and they both had the idea of obtaining the title of 'filial son'.
Unfortunately, Liu Gui was Yuan Shang's uncle, but he had nothing to do with Yuan Xi. Yuan Shang had the help of his maternal family, while Yuan Xi could only rely on himself.
