"That's good. You're used to being in the military camp. Now that you've entered the capital as an official, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt." Mu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and refilled the hot tea for him, saying with a smile. "You also know how to choose a day to come. Today, the imperial kitchen has prepared a mutton pot. You love mutton. I will have two drinks with my cousin later."
"Okay." Mu Nanshan agreed.
November 23, the first year of Tianding
King Huijun bid farewell and set off back to southern Xinjiang.
The first day of December in the first year of Tianding
Guangxi Governor's Yamen.
When the imperial edict from the capital arrived, Long Live Lord promoted Liu Changsheng to the rank of fourth-rank defensive captain, and named his wife Zhou Ran the rank of honorable minister.
Liu Changsheng, Zhou Ran and his wife expressed their gratitude and accepted the order.

study.
"Master Zhou, this is an autographed letter from Lord Long Live. I will hand it over to you personally." Xiao Anzi took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it into Zhou Chi's hand.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhou Chi took the envelope, took out a purse and stuffed it into Xiao Anzi's hand.
Xiao Anzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Zhou is too polite. How can I dare to accept Master Zhou's gift? Master Zhou is going to kill me."
"You're welcome, father-in-law. It was really hard for my father-in-law to travel all the way from the capital to Guangxi," Zhou Chi said casually as he put the purse into Xiao Anzi's hand, poured tea for Xiao Anzi and handed it over, " I wonder if Prince Hui is doing well in the capital?"
Whether Prince Huijun is living well in the capital, Xiao Anzi, the personal eunuch who serves in the imperial study every day, naturally knows that Zhao Ruhai is getting older, and now he has taken over most of the matters of serving the emperor, and he waits in front of the emperor all day long. Since he saw with his own eyes the attitude of the officials in the court towards Prince Hui, it was just that Princess Linglong was involved. Naturally, he was not in the mood to be an outsider. At that moment, he just said to Zhou Chi: "Everything is fine with Prince Hui in the capital."
When Zhou Chi heard what he said, he felt a little absent-minded for a moment. He didn't know whether it was relief or loneliness. He lowered his eyes and took a shallow sip of bamboo leaf green. He asked in a deep voice: "Who are you planning to send to southern Xinjiang and Siam?" People are discussing, can my father-in-law hear about it?"
"How do you know this important military matter?" Xiao Anzi shook his head hurriedly and said with a smile, "Didn't Long Live Lord write a letter to Lord Zhou? Maybe the answer Lord Zhou wants is in the letter."
"That's right." Zhou Chi smiled faintly.
After sending the servants to send Xiao Anzi to stay at the post house, Zhou Chi was reading Lu Zhishan's autographed letter to him in the study. It was a light piece of paper. He saw the setting sun from noon until Zhou Ran opened the door and came in. At that time, he was still holding the letter in a daze.
"What happened?" Zhou Ran looked worried. Zhou Chi was always worried about this whole process. Although Yi Ying's daily life was as usual, she was Zhou Chi's eldest sister and the one who helped him grow up. She could tell whenever something was wrong with Zhou Chi.
However, this time, she could only worry secretly.
Zhou Chi didn't want to say it, and she couldn't ask. She vaguely knew what and who Zhou Chi was worried about, so she really couldn't tell.
But today, Zhou Chi was so strange that she had to ask.
"Why haven't you come out for most of the day?" Zhou Ran sat next to Zhou Chi with a worried look on his face.
"Sister, take a look." Zhou Chi handed over the letter in his hand.
