The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

Soon, as the sound of horse hooves got closer, flags were seen fluttering in the distance, and a team was coming in a mighty manner.

At the front of the team was a guard of honor dressed in gorgeous costumes and several cavalrymen riding tall horses.

They were dressed in armor, holding flags with the emblem of the marquisate, riding at the front of the team, responsible for leading the way.

Then came a small group of soldiers holding halberds, all of them looking straight ahead and marching in unison.

However, the most eye-catching thing was the carriage that Li Shao and Zhao Ye were riding in, which was pulled by four tall horses. The horses' heads were decorated with gorgeous necklaces and red flowers, and they were covered in brocade, looking majestic.

The carriage has a gorgeous appearance, with golden patterns painted on the wheels and the body of the carriage inlaid with exquisite carvings and lacquer paintings.

The carriage is surrounded by a group of followers and guards, who accompany it on the left and right sides, wearing uniform clothes and with long swords or shields hanging from their waists.

There were several carriages behind the two men's carriages, including carriages for their retainers and trucks carrying luggage and daily necessities.

As the team gradually approached, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes focused on the luxurious carriage.

After the carriage stopped, the attendants beside it respectfully opened the door and helped Li Shao and Zhao Ye get out of the car.

The two men stood still and adjusted their clothes a little, then Li Shao looked up at Yue Zhang and others.

As if receiving a signal, Yue Zhang hurried forward and led all the officials to kneel down and salute, shouting: "I am the county magistrate of Anyang County, Yue Zhang, and I lead the county officials and the gentry elders to welcome the loyal and brave Marquis and his wife. May the Marquis live long and well! May the Marquis live long and well!"

Other officials and the public also echoed in unison: "Welcome to the loyal and brave Marquis, and the Marquis' husband. May the Marquis live long and well! May the Marquis' husband live long and well!" The voices were uniform and loud, and they must have been practiced in advance.

Following Li Shao's words, "No need to be polite."

Everyone slowly stood up, raised their eyelids slightly, and glanced at the famous Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his husband.

Li Shao was seen wearing a crown, a dragon robe, a jade belt around his waist, with a stocky figure and sharp eyes. He was of imposing bearing and extraordinary appearance.

Zhao Ye had her hair tied up in a high bun, wore a phoenix robe, and was surrounded by pearls and jade. Her face was as white as jade and her eyes were like autumn water. She was worthy of the description of being graceful, elegant and dignified.

Zhao's father and mother in the crowd were stunned. Is this still his brother Ye? ! They really couldn't recognize him, and at this moment, they felt an indescribable awe in their hearts.

Yue Zhang stood up and stepped forward respectfully and said, "My Lord, my husband, you two are tired from the long journey. Why don't you go to the courtyard I have arranged for you to rest? I have also arranged a welcome dinner for you."

"This time, the purpose of this Marquis's visit is to inspect government affairs and understand people's livelihood. Later, I will place my husband in the courtyard, and then I will begin to check the household registration, taxes, public security and other information of this county, and inspect the county town."

Yue Zhang immediately expressed his loyalty, "My Lord, you are really vigorous and resolute. I admire your diligence. I will fully cooperate and report all the affairs of our county in detail without hiding anything."

"With your wise review, I believe that the government affairs of our county will be able to move to a higher level, and the people will be grateful for your care, Your Majesty."

Just as Yue Zhang was flattering him nonstop, Li Shao said to Zhao Ye, "Brother Ye, look over there, are they your parents?"

"Huh?! Where?" Zhao Ye followed Li Shao's gaze and found that it seemed to be his parents!

But why are they here? They are still staying in the crowd, not running out and calling out "my brother Ye" or "my brother-in-law".

Zhao Ye only thought about his parents' daily temperament and character, but ignored the strict hierarchy of that era and the extent to which this hierarchical thinking was deeply rooted in people's minds.

In the minds of Zhao's father and mother, Zhao Ye, who had become a husband-in-law, had become someone they needed to worship, and they would not feel there was anything "wrong" about kowtowing to him.

Not only do they think so, but everyone in this world thinks so. If the two of them, as civilians, did not perform the salute, others would privately say that they really did not understand "rules and etiquette."

Before Zhao Ye could speak, Yue Zhang praised himself, "My Lord, Mr. Hou, you two are right. I sent someone to invite Mr. Hou's relatives here."

Everyone was very considerate and made way for Zhao's father and mother to pass, and their eyes were focused on the two of them.

Zhao's father and mother, who had become the focus, froze in place for a moment, not knowing what to do. They still said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, come here quickly. It's a good opportunity to go to the courtyard with Ye Ge'er to rest later."

"Mom and Dad, come here quickly. I didn't expect to see you here."

When Zhao's father and mother came up to the two men, they bowed again, saying, "Greetings, Lord Marquis, and Marquis' husband!"

Li Shao stopped him and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have to do this."

"Yes, Dad and Mom, no need to bow." Zhao Ye agreed.

Li Shao thought, since you guys have just kowtowed and Ye Ge'er has accepted it, you still have to pretend in front of others.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, common people..."

"Okay, that's really not necessary."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao immediately shut their mouths and dared not say anything else.

The officials around him, especially Yue Zhang, flattered him again, "My Lord, your husband is really kind and virtuous. This kind of demeanor is a role model for us. I admire him deeply."

"The Marquis and his wife value family affection so much that they are not bound by external etiquette. This wisdom and open-mindedness make this humble official admire it from the bottom of my heart."

"Seeing how well the Marquis treats his husband, I understand that being an official is not only about governing, but also about being kind and loving."

...

Li Shao got goosebumps when he heard this, and quickly interrupted them, "Okay, let's go to the county government as soon as possible and get down to business."

Yue Zhang immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty is right. Business is the most important thing. I have prepared relevant government documents in the government office and am ready for your review at any time."

The other officials also responded in unison: "We will obey the orders of the Marquis."

Afterwards, Li Shao and Zhao Ye took the still very stiff Zhao father and mother into the carriage and headed for the Anyang County government office.

Once you enter the county town, the scene is even more lively, with various banners, colorful flags and lanterns hanging on both sides of the road.

The people gathered on both sides of the street, knelt down to salute when Li Shao's carriage passed by, and then waved the flags and flowers in their hands, shouting: "My lord, are you well!" "Welcome my lord! My husband!" and so on.

Li Shao and Zhao Ye also lifted the curtains of their carriages to greet the people and respond to their enthusiasm.

After arriving at the county government office, Li Shao first placed Zhao Ye, Zhao's father and mother, and a group of attendants and maids in the courtyard prepared in advance by Yue Zhang, and then took his staff and retainers to the main hall of the county government office to check on the performance of officials, the execution of government orders, and the economy and people's livelihood of Anyang County.

Although Zhao's father and mother, who had left Li Shao, were still a little reserved when facing Zhao Ye, they were also much more at ease.

After all, they are Zhao Ye's biological parents. No matter why, they have been extremely caring and loving towards him over the years. They would send letters and gifts to the capital from time to time to ask about his well-being.

So Zhao Ye missed them very much, and the three of them chatted about family matters in a very intimate and warm manner.

Afterwards, Zhao Ye very seriously instructed Zhao's father and mother that neither of them nor all the Zhao family's relatives were allowed to do anything bad by using Li Shao's identity. If anyone dared to do so, don't blame them for being merciless.

Zhao Ye, who had been pampered for many years, seemed to have the aura of a superior. His father and mother didn't have the courage to do that.

Looking at Zhao Ye's expressionless face, they hurriedly made assurances, saying that they would never ruin the Marquis' reputation outside and asked him to rest assured.
