The Zhou family is currently heading to the palace. It is a celebration and a tribute for the soldiers who came back from the border. Though it was not a big war and was just simply defending and fighting off barbarians from their various tactical attacks, it was still a heavy work that needs recognition.

When the family arrived and entered the banquet hall, all eyes fell to them. The air surrounding them is just unique and very different from the rest that people cant seem to resist staring at them.

Though only a small family, they has control over most of the power in the nation.

Especially when the General Wu was 'married into' their family.

Yes, that's right. 'The mighty General Wu married into the Zhou family' and not the other way around.

The people previously thought that he's been 'married into' the Zhou family because of coercion. But, seeing their interaction and his actions being 'forced', people reluctantly abandoned that idea.

Though both are men, the people still speculated that time that the eldest young master of the Zhou family would be the one to be 'married into' Wu Xuan.

This news made a wave in the capital and the high-ranking aristocrats for some time.

Unknown to all, the reason for this was very simple. However, the 2 has no reasons on disclosing it. Besides, no matter who was married into who's family, as long as they're together is all they really cared about.

Wu Xuan hugged his wife possesively when he felt those hot and eager gazes towards them. He immediately let out a pressure making those previous stares disappear without a hint.

Zhou Shan innerly shouted such big vinegar pot! He still leaned his body in his husband's warm chest and tightly held his hand indulgently making his hubby's facial expression immediately soften.

The family stopped in front of the emperor, casually bowed down their heads and went to their respective seats. Though casual, they were still respectful and not an ounce of arrogance could be seen.

The emperor just smiled to his childhood friend's family. Already used to it and besides, each member has done great contribution to the the nation. How could he get angry or upset just because of their casualness with him? In fact, the emperor like it very much.

"Little Ya has been cultivated carefully." The emperor's words made Zhou Ya a bit embarassed. She knew that her physical growth is too much that it seems intimidating and not like her self 5 years ago which was pitite and fragile like porcelain.

Imperial Duke heartily replied, "Your Majesty's words are indeed correct."

Unlike the emperor's happy face, the person beside him, though, was showing a sincere and friendly smile all the time, the resentment that was carefully hidden behind his eyes couldnt escape Zhou Shan's sensitive and observant nature.

He sneered at the male protagonist's perfect mask. Such person was always favored by the heavens and given such luck and halo which make Zhou Shan think that the heavens are of not a good thing for it blesses the people that do everything it takes, whether it is good or bad, as long as they get whatever they desired.

"What are you being dazed about? Not paying attention to your husband!" Wu Xuan indignantly grumbled as he put his head to the crook of his wife's neck and bit his ear lightly.

The bitten ear instantly went red making Wu Xuan satisfied. However, Zhou Shan remained unemotional.

He still needs to save some face for these people around here and not just randomly give them dog foods after all!
