fake emperor

Su Suyi looked absent-minded until he reached the Hall of Ci'an, Qin Zuo was a little worried, and said, "Do you feel unwell? Call the imperial physician to have a look."

Su Suyi shook her head and said, "No problem, maybe it's because the weather has been too hot recently, and I'm not used to it."

Qin Zuo had no doubts, and only ordered Wang Jin to place more heat-reducing objects in Shuanghua Hall in the future.This is a trivial matter, but it has become a major matter when it comes to Su Suyi, and it is worthy of her personal instructions.Wang Jin naturally responded respectfully.

Entering the Ci'an Hall, Empress Dowager Zhu seemed to have just come out of the Buddhist hall, still holding the Buddhist beads in her hands, Qin Zuo smiled slightly, took a Buddhist scripture from his sleeve, and said: "I copied this for the empress. Buddhist scriptures, can the empress take a look at it?"

Empress Dowager Zhu smiled and asked the maid to bring it to her, flipped through a few pages, and said: "The word Huang'er is becoming more and more correct, and he has a heart."

Qin Zuo blinked, she had already imitated the former emperor's characters perfectly, but she didn't like it very much, so she slowly leaned on her own characters, subtly, and now no one doubts it.

After chatting for a while, Qin Zuo seemed relaxed and said: "Mother, the King of Chu gave me a note a few days ago, saying that he will come to Chang'an to celebrate your birthday in the next few days."

Empress Dowager Zhu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Have you agreed?"

Qin Zuo had a smile on the corner of his mouth, seemingly helpless and disdainful, and said: "Of course I agree, Uncle Wang has such a heart, why should I be a villain."

Empress Dowager Zhu didn't speak, she seemed to be contemplating something, and after a long time she said: "The emperor knows these things well."

"Naturally, there are countless of them. This time Uncle Wang returned to Beijing, he only brought a few family members with him."

Both of them had something to say, but Su Suyi kept silent since entering the door, just listened quietly, but kept stirring Sipa's fingers to reveal the turmoil in the master's heart.

Not long after, Qin Zuo left with Su Suyi. He really just came to inform Empress Dowager Zhu, but Empress Dowager Zhu did not ask to stay.As soon as he came out of Ci'an Hall, Qin Zuo saw that the people around him were silent, so he couldn't help pulling her hand over and gently holding it.

Qin Zuo's hands were a bit rough, but they could make people feel at ease. As soon as Su Suyi touched them, a warmth came from his hands instantly.Turning her head to meet the worried gaze of that person, Su Suyi frowned and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm fine."

Qin Zuo only thought that she might be tired, and wanted to let her rest, so he immediately led her back.Su Suyi was half a step behind, looking at the profile of the person in front, the expression on her face suddenly relaxed, and after taking a deep breath, she revealed a faint smile.

The king of Chu came very quickly, and within a few days someone came to report that the king of Chu would be able to enter the city almost today at Shenshi.

Although Qin Zuo would not stoop to greet him, he still couldn't help hosting a banquet to entertain the only prince of Daqin who came all the way from the desolate Liaodong to Chang'an.

Qin Zuo originally wanted to ask Su Suyi to accompany him, but Su Suyi felt a little uncomfortable, which made Qin Zuo almost cancel the dinner.He hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come, and after seeing for a long time that there was nothing serious, he only said that he needed a good rest, so he felt relieved.

So Qin Zuo called Zhuge Ting into the palace. After all, he had never met the King of Chu, and it would be better to have someone he knew by his side.It’s just that this kind of action has a lot of meaning in the eyes of other people. The emperor’s meeting with the King of Chu in the palace is a family feast, and the family banquet does not bring a concubine, but Zhuge Ting is called into the palace...

Anyway, Zhuge Changqing has already prepared the manuscript, and when his daughter returns home, he will have to interrogate her.

There were only a few people at the dinner party, apart from Zhuge Ting, it was the king of Chu and his family.The concubine of the king of Chu is deceased, and she has two side concubines, but they have never been born. The only heir is a daughter from the concubine of the king of Chu.This time the King of Chu brought only his only daughter, Qin Shuli, the lord of Ningshu County, to Beijing.

When Qin Zuo arrived, King Chu and Princess Ningshu had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and Zhuge Ting also sat down with a smile on his face, but Qin Zuo could tell at a glance that this smile was all fake.

As soon as the Lord came, the King of Chu and Princess Ningshu immediately got up to greet him.

Counting it, the king of Chu was already in his forties, and he only arrived in Chang'an an hour ago, but now he has cleaned himself up, without any sense of embarrassment.The black hair is mixed with silver hair, and it is neatly tied behind the head with a white hair crown inlaid with gold. His appearance is rather weak, but his whole person is spirited, and he is a handsome uncle.

The one standing under him is Princess Ningshu, but she is dressed as a heroic man with a pair of peach blossom eyes. If you look at it as a man, it is indeed romantic and suave.

Qin Zuo noticed that as soon as she appeared, she looked this way, as if she was looking for something, but she only took a glance and then looked away, which was well concealed.

Qin Zuo looked at the two of them, and they naturally observed Qin Zuo without leaving a trace.

Seeing Qin Zuo's frail body, King Chu's expression remained the same, but his eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.The corner of Princess Ningshu's eyes twitched, obviously disdainful, but she lowered her head, Qin Zuo couldn't find it, but Zhuge Ting who was beside her saw everything.

Qin Zuo smiled and asked everyone to sit down. The King of Chu was very skillful in talking with Qin Zuo, talking about it since she hugged her when she was a child.Qin Zuo was very interested on the surface, and responded with a hmm, but in fact he was confused in his heart, as if he knew the history of the former emperor.

After drinking for three rounds, the first meeting between Qin Zuo and the King of Chu should be over. It was agreed to visit the Queen Mother Zhu tomorrow, and the banquet came to an end.

After drinking some wine, Qin Zuo asked Zhuge Ting to accompany her for a walk to clear up the alcohol, so as not to go back to Shuanghua Palace and smell Su Suyi, which is not beautiful.

The two talked about King Chu while walking along the avenue. Qin Zuo remembered the way Princess Ningshu looked at him when she resigned. Although it was only a glance, she still caught it.He couldn't help but ask about her.

Zhuge Ting was also drunk, so he simply introduced a few words without thinking too much.Qin Zuo knew that the princess was 23 years old but not yet married, and the king of Chu tried to force her, but it didn't work.After all, the king of Chu only had this one daughter, and she had been doting on her since she was a child. Even if she was forced, she was reluctant to resort to any powerful methods.

Thinking of her attire, Qin Zuo smiled and said, "The description is too masculine, I'm afraid no young man would dare to marry her?"

"Hehe..." Zhuge Ting smiled lightly, and blurted out: "I don't like it..." He stopped talking for a moment, looked at the faces of the people beside him, and kept silent.

Qin Zuo only heard half of it, and asked curiously, "What don't you like?"

Zhuge Ting waved his hand: "It's nothing, this is a family matter of the King of Chu, what's there to say, if you want to worry, you should worry about it."

Qin Zuo thought about it for the same reason, the key is that she didn't take the princess to heart, and she didn't bother to hold on to it.The two walked for a while, and just reached the gate of the palace, Qin Zuo was surprised: "I came here before I knew it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for her to respond, he waved his hand and said proudly: "Just pretend that I sent you out of the palace." There was a sense of great grace in his tone.

Zhuge Ting seemed to be amused by her, burst out laughing, and deliberately made a blessing gesture, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The warm yellow palace lanterns illuminated a circle, and Zhuge Ting stood in the brightest place in the circle, with a smile on his face, gentle and meticulous, and compared with his usual shrewd and domineering, he had a different flavor.

Qin Zuo didn't know what to say next, and he said after a long time: "I saw your young man pacing up and down outside, go back quickly."

Zhuge Ting saw her stunned expression just now, and after hearing what she said, he smiled and jumped away after saying goodbye, as if he was in a very happy mood.

After seeing her meeting with his servant, Qin Zuo turned and left. Now the smell of alcohol on his body has almost dissipated, and he will go back to Shuanghua Palace to take a bath again, and he will definitely not offend Su Suyi.
