Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[49]

It was dusk when Zhou Jinyu came out of the palace, but what puzzled her was that this place was obviously the palace, where the luck of heaven and earth gathered, and there were crows "croaking" flying over her head.

After all, she still failed to ask the emperor for an official position, but fortunately, the emperor gave her another chance. Next month, the emperor will try Chunwei for all the sons in the world, and Enke will get an official position.The emperor said, if she wins the exam this time, he promises to give her an official position that satisfies her.

But Zhou Jinyu always felt that what the emperor said was out of line. Let alone how many candidates took part in the imperial examination this year, and no matter how talented and knowledgeable they were, but if he thought of the future husband-in-law of Princess Yuanzhao Feng Weizhi, this matter is so sleepless that she doesn't want to think about it.

After all, although Feng Weizhi has always been known as the No. [-] son of the capital, who knows how he came to be the "No. [-] son of the capital". Judging from his status as the grandson of the powerful general Han Tien-xin, Even if he wanted to be the "No. [-] Young Master in the World", he would definitely be able to be one.

If she guessed correctly, the emperor's additional trial of this spring must have paved the way for Feng Weizhi. After all, if Feng Wei had no fame, he might not be worthy of that Yuanzhao princess Wei Huanian just as a commoner.

However, since the emperor had already appointed Feng Weizhi by default, why did he give her such hope again? Could it be that he wanted to prevaricate her again?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu suddenly became a little depressed, thinking that he had just secretly scolded Emperor Tianshun for "unfairly dealing with her" in the palace with the phrase "self-cultivation, family governance, country and world peace", so he did this again .

Outside the palace gate, the old housekeeper Zhou Cheng had already been waiting outside. When he saw Zhou Jinyu coming out, he hurried up and said, "Fourth Young Master, you can figure it out. I just saw you not coming out for a long time. I thought something happened to you." , but it made me anxious."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Uncle Zhou Cheng, I have nothing to do, but I was asked a few more words by the Long Live Lord inside, so I came out late."

Zhou Cheng nodded, and said: "Fourth Young Master, let's go back to the house quickly, the old lady and madam are probably going to be in a hurry."

Zhou Jinyu said "Okay" and got into the carriage. The carriage drove forward rapidly, passed through the Zhuque Street where every inch of land was expensive, took the road from Qianmen South Street, went straight all the way, and turned into Xiyan Street.

As soon as Zhou Jinyu returned to the Zhou family, all the servants in the courtyard were waiting for her. After all, her life or death in the palace is unknown. Everyone knows that the life of the world is only in the emperor's mind, and the emperor only needs to move. Fingers can directly crush people to death.

So for the servants of the Zhou family, seeing Zhou Jinyu come back alive and kicking is something worth celebrating.

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu were also waiting for Zhou Jinyu to come back in the outer hall. When the servants reported that "the fourth son is back", Mrs. Liu smiled at Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, don't worry, this is not Are you back?"

The old lady Zhou was so excited that she couldn't speak, she just held Liu's hand and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Zhou Jinyu came all the way to the front yard and outer hall, first saluted Mrs. Zhou, and said: "Grandma, grandson is back."

The old lady Zhou told her to get up quickly with a smile: "You child, after entering the palace and meeting the emperor, you are doing well."

Zhou Jinyu smirked and said, "Grandma, grandson has always been good, you just didn't realize it."

When she finished talking and laughing, she looked at her mother Liu Shi again. There was a trace of hesitation in Liu Shi's eyes, Zhou Jinyu put away his joking demeanor, bowed down to Liu Shi very solemnly, and said, "Mother, baby came back."

it is more than words.

Liu Shi nodded to her: "Get up."

Zhou Jinyu straightened up and grinned at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu asked her, "Is it done?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded, then shook his head again: "I don't know everything yet, but the emperor promised me that if I pass the spring test next month, I can become an official. A Niang, what should I do my child..."

Liu Shi only said: "You can decide for yourself, don't ask me."

Zhou Jinyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile, "I know."

Seeing that Zhou Jinyu came back safely, Mrs. Liu had no more worries in her heart, and she was about to go to celebrate the harvest year. The old lady Zhou took Zhou Jinyu and said, she asked Zhou Jinyu from time to time what the emperor told her, Zhou Jinyu picked up some novel knowledge and came to tell Mrs. Zhou.Especially when Zhou Jinyu and Mrs. Zhou said that the emperor was just like ordinary people, wading through the waves with his trouser legs stretched out and washing his feet in the basin, both grandparents and grandchildren couldn't help but giggled .

Before this, the Son of Heaven had always been a vague existence to this sixty-year-old lady.In fact, not only the old lady Zhou thinks so, but the people all over the world think so. The Son of Heaven is high above, and all people can only look up and worship. To them, the Son of Heaven is a god, a kind of existence like a god.

But now it is different, as long as Mrs. Zhou thinks that her grandson actually met the emperor and had dinner at the same table with the emperor, what an honor it is, no one else would envy her, when she thinks of these things, she feels It's like drinking honey.

Princess House.

Jiang Youde, who came to preach the decree, had just left before Wanqiu immediately cried: "Master, what do you mean by Long Live Lord, saying that you have lost your virtue, and you will be grounded for three days. God knows how big a crime is a lack of virtue. Who slandered you in front of Long Live God, and made you suffer such injustice for nothing."

Wei Huanian said calmly, "Lan Qiu, don't cry, it's just a three-day confinement, it's not a big deal."

Wan Qiu said: "Although Long Live Lord only grounded you, but who knows what will become of it once it is spread out, those people have always criticized you behind their backs, and hope for your well-being. Grandpa punished you, but I still don’t know how to arrange you behind my back.”

After listening to Wan Qiu's words, Wei Huanian pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Silly girl, don't cry. Anyway, it's not a day or two since they can't understand me, especially after having Ah Jing, I'm afraid that if the emperor didn't stop me, the historian It must be marked down in the annals of history.”

Only then did Wan Qiu stop crying, and said aggrievedly: "Then master, the young master has invited you to fly a kite tomorrow and Thursday, shall we go?"

Wei Huanian said: "Of course I can't go. Speaking of it, I still feel sorry for her."

Wan Qiu said: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is really a good person, she is trying to take our young master out to play in a different way."

Wei Huanian nodded, "Yes."

Wei Huanian thought for a long time. Although she knew that Wei Jingrui would definitely reject her, she still bit the bullet and explained to Wei Jingrui that she couldn't go out with Zhou Jinyu tomorrow.

Sure enough, Wei Jingrui put on a stern face after hearing this. He was playing Jiulianhuan, which was a tribute from the Western Regions. Now it's over. As soon as Wei Huanian said, he gently put Jiulianhuan back on the tray on the table.

Then, sitting on the small chair by himself, very quietly, he became angry.

Wei Huanian: "..."

She was most afraid of Wei Jingrui being like this, so she didn't cry or make trouble, she just sat there quietly, but she could clearly feel that he was unhappy, but she was helpless.

In the end, Wei Huanian was helpless, and could only say: "In three days, I will take you and Master Zhou to fly a kite in the suburbs, okay?"

Wei Jingrui didn't speak.

Wei Huanian frowned, but was finally defeated.

She opened her mouth and offered Wei Jingrui a condition: "Two days, if you eat obediently during these three days, mother will tell her to let her take you out to play for two days, how about it?"

Wei Jingrui suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Huanian.

Wei Huanian nodded: "Mother says what she says."

Wei Jingrui finally nodded.

Wei Huanian finally breathed a sigh of relief, she often felt that her "competition" with Wei Jingrui was powerless.

She sometimes wonders if she is incompetent as a mother, but it is also the first time for her to be a mother to someone else. She never thought before that she would be qualified to raise a child. Along the way, she Against all odds, it has been very difficult.

But that day, the scene of her taking over the child from the young girl's hands is still vivid in my memory. When the girl's eyes full of pleading appeared in my dream, her promise to her would instantly become clear.

Whenever thinking of these things, Wei Huanian felt that no matter how powerless he was to Ah Jing, he still had to do his best for the promise she made to the girl that day.

What's more, in the past few years of getting along, the relationship between her and Wei Jingrui has long been the same as that of mother and child. It is her luck to have this son by her company.

Half an hour later, Wei Huanian sat in the study, listening to Wushuang, the dark guard who replaced Jinfeng, come to deliver a message to her.

Wushuang is a girl. According to herself, she is Jinfeng's junior sister, but Wei Huanian doesn't pay attention to these things. She only knows that Wushuang is a girl whose kung fu is comparable to Jinfeng's, and she appreciates it very much.

Wushuang said coldly: "Master, there is news from the palace that the reason why you were grounded by the emperor this time is not because you left early during the ceremony."

Wei Huanian raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What is that?"

Wu Shuang said: "The brothers in the palace said that it is because His Majesty met someone today."

Wei Huanian asked: "Who is it? What did you say to my father again?"

Wushuang paused, and replied: "It's a person named Zhou Jinyu, she said, master, you...you..."

As a first-class dark guard in the dark guard camp, Miss Wushuang had seen countless bloody scenes, but now she was stuck in the face of this handsome but weak master in front of her.

Wei Huanian glanced at her and said as usual, "But it's okay."

Wushuang bit the bullet and said: "It's the man named Zhou Jinyu who told His Majesty that you invited him to the mansion over and over again. I'm afraid you had other plans for him. He asked His Majesty to make decisions for him, so Your Majesty banned him." your feet."

After Wushuang finished speaking, she stood there with her hands folded, waiting for Wei Huanian's reply.

Seeing Wei Huanian pause for a while, his chest heaving slightly, he said expressionlessly, "Oh."

Wushuang: "..."

Is the master angry qaq

After Zhou Jinyu finished speaking with Mrs. Zhou, she was going back to the East Courtyard. She wanted to review the conversation she had with Emperor Tianshun today, and then think about Emperor Tianshun's intention to let her take the No. [-] exam again.

But as soon as she arrived at the east courtyard, she saw Zhou Xiaoshan running in from outside.

Zhou Xiaoshan saluted and said: "Fourth son, just now Miss Caiyuan sent a message, saying that the day will not come."

Zhou Jinyu wondered: "Why? Didn't you just agree to fly a kite? Did you say why you didn't come?"

Zhou Xiaoshan said angrily: "Hey, Miss Wanqiu told me just now that she didn't know who had a bad brain, and secretly tripped up their lady. Her lady was sitting at home, and the disaster came from the sky. The one who was just killed couldn't come out of the mansion for three days in a row, and after the days are over, he can come to our mansion again."

Zhou Jinyu was also angry: "Is there such a thing? Why do you think this person is so hateful!"

Zhou Xiaoshan said: "Who's to say it's not? The villain is still thinking about going out to fly a kite with you. In this way, come on, we won't be able to go out either."

Zhou Jinyu said angrily: "It's unreasonable, who is such a bastard who can even do this kind of thing? You, you go and tell Miss Wanqiu now, let her go back to Little Baozi Niang, just say what I said, let She told me who that person was, and I would help them both to beat her up!"

Zhou Xiaoshan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, young master, I'll go right away."
