White Hedge Dream

Chapter 211 Early Spring

The early spring sun was shining brightly, and it felt a little warm on my body. There was no need to wrap up my cloak tightly when sitting outside the mourning hall.

Zhou Jingyun took a sip of the hot tea from the chamberlain and looked around.

The emperor went to accompany Concubine Bai and the young prince. Although the concubines were still keeping vigil, there was no crying, and whispers could be heard from time to time.

There are even fewer officials outside.

Originally, I came here just to show off to the emperor, but now the emperor doesn't care anymore. The Yang family has also disappeared. Once the queen was buried, no one mentioned it again.

"Your Majesty asked Li Yu to send the queen to the imperial mausoleum, and the rest of the procedures will be handled at the imperial mausoleum." The official on the side whispered to Zhou Jingyun, "Moreover, Princess Jinyu reprimanded the emperor, saying that the Yang family corrupted the family tradition and forced her father and brother to die for their evil deeds. Your Majesty, if you can allow her to be buried as a queen and enter the imperial mausoleum, it is already the end of your kindness and righteousness. Your majesty is not allowed to accompany her to the imperial mausoleum anymore. "

Zhou Jingyun said: "Then we don't have to go to the imperial mausoleum."

The official nodded: "That means the people from Taichang Temple will follow."

After saying this, Zhou Jingyun stood up.

"In that case, I'll go back first."

After that, he walked out. The official froze on the spot. He laughed the next moment and said to the other officials on the side: "This is too snobbish. Why is Prince Zhou such a person?"

The officials nearby laughed.

"Otherwise, who is Prince Zhou? An immortal?"

"Wake up, how come an immortal comes to the court to serve as an official? He should be free in the world of mortals."

"Please wake up, he is the one who can make His Majesty use the Board of Supervisors to investigate the case for him. This investigation will kill a descendant..."

"Do you think it's too much of a coincidence? It seems that Zhou Shizi and Zhang Ze have been in contact before..."

"Shh, look, Prince Zhou and Zhang Ze are talking."

Following the sound, the officials here looked forward and saw Zhou Jingyun walking into the open space in front of the palace and met Zhang Ze. The two stopped to talk.

Except for the officials who followed Zhang Ze to please him, when other officials met Zhang Ze, at most they nodded and said hello. But it seems that Zhou Jingyun and Zhang Ze didn't just say hello and passed by. Moreover, Zhang Ze smiled, and so did Zhou Shizi. .

"Many people are looking at the Crown Prince." Zhang Ze said with a smile and glanced at the palace not far away, "The Crown Prince is not afraid that my reputation will be affected?"

Zhou Jingyun said with a smile: "What? My reputation is not good, White Lady White Lady doesn't need me anymore?"

Zhang Zeha made a sound and looked Zhou Jingyun up and down: "The prince seems to be in a good mood." He smiled half-heartedly and teased, "The evildoer was punished and your wife's great revenge was avenged, so you are very happy?"

Zhou Jingyun's expression did not change and he looked at Zhang Ze: "Zhong Cheng doesn't look very happy. Empress Bai has given birth to a prince and has a bright future. This is a great joy. As the empress's dogs, you and I should be happy."

Zhang Zeha was about to laugh, but Zhou Jingyun's hand fell on his arm and slapped him to interrupt him.

"...But this is not the place to laugh." He said, "Zhongcheng, please restrain yourself. The Queen is your Majesty's first wife after all, so you must not humiliate her too much."

After that, he passed Zhang Ze and left.

Zhang Ze's smile froze on his face. He was a little stunned and a little embarrassed. He turned to look at Zhou Jingyun who was walking away.

"Is he crazy?" he asked the clerk next to him.

Why do you become so weird and talk crazy?

It doesn't match his face at all.

The clerk said: "It has been very strange for Prince Zhou to stay at the funeral these past few days. Many people are talking about it, saying that he behaves a bit arrogantly."

Broken jar? Are you going to stop being a fairy and become a madman? Zhang Ze sneered, "I don't care if you are crazy or insane. If you are useful, I will use you. If you are not useful, I will get rid of you."

Zhang Ze and Zhou Jingyun's "happy conversation" was not only seen by the officials in front of the mourning hall, but also by Princess Jinyu who was walking in from outside the palace.

"When did Zhou Jingyun get so close to Zhang Ze?" Princess Jinyu asked curiously, sitting on the carriage.

Li Yu was watching this scene from the side: "Maybe it's just out of politeness. Prince Zhou is personable, humble and polite..."

Princess Jinyu interrupted him with a burst of laughter: "Zhou Jingyun is personable, humble and polite? Then you know people and faces but don't know their hearts. This kid just has a personable appearance, but his temperament is unruly and arrogant."

She said it with a hateful voice. She refused her invitation last time at Lingquan Temple. She didn't know what was wrong.

Thinking of Lingquan Temple, Princess Jinyu felt a little regretful. If Zhou Jingyun came in as scheduled, rumors would spread that she would be having trouble with Prince Zhou. It would be better to have trouble with those bald, disgusting people!

"Yang Yuan's death was all because of him." Princess Jinyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "His Majesty should be disgusted with him..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yu.

"Aunt, no. My aunt now hates Yang Yuan for committing suicide and hates what Yang has done, so she should praise Prince Zhou." He said.

Princess Jinyu frowned slightly as she thought about what Li Yu asked her to say in front of the emperor before: "Your Majesty misses Yang Yuan so much now, but I keep saying bad things about the Yang family and her. Will it make Your Majesty annoyed? Why don't I talk to Your Majesty today?" Let’s cry together, Queen.”

Li Yu shook his head hastily: "No, aunt, you are scolding the queen's family because you care for your majesty. This is the style of an eldest sister. Your majesty will be happy and get closer to you, and..." He said with a smile, "Aunt, you and the Your Majesty also knows the relationship between the queen and the queen. "

What is her relationship with the queen? Of course she wishes she didn't have this queen. Princess Jinyu thought to herself that Yang Yuan died and the Yang family was defeated. She was very happy.

"So, Your Majesty doesn't believe that you miss her, but he will think that you are pretending to be insincere in front of him and that you are in love with the princess." Li Yu said, raising his eyebrows again, "Besides, my aunt is a princess, so there is no need to hide her temperament. You don’t need to look at other people’s faces to express your emotions, this is the dignity of Princess Zhou, and it will be more convincing to your majesty.”

It was true that she, a princess, had lived a wanton life since she was born, until Jiang Mian'er's foxy charm confused the late emperor. In order to save her life, she had to humble herself and beg for mercy. Now that Jiang Mian'er is dead, she will never live that kind of life again.

Princess Jinyu sat upright on the shoulder carriage.

"Then let you, the junior, fulfill your filial piety for the elders, in order to show the sincerity of our Li family." She said, with a smile on her face, and glanced at Li Yu, "Today I will ask His Majesty to give you a title, and a prince will give her a title. The wake is enough."

Li Yu looked happy and bowed deeply to salute: "Thank you, aunt." Then he stood up and put his head on his shoulders, "I feel relieved to have my aunt here."

This boy must be uneasy now. Princess Jinyu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She didn't expect that Bai Ying would really give birth to a prince, and Jiangshan Sheji would have nothing to do with the former emperor's eldest grandson.

She knew that Li Yu would definitely not be willing to accept it. It was he who should be in charge of this world.

Although she felt a little regretful, the situation at this time was more favorable to her.

Previously, Li Yu had not been able to blackmail Li Yu with the accusation of the former prince. Now that the prince's presence is better, Li Yu can only rely on her more cautiously. Otherwise, let alone the hope of ruling the world, his life will be in danger.

When she supports him to become the prince in the future, wouldn't she be comparable to the emperor?

Son of Heaven.

Empress Chiang's arrogance attracted public anger because she wanted to be emperor.

But she is different. She is the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She supports the children and grandchildren of the Li family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is reasonable and reasonable for her to have power similar to that of the emperor.

Thinking of that moment, Princess Jinyu felt hot all over, and she had to take a few breaths to calm down.

"Don't worry." She smiled and patted the head of the young man on the armrest. Li Yu felt Princess Jinyu's hand brushing her hair, tilted her head slightly, and looked towards the palace gate. Zhou Jingyun had already walked away.

In fact, he was also curious about what Zhou Jingyun and Zhang Ze were talking about? Looks like he's smiling happily.

Isn't Zhang Ze detrimental to Bai Li?

After today's work is finished, I need to take the time to see Bai Li and tell her.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't believe Zhou Jingyun, he just told Bai Li what he saw, giving her an extra pair of eyes, nothing more.

…

…

March has entered, and the weather seems to be getting warmer all of a sudden.

Sitting indoors with the windows open, the wind blowing in is gentle and soft.

"I'm relieved to see you look good." Mrs. Xue sat by the window, looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou's face, and said with a sigh of relief, "I'm really afraid that you'll be in bad health. In that case, I don't know what you know under Ali Spring." Peace of mind.”

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted: "Don't worry, I won't do it. I have to build up enough strength..."

She stopped here. Although Zhou Jingyun told her the truth, she didn't have the shame to tell her sister.

Shame on you.

Mrs. Xue likes A Li more than she does. If she knows A Li’s identity and knows that Zhou Jingyun killed her...

Mrs. Dongyang Hou's heart was up and down violently. Will Mrs. Xue faint on the spot?

Sensing that her breathing was unstable, Mrs. Xue stood up and patted her: "Okay, okay, let's not mention this. Don't think about it anymore."

As he spoke, he quickly changed the subject.

"Where is Jingyun? Today is the third day of the third month of the lunar month. I specially chose to come here today. Why doesn't he come to see me?"

In the past, when he heard her coming in and walked to the second door, Zhou Jingyun followed her from the outer courtyard.

I sat down at Mrs. Dongyang Hou's place today, but I haven't seen him yet.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Dongyang Hou's originally calm chest rose and fell again, and she snorted heavily.

how? Mother and son had a quarrel? Mrs. Xue was puzzled.

Mother Xu, who was standing by, said apologetically: "The prince went out early in the morning. What a coincidence, he didn't know you were coming."

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "It's good to go out. I'm really afraid that he will be bored at home."

"Then you don't have to worry." Mrs. Dongyang Hou sneered, "He is away from home every day now."

This is an exaggeration. Jing Yun has never been that kind of person since he was a child. He is not like other powerful children who go out and mess around every day.

Maybe it was because of A Li's accident that both mother and son were unhappy.

Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "I'm here today, so I have to wait for him to see if that's the case." Then she said to Xu's mother, "Get ready. I'll go back after dinner."

But what is surprising is that when the evening drum sounded, Zhou Jingyun did not come back.

"Go and ask, the prince can leave us a message, where are you busy?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou said angrily.

Xu's mother had asked about it a long time ago and went out to ask again. This time Feng'er ran back panting.

"That's right, that's right." He said, "Madam, madam, the prince is with Shiro this afternoon."

Xue Silang? Mrs. Xue was surprised, how could Zhou Jingyun be with this dude?

"Shiro must be pestering him." She said to Mrs. Dongyang Hou.

…..

…..

With the dusk drums, the night begins, and in front of a unique pier on the Jinshui River outside the city, there are a large number of cars and horses.

In the night, the lights of the building boats on the riverside are lit up. Under the lanterns, the railings dotted with pearls and gems shine brightly.

Zhou Jingyun raised the curtain and looked at the building boat in front of him. When he saw people starting to board the boat, he was about to get off the car, but the next moment he was held tightly by someone again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xue Silang hugged his arm with a frightened expression on his face, "Do you really want to go to a place like this with me?"

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "What's wrong with this? It's already here."

Xue Silang held his arm and refused to let go: "Have you thought about it? This is not a good place. Your young master is not allowed to eat, drink, **** or gamble!"

Dongyang Hou Mansion has always had this motto, and the other disciples were forced to forget it. Zhou Jingyun, this immortal-like young master, has no dust in his eyes and has never been interested in this kind of place.

There was a time when a young man from a powerful family deliberately lured him to a place like this to have fun, but the young man Zhou Jingyun just smiled faintly, "A pink skull is a place of filth, boring."

What's going on? You are almost thirty now, are you interested?

This afternoon, he was approached by Zhou Jingyun and told that he was going to visit the Hualou Ship. Xue Silang thought he had heard wrongly because he had drunk too much.

After the Queen's burial, although marriages have not yet been allowed, Hualou Chuan resumed business today.

The news was sent temporarily, and Xue Silang didn't even know it.

Hualou Chuan does not entertain guests casually, and has fixed candidates. Of course, newcomers can also go, but they need to be introduced to verify their identity. Of course, Zhou Jingyun can pass it, but it only takes two or three days, so he asked Xue Silang Bring in regular customers.

But why would Zhou Jingyun go to such a place?

Xue Silang thought he was joking or sarcastic, so he repeatedly swore not to go and to go home after dark.

But Zhou Jingyun didn't allow him to go home. When the dusk drum sounded, he took him to lead the way.

Xue Silang had sobered up and arrived in front of the building, finally believing that he was not hallucinating.

It was Zhou Jingyun who really wanted to go to Lou Chuan.

It's terrible.

Is Zhou Jingyun about to fall? Sad about losing your wife?

Xue Silang was thinking wildly.

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "Don't worry, I'm just here to take a look. I don't eat, drink or gamble." After saying that, he shook off Xue Silang and said, "Let's go quickly."

Xue Silang reached out and grabbed him again, with a bit of determination.

"It's okay to go." He said, taking out a power fence from the car, "Wear this to cover your face, so as not to scare the people on the boat."
