Chapter 296 Stability

"Peace and peace."

Zhou Jiuniang squeezed to the front and threw a flower on Zhou Jingyun.

"Brother Shizi, these are the flowers in front of the Buddha that we invited from Dajue Temple."

Zhou Jingyun reached out to catch the flowers that fell from his body, and thanked him with a smile: "It's safe and sound."

Back at the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, there was still a ceremony waiting for him. Zhou Jingyun was not impatient and watched the family members with a smile.

They say they are praying for him, but why are they not praying for themselves? There is both glory and loss. During these days, everyone is locked in a cell, anxiously waiting for the verdict.

Fortunately, everything is safe.

"I really don't know what to do when I come back." Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at Zhou Jingyun who was surrounded by everyone and complained angrily, "I have been safe and sound outside for eight or nine years."

How could she see her son who survived the catastrophe with such an attitude? Mother Xu scolded: "Madam."

Isn't it time to hold the prince and cry?

Why has Madam's heart hardened?

Mrs. Dongyang Hou didn’t know what was going on. She was unhappy every day, and she seemed to cry every night when she remembered Zhou Jingyun was in jail. Now looking at Zhou Jingyun, she felt really sad, but also inexplicably annoyed, as if there was something sad and annoying. The annoying things were forgotten.

She became angrier.

"Come back and get married." Zhou Jiuniang shouted from the side.

The wet nurse was busy trying to stop her from talking nonsense.

Zhou Jiuniang herself was a little confused after she finished speaking. She seemed to be thinking about something but couldn't figure it out, so she muttered at the end.

"Brother Crown Prince should get married and have a wedding. I want to receive the gift."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou did not scold her, thinking that this was actually her intention, but...

"It's bad luck to have such a quarrel with the Lu family." She said, "The bad luck brought about today's bad luck, because the Lu family, Zhang Ze, and the ladies in the palace are involved."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

"You'd better not be in the capital anymore and go out."

Zhou Jingyun said with a smile: "My mother and I want to get together."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glanced at him.

"I originally wanted to come back and try something else," Zhou Jingyun said, "so I chose the household department, but after doing it, I felt that I was more suitable to be a school supervisor."

After saying that, he bowed and bowed.

"So when I came out of the cell, I also submitted a request to His Majesty for release."

The room was quiet for a moment, and Zhou Jiuniang felt a little regretful, "Brother Crown Prince is leaving again."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at Zhou Jingyun for a moment. In fact, it stands to reason that she was angry when she told Zhou Jingyun to leave. Now when she heard that Zhou Jingyun was really going to leave, she should be angry, but she was inexplicably not angry, only sad.

She sighed.

"I gave birth to you, but you have grown up. Just make your own decisions."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We have been waiting for a long time. Let's eat."

Following her call, the maids hurriedly signaled to the outside world. The maids who had been waiting for a long time brought the dishes and wine in, and the hall was filled with laughter and laughter.

Zhou Jingyun was sitting there, chatting and joking with his family, but from time to time his eyes swept across the hall.

Zhou Jiuniang noticed his action.

"Who is Brother Prince looking for?" She also looked around.

Zhou Jingyun said with a smile: "No, I just wanted to see if all my family members were here."

Zhou Jiuniang said: "Brother, the prince, is looking for his father. My father is not coming back. He said that the chrysanthemums in the other courtyard are about to bloom and we can't leave. Just let us go to the other courtyard to meet him."

"Father?" Zhou Jingyun smiled and nodded, his eyes still scanning the hall.

But I always feel that one person is missing.

"Who is missing?" Zhou Jiuniang stood up and looked carefully, "Except for those outside, everyone at home is here."

Zhou Jiuniang's movements also attracted everyone to look over and laugh.

"What's wrong?"

"What are you looking for?"

Questions rang out in the hall.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou next to her frowned and looked at him.

Zhou Jingyun hurriedly stood up with the wine glass in hand: "I want to toast everyone a glass of wine to apologize for shocking everyone." After saying this, he leaned over and bowed, then stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.

Everyone in the hall laughed and raised their glasses to drink together, and the excitement was restored.

Zhou Jingyun didn't look around anymore, he was eating the food and wine in front of him seriously and joking with the people around him.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked away from him, holding the wine glass, and couldn't help but look around. She heard what Zhou Jiuniang and Zhou Jingyun said just now. In fact,

She also felt that someone was missing.

But it shouldn't be. Everyone at home is here, and there are only a few people who are not at home.

It's really baffling, maybe because I'm worried about Zhou Jingyun, I haven't slept well for a long time, and I'm in a trance.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou drank all the wine in her hand.

Now that the bad things have gone away and the future is stable, I can have a good sleep tonight and have a good dream.

Perhaps because he drank a few more glasses of wine, Zhou Jingyun was not sleepy.

He has always slept very well, no matter whether he is supervising the school outside or in the prison cell of the Supervisor's Court. Why can't he sleep well when he returns home?

Zhou Jingyun turned over on the bed and took out a book under the pillow.

He sat up and saw a volume of miscellaneous journals about monsters.

Since when did he like reading this kind of book? It was also placed on the bed, obviously to be read before going to bed.

And it’s the next volume.

So he has finished reading the first volume?

Why don't you have any impression at all?

Zhou Jingyun looked at the book in his hand and saw a figure outside from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously raised his head and opened his mouth, "."

There seemed to be a name that he wanted to blurt out, but his mind was empty and he couldn't say it.

"you-"

He finally came up with this word and looked outside. The night lights were dim, the autumn wind was swaying, the shadows of the trees were cast on the windows, and there was no one.

A gentle voice of inquiry sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty? Do you need anything?"

Maid Chunyue, Zhou Jingyun thought to himself, this name came out without any trouble, which shows that his mind is still normal.

"It's okay, you can go down." He said.

The maid outside the door responded and stepped away with small steps. Soon, in the night, the low voices of the maids could be heard laughing.

"Sister Chunyue, wouldn't it be good to stay in the palace?"

"Is there still a need for night watch in the palace?"

"That maid, not the queen, has a good temper?"

Yes, King Chu's maid and daughter had all been fostered in his home before. That woman was also married from the Dongyang Hou Mansion, and Chunyue served this woman.

Now she has been canonized as queen.

This also represents the unusual friendship between the new emperor and Zhou Jingyun, so even if Zhou Jingyun has been locked in the cell, no one feels that his life is in danger.

The sound of the spring moon drifted through the cracks in the window with the autumn wind.

".a very good man."

"But don't talk about it, it's the queen."

The laughter of the maids dissipated, and the night returned to peace. Zhou Jingyun was slightly lost in thought while holding the book in his hand. The next moment, he turned on the night light, sat on the bedside, and turned a page.

". In the Tang Dynasty, Yu Qianxian County Lieutenant Wang established himself and selected his servants to live in Daningli. "". Walking home late, I occasionally walked with a beautiful woman. She followed her in front or behind her. Because of her sincerity and her words, they were in harmony with each other." (Note)

In the bright imperial study room, there are eyes looking at you from the front.

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and met the young emperor's gaze.

The young emperor's face was a little pale, and he was sitting on the back of his chair, seeming a little tired, but his eyes were bright.

The anxious children who once squatted outside the princess's mansion, as well as the young people who were frolicking and laughing on the flower house boats in the capital, have all disappeared.

His eyes were clear and his smile was shallow, somewhat friendly, but more elusive.

"Your Majesty, didn't you sleep well?" Li Yuhan asked with a smile, his eyes roaming on his face, "He looks bad."

Zhou Jingyun lowered his head and saluted ~ www.readwn.com ~ He looked over his head and did not sleep well, which made His Majesty laugh. "

Li Yu smiled: "Your Majesty is a scholar. He can't read to his heart's content in the cell. It's not surprising that he can enjoy reading in the sea at this time."

He did not continue this topic and looked at the memorial requesting for release on the desk.

"Do you want to continue to be a school supervisor?"

He said and asked with a smile.

"Or do you want to stay away from me?"

If the **** Shangguan Yue said this, it would sound like he just wanted someone to beat him up, but if the emperor said it...

It will make people afraid to sweat.

Zhou Jingyun raised his head, looked at Li Yu and smiled: "I originally wanted to go back to the court to do something different, but after trying it, I feel that I am more suitable to be a supervisor. The supervisor will not be far away from His Majesty. The choice of supervisor The students who come out will be His Majesty’s ministers in the future.”

Li Yu also smiled, lowered his head and flipped through the books on the other side: "I see what you have done in the past few years at the Outer Supervisor School. It is more about protecting the late emperor, or in other words, the selection of officials for the school issued by Empress Chiang Kai-shek. move."

Zhou Jingyun lowered his eyes: "Yes, I think that the policies implemented by Empress Chiang Kai-shek during the time are better able to select talented people."

Perhaps because Zhang Ze and others from the Board of Supervisors were investigated and punished, Zhou Jingyun did not shy away from mentioning Empress Chiang.

There was no sound from above, and the vast hall was quiet.

After what seemed like a long time and what seemed like only a moment, Li Yu's voice sounded.

"Okay." He said, "It doesn't matter when it is, as long as it's useful."

The sound of being thrown on the table was accompanied by a gentle sound.

"I'm sure, you go ahead."

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu lowered his head and did not look at him. He raised his head after noticing his gaze, looked at him, and smiled: "What? Your Majesty, you can't bear to part with me?"

It seemed that there were still some absurd words between him and King Chu before.

However, Zhou Jingyun did not expect to hear this ridicule from Li Yu.

At this moment, the person standing in front of me seemed to have become the **** again.

Zhou Jingyun smiled, leaned over and saluted: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Then he left.

Just as he stepped back, Li Yu called him to stop him.

"Your Majesty, before you leave, do you want to meet the Queen?"

Queen?

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and saw Li Yu leaning on the back of the chair, looking at him quietly, with a little inquiry, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.

The Queen had some connection with him, after all, she married from the Hou Mansion, but that was all.

"I sincerely wish that your Majesty and the Queen will continue to be in love as ever." Zhou Jingyun said, bowing again and facing the direction of the harem, "The Queen may live a thousand years longer."

Li Yu laughed. He leaned over and patted the table while laughing. He choked and coughed again. He pressed his chest and let out a few muffled groans.

Zhou Jingyun's face instantly turned pale when he saw him, and his lips lost all color.

this.

"Your Majesty?" He turned back and took a few steps forward.

Li Yu raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm fine." He said, pressing his chest with one hand and looking at Zhou Jingyun with a smile on his pale face, "You go."

Zhou Jingyun stared at him for a moment, then bowed and left without asking any more questions.

This time, Li Yu didn't call him again. He watched Zhou Jingyun's figure disappear, watched the silence in the hall, and watched the late autumn sunlight moving on the ground.

It seemed like a long time passed, and Li Yu, who was sitting on the chair like a stone sculpture, murmured.

"I'm the only one who remembers her."

"So pathetic."

He sat up straight and called for someone to come.

A waiter came in from outside and responded respectfully, watching Li Yu pull out a scroll from the table.

"Give this to Prince Dongyang."

Zhou Jingyun had already walked outside the imperial city and was about to take the reins from Jiang Yun when he looked at the chamberlain chasing after him from inside.

"Your Majesty's reward?" he said.

The chamberlain handed the scroll over: "Yes."

Zhou Jingyun first thanked him, then took the scroll with both hands and watched the chamberlain leave.

"I admired a painting." Jiang Yun said from the side, curious, "Let's see what famous painting it is?"

Zhou Jingyun smiled, and as he was told, he reached out and opened it. As the scroll unfolded, he first saw a bun with jewels on it, and then a woman's eyes like mountain spring water.

portrait?

woman?

Zhou Jingyun was a little surprised. He unfolded the scroll completely, and a young girl appeared in front of him.

The face is like a full moon, pretty and bright.

this.

Zhou Jingyun looked at the portrait, and as his eyes swept across it, it was like gurgling water passing through his heart.

"Who is this?"

Jiang Yun's voice asked in his ear.

"Does His Majesty ask you to help find someone?"

"This is..." Zhou Jingyun heard his own voice, "This is someone I know."

Jiang Yun was a little surprised: "Who?"

Zhou Jingyun raised his head, opened his mouth and then stopped, a trace of confusion flashed across his face: "I don't know."

Jiang Yun was stunned. Do you know him or not?

Zhou Jingyun lowered his head and looked at the portrait again. There seemed to be a mist lingering in his consciousness, and a figure was faintly revealed.

The figure was smiling at him, gradually merging with the person in the portrait.

Although there was confusion on his face, his eyes gradually became firm.

"I don't know, but"

He must know her.

And we know each other very well.

Because there is a voice in my heart shouting, find her.

Zhou Jingyun raised his head again and looked into the distance.

Go find her.

He rolled up the scroll and held it tightly in his hand.

Then go find her.
