After I was reborn, I became the white moonlight of the destitute son

Chapter 35
Palace, Palace of Diligence.

Outside the imperial study room, Zhou Xining waited respectfully outside with lowered eyebrows, waiting for the summons from inside.She thought that since the emperor uploaded her face saint, she would not have to wait for a long time, but it took more than two quarters of an hour for her to stop.

And the internal officer who entered the internal communication didn't even look at her when he came out, and just stood aside.

Zhou Xining pursed his lips tighter and tighter, heh, is this planning to give her a standing punishment without even asking?If you are punished, you will be punished. Who is afraid of whom?If only He Beiting was here, looking at his face, I wouldn't be afraid even if I stood there for a day.It's a pity that there is no decree in the palace, so he can only send her to the gate of the palace.

It's really difficult for her to stand here alone.

More than a quarter of an hour later, just as Zhou Xining was about to make a move, the door of the imperial study opened from the inside, and an older internal official walked out, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Miss Xuan Zhou is coming in to see you." .”

Zhou Xining leaned slightly to greet him, and then walked in with his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, his steps were not hurried or slow, and his face was calm.

"My daughter Zhou Xining kowtows to the emperor, long live, long live." Once inside, Zhou Xining paid respects, bowed and knelt, quickly glanced at the situation in the room from the corner of his eye.

The emperor sat upright, with a deep expression on his face; the second prince stood on the left side, his eyes full of evil; the grandfather sat on the right side with a calm expression, and did not notice the hidden guard.

"Zhou Shining, tell me about Longyuan Temple." The emperor didn't call out, but asked directly.

Zhou Sihai lowered his eyebrows, and replied in a warm voice: "Going back to the emperor, my daughter has only been to the back mountain of Longyuan Temple. Apart from the deep forest and lush grass, the back mountain is rough and difficult to walk, I have no other impression of my daughter."

Master Zhou's beard twitched, and he lowered his eyes to hide the smile that was gushing out of his eyes.Well, that's right, if you ask Longyuan Temple, then answer Longyuan Temple.It's a good thing for Ning girl to react quickly, but it's not a good thing if she attracts the emperor's attention more and more. Fortunately, the kid from the He family sent a marriage letter to the mansion a few days ago, otherwise it would be difficult to evade this time.

The emperor glanced at Zhou Xining indifferently, his reaction was really astute, if you were told to talk about Longyuan Temple, you really said you went to Longyuan Temple.Well, I didn't hide the fact that I went to the back mountain at all, but I didn't say anything.

The emperor: "Then tell me why you went to the back mountain."

Zhou Shining: "Going back to the emperor, I was invited by the minister's daughter's second sister."

Well, it is another big truth, but it is equivalent to saying nothing.

The emperor glanced at Old Master Zhou, and said with a smile, "Old Master, your granddaughter is very interesting."

Old Emperor Zhou: "The emperor's praise! This girl grew up in the old capital, and was spoiled by her elder grandmother and got some habits that she shouldn't have. The old minister is thinking about how to correct it."

After hearing what his grandfather said, Zhou Xining pursed his lips tightly.The feeling was that the grandfather went to the palace to file a complaint, and the second prince not only denied it, but also grabbed her dirty.And the emperor also brought himself into the palace because his grandfather sued his son.

Well, suddenly want to upend the imperial power, what should I do?
The emperor's eyebrows twitched, so I simply came to fix it for you.

"Spring outing, palace banquet, one after another, you and my second prince are already entangled. You accidentally slipped and fell behind in the back mountain of Longyuan Temple, and you were alone in the forest with my second prince. After waiting for a long time, Zhou Xining, tell me yourself, how should I deal with you?"

No wonder when he came here, He Beiting mentioned Qingyu, because it was expected that Chu Yuming would use Houshan as a demon.It's just that he just entered the court, and the emperor asked him to go to the military selection department, so it's better to hide the marriage contract at this time.

Zhou Xining pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then kowtowed and said:
"Your Majesty clearly sees that when the courtiers and everyone went on a spring outing together, His Royal Highness the Second Prince just passed by on horseback and did not stop there. The courtiers and everyone also paid respects to the etiquette at a distance, and there was nothing pretentious about it. The Emperor may have summoned Miss Zhang, Miss Wang, and Miss Xie...just ask and you will find out."

The emperor's eyes darkened, if he really summoned these boudoir ladies in a fit of anger, the censors would have another job to do tomorrow morning.

Zhou Sining didn't care what the emperor was thinking, and continued to say:
"As for the accidental falling into the water on the day of the palace banquet, when my daughter left the water and came ashore, she was indeed helped by the Second Prince's Highness. At that time, my daughter didn't know which Prince's Highness was the one who gave her kindness. Only when she arrived at the Hall of Zhenghe did she find out that it was the Second Prince. Your Highness, but the courtier had already explained the situation in public and solemnly thanked His Highness the Second Prince. This incident was personally witnessed by the Empress and all the people present at the banquet."

Well, I have experienced it myself.The emperor glanced at Zhou Xining unkindly.

"In Longyuan Temple, His Royal Highness the Second Prince only entered the temple when his daughter's grandfather and uncle arrived, and my daughter only followed the crowd to salute. Besides, my daughter and His Highness the Second Prince have never met before. Therefore, my daughter Dare not brazenly exalt the favor of the royal family."

emperor:……

This is not dare to climb high, this is clearly scolding my son face to face for being shameless.

The emperor cast a cold glance at the second prince, and his eyes said, look, the affection and kindness that comes out of your mouth is full of shamelessness in this little girl's mouth.

"Well, but my second prince said that Miss Zhou was in danger in the back mountain, in order to save Miss Zhou back to the temple, he personally took all the people around him to stay in the back mountain for most of the day.

But listening to you now, it seems that there is no such thing, so tell me and see who is telling the truth? "

Zhou Xining: ...

Sure enough, shamelessness is hereditary.Knowing what his son has done, he is still pretending to be ignorant here.

Zhou Shining: "Your majesty clearly sees that it's not a case of danger. It's just that when the servant girl took the maidservant to the back mountain, she accidentally slipped down the forest and lost her way. But later, when the servant girl was looking for the way to go out, she ran into the forest looking for the servant girl. The maidservant of the Zhou family, after that, the subject went back to the temple with grandfather and second uncle, and during this period, the subject never saw His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Miss Zhou, you should be careful with your words, don't deceive the king." The corners of the second prince's lips curled up in color, even if what you said was true, you still couldn't prove what you said was true.

Zhou Xining glanced at the Second Prince out of the corner of his eyes, snorted inwardly, then turned slightly to the direction of the Second Prince and said, "May I ask, Your Highness, the Second Prince, you said that you have been with your courtiers all the time in the back mountain forest?"

Second Prince: "Yes."

Zhou Shining: "May I ask His Highness the Second Prince, who is the witness?"

The second prince's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "What my Highness said is the truth, why do I need witnesses?"

Zhou Shining was turning around, knocking and said: "The emperor said, the ministers were taught by the emperor and the eldest princess of the dynasty, and they dare not be false in what they say, so... there is no need for witnesses."

Second prince: ...

You are learning too fast.

emperor:……

It sounds reasonable.

Old Master Zhou: "Your Majesty, if there are witnesses, it is not without evidence."

"Oh? Let me hear what the old master said, who is it?" After getting the steps handed out by the old master, the emperor put a smile on his face, the old master is sometimes good.

"It's the guard who captured the black-clothed villain."

emperor:……
