Chapter 37 Refreshments
cough cough...

Master Zhou coughed twice to break the embarrassing atmosphere in the imperial study, and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister suddenly feels unwell, please allow this old minister to leave first. Ning girl, come here to help grandfather, this waist and leg will not listen to you!" I don't listen to orders, alas, old man, old man..."

Where does the emperor not understand, the old master is chilling.

The person who captured the murderer in the dark night filed a complaint before the court, but he was forced to death on the spot, and there was no proof of death.

The granddaughter fell down the back mountain, and was trapped in the forest for a long time with unknown life and death. She finally escaped with injuries, but she was stigmatized because of the rumors.

If someone dared to do this to his daughter, it would be considered light if he didn't chop the beast on the spot.But now his own son has made this beast, what can he do, this is his son.

I can only wrong the old master to be sad for a while, and then make up for the Zhou family when I have a chance in the future.As for Zhou Shining...

That brat Lao Qi doesn't seem to be very interested in her, so let's wait and see in a few days.As for the rumors floating outside, whoever makes them will clear them up.

The emperor glanced at the old teacher, and after paying attention to the old teacher's body, he silently signaled the old teacher to please.

At this time, Zhou Xining supported himself slowly with his hands on the ground, and after a little movement, he went to help the old master's arm and was about to walk out.

The second prince became anxious when he saw it, "Royal father, did the old master leave just like that?"

"Yeah, how could the old master leave just like that..." the emperor said expressionlessly.

The second prince was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Father, I am not afraid of rumors, but those rumors hurt Miss Zhou too much. I still want to ask my father to marry me, I only hope that the status of the future prince and concubine It can make everyone treat Ms. Zhou kindly..."

Before the second prince finished speaking, he was frightened by the eyes cast by the emperor. The eyes were too cold, and there was a trace of murderous intent in the cold eyes.

Murder...

Murder!
Father is trying to dispose of him?But as soon as the father came up, he helped him to force the hidden guard to death, and there was no proof.It was also because of this that the matter gradually turned in his favor. Although the rumor was somewhat harmful to the royal family's reputation, since the emperor had protected the whole matter from beginning to end, why did he suddenly want to deal with him?
That's right, it was because he asked Zhou Xining to marry him again, and his father had murderous intent in his eyes.From the very beginning, the father wanted to leave the Zhou family to the seventh brother, so why would he point out Zhou Xining to him.He always thought that his father's eccentricity would have a degree, but now it seems that it is not.Talking about fair competition, you can't even talk about fairness if you are biased.

"Father, son..." Feeling the overwhelming power, the second prince shuddered cleverly, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"The second prince, Chu Yuming, has nothing to do with the imperial court, and he was fined and confiscated half a year's silver, and he was confined to face the wall in the mansion for self-examination."

The emperor raised his eyes to the grandparents of the Zhou family who continued to walk outside without even stopping in their footsteps, and looked at the old emperor's back that was no longer straight and the white hair at the sideburns, and felt apologetic in his heart.

His enlightenment teacher, his teacher, is really old.

Turning around, he told the servant beside him: "Sun Li, arrange a soft sedan chair to take the old emperor out of the palace, and pack some tea for this year's new tribute. Well, my teacher likes Longjing, so pack more."

Hearing this long-lost teacher, the steps of the old master paused.

Zhou Xining acted as if he hadn't felt the strangeness of his grandfather before, he opened the door quickly and said, "Grandfather, raise your feet up, we're about to pass the threshold."

Well, yes, the threshold of the royal family is high, and it is easy to stumble, so you have to be careful with your steps.

Master Zhou patted Zhou Xining's hand on his arm, "Well, it's Ning girl who is caring."

The grandfather and grandson had just walked out of the imperial study room, and Sun Li, who had received the order, quickly rushed up from behind, and when he got close, he smiled and said: "Please move to the side hall for a while, my majesty." Instruct the old slave to pass on the soft sedan chair to the old emperor."

Master Zhou turned around and bowed to the imperial study room to thank him.

Sun Li said again: "The emperor always remembers that the old master loves tea. As soon as the new tea of ​​this year arrives, he ordered the old slave to leave a copy of every kind of tea for the old master. The emperor knows that you always prefer Longjing, so he specially Instruct the old slave to keep two more copies. Except for the emperor's use, the old slave picked the best ones for you to keep."

Don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention that the one in front of you who came here to sell is the imperial servant, although his words and deeds do not represent the emperor, but sometimes his words and deeds show the emperor's attitude.

The servants in Xuanguo are divided into three classes. Those who have just entered the palace and do odd jobs in the palace are called servants. Those who can speak well in each palace are called internal officials.

Master Zhou bowed his hands in thanks with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Inner Supervisor."

"Oh, the old master is going to kill this old slave." Sun Li turned sideways quickly, he didn't dare to be the old master.

Sun Li glanced at Zhou Xining and said, "Old Master, I remember that your granddaughter is a senior in the mansion, right?"

"Yes." Master Zhou patted Zhou Xining's hand and said, "I have many grandchildren, but I only got such a lovely granddaughter. During those years when she was in the old capital, I went there twice a year. When I received her letter of return to Beijing, the old man was happy for more than half a month."

Sun Li nodded secretly. There was a period of time years ago, the old master did indeed have a three-point smile on his face wherever he went. After careful calculation, it was really the month before Miss Zhou returned to Beijing.

"The horses startled during the spring outing, the palace banquet fell into the water, and the mountain temple fell. How can I know what will happen next time. If the old man knows that she will suffer so much, the old man would rather continue to go back and forth to the old capital every year than let her come back."

Sun Li was secretly annoyed that he couldn't find the topic well, why did the old master come up here while talking, he couldn't answer these words.

But at this moment, a small servant came forward with a multi-layered food box, bowed his head and said: "Master Internal Warden, the cakes you ordered from the Imperial Dining Room have been delivered, and they are still warm."

It was the right time, Sun Lichong slightly nodded his head to the servant and said, "Follow me."

Then he smiled and said: "It's all new tricks in the imperial dining room. The emperor ordered it early in the morning, saying that girls like all kinds of pastries, so I'll bring them back to Miss Zhou to try something new."

Zhou Xining thanked him without saying a word, his lowered eyebrows were full of disdain.First he made her stand outside the door for half an hour for no reason, then made her kneel inside for nearly an hour, and finally dismissed her with a few pieces of snacks.Well, does she, Zhou Xining, lack these snacks in her life?

Sensing Zhou Xining's indifferent attitude, Sun Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.Why did he think that Miss Zhou's family would be easier to talk to?Ms. Zhou who was in the imperial study room just now poked people's heart with every word. Well, he can't afford to offend either of these grandparents and grandchildren.
