Supreme Return

Chapter 359 Zhou Ming and Bi Rui (1)

The next morning, after having breakfast together, Chu Xuan and Zhou Ming walked towards the palace together.

As for Zhou Lan and the girls, they personally accompanied Zhou Wu to wander around the nearby streets. On the one hand, they really wanted to find out if there were any suitable places to open a shop. The environment of the imperial capital, after all, from now on, he can be regarded as officially living here.

As for Chu Xiaotian, he continued to be busy with his official duties. Apart from Zheng Xiao who followed him almost all the time like a bodyguard, there was also Mo'er who was actually a Mo Qilin.

Looking at the towering and majestic palace in front of him, Zhou Ming couldn't help sighing, "Although it's the second time I've come here, it has shocked me far more than the first time! It's indeed the place where our Majesty lives!"

"Ha ha……"

After hearing this, Chu Xuan just smiled softly and didn't say much.

The imperial palace is an existence that is beyond reach for many people...

But for Chu Xuan, it is no different from home.

He can come in and out as he pleases at any time, which is a treatment that even the first-rank officials of the dynasty never have!

"Sir!"

The guards in front of the palace gate naturally knew Chu Xuan, and when they saw Chu Xuan bringing Zhou Ming over, they immediately bowed and saluted.

"Ok!"

Chu Xuan nodded, pointed to Zhou Ming and said, "He is my brother-in-law, is it okay to bring him in?"

"Your Majesty is joking!"

A guard immediately said respectfully, "Your Majesty has already ordered that as long as you bring the people here, you can go in directly without any inspection!"

"Well! Thank you! You have worked hard!"

Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, and walked through the palace gate with a surprised and shocked Zhou Ming, officially entering the palace.

It was the first time Zhou Ming heard that Chu Xuan had such a privilege, and it was unbelievable.

Isn't His Majesty afraid that Chu Xuan would bring assassins into the palace, which would be bad for him?

This idea was fleeting, and even Zhou Ming himself couldn't help but feel a little funny. He shook his head secretly and stopped thinking about it. He followed Chu Xuan's footsteps closely, and met many guards or maids along the way, but one None of them came to question him, and even many of them who knew Chu Xuan stopped and bowed from a distance. Their attitudes were not too respectful...

"My lord, where are we going now?" After walking for a while, Zhou Ming felt a little lost, so he couldn't help asking.

"Well... I don't know either!"

Chu Xuan smiled wryly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Counting the time now, it should be morning! It shouldn't be very possible to take you to see your uncle, um... so, let's go directly to the harem!"

"What? To the harem?"

Zhou Ming's eyes widened when he heard this.

You know, the harem has strict rules. Foreign ministers are absolutely not allowed to enter without being summoned. Otherwise, no matter what the reason is, they will definitely be severely punished, and even lose their lives because of it...

"how?"

Chu Xuan glanced at Zhou Ming suspiciously, and said, "You don't want to go?"

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Chu Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you are worried about! But it doesn't matter, what are you afraid of if I take you with you? Put your heart in your stomach, and nothing will happen!"

"Uh... well!"

Zhou Ming took a deep breath and straightened his chest, as if to cheer himself up.

"That's right!"

When Chu Xuan saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you will be able to meet the lover of your dreams in a while! At that time, everything will be up to you! Be good, and try to find a sister-in-law for me and Lan'er as soon as possible." !"

"..."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Zhou Ming blushed immediately, but his eyes became more determined.

"Birui, I'm here to find you!"

Zhou Ming said so in his heart, and then continued to follow behind Chu Xuan, walking slowly towards the harem.

…………

"I have seen the world!"

In the harem, the maids all saluted when they saw Chu Xuan's arrival.

"Ok!"

Chu Xuan nodded and asked, "Where is your empress now?"

"If you come back to the son, the empress has just had breakfast, and now she should be taking a nap in the listening garden!" The maid immediately replied.

"Listen to Yuyuan, right? Okay, I got it! Go ahead, I'll just go there!" Chu Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes! The servant girl will leave!"

The maids saluted again and left, Chu Xuan found the right direction and continued to lead Zhou Ming towards Ting Yuyuan.

After walking around for about 15 minutes, I came to the gate of Tingyu Garden.

"Sir..."

The guard bowed, and when he was about to say something, Chu Xuan waved his hands and said, "Okay, is the empress inside?"

"Yes! Excuse me, my son, do you need a villain to go in and report?"

"No need, let's go in by ourselves!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, please!"

"Ok!"

After a brief conversation, Chu Xuan and Zhou Ming walked into the listening garden.

This place can actually be said to be a small imperial garden, but in comparison, it is more loved by the empress. She would like to come here to sit when she has nothing to do on weekdays, and the most important thing is that it is very quiet. Outsiders are not allowed to enter unless there are special circumstances.

Chu Xuan is naturally not an outsider!

At this moment, Feng Xiu was resting on a soft couch in a very elegant pavilion in Ting Yu Garden, and there were four serving maids beside her.

Seeing Chu Xuan approaching from a distance, one of the maids immediately bowed and said in a low voice, "Mother, the prince is here!"

Hearing this, Feng Xiu slowly opened her eyes, then sat up a little bit, and looked towards Chu Xuan and Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming, she met him once.

But the impression was not very deep.

"Auntie, I'm here to see you!"

Chu Xuan led Zhou Ming into the pavilion, grinning.

"Zhou Jiazhuang Zhou Ming, I have met the empress!" Zhou Ming was not as relaxed as Chu Xuan, and immediately bowed in a very respectful manner.

"Oh... I remembered, you are the son of Zhou Wu!" Feng Xiu said.

"Young lady has a good memory! Zhou Ming's father is Zhou Wu!" Zhou Ming replied respectfully.

"Sit down and talk!"

Feng Xiu waved her hand to signal, Zhou Ming thanked him a lot, and then carefully sat down on the side, with only half of his buttocks seated, showing respect.

"..."

Chu Xuan watched from the side with black lines all over his head, he was speechless to the extreme.

"Auntie, I'm such a big person, why didn't you see it?" Chu Xuan pouted.

"Stinky boy, do you still know to come to see me? You didn't say anything, there must be something wrong? Otherwise, why would you come to see me so kindly?" Feng Xiu said with a snort.

"Also, if you want to sit, do you know how to sit yourself? Could it be that you want your aunt to invite you to sit down?" Feng Xiu continued.

"hey-hey……"

Chu Xuan grinned, sat down straight away, and by the way, raised his legs, picked up the fruit next to him, and gnawed on himself.

In that way, he regarded this place as his own home, and the four maids couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

"Stinky boy, whether you eat or not, sit or not..."

Feng Xiu also cursed with a smile, but there was no blame in the words, but full of pampering.

I am afraid that Chu Xuan is the only one who can do this.

"Tell me, what is it that can make you, the prince of Chu, come to see me in person without hesitation?"

Feng Xiu asked.

"Cough cough..."

Chu Xuan coughed a few times, hurriedly ate the fruit in his hand, and then said with a smile, "Auntie, look at what you said, can't I just come here to see you and uncle?"

"Speak or not?"

Feng Xiu was unmoved in the slightest, and continued to look at Chu Xuan with a smile, her eyes had the meaning of 'if you don't say anything, I'll just leave'.

"have to……"

Chu Xuan shrugged, and said, "Okay, okay, I say it's not enough? I know that you are the smartest and most understanding person in the world, how can I hide it from your eyes?"

"Don't flatter me! If you want to say it, just say it, if you don't say it, leave me immediately, I want to continue squinting for a while!" Feng Xiu said angrily.

"That's it, that's it..."

Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing and crying, then glanced at the four maids, waved his hands and said, "You all go down first!"

"Stinky boy, you are so brave, you dare to order people around me?" The four maids hesitated, but Feng Xiu laughed and scolded directly.

"Don't dare, how dare I have that kind of courage?" Chu Xuan bowed again and again and said with a smile.

"You..."

Feng Xiu really couldn't laugh or cry to Chu Xuan, but in the end she waved her hand to signal the four maids to leave, then turned to look at Chu Xuan, and said, "Boy, can we talk now? If you dare to tell me something trivial Things, watch me let someone beat your ass!"

"This is a big deal..."

Chu Xuan said seriously, "Auntie, maybe Uncle has told you already? Is there a sixth-rank female official named Birui beside you?"

"So what?"

Feng Xiu glanced at Chu Xuan, "Stinky boy, you must have fallen in love with her, right? Let me tell you, Birui is a good girl, so don't go and bring trouble on her! Otherwise, I will forgive you. Not you kid!"

"Oh, auntie, what are you talking about?"

Chu Xuan's head was full of black lines, he glanced at Zhou Ming who was sitting beside him, and said, "How dare I have that kind of thought? Isn't it? I just want to ask you for a favor!"

"Looking for my help?" Feng Xiu was startled when she heard the words, "What are you doing?"

"Then what, ask Auntie, I remember that the maids in the palace, even if they are female officials, after a certain age, you and uncle will marry you, right?" Chu Xuan didn't rush to answer, but asked again.

"Not bad!"

Feng Xiu glanced at Chu Xuan strangely, and said, "You brat, don't you want me to marry Bi Rui? That's not possible. I can use that girl very easily. Without her, I will There are a lot of troubles here!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Feng Xiu's words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but froze, and Zhou Ming couldn't help showing a deep disappointment in his eyes.
