The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 943 The Grand Finale (17)
On the Xiao family's side, Mrs. Tan and Xiao Mingqi were dumbfounded.A few days ago, he was still slandering Xiao Mingyu, accusing Xiao Mingzhen of not being a man and listening to Xiao Mingyu in everything.In a blink of an eye, King Ning became the prince, and Xiao Mingyu became the princess.Soon to be queen.This is a slap in the face, it slapped the faces of the two of them.

But the two of them are also very human, after a moment of embarrassment, they immediately smiled.Tell those who came to congratulate her that this is the Xiao family's blessing, they have long seen that Xiao Mingyu is a person of great fortune.As for the mess of the past, just pretend it never happened.

When Xiao Mingzhen came back from the yamen, Mrs. Tan grabbed Xiao Mingzhen and wanted to throw a feast to celebrate.Xiao Mingzhen immediately refused, "Mother, please calm down about this matter. There is a rule in the palace, no gifts can exceed 200 taels, no banquets, no treats. Now the emperor is still seriously ill, we have a big feast, mother Are you not afraid that your son will be impeached by the censor? Are you not afraid that people from the yamen will come to your door?"

Tan was a little unhappy, "I've heard that the emperor may not have much time. If there is no banquet at this time, once the emperor passes away, he will have to wait for a whole year."

Xiao Mingzhen glared, "Mother, mother should stop talking about beheadings. If mother doesn't care about her son's life or death, then mother can just talk about it." Xiao Mingzhen didn't want to be verbose with Tan, so he shook his sleeves and left.

Meeting Xiao Mingqi on the road, Xiao Mingzhen said to her: "How do you plan your own affairs? Couldn't that person do it?"

"Could it be that the third brother is tired of my younger sister. Don't you want my younger sister to live in her mother's house?" Xiao Mingqi asked back.

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "You should be very clear about what I mean. You can't live alone all your life. If you meet a good one, get married quickly. While you are young, you should have two more children. Don't you want children? ?"

Xiao Mingqi gritted his teeth, "You can marry if you want, and I will add another [-]% to the dowry."

Xiao Mingzhen looked at Xiao Mingqi in disbelief, and smiled again in the blink of an eye, "Okay, don't say [-]%, even [-]%, [-]%, I will give it to you as a brother. As long as you can marry a good family and have a good home , give birth to children earlier."

Xiao Mingqi was a little excited, but didn't know how to express his inner feelings, and watched Xiao Mingzhen go away helplessly.

Zhou Qian didn't come back, Xiao Mingyu missed him very much.He wrote a letter to Zhou Gan and asked someone to bring it to the palace.After Zhou Gan read the letter, he wrote another letter to Xiao Mingyu, reassuring Xiao Mingyu that everything is fine with him.Now that he has been established as the prince, it is time to set an example.Emperor Jingfu was in poor health, and Zhou Qian had to wait on Emperor Jingfu's bed every day.Moreover, there are many things backlogged in the court. Although there is a cabinet, Zhou Gan, the future emperor who is about to ascend the throne, also needs to be familiar with political affairs in advance.I can't go back to the palace for the time being, let Xiao Mingyu not blame her.

Xiao Mingyu smiled sweetly and put the letter away.Hearing the twin brothers next door crying, Xiao Mingyu lost all thoughts.Hurriedly went to the next door to visit the child.

Emperor Jingfu spent a lot of time every day, falling into lethargy.The time to wake up is getting less and less.

As Zhou Gan wrote in his letter, Zhou Gan would serve at Emperor Jingfu's bed every day.Looking at the old man lying on the bed, ignorant of human affairs, weak, thin and lifeless, Zhou Gan was filled with emotion.The person in Mingming's memory has broad shoulders, a tall and straight body, a voice like Hong Zhong, and courage and determination that others cannot match.For many years, Emperor Jingfu has always been a wise and mighty father in Zhou Gan's mind.But I don't know when it started, this image is slowly collapsing.So much so that today, Zhou Qian no longer has any fear or admiration for Emperor Jingfu.The only remaining feeling is sympathy, sympathy for such an old man, who died so unbearably, such painful.Will one day, when he gets old, he will make the same mistake as Emperor Jing Fu, and will die in pain in the end.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Qian felt a kind of fear in his heart.deep fear.He said to himself, can't do this, absolutely can't do this.He is different from Emperor Jing Fu, how could he be reduced to this point.That's right, Zhou Gan became more and more determined.It's just that there are still some small thoughts in my heart.

Emperor Jingfu woke up and saw Zhou Gan beside the bed, his expression was very calm, but his eyes were extraordinarily indifferent.

Zhou Ganruo didn't realize it, and calmly served Emperor Jingfu with the decoction.In fact, at this time, any decoction has lost its effect on Emperor Jingfu, and the toxin has already invaded the internal organs, no matter what kind of decoction it is, it will not relieve his pain.

Emperor Jingfu waved his hand and told all the waiters to step back.Emperor Jingfu asked Zhou Gan, "Do you hate me?"

Zhou Qian bowed his head and smiled, "If the son-in-law speaks of hatred, will the emperor abolish the son-in-law?"

Emperor Jing Fu shook his head, "No. You are my son, whether you hate it or not, this fact will not be changed."

Zhou Gan then said simply, "Hate. I hate my father's eccentricity. I hate why my father can't see my son's efforts and intentions. Why do I always doubt my son's loyalty because of some unnecessary things. My son has always been I don’t understand, but now I don’t care if I understand or not.”

Emperor Jingfu laughed, "Then you still want to know why I treat you like that, right?"

Zhou Qian did not deny it.

Emperor Jingfu smiled triumphantly, "It was hit by me. Then I will satisfy you today, why did I treat you like that. Because when I look at you, I will think of when I was young, and think of my life at that time. How hard it is, you worked so hard to get this position, but you lost the woman you wanted to marry the most. But you, as my son, have everything going well. Although you don’t have the courage and wisdom like me, you He is a truly blessed person. I just thought, you are a son, and when you see Lao Tzu, you will kneel down and worship him. Why is your blessing even better than that of me, the king of a country. Tell me, why is your blessing so good?"

Zhou Gan laughed, "Thank you, Father, for your recognition of my son and Ming Yu. My son thought about it, and the reason why he has such a good fortune is because his son is not greedy, knows how to fight, and knows how to cherish. Maybe this This is the biggest difference between a son and his father."

"Aren't you greedy?" Emperor Jingfu sneered, "Since you're not greedy, why are you staring at my position? If you're not greedy, why did you do so many things?"

Zhou Gan smiled calmly, "Because my son's pursuit and goal have changed. When he was young, his goal was to marry Xiao Mingyu as his wife. For this reason, everything else can be compromised. When the son has a beautiful wife and children, The son set his goal in a more ambitious place. Today, it is the son who has come out step by step. Every step is full of the son's hard work and bitterness along the way. The father will never know how many times, When facing the father, the son is so trembling. He is afraid that if he does not do something well, he will be reprimanded by the father. But even if the son works hard, he will not be recognized by the father. This makes the son very disappointed .In the end, the son no longer expects to be recognized by his father, and he no longer expects his father's approval."
