The emperor came.

It's getting dark now, why is the emperor here?

Seeing this, he quickly said to Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan: "Brother, sister-in-law, you two go hide inside first."

Zhou Ruiyuan hugged Du Wanchun and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the backyard first."

As soon as Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun left, the emperor came.

He sat down and took a sip of tea, "It's rude of me to come to you so suddenly tonight."

Zhou Feng poured him a cup of tea, "I wonder what the emperor has to do to come to my house at this time?"

The emperor put down the cup, looked around, and said, "I saw your sister-in-law in the palace today."

Zhou Feng replied, "Yes, because I am about to get married, my sister-in-law came to help me preside over the wedding."

The emperor continued to ask, "Where is your sister-in-law from?"

Zhou Feng said truthfully, "My sister-in-law is a peasant girl from a small village in Qingzhou Prefecture."

"Peasant girl..." The emperor muttered in a low voice, "If you see her, please ask me where the fragrance on her body comes from?"

Zhou Feng replied, "Sister-in-law has always used the fragrance of our Zhou family."

The emperor shook his head, "No, the fragrance of your Zhou family is not like this. Maybe your sister-in-law met someone on the road."

Zhou Feng suddenly understood what he meant, maybe because the emperor sensed his mother's scent on Du Wanchun.

He quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor sat here with Zhou Feng for a while. Every time he looked at Zhou Feng, he would be lost in thought, thinking about his three sons who were still unknown whether they were alive or dead.

Zhou Feng asked him, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor said slowly, "I can always see the shadow of my second son in you, but it's a pity that you are not him."

Zhou Feng felt mixed emotions when he heard this, "The emperor is so concerned about the second prince, it's really a deep father-son relationship."

The emperor took a sip of water from the water cup and said, "Deep father-son relationship? Yes, it is a deep father-son relationship."

Zhou Feng's eyes turned cold when he heard this.

If it was really a deep father-son relationship, why did he kill him in the first place?

He turned sideways and didn't want to look at the emperor again.

The emperor sat here for a while and left.

After the emperor left, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun came out from the backyard.

However, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun had just arrived at the front yard when the emperor, who had already gone out, suddenly returned and happened to run into them.

Du Wanchun hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor was stunned when he saw Zhou Ruiyuan.

Zhou Ruiyuan was also startled, but when he thought that he had changed his appearance, he relaxed and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty."

The emperor slowly came back to his senses. When he first saw Zhou Ruiyuan, he thought he saw his eldest son, but after a closer look, he found that he was not.

He asked them, "Are you Zhou Yan's brother?"

Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "Your Majesty, yes."

The emperor looked at him carefully and said, "He looks like a scholar."

Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "I just passed the imperial examination last year."

The emperor was quite interested in him, "Does he have to participate in this year's imperial examination?"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded and said, "Yes."

The emperor smiled at Zhou Feng and said, "I didn't expect that your Zhou family has such a talent."

Zhou Ruiyuan deliberately lowered his head.

The emperor thought he missed his son too much, and he always felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at Zhou Ruiyuan's face.

Du Wanchun deliberately changed the subject and said, "I wonder what else the emperor is here for?"

The emperor replied, "Beidi will come to the capital in a few days. He has always loved incense, and wants Manager Zhou to send some high-quality incense to the palace."

Zhou Feng stepped forward and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
