Shen Qingfei's thoughts and concerns are indeed well-founded, and it is precisely because they are too realistic that Shen Mingze's face becomes even more ugly. The reason why they are tied together now is because of interests. Now the emperor's behavior avoids large-scale conflicts.

These courtiers may not be able to reconcile their hearts.

Let’s not talk about others, but the Yang family and the Xiao family are probably thinking of responding at this time. After all, it is better for others to collect enough military pay than to pay for it themselves.

"Father, my grandmother doesn't agree with my sister entering the palace. How about we use this stall to withdraw from this dispute?"

His father had the ambition to stand high and look far, but he knew the golden mean and did not like to be so aggressive. Now his status in the court was not low. As long as the city of Jizhou was not destroyed, the status of the Shen family would never be high.

If you can waver, why bother going tit-for-tat with the emperor?

"You bastard, how can you retreat so easily now that you are already in the game?" Shen Mingze looked at his eldest son and the future heir of the Shen family, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his obscure eyes. How could he be like this?

Where is the cowardly and unfighting son?

It can be said that the young patriarchs of the three clans in Jizhou each have their own merits. However, his eldest son is the oldest, but his temperament is well known to everyone. If the world is peaceful, it will not be difficult to protect him with the strength of the Shen family. Even if he inherits the throne in the future

The family business will go smoothly throughout life, but the world is not peaceful now.

He couldn't help but think of his youngest son. That child's eyes exuded wildness like a wolf, and he should be the one who was most compatible with his temperament. However, with that person's verse in front of him, he did not dare to keep it.

Perhaps he felt that his words were too harsh, so after a while he said again: "I know you feel sorry for Qingyin, but with her appearance and character, she may not be able to occupy a place in the palace. If she gives birth to a legitimate son..."

Although Shen Mingze didn't say it clearly, how could Shen Qingfei not see the meaning after being father and son for many years? It's just that Jinshang is not an easy-to-control person, how could he allow his sister to give birth to a child?

It's just that some things are just one thing, but when they are implemented, they have a different mentality. He doesn't believe that his father can't see the disputes in the future, but he doesn't want to think about it, or it is not a big deal in his mind.

Compared with the unrest in the Shen family, the atmosphere in the Pei family was not that good. After Pei Qingwan was sent away, Duke Pei's expression dropped. Although she had made a promise to herself, this was really

You have to pay for the gold and silver yourself!

Thinking of what the emperor said to him today, and the fact that he moved out the late emperor Pei Guogong, he could only sigh. He felt that he owed the father and son, and had to be the one waving the flag and shouting at the side every time.

However, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that the promise he made was quite eye-catching - the right to defend Jizhou, which was very important to the Pei family.

In the palace, Zhou Nianzhen put away the last memorial before dragging his tired body to the window, staring at the bright moon outside the window with a dull expression. At this moment, the little eunuch outside the door reported back:

"Your Majesty, Prince Jin would like to see you."

A few days ago, he had even issued the same imperial edict to confer the throne on the Five Empresses. However, the horror of the former had obviously made people forget the existence of the latter. Now, he was only thinking about whether he had become insane.

"Let him in."

He actually has complicated feelings towards his younger brother. When he was a child, he would be lying if he said he didn't envy him every time he saw him nestled in his father's arms, but his innocent eyes made people unable to hate him.

He never knew why his mother-in-law lost to Pei Jinniang, but a few days ago he finally met this rumored figure. He had to be cruel. She did have an unforgettable face, but his father was not

A greedy person, otherwise there would never be only a few people in the harem.

If we talk about connotation, my mother-in-law is also a person who is full of poetry and calligraphy. Why can't she win the heart of my father?

That day, he used the majesty of the emperor to make her kneel in front of the imperial study for half an hour. If he hadn't known that the Pei family was of great importance to him at this time, he might have made two sacrifices for his mother and concubine.

However, his status as an emperor prevented him from losing his temper like ordinary children.

Just as his thoughts were getting further and further away, Zhou Nianjin's voice came over: "My brother, I pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Well, get up!"

Zhou Nianzhen strolled over and sat on the dragon chair, and then said in a neutral tone: "It's already late at night, why are you here to find me?"

"My brother wants to leave the palace tomorrow, and I hope the emperor will approve it." Some time ago, I wanted to go to the Gu family, but I was always pushed away by Aunt Pei for various reasons. Now I finally left Aunt Pei's house.

Of course, he didn't want to wait any longer.

"What are you doing out of the palace?"

Today's Jizhou Palace is not as big as the real palace, but it is safer to stay here. If you go out, you may encounter those unsightly nails in Beicang Kingdom. He is still afraid of being targeted at this young age.

"I want to find a sister I know well. I once promised to visit her, but now I haven't seen anyone in such a long time."

Zhou Nianjin is not a natural fool. He knows that no one will treat him unconditionally since the death of his father. Now that his brother is the king and he is the minister, he still wants to leave the palace.

"Whose girl?"

Zhou Nianzhen's brows furrowed tightly. He had always been spoiled by his father, but he didn't want to be deceived. Now that the Zhou royal family is weak, it is easiest for others to take advantage of it. When he thought of this

, a bit of chill flashed in his eyes.

If he knew that someone was deliberately approaching this little fool, he would definitely not let those people go.

——I have to say that after sitting on this dragon chair, Zhou Nianzhen's heart has become a lot older, and his paranoia is increasing day by day.

"Well...her father is the judge of Qinzhou, a very small official, and the emperor brother should not know him. But this is not important anymore. What is important is that I want to leave the palace tomorrow."

When Zhou Nianjin said this, he was still gesticulating with his chubby fingers, but Zhou Nianzhen's expression was blank. He couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met at the White Horse Temple that day. If his memory was correct, Qinzhou's judge

There is only one daughter of Si Gu Mingsheng who is older than this little fool.

"Why are you looking for her? What's so special about her?" Zhou Nianzhen was talking like an ordinary person, and that idiot Zhou Nianjin did relax his vigilance and said rather shyly, "I said at the beginning that I would

Marry her, now that I am a prince, I can't let other bastards get in first."
