On the day of the scumbag’s wedding, I lay flat on my back and became his sister-in-law Chapter 278 No matter how bad-tempered you are, this face is enough
Chapter 278 No matter how bad-tempered you are, this face is enough
The carriage Zhou Mu rode entered the palace quickly, and the people who were secretly following him turned around and went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to report to Zhou Xing.
"You entered the palace early in the morning?" Zhou Xing thought thoughtfully.
Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion. What are you going to do in the palace at the end of the week?
"Moreover, Lord Zhangyin personally welcomed Lord Zhou into the palace." The spy added.
Zhou Xing stared straight ahead for a while: "Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace immediately."
He wanted to see what kind of important matters his father had to send an order to see Zhou Mu on New Year's Eve.
Zhou Xing entered the palace as quickly as possible and headed to Qiankun Palace.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Qiankun Palace, Emperor Chengde was not here, and Liu Qing was nowhere to be seen.
He went to the Qinzheng Hall again, but Emperor Cheng De was still nowhere to be found.
The strangest thing is that he searched several places where Emperor Chengde might go, but couldn't find anyone.
Later, he simply went to Yankang Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw him coming, she seemed to have something to say: "You kid, do you have something to say?"
"Does the Imperial Grandmother know where the Imperial Father is? Just now, the grandson went to pay homage to the Imperial Father. No one knows where the Imperial Father has gone. Did the Imperial Father pay homage to the Imperial Grandmother today?" Zhou Xing asked directly.
"The emperor came early in the morning and disappeared after saying hello. Today is New Year's Eve. It is rare for him to have free time. The emperor may go to the harem to walk around." The Queen Mother was not suspicious of Zhou Xing's problem.
Zhou Xing kept in mind the fact that Emperor Chengde had issued an imperial edict to see Zhou Mu alone, and probed without leaving any trace: "My grandson heard that my father met Mr. Zhou Mu today. Does the royal grandmother know where Mr. Zhou came from?"
The Queen Mother was surprised when she heard this: "What did the emperor do today with the imperial edict to Lord Zhou? The emperor is indeed very arrogant to Lord Zhou, but it's strange that he still summons people to the palace during the Chinese New Year."
When Zhou Xing saw that the Queen Mother was also confused, he knew that he couldn't ask why.
This trip was in vain.
After leaving Yankang Palace, Zhou Xing went to Ganquan Palace.
Along the way, I met many members of the royal family, all of whom came to the palace for a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve.
As soon as Concubine Xian saw Zhou Xing, she pulled him and talked for a long time.
Later, seeing Zhou Xing wink, Concubine Xian ordered the other attendants to leave.
After Concubine Xian was left with only her confidants, Zhou Xing finally told Zhou Mu about entering the palace.
Concubine Xian has never met Zhou Mu, but she has heard of Zhou Mu's name more than once. They all say that Zhou Mu's appearance and bearing are very outstanding, and he is valued by Emperor Chengde.
But he was summoned to the palace on New Year's Eve and disappeared, which really makes people curious about Zhou Mu's origin.
"Have you searched all the places your father went to?" Concubine Xian asked.
"I searched everywhere I could think of, but there was no trace of my father. I asked the attendants at Kunqian Palace and they didn't know where my father had gone. Perhaps only Liu Zhangyin knew why my father valued Zhou Mu so much. "Zhou Xing then talked about Zhou Mu adding makeup to Gu Xiyan that day.
After hearing this, Concubine Xian's expression became solemn: "You have just entered the court and become an official, and you have such a big deal. It only shows that Zhou Mu's family is either rich or noble."
"My son thinks so too. Just those four boxes of gold cakes are huge. How can ordinary people get such a lot of extras? Even my son can't come up with it, so we know that Zhou Mu's house is very impressive." Zhou Mu said. Xing expressed his feelings: "My son dislikes Zhou Mu very much."
"Are you still thinking about Gu Xiyan?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly.
Zhou Xing said seriously: "Why do you think about her? Soon I will marry Chaoyan. Your Qin princess only has Chaoyan. What does Gu Xiyan mean? I hate Zhou Mu and Xiyan." It doesn’t matter.”
Concubine Xian looked at Zhou Xing's expression and felt relieved when she saw that he didn't seem to be lying.
"You have to remember one thing, no one or anything is as important as the position of the crown prince." Concubine Xian lowered her voice deliberately: "It's just a woman, what kind of beauty do you want when you come to the throne?"
Of course Zhou Xing understands these principles. Recently, he has not thought about Gu Xiyan anymore, but he does not like to hear the teaching either, so he stood up and said, "My son, please go to other places in the palace."
"It's rare for you to enter the palace and not spend more time with your mother and concubine?" Concubine Xian felt unhappy.
The son has left his mother alone. Since the child was crowned king and moved out of the palace to live, he has become less and less close to her, the mother.
"I would like to find my father again and come back to accompany my mother and concubine later." Zhou Xing said and left.
After leaving Ganquan Palace, Zhou Xing went to Qiankun Palace again, but there was still no sign of Emperor Chengde.
Little did he know that Emperor Chengde specifically told him that no one should expose his whereabouts.
He just wanted to have a quiet reunion dinner with his eldest son for the first time in twenty years, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
The palace was chosen by Liu Qing. It is relatively quiet, with not many people coming and going, and it is even quieter during the Chinese New Year.
"Does anyone have a reunion dinner so early?" Zhou Mu saw a table full of dishes and had no appetite.
Emperor Chengde sneered: "Isn't it just to accommodate you, an unfilial son?"
Zhou Mu was silent, "Actually, it's quite novel to have a reunion dinner at this time."
His words finally pleased Emperor Cheng De. Before the emperor could be happy, Zhou Mu said again: "But we still have to hurry up. I also want to go to the Hou Mansion to have a reunion dinner with Xi Yan."
Emperor Chengde:......
Liu Qing couldn't help laughing on the sidelines and felt deeply sad for Emperor Cheng De.
But only in front of His Majesty can His Majesty experience the happiness of an ordinary family. The other princes and princesses treat His Majesty with respect and regard Him more as a king than as an ordinary father.
"You kid is quite busy." Emperor Cheng De couldn't help but mock Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu said sarcastically: "Isn't dad also very busy? After this reunion dinner, there will be another reunion dinner."
Emperor Chengde was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and suddenly asked: "Zimo, does Xiyan know this side of you?"
Zhou Mu was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer.
Seeing this, Emperor Cheng De patted him on the shoulder, as if to comfort him: "It's okay, no matter how bad-tempered you are, this face is enough."
"Xi Yan is not a person who only values beauty." Zhou Mu paused and asked, "Is my son's temper really so unpleasant?"
Emperor Chengde suppressed a smile: "I like it very much as a father, and I think Xiyan will also like it."
Zhou Mu knew that his father was trying to comfort him, but he didn't take it seriously.
At worst, it's not difficult to prevent Xi Yan from knowing his unpleasant side, what kind of person she likes, and what kind of person he acts in front of her.
Just don't let her see the bad side.
Emperor Cheng De knew that Zhou Mu could not drink well, and he was afraid that he would get sick, so he did not dare to drink with him.
After a so-called reunion dinner, the father and son did not enjoy any family happiness. Instead, they started arguing and poking at each other's sore spots.
After finishing the meal, Emperor Cheng De still had tears in his eyes as he watched Zhou Mu's tall figure walk away.
Liu Qing knew how complicated Emperor Cheng De's mood was.
After all, this is the first time in twenty years that I can have a reunion dinner with my eldest son on a day like New Year’s Eve. His Majesty is so happy that he wept with joy.
