Mai Shangshu also knew why these old foxes suddenly came to him for tea. They just wanted to inquire about Zhou Mu. These old foxes must have discovered that Zhou Mu's origins were fishy, but they were not sure whether Zhou Mu was the noble person they were looking for.<
/p>
At this point, Mai Shangshu felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told all the details he knew.
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
If there were still doubts before, this time everyone is sure that there is more than 90% chance that Zhou Mu is the emperor's eldest son.
"Could it be that we checked in the wrong direction? Or could it be that His Majesty deliberately pushed Mr. Zhou out to confuse our hearing?" Qiu Shangshu is cautious, but he is still a little worried.
Zhong He, the Qing of Dali Temple, said: "I think Mr. Zhou is 100% the noble man we are looking for."
"What do you mean by this?" It was Zhao Wen who asked.
"As far as I know, Mr. Zhou lived in Fallen Immortal Temple before entering the officialdom and studied under Master Mingjue. His Highness was dying when he was born. It is said that he lost his breath on the spot. If there is really an expert in the world who can save him,
Your Highness, that master is none other than Master Mingjue." Zhong He actually had already made up his mind, but he still made this trip just to confirm this fact from Mai Shangshu.
As soon as he said this, everyone picked up their teacups and drank tea in a tacit understanding.
In the past, everyone felt that His Highness King Qin was the best candidate for the position of crown prince. They did not need to take sides, after all, Emperor Cheng De paid the highest attention to His Highness King Qin.
Before His Highness the First Prince appeared, it was everyone's tacit understanding that His Highness King Qin was established as the Crown Prince.
Now that something unexpected has happened, everyone has other concerns.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Mr. Zhou is getting married, and His Royal Highness King Qin is also getting married soon. Both of them are getting married on the second day of February. I wonder which of the adults will have a wedding banquet at that time?!" asked
The speaker was Qiu Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
The other people obviously did not expect this. They were stunned at the same time, and quickly picked up their teacups to drink tea to hide their embarrassment.
If before the eldest prince appeared, they undoubtedly went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to have a wedding banquet, but the eldest prince suddenly resurrected. If they did not go to the eldest prince's mansion to have a wedding banquet, and waited for the eldest prince to be established as the crown prince and then ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, what would happen?
Didn’t you offend the future king?
Seeing no one answered, Qiu Shangshu asked Zhong Hedao: "Which family does Mr. Zhong plan to go to for the wedding banquet?"
Zhong He coughed lightly and said vaguely: "I haven't thought about it yet."
If Zhou Mu is the eldest prince, then he certainly can't offend him, right? But it's not easy to offend His Highness the King of Qin. After all, His Highness the King of Qin also has a considerable power in the court, and there are virtuous concubines in the harem. It's uncertain.
One day the Concubine Xian blows the wind on the pillow, and the position of Prince will be in the hands of His Highness King Qin.
Mai Shangshu was the least stressed. He said cheerfully: "Since Mr. Zhou is on duty in the Ministry of Household Affairs, I, a colleague, naturally want to have a glass of Mr. Zhou's wedding wine."
Several other adults secretly scolded Mai Shangshu as an old fox.
However, they also envied Lao Mai. Zhou Mu worked as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Lao Mai would have some friendship with Zhou Mu. If Zhou Mu becomes the prince in the future, won't Lao Mai also benefit from it?
After finishing the tea, everyone went back to their homes and stayed up all night again, just because they were worried about where they were going to have a wedding banquet on the day when the dragon raised its head.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and the news of Mai Shangshu drinking tea with several officials of the dynasty quickly spread throughout the officialdom.
In less than a day, many people received the news that Zhou Mu might be the eldest prince. Even though it has not been confirmed yet, everyone guessed that this matter is gone.
So all the officials were wondering which house they should go to for the wedding banquet.
What’s interesting is that the invitation from Prince Qin’s Palace and Zhou Mu’s invitation were sent out on the same day.
The official who received the invitation was both happy and worried. Being able to receive the invitation meant that he still had some weight in the court, but on the day when the dragon raised its head, it also became a problem as to which restaurant to go to for the wedding banquet.
Then someone asked Marquis Wan Qing for information, asking if Zhou's mansion was big and could it accommodate so many guests if so many people were invited to a wedding banquet.
Wan Qinghou knew that the next door was not big, just like an ordinary house. Zhou Mu lived next door so that he could keep in touch with Zhou Mu regularly.
Emperor Cheng De also said hello to him that Zhou Mu would soon move to Yong'an Street.
Everyone in the capital knows that the most magnificent mansions in the capital are all on Yong'an Street, but most of them are occupied. Only the former Prince An's Palace is still empty.
If nothing unexpected happens, that mansion will become Zhou Mu's new mansion.
"Master Zhou's house is not big, but Master Zhou may move." Wan Qinghou then added: "Don't say it was me who said so."
After he finished speaking, he hurried away.
Only then did someone realize that Wan Qinghou was the biggest winner.
Liu Chaoyan married His Highness the King of Qin, and Gu Xiyan married Zhou Mu. Didn’t that mean that both girls from the Liu family married princes?
Although these two Liu girls have been surrounded by rumors recently, they are all going to marry princes.
What kind of luck is this to have two princes and concubines in one family?
"Why don't we see where Marquis Wan Qing goes to have a wedding banquet, and let's follow him?" Someone came up with an idea.
Everyone thinks this method is good.
Another person answered: "It is better to see His Majesty than to see Wan Qinghou. We will definitely go with you wherever Your Majesty goes to have a wedding banquet!"
Everyone who was eavesdropping with their ears suddenly slapped their thighs, yes, what's wrong with following His Majesty?
His Majesty’s attitude represents everything. As long as you pay attention to which restaurant your Majesty went to for wedding banquets, that will be the real weather vane.
Zhou Mu hadn't gone far yet, and since he had good hearing, after hearing the conversation of these people, he felt that he had some foresight and asked his father where to have a wedding banquet early in the morning.
Just look at the attitude of these wallflowers. If he is not favored, he will only be compared to Zhou Xing.
It would be fine for him, but he would never let Xiyan suffer injustice with him.
The closer the day comes when the dragon raises its head, the weirder the atmosphere in the court becomes.
Not only Zhou Mu noticed it, Zhou Xing also discovered something was wrong.
After the wedding invitations between him and Liu Chaoyan were sent out, except for a few of his loyal fans in the DPRK, no other DPRK officials made it clear.
Looking at this situation, it is obvious that everyone is watching the wind.
He also knew that a large number of officials in the court already knew Zhou Mu's true identity, and these people must be hesitating about which restaurant they should go to for the wedding banquet.
The saddest thing is that a large number of courtiers who supported him began to keep a distance from him after knowing that Zhou Mu was not dead. This was obviously because they knew that Zhou Mu had taken over the title of heir apparent, and Zhou Mu would have a greater chance of being established as the prince in the future than he did.
, only then did such a change occur.
He was filled with frustrations and had nowhere to vent. He was not in a hurry to leave the palace, so he simply went to Ganquan Palace.
