Chapter 101: Hostages

"Seriously, when it comes to seniority, I'm still your cousin, a big family, intertwined, who can sort it out? Since you have married into the Zhou family, let's arrange it according to my seniority. Xue'er and Katsu An and Katsuhiro are all cousins. ”

"Sheng An can't do it, he is his own uncle, this blood relative"

Zhou Sinian interrupted me and nodded my head: "Don't mention this matter in the future, does Sheng'an have anything to do with Xue'er's own uncle?" I have promised the emperor that Xue'er will be Shenghong in the future, what do you want? ”

"What do I think," I said unconvinced, "I just see that Seungan likes Cher so much today, and I don't know Katsuhiro"

Zhou Sinian said: "You still say you didn't think about anything? Cher has already been given to Katsuhiro, and she can't go back, you remember. ”

I looked at Xue'er, who was walking in front of Ruyi holding hands, wearing a pink gauze skirt, talking to Ruyi delicately, distressed, and said, "What do you mean you can't regret?" You're too fast, can't you wait a few years to see what happens? Who knows how Katsuhiro is? ”

"What can I do? The emperor is wise and martial, and the queen was also your favorite person at the beginning, and it will not be bad just looking at your parents. Shenghong is also a talent, you can't even look down on the prince of the court? ”

"The prince is rare, I will see who is good to my daughter. You're an outcast, I'm not going to marry you too? ”

Zhou Sinian said disappreciably: "If I were really an ordinary outcast, I was afraid that if I got close to you, you would be dirty." ”

I was speechless, thought for a moment and said, "I mean, Cher is looking for someone who loves her and loves her," I grabbed his arm and whispered, "Like, just like you did to me." ”

Zhou Sinian smiled and said gently: "You finally said a word of conscience." ”

"Shenghong has just been born, let's take care of him more, cultivate more, and let Xue'er get closer to him, people's hearts are flesh and blood, don't worry about things all the time." Zhou Si said in a young voice, "My daughter, how can I not be in pain? ”

"Brother Nian, I'm mainly worried," I hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not, "I remember that when you said Qiu Zege, you said that betrayal is passed down from generation to generation. Will Katsuhiro be like the emperor in some ways? ”

Zhou Sinian unexpectedly did not lose his temper, but

Seriously, whispered to me, "If you're worried about this, then I can say now, no." ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"The emperor was not raised by his mother since he was a child, and the female officials who took him," Zhou Sinian shook his head and sighed, "let him fall into some hidden diseases." I have studied medicine so seriously over the years, partly because of my mother, and partly because I want to help the emperor heal. ”

"Is it cured?" Thinking about it, I asked another stupid question and said, "There are two children, it must be fine." ”

Unexpectedly, he continued to say seriously: "The disease on his body has been cured, but he really doesn't want to get close to women anymore." ”

"That Yoyo" I feel very sad, like a flower.

"Shenghong won't have this problem," Zhou Sinian didn't answer my words, and continued, "I know in my heart, that's why I agreed, I won't push my daughter into the fire pit." ”

Although nervous, Xue'er's marriage was decided like this, and for the Zhou family, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this is a great joy.

When our family came to Jiangnan again, the Zhou Mansion in Jiangnan had already been built, and it occupied half a street by the mountains and rivers. It was twice as big as originally expected. On the plaque above the vermilion gate, the big characters of "Creating the Dingguo Mansion" are particularly conspicuous.

This year's winter is not cold, and the capital is peaceful. The emperor didn't want to let Zhou Sinian go back to the south, but he repeatedly asked for help, and Chen Xianren also reported that Dingguogong's illness would recur at any time. Li Chaozong was apprehensive about his illness last year, and finally let him return to Jiangnan.

I don't want to go back to Nan at all, Jiangnan is a sad place for me, I'm here, and I've lost my daughter Ah Fu forever. Moreover, the south is the most powerful place in Sun City, and here, I can always feel a kind of pressure, that is, the pressure of the emperor's power. Last year, the anti-thieves who could not be caught by the Dragon Guard, because they offended Sun City, within one day, except for the bandit leader, all of them were punished.

Sun City used to just make people feel wealthy, and they had never shown their strength, and Zhou Sinian had never reported to Li Chaozong that he was raising warriors. This time, in order to find his daughter, Zhou Sinian couldn't take care of it much.

The Dragon Guards would definitely report to Li Chaozong, but after we returned to the capital, Li Chaozong didn't say a word, nor did he ask Ah Fu, or Zhou Sinian's own understatement: Because of the robbers, the child was lost.

Li Chaozong appeased a few words, and finally said: "You are looking for a child, do you still need my help?" The Dragon Guard is not as good as you. ”

Zhou Sinian hurriedly said: "Over there in Jiangnan, relying on familiarity, I caught a few robbers by luck. Where can it be compared to the Dragon Guard. ”

Li Chaozong smiled, pondered for a moment and said: "The southern court is far away, and it is also a blessing for the community to have you in charge." ”

Then he issued an edict to approve the year of Zhou Si of the Duke of the Kingdom and build a mansion in Jiangnan. At the same time, as an inspection envoy, on behalf of the emperor, he supervised officials in various parts of Jiangnan and understood the situation in various places.

Before we left, we were going to the palace as usual to bid farewell to Li Chaozong. Li Chaozong specially sent Father-in-law Xia to bring Ruyi and Xue'er into the palace together.

Li Chaozong held a family banquet for us to see us off, and the queen took the crown prince Shenghong to the banquet, as well as the queen's daughter Princess Shengyuan, Sheng'an and Zhang Ronghua have always been excluded.

The four children were very happy together, except for the crown prince Katsuhiro, the other three children were able to run and talk, and for a while, the solemn palace added a lot of joyful atmosphere.

Cher and Katsuhiro are really good, Katsuhiro laughs when he sees Cher, and Cher always uses small toys to make Katsuhiro happy.

Li Chaozong looked at Xue'er, and also showed a rare smile, and said to Zhou Sinian: "This girl is really good. I felt a little awkward when I heard him say this, and remembered that he praised Youyou: "This girl is good." ”

Then I gave myself a mouth in my heart, I was afraid that if I sued Zhou Sinian, he would also scold me, how could a mother think of her daughter so much.

Before leaving, Li Chaozong said: "Your pair of children, with a lot of inconvenience, stay in the palace and teach with the crown princess." ”

Don't talk about me, Zhou Sinian was also surprised: "Your Majesty, these two children are too young, and they are usually very stubborn, just afraid"

Li Chaozong smiled: "What? The Grand Palace, I'm afraid that it won't be enough for them to play? I will let the queen take care of them herself, which is much better than you take them to Jiangnan. ”

"When you come back next year, let them go back and reunite with you, I also want to see their harmony and let their next generation get along more." He smiled and said, "Especially Yunyao and Katsuhiro." ”

I don't know which words of Li Chaozong moved Zhou Sinian, he actually agreed, and said: "Then there is Queen Lao's mother." ”
