It was already evening when Zhou Junpu went to his home.

Zhou Zhou was studying a piece of wood in the invention pile in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhou Junpu coming back, he hurriedly beckoned to him: "Daddy, don't you think this piece of wood looks like a human face?" ”

"Really? Let me see. Zhou Junpu hurriedly walked over to see.

Sure enough, the texture and color of the wood matched to resemble the outline of a human face. Zhou Junpu picked up the piece of wood and looked at it carefully, and found that it was at least fifty years old, so he asked, "Where did you get it from?" ”

"** Niang's brother sent it to someone, and he said he bought it from a mountain man." Zhou Zhou said happily, and then discussed with Zhou Junpu what to do.

"It looks so much like a charming woman, I think it's better to make a personal avatar." Zhou Zhou said.

"Then do as you want, you can add some hair to it, and then grind its neck fine......" Zhou Junpu patiently instructed. Before he could finish speaking, the butler hurriedly ran over to him and said, "Master, the third prince asked you to go to the East Palace." ”

Zhou Junpu was shocked.

He hadn't had any direct contact with the three princes on weekdays, so why would the three princes suddenly make an appointment with him? Thinking of the current chaotic situation, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Son Zhou Che has not come back from the office, and the only person who can discuss things at home is his daughter Zhou Zhou, Zhou Junpu took a deep breath and said to Zhou Zhou: "Daddy will go back when he goes, just wait for you to eat later, don't wait for me." Also, don't tell your brother about this, so that he won't worry. ”

Zhou Zhou nodded hurriedly, and added uneasily: "Daddy, do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"Silly boy, how can you, a woman in the house, go to meet strangers at will? Besides, he is the prince, who is the person you can see casually? Don't worry. Daddy has always been upright and sitting upright, and he will be fine. With that, he immediately got into the carriage and went straight to the East Palace.

The East Palace, the private residence of the third prince Zhu Rui, was built for him by the emperor at the beginning of this year, and is located on the outskirts of the city more than 50 miles away from the palace, so it was already dark when Zhou Junpu arrived at the East Palace.

The Dongwang Mansion is very large, and there are many people, and Zhou Junpu was shocked by the pattern and momentum inside when he entered the gate. But at this time, he didn't have the heart to appreciate this. I just thought about how to get out and leave as soon as possible.

"Zhou Shilang, the third prince is waiting for you in the study, please come with the little one." Jia Ding walked towards Zhou Junpu and saluted. Then he walked in front with a lantern.

After passing through the long verandah, turning the winding forest path, and passing through three rockeries, a house with a unique shape suddenly appeared in front of you. The inside was brightly lit, and the scent of sandalwood faintly came.

"That's the study of the third prince. Zhou Shilang, please. The housekeeper led him to the door of the study and gently retreated.

The third prince was sitting at his desk reading a book, his expression quite focused.

When Zhou Junpu came in, he didn't raise his head and said, "Zhou Shilang, please take a seat." ”

Zhou Junpu sat down on a chair not far from him, smiled and asked, "I don't know what the third prince is looking for?" Although he had a smile on his face, he panicked in his heart.

Zhu Rui put down the book in his hand and glanced at him. smiled and said, "Zhou Shilang drinks tea." ”

"Okay." Zhou Junpu obediently picked up the tea, and when it was almost to his mouth, he couldn't help but worry - in case this tea was drugged......

He hurriedly removed the teacup from his mouth.

"You're worried I'm going to in the tea?" The third prince asked quietly, with a faint smile on his face.

"Oh no. Don't worry, the tea is still a little hot. In the next ......, "Zhou Junpu hurriedly made excuses.

The third prince said, "Then let's stay and drink again." ”

Zhou Junpu, who received this instruction, hurriedly put down the teacup, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

"Zhou Shilang, this king doesn't mean to harm you, don't worry." The third prince picked up the cup of tea that Zhou Junpu had just picked up and drank it down, and then put the cup back on the table.

Seeing this, Zhou Junpu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

The third prince smiled and waved his hand and said, "This king doesn't blame you, get up quickly." ”

Zhou Junpu trembled and got up.

"I've heard that you and your daughter are fond of inventing fun things, and I'm in a bad mood lately, so I'd like to ask her to make something that will please me." The third prince said lightly.

This frightened Zhou Junpu a lot, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Those little things can't make a big scene, how dare they show ugliness in front of the three princes?" While thinking to himself, how did the third prince know about this?

He rarely mentions family affairs in the yamen on weekdays, and it stands to reason that no one outside will know, but he doesn't know how to ask the third prince for a while, so he is both puzzled and panicked.

The third prince knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, so he explained with a smile: "When the king was a guest at a friend's house, he saw a small wooden horse in the study, and he thought it was very interesting, so he inquired about its provenance. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and it was probably revealed by the little niece of Su Zizhao, the head of the household, Zhou Junpu breathed a sigh of relief.

"How? The king gave Ling Yan three days, hoping that Ling Yan's invention would not disappoint the king. ”

Zhou Junpu hurriedly asked: "I don't know what hobbies the third prince has on weekdays?" ”

He needs to understand these things in order to do what he likes.

"I have a lot of hobbies, especially reading books and practicing martial arts." The third prince said with a smile.

It's not easy to grasp - things in books and martial arts are not easy to express through an object.

Zhou Junpu couldn't help but sweat in his heart, but he didn't dare to shirk it anymore, so he said respectfully: "Okay, then I will bring the little girl's invention in the next three days." ”

"Well, go ahead, this king is waiting for your good news."

Zhou Junpu wiped his sweat and said goodbye.

"Did he really say he wanted my invention?" Zhou Zhou couldn't believe it.

"Well, he's not been in a good mood lately, and I hope you can invent something that will make him happy." Zhou Junpu nodded.

"How old is he?" Zhou Zhou asked curiously.

"About fifteen or sixteen." Zhou Junpu said, his handsome face suddenly appeared in his mind, and added: "But it's already quite manly." ”

"Oh." Zhou Zhou began to ponder.

Zhou Junpu also helped find a way.

They only want to entertain themselves on weekdays, so they invent all the things they want, but now they have to be extra cautious if they want to do it for the prince, after all, if the prince is not satisfied at that time, and it happens to be in a bad mood, then the heads of the Zhou family will not be able to be saved.

And there is only a three-day period.

From conception, production to completion, the effect has to be tested, and if the effect is not satisfactory, it will have to be redone, and Zhou Junpu is very nervous when he thinks of these.

"Daddy, is he quiet or active?" Zhou Zhou asked again.

"I see him moving and quiet."

"Oh." Zhou Zhou began to use his brain to think again.

She drew on the paper as she thought, and soon got into the groove.

Zhou Junpu gently closed the door and went out.

"Zhou'er, this matter is not trivial, don't be careless!" Before going out the next day, Zhou Junpu earnestly instructed.

"Don't worry, Daddy, I'll do my best." Zhou Zhou looked up from the drawing and smiled at him.

It seemed that she was somewhat sure.

Zhou Junpu's heart was slightly settled. (To be continued)
