Chapter 224, Emperor and Queen
"Mother, don't worry, my son and Wuwu will definitely honor you well in the future and give you a lot of grandchildren."
"Hmph, it's like no one else can be born except Ji Wuwu." The eldest princess was still not happy.
"Mother, in fact, it's really good for me to marry worry-free, the emperor doesn't want to see me marry a noble girl with too high status, especially if I marry with the Dingguo Mansion."
Wei Chengjin and Han Zhan have a good relationship, and Emperor Sheng and Emperor are not too worried, but if they really get married, it will be a bit of a poke in the eyes of Emperor Sheng and Emperor.
"How so? Are you the emperor's nephew? ”
The eldest princess shouted in disbelief, but soon understood what to sigh The royal family has been suspicious since ancient times, and Emperor Sheng and Emperor are especially obvious, although they have always been low-key, but in the end, it is impossible for the emperor not to guard against it.
"The emperor is in his prime, and he has no idea of setting up a prince, the original emperor of Jin County has no choice, after all, he is both a grandson and a long man, so the emperor only crowned the king of Jin, fortunately, the king of Jin himself is not angry, and he made himself the king of Jin County, and the emperor is actually relieved.
But the three princes are different, and the masters who taught him all said that he was extremely smart and had the Dingguo Mansion behind, even if the emperor had the idea of making the third prince the crown prince, he didn't want to see him too strong now, didn't he see that the emperor has been more and more interested in the second prince recently?
is to be an opponent for the future three princes, if the son is not wrong, the emperor will not wait for the second prince to get married and be crowned king, it is estimated that as long as the second prince does another beautiful errand, the emperor will be able to give him the title. ”
Wei Chengjin's words made Wei Jiping and the eldest princess deeply agree, but in their hearts, they felt that the emperor's balanced way was a little hurtful to the father-son relationship, like their family, there is only one son of Wei Chengjin, Wei Jiping and the eldest princess have been planning for his future since they were children, where do they think so much?
"Can the second prince be crowned the prince? At the beginning, the king of Jin Jun was the prince who was directly sealed. ”
Wei Jiping is very concerned about this, he has always been obsessed with learning, but he is not too politically sensitive, but he has been helping the second prince plan recently, so he forces himself to care more about these things.
"No, and even if the third prince enters the throne this year, it should be the throne of the county, after all, the emperor still has to take care of the queen and the Zhou family, and the most important thing is that the eldest prince is crowned king as the eldest son."
Wei Chengjin shook his head, the prince throne is compensation for the emperor not to crown the eldest prince as the crown prince. The three of them were talking about the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the three of them looked at the housekeeper who came in and frowned slightly, what happened?
"Old lady, the old lady of the Zhou family has passed away."
"What?" Not to mention Wei Jiping and the eldest princess, Wei Chengjin was a little surprised.
Who is the old lady of the Zhou family, the king of the opposite sex in the dynasty, the biological father of the queen, the last king of the opposite sex of the Zhou family, the ruthless man who gave up his title for the position of the queen, and now he has passed away? There was no wind at all before.
However, Wei Chengjin quickly figured out that the old lady Zhou's condition should have been concealed, after all, although the current head of the Zhou family is also good, but in the end he still owes some fire, if the old lady of the Zhou family is still in good health and can still take charge, it is impossible for the queen and the king of Jin to be so passive.
It's just that now I think this is all an afterthought, they have to hurry up and prepare to mourn, the old lady of the Zhou family is not only the king of the opposite sex but also the lord of the country, they are all going to attend the funeral.
The most important thing is that the death of Mrs. Zhou like this has a great impact on the court and the harem, although their family does not participate in the matter of the prince, but they still have to be careful.
When Su Xizhu accompanied Gongsun Jing to the Zhou family, the Zhou family was already crying, Su Xizhu knew the Zhou sisters when he was in the Royal Academy, but he had a general relationship with them, and there was no contact with each other after marrying, Su Xizhu only knew that Zhou Lingxuan did not marry in the capital but married to a family in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhou Lingxuan is the queen's niece and the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, but unfortunately the situation of the king of Jin County and the queen is a little mysterious when she said that she was pro, so the Zhou family chose another way to win over the big family in Jiangnan and married Zhou Lingxuan, the eldest daughter.
Su Xizhu thought that Zhou Lingxuan's mood was a little delicate, she married alone, even if she had the support of her mother's family, but if the Zhou family wanted to have a good relationship with the big clan in Jiangnan, she must not be too tough in the matter of her children, and even let Zhou Lingxuan endure it, it was really a pity that Zhou Lingxuan was a smart girl.
Although Su Xizhu and Zhou Lingxuan have no relationship and their general positions are different, she can't deny Zhou Lingxuan's excellence among the nobles, and now looking at Zhou Yufu, whose facial features are somewhat similar to Zhou Lingxuan, Su Xizhu is quite emotional, who will she marry her mother's family after she keeps her filial piety? It seems that the meaning of the existence of noble girls in ancient times is to marry for the family, hey.
Su Xizhu thought that he was still very happy, if it wasn't for the accident, his parents would probably choose a husband who was in control or knew the bottom like Zhong Lishu.
Su Xizhu dutifully followed Gongsun Jing to be a qualified princess, she was sad when she should be sad, and she was also polite to the people who came to greet her, and she didn't have to worry about Gongsun Jing at all about what to say or do, she was very satisfied with Su Xizhu.
The eldest princess smiled a little embarrassed when she saw Gongsun Jing's family, fortunately, this is in the Zhou family, and it is a funeral, both of them are qualified housewives, just as if nothing happened, just looking at Su Xizhu, who is comfortable with others, the eldest princess once again sighed in her heart with envy, she will bring a daughter-in-law who doesn't know anything in the future.
The funeral of the old lady of the Zhou family was very beautiful, and even the emperor and queen attended together to incense the old lady Zhou, after all, he was the queen's biological father, although the queen's brother Zhou Shang felt honored, but there was a hidden worry, he faintly felt that this may be the most beautiful time for the Zhou family in the future.
The queen heard that her father died of illness, and her whole person shook for a while, her face was pale, her father was the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Zhou family, although she was not in good health in the later period, and everything was handed over to her brother, but there was a father in their Zhou family who had the Dinghai Divine Needle, but it was different, but unfortunately the father still passed away.
"Niangniang, now is not the time to be sad, the old prince has passed away, and the various families in Shengjing will definitely have ideas, we must let everyone know that the Zhou family is still the most powerful family in Shengjing, and it is the emperor's Yue family, and its status is unshakable."
The queen's henchmen are also from the Zhou family, and they are very trusted by the queen. So she is very considerate of the queen, and she is also sad that the old lady has passed away, but now is not the time to be sad, they want to fight for the interests of the queen and the king of Jinjun.
Recently, the emperor has been promoting the second prince who was born as a cheap servant, and now the emperor has only two princes to enter the court, and the king of Jin County has been so passive, and when the third prince enters the court, the Zhou family has kept filial piety, and the situation of the king of Jin County is even more difficult.
"Well, although my father is gone, the grief after his death will not be less, and the Zhou family will not be able to return to their ancestral land to keep filial piety, dress up the palace, and go to see the emperor with the palace."
Emperor Sheng He also received the news of the death of Prince Zhou, and the expression on his face could not be said to be happy or relieved, and when he heard the queen arrive, Emperor Sheng He immediately changed his expression to sadness.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's father has gone." The queen threw herself into the emperor's arms and cried, and the emperor caressed the queen's back and couldn't help comforting her.
"I also know, hey, my father-in-law has also reached the year of the sixtieth year, we can only mourn and change, fortunately, my father-in-law has a successor, with Zhou Aiqing here, the queen does not have to worry about her mother's family.
My father-in-law has done his best for the Jin Kingdom all his life, and the queen is your biological father, I will go with you to give my father-in-law incense. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the queen's heart, the emperor's words will give the eldest brother love, and there is no need to go back to keep filial piety? The queen originally thought that she needed to cry and beg, but she didn't expect the emperor to say it herself, and the queen was a lot more stable, and sure enough, the emperor still attached importance to her concubines and their mothers and sons.
Emperor Sheng He did not attach importance to the queen but the Zhou family could not let the people of the Zhou family withdraw from the court now, Zhou Shang was the secretary of the ministry, if the filial piety would be delayed for three years, the ministry would probably be divided by others, and when Zhou Shang came back, the king of Jin County would not have the strength to compete for the throne, so for the balance of the court, the Zhou family could not go back to keep filial piety.
Emperor Sheng He said it now for the heart of Empress An and the Zhou family, and more importantly, although the old prince of Zhou is in poor health, he will die so soon There is still the handwriting of Emperor Sheng He, of course, no one knows about this, although Emperor Sheng He is not guilty about this, but he can still give the other party some grief.
Emperor Sheng He's face was full of warmth, and the queen's grateful pear blossom was in tears, only looking at the really loving couple of Qin Se and Ming, where did they look like the emperor and queen who had long been in harmony.
Although Emperor Sheng and the queen came to mourn the old lady Zhou, the two of them just went to the pillar incense and left because of their identities, but the people around looked at the Zhou family obviously more respectful, which also made Zhou Shang comfort a little in the panic of losing his father, especially after getting the news passed by the queen, his attitude was more comfortable.
Su Xizhu returned to Liuliju to take a bath, today she was tired to death, although she just went to participate in other people's funerals, but after all, she has a high status, and there are many people to socialize, although Su Xizhu can deal with it easily, but her nature actually doesn't like these, it is better to stay in Liuliju with a baby and pet a cat at this time.
After taking a bath, Su Xizhu lay lazily on the bed, and when Han Zhan came in, he saw that he looked a little funny, touched her hair and went to wash.
"Hey, I'm afraid the Zhou family will be prosperous for a while in the future, but the road in the future is not certain." Su Xizhu and Han Zhan were lying on the bed chatting, because they were going to Zhou's house tomorrow as juniors, so the two did not have a pleasant physical integration today.
"Well, the emperor won't let the Zhou family fall." When the emperor did not support another person to deal with him, whether it was the harem or the previous dynasty, the Zhou family was needed.
Today, Han Zhan found that Zhou Shang's was obviously much calmer after the queen came, it should be the queen who sent him the news, and now the Zhou family is most concerned about nothing more than whether the emperor will win love, Han Zhan hugged Su Xizhu in his arms, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
