"Second prince, the queen is invited."

Zhou Chengyu stopped, and had to immediately change direction to go to the queen, as soon as he entered the hall, there was a faint fragrance coming, Zhou Chengyu couldn't help frowning, he didn't like this kind of incense, but he didn't dare to say anything more about the queen.

The queen was feeding the fish in the vat with fish food, and when she saw Zhou Chengyu coming, she immediately handed the things in her hand to the palace maid on the side, she looked at Zhou Chengyu lovingly and said, "Yu'er, sit down, the queen mother has prepared your favorite hibiscus cake for you, and it's still hot." ”

Zhou Chengyu said, "Thank you to the queen mother." ”

While speaking, Mama had already brought up the snacks and tea, Zhou Chengyu was in a good mood at the moment, looking at this hibiscus cake also came to appetite, he ate a few pieces in a row, and drank half a bowl of tea before stopping, the queen looked at Zhou Chengyu quietly, and waited for him to finish eating, before he said out loud, "Yu'er, but there is good news to tell the queen mother?" ”

Zhou Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the queen meant, but he was afraid that what the emperor talked to him about today would be known to his mother, Zhou Chengyu suddenly hesitated, looking at the queen's meaning, she should hope that she would agree to this family business.

"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? After the next dynasty today, didn't the emperor keep you? The queen looked at Zhou Chengyu's reaction and was a little surprised.

"Yes, my father did let his sons stay temporarily." Zhou Chengyu replied.

"Didn't the emperor tell you that he wanted to marry you and Mrs. Liu?"

Sure enough, Zhou Chengyu said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "After returning to my mother, my father did tell his son about it, but his son ...... There is no consent. ”

"What?" The queen couldn't believe her ears for a moment, "You didn't agree?" Why? ”

"Erchen doesn't want to marry so hastily." Zhou Chengyu knew that the queen would definitely be angry, so he could only put his posture to the lowest level, so that the queen's anger would be lowered.

The queen did not ease her anger because of Zhou Chengyu's low profile, she slapped her palm on the table, "Sloppy? I think it's you who are sloppy! ”

Because of the queen's sudden anger, the palace maid and eunuch in the room knelt on the ground, and the queen gasped and said, "You all go out, this palace wants to talk to the second prince." ”

"Yes." All the subordinates hurriedly evacuated, for fear of getting into trouble and causing unnecessary trouble.

When there was only their mother and son left in the room, the queen looked at Zhou Chengyu, who was also kneeling beside her, sighed and said, "Do you know that I personally asked for this family business for you last night?" If you marry the daughter of Liu Taiwei, you are equivalent to having one more support, Liu Taiwei only has such an only daughter, naturally he will love her, now the regent is powerful, you have a lot of shortcomings compared to him, not to mention his military achievements, that is, the support forces behind him, the bright and dark are also much more than you, and he has a marriage contract with the county lord, which is equivalent to pulling King Yunlang under his command, but what about you? In addition to your uncle Shen family, there are several ministers in the DPRK and China, how many forces are there that can be compared with Zhou Jinghan? ”

Zhou Chengyu admitted that the queen's words were not wrong, and he didn't seem to be able to refuse this marriage, but at that time, he was really thinking about other things in his mind, and he didn't forget about this stake at all.

"Erchen...... Know the mistake! "Zhou Chengyu will never disobey the queen.

The queen took a sip of tea to calm her anger, "You...... Don't you still like Soho? Do you want to marry her? ”

"No, Erchen didn't mean that." Soho is a woman he can't fathom, and he can't control it, although he wants to conquer such a woman, he doesn't want to marry home.

The queen nodded, "That's good, this girl is very smart, according to the palace, she is very good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, besides, she went to the end with the regent before, and now Concubine Yun values her again, such a person, the palace doesn't like it, it's just a matter of using it, besides, although Prime Minister Su Cheng is in a high position, he never wants to stand on the side of any party, such a person is not easy to woo." ”

"Erchen understands."

"It's good to understand, then tell me, how did you reply to your father at that time, I'll see if there is any room for recovery." The queen took a sip of tea and said.

Zhou Chengyu knew that she couldn't hide, even if she didn't say it at this time, the queen would definitely send someone to find out at that time, so she had to say it hard.

The queen was silent for a long time, but her expression became more and more hideous, she suddenly threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the tea splashed on Zhou Chengyu's body, but he still didn't move.

The queen covered her heart, pointed at Zhou Chengyu and said, "Okay, it's really good, this palace really raised a good son who values love and righteousness, you are the same as your father, you like to pursue the woman you love so much, right?" Your father doted on Concubine Yun's slut, and now you also like a lowly woman! ”

This is the eternal pain in the queen's heart, when the emperor faced her, he personally said that he loved Concubine Yun the most, and she was just a qualified wife, a suitable candidate for the queen, that's all, the queen could only smile when facing the emperor, but now she couldn't laugh, she was crazy jealous, her husband was like this, she didn't allow her son to be like this.

"The queen mother is angry, her sons are just a temporary freshness to her, even if she accepts, she can only be a concubine." Zhou Chengyu could only try to make the queen not so angry.

The queen closed her eyes, "Yu'er, don't forget, you are the one who will inherit the throne in the future, the queen mother does not allow anyone to hinder you, what you love or not, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is power, you know?" ”

"Yes, the son listens to his mother."

Only then did the queen help Zhou Chengyu get up and say, "Yu'er, don't blame the queen mother, the queen mother is all for your good." ”

"My son understands."

"In this way, how about you take that woman into the palace tomorrow and let the queen mother take a look?"

Zhou Chengyu was surprised for a moment, but he was more worried, "What does the queen mother want her to enter the palace?" ”

The worry and hesitation in Zhou Chengyu's eyes all fell on the queen's eyes, she only felt very uncomfortable, and that feeling was like she was betrayed again. 22 Literary Network

"Just look at it, if it's a sensible person, the queen mother will allow you to take her as a concubine." The queen said with her anger encouraged.

Zhou Chengyu had no choice but to agree, "Yes." ”

The queen nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhou Chengyu retreated, and the queen looked at the back of Zhou Chengyu leaving, sat down on the chair, and suddenly felt endless sadness in her heart, whether as a wife or as a mother, she was a failure.

Zhou Chengyu came back with a serious matter, standing at the door of his study, he could see the tip of Qixia Pavilion, and Zhou Chengyu couldn't help but move there.

When the maid assigned to serve Jiang Rongrong saw Zhou Chengyu coming, she immediately stopped dozing, hurriedly stood up and said, "Second prince." ”

Zhou Chengyu frowned and said, "Didn't you let you serve Miss Jiang?" Why are you dozing off here? ”

The maid hurriedly replied, "Miss Jiang said that if you want to be alone and quiet, let us listen to the instructions outside." ”

Zhou Chengyu walked upstairs, the door of the room was ajar, Zhou Chengyu didn't see Jiang Rongrong's shadow through the crack in the door, so he said, "Miss Jiang is here?" ”

There was no echo in the room, Zhou Chengyu raised his voice and called twice, but still no one answered, Zhou Chengyu suddenly panicked, he didn't care about pushing the door open, but saw that the window was wide open, Jiang Rongrong was lying on the soft collapse under the window and sleeping soundly, she curled up slightly, lying quietly.

Zhou Chengyu walked to her side, listening to her faint breathing, he couldn't help but pull away a smile, Jiang Rongrong shrank for a moment, and he immediately took off his coat and put it on her.

As soon as the clothes covered Jiang Rongrong's body, she woke up, and for a while, the two looked at each other, and the two seemed to be able to feel each other's accelerated breathing.

Jiang Rongrong hooked the corners of her mouth, she sat up and said, "Why did the second prince come in without making a sound?" Rong Rong slept deeply, and she didn't know when the second prince came. ”

Zhou Chengyu smiled and said, "I called you outside the door, but I couldn't hear the answer, so I rushed in." ”

Jiang Rongrong's slender fingers rubbed against the clothes she was wearing.

"Now that the weather is cold, how can you still sleep like this? What should I do if I catch a cold? Zhou Chengyu said with concern.

A gust of wind came out, blowing Jiang Rongrong's hair and blowing a corner of her veil, her face was half-hidden, extremely sultry.

The second prince is so concerned, Rong Rong ...... I was grateful, I just wanted to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard here, and by the way, I sat and waited for the second prince to come back, and I never wanted to fall asleep. ”

Zhou Chengyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Wait for me?" ”

"yes."

The corners of Zhou Chengyu's mouth rose, "What are you waiting for me to do?" If you feel bored, let the maid who serves you come up and talk to you.

"Bystanders...... Naturally, it is not as good as the second prince. Jiang Rongrong said softly.

Zhou Chengyu's heart stagnated, and the autumn breeze blowing on his face became much more comfortable, and a burst of warmth rose in his heart.

"If it's not hot today, why is the second prince still sweating so much?" Jiang Rongrong raised the handkerchief and wiped it on Zhou Chengyu's forehead.

Jiang Rongrong's hand touched Zhou Chengyu's skin intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Chengyu was motionless, he was reluctant to feel this comfort.

"Okay, if the second prince doesn't dislike it, this handkerchief will be given to you." Jiang Rongrong said.

Zhou Chengyu looked at the veil, the silver material, soft and slippery, he took it, and the fragrance on the veil penetrated his nose.

"It smells so good."

Jiang Rongrong's red lips under the veil hooked, such a precious spice, of course, fragrant.

"Rong Rong, would you like to stay here?" Zhou Chengyu asked.

Jiang Rongrong's fingertips gently entwined her hair, and her name for herself changed, she nodded, the gentleness in her eyes was like water, "Yes." ”

Zhou Chengyu was very satisfied with this answer, he took Jiang Rongrong's hand, "Okay, if you want, I'll take you into the palace tomorrow." At this time, Zhou Chengyu was completely like an infatuated ordinary man, and his suspicious personality on weekdays disappeared at this time.

Jiang Rongrong was in a trance, and she muttered, "Will you always do this to me?" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Chengyu was categorical.
