Chapter 107: Slap in the face
Syllable! The loud slap echoed in the palace of the Empress Dowager Li Wanzhen.
"My good emperor, you respect your mother so much?" Li Wanzhen drove all the palace people out of the palace. Lie Yurou also left the palace.
The little emperor Zhou Yubai didn't explain, he was just a child and didn't understand those big truths. Just know who is good for him and who is bad. Even if he did it again, he would still save Sister Jinse in the palace of his mother.
"Mother, there's no point in you doing this. You will push Uncle Wang farther and farther away. Zhou Yubai has seen Uncle Wang and Sister Jinse together with his own eyes, and that laughter can't deceive people. He had never seen Uncle Wang smile so heartily.
"I dig out my heart and lungs for whom, not for your country to be more stable. As long as your uncle marries your cousin, the world will still be yours. Otherwise, if one day the regent has a rebellion, how can we resist? Li Wanzhen painstakingly persuaded her.
Sighing lightly, Zhou Yubai really didn't want to say anything more to his mother.
After returning home from the White Crane Academy, the squire reported what happened in the palace to Zhou Zimu.
"Why do you report it now!" Zhou Zimu lost his temper rarely.
"You ordered no one to disturb at that time, and it was a matter of the imperial examination. The little ones didn't dare to disturb the prince at will. Shiwu knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Zimu.
Zhou Zimu waved his hand to let him leave: "After returning home, I will find a shadow to receive the punishment, and in the future, I will only need to talk about Jinse." No matter how big or small, you must report it as soon as possible. I don't want to say it a second time. ”
He turned his horse's head and headed toward the king's palace.
"Lord Wang, aren't we going back to the house now?" The waiter asked incomprehensibly.
"Go to the palace first, I want to have a good chat with the Queen Mother. Her hand was a little long. Zhou Zimu took the lead and went to the palace.
They rode after them.
As long as it is about Miss Jinse, the prince cares very much. As the prince's personal guards, they can't afford to make mistakes in this kind of thing again.
"What do you say! The regent is asking to see him now? "As soon as she cleaned up Zhuang Jinse and didn't succeed, the regent rushed to stand up for her. Even her own son is facing her, and the Queen Mother Li Wanzhen is in an unprecedented crisis.
This Zhuang Jinse is really annoying, she must be solved as soon as possible.
"Your Royal Highness the Regent, the Queen Mother is already resting. You can't just break in! "The palace people outside the hall couldn't stop Zhou Zimu at all.
With the closed door being vigorously pushed open, Li Wanzhen was taken aback.
"I don't know what the regent is doing when he is in such a hurry to break into my palace?" The Empress Dowager Li Wanzhen tried hard to put on an elder posture in front of Zhou Zimu. It's a pity that Zhou Zimu didn't buy it.
"I heard that my little girl was invited to the palace by the Queen Mother. She is timid and not very good at talking, if there is something wrong, the Queen Mother will take care of it. Zhou Zimu politely gave the Queen Mother a salute.
Seeing the other party's friendly attitude, the Queen Mother Li Wanzhen relieved her heart: "I won't worry about a little girl." ”
"The Queen Mother's magnanimity is our blessing. But I'm a scheming person, and I ask the Queen Mother to hand over the person who bullied Jinse today! Zhou Zimu changed his words and forced the Queen Mother to give an explanation.
Zhou Zimu's move saluted first and then soldiers, which caught Li Wanzhen off guard.
Wearing a mask, she couldn't see the expression of the regent Zhou Zimu clearly. But she heard a chill from Zhou Zimu's tone, if she didn't give Zhou Zimu an explanation today. I'm afraid he won't be reconciled.
The Queen Mother Li Wanzhen had no choice but to call people out.
The two palace maids walked majestically in front of Zhou Zimu and knelt at his feet. The two of them were originally favored palace maids in the Queen Mother's palace, and they were extremely skilled in bullying people on weekdays. I didn't expect to provoke the regent today.
"I'm fair, if you want to beat my people, I naturally won't let it go gently. Serving the text and serving the martial arts, the first touch is the girl's family. Zhou Zimu leaned back in his chair and said softly.
Shiwen Shiwu obeyed the order and walked out from behind Zhou Zimu.
One after another slaps rang out in the Queen Mother's palace. Li Wanzhen saw that Zhou Zimu was powerless to beat his own people.
Didn't I just want to teach Zhuang Jinse's girl a lesson, not only did she not learn a lesson, but she also entered the two palace maids. It's really shooting yourself in the foot.
I really can't bear to look at it anymore, the Queen Mother Li Wan really wants to leave.
"Where does the Queen Mother want to go?" Zhou Zimu asked knowingly, "It's not early, you really should have a good rest." I think after today's events, the Queen Mother won't casually invite Jin Se into the palace again, right? ”
"Not anymore." Li Wanzhen knew that she was not Zhou Zimu's opponent, and facing Zhou Zimu was not half beneficial to her.
The coming day is long, no matter how powerful the regent Zhou Zimu is, it is impossible to stay by that girl's side every day, there is always a chance to start!
The Empress Dowager Li Wanzhen, who was warned by Zhou Zimu, was divided a lot, and no one suddenly came to a tavern to invite Jin Se to the palace. The events of that day were also left behind by Jinse.
Now she has more important things to do!
She found that the business of only one tavern was getting worse and worse, and every time the meal was at its peak, the seats gradually ran out of seats. This can make Jinse anxious, because the seat problem is not solved. Every day she loses a lot of customers.
"Is it full again today? It's rare for the college to have a holiday. Qian Chengle brought his classmates and friends to a tavern for dinner, but was told that there was no place.
"I'm sorry, Chengle. Next time you come, tell me in advance, I'll leave you a private room. "Even my acquaintances don't have a seat to eat. Jin Se had no choice but to give Qian Chengle and them laughed.
asked Wang Xiaoer to make each of them a cup of milk tea to take away.
No wonder Tianxianglou always wants to buy a shop to expand the store, and it is a trouble for the business to be too good.
Space is limited, and stores need to be developed. Dijing City is said to be big and big, and small is also small. You can't open another branch in the Imperial Capital City, it's completely unnecessary.
Because of this, Jin Se had a headache and didn't even sleep well.
Yuyan asked her out to go shopping, and she dozed off in the carriage.
"What did you do last night, why are you trapped like this?" Yuyan pushed Jin Se, who was sleeping, "It's time to get there." ”
It turned out that in order to let Yuyan see the regent more, Princess Zhong specially asked Yuyan to come out to play with Jinse. Prince Zhong asked Yuyan to choose two sets of jewelry, and she was going to take Yuyan to various banquets held by the wives of various families.
After sleeping for a while, Jin Se finally regained a little energy. She looked at her friend, holding two flowers, one red and one green, and immediately came to her senses.
"It's so red!" Jin Se suggested to Yuyan.
"I think the green looks good!" Yuyan likes green, and she held the green flower on her head for a long time.
"The head flower is red, please!" As a modern person, Jin Se really doesn't want his friend's jade cigarette butt to wear green.
Seeing that Jin Se made herself wear the red one one one by one, Yuyan couldn't resist it, so she had to choose the red one. Still, she chose a set of jewelry made of emeralds.
It was almost time to get out of the shop, and the two of them were ready to try the newly opened ramen restaurant.
Because it was not far away, Jin Se and the others did not take the carriage, and chatted while walking.
"Oops!" Yuyan was suddenly bumped into by someone, and it was a little beggar in ragged clothes. With a dark face and big eyes, he looks younger than Qian Bao.
"Are you alright?" Jinse asked Yuyan, who shook his head and signaled that he was okay.
The little beggar did not apologize, turned around and wanted to run, but was picked up by the collar. "Let go of me!" The little beggar punched and kicked and struggled.
February did not let go of him: "Hand over the things." ”
It turned out that the little beggar had deliberately bumped into Yuyan's body just now and stole her money bag. February saw his theft and quickly caught him.
Unable to resist, the little beggar had to throw the money bag to the ground. The money bag embroidered with lotus flowers was exactly what Yuyan carried on his body.
Yuyan saw that the little beggar was pitiful, she didn't get angry, but took out a tael of silver from the money bag and gave it to the little beggar: "Don't steal again." Collect the money and buy something to eat. ”
"Thank you, miss." The little beggar got the silver and bowed to the jade smoke.
"If you help him like this, he will steal it because he is hungry when he runs out of money." Although Jin Se did not approve of Yuyan's behavior, she was touched by Yuyan's kindness. Decided to help the kid.
"What then? Does your tavern still accept people? "Yuyan wants to find a job for the little beggar.
Jin Se smiled and shook his head: "There is no shortage of people in the store for the time being, but I have thought of another good way." She squatted in front of the little beggar and said softly, "Do you want to eat enough in the future, and you can also get silver." ”
The little beggar nervously covered the silver in his hand, there were too many crutches on the street. He can't trust a stranger casually.
"It's okay, it's normal for you to be worried. My name is Zhuang Jinse, and I am the shopkeeper of a tavern. Now that I have a job, you can choose to trust me, or you can choose to continue to be your beggar. Our encounter is fate, and I don't guarantee that I will give you this opportunity next time. Jin Se's words made the little beggar hesitate.
He had nothing but this one life.
If you fight for your own fate, you may still have a chance to change, and if you unfortunately die for eighteen years, you will be a good man. He's had enough of being a beggar.
"I believe in you! Can you help me? The little beggar held Jinse's hand with his dirty hand, but Jinse did not shake it off.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Xu Hanlin." The little beggar has a nice name, which is the sustenance of his parents. His father was originally a gentleman in a private school, and his family was also good in the imperial capital.
But no one can avoid natural and man-made disasters, and once when he went out of the city, his father encountered a bandit and lost his life. The mother, who was too worried, went with her. He was left alone, and the clansmen saw that he was young and seized the house. With no deeds and no money, he had to live on the streets.
Now there is a hope ahead, and he looks forward to the future no matter what happens.
"Little Hanlin, we're going to get something to eat now. First of all, I will take you to freshen up and change your clothes. Jin Se really couldn't stand the smell on Xu Hanlin's body.
If you don't take Xiao Hanlin a bit, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the door of the ramen restaurant!
