Chapter 152: Dinner

Today, Emperor Jingwu Zhou Ruiwu, sitting in the first seat, leaning back slightly on the seat, closing his eyes to recuperate, the years and hard work have left some traces on the face of this middle-aged man, although the supply of skin care products in the palace is continuous, but the sideburns still give birth to a trace of hair.

However, even the dazzling hair could not hide the majesty between the eyebrows of this emperor, his majesty was already subdued when he was still the king of Zhenwu, let alone he had been the emperor for sixteen years now.

The two maids stood quietly on either side, rubbing his shoulders lightly.

The three princes sat on the left hand side in turn, and from front to back were the eldest prince, the third prince Zhou Wenyu and the second prince.

As for the emperor's right hand, there is a cold-faced woman in plain clothes, at first glance, this woman's face is very similar to Zhou Chuxue, and the meaning of coldness is even more the same.

This is the current queen - Empress Jingru.

Hearing Zhou Chuxue's footsteps, Emperor Jingwu slowly opened his eyes, showed a hint of a smile and said, "Been out for so long again?"

Zhou Chuxue bowed, sat behind Queen Jingru, nodded, and did not speak.

Most of her thoughts were now on Zhou Liuyun, and after dinner she was going to go to the Judgment Office.

"Sister, where is Liuyun, why didn't I come with you?" Zhou Wenyu asked curiously.

If you carefully observe the sitting posture of the three princes, you will find some clues, although the three of them are their own brothers, but there is obviously a vigilance between each other's eyes, especially between the eldest prince and the second prince, the two have almost no eye contact, once their eyes meet, there will be a faint cold light, after all, not everyone will take the initiative to give up the throne like Zhou Wenyu.

However, Zhou Wenyu was the most comfortable sitting between the two, and the two princes whispered to him from time to time, which was rare in the past.

There is no other reason, just because the matter of Zhou Wenyu's reluctance to give up the throne and his reluctance to practice earlier today has reached the ears of the two princes, and both of them were surprised and relieved, but soon brought another problem.

Zhou Wenyu does not fight for the throne, the three-legged situation that could be formed in the DPRK will no longer appear, and the competitors will only be left with each other in an instant, which will undoubtedly directly intensify the struggle between the eldest prince and the second prince, and more importantly, although Zhou Ruiwu does not participate in the battle for the throne, he is the prince after all, and if either party can win him over, it will definitely be a big help.

Zhou Wenyu may not be of much use in his own right, but don't forget that there is at least one Empress Jingru behind him.

So both of them couldn't help but want to take the initiative to win over Zhou Wenyu, but Zhou Wenyu was pure and flawless, he just thought that the two brothers were in a good mood today, where would they think of such a thing, so his response to the two of them was almost the same, which made the two more and more anxious.

Zhou Wenyu and Zhou Chuxue are the closest, and when they saw Zhou Chuxue appearing, they naturally couldn't help but speak, and they didn't see Zhou Liuyun, so they had the question just now.

"Zhou Liuyun, who is that?" Emperor Jingwu asked with interest, he was not in much interest today, but Zhou Chuxue rarely returned to the palace once, and he didn't want to put on a face.

Before Zhou Chuxue could answer, Zhou Wenyu preemptively said: "Back to my father, that is the righteous brother recognized by my sister, and it is also my righteous brother!"

"Oh?"

As soon as Zhou Wenyu said this, not only Emperor Jingwu and the other two princes, but even Empress Jingru, who had always been indifferent, also looked at Zhou Chuxue with a puzzled face.

Zhou Chuxue frowned, she didn't want to mention this matter, but Zhou Wenyu said it innocently and brainlessly, and it was impossible to hide it now, wouldn't it be a crime to bully the king if she continued to hide it? Not to mention that she wouldn't do that.

So she nodded and said, "Yes, Liuyun is an orphan I rescued when I went out this time, and when I saw that he was pitiful, I recognized him as a righteous brother and brought him back to the palace." ”

The faces of the eldest prince and the second prince did not seem to change, but a glimmer of light flashed imperceptibly in the eyes of both of them.

Compared with Zhou Wenyu, the eldest prince is more burly and has heavy troops, and the second prince is deeper in the city, and many civil servants in the court are looking at him.

These two people have fought from small to big, no matter when it comes, no one will accept anyone, and no one wants to lose.

Although Zhou Wenyu is also a prince, he has never been valued by the two, and what they are even more afraid of is the princess Zhou Chuxue.

Because whether it is cultivation talent or status in the country, Zhou Chuxue is enough to crush the two of them.

Fortunately, Zhou Chuxue is a daughter, otherwise what is the matter with the two of them on the throne? So if there is anyone in the entire Eastern Zhou State who wants Zhou Chuxue to get married as soon as possible, it must be the two princes, and once a woman gets married, she will no longer be a threat.

Therefore, when the two heard that Zhou Chuxue would recognize a righteous brother, they couldn't help but have some thoughts.

Emperor Jingwu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "As a princess, how can you recognize your righteous brother at will?"

It's not that Emperor Jingwu doesn't really dislike Zhou Chuxue's behavior, but he also knows that Zhou Chuxue's current sensitive identity age, any man who gets too close to her will be pushed to the forefront in an instant, although the righteous brother is nominally a younger brother, but there is no blood relationship, what is it accurate?

Besides, that Zhou Liuyun can make his daughter willing to recognize him as a righteous brother, which is an unusual thing in itself.

Almost instantly, Emperor Jingwu's impression of Zhou Liuyun was not good, and it almost came down to the level of "roundabout pursuit".

Empress Jingru suddenly spoke, her voice as clear as a stream on a snow-capped mountain: "I heard that there was a person arrested in the Chang'an Academy later today, and that person seems to be called Zhou Liuyun." ”

Zhou Chuxue was shocked, but her face was still silent.

However, Emperor Jingwu's face was already gloomy, would he not know where the ruling office was, the ruling office would not arrest people for no reason, that Zhou Liuyun was arrested as soon as he came to Chang'an, it was really not a good thing!

I want to seduce my daughter!

Emperor Jingwu said in a deep voice: "What evil thing has this son done, has it hurt you?"

Zhou Chuxue shook her head and said lightly: "Liuyun is not a bad person, my father doesn't have to worry, I will personally interrogate him after dinner." ”

Emperor Jingwu's heart jumped.

Not a bad guy?

This kid has some ability, he can let his daughter maintain it like this?

It's so big, Emperor Jingwu hasn't seen who Zhou Chuxue will maintain!

Probably every father would be like this when he first heard that a man was close to his daughter, even if he was an emperor.

"This son may be a ruthless and cunning person, just leave it to the adjudication office for interrogation, what are you going to do?" Emperor Jingwu said unhappily.

Even Zhou Wenyu could feel the unkindness in Emperor Jingwu's tone, although he didn't quite understand why his father didn't like Zhou Liuyun, but he at least knew that he shouldn't disobey Emperor Jingwu's intentions at this time.

However, Zhou Chuxue inherited her mother's temper, ignored the unkindness in Emperor Jingwu's tone, and said lightly: "Father, this person was brought back by me, and if something happens to him, the child is naturally responsible for interrogation, the child has already decided, and I hope that the father will not persecute the child." ”

Emperor Jingwu's thick eyebrows were upside down, and when he was about to have a seizure, Empress Jingru beside him spoke.

"Ruiwu, don't worry, I'll go with Chuxue after dinner. ”
