Su Rong and the King of Southern Chu waited until it was completely dark, and Su Rong was hungry, so they waited back to Zhou Gu.

After Zhou Gu returned to the palace, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he came to the Qinzheng Palace, and saw that Su Rong and the King of Southern Chu had been waiting for him for a long time, and hurriedly apologized, "Father-in-law, Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

"What's the delay?" The King of Southern Chu looked at him, "When Lone left, I asked you to come back on time." ”

Zhou Gu nodded, "I was supposed to go down on time, but I was stopped by a few adults and chattered for a while." He explained, "Regarding Xiao Qi's treatment of the King of Liu'an and the first line today, many people were very suppressed, probably to see that I was good to talk to, and took the opportunity to probe my tone, after all, the Ming'er Dynasty will be well prepared." ”

The king of Nanchu was not surprised, "In this way, then hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" ”

Zhou Gu nodded, immediately went to wash his hands, and after a while, sat down beside Su Rong.

Su Rong took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Zhou Gu's forehead, "You were in a hurry to run back?" What's the hurry? It's a big deal, my father and I are hungry, so we can eat a few bites of pastries to make up for it. ”

Zhou Gu enjoyed Su Rong's action of wiping his sweat for him, "I went to the Ministry of Rites today to find out that the Ministry of Rites was really busy because of the handling of your and my wedding, when I left, even Lao Shangshu couldn't leave on time, if I don't come back at dinner time in the future, you and your father-in-law don't wait for me." ”

The king of Nanchu was dissatisfied, "Didn't you say that you would eat with me every day?" You didn't even make it to the day. ”

Zhou Gu sighed, "Father-in-law, I'm young, I can't go down to the government every day before Lao Shangshu, right?" You can't eat a vegetarian meal in a corpse position, and seek a place in its political leaders, right? You have made me the squire of the fourth grade, and I have a position with Brother Guixue, I can't rely on my identity and leave early every day. ”

"If you leave the government on time, what is it to leave early?" The king of Southern Chu disagreed.

"But let everyone in the family rites department spend half a year busy with work that should be done in a year or two, and I, the main master, if I leave early, I won't be able to convince the public." Zhou Gu tugged at Su Rong's sleeve.

Su Rong immediately said: "Well, yes, if you can come back on time in the future, you will come back on time, if you can't come back on time, let someone send you a meal to the Ministry of Rites, and it doesn't matter if you come back later." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the king of Nanchu, "Father, if you have time and want him to eat with you, you can go to the Ministry of Rites to accompany him to eat." ”

King of Southern Chu: "......"

This is said as if he is inseparable from his son-in-law.

Zhou Gu smiled, "Father, don't go, after you leave today, Lao Shangshu muttered in a low voice that you can be regarded as leaving, saying that you have been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and he has to accompany you, which really affects the work." ”

King of Southern Chu: "......"

No wonder the old man hurried him back to the palace.

Su Rong laughed, "No wonder my father didn't let go of the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he is obviously a practical person." Seeing that the king of Nanchu was silent, she seemed to be very speechless, so she said: "I thought about it wrong earlier, once this is busy, it is really not good, but with me, my father can rest assured, if I am also busy and do not come to the Qinzheng Palace, you can go to me, what will be the imperial study in the future, the council hall, as long as it is in the palace, our father and daughter can still eat together, as for Zhou Gu, he went to the Ministry of Rites outside the palace, you don't force it." ”

What else can the king of Nanchu say, "Okay, I can't say anything about you." ”

Li He took someone to arrange dinner, and the three of them had a dinner with a smile, mainly because Zhou Gu was talking about being on duty in the Ministry of Rites today, and asked Su Rong what he had done today, and he heard her say that he had slept for a long time in the afternoon, and he looked at Su Rong several times.

Su Rong looked at him, "Are you jealous that I can sleep lazily, or do you think that I can't sleep as hard as you?" ”

Zhou Gu had finished eating, put down the chopsticks, and touched her head, "I'm praising you, stealing half a day of leisure, very good." ”

"yes, otherwise Ming'er will be busy." Su Rong accepted this compliment as a matter of course.

After dinner, it was not early, and Ming'er had to go to the morning court, so the two left the Qinzheng Hall and returned to their residence.

After the two left, the king of Nanchu muttered in a low voice, "Lone knows that the Phoenix Palace built at the beginning was built for his grandson." ”

Everyone is a man, so he never thought that Zhou Gu would be able to abide by the rules after returning to the palace. When I heard that he had to abide by the rules, I still felt that I was worthy of being a descendant of the Protector's Mansion, but I didn't expect that he didn't pass overnight, and I overestimated him. is a descendant of the Protectorate Mansion, and he can't resist the fact that he is a man.

Li He whispered: "I didn't hear yesterday that Wang Nu and Thursday Gongzi asked for water at night. ”

The King of Nanchu glared, "You actually inquired about the matter of the Feng Palace?" Who gave you permission to inquire in private? ”

Li He shouted wronged, "Your Majesty, it's not the old slave who wants to investigate, it's the princess and the prince who returned to the palace for the first time, and many things have to be handled by the old slave together, and the old slave can't do it if he doesn't want to know." ”

The king of Nanchu thought about it, "In the future, you are not allowed to let people inquire about the things in the Phoenix Hall and the Phoenix Palace." ”

"Yes, the old slave is measured, you must keep it in mind." Li He nodded hurriedly, "All the affairs of the palace will still be taken care of by the queen in the future, and the old slave will only serve the king." ”

"That's not good, you still have to keep an eye on Nangong Xin more." King Nanchu said: "In addition to the Phoenix Hall and the Phoenix Palace, the rest are also staring more. ”

Li He understood, "Yes, the old slave obeys the king's orders." ”

The King of Nanchu sighed, "Hey, it's about being a lonely old man, or maybe it's a lonely little eye, it's not as generous and kind as Xiao Qi." ”

Although he knew in his heart that Nangong Xin should not make trouble, he was inevitably wary of her, for fear that he would suffer disadvantages in the future because of his daughter's soft-heartedness.

Li He has seen it clearly over the years, "Your Majesty, you may have been really worried, although the queen hates you, she really hasn't done anything to harm you all these years." ”

The king of Nanchu waved his hand, "Okay, Lone doesn't want her to be confused, don't talk about her, you just pay more attention, Lone is going to rest." ”

Li He nodded and hurriedly waited for the king of Southern Chu to rest.

On the way back to the Phoenix Palace, Su Rong and Zhou Gu whispered a brief recount of the meeting with Nangong Xin this morning, and mentioned that the phoenix seal would be returned to her, and the jurisdiction of the six palaces in the future would be continued.

After she finished speaking, she said to Zhou Gu: "Originally, before I met her, I didn't plan to let her continue to be in charge of palace affairs, but after meeting her, I temporarily changed my mind. ”

She didn't really dislike Fengyin, so she temporarily pushed it to Nangong Xin, she boasted that she didn't have a bad eye for people, and Nangong Xin gave her the feeling that she didn't hate her, nor did she hate her father, and she didn't care much about the current fate of the Nangong family. There was a strange calmness in her, and the calmness of death made her say a lot to her without bothering to say a lot to her, and she also made the decision not to deal with her like this.

Zhou Gu nodded, "You see people very accurately, since you do this, it is necessary for her to let you do this." ”

Su Rong smiled and grabbed his arm, "Well, I'm not a good person either, but I can live a life, and I can reduce the burden on the underworld!" ”

Zhou Gu smiled, "Then Lord Yama probably has to thank you." ”

"But it's not, just rush to the ghost gate and don't accept me a few times, I accumulate virtue and do good, and I should." Su Rong was poor for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still sleep with me today?" ”

Zhou Gu paused and gritted his teeth, "Follow." ”

Su Rong laughed, nodded at his heart, and teased, "Thursday boy, perseverance is not enough." ”

Zhou Gu grabbed her hand and inhaled, "Master can bear it." ”
