Chapter 53: Good News
"What conditions? The mourners have agreed! "As long as the Zhou family can be saved, the Empress Dowager Zhou can compromise.
"The queen mother must not interfere in Yongjia's marriage in the future, otherwise I will not spare the Zhou family!" Xiao Junyan said his request bluntly.
Empress Dowager Zhou was very surprised, she didn't expect Xiao Junyan to put forward such a condition, why can't she interfere in her daughter's marriage: "Jiajia is my daughter, and I won't harm her, why can't I interfere?" ”
"Because the queen mother loves the Zhou family more than me and Jiajia!" When Xiao Junyan finished saying this, his thin lips pursed slightly, and the corners of his lips rose, but the rest of his face was still calm, and the indescribable mockery was revealed on his face.
Empress Dowager Zhou's body was weak and she sat down on the chair, how could she not understand what her son meant. But what's wrong with the Zhou family, if Jiajia marries into the Zhou family, how good it would be to be close to each other!
"Queen Mother, the crime of cheating in the imperial examination is not small, do you think Zhou Jingyang can survive it?" Xiao Junyan's words implied a threat.
It's ridiculous that she and Zhou Zhenshan's wife only said something similar to another person a few days ago, and now when she faces it herself, she feels heartache like a knife.
"But ......"
Empress Dowager Zhou was speechless, and she didn't use any reason to persuade Xiao Junyan now.
"The queen mother must know that if it were an ordinary person, he would have been killed with a cane, but it was my own cousin and uncle! The queen mother should also understand that it is not easy for me. "The last few words Xiao Junyan wants to = bite the words very heavy, reminding the Empress Dowager Zhou.
"That's it, that's it! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! "Empress Dowager Zhou can't do anything but obey her son's arrangement.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou had completely accepted her fate, Xiao Junyan was angry and said the punishment for the Zhou family: "Zhou Jingyang cheated and disturbed the Spring Festival, he will be punished for never entering the examination room again, and he will be punished with a cane of thirty." Zhou Zhenshan had no way to teach his son, so he temporarily suspended his position in the army and taught his children well at home! ”
Such a punishment is not light, but it also means to let Zhou Zhenshan go. However, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she was still a little harsh: "Your uncle finally became a powerful man in the army, and it is not appropriate to remove your uncle from the position of commander at this time!" ”
Xiao Junyan laughed and asked rhetorically, "Is it inappropriate?" That makes Jingyang wander for three thousand miles? Or do you want to investigate thoroughly and detain your uncle with evidence? ”
Xiao Junyan's tone was fluttering, but it was heavily buckled on Empress Dowager Zhou's heart word by word, and she finally closed her eyes: "Just follow your idea!" ”
"Ah Yan!" Completely tired, Empress Dowager Zhou called her son weakly, looking pitiful. She has always been strong in front of her son, and rarely has such a weak time.
Timely submission is a method that Empress Dowager Zhou learned in her early years, but she didn't expect to use it on her son one day.
Looking at the ghost appearance of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Xiao Junyan was also a little soft-hearted: "The young man promoted by my uncle in the army is good, and he has the demeanor of Yue Qingfeng back then, I will take good care of him!" ”
"Ah Yan, it's not that the queen mother wants to embarrass you, it's just that the Zhou family is just starting out now, and they encounter such a thing, what can they do in the future?"
Xiao Junyan still remembered the Zhou family in his heart, just looking at his acquiescence to the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and letting Zhou Ping'er become Concubine De, he knew that he was still towards the Empress Dowager Zhou.
It's just that the Empress Dowager Zhou is now blocking Xiao Junyan's kindness to the Zhou family, and she is only worried about the future of Zhou Zhenshan and Zhou Jingyang.
"Queen Mother, I am the Son of Heaven first, and then your son! This time, the Zhou family's affairs will be like this! Since Ping'er has entered the palace as a concubine, I will not treat her badly, nor will I treat the Zhou family badly. ”
This can be regarded as a compromise by the Son of Heaven, and he will not really force the Zhou family to a dead end.
Empress Dowager Zhou took her son's hand and nodded, very satisfied with her son's words: "The mourning family also agreed to your conditions, I will not interfere in Jiajia's marriage, but the person she marries must also be in my palm." ”
Empress Dowager Zhou still has a place for children in her heart, and she can't just ask about Princess Yongjia's marriage.
"Okay, in the future, the Yongjia horse will definitely be the first to know after choosing the mother." Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou agreed to her conditions, Xiao Junyan was in a good mood, so she was naturally happy to coax the Empress Dowager Zhou.
The troubles of the Zhou family were solved, and Xiao Junyan was busy going to Yue Ling to beg for food.
Xiao Junyan said that she wanted to come over, but Yue Ling didn't really make snacks, she didn't have the heart to cook food at all. She was full of worries about the ending of Zhou Jingyang and Zhou Zhenshan.
Seeing that the Zhou family was unlucky, she was really happy.
So when Xiao Junyan really came to Xingqing Palace, Yue Ling was a little in a hurry: "Why did the imperial brother come over?" ”
"Didn't you say you'd like to eat the snacks you made?" Xiao Junyan was in a good mood, and wanted to reach out and scratch his sister's nose, but was avoided by Yue Ling.
"Brother Huang, how old am I, why do you still treat me as a child." Yue Ling touched his nose by himself, and there was some vague emotion in his eyes.
Xiao Junyan retracted his hand embarrassedly, and could only use the excuse of eating dim sum to relieve his embarrassment: "I'm hungry, what about the dim sum you made?" ”
"No dim sum!" Yue Ling looked at Xiao Junyan's appearance and decided to boldly ask about the situation of the Zhou family, "Cousin Zhou, he ...... Will it die? ”
She just asked what she really thought in her heart, Zhou Jingyang would have been killed with a rod if he had been replaced by someone else.
"Never allow him to take the exam, and he will be punished with thirty rods!" Hearing his sister mention Zhou Jingyang, Xiao Junyan was a little dissatisfied, but he would not show these emotions in front of his sister.
"Thirty rods?" Yue Ling felt that this punishment was too light, and glared at Xiao Junyan fiercely, "Brother Huang is too partial!" ”
didn't expect his sister to say this, Xiao Junyan felt that he was worried too much, and he was originally worried that his sister might intercede for Zhou Jingyang. Now it seems that my sister's vision is not so bad! The mood is instantly better.
"For scholars, never being able to participate in the scientific examination is the most painful thing!" Xiao Junyan also began to patiently explain the reason for his sister's disposition, "And I also punished my uncle, let him think about it behind closed doors!" Brother Huang, is this fair? ”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Junyan actually had the face to ask him if it was fair, Yue Ling snorted coldly: "Can this punishment satisfy the world?" My uncle's family went too far this time. ”
Yue Ling felt sorry in his heart, Zhou Zhenshan had broken the law like this, but he didn't expect to be safe.
"What? Is Jia Jia upset? Xiao Junyan looked at her sister's appearance, and her heart was also sullen.
Where did Yue Ling dare to be unhappy, she was not tense in front of Xiao Junyan at all times, for fear of accidentally smashing the performance: "No, I just think that the punishment of the imperial brother is too light!" For those who are seriously preparing for the scientific expedition! ”
Xiao Junyan thinks that her sister is the most upright person, but she is simple-hearted and has a clear distinction between love and hate. He wanted to teach his sister well, but now he still had to coax her first: "Brother Huang, there is good news here, do you want to hear it?" ”
