Chapter 65: Gentleness
Zhou Gao looked at the back of Yang Yi leaving, confused.
"This Yang Yi, flustered, why does it look weird?"
"Mother, is she Yang Yi? When the niece of the Empress Dowager Yang? ”
Zhou An's eyes lit up, staring at Yang Yi's back, reluctant to give up.
He wandered around Lin'an City all day and had heard of Yang Yi, but this was the first time they had met.
At this meeting, he immediately felt like a horse, and like Wei Jinyu, he couldn't resist Yang Yi's lethality.
"Don't look at it, don't think about it. She is the emperor's man! ”
Zhou Xiuniang looked at her younger brother with an obscene face and frowned.
"Second brother, I heard that you are still fighting crickets, and you often go out to pounce. Are there any of these things? ”
Looking at this expression, how could he be so confused when he saw Jia Rujin with the emperor.
"I ...... No! Don't listen to nonsense! ”
Zhou An's eyes were withdrawn from Yang Yi's back, reluctant to give up, and flatly denied it.
"What a blessing my brother-in-law has! Hugging left and right, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, it is really jealous! ”
"Shut up!"
Zhou Xiuniang immediately spoke before her mother got angry and stopped her younger brother from talking nonsense.
After two years in Lin'an City, even the emperor can't get used to it, it's really bold.
"These are all strictly forbidden by the imperial court, so you'd better quit quickly. If it reaches the emperor, he will not rub sand in his eyes. When something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
Seeing her brother's eyes flickering, Zhou Xiuniang knew that her brother was not telling the truth.
The imperial court implemented a new policy, prohibiting Guan Pu, and the uncle took the lead in gambling.
"Brother-in-law can be the emperor, doesn't it depend on our Zhou family? Just fight a cricket and pounce on it, who dares to touch me? ”
Zhou Anxin was weak and muttered in his mouth.
"(Hurry) Shut up!"
Zhou Xiuniang and her mother scolded angrily almost at the same time.
"Zhou An, if you talk nonsense like this again, I won't recognize you as a son!"
Zhou Gao glanced nervously at the palace maids around him, and his face turned pale.
"You all swallowed what you said just now, you know?"
The wealth of the Zhou family comes from the emperor's favor, his son Zhou Ping presides over the anti-corruption department, and his daughter favors the harem alone, which is extremely glorious. If the emperor heard the rebellious words of his youngest son, God knows what the emperor would think.
"Yes, ma'am!"
The palace ladies nodded yes together.
The emperor's mother-in-law is hot, who dares to chew her tongue?
"Stand down!"
Zhou Xiuniang waved her hand, the palace maids retreated, and Zhou Gao's face sank and reprimanded his son.
"The emperor ascended to the throne by his own ability, and he has nothing to do with the Zhou family. I don't want to hear that again. You want to die, die yourself, don't pull the Zhou family! ”
Zhou Gao scolded in a low voice with a dark face, Zhou An lowered his head and pouted, still unconvinced.
"You will know that I am spoken. The eldest brother followed the emperor to the north and south, and he was very majestic. Why don't you know that if you ask me to be an official to do something, I can do something too! ”
"Can you compare to your eldest brother? Your eldest brother is full of poetry and books, both civil and military, and thoughtful. What can you do? If you don't read well, you don't care about trading, and if you go to Jinling University, you are worried that you won't be able to pass the exam, so you don't dare to go. Give you an official to do, what should you do if you mess things up? ”
Zhou Gao's face was pale, and his voice became louder, and Zhou Xiuniang couldn't persuade him.
"Idle all day long, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, look at you, what else can you do? The face of the Zhou family has made you lose everything! ”
"I think you're just eccentric! Big brother is good at everything, I'm bad at everything, okay! ”
Zhou An couldn't hold his face, and he was annoyed and angry.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong? Anything is bad? ”
Zhao Hong, accompanied by the eunuch, walked over. Seeing the different faces of the Zhou family, he asked curiously.
Looking at his words and feelings, he also knew that Zhou An, the demon king of the mixed world, had made his mother-in-law angry.
"Your Majesty, it's nothing, it's a little thing."
Zhou Gaoshi hurriedly changed his smiling face.
Zhao Hong glanced at Zhou An, went over to pick up his son, and teased his son.
This gentlemanly brother-in-law, wine-colored and wealthy, in the flowery world of Lin'an City, the hero is short of breath, not to mention these rich and noble children.
"Your Majesty, there is something, say it, don't blame it."
Zhou Xiuniang's words made Zhao Hong stunned.
"Xiuniang, what's the matter, you just say it."
"Your Majesty, I asked people to tell the officials of the Ministry of Rites to include Yang Yi and Jia Bijin in the selection of concubines this time. I hope you don't get offended. ”
"Yang Yi? Jia Bijin? ”
Zhao Hong was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but see that white face in front of him, as well as a woman who was as soft as water.
These two women entered the palace, plus Zhou Xiuniang and Li Weiming, there is a group of four people in the harem, and they can form a table of mahjong.
Not to mention, there is also a jade bead with silky eyes and a graceful waist. Isn't this a great blessing for all people?
The blessing of all people, but you need a good body!
"Your Majesty, Yang Yi loves you, do you want her not to marry for the rest of her life? Besides, if you marry her, the relationship between you and the Queen Mother will also ease. The officials and magnates behind the Queen Mother will also feel at ease. As for Jia Bijin, it was chosen by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Zhou Xiuniang said with a smile, her face gentle.
Marrying Yang Yi can ease the relationship between Zhao Hong and the Queen Mother Yang Guizhi, and make Zhao Hong easier and have no worries, which is what she cares about the most.
As for some of Yang Yi's shortcomings, she selectively ignored them.
"The officials of the Ministry of Rites, good judges, their eyes are really poisonous!"
Zhou Xiuniang's words made Zhao Hong smile bitterly and sigh leisurely.
"Xiuniang, thank you for bothering about this. However, these things will have to wait until next year. You have to take care of yourself, and our children. ”
The king of a country, if there is only one concubine in the harem, it is not normal, either the monarch is incompetent, or the harem is dominant. The Ministry of Rites did this, spreading branches and leaves for the royal family, which was bright and bright, and it was also in line with the regulations, even if Zhou Xiuniang, the only seedling in the harem, had nothing to say.
It seems that Zhou Xiuniang's recommendation of Yang Yi is also a last resort, and she pushes the boat down the river.
He was just a little strange, how did Jia Bijin be discovered by the sharp-eyed officials of the Ministry of Rites?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know it myself."
Mother and younger brother are there, and Zhou Xiuniang is still a little embarrassed.
"Brother-in-law, you have a sister, why are there so many women around?"
Zhou An had a seizure of dissatisfaction, as if he was fighting for his sister.
"Presumptuous! The royal affair is related to the country. Is this what you should say? ”
Zhou Gao's face immediately sank and he scolded angrily.
This unfilial son dared to ask the emperor about his family affairs, and he became more and more unruly.
If she knew this, she wouldn't have brought this guy into the palace.
"Your Majesty, Zhou An is rebellious, please forgive your Majesty."
Zhou Xiuniang quickly knelt down and pleaded with Zhao Hong.
This bold younger brother, choosing a concubine is a state affair, how can he be a grass people to discuss in vain.
Zhao Hong is now prosperous, and she can't guess many thoughts, she seems to be amiable, but she seems to be ruthless, and the gentleman's heart is unpredictable.
