"She shouldn't be in the palace now, right?"
"Well, I heard from Your Majesty that Duoduo seems to have gone to the Nanqing Mission under the orders of her master."
"Oh, then there should be no problem."
Haitang Duoduo is a ninth-level master. She was mentored by him last year and also practiced his Ruyi Jin. In almost a year, she must have reached the ninth rank. Looking at the world, she is also the top master.
.
Si Lili started looking for a topic again: "I left, what happened to Zuixianju?"
"Not so good. Zui Xianju is no longer the only one in Liujing Riverside."
"Then have you ever been to the Liquid Crystal River?"
"After you left, you passed by a few times, but you never went in again."
A hint of joy flashed in Si Lili's eyes, and she asked: "Why don't you go? Don't you like the new oiran over there?"
Zhou Chen said casually: "It's nothing, I just don't find it interesting and don't want to go."
Si Lili showed a happy smile. Although she knew that Zhou Chen might not be all because of her, she was willing to think so.
"you……"
Zhou Chen didn't stay with Si Lili for too long. Soon he said goodbye to Si Lili, went to Zhan Pianpian's dormitory, said something to Zhan Pianpian and left the palace.
It is naturally difficult to live in the palace, so the place Zhou Chen chose to live was naturally Zhuang Mohan's mansion. He was already used to living in this old place.
Zhuang Mohan was naturally very happy and welcomed Zhou Chen's arrival.
After not seeing each other for two months, Zhuang Mohan was in a very good state of mind. After seeing Zhou Chen, he didn't even bother to look at him for a long time, and rushed into his study with Zhou Chen.
Zhuang Mohan's study is a study in the true sense. In addition to books, there are also books. There are all kinds of books on the bookshelf, on the table, and on the floor.
"Zi Heng, the two books you gave me are really great, especially the 'University' book. Although it doesn't have many words, the thoughts and meaning it contains are immeasurable. It..."
Zhou Chen listened patiently to Zhuang Mohan's narration. Zhuang Mohan was indeed a literary giant. In a short period of time, he had thoroughly studied these two books and realized a lot of his own truths. Just because he had promised Zhou Chen before
Don't spread it widely, so I am researching it alone. Now that I have rarely seen Zhou Chen, I want to say that there are too many things to ask.
"The Analects of Confucius" and "The Great Learning", these two works, even thousands of years later, are still widely circulated and have far-reaching significance.
In a feudal society like Qing Yu Nian, the importance of these two works is self-evident.
Naturally, Zhou Chen would not dissuade Zhuang Mohan. He accompanied Zhuang Mohan to discuss and research. The two of them discussed from Xu to Zi. If Zhou Chen had not insisted on taking a rest and discussing again tomorrow, Zhuang Mohan might have been able to pull it off.
Talk to him all night.
However, he was also very happy to see that Zhuang Mohan was in such good spirits. What happened to Qingguo and his party was obviously in the past for Zhuang Mohan. Now he devoted all his energy to exegesis and scholarship.
In terms of research, this is also his favorite career.
People are happiest when they can continue to study in their favorite career.
While Zhou Chen and Zhuang Mohan were discussing the meaning of the classics, in the Northern Qi Palace, the young emperor Zhan Doudou and Si Lili fell asleep together.
In this feudal society, men dominate, and there are many dignitaries who are masculine, but women in high positions and who are feminine are definitely rare.
Although Zhan Doudou and Si Lili are the emperor and concubine in name only, they have known each other for many years and are both women. When they sleep together, it is really just sleeping with no other additional activities.
"Lili, what do you think of Zhou Chen?"
Suddenly, Zhan Doudou asked a question. Si Lili didn't know why Zhan Doudou asked, but he still answered truthfully.
"I have been with him for a while. His reputation in Kyoto, Qing Dynasty, is not very good, but in fact, he is a very gentlemanly person. Even when facing a woman in a brothel, he will not look down upon him.
I won’t take advantage of others casually, unlike those stinky men.”
Zhan Doudou chuckled: "Speaking of this, I'm also surprised. For a beauty like you, he didn't do anything to you. Instead, he redeemed a geisha. It's really interesting."
Si Lili also looked helpless. Although there were various reasons, she was actually a little unhappy in her heart. After all, she was also an oiran by the Liujing River, but Zhou Chen did not redeem Sang Wen.
"Like other men, he also likes beautiful women and good wine, but he can restrain himself better than others. I think he is a very reliable man. When you are around him, you don't need to consider anything else. As long as you trust him, you will be happy."
enough."
"On this point, your thoughts are exactly the same as those of the imperial sister. You both have great trust in him. For you to trust him so much, it seems that he is indeed a reliable man."
Zhan Doudou counted Zhou Chen's advantages in detail: "There are not many men who are versatile in both civil and military affairs, sincere in treating others, trustworthy, reliable, and handsome."
"Li Li, I suddenly had an idea in my mind, do you think it's feasible?"
"What?" Si Lili didn't know what Zhan Doudou meant.
Zhan Doudou put his hands behind his head and said slowly: "You also know my situation. Now that I have not taken office, many people are already considering my marriage. Letting you be a noble concubine is a last resort.
Just to stop those people's mouths; you and I know everything about each other and trust each other, but if it were someone else, it would be impossible to trust each other like us. This is also the reason why I am unwilling to establish a queen and expand the harem. My identity
It must be kept secret.”
"But if you don't establish a queen and don't have a harem, there are advantages and disadvantages. It's okay now, but as I get older, if I have nothing to do, it will lead to instability in the court."
Si Lili also understood this truth, but she really couldn't help with this kind of thing. The two women couldn't give birth to a child.
"If it doesn't work out, I can adopt one from the clan in a few years."
Zhan Doudou said disdainfully: "How can other people's children compare to my own."
Si Lili sensed something was wrong. She sat up from the bed and looked at Zhan Doudou in surprise.
"Then what does your Majesty mean?"
Zhan Doudou didn't answer, but after a while, he suddenly said: "What do you think, I have a child by myself?"
"ah?"
Si Lili was confused. How could he give birth to himself?
Zhan Doudou ignored Si Lili's shock and continued: "Only my children and my blood can continue my legacy."
"But, how could your Majesty give birth on your own? Could it be that you found someone else? But if this is discovered..."
Just thinking about it, Si Lili couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was so amazing and scary.
"Then don't let anyone find out that you are not my noble concubine. Just pretend that my child was born from your belly, so that no one can doubt anything."
Si Lili was frightened: "But, but I, I..."
Zhan Doudou's idea was too crazy. She wanted to cooperate with Zhan Doudou, but if someone exposed her, she really couldn't imagine the consequences.
Zhan Doudou suddenly sat up.
"I have a very suitable candidate for the father of my child, and I also have a very perfect plan. Zhou Chen is a great master and an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. If he is combined with my bloodline, he will definitely be able to give birth to a child with outstanding talents. As long as he is a
The prince can stop the mouth of the world."
"Ah? Zhou, Mr. Zhou?"
Si Lili's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face. She thought her playmate was too crazy just now, but now that she heard that she had actually set her sights on Zhou Chen, she was even more shocked and her head was buzzing.
Dare you imagine how Zhan Doudou came up with such a thing?
Zhan Doudou felt that his idea was perfect: "I think there is no one more suitable than Zhou Chen. Don't you also like Zhou Chen? Let's choose Zhou Chen. You go get close to Zhou Chen and get him. I will follow
You cooperate and find an opportunity to borrow his body and blood to conceive my child."
"There's no need to worry about any flaws. As long as you and Zhou Chen are both pregnant by then, we will both be pregnant at the same time, which will make it easier to cooperate."
"Li-Li, do you think my plan is perfect?"
