Zhou Chen slapped him down, and Zhou Rong accused him: "You have lied and deceived your father in front of the whole world. Third brother, you are still reasonable!"
"I'm just talking about the matter. I feel that the eldest brother is too much on the court. If the dignity of the court is damaged because of this matter, I don't know how the eldest brother plans to end it?"
There was endless noise outside, and the Queen's expression inside was also very exciting.
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "This competition is just a small test of skills. His Highness Chen Wang does not dare to face it head-on. I don't know if he will shrink from other things in the future. From my point of view, this is no longer a matter of fraud, but a matter of fraud." A matter of principle."
All he had to do was point at the Queen's nose and accuse Zhou Chen of not taking responsibility and shrinking back when something happened.
Even if the queen knows that her family is in the wrong, she can only speak for her own family.
"Being a king does not necessarily require talent. Chen'er is right. Being good at employing people is more important than doing things yourself."
Concubine Xian chuckled lightly, which made the queen feel dull.
There was a dispute between Zhou Rong and Zhou Chen inside and outside. Shen Moran took advantage of everyone's attention not being focused on herself and buried herself in eating the food in her bowl.
But she didn't expect someone to keep staring at her. Shen Mingshu looked over and taunted in a weird way.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rong and His Highness Prince Chen were in such trouble. Unexpectedly, in the end, His Highness King Zhan came out on top and stole the limelight. It seems that His Highness King Zhan has a strong body. This is a good thing. Sister, congratulations!"
Her words attracted everyone's attention. Shen Mingshu raised his wine glass and toasted. Shen Moran stopped eating and the maid next to her poured wine for her.
"It's not that His Highness is great, it's that before His Highness got sick when he was a child, he practiced riding and archery with the Lord Protector. Even though His Highness was sick, his skills in riding and archery never dropped... Thank you very much, sister."
She drank the wine gracefully. Shen Mingshu finished the wine with a look of reluctance, put down the glass and ignored her.
Others pondered her words. Zhou Zhan had been close to the Duke Protector since he was a child, and his riding and shooting skills had not declined over the years, implying that although the Protector had been in the northwest for so many years, he also valued him.
She was conveying a message that there was a protector behind Zhou Zhan.
Even if you want to step on Prince Zhan's Mansion, you still have to consider whether you have the strength!
Shen Mingshu obviously didn't understand, but the others were not fools. At this time, one more friend was better than one more enemy. It would not be a good thing for them to force Zhou Zhan to start a new business now.
"I would say that the seventh brother is a lucky one. Since marrying his younger brother and sister, the seventh brother's health has been getting better day by day. It is indeed worthy of congratulations!" Princess Rong raised her glass and said, "I'm here to join in the fun and give a toast to my younger brother and sister. ."
Shen Moran smiled shyly.
"After having this drink with my sister-in-law, I don't dare to drink anymore. This wine is very strong and I feel dizzy after just one drink. If I drink a few more drinks, I won't be able to watch the excitement in the afternoon!"
The queen winked at Bo Wanqing, and she also picked up the wine glass.
"Then let me respect my younger siblings too."
Others followed suit and toasted, and Shen Moran became the center again.
Shen Mingshu was puzzled. She didn't know why Shen Moran married a sick man and everyone still supported her so much. She also didn't understand that she and Shen Moran had the same origin and the same status, but everyone liked Shen Moran and treated her so much. Just a cold face.
She sat motionless, and no one else paid attention to her.
Shen Moran's cheeks were flushed, and she was filled with emotions. She was the one with such an embarrassing identity in her previous life. She was under pressure outside. After returning, she had to plan for Zhou Yu and win over the officials below. Shen Mingshu was enjoying Shen Mingshu's life in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Case Xing's blessing and Zhou Yu's favor...
After she helped Zhou Yu, she came to steal the fruits of her labor. Do you think that all she paid was to accompany Zhou Yu for a few more years... Now it's time for her to have a taste of it!
Outside, Zhou Rong and Zhou Chen were talking with guns and sticks. Emperor Yao threw his chopsticks angrily and scolded: "After today, you all kneel in the palace and kneel in the ancestral hall of your ancestors! Reflect on it!"
There was immediately silence outside. Wei Heyan helped Emperor Yao change his chopsticks, but he had lost his appetite. He stood up and said, "Why did I give birth to such rebellious sons like you!"
Emperor Yao coughed, glanced around his sons, and landed on Zhou Zhan.
From beginning to end, Zhou Zhan sat obediently at the end, his eyes full of worry.
He opened his mouth and gave instructions: "He Yan, go inside and call Concubine Jia to accompany me to the tower."
Wei Heyan responded, went in and called the concubine Jia out.
Zhou Rong and others hurriedly stood up to follow, but he stopped them.
"Don't follow me, I want to be clean and pure."
After a brief lunch, Si Yiluo waited at the door. Emperor Yao was about to go up to the tower, so she immediately called for a guard.
The weather today was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain, and the wind was very strong on the tower.
Jiang Yun asked her maid to prepare a cloak and help Emperor Yao tie it.
The supple appearance of the woman in front of him was very much like that of Concubine Jia. Emperor Yao was in a trance and blurted out: "Are you cold?"
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to meet Yao Emperor's eyes, and quickly looked away. Yao Emperor often showed this kind of tenderness to her that did not belong to her.
If Shen Moran hadn't solved the problem, she would have thought Emperor Yao liked her.
Later I realized that today, I only recall my old friends through her.
And she was used to the wind and rain in the brothel. Before entering the palace, she even got caught in the rain, and she had a very thorough understanding of relationships. She had no expectations in her heart, and only then did she understand what she wanted.
"I'm not cold, I'll help you."
Looking into the distance from the tower, you can see the mountains in the distance and the birds circling in the sky returning to their nests.
Back then, Concubine Jia accompanied him on the city tower to give guidance. At that time, he was not the emperor yet, and he was equally confused about the future...
Zhou Zhan's features look more and more like Concubine Jia, but since Concubine Jia entered the palace, no outsider has ever told him that Zhou Zhan looks like Concubine Jia.
When comparing the two people together, he also felt that they looked nothing alike, but Zhou Zhan looked more like him...
Could it be that he made a mistake?
Jiang Yun had never seen a military drill before, and was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. Seeing a shadow covering Emperor Yao's face, she asked: "Your Majesty, our army of the Zhou Dynasty is magnificent, and they protect it.
Protecting the world and protecting Shengjing City, do you have anything to worry about? Why do you look unhappy?"
Her simplicity made Emperor Yao relax, put her hand in his, and led her forward.
"I am the king of a country, but I am still a father. In addition to worrying about the affairs of the world, I also have to worry about my descendants."
"I will grow old and want to choose an heir from among the princes, but I am in a difficult position."
Emperor Yao is a human being, and he also has the desire to talk, but he is an emperor, and people will not easily see his happiness and anger.
Today, he sighed in his heart, and Jiang Yun happened to be by his side. As soon as he felt relaxed, he wanted to tell her what was on his mind.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has always had the system of direct eldest son. The property, land and genealogy of the common people's family are mostly handed over to the eldest son for inheritance. But my legitimate son is not long-term, and the eldest son is not the legitimate son."
"Choosing the eldest son to inherit the country cannot suppress the legitimate son's maternal family. If I choose the legitimate son to inherit, I am afraid that he will be too close to the maternal family, and if the maternal relatives are in power, it will be a disaster for the government and the people."
"Once I choose my legitimate son, the other sons will definitely compete for it. If there is a coup due to party strife, I will be the sinner!"
He said that Jiang Yun seemed to understand but not quite.
"Your Majesty, then why don't you just choose a prince from among all the princes who has a noble birth and outstanding conduct?" After she finished speaking, she realized that she had committed a taboo, knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am
You are talking nonsense, not to interfere in the government affairs and to ask for mercy from the emperor!"
