MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 278 No matter how bad your temper is, this face is enough
Chapter 278 No matter how bad your temper is, this face is enough
The carriage that Zhou Mu was riding in soon entered the palace, and the people who followed secretly turned the way and went to Qin Wangfu to report to Zhou Xing.
"Entered the palace early in the morning?" Zhou Xing was thoughtful.
Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion, what is Zhou Mu doing in the palace?
"And Master Zhang Yin personally welcomed Lord Zhou into the palace." The spies said again.
Zhou Xing stared at the front for a long time: "Prepare the carriage, the king will enter the palace immediately."
He wants to see what kind of important business his father has, and insists on seeing Zhou Mu on New Year's Eve.
Zhou Xing entered the palace at the fastest speed and headed for Qiankun Palace.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Qiankun Palace, Emperor Chengde was not here, and Liu Qing was nowhere to be seen.
He went to the Hall of Qinzheng again, but Emperor Chengde was still nowhere to be seen.
The strangest thing was that he searched several places where Emperor Chengde might go, but he couldn't find anyone.
Later, he simply went to Yankang Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw him coming, she seemed to have something to say: "Do you have something to say, kid?"
"Does the imperial grandmother know where the father is? Just now the grandson went to greet the father. No one knows where the father has gone. Did the father greet the emperor today?" Zhou Xing asked directly.
"The emperor came early in the morning and disappeared after paying his respects. Today is New Year's Eve, and it is rare for him to be free. The emperor may go to the harem for a walk." The Queen Mother did not doubt Zhou Xing's question.
Zhou Xing was concerned about the fact that Emperor Chengde had ordered an audience with Zhou Mu alone, so he tried without a trace: "My grandson heard that my father met Zhou Mu today. Can the grandmother know the origin of Zhou Mu?"
The queen mother was surprised when she heard the words: "What did the emperor order to see Mr. Zhou today? The emperor really respected Mr. Zhou, but it's strange that he ordered him into the palace because of the New Year's Eve."
Zhou Xing also looked dazed when he saw the Queen Mother, and knew that he couldn't ask why.
This trip was a waste of time.
After leaving Yankang Palace, Zhou Xing went to Ganquan Palace.
Along the way, I met many royal family members, and they all rushed to the palace to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.
As soon as Concubine Xian saw Zhou Xing, she dragged him to talk for a long time.
After seeing Zhou Xing winking, Concubine Xian ordered the other attendants to retreat.
Only his confidantes were left beside Concubine Xian, so Zhou Xing told about Zhou Mu's entry into the palace.
Concubine Xian has never met Zhou Mu, but she has heard of Zhou Mu's name more than once. It is said that Zhou Mu's appearance and bearing are very outstanding, and Emperor Chengde valued him.
But he was ordered to enter the palace on New Year's Eve, and he was also elusive, which really made people wonder what Zhou Mu's origin was.
"Have you searched everywhere your father went?" Concubine Xian asked.
"I have searched everywhere I can think of, but there is no trace of my father. I asked the servants of Kunqian Palace, but I don't know where my father went. Maybe only Liu Zhangyin knows why my father values Zhou Mu so much. "Zhou Xing then talked about Zhou Mu adding makeup to Gu Xiyan that day.
After hearing this, Concubine Xian's expression became serious: "It's just that she has such a big hand as an official in the court, which only shows that Zhou Mu's mansion is either rich or expensive."
"Erchen thinks the same way. The four boxes of gold cakes alone are not enough. How can ordinary people get so much makeup? Even Erchen can't get it out, so we know that Zhou Mu's mansion is very good." Zhou Mu Xing said his own perception: "I don't like Zhou Mu very much."
"Are you still thinking about Gu Xiyan?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly.
Zhou Xing said seriously: "What are you doing thinking about her? Soon I will be married to Chaoyan. My only concubine of Qin is Chaoyan. What is a Gu Xiyan? I hate Zhou Mu, and Xiyan It doesn't matter."
Concubine Xian looked at Zhou Xing's expression, and felt relieved when she saw that he didn't seem to be lying.
"You have to remember one thing, no one or anything is as important as the crown prince." Concubine Xian deliberately lowered her voice: "It's just a woman, when you come to the throne, do you want some kind of beauty?"
Of course Zhou Xing understands these truths. Recently, he didn’t think about Gu Xiyan any more, but he didn’t like listening to lectures, so he got up and said, “I’ll go to other places in the palace.”
"It's rare for you to enter the palace, so you don't spend more time with your mother and concubine?" Concubine Xian was upset.
The child never left his mother, since the child became king and moved out of the palace to live, he has become less and less close to her mother.
"I want to find my father and emperor again, and come to accompany my mother and concubine later." Zhou Xing said and left.
After leaving Ganquan Palace, Zhou Xing went to Qiankun Palace again, but there was still no sign of Emperor Chengde.
He didn't know, but Emperor Cheng De specially confessed that no one should reveal his whereabouts.
He just wanted to have a quiet reunion dinner with his eldest son, for the first time in twenty years, and no one should disturb him.
The palace was chosen by Liu Qing. It is relatively quiet, and there are not many people going in and out. It is even quieter when it coincides with the Chinese New Year.
"Is there anyone who has a reunion dinner so early?" Zhou Mu didn't have much appetite when he saw a table of dishes.
Emperor Cheng De sneered: "Isn't it just to accommodate you, an unfilial son?"
Zhou Mu was silent, "Actually, having a reunion dinner at this time is quite novel."
His words finally pleased Emperor Chengde, before the emperor could be happy, Zhou Mu said again: "But we still have to hurry up, I still want to go to the Hou Mansion to have a reunion dinner with Xiyan."
Emperor Chengde: …
Liu Qing couldn't help laughing at the side, feeling deeply sad for Emperor Chengde.
But only when His Majesty is in front of His Majesty, can His Majesty experience the happiness of an ordinary family. The other princes and princesses respected His Majesty more, treating His Majesty as a king rather than an ordinary father.
"You're quite busy, kid." Emperor Cheng De couldn't help but mock Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu sarcastically said: "Isn't dad also very busy? After this reunion dinner is over, there will be another reunion dinner."
Emperor Cheng De was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Zi Mo, does Xi Yan know this side of you?"
Zhou Mu was speechless for a while, unable to answer.
Emperor Cheng De patted him on the shoulder when he saw this, as if to comfort him: "It's okay, no matter how bad-tempered you are, this face is enough."
"Xiyan is not a person who only values beauty." Zhou Mu paused, and then asked: "Is my son's temper really so unpleasant?"
Emperor Chengde suppressed a smile: "I like it very much as a father, and I think Xiyan will like it too."
Zhou Mu knew that his father was comforting him, but he didn't take it seriously.
The big deal is to keep Xiyan from knowing his unpleasant side, what she likes, and what kind of person he will be in front of her, it is not difficult.
Just keep her from seeing the bad side.
Emperor Cheng De knew that Zhou Mu's drinking capacity was not good, and he was afraid that he would get sick, so he didn't dare to drink with him.
After the so-called reunion dinner, the two father and son didn't enjoy any family happiness, but instead fought with each other, poking at each other's pain points.
After the meal was over, Emperor Chengde's eyes were still wet as he watched Zhou Mu's tall figure go away.
Liu Qing knew how complicated Emperor Cheng De's mood was.
After all, it has been twenty years. This is the first time that I can have a reunion dinner with my eldest son on a day like New Year's Eve. Your Majesty wept with joy.
