Chapter 238 The Crown Princess is Unofficially Determined
The three of them left. Zhou Tangtang became anxious. She was very conflicted now. Should she chase after her brother or protect her mother?
It was hard to stand there, not knowing where to go.
She probably understood what her mother meant. She didn't like the capital, but she didn't want to give it to Zhuge Dan's daughter and grandson for nothing. She also wanted to stay by her father's side to intimidate Zhuge Dan and his gang.
The princess watched her son and future daughter-in-law leave and walk out of the palace. She did not dare to give up the position of queen.
It's not that she is greedy for wealth, but she is Zhou Xiaocheng's wife, and with this position she can also protect her children.
Tears were falling, but he didn't take a single step.
Zhou Tangtang felt sorry for her mother and her younger brother, and was afraid that her younger brother might be in danger.
Finally, she couldn't help herself and said to the princess: "Mother, I am an unfilial son. I really can't let go of Jingchen and the county lady. I'm sorry!"
The princess nodded: "Don't worry about me, I have my own way."
Zhou Tangtang kowtowed to Zhou Xiaocheng and said, "Father, I am an unfilial son and cannot serve you in my presence!"
Zhou Xiaocheng said angrily, "You want to leave too? Very good, go away if you want to. The rebellious son is right. The last thing I lack is children."
He turned around, looked at the princess and said, "Is this the child that my beloved concubine has taught? They are all good at disobeying their parents."
The princess laughed sarcastically and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. Your Majesty sent Jingchen to someone else as a hostage since he was a child. I cried so hard that my eyes were almost blind. How could I have taught him?"
"As for Tangtang, what's wrong with her loving and protecting her brothers? After all, Jingchen is His Majesty's only legitimate son. Tangtang has nothing but merit in protecting him."
Now that her children were gone, the princess stopped shedding tears and put on her armor.
The struggle in the court is more cruel than that in the palace, and she has to cheer up for the sake of her son and daughter.
Zhuge Dan forced her children away, so she had to find a way to kill his daughter and grandson openly.
Who doesn’t know how to be ruthless?
Zhou Xiaocheng was so angry and humiliated by the princess that he left in a huff.
The princess looked at Zhuge Dan and said, "Master Zhuge, you have driven my two children away. Are you very proud of yourself? You can be proud of yourself slowly!"
Zhuge Dan was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat and gritted his teeth in hatred. He had to find a way to kill Zhou Shaoyu immediately. Without his son, the princess would be at the mercy of others.
Zhou Huo was shopping outside with Su Zhe and little boy Xie Yusheng.
Su Zhe is already 12 years old, and Xiao Baozi is now 5 years old. However, Xiao Baozi was very young when he left Kyoto, so he doesn’t have a clear memory of the capital, but Su Zhe remembers it very clearly.
They revisited the old place and went back to their original residence.
There are new people living in their original homes.
When the houses were confiscated and the people were exiled, all these mansions were returned to the public. Later, the court bestowed new officials, so these mansions and courtyards all had new people.
They are completely homeless.
Su Zhe started crying on the street.
The little boy was crying too. He hadn't seen his grandfather and aunt for almost a day.
When Xie Yanyan and Zhou Shaoyu came back and found them, they saw the two of them crying and Zhou Huo was trying hard to comfort them.
Zhou Shaoyu hugged the little kid, wiped his tears and said, "Why are you still crying? Did Zhou Huo bully you?"
The little kid hugged his neck and said in a baby voice, "Our mansion has been occupied by others!"
"Then let's discuss with them about buying it for Ah Sheng?" Zhou Shaoyu asked Xie Yusheng, "But now do you want to stay in the capital or be with your mother?"
The little bun naturally chose to be with his family.
"So even if we buy these mansions, we can't live in them. Besides, our home in Xiecheng is so big, the whole city belongs to us!"
Xie Anfeng took the little bun over and said, "Grandfather gave Ah Sheng a very large yard. It will always belong to Ah Sheng. No one else can take it away."
With a tear in his eye, the little boy said, "Xiecheng is Ah Sheng's home. No one can occupy Xiecheng."
"Yes, Ah Sheng worked hard to learn skills and protect his home."
"I want to become very big and strong, very smart, and as capable as my aunt, so that I can protect my aunt, my grandfather, my father, my mother, and my sister..." The little boy spread his hands as wide as he could, as if the wider they were, the stronger he would be.
Well, from now on, the whole family will rely on little bun Xie Yusheng for protection!
A few people were walking on the street. Things and people have changed. The capital city today is much more dilapidated and desolate than during the time of Emperor Xuanwen.
There are very few people on the street. Business people don't dare to come to the capital. If it only depends on the people from the capital, there will be no bustle.
We bought some small things in some shops and happened to arrive at Wanghai Pavilion. Six of us, four adults and two children, entered the restaurant and someone came up to greet us immediately.
I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t been there for a few years or if the store has changed owners, but no one recognizes them.
Xie Yanyan couldn't help but look for the waiter who entertained her when she first came.
Didn't watch.
Yes, she had been gone for two years and the capital had changed emperors twice. Things had really changed a lot.
A few people found a separate room near the window, and the waiter came up and asked, "We have beef in the store today. Would you like some?"
Zhou Shaoyu asked, "What are your signature dishes? Tell me the names of ten of them."
The waiter signed up with a quack.
Zhou Shaoyu asked them to serve the food as soon as possible
The two children were very excited. They stood in front of the window and looked outside. Although it was not as prosperous as it was a few years ago, the capital city still had its foundation and the two children found it novel and interesting.
"Sister, sister, look at that carriage, it's exactly the same as yours." Su Zhe shouted.
The little bun also said, "Aunt, that carriage looks a lot like yours."
A two-wheeled carriage was driving from west to east. The horses were snow-white horses, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.
There were more than a dozen guards around the carriage, leading the way in front, following behind, and guarding on the left and right.
Xie Yanyan also stood at the window and watched.
Just then, the waiter came over to serve appetizers and said, "This is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Zhuge's residence. I heard she is going to be the Crown Princess."
"?" Xie Yanyan looked at him, "Hasn't the crown prince been crowned yet?"
"Isn't it a matter of time before the crown prince is appointed? Miss Zhuge Liangliang has been designated as the crown prince's consort since she was young. Now she is the crown prince's consort. Shouldn't she be given a share?"
After the young man finished speaking, he said confidently, "Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest lady entered the palace as soon as the prince returned."
The waiter went down to serve the dishes. Xie Yanyan looked at Zhou Shaoyu, who spread his hands and said, "Xie Yanyan, I have no idea what's going on!"
The little boy didn't know what was going on, nor did he know who the prince was because his aunt never told him.
Su Zhe knew it, and he looked at Zhou Shaoyu angrily: "Now that you are the crown prince, you want to marry another woman?"
Zhou Huo absolutely believed in his master. He immediately said, "County Lady, I think someone is deliberately spreading rumors. The prince has lived in the capital since he was young and has not been back for ten years. How can he be engaged? This is a rumor spread by the people."
Xie Yanyan could also figure it out, but the little bun exploded all of a sudden.
"Are you a bad guy now?"
Zhou Shaoyu hugged him: "I am not a bad person, it is the bad people who spread rumors that made me a bad person."
The little boy refused to let him hold him, and moved closer to Su Zhe, asking, "How bad is he?"
Su Zhe: "He is the crown prince now, and the person in the car that just passed by is his crown princess."
No wonder the cars are exactly the same as my aunt’s!
The little bun panicked: "What about my aunt?"
"He doesn't want my sister anymore and secretly married someone else!"
The little boy's eyes welled up with tears and he asked Xie Anfeng, "Grandfather, is this true?"
Xie Anfeng neither admitted nor denied it, saying, "Children should not interfere in adult matters. Grandfather will ask about it."
That could be true!
"Wow~" The little bun cried loudly, holding a plate and throwing it at Zhou Shaoyu, angrily cursing: "You bad guy, liar, your whole family has no conscience..."
