Chapter 232 After Rebirth, the Young Lady Will Marry a Dandy Man (45)

On the 15th day of October, the streets are filled with joy. There are all kinds of flowers and food on the streets. Girls, who seldom go out, put on new clothes, dress up pretty, and go shopping hand in hand.

While the streets were filled with joy, the palace was even more lively.

The banquet was hosted by the current Queen Qin.

Qin was the second empress of Emperor Minghuang. The first empress was Meng, the mother of Zhou Zimu.

Meng was the legal wife of Emperor Minghuang when he was still a prince. Although the relationship between Emperor Minghuang and Meng could not be said to be particularly deep, they always respected each other.

Meng and Emperor Ming had only one child, Zhou Zimu.

As the only legitimate son, Zhou Zimu should be the most likely to ascend the throne...

But about ten years ago, Meng suddenly fell ill, and he never recovered from the illness until his death.

It was for this reason that when Emperor Ming saw Zhou Zimu, he thought of the Empress and felt sad, so he sent him to a distant border town to gain experience.

At first, there was much discussion and disbelief.

However, the Emperor Ming was always concerned about the situation of Zhou Zimu who was far away in the border town. As time went by, everyone gradually believed that the Emperor Ming really doted on Zhou Zimu.

Shen Ci found it funny.

Who can't show superficial concern? If the Emperor really favored Zhou Zimu, how could Zhou Zimu have such a hard time now?

Look at Xu Li again. He is well protected. Everything is planned by someone.

The current Empress Qin is the mother of the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

Qin married Emperor Minghuang before Meng, but her status was not high enough at the time, so she could only become a concubine.

Qin was more fertile than Meng; after all, she had two sons while Meng had only one.

Having these two sons is the best guarantee for her status.

As long as you keep quiet, maybe you can become the queen.

This was Qin's original idea, and now it seems to have come true.

Because of the importance of this banquet, Qin did not dare to relax at all and asked everyone to do their best in every aspect.

At three quarters past noon, Zhou Zimu brought Shen Ci, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and entered the palace.

The Emperor Minghuang's mother passed away a long time ago, so now in the palace, there are only a few concubines of seniority.

But these concubines are not of high status, so there is no need to care about them. All you need to do is go to the Queen's Palace and pay your respects to her.

After entering the palace, the carriage had to run for a while, and Zhou Zimu also spoke to Shen Ci: "Almost everyone knows your identity."

Shen Ci nodded, not surprised. Who could easily sit in the court?

As long as the women in the palace are good and have a high status, wouldn't they have some connections?

Therefore, Shen Ci was not surprised that his identity was known to everyone.

"My mother passed away. After you married me, she was the one who took care of the funeral on my mother's behalf. But she refused to take on this responsibility because she knew your identity and felt that..." Zhou Zimu suddenly stopped talking.

Shen Ci knew what he wanted to say and helped him complete the sentence: "Do you think I am a refugee and unworthy?"

Zhou Zimu nodded: "Yes, so when the time comes, don't take anything she says too seriously, and don't be too attentive to her. You can just say hello with me and leave."

"What if she wants to stay?" Shen Ci asked her.

"Probably not..." Zhou Zimu frowned. Before he finished saying "no", he felt that maybe it was really possible...

Doesn't Qin want the throne for her son?

It is impossible not to think about it.

She has worked so hard to get to this position, why wouldn’t she want to?

Therefore, if they wanted to, they would find a way to deal with him.

In their eyes, A-Yan was a refugee who was the easiest to control, and they would definitely want to take advantage of her.

Shen Ci saw his expression and knew that he had thought of it. She raised her hands and stretched her waist: "What should I do then?"

"I'll stay with you." Zhou Zimu said after thinking for a while.

"If it's just women chatting, you will definitely leave." Shen Ci said.

"I..." Zhou Zimu was about to speak, but Shen Ci patted his shoulder.

She turned her head to the side and stared at him. There seemed to be stars in her crescent eyes. "Don't worry too much. I'll fight them. I'm not too afraid of them. I know how to fight."

Zhou Zimu then remembered that, yes, she knew martial arts, so there was no need to worry too much.

"But they are very scheming, so you have to be more careful." Zhou Zimu pinched her wrist and said.

Shen Ci looked at his hand, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The carriage finally stopped, but it was not parked in the empress's bedroom, but in a yard near the palace gate. Carriages were not allowed to run in the palace, for fear of disturbing the emperor.

Shen Ci and Zhou Zimu got off the car, got on the sedan chair, and were carried all the way to the Queen's bedroom.

In the Queen's bedroom, they saw the sedan chair placed in the courtyard, and Shen Ci knew that she and Zhou Zimu were not the first to arrive.

"Prince You and Princess You are here!" The eunuch who reported the event shouted at the top of his voice, while bowing to Shen Ci and Zhou Mu.

Shen Ci and Zhou Zimu walked into the main hall. Inside the hall, on a luxurious chair in the center, sat a luxurious and graceful middle-aged woman.

Sitting on the chairs below were two pairs of men and women. The two men looked somewhat similar to Zhou Zimu.

But Zhou Zimu is much more handsome than them.

Walking to the center of the hall, Zhou Zimu lifted his robe, knelt on one knee and saluted Empress Qin: "I salute the Empress."

Shen Ci followed him, knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the Empress."

"Xiao San is here. Child, your mother is gone, and I am your mother. Why do you always call me 'minister, minister' and 'empress madam,' 'empress madam'?" Empress Qin raised her hand to stroke her hair and said with a sigh.

"Although my mother is gone, she is always in my heart. I hope the Queen will forgive me." Zhou Zimu said.

"Oh, forget it, forget it. No one can forget their mother, and I am no exception. But what should my daughter-in-law do with you? She could have called herself my daughter-in-law, but now she can only call herself my wife, which sounds so ugly." Qin turned her gaze to Shen Ci.

This was the first time she had seen this girl since Zhou Zimu married his first wife.

On the surface, Yan Yun's escape from marriage seemed peaceful, but secretly, everyone knew about it.

Qin was very happy for a while because Zhou Zimu was so outstanding.

He was good at studying and martial arts, and knew almost everything. This made Qin, who had two sons but neither of them was as good as Zhou Zimu, jealous.

How many times had she sighed and lamented why she had never given birth to a child as outstanding as Zhou Zimu.

But outstanding people will indeed be envied by heaven.

Zhou Zimu is crazy, the kind of crazy that cannot be cured.

Whenever she thought of this, Qin felt happy.

After all, if Zhou Zimu didn't have this madness, he would have become the crown prince now.
