Chapter 595 Zhou Xinrou goes to the palace to question!
"Get out of the way!" Zhou Xinrou yelled.
The Royal Guards immediately displayed their weapons.
The sharp knife, shining with a cold light, pointed at Zhou Xinrou without any hesitation.
The latter's heart trembled.
How dare these people?
She is Shen Lanxi's mother.
"Our shoulders are the boundary. Anyone who dares to cross this boundary will be killed without mercy!"
Zhou Xinrou's heart was shocked again.
Doesn't she even have this little privilege here with Shen Lanxi?
"Princess, someone has gone to report it. Let's just wait a while!" The old woman was afraid that a commotion would really break out, so she quickly spoke up to give Zhou Xinrou a way out.
Shen Lanxi is such an unfilial person. When her own mother came, she wanted to be stopped.
Couldn't she have told the Imperial Guards in advance?
"Princess, you are too lenient to Shen Lanxi." The old woman whispered beside her.
Zhou Xinrou was furious. She was wrong. She should have entered the palace as the empress dowager when the world was conferred.
She shouldn't have believed Shen Lanxi's sweet words and should have cut off ties with the Shen family before the Great Ban.
Half an hour passed.
Zhou Xinrou's patience has reached its limit.
"Did the messenger go out to slack off? Why hasn't anyone come out yet?"
Even if Shen Lanxi didn't come out to greet her in person, Feng Nian should have come to pick her up.
It definitely doesn't mean leaving her like this at the palace gate.
The Imperial Guards only obey His Majesty's orders. He doesn't care if Zhou Xinrou yells at him. As long as he dares to cross the line, he will follow orders.
"Chen Lanxi, you are a disobedient and unfilial thing. How dare you let your mother be exposed to the sun at the palace gate? You are unworthy of being a daughter." Zhou Xinrou scolded angrily.
The Imperial Guards stared at Zhou Xinrou coldly. If it weren't for the fact that she was His Majesty's biological mother, they would have swung their knives at her when she angrily cursed His Majesty.
Your Majesty treats them like their second parents. Anyone who insults their parents will be killed without mercy!
The little eunuch hiding in the corner of the palace heard the commotion outside and immediately trotted over.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. His Majesty is in the Qinzheng Hall holding a meeting. When he sent us out, he said that no one could go in and disturb us."
"We are afraid of being beheaded. Please wait a moment. His Majesty will finish the discussion soon."
After hearing the explanation, Zhou Xinrou's anger increased instead of decreasing.
She had been sunbathing at the palace gate for nearly an hour, and now the eunuch told her that Shen Lanxi had not been informed yet?
It's fake, she doesn't believe it!
Shen Lanxi must have done it on purpose. Isn't she afraid that people all over the world will say that she is unfilial?
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, filial piety is more important than anything else. What made Shen Lanxi dare to go against the will of the world?
Could it be because of Shen Yuantang’s marriage?
Definitely.
Shen Yuantang made trouble again and again, but she still cared about the relationship between brothers.
After Zhou Xinrou learned the reason, her anger subsided a lot.
Shen Lanxi cares so much about the Shen family, and the Shen family is her weak spot.
As long as she can grasp these weaknesses, she can control Shen Lanxi.
"Go and tell His Majesty that I am here to discuss her sister's marriage with her."
Soon these words reached Shen Lanxi's ears.
"Your Majesty, let Cheng Zheng go!"
Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed and the corners of her mouth raised.
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Zheng rushed to the palace gate.
The eunuch introduced: "Princess, this is Cheng Shijun, one of His Majesty's two Shijuns."
Zhou Xinrou's face darkened. How dare Shen Lanxi let her male favorite come to greet her?
It's simply humiliating her!
"Princess, His Majesty has few people in the harem, and all harem affairs are managed by this Cheng Shijun."
If it were another gender, the one who would have such power would be the queen, the master of the harem.
Zhou Xinrou's face didn't look much better. Even if he was a member of the harem, he was still a man. If someone made up stories to discredit the relationship between the two, her reputation would definitely be damaged.
Hasn't Shen Lanxi ever thought about these?
Cheng Zheng first bowed to Zhou Xinrou, and then began to write.
Zhou Xinrou frowned tightly. Although she already knew that the two male favorites had physical defects, it was another matter when she actually saw them.
What on earth was Shen Lanxi thinking, keeping two mutes around her?
"Okay, stop writing. Just tell me, are you here to invite me to the palace?" She felt annoyed just by watching him writing so slowly.
Fortunately, the two mutes have no power, are physically disabled, and can no longer have children, so they can be kept for the time being to entertain us.
Looking at him like this, apart from being useful as a man, he can't be used to relieve boredom.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xinrou actually felt a strange emotion in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Lead the way!"
Cheng Zheng picked up a pen and paper and walked in front to lead the way.
Originally Zhou Xinrou wanted to find out what was happening in the palace, but when she saw Cheng Zheng like this, she gave up the idea.
After a while, the group arrived at the Qinzheng Hall.
After Cheng Zheng saluted Zhou Xinrou, he left. Zhou Xinrou didn't even glance at him for more than a month.
"Mother, an urgent report just came from the northwest. I urgently summoned the court officials to discuss matters and did not allow anyone to disturb me."
Zhou Xinrou also has spies in the northwest, and there has been no abnormality in the northwest recently.
"What happened in the northwest?"
Shen Lanxi led the people into the palace and said as they walked: "The succession of the Turkic dynasty has ended, and the new emperor wants to use our Great Zhou to establish his authority."
Is the Northwest going to be in chaos again?
Zhou Xinrou's expression gradually became serious.
"The Northwest has been mediating for several days, and the Turks took the opportunity to make a request."
"What request?" Zhou Xinrou asked hurriedly.
Dongchuan has not been pacified yet, and the Northwest cannot be in chaos again.
"Marriage! The Turks want to make a marriage alliance with our Great Zhou!"
Zhou Xinrou was stunned, surprise clearly visible on her face.
"What are you going to do?"
There was no one left in the previous dynasty, and even if there was, they were side branches. It was the best outcome that those people did not cause trouble, nor did they seize power, nor did they go to Zhou Ruyuan. If their daughters were sent to the Turks, it might cause conflict.
Shen family?
There are no girls of marriageable age in the Shen family.
unless…
"My daughter has said before that she will not marry into the Turkic clan." Shen Lanxi said forcefully.
Zhou Xinrou immediately showed an expression of disapproval on her face.
"Marriage between two countries is the norm. It not only deepens the relationship between the two countries and avoids war, but also deepens the trade between the two countries. Both sides can benefit. There is nothing wrong with marriage between the two countries." Zhou Xinrou strongly agrees with marriage between the two countries.
Shen Lanxi: "Mother, since ancient times, women who were married off to foreign countries have always had a bad ending. We cannot send a weak woman to die for the sake of the stability of the two countries."
Zhou Xinrou glared angrily: "What's wrong with exchanging a woman for the peace of the people of the two countries? Sacrificing one person can save countless people. If a war really breaks out, the soldiers of the two countries will die. Behind these soldiers are thousands of devastated families. For the sake of national justice, marriage is imperative!"
Shen Lanxi was silent.
Zhou Xinrou thought she was seriously considering the marriage, so she didn't say anything to disturb her.
After a moment, he spoke.
"Huang Yu sent a request for help to the court. Did the court receive it?"
