Chapter 1179 Lost

Zhou Shuren asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's your complexion?"

The emperor held out his hand to Zhou Shuren to see, "It's dyed, doesn't it look real?"

Zhou Shuren stared at the emperor's hands. They were really meticulous. The color of his hands was the same as his face. "Your Majesty, you put on this makeup to come to see me. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The emperor's eyes were filled with joy. "Today I invite Shuren to dinner."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the emperor is just pretending. Actually, the emperor really trusts him and now he doesn't hide many things from him, such as the source of opium last time. "Then I will not be polite."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You're welcome. Someone will pay for it."

Zhou Shuren, "."

Zhou Shuren could not wear his official uniform as it would attract too much attention, so he changed his clothes before getting in the carriage with the emperor and leaving the Ministry of Accounts.

In the carriage, the emperor asked, "How has your second grandson progressed recently?"

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "This child is a responsible person. He knows his responsibilities and studies hard every day. He will listen carefully even if he doesn't like the lessons."

Your Majesty, "It is indeed a good one."

I thought he was a noisy child whose temper could not be controlled. But the news I got showed that this child is indeed hardworking. If the emperor agrees with Yu Yun, then Zhou Shuren is indeed good at educating children.

The emperor added: "Since the road was built, the capital has become more prosperous and lively."

"Yes, the people are very grateful to the emperor. They are grateful that you ended the chaotic times and created a prosperous era step by step."

The emperor was proud. He had let many people down for the sake of his country, but he dared to say that he was worthy of the people. He patted Zhou Shuren's thin shoulders and said, "This is also Shuren's contribution, and it will be recorded in history books."

The emperor feels that he is lucky. Zhou Shuren has influenced his thinking and brought many good policies. It is the accumulation of step by step that has led to the current situation. Therefore, Shuren wants to look after the country and the prince for him.

The carriage arrived at the restaurant. Zhou Shuren got off the carriage first and helped the emperor down. The two of them went upstairs to the box. The emperor might not have seen this face many people, but many people recognized Zhou Shuren's face.

The owner of this restaurant recognized him and came in personally to entertain him. He said, "This time the emperor is treating us." He gestured to Zhou Shuren to order the dishes. Zhou Shuren didn't hesitate, as it would have been too fake to be polite to the emperor at this time.

Moreover, the older the emperor gets, the more he seeks truth, and I hope he can be more truthful.

After ordering the dishes, the emperor signaled the guard to go out, then he slowly poured the tea and drank it.

In the window box, Rong Enqing was standing by the window and said in surprise, "It really is the emperor, but why does the emperor look so pale?"

Gu Ren had been beside Rong Enqing the whole time. He had just carefully sized up the emperor. His face was indeed pale, but he was in good spirits. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Gu Ren was in a good mood. "As people age, their bodies are more likely to have problems. However, you can see that the emperor is still in good spirits. If you are worried, you can send more. The emperor will definitely like it."

Rong Enqing, "You are right. The last time I saw the emperor, he also mentioned it and asked me to go in more, saying that it would be more energetic."

Gu Ren said excitedly, "Yes, the emperor's health is important, you can't be careless."

Rong Enqing's eyes were filled with sarcasm. He brought Gu Ren here on purpose today, not letting him see the emperor in person. How could Gu Ren feel at ease? "Drink, drink. I want to thank you here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been valued by the emperor. He wouldn't have said that it was all your credit that allowed me to go to the Maritime Affairs Department."

Gu Ren was very happy in his heart, "What's our relationship? It should be like this."

In another private room, Prince Qi was holding the hand of the beauty, which was sent up from below. The beauty was just pleasing to the eye, and he just wanted to take her into the palace. Prince Qi got a headache when he thought of the princess. The princess was so arrogant. The two legitimate sons had to live a comfortable life, and Prince Qi felt quite regretful.

In Zhou Shuren's box, the emperor signaled Eunuch Liu to make some adjustments, and then Zhou Shuren opened his eyes.

It's just the sound from next door, "."

King Qi, there is still the voice of a woman persuading you to drink!

Zhou Shuren turned his head to look at the emperor, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating. As long as there was delicious food, it would be good to eat with your mouth. As for his ears, he didn't bring them today.

The emperor snorted. His sons could not hide anything from him. Next door was the Prince of Qi's private room. The structure was simple. Rong Enqing and Gu Ren had dinner in this room last time.

As the King of Qi drank, his back felt cold and his hands trembled. He always had a bad premonition.

Prince Qi recalled carefully that the princess had returned to her parents' home today, so she should not be the princess anymore. Moreover, even if the princess made trouble in the palace, she would not chase him outside. As long as he did not bring women into the palace, the princess would not care.

So who is it?

The Emperor didn't eat much on Zhou Shuren's side, but he saw that there were not many dishes left. He stared at Zhou Shuren's stomach and said, "You said you were skinny, but you can eat a lot."

Zhou Shuren pointed to his head and said, "I am a mental worker and I use my brain a lot every day. Look at my hair. Since I entered the Ministry of Revenue, my hair volume has been decreasing. I must eat more and take more supplements."

The emperor smiled and said, "What a twisted logic."

"That's not nonsense. What I said is the truth."

The emperor liked chatting with Zhou Shuren. Sometimes he found some words novel and interesting. "Have you finished eating?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "I'm done eating."

The emperor nodded and motioned for Eunuch Liu to go out. Then the door of the box opened, and the Prince of Qi appeared with his beauty.

Zhou Shuren, "."

This was all premeditated. The emperor was going to act out his rage, and it looked like he was going to vent his anger on Prince Qi. Fortunately, the emperor didn't want him to cooperate with the performance, but just invited him to be an audience member. However, for the sake of stability, the emperor would not get angry at him.

The King of Qi was stiff, and his scalp was numb when he saw the machine was turned on. "I have seen the emperor before."

Your Majesty, "Prince Qi is really free."

The King of Qi lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Well, he was free.

The emperor snorted, "Raise your head."

The King of Qi was startled when he looked up. He had not dared to look directly at his father when he first came in. Now he looked at him and asked, "Father, why do you look so bad?"

The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "I am fine, are you blind? Why, do you wish I was not fine?"

King Qi was startled. In the past two years, the old man had been very good to them, his own sons. Now he suddenly got angry. He knelt down quickly and said, "I dare not. I won't."

"Nothing. I see that you are quite courageous and you have a lot on your mind."

Prince Qi's heart twitched. What on earth could his father say? "My son is not thoughtful. Please understand."

Zhou Shuren looked at King Qi with sympathy. Your father has to put on an act. It's hard for King Qi. I guess King Qi will have psychological trauma whenever he sees a beautiful woman in the future.

The emperor drew his beard, looked at Zhou Shuren, and coughed.

Zhou Shuren immediately withdrew his gaze and knelt down with a look of fear on his face.

emperor,"."

Lost!
