Chapter 1275 Routine

Two days later, as soon as Zhou Shuren came to court, scrutinizing eyes fell on him. Zhou Shuren was very calm, as he was used to it in the past two days. As long as he stood still like a mountain, they would just look at him casually.

After seeing the little prince at the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren's mentality was a little broken.

The emperor waved his hand, "I'm back."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

Is the tone wrong? Also, did the emperor bring someone he shouldn't have brought here?

The little prince's eyes sparkled, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Shuren had a wooden face. Today he was wondering why the little prince who worked every day was not here today. It turned out that he was in the Ministry of Revenue.

After greeting, Zhou Shuren returned to his seat.

The Emperor smiled and said, "The little prince came to see me yesterday. He admires you very much, so I let him stay and brought him to the Ministry of Revenue."

He thought his eldest grandson was pretty good. He had discovered Zhou Shuren's worth at such a young age. It was obvious at first glance that he was going to be a good ruler.

Zhou Shuren sneered in his heart, it was obviously you and the new emperor who tricked him and used him to choose the most suitable master for the crown prince.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince can see me every day."

The young prince felt that Lord Zhou's smile was too fake. Thinking of what his father had told him, he looked away with a pang of conscience, as if three generations of their family had been oppressing Lord Zhou!

Pingzhou City, Mingyun, the eldest grandson of the Minister of Revenue, has not arrived in Pingzhou City yet, but those who know the news are already preparing, including the Zhao family, the prefect of Pingzhou.

If Gu Mingyun hadn't wanted to take the exam, there would have been a lot of invitation posts.

Jiang Du held a fan over his head and lay on a chair, feeling drowsy. "There haven't been two sunny days in the past few days. The rare sunny days are really suitable for rest."

Mingyun was not ready to read anymore, "The exam is over, we can't leave for a while."

The Zhou family lived in Pingzhou, so for the sake of his family he had to stay in Pingzhou for a few more days. He didn't feel bored, as he had gotten used to it, and it was also a good experience.

Jiang Du hummed, thinking of his grandpa and grandmother, and said, "My two cousins ​​are indeed talented. Grandpa wants me to ask for them to enroll in the Zhou family's clan school."

Mingyun didn't care about such trivial matters, "And then?"

Jiang Du smiled and said, "Then I want to ask my cousin and Brother Mingqing to say something."

Mingyun nodded, "Bring them here when we get back, and I'll take them to the clan school. We'll still have to go through the necessary procedures."

The Zhou clan's clan studies are still lenient towards family relatives. Their clan studies are for the family, so this is not a big deal.

Jiang Du thought about his uncles, who must have been scolded by his grandfather. In fact, the Jiang family is doing well now. The sons and daughters will have no trouble finding wives as their father's reputation has spread.

The betrothals of the girls in the Jiang family were higher than the others, which was a great success for the cousins ​​who wanted to marry into a wealthy family.

The two cousins ​​are really good at studying. In the future, the uncle's family will have sons to rely on, and will not only rely on their father. As the eldest son, he is thinking more and more, so several uncles asked him for help on behalf of his cousins, and he must help!

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye. The little prince became the follower of the retired emperor. Wherever the retired emperor went, the little prince would be there. The retired emperor liked to stay in the Ministry of Revenue, so Zhou Shuren saw the little prince more often.

Zhu Lan waited for Zhou Shuren to leave the government office and go home, with a wooden face, "Old Madam Wen came to visit us today. Tell me, this is all the Emperor's trick, and he has no intention of going back on his word!"

Zhou Shuren was also a little unsure, "I don't think he will regret it!"

Then, thinking about the little prince who had come to ask him questions with his textbooks these days, Zhou Shuren wanted to curse!

Zhulan had a bad feeling, "How do you get along with the little prince?"

Zhou Shuren, "...help the little prince answer his questions?"

Zhulan, "...By the way, I received an invitation from the Queen and will enter the palace tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren was a little panicked, "Really?"

"Truer than gold!"

Zhou Shuren was a little suspicious. The royal family had gone back on their word and were now trying to trick him. Thinking that the royal family going back on their word was commonplace, Zhou Shuren's dinner didn't taste as good anymore.

Inside the palace, the emperor was in a surprisingly good mood, and even ate half a bowl more rice for dinner. "Xuhao has grown very fast these past few days. He learned everything I taught him before, and today he was able to debate with me. Not bad, not bad."

The queen was also happy to hear this, "Your Majesty's teaching is good."

The emperor waved his hands, "No, it's not me. Xuhao's words in his debate were quoted from Lord Zhou. This child learned it from Lord Zhou."

The queen paused, "Master Zhou is a genius."

It's a pity that she can't be her son's teacher. If she had such a good teacher, she wouldn't have to worry about her son's future.

The Emperor looked at the Empress with his remaining eyes, "The Prince's master has been chosen."

The queen still felt regretful and said with a smile, "The emperor must have chosen the best."

The emperor nodded. In fact, he was not the best, but just the most suitable for the prince. The real good teacher was his father, and his father would guide the prince. Although Zhou Shuren was not a master, he could broaden his son's horizons.

The next day, Zhulan packed up after breakfast, took her two granddaughters to the palace in a carriage. Yushuang and Yulu were both engaged, so there would be no rumors even if they entered the palace.

Moreover, the Queen specifically requested that she meet her two granddaughters, which would be good for their future. Zhulan wished that she could have more such meetings. It would be even better if she could get the Queen's approval.

Zhulan arrived early, with the palace maid leading the way. As soon as she reached the door of the Queen's bedroom, she saw the concubines from the harem who came to pay their respects. After Zhulan and her granddaughter paid their respects, she met Princess Aruna. Well, today was her lucky day.

Zhulan counted the days and realized that the princess had already entered the palace for a few days. Time passed really quickly. It was obvious that the princess was rejected. Yes, this face was really lethal.

This princess is very cool. She was made a concubine right after entering the palace. If she hadn't had Concubine Liu before her, she might have been given another title.

When Concubine Liu saw Madam Yang, her face almost twisted uncontrollably, but luckily she managed to calm down. Now the whole capital was saying that Master Zhou would be the prince's master, and her son was completely overshadowed by the prince. She took a deep breath and smiled, "Madam Yang, these are the two daughters of this family."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Yes, these are my eldest and second granddaughters."

Concubine Liu's eyes fell on the girl with rounder cheeks. "If I remember correctly, your second granddaughter is engaged to the Wang family?"

Zhulan, "Yes."

Before Concubine Liu could say something, the lady-in-waiting from the Queen's bedroom came out. Concubine Liu closed her mouth, nodded, and left.

Concubine Liu left quickly, but she was thinking about the Wang family. Old Master Wang was still in the court, and his eldest son had also entered the court, and he was also a relative of the Zhou family. She said to the female official beside her, "Go back and choose two pieces of jewelry. When Madam Yang leaves the palace, give them to Madam and tell her to give them to the two young ladies."

The female official received the order and left first.
