Chapter 845: Long Nights and Many Dreams

Zhou Shuren was silent. He was just distracted. The emperor, please don't trick him. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he managed to keep a calm face and said, "I don't know."

The emperor hummed and looked away, "Do you have any other suggestions?"

Lord Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I think Lord Ning is the most suitable."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, this is really the case of one sitting at home and having things done from above. However, Lord Ning is indeed suitable, and he should be the candidate in the emperor's mind.

After the court session, Zhou Shuren slipped away first. Even though he didn't have long legs, he could run very fast if he really wanted to.

The eunuch who was ordered to go out and stop Lord Zhou was dumbfounded. Where was Lord Zhou?

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of War looked at each other, laughed out loud, and strode away.

In the Zheng Palace, the eunuch came back and said, "When I left, Master Zhou had already left."

Eunuch Liu waved his hand to signal him to leave, then went into the palace to report, "Lord Zhou left quickly and has already left the palace."

The emperor raised an eyebrow, "He's not tall, and his legs aren't long, but he runs pretty fast."

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and wanted to laugh. The emperor's truth was a bit hurtful to Lord Zhou.

The prince couldn't help laughing out loud.

The emperor said quietly, "Since it's not blocked, I'll send someone to run there later."

The emperor was speechless. He had never seen that Shen Yang would be so concerned about Zhou Shuren's granddaughter and fall in love with her at first sight. He had the nerve to say that.

The prince was also speechless. After dinner last night, Shen Yang spoke out. He was really stung by the tea. He also realized that Shen Yang had actually mentioned it to Zhou Changlian.

There was still resentment in Shen Yang's tone last night. He had learned Zhou Changlian's warning and was complaining to him!

Bah, he felt that Zhou Changlian’s warning was too light. If he hadn’t been afraid of rumors, Shen Yang would have been beaten long ago.

The prince waited for Eunuch Liu to leave, "Shen Yang doesn't want to marry Lord Zhou's granddaughter as his principal wife. He feels that he is old enough to get married, and Lord Zhou's granddaughter hasn't passed the imperial examination yet, which means he can't wait forever."

The emperor snorted, "This person is really incomparable. Rongchuan's status has also undergone tremendous changes, but look at Rongchuan, and then look at this person. He hasn't even entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion yet, but he's already so ambitious and wants too much."

The prince really didn't want to face Shen Yang, but he had to endure it!

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, and the eunuch in the palace arrived behind him. The eunuch said, "Sir Zhou, the emperor said that Miss Zhou's grandson is not young anymore. If you find a suitable one recently, you should decide on her. The fifth prince will move into the prince's mansion in a few days."

Zhou Shuren took out some silver from his purse and handed it to the eunuch, "The silver is good, please have some tea."

The young eunuch took it quickly and said, "Thank you, sir, for your gift."

Zhou Shuren waited for the eunuch to leave, thinking about the emperor's words. This was either a hint or an explicit statement. Shen Yang must have said something to the emperor or the prince. He thought Shen Yang would have to wait for a few days before speaking, but he never expected that he would speak so soon.

Well, this time the daughter-in-law doesn’t have to think about it anymore, just go with Gu Liufeng, and it has to be quick.

The fact that the emperor notified him shows that he thinks highly of him. If he fails to seize the opportunity and his granddaughter's reputation is ruined, that will be his own problem.

Prince's Mansion, Shen Yang, no, it should be Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang still had a headache. He drank a little too much yesterday. He recalled carefully what he had said. Encouraged by the alcohol, he mentioned Miss Zhou Jiasun. He frowned and said what he was thinking. Then he thought again, he is the prince, so he just said it.

What was the prince's expression at that time? It seemed like he had no expression at all. Did he really like Miss Zhou Jiasun? He liked her before, intuitively, because she was pretty.

Later, he was threatened by Zhou Changlian and he dared not mention it again, but he always remembered the shame in his heart. He used to think that he was marrying up into the Zhou family, but now his status as Zhou's granddaughter was not enough for him to be a legal wife.

In the past, the Zhou family thought he was unworthy, and now he is only worthy of being his concubine. He said this yesterday while drunk, but he doesn't know if it will work out. It should work out. If he is replaced, the emperor will feel indebted to him and will satisfy him.

At the Zhou family, Jianyan came back just after breakfast. Zhulan saw that Jianyan wanted to talk alone, so she got up and went out.

"My Lord said that Miss Yushuang's marriage has been decided."

Zhulan's heart tightened, "But what happened?"

Jianyan did not hide it, "Today, the eunuch in the palace sent a message saying that Miss Yushuang is not young anymore and it's time to get engaged."

Zhulan understood everything after hearing this. She had already figured it out and was thinking about telling her husband that night that it was settled now. This was also fate. "I understand."

Back in the hall, Zhulan had no appetite anymore and said to Zhao and Zhou Laoer, "You two stay here for a while."

Zhou Laoer's heart moved. Recently, his parents have been worried about Yu Shuang's marriage. Now they are left behind, it must be for Yu Shuang's marriage.

Chang Lian saw that his mother was in a bad mood, and his expression changed. "Mom, I want to listen too."

Zhu Lan saw that everyone was looking at her, and after thinking for a while, she realized that there was nothing to hide, "It's nothing, it's just Yu Shuang's marriage."

Chang Lian immediately thought of Shen Yang. His father had just left the court and sent a message to him, telling him that it was because of Shen Yang. He had not forgotten that Shen Yang had set his sights on Yu Shuang. His face was particularly bad. He thought that after so long, Shen Yang would not mention it. He underestimated Shen Yang's shamelessness. "Mom."

Zhulan raised her hands, "I know you're worried, no."

Chang Lian breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't true, but he was not happy in his heart. Yu Shuang's marriage must have been influenced by Shen Yang.

Because Yu Shuang was there and Ming Yun and a few others were there, Zhu Lan didn't say much.

After dinner, Zhulan left only Zhao and Zhou Laoer and told them about Gu Liufeng's conditions. "Your father liked Gu Liufeng. Your father and I thought about it for a long time and decided to marry this child."

Zhou Laoer was stunned for a moment, "Mom, there must be a reason why you are so anxious!"

Zhulan did not hide anything and told him about Shen Yang. She then said to Zhou Laoer, "You are a commoner. Your father didn't tell you many things. We did it for Yushuang's own good."

Zhou Laoer didn't have much contact with him, but he had his own considerations. He had always been worried about whether this prince was real or fake, especially with the attitudes of his father and third brother. Now he was rushing to arrange an engagement for Yu Shuang, and he didn't feel like he had missed out on wealth, but just felt a chill on his back. He had also heard a lot about Gu Liufeng. The young man was well-educated, had an uncle who was an official in the Ministry of Revenue, and worked under his father, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

Zhou Laoer said, "Mother, I have no objection. You and father can decide."

His parents really loved their child. If it was just for wealth, Yu Shuang would have been engaged long ago. He understood all this.

Zhulan looked at her second son. She was happy because he spoke from the heart.

Ministry of Revenue, Hu Xia had a somewhat unreal feeling, he knew that the Minister had a good impression of his eldest nephew, he didn't expect that he was visiting his grandson-in-law. His eldest nephew was really lucky, at least luckier than him!

The adults have mentioned that he must settle the marriage as soon as possible, otherwise he will regret it later!
