Chapter 919: Oolong

The wind outside the window was so strong that it broke a branch. The guards outside the palace didn't think anything of it as they were used to the strong winds this year.

The emperor felt that Eunuch Liu didn't even dare to breathe, and frowned, "How long do you want to hold your breath?"

Eunuch Liu breathed carefully, "Your Majesty, you have been standing for a while, would you like to rest for a while?"

The emperor stood still, his eyes still looking out the window, "Do you also think I'm old?"

This time, Eunuch Liu was not sweating, his hair stood up, he raised his hand and hit his mouth, "I said something wrong, I am guilty."

The emperor was just expressing some emotion. Today, since the prince was not here, he could reveal some of his inner feelings. The emperor is also a human being, he also gets tired. Of course, he would not have such a feeling when he was young. The court used to be more complicated than it is now.

When he first rebelled, he did not have much power, and most of his forces were forced upon him. No matter how difficult it was at the time, he was able to eliminate hidden dangers and stabilize the government.

But now, he is really old. If he doesn't rest well at night, he will not be in good spirits during the day. With the quarrels between his sons, he is very tired, and he also wants to speak out his feelings.

Eunuch Liu stood there motionless. He had no idea what the emperor was thinking. He just hoped that the crown prince's legitimate son would recover soon. The Zheng Palace needed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In the evening, Rongchuan didn't know Wu Ming was coming yesterday, but today he found out and came to Zhou's house for dinner.

Wu Ming admired Rongchuan. He had been the top scholar and the third scholar himself, so he knew how difficult the journey was. Of course, he was willing to be on good terms with Rongchuan. Rongchuan would become a marquis in the future, and this could not be ignored.

However, Wu Ming looked at Rong Chuan flattering his godfather with a wooden face and felt a little annoyed.

Chang Lian whispered, "You have to get used to it."

Wu Ming, "...always like this?"

No way, the Rongchuan he had seen before was not like this!

Chang Lian recalled Rong Chuan who was becoming more and more good at flattering others, and shuddered, "Almost."

Zhou Shuren really enjoys having a son-in-law like Rongchuan. He hopes to have more sons-in-law, but unfortunately, he has no daughters-in-law!

When it was time to rest at night, Zhou Shuren finally realized something was wrong. His wife hadn't spoken a word to him the whole night. They used to chat before going to bed every day, but not today. His wife even gave him the back of her head!

Zhou Shuren recalled carefully that he had not made his wife angry recently. Why didn't he think that it was the children at home who made his wife angry? The reason was simple, the children didn't dare to do it. Seeing that they were pulling the quilt as if to wrap themselves up, it must be his fault.

Zhulan became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She secretly blamed herself for going through menopause, but she couldn't calm down. She pulled at the quilt again, but still heard nothing. She felt inexplicably wronged and pulled the quilt over her head!

Zhou Shuren stood and watched for a while, then he was amused. Although he used to be awkward, his wife would never throw a tantrum.

He and Zhulan have been together for so many years, and they seldom quarrel, but that doesn't mean they never quarrel. Sometimes getting angry can be fun. In fact, most of the time Zhulan is too rational, and it's rare to see a daughter-in-law like this.

Zhou Shuren pulled the quilt, "The air in the quilt is not good, come out and get some fresh air."

Zhulan heard the joy in Zhou Shuren's tone and became even angrier. She turned around and glared at Zhou Shuren fiercely, "I do."

Zhou Shuren let go of his hand, "Then I won't care about you anymore."

Zhulan blinked her eyes and saw that Zhou Shuren really didn't move. She felt like a little devil was about to jump up in anger, so she gritted her teeth and covered her head again.

Zhou Shuren was cheerful and reached out to hold his wife's hand. When Zhulan felt a little cold on her wrist, she was stunned. She lifted the quilt and saw that it was a bracelet, and the style was very familiar. "Didn't I draw this?"

Hu made her own jewelry, which she found interesting. She also drew a few pictures when she had nothing to do. She had always wanted to give it a try, but she had a lot of things to do, which distracted her attention and she never started.

Zhou Shuren looked at his wife's wrist and thought to himself that it was a good thing that the size was ordered large, otherwise it would have been ugly. "I saw it and thought it was pretty, so I took a copy and asked Jinyan to send it to the jewelry store. It was only brought back yesterday, but Wu Ming forgot about it when she came back."

Zhulan touched the bracelet and was very happy. Not only was it a gift from Zhou Shuren, but also because she had drawn it and it turned out well. At this moment, she was not angry at all and looked at her slightly fat wrist happily.

Zhou Shuren sat aside, "Not angry anymore?"

Zhulan blushed a little, and then glared at Zhou Shuren, "Why didn't you take it out this morning?"

If you take it out in the morning, she won't be angry. She won't talk about Li Lan now.

Zhou Shuren felt really wronged, "Didn't I think it would be just you and me at night?"

Zhulan was delighted, "This gift is a surprise."

Zhou Shuren finally understood why his wife was angry, and he was already thinking about what the next little surprise would be.

The next day, when Zhou Shuren attended the morning court, everyone could see that he was in a good mood. Not just good, but too good.

Xiao Qing also attended the morning court and asked in a low voice, "Is there any happy event at home?"

Zhou Shuren, "No."

"Then why are you so happy?"

Zhou Shuren kept his mouth shut. He could say that his wife was angry because she was very nice to him in the morning. Not only did she keep him company when he got up, she also kissed him when he left. He hadn't received such treatment for a long time. When he left, Mrs. Song and the maids were all stunned.

Zhou Shuren felt so happy that he couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself that little surprises should not stop.

Xiao Qing looked at Zhou Shuren in confusion, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Are you going to be a father again?"

Xiao Qing's tone was one of genuine surprise. He was not surprised at Zhou Shuren, but at Zhou Shuren's wife. She was really not young anymore, and although she was also over the same age, she got pregnant, but it was still surprising.

The wind was quite strong today. Zhou Shuren opened his mouth wide, and then the wind choked him, causing him to cough violently.

There were quite a few people eavesdropping just now. Li Zhao exclaimed in surprise, and then, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."

Then more and more people came to congratulate me.

Zhou Shuren finally calmed down and said, "No, I don't want to be a father."

It must be explained. If it is not explained clearly, he can imagine the reaction when the news spreads.

Xiao Qing was embarrassed. Zhou Shuren would not lie about this matter. She really was not pregnant. She glared at Zhou Shuren, causing him to think too much.

Li Zhao laughed out loud, and then the laughter became louder and louder.

When the emperor arrived, Zhou Shuren's face had already turned black. This gloomy situation had ruined his good mood.

During the morning court session, the emperor's face was not good, which was a bad result. No one dared to speak today, and today's morning court session ended the fastest.

Then, Zhou Shuren was called to stay, and then he received everyone's sympathy. He was also nervous. What happened to the emperor today?

Afterwards, all the ministers withdrew, and they left very quickly.

Zhou Shuren looked at the eunuch who was waiting for him, and he was an acquaintance.

The eunuch waited until everyone around him was gone, and whispered, "The emperor was not in a good mood yesterday."

The other eunuchs didn't say a word, but the news was conveyed and the emperor was in a bad mood.

Zhou Shuren thanked the eunuch and wondered why the emperor was in a bad mood. It definitely wasn't because of him!
