Chapter 142 Zhou Yuqi seems to be awakening
Ye Keguan was stunned, and the expressions of the other members of the Zhou family also changed.
They didn't expect that the younger brother was still having convulsions after several days.
"Grandfather, don't pay attention to him, he's upset..."
Zhou Yuxiu said this deliberately, with an apologetic look on his face.
"What qualifications do you have to say that I'm upset? As the eldest son, is this how you defend your mother?"
Zhou Yuqi changed his usual behavior and showed mercy to his elder brother.
Zhou Yuxiu was confused again, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yuqi was very unfamiliar.
"Third brother, if you don't want to stay in the palace, go home immediately."
"I'm asking my grandfather questions, so don't interrupt."
Zhou Yuqi had no intention of continuing to argue with him and continued to look at Ye Keguan.
Ye Keguan still didn't understand at this time, and said, "Of course it's your grandmother. When you first learned to play the zither, your mother hadn't married yet."
Mrs. Pan also said, "That's right, although your grandmother is no longer with us, Lan Xin will not take away the credit for this achievement."
Zhou Yuqi glanced at them coldly and said, "The mother I'm talking about is my biological mother. That day at Shengpinxuan, my teacher Nan Xian came and announced that he had severed his master-disciple relationship with me. He also told me that it was my mother who begged him repeatedly, and finally moved him to teach me the zither for several years... He stayed out of the world for many years, and then, because Luqi re-emerged, he heard about how our Zhou family treated my mother. Grandfather, when my mother went to beg for help, did you really not know?"
Ye Keguan was completely confused because she really didn't know about this.
After Ye Hesheng got married, she never asked them for anything.
That was why after divorcing Zhou Zhili, she could proudly say that she had never owed the Ye family anything and could leave so easily.
"I really didn't know about this. Over the years, your grandmother has always emphasized that she did it. I thought..."
"So, as my mother's father, you have never protected her, and as her son, I have never been filial to her. She stayed away from the Ye family and severed ties with us. It was never her fault, but ours, hahahaha..."
After Zhou Yuqi finished speaking, he didn't care about other people's reactions and went straight back to his seat.
Seeing him like this, the other members of the Ye family naturally felt uncomfortable.
Especially Ye Chi, he felt that there was nothing wrong in his behavior of guarding against these three nephews over the years.
After all, he is not Ye Lanxin's biological child, so he won't really be on the same page with her.
Zhou Qinzhu also realized that things seemed complicated, and her third brother, who was the most determined to protect her, seemed to have awakened.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Zhili and Ye Lanxin also hurried over.
"Father-in-law, what's going on?"
Ye Ke was looking at Zhou Zhili and suddenly became dazed.
He married his two daughters, but he also lost one of them.
"Nothing, the palace banquet is about to begin, you guys go back and sit down."
Zhou Zhili was very confused, and Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi didn't want to explain to him directly what had just happened.
Fortunately, at this time, Master Mo's family and Prime Minister Wu's family arrived, and everyone came forward to greet them, which eased the atmosphere a lot.
Wu Yixuan felt a little shy when he saw the Gu family, especially Gu Yutang.
Gu Yutang was calm and composed. He had made up his mind to protect her for the rest of her life.
Now the Wu family's housekeeping power is slowly shifting towards the old lady. In two years, it will be time for Wu Yizhu to get married, and his wife will naturally take over the household responsibilities.
Seeing Grand Tutor Mo, Prince Duan hurried over to greet him.
In front of his father-in-law, he really couldn't act arrogantly. He didn't know if it was because of his aura or something else.
After a round of greetings, everyone took their seats, and the eunuchs began to organize order and make them quiet.
The appearance of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager along with a group of concubines also meant that the banquet was about to get to its main point.
Concubine Rong Zhou Zhixia, the biological mother of the third prince Lu Enrui, finally met Gu Runci. Seeing that she looked so much like her former sister-in-law, memories of the past flooded back to her.
However, her disobedience after returning also made Concubine Rong feel uncomfortable.
"Ruanci now looks more and more like her biological mother."
She smiled and said to the Queen beside her.
The Empress maintained a dignified smile throughout the entire process. "Yes, but she should be more direct and not have to worry too much like her biological mother, Ye Hesheng."
Rong Fei smiled awkwardly and said, "As a woman, how could I not have concerns?"
"That's true, but after taking care of others, being betrayed must be very unpleasant. Ye Hesheng encountered this situation too many times back then, and I felt sorry for him. I hope that Princess Chaoyang will have a bright future and not be used as a tool to suck your blood again."
The Queen's words were clearly meant to provoke Concubine Rong.
But Concubine Rong had no choice but to sit upright.
"What the Queen said is..."
The Queen Mother paid attention to the direction of the Gu family. They were really full of energy and vitality, the family was prosperous, and everyone had a smile on their face.
"With General Gu's return, the Duke's wife's smile has become much brighter."
The Queen Mother teased with a warm expression.
Zhuang Hefeng stood up and replied with a smile, "As mothers, I am naturally happy to see my child return. When Ruanci returned, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for many days."
Her words offended the Zhou family, and they all felt that she was mocking them.
Zhuang Hefeng added, "Now that the Second Prince has returned, the Empress Dowager and the Empress are beaming with joy and look much better."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, her gaze naturally falling on her second son Lu Enlian, who had a dark complexion.
The Queen Mother continued, "Now that General Gu and the Prime Minister's daughter are engaged, why not let them get married before coming? The border is now stable, and there's no movement from Da Shun and Dayu. It's time for General Gu to complete his lifelong event."
Everyone thought this proposal was appropriate.
However, neither the Gu family nor the Wu family agreed immediately, and the Queen Mother only made a suggestion but did not ask them to answer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, the emperor asked the eunuch to announce the start of the palace banquet.
First, someone read out the achievements made by Gu Yutang in the past two years after he took over the duties of the Duke of Shouguo stationed at the border, and commented on the deeds of the second prince on the border of Dayu. Everyone felt encouraged. Now that a new generation has grown up, they can safely hand over the country to them.
Concubine Rong and Concubine Wen might not be so happy. They certainly knew that the growth of Gu Yutang and the Second Prince would be helpful to the First Prince.
Lu Enlian and Lu Enyou are brothers from the same mother, and Gu Yutang and Lu Enyou are close friends, just like the emperor and Gu Congyun back then.
It seems that the Gu family's wealth will continue.
And this kingdom will probably be handed over to Lu Enyou.
Lu Enrui, who was sitting there, had a smile on his face, and one could tell he had ambition. However, as a prince, how could he not have ambition?
