The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"Brother, you have obtained this unique copy, so you don't plan to reward Lu Ming?"

After Zhou Shiyue asked a question, he continued very naturally, "But speaking of it, not punishing him is already a good thing."

This sentence made the emperor confused.

Why did he want to punish Lu Ming?

He presented the rare book he had been looking for for a long time, but was punished instead of rewarded?

Zhou Shiyue was annoyed with him, "He clearly knew that the emperor liked Mr. Xianhe's books and had been looking for them. He had the only copy, but he only presented it to the emperor now. Was he deliberately watching the emperor be unable to get it? He was secretly proud of himself."

If Lu Ming were here, he would probably feel wronged and cry out for help.

The emperor was a little slow to react when he heard what Zhou Shiyue said.

Is this a blatant attempt to deceive Lu Ming?

"With Lu Ming's status, I don't think you are qualified to hear what I want or what I am looking for."

The emperor looked at this issue very fairly and impartially.

"If I hadn't sent someone to tell him to find a marriage certificate recently, he wouldn't have had the chance to present this unique copy to me."

Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows.

Not confused?

Not only was the emperor not confused, he looked at him with some confusion.

"Ayue, Lu Ming will also be your father-in-law. Don't you want the Lu family to prosper? He can also be your helper in the future."

Zhou Shiyue sneered.

"Why should I help? My brother is already the emperor, who can do anything to me? I don't like him, even if he wants to rise to prominence, I will step on him. Does he want to be my father-in-law?"

There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in his words.

When the emperor looked at him like this, he seemed to see the dandy nature of Prince Jin when he was a child. He felt inexplicably that he seemed to have not changed at all.

"Father once said that you are very smart. If you can focus on the right path, you will achieve something. But it's a pity that you have been spoiled by everyone. You have been a bit of a gangster since you were a child. Even though the younger generations have grown up, you are not much more stable than the children."

Zhou Shiyue disagreed, "Who said I'm not steady? I've restrained myself a lot now. Otherwise, my royal brother, you can see whether I beat Zhou Ling or not."

Knowing that he doted on the Second Prince, he actually said in front of him so brazenly that he wanted to beat the Second Prince.

The emperor was a little annoyed, but also a little relieved.

This King of Jin doesn't seem to have any scheming minds.

"How did the second brother offend you?"

"He protects that Lu or something and condones her bullying Zhao Ling. I have to beat him up," Zhou Shiyue said confidently. "Now everyone in the capital knows that she is the future Princess Jin and his aunt. If he doesn't respect her, he doesn't take me, his uncle, seriously."

That seems to be correct?

That kid Zhou Ling was indeed protecting Lu Zhaoyun.

Zhou Shiyue said, "Oh, brother, I think we should call off their engagement. Otherwise, if the two sisters are promised to the uncle and nephew, what will happen if it gets out?"

The second prince just heard this when he got outside and became immediately annoyed.

What happened to the emperor's uncle?

Trying to ruin his engagement behind his back?

He also wanted to come and see whether his father would reward the Lu family.

When the eunuch wanted to pass on the message, he made a gesture to keep quiet and stood outside to listen.

Anyway, there is nothing that the emperor father and uncle say that he cannot hear, and the emperor father will not be angry about this.

The emperor really does not like the second prince's marriage.

"It's not like there's no precedent for uncles and nephews marrying sisters, so there's nothing wrong with that. But the Lu family is indeed of low status, and although the eldest daughter of the Lu family has some reputation, she's still not presentable. But the second son said that he had received some favors from her in the past, and they have a marriage certificate. If he turns his back on her, the royal family's reputation will be bad, and they won't know where to put their face."

The emperor sighed.

Zhou Shiyue's eyes flickered, "Brother, do you want me to help you break them up?"

He moved his ears slightly and heard the breath outside the door. He also recognized the footsteps of the second prince just now.

Lu Er wanted Lu Zhaoyun to finalize the marriage, so how could he not give it a push?

If no one pushes it, the emperor will keep delaying the engagement. What can Lu Zhima do?

The emperor looked at him and said, "You asked me to grant you a marriage with Lu Zhaoling. Why do you despise the Lu family so much when it's your second son's turn?"

"Why, Zhou Ling, are you trying to compete with me?" Zhou Shiyue smiled, and his dandy temperament suddenly came out, looking a bit out of tune, "My status as the emperor's uncle is enough. I don't care whether the Yue family is capable or not. Can't I support a princess by myself?"

"If Zhou Ling thinks so, then it's fine. I'm just afraid that he doesn't have much ability and still needs support from his father-in-law's family. However, if you really want to consider this, it doesn't matter. Just looking at the Lu family's status, even with a marriage certificate, making her a concubine is already a great honor for her."

Yes, concubine.

The emperor's heart moved.

If Lu Zhaoyun was only a concubine, he could still give the second son a wife who was of equal status. If Lu Anrong was really lucky, he could also help the second son in the future.

Those who climbed up from the bottom also had to rely on the second brother, and they could be more loyal to him in the future.

After all, a queen from a high-ranking family may also be too arrogant.

If the second son inherits the throne in the future, with three palaces and six courtyards, are you afraid that there won't be a place for Lu Zhaoyun? As for women, having more won't be a problem.

The emperor felt suddenly enlightened. He had originally thought that this matter was difficult to handle, but now he felt that it was not a big deal.

"However, I still think this marriage is not good. The girl from the Lu family is not a good person. Zhou Ling's vision is far worse than mine. Also, Lu Ming's intentions are obvious. He offered the only copy just to ask for a promotion. My brother, don't go along with him..."

The second prince outside couldn't stand it anymore.

Not only does he want to ruin his marriage, but he also wants to erase Lu Ming's contribution of presenting the only copy of the book, making his contribution in vain?

Was he deliberately trying to make things difficult for him? Wasn't it because he was rude to Lu Zhaoling before? The emperor's uncle was too petty.

He immediately called out "Father" loudly and stepped forward.

"Father, I have something to report."

At this time, he seemed to have just seen Zhou Shiyue, his expression was not very good, and he shouted, "Greetings, Uncle Emperor."

"Eavesdropping outside?" Zhou Shiyue glanced at him sideways.

The second prince was ashamed and annoyed, "Is my nephew so unbearable in the eyes of the emperor's uncle?"

Oh, no? Who has been eavesdropping for a long time?

Zhou Shiyue said, "It doesn't matter if you heard it. I am trying to persuade your father to tear up the marriage certificate between you and the Lu family."

He knew that the Second Prince was very rebellious.

"Uncle, I came to you just to talk about this matter." The second prince was so inspired that he immediately made up his mind and turned to the emperor. "Father, I cannot be an ungrateful person. Besides, Zhaoyun is devoted to me. I have promised to take care of her for the rest of her life. Please grant my wish!"

He immediately knelt down, looking upright and loyal, "Your Highness will also consider the overall situation and try his best to persuade Zhaoyun to be the concubine. The choice of the principal concubine will be entirely up to your father."

Zhou Shiyue continued casually, "Royal brother, don't listen to him. He has never been smart. This marriage is not a good one."
