Angelica returns

Looking into the mirror every day, you can see the fur, but this fur is not a soul-drawing technique, but he discovered why he got so close to a subordinate. It is very important, and objectively evaluated: This person has a beard like a halberd, and he looks very good.

Zhou Tingyu's teeth itched very much.Every time He Hui called him to have a conversation with him, he had a long talk, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he kept nagging at this bastard, wishing to pull the two of them out of the mirror and severely reprimand them!

In this regard, the bastard still held his forehead, expressing that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The news of the banquet in the palace put an end to Zhou Tingyu's jealous indignation.The bastard's ears can almost hear the cocoon, and now that Zhou Tingyu is going to the palace for a banquet, he can finally take a rest.

But Zhou Tingyu didn't let him go. He called him a pet tortoise to see the world, but it was always effective for chasing the telescope.He dragged the bastard into the palace together——

Although Zhou Tingyu is a relative of the emperor, he doesn't often enter the palace. Firstly, there are many restraints in the palace, and secondly, he is not needed here.

When I was young, it was an unwritten rule to greet the Empress Dowager on the first day of every month. When I grew up, I had to avoid suspicion, so I almost entered only when I was called, and all of my entry was to visit the Empress Dowager.

The imperial palace is magnificent and magnificent, resplendent and resplendent. In the huge palace, the king is in the world, which gives people a sense of noble alienation. It is not like Angelica Mountain. feel.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tingyu felt a little fortunate that he was not a member of the royal family, so he would not have to be suppressed by this huge palace for a lifetime.

In order to relieve the scorching heat, the banquet was held in the cool pavilion of the Imperial Garden.The Liangge is not very big, but the maids and eunuchs who serve there are frequent, serving tea and water, playing fans to repel mosquitoes, making the Liangge extremely crowded.

When Zhou Tingyu saw the battle, he knew that the Ninth Five-Year Lord had also come to join in the fun.Speaking of which, the emperor Xiangqi is Xiangyao's younger brother, his own cousin, and can be regarded as a close relative. It cannot be said that the relationship is not good, but this cousin became the master of the world once he became a treasure, which is different from himself being a monarch and minister. You can flatter Princess Xiangyao carelessly, but you have to be extremely restrained and courteous to the emperor.

Come to think of it, this meal is not good.

Xiangqi sits in the main seat, Xiangyao, Shi Luhou is on the right, Zhou Tingyu, and Lu Jin is on the left.The bastard stood behind Zhou Tingyu, salivating at the royal food on the table.

Xiangqi may have realized that there were too many redundant members in the cabinet, but after repelling most of them, the atmosphere became inexplicably deserted, which was a bit embarrassing.

Xiangyao smiled, raised his glass and said, "This banquet is a family banquet, everyone should enjoy it to the fullest. This first cup, I will respect the emperor. There have been many strange things about Qiong in recent months, and the emperor has worked hard."

Praying to each other: "My duty lies, and Sister Lao is concerned about it."

Xiangyao picked up another glass of wine, leaned slightly towards Shi Luhou, Shi Luhou stood up in panic, "Master, Lu Jin has returned safely, Xiangyao wants to toast you."

Shi Luhou: "His Royal Highness is toasting, and the veteran is offended."

Xiang prayed: "Master Hou, you don't have to decline. If the imperial sister doesn't respect you, I will respect you too. You are the elder of the Second Dynasty, and you have dedicated yourself to the Dacheng Kingdom. You have worked hard and made great achievements. Without your assistance, Qiongzhi's strange case would not have been solved so quickly." , how can you not bear this glass of wine?"

Shi Luhou retorted angrily.

After paying homage to Shi Luhou, Xiangyao smiled at Zhou Tingyu again, and said: "Tingyu, although the elders and children are orderly, but my sister still wants to toast you. This time I go out, I can feel that you have grown up, my sister is very happy." Rejoice."

After talking, Xiangyao had already drunk three cups, but Zhou Tingyu felt that she was not interested in drinking.He knows this sister, admires this sister, and loves this sister——

Six years ago, the new emperor Xiangqi was still underage. In the few years after the young emperor ascended the throne, thanks to the Princess Xiangyao who took care of the overall situation, the country was able to enjoy a smooth and prosperous life.

But now that the emperor has grown up, it is not easy for her to participate in the government anymore. After all, a woman is at the mercy of others, and she really doesn't want her own brother to be in a dilemma.

In the early years, he worked hard for his family and country, and devoted himself to maintaining the stability of the country, so that the 26-year-old Xiangyao has not yet married.

In fact, no matter in the past or now, there are not a few Hao Erlang who come to propose marriage, but they are all rejected by Xiangyao, without exception.

There are rumors that this Princess Xiangyao is a golden branch and a jade leaf, and has a high position. Today's emperors have to be courteous. She is afraid that she looks down on ordinary people, so she has not married yet.

But in fact, Zhou Tingyu knew that everything was to be blamed, and it could only be blamed for the ruthless relationship between her and Shi Luhou's eldest son.

Hey, come to think of it, besides Lu Jin, who else Xiangyao cares about today.

Sure enough, Xiangyao looked at Lu Jin.Lu Jin also knew about Princess Xiangyao's affection for him, so he narrowed his eyes, seemed a little embarrassed, and said first: "Your Highness, please don't respect each other. Lu Jin has no credit for anything, and no title. Out of order."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Xiangqi smiled and said: "Everyone in Qiong praised Shilu's eldest son for being extremely handsome and talented. I also know that you are a rare talent. Now that the crisis is turned into safety, I should congratulate you. The right servant, from the second grade, has been vacant for many days, I wonder if you would like to help me?"

The emperor kept his promises, and the words were not inquiries, but imperial edicts.There was no room for Lu Jin to refuse, so he could only nod respectfully, thanking the Lord for his kindness.

It seems that the imperial decree of praying for each other has not been issued yet, so he turned his eyes to Zhou Tingyu.Zhou Tingyu immediately knew that something was wrong, and he would probably be forced to wear an official hat, so he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. He quickly picked up his wine glass, stood up and bent down and said, "Your Majesty, seeing the great talents in Dacheng Kingdom, I feel very grateful." Xinyue is also very ashamed at the same time, I have learned nothing, I have failed to accomplish anything, and I have also shamed the royal family."

The bastard behind Zhou Tingyu secretly rolled his eyes: This guy can really be sloppy.

Fortunately, when Xiangqi heard the words, he withdrew his fate, Zhou Tingyu smiled triumphantly, and then cast an encouraging look at his friend Lu Jin, "Heaven will send a great responsibility to everyone".

After drinking for three rounds, the midsummer wind is full of enthusiasm, and no one is drunk.While talking about family matters, Xiang Qi mentioned one of Qiongzhi's strange cases, and Zhou Tingyu was somewhat interested——

If it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is not uncommon for the road to have frozen bones.But this May and June, a family of three actually froze to death under the scorching sun.

That's right, the autopsy results of all the foremen were frozen to death.Later, when Luhou closed the case, it was found that the death was caused by drinking too much ice and the icicles in the body did not melt for a long time.

Everyone was taken aback and called it strange again and again.But some people also said that if this matter is explained by ghosts and gods, it means that the family had bad luck, offended wandering frozen ghosts, and was dragged to be buried with them.

After hearing this, Zhou Tingyu shook his head, sighing with kindness.

After the banquet, Lu Jin took office non-stop, and Zhou Tingyu also went to Shoukang Palace non-stop - it was rare to enter the palace, so naturally he had to say hello to the Queen Mother.

For the convenience of carrying, the bastard turned into a little turtle and was carried in the sleeve by Zhou Tingyu.Empress Dowager Zhou likes flowers and trees, and Shoukang Palace is also covered with greenery, which is a few degrees cooler than usual places.

Before entering the palace gate, the bastard escaped from his sleeve, quickly climbed onto a green leaf, and closed his eyes lazily, it was ready to take a lunch break under the sun.

Zhou Tingyu just wanted to pull the bastard back into his sleeve.But at this time, a little maid who was waiting came out from the inner hall, saw him, saluted, and said happily: "Master, the empress is looking forward to it, I don't know when you will come!"

Not much to say, Zhou Tingyu let go of the bastard for the time being, and walked into the inner hall with strides. The inner hall was quiet, burning with Buddhist incense, and the smell was faint.

The woman on the purple wood and rattan chair is not old, but pale and elegant.In fact, when the Queen Mother Zhou was young, she was not a weak willow, a strong wind, no talent and virtue. The first emperor worked hard to govern, and the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful. It was also thanks to this woman behind her. solve problems.

But the first emperor passed away at a young age, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was so sad that her health deteriorated day by day. In recent years, she often wandered outside the gate of hell. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the king of Hades didn't really take her life.

The woman straightened her body, showing a long-lost smile, and said, "Are you finally willing to visit Aijia?"

Zhou Tingyu squatted in front of her knees, beat her legs and said, "Auntie, Tingyu has been out these days, don't you know?"

"I know. How can I not know, Lu Jin is lost, and that girl Xiangyao is going crazy."

"Now that Lu Jin is back, you don't know yet, the emperor appointed him the right servant of the household department today."

The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed, and said: "That kid Lu Jin Aijia grew up with him, he is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune at all, let alone the right servant, even if he is a first-class minister, he will not be a real person. interested."

This is indeed the case, the Queen Mother saw clearly, Zhou Tingyu had no words to refute.

"Poor Xiangyao, but I just fell in love with such a person. Hey, if it wasn't for Lu Jin, who was a little more chasing after fame and fortune, that girl wouldn't work so hard. When he grows up, he will waste his youth."

Zhou Tingyu: "But you can't force it, right? Sister Xiangyao has been waiting, isn't she just unwilling to force it?"

"Yeah, feelings can't be forced, Aijia is just afraid that she will be alone in the end."

Zhou Tingyu knows Lu Jin's temper, he is not a person who changes at will, and waiting for each other will most likely be in vain.

However, being the eldest sister on the one hand and the younger one on the other, she is caught in the middle, speaking for no one, it is quite difficult to be a human being.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother said: "Ting Yu, the Ai family has a son and a daughter, and I pray that they will succeed to the throne at a young age. With so many things to do every day, I have little time to spend with the Ai family.

Although Xiangyao is filial, he is not clingy, and he assists the state affairs, so he doesn't often come to Kangshou Palace.

You alone, always ran to Ai's family when I was a child, playing and making fun of Ai's family, you are the closest child to Ai's family. "

Zhou Tingyu smiled embarrassingly: "It's good that my aunt doesn't dislike Ting Yu's troubles."

"Ting Yu, your mother left early, and while Aijia still has energy, there are some things that Aijia, as an aunt, has to worry about."

Zhou Tingyu was shocked.

"You are not too young, so you can't continue to be lazy like this. You have to start a family and start a business, and marry a good girl to control you."
