Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[81]

When Emperor Tianshun mourned, all the ministers crowded in this small room made a mournful look, and said in unison: "Please mourn, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianshun didn't pay attention to them, but took a closer look at the old courtyard, and said: "Wang Qing, you didn't leave a son and a half daughter behind, and now I want to compensate you, but I can't find a way gone."

All the ministers said in unison again: "My condolences, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianshun turned his head and looked at Zhou Jinyu, who was standing beside him, with some doubts: "You... Zhou Jinyu, why are you here?"

Zhou Jinyu immediately stood up, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the villain is a student of the old head of the hospital, and he is here to see the old head off."

"student?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Yes, the villain also studied in Qiulu Academy."

Emperor Tianshun suddenly remembered that the news sent by the spies said that Zhou Jinyu had also studied in Qiulu Academy, so he ignored her and turned to Jiang Youde, the chief eunuch: "Once the important officials have gone, The funeral was so perfunctory, and I passed on my oral order that the minister of the Xuanli Department and the clan's mansion will come together, and the funeral will be grand."

Jiang Youde immediately said: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

Emperor Tianshun sighed deeply, turned around and took a look at the coffin at the head of the old courtyard, and then walked out the door again.

Jiang Youde immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, drive!"

All the courtiers in the room knelt on the ground and immediately shouted: "I wait to see you off to Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianshun had already walked out of the door. Zhou Jinyu was about to catch up with him, thinking of handing over the letter from the head of the old courtyard to Emperor Tianshun. However, just as she was about to chase her out, she was torn off by her elder brother Zhao Guangsheng. She couldn't stand still, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

Li Wei'an, who was standing across from her, looked up at her, and suddenly sneered, "Cut."

Zhou Jinyu tilted his head to look at Zhao Guangsheng, and whispered, "What are you pulling me for!"

Zhao Guangsheng blushed, "Kneel...kneel down."

What he meant was that he could not be disrespectful to Emperor Tianshun, and he would be beheaded in less time.

Zhou Jinyu didn't care about this, she knelt down and yelled to Emperor Tianshun: "Your Majesty, the students have something to tell you."

Emperor Tianshun paused when he was about to go out, then turned around and looked at her with raised eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Jinyu cupped his hands and said, "It's about the last words of the head of the old hospital, and I want to speak to you alone."

As soon as Zhou Jinyu said this, all the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was willing to speak, thinking to himself, what is going to happen in this young man?

Emperor Tianshun thought for a while, then said in a hoarse voice, "You come with me."

Zhou Jinyu immediately got up and followed out the door.

Emperor Tianshun casually pushed the room facing south and north, and walked in. He looked back at Zhou Jinyu: "What are you doing in a daze, let me come in."

Zhou Jinyu quickly responded, "Hey."

After Emperor Tianshun waited for Zhou Jinyu to come in, he glanced at the dilapidated wooden door: "It's closed."

Zhou Jinyu immediately swayed to close the door tightly, and then took out the letter from the head of the old hospital from her sleeve, and presented it to Emperor Tianshun.

Emperor Tianshun snorted coldly, but didn't take it, and asked her: "I asked you to take part in this month's spring test, did you prepare well? How many books have you read?"

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, she didn't expect Emperor Tianshun to care about her academic issues, but since Emperor Tianshun asked, she immediately said the truth: "Little man, uh... the villain hasn't read many books. .”

Emperor Tianshun obviously didn't believe it, and said angrily: "What! You are so slack, thanks to the fact that I value you so much!"

Zhou Jinyu said helplessly with a face of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, look at it... the villain has already passed the exam for the number one scholar before. The villain studied hard for ten years and failed to pass the exam. Now he is admitted again." Once, even if you sharpen your gun in front of the battle, it is estimated that you can neither be fast nor light."

Emperor Tianshun became angrier after listening to her words, and stretched out his hand to hit her. Zhou Jinyu naturally had quick eyes and quick hands, shrinking his neck quickly, and immediately avoided it.

Emperor Tianshun said angrily: "You have the face to hide? Put your head here!"

Zhou Jinyu begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please leave, the villain is afraid of pain."

Emperor Tianshun snorted coldly: "You bastard, I have never seen you like this. You make such strong words that you think no one can speak against you?"

Zhou Jinyu immediately shook his head like a rattle drum: "How can it be, the villain is telling you the truth, you told the villain last time that it will take less than half a month for the villain to participate in this year's spring test. It’s unrealistic for a villain to tell you that you stay at home with all your clothes and food, day and night, and that’s not deceiving you.”

Emperor Tianshun couldn't help it, and finally seized the opportunity to smack her on the forehead with his finger, Zhou Jinyu grinned in pain.

Only then did Emperor Tianshun feel satisfied: "You don't deserve to be beaten. Don't you think about asking for an official position with me? I should put you in front of the imperial court so that I can beat you all the time."

Zhou Jinyu was frightened now, and immediately begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, don't, the villain knows it's wrong, please calm down, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianshun stretched out his hand coldly and said, "Bring it."

Zhou Jinyu immediately handed over the letter respectfully. Emperor Tianshun took the letter, opened it, and was startled when he saw the writing on it.

Zhou Jinyu didn't realize it.

When Emperor Tianshun finished reading, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhou Jinyu, and asked, "Do you know what is written on it?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "I don't know."

Emperor Tianshun looked at her carefully again, and suddenly said: "Who else have you read this letter?"

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, what did he say?

Zhou Jinyu bit the bullet and replied: "Responding to Your Majesty, since the head of the old hospital gave this letter to the villain, the villain has been keeping it by himself, and no one has read it."

Emperor Tianshun smiled, put the letter back into the envelope, and said to Zhou Jinyu, "You haven't read it, have you?"

Zhou Jinyu was even more puzzled now, and nodded immediately: "Yes, the villain has never read it. This is a letter from the head of the old hospital. How dare the villain read it?"

Emperor Tianshun understood, and suddenly, with a smile that was not a smile, he asked her an irrelevant question: "Has the family ever engaged you in marriage?"

"No, I made an engagement once before, but it was rejected by others, and I haven't been able to talk about it again..." Zhou Jinyu couldn't hold back anymore, and she said quickly: "But your majesty, what is the purpose of this letter?" Is there a problem?"

Emperor Tianshun suddenly returned to his serious look: "I will accept it if you believe me, but..."

Emperor Tianshun thought for a while, then took off the fan at his waist, sent it to Zhou Jinyu, and said, "If you think of something someday, you can use this fan to enter the palace to see me."

Zhou Jinyu didn't understand even more now, but the fan given by Lord Long Live was an imperial gift, and she immediately took the fan with both hands respectfully and said, "Yes, the villain has recorded it."

Emperor Tianshun glanced at her again, and then walked out the door with his head held high.

Zhou Jinyu put away the fan. Originally, she wanted to imitate Emperor Tianshun and put it on her waist, but she always felt that this would be disrespectful to Emperor Tianshun, so she kept holding it in her hand, waiting for Tianshun After the Emperor left, he returned to the north room again.

When Zhao Guangsheng saw her come back, he immediately asked, "Jinyu... you... go to... Your Majesty and said... what did you say?"

Zhou Jinyu lowered his voice and replied, "It's nothing, it's just the letter that the head of the old hospital entrusted."

Zhao Guangsheng nodded, as soon as Emperor Tianshun left, the courtiers naturally had no need to stay any longer, they wanted to leave one after another, Zhao Guangsheng immediately sent them away respectfully.

But Li Wei'an didn't leave. He walked towards Zhou Jinyu, stared coldly at the folding fan in Zhou Jinyu's hand and said, "Zhou Jinyu, you are really good at flattering. At that time in the academy, you coaxed the old man The head of the hospital is facing you, is this asking for benefits from the Long Live Lord today?"

Zhou Jinyu shook the folding fan in his hand, looked at Li Wei'an and said, "I didn't ask for this, but Lord Long Live gave it to me personally."

Li Wei'an was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "How is it possible!"

"How is it impossible?" Zhou Jinyu looked at her contemptuously.

Li Wei'an suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What did you say to Lord Long Live?"

Zhou Jinyu replied, "How can I tell you this? If you really want to know, you can ask Long Live God yourself."

Li Wei'an got angry and wanted to say more, but at this time Feng Weizhi came over, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to shut up. Although Li Wei'an was unwilling, he still gave Zhou Jinyu a vicious look and closed his mouth .

Feng Weizhi smiled and said, "Brother Jinyu, I heard from Brother Li that you also want to enter this year's spring exam?"

Zhou Jinyu touched the tip of his nose, and responded vaguely: "Ang, what's the matter?"

Feng Weizhi squinted his eyes: "It's nothing. I'm looking forward to competing with Brother Jinyu in the imperial examination room."

Zhou Jinyu only felt that the hypocrisy of this man's smirk and non-smiling behavior was a bit unpleasing, and Zhou Jinyu asked him: "Looking forward to competing with me? Mr. Feng is not afraid that if you make a mistake, you Is the name of the first son of the capital at stake?"

Feng Wei was startled, he thought that Zhou Jinyu would at least have a few words of politeness with him, he suppressed the surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "That's not the case, I..."

Zhou Jinyu grinned suddenly: "That's it, I don't think so, I'm just talking casually, Mr. Feng will definitely not care about people like me who speak freely, right?"

Feng Weizhi smiled and said: "It's okay, Brother Jinyu is straightforward, I like Brother Jinyu's frankness very much, and I also like to make friends with people like you."

Zhou Jinyu also laughed and laughed: "I'm just a commoner, I don't dare to admire Mr. Feng, so let's just make friends."

Li Wei'an sneered: "Zhou Jinyu, are you shameless?"

Zhou Jinyu took out the fan of Emperor Tianshun in his hand, and pointed at Li Wei'an: "What did you say?"

Li Wei'an was taken aback, and wanted to be tough with Zhou Jinyu as usual, but he was afraid of the fan bestowed by Emperor Tianshun himself in her hand.

Feng Weizhi gave Li Wei'an a cold look, and smoothed things over to Zhou Jinyu, "Brother Jinyu, don't take offense, Brother Li, he doesn't mean anything malicious, it's just a quarrel between classmates, don't you mind?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and said very generously: "I don't mind, I don't mind, of course I don't mind. Anyway, I can't bite back after being bitten by a dog. It's useless for me to mind."

Li Wei'an was furious at the moment: "Zhou Jinyu, you!"

Feng Weizhi stopped him: "Brother Li, don't say a few words."

Li Wei'an was indignant, but Zhou Jinyu was relieved now, thinking to himself, this Feng Weishang still ignored her when he saw him, now seeing that she has the fan bestowed by Emperor Tianshun, he will come to "make love" with her Friend", it really knows the current affairs.

Emperor Tianshun returned to the palace, took out the letter Zhou Jinyu gave him again, opened the envelope, took out the letter, stared at the letter for a while, and asked Jiang Youde beside him, "How long has it been since I Chuan Yuanzhao has entered the palace?"

Jiang Youde was taken aback for a moment, why did the Long Live Lord suddenly think of the eldest princess?

Jiang Youde couldn't figure out Emperor Tianshun's intentions, so he said: "Return to Your Majesty, the servant can't remember clearly, maybe it's been more than two months."

Emperor Tianshun was silent for a while, seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Jiang Youde: "Is it because I forced her too hard...she did these ridiculous things."

Now Jiang Youde couldn't figure out what Emperor Tianshun meant: "Your Majesty, Princess Yuanzhao has always followed the rules. If you heard something, there must be some misunderstanding."

Emperor Tianshun snorted coldly: "What did you hear? I saw it with my own eyes, so you don't have to plead for her."

Jiang Youde was taken aback again, and tentatively said: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Tianshun handed the letter paper directly to Jiang Youde: "Look for yourself!"

Jiang Youde took the letter and took a closer look, only to see that there were love words such as "There is a beautiful person, I will never forget it..." and the inscription on the back was the seal of Princess Yuanzhao.

Jiang Youde was shocked: "Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding in this, how could the princess do such a thing? She is not this kind of person...she..."

Emperor Tianshun looked at him coldly: "Go on, what kind of person is she not?"

Now Jiang Youde couldn't go on talking, although he knew in his heart that if he pleaded with Princess Yuanzhao at this time, he would definitely arouse Emperor Tianshun's suspicion, but he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Master Yuanzhao has never done anything in the past. After this kind of thing, in the end..."

Emperor Tianshun waved his hands helplessly, and impatiently interrupted Jiang Youde's next words: "Decree, Yuan Zhao has lost his virtue, and he will be confined for three days and think about his mistakes behind closed doors."

Jiang Youde secretly sighed in his heart, what the hell is that Zhou Jinyu? Why did she accuse Princess Yuanzhao time and time again in front of Lord Long Live.
