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

[83]

Zhou Jinyu brought the letter into the palace, and when she came to the palace gate, the guards at the gate immediately stopped her.

Zhou Jinyu showed Emperor Tianshun's folding fan and said, "My lord, this villain was ordered to come into the palace to meet the Lord Long Live. This is the fan that the Lord Long Live gave to this villain himself."

But the palace guard only glanced at the folding fan, then snorted coldly, and snapped: "Who knows if your fan is real? Do you have a badge to enter the palace?"

"Waist card?" Zhou Jinyu was stunned: "No, but my fan was given by the Long Live Lord himself. The Long Live Lord said that if I want to enter the palace, I can go to see him with this fan."

Gong Wei sneered, looked at her contemptuously, and yelled again: "Without a token, no one else is allowed to enter, get out!"

The palace guard not only talked about it, but even pushed Zhou Jinyu with his hands. Zhou Jinyu staggered and nearly fell down.

Just as she was backing away, a hand suddenly held her shoulder. Although the strength of that hand was not strong, it just held her steady and prevented her from falling to the ground.

Zhou Jinyu turned her head and saw that the person supporting her was an old man with a white beard. Although the old man was old, his eyes were piercing, and the eyes were slightly squinted. The old man was wearing a brown Official uniform, followed by two servants, his status in the court must not be low for a limited time, and looking farther away, there are eight sedan chairs parked not far away, this person is none other than Meng Changru, the old minister of the court.

Meng Changru was different from the great general Han Tixin. He was called "Xianxiang" by the people, and it was not without reason.Meng Changru has always been upright and honest, and at the same time he is in charge of the Zhongshu Province, holding an important position, and is highly regarded by the current emperor Tianshun.

Zhou Jinyu had already stabilized her body with Meng Changru's strength, she immediately saluted and thanked: "Thank you, old man."

Meng Changru narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Young man, be careful."

Zhou Jinyu also laughed twice: "Thank you, my lord, the students understand."

Meng Changru laughed twice, looked at the guard guarding the palace gate, and asked forcefully, "What's going on?"

Facing Meng Changru's questioning, compared with Zhou Jinyu, the palace guard seemed to change his attitude towards Meng Changru in an instant.

The palace guard immediately arched his hands, pointed at Zhou Jinyu and said, "Returning to Mr. Meng, this person claimed to be holding a folding fan personally rewarded by Mr. Long Live, and wanted to confuse him. Seeing how much trouble he had made, he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. .”

Meng Changru narrowed his eyes again, looked at Zhou Jinyu again, and asked, "You mean, Lord Long Live gave you a fan?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Yeah!"

Meng Changru stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the fan? Show me it."

Zhou Jinyu immediately handed over the folding fan respectfully.

Meng Changru took the folding fan and opened it lightly with a "snap".

He knew that this fan was real at a glance. After all, this folding fan was always treasured by Emperor Tianshun, and he didn't take it out easily on weekdays. This folding fan was usually placed on a shelf in the imperial study.The pattern on the fan shows snow covered with grains, implying that the auspicious snow heralds a good year and the grains will be plentiful.

Now Zhou Jinyu began to notice that after Meng Changru finished watching the folding fan, the way he looked at him changed slightly.From the aloofness of the high-ranking person at the beginning, it has become a vague and curious look.

Meng Changru paused, and asked, "You young man, did you pretend that the fan was personally handed over to you by the Lord Long Live?"

Zhou Jinyu replied: "Students dare not lie. This matter is absolutely true. It was given to the students by the Lord Long Live in the mansion at the head of Wang Laoyuan today."

Meng Changru suddenly remembered. He looked at Zhou Jinyu again, and felt that the young man in front of him had delicate features. After Zhou Jinyu reminded him, he immediately remembered, and immediately told the guards at the palace gate: "This The official has already verified that this folding fan really belongs to Lord Long Live, please give this little brother a go."

Gong Wei reluctantly replied: "Yes, old man!"

As soon as Meng Changru raised his hand, he returned the folding fan to Zhou Jinyu, who immediately took it over.

Meng Changru turned his hands away, and told the guards behind him, "In about half an hour, the truth will come out."

The guard hurriedly replied: "Yes, the villain is waiting for you here."

Meng Changru nodded, looked at Zhou Jinyu who was standing beside him, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Young man, let's go, I will take you in."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, but when he realized it, he quickly bent over and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

Meng Changru stepped forward first, and the palace guard immediately opened one of the two painted red wooden doors for him. Zhou Jinyu followed closely behind and entered the palace.

Zhou Jinyu followed Meng Changru to the north along the imperial road, and within a short while came to Emperor Tianshun's imperial study.

Everyone in the world knows that the emperor's residence is very large, and it is so big that you can't see the end at a glance, and you can't finish it if you walk for three days and three nights, but that is actually the misunderstanding of the world's palace.

Zhou Jinyu also found out after entering the palace that this place is not as exaggerated as the people say, it is only several times larger than the houses outside, and the reason why the people feel that the palace is so big Well, maybe they counted the palace city and the moat as well.

After the little eunuch reported, Jiang Youde, the chief eunuch, came out.He showed that he was a little surprised to see Meng Changru and Zhou Jinyu standing together, but his expression flashed by, and a smile appeared on his face instantly, and he said respectfully to Meng Changru: "Master Meng, Long Live Lord is waiting for you inside, Come in with the slaves."

Meng Changru nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Jiang." Then he followed Jiang Youde in.

Jiang Youde didn't mention anything about Zhou Jinyu from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even want to look at her, so Zhou Jinyu could only wait patiently outside.

After waiting for about half an hour, Jiang Youde called Zhou Jinyu in when Meng Changru was about to leave the palace after seeing Emperor Tianshun.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Tianshun was alone, except for Jiang Youde, there were no maids and eunuchs serving him.

Zhou Jinyu followed Jiang Youde in with her head down, but she didn't dare to look up at Emperor Tianshun. After calculating the distance, she knelt down and said to Emperor Tianshun, "Little man, please greet Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty. "

After she finished shouting, she waited for a long time, but she didn't hear the voice of Emperor Tianshun telling her to get up, so she tentatively wanted to raise her head to see what Emperor Tianshun was doing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a pair of golden boots close at hand. The boots were wrapped with gold threads, forming the shape of golden dragons.

Zhou Jinyu was startled.

Looking up again, he really saw the serious face of Emperor Tianshun.

Emperor Tianshun snorted and asked her, "What are you looking at?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback by him. At this time, Emperor Tianshun was sitting on the steps of the imperial study room, looking down at Zhou Jinyu with his head down.

Emperor Tianshun asked coldly: "What are you shouting about? I am not that man-eating tiger and leopard!"

Zhou Jinyu kowtowed again, and when he raised his face again, his face changed into a smile: "Your Majesty, you are from the Son of Dragon."

Emperor Tianshun's originally cold expression eased a little, and he snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Jinyu, do you know what's wrong with your letter?"

Zhou Jinyu bit the bullet and said, "Got it..."

Emperor Tianshun pressed his hands on his knees, lowered his head and asked, "Where is the real letter?"

Zhou Jinyu quickly took out the letter from his sleeve, and presented it to Emperor Tianshun with both hands: "Go back to Your Majesty, it's here."

Emperor Tianshun took the letter and asked Zhou Jinyu: "Since you already know that this letter is true, then obviously, you have read everything in the letter."

Zhou Jinyu almost subconsciously denied it: "No, I..."

Emperor Tianshun raised his eyebrows, apparently in disbelief: "Huh?"

"Uh..." Zhou Jinyu thought about his words, and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, the villain only read the first few lines, but didn't read the end."

Emperor Tianshun waved his hand indifferently, and took out another letter from nowhere: "I don't care how much you read this letter, I just want to know how the two letters were switched? "

Zhou Jinyu replied: "The villain is investigating."

Emperor Tianshun said: "It's being investigated, that means it hasn't been found out yet."

Zhou Jinyu replied: "Your Majesty will allow the villain a few days, and the villain will definitely give His Majesty an explanation."

Emperor Tianshun was silent for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Zhou Jinyu, you should know that I can imagine that these two letters were exchanged by someone on purpose, or that this is simply a clever trick of yours. Deliberately throwing Yuan Zhao's letter to you in front of me!"

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Zhou Jinyu was speechless now, Emperor Tianshun's brain circuit is a bit powerful...

Emperor Tianshun raised his hand, tapped Zhou Jinyu's forehead, and asked her, "Zhou Jinyu, tell me, did you come here to sue Yuanzhao by changing the law, didn't you?"

Zhou Jinyu calmed down, raised his head and grinned, "Your Majesty, if the villain wanted to sue Princess Yuanzhao, he would definitely not use such a roundabout way. The villain has always been a straightforward person, and Your Majesty As a Youdao Mingjun, you cultivate yourself, govern your family, rule the country, and the world. You are worthy of the four words of "one emperor through the ages". Fearless entanglement? Therefore, if the villain wants to sue the princess, he will definitely sue in front of your face, and will not engage in petty tricks behind the scenes."

Emperor Tianshun said: "According to what you mean, you are going to sue my princess in front of me now?"

Zhou Jinyu grinned, and smiled slyly: "I don't dare, Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful, and you always deal with things fairly, you villain..."

"Shut your mouth for me!" Emperor Tianshun reacted, raised his hand to hit her, and said angrily as he hit her, "You bastard! How dare you set me up, huh? I'm used to you!"

"The villain doesn't dare..." Zhou Jinyu muttered, but he didn't dare to hide, so he had to obediently take a hit from Emperor Tianshun.

"You bastard! It's really abominable!" Emperor Tianshun felt annoyed when he hit her, he curled his index finger, and hit her again: "You just look down on my princess like that? You toad. , and provoked the swan meat, it really should be hit!"

With a "boom", she was hit again.

Zhou Jinyu's tears of pain were about to flow out, and it would be over when Emperor Tianshun had beaten enough and vented his anger.

Emperor Tianshun threw the letter from Wei Huanian into Zhou Jinyu's arms, and Zhou Jinyu immediately held it with both hands.

Emperor Tianshun was still angry at whatever he thought.

How much does Zhou Jinyu look down on Yuan Zhao?

In the past, Wei Huanian once confessed to Emperor Tianshun that he would never want to marry in his life.

Emperor Tianshun only thought of her as a young child at that time, and because of Wei Jingrui, he didn't force her anymore, and the delay dragged on for several years.

Later, Emperor Tianshun had the idea of ​​referring her to Feng Weizhi.

Speaking of this marriage, there is indeed a layer of Emperor Tianshun's intention to appease Han Tingxin.But in the final analysis, it was actually because Emperor Tianshun felt that if the two children Wei Huanian and Feng Weizhi stood together, they would look very right.

But what he never expected was that Wei Huanian would suddenly look at Zhou Jinyu.

Moreover, judging from Zhou Jinyu's meaning, it is obvious that he is extremely disgusted, which makes Emperor Tianshun puzzled.

Why does Zhou Jinyu look down on his daughter?

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianshun looked at Zhou Jinyu who was kneeling in front of him, and became even more angry. He suddenly saw that Zhou Jinyu was not pleasing to his eyes, and wanted to lift his foot to kick him.

At this time, Emperor Tianshun suddenly had a thought in his mind.

Emperor Tianshun stood up, looked down at Zhou Jinyu who was still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "If I make an order, I will marry Princess Yuanzhao to you..."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head in confusion: "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Tianshun ignored her, and continued coldly: "If you don't agree, I will kill you. I will copy your family and exterminate your family. Zhou Jinyu, do you still dare to disobey the order?"

Zhou Jinyu was startled, unable to figure out what Emperor Tianshun meant.

Xindao, what was said in the storybook is indeed correct, it is true that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, one moment was fine, and the next moment he said that he would ransack his family and exterminate his family.

But when he thought of ransacking his family and exterminating his family, Zhou Jinyu felt his whole body stiffen: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... the villain is really... really... I already have someone I like in my heart, villain..."

"Okay, okay!" Seeing her embarrassing cowardly look, Emperor Tianshun became even angrier when he saw her, and said angrily, "Get out, don't hang around in front of me, I'm annoyed!"
