Chapter 1255 Slap His Head
The emperor came out to greet them. When he reached the door, he originally wanted to wait for Zhou Shiyue to come in, but he stopped and looked. He saw Zhou Shiyue standing outside the threshold and had no intention of stepping in.
"Haha, Ayue is really back."
The emperor said another sentence, stepped out of the threshold, came over, grabbed Zhou Shiyue's arm with both hands and patted him.
Wow~ the arms look so strong.
Zhou Shiyue let out a soft “hiss”.
"It hurts."
It sounds like the arm is about to be swollen from being slapped by the emperor.
emperor:"......"
Are you pretending?
He wanted to say that Zhou Shiyue's arms were very strong, so he cried out in pain?
"Your Majesty's grip has suddenly become stronger?"
But Zhou Shiyue's words were not actually meant to tease the emperor.
His perception is very strong.
The emperor patted his arm like this just now, and Zhou Shiyue really felt that the emperor's hand was powerful.
It didn’t exist before.
Whenever the emperor patted him like this before, his wrist was soft and weak.
"Are you teasing your brother?" The emperor smiled, but still let him go. "With your sturdy body, my strength is just like tickling you. What strength do you have?"
"Your Majesty seems to be in great spirits. I am not joking."
Really?
The emperor almost wanted to tell that incident impulsively.
The second child’s baby might very well be the lucky star that protects the emperor!
The emperor secretly asked the people in the Imperial Observatory about this matter and guessed it, but he did not even tell the concubine and the second prince about it.
They just thought that the child looked a lot like him and could smile at him, so they had a connection with him, so he doted on that child.
In fact, it’s not that simple!
Is he the kind of person who would easily show such great favor to others just for a small thing?
no!
Because I calculated that the child might be a lucky star!
And it’s a little lucky star who looks a lot like him.
If this is a blessing for others, he will not care. But it may be a blessing for him, which is very rare.
Someone from the Imperial Observatory recently recommended a master named Kongsui to him.
This master has been traveling around the world, is knowledgeable, and has profound Buddhist knowledge. The emperor trusts and admires his abilities very much.
Master Kong Sui also calculated for him and said that Prince Jin and he were not in conflict.
The emperor was half-believing and half-doubting this point. But at least he did not calculate that the Prince of Jin would defeat him and would harm him, so he believed it for the time being.
"Maybe it's because Ayue has sent me a lot of good news recently, which makes me feel very excited. Especially the battle of Yulan Pass, which gave me a sense of heroism and made me want to fight those ambitious enemies in person."
"This person, with great ambitions, will never grow old and will be full of strength," said the emperor.
Zhou Shiyue: “…”
The Sixteen Fishbone Guards of the Great Zhou were all killed.
Your military camp in the southwest was almost stabbed to pieces by the enemy, and all your generals were killed. There was a snowstorm in Subei, and there were so many victims. Some people even reached out to the Subei camp. Have you forgotten all this?
It's all good news and it's encouraging.
Among so many things, the only thing I remember was the victory at Yulan Pass.
His royal brother had a problem, which was that he always subconsciously wanted to avoid facing those more difficult and complicated things.
It is now manifested here.
There were those things that needed to be dealt with, and there were still deeply hidden enemies and spies who had not been caught. There was a lack of money for disaster relief due to the snow disaster, and post-disaster reconstruction was also a hassle. The emperor chose to ignore these for the time being.
He would then bring it up again during the morning court session to listen to the arguments and opinions of the ministers, and then choose a method that would have more support.
Zhou Shiyue had seen through this royal brother.
The emperor in his jade pendant also had a dark face.
All good news?
Excited? Excited as hell!
The emperor wished he could jump out of the jade pendant at this moment and poke the emperor's nose with his fingers.
"Ayue, come in and tell me what's going on in Subei now."
"Xiao Tanzi, go get someone to prepare dinner. Ayue and I won't be home until we are drunk tonight."
"According to the order."
Eunuch Qin bowed and walked out.
Zhou Shiyue walked into the hall and took a quick look.
The palace still stank of women's powder. As for the smell of alcohol, of course there was. The emperor's face was red from drinking. He reeked of alcohol when I was talking to him just now. Is there any need to say anything?
The emperor also followed his gaze.
There was no time to clean up the things in the hall, but little Tanzi was still smart. He quickly took away two wine glasses and gathered several dishes of side dishes together. There was only one wine glass left on the table, as if he was drinking alone.
Well, Xiao Tanzi is a reward.
"I've been thinking about you returning to Beijing soon these days, and I'm a little happy for a while. And today I feel like drinking for some reason, so I'm just having a few drinks."
"Ayue, can you drink now? Come and have a couple of drinks with me, and we can talk while we drink."
The emperor took Zhou Shiyue to drink in the palace, and Zhou Shiyue picked and chose and told him everything that needed to be told.
Even the retired emperor couldn't say anything wrong with him even though he was listening.
Zhou Shiyue was very cunning in mixing some things with other things, and the emperor probably didn't listen to them at all.
The emperor had already drunk quite a bit before, and now Zhou Shiyue skillfully made him drink a few more cups, making him feel a little dizzy.
The emperor, in turn, was tricked by Zhou Shiyue.
For example, Concubine Shu and the Second Prince.
After listening for a long time, the emperor was speechless.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived and is waiting outside the palace. Would you like to invite His Majesty into the palace?" Eunuch Qin walked over and whispered to the emperor.
The emperor paused with the wine glass raised to his lips.
He looked at Zhou Shiyue, "Zhou Ze probably misses you more than I do. Look, you've rushed here now. Is there something important that you can't wait until tomorrow to talk about?"
The emperor listened and became furious.
As a father, even if he is biased in private, at least he should be fair in public.
Before, he accompanied Zhou Ling and his mother here and drank until his face was as red as a monkey's butt. Now that Zhou Ze comes here, he has to be suspicious?
If Zhou Ze heard this, he would be so sad.
The retired emperor couldn't help but float out of the jade pendant, but he did not show up.
Zhou Shiyue could see him.
He paused and gave the emperor a look that said "take it easy".
The retired emperor floated to the emperor's side, raised his hand, and fanned the emperor on the head.
The hand didn't hit the emperor's head, but it brought up a gust of cold wind.
The emperor suddenly felt a wind blowing over his head, and it was very cold.
It's almost summer, this shouldn't be happening.
The emperor reached out and touched the top of his head.
The imperial crown was no longer worn, but the hair was cold.
"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Tan asked again in a low voice, "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Since he's here, let him in!" The emperor was a little unhappy, but the prince's performance had been quite good recently, and he couldn't find any fault with the prince.
