Chapter 39

Seeing Zhou Yiyun and his son hurriedly saluted with smiles on their faces, Mammy invited them into the Queen's Palace, Bao Bao took her hand and greeted cordially: "How is Mammy?"

"Mumma saw you, everything is alright." Then she said to Zhou Yiyun: "The Empress has been thinking about the little masters."

Queen Guo sat on the phoenix table, smiling at the approaching father and son.

"My son Zhou Yiyun and his son pay respects to the queen mother."

"Get up, it's been a few years since we parted. Come here and let Grandma Huang take a look at Baobao." After Baobao approached, Empress Guo looked at it carefully, touching her small face with moist eye circles, and Baobao also Regardless of any etiquette, Baobao gently hugged her and comforted her: "Baobao has always missed Grandma Huang. When I saw Grandma Huang today, she was still as beautiful and her complexion was good. Baobao felt relieved."

Empress Guo wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes: "Baobao, sit down and talk to Grandma Huang, why didn't Boubu and Xiaoxiao come over?"

Bao Bao grinned: "My younger brothers don't understand etiquette, so they didn't bring them here because they were afraid of doing something out of line."

"Then I'll just teach you slowly, and I'll bring it in another day. Grandma Huang really likes the temperament of the two babies." Looking at Zhou Yiyun again, he asked, "Why didn't the eleventh prince go to court today?"

Zhou Yiyun replied with some embarrassment: "I entered the palace late and missed the court hour."

"You, this lazy look will inevitably teach you a lesson, and you have to change it. My son is already so old, so don't follow suit." Queen Guo said seriously.

"Yes, my son will definitely change it." He laughed and didn't look serious at all.

Empress Guo compared the father and son: "The bag really looks like you, and it looks more and more like you. There is also Boo Boo and Xiao Xiao, which makes me like it."

"Mother, are you praising your ministers or praising your grandson?"

Empress Guo glanced at Zhou Yiyun with a smile and ignored him, she just patted Bao Bao on the back without saying a few words.Eunuch Li asked the emperor to summon the eleventh prince and his son Zhou Zheng, and Empress Guo sent the father and son out of the Queen's Palace with a sigh of reluctance.

Along the way, Baobao and Eunuch Li had a good chat: "Eunuch, Baobao knows that you are a flower lover, so I specially brought back a pot of Clivia for you. On the carriage outside the palace, Baobao will leave the palace in a while. Follow me Bring them in together, the flowers are green and straight sword leaves, the flowers are bright orange, and there is a faint fragrance, which is refreshing, and Daddy calls it Clivia."

"This is the first time this old slave has heard of this flower. Clivia is such a good name. This old slave would like to thank my little master for the reward."

Zhou Yiyun looked at Baobao's various actions in the palace this time, frowned slightly, and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Li, how is your father's health in recent years?"

"Back to the Eleventh Prince, the Holy Majesty is fine, but there are some knots in my heart that are difficult to untie. The old slave is not blessed and has no children, and I don't know how to persuade the Holy Majesty to be relieved."

"Eunuch Li, what are you talking about? I'm not filial and can't be with my father all the time. It's thanks to you accompanying Huang Banjia to take care of my father. Zhou Yiyun is here to thank you."

"Eleventh Prince, this... You can't do this, this is what this old slave should do, it is my blessing to serve the Holy Majesty."

A group of people came to the Chaoyi Hall, there were no more civil and military officials in the hall, Zhou Yuhuang was furious at Zhou Yiyun, and reprimanded: "Eleven princes, the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not come to the court early, I see you I'm used to idleness, and I don't pay attention to me anymore."

"Father, please calm down. My son returned from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty on a bumpy journey. After returning home, he felt uncomfortable..."

Zhou Yuhuang threw a pen at him: "Stop fooling me with these things, jumping up and down all day long, as long as you want to go, who can stop you? Now you can't stand the bumps for a few days? You are old in front of me. Is it enough to be an old man?" Looking at the emperor's grandson in the palace, think about it or forget it, let him save some face in front of his son-in-law: "This time the old twelve has done a good job, and you, as an older brother, are also considered meritorious." , I plan to let the old twelve go to the Ministry of Rites to train." Zhou Yuhuang changed the subject: "What do you think, grandson?"

"Father, how can a child like him comment on the government."

Zhou Yuhuang looked at him coldly: "My old eleven is really promising, dare to refute me now?"

Zhou Yiyun knelt down and begged for mercy: "I dare not."

Zhou Yuhuang ignored him and let him kneel, then turned to Baobao: "Imperial grandson, what am I asking you?"

Bao Bao also knelt down and said: "My lord, Zhou Zheng is not an imperial official, so he should not comment rashly, but Bao Bao wanted to answer Grandpa Huang, it would be a blessing if Twelfth Uncle could get this appointment and exercise, but Twelfth Uncle has never Participating in political affairs, no one to take care of me, I'm afraid that the newcomers will act inappropriately."

The corner of Zhou Yuhuang's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said in a flat tone: "The sixth prince is in the Ministry of Rites."

Baobao smiled and asked, "Is that the sixth uncle?" After Zhou Yuhuang nodded, Baobao continued, "That's good, with the sixth uncle taking care of him, and the twelfth uncle being smart, the two brothers work together, and they will be able to do things with ease, but... ..." Zhou Yuhuang waited calmly for his next words.Baobao bit her lower lip, and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Twelfth hasn't married Sister-in-law Twelfth to Baobao yet. Uncle Twelfth and Baobao had discussed it before. The mansion can often find bags to play with, and if he can be the backyard of the Ministry of Rites and someone manages it, Twelfth Uncle will have no worries in the future."

Zhou Yuhuang squinted at the 12-year-old grandson, Zhou Yiyun also squinted at his own son, only Baobao looked at Zhou Yuhuang with a smile, as if begging for a reward.Zhou Yuhuang laughed heartily: "Okay, get up, Eunuch Li took my dictation and bag to the old twelve to reward."

After Eunuch Li and Baobao left the court hall, Zhou Yiyun, who was kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I have one more thing to ask Father for permission."

As the bag left the hall, Zhou Yuhuang's smile also disappeared: "Let's talk."

"I would like to ask my father to allow the second brother to guard the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Zhou Yuhuang's heart skipped a beat: "Why?"

"Father, Qingyunsai of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is the place where my son lived for five years. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, and the folk customs are simple. Brother Erhuang's health has not improved. It must be beneficial to change the environment. It is safe and worry-free there. I can assure you."

"Eastern Zhou was the one who reformed and innovated on your own, so let your second brother win it?"

"I dare not lie to my father. Although I am far away from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I can control all the officials there. I just think of brotherhood and can't bear the depression of the second brother being detained in the mansion. I appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou. Returning to the countryside, waiting for his body to be healthy and peaceful, and then returning to court to do his best for his father, it can be considered that he has accepted filial piety."

"Oh...you have a heart." As he got older, Zhou Yuhuang couldn't bear the two sons who were imprisoned. They are connected by flesh and blood. Remember the love between father and son.It is often not a good thing for power to have a stable life with only a name: "You step down first, and I will think about it later."

Baobao raised the curtains of the car and chatted with Li Jin outside the car, and occasionally glanced at Zhou Yiyun with a serious expression, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, wondering if this was what his father said, the calm before the storm.The father and son entered the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, Zhou Yiyun took the bag into the study, sneaked to the servants, and asked Baobao sternly: "Who instructed you to do what you did today?"

Bao Bao sat on the chair, not knowing why: "I don't know what father asked?"

"The closeness to Eunuch Li and Nanny made your grandpa bestow a marriage on your twelfth uncle." Zhou Yiyun frowned, as cold as ice.

Looking at his father like this, Baobao couldn't accept it. He pouted and said aggrievedly: "When Father Huang and Daddy were not in Beijing, the two of them took good care of Baobao. Last time Baobao brought his younger brother into the palace, they He didn't make things difficult for our brothers because of poor etiquette, and he still said good things about us in front of the emperor's grandpa and grandma, Baobao is just repaying kindness with kindness, and repaying kindness with virtue." Seeing Zhou Yiyun relax some bags, he also exhaled: "I heard from my father before that he used his relatives to strengthen the court, so my son thinks that Uncle Twelve has someone to help... Besides, Uncle Twelve always stays in the palace, so it is not easy for Baobao to see him."

"Your father can teach those things that are not on the table. If a father wants to achieve success by himself, how can he rely on the power of his relatives? This is a taboo. Although the Eunuch Li next to your grandpa and the nanny next to your grandma are not A high official position, but also a favored minister, don’t offend villains, it’s good to be good at wooing.” Zhou Yiyun approached Baobao and hugged him lightly: “Remember what my father said, a tree is as beautiful as a forest, and the wind will destroy it That. A gentleman works hard all day long, and is vigilant at night, so there is no blame.”

"Brother." A repeated call came from far and near, Xiaoxiao couldn't keep his hands free, and pushed the study door open with his little butt, and the two dolls rushed in, followed by Liu Xu and the informer Li Jin, Liu Xu After seeing that there was no trace of punishment at the scene, he glared at Li Jin.Bubu went to Baobao and distributed the things he bought on the street to his brother, smiling with a small mask in his left hand and candied haws in his right, squinting at Zhou Yiyun: "Hi brother, why did father punish brother?"

"Father, I'm taking my younger brothers out." Baobao smiled, held Bubu and said.

Zhou Yiyun waved his hand, and the three brothers went out in style, and Li Jin hurriedly followed, fearing that they would catch fire.Liu Xu knocked on the table and asked, "Why did the bag mess with you, with such an ugly expression?"

Zhou Yiyun was a little worried after talking about what happened in the palace: "Virtue and talent are revealed, eye-catching, vigilant, alas..."

Liu Xu was not as worrying as he was, and crossed his legs to persuade: "Father's love for Baobao is not a day or two, and it is not a moment to attract people's attention. You are just worried that he is young and has no ability to protect himself. That's just right. It's time to study hard and practice hard." Pulling Zhou Yiyun's hand: "Aren't we still there?"

Zhou Yiyun laughed out of his sorrow, and clasped his hands tightly: "Yes, there are us."

"I want you to ask your father for a favor. My father is old and sick for a long time, so he is really not suitable to stay in the officialdom. He is willing to sue the official and go back to hiding. I have already found a good place to go. It is the Zhuangzi in the country, which is my filial piety." And me. Since Bubu and Xiaoxiao were born, my body is not as good as before, and my energy is limited. I have a lack of energy for banquets and the like. Now my only wish is to teach my youngest son well, and my father can push me down. "

"For you, I will convince Father to make it perfect." Zhou Yiyun kissed the back of his hand lightly: "Xu'er..." His face was touched, and Liu Xu joked, shaking the hand kissed by him: "Did you go to the toilet just now?" handwashing."

Zhou Yiyun looked sincere: "I don't care about that for my husband." Liu Xu felt bored when he punched the cotton.
