The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 258 What does the prince mean? (2)
Zhou Yi followed the Empress Dowager Wei into the main hall, sat on the carved chair with the lower head of the Empress Dowager Wei, with a bit of indifference in his sculpted brows, and raised his head and said: "This king thinks that the emperor is still young, and it is not suitable for him to grow up now." Marriage, if the Empress Dowager is anxious about this matter because she wants the emperor to be in charge as soon as possible, there is no need for it."

A hint of doubt flashed across the Empress Dowager Wei's eyebrows, and she said, "What does the lord mean?"

"My king heard from Imperial Physician Du that the emperor is young, so it may not be a good thing to open up Hongmeng prematurely. Besides, the youngest daughter of Taifu Kang's family is only 13 years old now, so there is no need for the empress dowager to act too hastily." Zhou Yi finished speaking, He turned his head and glanced at Empress Dowager Wei.

The Empress Dowager Wei smiled and said: "My lord just came from the imperial study, but have you met the emperor? The lord really loves the emperor more and more now. He told Ai's family earlier that he didn't want to establish a concubine. Unexpectedly And invited the prince to be a lobbyist."

Zhou Yi heard the words, but his eyebrows were still indifferent, stood up and said to Queen Mother Wei: "The emperor has grown up and has his own ideas. Shouldn't the queen mother be happy? The queen mother was worried that the emperor was obsessed with Zhao Jing, and now Zhao Jing is going to get married soon. Now, the Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry about it."

"You... how do you know!" Queen Mother Wei frowned and said, after thinking about what Zhou Yi said, there was some truth in it, and she said, "Forget it, what you said also made some sense. After all, the emperor is young. Later things can be postponed.”

She opened her mouth lightly, raised her eyebrows with a cup of tea, and turned to ask Zhou Yi, "Does the lord know when Zhao Jing will get married? She followed me, and now she is going to get married, so I have to prepare for her. A few things to add makeup."

"May [-]th." Zhou Yi put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at Queen Mother Wei, and continued: "As for adding makeup, there is no need, this king and the emperor have already discussed it."

"You!" The Empress Dowager Wei stood up from the chair and saw that Zhou Yi had already walked outside the palace. She stood there and watched the figure turn away from the palace gate. It kept churning, as if it would never calm down.

Zhou Yi turned away from Yongshou Palace, he paused at the door for a moment, he could even see the gilded buckle on the palace door from the corner of his sight.He sighed, raised his head and walked forward, facing the scorching sun at noon, he saw a slender figure standing on the corner of the palace wall.

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, it couldn't be her, the maids in the palace were all wearing the same clothes and combing the same hairstyle, but it was rare that they even stood in the same posture as that person.He continued to walk forward, and he didn't stop until he was behind the maid.The man turned around in front of him, half of his body was hidden in the shadow of the palace wall, he raised his head to look at him and said: "My lord, do you still remember my servant?"

Zhou Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyelids and said, "Aunt Chunxiu, are you waiting for me on purpose?"

Chunxiu couldn't help twisting her fingers as she twisted the handkerchief. Looking at Zhou Yi's eyes showing a trace of fear, she dared to say, "My lord, this servant wants to leave the palace."

"You want to leave the palace, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Yi looked at Chunxiu playfully, with a trace of teasing and puzzlement in his eyes.

The man still straightened his back, bit his lips and said: "My lord, this servant was sent to the palace by the princess with Zhao Jing back then, and the princess told the servant that Zhao Jing belonged to her..."

When she said this, she suddenly felt a tightness in her throat, and Zhou Yi's palms like iron tongs had already pressed down on her slender neck.Her body rose slowly against the palace wall behind her, and her whole body almost left the ground. She screamed in surprise, looked at Zhou Yi with eyes full of horror, and struggled to breathe heavily.

"Wang... my lord... if you kill me... this... this secret... I really can't keep it... My lord, do you want to give it a try..."

Her eyes were fixed on Zhou Yi, the tighter and tighter the clamp on her jaw made her unable to breathe at all, her face flushed and she breathed hard, her eyes were bloodshot, and she kept pulling her hands to hold herself The big palm on the neck was useless, and Zhou Yi's big palm was still slowly tightening, so tight that she couldn't even draw the slightest breath.Just as she resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes to wait for death, the restraint on her neck suddenly loosened.

Chunxiu's whole body fell limply on the ground, and the air that suddenly entered her lung cavity made her cough. She leaned against the cold palace wall behind her, looked up at Zhou Yi, panting heavily.

Zhou Yi's loosened hand was hidden behind his back and he clenched his fist secretly. His face was cold and expressionless, and he glanced at her and said, "You give me peace of mind. After Zhao Jing's wedding, I will beg you to the Queen Mother."

Chunxiu's body trembled violently, and the sun shining on Zhou Yi's body was particularly dazzling. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Yi's leaving back, and shouted with all her strength: "Your Majesty promises everything, that servant is waiting for you at Yongshou Palace." It's my lord."
