In the evening, after Zhou Shuren came back to listen to the flower banquet, he told his wife what the Supreme Emperor told him.

Zhulan was handing out the bookkeeping, "Who do you think wrote the memorandum?"

Zhou Shuren snorted lightly, "Who wrote it doesn't matter? I, an important official who was valued by the emperor in both dynasties, is still too eye-catching."

Zhulan thought, "This memorial has two purposes. One is to test whether the emperor and our family have both intentions, and the other is to test whether our family intends to be the crown princess, with the purpose of exposing the Zhou family's ambitions and thus destroying the emperor's trust in the Zhou family."

Zhou Shuren fiddled with the glass vase, "It's a pity that they didn't know that I pushed the position of Prince Master before the emperor succeeded to the throne. Now it's just the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor tricked me."

Zhulan stared at her husband, "Don't pull the petals, why are your hands so owed? These are the flowers that a few granddaughters put in today."

Zhou Shuren's hand that pinched the petals loosened, his eyes full of regret. He had pinched them all, and he wanted to pull the petals in front of him!

Zhulan, "This also explains why Miss Shen's family is hostile to Yuyi. This is because she has heard some rumors."

Zhou Shuren nodded, and then said affirmatively: "Does the emperor want to designate the crown prince's concubine for the crown prince? Shen family, tsk, there is no chance."

Zhulan also felt that there was no chance. The Shen family was in serious internal strife. The emperor would not choose such a family. "By the way, is there a conclusion to the matter in the south?"

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "Well, you will be able to break it out in a few more days."

The emperor did not pass the court. After his own people handled it, he directly gave the order to the King of Chu. Even Rong Chuan left the capital in the name of errands. Only some well-informed people knew the news. Unfortunately, it was too late to pass the news. The emperor hid it so well.

Zhulan said with some meaning: "So after the emperor ascended the throne, he burned a big fire in the south. There will be many people in the south, and there will be some place for Changlian Pingshi."

Zhou Shuren, “Yes.”

After this cleanup, the emperor will choose a loyal official, and the Zhou family is the force supported by the emperor. Chang Lian's mobilization no longer requires him to plan, and the emperor will make arrangements. Therefore, although the south is still in chaos after the cleanup, it is a good place to go.

He is in the capital, and some forces in Jiangnan will be concerned about him and will also have some concerns about Chang Lian if they want to attack him. This is exactly what the emperor wants. As long as Chang Lian takes root in the south, it is the sharp blade that the emperor has stuck in the south. Of course, opportunities and danger coexist, and danger must be there.

Zhulan sorted out the account book, "Dong took Ming Ling and returned to Beijing, and I don't know if the little guy can stand the long journey."

Zhou Shuren knew this youngest grandson only in his son's letter, "Chang Lian said he had already recuperated and the temperature is not high now, just suitable for travel, don't worry about it."

Zhulan, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. It's getting late, so get up and wash and rest."

Zhou Shuren was unwilling to move. Now he was lazy when he got home. He lay down for a while before getting up to wash up.

The next day, with the noble ladies of Huayan returning home, the dictation that the four girls of Zhou Shangshu's family became famous, the eldest daughter of Zhou Shangshu's third son, and the young girl who used to be quite unknown. After Huayan, she had a new understanding of this unknown girl.

From Yuyi, the daughter, the men thought of Zhou Changlian, the third son of Zhou Shangshu, who had excellent ratings every year. It was time to mobilize again. People who didn’t know the rumors only thought that the fourth girl of the Zhou family was a good candidate for her daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law.

The Shen family was exposed, while others who were more informed were waiting for the movement in the palace.

No matter what, Zhou Yuyi and the four girls of the Zhou family became famous in one battle.

In the palace, it was rare for the emperor to come to the queen's bedroom when he got off the morning court. It was because he was too busy yesterday and didn't go back to the harem. Today he came to have something to say to the queen.

The emperor walked into the hall and grabbed the emperor to meet with the queen, "You and my husband don't need to be too polite."

Since I talked with the queen, the emperor has been very satisfied with his wife and has gotten more casual with her.

The queen responded with a smile on her lips. Her joy was sincere. No matter how many people there were in the harem, she was the only one who was his wife, and she was the only one who deserved to stand beside the emperor.

The emperor handed the list in his hand to the queen, "Look at this list."

The queen took it in confusion, and saw that the names, age, family background and other records of the girls in the boudoir were clearly recorded. The queen understood, "Is this?"

The emperor sat down and made tea with his own hands, "That's what you think, this is the list I have screened."

The queen looked at the list quickly, but she didn't see the name she wanted to see. She paid attention to the situation of yesterday's flower banquet for her son, so she had a very good understanding of it.

The queen did think of the Zhou family's granddaughter, but she had a better choice, so she just thought about it, but yesterday the performance of the four girls in the Zhou family made her think a lot.

The emperor naturally saw the queen frowning. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the four girls of the Zhou family yesterday, he wouldn't have just finished the work and brought the list. His original intention was to ventilate with the queen for a while and test the Wen family's actions.

The emperor spoke, "The father has an oral order, and the Zhou family has been loyal to the emperor for generations."

Well, this is what the father wants to express, and he also thinks so. Now, through his father's oral order, he can save explanations.

The queen's eyes stagnated, "I understand."

The emperor nodded and said, "There is no hurry to choose this list. The prince is still young, so you have plenty of time to consider it."

The queen saw the name of the person she originally liked on the list, "Yeah."

After the emperor left, the queen was in a good mood. The Zhou family was only loyal to the emperor, which meant that the Zhou family would only have a Qin princess and would not marry the royal family in the future. This was great.

The queen also lamented the foresight of the Secretary of Zhou. If it weren't for the Secretary of Zhou's intention, the father and the emperor would not have trusted him so much. At the same time, she also mentioned Yang's status in her heart, because Yang really could teach her granddaughter.

In fact, there is another fundamental reason why the Zhou family’s granddaughter is outstanding. The Zhou family’s granddaughter has maintained his character. Every girl has her own personality, which makes her look smart among the noble girls.

Because the emperor had no intention of involving the Zhou family in the dispute over the Crown Princess again, the emperor directly refuted the memorial, which was the emperor's most intuitive reply.

Zhou Shuren also paid attention to the comments and was the first to know the emperor's actions. The emperor bluntly showed his trust in the Zhou family, but also sent a signal that his descendants would be reused.

Of course, the meaning behind this is not obvious. We will only be clear when things in the south break out.

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren noticed that Zhang Jinghong peeked at him several times, "What are you going to say?"

Zhang Jinghong, "Nothing."

Zhou Shuren looked over again, and Zhang Jinghong had already sorted out the accounts carefully. After observing for a while, he didn't find anything. Zhou Shuren let go and stopped paying attention.

Why did Zhang Jinghong look at Shangshu Zhou more because he thought of his son. At present, his orphanage in the previous dynasty had a good life, but he was afraid that the royal family would not be able to tolerate his descendants in the end.
