Chapter 918: Chapter 731: Flowers? Cow Dung? (Part 2)
Even Zhou Mu shook his head helplessly, trying to suppress his laughter.
“Shouting in the Heavenly Palace, what kind of decorum is this! Must you insist on having Mr. Ban Shan come over before you’re satisfied?” Han Qiu spoke solemnly, giving a respectful salute to the two seated on the Dragon and Phoenix Chair, “The marriage discussion is imminent, and Mr. Ban Shan does not allow the son-in-law and his wife to meet. They should restrain themselves under the eyes of the elder, otherwise, the broom is no joke!”
Those who knew the inside story lowered their heads and chuckled quietly.
In recent days, the Imperial Husband has been chased with a broom by Mr. Ban Shan quite often. The scene is truly disillusioning!
Thinking of Changsheng’s foster father, Mr. Ban Shan, Zhou Mu, leaning on the Dragon and Phoenix Chair, rubbed his forehead reluctantly, “Indeed, but I think Hetian seems to listen to you more.”
Han Qiu immediately blushed and lowered his head without speaking.
“Haha… Such a rare good mood, Zhou Rong, is it? You really know how to talk; you’ve amused me, made me laugh. I’ll grant you one wish, speak!” Gu Changsheng laughed as he addressed this.
“Hey!” Zhou Rong instantly beamed upon hearing this, took a step forward to speak, but was silenced by a cold glance from Zhou Zongbao, and had to implore his Princess Consort with eager eyes.
Seeing her Prince’s eyes twitching almost to cramps, the Lady of Prince Rong stepped forward, gracefully bowed to Gu Changsheng, “My lord is somewhat lacking in courtesy, showing the Southern Emperor this is embarrassing indeed. Thankfully the Southern Emperor doesn’t punish us, I only have one awkward request, may I ask if the Southern Emperor could agree?”
“Don’t worry, speak freely,” Gu Changsheng waved his hand heartily.
“Please allow us as a couple to occasionally come for a meal, to experience the cuisine of the Southern Country!” The Lady of Prince Rong closed her eyes, appearing resolute.
“Haha…” Gu Changsheng burst into another round of laughter upon hearing this.
Nearby, Zhou Zongbao already felt utterly embarrassed, turning his back in frustration.
How could the couple be so bold as to publicly ask to freeload a meal? For the Great Zhou people, it’s quite disgraceful! Quite disgraceful!
The female officials of the Southern Country in the hall covered their lips, laughing discreetly. The Imperial Family of the Great Zhou, they find it rather likable?
Though the speech was not very pleasant, it warmed the hearts of the Southern Country’s people!
The Lady of Prince Rong felt embarrassed by the laughter, blushingly explained quickly, “The Southern Emperor might not know, people of this world have their own preferences. My lord has favored the pleasures of food since childhood and has somewhat of an insight; I’m only good with pen and ink. My lord is passionate about tasting delicacies and writing a book about it, so I must follow along.”
Beside him, silenced by Zhou Zongbao, Zhou Rong nodded quickly. Even if he is a foodie, he is a foodie with ideals and aspirations!
“Haha… Fine, fine, fine! I grant you permission! In the Heavenly Palace here, there are over a hundred imperial chefs, whether it’s Southern Border Bashu or Southern Chen County cuisine, none pose a challenge. If you’re willing, feel free to come to my palace to freeload!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng found it amusing, in an exceptionally good mood, not minding the cost of food, but continued by pointing to Xiao Leizi standing nearby with slight regret, “Only in my palace, if it’s about culinary skills, Xiao Leizi who I personally taught is the best; but given her current status, she might not be suitable to remain in the kitchen…”
This must mean that not all who belong together enter the same household, right?
Xiao Leizi excels in cooking skills, her background clear, and a foodie cousin in the family!
Chaotic Imperial Family, what a mess!
“Madam! What do you mean?” Xiao Leizi was shocked upon hearing this.
Even upon hearing her own origins previously, she wasn’t so surprised!
By Madam’s words, is it she’s no longer wanted? She’s no longer wanted?
Gu Changsheng looked at Xiao Leizi, who had thrown herself beside her, pulling at her skirt, raised a hand to stroke her updo while speaking with a smile, “My Xiao Leizi is remarkable; your mother is the Great Zhou’s Eldest Princess Jinyang, your father is the retired elder Du Mingli, even though the Eldest Princess Jinyang caused chaos and fled the palace, she still passed away abroad…”
Gu Changsheng raised her head to look at the cloth skirt and delicate hairpin-wearing Princess Liyang, her lips curled slightly, “Now that Emperor Zhoulian is old, there’s nothing more joyous for an elder than having many descendants! Hetian, take them to see Emperor Zhoulian, let them return to their ancestral lineage!”
This matter is best left to Zhou Zongbao, adored by Emperor Zhoulian, even if there’s residual anger, he can handle it.
“Alright.” Zhou Zongbao nodded, glanced at Xiao Leizi with a smile. He was usually quite laid-back, with Gu Changsheng being a Mother Tigress, he never dared to pay attention to those around her. Now it seems he was negligent.
After looking at Xiao Leizi, Zhou Zongbao turned his attention to Princess Liyang, shook his head helplessly, “Liyang, you’re too rash. Men should marry, women should wed. The Princess Consort Hui only mentioned your matrimony at the palace banquet, your Imperial Grandfather didn’t actually approve the suitors she mentioned, yet you fled home with no further contact!”
“Granddaughter has sinned, please punish me, Grandpa Bao!” Although Zhou Zongbao is not much older than everyone else, the hierarchy is evident, Princess Liyang knelt as soon as she heard, but her hand held Wang Man’s firmly.
“Forget it, forget it! This Imperial Family has inexplicably gained a daughter of an Eldest Princess; it’s fine! It’s fine! Now there’s a resurrected Commandery Princess returning with her husband and son, thinking about it makes my head ache for the Imperial Clan! Headache!” Zhou Zongbao waved his hand helplessly, “Let’s go with Young Master!”
“No! I won’t go! I won’t go!”
