After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of the downcast son

Chapter 35 Face to face

Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

Outside the imperial study, Zhou Sining was waiting outside with lowered eyebrows and respectful eyes, waiting for the summons from inside. She thought that since the emperor was summoning her to appear before him, she would not have to wait long, but it took more than two quarters of an hour for her to stand there.

.

And when the internal official who came in came out, he didn't even look at her and just stood aside.

Zhou Sining's lips pursed tighter and tighter, hehe, were he planning to give her a penalty stand without even asking? She was a penalty stand, who was afraid of whom? It would be great if He Beiting was here, look at him

Her face was not afraid even if she stood there all day. It was a pity that there was no order to enter or leave the palace at will, so he could only send her to the palace gate.

It was really hard for her to stand here alone.

More than a quarter of an hour later, just as Zhou Sining was about to make a move, the door of the royal study room opened from the inside, and an older internal official walked out, lowering his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Xuan Zhou has come in to have an audience."

.”

Zhou Sining leaned forward slightly and said the blessing, and then walked in with his eyes, nose, and heart in mind, his steps were neither hasty nor slow, and his face was calm.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Sining, bows to the Emperor, long live the Emperor." As soon as he entered, Zhou Sining saluted and bowed, and when he knelt down to worship, he quickly glanced at the situation in the room with the corner of his eye.

The emperor sat upright with a serious face; the second prince stood on the left, looking evil; the grandfather sat on the right with a calm expression and did not notice the secret guard.

"Zhou Sining, tell me about Longyuan Temple." The emperor did not call out, but asked directly.

Zhou Sihai lowered his eyebrows and replied in a warm voice: "Back to the emperor, I have only been to the back mountain of Longyuan Temple. The back mountain is very rugged and difficult to navigate except for the deep forests and lush grass. I have no other impression of you."

Master Zhou's beard trembled, and he lowered his eyes to hide the smile that welled up in his eyes. Well, that's absolutely right. If you ask about Longyuan Temple, then answer Longyuan Temple. It's a good thing that Ning Yatou is quick to respond, but if it attracts the emperor's attention more and more,

This is not a good thing. Fortunately, the He family boy sent the marriage certificate to the house a few days ago, otherwise it would be difficult to evade it this time.

The emperor glanced at Zhou Sining nonchalantly, and his reaction was really smart. When I asked you to talk about Longyuan Temple, you took it seriously and said you went to Longyuan Temple. Well, you didn't hide the fact that you went to the back mountain at all, but you didn't say anything.

.

The Emperor: "Then tell me why you went to the back mountain."

Zhou Sining: "Back to the emperor, I was invited by my second sister."

Well, it's another truth, but it's equivalent to saying nothing.

The emperor glanced at Old Master Zhou and said with a smile: "Old Master, your granddaughter is very interesting."

Master Zhou: "Your Majesty, you are so flattering! This girl grew up in the old capital, and was spoiled by her eldest grandmother and got into some bad habits. I am thinking about how to correct her."

After listening to her grandfather's words, Zhou Sining pursed her lips. Her grandfather went to the palace to complain, but the second prince not only refused to admit it, but also grabbed her all over her body. The emperor also took the opportunity to bring himself into the palace because his grandfather sued his son.

Come.

Well, what should I do if I suddenly want to overturn this imperial power?

The emperor's eyebrows twitched, then I will come and help you correct it.

"Spring outings, palace banquets, one after another, you and my second prince have become entangled. After you accidentally slipped down the mountain behind Longyuan Temple, you and my second prince were alone in the forest.

It's been a long time, Zhou Sining, tell me yourself, how should I deal with you?"

No wonder He Beiting mentioned Qingyu when he came. It turned out that he was sure that Chu Yuming would use Houshan as a monster. However, when he just entered the court, the emperor asked him to go to the Martial Arts Department. At this time, he still hid the engagement.

good.

Zhou Sining pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then kowtowed:

"Your Majesty clearly saw that when my daughter and everyone were on a spring outing, His Royal Highness the Second Prince only passed by on the road without stopping. My daughter and everyone also observed the etiquette and bowed from a distance, and there was nothing wrong with this.

Your Majesty has summoned Miss Zhang, Miss Wang, and Miss Xie... I will tell you after I ask."

The emperor's eyes darkened. If he really summoned these ladies from the boudoir, the censors would have something to do in the court tomorrow morning.

Zhou Si would rather ignore what the emperor was thinking and continued:

"As for the accidental fall into the water on the day of the palace banquet, I was indeed helped by His Highness the Second Prince when I came out of the water. At that time, I didn't know which His Highness the prince was. Only when I arrived at Zhenghe Hall did I find out that it was the Second Prince.

Your Highness, I have already explained the situation in public and solemnly thanked His Highness the Second Prince. The Queen and everyone at the banquet have personally experienced this."

Well, I have experienced it myself. The emperor glanced at Zhou Sining with an unkind look.

"In Longyuan Temple, His Highness the Second Prince only entered the temple when my daughter's grandfather and uncle arrived, and I only bowed with everyone. In addition, I have never met His Highness the Second Prince. Therefore, I

Don’t dare to shamelessly seek royal favor.”

emperor:……

This is not a dare to reach high. This is clearly scolding my son in front of him for being shameless.

The emperor glanced at the second prince coldly, his eyes said, look, all the affection and kindness coming out of your mouth are so shameless in the mouth of this little girl.

"Well, my second prince said that Miss Zhou was in danger in the back mountain. In order to save Miss Zhou and return to the temple, he personally took all the people around him and stayed in the back mountain for most of the day.

But now that I hear it from you, it seems that this is not the case, so tell me who is telling the truth?"

Zhou Sining:......

Sure enough, shamelessness can be inherited. You know what your son has done, but you are still pretending to be ignorant.

Zhou Sining: "Your Majesty, it's obvious that I'm not in danger. It's just that when I took my maid to the back mountain, I accidentally slipped into the forest and lost my way. But later, when I was looking for a way out, I met someone who went into the forest to look for my daughter.

I was a maid of the Zhou family, and then I went back to the temple with my grandfather and second uncle. During this period, I never saw His Highness the Second Prince."

"Miss Zhou, please be careful what you say and don't try to deceive the king." The second prince's lips curled up with a look of color. Even if what you said was the truth, you still couldn't prove that what you said was true.

Zhou Sining glanced at the second prince from the corner of his eyes and sneered secretly in his heart. Then he turned slightly and faced the direction of the second prince and said, "May I ask, Your Highness, the second prince, did you say that you and your daughter were always together in the forest behind the mountain?"

Second Prince: "Yes."

Zhou Sining: "May I ask, Your Highness, the Second Prince, who is the witness?"

The second prince's eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "What your Highness said is the truth, why do you need witnesses?"

Zhou Sining turned around and kowtowed: "Returning to your Majesty, my daughter was taught by the imperial master and the eldest princess, and what she said does not dare to be false, so...there is no need for witnesses."

Second Prince:......

You learned too quickly.

emperor:……

It sounds very reasonable.

Master Zhou: "Your Majesty, if there are witnesses, it is not without evidence."

"Oh? Let me tell you, the old master, who he is." After receiving the steps from the old master, the emperor put a smile on his face. The old master was quite good sometimes.

"He just captured the bodyguard of that black-clothed gangster."

emperor:……
