2407 Can’t be trifled with
“No, Royal grandmother, you haven’t even met Zheng Qiu, have you? Why do you like that child? Did Enzi take a fancy to it?” The Emperor asked in bewilderment.
“That silly boy, he can’t even tell if she’s a girl or a boy.” The Empress Dowager could not help but laugh.
“Imperial grandmother, quickly tell your grandson, what is going on? Your grandson is very curious!” In front of the Grand Empress Dowager, when talking about family matters, the Emperor would always be like a child.
“You’re already in your forties, why are you still acting like a child?” The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor helplessly.
However, she still told the Emperor about what Gu en had said about Zheng Qiu.
Gu Xin and Gu si did not say anything to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was the one who could tell. Gu en was really bad at hiding her emotions.
Perhaps it was because he did not know that Zheng Qiu was a girl, so he acted as if he was telling his family that he had made a good friend.
The young man’s thoughts could be seen through with a glance.
“Hahahahaha, en ‘Zi is just like his father! Imperial grandmother, grandson is afraid that when en Zi enters the first rank, even if he has the ability, grandson will not want him to be the top scorer.” The Emperor was overjoyed.
The Grand Empress Dowager glared at the Emperor.
“I’m just joking, your grandson is just joking. This grandson will not play around with the imperial examination, so Imperial grandmother can rest assured.” The Emperor immediately became serious.
“We can’t play around. although Enzi is the eldest grandson of your Royal uncle’s family, you can’t control the examiners. You can do whatever you want. If he gets into the first rank, you can’t give him the top rank just because he’s the grandson of your Royal uncle. Everything must be done according to the rules and be convincing.” The Empress Dowager said seriously.
.....“Yes, Imperial grandmother! Your grandson will remember your teachings.” The Emperor sat up straight and replied respectfully.
“Zhao ‘er,” The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the emperor’s current state and could not help but think of his childhood, when he had even called out his nickname.
“Grandmother.” The Emperor was stunned for a moment as he looked at the Grand Empress Dowager.
“Time really flies, our family’s Zhao ‘er has already grown so big. But grandmother is still as meddlesome as before. Is Zhao ‘er annoyed with grandmother?” Grand Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand, signaling for the Emperor to step forward.
The Emperor walked over and sat beside Grand Emperor and Empress Dowager. Actually, he really wanted to sit on a small stool like when he was young, his head leaning on Grand Emperor and Empress Dowager’s legs.
However, he was already forty years old, and the Grand Empress Dowager was also getting on in years.
He could only hold the Empress Dowager’s hand and said with utmost seriousness, ” “Grandmother, it’s a good thing that you’ve been by Zhao ‘er’s side all these years, otherwise the great Zhou’s rivers and mountains wouldn’t be so prosperous. Zhao ‘er would never despise grandmother. Zhao’ er hoped that grandmother would always be there, so that when Zhao ‘er was hot-headed, she could point out a clear path for Zhao’ er. The great Zhou’s territory was not Zhao ‘er’s, but the ye family’s. They had been relying on grandmother to protect it for the past few dynasties. Grandmother is the hero of the ye family and also the hero of the great Zhou.”
The Grand Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head,”you stinky brat, you’re always sweet when you’re little.” When you were young, there were many times when I couldn’t bear to see you study hard alone. However, he had no other choice. Zhao ‘er, you did it in the end. You are the Son of Heaven’s mandate, you should be the Emperor of the great Zhou, the one chosen by the heavens, not the one chosen by grandmother.”
