Zhou Zhi had always been swift and decisive. He had never been controlled by others.
The old ministers who had suffered at his hands understood all of this very well. However, when Zhou Zhi became the emperor, they were also a little moved.
However, after what happened today, they were all awake again. This emperor was different from any other emperors in the past.
Now, let alone making their daughter a concubine, they only hoped that there would never be such a marriage again. Being in-laws with their enemies was really like a toad landing on their body. It was annoying.
And bestowing a marriage was not a matter of just any woman or man in the family. If Zhou Zhi named someone, it had to be them. Ordinary people would not have a name in front of Zhou Zhi.
The marriage of the daughter he valued the most to the son of his enemy was really unbearable. Not only could he not resist, but he also had to thank him.
For many years after this, being bestowed a marriage by Zhou Zhi was what the officials were most afraid of.
No matter which family had a son or daughter, they did not dare to show off. They were afraid that Zhou Zhi would take a fancy to them. They were really afraid.
They wanted to go against Zhou Zhi, and there were also officials who had reached an agreement in private to join forces. They always wanted to grab something to overthrow this emperor, but this emperor was always extremely calm. He always praised their sons, rewarded them, and bestowed marriages!
It was hard to say. Over time, this emperor won all the checks and balances!
Ever since Zhou Zhuo was half a year old, Zhou Zhi would always bring him along in court. Zhou Zhuo had grown up among the ministers and could sleep soundly in their arguments since he was young. When he grew up, he could also watch them argue quietly.
Under Zhou Zhi’s influence, this extraordinary Crown Prince was exactly the same as him when he was ten years old. In court, Zhou Zhuo could already deal with these ministers.
Spring passed and autumn came. The four seasons changed, the court was calm on the outside and stable on the inside.
The humans and demons were stable and peaceful. They even had business dealings.
The people of the Mystic Sect had integrated into every corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty and protected the ordinary commoners. Compared to other countries, the Great Zhou was undoubtedly the place that the commoners yearned for the most. The Wisdom King, who was suspected at the beginning, had created an unprecedented golden age.
No one cared if this emperor had an empress or not. To the commoners, they only cared about whether they could live a stable life in this world and whether they could eat their fill. If an emperor could do it, he would be the best emperor.
It was hot in June. Zhou Zhuo had been ordered to send gifts. It was also time to reunite with his family. He was mischievous, intelligent, and lively. He was very popular in the academy.
Zhou Zhuo first met his parents, sister, and brother before coming to look for Su Xiaolu. The moment he saw Su Xiaolu, he ran over happily. “Aunt, Aunt, my cutest, most beautiful, and best aunt. Zhuo’er missed you so much. Did you miss Zhuo’er? Look what Zhuo’er brought you..
As if presenting a treasure, Zhou Zhuo took out many things from the meson space. There were wooden birds, jumping frogs, and all kinds of small things.
Zhou Zhuo had a very lively personality and had an inexhaustible vitality. After presenting the treasures, he began to take out the ones Zhou Zhi sent over. He took them out of the meson space one by one and piled up the table until it could not fit.
Su Xiaolu was amused by him. In the past ten years, her appearance had not changed much. Her appearance seemed to have stopped changing when she came out of the foreign land at the age of 26. She was not afraid of getting old, but which woman did not want to be praised for being beautiful?
“Thank you, Zhuo. I miss you very much. I’m so happy. Are these all gifts from Zhuo to me?”
Su Xiaolu thanked him as she accepted the gift. She even reached out and pinched Zhou Zhuo’s round cheek. A child with some baby fat was too cute. In a few years, when the young man grew up and the baby fat disappeared, she would never see such a cute boy again.
Zhou Zhuo chattered while Su Xiaolu listened with a smile.
At night, they ate together. Zhou Zhuo was the sweetest. “Mother’s dishes are the best. They’re the most fragrant. They’re the best dishes Zhuo’er has ever eaten. ”
“If Zhuo’er likes it, Mother will make it for you every day.”
Su Xiaoling’s gaze was gentle. Zhou Zhuo had grown up very well, which made her feel better. However, after a long separation, they would always miss each other more. They cherished this short reunion.
Zhou Wei and Zhou Xuan started to roam the martial world last year. Zhou Wei was cold and calm, and Zhou Xuan was lively.
Zhou Huan and Zhou Qing, on the other hand, were calm and did not like to tease their brother. Zhou Xuan loved to tease Zhou Zhuo the most. She sat beside him and rubbed his hair, pinched his cheeks, patted his shoulders, and touched his back.
Ten years ago, Zhou Zhuo entered the palace and was raised by Zhou Zhi as the Crown Prince in less than two months. Su Xiaolu still remembered that when she returned, Zhou Wei, Zhou Xuan, Zhou Huan, and Zhou Qing all came to look for him.
Su Xiaolu did not understand why Zhou Zhi wanted to raise Zhou Zhuo. At that time, her sister did not even see her and said that it was already decided. There was no need to say anything else.
Zhou Zhuo had been very cute all these years, and nothing worrying had happened, so everyone was used to it.
Life was just so ordinary. The disciples of the academy came and went, and many teachers were also new. Her four disciples had already left the capital. Even Little Niu and Su Kuo did not stay in the academy to teach. They had been away from the capital for the past two years, and Su Xiaolu did not go. She was used to such a quiet life.
Su Xiaolu’s heart warmed as she watched Zhou Zhuo eat with a smile. She pinched Zhou Zhuo’s wrist and knew that this child was extremely healthy. He looked a little chubby and extraordinarily cute. It was impossible not to like him.
Zhou Zhuo ate two big bowls. He pinched his stomach and sighed. “Ah—Aunt, quickly give me acupuncture. I don’t want to gain weight!”
Su Xiaoling chuckled and shook her head helplessly. Her eyes were filled with doting. “You—”
Zhou Zhuo liked her cooking, and Su Xiaoling was very happy. No matter how she looked at this child, she liked him.
“Sure, if you’re not afraid of pain.”
Su Xiaolu agreed happily. This kid was not afraid of anything except pain.
He was terrified of even the slightest pain.
However, he was not delicate. Su Xiaolu had seen it many times. In front of outsiders, the little guy bled but did not cry. However, in front of his family, as long as he fell or hit something, he would definitely cry. His tears fell like beans, making her heart ache.
Upon hearing the word pain, Zhou Zhuo’s eyes were already filled with tears. He waved his hand. “Then forget it… There are two things in this world that I can’t let down. One is to eat for pleasure. Eating more makes me happy. I can’t let down delicious food! Every piece of fat on my body isn’t a burden. It’s mother’s love for me…
“You’re so sweet, but you’re not completely right. There’s something in the world that you can’t let down. That’s to praise your most beautiful second sister. If Second Sister is happy, you’re also happy. Quick, praise me. Otherwise, hmph hmph!
Zhou Xuan put her arms around Zhou Zhuo’s shoulders and threatened him.
Zhou Zhuo shrunk his neck and praised tactfully, “My most beautiful, most powerful second sister in the world. She’s the most, most beautiful woman in the world. If there’s anyone who can compare to her, it’s naturally our big sister who looks exactly like her..”
