Ming Teng then remembered, "Brother, I have made a new friend and have been waiting for you to introduce him to me."
Mingyun hit his brother's head with a book, and then his face became wooden. His brother was obviously smaller than him, but he was almost as tall as him. He glanced at his brother's body and found that he was really strong.
Mingyun took back the book and said, "No, I want to accompany grandma to study. My uncle said that grandma didn't understand a few parts of the article, and I didn't learn them, so he asked me to help."
Ming Teng blinked his eyes. "So, uncle had to trick big brother into accompanying grandma so that he could go out with me?"
Mingyun paused, "Is uncle going with us today?"
Ming Teng nodded, "Yes, I asked my uncle yesterday, and he agreed."
Mingyun thought about what his uncle had said to him yesterday and laughed. What about grandma encountering something she didn't understand and his uncle lying to him.
Ming Teng was in no hurry to leave as he followed his eldest brother to the main courtyard. He said as he walked, "This is the first time I've seen you being so easy to fool. If grandma doesn't understand something, she will definitely ask grandpa. How could you not understand something?"
Mingyun was shocked. Mingteng silently took two steps back and followed carefully, rubbing his arms as he walked. The eldest brother's stern face was really scary.
Zhulan knew the purpose of her two grandchildren's visit and laughed, "You guys go and have fun. I have an appointment today."
Mingyun, "Grandma, let me stay with you."
Zhulan looked strange, "Do you really want to go with me?"
Mingyun felt that as the eldest grandson, he must accompany his grandmother, "Yes."
Zhulan thought about the fact that her eldest grandson was already engaged, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. She smiled and said, "Okay, but don't regret it."
Mingyun will not regret it. He just feels that he has done his best to be filial. He likes his grandfather the most in the family, followed by his grandmother.
Ming Teng saw that he couldn't kidnap his elder brother, so he could only say, "Grandma, I'm leaving first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhulan waited for Mingteng to step out of the door and added, "You need to behave yourself. Your grandfather hasn't been in a good mood these past two days."
Ming Teng froze in his tracks as he was afraid that his grandfather and great-grandfather would add more masters for him!
Zhulan also brought her grandson to the appointment. This time, it was the Empress Dowager who invited her to go to the Prince of Qi's mansion to watch a play together.
This appointment was temporary and was only delivered early this morning. However, this also shows that no matter how approachable the Empress Dowager becomes, she is still the Empress Dowager. This was a temporary idea and she did not consider whether Zhulan had other appointments today.
Ming Teng took his uncle to the appointment. Chang Zhong got off the carriage and looked at the plaque of the theater. "Are you coming to watch a play today?"
Ming Teng nodded, "Well, my friend is very interested in opera and invited me to watch a play today."
Changzhong didn't think much about it. There were many people in the capital who liked to watch plays, and the theater was also a favorite place for the rich and powerful. He just asked curiously, "Now can you tell me who your new friend is?"
Ming Teng smiled and said, "Uncle will know in a moment."
"Still keeping it a secret. I want to see what kind of friends you make."
As he spoke, Changzhong looked at his nephew Mingteng as if he were looking at a mountain of gold. Mingteng's nephew's nobleness was all bought by his uncle with money. The reason why he followed him was to meet Mingteng's nephew's friends, but mainly to cheat him of money.
Entering the theater box, Changzhong saw a foreigner. Looking at his clothes and the servants behind him, Changzhong knew who he was: Prince Joey who had stayed in the capital.
Joey could already speak decent Chinese. "My friend, you actually brought your brother with you. I appreciate your trust."
Changzhong's face suddenly turned dark. He was not his younger brother.
Ming Teng felt that his uncle's eyes were a bit piercing, so he quickly explained, "This is my uncle."
Joey knew who it was and felt a little embarrassed. He knew the people in Lord Zhou's family, but he had never seen the real person. Then he became happy, "I've heard of your uncle. He is said to be a genius and has a master who is the top scholar."
Chang Zhong smiled, "The prince knows our family very well."
Even he has a master who knows about it, which is quite enough.
Joey was very enthusiastic. "I admire Mr. Zhou. In my heart, Mr. Zhou will lead me out of the darkness and bring me to the light."
Chang Zhong's face was speechless. This foreigner was really weird. It was dark one moment and bright the next.
At the Prince of Qi's Mansion, the Prince of Qi is also here today. His mother, Chen, is surprised that Zhulan is here. She only invited the Empress Dowager to take a look and give some advice today. This is her own attempt and she does not intend to show it to outsiders.
Now that Yang was here, Chen was also kind to her, because the Empress Dowager did not treat Yang as an outsider.
The King of Qi focused his attention on Zhou Mingyun. He asked him a few questions while walking. Mingyun answered fluently and had his own ideas. The King of Qi put his hands behind his back and said, "You are worthy of being the eldest grandson raised by Lord Zhou himself."
Mingyun would not feel that he was overshadowing his own abilities by mentioning his grandfather too much. He generously admitted, "The boy has lived up to grandpa's teachings."
He was brought up by his grandfather, and his current status is indeed due to his grandfather's training.
King Qi smiled and said, "You are good."
But then the King of Qi looked strange and asked, "Did your grandmother bring you here?"
Mingyun pondered and replied, "I have a day off today, so I came here because I wanted to spend more time with grandma."
The King of Qi smiled. It seemed that Lord Zhou's wife was planning to trick her grandson. This bad taste was really like Lord Zhou.
When Mingyun arrived at the set up tent, he still didn't notice anything wrong. He thought he came to the Prince Qi's mansion to watch a show. He was impressed by his grandmother's power and said that she had already broken into the circle of the concubines.
Just waiting for the music to start, as the plot unfolds, Mingyun's face becomes more and more indifferent, and he finally understands the weirdness in his grandmother and King Qi's eyes.
The most important thing is that his grandmother didn’t tell him that he saw the shadow of his grandfather in his grandmother. What a trick on her grandson!
Halfway through the film, Zhulan complained that the story had abrupt turns, the only highlight was the sad song, the plot was incoherent and depended entirely on the song, so after watching the rest, she had eaten all the fruit on the table.
The Queen Mother thought that Chen's own creations would be outstanding, but now she is a little disappointed. She can find a lot of problems with them.
The Princess of Qi was already using a fan to cover her face to hide her smile. Her mother-in-law was also a talented woman, but not everyone could make up a story, especially a tragedy. The current result was thanks to the help of the prince.
When the Princess of Qi thought of this, she looked at the King of Qi dimly. It was tragic that she had no experience, but the prince had a lot of experience in taking beauties.
The Prince of Qi felt uncomfortable when being watched. He also had a tragedy, and now he was under a huge shadow. Ever since he was stopped by his father, he had not taken in any concubines. It was just that he told his tragedy to his mother, and if it was really acted out, it would be a comedy.
In the imperial palace, Zhou Shuren had been staying there since the court session ended, waiting for the emperor to implement government affairs. The study had drawn up a set of rules, and Zhou Shuren and the other adults could finally leave.
It is said that since becoming the Shangshu and entering the center of power, Zhou Shuren no longer has to personally oversee the Ministry of Revenue, but he has more responsibilities in court affairs.
Zhou Shuren felt that today's efficiency was pretty good. Looking at Rongchuan, he felt that this prince was becoming more and more prestigious. Moreover, Rongchuan's plan for the promotion of the court's policies for next year was very good.
Zhou Shuren was about to follow him out when Eunuch Zhang said, "Master Zhou, please stay."
