Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 170 Zhuang Mohan performs the disciple ceremony!
The study room.

With Zhuang Mohan and Zhan Doudou remaining silent, the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, but neither of them cared about it!
Zhuang Mohan has been immersed in his own world, constantly repeating that sentence in his mind. The more he thinks about it, the more he understands, and the more he admires Chen Luo!
Zhan Doudou was anxious and looked outside the Shangshu room from time to time. Every time she looked, she became more anxious and worried!
She was not worried that Chen Luo was in danger or anything. This was the Northern Qi Imperial Palace, and the person Chen Luo was going to see was Qinglong, his trusted confidant who was above the ninth rank. How could he be in danger?
What really worried her was whether Chen Luo could get something out of Chang'an Hou Ning Kang. This not only concerned the hidden enemies who wanted to target Northern Qi, but also the Queen Mother's attitude towards this matter!

If they can't find something that will make the Queen Mother completely disappointed in Chang'an Hou Ningkang, then they will take action against Chang'an Hou Ningkang, even beheading him and confiscating his property. The Queen Mother will definitely be very angry!

By then, their relationship with the Queen Mother would really fall apart, and the Queen Mother might even sever the mother-daughter relationship with her!
This is what she is most worried about and also the most difficult part!
After all, everyone is selfish. The Queen Mother has done enough for her, and she doesn't want to fall out with her, even though the crime committed by Chang'an Marquis Ningkang is infuriating enough!
But she was still afraid that it would not be enough and would make the Queen Mother completely disappointed in Marquis Chang'an!

“Luo Er!!”

Seeing that familiar figure, Zhan Doudou immediately stood up in surprise, without even caring that Zhuang Mohan was still here, and flew directly into Chen Luo's arms!
Zhuang Mohan, who was awakened by her shout, stood up immediately upon seeing this. He first looked at Zhan Doudou who was holding Chen Luo with a somewhat strange yet relieved look!

Then he looked at Chen Luo with extremely fanatical eyes, and the admiration and desire for knowledge in his eyes were almost overflowing!
Although he really wanted to run over to find Chen Luo to answer his doubts, he still had some rationality and could clearly see what was going on!
If he goes up at this time, wouldn't it make Zhan Doudou and Chen Luo very embarrassed?

Originally, he came to seek advice, and it was he who disturbed the time when Zhan Doudou and Chen Luo were together. How could he go up to them again and embarrass them?
So he could only suppress his desire for knowledge and just looked at Chen Luo with expectant and fanatical eyes!

Chen Luo smiled at Zhuang Mohan apologetically, then hugged Zhan Doudou helplessly, and then pushed her away under her pitiful gaze.

"Your Majesty has been dealing with too many government affairs on weekdays, and your mind is exhausted. In addition, I was not in Northern Qi some time ago, so Your Majesty... I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Zhuang!"

After hearing Chen Luo's words, Zhan Doudou realized belatedly that Zhuang Mohan was still in the Shangshu room!
Thinking that Zhuang Mohan had seen everything she had just done, her face turned pale, for she was afraid that Zhuang Mohan would associate this with her being a girl!

Zhan Doudou looked at Zhuang Mohan carefully, and only felt relieved when she saw that there was only excitement on his face and his eyes were fixed on Chen Luo without paying any attention to her.

What follows is a deep sense of shame!
Zhuang Mohan is her unofficial but real tutor. It is no exaggeration to say that he has watched her grow up!

When she thought about how Zhuang Mohan had seen her little daughter just now, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into! !
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am not a pedantic person. It is common sense that a short separation is better than a new marriage!"

"Just now when the Queen left, His Majesty said two things to me, one of which was 'The Emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when he breaks the law'!"

"This has touched me deeply, but there are still some things I don't understand. As for those eternal quatrains that the Queen said before, I still have some questions in my mind. I wonder if the Queen can answer them?"

"Also... my brother has returned to Northern Qi? Is it possible for me to meet him?"

Zhuang Mohan said all the words in one breath, as if he was afraid that something unexpected would interrupt his request for advice!
When he said the last sentence, his tone was no longer as excited as before, but was replaced by a low tone filled with anticipation and nervousness!

Sean is his only remaining blood relative, a brother from the same family!
After being forced to be apart for so many years, there was finally hope of reunion. How could he not be looking forward to it?
How could he not be nervous? ? "It's not like I can solve your doubts, but if there's anything you want to know, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know!"

"Mr. Zhuang, don't worry about Sean. According to the time, he should be able to return to Shangjing with Shangshan Hu in about two days!"

Chen Luo smiled as he spoke, and as Zhan Doudou, who was trying her best to suppress her shame, walked to the table and sat down, skillfully replacing the cold tea with fresh one.

Zhuang Mohan was delighted when he heard this, but he did not sit down and ask directly. Instead, he bowed solemnly to Chen Luo, holding the standard disciple's salute in his hand.

He was still a little embarrassed before and was a little too ashamed to perform the disciple etiquette, although it was harmless for him to do so, and Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou might not care!
But he felt that something was wrong. After all, if you want to seek advice, you must have the right attitude. Otherwise, why should others answer your questions?
However, that bit of hesitation that he couldn't save face was completely dispelled when he heard the words 'The emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when he breaks the law'!

I even secretly felt ridiculous for my own face!
Chen Luo has such a broad mind and sees everything so thoroughly. Every word he says is the truth and can benefit people endlessly!
How could such a knowledgeable person disrespect Chen Luo just for the age difference and for that insignificant face?
There is no limit to learning, and the wise are the teachers!!

Even if Chen Luo doesn't care about these things, whether Chen Luo cares or not and whether he salutes him or not are two completely different things!

"Mr. Zhuang, what are you doing? Please take a seat. If you have any questions, just ask directly. There is no need to be so polite!"

"Your actions have made both me and His Majesty quite uncomfortable!"

Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou stood up and helped Zhuang Mohan sit down helplessly.

They didn't know how to comment on Zhuang Mohan's stubbornness. They could only say that there was no right or wrong. It was just that the results would be different depending on where you stood!
If they don't know Zhuang Mohan, and Zhuang Mohan comes to ask for advice, then it's fine to perform the disciple etiquette to show respect!

But they knew Zhuang Mohan, who had made a lot of contributions to Northern Qi and was even Zhan Doudou's tutor. How could they bear it if Zhuang Mohan saluted them?

The most important thing is that he didn't say those words himself, he just relayed them. It was unreasonable and unethical for him to accept Zhuang Mohan's courtesy as a disciple!

"Your Majesty, Queen, there is no need to support me. I am still in good health!"

"Empress, your previous sentence 'All under heaven is the king's land, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects', this one..."

Zhuang Mohan took the paper and the brush, asking questions and taking notes, showing enlightenment and happiness from time to time.
