Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

As soon as Zhao Zhuoxi saw her come in, he hugged her in his arms.

"What have you been doing? You kept me waiting."

Jiang Jiu pushed him and said, "It's been a long time since the Third Prince's wife left. I think you two should talk for a longer time."

Zhao Zhuoxi laughed contemptuously: "She just wanted to ask about your grandmother's situation. She's gone, why would she dwell on the past?"

"Alas, I originally heard that her and Empress Zhou had some dirty deeds, but I didn't expect that she was actually such a righteous person... I won't pursue the past."

Jiang Jiu pinched a grape and just put it in her mouth, but Zhao Zhuoxi pinched her chin, sucked the grape in her mouth into his own mouth with force, and licked her lips.

Jiang Jiu was so angry that he punched him: "If you want to eat it, I'll peel it for you. You're shameless to grab what's in my mouth."

Zhao Zhuoxi gave her another grape with a sly grin.

Jiang Jiu: "I have a breakthrough here... We have to go to pay our respects to Madam Chang after her death..."

Then Jiang Jiu told her about Shao Yingying's family.

Zhao Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, that's right, how could I have forgotten about that scoundrel? Now he has become a nuisance to the capital, and no one cares about him. Sigh, the morals of the world are really going downhill, the morals of the world are going downhill."

After saying that, Zhao Zhuoxi pulled Jiang Jiu out of the teahouse. On the way back, Jiang Jiu told him his plan.

Zhao Zhuoxi scratched her nose.

"Good idea. Now let's see what Sixth Brother will do."

Zhao Zhuoran was in a difficult situation at this time. He had just come out of the palace and was caught by Queen Zhou and cried for a long time. She had only one purpose in mind.

It means that he should bring Jiang Mingyue, who killed Madam Chang, to justice and kill him.

But Zhao Zhuoran didn't want to at all.

"Your Majesty, not many people knew about this back then, and I'm sure you were one of them. I'd like to ask, who was responsible for Qiu'er's death?"

Empress Zhou was suddenly startled: "This palace, this palace doesn't know either."

Zhao Zhuoran snorted coldly, "Then let's investigate thoroughly first. Even if Madam Chang is the Empress's sister, the country has its laws and the family has its rules. I will definitely restore the truth of that year before making the final judgment."

After Zhao Zhuoran left the palace, Queen Zhou felt that something was fishy.

After finding the servant who had followed Chang Mingyuan south, Queen Zhou found out that the concubine rumored to be Chang Mingyuan might not actually be Chang Mingyuan's woman.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Madam Chang is just your cousin..."

Empress Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I only remember that girl from back then. She seemed to be related to the deceased Crown Prince. The Sixth and Third Brothers are best friends. Well, let him investigate."

After fifteen years, whatever can be found out is what it is. Anyway, what happened back then has nothing to do with her.

On the day of Madam Chang's funeral, Queen Zhou asked the eunuchs around her to offer condolences on her behalf.

The Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran, who had a good relationship with Chang Mingyuan, did not come and only asked his butler to bring a condolence gift.

Zhao Zhuoxi came running with Jiang Jiu.

A few days ago, most of the civil and military officials in the court came, and it is still the same now, but the only difference is that a few days ago it was a happy event, but today it is a funeral.

When Zhao Zhuoxi arrived, he was still arranged to stay in the warm room.

A banquet is very different from a condolence ceremony. At a banquet, friends are entertained, while at a condolence ceremony, family members are entertained.

Ministers in the court usually paid their condolences, delivered the gifts and left.

At the funeral, collateral family members were required to have lunch at the house and could not leave until after the burial.

Zhao Zhuoxi could have left after giving the gift, but he just came to watch the fun, so he went straight to the warm room.

Sitting in the warm room were the right prime minister, the three sons of the Zhou family, and Mrs. Chang's family members, including Zhou Shi'an.

After meeting Zhou Min and then seeing the other members of the Zhou family, I can't help but sigh that the genes of Right Prime Minister Zhou Zhili are really strong.

He was born with squinty eyes and single eyelids, and his three sons also have squinty eyes and single eyelids, just like him.

Zhou Min's eyes are long and narrow, perhaps more like her mother's. Queen Zhou's eyes are also long and narrow. Jiang Jiu has never seen them, but Zhao Zhuoxi has seen them and only gave them the description of "ugly".

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, all of them are prettier than Queen Zhou.

Zhou Shian was even uglier, with squinty eyes and a bulbous nose. I don’t know if it was because he loved drinking or because he didn’t get enough sleep, but his nose was red and his eye circles were dark.

Looking at his age of more than 20 years old, his body seems to be in great decline and he has lost all youthfulness.

"Zhou Shian is so ugly, how could any woman be attracted to a man like him..."

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but complain.

Zhao Zhuoxi wanted to laugh after hearing this, then coughed to cover it up and leaned back on the couch.

Maybe Jiang Jiu liked to stare at people, and Zhou Shian noticed it.

Jiang Jiu suddenly saw Zhou Shian winking at her and raising his eyebrows slightly, which almost made her vomit.

He quickly looked away, looked at his nose and his heart, and stood behind Zhao Zhuoxi properly.

After waiting for a while, it was lunch time.

In ancient times, people actually ate separately. There was a coffee table in front of each person. Everyone knelt in front of the coffee table, holding up their bowls and chopsticks. Maids behind them served them and placed the dishes on the plates in front of the table.

When eating, just pick up the dishes on the plate.

Even though they were using bamboo chopsticks, the maids serving behind them were using silver chopsticks.

The maids can only come to the side courtyard and the guest room next to the kitchen to eat in turns after the masters have finished their meal. Generally, wealthy families will not go out with only one maid.

There are at least two and at most seven or eight.

Or guards, servants, etc.

When we got to the guest rooms, there were servants everywhere, so there were not so many rules and restrictions. The food was simple, just a bowl of big pot food, rice, and some porridge, which was pretty good.

Just as Jiang Jiu was about to go back after finishing her meal, suddenly, a fat figure blocked her way.

"Hey, little lady, where are you going?"

Jiang Jiu looked closely and saw that the short, fat man with a bulbous nose was none other than Zhou Shian.

"Mr. Zhou, be well. Go back and serve my prince."

Jiang Jiu thought that after all, she was the maidservant of the Ninth Prince, so she had to be more or less cautious with this guy.

Who knew that Zhou Shian didn't care about Zhao Zhuoxi at all.

"Oh? Your prince is weak, and I see you keep looking at me. Are you attracted to me?"

Jiang Jiu really wanted to roll his eyes, which really made her laugh.

"No, it's mainly because I've never seen anyone as ugly as you, so I took a second look..."

"Pfft" The two maids behind Zhou Shian couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Shian was so angry that he flew into a rage: "You stupid girl, who are you calling ugly?"

Jiang Jiu said bluntly: "Compared to our prince, you are so, so ugly. You are so ugly that I want to vomit. Oh, I didn't even have a full lunch..."

After saying that, Jiang Jiu pushed Zhou Shian away and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there." Zhou Shi'an was still unhappy. He never thought he was ugly, and no one had ever told him he was ugly.

He was furious when Jiang Jiu said this.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you scold me? I will teach you a lesson."

Jiang Jiu dodged nimbly to one side, and Zhou Shian's fat body missed.

Jiang Jiu was a little surprised: "Mr. Zhou, I just told the truth, why are you scolding you? It's not your fault that you are ugly. It's your father's fault that he is not good-looking either."

"How dare you! Whose maid is so rude?"

As soon as Jiang Jiu finished speaking, Zhou Youxiang, who had come out to digest his food, shouted angrily.

Zhao Zhuoxi, who was walking in front, smiled dotingly.

"This is my royal family."
