N-A-A Chapter 1720 So Rich
Chapter 1720 So Rich
How could Lu Zhaoling possibly want to enter the palace and pay homage to anyone?
"Can I not go?"
She just felt that this was part of the wedding process, like the three-day homecoming ceremony, where he would take Zhou Shiyue back to Huaiyuan on the third day.
Besides, she is now considered a member of the royal family. To have never even entered the palace once, nor to have formally met the Emperor and Empress Dowager, is ultimately quite improper.
Although she did enter the palace on the day the Emperor Emeritus died, she did so secretly, and it seems that she was carried out by Zhou Shiyue when she left.
"If it were someone else, then there would certainly be such a rule, but if it were you, then this rule doesn't apply."
Zhou Shiyue said, "So if you don't want to go, you don't have to go."
Lu Zhaoling thought for a moment, "If I don't go, won't anyone in the court gossip?"
“We can go to the ancestral temple. If you want to be included in the imperial genealogy, you can do it at the ancestral temple,” Zhou Shiyue thought for a moment and immediately made up his mind, “Just call my imperial brother and the others to the ancestral temple.”
It's a good idea to get the imperial genealogy certificate and meet up with the family so that everything can be done together.
Moreover, he needed to find a way to prevent Lu Zhaoling from facing the Emperor directly.
Zhou Shiyue was still worried that Lu Zhaoling would be unable to resist looking at the Emperor's face when she saw him, which would harm her own fate.
She was already facing a life-or-death crisis, so please don't let it be because of seeing the Emperor's face.
Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated.
"Originally, it was supposed to be me entering the palace to pay my respects to them, but now they're all being summoned to the ancestral temple to see me?"
The Emperor is her elder brother, and the Empress Dowager is her elder. If she puts on such an air, won't people gossip about her behind her back?
Lu Zhaoling felt that Zhou Shiyue's idea was somewhat arrogant.
However, Zhou Shiyue felt that any rules could be disregarded in the face of her safety.
"Just say it another way. Say that your father appeared to you in a dream and asked you to go to the ancestral temple to pay respects to your ancestors. The new bride of the Zhou family has entered the family. The whole family should go to the ancestral temple so that the ancestors can take a look."
Even before the Zhou family became emperors, they still had many ancestors. The last one was posthumously honored when the country was founded.
They also offer incense at the ancestral temple.
“They can just pin everything on the Emperor Emeritus.” Lu Zhaoling almost laughed.
"of course."
At this point, Zhou Shiyue realized that he hadn't seen his ghost father yet today.
"Did the Emperor Emeritus visit you in a dream last night?" Qingyin asked from the side.
Zhou Shiyue suddenly remembered that his ghost father had said last night that he wanted to try some kind of group dream visitation, but he didn't know if it had worked.
"I heard there was another banquet in the west courtyard last night?" Lu Zhaoling suddenly remembered. "Also, when Granny Sheng came over this morning, I could faintly smell alcohol. She's a ghost, could she have drunk too much last night?"
Grandma Sheng came over this morning, caused some trouble, and then slipped away. Nobody knows where she went.
“Last night, the West Courtyard invited Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Qi A,” Zhou Shiyue said.
Lu Zhaoling opened his eyes wide.
"You invited them all up? Qi'a is here too?"
She had heard from her eldest brother that those guys from the Netherworld wanted to come up for the wedding banquet, but she had told him that if Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai really wanted to come, they should go to Huaiyuan and drink with her second sister and the others.
After all, the people in Huaiyuan were used to seeing ghosts, and there was also the domesticated ghost Zheng Ying.
The eldest junior brother told her not to worry about it, that he would take care of it. But nothing came of it, and Lu Zhaoling thought that the eldest junior brother had used his judge-like demeanor to reject them.
After all, the underworld is still in chaos, and it's uncertain whether something bad will happen if the ghost messengers come up here to drink wedding wine.
Unexpectedly, we were arranged to come to the Prince of Jin's residence?
Last night, they all had a banquet in the west courtyard.
"If they want to come, then let them come. It's not like we can't afford to provide food and drinks," Zhou Shiyue said casually.
When Lu Zhaoling heard him say that, she knew that her master and the others must have stepped in to help.
Otherwise, how could she not have noticed?
“I’ll take you around the Prince’s Mansion so you can get to know it properly. This will be your home from now on,” Zhou Shiyue said. “When Father returns, I’ll have him appear in your dream to tell you about the ancestral temple.”
When Zhou Shiyue said he would take Lu Zhaoling to tour the Prince's Mansion, he actually meant he would take Lu Zhaoling to see his storeroom.
There are three storerooms in the Prince's Mansion. There is a large storeroom, and both Uncle Yun and Granny Qing have keys to it. It contains a variety of items, and they often come here to find what they need.
There is another storeroom that Yunbo and Zhou Shiyue have keys to, where gold, silver and jewelry and some other valuable items are kept.
Finally, there was a small storeroom, which was all Zhou Shiyue knew about.
When he brought Lu Zhaoling in, the sight of several boxes of gold ingots and several large boxes of South Sea pearls immediately made Lu Zhaoling's eyes widen.
Besides these, there were also large boxes containing smaller boxes, and several boxes full of small boxes.
Lu Zhaoling casually picked up a box and opened it, revealing a small knife inlaid with gemstones inside.
Zhou Shiyue glanced at it and said, "This kind is just for show; it's not very sharp and can't compare to the one I gave you before."
"Is that for me? You clearly said it was a loan before," Lu Zhaoling said.
"Ahem. Really? I can be that stingy? Impossible, I've always been very generous to you."
Ah.
Lu Zhaoling ignored him and picked up another, larger, flat box. She opened it, and inside was a piece of smooth, white jade.
“These things are all things I collected from various places I traveled to before.
Lu Zhaoling also saw the jade flute, the moonlight glass lamp, and some extremely rare Gobi stones.
Anyway, these things are all quite valuable.
“Oh, right,” Zhou Shiyue went and pulled out a larger box, opening it for Lu Zhaoling to see. “This is a soft armor made of gold silk, impervious to swords and spears. Of course, that refers to those that are not extremely sharp.”
"I haven't tried it myself. Perhaps even a master with my profound internal strength couldn't withstand it with a sharp weapon. But it can still protect against other things; it's an extra layer of protection. Do you want to wear it?"
Lu Zhaoling looked at the glittering golden soft armor, picked it up, and found it quite heavy!
How much would one of these be worth?
She was asked to wear it. She politely declined.
"It's too much trouble not to wear it, let's put it away."
Looking at Zhou Shiyue now, Lu Zhaoling felt that he was even more dazzling!
It's not just the golden light of merit! It's the golden light itself!
"Zhou Shiyue, I never imagined you were so rich!" Lu Zhaoling clutched her heart, looking at him with eyes full of love.
Admiration!
Zhou Shiyue then remembered her money-loving nature.
"I thought you knew all along that I was very wealthy, which is why you wanted to marry me so much," he said deliberately.
"Nonsense. Your reputation used to be terrible. I thought you were a spendthrift who had squandered almost all the family fortune."
