C60 (2/2)

”Your majesty?” Didn't I just see him a moment ago? ”Why is the Emperor looking for me?”

He Shibi turned to welcome her from the side and entered into the corridor, ”You'll know once the general goes.”

Zhou Leping didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad premonition. It was unavoidable that he was nervous on the road, but after seeing Zhao Shiqian, his heart immediately relaxed.

His speed was quite fast. As soon as he came out of the main hall, he changed into casual clothes and stood there with his hands behind his back. His posture was upright and he looked absent-minded, as if he was the same young man from a few years ago.

”This subject greets Your Majesty.”

He Shibi tactfully retreated, then turned over and said, ”No need for formalities.”

”Your majesty has summoned an official. Is there anything you need from me?”

Zhao Shiqian sat down, a tea set was placed on the table in the octagonal pavilion, he rolled up his sleeves and brewed some tea, then looked at the seat opposite him and indicated to her, ”There are only two people here, why are you being so reserved? Sit! ”

”Your Majesty, we'll see each other again. Your subject should just stand there. If Your Majesty has anything to say, please feel free to tell me. Your subject will definitely go through fire and water …”

Zhao Shiqian was elated, ”Le An married to us and became our woman. You are Le An's elder sister, and according to the etiquette of the people, we should call you … ”Elder sister.”

Zhou Leping retreated in fear, ”This subject does not dare!”

If that was the case, more than half of the people in the court were the old brothers of the emperor. The emperor couldn't possibly call for his father before he went to court, right?

The only one who could afford to shoulder the burden of the emperor's father was the emperor's legitimate wife, the empress's father!

”Zi Xi, why are you so far away from us?” He make a cup of tea himself

He gave it to her, ”This Emperor gave you a seat. This is an order!”

When she heard this name, her legs went weak and she honestly said, ”Yes!” She went over and sat down.

”You came to the palace yesterday?”

”Yes, this subject is here to take a look at the fun …” Look at Worthy Lady Zhou. ” She took a sip from her glass.

The cup that was only the size of her palm was gone after she took a sip. She could neither taste nor quench her thirst, but this was the tea ceremony. She didn't dare to refill it after drinking it and just held it in her hand.

”Are you afraid that Zhen will treat her badly and not be good to her?”

”This subject doesn't dare, it's just that Le An has the temperament of a child. This subject fears that she might have a temper with the Emperor.”

”She's fine.” Zhao Shiqian looked into her eyes and said, ”We know when to stop and when to advance. We like her very much.”

Zhou Leping's beating heart suddenly stopped, and she heaved a sigh of relief. ”As long as Your Majesty likes it.”

”What did you say to Le An yesterday?”

Her heart, which had just recovered from its beating, froze again. The nervous cup was about to be crushed by her hands, ”This subject …” It's just a chat about family matters, nothing else. ”

Zhao Shiqian wanted to take the cup out from her hand, but the moment he touched her hand, as if he had been stabbed, Zhou Leping suddenly let go and the cup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

”This official deserves to die!” She stood up at once, and when she did, she regretted her reaction.

Zhao Shiqian lowered his eyes and sat upright, ”It's just a cup.” He poured another cup of tea and passed it to her, ”Zi Xi, do you think I'm sick?”
