Chapter 1950 says he is heartless
Qin Yuerong is sober.
In fact, whether it is an emperor or a commoner, people's hearts are inherently complex and their emotions are fickle.
As long as you do your best, don't get lost in relationships, and have your own stance and abilities, you'll have a way out if anything unexpected happens.
Moreover, life is only a few decades long, and love is definitely not the only precious thing in life.
There are still many precious things.
If she gets it, she will definitely cherish it and take good care of it.
But even if she loses it, she will pick herself up and start anew.
Qin Yuerong also wrote a letter and sent it to Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling hadn't expected her to write to her.
Moreover, this letter can be considered a heartfelt expression between close friends.
However, after reading the letter, she greatly admired and liked Qin Yuerong.
It's not surprising that she has these thoughts, after all, she was a modern person in her previous life and was exposed to so many new ideas.
But Qin Yuerong is a native-born young lady from ancient times, and it is truly rare for her to have such thoughts.
She wondered if those famous empresses and concubines of the past also had such clear-headed thinking.
That's why she didn't wither away in the harem.
"Miss Qin will definitely be a good assistant to the new emperor in the future." Lu Zhaoling read the letter, and just then Zhou Shiyue returned from the palace. She waved the letter and said this to Zhou Shiyue.
"Hmm? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow. "She wrote you a letter?"
"Correct."
"What does it say?" Zhou Shiyue asked casually, but he only asked and didn't intend to come closer to see the contents of the letter.
"It's just about what girls think," Lu Zhaoling said, not wanting to tell Zhou Shiyue everything Qin Yuerong had written.
This was also a secret among the girls.
She could share her own thoughts with Zhou Shiyue, but she didn't need to tell him what other girls were thinking.
“She’s writing to you, so she must consider you a good friend.” Zhou Shiyue didn’t press further. “That’s good.”
"I came back first after the ceremony this morning. Is there anything else that happened while you stayed in the palace?"
Lu Zhaoling naturally went to the palace in the morning as well; not only her, but all the people from the First Mystic Sect went.
This also includes Jin Yuan.
However, after the ceremony, they left the palace and went home first, and Zhou Shiyue did not come back with them.
Seeing the slight gloom on his face when he returned, Lu Zhaoling knew that something must have happened.
Zhou Shiyue sat down next to her. Qingyin brought over some tea. He took a sip of the hot tea and then scoffed, "What else could it be? Someone just upset Aze again."
"Empress? Oh no, Empress Dowager."
Lu Zhaoling still couldn't bring herself to say it.
For example, if the former emperor is now the retired emperor, then when people want to address the retired emperor, they have to call him the retired emperor!
Previously, Zhou Ze's mother was called Empress, but now she is Empress Dowager.
As for the one in Cining Palace, she was the Empress Dowager before, and now she is the Grand Empress Dowager.
These two did not attend the enthronement ceremony in the morning because no one notified them at all.
Not only did they not notify them, Zhou Shiyue also ordered the palace servants to deliberately keep it from them.
It would have been unreasonable for these two not to attend the coronation ceremony, but otherwise why would it be said that this was the perfect time, place, and people?
There are perfectly valid reasons for that!
For example, if the Empress Dowager had a broken bone, she wouldn't be able to move and would have to rest quietly in the palace.
The Empress Dowager had also been affected by the curse and had fallen ill. She was too weak to get up and come out, so she stayed in the Buddhist hall to recuperate.
Alright, both of the most noble women in the Great Zhou Dynasty are resting quietly.
The ceremony proceeded smoothly without their presence.
If they showed up, Lu Zhaoling had no idea what they would cause. She even thought the Empress Dowager was capable of shouting that she disagreed with the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne during the ceremony, after all, Lu Zhaoling had never seen a mother like her before.
Zhou Shiyue instructed the palace servants to deliberately keep it from them, and Lu Zhaoling agreed.
However, after the ceremony, the matter was already settled, and they had to be informed.
Therefore, as soon as the ceremony ended, Zhou Shiyue sent someone to inform the Grand Empress Dowager and the new Empress Dowager.
Sure enough, both of them were shocked when they heard this.
"You have no idea, when my sister-in-law heard this news, it was like a bolt from the blue."
Zhou Shiyue had endured it for a long time in the palace, and as soon as he saw Lu Zhaoling, he couldn't help but complain to her.
He talked even more in front of Lu Zhaoling, and what he said was quite down-to-earth.
"She stood there for a long time, as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes didn't even blink, and her expression changed several times."
Lu Zhaoling burst out laughing when she heard this.
"How did you know? Didn't you send someone to inform them?"
"Yes, someone was sent to say it, but Aze and I went over too, and we're watching from outside the window."
Zhou Shiyue hummed and said, "Because Aze has some expectations for her, or you could say he's curious. He told me, 'Uncle, I really want to see how Mother will react when she hears this news.'"
“I know, Aze also wants to know if she will be happy for him.”
Looking at his expression and hearing his tone, Lu Zhaoling knew, "So he was disappointed again this time?"
"Yes, you're disappointed again, aren't you?"
"Her Majesty the Empress, no, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, was stunned when she heard this, and then what?"
Lu Zhaoling couldn't understand it either.
The crown prince has finally ascended the throne as emperor. He is her son. Isn't she happy?
"After she came to her senses, she grabbed a hand warmer from the side and smashed it hard on the ground."
Zhou Shiyue said coldly, "And you still say, why is he so unfilial?! Did he force his father? He clearly knows that his father waited so many years to finally become emperor, so why did he have to be deposed before he even got comfortable on the throne?"
Lu Zhaoling's eyes widened.
"No, she's standing up for the former emperor?"
“Hmm,” Zhou Shiyue also found it hard to believe, “You could even say I feel a little sorry for him. I feel sorry that he sat on the throne for several years and was then pulled down. I think that person must be in so much pain right now.”
That's... hard to judge.
Zhou Shiyue added, "She also said that Zhou Ze, as the emperor's own son, betrayed his own father! She also said that he was too impatient. Although his father didn't like him before, he had waited until now. Zhou Ling was disliked and no one else was competing with him. If he just waited a little longer, his father would have no choice but to pass the throne to him. She said that he was so impatient and couldn't wait, so he had to hurt his father. She said that he was cold-hearted and ruthless, but he was no different from his father."
