Chapter 10 is lively (Monday, seeking recommendation votes for ranking)

  "Oh, it's been a long time since this Qing Shui Palace was so lively."

  At that time, when Zhang Fei, Ming Fei and the princes and princesses were all entering the Qing Shui Palace, Zhou Jian also appeared at the front of the team and said faintly.

  But instead heard the noise outside and walked out.

  "Are you the big brother?"

  Zhou Chong, Zhou Fei, and Zhou Ting's eyes lit up when they saw Zhou Jian, and they asked in unison. Immediately afterwards, they suddenly realized how foolish their question was.

  But the three of them were not embarrassed at all, instead they hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.

  "Big brother, I'm Zhou Chong, your third younger brother. I heard that you were injured, so I brought Mother and sister to visit you."

  Zhou Chong was very quick-witted and respectfully came forward to pay his respects.

  "Big brother, we'll come to visit you together." Zhou Fei and Zhou Ting stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, preparing to hold onto Zhou Jian's arm, very attentive.

  Zhou Jian quietly took a step back and dodged.

  He then looked around at these so-called younger siblings, who were all relatively older and whom Zhou Jian had seen before.

  It's been over ten years, what impression is left?

  A few degrees of coldness appeared on Zhou Jian's face.

  Zhou Jian's indifference made Zhou Chong, Zhou Fei and Zhou Ting, who had come forward with enthusiasm, feel somewhat embarrassed.

  At this time, Guan Fei and Ming Fei also got off their carriages one after another.

  "It's been over a decade since we last met, and yet the young master has grown into a fine adult." The gentle expression on Empress Guan's face was unparalleled as she carefully examined Zhou Jian before speaking.

  It's reasonable for this grand hall to be like this.

  Because Guan Fei was a concubine, she would be considered a minor wife in an ordinary wealthy family. However, Zhou Jian is the eldest son of the legitimate wife, with a noble and respected status.

  The concubine should show respect when meeting the legitimate wife who gave birth to the eldest son.

  However, in today's context, it is somewhat ironic. The eldest son of a noble family dresses ordinarily, just like a commoner.

  And yet, the stepmother and stepsiblings are wealthy and refined, isn't that ironic?

  "Guanyin Bodhisattva."

  Don't hit a smiling face, after all, it's still a stepmother. If Zhou Jian is willing to take his sister and fly far away, he doesn't need to care about these things. However, Zhou Jian wants to make a vow to become the Emperor of Zhou Tian Xian, starting from the position of Zhou Wang, and step by step move up.

  Naturally, Zhou Jian slightly clenched his fist and said.

  It's just an attitude and doesn't count as being close. Although Zhou Jian has the mind of an adult, he still can't make such a pretentious appearance.

  "Alright, alright."

  Guan Fei didn't care about Zhou Jian's attitude, she just narrowed her eyes into a slit and said with a curved eyebrow.

  "Your Highness."

  Compared with Guan Fei, Ming Fei's demeanor was much more ordinary. She took a step forward, slightly bowed to Zhou Jian and said.

  Ming Fei's mother, Lady Zhou, also followed her and bowed slightly to Zhou Jian.

  For this gentle and soft-tempered Ming Fei, Zhou Jian still had some good feelings.

  Her complexion slightly eased, and she curtsied: "Princess Ming."

  Guan Fei saw that Zhou Jian's attitude towards her and Ming Fei was slightly different, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. However, on her face, there were even more smiles. She turned her head to look around and asked, "Why isn't the third princess here?"

  "Yes, I heard that Third Sister has had eye problems since she was young. Mother and I specifically brought some effective medicine for her."

  Zhou Fei said quietly beside Yin Qing.

  Miracle drug?

  Zhou Jian's heart skipped a beat, his sister Zhou Meng's eye disease was a pain in his heart. For many years, he had also wanted to find a miracle cure to treat his sister, but with his abilities, at most he could only go to the hospital to get some ordinary medicine.

  Now Zhou Fei mentioned the spiritual medicine, Zhou Jian was somewhat moved. However, Zhou Jian quickly wiped away this feeling. A real man should rely on his own two hands to earn what he needs.

  Besides, after a month or so, his plan succeeded, and as the crown prince, he had all sorts of spiritual medicines at his disposal, so there was no need for him to rely on the so-called kindness of his fourth brother, Zhou Fei.

  "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but my sister's eye disease has already improved a lot, so there's no need to trouble you."

  Zhou Jianwan refused.

  "Is that it? Didn't Second Brother send over the spiritual medicine?" Zhou Fei heard this and was slightly stunned, asking. Immediately afterwards, he urgently said: "Big Brother, Second Brother has crippled your leg, what kind of person doesn't need Fourth Brother to say more, his spiritual medicine can't be used carelessly, who knows if it's poisonous. Don't harm Third Sister."

  "Yes, poor Big Brother and Third Sister are harmless in the Qing Shui Palace, but Second Brother wants to hurt Big Brother so badly that he breaks his leg before stopping. To say nothing of being brothers, even if they were ordinary strangers, it shouldn't be this cruel."

  Zhou Chong nodded and chimed in from the side.

  Everyone understands each other's intentions, Zhou Chong and Zhou Fei are absolutely competitors, but at this moment they are united in targeting Zhou Feng. They have to take down the strongest first, only then do they have a chance.

  "Can't you tell that I'm making excuses? I don't want my sister to meet all of you riffraff."

  Zhou Jian sneered.

  More than a decade of indifference, could it be blown away by this moment's sweet cannonball? In fact, Zhou Jian felt disgusted looking at these so-called younger brothers and sisters.

  Especially for these younger brothers and sisters, even if they don't say it, Zhou Jian is clear.

  At the ceremony of investing the crown prince, three clans were present, all officials attended, and Zhou Wang was seated. It was not only his opportunity, but also the opportunity for these two people.

  What he can think of, others can think of too.

  However, Zhou Jian just wanted to obtain the position that should have belonged to him. These younger brothers thought that as the eldest son was crippled, they could take advantage of it to get rid of Zhou Feng, the second brother, and then fight to the death.

  Both sides have a huge conflict, it's really unnecessary to give them any face.

  Zhou Jian's direct words made everyone present slightly awkward.

  "Big brother, these are indeed messy things. If third sister were to hear them, it would indeed sully her ears. But even if they're messy, they're also a matter of great importance."

  Zhou Chong was indeed quick-witted and had a plan in mind, so his reaction was the fastest. However, after being slightly embarrassed, he looked at Zhou Jian with a profound meaning.

  "Yes. Not avenging a grudge is not being a gentleman, Second Brother has harmed Eldest Brother to the point of crippling his legs. This is an irreconcilable feud, as long as Eldest Brother is willing, we are willing to help Eldest Brother take revenge on Second Brother together."

  Zhou Fei nodded repeatedly beside him and said.

  Right after that, Zhou Fei lowered his voice and said: "Looking at Big Brother's quick reaction and clear mind, he should know that if Second Brother ascends to the throne, Big Brother will definitely not have a good ending. But if it were me and Third Brother who ascend to the throne, it would be different. Big Brother and Third Sister will receive very good care."

  "That's right." Zhou Chong nodded and said, immediately, Zhou Chong revealed his plan: "As long as Big Brother cries out on the imperial court that day, with tears in his eyes, we two join hands, plus the Zhao family power behind Big Brother, and some old ministers who respect the eldest son, we can definitely overthrow Second Brother."

  It's indeed a similar idea, just focusing on the morning assembly a month later.

  Zhou Jian sneered inwardly and was about to respond.

  But then he heard the sharp voice of the eunuch rising from inside.

  "The Princess Duan has arrived."

  This time it was really lively, all three imperial consorts arrived at the palace.

  The sarcasm on Zhou Jian's face grew thicker.

  In the palace, three consorts had not gathered before him for many years. He recalled that more than a decade ago, when his mother was still alive, on his birthday every year, the three consorts would gather together and present gifts.

  To congratulate the king's eldest son on his birthday.

  It's been over ten years since we last met, it's really great to see you again.
