Chapter 481: Cross-examination

The princess has been talking about her father's stepchild for many years, and the princess's clever actions have created a great general who has made great achievements in the First World War, and is a role model for all the ladies in Kyoto.

mentioned this, Cheng's mother was honored.

Her old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "This matter, no one really knows better than I know, the princess has been smart since she was a child, but it's a pity that her life has suffered a little ......." ”

sighed, Cheng's mother had tears in the corners of her eyes, she quickly wiped them away, and continued, "The old general is dedicated to the country, the eldest young master spilled his blood on the battlefield, their death hit the princess too hard, plus the lady was depressed, at that time, if it wasn't for the Zhao family to take the princess to enlighten, I was really worried that the princess wouldn't be able to think about it, so I went with them." ”

My father and brother are dead, leaving only the princess to live alone in the world, and those who are not strong enough will really find short-sightedness.

That kind of pain, Minglan has experienced, the pain penetrates the bone marrow, and the pain is so painful that he can't breathe.

It's just that she is much luckier than the princess, she can live a new life and have a chance to make amends.

Thinking of the past, Cheng's mother's eyes were red all the time, and she said, "I still remember that day, the carriage of the Zhao family came to pick up the princess, and the general stood next to the stone lion in front of the general's mansion in rags, and the princess saw him at a glance, he came to worship the old general and the old lady, knowing that the princess was going to the Zhao family, she didn't dare to come forward to disturb, but the princess still remembered him, the old general said that he had good roots and bones, and he was a good material for martial arts.

The princess remembered the old general's words and wanted to help him do what he didn't finish, plus the princess went to the Zhao family, there was no one in the general's mansion, and the Chu family declined, this is the lintel that the old general erected with blood fell like this, the princess couldn't bear it, she took the general's hand and walked into the ancestral ancestral hall, announcing that the Chu family was up and down, and the general would be the young master of the Chu family in the future, her second brother, and the Chu family's family business would be inherited by him.

At that time, there were still many people in the Chu family, who knew that the princess was going to take the stepchildren for the old general, and they all flocked to the general's mansion.

At that time, the general's martial arts were mediocre, emaciated and skinny, the princess came forward to find the first general under the old general, and asked him to teach the general, the old general was famous, and the princess was his orphan, for the sake of the old general's face, whatever the princess asked, they would agree, and from then on, they really took the general as a young ......general. ”

General Chu swore to live up to the princess's kindness and not to fall into the prestige of the old general Chu, plus he was the successor of the old general of Chu and the son of the lintel, and the Chu family army was the only one.

In less than three years, he gained a reputation and gained a firm foothold in the army with his blood and wounds.

The princess did not know about the marriage, General Chu did not know, after knowing, he went to the Zhao family to question, almost was blasted out, and later he left, the Zhao family and General Chu came to pick it up, and the princess chose to go back to the Chu family.

After that, the relationship between the princess and the Zhao family faded.

Cheng's mother bypassed the Zhao family, but what Minglan wanted to know most was this part, for fear of startling the snake, Minglan didn't dare to ask too bluntly, "When I entered the palace that day, the queen said that she and her mother had grown up together since childhood, and they had nothing to talk about, she was seriously ill, and her mother was willing to get on the sedan chair for her, and the mother concubine should have spent a happy time in the Zhao family, right?"

Cheng's mother nodded and said, "The Zhao family is very good to the princess, going in and out with the queen, eating and wearing, what the queen has, the princess has what, the princess has what, the princess likes the princess very much, and plans to let the eldest lord marry the princess, this is not the princess who needs to be happy later, it happens that the queen is sick ......." ”

Minglan's eyes widened when he heard this.

The princess almost married Master Zhao?

Don't be so scary!

How can Lord Zhao be worthy of the princess, although the prince and Li are bastards, but Lord Zhao is not worthy of lifting shoes for the prince.

It's just that it's normal for a cousin to marry a cousin, plus the princess's father and brother are gone, but the family affairs are up to the grandfather and uncle, they want the princess to marry Master Zhao, and the princess can't seem to refuse.

She insisted on not marrying, she just looked down on her cousin, the Zhao family was so good to her, and it was chilling to refuse.

Could it be that this is why the princess chose to rejoice for Queen Zhao?

Although the prince is blind, he is better than Master Zhao.

Minglan has been in the Zhao family for seven years, she knows a lot about the Zhao family, the Zhao family is praised as the head of the noble family in Kyoto, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhao family has been talented for several generations, no one can compare, but that is just the appearance, how many people know inside.

Master Zhao raised thin horses, and Mrs. Zhao knew about it, so she sent the grandmother around her to follow Master Zhao, and when he left, she hanged the thin horse alive with a white-collar collar.

After Master Zhao found out, he quarreled with Mrs. Zhao and didn't enter her room for two months.

This matter is very troublesome in the Zhao family, but outside the Zhao family, no one knows.

A man who steals and raises thin horses, Minglan is spurned in her heart, although she is very respectful to Master Zhao on the surface.

But how can such a man be worthy of the princess, even if the prince is separated dozens of times, he is a hundred times stronger than him.

Minglan fell into deep thought, and only then did a sentence flash through her mind, and she couldn't remember it for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Minglan remembered.

That day, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao quarreled, and the tea cup in the house fell to the ground, she and Mu Jinghua went to persuade Mrs. Zhao, but her leg was accidentally smashed by the jade Ruyi who was thrown over, and Mrs. Zhao yelled, "You have to marry me, you want to marry someone else, maybe you will be shrouded in horse leather at this time!"

The horse leather shroud mostly refers to soldiers who died on the battlefield.

The battlefield of the military general is the border pass, relying on the gun in his hand and full of blood, the battlefield of Wenchen is the court, with a mouth and a pen in his hand, no matter how the horse leather shroud is used, it can't be used on Master Zhao, unless he doesn't become a Wenchen and becomes a military general.

In addition, Cheng's mother just said that the old man of the Zhao family plans to let the old man Zhao marry the princess.

This is considered a match.

Minglan looked at Cheng's mother and said, "It turns out that the mother concubine almost married Master Zhao, and Master Zhao's calligraphy is much more vigorous and powerful than that of ordinary literati, and they all say that he is not as powerless as ordinary literati, could it be that he has practiced martial arts with General Chu?"

Cheng's mother looked at Minglan, a touch of inquiry flashed in her eyes, Minglan's heart skipped a few beats, she seemed to ask too much.

Sure enough, Cheng's mother smiled, "Why is the princess so interested in the Zhao family?"

Minglan smiled, "I have some entanglements with Miss Zhao, although it is not a deep hatred, but it is not a small contradiction, I know more about the Zhao family, I have the bottom in my heart, Mother Cheng is the princess's confidant, and she has followed the princess in the Zhao family for several years, and she must know more than others, and it is true." ”[.]
