"Everything else can belong to someone else, but the body is one's own. After a long time, Zhao Taojiao, the wife of the prince of Guangling, pushed the bird's nest porridge in front of her and said softly, "You are just unhappy, why don't you even refuse to eat anything?"

Sitting in front of her was Zhao Taoming, the third lady of the Zhao family, a well-known beauty in Chang'an City, who had obviously lost a lot, so that the whole person looked a little haggard.

But after all, he is young and has a good foundation, so he doesn't look embarrassed, but has a pitiful attitude.

She said in a cold tone: "Is my body my own? I thought that I was a person, along with the three souls and six spirits, all of whom belonged to the Zhao family." Therefore, I should not have my own thoughts, I should listen to my grandmother for everything, even if my grandmother wants me to do something that is unconscionable, I should do it!"

"......" Zhao Taojiao was silent for a while before she said, "In fact, Mizhen has to be talented, to be good-looking, this Da Mu is up and down, no matter what it is compared to, I am afraid that there are very few people who can compare with him." ”

When Zhao Taocheng heard this, there was a little water in her eyes: "He is very good, but he is Sheng Weiqiao's!"

"But grandmother won't let Sheng Weiqiao live too long. Zhao Taojiao was a little unbearable, but thinking about how many days this sister had come to live here, she didn't even want to eat anything in the past two days, so she came over to persuade her for a long time, a bowl of bird's nest porridge was hot twice, but she had no appetite, and she didn't want to say something, so she had to say it at this moment, "You should know that when my aunt was angry, she wanted to kill her second cousin, but it was my grandmother who persuaded my aunt." This move can be said to be a grandmother's consideration of flesh and blood, and she doesn't want her aunt to bear the reputation of killing her son. But later, he raised his second cousin in the Sheng Mansion, and he didn't even prohibit his second sister from being close to him...... Why is that?"

Zhao Taocheng did not speak.

Zhao Taojiao said on her own: "What is my aunt's heart knot for my second cousin, outsiders don't know, but we know it very well! Even if the third cousin is doing well, and even coming back in a beautiful way, but the third cousin is still indifferent to the palace, far less affectionate than the Sheng family, based on this alone, my aunt is still indifferent to the life and death of the second cousin!"

"Grandmothers may have sincere love and affection for their grandchildren, whether they are second or third cousins. But these two cousins combined, in the grandmother's mind, I'm afraid that it is not as important as my aunt!"

"After all, my aunt is the pearl of my grandmother's palm that was raised and trained by herself!"

"What do you think is the reason why your grandmother knows that her aunt is very disgusted with her second cousin, but she still raises her second cousin in the Zhao Mansion?"

She sneered, "Obviously, the second sister can be raised in Zhuangzi at this time, and with the feeling that my aunt's family had about the second cousin at that time, it was originally good for him to leave Chang'an City, wasn't it?"

"Moreover, the Zhao family is a family heirloom with poetry and books, and our father went to Northern Xinjiang early in the morning, but the uncle was born in Tanhua, and several brothers, even if they are the fifth brother who is addicted to the way of Danqing, their schoolwork is not up to the title of the gold list, in the end, it is also true!"

"But the second cousin grew up in the Zhao Mansion, but he is famous for not being able to write or speak of martial arts, and he is not even likable to others, eager for quick success, selfish and ......ruthless."

When the princess of Guangling said this, she looked at the young sister's gaze and felt a little pity, "Grandmother has been calculating things for so long, how can it be that you can resist after living with me for a few days? It's not that my sister doesn't help you, but I can't do anything! What's more, the future that my grandmother gave you is not bad, if it weren't for Sheng Weiqiao, would you not like Mizhen? If you don't like it, what did you do in the first place After knowing that he was happy with Sheng Weiqiao, you want to cry and wet the pillow towel in the middle of the night?!

"I like Mizhen, but this kind of murderous thing, I don't know it's okay, if I know, how can I accept it?!" Zhao Taocheng bit her lip and choked up, "You should know why I have always looked down on my second cousin and Huihe! Now they teach me to do things like them...... I think it's better to die!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Taojiao frowned when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "At this time, my grandmother also told you a plan, I don't know if it can be successful! You will be born and die at this time, don't think about other people, but also think about our father! Daddy, what is he trying to do in Northern Xinjiang all these years?! In the final analysis, it is not for our brothers and sisters?!"

"If you have three long and two short, and ask him to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, isn't this his life!"

Zhao Taocheng wiped her tears and said, "Then what can I do? Do you remember that we used to study in the boudoir? At that time, both my husband and my grandmother taught us to be virtuous. Could it be that the integrity is an opportunity to inquire about the overall situation of the grandfather and fulfill his own conspiracy and calculation?!"

"It's useless to say that. Zhao Taojiao said calmly, "You just think about General Zhou back then, and the grandchild of the Meng family, it was Meng Jiaqian, who was being cleaned up by Mi Zhen in the western Xinjiang at this time, and was not a few years older than Mi Zhen and was General Yunlu." How much integrity do you have to learn from General Zhou?"

"......" Zhao Taocheng thought about it seriously, didn't speak for a while, and said after a while, "Sheng Weiqiao has been married to Mizhen for more than half a year, Mizhen's backyard is clean, and she has always been the only one." Counting the time, maybe she's already pregnant? Big sister, don't you really think it's too evil?"

Zhao Taojiao said lightly: "If she is really pregnant at this time, or even gives birth in the future, it will be even more evil." ”

This time, Zhao Taocheng was silent for a longer time before she said: "I knew that today, I should have found a sweetheart for myself earlier." ”

"That's what my grandmother has to look at. Zhao Taojiao reached out and touched her head, and sighed, "In these years, it is not easy for people who bother with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day, so how easy is it for us to be in such a high place?"

Seeing Zhao Tao's tears, she pursed her lips and raised her chin in the direction of the back hall, "Do you know why the prince of the world is not here with me these days?"

"He's trying his best to find trouble with Meng Guihuan!"

"Do you think he doesn't know that Meng Guihuan was also calculated by the Meng family to enter this palace, and her compatriots and brothers have found a good young and handsome husband for her, if she can choose herself, why should she come over to make an old man who is more than old enough to be her father?"

However, he couldn't help the Meng family, and he couldn't help his biological father...... This is full of resentment, who will he face if he doesn't attack Meng Guihuan?!"

Zhao Taojiao said indifferently, "I actually think Meng Guihuan is pitiful, but if I stop the prince, the prince should find trouble with me and my child." So apart from watching, I couldn't even give Meng Guihuan an apologetic look in front of people. ”

glanced at Zhao Taocheng, who was still crying silently, "People like us are almost the same, you think about Queen Meng, think about Meng Guihuan, and then think about our cousin and niece Jian'an, who has just reached the age of leaving the cabinet...... In contrast, our side, for you and my sister, and the husband's family chosen by Jian'an, is actually not bad, isn't it?"

"I just don't understand, since my grandmother was prepared when my second cousin was taken to the Zhao Mansion as early as possible, why did she teach me and my second sister to be virtuous and high all these years?" Zhao Taocheng suddenly asked, "If we didn't listen to those teachings about Ning Wei Yu being broken rather than being complete, but were cultivated to be like the county lord of Jingshu who is good at mediating all parties, I think it would be better to accept the current thing?"

Zhao Taojiao calmly asked: "The county lord of Jingshu is indeed exquisite, but do you think she is the kind of person who will listen to other people's arrangements?"

Zhao Taocheng was stunned, and then listened to her sister continue, "Even if she leaves according to other people's arrangements on the surface, what will she think in private, and will she do something at a critical moment......

"I know!" Zhao Taocheng laughed bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "Grandmother wants our sisters to always obey her, and she doesn't want us to jump out of her arrangement." Naturally, we are naïve and principled, and we can't think of a third way except crying and dying when something happens...... Isn't it?"

Zhao Taojiao was silent for a while before saying, "Don't blame your grandmother, you are young and have never experienced what happened to General Zhou." Of course, I was not very old at that time, but although I did not witness the death of General Zhou in northern Xinjiang, he was beheaded in Chang'an...... I've seen the escort procession cross the street. ”

"The Zhou family is the most famous general of the dynasty, there are hundreds of blood relatives and more servants!"

"But that day, there were only a dozen prisoner cars in the escort team, and the others, it is said that they couldn't even survive the prison!"

"General Zhou's biological mother was very long-lived and healthy, and she was still there at the time, even three months before General Zhou's accident, at a banquet, she also gave me a bracelet, touched the top of my hair and praised my grandmother for my good looks. ”

"I recognized her that day when she was locked in a prison van and headed for the noon gate...... Across the crowd, I asked my grandmother, would you like to go up and say hello?"

That was obviously not a good memory, Zhao Taocheng stopped after a few words, and only said softly, "Grandmother kept holding me that day, and I remember her hand, which has been shaking." ”

"If my uncle is the same as today, what do our Zhao family do to assist him in practicing Zuo?" Zhao Taocheng asked with tears in her eyes.

Zhao Taojiao raised her eyes: "Third sister, this is ...... You have to ask the Emperor!"

She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Before his death, the first emperor insisted on allowing his aunt to be a concubine to his uncle, making it clear that he wanted to tie the Zhao family's death to his uncle's side...... The Zhao family does not want to follow in the footsteps of General Zhou after his death today, so they can only assist their uncle; ”

"You think Grandmother was happy to sacrifice us?"

"Or do you think she's so calculating?"

"She's just...... I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person!"

"However, since the first emperor tied up the Zhao family to his uncle, our family has no qualifications to continue to shine in the wind and moon!"

Seeing that her sister was still sobbing, she shook her head, "Think about it!"

Zhao Taojiao, who was wholeheartedly comforting her sister, and Zhao Taojiao, who was out of control, didn't notice that a figure passed by quietly in the back window.

After a while, Chongxin Bofu, Meng Guiyu opened the secret letter expressionlessly, hurriedly swept the few words above, squinted his eyes, stared at a pot of lush "red clothes and green clothes" on the desk for a moment, but called the scholar Meng Yan to him: "Over there in the Guogong Mansion...... How's it going?"
