Chapter 36 Selection

Not long after the Qingming Dynasty, the news of the princess of Wei choosing a concubine spread all over the capital, and some courtiers and clans in the court invariably remained silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

None of the people that Empress Dowager Tian fell in love with, so she had to privately confess that she was a serious member of the governor's office.

Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries, Shi Yu agreed.

Empress Dowager Tian knew that Zhao Zhu was already old, and if there were too many restrictions on the conditions for the concubine, it would be difficult to choose the right one, so she instructed him: "After you can choose the honorable relatives, the scholarly family, the precession is about ten years, but the blessed ones are still there." ā€

All at once the age of the colt was relaxed to fifteen to thirty-five years old.

Shi Xuan asked the princess of Wei in detail about her preferences, and went back to order people to secretly select.

The matter quickly reached Zhao Zhu's ears.

After the Lantern Festival, Empress Dowager Tian no longer summoned her to assist in handling official documents, nor did she contact the official recitals, but only asked her to adjust her body wholeheartedly to be married.

Zhao Zhu originally planned to design these days, so that Empress Dowager Tian understood her importance, and first postponed her marriage and then planned another plan, either to support the Tao or to teach her, and she could finally delay the family affair for a few years. As for the rest of the matter, find a way to solve it.

Who knew that the Lantern Festival was robbed, which disrupted all her plans, not only did she not take back what she took, but she also fell in love with someone else's way.

Zhao Zhu now hates that he has no one among the guards, secondly hates that he did not arrange people in the Imperial City Division at that time, thirdly hates that he was held by Tian Chu, and fourthly hates himself for so many years, only caring about performing in front of Empress Dowager Tian, but forgetting that the most important thing is to cultivate his own power.

The most hateful thing is that now that so much time has passed, she still doesn't know who the thief is.

But it's happened, and she's not going to be tied to it. She knew that Empress Dowager Tian would eat soft or hard, so she changed her cloth clothes and went to the Vertical Arch Hall in the middle of the night to ask for a meeting.

Empress Dowager Tian announced that she had met her in the side hall.

Just this small detail, the meaning inadvertently revealed, made Zhao Zhu's heart beat half a beat faster.

She entered the hall, knelt beside the Empress Dowager Tian's knees, first silently tried tears, and then sobbed in a low voice.

Empress Dowager Tian let out a long sigh, stroked her head, and remained silent.

Zhao Zhu raised his face, his eyes were red and swollen, and he didn't apply fat powder on his face, looking very melancholy. She closed her eyes, put her head on Empress Dowager Tian's lap, and whimpered: "Queen Mother, isn't it good for An Ning to accompany you?" ā€

The last time Empress Dowager Tian saw her daughter crying was at the funeral of the former emperor and his royal children more than ten years ago. Her heart was sour, and she couldn't help but think of her son who died early.

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a long time.

However, Empress Dowager Tian still did not speak.

Zhao Zhu finally understood that this road was not working, she wiped away her tears, hugged the knees of the Empress Dowager Tian and whispered: "I beg the queen mother to promise me one thing......"

On the same day, Zhou Qin instigated Mrs. Zhao to go to Yanqing to watch the peach blossoms.

Chang Chunzi, the real person in charge of Yanqing Guan, was preaching outside, and Huayangzi, who stayed in the temple, received them.

Huayangzi was talking to Mrs. Zhao, and Zhou Qin avoided the servants and went out with Begonia.

Since the last time Zhou Qin asked "What are your plans in the future" in the carriage, Haitang began to secretly pay attention to the role of everyone around Mrs. Zhao.

She thought about it for a long time, and felt that she was neither good at arithmetic, nor could she be as good as Mama Meng who could manage hundreds of people and still not mess up, but she was a little more capable of interpersonal communication and personnel background than others.

She often asked someone to bring the famous snacks, snacks that were difficult to buy, and things that could be used to find Mama Zhang beside Mrs. Zhao, and Zhang Bi's family came to ask for advice.

Soon, she found out that the girl first asked about the officials she had befriended at home, and then it developed to explain some inexplicable things to her. For example, let her go out to inquire if the wife of such and such an official is from a certain place, whether such and such a person is a person in a certain year, and so on.

She quietly did it all.

Zhou Qin rewarded her with a jade bracelet.

The jade quality of the bracelet is excellent, and when you look at it through the sun, it is green and faint, and ordinary people can see that this thing is very valuable. Begonia didn't make a sound, pressed the bracelet under the box, and served more wholeheartedly.

Out of the side hall, Zhou Qin walked to the corner, gave Haitang two pieces of loose silver, and said, "You went to find the little Taoist boy who was not eye-catching in the view, and asked if there were any guests from other places here." ā€

She remembered hearing someone say in a trance that Shen Hu had lived in the capital for a year or two before joining the princess of Wei, and then inadvertently caught up with Tian Chu and got the position of princess's mansion.

She had dealt with Shen Hu occasionally before, and he did confide that his family was poor, and he lived in Yanqingguan for a period of time in order to save money, and he was very familiar with Changchunzi in Yanqingguan.

Now that I think about it, eight out of ten of his words are false. Poor and rich in martial arts, Shen Hu can not only use force to save the field, but also have something outstanding in his fists and feet, if his family is poor, where will he get the money to practice martial arts. That Changchunzi is famous for his profound Taoism, if he is just an ordinary martial artist, how can he be appreciated.

If according to the news from Begonia, he is a man, everything will make sense.

Haitang took the silver, pondered for a while, went out of the corner door, asked where the kitchen was, and went straight to the kitchen.

At this time, in the afternoon, it was past dinner, and the kitchen was empty, only a little Taoist boy was washing the dishes.

Haitang knocked on the open door and said with a smile: "Tong'er, borrow your kitchen to boil ginger water with me." As he spoke, he walked over and handed over a small dime of silver.

That Daotong was only about ten years old, and when he saw the silver, his heart jumped, and he saw that Begonia was dressed extraordinarily, and he was busy cleaning his hands to make a fire, and said, "What does my sister want, we have good starch sugar, brown sugar, and brown sugar here." ā€

Haitang smiled: "If you want some brown sugar, you can help me get two pieces of ginger, a piece of sugar, and boil two bowls of water." ā€

Dao Tong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and grinned: "Sister sit, I'll come." And he took the money carefully in his bosom.

Haitang wiped the little ones next to him, sat down with a handkerchief, and chatted with the little Taoist boy about his name and age, and said: "I heard that there are hundreds of people in this Yanqing Temple, and they are all for you to eat?" Wouldn't you be busy? ā€

The boy took two pieces of ginger, washed them with the water in the basin, and removed the key on his waist to open the cabinet and take the candy cubes, and said: "We have a good vegetarian meal, but they are all for you outsiders, we just eat some green vegetables and radish, but it is very easy, anyone can make a pot out." ā€

Dao Tong said with a smile: "We are no better than those who have registered in front of the saints in Tianqingguan, and they have money and rice every year, and they all rely on the incense money of these outsiders to support, if they come to give offerings, they don't even have a meal, wouldn't it be a shame." ā€

Haitang said: "I have a big brother who just came to the capital, I want to find a place to stay, and I don't want to go to the inn with many people, I don't know if you can live here?" ā€
