Chapter 11: The Old Man

After Princess Chaoyang was grounded, no one came to disturb Zhao Chan anymore, and after knowing that she was pregnant, Zhao Chan washed her previous depression, and even took Lu Pozi to get pregnant, but Xiao An has always been absent-minded recently. Zhao Chan wanted to ask several times, but was interrupted by Lu Pozi. Zhao Chan didn't think much about it, and the days passed like this, and it was plain and indifferent to the Chinese New Year's Eve.

According to ancient legends, the beast of the year was extremely vicious, because of the disaster in the world, was descended by Emperor Yu, trapped in the underground palace, day and night, full of suffering. Later generations in order to recite the virtue of Emperor Yu, they set up an altar on this day to commemorate. There are also descendants who say that "year" timekeeping.

However, at this time, the "Chinese New Year" only existed in the aristocracy or the wealthy family. On this day, the monarchs of various countries are to take the clan to set up altars to worship heaven and earth and sacrifice to Emperor Yu, followed by a luxurious New Year's banquet.

Zhao Chan ordered Mrs. Lu to move the couch and coffee table to the window, and with the distant music coming from the window, she made tea by herself.

The days are always much shorter in winter, no, when it is almost unitary, the sky is getting darker. It's just that the cold wind is tireless, and it still keeps raging, and it still makes all kinds of roars.

Zhao Chan poured the cooked tea into the teacup, and the technique was skillful and pleasing to the eye.

"The girl knows such an elegant thing." Mrs. Lu returned to the inner room, and she had only seen cooking tea when Mr. Lu was entertaining.

"I'm idle, I learned it in the dance pavilion." Tingwu Pavilion is an elegant entertainment venue, which has to match the preferences of the distinguished guests. Tea cooking is one of them. Zhao Chan glanced at Mrs. Lu, and said casually: "Sit down, it's just the two of us here, and I'm afraid it will take some time to return." ”

As the prince of Qin, Yiren has some banquets that are indispensable to him, and it is still such an important New Year's banquet, after a social interaction, he may have to get drunk.

"No." Mrs. Lu did not shirk, and knelt down at the head of Zhao Chan after taking the couch.

"Now I'm pregnant, and I can't drink this good stuff." Zhao Chan handed the teacup to Mrs. Lu. Since Princess Chaoyang injured her and diagnosed her as pregnant, the people of the entire Zhao Palace have treated her quite carefully, and even the treatment of Xiquan Palace has been much better. No, those eunuchs in the Inner Servant Palace also sent such good tea. It's a pity that she can't drink it.

Mrs. Lu took the teacup with both hands and couldn't wait to put it to her mouth. Unexpectedly, the tea had just been boiled and was boiling hot, and as soon as Lu Pozi was scalded by the tea, the cup was thrown out.

Boom! Shattered.

Xiao An outside heard the sound and hurriedly entered the inner room, but saw such a scene.

Lu Pozi stuck out her tongue and fanned her hands incessantly, trying to drive away the heat source. That look funny made Zhao Chan sneer.

When Mrs. Lu saw Zhao Chan smiling like this, she smiled very embarrassedly, and said, "The old slave has never drunk this good thing, he can't drink it, he can't drink it." ”

"It's okay, just be careful, don't get hot anymore." Zhao Chan said and handed another cup of tea to Mrs. Lu, and when she saw Xiao An enter the house, she hurriedly handed over tea to Xiao An.

This time, Mrs. Lu learned to be obedient, and she didn't dare to be anxious anymore, so she just put the teacup to her mouth and kept blowing.

Seeing this, Zhao Chan and Xiao An looked at each other and smiled, and then didn't say anything more. Since Xiao An reported to Yiren that time, Zhao Chan's good impression of her has increased a lot.

Xiao An drank the tea, and was not in a hurry to sit, but carefully packed up the debris and other things on the ground, and then retreated, as if he knew that Lu Pozi had something to say to Zhao Chan.

After taking a deep look at Xiao An's back, Lu Pozi slowly put down the teacup and said, "Girl, don't blame the old slave for saying more, the old slave really thinks that there is something wrong with this Xiao An recently." ”

"Mother-in-law, you've said this several times." Zhao Chan's face was stern. Although she also felt that something was wrong with Xiao An, she didn't think much about it. What's more, she also risked her life to save herself once.

"Girl!" Lu Pozi was a little serious. "Well, no matter what, girl, remember that it is indispensable to be guarded against others."

"Hmm!" Zhao Chan had no objection to this, and nodded solemnly. In this Zhao Palace, she has to be careful, and her identity is special, so she is not a serious master.

"There is one more thing, the old slave thought, the girl still has a bottom in her heart." Lu Pozi hesitated for a long time before he began to say.

"What's the matter?"

"Today, Li Gong attended the New Year's banquet with his son, and he came back halfway, and he specially told the old slave" Lu Pozi looked up at Zhao Chan, with worry in her tone: "Princess Chaoyang appeared at the New Year's banquet!" ”

"It's not unexpected." Zhao Chan's hand pouring tea paused. Judging from King Zhao's doting attitude towards Princess Zhao, the "grounding" was meant to be seen by everyone, and sooner or later it will be solved. What Zhao Chan didn't expect was that King Zhao lifted the ban so quickly, and he refused to even give face to the envoys of the Qin State.

Is this Zhao's simple provocation to Qin? Or did Zhao intend to provoke a war at this time? Or is this Zhao Guo deliberately testing the bottom line of Qin State? In any case, at this time, you have to plan ahead: she is not alone, she still has children! In the past, it may have been capricious, but now ...... Zhao Chan unconsciously stretched out her hand to caress her still flat lower abdomen, where life is being conceived, the life of her child!

Almost instantly, these thoughts flashed through Zhao Chan's mind.

"Girl, in addition, Li Gong also met another acquaintance." Lu Pozi continued to add.

Zhao Chan couldn't guess what other acquaintances she had.

"It's Merriam-Webster!"

Zhao Chan was surprised: "How could she appear in the Zhao Palace?" "Didn't Wei Shi be kicked out of the house by Lu Buwei?!

"I don't know!" Lu Pozi was also a little puzzled. "At the beginning, Mr. obviously sold her to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion!"

"What! Qinglou Chu Pavilion! Zhao Chan originally thought that Lu Buwei just drove Wei out of the house, but she didn't expect him to have such a ruthless side, that is his woman! Not to mention how much affection there is, but it is also a woman who has served him, how can he!?

"That Wei doesn't know what tricks he played, he has a good relationship with Princess Chaoyang, and Gong Li also watched her appear at the New Year's banquet with Princess Chaoyang."

And Princess Chaoyang!? Zhao Chan's heart sank. A Chaoyang princess is already overwhelmed, and another Webster, I'm afraid she will still be busy. What's more, this Wei was also sold to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion for his own reasons, I'm afraid that his hatred for himself is not shallow. He and Na Webster are not masked, and now, this beam is also so deep. This road may be even more difficult in the future.

"Li Gong also came to say." Mrs. Lu changed the topic and continued: "Mr. Lu said that you must keep the child in your belly no matter what!" ”

"Hmm," Zhao Chan replied, her tone unusually firm. Her children, she will swear to protect them.
