Chapter 29: Winning and Losing

The next song and dance are a little lackluster than Ren Jieyu's performance.

The emperor looked at it, his eyes glancing at the sleeve from time to time.

Zhuang Zhao put a new pot of lotus dew on the case, and poured her a cup of white tea, which smelled fragrant and fragrant, like tea.

The prince took a sip of Longquan wine with a smile, watched her take a sip, and then tears came out in an instant.

"Spicy" she covered her mouth, the corners of her eyes were red, and she cried aggrievedly.

"Yes, let's see if you dare to drink indiscriminately next time." The prince asked Tan Chen to pour her sobering tea.

After listening to the prince's words, she wanted to have the backbone not to drink.

But it's too much! Hot! Finish!

She still picked up a few sips and drank it down.

The tip of the tongue is bitter and numb,

It dilutes the spiciness.

The prince sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for her, "Come, eat this." ”

The sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet and fragrant, her favorite, but I don't know why I always feel that there is a smell of meat in this piece today.

She turned her head and spit the meat on the veil, "Fishy, don't." ”

"Fishy?" The prince is strange, the people in the imperial dining room will not even burn sweet and sour pork ribs.

He took a bite and it was rich, sweet and sour. No problem.

"Maybe I just drank lotus dew, and I'm not used to it." Zhuang Zhao didn't think much about it.

The emperor had to get up halfway through his seat.

He can't let go of playing here, so the emperor will not sit until the end.

He said a few words when he passed by the queen, and then took Ren Jieyu away.

As soon as he left, the queen said, "The next thing is Douqiao, who wants to come this year?" ”

Douqiao is to take something and put it in a dark room for people to touch, and whoever touches it first wins.

The girls below are a little eager to try.

Getting the first name makes it easier to get married.

The last few people to participate were Miss Xu San of Zhenguo Gongfu, Zhuangjiazhuang Second Girl, Wang Wu Girl from Wang Ge's hometown and Xie Qi from Xie Ge's hometown.

All four were concubines.

Even if the concubines don't have any false names, there are still people who ask to marry.

They don't participate in this kind of competition.

The queen took a jade hairpin from her head and asked Mama Zheng to go to the room and put it away.

The four girls were blindfolded and let people enter the house, and the next thing was to see whose luck was better.

Someone came out after a while, but it was Zhuang Zhe.

She held the short hairpin in both hands and presented it to Mama Zheng.

The queen smiled, "This is the second girl of the Zhuang family, right?" As for Mrs. Zhuang, I want to ask her how she teaches her granddaughters, they are all very clever. ”

Old Madam Zhuang stood up and walked to the middle, and saluted, "Niangniang is healthy." ”

"Well-being." The queen asked Mama Zheng to help Mrs. Zhuang to sit down beside her, and pointed to Zhuang Zhao, "Thanks to your granddaughter, she has shared a lot of worries for me." Does this second girl have a family? ”

The queen meant that she was going to marry herself.

Of course, Mrs. Zhuang is a hundred willing.

"Not yet, if Niangniang can point out someone's home for her, that's her creation."

Zhuang Zhe blushed, wanting to say anything but didn't dare.

She knew the consequences of saying this.

She didn't dare.

If......

If the person the queen is referring to is not bad, she will be married.

He, Zhuang Zhe secretly glanced at the slender prince, and regarded it as a dream of his own.

The queen said, "I heard that the son of the Qian Shangshu family is a talent, and he was very helpful when he fought Beiyi before. Not married yet, right? ”

Mrs. Qian hurriedly stood up, "Back to Niangniang, the dog is not married yet." ”

Qian Gongzi made a name for himself in the First Battle of Beiyi and had a bright future.

What's more, he is young, he doesn't have those old slippery city mansions, he has a straightforward temperament, and the emperor values him very much.

This can be called a fast son-in-law of Chenglong.

Both Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were very happy.

Only Zhuang Zhe bowed his head and was silent.

Zhuang Zhao secretly said that it was bad. Mr. Qian is a martial artist, but what Zhuang Zhe likes is the kind of handsome young man, and he was scolded by Mrs. Zhuang before because of reading these words. The queen pointed to Mr. Qian, and Zhuang Zhe was definitely unhappy.

Although she did not dare to refuse, she would not gladly agree.

This can be regarded as a loss of face for the queen.

Sure enough, when everyone was waiting for Zhuang Zhe to kowtow and thank him, Zhuang Zhe stiffened and did not speak.

The hall gradually fell silent.

Zhuang Zhao smiled, "Second sister is happy and stupid again, don't you even remember Xie En." She stood up and confessed to the queen, "This girl is this kind of character, she is so happy that she can't speak, and please don't blame the mother." ”

Concubine Gongshun smiled, "It's the first time I've heard of such a person, don't be reluctant, right?" ”

How uncomfortable it is to listen to this.

Old Madam Zhuang coughed twice, and Zhuang Zhe leaned down in fear, "The courtiers are indeed happy and stupid, please don't blame the mother." ”

The queen doesn't care whether she is true or fake, in short, just round her face.

But the tone finally faded, "Stand down." ”

Mrs. Zhuang pleaded with her, "It's the courtiers who didn't teach her well." Niangniang Longen, courtiers are grateful to Dade. ”

Mrs. Zhuang is still a few years older than the queen.

She has such a low profile, and the queen can't say anything more.

Zhuang Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhuang with some concern.

Mrs. Zhuang really had a cold face and didn't say a word.

After a while, the queen said, "It's almost all right, let's disperse." ”

She was the first to go, followed by Gongshun Guifei Sun Guifei and so on.

The prince said, "I'll go talk to my grandmother, and the paper inkstone will stay by your side to serve, and after you and Mrs. Zhuang finish talking, let him come to me." ”

Zhuang Zhao smiled at him gratefully.

The prince is really considerate of her.

She asked Baicha to go to Mrs. Zhuang's side, and she went to the side hall first.

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Zhuang and the others came.

She couldn't hide her excitement and stood up and shouted, "Mother, grandmother." ”

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes were slightly wet, and she held her in her arms, "Seeing that you have lost weight again, is the crown princess embarrassed you?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang was born in the Luohe Chen family, and the Chen family taught men not to take concubines.

When she married into the Zhuang family, Lord Zhuang respected her again, and she didn't have much contact with the private affairs of the back house, so she didn't have so many scruples when she spoke.

If it weren't for this, Old Madam Zhuang wouldn't have to teach Zhuang Zhao personally.

However, Mrs. Zhuang is still very good at making ideas in major matters.

"Mother, how can the crown princess treat me badly, don't think about it again." Zhuang Zhao hugged her arm and coquettishly.

Mrs. Zhuang snorted, "Why am I thinking nonsense?" Before you entered the palace, the crown princess's reputation for jealousy spread everywhere. You can't change her personality as soon as you enter the palace, right? ”

Mrs. Zhuang said, "Okay, let's say a few words." Zhao Zhao, but what do you want to tell us? ”

"The queen reminded me before, saying that the emperor intends to choose a son-in-law for the third princess, brother, hasn't you decided on a family yet?"

Old Madam Zhuang was shocked when she heard this, the horse is not so easy to do.

What's more, she is still the sister of King Qi.

"I showed him the second girl of the Xie family, the one who participated in the draft with you before," Mrs. Zhuang said, "It's just not decided yet." Ming'er, I'll go to Xie's Mansion to talk to Mrs. Xie, the sooner the family matter is settled, the better,"

lest you have long nights and many dreams.

Zhuang Zhao also means this.

"Miss Xie has a noble character, but she is colder." Zhuang Zhao carefully recalled this second girl Xie, and a cold face appeared in his mind. Such a cold woman doesn't know if her brother can eat it.

"It's nothing to have a cold temperament," said Mrs. Zhuang, "I'm most afraid of being hot and cold, and that's why people can't guard against it." ”

Zhuang Zhao nodded, "That's right." “

Next, the three grandparents and grandchildren talked affectionately for a long time.

The white tea came up, and as soon as Zhuang Zhao opened the tea lid, he felt that the tea was full of earthy smell.

"Why does this tea still smell fishy?" She didn't start, a little disgusting.

Mrs. Zhuang took a sip, the tea rhyme was long, the aroma was overflowing, and there was any fishy smell there.

She thought of something, and put down the teacup excitedly, "Have you come to change this month?" ”

Zhuang Zhao was stunned, her change of washing was often delayed, so she didn't care.

"Not yet, but my mother knows, there are also postponements for two or three days." She touched her stomach, her heart began to speed up, and she commanded according to her mood: "White tea, go and invite Imperial Doctor Yu to come." ”

Doctor Yu came quickly.

Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang both stood aside and watched him diagnose his pulse, their eyes firmly fixed on his pulse-checking hand.

Imperial Doctor Yu has also seen a lot of big scenes, and the old god is taking a pulse on the ground, and only after a while did he laugh and laugh.

"This time, I really want to congratulate the owner of the village."

Finally pregnant, the prince kept sending people to harass him.

He didn't send his son Guanyin, what's the use of looking for him?

This can be regarded as a relief, and Imperial Doctor Yu smiled very sincerely.

Mrs. Zhuang touched the string of Buddha beads in her hand and couldn't help but put her hands together and shouted, "Amitabha." ”

Mrs. Zhuang was also overjoyed.

"Thank you Imperial Doctor Yu, Bai Cha, reward him for me." Zhuang Zhao smiled so much that his eyes were bent, and his crescent eyes looked extremely cute. "Paper inkstone, you go and sue His Highness."

Paper Yan ran out excitedly and ran to the front of Kunning Palace, just when Tan Chen saw it.

"What's going on like this" Tan Chen glanced at him, his eyebrows were full of joy, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

Paper Yan kept an eye on him, "It's a good thing." Please let my brother report for me. ”

"If you say something first, if it's not a big deal, I won't bother to report it for you."

In the final analysis, I just wanted to grab the credit, but the paper inkstone refused to say, but said, "My brother will report for me, if my brother refuses, I will go in by myself." ”

When the time comes, when the prince is happy, he will definitely not punish him.

Tan Chen snorted, but went in for him to report.

When the paper inkstone went in and told Zhuang Zhao that he was pregnant, the prince and the queen were very happy.

"Blessed is this child." The queen asked Mama Zheng to go to the treasury to get something to reward her.

The prince couldn't sit still, confessed to the queen, and strode towards Zhuang Zhao.

Tan Chen trotted behind to follow.

Oops, hey, I'm gasping for it.

Your Highness, slow down.

Tan Chen panted and chased after the prince who was walking faster and faster.

I finally understand what it means to be in good spirits when people are happy.

Look at the prince's spiritual head, it's enough.

The paper inkstone walked unhurriedly behind him, his face was as cold as frost, but in fact, he was already humming a song in his heart.

God help me.
