The things that should be talked about have been thoroughly discussed, Rong Zhao is not an extremely awkward person, and it has passed after two days of being comfortable, anyway, there is good food, good drink, and good service in this courtyard, and the parasite who comes to his hands and eats to open his mouth lives a carefree life.

Rong Zhao is good, and some people are not good. For example, Guo Yi, originally Xiao Zhengshi still remembered that he was old and had been on an errand in the country for many years, but now that he has suffered this unwarranted disaster, it is time to return to his hometown, so he thought about giving him a first-grade official rank and letting him retire with the position of a fourth-grade civil official, so that when he returns to his hometown, he can still enjoy subsidies according to the salary of a fourth-grade civil official, and his life will be more decent.

However, King Rui disagreed, and directly said that the old man was scared to death by Rong Zhao because he wanted to curry favor with King Su and show the color of King Rui's mansion, and he must not be spared.

Xiao Zhengshi heard this, but he didn't dare to refute it, thinking that King Rui is usually very sensible, but whenever he encounters Rong Zhao's matter, he starts to be unreasonable, so forget it, don't give Guo Yi a promotion, just let him tell him to old age with the official position of Dr. Wupin, and then give him some silver to comfort him in private.

However, King Rui seemed to see through Xiao Zhengshi's meaning, and said in a cold voice: "Uncle, don't be a good person, let him go back to his hometown to enjoy the blessings of Qingfu, with the intention of this king, let him continue to stay in the Guozijian, wait for the injury to heal, see if there are other errands, and then serve the court for a few years, and then talk about the matter of returning to the hometown." ”

Zhao Mu rarely talked to Xiao Zhengshi and called himself "this king", or the two of them were in front of many people, and those princes and ministers were watching, or he would be like this when he seriously wanted to give Xiao Zhengshi the prince's score. At this time, only their uncle and nephew spoke, and there were no outsiders, and he called himself the king, so he was naturally playing tricks.

"Okay, then according to the prince's wishes." Xiao Zhengshi nodded slowly, thinking that King Rui had a bad temper at the beginning of his serious illness, and Guo Yi's matter happened to be a bad one, so it was useless to say more, so it was better to look at it later.

Poor Guo Yi raised his arm bones three months later, but the flexibility of his wrist was not as good as before, and he couldn't write well, but he could barely organize the books, so Xiao Zhengshi transferred him to the Hanlin Academy to be responsible for managing the history books of the past dynasties.

In addition, because of this matter, Zhao Jun was also bad, and after Zhao Jun went back, he was severely taught a lesson by his father King Su, and he was punished for not eating dinner.

At that time, Zhao Xiaoshizi was very aggrieved, kneeling in her mother's small Buddha hall and secretly wiping her tears.

Her mother Tang is the daughter of Tang Li, the secretary of the military department, Tang is the princess carefully selected by Gongsun Quan for King Su, and the scheming city is naturally excellent.

Seeing his son's aggrieved appearance, Tang stuffed the handkerchief in his hand into his son's hand, turned around and sat down on the chair, and asked, "Jun'er, your father said that you were wrong, do you know what is wrong?" ”

"My son doesn't know." Zhao Jun's upright temperament really followed Zhao Run.

"Well, if you don't know, then the mother will sue you. Otherwise, you'll just stand here for three days and three nights, and you won't know what's wrong with you. Tang sighed, and Fang continued: "Guo Fuzi taught Rong Zhao, what does it have to do with you?" There are so many people in Chongwen Pavilion, why are you the only one who stands up to help Guo Yi? ”

"That Rong Zhaoqiang is still aggressive, and Guo Fuzi was so angry with him that he almost fainted." Zhao Jun said angrily.

"What will happen if Guo Yi faints?" Tang asked again.

Zhao Jun didn't know how to answer, after all, he was only seven years old, and he couldn't figure out many things, but he just followed the adults.

"Why didn't you say that?" Tang asked with a cold face.

"My son really doesn't know, so he doesn't know what to say." Zhao Jun replied.

"Think for yourself, think as a bystander." Tang frowned and guided.

"I think Guo Fuzi will be angry."

"What if you're angry?" Tang asked again.

"I'll go to Xiao Shangshu."

"And then?"

"Xiao Shangshu is King Rui's uncle, Rong Zhao is King Rui's person, and Xiao Shangshu will most likely protect Rong Zhao."

"Go on."

"When Xiao Shangshu shields Rong Zhao, his father or the prime minister will have a chance to impeach him."

"Well, while things won't necessarily go the way you say, there's some truth to your guesses. Now let's go back to the beginning, you said that Guo Fuzi was about to faint with anger from Rong Zhao. So let's make a hypothesis, what if Guo Fuzi is really so angry that he faints? What will happen? ”

"That would have been much worse." Zhao Jun frowned and said.

"For whom?"

Zhao Jun was stunned, Fang looked up at Tang's eyes and said, "What Mother said is that if Guo Fuzi is really so angry that Rong Zhao faints, then things will be worse for Rong Zhao, and ...... for us."

"Yes!" Tang got up and interrupted his son's words and walked in front of him, raised his hand and touched the top of his head and said, "Silly boy, if you are dedicated to Guo Yi, then Guo Yi is not our person and will naturally not be grateful, and you just stood up and shouted to Rong Zhao in vain." What is the use of such a blatant expression of hostility towards him at such a time? Not only will it not benefit your father in the slightest for our royal house, but it will cause a lot of inconvenience. So your father told you to think about it here behind closed doors tonight, do you still feel wronged? ”

"My son is not aggrieved." Zhao Jun hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Well, think about it here." After Tang finished speaking, she turned around and left, she didn't bring food for her son when she came, and she didn't show a trace of comfort when she left.

Seven-year-old Zhao Jun looked at his mother's departing back, his face was lonely for a while, but after a while, he pursed the corners of his lips and looked firm.

*

On the same night, Rong Yue in Ningcui Palace was also very anxious.

It just so happened that the emperor didn't come to Ningcui Palace that night, so Rong Yue called Chen Cunxiao to him and asked him carefully about the ins and outs of this matter.

Chen Cunxiao is now the chief eunuch of Ningcui Palace, Concubine Yue is favored again, in this high and low harem, he is now a bit of a status, a group of people behind him will send all kinds of news to his ears, of course, Chen Gonggong now has a house outside the palace, and occasionally out of the palace, he will also look at the two girls who run to his own house to eat a meal and drink tea, and tease the two girls who are raised in the house.

It's really a coincidence, on the day of the accident in the Guozijian, Chen Cunxiao just found an excuse to come out of the palace and plan to go loose in his small courtyard, so he met King Rui's carriage hurriedly passing in front of him, at that time Chen Cunxiao also said that something happened to King Rui's mansion, how did King Rui's carriage run with the frightened Sa Huan'er, so he inquired and just figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

Is this worth it? At that moment, Chen Cunxiao didn't go to the house, and immediately went back to the palace.

However, it is unfortunate that when he came back, Concubine Yue was summoned by the emperor to serve in the Qianyuan Palace, not in the Ningcui Palace. So Concubine De thought of a way to invite the emperor to Guanju Palace, Concubine Yue had to come back, Chen Cunxiao told her about the matter, and Concubine Xian came to the door, I don't know what Concubine Xian's purpose was, she actually sat in Ningcui Palace for most of the hour, and didn't say anything important, just sat here while drinking tea and sneered at Concubine Yue and Jingxi Houfu, with thorns in and out of her words, but she didn't fall out with Rong Yue with her fire in her hands. Rong Yue was so anxious that she couldn't wait to splash hot tea on Concubine Xian's face, but reason didn't allow her to do that, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it. Seeing that it was dark and dinner was about to be served, Rong Yue coldly told Lu Yun to go to the kitchen to spread the word to Concubine Xian for dinner, and Concubine Xian got up to say goodbye with a smug look on her face.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?!" Rong Yue asked Chen Cunxiao anxiously.

Chen Cunxiao only then said what he inquired about, and after talking about it in detail, Fang Chang sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to the prince here!" At that time, the slave saw the carriage of the Rui Palace's mansion running in the direction of the palace like crazy, and he must have been very anxious. ”

"Then did you send someone to the Rui Wang's Mansion to inquire?" Rong Yue frowned and asked.

Chen Cunxiao hurriedly said: "The slave has already sent someone to deliver a letter to Concubine De'er, and I think there will be news early in the morning." ”

"Tomorrow morning? So what to do tonight?! Rong Yue hurriedly walked around the house.

"Don't worry, Niangniang, with Lord Rui, there will be nothing wrong with our son. Besides, although the ruler of the country is powerful, it won't be a big deal if you hit your hand three times......" Scarlet Yi persuaded in a low voice.

"Nothing is going to happen? Then why is the carriage of Rui Wangfu running in such a hurry? The people all over the street were driven aside by General Huo, and those who didn't know thought they were going to fight. Chen Cunxiao said, and shook his head again, "It is said that there will be no problems with the three precept rulers, but who knows if there is anything else?" There are a lot of fish and dragons in that kind of place in Guozijian, who doesn't have one? Maybe those people with bad intentions are secretly attacking our prince, right? ”

"Grandpa Chen, are you still finished?" Scarlet glared at Chen Cunxiao dissatisfied.

Chen Cunxiao hurriedly bowed and said: "Niangniang Mingjian, the slave has no alarmist meaning. It's just that I heard that the prince had a conflict with the little prince of Suwangfu before he was beaten, so I guessed if there was anything else we couldn't inquire about. ”

Rong Yue took a deep breath to stabilize her anxious mood and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, but now we still try our best to find out what Zhao'er's current situation is before we can make plans." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Rui and Lord Xiao will definitely stand out for our son." Green Cloud persuaded.

Rong Yue looked at Chen Cunxiao when she heard this, Chen Cunxiao didn't squeak but lowered his head.

"You don't have to say it, this palace understands." Rong Yue sneered sadly, when something really happens, there are very few people in this world who can be relied on, who is Xiao Zhengshi? Who is Zhao Mu? It's just a small thing, if it really happens to a big thing, how can they stand up for their siblings?

"Don't worry, the slave has already arranged for someone to go out, and we will know soon if there is news outside." Chen Cunxiao persuaded.

"Okay, Hongu knows." Rong Yue closed her eyes in frustration, waved her hand and let everyone go out, went to sit down on the couch by herself, rubbed her eyebrows, and silently thought about whether it was right or wrong for the sister and brother to stir into this muddy water when they took Rong Zhao into Beijing? Or is it right or wrong to stand up for Rong Zhao in front of the emperor in order to fight for a breath?

Besides, Concubine Xian didn't rush back to her Guanju Palace when she went out of Ningcui Palace, but walked in the direction of the Zuichun Palace where the concubine lived-ah, by the way, the concubine is not a concubine now, after kneeling for the queen for twelve days in the small Buddha hall, she is already a concubine! The place of residence has also been moved from the small Yutang Pavilion to the Zuichun Palace, just looking west of the Zuichun Palace, across the Jinghua Palace.

It is not easy to go out from Concubine Yue to Concubine Jin, but Concubine Xian just wants to go over and take a turn. Then he met Zhao Mei unexpectedly outside the Drunken Spring Palace.

"Concubine Xian? How did you get back here? Zhao Mei is a little heartless but not stupid, knowing that the most difficult thing to get along with her mother and the queen in this palace is the one in front of her, so her little face was pulled, and the tone of her voice was not good.

"Such a big girl doesn't understand the rules at all, and sure enough, Concubine Jin is stupid and has affected her daughter." Concubine Xian has already torn her face with Queen Zhou, and now she doesn't need to hold it, and she doesn't have a good face for Zhao Mei.

"You! You actually scolded my mother? Now my mother is just like you! Why are you swearing?! Zhao Mei pointed at Concubine Xian and asked angrily.

Concubine Xian sneered: "Since you say so, then this palace also happened to teach you the rules, you say, under this queen, the title of the fourth concubine of Guixian and Virtuous, which one is your mother?" ”

Zhao Mei was suddenly speechless. After the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the rank of the harem was the concubine under the queen, and the concubine was the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the lady concubine. And such as Concubine Yue, although the title of Concubine Jin is also a concubine, it is usually given by the emperor casually, and it is not among the four concubines, so Concubine Yue or Concubine Jin, when they see the four concubines in front of them, they all feel one level shorter.

"Moreover, this palace is also your elder, according to the rules, you should also call this palace a good concubine. You are shouting and drinking in front of the palace like this, it's not that your mother Concubine Jin didn't teach you well, what is it?! Concubine Xian sneered.

Zhao Mei was taught a lesson by Concubine Xian but couldn't refute it, and she couldn't pull down her face to soften, so she held her little face red, and said because of her neck: "You can do whatever you want!" Why bother with so many twists and turns? I can't say it's up to you, life or death is up to you! ”

Seeing Zhao Mei's dead duck's hard mouth, Concubine Xian smiled disdainfully, turned to her big eunuch Li Qingfang and said, "Okay, this palace is also a walk, let's go back." I don't know if Rong Zhao is dead or alive at this time, just now I saw Concubine Yue in a hurry, this palace is really happy! Ha ha...... You say, this little hoof has been dominating the emperor all day long, and now he has finally been punished, right? ”

When Zhao Mei heard this, she immediately ran forward to stop Concubine Xian, and asked anxiously, "Concubine Xian, what did you say?" ”

"What did I say?" Concubine Xian asked Li Qingfang with a puzzled smile.

Li Qingfang bowed down and smiled: "Niangniang didn't say anything, and the slave didn't hear it." ”

"Did you hear that?" Concubine Xian asked Zhao Mei with a mysterious smile.

"I, I heard you say that you don't know if Rong Zhao is dead or alive...... Tell me quickly, what's wrong with Rong Zhao? ”

"Did Hongu say that?" Concubine Xian asked Li Qingfang again.

"The minions didn't hear anything." Li Qingfang bowed again.

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows at Zhao Mu, smiled, and said coldly: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way of this palace." ”

"Concubine Xian Niangniang...... Zhao Mei was still regretting that she hadn't talked to Concubine Xian properly just now, but Concubine Xian had already raised her hand to push her away and walked away.

Zhao Mu stood in place for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and ran towards Ningcui Palace.

Rong Yue was annoyed, but when she saw Zhao Mei coming to make trouble again, she sent her out under the pretext of being uncomfortable, Zhao Mei didn't know what to do for a while, and after leaving the door of the apse of Ningcui Palace, she quietly took off a gold bracelet inlaid with ruby on her wrist and stuffed it to a little eunuch in Ningcui Palace, and pulled him anxiously and asked, "Have you heard about Rong Shizi?" ”

"I heard that I was beaten by the Taifu in the Guozi Prison." The little eunuch said truthfully.

"Beaten by Taifu?" Zhao Mei thought to herself, how hard can Taifu fight, Concubine Xian actually said that she was dead or alive? So he asked, "Did you really hear that?" Was he beaten by Taifu or was there something else? ”

"I don't know the specific minions, but Concubine Yue was so anxious that she didn't even pass on dinner, and Gonggong Chen also went out in a hurry, which is definitely not a trivial matter."

After hearing these words, Zhao Mei knew in her heart, Concubine Xian said that she didn't know whether Rong Zhao was dead or alive now, Concubine Yue was too lazy to deal with herself, and she didn't even pass on dinner, and Chen Cunxiao was in a hurry to go out to hear the news at this time, which showed that something big happened to Rong Zhao!

Zhao Mei wanted to go out of the palace to see Rong Zhao at that time, but she was a princess, not a eunuch, and she would definitely not be able to get out at this time, but she also knew that the queen mother and her mother did not want to see Rong Zhao, and asking them for help was tantamount to killing herself. After nothing and no wisdom, Zhao Mei has now begun to learn to fight with the two people closest to her.

Back in the Zuichun Palace, Zhao Mei went to see Concubine Jin first, and after a few random words, she said that she was not very comfortable and went back to her room to sleep first. Concubine Jin has not been in good spirits since she was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall by the queen and kneeled out, she is not enthusiastic about anything, she is cowardly all day long, and she doesn't even go to the queen's palace to ask for peace, and she is becoming more and more lax about her daughter's affairs, at least she didn't find out Zhao Mei's inappropriateness at this time.

Almost didn't sleep all night, Zhao Mei got up early the next morning and went to the queen's palace to ask for peace, and said that the dream she had last night was not good, and she wanted to go to Qingfeng Temple to ask for a signature. Queen Zhou did not doubt that he agreed, and instructed Zhao Wankang to pick a few safe people to follow.

Zhao Mei Shun went out of the palace and turned a corner halfway down, Zhao Wankang knew that the queen had a dislike with Concubine Jin and didn't like Princess Anping very much, so he casually picked a few guards to follow Zhao Mei out of the palace, so Zhao Mei turned around halfway and didn't go to Qingfeng Temple, these guards didn't stop them, and when they saw that they arrived at the Rui Wangfu, they didn't say much, only relying on Zhao Mei's personal palace maid to come forward and knock on the door.

When the people in Rui Wang's Mansion saw that Princess Anping was coming, they suddenly felt a headache, but they couldn't stop it, and it was not easy to stop it, so they had to invite people into the front hall and hurriedly go in to inform Zhao Mu that they knew.

Zhao Mu had long heard Mama Song say that Zhao Mei had come to the house to make trouble when she was sick before, and she had always remembered that this account had not had a chance to be calculated, and today when she heard that she was here again, she smiled faintly and said, "Please Princess Anping come to Xiuyuan Hall to see this king." ”

Zhao Mei followed the people of the palace out of the front hall and made a few detours to Xiuyuan Hall to see Zhao Mu, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was originally reasonable, but now they meet is very different from before. After a simple greeting, Zhao Mu didn't say a word, just leaned on the couch with a book and flipped it silently, treating Zhao Mei as transparent.

Zhao Mei waited anxiously for a while and saw that Zhao Mu didn't take care of himself at all, but fortunately he made it clear: "Brother Sanhuang, I'll go and see Rong Zhao." Hearing that he was sick, Concubine Yue was very anxious. ”

"Oh? Sister Anping is Concubine Yue's messenger today? Zhao Mu's eyelids didn't flirt, he just turned a page of the book.

Zhao Mei became a little weak-hearted, and said hesitantly: "No, I just saw Concubine Yue Niangniang yesterday and saw that she was in a hurry, so I thought about coming to see what was going on." ”

"If this king remembers correctly, Sister Anping has been very fond of running to my palace since this king got sick last year, and she came to visit the doctor twice in three days, and she was really enthusiastic." Zhao Mu's eyes never left the pages of the book when he spoke, as if he was chatting, but the kind of careless slackness and impatience that even a rough girl like Zhao Mei could see.

"Third Emperor Brother, I'm really worried about Rong Zhao, I'll just take a look, okay?" Zhao Mei changed to a pleading tone.

"He's recuperating from his illness, and it's not fit to be a guest. I'll take you to it later. Zhao Mu said.

Zhao Mei shook his lips and asked unwillingly, "Third Emperor Brother, what the hell is going on?" I only heard Concubine Xian say that I don't know whether to live or die or what, I haven't slept well all night, so you can tell me the truth, okay? ”

"What do you do when a girl doesn't stay in the palace for a long time, but cares about these things? Be careful, the father knows and is angry. Zhao Mu threw out a warning lightly.

Zhao Mei's heart shrank, and he hurriedly begged: "Brother Huang, don't tell your father." I was just...... I just really care about Rong Zhao, really! I'm hiding it from my mother when I come back here. ”

"Oh? So who did you come here on your behest? Zhao Mu put away the book in his hand and looked up at Zhao Mei.

Zhao Mei's thoughts suddenly emptied under Zhao Mu's gaze, and he shook his head for a long time before he shook his head and said, "There is no one's edict anymore, it's just ...... It's just that the queen mother is more concerned about the body of the royal brother. ”

"Huh." Zhao Mu sneered, unfolded the book in his hand and began to look.

"Brother Huang, just let me take a look." Zhao Mei begged again.

"Let's go." Zhao Mu has already issued an expulsion order, even if there is no Queen Zhou, there are no conspiracies, just Zhao Mei's enthusiasm for Rong Zhao and this kind of door-to-door confession, Zhao Mu will not let her see - some things must be nipped in the bud.
