Zhao Wei sent Gao Zhen away, and while worried, he returned to his grandmother Zhang's yard.

Zhang is talking to Zhao Xiu about the affairs of the Guangping Palace: "It seems that the prince and the prince will definitely enter the palace to celebrate the anniversary of the first emperor, and the princess's anniversary is not yet known how to do it. But now the palace has added a new long history, which is stronger than last year. It's just the princess's anniversary sacrifice, and the prince and the prince can't take time out to cook it themselves, which inevitably looks a little bleak. ”

Zhao Xiu also thinks so, but that is also a helpless thing. Who told Princess Zhong that she died on the same day as the first emperor? All the ceremonies will clash with the first emperor, and the royal family will of course follow the first emperor first. And King Guangping can't just leave his deceased father alone for his deceased wife, and Gao Zhen can't also be absent from his grandfather's sacrifice for the sake of his biological mother, which is really an unsolvable problem.

She mentioned a proposal to Zhang: "Although the palace has a chief manager and a long history, there is no female dependant who can be on the stage." Last year, before my grandmother arrived in the capital, my granddaughter went to the palace every day to sit and help greet the female guests who came to worship. Although the granddaughter didn't have anything wrong, strictly speaking, it was a bit unjustifiable. It's just that at that time, everyone only cared about the funeral of the first emperor, and because of the bad things of the Zhong family, many people sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and they didn't even dare to give incense to the princess, so no one paid attention to it, so let the granddaughter pass the test. It certainly can't be like this again this year, or ...... Grandmother stepped in to help, right? Even if you are not in charge of reception, it is good to help coordinate the staff and manage the general affairs to see if there are any omissions. Our family has received great favor from the prince, and it is also appropriate to help a little. ”

Zhang thought for a moment: "If there is really something I can help." I'm naturally willing to contribute, but I still have to see how the palace arranges. If I need a foreign woman to enter the palace and stand on the court, I can't get out. She paused. sighed, "Actually, even if I don't need to enter the palace, I won't be able to help in the palace." The princess's anniversary festival must be simple. ”

Zhao Xiu was puzzled: "Why is this?" "The prince has such a deep affection for his wife, and the son of the world also respects his mother very much, how can the ceremony be simple? She asked, "Is it because of the earthquake earlier?" "Because of this. It seems that even the anniversary ceremony of the first emperor is going to cut the budget, and Princess Zhong naturally can't do it too much. Zhao Xiu thinks this reason is quite reasonable.

However, Zhang said: "This is one thing, and the other is because the Queen Mother doesn't like it." After all, the Zhong family participated in the rebellion. Although because of the prince and the prince, the queen mother never angered the princess, but she did not approve of treating the princess too favorably. On the anniversary of the first emperor, the palace and the outside of the palace are naturally mainly dedicated to the first emperor. At this time, it is nothing for the Guangping Royal Mansion to hold a small ceremony at its own time. But if the labor teacher mobilizes the crowd and makes all the officials and relatives in the capital go to worship, the queen mother will definitely be unhappy. ”

Zhao Xiu was surprised: "How come?" Even if the Zhong family is not good, it has nothing to do with the princess, right? The Zhong family still wants to harm the princess's own son, and the princess herself hates it to death. Moreover, after the bad events of the Zhong family, the title of the princess has not been cut, and she should be treated as usual. How could the Queen Mother be annoyed with her? ”

Zhang sighed: "Although the Queen Mother didn't say it explicitly, she listened to her on weekdays. almost never mentioned the princess, and I really have a grudge in my heart. The people around me are also clear. Because our family has a lot of contacts with the palace, when I went to the palace for the first time last year to see the Queen Mother, the palace people who came to lead the way reminded me in private, asking me to mention the princess less. However, the Queen Mother loves the prince and the prince as always, and she has never been estranged because of the princess, but because the prince lost his mother at a young age, the Queen Mother felt more pity for him. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "The Queen Mother was worried that there was no one to take care of the palace and that it could only be taken care of by the prince and the chief manager, and she also asked the foreign wife who entered the palace to see if there was an older and stable and capable girl who could renew the strings for the prince or serve as a side concubine." However, the princess's anniversary is not yet complete, and the prince has to keep his father's filial piety, so I didn't hear the following. But the prince is still so young, he must be remarried, but I see that he still misses the princess very much, and most of them refuse to renew the strings, at most he will accept a side concubine, right? ”

It was the first time Zhao Xiu had heard of this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but be surprised. But if you think about it carefully, King Guangping is only in his thirties now, and he is an older young man in modern times, and it is indeed too difficult for him to remarry for the rest of his life. He is blind and in poor health, and needs to be taken care of in his daily life. He has never taken a concubine, and there is not even a room in the palace, and his son Gao Zhen usually takes care of him with a few henchmen. But Gao Zhen is still young, so he can't always be by his father's side, don't go anywhere, and don't do anything, right? So what should the King of Quang Binh do at that time? Even if he himself doesn't want to, the queen mother, as a loving mother, and the emperor, as a brother who respects him, will definitely think about his future and find him a gentle and attentive companion.

And if this person is a step-concubine or a side concubine, what will Gao Zhen think?

Zhao Xiu immediately began to worry about him. Once he has a stepmother or concubine, not to mention whether the relationship between him and the father and son of King Quang Binh will be affected, the stepmother or concubine may add several brothers to him, who can guarantee that they will not have ambitions for the position of prince of Guangping? In case Hou Tian's little brothers unite with their biological mother and compete with Gao Zhen for the position of the son, it will be too annoying. But if in order for Gao Zhen's position as the son of the world to be as stable as a mountain, it seems too inhumane to ask King Guangping to be a widower for a lifetime. Zhao Xiu's brows were furrowed, and he was so worried.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Wei sighed in his heart and asked, "What is my sister thinking?" It looks like I'm worried. ”

Zhao Xiu said the worry in his heart, and Zhang couldn't help but worry: "Isn't it? It's a real nuisance. But she didn't worry for long, "When the Queen Mother chooses people, she will definitely choose carefully." If you have a bad character and a bad heart, you will never be selected. The prince will not allow this kind of thing to happen in the palace. Why should you worry about them? ”

Zhao Xiu was worried about Gao Zhen, but he was embarrassed to say it at the moment, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Zhao Wei expected her thoughts, and her mood was very complicated. Thinking of what Gao Zhen said, he opened his mouth, closed it again, and when he spoke again, he changed the subject: "Does grandmother really want to go into the palace alone to see the Queen Mother?" I'm afraid it's too hard, right? My sister and I are not at ease either. But if you bring your sister and you're afraid of arousing suspicion, why don't you let me go with my grandmother? It's nothing to do occasionally. ”

Zhao Xiu said: "When Brother Fang went to send off the son. I discussed it with my grandmother. Originally, I wanted to take a car to accompany my grandmother into the imperial city, but my grandmother went to Cining Palace by herself, and I waited outside the palace gate in a carriage. Even if no one goes with my grandmother, it doesn't hurt to have someone arranged by the son to take care of it. But my grandmother said that I wouldn't enter the palace anyway, so what difference did it make if it was me or another girl waiting in the carriage? As long as someone is waiting, if you take a girl, you can take it directly into the palace without any scruples. So I'd rather stay at home and take care of my brother. So that you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and your grandmother can also rest assured when she enters the palace. I thought about it and thought it would work. If you're worried that your grandmother will get heat stroke if she enters the palace alone. Just choose a cooler day to enter the palace, anyway, the queen mother didn't stipulate which day the foreign wife must be promoted. ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "That's fine." When the weather is cool, it's good to go into the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, if you really can't hold on, you don't have to force it. I know what the son persuaded his grandmother to enter the palace for. But I have faith in myself. I hope that I can rely on my own talent to learn and gain fame. As for my career in the future, it depends on my own ability. Neither my grandmother nor my sister had to bother to please anyone for my sake. ”

The three ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhao family chatted about family life, and at the same time, Gao Zhen went out of the door of Jiannanhou Mansion and went back to the palace directly. He first went to report to the emperor. Leaving the palace today, although he was going back to the palace to take care of some urgent business, he also shouldered other missions.

Last year, Laba. He had been to Fang's house, and at that time he got acquainted with Fang Jinqi of the Fang family's descendant branch and Fang Jinju of the side branch. Later, they met two or three more times on different occasions. The two cousins both had the meaning of flattering Gao Zhen, Gao Zhen was indifferent to them, but after knowing what happened to Fang Yishan, he consciously met them a few more times and became more familiar.

Today, there are happy events in the Fang family, and there are naturally more people than usual, if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, contact Fang Yishan, and get Gao Ju's reply, this day is the best time. Gao Zhen led people to guard the intersection of the street where Fang's house was secretly ambushed, and sure enough, he saw a suspicious person coming out of the back door of Fang Yishan's house. He ordered someone to follow him secretly, but he stayed where he was, looking for an opportunity to talk to Fang Jinju and probe his tone. Unexpectedly, I saw their cousins with both faces on their faces, leaving the house and going all the way out of the city. Gao Zhen followed, and saw them go up to a teahouse, ask for a private room, and then quarrel with each other.

It turned out that Fang Yishan's family was late for the banquet today and neglected the concubine, and Fang Jinqi was unhappy. And the main son, Fang Huizhu, was also very angry, so she secretly stabbed Mrs. Fang Si's mother and daughter in public. Fang Er and Fang Niang returned home to complain, letting her brother Fang Jinju know, and she was also angry in her heart. As soon as the two cousins met, they quarreled with each other, and they were afraid that the family would hear and scold, so they made an appointment to go to the outer city to quarrel. Both of them are weak teenagers who have been studying since childhood, and even if they fight, the damage caused is limited. Gao Zhen saw that the two of them moved, so he pretended to meet by chance and separated them.

Then Gao Zhen used the excuse of finding a doctor for them, rubbed some medicine on the bruises on the faces of the two, and took them to a familiar medical hall, but they were separated from two private rooms to deal with them, and got the opportunity to talk alone with the brothers. Gao Zhen guessed that Fang Sanye was originally King Ying's henchman, maybe he found something, but he didn't know what he would do.

He reported this qiē to the emperor, but the emperor smiled slightly: "I know what Fang San is going to do. He took out a folding box, took out a folding box from it and handed it to Gao Zhen: "It's hard for him, he used to be a member of the Zhongshu Society, but I still remember that several officials who had the right to fold and play the music secretly, found one of the secret talks, and forwarded this fold to me." Although I had known what he said in the compromise, I was still very happy that he could have such an awareness and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

Gao Zhen took it and was quite surprised. Fang Sanye not only mentioned in the fold that he had discovered that Fang Yishan had a connection with King Ying's dead soldiers, but also gave a detailed description of all the information he knew about the dead soldiers, including the rumored Zhuangzi where these dead soldiers lived, some of the luggage they had participated in, and also attached a simple portrait of the leader, which he drew according to his own guess according to the appearance of the "little guy" who had a glimpse of Fang Yishan's house. He even vaguely expressed a kind of determination, saying that he was willing to contribute to the capture of these dead soldiers. With his identity, if he is willing to be an undercover agent and find out the plans and whereabouts of those people, it is much more convenient than the emperor sending someone to investigate. You must know that the few people who followed the suspicious person out of the city today have not heard back so far.

Gao Zhen looked up at the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he was also happy. Regardless of whether Fang Sanye's actions could help the imperial court arrest all the traitors, the Fang family's descendants were all saved. If Sister Zhao found out, she would definitely be happy for her friend, right?

The emperor didn't know that his nephew's brain circuit had gone astray, and he still held the folding box and muttered with interest: "Although Gao Ju had no intention of denouncing this group of people, he also politely refused their suggestion. I wonder how these people will respond when they see the letter? Will it be scattered, go away, or ...... Continue to think about getting Gao Ju out? How will Gao Ju plan in the face of the temptation of these people? I really want to know, and I hope he doesn't disappoint me. (To be continued......)
