On the second day, Zhao Xiu went to the palace of Guangping in a carriage alone, and first asked the king of Guangping to say goodbye.

King Guangping's previous illness has almost dissipated, and it can be seen that he has been recuperating well recently, but his face is still a little pale, but his mood has obviously improved a lot. When talking to Zhao Xiu, his tone was relaxed and calm, and with a little cordiality, he greeted Zhang and Zhao Wei, and mentioned that Zhao Wei was involved a few days ago, and asked Zhao Xiu to go back to comfort his family, and he didn't have to take it to heart.

Most of the imperial history in the court is still the person who was used by the emperor of Daxing during his reign, and has developed bad habits, good fame, always loves to stare at those who have a loud name and noble status, but in fact have a good temper or have no real power. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, he will definitely be beaten for such a person. The imperial court raises the imperial history, not to let them focus on the trivial problems of the big people, but to ask them to supervise the hundred officials and expose the skin of corrupt officials.

When Zhao Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the recent fact that there was also a royal history in the court. It is precisely because of the imperial history that he made friends with foreign officials, so the mourning hall of the Guangping Palace, which was once a guest, has returned to a deserted state, only a little stronger than the days when the princess had just died. It seems that King Guangping was not affected by this incident, and he did not complain much about the princess. Speaking of which, those who have the heart to mourn have already come, and the rest of them, if you don't know the princess and princess at all, what does it matter if you come or not?

In fact, Zhao Xiu sometimes can't help but want to vomit in his heart, those people's attitude of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is so obvious, do you think that if you come to the door to offer condolences, King Guangping will remember this favor? If you want to sell well, you have to be a little sincere, right? The new emperor still takes good care of his brother, and the queen mother is even more distressed about her eldest son and grandson. Can King Quang Binh know who they are? They were afraid to be like this. With this snobbish face, if you meet a nobleman with a bad temper, you will have a grudge. The king of Guangping doesn't care about them, and the palace doesn't care about them, and they are lucky.

Zhao Xiu didn't want to mention this kind of thing, and remembered that his brother was involved, so he said to King Guangping: "The emperor sent someone to give my brother something, and also asked my brother not to care about being involved." My brother was going to defend himself, but now it's easier. The emperor trusted our family so much, and my grandmother, brother and I were all very relieved. ”

King Guangping smiled slightly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, no one will disbelieve you." Not to mention the merits of your father-in-law, your ancestors and grandchildren have also saved the emperor, and it is rare that you are not proud of your achievements, and you never ask for any reward, and what you get now should have been obtained by you. The emperor mentioned to me before, I feel very sorry for you, I want to be gracious, but I don't know what to reward, I can only wait for your brother to grow up and become an official. ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly smiled: "My brother is also thinking about serving the emperor in the future, although he has taken the title, he still studies hard every day, how can he come back with a meritorious service to prove himself." In addition to reading, he also practiced boxing and riding and archery every day, saying that he wanted to be a man of all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and he could do it no matter what the emperor told him in the future. ”

King Guangping smiled and nodded: "This is very good, let him work hard, just don't get tired of your body, and don't stick to fame, if you can pass the test, it will naturally be the best, and it is nothing if you don't pass the test." This dynasty is a noble officer, and there are other exams for them to test, and those who can be tested have real talents and hard work, so he doesn't have to push himself too hard. ”

Zhao Xiu agreed, thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "When the imperial history visited my brother before, the emperor seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he also knew the current situation of Zhao Jue's family well. Our family inquired, saying that the prince had spoken to the emperor when he entered the palace, and his grandmother and brother said that this time it was really thanks to the prince, and we must thank him. ”

King Guangping knew about this earlier, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of a few words, and he also happened to know it, and our two families have always been good friends, so he told the emperor." At that time, I was just chatting a few words, and I was surprised that Zhao Niu still had a friendship with Feng Yushi's wife, how did I know that Feng Yushi would really go to this book? Lao Feng is also a fool, in vain he used to have a reputation for upright Gengjie in the local area, and he has been abolished for a few years in the dynasty. If this beating fails to wake him up, I'm afraid he should be put on the spot next year. With such a temperament, instead of letting him be a royal history, it is better for An An to be a magistrate. ”

Zhao Xiu didn't care about Feng Yushi's affairs, she solemnly said to King Guangping: "This time I really want to thank the prince." ”

King Guangping smiled: "If you do a little favor, your family will solemnly thank you, at the end of last year, your ancestor saved his life, how can I thank him?" With the affection of our two families, there is no need to pay attention to these clichés. Go back and tell the old lady, don't say thank you, and don't give any thanks, otherwise I will only be separated from your family and our royal family. After a pause, he smiled deeper: "But between you children, I don't bother to care so much." ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly said: "Yes, I won't mention those false courtesies again." Anyway, the relationship between the prince and the prince will be firmly remembered by the people of our family. ”

At this time, Gao Zhen rushed over. He had already gotten the news, but he was checking accounts with the chief manager and the people in the bookkeeper, and the stakes were so important that he couldn't get out of it for a while, so he could only delay coming until now. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Xiu, but his face was silent, and he came to greet his father first. Zhao Xiu got up with a smile, and when he had saluted, he bowed to him: "I've seen the son." Gao Zhen's face sank, and he looked at her expressionlessly: "What do you call me?" Zhao Xiu suddenly remembered what he had said, and hurriedly smiled and saluted: "I said it wrong, I should call Brother Zhen." Gao Zhen's face softened a little.

Although King Guangping couldn't see his son's face, the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared when he listened to the movement. He asked Gao Zhen: "Are the accounts finished?" ”

Gao Zhen hurriedly replied: "Yes, it has been finished, and there are more than 20 mistakes, of different sizes." The son has already handed over to the manager, so he should remember these mistakes clearly first, so that he does not need to alarm others. Wait for the mother concubine to finish the big thing, and then let the people in charge of all places come to confess the guilt, who is in charge of the mistakes in the small accounts, they are allowed to explain clearly, the small mistakes are compensated, and the big mistakes are removed and sent to Zhuangzi. If someone is not clear about the explanation, they will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disposal. He paused, and pulled out a roll of white paper from his sleeve: "Father, do you want to hear who is wrong?" ”

King Guangping waved his hand: "I haven't been at home for a long time, since I said that I will leave the matter to you, I will do it to you." I don't care who makes the mistake, no matter how decent and senior he is, he can't surpass me, the master of the palace. Sooner or later, the palace will be handed over to you, and now it is just an experience, and you can dispose of it as you like. If something goes wrong, your father will carry it for you. ”

Gao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and responded solemnly.

The king of Guangping got up and called the attendants who were waiting for the orders outside the door to come over: "I am also tired, go back and rest." Sister Xiu'er came to see me today, it's hard for her to think about me, you help me say hello, don't slack off, don't scold, go back and send people back, you know? Gao Zhen hurriedly agreed.

Zhao Xiu got up and sent King Guangping away with Gao Zhen, and then asked him with some concern: "The prince looks good, why is he still so easily tired?" Is there something wrong with your body? ”

Gao Zhen glanced at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, "My father's health is fine. ”

Zhao Xiu looked at him with wide eyes: "Then why does he feel tired and need to rest every time he only speaks for a while?" ”

Gao Zhen touched his nose and decided to talk about it: "Why did you suddenly come here today?" Could it be that I have made my thank-you gift? ”

reminded Zhao Xiu in one sentence: "It's done, do you want to take a look first?" I haven't measured your size, and I don't know if it fits. ”

Gao Zhen hurriedly said: "Go to my yard and see, there are people here and there, and it's not easy to talk." ”

Zhao Xiu looked puzzled, although this is the main courtyard, and there are a few people standing in the courtyard, but it has not yet reached the point where people come and go? Why is it so hard to speak? However, Gao Zhen wanted to entertain her to his courtyard, and she didn't think anything of it, so she happily followed.

Gao Zhen lives in the back of Wangfu East Road, one person occupies a three-entry courtyard, the first one is the place where he reads and learns martial arts to entertain guests, although it is not as spacious as the courtyard of the old county prince in the Hou Mansion, not enough to run a horse, but it is enough to practice a knife and gun and shoot an arrow. The second entrance is his personal residence, and Zhao Xiu is naturally inconvenient to enter. In the backyard of Sanjin, she could only see a two-story building from a distance, and she didn't know about the rest.

Gao Zhen took her to the first courtyard. In addition to the five rooms and one east and west wings in the courtyard of this entry, the front is a hall, and there are three rooms on the left and right of the hall, and Zhao Xiu went to the east house. The three tall and spacious rooms are separated by a blue gauze cupboard, and the door is hung with delicate bamboo curtains, the outer room is the place where the prince entertains foreign guests, receives subordinates and daily directors, the second room is the study, and the end room is a place for a lunch break.

Gao Zhen took Zhao Xiu straight into the second room, there is a big kang near the window here, there are soft mats on the kang, there are cabinets and tables, and there are several large pillows on the side, which must be very comfortable to lean on. There are bookshelves on the opposite side of the kang, and a window is open in the middle of the back wall. Now on a hot day, the windows on the north and south sides are opened, just ventilated, and it is very cool to sit and lie down in this room.

Gao Zhen also asked people to place an ice basin in the corner of the house, and then put a mechanism fan behind the ice basin, which was automatically fanned unhurriedly, and the cool air of the ice basin was directly fanned in the direction of the big kang. Zhao Xiu sat down on the side of the kang and immediately felt a cool breeze. Gao Zhen also used the purple gold incense burner under the window to light the incense, I don't know which spice is put in, with a slight mint aroma, with the cool breeze, people smell only feel fresh and pleasant. Zhao Xiu suddenly felt that the heat was gone, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Zhen, you really can enjoy it." ”

Gao Zhen covered the incense burner and turned back to her and smiled.

After Zhao Xiu sighed, he opened the small bag he brought and took out the carefully sewn Ge Yi: "Can you give it a try?" You've grown taller, and I'm not sure if I'm the right size. ”

Gao Zhen took Ge Yi, looked at it carefully, and found that the stitches were fine, the color was also very suitable, and the smile on his face deepened: "It took so many days to do it well, and you have worked hard." ”

Zhao Xiu laughed and said: "It didn't take so much time, I made one for my brother first, and then made yours, and it probably took three or four days before and after." After finishing speaking, she suddenly felt a chill on her body, and couldn't help but wonder, even if there was an ice basin, this weather shouldn't make people feel cold?

Gao Zhen asked expressionlessly, "Did Brother Wei also ask you to make clothes?" ”

Zhao Xiu blinked: "Of course my brother didn't specifically ask me to do it, but I usually help him make a few pieces occasionally." This is the first time I have used fine arrowroot to make clothes, I am not sure, I am afraid that it will not be done well, you don't like it, so I specially took my brother to practice it, and I felt that the craft was passed, so I dared to do your one. ”

Gao Zhen's face softened instantly, and he looked at the clothes carefully, and said with a slight smile: "Good job, your craftsmanship has passed, I will wear it tomorrow." ”

Zhao Xiu said a little embarrassedly: "Although it's okay, but you may wear it a little too wide, just wear it at home, don't wear it out, make people laugh carefully." ”

Gao Zhen carefully put away his clothes and glanced at her: "Long-winded." ”RS
