Gao Zhen didn't know that someone had something different about his sweetheart. He is now living in the palace, and together with his father King Guangping, he accompanies the Queen Mother and the Emperor to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. According to the old practice, it will not be delayed until two days after the festival before leaving the palace. Today, the emperor gave Jiannan Marquis Mansion a lot of face, and the news also reached his ears. He was happy for the Zhao family in his heart, so he thought about it, and when he returned to the palace, he immediately went to Jiannanhou Mansion to congratulate him.

Incidentally...... See the sister of the Zhao family again.

King Guangping also knows what is on his mind, although he is secretly funny, he still hopes that his son's wish will come true. He pondered that Chongyang had passed, and there was nothing to do in the palace, and it would be boring to stay for a long time, and he had to listen to the emperor's complaints about the queen all day long, or listen to the emperor get angry with those recitals that persuaded him to take a concubine. King Guangping wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, and when he told Gao Zhen, Gao Zhen naturally raised his hands in favor. The father and son made an appointment and told the Queen Mother to go at dinner. The difficulties of their father and son in the palace, the Queen Mother also understands. As long as the Queen Mother nods, they will be able to go home early tomorrow.

Who knew that when I arrived at Cining Palace before dinner, the Queen Mother was talking to the eldest son and the second son. Maybe she listened to Gao Zhen's persuasion into her ears, or she figured it out, the Queen Mother is now very kind to the two princes, and she has to see each other almost every day, changing her cold attitude in the past. Even the princess, she would occasionally ask the nurse to bring her over to take a look, and she often cared about her daily life. Because of this, even if the queen had no intention of taking care of the princess, the princess came over without illness or pain.

The two princes were present, and King Guangping and Gao Zhen had no choice but to salute each other first. A few words of hustle and bustle, but some words are inconvenient to say directly. King Quang Binh thought that he would have dinner in a while. The princes will naturally retire first, and then what can the mother and son say to each other? I'm not in a hurry.

But when the Queen Mother saw her eldest son coming, she was in a hurry to see him, but it was not good to say this matter in front of Gao Zhen. Therefore, the Queen Mother pointed casually: "Dinner will arrive in a while, Zhen'er will accompany your two younger brothers to play in the Xinuan Pavilion." The mourning family has something to discuss with your father. ”

Gao Zhen was a little surprised, what could the Queen Mother do, it was inconvenient to say it in front of him? This kind of thing is rare. But on second thought. He also suspected that the Queen Mother probably wanted to talk to his father about the continuation of the string, and took into account his feelings, so he did not want him to listen in front of him. Gao Zhen smiled lightly. responded neatly, and took the two princes into the Xinuan Pavilion.

Xinuan Pavilion is the place where the Queen Mother usually relaxes and recreation, there is a big kang by the window in the south, and there are all kinds of chess sets, double land, nine consecutive rings, Kong Ming locks, needlework, patterns, pen and ink or play books and the like. There are women playing. There are also boys playing. Gao Zhen and the two princes are both the grandsons of the Queen Mother, and they come over a lot on weekdays, so they are very familiar with each other. The second son of the emperor did not wait for the palace people to make a move, so he climbed onto the kang by himself, opened the drawer in the upper left corner of the kang cabinet, took out two extremely delicate Kong Ming locks, left one that he had not played, and handed one to the eldest son of the emperor. Glancing at Gao Zhen, he hesitated.

The emperor's eldest son's face was slightly red. probably felt that his younger brother was too unkind, so he helped him round the conversation: "Does Brother Zhen want to play chess?" Shall I accompany you? ”

Gao Zhen smiled and sat down on the other side of the kang table, and responded lightly: "Okay." It's been a long time since I've played chess with Dalang. ”

The eldest son of the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out the Go chessboard and chess pieces, Gao Zhen casually cleaned up the things on the kang table, and the two cousins began to play against each other, leaving the second son of the emperor aside. His little face turned red, he held a Kong Ming lock in his hand for a moment, and then made an awkward mistake, so he simply ignored the two of them, and sat on the long couch under the north wall to entertain himself.

The second son of the emperor was influenced by the queen in the past and had no good impression of Gao Zhen. Although the queen was reprimanded by the emperor before, the second son of the emperor also knew about the matter, and it was clear that his mother had made a mistake, and he really didn't do anything with the emperor's uncle and cousin. But the impression that has long been inherent is not so easy to twist. He is different from the eldest son of the emperor. Although the eldest son of the emperor also listened to a lot of instigation from the queen, he was the same age as Gao Zhen, and he spent more time together since he was a child. The queen made a mistake, which made King Guangping and Gao Zhen angry, and the eldest son of the emperor felt that he couldn't stand the emperor's uncle and cousin. Then there was Gao Zhen in front of the emperor for him to make a statement, he was very grateful to Gao Zhen, and he felt close when he met, and there was no estrangement in his heart.

It is precisely because the eldest son of the emperor is close to Gao Zhen that the two of them are playing chess today, and while they are playing, he can't help but talk to Gao Zhen about his troubles: "I haven't seen my mother for three or four days, and my father doesn't mention it, and I don't dare to say it." When I sent my subordinates to see my mother, I heard that my mother had not eaten well and taken medicine recently, and she just sat in front of the Buddha every day, and her spirit became worse and worse. I was worried, I wanted to visit her with my brother, and I was afraid that my father would be angry. ”

Gao Zhen didn't have any good feelings for the queen in his heart, just to give the emperor's eldest son face: "What's this?" The queen said that she was sick, but in fact, she was just grounded, and there was nothing bad about her, so she shouldn't have taken medicine, and it was not good to take it. Now that the queen has just been hit, she can't think about it for a while, so she will be listless, and it won't be long before she cheers up. If Da Lang really misses the queen, just mention it to the emperor. No matter what, the emperor will not be angry because his son is filial. ”

The emperor's eldest son's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Zhen is right." I didn't mention anything else, I just said that I wanted to see my mother. He was still a little embarrassed: "Originally, I wanted to ask the imperial grandmother to help me speak, but I told the imperial grandmother, but the imperial grandmother didn't agree, but just asked me to drink tea and eat snacks with my younger brother." I was at a loss for myself, and I was getting more and more scared. ”

Gao Zhen thought to himself, the Queen Mother won't do much about this. Now it is clear that the emperor is angry with the queen, but the queen refuses to sincerely admit her mistake and make amends, even if she says something to make amends, she still feels very wronged in her heart. The more she was like this, the more the emperor refused to forgive her, and the couple was competing. Why should the Queen Mother meddle in the affairs of their husband and wife? Besides, in her old man's heart, most of them are also very angry with the queen's daughter-in-law. If the emperor forgives the queen, her mother-in-law will have to act like a generous elder. The Emperor did not speak. She won't let the queen have too much fun.

Gao Zhen glanced at the emperor's eldest son, thinking that it would be better to dig a pit for the emperor and queen by the way, so he lowered his voice. said to him with a sincere face: "Da Lang, I'll be honest with you, don't be angry when you hear it." The imperial grandmother will not care about this matter, and you know what the queen has done before. Although the emperor's grandmother was generous, there was no real accident on the Jiang family's side, but the queen cried. withered, but didn't make serious amends to the imperial grandmother, what do you think the imperial grandmother will think? But the queen handed over a ladder. The emperor's grandmother came down on the slope, her face was gone, her anger was smooth, and she also gave an explanation to the Jiang family. The two houses are naturally in harmony. But if the queen doesn't make a gesture first. The imperial grandmother helped her intercede, and in the future, the queen will find the Jiang family again, wouldn't she slap the imperial grandmother in the face? At that time, the imperial grandmother will not be able to explain in front of her mother's family. ”

The emperor's eldest son's face changed, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the truth. As soon as he thought about it, his heart was half discouraged. The queen had been sick for some time, and although he had seen her less often, he could still see her every three or five days. It's just that there are always palace people by your side when you meet. He also persuaded the empress to apologize to the queen mother and the emperor. But the queen was discouraged every time, and said: "It's useless, I know that I am useless, and now it's just a hard time." Sooner or later, a fresh beauty will enter the palace, and who will remember me then? The eldest son of the emperor was so anxious that he stomped his feet. If the queen could understand a little, she would not still be trapped in Kunning Palace by now.

Gao Zhen smiled and picked up a piece and landed on the chessboard: "Actually, this matter still depends on the emperor's meaning." If the imperial grandmother hadn't been for the emperor's face, would she have made the mother's family show goodwill to the queen first? It's a pity that the queen thought about it and made things more stiff, and she didn't take the imperial grandmother and the emperor seriously. The emperor is annoyed, he also needs someone to give him a ladder to step down. If he forgives the queen and then pulls the queen to compensate the imperial grandmother, will the imperial grandmother still give them a look? Instead of grinding the emperor's grandmother here, it is better to think of working the emperor. The emperor takes a fancy to you the most, after all, you are his eldest son, and you will be officially established as a prince in a few days. The prince of the country is not comparable to ordinary princes. ”

The eldest son of the emperor was convinced, and his expression became resolute, and he decided to go to his father and the emperor to intercede for his mother from tomorrow until his father was willing to forgive his mother. But when the queen mother is there, he also wants to send a message in private, or meet him quietly. In any case, the queen mother must be persuaded to give in. If the queen mother is not convinced, it is useless for him to spend more time in front of the emperor's grandmother and father. When the queen mother passes this level, he will definitely watch the queen mother closely and not let her cause any more trouble......

Gao Zhen looked at the expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

He was secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't know that his father was also dug a pit by the Queen Mother in the East Room.

The Queen Mother directly told King Guangping that she already knew that Gao Zhen was interested in the daughter of the Marquis of Jiannan. The little girl is also very good, with a decent family background, beautiful appearance, knowledgeable and courteous, healthy, a housekeeper who is familiar with each other, and Gao Zhen has been familiar with each other since childhood, and is loyal to the monarch and the emperor's party, and she is also a hero from the dragon, this condition is really nothing to pick. The Queen Mother was very satisfied, but she had some opinions about Zhao Xiu's age.

Gao Zhen will be sixteen years old in the next year, and it is already time to marry a wife. After marrying a daughter-in-law and going home, Guangping Wangfu will have a housewife, and there is no need to be as messy as before, and the prince needs to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt. But at Zhao Xiu's age, he can't get married in three years, what will the palace do in these three years? The Queen Mother really doesn't want her son and grandson to suffer anymore.

If Zhao Xiu is allowed to get married first, and wait for two years before the round, it is not impossible. The problem is that the population of Jiannan Hou Mansion is small, and the old lady Zhang has not been at home for several years, if Zhao Xiu marries and Zhao Wei does not marry a wife, who will take over the gift? Besides, the elder brother did not marry his sister-in-law, and the younger sister married first, which is not suitable for the reversal of the elder and the younger. Even when Zhao Xiu got married, there was no one in the family to take care of it, so he couldn't ask the little girl to go out, and he had to arrange his dowry and etiquette in person, right?

So the queen mother directly gave a death order to King Guangping: he must continue the string, if he is not willing to marry again, then first accept a side concubine with a better background, and then support the palace first. In this way, when the princess enters the door in the future, there will be someone who can handle the wedding.

King Quang Binh's face was already paralyzed there. (To be continued......)
