Chapter 365: Teasing

Looking at Gao Zhen's embarrassed expression, the emperor, who was originally smiling, became more and more surprised: "What? Do you really have a favorite candidate? He couldn't help but smile and turned to King Guangping: "Does the imperial brother know?" ”

King Guangping smiled slightly and did not speak, but this was enough to explain something.

The Emperor's expression became a little strange, but he soon burst out laughing again: "Good! Good! Good! Zhen'er has really grown up now, and she has reached the age of liking little girls. Tell Uncle Huang, which girl do you fancie? Uncle Huang calls the shots for you. ”

Gao Zhen glanced at King Guangping with some hesitation, King Guangping was naturally invisible, so he took a sip of the tea bowl very calmly, waiting for his son to tell the truth and be teased by the emperor's joke. Gao Zhen was very entangled, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

The emperor is willing to call the shots for him, so naturally it couldn't be better. He is very sure that the emperor still has a good impression of the Zhao family, and if he says that he is interested in the daughter of the Zhao family, the emperor will most likely not refuse to marry. It's just that...... Zhao Xiu's age is still younger after all, he has a good impression of such a young girl, will the emperor laugh at him?

The most important thing is that he hasn't asked Zhao Xiu himself what he means. In case the emperor really pointed to marriage, she made a fuss for a while...... In fact, he originally planned to wait for Zhao Xiu to be older and consider marriage, so he first persuaded her to agree to marry him, and then went to ask the queen mother or the emperor for advice. Right now...... It seems a little early.

Gao Zhen looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and King Guangping sat still for a long time, not surprised or angry at his son's words and deeds, and the emperor looked at it. Suddenly there was a guess: "Looking at the appearance of the imperial brother, it seems that Zhen'er has this mind for a day or two?" The royal brother has known for a long time, and he is quite in favor of it? Which daughter is it? Did I know? ”

King Guangping and Gao Zhen nodded in unison. The former also smiled and said, "The emperor not only knows, but also has seen it, and he is very familiar with it." ”

The emperor curled the corners of his mouth: "Could it be...... Is it the Zhao family's girl? ”

King Guangping laughed again, and Gao Zhen suddenly blushed, lowered his head and did not speak.

The Emperor laughed: "I guessed it was her!" Except for her, there is no daughter who is so familiar with Zhen'er. No wonder, I see that Zhen'er treats her very kindly on weekdays. It turns out that there is such a mind. He paused, smiling a little strangely, "Still." When did Zhen'er come up with this idea? When she and her brother accompanied us on a boat north in the month of last year, she was still a stinking little girl, only taller. Could it be that Zhen'er has had thoughts about her since then? That's too early, right? ”

Gao Zhen blushed. said confidently: "My nephew doesn't know what to do sooner or later." In short, liking is liking, and there is no reason to talk about it. ”

The emperor laughed again when he heard this, and asked, "You have such a mind, do you know the Zhao family's girl?" ”

Gao Zhen's eyes began to fly wildly, squeaking: "She hasn't opened up yet...... Maybe you don't know yet, right? ”

In fact, Zhao Xiu knew, but he didn't understand what to respond to. Gao Zhen regarded it as a reserve of his daughter's family, but he was also a little uncertain, would Zhao Xiu just be embarrassed to refuse? But. She'll always say yes. So in front of the emperor, he would rather say for the time being that Zhao Xiu didn't know. That doesn't seem like he's too faceless.

When the emperor heard this, he laughed again: "Who told you to fall in love with such a young girl? How old is she? Eleven? Twelve? ”

This time it was King Guangping who answered: "I am twelve years old, it is the birthday of June, and in a while, I will be thirteen years old." ”

The emperor thought for a while: "It's okay, although it's a little early, but it's almost old enough to say kiss." He couldn't help laughing again, "No wonder every time the Queen Mother talks about Zhen'er's family affairs, Zhen'er, you always talk about it left and right." Although Zhao Jiaxiu's girl has reached the age where she can be said to be close, it is still too early to get married. The Queen Mother is looking forward to you marrying a stable and capable wife as soon as possible, so that she can preside over the palace and feed it. She also mentioned to me that she wanted to find an older one for Zhen'er, so that she could take over the affairs of the palace as soon as she passed the door. Who knows that you have fallen in love with a little girl, and it will take at least another four years to marry someone into the door. No wonder you don't dare to tell the Queen Mother directly. ”

King Guangping couldn't help but laugh while listening: "The queen mother had good intentions, but the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, this kid has long held the mind of the son, and he refused to marry another daughter, so he had to live up to the kindness of the queen mother." Zhen'er didn't dare to talk back to his imperial grandmother, so he could only diverge the conversation every time. I have persuaded him a long time ago, it is not okay to be so vague, what if his imperial grandmother thinks that his little family has no idea and gives him a candidate? If he screws it up, he will not only affect the innocent and unknowing Zhao family girl, but also refute the face of his imperial grandmother. Instead of being embarrassed at that time, it is better to say it early and set the family affairs, which also saves you a lot of long nights. ”

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Brother Huang is right, although Zhen'er is smart, she is indeed a child who is not sensible." He thought for a while, "Okay, the girl of the Zhao family is indeed very good, although she is younger, she is knowledgeable, smart and courageous." At the beginning, the situation was so dangerous, she was a little girl who had never left her grandmother since she was a child, and she only brought a girl, so she dared to follow her brother, break through the encirclement, and send our uncle and nephew back to the capital, which is by no means comparable to ordinary ladies. I originally thought that it would be a pity if such a good girl could not marry into our family? Now that Zhen'er has a plan, it has fulfilled my thoughts, so good. The queen mother, leave it to me. ”

King Guangping smiled, but Gao Zhen was greatly relieved. With the endorsement of the emperor's uncle, is he still afraid that his marriage will not be successful? Although the Queen Mother intends to choose a wife for him, as the only son of the prince of the current dynasty, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to cross the emperor to make decisions about his marriage, and she will definitely ask the emperor in advance. The emperor said that he would make decisions for him and Zhao Xiu, and it was impossible for the queen mother to object.

Of course, Gao Zhen didn't think that was enough. If she can really marry Zhao Xiu as her wife, she will have to live in the big family of the royal family in the future, if she does not get the support and love of the queen mother and queen, I am afraid that life will not be easy. Although Zhao Xiu has the merit of saving the driver, the credit is another thing than marrying a daughter-in-law, he still needs to do a lot of things, and he will never let his future wife pass the door. Bear a qiē pressure on your own.

Looking at Gao Zhenshang's expression of joy and resoluteness, the emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This nephew has indeed grown up. This family business is really good, and he is very satisfied. In fact, because Zhao Xiu and the emperor's eldest son are of the same age, she is the eldest granddaughter of the founding marquis, and she has the merit of supporting the country, she is beautiful, talented and learned, and all the conditions are outstanding. He once thought about choosing Zhao Xiu as his eldest daughter-in-law. Just listen to the queen's tone. seems to be more willing to choose a famous lady with a prominent family background and a prosperous family for the eldest son. Although the Zhao family is not bad, the heirs are a little thin, so he has been hesitating. Now Gao Zhen proposes to marry Zhao Xiu. It helped him a lot. Although the Zhao family is a Hou Mansion and has a high family, it is weak and loyal. Marriage with the Quang Binh royal palace. There is no need to worry about what bad influence the future princess of Guangping will have on King Guangping and Gao Zhen's father and son, and destroy the relationship between the royal brothers. A lesson like the Zhong family's one is enough.

Thinking of this, the emperor said to Gao Zhen again: "The daughter-in-law you picked for yourself is really good, but I have done this for you, and I am afraid that you will not know how to cherish it, and you will mess around and get angry with your daughter-in-law in the future." Let her be wronged. Then it's in vain that I will make a good girl for you. I will test you and tell you to do three things. If you can pass the level. Then I will prepare a grand wedding for you, so that you can marry the Zhao family girl in a beautiful manner. If you can't pass the ......"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Zhen preemptively said: "If the nephew can't pass the test, ask the emperor to only give the nephew a marriage, the wedding or something, it's all up to the palace, and I don't dare to spend the emperor a tael of silver." ”

The emperor was stunned, and then burst out laughing: "You cunning boy......" King Guangping couldn't help laughing.

According to Gao Zhen's statement, no matter whether he can do the three things ordered by the emperor or not, the marriage is a certainty, and the difference is only who pays for the wedding. With the family background of the Guangping Palace, if you want to hold a grand wedding for the prince, can't you come up with the silver? Gao Zhen said this, it was too cunning.

However, the emperor was amused by such a cunning nephew, so he relieved himself: "Well, if you can't pass the test, then I can just give the marriage, and I don't care about everything, and you don't want to have any grand weddings, just do the happy things according to the etiquette of the ordinary rich and noble." However, don't you take my instructions to heart just because I promised to give you a marriage no matter what, don't you want to marry your daughter-in-law in a beautiful way? Jiannanhou only has this one girl, and she looks like a jewel, how can you carry it home at will? ”

Gao Zhen touched his nose, and his heart suddenly became strict. Zhao Wei has never let go of his mouth and said that he is married. Even if the emperor gives him a marriage, he still has to convince this eldest brother, otherwise how will they meet in the future?

Gao Zhen asked the emperor: "What does the emperor want to tell his nephew?" ”

The emperor thought for a moment and smiled: "The first thing is to exterminate the remaining Ying Wang's dead soldiers. I see that you just talked eloquently, and it seems that you are quite decent, so I will simply leave this matter to you. Everyone is under your command, and you can only open your mouth as many people, things, and forces as you want. I don't care about the process, just the result. ”

Gao Zhen paused slightly, then clasped his fists and saluted: "The minister's order!" ”

A trace of worry quickly flashed between King Guangping's eyebrows, but he quickly regained his composure. He turned his head and asked the emperor, "This is the first thing, so what are the second and third things?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk about it when I think of it." Brother Huang doesn't have to worry, it's still too early for the girl of the Zhao family to get married, let's delay it for two years. As for the queen mother, I will tell her that this nephew still needs to go through the experience, and if he marries his wife early, I am afraid that he will be immersed in the gentle country and lose his self-motivation, so the marriage will be discussed in two years. The queen mother has always understood things and knows that I intend to reuse Zhen'er, and only those who are happy will never object. It's the housekeeping in the royal brother's palace, and it's not okay if no one takes care of it. ”

He approached King Guangping, lowered his voice and asked, "Is the imperial brother really unwilling to continue the string?" How about setting up a side concubine? Even if it's a concubine, as long as it can make the queen mother feel at ease. She is relieved, and naturally she will no longer stare at the marriage of your father and son. ”

King Guangping's expression became very complicated for a while, he didn't expect the fire to burn on himself, and he didn't know how to answer. (To be continued......)
