March spring of the thirtieth year of Jingxi of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.

In the spring of the quiet courtyard, a group of birds flew over the courtyard, some landed on the osmanthus tree, and some landed on the white wall, playing and playing, quite lively.

A wisp of spring breeze blew gently, blowing through the osmanthus tree, blowing into the window, the three pots of spring orchids next to the window, swaying with the wind, blooming elegantly, wisps of fragrance around the study.

In the study, near the window, there is a rosewood bookcase with neat pen inkstones, and a dozen or so thick books on both sides.

In the middle of the two Lei booklets, a woman is sitting on a rosewood Taishi chair, sitting at the desk to deal with the accounts.

She was wearing a purple dress, combing a flying fairy bun, with a pair of deep and sharp phoenix eyes under the eyebrows of the two curved willow leaves, her face was like a peach blossom, her nose was greasy with goose fat, her mouth was like a dot, and she looked forward to Shenfei.

But the deterrent power that permeates her body makes people feel awe, and they only dare to look at it from afar.

This woman is Zhong Xuanlan!

At this time, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, "Knock knock." "Breaking the silence in the room.

"Come in." A cold voice came out, which could not be ignored.

Zhong You got a response, walked into the study with a dozen or so account books, and when he raised his eyes, he saw people who were doing things seriously with their heads slightly down.

Zhong Xuanlan noticed Zhong You's gaze, didn't raise his head, and asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhong You was excited, immediately retracted his gaze, and reported: "Big boss, Father-in-law Fu came to call you to the palace for lunch. ”

Zhong Xuanlan frowned lightly, this person would never summon her if he had nothing to do.

Putting down the pen in his hand, he tapped the table with his right hand, raised his eyes to look at Zhong You, and asked, "Zhong You, has something happened recently?" ”

Zhong You pondered for a while, and reported: "The master is secretly picking a son-in-law for you." ”

Zhong Xuanlan's eyes were slightly cold, her father was actually good at advocating her marriage. asked, "Where is Gonggong Fu?" ”

Zhong You glanced at the displeased person and hurriedly replied, "Wait in the front hall." He hurriedly put down the account book in his hand and said, "Big boss, this is the account book of Nancheng, I will get it tonight." I still have to go beforehand. With that, he ran away.

Zhong Xuanlan saw the Sanlei account book on the table, pinched his eyebrows, closed his eyes, calmed down, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then slowly got up and left the study slowly......

Half an hour later, Zhong Xuanlan appeared at the gate of Fengyi Palace under the leadership of Gonggong Fu.

Zhong Xuanlan raised his head slightly, raised his eyes and looked at the Fengyi Palace with low sunlight, after more than forty years of ups and downs, the palace that was still resplendent was really dazzling, raising his right hand to block the sunlight above, no one knew how much ugliness was buried here.

But the indifference here, the swords and swords, the bloody rain, she always remembers.

Zhong Xuanlan's eyes flashed with ridicule, whether this Fengyi Palace was built for him by Emperor Jinghe because he favored Empress Dowager Zhong, or whether it was a cage built for herself by Empress Dowager Zhong's relatives, it was really difficult to distinguish for a while......

Seeing Zhong Xuanlan standing still, Gonggong Fu shook off the dust, bent down and made a gesture of please, and said, "County Lord, please." ”

Zhong Xuanlan retracted his gaze, adjusted his breath slightly, and walked in with his feet raised.

After the transmission, Zhong Xuanlan walked into the fragrant and luxurious main hall.

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyes slightly and saw the old woman sitting on the top, nearly sixty-nine years old, wearing a phoenix robe, full of silver hair, sharp eyes, and majestic, this person was her grandfather's original daughter-in-law, her father's half-sister - Empress Dowager Zhong.

To the right of her head sat a graceful and dignified woman about forty-eight years old, who was the daughter of Sun Yao, the prime minister of Sun Cheng, and the imperial wife of Emperor Jingxi, Empress Sun.

After a moment, Zhong Xuanlan retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and saluted, and sat quietly on the lower left of the Empress Dowager Zhong, drinking tea and not saying a word.

Empress Sun raised a smile, looked at Zhong Xuanlan and asked, "Cousin, I heard that my little uncle has been helping you choose a husband recently, have you found one that you are satisfied with?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhong put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked, "Has Xuanlan met someone you like?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan squinted slightly, bowed his head and said nothing.

Empress Sun looked at Zhong Xuanlan and quipped with a smile: "Cousin, is this shy?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan lowered his head and said with a smoky look: "The courtiers already have someone they like. ”

Empress Sun drank tea with a teacup, and covered her surprised eyes with the teacup, which was different from what her daughter said.

Suspicious, he put down the teacup, looked at Zhong Xuanlan with a smile and said, "Oh? Hongu really wants to know which handsome son won his cousin's heart. The Empress Dowager Zhong, who looked at her head again, proposed: "Queen Mother, do you want your cousin to bring him to us at an unknown date?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded slightly, and ordered: "Xuanlan, tomorrow you bring him to the mourning family to see." ”

Zhong Xuanlan got up and saluted and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, he is from a humble background and does not understand the rules, the courtiers want him to learn the rules of some time, can the Empress Dowager wait until your birthday day to see him?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhong thought of Emperor Jingxi's words, Zhong Xuanlan held the Zhong family's business house in her hand, and was in charge of the world's merchants, she must not marry with power, if she could give marriage would be the best thing.

Seeing that Empress Sun wanted to speak, Empress Dowager Zhong flashed a fine light in her eyes, looked at Zhong Xuanlan and responded, "Okay." ”

After lunch, Zhong Xuanlan said goodbye to Empress Dowager Zhong and left the palace.

At this time, she was leaning against the wall of the car and closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, and she was very irritable.

The people in the palace are really bored, and they all do the work of matchmakers, where can she find a husband to deal with them.

If you release the news at this time to recruit a son-in-law, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people in the palace, and the marriage will probably arrive in Zhongfu within two days.

The ancestors of the Zhong family have a saying: Men cannot become officials, and the Zhong family does not marry powerful people.

Empress Dowager Zhong's entry into the palace has caused a lot of trouble to the Zhong family.

If there is another accident in her marriage, the Zhong family is likely to be destroyed in her hands, which is something she will never allow......
