9. Distinguished guests of the palace
Zhao Qi is the eldest grandson of the family, because the family has a small population, he has never been divided, and he has been growing up under the nose of the old King Zhao.
Lao Zhao Wang is a wonderful person, he didn't like to read when he was young, he didn't like women when he was old, he didn't like to get close to his relatives when he was old, what did he always like?
The delicacies of all parties, although they do not eat much, do not refuse to come, and they are quite tolerant; Calligraphy and painting, poetry, music, not self-proclaimed elegance, but he has nothing to pursue in life, calligraphy and painting, poetry, music in the realm is his little fascination, oh, there is an undeclared hobby, he loves to push pai gow, that kind of blood boiling is simply graceful.
He is very satisfied with his life, he is fortunate to be born in Zhong Mingding's noble family, which is already a great luck, why do he have to go to the camp for that one?
Therefore, I look down on the brothers who fought against each other for the throne back then.
"Life is too short, so why not be happy." But he is not stupid, not only has self-knowledge, but also knows him, he looks down on other brothers, can brothers look down on him?
Those ridicules and ridicule him are not in vain, but they have different aspirations and disagreements, who is patient to waste this mind and associate with people who look down on themselves and look down on themselves, his life is delicious, and he does not make trouble with this heart.
However, the old prince has never operated in his life, but unexpectedly and unexpectedly has been pleasing the likes of the one sitting on the throne, whether it was his father back then, and later his brother, when he likes to drink and laugh together, when he doesn't like to scold angrily, he gets along like the father and brother of ordinary people, and now, the nephew is in power, and he is also very close to this uncle, and he is quite comfortable and casual when he meets, and he does not forget to honor him when he has good things, and the old Zhao prince is very satisfied.
Not only is he comfortable with these noble relatives, but he is also pure in his own house, without him, and he doesn't love beauty.
Although life is a little less crimson, it is very stable, he is soft-hearted, he can't see his family being wronged, and a wife who is the right person is enough.
His wife gave birth to two sons and three daughters, and the five children all studied at home, and when he became an adult, the eldest son took the title, and the position in the court was not low, and the second son relied on the emperor to support him, and gave him an idle and oily official position, and the three daughters grew up in favor, and married the children of the official eunuchs in the court with a rich dowry, although they were not necessarily rich, but they were also very stable, and they seemed to have inherited the old prince's ambition.
Zhao Qi's father, that is, the little Zhao prince who took the title, was a person of great affection like his father, so after his wife died, he went to the Yue family to marry his wife and sister back, one is to continue to maintain the friendly relationship between the palace and the Yue family, and the other is to feel sorry for Zhao Qi who lost his mother at a young age and hopes that his stepmother will treat him well.
The plan is good, and the beginning is indeed good, but people are biased, even if the mother may have a preference between the sons, let alone the son of the eldest sister?
Rationally, Zhao Qi's aunt, Princess Xiao Zhao is willing to feel sorry for him, but emotionally it is a little difficult, especially after her son Zhao Yan was born.
Xiao Zhao Wang Ye is upright, seeing that Princess Xiao Zhao treats Zhao Qi well, and gets along with his parents and brothers and sisters properly, his heart is worthy of being born in a royal history family, and the family education etiquette is very thorough, and he thinks that she and her sister are both the daughters of the imperial history, but she has filled the house for him, I can't help but say that it is very wronged, and the feelings of Xiao Zhao are superimposed, and the feelings of Xiao Zhao Wang Ye for Xiao Zhao Princess are unconscious, after Zhao Yan was born, the relationship between the two is even more honey, and Zhao Qi is old at this time, long past the age of the little baby's love, and often enters the palace to accompany the prince to study, Xiao Zhao Wang Ye didn't feel serious when he saw him, the two fathers and sons were like strangers for a while, and Xiao Zhao Wang Ye didn't even notice it, compared with Zhao Yan, he actually felt that Zhao Qi was withdrawn, and at this time, where did he find that Princess Xiao Zhao's heart was always tearing?
Xiao Zhao couldn't find it, but Old Zhao and the princess did. The old couple felt sorry for their eldest grandson, but they also understood the difficulties of Princess Zhao, so they could only sigh, and on the grounds that they needed the company of their young grandson in old age, they asked Zhao Qi to live in the garden of their old couple, and even talked about Zhao Qi in a casual conversation with the emperor, and the emperor also sighed, and with a wave of the ink pen, he gave Zhao Qi's independent courtyard a question
The name of "Maolu" is the heart of the elders both openly and secretly. Now, the distinguished guest is tired from the journey, and is arranged to live in the guest compartment after dinner.
They were discussing what your guests had to say. So who is this guest? It's a long story, and this has to go back to the time when Lao Zhao was young.
Now we are saying that the old Zhao prince and his brothers do not look down on each other, in fact, he is looked down on by the brothers more often, and he does not blame others, he can't study, his personality is cowardly, greedy and lazy, these traits are looked down upon everywhere, and the mentality of the old Zhao prince is not born so open-minded, but it is tempered a little bit in this oil, and it is indeed very sad to say.
In such a sad time, Lao Zhao Wang Ye also has a rare friend, to be precise, a fox friend who shares the same disease.
This fox friend is the son of the household Shangshu, and it stands to reason that he is also noble, but his mother was not born very well, the daughter of a noble merchant, the daughter of a noble merchant, or a merchant woman, although she also received an aristocratic education, but the family atmosphere is different, and the words and deeds she received are always different from the daughters of ordinary eunuchs.
After marrying the Hubu squire, the official fortune of the unobtrusive squire has prospered, and he has always achieved the Hubu Shangshu, but his son obviously did not inherit much from his father's good reading, but is more like a mother who loves business.
Among the children of the nobility in Kyoto, this preference can't deceive people, and they are laughing openly and secretly, and this situation resonates very well with the young old Zhao Wangye, and they hit it off immediately after getting acquainted, and they became close friends.
Although the brother had a quarrel with his father when he was older, he simply left Kyoto to take refuge in his grandfather's house and concentrate on the business business, but his friendship with the old Zhao prince has not diminished.
The brother of the old Zhao prince, the Nanbeihu Villa where the emperor of the then emperor Lao Zhao lived during his southern tour was the private residence of this brother, yes, Concubine You, Youmin at that time was this brother, Youqian's young daughter.
So what happened to Youqian this time? First, his young daughter, the emperor's favorite concubine, was about to give birth to twin sons, and he brought his worried wife to visit; Second, this time is different from the past, although the capital still can not be used as the most important choice of the family business, but also can not be lazy, need to be carefully taken care of, to say ugly, in case the people of the shops in the capital act inappropriately, offend the powerful, not only damage the face of the concubine, but also make the emperor embarrassed, so he left the eldest son's family to keep the family business, and brought the second son's family to Kyoto to operate, this time, it is to recognize a door, there are acquaintances in the act is always more convenient, human nature; Third, his second son has a son and a daughter, and he has no education at present, and he has not been back in Kyoto for several years, and he is not familiar with people, so he pondered it, and still hopes that they can enter the family of the old Zhao Wangye, rest assured.
