Zhao Yun glanced at Empress Nie, remembered what he heard outside the hall just now, thought for a moment, and then said, "Say, what does the queen need to come to me in person?" ”

When Empress Nie heard Zhao Yun's words, she was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, you see that the fourth son has already reached the crown, and the other adult princes and concubines,." ”

The meaning of Empress Nie's words Zhao Yun already knew it from the time she exited, and she used it to win over the ministers of the court for Concubine Zhao Sina? But Nei Huanghou is not wrong in what he said, among the several adult princes, there are also the third prince Zhao Xuan and the fourth prince Zhao Si who have no concubines, the two have already reached the crown, and it is time to take concubines for the two.

Especially the third prince Zhao Xuan, it is reported that his ignorance of him over the years has left him to fend for himself in the Three Princes' Mansion, and he doesn't seem to even have a side concubine, which is really not in line with the identity of a prince, not to mention that he is still the future prince; Zhao Yun planned in his heart that Zhao Xuan would be able to spread out as soon as possible, so that the royal family would have more heirs, and the Zhao family would prosper.

Although this made Empress Nie make a lot of profits, as long as she controlled the court, and Zhao Si was not a prince, Zhao Yun believed that Empress Nie would not be able to make any waves.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun agreed to Empress Nie's proposal in his heart, but he still asked Zhao Si, who was standing on the side without speaking, and said, "Do you want to take a concubine?" ”

Zhao Si heard Zhao Yun's question, looked up at Zhao Yun who was looking at him, glanced at Empress Nie, and looked at Empress Nie's gesture in his eyes, Zhao Si said: "Father, the son doesn't want to take a concubine, and the son has someone he likes." I don't want to accept women who my sons don't like. ”

"Oh? Si'er has someone he likes, which lady can get Si'er's favor? ”

Zhao Yun was actually quite satisfied with Zhao Si's words, this son, who had never been favored by him, was able to be so shrewd today, knowing how to figure out his own heart and how to answer himself.

On the other hand, Empress Nie on the side couldn't help but glared at him angrily after hearing Zhao Si's answer, and then after seeing Zhao Yun turn to look at her, she had to smile awkwardly and toughly.

"The son is incompetent, and the emperor forgives me."

Zhao Si suddenly stepped forward and knelt in Zhao Yun's footsteps to admit that he was mistaken, looking at Zhao Si like this, Zhao Yun was puzzled: "What happened, you suddenly did this?" ”

Zhao Si knew that as long as he opened his mouth and said his words, how serious the consequences would be, Zhao Si knew in his heart. But if he doesn't say it, then he has to accept the princess chosen by Empress Nie for him.

If he really wants him to marry a concubine, then he would rather disobey Empress Nie's words and marry a woman he likes as a concubine than a woman who is a tool for Empress Nie to win over ministers; Even if the woman he married was as beautiful as a fairy, he didn't want to.

"The person who belongs to Erchen's heart is a woman named Liu'er."

Zhao Si said in a low voice, he secretly glanced at Empress Nie's face from blue to white to white, and then looked at Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun heard the words coming out of Zhao Si's mouth, he couldn't help but be angry: "You useless thing, how can such a woman be able to become the princess like me?" ”

Liu'er. Although Zhao Yun has never been to the Zuichun Building, Zhao Yun still knows the name of Liu'er, and the top brand of the Zuichun Building, I heard that he is a performer and not a person, but he didn't expect to hook up with Zhao Si.

Although Zhao Yun was unwilling to let Zhao Si marry a woman with a very good family background, and did not want his marriage to become a tool for Empress Nie to win over ministers and fulfill her selfish desires, she would never allow Zhao Si to marry a woman from the land of fireworks, which was an insult to the Zhao royal family.

If the woman Zhao Si belonged to was really a woman with an innocent family background, then Zhao Yun would be happy to agree to this marriage, but now, Zhao Yun only had anger in his heart.

Zhao Si, who looked at Zhao Yun angrily, was startled, and was a little overwhelmed; He knew what kind of consequences he would usher in after saying those words, even if he was ready to accept Zhao Yun's anger in his heart, but when Zhao Yun was really angry, Zhao Si's heart was still scared.

Empress Nie had never seen such an angry Zhao Yun, and she felt haggard in her heart about Zhao Si's failure; But Zhao Si's marriage must be decided as soon as possible, because Zhao Xuan's threat is too big.

She wants to get what she wants before Zhao Xuan has just come out and her wings are not full; If not, when Zhao Xuan's wings are full, then she will definitely regret it.

Thinking of this, Empress Nie immediately scolded Zhao Sidao, who was kneeling beside him in a daze: "Why don't you hurry up and admit a mistake to your father, how can you joke with your father like this in marriage matters?" ”

Zhao Si suddenly heard Queen Nie's words, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his heart, but in the face of Zhao Yun who was angry, Zhao Si could only resign himself and said: "The light father emperor forgives the unfilial piety of the son, that is the woman that the son likes, the son has promised her that he will marry her as a concubine, and ask the father and the queen mother to fulfill the son." ”

"Smack"

As soon as Zhao Si's words fell, a crisp sound came from his face.

After Empress Nie slapped Zhao Si in anger, and received Zhao Si's incredulous eyes, Empress Nie suddenly felt panicked in her heart, and wanted to explain something but found that she couldn't say anything, opened her mouth, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhao Yun threw his sleeves away angrily when he heard Zhao Si's unchanging appearance, and reprimanded Empress Nie before leaving: "The queen, as the queen of the middle palace, is actually educating the prince like this, it is really hard work." Hum! ”

Poor Empress Nie was bent on using Zhao Si's marriage to win over a powerful minister, but she didn't expect that this son, who had always been obedient to him, would repeatedly disobey her, and finally let her be ridiculed and ridiculed by Emperor Zhao Yun.

"What's going on with you today?"

After Zhao Yun left, Empress Nie asked Zhao Sidao, who was still kneeling.

However, the current Zhao Si was still immersed in the slap that Empress Nie had just opened him, and Zhao Si, who suddenly heard Empress Nie's question, came back to his senses, took a deep look at Empress Nie, and then stood up from the ground and stepped out of Kunning Palace.

Empress Nie was a little relieved by Zhao Si's bold departure, and when she came back to her senses, only a vague figure remained in her sight, and then disappeared.

At that time, when something happened in the palace, the palace of the three princes outside the palace walls.

The night was already dark, and Zhao Xuan had locked himself in the study since Su Ran and the others left, and he had not walked out until now.

"How is the county lord, have you woken up?"

Zhao Xuan asked lightly about the ink bamboo behind him.

Mo Zhu heard Zhao Xuan's question, and immediately returned: "I haven't woken up yet, the master wants to go over?" ”

Zhao Xuan's footsteps paused slightly because of Mo Zhu's words, although it was extremely slight, but Mo Zhu could still see clearly. began to guess in his heart that the master was really as the housekeeper said, giving up the woman they had been looking for for ten years and falling in love with the lord of Jiuhuang?

"Go down and get the punishment yourself, just five times this time."

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan's words came into Mo Zhu's ears from the front, and Mo Zhu knelt down without thinking about it, and said, "My subordinates have overstepped, thank you for your master's mercy." ”

The doubts in his heart made Mo Zhu forget to stay by Zhao Xuan's side, what he had to do was not to ask what he shouldn't ask, don't look at what he shouldn't see, if not, then thorn pepper rattan wait.

As soon as he thought of the unbearable feeling of the thorn pepper rattan falling on his body, Mo Zhu felt that he was already creepy. He knew that the five strokes that Zhao Xuan said were already extraordinarily kind. After pleading guilty to Zhao Xuan, Mo Zhu's figure disappeared in place.

After coming out of the study, after Mo Zhu's words, Zhao Xuan still couldn't help but come to the house where Jiuhuang lived.

Skipping the maid guarding the outer room, Zhao Xuan pushed open the room where Jiuhuang lived without making any sound. The night was dark, but it was summer, and the moonlight windows outside the house illuminated the room, even if he didn't have to light the lamp, Zhao Xuan could see the nine phoenixes on the bed clearly, including her pale face.

The thin silk quilt on his body had been kicked away by Jiuhuang and fell to the ground, revealing a pair of jade feet; Seeing such a nine phoenix, a rare smile flashed on Zhao Xuan's face, and he didn't expect her to have such a daughter.

Zhao Xuan stepped closer to the bed, in order not to make noise to Jiuhuang, Zhao Xuan put his steps very lightly. came to the bed, covered the silk quilt that fell on the ground for the nine phoenixes, and then sat on the wooden bench next to the bed, admiring the nine phoenixes by the moonlight.

Just as Zhao Xuan was distracted, Jiuhuang on the bed suddenly moved his fingers hanging down his side, and his tightly closed eyelids also moved, and then his eyes opened slowly, little by little.

The hot pain in his back was the first feeling Jiuhuang felt when he woke up, and the pain was like being scraped with a knife. Memories flood in. She was subjected to thirty sticks of military law in the barracks, and one stick after another fell on her back, but after more than ten sticks, she felt a flower in front of her eyes, and she fainted.

When I looked up, I was greeted by a white bed curtain. Jiuhuang settled down in his heart, he was in bed and not dead yet.

Zhao Xuan, who was distracted, had already come back to his senses when Jiuhuang's fingers had just moved, and when he thought that Jiuhuang's fingers were just moving because of pain like during the day, he saw that in the next second, Jiuhuang had already opened his eyes.

The sudden change made Zhao Xuan slightly stunned, and his face instantly regained his composure, but at this time, no one could understand the shock, excitement and hesitation in his heart.

He watched Jiuhuang slowly move his gaze from the bed curtain towards him, and then he saw Jiuhuang open his mouth in surprise when he saw him confused, slightly stunned, and shocked.

Jiuhuang's surprised appearance made Zhao Xuan, who was originally nervous in his heart, look at it and wanted to laugh, and the nervousness in his heart also faded until it disappeared.
