"How could Ning Guofu disagree with this family business?" Cao Guifei asked, "If he doesn't agree, does he want his granddaughter to live as a widow for the rest of his life?"

In the entire Great Zhou, except for the royal family, who would dare to marry his granddaughter?

The concubine wants to warn you, if you don't agree, it will be cheaper for that old woman of the Gao family! ”

"That's the Imperial Concubine Gao!" Zhao Xu looked at his mother helplessly, "Erchen remembers that the relationship between you and Emperor Gao was very good in the past, why has it become like this now!" ”

Regarding the relationship between his mother and the noble concubine, Zhao Xu did not understand it very much.

"It's not all for you!" Cao Guifei snorted coldly and said.

"What is it for me?" Zhao Xu pursed his lips disapprovingly and said, "In the final analysis, the mother concubine is still for her own power!" ”

"You ......" Seeing that her son actually said this about herself, Cao Guifei was angry.

"Erchen's words may be a little ugly, the mother doesn't have to care, the son is here to accompany the mother concubine!" Sighing in his heart, Zhao Xu said earnestly: "The sons are self-aware, in terms of generosity, the sons are not as good as the eldest emperor, and in terms of intelligence, the sons and daughters are not as good as the second emperor brothers."

Not to mention the two imperial brothers, that is, Xun'er and Hui'er, their family background and intelligence are much better than those of Erchen. ”

Zhao Xu's sixth prince Zhao Xun and eighth prince Zhao Hui were born to Zhu Guifei, the daughter of Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household, and Zheng Guifei, the daughter of Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Although the two princes were only four and six years old respectively, they showed their intelligence early on.

On the contrary, it was the third prince Zhao Xu, the older prince, who seemed a little mediocre.

The six-year-old sixth prince Zhao Xun can memorize an article in one day, while Zhao Xu takes three or five days to complete, which can be seen.

Therefore, Zhao Xu never had any expectations for the throne.

He is self-aware!

"What family is illustrious?" After listening to her son's words, Cao Guifei sneered at each other: "Just that Zhao Xun, his mother Concubine Zhu Guifei has the same position as this palace." If your grandfather doesn't step down, he and Zhu Kaishan are the same six books, and your grandfather has been the governor of Liangjiang for two terms, how can Zhu Kaishan be comparable to Zhu Kaishan when it comes to protégés? ”

Listening to his mother's words, Zhao Xu was a little dumbfounded.

He just mentioned his family background casually, but he didn't expect his mother to go online.

This made Zhao Xu very helpless.

Although Cao Rui and Zhu Kaishan are both six Shangshu, how can the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites be compared with the Shangshu of the Household Ministry?

"It seems that the mother concubine has been obsessed!" Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Xu sighed helplessly and said, "Since the mother concubine said so, she didn't say anything about it."

However, the sons still have to tell the mother concubine that if the mother touches the ashes of the father and the emperor, don't be angry with the son!

The son is tired, so retire first! ”

With that, Zhao Xu bowed and left Cao Guifei's bedroom.

"This unassuming thing actually worries the palace!" Looking at the back of Zhao Xu leaving, Cao Guifei scolded angrily.

……

"No, this palace is going to see the emperor!" Afraid of long nights and dreams, and at the same time, in order to prevent Gao Guifei from taking the lead, as soon as Zhao Xu left, Cao Guifei tidied up her appearance and went straight to the direction of Chen'an Palace.

"Long live the lord who has not returned from the palace yet, otherwise you will come back tomorrow from the noble concubine?"

Cao Guifei hurriedly came to the door of Chen'an Palace, not wanting to hear such news, so she could only go home disappointed.

That morning, after dealing with some tricky official business, Zhang Lingyang took Xiaofuzi out of the palace and went to the arsenal in the western suburbs of Luoyang for a field trip.

After a busy day, by the time Zhang Lingyang returned to the palace, it was completely dark.

"Someone is looking for me today?" After a simple freshening up and a few mouthfuls of dinner, Zhang Lingyang called the little eunuch on duty outside the hall to ask.

"This afternoon, Concubine Cao Guifei came to look for Long Live Lord, but when she saw that Long Live Lord was not there, she went back, and she didn't say what it was, just said that she would come to look for Long Live Lord again when she was empty tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang was stunned for a moment, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Bishan in the northern suburbs to see how the construction of the cemetery is going."

You go and tell Cao Guifei, just say that I will order her to come to Chen'an Hall tonight to sleep, and let her come after freshening up! ”

"Yes, long live the Lord!"

The little eunuch answered, and went to Cao Guifei's dormitory to pass it on.

Half an hour later, Cao Guifei, who was dressed up, came to Chen'an Palace.

However, at this time, Zhang Lingyang, who had been tired for a day, was already half-lying on the bed and a little drowsy.

Seeing Cao Guifei's arrival, Zhang Lingyang cheered up, Zhang Lingyang beckoned to Cao Guifei and asked her to go to bed.

There were no unscrupulous movements during the period, hugging Cao Guifei's shoulders, Zhang Lingyang asked: "I heard that Concubine Ai came to look for me this afternoon, I don't know why?" ”

Cao Guifei didn't know how to talk about this matter, but now when she saw Zhang Lingyang asking, she hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm worried about Xu'er's marriage!" ”

"Why, but no one can enter the eyes of the concubine?" Zhang Lingyang asked in surprise.

"Not really!" Cao Guifei smiled and said, "It's mainly the woman selected by the concubine, Xu'er is not satisfied, so she came to ask the emperor for help!" ”

"A woman who loves concubines and is satisfied, Xu'er is not satisfied, this is strange!" Zhang Lingyang was also curious, staring at Cao Guifei's face and asking, "I don't know whose daughter it is?" ”

"The emperor must know this person!" Cao Guifei smiled and said, "It's the granddaughter of the old man of Ning Guo, Sun Ying!" ”

Hearing the name Sun Ying, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but be stunned, then pulled his arm away from Cao Guifei's shoulder, got up and looked directly into Cao Guifei's eyes, and asked, "Why did you think of her?" If I'm not mistaken, that Sun Ying should be a year older than Xu'er! ”

"Isn't it more considerate to be a year older!" Cao Guifei didn't feel Zhang Lingyang's coldness, and continued: "Moreover, the concubine is thinking, this Sun Ying is the person who has been married to our royal family, although His Majesty Jinkou Yuyan came into contact with the marriage contract between Sun Ying and King An, but in addition to our royal family, it is difficult for Sun Ying to marry into someone else's family."

Thinking about it this way, the concubine felt that our royal family couldn't stand the old man of Ning Guo, so she thought about letting Xu Er and Sun Ying get engaged to comfort the old man of Ning Guo! ”

"Is this what you really think?" Zhang Lingyang asked Cao Guifei scrutinically.

"Naturally, it's the idea of a concubine? Why does Your Majesty ask such a question? Cao Guifei wondered.

"It's nothing, I'll talk about this later, I'm a little tired, let's rest early!" From Cao Guifei's face, Zhang Lingyang couldn't see anything strange, so he lay down and slept with his clothes after saying that......
