Han Jiyao stared at the queen mother and couldn't say a word. The daughter of the royal family, who is just a political tool, is not qualified to talk about love. Han Jiyao couldn't figure it out for a while, but she wasn't in a hurry. As she gets older, one day, she will naturally figure it out. Perhaps, the queen mother used to have love, but the mother gave up love for the sake of the country. Han Jiyao also seems to understand that her brother, even if he and a civilian woman, know and love each other. However, they will eventually go their separate ways and cannot stay together again.

Han Jiyao once asked Han Cang why he didn't dare to chase his love.

Han Cang was silent for a moment, "People from the royal family are not qualified to pursue their own love. ”

Han Jiyao hit him, saying that he was cowardly.

When Han Cang heard this, he was unmoved, shrugged his shoulders, and said earnestly: "In the future, you will understand when you grow up." However, I really hope that Sister Ji Yao will never grow up. ”

This past incident popped up in Han Jiyao's mind. She looked up at her mother, and thought about her brother again. Suddenly, a sour feeling welled up in her heart. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't shed her tears. At this moment, Han Jiyao seemed to be able to understand her brother's state of mind at that time. In the royal family, there will always be too much bitterness and pain, too much involuntarily. However, she can still cry, talk to her mother, and complain to her father. However, as a man, Han Cang put everything in his heart. He chose home, and then he chose country. He is the crown prince of Korea, the future king of Korea, and if he wants to protect his mother and sister, he can't obey his own wishes.

Empress Han took Han Jiyao into her arms and said softly: "Yao'er, you know why the queen mother named this palace Chaoyang Palace. ”

Han Jiyao enjoyed the warmth emanating from the queen mother's arms.

Empress Han straightened the broken hair on her daughter's forehead, and her voice was extremely gentle, "The queen mother named this palace Chaoyang Palace. I just hope that my Yao'er can grow up happily in this palace. ”

When Han Jiyao heard this, her eyes faintly contained tears. She once thought that the queen mother was cold to her because she was in trouble. Now I understand that in fact, the queen mother has always loved her in her heart. Empress Han didn't care about her and indulged her, because she wanted her daughter not to be bound by the rules of shape and shape before she got married. She wants to see her daughter's youthful and lively side, and she wants to see her daughter have freedom. But Empress Han understands that the daughter of the royal family has too many responsibilities and missions on her shoulders. The so-called freedom is just a dream! Then, what Empress Han can do for her daughter is to let her freely control her own girlhood time.

Han Jiyao's hands hugged the queen mother tighter, "Queen mother, Yao'er always gets into trouble, aren't you angry with Yao'er?" ”

Empress Han looked at her gently and said with a smile: "You are my Yao'er." The queen mother will not be angry. ”

Han Jiyao broke away from the arms of the queen mother and pleaded: "Queen mother, I don't want to marry Zhao Guo far away. ”

"The marriage between Han and Zhao is known to all the princes of the world. Yao'er, do you want your father to lose his trust to the princes and the world? Queen Han didn't rely on Han Jiyao's temperament, and she was very embarrassed: "Being in the royal family, I don't have the right and qualification to choose my own marriage." Yao'er, the queen mother can't help you. ”

Han Jiyao pursed her mouth, tears dripping, "Queen Mother, can you bear to marry Yao'er to Zhao Guo?" Queen Mother, Yao'er can't bear you. Yao'er, I want to stay by your side. My father listened to my mother the most, and asked my mother to help me persuade my father. ”

It is a matter of national affairs, and Queen Han is not confused, "Yao'er, during the period before you get married, the queen mother will let you go free." When the spring flowers bloom next year, you have to do the responsibility and mission that Han Wangji should undertake. ”

Han Jiyao didn't let go when she saw her mother, and she didn't say more. She was thinking about how to avoid this marriage.

After a long time, Empress Han saw that her daughter did not speak, thinking that she was asleep. Empress Han gently put her daughter down, covered the quilt for her, and led the palace maid beside her out of the Chaoyang Palace. In order to make up for his mistakes, Han Cang has been kneeling in the Chaoyang Palace. Han Cang saw his mother walk out and asked, "Queen mother, how is Sister Ji Yao?" ”

"Get up! Ji Yao is no longer in trouble, and has already fallen asleep. After Han Hou finished speaking, she didn't look at Han Cang, and left Chaoyang Palace.

Han Cang bowed and saluted, and sent his mother away.

Han Cang knelt for a long time, his feet were a little numb, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. When the attendants around him saw it, they hurriedly walked over, held his hand, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, be careful." ”

Han Cang stood up recklessly and looked at the Chaoyang Palace. Although the queen mother calmed Han Jiyao's emotions. However, Han Cang knew Ji Yao's sister's character, she was not an obedient master. Han Jiyao didn't want to marry Zhao Guo far away, she would definitely find a way to sneak out of the palace. Han Cang knows this sister too well. In order to avoid accidents, Han Cang faced a group of people outside the hall and ordered: "You are responsible for taking care of Chaoyang Palace, if the princess runs away, she will not be spared." ”

The attendants and palace maids knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

"Sister Ji Yao, forgive my brother this time." Han Cang left this place sadly.

When Han Jiyao saw her mother leave, she threw the things on the bed to the ground to vent her emotions. The palace maid Xiaorou, while letting the princess lose her temper, comforted: "Princess, if you are not happy, just cry well!" ”

"My father, my mother, and my brother don't care for me." At this moment, the sound that Han Jiyao wanted to hear most was the tearing of the cloth towel and the sound of bottles and cans falling on the ground, "I'm going to smash all these things." ”

"Princess, this is a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when you were sixteen years old."

Han Jiyao didn't want to see anything related to Han Cang, so she held the object high and prepared to smash it.

A palace maid walked in and said, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince..."

Han Jiyao put down the object in her hand and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”

The palace maid said, "The prince knelt outside the palace for an hour. ”

Han Jiyao asked, "Why is the prince kneeling outside the hall?" ”

"The princess was overly grieved and fainted to the ground, which alarmed the queen." Xiao Rou said in a low voice: "The prince was punished by the queen. ”

"What?" Han Jiyao, who never thought that her little willfulness would cause Han Cang to be punished, asked, "My brother was punished by the queen mother because of me." Brother, how is it now. ”

Xiao Rou said, "Before the queen left, she forgave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But the maid was not in a very good mood before seeing the prince leave. ”

Han Jiyao couldn't stay any longer when she heard this, and wanted to prepare to go to the East Palace to take a look at Han Cang. When Han Jiyao just stepped out of the Chaoyang Palace, she stopped, "The queen mother punished him in order to vent her anger for herself." ”

Xiao Rou saw that the princess stopped and had no intention of leaving, so she asked, "Don't the princess go to the East Palace to see His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Han Jiyao put her hands behind her back and returned to Chaoyang Palace, "Hmph, my brother deserves to be punished." Who let him bully me. ”

Xiaorou's face was full of surprise, did the prince bully her?

Han Jiyao said, "I don't want to marry Zhao Guo far away." Xiao Rou cleaned up for me, and I wanted to sneak out of the palace. ”

Empress Han left Chaoyang Hall and did not return directly to the harem, but came to Han Wangkang's bedroom. Han Kang is dealing with the copywriting accumulated in South Korea, and his eyes are a little sore after working for a long time. Suddenly, when he saw Empress Han coming, he put down the copywriting and said with a smile: Queen, why are you here. The widow has been absent from the palace these days, but he misses me.

After Han, walking Han Kang rubbed his temples for him.

Han Kang closed his eyes and said, "It's still Madame's skillful hands." Widowed, much more comfortable. ”

Empress Han said with a smile: "We are all old husbands and wives. Cang'er and Yao'er have grown up. You! I also say the love words of these young people, and I don't know how to be shy."

Han Kang took Madame's hand and smiled, "Madam, we are old. ”

Empress Han said, "You plan to marry Yao'er to Zhao Guo." ”

Han Kang looked at Madame with an expression, "You know. ”

Empress Han nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”

"Madame, will you blame me?"

"The husband does things with deep meaning."

"If a widow marries you, what more can you ask for, won't life be happy." Han Kang smiled lightly: "The widow married Yao'er to King Zhao, one is because of the promise of King Zhao in the Zhao Palace that year. Secondly, the Widow District Rat Association carefully inspected King Zhao's character. Although King Zhao is young, he is a young hero. King Zhao is Yao'er's man worthy of being entrusted for life. The widow also believes that King Zhao will not wronged Yao'er. ”

"Yao'er's temper, don't you know it yet?" Empress Han smiled and said, "King Zhao won't be wronged Yao'er." However, Yao'er's stinky temper can get along well with King Zhao. Me! Don't worry about Yao'er. Worried that Yao'er marrying into Zhao Guo will make King Zhao suffer too much. ”

Han Kang laughed and said, "Man." It's not a happy event to endure a little hardship at a young age. The widow also believes that King Zhao will tolerate Yao'er. ”

Empress Han nodded and said, "You marry Yao'er to King Zhao, have selfish intentions!" ”

"Madame is smart, but I still can't hide your eyes." Han Kang took a breath and said, "The daughter of a widow, only the best man can be worthy of him." ”

Han Hou has many children and loves this daughter very much, so he must be cautious and make comprehensive considerations for his daughter's future. King Han married his daughter to Zhao Yong, one is that the history of the Han and Zhao families is quite deep. Moreover, King Zhao and Han Jiyao are of the same age, and King Zhao made a promise when he was young, which can be described as a love match. Secondly, King Han still has a little selfishness, that is, for the sake of South Korea's century-old plan. Han Jiyao, married to Zhao Guo, became the mother of Zhao Guo. If he can give birth to a child in the future, he will naturally become the crown prince of Zhao State. If nothing else, that child will be the heir of Zhao and the future king of Zhao. With this relationship, Han and Zhao can not coexist peacefully, work together, and never lose each other.

Of course? Han Jiyao can also marry a vassal state. But Han Kang pondered, Qin won the heir, and there were many beauties in the harem, among which Mi Bazi and Qin Hou fought in secret, and the daughter married not only could not become the master of the Qin State, but would be wronged. There were many fights between Wei and Korea, and if he married his daughter, wouldn't he become a hostage of Wei. As for Yan Kingdom, it is bitterly cold and remote, and Han Kang can't look down on it. Tian Yinqi, the monarch of Qi State, is already old. Prince Tian Biqi is also a drunkard. As for the state of Chu, Han Kang's return was not taken into consideration. After comprehensive consideration, Han Kang felt that marrying his daughter to Zhao Wangyong was the most ideal.

Empress Han said with a smile: "I have no objection to any decision made by my husband. I only hope that my daughter can have happiness. ”

Zhao Yong left the district rat and returned to Handan. Zhao Bao didn't give the king a good face.

Zhao Yong knew that he was wrong, one ear went in, and the other ear went out. Zhao Bao said that he was tired, and Zhao Yong carefully asked people to send Xiangbang a glass of water and let him drink it, and said slowly.

Zhao Bao said for a long time, his mouth was also a little thirsty, and he drank some water. He saw that the king didn't take it seriously, so he simply didn't say anything. After Zhao Bao left, Mu Jian said, "Your Majesty, congratulations!" Thy hard days are coming. ”

Zhao Yong frowned and said, "You have inquired about the news of the Korean princess clearly." ”

Mu Jian nodded and said, "Korean princesses and concubines, there are vassal states and famous families who go to propose marriage." However, none of them succeeded. I've heard people say that the director of the Korean public office is rude and unreasonable. I am deeply anxious for your future, Lord. ”

Sima Wang's eyes widened, and he said, "Your Majesty, the days ahead should not be spent in misery. ”

"Isn't it?" Mu Jian shook his head and said, "The king left the Zhao Palace just to avoid the vassal states to marry. In order to be free, the king fled from Zhao Palace and Handan. Who knows, after going out for a walk, I returned to the original point. ”
