Early in the morning, Yangzhou Zhaowangfu was lively.

Today is the day of Ruohua's wedding.

Zhang Chao wanted to sleep more, but the prime minister's life was not easy, and there were a lot of affairs waiting to be decided every day.

I wanted to sleep more in the morning, but Hongxian didn't let me, and called his son Shishilang to call Zhang Chao to get up. Eight-year-old Shishilang called Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao ignored it, turned over and continued to sleep.

Shishilang climbed directly onto the bed and rode on Zhang Chao as a horse.

couldn't sleep, Zhang Chao had to get up.

The red line stood at the door, smiled and came in to help Zhang Chao get the clothes, "It's still Fourteen Lang." ”

"Right now, in two years, he will dare to ride his father like this, and Lao Tzu will not beat him to death." Zhang Chao has never spoiled children, and he is treated as a guy over ten years old, and he is strict. Under the age of ten, you can still play with them occasionally.

Put on new clothes and go out, feeling that the huge Zhao Wangfu is full of people.

"There are a lot of people who come to give gifts and dowries, and there are also people who come to help."

In fact, where is there a shortage of manpower in the Zhang family, everyone is just relatives, friends or subordinate officials, and they come over to add icing on the cake.

King Zhao married his daughter, and the daughter he married was still the crown princess, which was a major event in the court.

Not everyone can do it, but the icing on the cake is something that many people are willing to do.

"Let me tell you, don't accept heavy gifts, and don't give more than ten dollars."

At present, Zhang Chao's reputation is higher, especially at the moment when the Southern Army is winning one after another, and it seems that he is about to fight Hanjing, at this time, he, the king of Zhao, the prince, the prime minister, and the future national ruler, is more and more sought after and admired, and the Zhang family is like cooking oil on fire.

However, Zhang Chao did not get carried away, after all, he is just a prime minister and a courtier. If it's too high-profile, I don't know how many people will stare at it.

The Zhang family is not short of money, and no matter how much gift they receive, it is not much fun, but it is easy to fall behind.

"If you give other gifts such as calligraphy and paintings, go back to them and give them back the same amount of money as the gift, which is considered to be what we bought."

"San Lang, this is too unkind, isn't it?"

"It's not a matter of human affection, it's a matter of being too cold in high places, and every move needs to be more and more cautious."

"You're just thinking too much."

"I want more."

Zhang Chao was not in a hurry to meet the guests, and the really important guests had not yet come in the morning, and they were all the stewards of each family. The greeting is in the afternoon, and then the wedding is held at the prince's palace until dusk.

Everyone in the family has already eaten breakfast.

The red line Zhang Luo gave Zhang Chao millet porridge, sour radish, mutton soup and so on.

The sun is already high, and it is very pleasant to eat breakfast alone, and today when her daughter gets married, Zhang Chao does not have to go to work, which is a rare leisure.

After eating, have a cup of ginger tea to warm your stomach and feel comfortable.

The morning sun shines warmly on the body in autumn.

Zhang Chao suddenly felt that if he was like this every day, sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, then eating breakfast, drinking a cup of tea, and sitting under the porch basking in the sun, it was actually a very good thing.

Sometimes when I think about it, it seems that I am indeed too capable of tossing.

When I thought about it, if I didn't toss, wouldn't I have given up my ideals. Then the rest of his life is not like a salted fish.

"Aaron." The old butler came over and called out respectfully.

"Uncle Qian is here, sit."

Steward Qian is also a lot of age now, in his seventies, he has to walk on crutches, and his head is completely white. Last time, Zhang Chao rejected the prince's decision to still give the surname and restored the surname Zhang. Later, he asked Steward Qian to restore his surname, and the housekeeper cried sadly, which comforted Zhang Chao for a long time.

Although the money housekeeper is old, he is still the big housekeeper. escaped thousands of miles from Hanjing and arrived in Yangzhou, Zhang Chao still let him serve as the chief housekeeper in the house.

Now that he is old, the specific affairs in the house are still in charge of the various stewards, but he can't be idle, walking here and there every day to see.

"Ke Jiaotou has sent someone." Money Steward said.

"Where's the person?" As soon as he heard Ke Qing's name, Zhang Chao knew that there must be something important.

Zhang Chao, the person sent by Ke Qing, knew him, but in fact, this person was not from Hanjing.

He was in Yangzhou, the person in charge of the Shadow Yangzhou Branch, Ke Qingfeige sent a message, and after he received it, he personally came to report it.

"King Zhao, Ke Jiaotou has confirmed that the crown princess is still alive and about to give birth."

As soon as the news came out, Zhang Chao was stunned.

"Are you sure?"

"It has been confirmed, Ke Jiaotou took the risk to contact the martial arts people. Wucai people personally told us that Xia Huaniang is actually fine, she was locked up in the cold palace by the emperor, and now the child is more than eight months old, and she will give birth in more than half a month. ”

He was afraid that Zhang Chao would be worried, and said, "The crown princess is in good health, and the child is also very healthy, it is said that the imperial doctor may diagnose that it may be a boy." ”

Zhang Chao kneaded his temples.

This sudden good news was indeed a surprise, and when he learned the news of the murder of Xia Hua's mother and son, Zhang Chao felt guilty for a while. But now, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the daughter is still in Li Shimin's hands.

Moreover, the second daughter Ruohua here is getting married today, this matter.

"Ke Jiaotou said that he could save people?"

"The head of the sect said that the plan was being prepared, and the emperor was very strictly guarded, and no one knew that the crown princess was still alive before. It will be difficult to rescue them from the court, especially when they are about to give birth. The head of the sect planned to wait for the crown princess to give birth and recover a little, and then try to save them. ”

Zhang Chao nodded, "You must have a perfect strategy to act, and you must not take risks in a hurry." ”

Back in the study, Zhang Chao wrote a letter to Ke Qing and explained a lot carefully. Saving lives is important, but ensuring safety is even more important.

After the person left, Zhang Chao sat alone in the study for a long time.

The red line pushes the door in.

"I'm looking for you everywhere, but you're hiding here, my daughter is getting married, and I have something to say to you."

Zhang Chao pulled the red line and sat down.

"Don't go yet, I have something to tell you."

"You can't go back and talk about something."

"It's Xia Hua Niang, she's still alive, and she's going to give birth in half a month, it's a boy."

Zheng Hongxian was shocked.

"You're not kidding?"

"I also just learned the news, the emperor did not kill them, but hid her in the cold palace of the court, and no one knew the news all this time. Even after the prince left Beijing, Xia Hua confirmed that she was pregnant. But the emperor blocked the news, so we didn't know. ”

Red Line was stunned.

"So what now? Ruohua is going to get married today, and he is going to get married. ”

Zhang Chao was also a little helpless, who would have expected things to come to this point.

"I'll go and call Thirteen Niang and Ruohua, tell them in person, and I'll inform Your Highness later."

"No way!" Zheng Hongxian stood up and stretched out his hand to stop in front of Zhang Chao. "Ruohua will be the crown princess soon, will you talk about it after today?"

"Red Line, I understand how you feel as a mother. I am also Ruohua's father, but I am also Fanghua's father, and I am also the husband of Thirteen Niang. If I don't tell everyone about this kind of thing today, they will have a pimple in their hearts in the future, and this is not a real solution. ”

"As for what to do, let's ask Ruohua and the prince what they mean, they are the parties."

"San Lang, I beg you, just wait a day, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." Red Line is very afraid that the daughter will be stupid and say that she will not marry.

The daughter is still young and doesn't think things through, but she, the mother, has to think about her. If the daughter doesn't marry today, then the daughter won't be the crown princess, and who should she even marry in the future?

Li Ji's son quit his marriage, and now he regrets marrying the prince, can he still marry in the future?

Zhang Chao shook his head.

He went out to look for Ruohua, but Hongxian was already sitting on the ground crying.

Upstairs in the west wing, the bride Ruohua is dressing up.

Zhang Chao let people report, and Ruohua greeted him with a smile.

"Dad, is my daughter beautiful today?"

Zhang Chao looked at his daughter, beautiful and generous, especially this green hairpin dress, with exquisite makeup and jewelry, today's daughter is beautiful and rich.

"Ruohua, you are very beautiful today, Dad has a few words to tell you."

Zhang Chao called his daughter aside.

"I have news for you, your eldest sister is still alive."

Silent.

Ruo Huaqiang smiled, "Really, that's great, where is my sister now?" ”

"Still in the Hanjing Palace, she has been hidden by the emperor in the cold palace of the court for the past few months, and my father only learned the news today. She is about to give birth, and there is still half a month to go. ”

"Dad, I'm very happy."

As he spoke, Ruohua's smile slid through tears.

While being happy for my sister, I am sad for my situation.

"Dad, I'm sorry for you, I didn't expect it to be today."

"Dad, you are not to blame for this, nor is anyone to blame. The daughter thought about it and didn't get married. This marriage was canceled, and it was too late. ”

"Silly boy, how do you say that. Don't be in a hurry to say stupid things now, I'll tell the news to Thirteen Niang and the prince first, and ask their opinions. I think so, I see that you also like the prince, it is better for you to enter the palace as a good woman, but I have wronged you. ”

Liangdi is the prince's concubine, and the inner wife is the third grade, second only to the princess in the East Palace.

This is also a solution that Zhang Chao has been thinking about for a long time.

It is really embarrassing to regret the marriage now, especially if it hurts Ruohua a lot.

"Of course, it's up to you to do this. If you don't want to enter the East Palace to be a good woman, Dad won't force you. Daddy will think about your happiness and listen to your decisions. ”

"You think about it, I'll go see Thirteen Niang first, and I'll go to see the prince later."

Ruohua nodded in a daze.

Seeing Thirteen Niang and telling the news, Cui Yingying screamed excitedly, laughing and crying like crazy. After being comforted by the kind words for a while, her emotions calmed down.

"What about Ruohua?"

"I told Ruohua that if she wants, she can enter the palace to be a good woman. If she doesn't want to, cancel the wedding. ”

Cui Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's also very good to be a good person." ”

Zhang Chaofu went to see Cheng Qian.

Tell me about the cause and effect of the incident, "What is Your Highness's plan?" ”

Cheng Qian was also a little confused.

"Teacher, can you save Xia Hua's mother and son?"

"Sure, but she's about to give birth, so it's not a good time to act. After a few days, it happened that the emperor was going to march in person, and when he left Beijing, the palace estimated that the defense could be weakened, and when the summer flowers recovered after giving birth, I would let that side act. ”

"Oh, that's good, we must rescue their mother and son."

"Your Highness, what should Ruohua do now?"

Cheng Qian is also entangled, he can't marry two princesses.

"Do you want the teacher to teach me?"

Zhang Chao sighed, "With today's plan, Ruohua will definitely not be able to enter the palace as the crown princess." Look at Ruohua's decision, if she is willing, then His Royal Highness will marry Ruohua into the East Palace as Liangdi. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm fine." Cheng Qian said busily, his heart is now full of Xia Hua's mother and son, and his heart is in a mess.
