Chapter 520: Back to the Black Cauldron

"Husband, in the past few months since you left with Brother Jiu'er, the third sister has finally reacted." Cao Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally said, she has always wanted to match Princess Shoukang and Cao Song, originally she didn't have any hope, but the last time Master Huining saw the marriage for Princess Shoukang, she saw hope again, so she has been observing Princess Shoukang's reaction during this time.

"What's the reaction, third sister, she won't have lovesickness like Wanling, right?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, he was also very conflicted about Princess Shoukang and Cao Song, that is, he wanted Princess Shoukang to have a home, but he had some scruples about Cao Song's bad reputation, so he brought Cao Song to Xixia, opening a bank on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also made him stay away from Princess Shoukang, so that he had time to seriously think about this matter.

"With the character of the third sister, do you think she will get lovesickness?" Cao Ying looked at Zhao Yan a little speechless at this time and asked.

"Uh, this ......" Zhao Yan thought of Princess Shoukang's usual situation, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, taking a step back, even if Princess Shoukang really missed Cao Song, with her character, I am afraid that she would only step on the horse and gallop to Xixia to find Cao Song, instead of staying at home and thinking nonsense.

Seeing Zhao Yan shaking her head helplessly, Cao Ying couldn't help laughing out loud, but she quickly spoke again: "Husband, although the third sister doesn't have lovesickness, and it seems to be normal to look like a normal person, but she has asked me privately a few times when you will come back, and every time she inquired about your whereabouts, she just wanted to bring Brother Jiu'er, which shows that she is also very concerned about Brother Jiu'er, so I think the third sister may really be a little concerned about Brother Jiu'er this time." ”

"But that doesn't mean anything, does it?" After listening to this, Zhao Yan said a little disapprovingly, and at the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I can't say anything. With the third sister's usual arrogant personality, in addition to caring about the relatives around her, she has always been unapologetic about other men, but this time she inquired about the situation of the ninth brother several times, judging by my intuition, the third sister is not interested in the ninth brother. But it's not far off. Cao Ying believed in her judgment very much.

In fact, with Zhao Yan's understanding of Princess Shoukang, he also knew that it was very abnormal for the other party to inquire about Cao Song's situation so many times, but he didn't want to admit it, of course, he didn't insist too much on this matter, so as not to make Cao Ying unhappy, after all, she was the key guardian of the family, and now she must not make her unhappy.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan is not entangled in the matter of Princess Shoukang and Cao Song. Instead, the topic shifted to the matter of Zhao Ji and Hua Zhi, women's nature made them full of curiosity about gossip news, so Cao Ying was also very curious about Zhao Jili's crown princess, and when she heard Zhao Yan mention this matter, she listened carefully at the moment, and interrupted Zhao Yan from time to time to ask a few questions, and even asked Hua Zhi's appearance clearly.

In the end, Zhao Yan talked about Zhao Yan giving up the idea of Lihuazhi as a concubine, and put forward three conditions. As a result, after Zhao Shu had agreed to these three conditions yesterday, Cao Ying sighed and said, "This matter is finally over." The husband doesn't have to be caught in the middle anymore and is not good to be, but the eldest brother is really going to let you accept him and Hua Zhi's son as disciples, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future. ”

"Big brother, he only has that Hua Zhi in his heart now, so he will make such a request, maybe in a few years. Hua Zhi is not so important in his heart, and he may slowly look down on this matter, so we don't have to take it too seriously. Zhao Yan said again at the moment, although he didn't want to admit it, but the facts proved it. No matter how unforgettable the love, it will slowly fade its original color with time, of course, these loves sometimes become family affection, and some of them really pass away with the wind.

"Hmph, I know that you men like the new and hate the old, and it is estimated that in the eyes of the husband, the concubine has already become a yellow-faced woman, right?" Cao Ying suddenly got angry when she heard this, which made Zhao Yan also stunned, because if it had been placed in the past, Cao Ying would definitely not be so emotional, and she would not have said such a blocked breath, it seems that the impact on her after pregnancy is really not small.

"Lady, don't you know my thoughts, whether it's for you or Ning'er, I'm sincere, there is absolutely no hypocrisy, and you warned me when I went to Xixia, you must not provoke any more women, you see how obedient I am, I didn't bring any women back this time!" Zhao Yan hurriedly opened his mouth to express his loyalty, he didn't expect to be burned, it seems that Zhao Yan's matter is really harmful.

Hearing Zhao Yan actually mention the warning she had given him at the beginning, Cao Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then she smiled and said, "Why didn't the husband bring back the woman this time, I heard that the queen of Western Xia was brought back by the husband?" ”

"That Queen Liang is already a dead man, you won't even eat a dead man's vinegar, right?" Zhao Yan also pretended to have a helpless expression when he heard this, he thought that Cao Ying was joking with himself, so he naturally had to cooperate with her.

"That's not necessarily, I heard that Queen Liang was still alive and well, but she died suddenly on the way, you escorts all said that Li Liangzuo killed her, but why did Li Liangzuo kill his wife in a good way? Now people outside say that the husband has taken a fancy to others, but they would rather die than obey, so that Queen Liang died on the road? Cao Ying glanced at Zhao Yan again at this time and said, of course she knew that Zhao Yan would not do such a thing, but now there are many people in the capital who are spreading this, so she also wants to hear Zhao Yan tell what happened.

"Which bastard got this out of here?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, he had just returned to the capital, and there were already such rumors coming out, and he also put the basin that killed Queen Liang on his head, which made him naturally angry.

"Husband, don't care who spread it, now even the people in our palace know about this matter, let alone in the capital, but what is the reason for this matter, can the husband sue the concubine?" Cao Ying asked with concern at this time, although a rumor about the cause of Queen Liang's death could not help Zhao Yan, but this kind of thing was detained on Zhao Yan for no reason, which made Cao Ying also a little angry.

"Alas, the death of Queen Liang is indeed too unjust, if it is said that it was because of me, it is not wrong, but it is not as rumored outside......" Zhao Yan immediately told the story and reason why Queen Liang was killed by Li Liangzuo, which focused on Li Liangzuo's crazy thoughts at that time, which made Cao Ying silent after hearing it.

After a while, I saw Cao Ying, who was in silence, suddenly clapped her hands and said: "Husband, don't worry about this matter, just a rumor is nothing at all, when the eldest brother didn't want to get married, there were more rumors on him, and even many people thought that he was good at Longyang, compared to the rumors of the husband, this time the rumors are nothing at all!" ”

"Huh? That's just as well! Zhao Yan couldn't help but nod when he heard this, compared to the behavior of forcing the queen of the enemy country to death, being said to be gay for no reason is indeed more aggrieved, I really don't know how Zhao Yan survived in the first place?

But at this moment, I saw Cao Ying suddenly smile coldly and said: "Of course, the husband can't carry such a black pot on his back in vain, the concubine already has a way to save the reputation of the husband, but she has to sacrifice the reputation of the Queen Liang, but the reputation of the Queen Liang is not very good, and it is estimated that she will not care about the worse reputation after her death." ”

Seeing Cao Ying's sneering expression, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel sad for the hard-working Queen Liang, although he didn't know what Cao Ying's idea was, but since she said so, I'm afraid she wouldn't break her promise.

Just when Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were talking, breakfast was finally ready, and the two of them went to the restaurant together, Xue Ning'er and they had already arrived, and Zhao Yan announced the start of the meal, and the family finally had a reunion dinner, but breakfast was generally relatively simple, and at noon, Cao Ying and they prepared a reception banquet for Zhao Yan, and Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also came, which was a real reunion dinner.

After the reunion dinner, Zhao Yan deliberately found Xue Ning'er alone, and then told her the news of Xue Wolf, speaking of which, Xue Wolf did not follow Zhao Yan back to Beijing this time, but took the initiative to stay in Western Xia, which had just been pacified, and many remnants of Western Xia were not willing to fail, these people did not dare to oppose the Great Song Dynasty openly, so they went underground, this is also the time for the Imperial City Division to show his talents, and Xue Wolf, who is bent on throwing himself into the ground, will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Xue Ning'er naturally knew her brother's thoughts, but when she heard that he had sneaked into the Xixia capital alone, it also made her frightened, and Zhao Yan was also very distressed about this, so she could only gently hold her in her arms and comfort her softly, but Xue Ning'er was stronger than Zhao Yan imagined, and quickly cheered up, and even discussed Xue Wolf's marriage with Zhao Yan, which made Zhao Yan also feel a sense of surprise, but thinking about Xue Wolf's age, it was indeed time to get married.

Regarding Xue Wolf's marriage, Zhao Yan felt that it was better to wait until Xue Wolf came back, but Xue Ning'er thought that the eldest sister was like a mother, and Xue Wolf's marriage should be arranged by her, so Zhao Yan also persuaded her not to move, so she could only go with her.

Next, Zhao Yan wanted to find his two baby daughters, and he had promised to take them to the front yard to get gifts, but as soon as he came out of Xue Ning'er's yard, he only heard the voice of Princess Shoukang from behind him: "Third brother, I have something to ask you!"
