Chapter 722: Return to Beijing
"If you care, it's messed up. In fact, at this time, who will have time to take care of me? Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to overturn his rhetoric a while ago and persuade Xiao Lingyan from a different angle.
"If the plot still follows the original path, the three princes are now planning a big conspiracy. The crown prince, the second and fourth princes have to deal with him, and they have no time to take care of me. The most important thing is that there are two princes in front of you, and they don't even think about targeting you. If you don't kill the second prince, it's useless to target you alone. You don't matter, and I can't get into their eyes. If I had some free time, I thought they could still embarrass me. But now at this juncture, they really can't take care of me. ”
"But when I go back, not only you, but the emperor also has a guarantee. If the emperor dies, no matter who becomes the emperor, we will all have to be uncomfortable. Even if the crown prince and several princes are dead, you will take the throne, clean up the mess, appease the ministers, handle government affairs, and deal with foreign enemies, and you must not be overwhelmed? Even if it is not for us, for the people of the world, it is the best for stability. We're people who have died once anyway, so what if we die again? It's still cannon fodder when you walk through. Now it's just a gamble, it's really not a big deal. ”
Seeing that Zhao Ruxi had made up her mind, Xiao Lingyan was not a person who only cared about the love of her children and the people of the world, and finally agreed to her return to Beijing.
"Then I'll pick you up in a few days." He said.
Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "No." You let the emperor send someone to pick me up. You come to pick it up, I'm afraid someone will want to catch both of us. She also advised, "Although there are two princes in front of them, they can get rid of one by one." The third prince is not far from going crazy now, and it really can't be inferred by common sense. You'd better be careful, don't go out of the city in the near future, stay in the Qi Palace, and say that you are busy preparing for the wedding. ”
Xiao Lingyan also knows that now is different from some time ago. Some time ago, the crown prince and the third prince were idle and had nothing to do, which made people unhappy, so they wanted to embarrass Zhao Ruxi. Now what they want to get rid of most is the other party and the second, fourth, and fifth princes, not Zhao Ruxi. If he came to pick up Zhao Ruxi, it would put Zhao Ruxi in danger.
He didn't insist anymore, returned to Beijing that night, reported to the emperor, and asked the emperor to leave.
Given that Zhao Ruxi had been assassinated, this request was reasonable, and the emperor sent twenty imperial guards to escort Zhao Ruxi back to Beijing.
Zhao Ruxi originally didn't want to take the Zhu family back to Beijing, and kept persuading her to go to Gusu for the New Year, saying that without her Zhang Luo, her grandmother would not be comfortable for the New Year.
But where is the Zhu family willing to leave her daughter and go back to Beijing alone to guard the big mansion, and go to Gusu to accompany her mother-in-law, husband, and son? Even if she is willing, the group of people who want to come to Gusu will not agree.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for a lifetime, she knows that in the eyes of the old lady, Zhao Ruxi, the future princess, is more important than her most beloved son and grandson combined.
Sure enough, she asked someone to bring a letter to Gusu to ask, not only did the old lady agree that she would not go to Gusu, but she also planned to take her grandson back to Beijing for the New Year.
As for his son Zhao Yuanxun, it doesn't matter, who calls him less important than his granddaughter.
Zhao Ruxi couldn't convince his mother and grandmother, and he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to let them return to Beijing.
The old lady took Zhao Jingtai to Nanyang for a few nights, and when the imperial guards sent by the emperor came, the group went all the way back to Beijing.
People are far from fragrant and near smelly. When Zhao Yuanliang was not separated, he had a cold relationship with his mother-in-law before, and he had a general relationship with the big house. But now that the family is separated, the big house is gone, and he feels that he has no support, and he misses his mother-in-law, eldest brother, and sister-in-law very much.
Therefore, when the old lady returned to Beijing with Zhu and Zhao Ruxi, not only the third room was happy, but the people in the second room were also very happy. Zhao Yuanliang waited at the gate of the city with his two sons early and sent the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren back to Suiping Bofu.
"Ouch, I'm finally home." The old lady sat down in her usual seat, looked at the familiar room, and sighed.
"Congratulations, old lady." Su Shi smiled, "I really didn't expect that there would be a princess in our family." ”
"Haha, isn't it? That kid was so promising. The old lady laughed.
In the past, she and Su Shi didn't deal with each other at all, and they couldn't get used to each other. Later, Zhao Yuankun died, and the Su family often brought their children to ask for peace, intending to flatter and please the old lady, and the old lady also took pity on her widow who was unemployed and raised two children.
Back in the house, Zhu and Zhao Ruxi went back to their yard to take a bath and rest, and Su stayed with the old lady to wait for her mother-in-law.
Let the maid wait for the old lady to take a bath, she arranged a table of food, and asked people to send it to Zhu, Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Jingtai, so she sat at the table and served the old lady vegetables.
The old lady asked about the situation in the capital, and Su Shi talked about the marriage of familiar people, and said: "There are several families who don't know what has happened, those who have been removed from their posts have been dismissed, and those who have been raided have been raided. Recently, I always feel that the capital is a little chaotic. ”
As a housewife and a widow, she doesn't socialize much with other people, and she doesn't care about the outside world. If she hadn't gone back to her parents' house and listened to her father and brother, she wouldn't have known about these situations. It's just a casual remark at this point.
The old lady used to be the same as the Su family. It's just that after Zhao Ruxi repeatedly mentioned it, now she also has some political sensitivity, and when she heard Su's words, she chuckled in her heart, and secretly remembered it in her heart, planning to wait for Zhao Ruxi to ask when he was free.
Su's topic returned to the parents: "The four girls and the six girls in the second room have secretly gone to be concubines." The six girls are okay, they haven't come back since they entered the Jingping Palace, and they haven't sent anyone back to ask for things. It's the four girls, and they came back cheekily to ask her father and brother Li for a dowry. The second uncle and Brother Li were so angry, but they still gave some. ”
"That girl is a faceless and skinless girl. You're back, Sister Xi is back to get married, and she will come to the door to fight the autumn breeze in two days. ”
The old lady's brow furrowed.
"She went to be a concubine for others, and she lost a big face to our Zhao family, but she still had the face to come back and ask for things. If it was I, I would have a big stick to shoot it out. Give her a dowry, accustomed to her. ”
"Not really." Su Shi agreed, "The second uncle is a habitual child, and Brother Li'er is still young after all. A man wants face again, and he can't pull his face down to refuse, so isn't it up to her to make trouble? If you don't get used to her, she won't dare to come to the door. ”
Zhao Rurui went to her door, probably to ask her for something, but Su directly called the porter to stop her back, and didn't even let her enter the door.
The Su family felt that Zhao Rurui was a concubine and disgraced the family. When her daughter grows up and says that she is married, she has two cousins who are concubines, and they all have to be disliked. So she hates Zhao Rurui so much, where will she give her things?
