Chapter 108: Contradictions erupt

In her previous life, Zhao Wan was married at the age of sixteen.

At that time, the Liu family was favored, and although Emperor Zhaoning was inferior to Zhao Wan, he still pointed out a good marriage to her in Liu's face.

At least in Zhao Ying's memory, Zhao Wan's life after marriage was good.

However, Zhao Wan's concubine is not Xin Gong of Hejian Mansion.

After sending Du Zhiyi away, Zhao Ying sat in the main hall for a long time.

She can be said to know very little about the Hejian Xin.

Such a family is a heirloom wealth, so that people will not get involved in the court disputes, even if Tuien gets the Beijing officials and moves back to Beijing, as long as the Xin family doesn't want to, those people in the court don't dare to really do anything to them.

In the turbulence, but the whole body can escape.

Maybe Zhao Chengyan will know more, but he can't be counted on all.

Jiang Chengde is still somewhat restrained now, after all, the Liu family has just passed away, and Zhao Wanming can't mourn for her guilty mother, but the Jiang family will not force her to marry now, and she still has to do some superficial work, or wait for a year and a half before she can say family affairs for her.

She raised her voice and called Xu Yan, and the dark figure soon appeared in front of her, standing firmly without saying a word.

Zhao Ying was joking every time he saw Xu Yan, but he was in a bad mood today, and he was not interested, so he only ordered him in a muffled voice: "You send three or five people to Hejian Mansion." ”

Xu Yan thought for a moment: "Your Highness wants to check the Xin family?" ”

Zhao Ying rubbed her eyebrows and explained to him: "I don't want to be drowned by the saliva of the Yan officials, remember to tell them to be careful in Hejian Mansion and not to alarm the people of the Xin family." ”

Actually, it's really not right.

The grace of the Xin family is unique, no matter who sits on the high platform, as long as this country is still the Zhao family, the Xin family can maintain the glory of their family, anyway, there are imperial historians to help them speak.

"Your Royal Highness, what Du Sanlang said, there is not a single word, you will send someone to check the Xin family now, you are not afraid of 10,000 in case, you said that if you really alarm the people of the Xin family, this is ...... How to explain? ”

Xu Yan hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but persuade her.

He really wanted to tell Zhao Ying, otherwise he would discuss with King Yan first.

But what Zhao Ying was doing, he had some numbers, and what he said was in vain, so he swallowed those words back into his stomach.

"Confess what?" Zhao Ying smacked her tongue, her face was pale, "What do you mean now, am I afraid of the Xin family?" ”

"I just don't think Your Highness needs to cause trouble." Her face was pale, but Xu Yan's face did not change, "Jiang Chengde wants the second princess to marry Xin Gong, it also depends on whether the Xin family agrees, Xin Gong will be the lord in the future, he is now the age to talk about marriage, maybe the Xin family has already given him a good look, Jiang Chengde is just wishful thinking." ”

"That's why I asked you to check it?" Zhao Ying felt that her head hurt even more, "I didn't send someone to Hejian Mansion on impulse, and I didn't want to provoke the people of the Xin family."

But Xu Yan, what if Jiang Chengde wasn't wishful thinking?

You will also say that if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if he has already contacted Hejian Mansion in private and passed the Qi with the Xin family?

You told me not to be impulsive, did you want me to wait to see the day when my father decreed the marriage? ”

Her voice fell, and when she saw the corners of Xu Yan's mouth twitching, she raised her hand: "You don't have to tell me to talk to Uncle Huang about such a thing first, do I rely on Uncle Huang to live my life?" ”

At this point, Xu Yan is not good to persuade more.

Zhao Ying really admired him from the bottom of her heart, so she almost never spoke to him loudly.

He knew that this highness was rebellious in her bones, and he also knew that she had always disliked to listen to repeated persuasions.

She made the decision and handed it over, and the people below just did it.

Whether it is Gong E who is serving by her side, or Zhou Yan and Li Chongzhi and others.

Xu Yan has heard it with her own ears, even Song Huaiyong is not that exception, she just has a slightly softer attitude.

He shut down, remembered Zhao Ying's previous words in his heart, and quickly disappeared in front of Zhao Ying's eyes.

Zhao Ying thought about it again and again, although she didn't expect Zhao Chengyan to come up with an idea about this matter, but it didn't hurt to inform him, besides, it would take time to send someone to Hejian Mansion, and she really needed to get more news about the Xin family from Zhao Chengyan now.

She is acting now, and Zhao Chengyan doesn't ask most of them.

Therefore, even if Du Zhiyi came to discuss with her, Zhao Chengyan did not think of getting involved.

Du Zhiyi knew that he had left the house, but when he counted the hours, the little girl sat in the main hall for half an hour.

It took her half a day to go and come back.

The scroll in Zhao Chengyan's hand has never been turned again.

When she returned to his study, there was still only Changting waiting outside.

When he saw her, he turned sideways and invited her in, and continued to be his "door god".

Zhao Chengyan looked at her face carefully, thought for a moment, and then took back the words that came to his mouth.

Zhao Ying still had a scowling face, her face was tense, and she sat down and stared at him intently.

She watched it for a long time, and Zhao Chengyan was uncomfortable, so she frowned and asked her, "What are you staring at me?" ”

She shook her head: "I thought Uncle Huang would be in a hurry to ask me what happened." ”

"Didn't you come to the study to see me? You don't need me to ask you. Zhao Chengyan nodded on the table, "Besides, you are not a three-year-old child, so you don't need me to remind you and take care of you all the time." ”

For Zhao Chengyan, Zhao Ying occasionally feels that she broke his originally peaceful life.

He used to be such a breezy person, maybe the life he hoped for was willing to follow the master on the altar of heaven, and sweep away the flowers with the immortals, but then a woman suddenly appeared, and she always wanted to pester him, coupled with various factors, it made it a situation where she had to help her today.

But that guilt was just for a moment.

In her previous life, she didn't know how many people's happy lives had been broken, and there was not one more Zhao Chengyan.

"Does Uncle Huang know much about the Hejian Mansion Xin Clan?"

Zhao Chengyan didn't say anything when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Zhao Ying's body when his eyebrows moved slightly.

Zhao Ying noticed his gaze and sighed slightly: "Du Zhiyi said that the news he only heard yesterday that Shen Mingren was just a cover for the Jiang family to push in front of people, and what Jiang Chengde really liked was Xin Gongxin, the sixth lang of the Xin family in Hejian Mansion.

I think this matter is important, but I really don't know much about the Xin family in Hejian Mansion, and I don't hide it from Uncle Huang, so I have already explained to Xu Yan and asked him to send someone to Hejian Mansion to check on the affairs of the Xin family. ”

"Let people know that you are secretly investigating the Xin family, this is your sin of disrespecting Empress Xiaowen." Zhao Chengyan's expression was not very good, and he glanced at her coldly, "Are you calling the impeachment of the official not enough?" ”

Zhao Ying hurriedly shook his head again: "I told Xu Yan to be careful, don't alarm the Xin family, it's really going to be alarmed, and then think of countermeasures when the matter comes, it's a big deal to punish me to kowtow to the spirit of Queen Xiaowen and admit my mistakes."

At the end of the day, the problem is not mine.

Jiang Chengde doesn't fight the Xin family's idea, am I full enough to provoke the Xin family?

When the time comes, go to my father and cry, but it will seem that our sister and brother are pitiful, and it may not be completely bad, don't worry about this, uncle. ”

He had only just asked, and she always had a cart waiting to reply to him.

Zhao Chengyan gasped heavily, obviously a little unhappy.

Zhao Ying pursed the corners of her lips: "Uncle Huang is angry with me?" ”

"There's a sentence I want to ask you."

He didn't answer the rhetorical question, and asked Zhao Ying to sit up straight subconsciously.

Her back was tense, and her body was no longer so straight.

Zhao Chengyan's tone was not as gentle as he had been in the past, and in addition to being serious, he could really hear a trace of anger.

It's just that Zhao Ying doesn't quite understand, what did she say just now annoy him?

She squinted: "Uncle Huang has something to ask me, of course I know everything, but you are so serious and serious, do you scare me plainly?" ”

Zhao Chengyan sneered: "Zhao Ying, in your heart, what is the throne?" ”

What is the throne?

Hold the power of life and death, and judge life and death.

Ninety-five supreme, the four seas are ministers.

But obviously this was not the answer Zhao Chengyan wanted to hear, and Zhao Ying even had a hard time figuring out why he had asked this question, and what kind of answer he wanted to hear from her mouth in a very short time.

So she simply kept silent.

Sure enough, Zhao Chengyan smiled and was cold: "This is what you said to know everything?" ”

"Uncle Huang's question was asked suddenly, I never thought about it, how can I answer you?"

"You never thought that you would dare to tell me that you want to be the crown princess?" Zhao Chengyan's hand, which had been on the desk, clenched into a fist little by little.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath: "Uncle Huang has something to say, why don't you say it directly?" ”

"I watch you act, most of the time you are thoughtful, not a foolish person who looks forward to the future, but sometimes-" His voice paused, and the coldness in his eyes turned into scrutiny, "There are things that you know you can't do, and every time I ask you about your worst plans, you tell me that it's not a big deal to have a coquettish affair with your father and the emperor, and to cry." ”

His voice was still cold: "Then why don't you go to the Qingning Palace now and kneel down and beg your father and the emperor, so that he can make the next edict and make you the crown princess?" ”

Zhao Yinger breathed a sigh of relief.

She understood.

But she felt quite wronged.

She even felt that Zhao Chengyan might have a bad brain.

When she is happy, she is a child, casually spoiled, and when she is unhappy, she will only get what she wants by being coquettish?

What's wrong with that.

Zhao Ying was also angry, her chest rose and fell, and Zhao Chengyan saw it clearly: "Do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

Her pointed chin was raised high: "Of course what you said is not right. ”

So he raised his eyebrows and said nothing, giving her enough room to discern.

Such a high-spirited style, she really rarely sees it in Zhao Chengyan, but he is actually handy in doing it, in the end, he is from a noble background, and the majesty and nobility of the heavenly family are engraved in his bones.

Zhao Ying sneered in her heart, of course, she didn't deliberately press it on her face, and brought out a few points: "It's not the first time I've said such a thing, I've said it before, and I've really done it, be coquettish, cry, many things can pass, why did Uncle Huang ask me this time?" ”

He still didn't speak.

Zhao Ying gritted her back teeth: "As Uncle Huang said, I have ambitions, and I should also rely on my own hard work to earn a good future, if I can only be coquettish and stupid, even if I can succeed in the future, I will definitely not be able to be a good emperor."

But I would like to ask Uncle Huang, my father dotes on me, and I use his love and partiality for me to get what I can, is there anything wrong with that?

Even if I ascend the throne as emperor in the coming day, isn't that the truth?

For the monarch to check and balance the court, know how to make good use of people, and use people without doubt, in order to open the rule of the prosperous world.

Knowing how to make good use of people and I am now coquettish and stupid, in the final analysis, is there any problem? ”

That is the advantage she holds firmly in her hands, she can control at any time, anywhere, at will, there is no problem in the first place.

But her attitude made Zhao Chengyan dislike.

It was because his cold face was not alleviated by her words, and the coldness that had just faded slightly under his eyes was filled again: "Just because you always think like this in your heart, you dare to act perversely and recklessly, once such a habit is formed, can you still change it?"

Take a step back and say, in the future, you will get what you want, and when you become the crown princess, you will always have to supervise the country, and then in the future, wait for your father Emperor Long to control Bintian, and you will be the emperor -

You are right, all people of insight in the world should be owned by the court, owned by you, and everyone is your chess.

The chessboard is in front of you, and no matter how you land, you can't jump out of your game.

But what if there really is a mistake?

Zhao Ying, from ancient times to the present, how many dynasties have changed, and the rivers and mountains have rotated, the truth is not necessarily eternal, but it is not necessarily that all of them are the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty, right? ”

This is because she is afraid that she will be a dumb monarch in the future, or even a dead monarch.

"I see what you mean, but you seem to have forgotten what I told you."

Zhao Ying slowly stood up and bowed to Zhao Chengyan Yingying: "Before I took charge of the courtyard, I only had the favor of my father.

Now, although I am an official residence, my foundation is not deep, and I cannot stand firm in the court.

So I am no different from me before, I still only have the favor of my father.

Uncle Huang, you are afraid that I will act like this, and I will be obedient in the future, not to mention being a good emperor, I may not even be worthy of being an emperor, I told you that I won't, do you believe me? ”

She laughed, the corners of her lips didn't really raise the arc, her breath was clear, and her eyes were even more indifferent: "If I were like Zhao Qing or Zhao Cheng, with the support of such relatives, and when I encountered a big event, I wouldn't think of going to Qingning Hall to cry."

can be a gentleman and be frank, who is willing to bear the infamy and learn to act as a villain! ”

She turned her head to leave, Zhao Chengyan's mind flashed, and she called out to her the moment she opened her legs: "Yuan Yuan." ”

Zhao Ying's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back: "When Uncle Huang is in a good mood, I am Zhao Yuanyuan, and I am not in a happy mood for a day, or if a sentence stimulates you, I am just Zhao Ying, which is really boring." ”

She threw out word by word, and when she was done, she walked out without looking back.

Zhao Chengyan knew that he probably took the wrong medicine today and stimulated the little girl.

Just now...... I don't know what to think.

Xu thought of the Song family, remembered her background, for no reason, a lot of thoughts flashed in her mind, and finally mixed together, shouting, shouting, she should have stayed away from Emperor Zhaoning, instead of treating him as a loving father, she was wronged and in trouble, and always wanted to go to him to be coquettish and ask for help.

So those words blurted out......

"You don't ...... about the Xin clan in Hejian Mansion"

"I'll figure it out myself, don't bother Uncle Huang."
