Chapter Forty-Nine: Unexpected Joy

The rain was heavier than before, and it gradually became a torrential trend.

Zhao Chengyan sat upright like that, and his eyes fell on Zhao Ying like an abyss, and he didn't move away for a long time.

Zhao Ying listened to the sound of the rain ticking outside the house, and her heart became upset.

On the day she died, there was a roar of thunder and a pouring rain, as if God was crying for her and couldn't hold back her tears.

She hates rainy days.

Zhao Ying raised her hand to rub her temples and temples, she had a headache because of the sound of the rain, and her eyes were withdrawn from Zhao Chengyan, she paced to the side and sat down, and simply broke the jar: "Since Uncle Huang knows everything, do you have to ask me again, listen to me in person?" ”

Like an enraged little beast, showing its fangs and sharp claws, it is meant to hurt people.

Zhao Chengyan straightened his cuffs unhurriedly: "Remember what I asked you last time in the palace?" ”

- In this life, do you live for others, or only for yourself?

Most of the irritability in Zhao Ying's heart subsided inexplicably, she sat there, holding on, holding on to one side, and looked over again: "Uncle Huang doesn't scold me?" ”

Zhao Chengyan smiled: "No wonder you look like this, I thought I called you to listen to the training." ”

He paused in his voice, thought of something, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "So Song Yunjia came in the rain, but you didn't see you?" ”

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and the momentum she had previously put out weakened: "My cousin always likes to preach, I don't want to listen." ”

She didn't open her eyes, but Zhao Chengyan knew it in her heart.

The child of the Song family was simply the most pedantic among the junior children he had seen.

This is the case with the family, he is the most outstanding one among the younger generations of the Song family, don't say that his father and uncle, I am afraid that even the queen mother will point to him to the lintel of the Song family.

It is not surprising that such a child is raised like this.

Foolish and pedantic but will not make a big mistake, he will go down step by step all his life, he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the entire Song family stands behind him, as long as he goes down steadily, are you afraid of the day when there is no extremely human minister?

"Since you have a heart for government affairs, what books have you been reading lately?"

The topic changed quickly enough.

Zhao Ying's eyelashes flashed: "I flipped through the "Three Kingdoms" for a while earlier, and then read "Anti-Scripture" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" this time. ”

Zhao Chengyan asked casually, she answered seriously, and he casually raised his eyes to look: "Can you read it?" ”

Her little face turned red again.

He saw it in his eyes, just smiled, and waved her again: "You go, reading is gradual, but you are anxious and anxious at the moment, and you may not listen to my advice. ”

It was a bonus.

In fact, she had read these books before.

She is smart, she learns everything quickly, she was just greedy for fun when she was young, as a princess, she doesn't need to read this kind of book, and then she pondered that there are doormen and strategists in the princess's house, not to mention that her concubine is still a famous talent in the capital, so naturally there is nothing she doesn't understand.

But since Zhao Chengyan has relieved this mouth, it is more convenient for her to ask for advice in the government and politics in the future, and even ask him to come forward to help.

And Zhao Chengyan's attitude towards her participation in politics is not as resistant as Song Yunjia, which is the most gratifying thing.

The warmth in Zhao Ying's eyes was like the splendor of the spring returning to the earth in March, and when she stood up and bowed, she only said good and obedient words to flatter him, and when the flattery was over, she was about to retreat out of the door after listening to his instructions.

After walking about three or five steps, Zhao Chengyan's voice sounded again, and he said two words: "That's right." ”

Zhao Ying subconsciously turned her head: "Uncle Huang still has something?" ”

"I'll arrange for you to see Shen Mingren the day after tomorrow and tell you in advance."

The smile in Zhao Ying's eyes disappeared visibly, and at that moment, what entered Zhao Chengyan's eyes was a chill that soaked into the bone marrow, with a devastating momentum, almost pouring out.

But in the blink of an eye, she collected it all.

It's like that day, when the afterglow of the sunset shrouded the entire palace city, a thin golden light sprinkled on her, he looked down and looked sideways, and there was clearly a moment when all the emotions in her heart could no longer be hidden, but she restrained and forbeared, and collected everything under the palace wall, and no one could dig it out.

Zhao Chengyan was slightly stunned: "Shen Mingren really didn't offend you?" ”

He blurted out the question.

On weekdays, this should be regarded as nosy, and His Royal Highness King Yan is the least accustomed to meddling with other people's affairs.

The resentment and hatred in his previous life naturally couldn't be said to Zhao Chengyan, and Zhao Ying really didn't have much contact with Shen Mingren.

After getting married, she tried to understand the life experience of her concubine - Shen Mingren is not the most favored child of the Shen family, and naturally he is not Shen Dianchen's favorite son, he has been raised in their hometown and state before the age of ten, and was only taken to Beijing by Shen Dianchen at the age of ten, and then studied hard, and it took six years to overpower his eldest brother and win the favor of Shen Dianchen, and it was also since he was sixteen years old that the name of the first noble son was called in Beijing.

But Zhao Ying knew that she couldn't fool Zhao Chengyan.

Last time in the palace, Zhao Chengyan asked her if she didn't like Shen Mingren, he must have seen something that day, and it was the same today.

Zhao Ying's face softened: "He didn't offend me, and I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't know him well." It's just that in the previous incident in the northwest, Mr. Shen Ge forced the imperial uncle to go to the northwest, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, as if the imperial uncle didn't go, it was heinous, I felt annoyed, so naturally I didn't want to see him. ”

Zhao Chengyan burst out laughing: "It's really child's talk." ”

But he thought about it for a while, and coaxed her very perfunctorily: "The queen mother still likes him, not to mention that he is young and promising, and he will meet people the day after tomorrow, don't go too far." His dad is his dad, he's him, remember? ”

Zhao Ying had a bitter face: "I can't fail to see him?" ”

"What do you say?"

That's probably not possible.

Yesterday when she entered the palace, the Queen Mother was urged, otherwise Zhao Chengyan would not have made a special trip to mention this matter.

Zhao Ying's little face collapsed: "No, the day after tomorrow, I promised Xue Xianting, and the day after tomorrow I will accompany him and his mother to Jiao, according to the footsteps, I am afraid that it will be evening when I come back from outside the city, it is not suitable to see Shen Mingren, Uncle Huang will help me change the time." ”

Zhao Chengyan was not interested in being a matchmaker, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother's urging, he wouldn't have bothered to meddle at all.

But Zhao Ying's decision to choose a colt has gradually emerged, and she is always so close to Xue Xianting, even he, a bystander, feels that it is not appropriate.

"You're not shy about it?"

Zhao Ying was taken aback: "With Xue Xianting? I've been playing with him since I was a child, what's there to avoid? ”

She was puzzled, so she asked back: "What's more, there are many times when the court comes to Japan to count on him, how can I avoid suspicion with him?" ”

She saw Zhao Chengyan's face slightly gloomy, thinking about what he would say next, she blinked, and had to seal his mouth first: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, I have my own proportions, and when I see Mrs. Hou of Guangning the day after tomorrow, I also know how to tell Mrs. Hou, Xue Xianting will not force me to do this, so don't worry about it." ”
