Chapter 56: A Shocking Secret!
After coming out of the main hall, Zhao Yuru walked complacently on the way out of the palace with a heavy gold in his hand. Song Moqing turned her head to look at her and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing!" He shook his head.
"Do you think I'm a philistine?" Zhao Yuru stepped forward and said, "It's okay, to be honest!" β
"No, no, no!" Song Moqing waved his hand, looked at Zhao Yuru's appearance, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"I just think that Miss Zhao's appearance is really cute!"
I'm afraid that I will never see a young lady from an official family again, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, who will hold fifty taels of gold and smile from ear to ear.
Zhao Yuru licked his lips and said, "Actually, in the past, I really didn't care about these fifty taels!" But now it's different from the past, I'm a good man, fifty taels is my lifeline! β
Song Moqing echoed with a smile, Zhao Yuru felt a little strange, he hadn't heard any news from Yan Linjun recently.
"That, where has King Huaiyang gone, I haven't seen him have a banquet recently, and I haven't heard from him."
"Don't you know Mr. Zhao?"
"Know what?" Zhao Yuru is in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing every day, what can she understand.
"The prince went to Gwangju!"
"Gwangju? What to do so far away? β
"Go and buy some of the things you need for the post-closure ceremony."
Zhao Yuru was puzzled for a while, there is nothing missing in Shangjing, what is there that needs to be bought in Gwangju?
Seeing Zhao Yuru's dazed appearance, Song Moqing was also stunned.
"Miss Zhao, don't you really know? Over the years, after the establishment of Dayan, he had to go to the Cheonhou Temple in Gwangju to ask for a pearl that had been enshrined for many years and put it on the crown. It is said that this process is not easy, so every time it is a brave and good fighter who sends Dayan to get it. When the first queen was the queen, it was the pearl that Ling Zun personally went to Gwangju to get it! β
"My dad?" Zhao Yuru shook his head, immediately patted his head and said, "Yes, it's really an eye for money, and I can't take care of anything!" Yes yes, I remembered, it was Pearl! She smiled reluctantly and walked briskly with the gold in her arms.
Song Moqing was honest and didn't doubt Zhao Yuru's behavior, but followed her step by step.
The two walked through a garden and saw that Princess Suyin, who had just been in the main hall, was happily holding butterflies, and there was an older girl beside her, playing with her.
The child's laughter came, and Zhao Yuru also stopped for a while. Among the flowers, innocent children and carefree laughter are really enviable.
Under the shade of the tree on the other side sat a woman in a blue palace dress, she looked elegant and beautiful, and her temperament was outstanding!
"Who is this?" Zhao Yuru turned his head and asked.
Song Moqing had rarely seen those ladies in the harem, shook her head and said, "The other girl should be Princess Zhaoyue, so Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Then she may be Concubine Lan's mother! β
"No, I've seen Concubine Lan, she doesn't look like this!"
At this time, the woman also saw the two of them, and a palace maid stepped forward, saluted the two of them and said, "Our master asks the head of the sect and the champion to come over and talk!" β
"Who is your master?" Zhao Yuru asked tentatively.
"Our master is Concubine Wang!"
"Concubine?" Zhao Yuru and Song Moqing were stunned, so young, they were actually concubines? Oh my God, the old emperor is such a tyrannical thing!
The concubine was invited, so they naturally had to step forward obediently.
"Weichen see Concubine Wang!"
"Get up!" Concubine Wang waved her hand, and then the eunuch brought two chairs, and they sat down obediently.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao and Zhuang Yuanlang entered the palace today, and they met here, it's really fate!"
"Yes, it's a blessing for us!" Zhao Yuru said with a smile: "Niangniang is playing with the little princess?" β
"Hmm!" Concubine Wang nodded and said, "The days in the palace are boring, so take these two little girls to pass the time!" β
Zhao Yuru looked at this concubine and felt that she was not much older than herself, that is, when the old emperor died, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
What a wickedness!
She shook her head, and the concubine gossiped with her and Song Moqing for a while, but Zhao Yuru knew very little about this concubine, so she didn't dare to accept it indiscriminately, and it would be bad to show her feet later.
"! Look at my little flower! Princess Suyin ran all the way, threw herself into the concubine's arms, and held up the flower in her hand and handed it to her.
"Oops, that's pretty!" Concubine Wang smiled, hugged the princess and said, "Is it okay to help the princess put it on?" β
"Good!" The little princess nodded, and stretched out her hand to stick the flowers on her head. Zhao Yuru smiled shallowly, this scene was really harmonious.
Concubine Wang was widowed young, and Princess Suyin lost her mother at a young age. These two people are together, and they can be regarded as having a support in this huge harem!
Because the princess kept stretching out her hand, her sleeves slipped down, and a birthmark on her arm caught Zhao Yuru's attention.
That birthmark, why is it so familiar?
Zhao Yuru tilted his head, but he couldn't remember it at a critical time.
After putting on the flowers, Concubine Wang smiled and touched Princess Suyin's face. At this time, the princess turned her head to look at Zhao Yuru, and suddenly pounced.
Zhao Yuru looked at this little girl a little unexpectedly, the two of you, you look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing in an instant.
"I like you!" Princess Suyin said childishly: "Can you often come and play with me?" β
In the face of this sudden "favor", Zhao Yuru was really flattered. Unexpectedly, this round face and this charm?
"Su'er, Mr. Zhao is a big hero who defends the country, she can't come into the palace every day to accompany you!" Concubine Wang said gently: "If you are free, the lady will let her accompany you!" β
"Wow, you're a big hero!" Princess Suyin clapped her hands and said, "I'm going to tell my sister that I've seen a big hero!" β
With that, she jumped away from Zhao Yuru.
Concubine Wang was full of smiles, she glanced at Zhao Yuru, and said slowly: "It's really rare for this child to fall in love with you!" On weekdays, if others hug her, she will not do it! β
"The princess is cute, anyone who sees it will like it!"
Concubine Wang smiled and didn't say anything, just watched the children play closely.
Zhao Yuru also looked over, Princess Zhaoyue also wore pigtails, but it was very similar to Yan Linyu in the past. It's like tying a man's hair in a bun, just like him when he was a child.
On the other hand, Princess Suyin is not so similar!
Suddenly, Zhao Yuru's smile disappeared and was replaced by a somewhat panicked expression!
"The crab roe crisp in my palace has always been good, do you want to try it?" Concubine Wang was about to order someone to bring snacks, Zhao Yuru eagerly pulled Song Moqing to stand up, then looked at Concubine Wang and said, "Concubine Niangniang, I'm sorry, Weichen still has some important matters to deal with, and I can't continue to talk with Concubine Niangniang!" β
Concubine Wang didn't mind much in the face of her rude behavior, she just nodded and said, "Look, blame me, national affairs are important!" Go ahead! This snack is packed and sent out to you! β
"Thank you, Lady Lady!" Zhao Yuru saluted and pulled Song Moqing away quickly.
Seeing that they were gone, Concubine Wang threw the snacks in her hand on the tray with some boredom and sighed softly.
The maid on the side stepped forward, looked at their departing backs, and said with some concern: "Niangniang, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to let Sect Chief Zhao look at the princess so closely?" β
"Bengu just wants her to see clearly, those things they don't know!" Concubine Wang showed a smug smile, then looked at the two princesses in the distance, stood up and played with them.
Song Moqing didn't understand Zhao Yuru's actions, so she followed her all the way out of the palace gate for some reason, and then got into the carriage.
"Miss Zhao, what's the matter? I see that your face is not very good! β
"It's not good! Very bad! Zhao Yuru bit her lip, looked at Song Moqing and said, "I'm going to Qinyunju, I'll put you down on the side of the road, and you can go back by yourself!" β
Song Moqing was stunned, it seems that the matter is very serious!
"Good!" But Song Moqing didn't say much, and got out of the car at an intersection. Zhao Yuru didn't even explain a word, and left in a hurry in the carriage.
"What's the matter?" Song Moqing was a little confused, he turned around, only to find that the place where he was far away from the Zhuangyuan Mansion.
"Oops, this Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Forget it, let's go back! Song Moqing showed a wry smile and slowly walked towards the Zhuangyuan Mansion.
The carriage stopped outside Qinyunju, and before it could stop, Zhao Yuru jumped out of the carriage and walked in quickly.
In broad daylight, Qinyunju had not yet opened, and the old bustard walked down sleepily, and when he saw Zhao Yuru, he showed a helpless expression.
"I said Mr. Zhao, why are you here again?" The old bustard said unhappily: "In this broad daylight, you can wait until we all wake up before coming!" β
"Anyway, Lin Yufu is awake!" She pushed the bustard away and walked directly to Lin Yufu's room.
Lin Yufu is actually sleepy, although her own work and rest time is different from the girls in the building, but she has no choice but to have her room in this Qinyun Ju, and she can't sleep well this night. It's been a few days in a row and I can't get up early to do a set of boxing.
Today, when I got up, I saw Zhao Yuru who broke in.
Xincha, who was waiting for her to wash her face, was also startled, and covered her heart and said, "Mr. Zhao, why did you come here in broad daylight?" β
"In broad daylight? It's almost afternoon! β
"yes, girls don't want to take a nap?" Xincha glanced at it, but still obediently packed up her things and walked out.
Lin Yufu yawned, looked at Zhao Yuru and said, "How did you live your previous days?" It's only been a few days, and I feel like I'm tired and dizzy! I really don't blame your body for being so bad, I can't bear it anymore when I turn day and night upside down like this! β
"That's how the girls in our building live!" Zhao Yuru ignored her, walked to her and sat down, staring at Lin Yufu without saying a word.
It was the first time for Lin Yufu to see Zhao Yuru's serious face, she was a little sober, and asked puzzledly, "Is there something wrong?" Why are you looking at me like that? β
"You're in a big deal!"
"Huh?" Seeing that what Zhao Yuru said was serious, Lin Yufu hurriedly sat up straight.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with our family? But what happened to my dad and my brother? β
"It's okay for the time being, but after a long time, I don't know if it's going to be okay!" Zhao Yuru rolled her eyes, looked at Lin Yufu and said, "Do you remember the last time I asked you, do your brother and Princess An Guo have a skin-to-skin relationship?" β
"Why are you still struggling with this? My brother he didn't answer! β
"That's because, they slept!" Zhao Yuru lowered his voice and said, "I will enter the palace today and interpret the couplet for the emperor." And guess what, let me discover a big secret! β
Lin Yufu's mind was empty for a few seconds, Zhao Yujing and Princess An Guo had a skin-to-skin relationship?
"I met Princess Whisper, you know? It's the child who was born in a beautiful place! β
"I know, but I rarely see two little princesses on weekdays!"
Zhao Yuru took a deep breath and thought for a while, not knowing how to tell Lin Yufu about what she had discovered.
"Oh, what are you doing in a daze?" Lin Yufu was also a little anxious when she saw that she was halfway through her. He shook her shoulder and said, "What the hell are you trying to say?" β
"I found out that Princess Suyin looks very similar to your brother! Also, is there a birthmark on your brother's arm? β
After hearing this, Lin Yufu's mind instantly exploded!
"What did you say?"
"That's a birthmark!" Zhao Yuru reached out and dipped some tea in the cup, and then drew the general shape of a birthmark on the table. At this time, Lin Yufu's heart sank, and she looked at Zhao Yuru in disbelief.
"YouΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Did you see this birthmark on the princess? β
"Yes! Absolutely true! I didn't care about it at first, but then I saw her playing there, and she smiled exactly like your brother! Zhao Yuru took a sip of water and said, "Hey, you say, the princess has grown up, what should I do?" When the time comes, your brother and the eldest princess have fornication, this crime is enough to cut off the head, right? β
Lin Yufu was also a little messy, she didn't expect things to be like this, in this case, why didn't her brother ask to marry the princess in the first place? The status of their family is not unworthy!
"Why, why is Big Brother doing this?" Lin Yufu said in disbelief: "How good is this, if you know, I'm afraid it will be connected to the nine clans!" β
"What?" Zhao Yuru immediately stood up, looked at her and said, "Zhulian Nine Clans? Is there a mistake? I'm miserable enough for you to change into! And a life? No way! Absolutely not! β
"Don't worry!" Lin Yufu frowned and said, "Isn't it true that the matter hasn't been revealed yet?" Besides, Princess Suyin can be raised in the palace, and she is also recognized as the emperor's daughter, which shows that the emperor knows about it! We haven't known for so many years, which shows that the emperor doesn't want us to know! Now let's just pretend we don't know! β
"Don't know? But princesses will always grow up, and what if they grow up and become more and more like your brother? β
"Raised in the deep boudoir, you will never come out and show your head!" Lin Yufu bit her lip and said.
"But do you really think you can't let your brother know about this?"
Lin Yufu let out a long sigh, now her mind is also very messy, and she doesn't understand what to do.
Zhao Yuru sat paralyzed aside, originally holding a big secret in his heart, which was uncomfortable enough. Now I have a big stone in my heart! Thinking that I could be beheaded at any time, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well at night!
The two of them sat opposite each other like this, you look at me, and I watched yours until nightfall. Seeing that the number of people in Qinyunju gradually increased, Zhao Yuru reluctantly left here.
Now she feels that Zhao Mansion is a tiger's mouth! She walked in, and there was basically no return!
Back home, they had already finished dinner. Tian sat at the dinner table, still waiting for her.
"Little sister is back!" She smiled and stood up to meet her and said, "Have you eaten?" I keep the kitchen hot all the time! β
"Not yet!" Where does Zhao have an appetite when he is like this.
"Then I'll get someone!"
"No need!" Zhao Yuru waved his hand and said, "I don't have much appetite now!" β
"Don't have an appetite? But sick? Tian touched her forehead with concern, and then said, "It's okay, is it a bad day?" β
"No, I just don't want to eat it!"
"Then sister-in-law go and make you some snacks, your favorite persimmon cake!" After saying that, Tian was about to go to the kitchen.
Looking at the virtuous sister-in-law, Zhao Yuru didn't feel good in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I don't eat!" She took Tian's hand and said, "Can you talk to me?" β
Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, what?" Are you going to get married, and some daughters want to tell their sisters-in-law? β
"YesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Oh, yes! She smiled and said, "I want to know, what kind of mood was my sister-in-law in when she married my brother?" β
When Tian heard this, his face turned red, and he sat down and said, "What other mood can you have?" Although I married your brother, my family fell into the middle of the road and both parents died. Your brother is willing to ask me, and I am naturally grateful. I just want to be filial to my in-laws in the future, take care of my little sister, give birth to a few more children for my father-in-law, and spread the branches and leaves for the Zhao family. As she spoke, she touched her face and said, "Oh, what are you talking about." Little sister, you are married, and there are no in-laws above, and Zhuang Yuanlang is also a good-natured person. You guys live a good life in the future, don't bully others! β
"How could I bully him!" Zhao Yuru sneered and said, "Then haven't you seen my brother before?" β
"I saw it once when I was a kid. Later, my parents died, and I was helpless, so my father took me to the mansion. At that time, he was about to get married, but he was in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and I lived in the guest room, so I was not too embarrassed to look for him! β
"Oh!" Zhao Yuru nodded, so the Tian family shouldn't know the story of Princess An Guo and his brother?
Just as she was silent, there was a sudden sound of slamming the door outside the door.
"What time is it?" Tian stood up and said, "Why are there still people coming to visit?" β
Zhao Yuru also felt strange, at this point on weekdays, the people in the Zhao Mansion were afraid that they all went to sleep!
"Open the door!" A woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Open the door! I'm the eldest princess of Anguo! β
