Du Ruo took Sun Zheng into Jingxi Palace, Sun Zheng still had no sense of timidity, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and strode forward to the palace.

"Cao Minsun upholds, meet the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the Emperor, and the Queen Mother."

Sun Zheng saluted the royal family in front of the palace, but ignored the Pei sisters. Pei Lin on the side was about to have a seizure, Princess Pei Jingqiu hurriedly coughed lightly, and then made another look, so that there was no seizure.

"You're a storyteller?" Xiao Qiyuan didn't know when he came out, and asked curiously beside Princess Ping, "What will you say?" ”

I glanced at Qi Yuan, saw that he was followed by a little eunuch, and guessed that Shi Cai should have taken him out to play. It's good to save him the face of his mother and aunt.

"He knows a lot, but today's story, you may be a little bored listening to it." I smiled lightly, reminding Qi Yuan, and at the same time reminding Pei Jingqiu. Pei Jingqiu was really not a fool, she lowered her head and comforted Qi Yuan: "Qi Yuan, you go out and play for a while." ”

"Let's go out to play, there's nothing fun in this harem." Qi Yuan pouted, pretending to be innocent and cute, "The child wants to listen to stories, want to hear stories." ”

"This ......" Pei Jingqiu looked at me hesitantly, and then glanced at the Queen Mother, and before the Queen Mother could speak, Emperor Qi Yan said: "Just let Qi Yuan listen to it, boring or not, he knows it himself." ”

I frowned, "Okay, Sun Zheng, you can talk about it." ”

"Yes, Queen."

Sun Zheng stood in front of the hall and began to talk about the book.

"What the grass people want to talk about this time is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law family affair that happened in the grass people's neighborhood. Caomin's neighbor has a wealthy businessman surnamed Jia, who has earned a net worth of 10 million because of his good business, but because he is not knowledgeable, he very much hopes that his descendants can get some pen and ink. For this reason, he deliberately spent a lot of money to go to the scholarly family to propose marriage, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was still literary and martial, but only the merchant was not Shangjia, and the rich businessman went to several places, and they all ate closed-door soup. At this time, a smart person pointed out the reason to him, it turned out that there was still a wife among the rich merchants, and now he married a scholarly family as a concubine, where would anyone be willing. If you want to marry a woman from a scholarly family, you naturally have to treat it as a lady.

When the rich businessman heard this, he felt that there was some truth, so he went home and immediately divorced his wife Qiao, and then went to propose marriage, and sure enough, this time he succeeded, and married a woman surnamed Li who was a little literary and went home to be his wife. After the Li family got started, she was very virtuous and virtuous, and Jia Fushang felt that he had finally found a talented woman and had a lot of face.

It's just that Li's relationship is not as transparent as Qiao's, which makes Jia Fushang very headache, and his mother-in-law also thinks that Li's poetry is right all day long, not as good as Qiao's, and often complains, not to mention that Li's has been in business for more than a year, and still has not added heirs.

When the wealthy merchant heard this, he felt that there was some reason, so he went home to discuss it with his mother, and her mother naturally agreed. Then he discussed with the Li family, but the Li family was unwilling. Jia Fushang suddenly became angry, asked him if he had been anywhere for a year, and he still had the face to disagree, so he beat the Li family, but he still made the decision and married a concubine Su Shi and returned home. After the Su family entered the mansion, she was really shrewd everywhere, and even the Li family, who didn't like her at first, gradually became harmonious. Jia Fushang thought that Li had figured it out, but he didn't expect that suddenly one day, the county commander led troops to break into his own mansion, saying that Jia Fushang bribed officials, sold illicit salt, and confiscated all his belongings. Jia Fushang shouted that he was wronged, but the Li family and the Su family showed all the account book evidence together, and Jia Fushang was dumbfounded.

Jia Fushang questioned Li and Su why they were like this, and Li complained that the rich merchant should not have set up his wife, and when he did not agree, he beat himself and married a concubine. Su Shi said that he had a favorite scholar, who could have flown like wings, but because of a rich businessman, he went to the mansion to be a concubine, and what was even more angry was that this person was still his cousin-in-law. Jia Fushang was immediately confused, and then Qiao Shi appeared from the door and told him that she had gone to the yamen to report his sale of illicit salt. Jia Fushang whined. He was arrested and put in prison. When his mother saw that her son had been arrested, she lost all her belongings, fell ill, and died depressed. ”

Sun Zhengzhen's story was finished, but the people in the hall did not react. I saw that no one squeaked, so I opened my mouth first.

"This wealthy businessman Jia is really a little self-inflicted, he wants too much, but in the end he has nothing left." I turned my head and looked at the Pei sisters, "But these women are quite ruthless, Princess Ping, Mrs. Pei, what do you think?" ”

"Then the Li family is so strange, it is my turn to take care of my husband's concubine, and I framed my husband because of this, I am really not a good wife." Pei Lin still didn't think about it after all, she wanted to prove that it was normal for the queen mother to choose a concubine for the emperor, and she insinuated that I shouldn't ask more, but she forgot that when the emperor wanted to take a concubine, she followed the queen mother's opinion, and in the end there was no concubine.

Princess Ping coughed lightly and motioned to Pei Lin to stop talking, but Pei Lin seemed to open the conversation box and continued: "The Su family is even more strange, and he still wants to elope with the scholar, how can such a rebellious act be justified......

"Okay, Lin'er, it's just a story, just listen to it, why take it seriously!" Pei Jingqiu diverted the conversation on the side, "This young man is very articulate, presumably in Da Zhou, he is also the number one person, right?" ”

Sun Zheng glanced at me, and saw that I didn't stop him, so he bowed and said: "Princess Huiping, the grass people are just a hobby, this time I came to Xinyue to look for the old man, and I happened to meet Her Royal Highness the princess on the way, so I came with me." ”

"I see." The Queen Mother continued to ask, "I don't know if the deceased person has been found?" ”

Sun Zheng shook his head, "I haven't found it." ”

"That's a bit of a pity." The Queen Mother looked deeply sympathetic, "Emperor, the mourning family is a little tired, so go back to the inner hall to rest first, if you are fine, ......"

"Okay, let's get out of here." Qi Yan stepped forward to salute, and I also stood up and saluted, and the Pei sisters and the palace servants also saluted one after another, sending the Queen Mother into the inner hall to rest.

After listening to the story, the Queen Mother also left, and my task was completed, and I came to the side of Emperor Qi Yan to salute.

"If there are no miscellaneous matters, the concubine will also take people back."

I got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qi Yan again.

"The queen stays, and she has something to say to you." Saying that, I walked out of the palace alone, I glanced at the Pei sisters on the side, they looked at me, bowed briefly, and quietly withdrew, only Qi Yuan asked Sun Zheng before leaving, "Who is that smart person!" ”

Sun Zheng bowed, blinked his eyes and said, "The prince can go back and guess." ”

I arranged for Du Ruo to send Sun Zheng out of the palace, and I took Cui Yun to follow Emperor Qi Yan to the imperial garden.

"Queen, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with Lone." Qi Yan didn't look at me, stood in the pavilion looking at a lake, and said leisurely alone, "Do you also want to take revenge on Lone?" ”

I smiled coldly, "Will His Majesty the Emperor still be dissatisfied with the concubines?" ”

Qi Yan also snorted coldly, "It seems that between you and me, it is really not your love for me." ”

"Maybe, but the concubine will definitely do her duty, no matter what His Majesty thinks of the concubine, in short, what the concubine does is for the good of the new moon and the good of the Great Zhou."

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, "Okay, let's not talk about this, what I want to ask is that Sun Zheng really met the queen by chance." ”

I nodded, and said nonchalantly: "What is there to hide, we met by chance halfway, I like to listen to books, he likes to tell stories, and he is on the same road, so naturally we will go all the way." ”

"You are the princess of Da Zhou, you are so casual......"

"What, do you suspect that I was deliberately approaching him? He's a storyteller, what's the purpose of me approaching him? ”

"You really don't know his identity?"

I shook my head and said with a smile: "Could it be that he is the lost prince?" ”

Qi Yan's face sank suddenly, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised, "He's really the prince?!" ”

"No, he's supposed to be a prince."
