Xuan Yue smiled gently and said, "Miss Zhao is polite, it's just a gesture." ”

Zhao Qianqian's little face became more and more red, but she was sharp and sharp on weekdays, but she couldn't say a word at this time. The two stood opposite each other for a while, and Xuan Yue noticed that the back of her hand was burned, and said guiltily: "Miss Zhao, why don't I accompany you to the medicine first?" ”

Zhao Qianqian came to her senses when she heard this, felt a hot pain on the back of her hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

The two left side by side, and began to laugh, but they didn't notice that a figure flashed behind the bamboo forest next to the two of them, moving quickly, and they couldn't see who that person was.

The General's Mansion was lively all day, and it was not until about midnight that all the guests were sent away.

Late at night, the Three Princes' Mansion was up. The study was brightly lit, and Xuan Lang's whole person was immersed in the candlelight, silent, and his face was extremely gloomy. Thinking of the scene he saw in the General's Mansion today, Xuan Lang's face was gloomy again.

He didn't know that Xuanyue and Zhao Qianqian still had the grace to save their lives.

"Your Highness, are you thinking about the Fifth Highness and Miss Zhao?" Wuying stood aside, and seeing that his face was not good, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Xuan Lang took a deep breath when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I didn't expect that Xuan Yue and Miss Zhao still have this friendship. ”

Now, Gu Jiuge hated him so much, and his plan to win over the General's Mansion through Gu Jiuge was completely overturned, so he set his sights on Zhao Qianqian. But now it seems that he is one step too late?

The General's Mansion has been famous for a hundred years, and if any force can get the help of the General's Mansion, it is equivalent to adding wings to its great cause. With such a big threat, Xuan Lang must not watch him happen.

Wuying thought for a while and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Your Highness has been weak and sickly, and it hasn't improved for so many years. And his biological mother is just a palace maid who was once favored, and it was not until he was sixteen years old that His Majesty announced to the world, so His Royal Highness really doesn't have to worry. ”

Xuan Lang still frowned when he heard this, of course he was not worried about what threat Xuan Yue's existence would pose to him. He just doesn't want to lose the big help of the General's Mansion anymore, and if he wants to win over the General's Mansion, Zhao Qianqian is the only way.

The night was getting darker, but Xuan Lang couldn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xuan Lang got up, he received a secret order from the palace that the queen wanted to see him.

After the early dynasty, he came to the queen's Weiyang Palace on the pretext of going to ask for peace.

He stood in the center of the hall and bowed his hand and said, "The son asks the queen mother for peace." ”

Hearing this, the queen hummed lightly and motioned for him to sit down, and then asked, "You went to the General's Mansion yesterday, do you know what the identity of that woman is?" ”

She sits in the palace, and there are many things that can only be investigated by Xuan Lang. As for her son Xuanqing, he is chanting poems and painting every day, and he is completely indifferent to the affairs of the court.

Xuan Lang said: "That woman is not from Wang Cheng, I heard that she is an orphan with no father and mother, she was rescued by the eldest lady of the Gu family when she was killed, and was sent to the general's mansion to repay the slaves. ”

When the queen heard this, her brows furrowed, she didn't expect Lin Luoshi to be a helpless woman. She originally planned to give her niece to Zhao Bingye in marriage, so as to win over the General's Mansion, but who knew that it was a step too late.

Seeing the queen like this, Xuan Lang knew very well what she was thinking.

"Queen Mother, there is another way for the sons to help the Queen Mother win over the General's Mansion." Xuan Lang got up and looked at the queen and whispered.

When the queen heard this, she became interested and asked, "What do you do?" Let's hear it. ”

Xuan Lang got up and said, "Miss Zhao has reached the age where she can give marriage. If Erchen can marry Miss Zhao, according to General Zhao's favor for this daughter, is the queen mother still worried that he will not be obedient? ”

This was his thought after careful consideration last night, since Gu Jiuge's path was impossible, then he could only find another way.

Hearing this, a look of disdain flashed on the queen's face, and she said angrily: "When you first talked about Gu Jiuge, you also persuaded the palace like this, but what was the result?" She Gu Jiuge has not become Princess Liang yet. ”

"What's more, you had such an ugly quarrel with Gu Qinglai some time ago, almost everyone knows it, do you think the people in the General's Mansion are stupid? How could they be willing to marry Zhao Qianqian to you? After that, the queen shook her hand impatiently, obviously disapproving of his method.

Xuan Lang heard her mention the matter between himself and Gu Qinglai, his face sank, and he returned to his position and sat down, not saying anything more.

After a long time, the queen suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Yes! Your methods are not useless! The queen was pleasantly surprised: "You have a bad reputation, if you ask to marry Zhao Qianqian, the people of the General's Mansion will naturally not agree, but if the palace hires her as a princess and gives him enough face in the General's Mansion, the two old guys who want to come to Zhao Gao and Zhao Hu will not refuse." ”

Xuan Lang frowned slightly after hearing this, but he still smiled on his face: "The queen mother is wise, but if she directly decrees marriage, it will be a little abrupt, I am afraid that General Zhao will not agree." ”

When the queen heard this, she remembered that she wanted to promise Gu Jiuge to Xuan Lang at her reception banquet, but she was rejected by Zhao Gao. Now, if she really asks for marriage without saying hello, then she will most likely be rejected, so it will be difficult to redeem it in the future.

After thinking for a moment, the queen said in a low voice: "This palace has its own success. ”

The next day, the queen used the red plum blossom in the palace as an excuse to summon the ladies in the royal city to enter the palace to accompany the plum blossoms, and Zhao Qianqian was naturally among them.

The queen ordered people to set up a banquet in the warm pavilion, the warm pavilion is high, you can very well take the scenery of the imperial garden into the eyes, there is a heater in the pavilion, but it will not be cold.

In order not to make her intentions so obvious, the queen summoned many people to accompany her, and even Xuan Yue, who she usually didn't look at, was also summoned.

In the warm pavilion, the ladies who had good friends gathered together in twos and threes, and Zhao Qianqian naturally stayed with Gu Jiuge and others.

"Miss Zhao, our mother saw that you were wearing thin clothes, and the special slave sent a hand stove over." Zhao Qianqian was talking and laughing with Gu Jiuge and the others, when she saw Mama Hu, who was waiting beside the queen, coming over, holding a hand stove, looking at Zhao Qianqian and saying very respectfully.

Zhao Qianqian was a little flattered, took the hand stove with a stunned face, and thanked her again and again: "Mama Lao has treated me and thanked the queen." ”

Mama Hu smiled: "Miss Zhao is too polite, today's pastries are all prepared by our mother after special inquiry, and they are all what you like on weekdays, Miss." ”

Zhao Qianqian was even more stunned after hearing this, she and the queen have never had any friendship, why did the queen suddenly treat her so well. Hearing Mama Hu say this, it seems that today's flower-viewing banquet was specially prepared for her.

Mama Hu didn't say anything more, and returned to the queen after saluting. Zhao Qianqian looked in the direction of the queen, but saw her smiling at herself, with a lot of love.

Zhao Qianqian's head is a response.

"Cousin, don't you think the queen is very strange today?" Zhao Qianqian came to Gu Jiuge and sat down, looked at her and asked in a low voice.

Gu Jiuge didn't say anything when he heard this, but his face was a little unsightly. The queen was suddenly so attentive to Zhao Qianqian, and she could vaguely guess some of the reasons.

The banquet was opened, and everyone sat down in their positions, the queen seemed to be in a good mood today, so everyone present did not feel restrained, but the smile she threw at Zhao Qianqian from time to time would make people a little flustered.

Halfway through the banquet, Xuanqing got the queen's instructions in advance, the mother and son exchanged a look, and Xuanqing walked over to Zhao Qianqian with a pot of plum blossom stuffing. When everyone saw it, they probably had a guess in their hearts.

The queen said today that she invited the ladies to accompany her to enjoy the plum blossoms, but the real purpose should be to choose a concubine for the crown prince. Now that she looks, the queen must have taken a fancy to Zhao Qianqian and intends to marry the general's mansion.

Until Xuanqing walked in, Zhao Qianqian hadn't come to her senses, she subconsciously cast her gaze at Xuanyue, looking at a loss.

"Miss Zhao, this is the peach blossom brewed by the people of this palace, mellow and soft, you can taste it." Xuanqing walked up to her and stood still, looked at her and said softly. Looking at the way he looks, he almost didn't show his heart in public.

Zhao Qianqian was a little at a loss, but she refused to serve the glass of wine, shrank back and hid behind Gu Jiuge, and cast a look at her for help.

Gu Jiuge said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, it's just that Qian'er is not good at drinking, I'm afraid that if I disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness." ”

Xuanqing was not discouraged when he saw this, and continued: "It's okay, there are still a lot of non-intoxicating wines in the palace, so the palace will order someone to get it." ”

Zhao Qianqian waved her hand again and again when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"Hahaha!" As soon as Zhao Qianqian's words fell, she heard the queen chuckle a few times, looked over here and said, "The prince is really interested in Miss Zhao, and yesterday I learned that Miss Zhao will also see the banquet today, but I have been bothering to prepare for it for a long time." ”

Her words have come to this extent, if Zhao Qianqian still doesn't understand what it means, then she must be really stupid.

Zhao Qianqian took Gu Jiuge's hand and shook her head a little flusteredly,

Gu Jiuge took a deep breath, got up and looked at the queen, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the queen are very affectionate, and Qian'er really can't afford it." Today's events may have bothered the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

When she said this, she politely rejected the queen.

Sure enough, when the queen heard this, her face suddenly fell, and she asked in a deep voice, "Does Miss Gu know what this palace means?" ”

Gu Jiu Ge smiled and said, "Naturally, I know that the queen mother intends to marry Qian'er to His Royal Highness the Prince." But after all, this matter has to go through my uncle and maternal grandfather. However, if Qian'er is unwilling, she can't do it. ”

As soon as she said a word, the warm pavilion was terrifyingly quiet, and everyone held their breath and watched the confrontation between the two. I don't know why, in front of the queen of the world, Gu Jiuge's momentum has not diminished at all.
