Chapter 74 (1st Update)
Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Qingxi looked at Zhao Zaifu, thinking together, Lin'an Huayan is indeed not to be underestimated.
After today's-for-tat confrontation with Mrs. Wuwei Houji, she pushed her into the water with a smile, and rescued her in person with a smile, and everyone would no longer underestimate her.
Zhao Zaifu said again, "From today on, Xi'er's marriage and the future of our Zhao family, I'm afraid we have to re-plan." ”
Mrs. Zhao's face tightened, "Master, is there no room for turnaround?" That Lin'an Huayan doesn't like His Royal Highness the Prince, I really don't know what to do. She likes Lu Zhiling, and openly expressed her intentions, what she did today is really not worldly, and our family may not have no chances. ”
Zhao Zaifu said in a gloomy voice, "600,000 taels of silver, this equivalent code, although it is Lin'an Huayan's idea, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obeyed, then, that is, to tell us, for me and our Zhao family, the affection is so heavy, it can't be deeper." If he marries Xi'er, he won't choose Lin'an Huayan, it's just that we are unwilling. Therefore, even if there is an opportunity, the position of the crown princess will not be Xi'er. ”
Zhao Qingxi's face turned pale.
Mrs. Zhao was very distressed, and said angrily, "His Royal Highness the Prince, why is this?" What's wrong with Xi'er? Although Lin'an Huayan is not bad, but she acts so arrogantly, boldly, and recklessly, can she be a good person around him? ”
Zhao Zaifu said, "If you don't do it well, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose her, it's been a year, we have to recognize this fact, from today on, we can no longer deceive ourselves." ”
Mrs. Zhao was dejected, "Then who should we marry Xi'er?" ”
Zhao Zaifu looked at Zhao Qingxi, and finally sighed, "Last year, Xi'er was seventeen, which was the most suitable age for marriage, but the prince did not choose her, we were unwilling, delayed, she is eighteen years old this year, she can't be delayed any longer, we have to hurry up to discuss marriage." After tomorrow, I will screen all the unmarried young talents in Beijing to see who is the most suitable. ”
Mrs. Zhao was helpless and nodded, "That's all there is to it." ”
Zhao Zaifu said, "In addition to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are still excellent young sons in this capital. In this world, although the prince is the best person, he may not be far behind others, even if he is bad, it is not too much. Otherwise, how can there be four sons? ”
Mrs. Zhao felt a little better when she heard this, and turned to Zhao Qingxi, "Xi'er, don't think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, he has a cold heart and focuses on Sheji, who knows why he married Lin'an Huayan?" You, your father, me, our Zhao family, treat His Royal Highness with such a heavy weight, but in exchange for this, it is really ......"
"Mother." Zhao Qingxi interrupted Mrs. Zhao's disrespectful words and said calmly, "Dad is right, a daughter may not necessarily marry His Royal Highness the Prince. Just listen to my father, starting tomorrow, help me choose someone to discuss with me. ”
Mrs. Zhao clapped her hands and almost cried, "My good boy, I've hurt you." ”
Zhao Qingxi smiled, "My daughter is not bitter, my daughter has been taught by her father since she was a child, and the daughter of our Zhao family and the people of the Zhao family cannot be looked down upon." ”
Zhao Zaifu's eyes showed appreciation, "Yes, it is worthy of being my daughter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not marry you, it is his loss." ”
The night deepened, the stars and the moon disappeared into the clouds, the sky was dark and dark, most of the mansions in the capital of Southern Chu fell asleep, but the lights of several houses were bright.
In addition to the Zhao Mansion, there is also a mansion that can't sleep at night, that is, the Wuwei Marquis Mansion and the Jingguo Mansion.
After Mrs. Wuwei Hou woke up, she cried loudly to Wu Weihou.
Wuwei Hou and Zhao Zaifu have never been on good terms, so he did not go to Zhao's mansion today to celebrate his birthday, but only went by his stepwife Liu Fuxiang. Therefore, he naturally didn't see Hua Yan, and he didn't expect her stepwife to walk but come back lying down.
Like Jing Guogong, he has led soldiers and fought battles, and now he is peaceful and prosperous, but Southern Chu did not emphasize literature and light on martial arts, so Wuwei Hou and Jing Guogong still have extremely high status in the court. But he is different from pure martial artists such as Jingguo Gong, he knows the way of civil officials and the art of authority, and he is an extremely rare civil and military all-round person of the emperor's generation.
Back then, the Mei family had two Jiao, one entered the East Palace, and the other married into the Wuwei Hou Mansion. Although they all died early in the end, they can't kill the fact that many young talents scrambled to get it, and Wuwei Hou married someone.
It can be seen that Wu Weihou was an extremely outstanding person back then.
Facing Liu Fuxiang's frightened and resentful cry, he looked at her calmly for a long time, listened for a long time, and then said, "I know about this, you can rest for a long time." ”
Liu Fuxiang's crying stopped suddenly, and her eyes were swollen, "Master Hou? You don't call the shots for your concubines? ”
Wuwei Hou said, "Since Zi Chu was there at the time, he dealt with this matter, that is to represent the attitude of Wuwei Houfu, and this matter cannot be changed." ”
Liu Fuxiang couldn't believe it, "Master Hou, is that concubine bullied by her like this?" She's not the crown princess yet, is she? And the shameless woman openly said that she liked Lu Zhiling, but the concubine couldn't see it, who said a few words, she was so ruthless, she really deceived people, bullying the concubine, it was bullying you. ”
Wu Weihou sank his face, "Since Ben Hou said that he knows, you don't need to say much, just rest for a long time." That Lin'an Huayan, since she acted like this, she was indeed arrogant, but I have already asked people, saying that you are talking to a woman today, and there is something wrong, she personally went into the water to rescue you up, and since your body is fine, there is nothing to say. ”
Liu Fuxiang was unwilling and cried, "Master Hou, the concubine thought she was going to die at that time, the concubine was so scared, the concubine was afraid that she would no longer be able to wait for you, how could she let her go so easily?" ”
Wu Weihou looked at her and said comfortingly, "How can the woman the prince want to marry be a good match?" If you suffer a loss under her today, it is not wronged, and in the future, you will grow wise. ”
Liu Fuxiang has to say again, "Master Hou......"
Wu Weihou tensed, "Otherwise, how are you going?" ”
Liu Fuxiang looked at his face, her heart tightened, she closed her mouth, and after a while, she said aggrievedly, "The concubine listens to the Hou Ye." ”
Wu Weihou's face turned slightly pale, and he nodded, "Let's rest." After saying that, he gave two more instructions and went to the study.
After Liu Fuxiang left after Wuwei Hou, her face was cruel, vicious and angry, her hands clutched the futon, almost ripping the brocade quilt, she had heard that she was in a coma after falling into the water, and Su Ziqi happened to arrive, but she didn't care about her, but untied her cloak and gave Lin'an Huayan.
He was so protective of Lin'an Huayan, not only gave the cloak, but also dealt with the matter in a big and small way, completely ignoring her. How could he do that?
How could he?
As soon as Lin'an Huayan entered Beijing, he smashed the signboard of the Shunfang gambling house he had operated for ten years, and took away the profits of his gambling house for ten years, so he didn't hate her, wasn't he angry, didn't want to kill her? Why are they so protective?
Who has Su Zi protected in the past five years?
She felt her nails digging into the flesh, her heart hurting, and her heart hurt so much that she was almost being cut by a thousand knives.
Did he hate her? Hate her for marrying Hou Ye back then?
She closed her eyes, eager to kill that Lin'an Huayan.
After Wu Weihou arrived at the study, he asked the housekeeper, "Has Zi Chop come back?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly replied respectfully, "Back to the Hou Ye, the prince has not come back yet, I heard that after coming out of the Zhao Mansion, he and Lu Shizi went out of the city to race horses." ”
Wu Weihou glanced at the sky, "I haven't come back for this hour, it seems that I won't come back today?" ”
The butler nodded, "Nine times out of ten, it won't come back." ”
Wu Weihou's face was gloomy, "Does he still have this home in his eyes?" If you don't want to come back, you won't come back, and even if I look for him, I won't see anyone. What exactly does he want to do? Is he really determined not to inherit my title? ”
The housekeeper did not dare to answer.
Wu Weihou seemed to be angry, and shouted outside, "Someone." ”
"Master Hou." Someone showed up.
Wu Weihou asked angrily, "What is going on with him and Lin'an Huayan?" Can you find out? ”
The man immediately replied, "Back to the Hou Ye, the quasi-princess found the Shunfang gambling house, and after winning the nine gambling gods, Lu Zhiling came to find the son, the son opened the drunken red face and sent it to an altar in the East Palace, after that, the prince sent someone back to the half of the altar, Lu Shizi visited the East Palace at night and was trapped by the prince, and the prince brought a drunken red face to the rescue, and took the princess out of Beijing, and after that, he and His Royal Highness the Prince circled around Banbi Mountain until late at night, and before His Royal Highness the Prince found it, he abandoned the quasi-princess and went to Tangquan Mountain. Untied the cloak and gave it to the prospective princess, and then went out of the city with Lu Shizi to race horses. ”
These things, the Hou Mansion secret guard has been paying attention to, and they are clear.
After hearing this, Wu Weihou raised his eyebrows, "In the past five years, when has he cared about anyone?" Lu Zhiling is one, although his friendship with him is not shallow, but it is not so deep that he and Yun Chi turn their faces against each other. This Lin'an Huayan, did he really let him treat him differently? ”
The dark guard lowered his head, "The prince is indeed a little different when he treats the princess. ”
Wu Weihou's face was gloomy, and he said for a while, "No wonder ......"
When the butler heard these three words, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
Wu Weihou didn't say much or ask more, and waved his hand, "You all go down!" "If he returns, tell him to come to me." ”
The dark guard retreated instantly, and the butler hurriedly responded and walked backwards out of the study.
