Chapter Twenty-Five: Confrontation Again

Zhuo Zhaojie ran back to the inner room of the thatched hut in one breath, covered the 'door', threw himself on the couch and hugged the quilt, shy, happy and expectant...... After a while, I remembered Ban's previous teachings: "Ah, my grandmother said that the little lady should be more reserved, I called him so directly to propose marriage, don't you be underestimated by him?" ”

She was worried about this for a while, and then turned her mind to serious things - will the Zhuo family agree to this proposal?

Before arriving in Chang'an, the Ban family was 'exposed', and the Marquis of Min Ping planned to marry himself to the third son of the East Palace, although he didn't know what kind of person the clan of the five Ming Cheng was, but the meaning of the Ban family was not a good person anyway, not a good person to the point where the Ban family was willing to take the risk of taking responsibility and sit back and watch the granddaughter of the surrogate and the famous Chang'an scholar exchange letters, how inappropriate is this Tang Cheng, Zhuo Zhaojie simply didn't have the courage to think about it......

But who is called Minping Hou, the prince Zhan Shi, who supports Tang Cheng's half-brother Yanchang Junwang?

When he was in Moling, because he overheard the secret conversation between Cui Nanfeng and You Ruoheng, coupled with Ning Shaobi's several explanations, Zhuo Zhaojie had an understanding of the turbulent dispute for the prince in the East Palace before he arrived in Chang'an. The reputation of the woman has always been very good, but the problem is that the prince is not very interested in this wife, and he prefers the "daughter" of the commoner he met when he accidentally went out of the palace, and the green queen who is registered as a widow.

This is evident from the fact that Lu Ji is the son of the prince who was admitted to the East Palace after the prince's wedding, and she is not even a side concubine, but she gave birth to the eldest son and third son of the prince, and the dignified princess Mu has only one son of the king of Zhending County so far!

Especially the eldest son of the prince - because he is the eldest son of the concubine, according to the system of Da Liang Xijue, even if the children of the clan, unless they have great merit, the son of the eldest is not eligible to be knighted, let alone the king of the county, but the prince insisted on asking him to agree to make an exception to canonize the will of the king of the county, and three years ago, the prince hired the 'daughter' of the Marquis of Dunyuan as the princess of the county for the king of Yanchang County.

Dunyuan Hou Ou clan, is the first emperor in the center of the 'door', in the first emperor also had a concubine, although nothing out and died early, but the total did not accept a few days of favor to get the concubine seal, it can be seen that the Ou family background!

Such a 'daughter' from such a family...... It's enough to be the princess of the county, it's also enough to be the princess and the queen, can you still not understand the prince's intentions?

It's just that the mother and son of the king of Zhending County are not powerless to fight back, not to mention the power of the Shao Guogong Mu clan, today's Queen Chunyu is in love with Jinshang, and hates concubines the most, no matter how many good things the prince says for the king of Yanchang County, how much filial piety Lu Ji does in front of the queen, and how much the king of Yanchang himself flatters his grandmother, these add up to the identity of the king of Zhending County, in the eyes of Queen Chunyu, the grandson must be the king of Zhending County!

Although Jinshang does not attach as much importance to the concubine as the queen, the crown princess is virtuous and virtuous, and she is really the king of the county. Modest and filial, no matter how diligent the king of Yanchang is, he does not particularly exceed the king of Zhending County, and his sons and grandsons are the most logical, but he naturally feels that it is more suitable for the king of Zhending to succeed to the throne.

Yes, although the prince is deliberately paving the way for the king of Yanchang County, he is also taking one step at a time and being cautious, lest he anger Jinshang and the queen.

But now and the queen are getting older......

Once the mountain collapses and the crown prince is promoted to the emperor, it is up to him to set up whoever he wants, and whether the crown princess can become the queen or not is a matter of two words......

Marquis Minping obviously thinks that it is impossible for the queen to shelter the king of Zhending for the rest of his life, even if these two were there, the prince promised to take the king of Zhending as the prince in the future, but who knows what will happen in the future? Even if the prince has no intention of taking the 'sex' life of the king of Zhending, since ancient times, there are still few princes who have been abolished or exiled for various reasons?

Because the king of Yanchang County has married the 'daughter' of the Marquis of Dunyuan's family, and the Marquis of Dunyuan is now also the king of Yanchang County, Marquis Minping had no intention of saving a relationship with the Marquis of Dunyuan, so he retreated to the second best place and chose Tang Cheng...... Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and thought, let's not say that this Tang Cheng is definitely not a good thing, even if his character and appearance are not faulty, now that he has Ning Shaobi, no matter how good Tang Cheng is, what does it have to do with him?

The question is that Min Pinghou will definitely not agree......

Zhuo Zhaojie will never hesitate to use the most vicious ideas to figure out what her grandfather will do after knowing this, but she has been loved by her elders since she was a child, respects the elders who really love her, and is willing to make certain sacrifices for these elders - it is just a certainty, as for the elders like Min Pinghou who have never gotten along and are still using her ideas everywhere, Zhuo Zhaojie is not happy with his mood, she lazily thought: "Marriage matters, I am not at the mercy of that old man, if he must force me to marry Tang Cheng, I have to fight with him to the death! This old guy doesn't treat me as a granddaughter, but my grandfather loves me...... I can't say that I will ask for the time to come with the time...... Anyway, no one can think about swaying me about such a lifelong thing! ”

Min Pinghou has a very deep prestige in the Zhuo family, but as a granddaughter who has just returned to the family and has a preconceived resentment towards this grandfather, Zhuo Zhaojie has no good impression of his prestige, under the effect of resentment, such majesty only arouses her most instinctive vigilance and defense, how many children who have been pampered and grown up will be afraid of their elders from the bottom of their hearts?

"If I really can't do it, can't I learn from my aunt?" Zhuo Zhaojie pondered for a moment what Min Pinghou might take, and immediately found a model, when Zhuo Fanghua fell out with his deceased mother and his mother's family, he was also a disobedient junior, Zhuo Fanghua can live a good life until now, why can't he?

Besides, if Zhuo Fanghua doesn't go back to Zhuo's house, isn't the big room the same as the fourth room to visit her? What's so rare about that Hou Mansion!

Looking for a new role model to learn, Zhuo Zhaojie is very satisfied that she is ready to go home after the 'handover' generation, anyway, with her experience, whatever Ban can forgive her, so Zhuo Fangli and You should be like this, right? So as long as you are ready to deal with Min Pinghou...... As for the Shen family, Zhuo Zhaojie doesn't think that this step-grandmother, who is not related by blood, has any qualifications to control herself, and the virtues of self-denial, respect for the elderly, and respect for the elderly, Zhuo Xiaoqi Niang, who is pampered and pampered, has always chosen the performance of 'sex'......

Inside and outside, Ah Xing, Ah Li, Chu Qiu, and Li Qiu looked at each other, and after hearing the confession of the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng with their own ears, they saw Zhuo Zhaojie say a word to Na Ning Shaobi and fled without looking back...... The four clever handmaidens could more or less guess what Zhuo Zhaojie said at that time.

The problem is, the early autumn and the beginning of autumn are not enough, Ah Xing and Ah Li, as the personal envoys 'women' that You's have already started cultivating and prepared for the Zhuo Zhao Festival, where will it not be clear about You's arrangements for young 'women'?

The gentle and elegant Ruan Jialangjun, who countless noble 'women' and little ladies in Chang'an have been eyeing closely, is the 'son-in-law' that You is happy to see!

Even if it is not Ruan Yunshu, according to the preferences of Zhuo Fangli and You's family, how can it be Lang Jun Caicheng, who is successful, talented and good-looking, and humble and knowledgeable, the right man of the 'door', the prince of Yongcheng, the famous gentleman of Chang'an, although as natives of Chang'an, Ah Xing and Ah Li know that Ning Shaobi's embarrassing reputation is not lacking in the promotion of the Qiguo Mansion and the deliberate smearing of the Yanchang County Wang's faction, but these are also very related to the fact that this prince himself has no scruples about doing things, and he is proud of his background and does not learn and has no skills.

Ah Xing and Ah Li had already been instructed by the You clan to say good things about Ruan Yunshu between the silent 'lust', and help censor all Lang Jun who was close to Zhuo Zhaojie, so that the You clan could make adjustments at any time.

Can ...... now

The two little envoys looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness......

A crisp voice suddenly came from outside: "Is Xiao Qi Niang here?" ”

Hearing this voice, Ah Xing and Ah Li suddenly had an 'excited' spirit, and Ah Xing quickly said: "You go in and serve the lady!" ”

"Good!" Ah Li also heard that it was Zhuo Fangdian - this is one of the most vigilant opponents in Sifang, originally thought that the carriage was washed away on the road yesterday, just to throw her away for a while, I didn't want her to find the 'door' so soon.

Ah Xing went out of the house, and sure enough, there was a group of 'waiters' and 'women' wearing red and green standing outside the fence, surrounded by a little lady in brocade, Zhuo Fangdian who was wearing a flowing cloud bun, and held a bouquet of 'spring' and 'flowers' in her hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's you, Ah Xing, is Xiao Qi Niang there?" It was a coincidence yesterday, I still wanted to talk to her on the way, but I was washed away before I left the 'door'. ”

I only heard her be so approachable to the handmaid 'girl' next to her junior, and anyone should praise her for knowing and being courteous, but Ah Xing is the subordinate of the fourth room, so she will not have a good impression of her, so she saluted in a proper manner, and then said: "If you go back to Erniang, our lady just went out for a walk, and she is tired when she comes back, so she will rest for the time being." ”

"This is the second day of the 'spring' feast, why are you tired?" A soft voice sounded, Ah Xing heard this voice, the hand hidden in the sleeve clenched it tightly before letting go, she looked sideways, and saw a young 'girl' in colorful clothes on the path next to her walked over without hurry, with a group of green-dressed 'waiters' behind her. The female looks like Zhuo Fangdian is old, her skin is like snow, and there seems to be a little sadness between her eyebrows at any time, her temples are tired, her colorful clothes are staggering, her walking posture is extremely good-looking, there is a kind of elegance that can ride the wind at any time, because of this elegance, it seems extraordinarily weak, so that most people can't help but feel pity, but it's a pity that most people definitely don't include A Xing - just because this young 'girl' in colorful clothes continued in a very demure and gentle tone, "Yunli, you're right, your little Qi Niang...... Although I haven't seen her yet, I think it's good that you like her so much, but this body is too weak, alas, it's really a red face since ancient times......"

This young 'girl' in colorful clothes said softly, while 'showing' a 'color' of extreme sympathy and even pity, just looking at her expression, anyone would think that Zhuo Zhaojie was already very sick.

…… Sure enough, it's not a good intention!

Ah Xing sighed in her heart, but she didn't dare to slack off in front of this young 'girl', and bowed and said, "The maid has seen the county lord!" ”

"Excuse me." The county lord was very gentle and generous, and when he walked to Zhuo Fangdian's side, he still said softly and slowly, "What about your lady?" How about now? Have you ever seen a doctor? What 'medicine' materials are needed? ”

Ah Xing secretly vomited a mouthful of blood in her heart, and she just said that Zhuo Zhaojie was resting, and this one almost didn't directly ask Zhuo Zhaojie if he had ever entered the coffin, if this matter could not be rounded back, after going back, it would be strange if You didn't strangle himself and Ah Li!

She suppressed the hatred in her heart and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't dare to be a servant, the maid's wife is good, it's ......."

Before Ah Xing's words were finished, Zhuo Zhaojie's voice suddenly came from behind him, and he asked lazily: "Who is visiting and disturbing my dreams?" ”

On the one hand, Zhuo Zhaojie, who hastily made a single snail, stepped out of the 'door' and saw Zhuo Fangdian and the county lord, so he 'revealed' a trace of surprise and said: "Hey, I said that no one will come, this is a special nap party, I don't want my little aunt to come?" What a faux pas. ”

was about to bend down and salute, Zhuo Fangdian said with a smile: "I said it, we are about the same age, although we are the same generation, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Before her words fell, Zhuo Zhaojie had completely lost the meaning of saluting, and said sincerely: "I heard the starling say when I was in Moling, little aunt, you don't like this kind of false etiquette the most, I used to think that the little aunt is the elder, so the little aunt said that there is no need to be polite, I always listen to it, where did I think, I saw Her Royal Highness the princess yesterday, Her Royal Highness said that she didn't like to be polite, I used a few salutations and was disgusted, then I knew that what the little aunt said was not polite and sincere, I didn't dare to disobey the elders...... Speaking of which, I have been polite to my little aunt before, and I hope that my little aunt will not bother with me! ”

…… Calculated, calculated?

Zhuo Fangdian was silent for a moment, do you want me to return those gifts to you?

The county lord who came with her was also choked, and wanted to say something, but Zhuo Zhaojie dragged out Princess Yikang and didn't like others to be polite and talk, and no one could say that the princess was not, did she want to say that Zhuo Fangdian's "no need to be polite" was just polite, and to show Zhuo Fangdian's kindness to the younger generation?

In the strange silence, the county lord smiled weakly: "What you said is exactly what you said, speaking of which, I'm afraid that your body is not very good?" Why did you get up? ”
