Hua Zhen didn't speak, but Mrs. Ning on the side couldn't help frowning slightly, looking at Hua Zhen with a little more distress in her eyes.

Although the Duke of Wei's Mansion was also under house arrest, the Duke of Wei and the others could still know the news outside, so they were naturally very clear about what happened in the County Lord's Mansion.

At that time, Mrs. Ning almost desperately wanted to go to the county lord's mansion to see Hua Zhen, but fortunately, Hua Zhen was okay with the news.

But now that she thinks about it, she can't help but be a little afraid, she regards Hua Zhen as her heart, and she really doesn't dare to think about what will happen if something happens to Hua Zhen this time.

Looking at the worry in Old Madam Ning's eyes, Hua Zhen's heart suddenly warmed slightly, and she immediately took Old Madam Ning's hand and said softly: "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm not good." ”

Hearing that Old Madam Ning didn't speak, but the prince opened his mouth: "It's really fortunate that there was no accident this time, but it's really dangerous for you to live in the county lord's mansion alone." It would be nice if I could live in the palace, so that no one would dare to do anything in the palace. Alas, it's a pity that Zhen'er still has her father's filial piety now, otherwise I will beg my father to let you enter the East Palace. ”

Suddenly, everyone's hearts couldn't help jumping, and then they realized that the prince mentioned the assassination of the county lord's mansion, and it turned out that he wanted to mention Hua Zhen's family affairs.

Suddenly, Old Lady Ning and Old Lady Ning both looked at Hua Zhen.

I saw Hua Zhen bow her head: "The palace may not be a safe place, after the eldest aunt was killed, the emperor kept Zhen'er to live in the palace for a few days." Mama Cao lost her life in Changning Palace, Zhen'er could only watch, but she couldn't do anything, and she didn't even dare to sleep for a long time at night, worrying that someone would quietly put the poison in front of Zhen'er's bed. ”

The voice was very soft, but it made Old Madam Ning understand that Hua Zhen had no intention of entering the East Palace at all.

immediately said: "Indeed, it is the same inside and outside the palace, if someone wants to harm you, it is not safe anywhere." ”

Seeing that Old Madam Ning obviously heard the meaning of his words, but did not follow his words, the prince's heart sank slightly.

Looking at Hua Zhen's eyes, there was also a deep meaning, Hua Zhen just couldn't see it.

Seeing this, Old Lady Ning immediately said loudly: "Don't worry about Zhen'er's affairs, the prince doesn't have to worry about it, this county lord's mansion is not far from the Guogong Mansion, I will send someone to pay attention to it, and I won't let Zhen'er be wronged." ”

"That's fine. When the prince heard this, he could only respond.

Then he gossiped with Mrs. Ning and Wei Guogong for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, and Wei Guogong personally sent him out.

When the prince went out, Mrs. Ning looked at his back, her mind was very heavy, and she immediately said: "Looking at his current appearance, he really looks like the emperor at the beginning." ”

Old Madam Ning also sighed, after all, they had been away from Beijing for more than five years, and for more than five years, they were both things and people.

"Yes, if that's the case, I'm just afraid that after he ascends the throne, he will still be cunning and sling. ”

The two looked at each other as they spoke, and they both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen said softly: "Grandfather Ning, don't worry too much, after the death of the prince's cousin Xu but his aunt, and his grandfather and cousin are not in the palace, he is just a little worried and scared." I think that when he goes back in the future, he will be able to figure it out and know his grandfather's intentions. ”

"I hope so. Old Lady Ning sighed when she heard this and nodded.

Then he looked at Hua Zhen: "When the pity star was there, I wanted you to marry the prince, and today I look at the prince's meaning, I am afraid that he also has a heart for you, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the old lady Shangning: "When my grandfather asked about this, Zhen'er naturally couldn't help but answer, after Zhen'er returned to Beijing, she had received the favor of Qin Huai, the eldest prince of the Dongjun Palace, and at that time, the queen mother also mentioned this matter in order to prevent Zhen'er from having too much contact with the eldest prince of Qin. But Zhen'er didn't want to marry into the East Palace, whether it was the main concubine or the side concubine, Zhen'er didn't want to follow in her aunt's footsteps. ”

Hua Zhen said that her eyes were very firm, and when she heard that Old Madam Ning said, she nodded: "Yes, this entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea, and it is not necessarily a good thing." When Lianxing wanted to get married, I didn't want to, but she was happy, and the Shen family wanted to cling to the royal family, which made her sigh..."

"And let's not talk about Zhen'er's thoughts, even the emperor will not agree to let Zhen'er enter the East Palace. Hua Zhen said and looked at the old lady Ning, her eyes were very serious: "Grandfather should know that the reason why the emperor wants to get rid of the Ning family now is that he is worried that the Ning family's merits will be high, and if so, when the emperor gets rid of the Ning family, he should also abolish the prince related to the Ning family." ”

But not only did the emperor do this, but when Zhang Ying's matter was exposed, he even thought about sacrificing King Qi to protect the crown prince. That also shows that the emperor wants to get rid of the Ning family, not because he is worried that the Ning family's merits will be high. Zhen'er boldly guessed that the emperor wanted to purge the crown prince from government. ”

"What do you mean, the emperor has the heart to pass on the crown prince?"

"I estimate that since the death of my father and aunt, the emperor should be ready to pass on the crown prince. So he deliberately went to his mother and kept his son, and then got rid of the Hua family, the Ning family, and finally made a move on the Shen family, he was afraid that the prince would be kind-hearted and would be controlled by his relatives in the future. My aunt should have also seen the emperor's thoughts, so she handed over the Xingchen Pavilion to me, but not to the prince, because she knew that as long as the prince always looked powerless like this, the emperor would not do anything to the prince, and would rest assured that the throne would be handed over to the prince. Hua Zhen said, her eyes full of determination.

When Old Lady Ning heard this, she leaned back on the chair, her face became solemn, and she touched her beard.

"Indeed, governing the country requires a virtuous monarch and a wise lord, compared to several other princes who focus on meritorious service, the prince has always learned the way of governing the country, which is what a real prince does. ”

"Since the emperor has the heart to pass on the throne to the crown prince, how can he allow the prince to marry me, I am afraid that what he fears most in his heart is what the prince will have to do with me. Hua Hao said and looked at Old Lady Ning: "Grandfather, if the guess is good, the emperor should not be long before he finds a suitable princess for the prince, and looking at the emperor's expectations for the prince now, Hao Er guesses that it should be the daughter of the Chinese courtier, and this Chinese book makes Jiang Wei's family have a concubine who is now sixteen years old and unmarried." ”

Old Lady Ning sighed lightly when she heard this, and nodded: "I'm afraid that his concubine is waiting for the prince." ”

Hua Zhen saw that Old Lady Ning understood, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

What she was most worried about was that Old Lady Ning would move her mind to make herself like the East Palace, and now it seems that this thought has been dispelled.

It's just that before Hua Zhen's breath was completely released, Old Lady Ning's words suddenly made Hua Zhen's heart suffocate suddenly, and she forgot to breathe.

"What about Xiao Shizi, what do you think?"

After a long time, Hua Zhen reacted, and immediately looked at Old Lady Ning: "What does grandfather mean by this?"

I saw Old Lady Ning and Old Lady Ning look at each other, and then they both laughed.

"Since you have no intention of the crown prince, then this Xiao Shizi is also a good choice. Although Yanbei is a little desolate, the strength of Yanbei should not be underestimated, and the princess of Yanbei is not much worse than the crown princess of Dayan. ”

Hua Zhen reacted immediately when she heard this, and her face immediately turned red, looking at Old Lady Ning who didn't know how to explain, she thought of Xiao Huaijin's smile in her mind, and only felt her heart pounding.

Old lady Ning looked at Hua Zhen's appearance, where could she not understand, and immediately picked up the tea on the table and drank it.

Old Madam Ning took Hua Zhen's hand: "When we returned to Beijing, Xiao Shizi sent someone to protect him secretly, and he himself went to Yongzhou City to meet your grandfather in person. ”

"Did he go to see his grandfather? What is he going to do?" Hearing this, Hua Zhen was shocked, when Xiao Huaijin brought the letter to her, she only said that Old Lady Ning was handed over to him.

Now it seems that he is only afraid that he brought it back personally, and he is suddenly a little curious, when did Xiao Huaijin go to Yongzhou City.

Old Madam Ning looked at the doubts in Hua Zhen's eyes, and immediately smiled and said, "What else can I do, he personally brought a generous gift to meet your grandfather, just for your business." ”

"What's the matter with me?" Hua Hao had a bad premonition in her heart when she heard this.

Sure enough, he listened to Mrs. Ning say: "He knows very well that you are not close to the Shen family and will not listen to the Shen family, so he begged your grandfather to help talk about this family matter, and also asked your grandfather to agree to marry you to him, and also said that he would marry you in the name of the concubine of Yanbei, and promised that he would only marry you in this life, so that your grandfather and I can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's face suddenly turned even redder, and she was even more shocked in her heart, she never thought that Xiao Huaijin would actually run to find Old Lady Ning and Old Lady Ning and ask to marry her.

When Xiao Huaijin told her this, she only thought that Xiao Huaijin was joking on a whim because she listened to Qin Huai's words.

But he didn't expect Xiao Huaijin to take it seriously, and he also ran to find the Ning family.

Old Madam Ning smiled when she saw the slippery reaction: "I was worried that this Xiao Shizi had ulterior motives, but now looking at you like this, I am also relieved." ”

"Maternal grandmother. Hua Zhen was suddenly even more ashamed, not knowing how to answer.

Old Madam Ning touched Hua Zhen's hair with a smile when she heard this, and said with distress in her eyes: "Silly child, what else is there to be embarrassed in front of your grandmother, you are far worse than your aunt and your mother, not to mention your aunt at the beginning, it is your mother, but they all directly approached us and said that they must marry Hua Yan, saying that they are happy in their hearts and want to marry him." Otherwise, if you think that your father was just a lieutenant at that time, the Shen family could agree to let her marry your father. ”

Hua Zhen didn't expect her father and mother to have this one, and she was stunned.

"Zhen'er, I have nothing to do with your grandfather, I just hope that you can marry someone you like in the future, so when Xiao Shizi proposed to marry you, we didn't agree, and I wanted to ask you first. If you don't like it, no one will want to force you to marry someone you don't like, and your grandfather and I will not agree to this old life. ”
