Chapter 391: Reluctantly Invited
The eldest princess knew that she had not been given a position so far, and she had been grounded by the emperor, and it was inevitable that she would be sad when she was pregnant alone, and she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
"In this life, it is inevitable that people will be involuntarily. When you come to this point, you don't have to think about it anymore, it's important to take care of your body and give birth to the emperor's heir. โ
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, it's just ......" Zhou Yiliu smiled sadly, and glanced at one and two thoughts with a vague look, "In the eyes of the official family, except for the concubine, no one can tolerate it." Even if you have an heir, what can you do? โ
Her tone was sad and depressed, with a deep sense of depression, as if she would not be able to live at any time......
The eldest princess has always been soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and when she heard the words, the dissatisfaction with Zhou Yiliu in her heart was also scattered.
"Don't talk stupidly, the official family is the most important heir, if you give birth to a prince, then in this palace, no one can compare to you......"
Zhou Yiliu smiled bitterly and shook his head, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
At this time, the palace people came to report that Gonggong Shi asked to see him.
The eldest princess slowly sat up straight and cleared her throat, "Please." โ
Shi Quanbin came in and saw the eldest princess, who was saluting and saluting, her face was smiling like a flower, and her mouth couldn't be closed, and she was very flattering.
The eldest princess frowned, "During the concubine's funeral, Gonggong Shi smiled so happily, and he was not afraid of the blame of the official family?" โ
Shi Quanbin was stunned, the expression on his face immediately closed, and he saluted the eldest princess bitterly and pleaded.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will spare the little one, where does the little one dare to be disrespectful to the concubine."
The eldest princess said, "Don't you dare? I think you're very bold, and now that this palace wants to see the officials, I have to ask you to nod? โ
Shi Quanbin's expression was even more pitiful, "Your Highness forgives your sins, this, this, this has nothing to do with the small one." In order to send condolences, the official family guarded the imperial hall alone, and refused to see the important ministers of the two prefectures or the royal family. โ
It's not that they don't want to see it, it's that they don't want to listen to other people's advice.
How can Zhao Yuqing not understand what is going on with her brother?
"Gonggong Shi doesn't have to worry about this, just go and pass it on for me."
Shi Quanbin all nodded yes.
When he retreated, Zhou Yiliu suddenly smiled, "Gonggong Shi, I have to worry a lot, and the little prince also wants to see the official family." โ
Shi Quanbin glanced at Zhou Yiliu's belly, and responded with a smile on his mouth, but he sneered in his heart, feeling that this lady was really a little unscrupulous.
In this palace, the lady who has been pregnant with her body, whether it is too much, how little is not much, which one dares to say that she can give birth to a prince smoothly? Even Zhang Guifei, who won the holy favor alone, gave birth to three children in three years, didn't she keep any of them?
ยท
Shi Quanbin is a person with strong eyesight, he knows the wind and the rudder the most, he can't afford to offend the eldest princess, and he has to give a little face to the pregnant Zhou Niangzi. Therefore, he went to the Imperial Palace and reported to Zhao Zhen euphemistically.
I thought that Zhao Zhen would be like sending those princes and ministers, but I didn't expect that this time the official family pondered for a while, but it was loosened.
"Then I'll go to Xiangluan Pavilion for a walk."
ยท
Zhou Yiliu has been grounded for so long, she has been thinking about it behind closed doors, she has not seen Zhao Guan's family for a long time, and when she heard that the official family arrived, her face changed, and she suddenly got up from the chair, but because she got up too fast, her body shook and she almost fell down.
"Xiuyin." The eldest princess spoke up anxiously, "Don't help your master yet." โ
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm so happy." Zhou Yiliu had tears in the corners of his eyes, but his face was full of smiles, his hand twisted the handkerchief, and he took three steps and two steps to the door.
Zhao Yuqing sighed again when she looked at her.
"Your aunt is a poor woman."
As soon as he thought about it, he sat not far away, and when he heard it, he didn't move.
Zhao Zhen strode into the door, saw Zhou Yiliu's pale and innocent little face with a big belly, hesitated, and reached out to support her.
"I haven't come to see you for a while, why have you lost weight?"
Zhou Yiliu smiled slightly, "I've heard people say that some people don't grow flesh when they are pregnant. Officials don't have to worry about me. โ
She lightly exposed the pain of the grounding, as if she had never blamed Zhao Zhen for her kindness.
Everywhere is pitiful, and everywhere is compromised.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but think of the words she had questioned herself in the Huining Hall that day, especially when she looked at the first and second thoughts of the upright salute, the blame that arose because of Zhang Xueyi's death for a short time, and then quickly disappeared.
"I punished you because you were at fault first, but I didn't allow you to be harsh on yourself." The emperor's gaze naturally fell on Zhou Yiliu's belly, which was high and bulging and he had high hopes for.
"If you don't think about yourself, you should think about me and the emperor's heir."
Zhou Yiliu's eyes turned red, "Yes, it's the concubine's fault." โ
The eldest princess looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt a little tired beyond words.
She coughed and picked up.
"I heard that the official family was immersed in mourning because of the death of the concubine, and my liver and intestines were broken, and Zhou Niangzi and I were also worried......"
Such an opening remark, Zhao Zhen knew what she was going to say as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt and sat down in her robe.
"You don't have to say anything more, I've made up my mind."
The eldest princess looked at her stubborn brother, her eyes were red, and she sighed, "The official family has lived in the palace for a long time, but I don't know how ugly the rumors and rumors outside are. The people's hearts are terrible, if the official family buries the concubine with the queen's ceremony, and the etiquette is broken, the people will learn from it in the future, how can it be good? โ
Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes, his eyes were cold.
"I am the Son of Heaven, why do I have to be at the mercy of others in everything? I just want to do one thing with my heart, is it that hard? โ
"Official." The eldest princess persuaded earnestly: "The official family insists on going its own way, where will the queen be placed?" And where did you place your ancestors? โ
Zhao Zhen's face was indifferent: "I will accuse myself in front of the ancestors, as for the queen's ......"
He suddenly thought of Cao Yuqing's face.
When he was full of apprehension about his relationship with Zhang Xueyi and wanted to use the various considerations of the funeral concubine, Cao Yuzhen just hummed lightly and replied to him without changing his face.
"Everything depends on the wishes of the officials. The queen's guard of honor let her use it, and she didn't care about one more queen's funeral. โ
How could Zhao Zhen not know that this move was arrogant and contrary to etiquette?
But that's what he wanted to do.
Over the years, it is rare for a heart to have the youthful vigor and impulsiveness of youth. Speaking of which, he insisted on going his own way, ignoring the dissuasion of the Manchu Dynasty and the eyes of the world, and he had a deep affection for Zhang Xueyi, and some ...... When the Empress Dowager Liu was listening to the government, the lonely and helpless young emperor made a rebellion for himself.
He is the Son of Heaven.
He is the Lord of the world.
Why can't you follow your own will and bury your favorite woman?
Zhao Zhen actually didn't expect that except for those villains who were looking at his face, the only person who didn't stop him was Cao Yuqing.
At that moment, Zhao Zhen was actually a little moved and a little guilty.
Over the years, his neglect and dissatisfaction with Cao Yuqing, and his boredom with her because of his rebellious desire to resist being assigned to marry, seemed so ridiculous at that moment......
Zhao Zhen has to admit that Zhang Xueyi and Zhou Yiliu will never be able to compare to Cao Yuzhen to a certain extent, with a good character, calm and thoughtful, only Cao Yuzhen can afford the four words Queen of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Official?"
The eldest princess's suspicious voice pulled back Zhao Zhen's thoughts.
"The queen's anger, the Cao family's questioning, how to calm down?"
Zhao Zhen lowered his eyes, "The queen has no objections." There was no anger. โ
Zhao Yuqing was a little puzzled, and Zhou Yiliu clearly saw a strange light on Zhao Zhen's face, when he mentioned Cao Yuqing.
Zhou Yiliu's heart was cold.
You can't die a Zhang Xueyi, there is still a Cao Yuqi in front of you, right? The childless and unfavored queen has always been inferior to Zhang Xueyi in Zhou Yiliu's eyes, and now she has found out that maybe this is not the case......
"One thought, two thoughts."
Zhou Yiliu hurriedly interjected, not letting the Zhao official family indulge in his own emotions,
"Don't you guys like godfathers the most? After seeing each other for so long, don't you have anything to say to your godfather? โ
Ernian shook his head.
Zhou Yiliu said again: "Then tell your godfather how well you have learned?" โ
Ernian looked up at his eldest brother pleadingly.
Yinian's eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly slammed down at Zhao Zhen.
"Godfather, the child has a reluctant request."
Zhao Zhen has no children, although he still has a little doubt and nostalgia for the life experience of these two children, but seeing the two children look so healthy and vibrant, he still likes them in his heart.
He was slightly stunned, but rarely softened his expression and let the child get up.
"You want what you want, but it doesn't hurt to say it......"
Yi Yi lowered his eyes, arched his little hand, and said, "The child wants the little golden doll that his mother left for me." At the beginning, when I Xin Yi Niang went south, I originally hung the little golden doll around her neck, but I was taken away by the bad guys, and I still don't know where to go......"
Fu Jiuqu: Didn't I have a part in today's appearance?
Eldest Princess: Don't panic, your mother has appeared for you......
Fu Jiuqu: Your old man's appearance must be bad!
Eldest Princess: ...... Let's look at this unfilial son, he forgot his mother before he married his daughter-in-law, or else, don't marry him?
Fu Jiuqu: Mother's work, as soon as you do it accurately, it is good.
