Zhao Zhen lay alone in the Funing Hall for three days, and all the attendants around him were replaced, and there was not even a person who could speak, and he was depressed and his illness did not improve.

This day, he slept heavily until midnight, and suddenly the curtain on the bed opened, and a man in black flashed in, Zhao Zhen thought that there was another assassin, and he was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he was completely sleepy.

was about to call for help, but was covered by a delicate hand.

"Sixth brother, don't shout, it's me!"

Zhao Zhen was excited, and if he looked closely, he really saw that it was his cousin Ye Pei, wearing a black tight-fitting short coat, very playful and cute.

"Pei'er, how did you get out?"

Ye Pei grinned: "Where can the courtyard wall in this palace stop me?" ”

Zhao Zhen hugged Ye Pei in his arms, "I only have you now!" ”

Ye Pei let Zhao Zhen hug him for a while before he broke away and comforted him and said:

"Sixth brother, you don't have to be discouraged, the so-called coming day is long, do you remember what I gave to Wen Yanbo? And to you today. We can only obey the will of God and wait for the opportunity. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "My good Pei'er." He held Ye Pei's face with both hands, and actually shed tears.

"Sixth brother, don't cry." Ye Pei stroked the back of Zhao Zhen's hand and said, "I will always accompany you." ”

"Your eyes are like stars shining in the night."

"I like to look at the stars the most, and I often sit in the yard when I can't sleep." Ye Pei and Zhao Zhen sat side by side on the bed, snuggling up to each other and chatting.

"Although we can't see the stars at the moment, we can imagine that the vast and deep sky is full of stars, and among the stars, there is a bright moon......

Does the sixth brother think it's the beauty of the stars or the moon? ”

"What do you say?" Zhao Zhen listened carefully and looked at Ye Pei ambiguously.

"Some people call themselves stars, some people think they are the moon, but both the stars and the moon have their own beauty, do you think that who is competing for whose brilliance?

Isn't it nice to have the same light as the stars and the moon? Why do they keep earning and robbing? ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "They all want to be the brightest one in the sky!" ”

"I don't think so, isn't it more beautiful to complement each other?" May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean. 'Sixth brother, do you think this is good? ”

Zhao Zhen once again hugged Ye Pei in his arms and said movingly: "What is the night tonight, see this beloved?" Pei'er, my good Pei'er, I can have you, it is the luck of my life! ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the inner room, and Li Zhe came in and whispered: "Official, official!" What whispers do you hear? ”

Zhao Zhen put his finger to his mouth, signaled Ye Pei not to make a sound, covered Ye Pei with the quilt, and leaned under his feet to get on the bed and put on his shoes.

Li Zhe's voice was close again, and he asked, "Official, are you asleep?" ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly threw out a white-glazed and black-colored ingot porcelain pillow from Cizhou kiln, and scolded: "You dog slave, do you want to rebel?!" ”

"Whoa", the porcelain pillow fell to pieces at Li Zhe's feet. was so frightened that Li Zhe knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Official, the slaves don't dare, the minions don't dare." ”

Zhao Zhen stepped down from the bed and casually wrapped the bed curtain tightly.

At this time, the little yellow door waiting outside the door also got up and came in when they heard the movement, and lit up the two glass lamps in the inner room.

Everyone was startled when they saw Li Zhe kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, and no one dared to come closer.

Zhao Zhen sat on the circle chair next to the bed, froze for a while, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, looked at Li Zhe, and suddenly asked, "Why did Li Guiren kneel on the ground?" ”

The golden treasure who was waiting in the outer courtyard relied on his courage, took the middle coat and put it on for Zhao Zhen, and asked, "Is the official family dreaming?" ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "I'm afraid it was my dream that scared Li Guiren, right?" Quickly help Li Guiren to get up. ”

When everyone saw the official family like this, they helped Li Zhe up and cleaned up the fragments of porcelain pillows on the ground.

Zhao Zhen held his head and said to Li Zhe in a gentle voice: "Li Guiren is not strange, I often have the disease of dreams, Chen Zhongyi and they all know, if I don't dare to step forward when I hear anything at night, I'm afraid I don't know what I am thinking in my dreams, and there are accidental injuries."

Even the eldest lady knows that I often talk to myself about a grinding drinker. Did you scare Li Guiren today? ”

Li Zhe was supported by others, and he wanted to cry aggrievedly but didn't dare to cry, so he had to say: "Official, the slave is fine." It's just that the official, you have to take care of the dragon's body. ”

Zhao Zhen said again: "It's okay if it's okay, you all help Li Guiren to go down and bandage it!" ”

A small yellow door helped Li Zhe down, although Li Zhe had the intention to accuse the official family of doing it deliberately, but he was the master and he was a slave, what could he say?

He is just a chess piece by the side of the official family of the Queen Mother, and the official family can't toss tricks in the middle of the night, so it's better not to blindly monitor himself.

Thinking of this, Li Zhe comforted himself and said: "Life is your own, you still have to cherish it!" From then on, he didn't dare to come forward in the middle of the night.

Huang Jinbao took a new porcelain pillow and wanted to change it for Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen ordered: "Give me the porcelain pillow, turn off the light, and you all step down." ”

Jin Baonuo answered, handed over the porcelain pillow to the official, turned off the light, and bowed out.

Zhao Zhen saw that everyone was gone, so he got back into the bed.

I saw Ye Pei around the quilt, covering his mouth and laughing.

When Ye Pei saw Zhao Zhen coming in, he gave a thumbs up, covered his mouth and said, "It's so high!" ”

Zhao Zhen also laughed, but he coughed violently without laughing twice.

Ye Pei hurriedly patted him on the back, and it took a long time to calm down.

Ye Pei said: "Sixth brother, you still have to take care of the dragon body!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that my body can't make me arrogant!" His self-deprecation was full of helplessness and inferiority.

Zhao Zhen's personality is forbearant and depressed, mostly because he has been weak since he was a child, and he is only accompanied by pain, pressure and self-discipline.

But in fact, after all, he is still just a young man of the age of playfulness, and the most suppressed and longing in his heart is still those passionate and wanton things.

"What is the sixth brother going to be arrogant about?" Ye Pei asked inexplicably. Ye Pei has always been physically strong, how can she understand the lament of a peer who has more than enough heart but not enough strength?

Zhao Zhen suddenly leaned over and pressed Ye Pei under him, raised his eyebrows and said evilly: "If it weren't for my poor health, I would have accepted a concubine at this age!" ”

Zhao Zhen only dared to reveal the kind of enthusiasm and desire that he couldn't and didn't dare to show to others in front of Ye Pei.

"Ahh Ye Pei wanted to call for help but didn't dare to raise her voice, she was in a hurry and said, "I know that the sixth brother will not use force on me. ”

"Normal boys will think about this when they reach my age, why are you sure I won't?"

"Because ......" Ye Pei pushed Zhao Zhen away when he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Because if you are like this, I won't come tomorrow." He said that he had retreated beyond the bed.

"You ......" Zhao Zhen saw that he was fooled, and immediately covered his chest and coughed, as if he was out of breath.

Ye Pei's heart softened and sat back on the edge of the bed, "Sixth brother, are you okay?" ”

Seeing Ye Pei sitting closer, he grabbed Ye Pei and kissed her on the cheek, "You mean you'll come back tomorrow, right?" A pair of affectionate phoenix eyes looked straight at Ye Pei's eyes as smart as autumn water.

Ye Pei was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, pouted and said, "Hmph, not coming!" Ye Pei was ashamed and annoyed, and escaped from the window lattice.

Zhao Zhen looked at Ye Pei's back as he ran away, and his smile was as bright as a flower.

In the next few days, Ye Pei walked into Zhao Zhen's bedroom several times in the middle of the night to comfort him and enlighten him. In less than half a month, Zhao Zhen has recovered as before, and he is thinking about his next move step by step.

------

On this day, the official Zhao Zhen went to greet the eldest lady, but saw Wang Qinruo serving tea at the Empress Dowager Liu E.

It turned out that Wang Qinruo had laid a straw paste in the Eight Princes' Mansion before, and was going to marry Ye Pei as a son-in-law, but he didn't want Ye Pei to be promoted again and again, so that even if Wang Qinruo earned it, the previous far-fetched intention became a rush.

If you marry the daughter of the queen mother, the daughter of the county lord, and climb to the queen mother, it is a good thing to glorify the lintel. Compared with the eight kings who ignore the world, the queen mother is in power, and she should be more smooth sailing in the court in the future.

Taking the opportunity to discuss this year's opening ceremony of Jin Mingchi, Wang Qinruo entered the palace to bow to the Queen Mother, and said: "The Queen Mother, the minister Xiaoer Junyi once had a marriage contract with the Lord of Ye County, and received the grace of the Queen Mother, I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing to marry the Lord of Ye County into the family of Weichen?" ”

The Empress Dowager Liu E already trusted Wang Qinruo, and said with a smile at this time: "I didn't know that I was a family member with Lord Wang." ”

"The minister feels extremely honored."

"I like this kid Ye Pei very much, and I want to stay a few more days. But it won't delay her, you draw up the dowry list first, and I will personally choose the dowry for her. ”

When Wang Qinruo heard this, he was very happy in his heart and kowtowed to thank him.

At this moment, the official Zhao Zhen came in and saw that the Queen Mother and Wang Qinruo were full of joy, so he asked: "Why are the Queen Mother and Wang Qing's family happy?" ”

Liu E said with a smile: "When it comes to children's family affairs, I feel very happy. Official, when you reach our age, you will be able to experience this feeling! ”

Zhao Zhen was terrified in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface, and said to the Queen Mother Liu E: "Erchen and royal sister Ye Pei will always be by the side of the eldest lady, loyal and filial." ”

Zhao Zhen interceded for Ye Pei and said: "My royal sister has always been lively and cute, and she can please the eldest lady the most, let her come and tell you more scripts to make you happy." ”

Zhao Zhen originally intended to use this excuse to let Liu E relieve Ye Pei's grounding, and hooked Liu E to miss Ye Pei, so that she could marry a few years later to buy more time for herself.

I didn't know that Liu E didn't talk to her, but said to Wang Qinruo with a smile: "Ye Pei's girl is the most popular with me, but it's a pity that she is spoiled by me, she is too naughty, and if she marries into your mansion in the future, I am afraid it will bring you a lot of trouble." ”

Wang Qinruo said respectfully: "Lord Ye is gifted and intelligent, so he is naturally more lively than others. The ministers and dogs must serve wholeheartedly and will not make any mistakes. ”

Liu E smiled: "Then I will be relieved." ”

Wang Qinruo said again: "The official family is close to a weak crown, and it is time to accept a concubine after the title. ”

Who knew that Wang Qinruo's fart slapped on the horse's leg, Zhao Zhen didn't like him to talk too much, and stared at Wang Qinruo without saying a word.

Liu E said to Wang Qinruo: "The official family is not young, but he has been weak since he was a child, and the imperial doctor said that he was afraid that he would hurt his vitality by approaching the woman too early, so he has not mentioned this matter." ”

Turning his head and asking Zhao Zhen again, "The allergies of the official family a few days ago have been cured recently?" ”

"Back to the eldest lady's words, the son is no longer in the way. Erchen is weak, and he doesn't want to do anything about taking a concubine in the near future. Zhao Zhen casually agreed angrily.

Empress Dowager Liu smiled and said to Wang Qinruo: "Look at the character of the official family, when you follow the first emperor, I'm afraid you will enter the Tao!" ”

The first emperor Jingzong Zhao Heng did not have many concubines, and he favored Liu E alone, resulting in many years without children. In his later years, he devoted himself to cultivation, wantonly sealed Zen, and abandoned government affairs.

The relationship between Jingzong and Liu E cannot be described as a sole favorite, Jingzong even relies on Liu E, otherwise how could Liu E have the opportunity to dominate the government alone?

is also like Tang Gaozong in the Wu Zetian era, who was in poor health and had no intention of government, and it was precisely because of the emperor's weakness and incompetence and laissez-faire that the harem had the opportunity to hold power.

At this time, Liu E said such a thing, as if to show Zhao Zhen's incompetence, and deliberately set him in the air, and he would still control the government.

Wang Qinruo also responded again and again, and talked to Liu E about many parents' shortcomings, Zhao Zhen smiled and listened to the words of the two of them, without saying a word.
