After hearing the news, even Xuanrun, who has always been calm and self-controlled, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He naturally has also seen Concubine Rou, when he was still in the palace before, the other party was friendly with his mother and concubine, and after coming to Pingcheng, Concubine Shu often called the other party over to get together, but Xuanrun really couldn't connect the gentle and affectionate Concubine Rou with the head of the Zhao family.

It's just that I heard Qi Zhenzhen continue to speak:

"Actually, this is not nonsense, I had doubts from the time I first met Mrs. Zhao, the other party is not from a wealthy family, and he is from the position of the house, I originally thought that the head of the Zhao family should like him very much, but I didn't expect his attitude to be very cold.

It's just that there is some forbearance in this coldness, and at that time I was curious about what kind of emotions they had, until the demeanor of the Zhao family master when he saw this jade pendant.

There is also the similar appearance of Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Rou, which makes me somewhat sure of my guess, I think it should be because of the stand-in, it is precisely because of this similarity that he treats Mrs. Zhao like that."

Hearing Qi Zhenzhen's story, Xuan Run also remembered in a trance that he once sent someone to investigate the head of the Zhao family, and he was born as a concubine and climbed to the position of the head of the family step by step with his own efforts, and the hardships he experienced can be guessed without saying much.

After becoming the head of the family, the other party did not slack off because of this, but was very self-disciplined, and he was serious both externally and internally, and the Zhao family under his leadership could also be said to have reached a higher level.

It is precisely because of the Zhao family master's attitude that even the people who talked about it before because he was a concubine, most of them stopped talking, no matter where they came from, just talking about the performance of the Zhao family master was good enough.

Such a man, what is his weakness? At that time, Xuanrun deliberately asked people to investigate, and at that time he wanted to unite with the head of the Zhao family, but the other party really couldn't get in, so he thought about finding another way.

It's just that after investigating like this, the head of the Zhao family is still disappointed, the only thing that the other party can say is that he has never married a wife, and his current wife was just a person who was just a room when he entered the Zhao family and served him.

Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to Zhao Qing, and the head of the Zhao family never married another wife, but only straightened the other party as a wife.

At that time, although there were other concubines in the backyard, most of them were married by the head of the Zhao family in cooperation with the other party, so Mrs. Zhao could be regarded as a special pet.

It's just that even so, he is still ruthless to the other party's mother's family, just a little support for Zhao Qing's face, but once he noticed the other party's narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness, he did not tolerate it.

Ignoring Mrs. Zhao's request, the head of the Zhao family took away the treatment of the other party's mother's family, and just treated them idlely.

At that time, Xuanrun still sighed, even if he spoiled this aunt again, but the other party was still clean in major matters, not like the kind of indulgence in beauty, and now Xuanrun knows this inside story.

And when the head of the Zhao family came in, what he saw was the appearance of two people looking at each other, although the attitude and behavior of the two people can be called affectionate and polite, but the head of the Zhao family is a bright-eyed person, and he saw the faint friendship between the two people.

It's just that maybe he remembered the past with Concubine Rou, and now when he saw the closeness of the two, he actually remembered the delicate appearance of the girl in a trance, and he was also so in love, and responded in a panic.

Now that I think of it, I am inevitably a little funny, but also a little moved, moved by this green friendship.

So looking at the silence between the two at this moment, the head of the Zhao family hesitated, but he still didn't interrupt the two, he just stood quietly in front of the door and watched them, and also hinted at the servants to withdraw.

He looked at this pair of young boys and girls who didn't know the taste of their expressions, and in a trance, he seemed to think of himself at the beginning.

It was Qi Zhenzhen who reacted first, and she could still hear the footsteps of the maids outside, but it was extremely quiet at this time, she looked up, but saw a somewhat familiar figure, Qi Zhenzhen hurriedly got up and called the head of the Zhao family.

Seeing this, Xuanrun also struggled to get up, this time regardless of his identity, in the end

It was the other party who helped him, otherwise he was hiding in the alley by himself, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhao family walked forward quickly, stopped Xuanrun, who was about to get up, and said with a smile:

"Why should the prince stick to these, since I have already said cooperation at that time, the relationship between you and me is an ally, so naturally we should help each other, not to mention ......

When he said this, the voice of the head of the Zhao family paused slightly, and he still looked at Qi Zhenzhen on the side and said:

"What's more, Miss Qi specially sent a message from an old man, even if it's just because of Miss Qi, Zhao is going to help, so I also ask King Jing not to stick to the etiquette, just recuperate here with peace of mind."

In addition, if there is anything wrong, please go to the butler, I have already instructed him, and all the treatment will be subject to your arrangement, and please do not be polite."

Xuan Run could only nod when he heard the Zhao family master's detailed plan, and when the Zhao family master saw this, he turned his head to look at Qi Zhenzhen, and said in a slightly gentle voice:

"Miss Qi, I guess you will have to stay here for a little longer, but you have to write a few letters back by hand to indicate the situation here, in case they are worried."

Qi Zhenzhen originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the earnest expression of the Zhao family master, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but understand a little.

Where did the other party ask her to write to the Qi family, obviously wanting to borrow her pen and write to Concubine Rou, understanding this, and remembering Fang Cai and Xuanrun's analysis, and in the end, they are still sending people under the fence, and they have to thank the other party for help.

So Qi Zhenzhen nodded, she lowered her head and tucked the quilt for Xuanrun, looking at the other party's concerned expression, she smiled and said:

"After drinking the medicinal food, rest well, the head of the Zhao family is a proper person, you don't need to worry."

After that, she went out with the head of the Zhao family and went to the study of the head of the Zhao family together.

While studying the ink, the head of the Zhao family smiled at Qi Zhenzhen and asked, "Does Miss Qi like His Royal Highness King Jing?"

Qi Zhenzhen was still struggling with how to write the letter to Concubine Rou, but when she suddenly heard the Zhao family master's inquiry, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face couldn't help but turn red, and then she replied anxiously:

"The head of the Zhao family misunderstood, we are just friends, where do you like it or not?"

Hearing Qi Zhenzhen's denial, the head of the Zhao family was not angry, he just smiled lightly and said:

"Don't worry, the relationship between childhood sweethearts is always good, but Miss Qi and I were in a bit similar to the situation at the beginning.

But when I mentioned it suddenly, I would still be moved and hesitated, but I missed it in the most youthful and heartwarming years at that time, and it would inevitably become a pity, so I hope that if Miss Qi is interested, she must be bold and don't worry too much. Z.br>

As long as you are sure that the person you choose can be trusted and kept together, then it is not wrong, and why bother with idle people waiting for it?"

Originally, Qi Zhenzhen was still shy, but when she heard the Zhao family master take the initiative to mention that experience, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then she turned her pen and added a few more words to Concubine Rou's letter."

And after Qi Zhenzhen finished writing the letter, the head of the Zhao family sealed the letter himself, and then took out a thick letter and handed it to the steward together, telling him to send the letter to the Qi family in Pingcheng quickly.

When she saw this letter, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but she didn't expect that the seemingly taciturn Zhao family head had so much to say to her old lover, which was really beyond her expectations.

And with the sending of the letter, in the Qi family at this time, Aunt Liuli took the steamed pastry, thinking that this pastry was originally the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room in the palace, so she came to Concubine Rou and wanted the other party to taste if there was anything that needed to be improved in the taste of this pastry.

It's just that when Aunt Liuli walked in front of the other party, she actually found that Concubine Rou didn't notice her movements at all.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao gently pushed Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rou seemed to react from her own thoughts, Liuli

Seeing this, my aunt couldn't help frowning and said:

"What have you been thinking lately? I've been in a daze like this, but what's on my mind?"

Facing Aunt Liuli's inquiry, Concubine Rou hurriedly covered it up and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been too busy lately, so I'm just a little in a daze."

Did you make this pastry yourself? It's a nice taste, but it seems a little sweeter."

After hearing Concubine Rou's evaluation, Aunt Liuli also picked up one and tasted it carefully, then nodded with a smile:

"It's a little sweet, this is still a habit in the Zhao family, before I went to the young lady's side to take charge, I was in charge of the kitchen pastries, in addition to making pastries for the little young master and the young lady, it was for the head of the Zhao family.

The other party prefers to eat sweeter pastries, so every time I make pastries for the Zhao family, I always get used to making them sweeter.

Hearing Aunt Liuli mention the head of the Zhao family again, Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, and then only heard her murmur in her tone:

"Turns out he still likes sweets? I think when I was in the college, he also liked to eat sweet pastries."

Hearing Concubine Rou's self-talk, Aunt Liuli couldn't help but ask who it was? Concubine Rou reacted suddenly, only to see that she hurriedly picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, and then raised her glass to drink.

Aunt Liuli was originally curious, but looking at the other party's actions, she also understood that Concubine Rou didn't want to talk about it.
