Chapter 31: Eavesdropping

As he spoke, Wang Bao, who was behind Zhao Hongming, glanced at him.

The eunuch Wang Bao comprehended, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it over.

Jiang Guanfu hurriedly said: "Your Highness can't do it. ”

He resigned again and again, and no matter how Zhao Hongming persuaded him, he was unwilling to accept it.

"Your Royal Highness, in fact, there is nothing to pay attention to, in a few days, the queen will ask Miss Huo to come to the palace to sit down, and then the fifth highness can prepare her appearance and go over, and prepare more fashionable fun, so that the two of them will not be cold when they are alone."

"I see, thank you for the announcement."

"Now that the news has arrived, the minions won't stay here for long."

"Father-in-law walks slowly."

After Jiang Guanfu left, he said to himself: "It is said that the Fifth Highness is living in poverty, but when I saw it today, it was indeed the case." ”

Generally speaking, when he goes to other princes' residences, not to mention the more precious things such as heaven and earth treasures, at least he will give a martial arts pill such as a qi and blood pill.

There are only two silver taels here for the five princes.

In the palace, now he is also a celebrity next to the queen's mother, and he is not very short of these silver taels, and he can't make people unhappy for such a small amount of money.

After all, they are royalty, and they still have to give a few points for face, so they simply don't accept the silver taels.

After Jiang Guanfu left, Zhao Hongming was thoughtful and did not take the matter to heart.

He planned to go to the queen's side in the evening to listen to the corner.

See if there is any useful information or clues, and then decide how to deal with it in the future.

In fact, he had no objection to marrying.

Men should get married, women should get married, this is a matter of course.

There is no need to avoid snakes and scorpions.

As long as the other party's personality and appearance are in line with his heart, he can be trusted in the future, and he can be a husband and wife with the other party.

And with the identity of the prince, even if you want to be single and single-minded, the people below may not be able to agree.

In the future, if there are a large number of people who follow him, there will be a hidden danger if there is no heir, and it may cause the team to be separated and cause a fatal blow.

So Zhao Hongming felt that he should still marry a wife in the future, but if it wasn't the daughter of the Huo family, it wouldn't be necessarily.

Zhao Hongming arranged some chores casually, and then devoted himself to practicing in the bedroom.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was working so hard, Chang Wuxian and Wang Bao glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be a little worried.

They found that since His Royal Highness was injured last time, they had been devoted to their cultivation, and they had even gone to the palace school less, and they felt a little self-defeating.

Zhao Hongming didn't know what his two subordinates were thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He was sure that through unrelenting efforts, he would steadily achieve his goal.

This is a fact that no one can change.

In the evening of the same day.

Zhao Hongming took a plate of yellow raw rice and snacks to Kunning Palace.

He cowered in the shadows, placed the snacks he had brought on the ground, sat cross-legged, and silently focused.

He has already reached the five levels of comprehension, and with the improvement of the soul of the Eight Desolations and Immortal Skills, even if there is a certain distance from the people in the palace, he can hear it clearly.

Today he was lucky, the crown prince was still in the palace and was talking to the queen.

After chatting for a while, the two finally talked about him.

"Erchen heard that the queen mother is going to match the eldest daughter of the Huo family for the fifth brother?" The prince's majestic voice appeared in the Kunning Palace: "The fifth brother is not powerful among the princes, if he has the support of the Huo family, wouldn't he also have the confidence to fight for the big treasure, what is the meaning of the queen mother's arrangement?" ”

"Prince, what are you questioning this palace for?" Empress Tu Lihua of Great Wei seemed to have deep disappointment in her tone.

"Don't dare."

Zhao Hongming, who was outside, could still hear that there were still a lot of complaints in the tone of the eldest brother of the prince.

"Before the prince came, did he inform Zhou Bochuan and Zhou Zhan about this?"

"Not yet."

Queen Tu Lihua sighed helplessly: "If the palace wants the Huo family to support your fifth brother, just give the marriage directly, why waste so much trouble?" Can't the prince even think of this layer? ”

There was a burst of joy in the prince's tone, and there seemed to be some burden in his heart: "I hope that the queen mother will teach you." ”

"Think about it, the daughter of the Huo family is arrogant, how can she fall in love with your fifth brother? This is just your father's compromise to appease the Huo family. ”

"Oh?"

"The fifth prince lost his mother since he was a child, and no one took care of him. Now that he is almost fourteen years old, no one even cares about marriage, which is a dereliction of duty on the part of the palace, so it is time to find a suitable wealthy lady for him. As for whether it can be achieved and how he pursues it, that is his business. As long as the royal family puts on a posture, presumably the Huo family will also be able to know. ”

"Prince, do you understand now?"

"Erchen understands, now it is an eventful autumn, everything is based on stability, my father is using the fifth brother to paralyze the Huo family, so that he thinks that my Zhao family does not dare to mess with the Huo family, and show the enemy to be weak, and the Huo family will not be in trouble. As long as this period of time has passed, it will be time to show up with Huo Jiatu in the future. ”

"That's right."

"But what if the fifth brother is unwilling to bend his knees and pursue the daughter of the Huo family?"

"Then coerce and lure him and force him to do it. As a royal child, you always have to take on some responsibilities. ”

"In this way, it's a pity for the fifth brother, and he has been a tool for nothing."

"Prince, it is good for you to have compassion, but it is fatal for the bearer. Although the fifth prince said that he did not have the attention of the ministers of the court and the support of the martial arts forces, but he did not ascend the throne for a day, he is your rival, and if you are merciful to him, you are cruel to yourself. ”

"What the queen mother taught me is that my sons remember."

Outside the palace, Zhao Hongming picked up a grain of yellow raw rice on the plate, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

He also brought a bottle of rice wine and took a sip.

Just as he expected.

It's not as simple as it seems.

If you listen carefully, the queen's methods are also good, and she put a bait with poison on him.

General Huo Yu Huo is now a congenital five-grade cultivator, and the Huo family behind the control of the Eastern Army has a lot of power in the court.

If he was in the past, on the premise of not cultivating martial arts, he was eager to change his situation, and he would definitely not give up such a rare opportunity.

Even if it is a stalker, he wants to get on the line with the Huo family.

And this eats the bait of the queen.

Because the Huo family has been targeted by Emperor Jian'an, it is indispensable to beat and even use force.

When the time comes, he will give everything, and he will become nothing, and the bamboo basket will be empty, and he will return to the original point.

This is all a naked conspiracy on the stage.

Zhao Hongming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had obviously worked hard to reduce his sense of existence.

But in this court, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

I just want to cultivate quietly, why do you all want to force me?

Zhao Hongming knew that he had the identity of this prince, so he would not get Qingjing.

What's even more helpless is that he looks rootless, and he is the best bully among the many princes.

It is still necessary to find a way to get out of the cabinet as soon as possible.

As long as the palace is crowned king, there is no need to suffer from this bird anger.

Zhao Hongming put away the snacks on the ground, raised his head and drank a pot of wine, and the figure disappeared into the distance.
