"But isn't there still a few of your adult sons here, why do you want to make her a little lady?" Zhu Lian listened to Zhao Huan's speculation, and also felt that it might be the truth, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Even His Royal Highness can't bear this stigma, isn't there still a third brother?" ”

Third brother?

Zhao Huan felt aggrieved when he thought of him: "My father values him so much, how can he be willing to damage his reputation!" ”

When Zhu Lian heard Zhao Huan say this, his heart was also a little sad, Queen Wang died early, and Fulang, as the eldest son of the official family, should have been infinitely beautiful, but because there was no backing in the palace, it was difficult to walk step by step.

The third prince Zhao Kai, his biological mother Wang Guifei is favored, and there are four siblings around him, he is smart and smart, and he is the most valued and loved by Zhao Ji among the princes.

"Your Royal Highness, you have been wronged~~" Zhu Lian hugged Zhao Huan sadly and patted his back with his hand: "But we are not afraid of him, you have the eldest son, and there are ministers in the court, even if the father is eccentric, he will not do anything to you!" ”

"I know, it's just that I've been unhappy for a long time, and I always want to talk to you, and at the moment, only you and Chen Er are close relatives." Zhao Huan was a little moved, and he buried his face in Zhu Lian's bun: "I heard that the third brother is going to participate in the spring festival of the coming year, according to the palace attendants, he is very likely to achieve fame." ”

"So what, if his mother is Mrs. Zheng, we say that we have to be afraid of two points, but he is not!" Zhu Lian snorted lightly in his nose: "He can only find these crooked ways to please his father!" ”

said that the selection of officials in the imperial examination is crooked, and there is only Zhu Lian in the whole world!

Zhao Huan couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that Zhu Lian was trying to make himself happy, anyway, it was a love story in the boudoir, and Su Xing didn't refute her, his heart was very warm, and he only felt that Zhu Lian was a gift from God to him.

But I heard Zhu Lian say again: "My father told me a few days ago that my youngest sister Feng Ying has the blue eyes of the official family and has been summoned twice by Wang Guifei. ”

The warmth in Zhao Huan's heart flowed away in an instant.

So, is the Zhu family planning to step on two boats?

"Father said that His Royal Highness is favored by the official family, if he marries my younger sister, with the affection of the two sisters, he will definitely help His Royal Highness in the future." Zhu Lian seemed to be unaware of Zhao Huan's stiffness, and continued.

How useful can the relationship between sisters be in the face of power?

Zhao Huan's heart was slightly cold, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

……

The snow stopped for a day, and the snow from the Ninghe Hall to the Jade Hall had already been swept to the palace road by the palace people, and after a day of bright sunshine, it had already melted.

It was still early, and when Zhao Fujin saw Chunlan, he could still see the flattering smile on her face.

"Emperor, the slave is about to pick you up!" Chunlan stepped forward to replace Qiongyu, lowered her voice and said: "Today, the official family has been entangled by several ministers for a morning, and my mood is a little bad, Liu Niangniang is waiting in the palace." ”

"You've got a heart!" The corners of Zhao Fujin's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing two good-looking dimples, and thanked Chunlan.

Liu Guifei was recommended to Zhao Ji by Queen Mingda, and she also had some incense with Zhao Fujin and her sisters.

Some, but not many.

The hall burned charcoal, and offered incense, and the smell was very good.

Zhao Ji is used to enjoying it, even if he is in a bad mood, he will not abuse himself.

Liu Guifei is plump and beautiful, and she is very good at dressing up, in the scorching winter, she only wears a red gauze, just knee-high, and several gauze belts are tied on the exposed red gauze pants, and the ribbon is tied with a bell.

It's very pleasant to the ear and good to listen to.

Zhao Ji sat on the soft lying floor, holding the cup in one hand and the cup in the other, and he had already started eating.

Zhao Fujin entered the door, and happened to see Liu Guifei leaping and turning, and under her white and tender feet, it was as if she had stepped on auspicious clouds, flying out of a distance half a person high.

When she saw Zhao Fujin, Liu Guifei's movements were stagnant, and when she fell, there was a "bang", and the sound of landing directly covered the sound of the bell.

"I've seen Daddy, I've seen Liu Niangniang!" Zhao Fujin didn't seem to notice, and bowed his knees, but greeted the two people directly.

Liu Guifei hid her expression in time, and was about to say something kind, but she heard Zhao Ji say: "Let's go back to the palace with Wen first, I have something to talk about with Fu'er." ”

Yes?

Are you trying to drive yourself away?

Liu Guifei is nameless, when she was in the palace of Queen Mingda, she was given a name and text by Queen Mingda because of the same surname, which has been used to this day.

In the past, she drank and danced with the official family, and never gave up halfway, but as soon as Emperor Mingde came today, the official family let herself go - Liu Guifei was a little uneasy in her heart, she had not slept for a long time since she gave birth to Princess Hefu in July, and finally designed a new dance, and originally thought that she could stay overnight.

"You go back to the palace first, and later, the widow will look for you!" Zhao Ji saw that the beauty was uneasy, and immediately coaxed: "If you want to eat, go to the kitchen of the Jade Hall to get it." ”

Concubine Liu Guifei was overjoyed at this time, immediately thanked her, and said to Zhao Fujin: "Princess Hefu is already able to climb now, if the emperor is free, you might as well come to my palace to sit." ”

Is this inviting me, or is it inviting Zhao Ji?

Zhao Fujin slandered in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Certainly, definitely, Liu Niangniang rest assured, it's easy to go." ”

After she put on a heavy white-haired cloak and walked out of the palace gate, Zhao Fujin was called into the hall by Zhao Ji and sat down: "Come on, come on, Fu'er, come and sit here, Yanxi, serve food to the emperor!" ”

Zhao Fujin sat on Zhao Ji's left hand, and while the food was still served, he said to Zhao Ji: "My daughter has caused trouble for her father." ”

"It's okay, the widow told you a long time ago, you just have to do it, and the widow will be your solid backing!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and put down the wine glass in his hand: "It's just that Fu'er needs to be careful in the future, like this, no matter how much money you do, you can't accept it!"

Since they have criticism, let's just copy the house, why bother to accept that bit of silver, but end up full of shame! ”

"Daddy is right." Zhao Fujin admitted his mistake very sincerely: "My daughter received money at that time because although Qin Xiang was prodigal, he did not make a big mistake, and the reason why he was imprisoned was related to his daughter?" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji was stunned: "You are in the harem, and you have not made enemies with these families, how could they rather break your arm and drag you into the water?" ”

Zhao Ji is really very smart, Zhao Fujin said it so vaguely, he can directly guess the essence of the problem.

Zhao Fujin had a few difficulties on his face: "Speaking of this, it is still related to his daughter's accumulation of wealth."

Chen Zhang, the commentator of Dali Temple, was the first batch of people who paid money to buy officials, and his daughter was extremely impressed by this person, and she was afraid that he was not worthy of his virtue, so she placed someone around him.

When he went to arrest Qin Xiang, he had already inquired about the ins and outs of the matter.

The grandfather of the Fang family, after Fang Linsheng was killed, forced Mrs. Fang and Fang Linsheng's only bloodline, Fang Yuning, to commit suicide and clear the name of the entire Fang family.

At that time, the people who were arranged by her daughter's side by Chen Zhang's side felt that this matter was inappropriate, and promptly instigated Chen Zhang to turn around and take away the mother and daughter. But he saw a servant in the Fang family, it was Meng Yuan Meng's family's Lang Jun who was skillfully disguised.

At that time, he felt that something was wrong and reported the matter to me in time. Zhao Fujin sighed: "I haven't offended anyone on the surface these days, but secretly I have blocked the way of many people, Meng Jialangjun will appear at the scene of the murder, and he is dressed so strangely, there must be some ulterior motives."

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, and it is extremely difficult to defend against it.

So the daughter decided to follow their plan.

Therefore, when Mrs. Bai took 500,000 taels of silver to buy her life, her daughter left the silver money, pretending to replace Qin Xiang with a death row prisoner, and guided the Meng family and the people behind her to continue to act.

Well, that's why the 500,000 taels of silver didn't come to you, Daddy. Zhao Fujin explained.
