Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is thinking about his son, and Rong Ping is actually thinking about Rong Zhao.

After Rong Zhao sat down, Emperor Yongming also let people appreciate the wine, today's New Year, there is the king and Rong Zhao's matter, the emperor is in a good mood, with a smile on his face, the courtiers are laughing, singing and dancing.

But under the rise of this song and dance, there is still an undercurrent.

Many people are looking at Rong Zhao, including the three princes, but now their eyes are different from the original. The second prince is complicated, the third prince is satisfied, and the fifth prince's eyes are getting hotter and hotter.

Rong Ping could also feel that the old Zhang of the other side glanced at himself several times.

- They must have envied him for having a good son.

If Rong Zhao is a son, Rong Ping thinks, the Rong family is really a successor, and the three generations of Anqing Wangfu can be prosperous, as far as Rong Zhao's ability and ability are concerned, the new emperor will ascend the throne, and he can also mix well.

Ke Rongzhao is a woman.

In the past, Rongping always felt that this was a big problem, no matter how capable a woman is, she will not have a bright future like a man, and she will eventually enter the back house.

The limitations of the times, rumors and gossip, and even marriage are enough to break a woman's legs, so that she will never be able to walk out of the narrow world from now on.

The eldest princess had been on the battlefield at the beginning, but she could neither be knighted nor enter the court. When you reach the age, you have to get married, and then stay in the princess's mansion to maintain the dignity of a woman, and you can no longer do anything out of line.

Therefore, Rong Ping felt that his son could make the Rong family have a successor. Of course, that's a thought of the past.

Rong Zhao let him see again and again that things that could not have happened happened, and things that could have been impossible were completed. Now Rong Ping thinks, what about her daughter?

What his daughter does is better than all men, and the three of the Zhang family are not as good as his daughter. Rong Zhao is a very thoughtful person.

Concubine Bai and others in the house used to have grievances with her, but Rong Zhao never got entangled in the back house, she saw Bai Yuehua's ability and made Bai Yuehua the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and now she is so busy that she has no time to go back to the house, how can there be any fighting in the back house?

He also knew Liu Wanjun, the woman who had met Rong Zhao, and the two still exchanged letters from time to time, but it was definitely not a trivial matter.

What did Wu Niang look like when she came back? A woman who can't have children, he thinks that the best way forward is for him to protect Wuniang and retire in Anqing Palace.

But Rong Zhao is not, it has only been a long time, Wu Niang's face is ruddy, she has been busy all day, she is very atmospheric when she goes out and enters the house, her eyebrows are stretched, and she looks younger than when she first came back.

As for the criticism, there was no one.

Wu Niang didn't feel that she was in harmony

What's the difference between the others, it's actually the hardest. - His daughter Rong Zhao deserves to be a talent.

He thought that Rong Zhao might not be able to wear a red outfit to make him dignified and proud! Rong Ping looked at Rong Zhao deeply.

Rong Zhao leaned his head and lowered his voice by drinking: "Dad, I know you are very proud of me, but please restrain yourself, didn't you find that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and they are going to stare at you to death? I know I'm good, just a little bit of pride......"

Rongping: "...... Get lost. "

- His daughter Rong Zhao is also worthy of a skinless, faceless and unfilial daughter!

Rong Zhao looked at him helplessly, as if to say, "Dad, why are you so hard-mouthed" "Forget it, I understand"....

Rong Ping looked away with a blank expression. happened to see the other party Zhang Chengxiang quietly scolding Zhang San, Zhang San bowed his head and obediently stopped training.

How good would it be if he, an unfilial girl, could listen to him like this? Rong Ping looked at them with envy.

On the other side, after Prime Minister Zhang Cheng scolded him twice, he raised his head and saw Rong Ping looking at him, his eyes were very strange, like - mockery?

Prime Minister Zhang was so angry that he grinded his teeth.

He must have laughed at himself by having a promising son! The abominable King of Anqing!!

- More than half of the palace banquet.

After all, the emperor was old, so he left the field early to rest and handed over the field to his three sons, so the scene became that the three princes were polite on the surface, but the actual undercurrent was surging.

The officials are all involved, and you come and go.

Rong Zhao also paid attention, after all, she was the person that Emperor Yongming had expressed satisfaction with tonight, and she had spent 100,000 taels, how could they not pull her to talk?

However, when they wanted to pull Rong Zhao in for a greeting, they suddenly found that Rong Zhao had already walked. Rong Zhao sobered up outside.

Dayan Chao Capital is in the north, winter is very cold, and it often snows, tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve is also snowing, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, but a good sign.

The store is brightly lit and lively.

There are also lights outside the hall, and there are palace people shuttling among them from time to time, and Rong Zhao stands at the corner of the corridor, inconspicuous.

She held a wine glass in her hand, looked up slightly at the glass lamp, the falling snowflakes were clearly visible, and the palace people were still clearing the snow outside on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Rong Zhao put one hand behind his back and one hand on the wine glass.

She suddenly thought of King Jin who sang on stage for her tonight, Pei Huaibei, who was also the unknown she once knew.

The first snow that came to the Dayan Dynasty was accompanied by a death crisis and cold, chill thorns

Bone. With such heavy snow in the capital, it may be even more cold in Massachusetts, right? Rong Zhao slowly raised his wine glass, looked at the snow, and said softly: "Happy New Year."

Massachusetts.

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, but heavy snow covers the mountains. Pei Huaibei was not worried about the people, he had been patrolling everywhere for the past two days, and he couldn't rush back to the capital tonight and stayed in the mountains.

Burning the fire, roasting the fire, and warming the pot of wine, even if it is a New Year. Pei Huaibei asked uneasily: "Has the wine been sent?"

The subordinate replied: "Your Highness, rest assured, it's all sent."

Pei Huaibei nodded, "I still lack winter clothes, go down the mountain tomorrow, let the embroidery girls in the capital step up more, and then ask the rich households, if there are any old clothes to donate, and quilts are fine, just give me this king face, donate ......"

Next to him, a middle-aged man said helplessly: "Your Highness, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, have a drink, put other things aside first, winter clothes to see if the emperor will allocate funds." "

Pei Huaibei smiled helplessly. He looked at the vast white outside, and muttered: "I have never been waiting for the emperor......"

"Your Highness?" The man wondered.

Pei Huaibei shook his head, took the liquor he handed over, and moved his gaze to a food box placed not far away.

His eyes were gentle, the corners of his eyes were warm, a smile appeared on his lips, he slowly raised his wine glass, and his voice was soft: "Ah Zhao, Happy New Year, I hope that the coming year will be good."

Capital.

When the wine entered the throat, it was cold at first, and then it was hot and hot, and the body seemed to warm up. Rong Zhao smiled.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a cloak was draped over her body. Behind him, Pei Guanshan's voice was cold: "Isn't it cold? It's elegant to watch the snow and drink?"

It's laughing at her being cold outside.

Next to Pei Guanshan was Pei Chengjue, who took the cup that was already iced in her hand with one hand, and handed her a small hand warmer with the other, the hand warmer

Delicate, wrapped in a plush cushion.

Pei Chengjue looked helpless: "You, are you hiding from people and being afraid of people surrounding you?"

Rong Zhao tightened his plush cloak, hugged the stove with his cold hands, and the whole person warmed up.

She smiled brightly: "Yes, it's better to hide, I don't enter the court, I don't participate in the fight, what are you doing with them?" Pei Chengjue and Pei Guanshan stood on both sides of her, looking at the snow and talking.

"Sometimes, it's not about whether you want to or not, you don't want to stir up such a big movement, others will

Pull you into the water. "With your current reputation, the emperor may confer an official on you at any time, so be prepared in your heart." "What about you?"

"Heh, unless the emperor wants to raise the second prince, he will not give me an official, Pei Shizi will be a matter of time sooner or later......"

Several people whispered.

A moment later, the three brothers of the Zhang family came out.

Zhang Changyan strode over with a plate of snacks: "What are you doing? Why don't you wait for us together. Rong Zhao, do you eat dim sum? The dim sum in the palace is still very good. "

As soon as Zhang San came, it seemed that the atmosphere was noisy all of a sudden.

The hall was staggered, and a group of young people outside the hall were also very lively, and the teenagers were in high spirits.

It was not until the hour of the child that several people returned to the temple. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was completely different, and everyone was sitting in their seats, with smiles on their faces.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Emperor Yongming to return.

"Everyone, let's enjoy the fireworks with me on the building, this fireworks are presented by the Anqing Palace, what is the new product, Ah Zhao, are you confident?" Emperor Yongming smiled.

Rong Zhao stood up and saluted: "The emperor can rest assured, he will definitely give the emperor and all the adults a surprise." Emperor Yongming nodded with a smile and led people upstairs to watch the fireworks. That's the last event for tonight.

Not only these people in their main hall, but also the harem concubines and the ladies who entered the palace, all went upstairs to enjoy the fireworks, and after greeting each other, they waited to watch the fireworks show.

Zhang San squeezed next to Rong Zhao and asked in a low voice, "When will you put it?" Is the new product really good-looking?"

Rong Zhao lowered his voice and replied: "I don't know the previous question, I am not qualified to meddle in the affairs of the palace, I am just a manufacturer who presents fireworks. The latter question, you will find out for yourself later. "

Zhang Changyan was about to say something.

"Whoa—"

With a bang, the fireworks rose into the sky and exploded with a "bang".

The sky was full of fireworks, dazzling and dazzling, and many people immediately widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "Wow."

In fact, the new fireworks of Fuluzhuang are still not as good as modern fireworks, but they have been improved from the previous version, the colors are brighter, and the flowers bloom larger, almost covering a piece of the sky, which is shocking.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of fireworks sounded one after another, and the flowers that bloomed in the dark night amazed everyone. Rong Zhao looked at Zhang San with a smile on his face: "How is it? good no good

See?"

Zhang Changyan was originally watching the fireworks, but when he heard Rong Zhao's voice, he subconsciously turned his head to look at her, and then was stunned.

Under the reflection of fireworks, Rong Zhao's face is overlapping with light and dark, and her eyes are reflected with colorful fireworks, and the corners of her mouth are raised, like the most beautiful color in the world.

Zhang San was stunned.

After a long, long time, he looked at her and replied softly: "Look good......" In the sound of fireworks, no one heard such a sound except himself. While watching the fireworks, Pei Chengjue lowered his head and said loudly to Rong Zhao: "It's good-looking, let the Taoist priest make these things, it's amazing."

Rong Zhao smiled but did not answer.

The fireworks are over, and the praise is everywhere -

It's so beautiful, the next time I go to Fuluzhuang for a banquet, I want to order this kind of fireworks. Should it be expensive?

You don't know that, do you? And the original price!" Yes? A price?"

"Yes, the service of Fuluzhuang is very good, it is said that the fireworks will always strive to do better, the price is the same, just wait for tonight's palace banquet, Fuluzhuang will be completely replaced.

This Rong Zhao is very powerful, Fuluzhuang is more and more popular, and Fuluxuan often updates the dishes, which makes people linger...... "The emperor has praised the people, of course." ”

After the fireworks, tonight's dinner is officially over. The Dayan Dynasty officially entered the twenty-sixth year of Yongming.

The New Year's banquet lasted more than one day, and the first day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Yongming entered the palace as usual.

Rong Zhao sighed.

Rong Ping snorted: "Others can't enter the palace yet, why can you sigh when you go in?" Rong Zhao shook his clothes and got into the carriage, It's not fun.

Rong Ping: "It's not to play!" After speaking, he also followed with a long sigh, and entered the palace, which was indeed sighing.

The carriage clattered along.

Today is not the same as yesterday.

When I entered the palace, the sky was still bright, and Rong Ping and Rong Zhao had just entered the palace, and someone from the palace greeted them and said politely: "I have seen the Anqing Palace, Rong Shizi, and the queen mother has invited Rong Shizi.

Rong Ping's pupils immediately shrank, and he smiled: "Dare to ask what's the matter?"

Empress Zhang is a member of the Zhang family, although the queen has a good temperament, Rong Zhao is still afraid that the Zhang family will make a move to pit Rong Zhao. Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was always eager to beat the Rong family down.

The palace people were very polite: "Back to King Anqing, the queen mother, all the mothers, and the ladies all want to meet Rong Shizi.

”

She looked at Rong Zhao, her face flushed slightly, and added: "Don't worry, Prince Yu, there are Prince Yu, Pei Ergongzi, Zhang Sangongzi, Zhao Gongzi, and so on.

Rong Zhao was stunned.

- Blind date meeting!

The names pointed out are all famous "young sons" in the capital, and they are all single, and there are not only queens behind, but also palace concubines and ladies, isn't this just looking at each other's sons-in-law?

Rong Ping immediately raised it in his heart. This is no better than Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's shot!!

However, Rong Zhao smiled very brightly, and even had two faint expectations, "Thank you, girl, then please lead the way, Rong Zhao will go."

After speaking, she waved her hand towards Rong Ping and happily followed the palace maid.

Screen: ???

He almost jumped in anger.

- The scene of people's sons-in-law, what are you doing with a woman so excited?—— if you are fancied, you dare to marry?!

Rong Ping was in a hurry, breathing heavily, but Rong Zhao had already left his sight briskly.

The ladies are all having a banquet on the queen's territory, and if you want to see Rong Zhao at this time, it will naturally not be indoors, but in the imperial garden, where the queen, the palace concubine, and the ladies and ladies of all families are all in the imperial garden.

The imperial garden in winter, with ice sculptures and snow scenes, is a very beautiful scenery.

"Zhao." Pei Chengjue caught up from behind, looking helpless, Why are you so happy?

Rong Zhao touched his face: "Obviously?"

Well, she did be a little happy. is worried about how to talk to the ladies, and the queen will set up the stage, can you not be happy?

Pei Chengjue was speechless, glanced at the two little palace maids, and lowered his voice: Aren't you in a hurry to get married? When he said this, he was inexplicably in mixed feelings.

"Who wants to get married?" Pei Guanshan came out from the side and asked.

Pei Chengjue let out a long breath and frowned: "You scared me, what are you hiding there for?"

Actually, it's not hidden. Pei Guanshan stayed behind a pillar, and Pei Chengjue was talking to Rong Zhao, so he didn't notice it.

Pei Guanshan: "Waiting for you." His face was expressionless, obviously not looking forward to the next scene, faintly unhappy.

Pei Chengjue: I see that Ah Zhao is so happy, do you want to get married?

Rong Zhao was speechless: "Of course not."

She looked

Xiang Liang, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why are you both a little unhappy?"

Pei Chengjue: "Naturally, I don't want to get married."

Pei Guanshan: I don't want to be stared at.

Rong Zhao walked between the two, tilted his head to look at Pei Chengjue on the left, and then at Pei Guanshan on the right, with a suspicious expression: "You two are not small, you should also get married, right?"

Pei Guanshan raised his hand and knocked her on the head, his face was expressionless, Children don't care about adults, don't look old-fashioned.

Yung Zhao: ...... I'm two years younger than you.

She is seventeen, two Pei nineteen, and they are all young people who have not yet weakened the crown, but in this dynasty, it is indeed the age to consider the major event of marriage. Pei Guanshan looked down at her and smiled slightly: "Oh, is it? The size doesn't look like it. Rong Zhao gritted his teeth: Pei Guanshan, height discrimination is not allowed!! A smile appeared on the corner of Pei Guanshan's mouth, obviously in a much better mood.

Pei Chengjue hugged her, blinked his eyes, and his peach blossom eyes flashed with a bright smile, "Alas, it would be great if Ah Zhao had a sister like you, I would definitely want to get married."

Yung Zhao: ......

Pei Guanshan suddenly stopped.

Pei Chengjue and Rong Zhao turned back in confusion, he hurriedly raised his feet, hurriedly walked past the two of them, and left a sentence: "Hurry up, don't let the queen wait for a long time."

Rong Zhao and Pei Chengjue glanced at each other and followed with a puzzled expression.

In the Imperial Garden.

At this time, there were already many sons arriving, and every time they arrived, the queen always had to say a few words to someone, and the palace concubines and wives next to her would also interject a few words, and the young girls stood quietly and watched.

If there is really a suitable one, it is not a big deal to talk about family affairs on the spot. Zhang Changyan has already arrived and has spoken to them.

As the third son of the Zhang family, he is really not uncommon on this occasion, don't look at the usual Zhang Changyan has no skin and no face, in this kind of formal occasion, he is still very dignified and personable.

Moreover, as the youngest son of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, even if he has a bit of a reputation, it still does not affect his market. When Zhao Gongzi arrived, Zhang Changyan stepped aside and was standing next to the fifth prince Pei Qin.

Pei Qin smiled at him.

Zhang Changyan also smiled politely.

It was at this time that a slight noise sounded among the women, especially the girls, and many people blushed in a moment, embarrassed, and couldn't help but look ahead.

two

The man looked up.

Rong Zhao, Pei Chengjue, Pei Guanshan, and the new "Three Heroes of Beijing" appeared together, and it seemed that the scenery of the garden had become more vivid and exciting.

Today, Rong Zhao is dressed in a low-key manner, but after all, it is the New Year, wearing a cyan dress, which looks very simple, but the details are very exquisite, and the lining makes people look better and better.

And she is on the left and on the right, Pei Chengjue in a white costume, and Pei Guanshan in a dark costume.

Pei Chengjue is as gentle as jade, with a smile on his face, but he looks very polite, like a mask smile that has been hung all year round, not far away. Pei Guanshan had no expression, cold and arrogant, and was alienated from thousands of miles away.

Only Rong Zhao, who was walking between the two, smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and the red mole on his forehead moved slightly, looking like he was in a good mood.

Zhang Changyan: ......

- Why are you so happy?

Seeing that Rong Zhao was happy at this moment, he was not very happy. He looked up at the ladies and found that many of them looked at Rong Zhao, and the corners of his mouth immediately fell.

Next to him, the corners of Pei Qin's mouth twitched.

- Ah Zhao, haven't you forgotten that you are a girl?

He looked up at the women who couldn't stop nodding, and he only felt a little pain in his brain.

The three of them arrived and saluted respectfully in unison.

Each of them was as if they were measured out with a ruler, perfectly.

Concubine Shu smiled, "Look at these three people walking together, this is the most beautiful scenery in the imperial garden, what does the queen think?"

The queen nodded, and her voice was kind: "Yes, the Mo master is like a jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world, look at the girls present, they are all blushing.

She is graceful and luxurious, and today she is wearing morning dew, and she only sits in the pavilion, which is the noblest one. I have to say that the Yunrong series is really good-looking.

The queen is obviously very satisfied, in fact, the morning dew is not too thick, this weather will be very cold, not to mention that this is still outdoor, but the queen still wears it, it can be seen that she likes it.

Of course, after all, it is in the palace, and the charcoal basins and stoves around make this pavilion very warm on all sides. The girls have also been dressed up one by one, and they are very brilliant.

Haha, the queen mother said yes, if I am twenty years younger, I will also fall in love with them, but I don't know which girl has this blessing? The fatal woman laughed and teased.

The queen smiled deliberately: "Then ask them directly to see if our three heroes in the capital have a sweetheart?"

It was a joking tone, and everyone naturally laughed along. But at the same time, they all looked at them, their eyes up and down

I looked at it and couldn't help nodding.

And this problem, it seems that as long as they say that they have a sweetheart, the queen can immediately refer to marriage.........

Pei Guanshan has always been introverted, and he couldn't help but be the first to speak at this time: "Guanshan is still young and has no intention of getting married for the time being." Pei Chengjue: "Chengjue too, don't worry."

The queen was helpless: "You young people, you are really not in a hurry at all, let us old things worry for you." After speaking, she looked at Rong Zhao: "What about Rong Shizi?"

In fact, what these women want to see most today is Rong Zhao, Pei Chengjue, Pei Chengjue, how are they, these women all know that every time there is a banquet, there is also an intersection.

On the contrary, Rong Zhao is the most mysterious and has the least contact. She has only been out for less than a year, and she has already made a name for herself, and she usually doesn't attend many banquets, and rarely has such a close conversation.

They heard about last night's events when they got home. Rong Zhao has a good relationship with the three princes, and Emperor Yongming likes it very much, she is not distressed when she sprinkles 100,000 taels of silver in one sentence, what kind of courage?

There is also the matter of Rong Wuniang in front.

In the eyes of the men, in the matter of Rong Wuniang, Rong Zhao is still a little overbearing. But in the eyes of these ladies - the chosen son-in-law!

"Rong Shizi is really dignified, it is better to see than to hear, no wonder there is a 'fairy name, just now the palace looked at him from afar, and he was a little shocked." Concubine Zheng interjected at this time.
