Chapter 17: The Undercurrent

Zhao Jiyue didn't know how she got out of Kunning Palace, and when she left, she was still thinking about the words of the Empress Dowager, the marriage of Princess Da Song was never decided by herself, she could understand. or marry a general, or marry a great Wenchen, but there has never been a princess who will marry a martial artist on the rivers and lakes.

The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been two different levels.

"Ji Yue, you have just recovered from a serious illness, you should cultivate well. The Empress Dowager Gao patted her hand and said gently. Zhao Jiyue said, "Grandma, I have been practicing now, and I feel that my body is much better, and it should get better soon." ”

Gao Shi smiled, and her eyes flashed with kindness, "Although the land flying technique is a martial art that cultivates both internal strength and light skill, it is still a little worse than the internal strength and mental method of the flower gong, you can go to Zhao Ji to get the flower gong when you have time, it will only be good for you." Gao Hou said very easily, as if in her opinion, Zhao Ji's mother and son did not dare to resist her will at all.

"Hmm. Grandma, don't worry, I will practice martial arts. It will no longer worry you and the queen mother, nor will it worry the royal brother and cousin again. Zhao Jiyue nodded.

The two chatted for a while, Gao thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Jiyue, you are also older, it's time to consider marrying, have you ever had a crush, I will make the decision for you." ”

Zhao Jiyue's face flushed, she instantly thought of her cousin Huangshang, but she denied it in a blink of an eye, after all, they are blood relatives, but the relationship is better than that of brother and sister. "Grandma, what do you say, how can my granddaughter have someone she likes, she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she doesn't know how long she can live, so how can she still have someone she likes. ”

Empress Dowager Gao stroked her hair, "It's okay, grandma introduced me to a person in the rivers and lakes, his name is Pan Dao, your destined person." Zhao Jiyue was stunned, she didn't expect that Gao Hou really didn't seem to be joking, she was serious. "Empress Dowager, are you serious?"

"Of course, do you think Ben Hou will tell a lie?" Gao became a little dissatisfied, she didn't like people to doubt her. "Grandma, I didn't mean that, I just ......" Zhao Jiyue hurriedly looked at her nervously, and her tone fluctuated violently. "It's just that why isn't it a general who is famous, or a scholar who is a scholar. Gao said it for her. Zhao Jiyue also didn't understand, she opened her mouth, "Marriage has been a major event since ancient times. Parents are in charge, and as a royal princess, she naturally has the consciousness of marriage, and she also knows that she can't make her own decisions, but marrying a martial arts person doesn't seem to be beneficial to my Great Song, why is this?"

Empress Dowager Gao looked at her with satisfaction, "I'm very happy that you have this kind of thought at a young age." But there are some things that you can't understand. You just have to follow the fate of fate. Let's not talk about this for now, let it be. ”

Zhao Jiyue returned to her bedroom safely, she sat on the edge of the bed in a daze a little tired, at this time. Huang Shang and Zhu Tian came back happily, their eyes were very surprised.

"Look, cousin, we've brought you something. Huang Sheng and Zhu Tian shouted across a room. They were excited. Zhao Jiyue's spirit was shocked, she walked out of the inner room and stepped forward to greet her. "Cousin, why are you here. Did you bring me something to eat?"

Huang Sheng interrupted her, "No. Zhao Jiyue said again, "Is it funny?" "No. Huang Shang didn't hide it, he took out a book, and on it were the three big characters of Nian Huagong. "Cousin, look, I helped you deceive Zhao Ji's little brother Zhao Ji's flower trick back, you can take a good look, and you won't have to worry about the recurrence of the old disease in the future. ”

Zhao Jiyue was also happy, she was naturally happy not to get sick, but it was too much for her cousin to deceive a child of a few years old, she turned her eyes and looked at Zhu Tian hoping that he could understand.

Zhu Tian was still dressed as a eunuch, and he stood up and said briefly, "Princess, don't worry." This matter was also exchanged for several precious calligraphy and paintings, didn't Zhao Ji like to write and paint, so we voted for him in exchange for this martial arts cheats. Anyway, there are not many people who know the Tao, and it is not important. ”

"But Xiao Ji is only a boy of seven or eight years old, how can he know this? Zhao Jiyue didn't believe it very much, even if the other party likes calligraphy and painting, he shouldn't be so sensible.

Zhu Tian explained, "Yes, Zhao Ji is young, but there is a person next to him, named Gao Yu, who is also agreed by the other party. It is said that it was because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager, so it was changed. ”

"Gao Yu is the nephew of the Empress Dowager. I haven't seen it, but I've heard it. It's just that why would he help us?" Zhao Jiyue was very smart, she thought of more. But it doesn't matter, the other party wants to be promoted, and he also wants to ask for himself.

She opened the flower gong, looked at it delicately, and then closed it, "Cousin, Ah Fu, we still practice together, so we can have a reference for each other." Both of them agreed, one of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts, can learn powerful martial arts, so why not. The three of them got together and turned on the flower gong.

In another palace of the palace, a woman in palace clothes sat at a table, her eyes flashing with joy from time to time. "I didn't expect my son Zhao Ji to also have the breath of a true dragon, as long as Zhao Xu dies, my son will be the emperor. "She is the concubine Xiang of the dynasty.

Xiang and Empress Dowager Huang are about the same age, and they are equally beautiful. But her mind was much more complicated, her eyes looked in the direction of Kunning Palace, and a cold light flashed inadvertently. "Niangniang, General Wang is here. A message pulled her back to reality.

Xiang's expression was restricted, and she hurriedly shouted, "Pass quickly." After a while, if there was really a general coming from afar, Xiang's eyes flashed hesitation, but soon she made up her mind, and the teacup fell to the ground suddenly. "How can this be reasonable, doesn't the emperor care about brotherhood at all, he even kills his own brother, is he still human?" Xiang wept silently, and he didn't wipe it off, just kept crying.

Xiang saw General Wang crying louder, "How is this good, does the emperor really want to kill them all?" Wang Dang stepped into the house, his face twitched, it seemed that he had heard the secret of the royal family, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. "Minister, the king should see Xiang Guifei. ”

Xiang Guifei seemed to have just discovered him, and pretended to wipe away her tears, "General Wang, please get up quickly." You and I are world friends, so you don't have to be so polite. Wang Dang was not polite, he got up and said, "Niangniang, I don't know what you are looking for me for." ”

"My son Zhao Ji was born smart, and he was appreciated by Zhao Shihuang's uncle at a young age, and he will be known as a virtuous king in the future, and he can also be honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Originally, it was nothing, and my son would not fight for the throne, but unexpectedly, the current emperor is narrow-minded, and he actually sent several killers to assassinate him. It doesn't matter if I die, but my son is only six or seven years old, how can I bear to let him suffer such a hurt. Please also ask General Wang to teach me how to be good. Xiang said that tears fell again, and she walked in front of Wang Dang and wanted to kneel.

Wang Dang's face turned blue and uncertain, of course he knew that all this was an excuse, but he couldn't give up his glory and wealth, he couldn't refuse the temptation, and once he succeeded, he would be a hero from the dragon. "Niangniang's words are serious, and I have been friends for generations, and I can't watch Ji'er die inexplicably. Don't worry, the king will definitely protect the prince. 10,000 city guards are on call at any time, and as long as there is a disturbance, they will be the first to support. ”

Xiang was overjoyed, she saluted and said, "Thank you General Wang for your kindness, once my son succeeds, the Wang family will definitely become the first family forever." (To be continued......)
