Chapter 114
Su Wanru raised her hand to block it, squinted her eyes and said with a half-smile: "I'm in the palace, although I have a different status, but it's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

"You! You are so courageous." Mammy didn't expect Su Wanru to block her hand, she suddenly became angry from embarrassment, "Come here, give me a slap in the face of this lowly maidservant of unknown origin."

In the courtyard where there was no one just now, seven or eight female officials suddenly appeared, rushing over aggressively.

Su Wanru glanced at the inner hall.

Even though her status is low, she is also a guest invited by Zhao Yiyu. She is wearing clothes outside the palace, and she entered the palace without Zhao Yiyu's permission. These nuns and maids who have always been winking and cautious in doing things will come up to embarrass her?

When Zhao Yiyu brought her here, it wasn't for any trouble at all, but he clearly wanted to make things difficult for her and let her know the difference in their identities.

"Nurse has such a temper. I don't know, but you treat me like this when I stand here and bump into someone." She glanced at the crowd and sneered, "When my father-in-law taught me the rules in the palace, but Didn't tell me that you have to kneel down and salute when you talk to a nanny, be respectful."

"The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp." The mother said: "Don't use Mr. Si to suppress me, I will not like you today. You are like a slave, help our princess to do something, that's your god Fufen, if you refuse, you are disrespecting our princess, so why can't I teach you a lesson."

"I'm not convinced. I'm risking my life today, and I have to go to the Qianqing Palace to ask the Holy Majesty for a comment." Su Wanru said, pushing the nanny away, and said: "I want to ask the Holy Majesty. If you are invited by the princess to come into the palace to do business, do you have to kneel down when you see someone, if you are a nanny, I will offend you, and the Holy Majesty has trained me, so I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake."

As she spoke, she brushed off the female officer who was blocking her and was about to leave.

"Stop her." Mammy sneered, and said, "You are quite capable. It's nothing more than mentioning the company in a few words, but you actually brought the sage out."

Su Wanru sneered, and said: "Why is Mammy stopping me? Are you guilty?" She stared at Mammy, and Mammy shrank her gaze. Unexpectedly, she kicked a stone and was hesitating what to do. I heard someone from behind say: "What are you making a fuss about?"

Finally, Zhao Yiyu came out of the inner hall with someone's support, and said impatiently: "I can't even rest, it's so noisy, I think this is an outside market."

This girl is really powerful, it is rare to come to the palace, not only does she not get scared, but she can even quarrel with her mother.

He still dares to follow the rules and use his father to suppress others.

The whole group of people knelt down, and the nanny explained: "Princess, this embroidered lady is too arrogant, and she even said that she is going to sue the Holy Majesty. She is her family in the palace, and she can come and go freely. Just do what you want." He added: "I just owe a lesson."

"Since Mammy thinks she is being polite, then why are you afraid?" Su Wanru turned her head to look at Zhao Yiyu, and said, "Princess, everyone says that the rules in the palace are strict. I really don't know how to offend Mammy by standing at the door today." I am not happy, if I am wrong, I will admit it, if not, please ask the princess to let me ask the Holy One to make the decision."

"Okay." Of course Zhao Yiyu would not let her go to find Zhao Zhiang, even if this kind of thing didn't make trouble in Qianqing Palace, it would be embarrassing for Magnolia Palace.Originally, I just wanted to shock this girl and embarrass her so that she would be afraid of her, but I didn't expect her to be quite courageous.

Zhao Yiyu looked at Mammy angrily, and said, "You troublesome thing, go to the back hall to receive the punishment yourself."

The nanny's face was startled, she glanced at Su Wanru from the corner of her eye, and she should go out with her head bowed.

Su Wanru didn't intend to pursue this matter any longer. She was soft-spoken to this person, and she accepted it if she found it good, as long as she didn't suffer any losses, so she was blessed, and said: "Princess, I still want to hang up the screen. If I'm not sure, I won't stop If there is something in the way here, I will leave now."

Zhao Yiyu raised his eyebrows, and said: "I forgot about it, come in." Then, he sat down on the main seat, and then pointed to the wall behind, "On this wall, look at Tim How about two hanging screens?"

She easily exposed the matter just now.

Su Wanru entered the door very calmly, and said, "Princess has good eyesight. If there is a hanging screen here, it must be very elegant. I don't know what kind of pattern the princess likes, whether it is flowers, birds, landscapes, or character copybooks."

"Praise me for being elegant? So I have caught your eye?" Zhao Yiyu sneered, looked at her, then changed the subject, and said, "I heard that you and my tenth brother often have contacts?"

Su Wanru lowered her eyes, and replied: "I dare not say that I have contacts with the prince, it's just a coincidence that Baoying took over the embroidery in the prince's mansion."

"It just so happened that I asked someone to invite him." Zhao Yiyu said: "My tenth brother is the best at these romantic matters among my brothers, and I will also ask him to be my adviser later."

Zhao Yiyu and Zhao Yan had no relationship, and usually they hadn't even spoken a few words, so of course she couldn't invite Zhao Yan if she went to invite her suddenly.

So, she is going to try today, Zhao Yan knows whether Su Jin is here, whether to come or not.

As for Shen Zhan, she has already tried it. After letting Su Jin enter Qin'en Bo's mansion, she let someone drive the carriage out of the city. Shen Zhan did not show up, but the people she sent to follow saw Zhao Yan's Chang Sui Lu. It's done.

Although she only walked around the area and didn't show up, she was sure that Han Zhengying was right.

The woman who went to the temple on the night of New Year's Eve and the woman in Shen Zhan's kitchen was Su Jin.

Otherwise, with Shen Zhan's personality, it would be impossible for his subordinates to follow him.

Su Wanru thought of Zhao Yan, and sighed, she smiled at Zhao Yiyu, but said nothing.

"How old are you this year?" Zhao Yiyu asked.

Su Wanru replied, "Sixteen."

"A little older than me." Zhao Yiyu smiled, "The family belongs to Pingjiang Mansion. Compared with Yanjing, Pingjiang Mansion, which one is better?"

Of course it is Pingjiang Mansion, how can Yanjing compare with the wealthy Pingjiang Mansion.Su Wanru slandered in her heart, and said on the face: "Pingjiang Mansion is quiet and elegant, Yanjing is magnificent, each has its own beauty."

"You are really eloquent." Zhao Yiyu drank tea, "You also learned your embroidery skills in Pingjiang Mansion? I heard that you also participated in the dragon robe that my father will wear tomorrow?"

Su Wanru agreed, and answered seriously.

"I see that you really hit it off." Zhao Yiyu said: "Would you like to come into the palace? The monthly money in the palace is much better than outside, and the wind and rain can't blow it. It's better than you don't know if you show your face in Baoying Embroidery Workshop. How many times stronger."

"When you are old enough to leave the palace, you can still be your aunt, but the value will be much higher."

If you dare to invite me, I will dare to enter!Su Wanru replied: "Minister girls are used to wild things, so they really dare not come into the palace."

"The rules are all taught, what are you afraid of." Zhao Yiyu said for a while, and then heard a female officer outside replied: "Princess, Prince Ning has arrived."

Zhao Yiyu's hand holding the teacup paused, surprise flashed across his eyes, he looked at Su Wanru and suddenly laughed lightly, "What a surprise..." She put down the teacup, held up her skirt and walked out, Wu You, who had been hiding in the inner hall, also came out quickly, passed Su Wanru by, saw her footsteps paused, frowned and said, "Don't be stubborn, she has a bad temper." After saying that, he left.

Su Wanru looked at Wu You with raised eyebrows, and suddenly felt that she was quite interesting.

Zhao Yan stepped in from the courtyard gate lightly, with an elegant posture and a very good-looking gesture. Zhao Yiyu led Wu You to the door, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Ten is here, and my Magnolia Palace will be full of brilliance all of a sudden. .”

"My daughter kowtowed to the lord." Wu You then saluted.

Su Wanru had no choice but to greet him, followed behind and greeted Zhao Yanfu, and said in a low voice, "Kowtow to the lord."

"Little sister." Zhao Yan nodded slightly, looked at Wu You again, nodded, and then his eyes fell on Su Wanru's face. He raised his foot, walked around the two of them, looked down at her, and said, "A Jin , Why is your face so ugly, is it uncomfortable?"

Su Wanru was stunned, she never thought that Zhao Yan would talk to her so directly in front of her younger sister and cousin, in front of the nuns and maids of the whole palace.

The noise outside is just a rumor, if it is like this in the palace, it is a fact.

He is not married yet.

For princes like him, in-laws are even more important to them than fiefdoms. If they marry a high-ranking concubine, have a capable natal family, and be favored by the Holy One, as long as there are no accidents in decades, they will be happy. The future is worry-free.

But now that he is like this, it will have a great impact on his reputation, and those noble ladies and ladies will naturally be more hesitant.

Could it be that there is an extra concubine and concubine in the mansion before my daughter enters the house, and even the three palaces and four courtyards in the mansion will not be peaceful every night in the future.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yan looked at her worriedly, suppressing the voice that only they could hear, and asked, "Have you been bullied?"

Su Wanru pursed her lips, smiled, and said, "No. It's just that I've walked a lot and I'm a little tired."

"That's good, come with me in a while, and I'll take you back in a car." After he finished speaking, he turned around, Zhao Yiyu and Wu You were already stunned.

After listening to listening, watching and watching, the two feel different.

Zhao Yiyu never thought that Zhao Yan would be so straightforward, without hiding anything, she coughed for a long time, and said, "Brother Ten, go... go and sit in the hall."

"No need." Zhao Yan said: "You are looking for me for something, if not, I will take Ah Jin out of the palace first."

Zhao Yiyu couldn't help but glanced at Su Wanru and shook her head, "No more. I came here to see the hanging screen." Then she said to Su Wanru: "You can figure out what to do with the two hanging screens."

Su Wanru said: "Yes!"

"Then let's go." Zhao Yan and Zhao Yiyu nodded, and said softly to Su Wanru: "I'll take you outside, there is a vat of water lilies over there that have already bloomed."

Su Wanru let out an oh, and followed Zhao Yan out.

In the courtyard, Zhao Yiyu and Wu You looked at me, and I looked at you. After a while, Wu You said, "I didn't expect the prince to be so affectionate."

Zhao Yiyu sneered, "It really is a goblin."

Wu You didn't speak, but thought of Li Jun, and decided to go out of the palace to find Li Jun in a while.

Zhao Yiyu was silent for a while, and said: "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion. I haven't been there since the Yamen was built."

Wu You didn't want to go, "Since I'm here in the palace, I'd better go pay my aunt well, lest she say I'm not filial again."

"Go." Zhao Yiyu said impatiently, "I'll go find my father, and I'll go to Dudu's Mansion later."

Wu You went to Fengwu Palace, the queen was putting her hair down and preparing to take a nap, Wu You went straight into the inner hall after the nanny informed her, the queen leaned on the bed and watched her salute, and asked: "You entered the palace with Zhilan? "

"Yes!" Wu You nodded, and said, "I'll come to greet you, and I'll leave the palace and go back."

The queen nodded, looked at her again, and asked, "What did Zhilan bring that Su embroidery lady into the palace?"

"She wants to embroider two hanging screens." Wu You said vaguely, the queen frowned, and said: "Zhilan wants to embroider hanging screens? She didn't like these things since she was a child. Why is her sex changed now? You don't want to be with her." I hide my head and shrink my tail, and I can't find anything if I want to check."

"The princess is for the Marquis of Zhennan." Wu You told the whole story, and the queen sat up when she heard it, and said in surprise, "You mean, Marquis of Zhennan and King Ning like a woman?"

Wu You is actually still not sure, what Zhao Yiyu said was categorical, she heard a little false, "The princess said so. Just now she invited King Ning to the Magnolia Hall. King Ning did not hide anything, and sent Su Jin out personally. The palace is gone."

"Heh!" The queen laughed, which surprised her so much. Shen Zhan and Zhao Yan... Could it be that the reason for their disagreement is because of a woman?

Even Shen Zhan is no exception.

When she originally wanted to get rid of Si Sanbao, she would get rid of that girl together, and simply be an aunt from the embroidery workshop. Wanting her to die would be like crushing an ant... Unexpectedly, she still has such a thing on her body. Relationship.

Now it seems that not only can she not be crushed to death easily, she might have other functions.

Wu You said: "Aunt...Zhilan wants to marry Shen Zhan, please help her."

"Her?" The queen looked at Wu You, and beckoned to her. Wu You walked over, and the queen slapped her on the face, with a half smile and said: "Take your words back with my slap." Tell your father to listen, let him teach you this idiot well."

Wu You was stunned by the beating, his eyes turned red quickly, and he went out covering his face.

"Your Majesty." Madam Liu from Fengwu Palace came in, "Miss Wu went out crying, do you want to chase after her?"

The queen waved her hand and said, "This girl is too stupid, she doesn't use any brains. She actually came to tell me that Zhilan wants to marry Shen Zhan."

"Miss is young." Madam Liu said, "How does she understand the twists and turns?"

The queen rubbed her forehead, looked at Madam Liu, and said: "After tomorrow's work is over, you send someone to Baoying Embroidery Workshop to take a look..." Then said: "This girl might be useful." Madam Liu replied yes.

"Go and see where Zhao Zhongyuan is with that little girl." The Queen twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "He has been silent all day long. I regard him as an honest man. I didn't expect to spend his time on women."

Although Zhao Yan became a prince, he didn't fight or grab his head. The Holy Majesty didn't mention the matter of fiefdom recently, so he was not in a hurry, so he stayed at Prince Ning's mansion with peace of mind.

I can really hold my breath.

In the back garden, Su Wanru and Zhao Yan stood opposite each other in front of a vat. The water lilies in the vat really bloomed. Although there is no fragrance, the color is very beautiful. Su Wanru likes it very much. After looking at it carefully for a while, she said: "This is a palace garden. Is it raised in the house, I didn’t see a brazier standing around it, so it’s turned on now.”

"The tea room is next door, and the fire is always on all year round, providing hot water for half the palace." Zhao Yan pointed to the courtyard next to him, "The courtyard is hotter than the outside, and the water lilies will naturally bloom earlier. .”

Su Wanru nodded, looked at Zhao Yan, and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Okay." Zhao Yan walked with her and said, "Zhilan doesn't seem to have a good temper. If she finds you again in the future, you can send someone to find me. She dare not do anything to you when I'm here."

Su Wanru was really angry today, but since she entered Beijing, she had already thought that there would be such a day, even if she was unwilling, she would not be able to change anything, so she said: "It's not bullying, the princess has a noble status, so my grievances are not grievances." gone."

"Really." Zhao Yan stopped and looked at her, his eyes were gentle and affectionate, and he joked, "I don't know when you became so gentle."

Su Wanru couldn't help laughing, she waved her hands and said, "That's because the prince doesn't understand me, I've always been very gentle."

"Yes!" Zhao Yan nodded, bent over to look at her, "Then can you give me a little more time to get to know you?"

Su Wanru's scalp suddenly went numb, and she coughed awkwardly, "That..." She rarely gets nervous, let alone stutters when talking to anyone, but with Zhao Yan, she is always at a loss when talking about this topic, " Leave the palace early?"

Zhao Yan's eyes darkened, and he nodded and said: "Okay." After the words were finished, the two walked together in the long, seemingly endless corridor, and he whispered: "I'm not familiar with this place, this one Today is the second time walking the road."

"It's been a year since you came back to Beijing, haven't you ever walked by?" Su Wanru was happy that he changed the subject, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "This is the harem."

Su Wanru smiled and nodded, "I forgot."

"Did you get scared that day? There were so many people that day that I couldn't speak." He looked at her, and suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Don't worry about the dragon robe, I have a way to help you eliminate this hidden danger."

Su Wan took a step back in surprise, he actually knew that the dragon robe was broken, so why didn't he tell her, why did he hide it from her.

This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Su Wanru frowned, and was about to deny it defensively, when Zhao Yan continued, "Don't forget, we are in the same boat in this matter. If something happens in the future, Father will ask me, how did you manage to be a security guard that day?" , Did I collude with Si Sanbao and Su Jin to deceive him, how should I answer?"

"I'm sorry." Su Wanru said: "At that time, I had no other choice. I had no time to do so, so I had no choice but to make a bad plan. Unexpectedly, I became a pawn to blackmail us."

Zhao Yan shook his head and said: "It's nothing. It's a smart move to make long-term plans after the current difficulties. What's more, you have always handled this matter very thoughtfully."

"Thank you." Su Wanru thanked, Zhao Yan smiled lightly, the two walked slowly and chatted, all the way out of the palace, and saw a carriage outside the gate of the palace, Lu Cheng was driving waiting, Su Wanru looked at Zhao Yan apologetically , said: "Thank you for your relief today, otherwise I really don't know when I will be able to leave the palace."

Zhao Yan glanced at Lu Cheng, and originally wanted to ask if she didn't want me to send it?But the words turned into, "It doesn't matter."

"Okay." Zhao Yan didn't make things difficult for her, "I'm going to the Temple of Heaven later, and I'll look for you when I get back."

Su Wanru nodded, and Zhao Yan got into her carriage and left. She went to Lu Cheng's side, but just as she was about to go up, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside. She was taken aback when she saw Shen Zhan, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" Oh, I thought it was only Lu Cheng."

"I wanted to enter the palace, but I can't enter the Magnolia Palace." Shen Zhan pulled her up: "I entrusted someone to go, have you been wronged?"

Su Wanru nodded, angrily told him everything inside, snorted, and said, "Let me pour the bath water for her, I can't wait to pour all the water on her face."

Shen Zhan's face darkened. Su Wanru originally wanted to say that he was attracting bees and butterflies and hurting her, but when she saw him like this, she immediately said: "It's okay. Don't fight with a girl, just ignore her." She will be fine, and I will slowly plan other things."

"You take good care of your governor's mansion and the recruitment of soldiers in the guard. I can handle these by myself. Don't worry, she can't do anything to me. I still have my company backing me," Su Wanru said with a smile: "The company asked me to meet him on the fifth day of the lunar new year. It is probably related to Jinxiufang."

Shen Zhan pulled her into his arms silently, and said in a low voice after a while: "You can go to your second brother, I'll be fine here. Write to me what you want to do in the future, and I'll help you Do."

"This is just the beginning. If you see these people often in the future, you will be so wronged." Shen Zhan hated it, and when he thought of Su Wanru being forced to quarrel by a nanny, he wished he could go to the palace, but there was something he didn't want Whatever happens, he goes in and saves people, and after that.

"Be good, be good," Su Wanru looked at him, "Just get used to it, I'll just get angry and complain to you, if you follow along with me, it won't be worth it."

"What's more, no matter how unconvinced I am, our Later Song Dynasty has lost. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I should kowtow to pay my respects in any dynasty." Su Wanru felt relieved and looked at him with a smile. .

Shen Zhan didn't speak, but patted her head.

As the car walked towards the embroidery workshop, Su Wanru told Zhao Yan that Zhao Yan was going to the Temple of Heaven, "Don't you need to go?"

"He is the prince, and he is in charge of inspecting the sacrificial supplies, so he has to arrive early." Shen Zhan said, "I will lead the troops to escort the saint there early in the morning. You should not watch the excitement in the city, too many people will cause trouble."

Su Wan said yes, and got out of the car after talking to him, "When will you pick me up at night?"

"Haishi." Shen Zhan said: "Zhao Dong sent a letter to Prime Minister Xu this afternoon, and he will definitely go to Xu Mansion tonight. We will wait in the inner alley of Xu Mansion."

Su Wanru nodded, and went back to find two dark-colored clothes with Liu Sanniang. After dinner, the two of them spent time making embroidery together. Du Zhou walked back and forth worriedly, "You have to worry about it, don't be caught. If people find out, it will be dangerous if they don’t have time to escape.”

"I see, you've been nagging all night, go back to sleep." Su Wanru pushed him out, Du Zhou muttered, hugged the kennel and led Er Gouzi back to his room.

As soon as Haishi arrived, the two quietly opened the corner door, and Shen Zhan was waiting for her at the door. The three of them walked along the alley like thieves. After walking for a while, they saw a ladder built in a corner. Su Wanru and Liu Sanniang followed Climb the ladder and lie on the roof.

"Look at the time, it's coming out soon." After Shen Zhan finished speaking, he saw the corner door opened, and Su Wanru and Liu Sanniang looked at each other excitedly.

There is an alley under the house, Su Wanru saw Zhao Dong came out sneakily with two people, the corner door was closed quickly, the surrounding was pitch black, the three walked silently, detoured along the remote back alley, and just turned a corner Suddenly seven people came out from the corner, without saying a word, they went up and entangled Zhao Dong's two guards, and fell down after three or two moves.

Zhao Dong was covered with a sack.

Su Wanru heard a flurry of sticks ping-pong-pong, and the two guards were pinned down on the ground, staring at them.

No one spoke, only the muffled sound of Zhao Dong being beaten. After a while, the man in black let go of them and quickly disappeared into the alley.

It was only half a cup of tea before and after.

"Your Highness, how are you?" The two guards got out of trouble, hurriedly went up to remove Zhao Dong's sack, and supported him, Zhao Dong fell to the ground with less air and more air, and said: "Quick, help me back, this is not a suitable place Stay for a long time."

The three of them didn't dare to stay for a moment, and quickly left the alley.

Su Wanru looked at Liu Sanniang, Liu Sanniang smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "I didn't think it was anything, but now I see it is especially relieved."

"It's just the beginning, there is something more to relieve hatred." Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Shen Zhan smiled lightly, patted her head, and said, "Ghost girl."

Liu Sanniang turned her head and couldn't help the corners of her mouth trembling. She didn't expect Shen Zhan and Su Wanru to be like this when they were together, which was unexpected.

Zhao Dong was wounded and went back. He didn't dare to disturb the imperial physician. He called the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription to take medicine. It was all internal injuries. It seemed that a bone in his chest was damaged. He lay on the bed in pain and almost passed out.

"Your Highness." His personal servant, Eunuch Lu, wiped away tears, "We must investigate carefully, and we must not suffer this loss in vain."

Zhao Dong waved his hands, his face turned pale from the pain, "Tomorrow is the Father's sacrifice to heaven, but tonight there are people blocking the door of the Xu Mansion. There is no reason for this, think about it."

"Ah!" Eunuch Lu's expression changed drastically, "Your Highness, does someone know about your secret dealings with Prime Minister Xu?"

Zhao Dong nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Looking at the situation, he is probably the prince's man." He asked again: "Has Zhao Zhiting arrived in the capital yet?"

The eldest grandson of the emperor came back from Fengyang, and was delayed for half a month on the road. He told the emperor that a landslide blocked the road. In fact, he knew that he met a woman on the road and was fascinated. He forgot time to come back.

"It is said that he will go directly to the Temple of Heaven tomorrow morning." Mr. Lu said, "You think the crown prince did it, but the crown prince..."

Zhao Biao has a soft temper, he doesn't seem like someone who can do such a thing, Zhao Dong narrowed his eyes and said, "I can't think of anyone else except their father and son."

"Could it be His Highness Fifth?" Lu Gonggong said: "Prince Ning also..."

Zhao Dong waved his hand and said: "No matter who it is, I will never let him go." Then he closed his eyes, sweating from the pain, and Eunuch Lu asked: "You are so injured, do you want to go tomorrow. "

"Go. If I don't go, I don't know how many people are happy behind my back." Zhao Dong bowed again in pain.

On the second day, Yanjing almost turned into an empty city, all the shops on the street were closed, and the Temple of Heaven just built in the suburbs was crowded with people, Zhao Zhiang saluted and kowtowed on it, Prince Zhao Biao was beside him, and for a while, only the words of Qin Tianjian could be heard People were chanting words, and the audience was silent.

Zhao Dong knelt down, sweating all over his head. Zhao Xu felt strange and asked, "What's the matter, I think you look bad. Are you sick?"

"I feel a headache when I wake up in the morning." Zhao Dong lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Zhao Xu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The sacrifice lasted until noon. Zhao Zhiang stood on the high altar of heaven and bowed to the sky, then turned to look at the crowd. His golden dragon robe was shining like a dragon descending from the sky.

Zhao Zhiang was extremely happy, stroked his dragon robe inlaid with scales, walked down like a tiger, and several princes followed behind him...

The crowd approached, Zhao Zhiang got on the imperial chariot, Shen Zhan led someone to escort him, glanced at Zhao Dong from the corner of his eye, and remembered what Su Wanru told him last night, a smile flashed across his eyes.Zhao Zhiang's imperial chariot got up and someone behind suddenly bumped into Zhao Biao, Zhao Biao staggered and bumped into Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong was injured, the ribs in his chest hurt so much that he couldn't stand up for a long time, so he waited for the carriage to go back with his breath. The collision almost killed him, and he fell backwards uncontrollably , everyone exclaimed and stretched out their hands to pick it up. Zhao Dong fell to the ground and passed out immediately.

There was a moment of confusion, Eunuch Lu came up to support him, and several people carried Zhao Dong into the car, Zhao Zhiang lifted the curtain, looked at his sons with a gloomy face, threw the curtain with a thud, and said angrily: "Trash!"

Zhao Yan stepped into the car with a slight pause, and Zha Rongsheng followed, rubbed Zhao Yan's knee, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with the seventh prince, it seems that he is sick."

"It's not like being sick." Zhao Yan replied, "It's like being injured."

Injuried?Zha Rongsheng was very surprised, "I haven't heard of this matter. He didn't even come out of the capital, so how could he be injured? Why didn't you mention it to the Holy One." !

There must be something else here that they don't know.

In the car next door, Zhao Biao and Zhao Zhiting were in the same car. He looked ahead and said strangely, "Father, Uncle Qi fell down after being bumped. It's not hot today, so it must be heatstroke."

"It doesn't look like it to me." Zhao Biao thought about it for a while, then looked at his son and asked, "You came back too late, and you didn't leave early for such an important matter. Just follow me to the palace and explain to the Holy One."

"I don't know why it's such a coincidence. It's been raining in the south of the Yangtze River, and halfway through a mountain, who knows, it collapsed and blocked the road. If we couldn't get through, we had to camp in the same place and wait for seven or eight days. "Zhao Zhiting said helplessly: "If I knew this would happen, I should have set off after the Chinese New Year."

"I don't blame you, I'm afraid your grandfather will be angry. After the dragon robe incident, his temperament is a little different..." Zhao Biao thinks that Zhao Zhiang may be related to his age. After the dragon robe incident, he changed, where did he change? He couldn't say it, but it didn't feel the same as before.

"I know." Zhao Zhiting nodded yes.

Zhao Biao looked at his son, thought for a while, and then asked: "Let me ask you something, some people say that you met a woman of unknown origin on the road, but is it true?"

"I know one, but it's not that the origin is unknown." Zhao Zhiting said, "I'll talk to you in detail when I return home at night."

Since his origins are not unknown, Zhao Biao has nothing to reprimand him. His son is going to get married when he grows up, and it is normal to have one or two women.

The group returned to the palace in a mighty manner, Zhao Zhiang took off the dragon robe, and told Duke Du: "Keep it well, I will reward that one again..." He thought for a while, and Duke Du smiled and said: "Mr. Su. "

"Yes." Zhao Zhiang nodded, "In a few days, let Si Sanbao bring her to the palace, and I will reward her face to face."

Eunuch Du asked someone to hang up the dragon robe, and waited for Zhao Zhiang to take a bath and change clothes, and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician came back from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and said it was nothing serious, but he suffered from the wind and cold and felt a little weak."

"Useless stuff." When he mentioned Zhao Dong, he became angry, "Knowing that I am sick, I should stay at home and run out to embarrass myself. People think my son is a piece of paper. I can't stand it anymore."

Eunuch Du persuaded: "The Seventh Prince also wants to serve you, please calm down, no one has thought of this."

"Okay, don't say good things for him, pass a message to him, so that he doesn't have to come over tonight, and get well." After Zhao Zhiang finished speaking, the courtiers waiting outside came in one after another to congratulate him, and they kept talking until the afternoon. After the crowd dispersed, the queen drove over and said with a smile: "I heard that today the common people are intimidated by your majesty, and spontaneously pay homage. I really wish I could go and see it too."

"That's right." Zhao Zhiang was really satisfied, "In a few days when you take your wives to the imperial temple, you can also open the mountain gate and let the people go up to the mountain to pay homage and be admired by all people. Follow me, this is what you deserve."

The empress was very touched, nodded and said: "Okay, my concubine listened to you, opened the mountain gate, and asked the common people to worship, and to be honored by our Long Live Lord."

"Haha." Zhao Zhiang was in a good mood, holding the Queen by the hand, and said, "Let's go."

The queen should be, and the two of them went to the front hall to hold a state banquet tonight, entertaining the envoys from all over the country and important officials in the court.

The husband and wife entered the gate of the palace, the waiter sang and drank, the two entered slowly, and there was the sound of bowing and drinking below.

"Let's get back together, today all the people are celebrating together, so there is no need to be so formal. Let's have fun and drink to our heart's content, and I will accompany you to make a fuss." Zhao Zhiang raised his glass, and a hundred people saluted together, the scene was magnificent.

Zhao Yan sat down, and among the brothers at the table, only Zhao Dong did not come. After a slight pause, he heard Zhao Jun ask: "Lao Qi hasn't come, is he still in good health?"

"It's wind and cold." Zhao Yan replied.

Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Yan, as if looking at him, but he couldn't see anything, so he nodded and said: "When the banquet is over, call all brothers, let's go see him together."

"Listen to Fifth Brother." Zhao Yan responded, Zhao Jun smiled and said a few more words to him, then raised his head to listen to Zhao Zhiang.

After Zhao Zhi'ang's congratulatory speeches, everyone started toasting each other while tossing and changing cups. Zhao Yan looked at Shen Zhan and saw that there were many people around him. They came and went to drink, but he drank without changing his face.

Shen Zhan's popularity in the court is still very good.

"He has always been a good drinker." Zhao Jun said, "The Marquis of Changxing is here too, do you want to go over and have a drink?"

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Jun, shook his head, and said, "No, I don't drink much, and if I get drunk later, I will be rude."

"Then I'll go." Zhao Jun said with a cup and got up to leave.

Suddenly, there was a silence on the scene, a man in different clothes came out, bowed and said to Zhao Zhiang: "My lord!"

"This is an envoy from Siam." Eunuch Du and Zhao Zhiang introduced, Zhao Zhiang nodded and said, "What is the envoy?"

The Siamese envoy said: "This time I am waiting to congratulate you and bring a gift to you, the Holy Majesty. Can someone carry it up!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhao Zhiang was very happy, "It is not easy for envoys to come to us from thousands of miles away, but they even brought gifts. I must appreciate it."

The Siamese envoy should be, and ordered people to bring up the gift, a huge coral tree, and a very bright ruby, which was as big as the mouth of a bowl, polished smooth and round, and the whole body was transparent and ruddy when the light illuminated it. Beautiful.

"This is a special product of our country, and it is also a special gift chosen by my king, to congratulate the Holy One on being crowned a great treasure and rule the Great Zhou!"

Zhao Zhiang came down in person, looked at the ruby, nodded repeatedly, and said: "This gem is really rare." After he finished speaking, the Siamese envoy said: "Besides these two, there is one more thing, please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhiang was slightly stunned, and then the Siamese envoy clapped his hands, and saw two women with turbans and trousers at the side of the hall, twisting their waists and carrying something like a blue cloth plaque, everyone exclaimed, The Siamese envoy smiled triumphantly.

"This is..." Zhao Zhiang was puzzled, and the Siamese envoy said, "This is something that Her Highness the Princess of our country personally made before I came, dedicated to the Holy One."

As they said that, the two beauties pulled the blue cloth, and everyone saw clearly that it was a pair of embroidery, with blue sea and blue sky embroidered on it, the water was extremely clear, and the big rain fish swimming under the water could be seen, the sky was as clear as a wash, and the sky passed by The bird's feathers are clear, which makes people feel refreshed for a moment, as if standing on the beach and blowing the sea breeze, immersive.

"Wonderful!" Zhao Zhiang nodded slightly, beckoning the queen to come down, "Come and see, this embroidery is very interesting."

The queen was supported by Nanny Liu, nodded slightly and said: "This Suzhou embroidery is stitched well, and the dyeing is also extremely delicate. It is a masterpiece." It was embroidered first and then dyed, which is really rare to see.

Zhao Zhiang nodded.

The Siamese envoy said: "My princess has learned embroidery for five years, and the master she inherited also went to your country. Now that she has embroidered such a picture and sent it to the Holy One, it is also a thank you to your country." He also said: "I don't know." Does your country have embroidery geniuses like our Highness, can you give me one piece in return, so that His Highness can communicate, learn from each other, and increase mutual knowledge."

Zhao Zhiang didn't understand these things, but there must be better embroidery than this in the dignified Zhou Dynasty, so he said casually: "This is a trivial matter, just wait for three days, and I will send you a gift back, so that you can experience it." , the skills of our country's embroiderers."

"Okay. Then I will wait for three days." The Siamese envoy said, "If it is not as good as our Highness's embroidery, Your Majesty, please promise to hang this embroidery in your royal study, and it will not waste our Highness." of the heart."

"How can this thing be hung in the imperial study room? It's simply inappropriate." Prime Minister Zuo Liren said, "No."

The Siamese envoy said: "This matter is decided after winning or losing. If our Highness is not in time, naturally there is no need. Since this is a competition, naturally there must be rewards and punishments."

Xu Liren wanted to say more, but Zhao Zhiang had already smiled and said: "Okay, let him do it." There was no way they would lose.

Zhao Zhiang nodded and returned to the seat, and when the banquet was over, she and the empress went back to Qianqing Palace together, recalled this matter, and ordered: "I will leave this matter to you, and you must choose a high-quality masterpiece, so that they, such small countries, can come here Open your eyes."

"Yes. The concubine will let the people from Jinxiufang come into the palace tomorrow, bring more embroidery, and ask the queen mother to choose it together." The queen replied.

Zhao Zhiang was displeased when he heard this, "If you don't mention me, you'll forget about it. If the person in charge dies, I won't pursue it, but I definitely don't want to stay in this embroidery workshop in the future. What is it like to be in charge?"

The queen's face changed slightly, and she wanted to argue, but she finally endured it and said, "If you don't go to Jinxiufang to pick out finished products, then the concubine will go to the inner warehouse to see, maybe there are some products in stock."

"That's fine, as you please." After Zhao Zhiang finished speaking, Eunuch Du replied, "My lord, Princess Zhilan asks to see you."

Among several daughters, Zhao Zhiang liked this youngest daughter the most, so he nodded and let her in.

Zhao Yiyu entered the door and saluted, and said straight to the point: "Father, I heard that embroidery is going to scare the envoys of those small countries, isn't it?"

"Have you heard?" Zhao Zhiang sat on the chair, half-truthfully said: "The other princess can embroider such a piece of embroidery, not to mention astonishing as a heavenly being, it is also a rare high-grade one, let's look at you, I know that I'm idle all day long."

Zhao Yiyu went up with a smile, took Zhao Zhiang's arm, and said, "Everyone has their own strengths, Father, how can you make others want to destroy your daughter's prestige?"

Zhao Zhiang couldn't help laughing.

"If you want to talk about embroidery, let me recommend one for you. She is very famous now. I heard that her embroidery skills are one of the best among thousands of people, and she is also very smart." Zhao Yiyu said: "Father, you also know her."

Zhao Zhiang thought of Su Jin, the embroiderer who impressed him the most recently, "You mean that Aunt Su in Baoying Embroidery Workshop?"

"It's her." Zhao Yiyu said: "You just order her to embroider a pair of embroidery for you and submit it to you within three days, and don't embroider anything else, just embroider... the rivers and mountains of our country, so that those envoys will envy and worship you." .”

"Good idea." Zhao Zhiang thought it was good when he heard it, "I'll just listen to you."

The Queen frowned at the sidelines, but then endured it again. Jinxiufang provoked Zhao Zhiang's eyes, and she didn't dare to mention it again. Now that there is no one to take care of it, she didn't even dare to make a decision, because she was afraid of Zhao Zhiang I know, I'm going to be unhappy again.

The matter of the dragon robe has become a thorn in his heart.

"Empress, you are going to issue a decree to ask Su Shi to embroider a picture of mountains and rivers within three days." Zhao Zhiang was very happy, and patted Zhao Yiyu's hand, "Finally, it will be useful once."

Zhao Yiyu smiled.

Three days to embroider a pair of embroidery, even if she has three heads and six arms, she can't do it.

When the time comes and loses, let's see what she does.
