Chapter 166
"He left the city?" Su Wanru was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Zhan, "He...should have thought of it too, right?"

She thought the same as Shen Zhan, Zhao Yan didn't know more about these things than they did.

"It should be." Shen Zhan sat down with his arms around her, and said in a deep voice, "That's fine, if he doesn't know, it's not fair to him."

Su Wanru hummed, looking worried, "When he comes back...will it be..." Could it be that everyone is strangers, or enemies?

People have feelings, they have been together for so long, no matter what is mixed with this emotion, but it is undeniable that it does exist.

She cares about Zhao Yan because she appreciates and likes him sincerely.

Turning against a friend, no one would want to see it.

"There is no choice." Shen Zhan patted her on the head, "Are you going to persuade him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"

Su Wanru shook her head, "In this world, who is dark and who is bright, who knows." She didn't dare to say that she was bright, so how could she be qualified to judge that other people's position is dark.The reason why everyone is against each other is because of interests.

Just keep it in mind.

"That's fine." Shen Zhan said: "It doesn't matter if he goes there, the water will be muddy and there will be fish."

Su Wanru didn't speak, she leaned on his shoulder and didn't know what she was thinking, but it was only for a moment, she took a deep breath, and said: "It's not surprising, anyway, there will be this day sooner or later, but I have to hurry up, and then hurry up."

"We have time." Shen Zhan replied.

Su Wanru nodded, thinking of something, "Remember to order the two things you just said, especially Master Cui, don't forget."

"Obey!" Shen Zhan said.

Su Wanru laughed, held his face and kissed him, "It's better for my Lord Marquis."

Shen Zhan's eyes lit up, he took advantage of the opportunity to grab her in his arms, and kissed her hard on the lips, Su Wanru blushed, pushed him and said: "In this situation, is it appropriate for us to do this, the atmosphere is not right, Lord Hou. "

"What kind of atmosphere." Shen Zhan said: "I kiss my own wife, but also pay attention to the atmosphere?!"

Su Wanru laughed, thought for a while and said: "Also, you sent someone to keep an eye on Zhuang Yinan. From what I know about Hu Qiongyue, she will definitely go to see him tonight."

Shen Zhan nodded repeatedly, "Got it, got it."

In the Tongfu Inn, Zhuang Yinan had dinner leisurely, but was not in a hurry to rest, but turned to go out and strolled on the street. Yanjing is also very prosperous, but it can't be compared with Chengdu, and it is stable here It has not been a few years, so behind the prosperity, there is always a sense of exaggeration.

After walking for an hour, he went back. Standing at the corner of the street, he saw the carriage of the Prince's Mansion leaving slowly. He raised his eyebrows, brushed his robe and went upstairs, closed the door and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, he handed the invitation to the Prince's Mansion.

When Zhao Zhiting heard the news, he said to Hu Qiongyue: "...Let me just say, he must have gone out last night because of something, we should wait a little longer."

Hu Qiongyue should be.

They went to the space last night, she knew that Zhuang Yinan would not miss her, how could he not see her when things got to this point.

But obviously, Zhuang Yinan didn't want to contact her in private, but every step he took and every thing he did, he had to make a big splash for everyone to see.

Look, Xiao Shan has found his daughter, and it seems that Xiao Shan's daughter is her Hu family.

In this way, his purpose of coming to recognize relatives was achieved.

"Your Highness, I...I want to have a few words with him alone later." Hu Qiongyue whispered: "Can you think of a way?"

Zhao Zhiting did not respond to Hu Qiongyue's request, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, you wait for me here, I will go to see him, and take him to visit the Prince's Mansion in a while, and you wait for me at the carp viewing pavilion in the backyard."

Hu Qiongyue was very happy, nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Between us, why are you being polite?" Zhao Zhiting agreed, and went to the front. Hu Qiongyue tidied up her makeup and went to the carp viewing pavilion alone. The pavilion is ventilated on all sides. The weather in May is already hot, but she felt cold all around while standing , because she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, and the bait the other party gave her was something she desperately needed.

She is like a fish caught by a fisherman, and who is the fisherman?
she does not know.

Standing quietly for a while, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Zhao Zhiting and Zhuang Yinan coming. She was blessed, and Zhao Zhiting said: "Tell me, I have something to do, I'll come over later."

Zhuang Yinan glanced at Hu Qiongyue, he expected it, and seemed to have no reason to refuse, so he followed Zhao Zhiting.

"Your Highness, go slowly." Zhuang Yinan saluted and watched Zhao Zhiting go away. He turned his head and nodded with Hu Qiongyue, and said, "Miss!"

Hu Qiongyue said: "Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Yinan looked at her and said: "Miss is in good health, I am going to go back today and write a letter to report to my lord, if you want to write a letter, my subordinates will send it back."

"Sir." Hu Qiongyue said: "There is no one else around, so you don't have to do this."

Zhuang Yinan smiled, "Miss, do you have something to explain to your subordinates?"

"Why do you do this, what is the purpose of doing this?" Hu Qiongyue asked: "I am just a girl, I can't do anything for you, and I won't do anything for you, so no matter what your purpose is, in the end will be disappointed."

Zhuang Yinan raised his eyebrows, but his attitude was still respectful, "Miss misunderstood, I really just came here to recognize my relatives, and I hope that the lady can go back to the house with my subordinates, at least, let the master and wife see you."

"I have inquired about it. Your mansion lost a child 22 years ago, but not 14 years ago." Hu Qiongyue said, "Do you still pretend to be with me?" The opponent's reaction.

Moreover, this is also her intuition, it would be too easy for them to lie, the Chengdu Mansion belongs to Xiaoshan.

Zhuang Yinan shook her head and argued: "Miss, I'm afraid I misunderstood, but everything my subordinate said is true. Miss, although it's nice outside, it's not as good as at home."

"Okay!" Hu Qiongyue was very disappointed, and found that this person was too slippery to tell her the truth, so she immediately gave up asking, and asked instead: "What is your purpose? concubine?"

Zhuang Yinan paused, and replied: "This matter depends on Miss."

"If I say that I am not a concubine, I won't do it." Hu Qiongyue's tone was cold and aggressive.

Zhuang Yinan said: "Miss, you are the daughter of Xiao Shan, the Jiedu envoy of the Chengdu Mansion, so you are naturally qualified to be the concubine of the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"Okay!" Hu Qiongyue said: "I will leave this matter to Mr. Zhuang. I look forward to the good news."

Zhuang Yinan saluted, "This subordinate takes orders, otherwise you will be disappointed, miss."

"Then there is Mr. Lao." Hu Qiongyue blessed, and the two had nothing to say, "Then I will send Mr. out."

Zhuang Yinan cupped her hands, "Miss You Lao."

The two walked on the small path one after the other, Zhuang Yinan looked at Hu Qiongyue, he had also asked about this woman, although she was the adopted daughter of Uncle Panyang, but she entered the Yingtian Jinxiu Workshop from Pingjiang Mansion, as for the identity of Hu Qiongyue. For the adopted daughter, it has been a matter of the past two years.

Her surname is Hu, which has nothing to do with Uncle Panyang's Hu surname.

Yesterday, when he saw her in the imperial study, he thought she knew about it and was in collusion with the sender, but when he saw her then, he was sure that she didn't know about it either.

This is strange, the other party actually used their influence to help an unaware person.

It seems that he wants to find out the other party through Hu Qiongyue, I am afraid it will not be easy, that person is too cautious in doing things.

Not a single trace was left.

Don't worry, the master said that the process is not important, what matters is the result...the result they want is to find that person.

When the two arrived at the outer courtyard, Zhao Biao also came back, and met Zhuang Yinan at the second gate, looking at him...

Slightly fatter, with soft eyes, looks honest and honest, this should be Zhao Biao, Zhuang Yinan immediately stepped forward to salute, and said: "Student Zhuang Yinan, I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhuang." Zhao Biao nodded slightly, "I planned to invite you to my home, but I never thought that I would meet you today. It is better to meet you by chance than to invite you. Come to my study."

Zhuang Yinan is still willing to chat with Zhao Biao, after all, he is the next monarch, a rare opportunity.

"Yes!" Zhuang Yinan and Hu Qiongyue saluted, "What this subordinate said is that I should ask Miss to think again."

Think about something, put on airs.Hu Qiongyue thought in her heart, but said on the face: "Yes!" Then said: "Mr. will leave later, I won't send it off."

Zhuang Yinan cupped his hands and followed Zhao Biao to the study.

The two sat down first and second, and the waiter served tea. Zhao Biao asked, "I have never been to Chengdu. I don't know how Chengdu is different from Yanjing."

Zhao Biao asked casually, without any other meaning, just curious, but Zhuang Yinan mentioned it in his heart, and replied: "It's hard to compare to one or two."

What he said was simple and rude, Zhuang Yinan wanted to see if Zhao Biao was really as good-tempered as the rumors said.

"Sir, you're being modest." Zhao Biao chuckled, and said, "However, apart from Chengdu, I have traveled to and stayed in other places. In the end, I still think Yanjing is the most comfortable place."

Zhuang Yinan was a little surprised, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes! The students feel comfortable after coming here for a few days."

"Xiao Shan's ability is still admirable. He managed the Chengdu mansion in an orderly manner." Zhao Biao took a sip of tea and said, "I just didn't expect his son to be so rough."

Zhuang Yinan also sighed, but did not speak.

"However, Mrs. Hu can't go back with you. You should write to Xiao Shan and make it clear that since your daughter has found her and knows her well, there is nothing to worry about." Zhao Biao said: "The royal family is not the same as ordinary people, she is already Now that the person in charge of the court is gone, naturally he will stay with Zhiting."

Zhao Biao's words were actually a reminder, and Zhuang Yinan cupped his hands and replied: "Your Highness, the students understand. But poor parents in the world, our master and wife have been studying for more than ten years, and now we can't see each other after we find them. This is really cruel. Yes. Especially our wife, who is not in good health, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the past two years."

"Your Highness, please allow me to take our lady back to fulfill my filial piety." Zhuang Yinan said.

Zhao Biao shook his head and said, "Take her away, what should I do if I pity her child?"

Zhuang Yinan also sighed, hesitant to speak, paused, he suddenly knelt down, and said: "Your Highness is kind, to redeem the students for lying. Our young lady was separated at a young age, without the guidance of her parents and elders, it is inevitable that she is naive and ignorant. Although she It is His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, but after all, it is a concubine with no name and no distinction. If this situation is passed back, how can we adults be embarrassed, and let the young ladies of the clan hold their heads high? His Highness said that it is different from the people's family, and it is true. If In the homes of ordinary people, the students should not say anything else, and have already brought the young lady home."

"You mean...to get a title?" Zhao Biao asked.

Zhuang Yinan nodded, "To tell you the truth, His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson asked us to come and visit our daughter by himself yesterday, but... but our lord has come, how can we save this face?"

It is really unreasonable for the dignified Chengdu Jiedushi to sit in the tea room of the Prince's Mansion and visit his daughter who is a concubine.

After all, the eldest grandson of the emperor is only the eldest grandson of the emperor.

"I will discuss this matter with my father, and you should start first." Zhao Biao said: "What you said is not unreasonable. It is good for in-laws to have two surnames. Although we are the royal family, kindness is the most important thing, and we can do it." , we naturally hope that everyone will be happy."

"Your Highness, students, please remember, when you go back, you will repay our adults every sentence." Zhuang Yinan cupped his hands, Zhao Biao waved his hands, and said with a smile: "I am also a father, so I naturally understand what it means to be a father. It's okay, you Go ahead, I'm not sure if this will happen or not, but I will forward this matter to my father."

Zhuang Yinan thanked him, knocked his thanks and went out.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, he stood at the entrance of the alley for a moment, then walked away with raised eyebrows.

What exactly does that person want? It is impossible for him to believe that the other party just wants Hu Qiongyue to be the concubine... Is it possible to wait for a woman to become a concubine before becoming a queen to gain benefits, but there is still a prince above Zhao Zhiting, he The desired benefits will have to wait at least another dozen or 20 years.

That person is not too young, can he wait?

Zhuang Yinan bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the way, went back to his room, did not go out for three days in a row, wrote for three days, and read for three days.

Master Cui usually gets up very early. After waking up, he has to read for half an hour, and then go to the morning court with breakfast. This is a habit developed for many years, but today he did not read. Mrs. Cui accompanied him for breakfast. However, the husband and wife were not in the mood to eat. After a long time of stirring up a bowl of porridge, Mrs. Cui said: "...Master, I have wronged you for my daughter."

"Don't think about it." Cui Daren said: "There are always these things when people are in the court. Now that I am active and prepared, it is even more foolproof. You just wait at home."

Mrs. Cui nodded yes, she held the official hat for Mr. Cui, the husband and wife went out together, got into the sedan chair at the second door, Mrs. Cui stood at the door and watched Mr. Cui go away.

"Ma'am." The mother beside her helped her back, persuading her: "Master is such a smart and prudent person, nothing will happen. What's more, don't you have the help of Zhennanhou and Aunt Su?"

Mrs. Cui nodded yes, and said: "Zhennanhou and Aunt Su are really loyal, just because our master helped them once, they still remember, now they help us back and forth, no wonder Zhennanhou is supported by thousands of troops, Su Auntie is a weak woman who can turn business into benevolence and righteousness."

"That's right, when other people do business, they really do business. After you come and talk to each other, Aunt Su has made a lot of friends. Although she is a businessman, she has not acquired the slightest habit. It's really rare." Mom said.

The two returned to the inner courtyard while talking.

In the early morning court, as soon as Zhao Zhiang sat down, Master Cui came out of the train, with a three-point memorial, wearing a black gauze, with a look of remonstrance, and said: "Your Majesty, I implore you to send troops, and let the Marquis of Zhennan lead the troops, and take them away." As a Jiedu envoy, he killed the Xiaoshan rebels."

As soon as his words came out, the whole room was silent, because it was too sudden and without warning.

It's all right, how can you say that you have hit the Chengdu government?

"What do you mean?" Zhao Zhiang's face suddenly darkened, the courtiers didn't know, but he understood, Mr. Cui was upset and wanted to save his family's face, "What did the Chengdu Mansion do to make you so angry."

Master Cui handed the three-point memorial to the top of his head, and said: "What I said is all in it."

"Say it! I don't have time to read what you wrote." Zhao Zhiang said.

Master Cui withdrew the memorandum and said loudly: "The reason why I invite you to fight is firstly that Xiao Shan is arrogant and has no ruler in his eyes." This is because when Zhao Zhiang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Xiao Shan did not come because of the long journey.

But in fact, Xiaoshan wasn't the only one who didn't come, and no one said anything at the time.

"Secondly, Xiaoshan embezzles taxes and has no law." This is about the fact that the Chengdu government collects taxes and does not turn them over to the treasury.

Master Cui counted ten, one, two, three, four, and finally he knelt down again, and swung his black hat forward, "I implore the Holy Lord to kill these thieves and take them back to Chengdu Mansion!"

The stupefaction was indescribable, someone tugged Lord Lago's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Master Cui, what is this for?"

No one is stupid, anyone who wants to go to Chengdu in a good way, the treasury is full, and now Dazhou is like unstarched rice, it looks like rice, but it is actually bran.

"I don't know." Master Ge didn't know, he also felt very surprised.

Someone next to me muttered, if you don't know, we don't know even more.

Mr. Ge was taken aback. How could everyone think that he must know about Mr. Cui? He and Mr. Cui are not from the same discipline, from the same hometown, nor in the same yamen, and they are not very familiar with each other... Well, they are considered familiar. In private, everyone In fact, there are still a few back and forth.

That's not right, when he has something to do, he first goes to see Mr. Cui, Mr. Fang, Mr. Shi and others. It's not like following the trend, but he just somehow feels that everyone is a little involved.

After people have involvement and relationship, they will always feel a little more closeness and trust in their hearts.

Why is that?
"Aren't your daughters studying in girls' schools? Yesterday I heard that Aunt Su also posted widely, inviting all the parents in the girls' schools to hold a parent-teacher meeting to offer suggestions for the graduation ceremony of the students in June."

Mr. Ge knew about this matter, Mrs. Ge was inconvenient to go, so he was asked to do it for her.

"What does the children's matter have anything to do with us?" Master Ge waved his hand, and didn't want to say anything more. During the moment when he was distracted, His Majesty had already scolded him several times, "...you are a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and you came to ask for a fight. , did you not sleep last night and dreamed this morning. Take your black yarn and get lost!"

Zhao Zhiang was like this, he said it directly when he was unhappy, and scolded those who disagreed, so that he would not accept the memorial and stay in the middle without expressing his attitude.

"Your Majesty!" Cui Daren said: "Your Majesty, if you don't stop, it will cause a catastrophe." He also said: "I also know that Xiaoshan's first staff member, Zhuang Yinan, is in the capital. I went to Tongfulou yesterday to see him." He, I met him once back then, so I knew him. He must have come to the capital to plot something wrong, to inquire about the secrets of Yanjing, please send someone to capture and kill him immediately, and use it as a sacrificial flag."

No one echoed him, but Master Cui's voice was very loud and imposing, echoing in the hall, it was as powerful as a dozen people.

Zhao Zhiang wasn't surprised that Master Cui knew that Zhuang Yinan was coming, but he yelled like this now, maybe some idiot really ran to kill him.

Isn't this provocative? Chengdu Jiedu made it necessary for him to withdraw, but he can't do it now before the time comes.

He really didn't know that Ai Qing, whom he liked a lot, was actually a thorn in the side.

"Back to court!" Zhao Zhiang slapped the dragonrider, and stood up abruptly, "I've been chattering all morning, talking nonsense."

When the words fall, people leave.

All the officials who hadn't spoken in the morning were left behind, and someone came up and said to Mr. Cui: "...Master Cui, you are making trouble. I still have a lot of things to report. If you make such a fuss, I didn't even say a word."

"Forgive me." Master Cui picked up the black gauze hat, patted it on his head, "I invite you to make an apology for my morning tea today."

Master Fang smiled and said, "Success. When you go to the parents' meeting, you still have to invite me to dinner."

"And me." Master Shi pulled Master Ge, "We, don't forget, together, Ruyun Pavilion!"

Master Cui chuckled, and shook hands with Master Shi, "A meal in the Ruyun Pavilion is my monthly salary, sir, you are trying to eat me down."

Master Ge also laughed, and a group of people walked out while talking, there were seventeen or eight people.

"When did these people get together?" Xu Liren was puzzled, and someone beside him replied, "My lord, they are talking about the Xianzhen girl's parents' meeting."

Xu Liren frowned and didn't speak.

However, the news that Master Cui made a big disturbance in the Golden Temple and wanted to fight against Chengdu spread, and it did not end. Early the next morning, Master Cui was still the same. He knelt down, and Zhao Zhiang’s eyes were red with anger, pointing at him for a long time and unable to say anything talk.

Master Cui repeated what he said yesterday again like a cannonball, this time Zhao Zhiang left in a rage after only listening halfway, and came back after walking halfway, pointing at Master Cui and said, "Come here for me."

Master Cui held his hat and handed over to his colleagues, followed Zhao Zhiang to the imperial study.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Zhiang said: "I don't know, when did you become a stupefied young man, and you actually called for a fight? If I agree, will you lead troops to fight?"

Master Cui knelt down and said loudly: "Surrender your life to go to the country, and see death as home."

"Go and die." Zhao Zhiang said: "You still play this trick with me, you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Master Cui continued to speak righteously: "My lord, everything I said is true."

"Who doesn't know that the national treasury is empty now, what are you going to use to fight Chengdu?" Zhao Zhiang waved his hand, "If you want to talk again tomorrow morning, I will kill you."

Lord Cui bowed his head and said nothing, Eunuch Du came in and whispered in Zhao Zhiang's ear: "... Your Majesty, Zhuang Yinan is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Let him in." After Zhao Zhiang finished speaking, he pointed to Mr. Cui and said, "If you make trouble, you can make trouble for me."

Master Cui bowed and went out, walking in a hurry, Zhao Zhiang took a sip of tea, and said to Duke Du helplessly: "... I don't know if he has lost his mind and is crazy, and he is making trouble with me. I don't know how things will go. Why, you still force me, and I won't give him face if I get in a hurry."

"Master Cui, this is also... there is no other way," Eunuch Du laughed and said, "This is the first time I have seen Master Cui like this. For the sake of their children, parents all over the world have the same heart."

Zhao Zhiang snorted coldly, and said: "Could it be that I have no children, I am not only thinking about my children, but also the people of the world."

Eunuch Du was about to speak, when he saw Eunuch Shui shaking anxiously at the door, he immediately went out and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lord Cui and Zhuang Yinan started a fight, and they said they would kill Zhuang Yinan instead of tens of thousands of soldiers and sacrifice the flag!" Eunuch Shui said, the corners of his mouth trembling. Master Cui is a civil servant, and so is Zhuang Yinan. Personal everyone...

It's hard to say.

"It's just nonsense." Eunuch Du stomped his feet and turned his head to look at Zhao Zhiang, he hesitated for a while before going in, Zhao Zhiang was furious, "Let Wang Dahai go and arrest Cui Dewen."

Eunuch Du pulled Zhao Zhiang, "Your Majesty, this...would you like me to take a look?"

"Okay, you go and have a look." Zhao Zhiang was terribly annoyed, Eunuch Du said and went, and he saw Master Cui and Zhuang Yinan making a move from afar.

Being dragged by others, Zhuang Yinan said: "Our adults are loyal and have no second thoughts. What you say is slander, and your heart can be punished."

"I, Cui, have half-words. Let me ask you, why the Chengdu government doesn't pay taxes, why doesn't Xiaoshan come to Beijing, he hides in Chengdu and doesn't come out, it's his heart that can be punished."

It turns out that all literati in the world are the same, which is wrong. It should be that all parents in the world are the same.

Master Cui is for the children, and their adults are also for the children.

Zhuang Yinan said: "Don't go, let me go to the Holy Master for an evaluation." Then he dragged Master Cui to the imperial study, Master Cui said: "Just go, who can be afraid that you will fail."

The two went again, and met Eunuch Du on the way, and the three of them went to the imperial study together, arguing.

Zhao Zhiang rubbed his forehead, looked at the two people, Zhuang Yinan said: "Your Majesty, this person is insane, talking nonsense and slandering our lord, I beg His Majesty to make the decision and avenge our lord's injustice."

"Hmph." Master Cui said: "I didn't slander even a word, even if Xiao Shan is standing in front of me, I still say this, what kind of person is he?"

Zhuang Yinan was furious, "Our adults are dignified Chengdu Jiedushi, you actually..."

"Jiedu Envoy." Master Cui looked triumphant, "My daughter is about to marry the grandson of the emperor, and in the future..." He stopped halfway, as if he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Zhiang pointed at Master Cui, trying to kill him.

"So that's how it is." Zhuang Yinan stopped arguing with Master Cui, and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to let the students take us back, otherwise the students will have no face to go back to see our adults, students might as well commit suicide here and apologize with death .”

Zhao Zhiang frowned, "Why?"

"This man is crazy, he read sage books in vain, how can the daughter he raised be good." Zhuang Yinan said: "In the future, our lady will share a room with the daughter of such a person, our lady will be too wronged."

Zhuang Yinan said, crying, sitting on the ground, crying loudly, without any image.

Master Cui twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he had met an opponent, "How did you talk, what happened to my daughter, our daughter loves chess, calligraphy and painting, and is full of knowledge, no less ignorant than you..." He could only say half of the words, because the rest Half too irritating and direct.

"Wang Dahai." Zhao Zhiang said: "Send Master Cui back personally." After all, Master Cui was not punished in front of Zhuang Yinan. , doesn't it mean that you deny Master Cui's words.

He wants to fight in Chengdu, but not now, this is his attitude.

Wang Dahai came in and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry." Then he took Master Cui out, Master Cui was still yelling, his voice cracked, and he stopped when he got out of the palace gate, and he cupped his hands with Wang Dahai, saying: "Thank you!" Lord Wang."

"Master Cui, go slowly." Wang Dahai returned the salute, showing a little more admiration for the scholar.

Master Cui returned home, Mrs. Cui greeted him, and personally helped him to wash and wash. After the husband and wife closed the door, she asked, "How is it?"

"As expected, Zhuang Yinan cooperated very well. He should have guessed my purpose. He is Xiaoshan's number one aide." Cui Daren said: "According to the situation, within two days, Yudie's marriage should be I can go back."

After all, the Holy Majesty issued an imperial decree, even if you want to go back on your word, you still have to step up.

"Then are you going to court tomorrow?" Mrs. Cui asked.

Master Cui was very tired. After drinking the tea made by Pang Dahai, he felt much more comfortable. He shook his head and said, "I'm going to take sick leave and rest for three days."

"It's okay, I'm really tired these days." Mrs. Cui felt distressed, but she was very happy when she thought that her daughter didn't have to marry Zhao Zhiting.

Sure enough, on the second day, Zhao Zhiang asked Eunuch Du to deliver an oral order in person, reprimanding Master Cui, and said: "...Since Aiqing likes poetry, then copy the White Horse Chapter a hundred times, and present it to me for reading in ten days."

To actually tell him "return from death suddenly", Zhao Zhiang was so angry.

Master Cui received the penalty.

The next day, Kun Ning Palace issued a decree and reprimanded Master Cui. The old queen mother said: "...he must not be the father-in-law who governs the court, he is going to teach the children badly!"

Only Mr. Cui was mentioned, not Ms. Cui.

This is to save face and bottom line for Master Cui.

Zhao Zhiang had no choice but to issue an imperial edict, withdrawing the imperial edict of bestowing marriage, and then made Hu Qiongyue a side concubine, and temporarily assisted the crown princess to take care of the family affairs in the mansion!

Although this is not the main concubine, she has assumed the responsibility of the main concubine.

Zhuang Yinan knew that this was Zhao Zhiang's final bottom line, it was impossible for him to let Xiao Shan's "daughter" be his concubine.

Unless Xiao Shan disbanded the [-] forbidden troops of the Chengdu government and stepped down from the post of Jiedu envoy, otherwise, there is no need to talk about it.

That's the thing.

All are happy.

Zhuang Yinan stayed for another two days, "secretly" left 5 taels of silver notes for Hu Qiongyue, and left to return to Chengdu.

After hearing what Zhao Biao said, Zhao Zhiang nodded slightly, and said: "It can be seen that Xiao Shan still cares about this daughter. After a year or two when I invite him to go to Beijing again, he will not dare not come."

"Father Huang Shengming." After Zhao Biao finished speaking, he said hesitantly: "Father, Master Cui..."

Zhao Zhiang waved his hand and said: "He should have learned that the Hu family is Xiao Shan's daughter, so he didn't want his daughter to be overwhelmed by someone after the Jin family. Give Xiao Shan a warning."

"Although Cui Dewen has his own thoughts and goals, he makes sense in everything he says, and it's for his daughter's future, so I can understand." Zhao Zhiang rubbed his forehead, "The position of concubine has been vacant for the past two years, but Hu Over there, you must instruct the Crown Princess to never let her give birth to any more children!"

The queen has already ordered this matter, Zhao Biao should be.

Outside the palace, Su Wanru was in Xianzhen Girl School, Cui Yudie pulled Su Wanru with a smile all over her face, "My father said, it's thanks to you and Lord Hou reminding me this time, otherwise we wouldn't have divorced smoothly."

"Thank you for what we have done, we are just a matter of one sentence. You have to thank your father very much. He is a scholar and an official for several years. He is upright and upright. This time, he made a big fuss for several days because of your marriage, regardless of his image. Pity the world Parental heart, you have to be filial to him in the future."

"What my aunt said is true." Cui Yudie wiped away her tears, and said again: "I must be filial to my father, but I must respect and thank my aunt and Master Hou. Please accept my respect and thanks to my aunt."

Su Wanru helped her up, and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite to me? Although we are teachers and students, we are also friends. You can't do anything for a friend. I will be thanked even if I use my words. How unfair."

Cui Yudie laughed, and said, "Gu Gu's words sound like a man's."

Su Wanru smiled lightly, and said, "The difference between men and women doesn't matter." As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow with Cui Yudie.

Cui Yudie blushed, stomped her feet and said, "Auntie is too bad," and ran out.

Su Wanru stared, did she say anything? She didn't say anything.

"Remember to remind Master Cui to attend the parents' meeting at You tomorrow." Su Wanru said.

Cui Yudie responded and walked away.

Su Wanru got up to go out, Zhao Yan's workshop was next to her, but now the door was open, but his people were not there.

After walking for several days, I don't know what happened to him.

Thinking of Zhao Yan, she sighed.

In the prince's mansion, Hu Qiongyue was sitting alone in front of the dressing table. The figure in the mirror was very clear. The mirror was bought at Tianxia Department Store, and it was much clearer than the bronze mirror she used before.

World Department Store...

Su Wanru should know, she is Zhao Zhiting's side concubine now, and, within two or three years, there will be no concubine in this mansion.

And in the future, there won't be any.

As long as she can gain a firm foothold, the position of concubine will be hers sooner or later.

She put down the comb and opened the dressing box. Suddenly, she saw a letter in the dowry box. Her heart skipped a beat, she took out the letter with trembling fingers, opened it, and there were only two words written inside, "Congratulations! "

The handwriting is messy and there is no sharpness to speak of, so naturally the notes cannot be discerned.

Who, who has entered her room, put this letter here, who?
"Tweety." Hu Qiongyue opened the door, and Tweety stood at the door and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Hu Qiongyue pointed into the room, "Apart from you, who else has entered my room this morning?"

"No, no one in the courtyard has been in since you ordered it. Madam, is something missing?" Tweety looked panicked.

nobody?
That's right, when the other party entered her room, how could people see it? She shook her head and said, "I haven't lost anything, you can go about your business."

She closed the door again, sat down on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, put her hand next to the pillow, and touched a small package again, she exclaimed in shock, her face paled in shock!

"Tweety." Hu Qiongyue said: "Get me a carriage, I want to go out."

She went to Zhuang Yinan again and asked clearly.
