Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 98 Progress
"Who is it?" Su Wanru listened intently, the horse's hooves kicked and trampled, there should be quite a lot of people, "Do you want to go down?"

Shen Zhan frowned, and replied: "It's several princes and the sons of several mansions."

Zhao Xu, Zhao Jun, Zhao Dong, and Zhao Jun's future brother-in-law, Cai Chengzhi, the eldest son of the Yongjiabo Mansion, Ma Yuxiao, the second master of Dingchenghou, and Zhao Yiyu, the princess of Zhilan, also brought no less than a hundred servants and servants. The mighty bodyguards can be described as extremely lively.

"Go back." Su Wanru felt disappointed, "There are so many people, there is nothing to play."

Shen Zhan has nothing to worry about, but she just doesn't want Su Wanru to be seen by such a person, and she certainly doesn't want to show her face. People who don't need to know, don't need to socialize at all, "Let's go another way."

Su Wanru nodded.

"Fourth Prince." Shen Zhan didn't intend to get out of the car, "It's a coincidence that I met everyone here, and Shen had a little wine, and it's not suitable for the wind, so I won't get out of the car."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and Zhao Dong looked at each other, then Zhao Xu said, "It's okay. We are all from our own family." Then he said, "You are going to burn incense on the mountain. I didn't expect you to believe in Buddhism."

"I'm free, just come for a walk." Shen Zhan frowned slightly, "I have agreed with the abbot, this year's head stick incense will be given to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a female voice, "So it's for you. I don't know who robbed me of the incense stick." He urged the horse to run over, stretched out his long whip, and wanted to lift the curtain of the car, "Marquis Zhennan, you..."

The curtain was lowered with a swish, Zhao Yiyu didn't lift the curtain, she was stunned for a moment, then heard Shen Zhan's indifferent voice, "Princess, it's not suitable for Shen to blow the wind today."

"What are you doing here on the mountain if you can't blow the wind?" Zhao Yiyu paused, and then said again, Zhao Dong had already coughed, and frowned, "Little sister! Don't be rude."

Zhilan Princess Zhao Yiyu is three years younger than Zhiyang Princess Zhao Shanru. She has just turned fifteen, and she is quite eccentric. She doesn't like to associate with women. Instead, she is willing to ride horses and shoot arrows with her elder brothers. It is also said that she followed Zhao Zhiang when she was seven or eight years old. After going to the battlefield, not only was he not afraid, but when he came back, he clamored to practice martial arts.

Zhao Zhiang liked this little daughter very much, so he let her make trouble.

"Seventh brother." Zhao Yiyu muttered, but in the end he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so he just stared at the carriage without speaking, and Shen Zhan said, "Your Highness, leave!"

Lu Cheng was driving, and Min Wang was sitting on the shaft of the car, and he turned slowly. Zhao Yiyu asked strangely, "Don't they go up the mountain from here?"

"You can also walk here, just go around some mountain roads." Zhao Dong stared at the carriage for a while, then shouted: "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, let's go."

Everyone nodded, patted their horses and rushed to the top of the mountain, shouting while charging, and half of the mountain was lit by their torches.

Su Wanru leaned against the wall of the car, heard shouts from behind, and said, "Are they also going up the mountain to burn incense sticks?"

"Don't care about them." Shen Zhan patted her on the back, "The road ahead is difficult for carriages, do you want to go down for a walk?"

Climbing a mountain in the middle of winter in the middle of the night, Su Wanru had never done it in her life, so she smiled and said, "Okay."

Shen Zhan got out of the car first, helped her down, the carriage stopped on the mountainside, Lu Cheng and Min Wang followed, the four of them walked back and forth, Su Wanru took off her cloak, "I'm not cold, my clothes are cumbersome and heavy."

"I'll take it, it's time to make a fuss when it's cold." He took her hand stove and cloak, Su Wanru looked back at him, and said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, it looks a bit like my servant."

He chuckled and muttered, "It's not like I haven't done it before."

She didn't hear walking in front with her hands behind her back, and she said slowly: "However, I am also lucky to have the dignified Zhennan Hou Ye as a servant."

"It's the only one in the world, and I'm happy to have it." He leaned over and freed up a hand to hold her, "The ground is slippery, be careful."

Su Wanru hummed, and let him go up. The mountain is not high. After walking for half a stick of incense, they saw the Fahua Temple with lights on. They came up from the back, and as soon as they came up, they saw the A big bell, tall, lit with lanterns, exuding a solemn solemnity.

"There is still some time, you go to the wing to rest for a while, I will go to the abbot." After speaking, Lu Cheng knocked on the back door, and the little novice opened the door. When he saw Shen Zhan, he hurriedly recited Amitabha, "I thought the Marquis would not be here tonight." Here it comes, the princess is clamoring for incense sticks."

"Don't care about her," Shen Zhan led Su Wanru in, the little novice couldn't help but glance at Su Wanru, was taken aback for a moment, then closed his eyes and walked to the side, Shen Zhan said again: "Find a clean wing, let us rest first .”

The little novice should be, and led them through the backyard to the rows of wing rooms. During the New Year, there were very few people in the temple, and there was no kang in the wing rooms, so the little novice lit the stove and brought it over. There was less smoke, but it was still choking. Shen Zhan opened the window, poured tea for Su Wanru, and asked, "Is it cold?"

"I just sweated while climbing the mountain, but now it's a bit cold." She held onto her hot tea and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll be fine later."

Shen Zhan frowned, wrapped her in the cloak, and sat with her on the edge of the kang talking. After a while, the little novice came to knock on the door, and said through the door: "Master Hou, do you... want to go to the front yard to see?" Look, the princess is so persistent that even our abbot was alarmed."

Shen Zhan stood up with a frown, and said to Su Wanru, "You rest here, I will come when I go."

"Okay." Su Wanru didn't say that it was difficult to do so, so she stopped burning incense. It was obviously Shen Zhan's first decision, and there was no reason to let it go, "Hurry up and come back."

Shen Zhan nodded and went out.

In the front yard, the princes were not there, only Zhao Yiyu and Ma Yuxiao were talking to a master master, the little novice ran over and whispered a few words, Zhao Yiyu saw Shen Zhan, and immediately walked over to him, He said: "Marquis of Zhennan, can you give me the head pillar incense, the head pillar incense in Fahua Temple used to be mine every year."

Shen Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, his face serious and impersonal, "Princess please come early next year."

Zhao Yiyu never imagined that someone would rob her. Everyone in the capital knew that the touzhuxiang belonged to her. "Then can we discuss it, or should we go together?"

Shen Zhan glanced at her, cupped his hands in a perfunctory manner, "Shen is not sober, so he won't talk to the princess." He turned around and left.

Zhao Yiyu is not very old, but she is not short among women. During the New Year, she was wearing a bright red double-breasted jacket, and a pair of red breeches wrapped around her slender legs. .

Her appearance is also very delicate, different from Su Wanru's delicate and pretty, she has long eyebrows, high nose, big and bright black eyes, full of vitality.

As Princess Shang's son-in-law, although she can't enter the court as an official, there are still many princes in Beijing who don't need to support the court to follow her, obviously willing to join the royal family for a beauty.

"Shen Zhan!" Zhao Yiyu stopped Shen Zhan, "I see that you don't smell of alcohol at all. Why are you sober, you obviously don't want to tell me about it."

Whether she is a fairy or a sister, Shen Zhan will not buy it, he does not speak, but only glances at Ma Yuxiao.

"Princess." Ma Yuxiao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhao Yiyu back, "Forget it...forget it, it's the same when we go to Tongfu Temple. I've made an appointment for you there." Dragging Zhao Yiyu away.

"Shut up." Zhao Yiyu slapped her backhand, "What are you, why should I listen to you."

Annoyance flashed across Ma Yuxiao's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. He frowned and said, "Can't you see that the Marquis of Zhennan brought his female relatives here today, and with his temperament, he wouldn't want to burn some incense sticks?" .It’s not that he doesn’t let it go, it’s that his female relatives don’t let it go.”

"Female family?" Zhao Yiyu was taken aback, "My father hasn't given him a marriage yet, where did he get the female family?"

Ma Yuxiao only felt that Zhao Yiyu was innocent, and said helplessly: "Which man doesn't have many confidante outside, not to mention the status and charm of Zhennan Hou. Princess, let's forget about this year, just now a few highnesses also said, let's sit down Sit down, listen to Master Abbot say a few scriptures before going back."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yiyu turned her head and found that Shen Zhan had already left. She punched the wall angrily and said angrily, "I brought a woman to the temple without a marriage. what woman."

As he said that, he rushed towards the backyard like a gust of wind, Ma Yuxiao's expression changed immediately, and he turned around and ran to find Zhao Jun and the others.

Zhao Yiyu didn't know which wing Shen Zhan was in, so she looked one by one to see which one had the lights on. As soon as she found it, Zhao Jun and Zhao Xu rushed over, grabbed her, and said angrily : "Why are you crazy, come back with us."

"I don't mean anything else, just curious about who he brought here." Zhao Yiyu pointed to the yard, "It's inside."

Several people also glanced at the yard, Zhao Jun pulled her away, "Go back, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to my father and mother soon."

"Fifth Brother." Zhao Yiyu looked back curiously, "What are you pulling me for, and I won't fight him."

Zhao Jun frowned, Zhao Xu sneered and said, "Can you beat him?"

"So what if I can't beat him, I'm not afraid of him." Zhao Yiyu snorted, "What can he do to me."

Zhao Jun glanced at her, and led her group down the mountain like the wind.

"It's time." Su Wanru looked at the time, "Shall we go ahead?"

Shen Zhan nodded, wrapped her tightly and left the door, Lu Cheng and Min Wang followed, and the group went to the Daxiong Palace, the master abbot personally greeted them at the door, handed incense over and Su Wanru took it, the abbot glanced at Su Wanru ...

It turned out that Zhennan Hou insisted on burning the first stick of incense because of this woman.

It's strange to look at the face and not look like a lady from a rich family.

This thought flashed through my mind, the abbot put it down, and read the scriptures with him. Su Wanru folded her hands and knelt on the futon, thinking to herself, "Father, queen, you have spirits in the sky, you must bless both of you." Brother Ping An, bless me to rescue him smoothly, we brothers and sisters can do something, even if we can't take over the world, we must not make that thief Zhao Zhiang feel better!"

"Your hatred, we will definitely avenge it!"

After she finished thinking, she turned her head and saw Shen Zhan standing not far away talking to the abbot. His profile was deep, and when he was not smiling, he looked unusually serious... She sighed and closed her eyes again, "The queen mother , you don't have to worry, I won't ruin the big thing because of the love of my children, I just can't help myself now, it's just... hard to control myself. "

"I know the priorities of things, and I won't do anything stupid to ruin your living wisdom."

She read, opened her eyes and Shen Zhan had already walked over, and said softly: "Let's go to the backyard to ring the bell."

"Okay." She got up, saluted the abbot, and the abbot nodded slightly and led the two of them to the backyard. When they left the Daxiong Palace, the abbot looked back at Su Wanru, and asked with a smile, "The heroine is this year?"

Su Wanru paused, and replied, "The new year turns sixteen."

"It's a good time." The abbot smiled, "The benefactor can come here often when you are free. There is a lotus pond in the backyard. You can take a walk and have a look. If the poor monk is free, the benefactor can also come to find the poor monk to play chess and drink tea. How about it?" .”

Su Wanru and Shen Zhan looked at each other, she smiled and said, "Master, do you think I have roots of wisdom?" It was the first time for her to come back, and the abbot's attitude was a bit too enthusiastic.

"Young lady is intelligent, so she naturally has the root of wisdom." The abbot read a sentence of Amitabha, "Young lady, remember to come here often."

Su Wanru stroked her forehead, nodded, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be free these days, but as long as I am free, I will definitely come to listen to Master's lecture."

"Amitabha, sincerity is the most important thing." The abbot said, and went up to the Drum Tower. Shen Zhan signaled Su Wanru to ring the bell.

Su Wanru nodded, and after a beep, the two looked at each other through the huge clock and smiled.

Many years later, if Su Wanru thinks back on Shen Zhan's youthful face, the first thing she thinks of is at this moment, he is wearing a sapphire blue straight gown, standing opposite, watching her with a soft smile, and his deep and somewhat cold face. His facial features formed a stark contrast.

It's beautiful and unforgettable.

The abbot looked at the two of them, sighed inexplicably, and said with a smile: "It will snow later when the wind blows up, the two benefactors will live in the temple tonight, or go back to the city."

"Go back." Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan, he nodded and said, "Go!"

Min Wang drove the car to the main gate, Su Wanru was a little sleepy, so she leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to rest, Shen Zhan came over to hug her, and asked, "What wish did you make?"

"It won't work if you say it." She rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Can you go back to the city now, and will the soldiers guarding the city open the door for you?"

Shen Zhan frowned, and said, "Don't dare."

Su Wanru nodded her head, gave him a thumbs up, and said: "Yes, Master Hou is going out, who dares not follow."

"You." Shen Zhan kissed her, pinched her face, and said, "You are the only one in this world who doesn't give me face now!"

She patted his hand away, raised her head and said: "Why should I give you face, I haven't seen you give me face."

"Grandpa... I've done enough to save face." He scratched her and held her in his arms, "Push the little thing on the nose and face."

Su Wanru laughed, thinking of Princess Zhilan today, she asked: "Is the son of Han still coming to the capital in the new year? Did the grandson of the emperor not come back for the new year?"

"Emperor's grandson hasn't come back, he's probably going to be in the middle of the year." Shen Zhan said again: "As for Han Ziyang, he is keeping his filial piety, at least until after the filial piety period is over."

Su Wanru rolled her eyes and asked, "Princess Zhiyang is not young, is she?"

"I don't know." Shen Zhan didn't even pay attention to how many princesses there are in the harem, let alone their ages, "Min Wang, how old is Princess Zhiyang?"

Min Wang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "She is four years younger than Prince Ning, and three years older than Princess Zhilan, so she should be eighteen this year."

"That's not too young, is the Holy One willing to let her wait?" Su Wanru tilted her head thinking, Shen Zhan glanced at her, paused, and said: "Her concubine is Sun Jieyu from the harem, not the queen's own. The Holy One also seems to like Princess Zhilan more, and doesn't care much about her."

That is, Princess Zhilan has to wait if she doesn't want to.

Su Wanru's heart fluttered and she didn't speak. Shen Zhan asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about something in the palace? Did the princess make you uncomfortable tonight?" as if wanting to vent her anger.

"What's wrong with you? She is a princess, so it's okay to be privileged and superior." Su Wanru thought of something else, and said casually, "It's nothing, I'll just ask casually, just curious."

The two chatted, the car stopped at the gate of the city for a moment and entered the city smoothly, Su Wanru said: "I will go back to the embroidery workshop, and I will get up early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt and get the lucky money."

"See money." Shen Zhan knocked on her head and said, "Isn't what I gave you enough? What's the point of thinking about other people's money?"

She stared and said: "It can be the same, this is for good luck. Send me back."

"I'll see you off tomorrow morning." He hugged her and kissed her, "It's cold in the room now, I don't worry, and Er Gouzi is still with me."

Su Wanru didn't take it seriously, "Just let it stay with you overnight, let it come back by itself tomorrow morning, it's very smart, it can find it by itself."

"Things without conscience." Shen Zhan snorted, and said, "I'll stew it when I go back tonight."

She chuckled, pinched his face and said, "Remember to leave me a piece of meat."

Shen Zhan also laughed, he didn't force her after all, he jumped over the wall into the embroidery workshop with her in his arms, and waited for a while before leaving.

As soon as she left, Su Wanru carefully opened the door between the passages and went in. Duan Zhen was rubbing her hands and walking back and forth, she hurried forward and said: "Wait a long time, I just came back from outside the city, how about it, things went smoothly .”

"Let's do it tonight, everything has been properly arranged." Duan Zhen told her about the process, and she listened and nodded, "That's good, things are out of our control. Your own safety is the most important thing, don’t worry about other things, and look for opportunities later.”

"That girl is very smart, she must do a good job." After Duan Zhen finished speaking, Su Wanru suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice, "You tell Mei Ziqing to go back to the medical clinic, and hang up a night-time lamp at the entrance of the medical clinic. it works."

Duan Zhen was startled when he heard the sound, nodded his head and said: "Understood, this subordinate will go and call Dr. Mei." He jumped over the fence and left.

Su Wanru lingered in the alley for a while, feeling very excited. If what happened tonight came to fruition, then they would be one step closer to their goal... It was just such a small step, and they had put in a lot of effort.

At this moment, Qin'en Bo Mansion is still very lively, the banquet just finished, the women laughed and dispersed and went back to the courtyard, Wu Zhongjun was half drunk, and went back to the room with the newly snatched beauty Chunlan in his arms.

It was purely a coincidence that Chunlan met him. He and Zhu Xun met outside a brush and ink shop. His eyes lit up when he saw it, and he immediately sent someone to follow him. It took a lot of effort to get him.

Sure enough, as he had expected, Chunlan was not only beautiful, but she was also ecstatic in bed. There were not enough women in this yard worth her alone.

"Go back to the room and drink." Wu Zhongjun embraced the beauty, his heart was shaking and he couldn't wait. Chunlan smiled and helped him back to the room, poured the wine and handed him the wine. , drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and rushed forward.

Chunlan smiled and pushed him onto the bed. Wu Zhongjun was about to speak when he yawned and fell asleep with his head tilted.

Chunlan fumbled for a dagger from under the bed, followed the technique Duan Zhen taught him, found a spot under the ribs, stabbed it down, the force was neither light nor heavy, serious injury but not life-threatening.

When the knife went down, Wu Zhongjun woke up in vain, stared at Chunlan with wide eyes, covered the edge of the knife and said angrily: "Bitch!"

"Uncle Guo." Chunlan looked terrified, "I...I have no other choice. If I don't stab this knife, my whole family will die." As she spoke, she kowtowed three times and opened the door. I didn't go back and went out.

Wu Zhongjun was awake, but he had no strength in his body. He lay down on the bed and shouted: "Come here."

After shouting a few times before someone came in, seeing the situation in the room, Wu Zhongjun was terrified, and said angrily: "Idiot, hurry up and catch that bitch before calling the doctor."

"Yes, yes!" The visitor must have ran out, yelled, the yard was immediately brightly lit, and the Qin'enbo residence was overwhelmed, while sending people to invite the doctor, at the same time the whole house was looking for Chunlan.

Someone shouted: "Uncle ordered, don't invite the imperial physician, but invite the doctor."

"Today is Chinese New Year, how can I get a doctor." The manager panicked, gave out badges and sent seven or eight people out to find a doctor. Several people took pictures of the medical clinics on the street, but none of the medical clinics were open. There were people there, until I went to the West Street, I saw a lantern hanging in front of a medical clinic, knocked on the door, and a young man in clothes opened the door, the servant who invited someone did not explain, and shouted: "Are you a doctor?"

Mei Yu paused, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the princess was right, the uncle's mansion sent someone to invite the doctor, he nodded hurriedly.

The servant immediately said: "Take the medicine box and get dressed, come with me."

"Okay." Mei Yu went back, put on her clothes, and carried the medicine box that she had prepared earlier, and followed the servant on horseback to Qin'enbo's mansion. Wu Zhongjun's injuries were life-threatening, but a lot of blood flowed out. The women in the room were crying and crying very lively.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here." Mei Yu was dragged through groups of gorgeous women and entered the room.The room was filled with the smell of blood, Wu Zhongjun was lying on the bed with a pale face, and when he saw him, he asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"Yes, my surname is Mei. Uncle Guo, don't move. First, let's check the injury." Mei Yu stepped forward, and skillfully cut off the clothes. The wound was sprayed with traumatic medicine to stop the bleeding, and the bleeding was not as good. Earlier fast.

"How is it, how is the injury, it hurts me to death." Wu Zhongjun was so angry that he was dizzy, but he also vaguely knew that this injury should be fatal, because he didn't feel anything other than pain.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Mei Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the injury is serious, but there is no serious injury, Uncle Guo, please bear with it and take out the knife."

Wu Zhongjun's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth and endured, "Take it! As long as I don't die today, I must kill that little bitch." There is also the instigator behind the little bitch, if he does not avenge his revenge, his surname will not be Wu .

"Hou Ye don't have to bear it." Mei Yu said and took out a handkerchief, "I have Ma Fei San, you won't feel much pain."

He said, smiled at Wu Zhongjun, and covered his nose with a handkerchief. After a while, Wu Zhongjun passed out. Mei Yu took the knife and bandaged it with medicine. When Wu Zhongjun woke up again, The wounds have been healed.

"You actually have Mafeisan!" Wu Zhongjun was very pleasantly surprised, and said to the steward, "This doctor is good, and I will reward you a lot."

Mei Yu didn't refuse, "I want to stay here for the time being. Uncle Guo needs to rest. I will change your medicine again at noon. I will go back and come back tomorrow."

Still very responsible, Wu Zhongjun was extremely satisfied, "Then there will be Doctor Lao, you go to the next door and wait, and come back when the time is up."

Mei Yu should be led out by the servant.

"Have you found anyone?" As soon as Mei Yu left, Wu Zhongjun's face changed, and the steward of the mansion replied: "I haven't found anyone, even in the streets outside, but there is no news."

With a sullen face, Wu Zhongjun punched the bed board and shouted: "What about her house, have you been there, and arrested all her family members."

"Go, there is no one in her family, no one at all."

Wu Zhongjun pursed his lips, his face was gloomy, "It seems that I have followed someone else's way!" He said again: "In this room, give me a careful search, I don't believe it, she can do everything clean. Clean, not a single trace left."

Looking back now, he thought about it, from meeting Chunlan to Chunlan entering the mansion, everything took a lot of effort, but every effort was just right. Easy to get, and lose interest.

Sucking up the appetite.

The steward led people to search Chunlan's room and searched all her belongings after entering the mansion, but nothing was found, only a half-worn handkerchief with a horse embroidered on it!

"Bring me to have a look." Wu Zhongjun took the handkerchief and turned it over and over again. In fact, if he wanted to talk about enemies in Beijing, he must have had them, but if he wanted to talk about life and death, he thought he really didn't have them, after all. With his status, no one would dare to do anything to him even if he hated him extremely.

"Horse...a fine horse..." Wu Zhongjun's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of Zhao Jun, "It must be him, no one else would want to kill me except him."

The steward couldn't figure it out, "Uncle Guo, why did the Fifth Prince do this."

"He hates me. Back then, when his brother crossed the canal and returned to Beijing to drown, he and her mother and concubine always thought I did it." Wu Zhongjun spat, and his chest hurt badly when he exerted himself. He thought I was thinking about it all the time and wanted to take it away. I didn’t ask him to settle the matter of giving me an injection in the clan’s mansion last time, but he still has the guts to send someone to kill me.”

The steward felt that what Wu Zhongjun said was reasonable, but felt that something was wrong, so he could only nod along, "...how about sending someone to investigate."

"There is nothing to investigate." Wu Zhongjun said: "In the capital, there is no one else but him."

He didn't think about how the matter between him and Zhao Jun had risen to the point of death.

The sky is getting brighter, the disturbance in Qin'en Bo's house last night is not considered a big deal, he invited the doctor, others just think that some woman in his house was hurt by him, and ask the doctor to go and have a look, after all, with Wu Zhongjun's style, If something happens, everyone in the world will know about it.

Early in the morning, several princes resting in the palace paid New Year greetings to Zhao Zhiang and Empress Wu.

The queen is the same age as Zhao Zhiang, and her life is not good. There are deep lines in the corners of her eyes, but she is in good spirits. She is wearing a bright red wide-sleeved palace dress and sits high. Her twelve sons and two daughters kowtow in turn. pay a New Year call.

Zhao Jun followed Zhao Xu, looked up at the superior, his mother and concubine were not there, only Zhao Zhiang and the empress were above him.

Zhao Xu said auspicious words, received the New Year's reward and retreated, Zhao Jun stepped forward to salute and kowtow, just kneeling down, for some reason, the dragon ball on Zhao Zhiang's hat fell off and rolled straight to the ground. At Zhao Jun's feet, he stretched out his hand and picked it up.

Zhao Zhiang's face darkened, and the atmosphere in Fengwu Palace was immediately suppressed.

How could it be such a coincidence that when Zhao Jun came up to kowtow, the dragon ball on the hat fell off. Is this God's will, telling the world that this hat and the throne belong to Zhao Jun?

"I still have something to do!" Zhao Zhiang stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and said angrily, "That's all for today, let's go."

Saying that, he drove away without looking back.

Zhao Jun was holding the pearl, his face was pale, he walked a few steps on his knees, and shouted: "Father..." Zhao Zhiang had already walked out, so he had no choice but to follow after Eunuch Du.

Eunuch Du waved his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please don't come here. You can explain after the Holy Majesty's anger subsides."

"This bead..." Zhao Jun held the bead as if holding a hot potato. He didn't dare to throw it away, and he didn't dare to take it. How could Eunuch Du dare to take it? He waved his hands and said, "Your Highness, figure out a way for yourself." .”

With that said, he followed Zhao Zhiang away.

Zhao Jun turned his head and knelt down in front of the queen with a plop, shouting: "Mother, my son is really wronged." He just kowtowed and never touched his father's hat. The bead fell by itself, so what does it have to do with him? .

"It must be those idiots from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are useless." The queen said angrily, "They're all lost, not a single one will be left behind!"

Eunuch Pei answered yes outside, and took people to do business.

"Get up." The queen waved her hand, "You all dispersed, and a foreigner will come in later, so don't make a noise, lest things get scandalous."

All the princes should be, and retreated silently.

"You too, what did you pick up when the bead fell off?" The queen gave Zhao Jun a blank look, "You have been honest since you were a child, but if you are smart and clever, if you stop for a while, someone will pick it up, but you are quick. I can't find myself comfortable."

Zhao Jun wanted to cry but had no tears, "I beg my mother to explain to my father and me, this matter, my son is really wronged."

"Give me the beads, you go to your mother and concubine and wait first, so that she won't worry about you after hearing about it." The queen took the beads, and Zhao Jun went out with gratitude. As soon as he left, the queen leaned back on the chair, Looking at the beads in his hand, he sneered, "Play with me, and don't weigh your own weight."

An errand of the patriarchal order can make your tail stick to the sky, and that's all it takes!
As she spoke, she got up, straightened her robe, and said: "Go to Qianqing Palace, I have to persuade the Holy One."

Feng drove to Qianqing Palace, Zhao Zhiang was listening to Eunuch Du with a serious face, she waited for a moment before Xuan, pushed the door and went in, Zhao Zhiang angrily said when he saw her: "This is the son you taught, stupid me!" I want to slap him to death!"

"It's all the concubine's fault." The queen stepped forward to admit her mistake, and said helplessly: "That kid Jun'er has a real personality since he was a child, and he looks like his mother in this way."

Zhao Zhiang was taken aback for a moment, then he remembered that Zhao Jun didn't come out of the queen's stomach.

"It's all stupid things." Zhao Zhiang suddenly thought of the last time he was scolded by the writing on the wall, his own son passed by without stopping and left without stopping, allowing him to be scolded as an old man.

Today is again, when others are fine, just Zhao Jun kowtows and the dragon ball on his hat falls off.

He doesn't think Zhao Jun has the ability to usurp his position, but Zhao Jun definitely has the guts to harm his brother.

"You bastard!" Zhao Zhiang felt like a thorn in his heart, just thinking about it made him feel pain, the queen sneered in her heart, but said on the face: "Jun'er is also very scared, begging me to explain to you , don't be angry, you don't know his temper yet."

"If I want to know his nature, I threw him into a cesspit and drowned when he was born." The more Zhao Zhiang spoke, the more angry he became. He went to supervise the work of the Imperial Tomb, and Zhiting is still in charge of the ancestor's tomb in Zhongdu, so don't let Jun'er go far, just stay in the Imperial Tomb for half a year, and grind his temper along the way."

Zhao Zhiang was planning to expel Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun was not sure what he was thinking right now, and he couldn't let him out easily, so it would be most suitable for him to be placed in the imperial mausoleum. Far, let him do something behind his back.

"What you said makes sense." Zhao Zhiang nodded his head, which was considered to be a response to the matter.

The queen didn't say any more, as soon as Zhao Jun left the patriarchal order, Zhao Zhiang would not want other sons to go up, so it was a matter of course for Wu Zhongjun to take the patriarchal order.

Although it is not in line with the previous rules, the rules are all set by people. This is the beginning of the dynasty, and the rules will start from now on.

In the West Fifth Institute, all the princes gathered together in twos and threes to talk and drink tea. Zhao Yan was leaning on the chair by the window, holding a book of stories in his hand and reading it raptly. Read the script?"

"I just like these." Zhao Yan coughed, "My husband used to say that I missed my studies, so I was thinking, when I grow up, I will buy a lot of vernacular books every day and read them all."

Zhao Biao laughed, and the other brothers also laughed, Zhao Dong said: "I always thought that Zhong Yuan read only the old master's books, but we were deceived by his appearance."

Everyone laughed and made fun of Zhao Yan, but he was not annoyed, he smiled at everyone, and continued to read the book gracefully.

But his eyes fell on the book, page by page, but he was thinking about Zhao Jun, the bead couldn't just fall off at will, it's just someone tampered with it, he thought for a while Throwing away the book and saying to everyone: "I'm going to clean the room." After saying that, he walked out slowly.

"His injury looks serious." Zhao Dong looked at Zhao Yan's back and talked to Zhao Biao, "What did the imperial doctor say, Prince, do you know?"

Zhao Biao nodded, and said: "When he first entered the palace, the emperor invited the imperial physician to see him. The chest pain is the sequelae of injuries in the early years. It won't get better in a while, but it's not a big problem if you take care of it carefully."

Zhao Dong just oh, glanced at Zhao Biao and didn't speak.

"Go and see if Uncle Guo is here." Zhao Yan washed his hands in the clean room, Zha Rongsheng supported him, and immediately said after hearing his order: "I just went to see, Uncle Guo is here." Yes, but her complexion is not very good, and she is not as pushy as before, but sitting in the corner, like..."

"It should be injured." Zhao Yan said lightly, and said: "Just know, other things have nothing to do with us."

Zha Rongsheng should be, and said again: "However, your second uncle is also here, waiting to be summoned." Zhao Yan's mother and concubine were separated in the early years, and they lived with his elder brothers and younger brothers. Thinking that their mother and son had died for more than ten years, his two uncles had always treated him as their own son.

"The second uncle is here?" Zhao Yan's eyes lit up. The way he disguised Su Wanru was learned from his second uncle Xiao Hanqing. He is wise and funny, and he was greatly influenced by him when he was young.

"Yes!" Seeing that Zhao Yan was happy, Zha Rongsheng also became happy, "I should go to Prince Ning's Mansion to find you after this place is gone."

Zhao Yan nodded, and looked out of the palace expectantly.

After he entered the palace to recognize his relatives and received the title, his second uncle left. Counting, he hadn't seen his uncle for nearly a year.

"Fifth brother," the two were talking, when they saw Zhao Jun approaching, he went forward to salute, Zhao Jun smiled at him and said, "The prince is inside?"

Zhao Yan nodded.

Zhao Jun went in with his hands behind his back, and came out with Zhao Biao after a while, standing in the corner and talking in a low voice.

Although Zhao Jun looked calm, his complexion was not good-looking.

"The matter of the fifth prince is too small." Zha Rongsheng said in a low voice: "Someone must have tampered with it secretly." As soon as he spoke, his face suddenly changed, and he connected back and forth, and murmured: "This... ..."

Zhao Yan waved his hand, but did not speak.

Zha Rongsheng sighed, is this coming? Just because Zhao Jun temporarily nodded his head among several brothers, is there someone who can't tolerate him... He looked at Zhao Yan, and he admired him even more. Among the several princes, the most eye-catching should be Zhao Yan, who is the only king.

But this year, although Zhao Yan was not far or close to everyone, no one showed much hostility towards him.

He couldn't help sighing that it was really not easy to get the fief and leave Beijing safely.

Zhao Yan didn't stay any longer and went back to the room.

Outside the palace, Su Wanru and Aunt Huo are offering a reward together. They said it was a reward, but in fact there are only two servants in the embroidery workshop, but all the embroidery ladies have one. Each of them has a hundred coins, wrapped in red envelopes, and spread out , The appearance of everyone looting, it was really lively.

The same goes for the children, who took the money and clamored to buy snacks, Su Wanru said with a smile: "Save it first, and then go buy it after the shop on Fifteenth Street opens!"

The children are not in a hurry. They eat a lot during the New Year, so they all sit in the warm room with snacks and play.

"Little ancestor." Du Zhou said in a low voice: "You were all right last night, did you burn incense?"

Su Wanru nodded, and said again: "When you came back, did you go to see Mei Ziqing?"

"Not yet, he has stayed in Qin'en Bo's residence as you ordered, but Wu Zhongjun went to the palace early in the morning, and Ziqing may not come back until the afternoon." Du Zhou said after a pause, "Chunlan last night When I left the country's uncle's mansion, I hid it in the rice shop, disguised myself early this morning and sent him away, and Wu Zhongjun couldn't find him."

Su Wanru nodded, "The next step is to see what Wu Zhongjun and the Empress do." She may be able to do something about the outside world, but she can only resign herself to the things inside the palace.

If Wu Zhongjun is smart, this morning is an excellent time to let Zhao Jun add trouble to Zhao Zhiang in the new year, and together with the matter of writing and scolding Zhao Zhiang earlier, not to mention killing Zhao Jun, throw him to the imperial mausoleum for three or five years months, no problem.

Du Zhou firmly believed in Su Wanru, his own master, no one knew her abilities better than him.

The new year was very peaceful. In the first month of the lunar year, they worked together to finish forty round fans. They waited for Sun Guanren to pick them up. After half a day, everyone started embroidering embroidery for the Fifth Prince's Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion.

Just as Su Wanru led Er Gouzi back from a few laps in the backyard, Du Zhou came with Mei Yu. Her eyes lit up and she greeted her, and asked, "Why are you here, but what news do you have?"

"As the princess expected, Wu Zhongjun got an errand." Mei Yu said in a low voice: "I heard that something happened to Zhao Jun on the first day of the New Year's greetings, which caught the eye of the Holy Majesty. , Zhao Jun’s patriarchal decree was removed early in the court, and Wu Zhongjun was asked to take care of the patriarchal mansion.”

"Sure enough!" Su Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, she had heard from Shen Zhan about the affairs in the palace, "Can you still go to the Enbo Mansion to kiss, have you gained Wu Zhongjun's trust?"

Mei Yu nodded, "He trusts me very much now, and he sees me for every ailment at home." This also gave him a good start in the Xinglin circle in Beijing.

"Then you go more." Su Wanru said: "You don't need to do other things, just do your job well. Thank you for your hard work."

Mei Yu nodded and said, "I feel at ease if I can do my best. You are welcome, princess."

Su Wanru smiled, nodded and said: "Sister Zhou also said that I will invite you to eat Yuanxiao today. You came just in time, and I will have dinner here tonight."

Mei Yu blushed and nodded.

"Su Jin." While talking, Zhou Xian ran over from the front yard, Su Wanru laughed, and blinked at Meiyu, "Sister Zhou is here."

Mei Yu coughed, her brows furrowed almost inaudibly, and then she turned her head to look at Zhou Xian.

"Su Jin." Zhou Xian hurriedly nodded to Mei Yu, pulled Su Wanru and said, "Someone came from the Enbo's mansion, saying that there is a young lady in their mansion who is going to get married and needs to order a few sets of embroidery. Someone write a list and check it."

"Dear Enbo Mansion?" Su Wanru frowned slightly, "Are you going to let me go?"

Su Jin nodded, and said nervously: "You...you can make your face dark, hurry up. You know that Uncle Guo is a man, if he takes a fancy to you, you will be in trouble. "

"You bastard!" Du Zhou jumped, trembling angrily.
