I don’t know why, but being stared at by those innocent eyes, Zhao Chengyan panicked for the first time and defended himself: "Although my actions are outrageous, the cause and effect is that Ms. Cui herself cannot have children and is narrow-minded and intolerant of others. , that’s why this situation was created.”
Hearing his excuse, Zhao Yue did not refute, but said: "Since the Cui family is so unpopular with the Fourth Emperor's uncle, it is reasonable for you to abandon her. But there are some things that are like honey and frost." "In the eyes of the Fourth Emperor's Uncle, Mrs. Cui is narrow-minded and intolerant of others, but my nephew thinks that there is nothing wrong with the woman being loyal and noble to the man, and asking the husband and wife to play in harmony and be treated equally."
Zhao Chengyan was stunned.
Zhao Yue looked at him and said with a smile: "My nephew likes Mrs. Cui very much. She comes from a famous family and has outstanding talent and appearance. Her chess skills are very admired by my nephew. She is also knowledgeable, has good conduct, and is calm and neither arrogant nor impetuous. , and is good at managing the middle feeding, so he can be called a good housekeeper."
This praise made Zhao Chengyan embarrassed, and he endured his bad temper and said: "Erlang is really naive. You must not forget that she is older than you and has no children."
Zhao Yue still kept smiling and said calmly: "How many years older would it be better to know how to be tolerant and considerate? If you are an innocent little lady, you still have to let me coax you." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Junqi and said, "Dad , I have been busy with government affairs all day long, and after a busy day, I still have to coax the little lady, do you think you are tired or not?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
I was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Yue continued: "I don't have the time to bother, and I don't have the time to guess a woman's heart. I just want the future princess to talk to me well when something happens, and let me solve the problem for her, instead of letting her do it." Let me guess what you are thinking. Once or twice it is just fun. If you do it every time, you will die.
"Uncle Four Emperors, you have been with Mrs. Cui for several years, so you should know her temperament. She shouldn't be so ignorant, right?"
Zhao Chengyan twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
Zhao Yue said shamelessly: "Looking at Uncle Fourth Emperor's appearance, she must be very knowledgeable. Otherwise, you must have something to tell her."
Zhao Junqi couldn't help but said: "But Mr. Cui has no children."
Zhao Yue said "Oh" softly, looked at her father and said, "She just has no children with Uncle Four Emperors, and has nothing wrong with your son. It doesn't matter how many grandchildren you want to have in the future."
These words made Zhao Junqi stunned and unable to react for a moment.
Zhao Chengyan was shocked and said angrily: "What nonsense did Erlang say?!"
Zhao Yue touched his heart with every word, "The Taiyuan Hospital has treated Mrs. Cui. She is just like an ordinary girl, she can both give birth and raise children."
Zhao Chengyan didn’t believe it and blurted out: “Don’t try to trick me!”
Zhao Yue: "What am I trying to do to you? Uncle Four Emperors should understand that heirs are particularly important to the royal family." After a pause, "She just can't have children with you."
These words were so strong that they shocked Zhao Chengyan to the point where he couldn't find his way around.
Zhao Yue looked at her father again and said, "Speaking of which, Uncle Four Emperors was not born to his grandfather back then. Doesn't his grandfather treat him as his own?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
Zhao Yue said again: "Going further, my grandfather was not born to his great-grandfather, so he inherited the throne differently?" He added, "Father, please don't forget that our Zhao family clan was not a direct branch in the first place. Is it interesting to pursue it like this?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
He knew that his son could talk well, otherwise how could he have coaxed Emperor Wu to turn around and pave the way for the East Palace? He thought he couldn't speak to him, so he just kept his mouth shut.
Zhao Chengyan was still stuck in the news that Mrs. Cui could have children, and said with a twisted face: "I don't believe that Mrs. Cui can have children."
Zhao Yue looked at him silently, and couldn't help but sympathize with him. He was too obsessed with his son, so much so that he went crazy.
"Uncle Four Emperors, whether Cui can have children is very important to you, but it is not too important to me, Zhao Yue.
"I like her because I like her as a person, her aloofness and pride, her talent and beauty, and her calmness. Even if she is narrow-minded and has many shortcomings, I still like her, because that is what Cui is. A girl who is flesh and blood and complete.
"I just feel that such a girl is worthy of me to take back as my wife. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, without any quarrel or quarrel. She can tolerate me, and I can tolerate her.
"It is true that as you said, she is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others, but to me, this shows that she will be single-minded and loyal, and she will also demand the same from others, and I can accept it.
"You also said that she is infertile. Of course, it is true that you have been childless for several years, but it is also true that she and I can have children. I know this in my heart, and there is no need for you to worry about it.
"Now just because she had a marriage with you, and you rejected her, you want to stop my nephew from asking for marriage. I dare to ask, is this unreasonable?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Junqi and said: "Dad, if our Zhao family prevents Cui from remarrying like this, will we be stabbed in the back if word spreads that the royal family is bullying others and ruining the Cui family's marriage?"
Zhao Junqi wondered: "This..."
Zhao Chengyan said angrily: "She, Mrs. Cui, can marry anyone, but not the Zhao family!"
These words made Zhao Yue laugh angrily and said in a good temper: "Uncle Fourth Emperor is going to play tricks on his nephew?"
Zhao Chengyan's face was ashen and he said angrily: "Erlang, please don't go too far just because you are the prince of the prison country!"
Zhao Yue pursed her lips and smiled, arguing: "Then my nephew will give it a try and ask the official matchmaker to come to Cui's house to propose marriage. Let's see how the people in the market discuss this matter. They will say that I, Zhao Yue, have gone too far to deceive others. I am still the Four Emperors." Uncle Man is unreasonable and has his own conclusion."
These words frightened Zhao Junqi, and he quickly said: "Erlang, don't be impulsive! This matter is easy to discuss, easy to discuss!" He added, "You have to let your mother-in-law know about important matters such as marriage and your parents' orders to find a matchmaker!"
Zhao Chengyan was so angry that his eyelids jumped wildly, and he pointed at him and said: "You are really talented!"
It seemed that he had lost his face, and immediately threw away his sleeves angrily.
Zhao Yue looked at his back as he walked away, holding his hands with a helpless expression.
Zhao Junqi said "ouch" and said angrily: "My family is unlucky! My family is unlucky!"
Zhao Yue turned to look at him and said seriously: "My son has something to tell his father and wants to take a few days off. I wonder if my father will allow it?"
Zhao Junqi said anxiously: "It's the New Year, and there are so many affairs in the court that I can't even count them. Why do you ask for leave?"
Zhao Yue sat down on the chair unhappily and complained: "I, the prince of the country, have to work with me all year round?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
The father and son were in a stalemate for a long time before Zhao Junqi pointed at him and said, "You brat, are you deliberately trying to intimidate me?"
Zhao Yue snorted coldly and accused: "My son works as hard as an old scalper all day long. As a father, have you ever felt sorry for me?" He then said, "Dad, are you sorry? You spend all day eating, drinking and having fun." , write little songs, play the pipa, have you ever seen me stay up late every day, get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
Zhao Yue did not follow him in circles and said straight to the point: "Mr. Cui, I, Zhao Yue, have decided."
Zhao Junqi was anxious and hurriedly ran to him and said seriously: "Son, are you going to piss your mother off to death?"
Zhao Yue stared at him for a while and said secretly: "If father agrees to this marriage, I will agree to father's abdication and become the supreme emperor. If you want to eat, drink and have fun, write little songs, and take my mother to the south of the Yangtze River for a private visit, All my children are fulfilled!”
Zhao Junqi: "..."
Zhao Yue said coaxingly: "When I get married and have a family, if you want to put aside the complicated government affairs and be free and at ease, I agree. If you find it lonely and boring, I can also give you some grandchildren to tease you." He paused. He paused, "Didn't you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River earlier? As long as you become the Supreme Emperor and take my mother-in-law for a private visit in private and experience the beautiful mountains and rivers of my Daliang, you are all allowed to do so!"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
This condition is real... I'm a little excited.
Zhao Yue poked his arm and said, "My son likes Mrs. Cui and wants to marry her into the East Palace."
Zhao Junqi hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, she is your ex-aunt, it is inappropriate."
Zhao Yue snorted and said, "I want to ask for leave."
Zhao Junqi said seriously: "Erlang, don't be willful."
Zhao Yue said unhappily: "My son is not willful." He added, "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Since my father does not allow my son to propose to marry Mr. Cui, he will be depriving others of his love. Then my father should not lose his mind by playing with things all day long. He should take good care of himself." Good governance."
"you!"
"My son wants a woman, but dad won't allow it. Then dad, don't play with those useless music. It's more important to do your business."
"You're a rebellious kid, you're threatening me on purpose!"
"My son wants to take a leave of absence."
"Guizi, are you going to make me angry to death?"
"My son wants to take a leave of absence."
"How can you be such a bastard and act like a rogue?"
"My son wants to take a leave of absence. I hope my father will allow it."
"Why are you taking a leave of absence?!"
"My son has stayed up late and worked hard every day and became ill. He needs to take a leave of absence to recuperate."
“…”
"My father gets bored playing with things every day, so it's time for us to change."
“…”
Zhao Junqi was pinched seven inches and stared at him without saying a word.
Zhao Yue folded her hands and looked at him without saying a word.
I don’t know how long it took before Zhao Junqi hated the iron and said: "Are you blinded by lard? There are so many noble girls from aristocratic families in the capital, why did you fall in love with Cui alone?"
Zhao Yue did not answer but asked: "Then why among so many musical instruments, you are the only one who likes Pipa?"
Zhao Junqi waved his hand, "You don't understand, Pipa has its own charm."
Zhao Yue said in his tone: "You don't understand either, Cui family has its own taste of Cui family."
Zhao Junqi pointed at him and said solemnly: "Son, dad is here. You are obsessed with Cui. You must have never met other girls. Once you meet a few more girls, you won't be so persistent."
Zhao Yue said calmly: "I have coveted Mrs. Cui for many years, and now I have finally waited for her to reconcile. Is there any reason to let go?"
These words frightened Zhao Junqi and he said in astonishment: "If you are shameless, you will even worry about your fourth emperor's uncle's wife."
Zhao Yueli said confidently: "I wonder what happened. Firstly, he did not rob openly, secondly, he did not demolish by force, thirdly, he did not take advantage of others' danger to sow discord, and he abided by the etiquette during the marriage of the two of them and never exceeded half a step. Four. The emperor's uncle pushed Mrs. Cui out for the sake of his wife, and I went to ask for them and the queen, why am I so shameless?"
Zhao Junqi was so angry at his righteousness that he slapped his thigh and said, "Why did I give birth to such a bastard like you!"
Zhao Yue tilted her head and looked at him, and replied rudely: "It's a good thing that a bastard like me allows dad to play with things and lose his mind."
Zhao Junqi was choked and speechless.
Zhao Yue still said the same thing, "If dad steals my woman, I will steal dad's pipa." After a moment of pause, "I just want to ask, in these years, has dad ever seen me being interested in anything?"
Zhao Junqi was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.
Zhao Yue complained: "I have been forced by Chen Ping to learn tricks to please my grandfather since I was four years old. I have been working hard for my father's future since I was four years old. In order to have something to eat every day, I did all the things I didn't like. Dad, do you think it will be easy for me?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
Zhao Yue complained: "I haven't even reached the top yet. I hang out with the old men in the political affairs hall all day long, discussing boring political and state affairs. Dad, take a look at it. In the whole capital, which aristocratic family is there?" Do you live like an old man like me?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
The more Zhao Yue talked, the more dissatisfied she became, "Don't I just want a woman? It's fine if the Fourth Emperor uncle doesn't allow it. Dad, why don't you allow it too?" He added, "Then Cui can relieve my fatigue. I just want to be busy all day." When you come back and see her in a good mood, dad is not willing to give even this little favor?"
Zhao Junqi wondered: "This..."
Zhao Yue: "What is this? Do you want to continue playing with things to lose your ambition? Do you want your son to continue working for you like an old scalper? Even if I am willing to be like an old scalper, you have to give me some benefits, right?"
"Now I want the Cui family, but you are trying to stop me, Dad. What do you mean?"
Zhao Junqi was worried when he asked him, and said embarrassedly: "What you did was indeed not honest."
Zhao Yue looked at him sideways, "Back then, my grandfather said that you were losing your ambition by playing with things, and I excused you many times to protect your shortcomings. Can we be more sincere?"
Zhao Junqi: "..."
Zhao Yue hit the nail on the head and said: "Uncle Four Emperors refused because he thought it would damage his face. She was a woman he clearly didn't want, but in the blink of an eye he married a higher-ranking man, and the man he married was younger and had a higher status than him. Gao, he feels shameless and can’t bear it, Dad, why are you teasing him?”
Zhao Junqi said dissatisfiedly: "Does it make me lose face if you cooperate with me?"
Zhao Yue: "I don't care. I want the Cui family. Just discuss it with my mother. If this doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. I just want to be as relaxed as the children of the aristocratic families in Beijing. I don't want to be a prisoner like an old scalper." After the country is over, I have to find other girls for fun when I have time, right?"
Zhao Junqi said unhappily: "Erlang, don't be willful."
Zhao Yue tilted her head and looked at him, "This is because my father is being unreasonable. He is worried about my pending marriage and is unwilling to give me a chance to meet other girls. You said that I am stuck in the political hall every day, where can I find a girl? marry?"
Zhao Junqi held it back and said, "Your mother-in-law can help you."
Zhao Yue thought about it seriously and said, "That's okay. First, help me gather eight people and send them to the East Palace."
Zhao Junqi was stunned, "How can you handle eight of them at once?"
Zhao Yue: "One a day, change every day." After a pause, "Dad, don't think that I don't know what it means to lose one's ambition by playing with things. I have many more tricks to play with than you."
These words really made Zhao Junqi so angry that he wanted to hit him with a slap.
Zhao Yue immediately came forward, pointed at her face and said, "Father, you can beat me, but I'm worried about not being able to ask for leave."
Zhao Junqi said "Ouch" and said angrily: "Grandson!"
Zhao Yue: "You gave birth to it yourself too."
Zhao Junqi was afraid that he would make him angry to death, so he couldn't bear it and left.
Zhao Yue looked at his back. It seemed that there was still work to be done. He was not impatient. Dealing with his parents was much easier than dealing with political opponents.
"Go back."
Eunuch Wei waited on him to return to Yong'an Palace.
After returning, Zhao Yue deliberately put all the pictures of ladies he had painted into a wooden box and ordered people to carry them to Queen Ma's Changchun Palace.
Those portraits all look like Cui.
No, at that time, Zhao Junqi was talking to Empress Ma about this terrible incident in Changchun Palace. Suddenly, he heard the maid coming to report that a box of things had been sent from Yong'an Palace.
Queen Ma ordered people to carry it in and opened the wooden box herself.
Zhao Junqi came forward and looked through the portraits together. The appearance of each painting was similar to Cui's, and both of them were half angry to death.
At first, Queen Ma's reaction was the same as Zhao Junqi's, thinking this was ridiculous.
But she had a good impression of Cui Wenxi, and felt that Cui would not be so reckless, so she said: "Cui Changyue has an arrogant temperament, and she can't tolerate sand in her eyes. She can't even tolerate the fourth child's outer chamber, how can she tolerate the people in the East Palace?" What are the rights and wrongs? When I summon her and ask her, she might not be willing to enter the East Palace."
Zhao Junqi showed his face and said: "It would be good if she retreated after knowing the difficulty."
Queen Ma: "Your Majesty, please be patient. Erlang is very clever. How can you be his opponent? I'll wait until I ask Chang Yue. If she doesn't have any thoughts, wouldn't the problem be easily solved?"
Zhao Junqi thought about it and felt it made sense.
Who would have thought that Zhao Yue had already anticipated his mother's tricks. Before she summoned Cui Wenxi, she took a quick trip out of the palace and set a trap for Queen Ma.
