Zhao's
"What should I do? After Qinglin got the news, she locked herself in the room and couldn't come out. Why is Your Highness so heartless?"
Mrs. Zhao was not dissatisfied with Zhao Zun once or twice. The last time I went to visit Queen Zhao with Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Zun missed such a good opportunity.
Now that she has let go of saying that she will not marry Zhao Qinglin, and marry the Crown Princess, isn't this a stab in the heart of the Zhao family
"Everyone in Shengjing knows that Qinglin and His Royal Highness are a pair of childhood sweethearts who were forcibly separated. Why is Qinglin so miserable? Does Your Highness not care about family affection at all? Isn't it okay for Qinglin not to be the concubine? Why? If you marry Princess Dongming, you won't be able to accept Qinglin anymore, isn't there another Concubine Yun in the palace?"
Mrs. Zhao looked angry, "No, I can't just watch the Zhao family being stabbed in the back. Those who don't know will think that there is something wrong with Qinglin. Qinglin is innocent. Why does His Highness treat the Zhao family like this!"
Mrs. Zhao was also shocked by Zhao Zun's thoughts. A thought flashed through her mind, but she shook her head soon.
It can't be that child, the prince must have given up Qinglin for the benefit of Xiyue.
Mrs. Zhao sat on the side in silence, still unable to figure out Zhao Zun, and she was skeptical in her heart.
"In recent years, the Zhao family has been in front of the East Palace, and others have questioned His Highness. The Zhao family is protecting His Highness. Now that the wings are hardened, the Zhao family is no longer in their eyes..."
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she talked too much.
"That's enough!" Zhao Zihan interrupted Mrs. Zhao's words in a deep voice, "Stop talking, watch Qinglin carefully, and don't tell her to do anything stupid. The royal family's affairs don't allow you to speculate at will!"
Seeing that Zhao Zihan was annoyed, Mrs. Zhao moved her lips but did not dare to say more.
"Mother, Qinglin is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. She is both talented and well-educated. She may not necessarily enter the Eastern Palace as a side concubine."
What Zhao Zihan never said was that the crown prince didn't want Zhao Qinglin to enter the East Palace at all, rather than being forced by the situation.
On the way back, Zhao Zihan carefully thought about what happened today. When Zhao Zun proposed not to let Zhao Qinglin enter the East Palace, Emperor Xiyue was obviously very angry. Later, because of Zhao Zun's threat, Emperor Xiyue compromised, which showed that Emperor Xiyue did not Unaware.
After the court, Zhao Zihan also asked Zhao Zun, but Zhao Zun's tone was very firm, no discussion was allowed at all, he just refused to let Zhao Qinglin enter the East Palace.
Zhao Zihan boldly guessed that perhaps Dong Ming hadn't interfered with Concubine Zhao Zun's affairs at all, it was just Zhao Zun's own thoughts.
"Mother, you know what Qinglin is thinking. She has been learning the way of the harem since elementary school, and she is devoted to His Highness. Now if she is not married to His Highness, it will kill her."
Mrs. Zhao stomped her feet anxiously, and looked at Mrs. Zhao anxiously, "Mother, let's go find your mother, maybe your mother will have a solution."
Mrs. Zhao was silent.
"It's useless to look for it. The empress and the emperor had already had a big quarrel in Fengqi Palace because of this matter. If you say it in front of everyone in the court, do you want the emperor to go back on what you said?" Zhao Zihan said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Zhao was startled, "What does the emperor mean?"
"The emperor asked Qinglin to decide on her own, either to enter the palace after fifteen years, or to choose another marriage. Since His Royal Highness recovered from illness, her temper has changed a lot. She confronted the emperor in public and insisted on building another residence. Agreed, let His Highness mess around!"
Zhao Zihan did not hide his blame and disappointment in his tone, secretly thinking that the prince is becoming more and more outrageous.
Mrs. Zhao's expression suddenly became weird when she heard the words. She thought about all kinds of causes and consequences. She went to see that the prince was still ill, but in a blink of an eye she was alive and well. This temperament has also changed a lot.
"Don't speculate on this matter in advance. I will go to the palace. Before I come back, none of you can make a decision. I will talk about big things when I come back!"
Mrs. Zhao's face was solemn, and the answer in her heart was ready to come out, but she still had to ask clearly.
Mrs. Zhao misunderstood what Mrs. Zhao meant, and thought that Mrs. Zhao was going to intercede with Queen Zhao, and immediately said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law will go with you."
"No need, just watch Qinglin at home."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, and immediately sent people to prepare the carriage, and hurried into the palace.
Mrs. Zhao saw that Empress Zhao's face was pale and her expression was not good. She was leaning on the couch with one hand resting on her forehead in deep thought, and sighed from time to time.
"Ma'am, the old lady is here."
Empress Zhao raised her eyes and immediately stood up, "Mother..."
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter's appearance, she knew that she was distressed and wronged, so she glanced at Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu understood, and immediately found an excuse to leave with a room full of maids and women.
As soon as the person left, Empress Zhao couldn't help the tears she was holding back, and she lay helplessly in Mrs. Zhao's arms and wept like a child.
No need to ask, Mrs. Zhao has already confirmed the answer.
"How is Zhan'er now? This kid is indeed of royal blood. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. He has changed so much that he almost blinded me."
Mrs. Zhao patted Queen Zhao on the back, and murmured in a low voice, "You have been married for many years. I, as a mother, can see how the emperor treats you these years, and I was born in the emperor's family. If you can have today, you should be content, don't be petty, the emperor is not easy."
Empress Zhao raised her head when she heard the words, "Mother, my daughter just wants to leave an heir for Zhan'er. What's wrong with Zhan'er? I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid I won't have any heirs in this life. It's my daughter who owes Zhan'er, but... . . ”
Empress Zhao was a little choked up, and Mrs. Zhao guessed right when she heard the words. Now this is Zhao Zun who has been missing for many years.
No wonder Zhao Zun looked at him strangely that day.
"Sujun, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You shouldn't force Yan'er. Besides, Qinglin will not be happy if she marries Yan'er. It will make Zhan'er, Yan'er and Qinglin suffer."
When Mrs. Zhao learned about Zhao Zun, she was the first to object to Zhao Qinglin marrying Zhao Zun. What was even more worrying was that she didn't know how much Zhao Zun remembered those things back then.
Queen Zhao paused, her eyes became loose, and she looked at Mrs. Zhao in confusion.
"Sujun, don't embarrass yourself, and don't embarrass the emperor either. Continuing to dig into the horns will only embarrass the emperor even more."
Mrs. Zhao has only one daughter in her life, so she loves Empress Zhao very much, and she almost grew up holding her in the palm of her hand. Empress Zhao has never been wronged since she was a child, and she grew up smoothly.
The one who married was the current emperor, and the two had a very good relationship, and they gave birth to the prince smoothly, and secured the throne. Looking around in the whole of Xiyue, there is no one happier than Queen Zhao.
Empress Zhao moved her lips, lowered her head and remained silent.
Mrs. Zhao understands her daughter's disposition, and persuades her a few more words, "Sujun, have you ever thought that the one who will succeed in the future will be Yan'er, should you support Qinglin's child or the Crown Princess' crown prince?"
"Of course it's Qinglin's child." Empress Zhao blurted out subconsciously.
"Sujun, Yan'er and Qinglin, how do you choose?" Mrs. Zhao asked again, "If Yan'er insists on supporting his son-in-law to succeed, as a mother, do you want to do the right thing with Yan'er?"
Empress Zhao was stunned, she was speechless for a while, she didn't know how to answer this question, she just said, "It may not be possible that this problem will arise, Qinglin was raised by her daughter, her temperament and appearance are outstanding, and her appearance is outstanding. Will definitely like her."
"But if Qinglin falls in love with Yan'er, when Zhan'er comes back, are you going to kill each other with the two brothers?"
Mrs. Zhao's tone became cold, "It's still a violation of ethics and morals for Qinglin to serve as a maid and serve two husbands?"
This time, Empress Zhao was completely at a loss for words, she didn't think too much, she just wanted to keep her two sons from worrying, and didn't think about anything else.
Just being persuaded by others, Empress Zhao felt uncomfortable, she committed that stubbornness, and got into a dead end.
"Sujun, you have let mother down so much." Mrs. Zhao stood up slowly, and glanced at Queen Zhao, "With me here, Qinglin would not marry into the East Palace. If you live in the palace, you will have to suffer some grievances, Yan'er is more chic than Zhan'er, and knows how to choose, Zhan'er has shouldered too many burdens since he was a child, and no one has thought about it for him from the beginning to the end."
Empress Zhao's face was hot, and she was stunned for a long time, until Mrs. Zhao left, those words were still echoing in Empress Zhao's ears.
Mrs. Zhao returned to the mansion exhausted, and Mrs. Zhao rushed forward to greet her, "Mother, what do you say?"
In Mrs. Zhao's view, Emperor Xiyue had a deep affection for Empress Zhao, and Empress Zhao was the birth mother of the prince. As long as Empress Zhao was firm, the two would definitely let go.
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Zhao coldly, "Let matchmaker Li come to the door this afternoon, Qinglin is my granddaughter, and I will choose a good one for her."
Mrs. Zhao's complexion immediately collapsed when she heard this, and she became ugly. She looked at Mrs. Zhao in disbelief.
"Mother, did your empress agree?"
Mrs. Zhao said with a cold face, "Why, are you deaf or dumb when I speak, can't you hear me, get rid of those messy thoughts for me this morning, and make an appointment for Qing Lin as soon as possible!"
After being yelled at by Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale for a while, the brocade handkerchief in her hand was almost disfigured, and she bit her lip angrily, almost dying of annoyance.
"From now on, no one is allowed to mention His Highness and Qing Lin's affairs again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Mrs. Zhao walked away without looking at Mrs. Zhao's ugly expression.
"grandmother."
There was a figure standing beside the pillars in the corridor, his voice became weaker and weaker, his pale face looked haggard, and his two big eyes soaked in water looked at Mrs. Zhao charmingly.
When Mrs. Zhao saw this appearance, she felt even more distressed for Zhao Qinglin.
"Qinglin, grandma will definitely choose a good marriage. I don't ask you to earn glory for the Zhao family. As long as you are happy, your status doesn't matter."
When Madam Zhao heard this, she was immediately displeased. Zhao Qinglin had been raised as a concubine since she was a child, and it would be enough trouble to have a side concubine Yun. Now she can't even be a side concubine.
Mrs. Zhao was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and now she came to rape her daughter again, and Mrs. Zhao exploded immediately, and she didn't care about it.
"Mother, Qinglin is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. She represents the face of the Zhao family, and even the heart of the daughter-in-law. Even if you want to find a marriage, you should find someone from the right family. Otherwise, everyone will think that there is something wrong with Qinglin. Qinglin was innocent in the whole matter. At the beginning, the emperor also promised the Zhao family that whoever gave birth to the eldest son of Qinglin and Concubine Yun would be the crown princess. Not fair!"
In the eyes of Mrs. Zhao, no one is as honorable as Zhao Zun's crown prince. Even if she is a side concubine, she will be one of the four concubines in the future. Maybe she will be a noble concubine or even an imperial concubine.
So what about the Crown Princess, Dongming is so far away from Xiyue, who can support the Crown Princess, Zhao Qinglin is different, and the whole Zhao family supports her.
In the future, Zhao Qinglin will give birth to a son, and with the support of Queen Zhao, the Zhao family will be more prosperous in the future, and the future is boundless.
"The Zhao family has already produced a queen and a prince, and they are already on the cusp. Do you want Xiyue to change his surname to Zhao before you are satisfied!"
Mrs. Zhao was angry and stared at Mrs. Zhao displeased. Mrs. Zhao was startled by Mrs. Zhao's words, "Mother, that's not what my daughter-in-law meant. It's just that Qinglin and His Highness have had a deep relationship since childhood. It would be a pity not to ruin a marriage without destroying a temple..."
Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Zhao angrily, quickly withdrew her expression, and glanced at Zhao Qinglin, "Qinglin, what do you think?"
