Zhao Qinglin bit her lips, looked at Mrs. Zhao, her voice was weak but firm, "Grandmother, Qinglin wants to be consistent and doesn't want to marry someone else."
Since she was a child, she was taught to obey women's virtues, and she was raised as a future princess from birth. In her bones, she had already identified her husband and asked her to marry someone else. How could Zhao Qinglin accept it
The prince is handsome and handsome. Zhao Qinglin has always admired her. It is her belief for more than ten years. She would rather wait for another fifteen years. She believes that this kind of loyalty will surely occupy a place in the prince's heart.
As long as she can be by the prince's side, Zhao Qinglin has nothing she can't tolerate.
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, she supported Zhao Qinglin, and with Queen Zhao's support, Zhao Qinglin's future would be limitless, and her daughter would naturally be the most honorable.
"Qinglin, if His Highness knows that you have been wronged, he will definitely..."
Before the words finished, Mrs. Zhao's expression changed in vain, and she slapped Mrs. Zhao with her backhand, the slap sound was very crisp.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhao yelled sharply. Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, and was slapped rashly. She covered her face aggrievedly, and was startled by Mrs. Zhao's sinister expression.
Since Mrs. Zhao married into the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao has punished her daughter-in-law very few times. Only a dozen years ago, Mrs. Zhao made a big mistake and almost killed a lowly son-in-law.
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that time, if Zhao Zihan hadn't tried her best to stop her, she would have almost divorced Mrs. Zhao.
In those few years, Mrs. Zhao served Mrs. Zhao every day. She was so careful that she didn't even dare to breathe. Mrs. Zhao never looked at her directly. Later, Mrs. Zhao gave birth to two children one after another. After a long time, Mrs. Zhao finally Treat her better.
Today's attitude, and Mrs. Zhao's anger that day are beyond imagination.
The last time it was Mrs. Zhao's fault, but this time, Mrs. Zhao couldn't understand what she did wrong, so she said aggrievedly, "Mother, what did my daughter-in-law do wrong? It was a marriage that was agreed between the two families at the beginning, but was interrupted by Concubine Yun. It's fine for a kick, but now Qinglin is remarried, what is this, the empress saw Qinglin in person."
Mrs. Zhao glared at Mrs. Zhao angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb, Zihan, you should understand the situation today, don't be fooled by the wealth in front of you, lest you regret it for the rest of your life, Qinglin is mine My granddaughter, can I still harm her!"
Zhao Zihan moved his lips. In fact, he didn't want to understand why Mrs. Zhao's attitude changed so much when she entered the palace.
And the attitudes of Emperor Xiyue and the prince were even more unpredictable, so Zhao Zihan was silent for a while.
Mrs. Zhao saw clearly the hesitation in Zhao Zihan's eyes, and was a little disappointed.
"grandmother!"
Zhao Qinglin took two steps forward while supporting the servant girl's hand, "Grandmother, Qinglin can't marry the crown prince's cousin, what is the reason, please tell grandma."
Zhao Qinglin fell to her knees at the feet of Mrs. Zhao with a plop, and looked at Mrs. Zhao charmingly. She didn't understand why there was such a situation. Even if she wanted to marry the Crown Princess, who knew that there were countless concubines in the Eastern Palace, and she was not the only one missing. Why just prevent her from entering the East Palace
Zhao Qinglin would not be reconciled if she didn't figure out the reason.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Qinglin with pity, "Qinglin, grandma is doing it for your own good. In the future, you will know that grandma has good intentions. You are in full bloom, and you are the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. Why don't you worry about it?" Can't find a good marriage, since she is the daughter of the Zhao family, she should have the backbone of the Zhao family!"
Zhao Qinglin shook her head with a firm attitude, "Grandmother, Qinglin has to wait, even if she waits for a lifetime, Qinglin will still wait for the crown prince's cousin, and Qinglin swears to the death that she will not marry anyone else."
Mrs. Zhao saw that her expression was firm, her eyes moved slightly, and she let out a long sigh, "Forget it, since you have made a choice, there may be changes in the future, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your fate."
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Song Zhan would recover and return soon, so that there would be no need to break up a couple of lovers, and the Zhao family would be guaranteed.
If Zhao Zun came to the throne in the future, the Zhao family would be like having their head tied around their waist, and it might be destroyed at any time, which is really dangerous.
Zhao Qinglin was overjoyed when she heard the words, "Thank you, grandma, for your success."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and helped Zhao Qinglin stand up, then she turned her eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhao, "I have something to say first, you are not allowed to enter the palace to look for your empress in the future, so I don't need to mention unnecessary words. People, do it yourself!"
Mrs. Zhao trembled when she heard the words, she saw the warning in Mrs. Zhao's eyes clearly, she quickly lowered her head, "Yes, my daughter-in-law must remember her mother's words."
Mrs. Zhao just gave up, got up and left the yard.
As soon as the person left, Mrs. Zhao covered her face and immediately looked at Zhao Zihan with grievances. Zhao Zihan was full of worries, so he didn't care about Mrs. Zhao's petty emotions, so he only asked a few words, then turned and left.
Only the mother and daughter were left behind. Mrs. Zhao pulled Zhao Qinglin, "Qinglin, believe in mother, you will have great blessings waiting for you in the future."
Zhao Qinglin smiled wryly. Ever since Concubine Yuncai entered the East Palace, she had never slept peacefully. The four beauties were favored. She tossed and turned every day and night, and kept telling herself that the prince should have three wives and four concubines to show his dignity. .
At least she still has something to look forward to, there must be a place for her in the prince's cousin's heart, after all the prince has never favored concubine Yun, maybe he is waiting for her.
But when she heard that the prince was going to marry the princess and at the same time blocked her way out, Zhao Qinglin suddenly collapsed.
"Mother, my daughter doesn't want glory and wealth, as long as she can stay by her cousin's side, she is satisfied."
Zhao Qinglin's watery apricot eyes flashed firmness, she pursed her lips tightly, wondering what she was thinking.
"Qinglin, mother believes that you can do it. As for your grandmother, don't worry about it. There is still mother here. You can just strengthen your beliefs. Sheng Jing knows that you and His Highness are childhood sweethearts. Sooner or later, you will impress His Highness. "
Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, "Your grandmother just didn't want to embarrass your mother, and it's not a day or two for her to be biased. She won't object when things are done."
Zhao Qinglin nodded when she heard the words, she just believed it.
Zhao Zihan made a special trip to Mrs. Zhao's place. He could see that Mrs. Zhao must know something.
It's a pity that he didn't even go in. He only said that Mrs. Zhao was unwell and had already rested.
Zhao Zihan was discouraged and had to leave.
Under the corridor, Zhao Zunyi was lost in thought on the chair, and Zhao Qi told everything he had heard.
"Master, Miss Zhao is really infatuated. I would rather waste fifteen years than remarry. Otherwise, according to Miss Zhao's status, I will definitely be able to find a suitable marriage."
Zhao Zunwen raised his lips and sneered, "Everyone in Shengjing doesn't know that she was raised according to the standards of the future princess. Looking around, whoever dares to let her in, has gained a good reputation and sacrificed himself. Maybe he will go to find the queen mother." If you cry, you will be able to enter the East Palace."
Hearing this, Zhao Qi glanced at Zhao Zun. Why did he feel that Zhao Zun was very dissatisfied with Miss Zhao? Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "There is one more thing..."
Zhao Zun's eyes flickered, surprise and helplessness flashed through, and finally turned into thick sarcasm.
"Forget it, I can't control that much anymore, let the people below prepare quickly, and don't let any mistakes in the yard."
Zhao Qi nodded, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now!"
A few days later, the entire Shengjing was busy welcoming Princess Dongming Yihe, the future princess of Xiyue, with great momentum, the biggest one in recent years.
Emperor Xiyue went to court under great pressure every day, and when he returned to the harem, he had to listen to the blame of the Queen Mother Song and the silent complaints of Queen Zhao.
After a long time, these two people did not refute. After all, people are coming soon, and it is useless to object. Naturally, the country's major affairs should be the main priority.
On the day when Princess Yihe entered Beijing, Zhao Zun went to pick her up in person in full dress, so high-spirited that people couldn't help but look sideways.
Concubine Yun was also out of confinement and stayed with the Empress Dowager Song every day. Seeing Zhao Zun doing everything by herself, she couldn't help feeling sour.
"Obviously there are still two days left to enter Beijing. Is it too early for my cousin to pick me up at this time?"
The Empress Dowager Song rubbed her forehead, "Yun Le, she is Princess Dongming, with a noble status, and she is also the future princess. If the prince picks her up in person, it is also a matter of etiquette. It is all for outsiders to see, so why should you care?"
From the Empress Dowager Song's point of view, what can a princess who is married far away be capable of? Why don't they hold her in their hands
Concubine Yun side lowered her head obediently, "Grandmother said that compared to Miss Zhao, Yun Le is already considered lucky, and I don't know what kind of temperament this princess is, whether she is easy to get along with."
"Young girl of the sky, what kind of good temper can you have, who can't rub the sand in her eyes, just think about your mother."
Empress Dowager Song took a small sip of tea, and there was a look in her eyes that she was bound to win.
"Without the one from the Zhao family, you just need to keep silent and wait and see. You don't need to do anything yourself. The two may not get along well, but sooner or later."
Concubine Yun's eyes lit up when she heard the words. Her mother, Princess Chonghua, was domineering. The son-in-law never dared to take concubines. The two concubines in the princess's mansion were all personal maids by Princess Chonghua's side. The concubine and the concubine looked at themselves, not even daring to breathe.
They were all properly governed by Princess Chonghua, and she dared not make mistakes.
It's also because the son-in-law has a good temper, allowing Princess Chonghua to mess around, and the other princesses, which one is not a mess, the whole family is restless, and everyone hates it and stays away.
Before coming here, Concubine Yun had inquired about it. This princess Dongming was very favored and spoiled, so she must have a bad temper.
"Yun Le must remember her grandmother's words and never let her down."
Empress Dowager Song suddenly thought of something, "I heard that Miss Zhao gave up and married another, and she will stay in the East Palace for fifteen years?"
Concubine Yun Zhe nodded, and the Empress Dowager Song sneered, "Some people have big ideas and are fascinated by the overwhelming wealth, and the Zhao family still imagines that there will be one family, two empresses and two emperors, it's just a dream!"
The Zhao family has one empress and one emperor, which is enough to show off. Cooking oil with a strong fire may not be a good thing, it depends on whether there is such a blessing.
"Grandmother, there is something unclear about Yun Le. Why did the crown prince's cousin not allow Miss Zhao to enter the palace? Is it really Dong Ming's request?"
Concubine Yun has been unable to figure out this question. Zhao Qinglin and the crown prince are childhood sweethearts and have a relationship with the queen, so they should enter the palace. Why is the crown prince so abnormal
The Empress Dowager Song frowned, "Perhaps the crown prince does not want his relatives to be too powerful. Once Zhao Qinglin enters the palace, the Zhao family will be in the limelight. After all, the crown prince is a descendant of the Song family. You have to keep weighing the pros and cons. That's all, you don't have to Just mix it up and do your part."
Concubine Yun Ze nodded half-understood, and accompanied Empress Dowager Song even more obediently, changing the topic to a relaxed and happy one, coaxing Empress Dowager Song to be happy.
On this end, Zhao Zun took people out of the city to welcome the bride, Dong Ming gave him enough posture, ten miles of red makeup envied others, each piece was unique and exquisite, guarded by elite guards, the aura was like a rainbow, which made people dare not underestimate it.
But in reality, Zhao Zun hugged Concubine Xiao tightly in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, since you have entered the city, and Dong Ming and father-in-law are backing you, you don't have to care about other people's faces, just do what you like, I must be on your side."
Miss Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Anyone?"
Zhao Zun understood Xiao Yu's meaning, "Naturally, it is anyone, even if you take out the money, as long as you don't feel wronged, break the sky, and I will stand for you, no one else is important except you, what should be done I've already done it, and I don't care about being bound by any family relationship."
Zhao Zun simply understood what he said, and Xiao Concubine nodded, probably understanding what Zhao Zun meant, it was to make her prepare in advance.
"If anything is bad, just push it on me. You don't have to bear it yourself. You don't have to hold back when it's time to show off. The maids around you are not allowed to leave half a step."
Zhao Zun thought for a while, and gave a few more instructions.
