Zhao Zun pursed his lips, "Then what should I do? I am not the prince of Xiyue. If you find it an eyesore, there are so many sons under your knees. They are all your blood, and it's not my fault."
Such a bastard can speak out, what else can Emperor Xiyue say, that is, he shouldn’t have threatened Concubine Xiao at the beginning, now it’s all right, Zhao Zun is going to fight it out, knowing that Xiyue has nothing to do with him, the more he doesn’t know Converged.
"Father, my son doesn't ask for much. Fortunately, I have made it clear today. I don't need women to consolidate my position, and I don't care about outside gossip. This is all my son's private matter. As long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, my son You can turn a blind eye and close your eyes, and leave when it's done."
Zhao Zun's bottom line was naturally Xiao Concubine. Emperor Xiyue could hear the threat in this tone, and snorted, "Just protect her like this, and don't even want her biological parents and brothers?"
Zhao Zun nodded resolutely, "If you want to choose one, it's natural."
Emperor Xiyue did not expect Zhao Zun to be so outspoken and so resolute, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Didn't the father do a lot for the queen mother? I'm not a prince. I don't want to own the Sangong Sixth Courtyard. I just want a simple relationship and live an ordinary life. What you think is good may not be suitable for others."
Zhao Zun's attitude softened three points. He was not brought up according to the standards of a prince. He was used to seeing all kinds of people, and he yearned for peace even more.
Emperor Xiyue smiled slightly when he heard the words, "I was just like you, young and vigorous, with only one person in my eyes, but you know how much your mother has been wronged, and she is not so comfortable looking at you. It was I who pushed her to the forefront with one hand, Before marrying your mother, the emperor only guarded Chungui, but never gave her the status she deserved, seeing Chungui humiliating to other women, I still find it ridiculous."
Recalling that year, Emperor Xiyue only felt naive. If he did it again, maybe he would not do this again.
"Thinking about it now, the father did the right thing. He gave Chungui a worry-free life. Although the queen is noble, her life is not easy at all. It may not be a good thing for you to protect Miss Xiao like this."
Zhao Zunyang said, "No, I'm not the first emperor, let alone your father, and Xiaojiu is not Chungui and her mother. If the Zhao family is strong enough, not only for her own selfishness, the mother's queen will not work so hard. Xiaojiu is different. She has Dongming is my backer, and I won't marry so many women to cause trouble, without so many women, naturally there won't be so many disputes, and as for weighing the pros and cons, I don't need to rely on favoring women."
Xiao Concubine has a father who loves her dearly, but this father is very protective and powerful, so he has nothing to fear.
Queen Zhao is dragged by a Zhao family who only thinks about prosperity and wealth, so it's no wonder she isn't tired!
In Zhao Zun's view, all disputes are driven by interests. Without interests, there will naturally be no disputes.
Seeing that he really dared to say anything, Emperor Xiyue almost pointed at his nose and scolded himself for being incompetent. He could not even handle the relationship between women well. He cares.
"Forget it, this is the end of the matter between the Zhao family and Concubine Yun, and no further disturbances are allowed in the future."
At this moment, Emperor Xiyue understood why Zhao Zun insisted on building another mansion. Emperor Xiyue even made a plan. In the future, he didn't have to let Concubine Xiao enter the palace to pay his respects. It would be good to stay in the mansion peacefully.
Zhao Zun nodded, the two had reached a tacit understanding, as long as they didn't interfere with each other, it wasn't impossible for them to get along.
"Success, my son will leave."
Zhao Zun retreated with a smile, he could see that he was in a good mood.
Emperor Xiyue shook his head and sighed, Zhao Zun made it clear to himself that he would never take over Xiyue's mess, and everything was temporarily calm.
If that day really comes, Zhao Zun will definitely be a master that his relatives do not recognize!
"Hey!" Emperor Xiyue sighed for a long time, feeling very uncomfortable. On the one hand, he felt that Zhao Zun was absolutely suitable to be an emperor. , Emperor Xiyue saw a wave of blood and domineering.
On the other hand, he was thinking about Song Zhan. Song Zhan would never do what Zhao Zun did. Song Zhan is only suitable to be a prince who can reassure the emperor.
Before leaving, Zhao Zun still went to Fengqi Palace. When he went, Empress Zhao just had a rest, so he inquired about Empress Zhao's personal maid, and then left Fengqi Palace.
Qin Tianjian divined the time and set the wedding date at 20 days later. The time was rather rushed, and the entire six departments were already busy.
After two days in a row, there was a lot of trouble inside and outside the palace. It was a great event for Empress Zhao to conceive, so Mrs. Zhao took Mrs. Zhao to the palace to visit.
Bringing all kinds of supplements, Mrs. Zhao's expression was very happy, "Your Majesty, you must take good care of your body, and be more cautious in the first three months..."
Empress Zhao also smiled and put one hand on her lower abdomen. When she heard the good news, Empress Zhao was very excited.
"Mother, don't worry, it's not the first time your mother gave birth. Didn't you give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins before? Your mother is really lucky. Now she is pregnant again, and a double happiness comes."
Although Mrs. Zhao had a smile on her face, her tone was not very good. Mrs. Zhao didn't think too much, she just said, "Your Majesty is naturally blessed. After Fuzeen, I heard from the master in the temple before that two In Yueqian Temple, magpies often fly and sing around the branches, so there is a reason for it."
Empress Zhao couldn't help but smile deeper when she heard that, she raised her eyebrows, but she saw Mrs. Zhao sighing with a straight face.
"Sister-in-law, but what happened?"
Mrs. Zhao quickly glanced at Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and then waved her hand at Queen Zhao, "It's okay, what can I do."
The more she said that, the more Empress Zhao felt that something had happened, and she glanced at Yu Nanny, who immediately led her back.
"There are no outsiders here. We are all a family. If you have anything to say, you can speak up."
Mrs. Zhao listened, and when the words came to her lips, she looked at Mrs. Zhao again, and simply lowered her head and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"Mother, what happened? You know your daughter. If you don't ask clearly, how can you feel at ease?"
Queen Zhao's eyes fell on Mrs. Zhao, "Is it the prince..."
Mrs. Zhao sighed, and Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said, "Your Highness is indeed a little impetuous these days. Now there are many rumors spreading inside and outside the palace. Isn't it a joke to spread the word that Concubine Yun is not allowed to enter the Prince's Mansion, and only spoils Princess Yihe alone?"
Queen Zhao frowned upon hearing this.
"Mother, the outside world says that Princess Yihe's marriage has bad motives, and that she is actually a vixen reincarnated to confuse His Highness on purpose. She wants to take His Highness's soul away, and she doesn't even listen to the emperor's words..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhao interrupted in a deep voice when she saw that Mrs. Zhao's words became more and more outrageous, "You dare to speak nonsense in front of your empress."
Mrs. Zhao smiled sheepishly, "It's my daughter-in-law who is reckless, so I shouldn't be talking nonsense, but these words are not said by my daughter-in-law, but are spread by the people."
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at Mrs. Zhao angrily, and then shifted her gaze to Queen Zhao, "Mother, it's important that you take care of yourself, Your Highness will not mess around."
Empress Zhao's face was ashen, "Mother, it's this time, do you still have to hide it? The prince twisted his temper and refused to marry Qinglin, and now he ignores Concubine Yun. How can he act like this and ruin his reputation?" of?"
"Your Majesty, it's okay for His Highness to like Princess Yihe for a while. Why did you listen to the slander and forcibly destroy the relationship between you mother and son?"
Mrs. Zhao subconsciously reminded Queen Zhao that although the two looked exactly the same, they were not the same person after all. Queen Zhao was confused by that face.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhao strangely, she always felt that there was something strange, maybe she was thinking too much, after all, Queen Zhao was still pregnant.
But listening to Empress Zhao's tone, it seemed that she didn't intend to obstruct Zhao Qinglin's entry into the harem. After thinking about it, she tentatively said, "Madam, I am talking too much. We women and children don't understand the important affairs of the court. Maybe Your Highness has good intentions. It's hard, and after a long time, you will understand it. Qinglin and His Highness grew up together. As long as His Highness's future is not damaged, Qinglin is willing to wait fifteen years before she recognizes His Highness. This child is stubborn. Can't stop, let the empress laugh."
Empress Zhao felt even more guilty when she heard it, "Sister-in-law, you and I are all one family, so why bother to see each other, Qing Lin was raised by Ben Gong, and Ben Gong has long regarded Qing Lin as his daughter-in-law, it's a pity that this happened The trouble is that this palace has delayed Qinglin."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was startled, and glanced at Mrs. Zhao.
Queen Zhao did not object to Zhao Qinglin's entry into the palace, but why did Mrs. Zhao desperately obstruct it
"Your Majesty, it's because Qinglin doesn't have that luck." Mrs. Zhao said indifferently.
"Let Qinglin come to the palace in a few days. I haven't seen you in a long time. Let her come in and talk to me."
Madam Zhao nodded, "Yes."
After leaving the palace gate, Mrs. Zhao took a deep look at Mrs. Zhao, "There will be nothing in the future, don't talk nonsense!"
Mrs. Zhao looked aggrieved and confused. She really didn't understand what she had done wrong that caused Mrs. Zhao to be so unwilling. Facing Mrs. Zhao's fierce look, Mrs. Zhao could only nod in agreement.
But on this side, the empress asked people to go out to inquire about what happened outside these few days. Emperor Xiyue deliberately concealed it, and the empress was immersed in joy, but she was negligent for a while.
Nanny Li told Queen Zhao everything she found out, and Queen Zhao couldn't believe her ears.
"Xiao Mi is really so presumptuous?"
Nanny Li nodded, "Princess Yihe was really outrageous at the palace banquet that day. She contradicted the Queen Mother in public and insulted Concubine Yunce. Even the emperor didn't pay attention to it. , and now there are a lot of complaints outside the city."
Empress Zhao listened, with a tinge of anger on her face, "If this continues, the prince's reputation accumulated over the years will be ruined sooner or later, no, I can't just sit idly by."
Empress Zhao thought for a while, then stretched out her hand to touch her belly, "It will be fifteen in two days, and I will go to Lingshan Temple in person."
"Your Majesty, but you are pregnant..."
Empress Zhao waved her hand, "It's okay, I missed this month, and I have to wait for next month, it's too late."
Empress Zhao glanced at Nanny Li, "Send a letter to Princess Yihe, ask her to go to Lingshan Temple, and ask her to send her son Guanyin back before she gets married."
Nanny Li nodded, and Empress Zhao said again, "Let Qinglin enter the palace tomorrow afternoon, and ask her to accompany me."
"Yes, the old slave will do it now."
Xiao Concubine got the news and couldn't help frowning, but since the empress invited her personally, Xiao Concubine couldn't refuse, so she asked someone to answer and said she would follow along.
"Miss, servants, go get ready."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Success, go and inquire about this Lingshan Temple."
After Mrs. Zhao returned to the mansion, she went to Zhao Qinglin and expressed all the doubts in her heart, including Queen Zhao's attitude.
Zhao Qinglin was surprised, "Auntie really said that?"
"Mother can still lie to you. Your aunt has treated you as her daughter-in-law since she was a child. Mother thinks that your grandmother is obstructing it a bit strangely. But since you have recognized your mother's intention, you must take good care of it."
Mrs. Zhao told Zhao Qinglin what happened to Concubine Yun, and she even gloated a little, "It sounds good to take care of the queen mother and gain a reputation of filial piety, but in fact, it is really embarrassing that you can't even enter the prince's mansion. "
Zhao Qinglin was even more surprised, "How come the Prince's Mansion didn't even prepare a side concubine's yard?"
"It's not that master's idea. His Highness has been fascinated by that moment. It's really disappointing to obey that master." Mrs. Zhao said.
Zhao Qinglin's eyes flickered slightly as she listened, and soon a maid came in to convey Queen Zhao's will.
Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, "Look, your aunt is taking care of you."
