Miss Fan ran all the way back to Fan's house, covering both sides of her face with her hands to prevent passers-by from seeing the tears on her face.
When she entered the courtyard, she ignored the surprised and worried inquiries of the maids, and went straight into the room. With trembling hands, she picked up the bronze mirror.
In the bronze mirror, her youthful beauty has long since disappeared. Miss Fan has not slept well for more than a month because of the time spent at her husband's house and the worry of being betrayed by the wife of the main house. The two big dark bags under the eyes, together with the fine lines at the corners of the eyes, could not be covered even by the unclear bronze mirror.
But Zhao Shuqing, whom I saw just now, is still like a weak crown, with a tall body and a handsome appearance, and the years have not left traces on him.
No wonder, he called her aunt.
If in the past, she didn't think she was smart enough to withdraw the engagement, but married into the Zhao family smoothly, then now, she is Mrs. Shang Shu, the wife of such a handsome man.
But where did it come from? In the past, she is just a concubine who lost her husband.
-Snapped!
The bronze mirror fell to the ground with a muffled cracking sound. Miss Fan knelt on the ground weakly and burst into tears.
I don't know whether to regret the former self who loved vanity, or whether I should regret seducing| seducing the dead husband in order to enter the palace.
****
The news of Miss Fan's return did not make waves in Beijing, even Zhao Shuqing, who had met her once, didn't know that the aunt who was suspected of touching porcelain was his former fiancée.
After she was quietly arranged by Mrs. Fan to marry a scholar who failed the exam repeatedly, there was no news of her in Beijing.
The court soon fell into more busyness, and even the people in Beijing were extremely happy all day long.
Although most of it is because the department store has put out a banner: [Your Majesty's wedding, all products are 20% off], but no matter what, the atmosphere in Beijing is good.
The wedding between His Majesty and Miss Zhao's family will be held as scheduled.
The engagement made when the woman was ten years old was indeed as grand as most people imagined.
On that day, Zhao Shujiu was put on a red hijab, and her mother stood aside, telling her not to be afraid, with a weeping voice.
Zhao Shujiu thought, she is not afraid, although she and His Majesty are very different in age, they have always gotten along well, they have the same interests, they are both lovers of flowers, and they have been together for so many years, how can they be afraid.
She wore her wedding dress, sat in a sedan chair, and was carried all the way to the palace.
Sitting in the room, the hijab was lifted little by little, Zhao Shujiu raised his eyes slightly, and the handsome face of the man in front of him also smiled after seeing her movements.
"Jiu'er, in the future, I will be your husband."
***
After marrying his sister, Zhao Shuqing felt very lost for a while, and he didn't know if he missed his sister, or he was a little melancholy that in the future the incoherent emperor would not come to their house to play around with Jiu'er.
He was on vacation this day. He originally brought the book and wanted to sit on the swing and read the book that he hadn't had time to pick up for more than a month, but when he picked it up, his mind was full of disturbances. , I can't see it at all.
I don't know if Jiu'er gets along well with the emperor in the palace.
He sighed, finally put down the book in his hand, and went to water his flowers.
While watering, the head was suddenly patted.
Zhao Shuqing frowned and turned around, facing the handsome emperor who was full of smiles.
"Shuqing, I and Jiu'er just got married and plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River for a tour, and the court will be handed over to you and my father-in-law."
***
His Majesty went to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection and handed over the court affairs to himself. This should be the most proud thing for Prime Minister Zhao, who has become a grandfather, to show off.
If it wasn't for His Majesty's trust, would he be able to get such an honor
What's more, now that His Majesty is married, there is only Jiu'er in the palace. Although he, as a courtier, has the obligation to persuade His Majesty to open up the harem and have more children, the first Jiu'er is his own daughter. The big one, secondly, is that His Majesty has become more and more experienced in the past six years. If any courtier dares to persuade him, he can really do things that leave the throne behind.
Although everyone does not believe that His Majesty can really give up the position of the Ninth Five Lord, if it is spread, wouldn't it be that they are forcing His Majesty to abdicate
Under such a situation, the court is now basically what His Majesty says.
On weekdays, Prime Minister Zhao still had to worry about whether this would cause some bad consequences, but for their Majesty, he didn't have to worry at all. will interfere with China.
In Prime Minister Zhao's mind, the Mingjun was either diligent and self-denying, or a loyal and rebellious minister, but now, he actually thinks that His Majesty's appearance is very good.
At least, Liu Guo is getting richer and stronger day by day.
After showing off with some old friends, Prime Minister Zhao happily returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with his hands behind his back. His eldest son just returned to Beijing some time ago, and he also brought back his three-year-old grandson. Now, Prime Minister Zhao But I love this grandson very much, and I am not strict with my sons at all.
His being so happy every day made his family happy, and the only one who was not happy was Zhao Shuqing.
The old man was not satisfied with having a grandson. While teasing his grandson, he turned his attention to Zhao Shuqing, an unmarried "older youth". Mrs. Zhao chose a noble daughter for him, and he got engaged, married and had children in one step.
It is precisely because Zhao Shuqing has always insisted on not accepting blind marriages that he has been reduced from a "baby son" to a "disobedient son" in the eyes of his own father.
In this regard, both sides are very distressed.
***
The reason why Zhao Shuqing didn't want to get married was very simple, because he always felt that he was a modern person, different from these ancient people.
What's more, he is only in his twenties. In modern times, he is not married at the age of thirty, so there is no need to worry when he is in his twenties.
The most important thing is that Zhao Shuqing has always had some conflicts in his heart. Most of the noble girls in Beijing are married at the age of 16, 17 or 18, and there are very few unmarried over 20. His parents will not allow him to marry a married woman. Dear woman.
And Zhao Shuqing lived in his early thirties in modern times, and more than twenty years in ancient times. Putting it all together, in his mind, he was already a man in his fifties.
Although on the outside he respects the old and loves the young, deep down, Zhao Shuqing feels that he is the oldest one. Has his own father become a grandfather in his fifties
Zhao Shuqing would feel bad in his heart if he was old enough to be someone else's grandfather and married a teenage girl, even if others didn't know.
He didn't want to get married. Prime Minister Zhao was anxious at first, but later Mrs. Zhao pulled her husband to analyze, and finally came to the conclusion that "Miss Fan's family cast a shadow on his son". The two of them were angry and aggrieved. But he didn't dare to show it to his son, so he could only coax him carefully, and never mentioned anything about getting married again.
It was like this until Zhao Shuqing was thirty years old in ancient times, when he suddenly announced that he would resign from office and retire to the mountains and forests.
The point is, he who is about to resign is still not married.
Zhao Shuqing, who was 60 years old in two lifetimes combined, had a sudden enlightenment.
He is unmarried.
***
The news that Zhao Shuqing, who had enriched Liu Guo's treasury, was resigning was too shocking.
Shocked, I went to play outside the customs this year, no, I went to inspect those emperors who were defeated by the Huns and rushed back.
The two took turns persuading Zhao Shuqing, who was determined to be a 60-year-old hermit, but they couldn't persuade him. In the end, they had to let him go.
The mountains and forests Zhao Shuqing chose were neither far nor close to the capital city. Anyway, it was just the right distance. The first thing he did when he arrived at his destination was to plant mosquito repellent trees nearby.
After that, I started to build a modern equipment house that I had been thinking about for several years.
Zhao Shuqing's Shangshu for more than ten years was not for nothing. He prepared a small box just for the blueprints. In addition, although he resigned from office, he was not short of money. The craftsmen worked hard and spent a whole lot of money. It took half a year to complete the house of Zhao Shuqing's dream.
He was very satisfied, and then lived in.
From then on, he was a sixty-year-old hermit.
The emperor who came to visit with the queen and the little prince curiously lay on the so-called bar counter and asked Zhao Shuqing, who was mixing drinks, "You don't want to be a prince anymore?"
Zhao Shuqing raised his head silently, and calmly looked at Wei Mingyan, "Your Majesty, since the establishment of our dynasty, there has not been a king with a different surname."
The emperor who hugged the little prince laughed loudly, "When did you find out, I'm planning to lie to you for a while longer."
Heh, do you think that he has been a minister for so many years for nothing
When the emperor took the queen with one hand and the prince with the other and left, Zhao Shuqing reacted belatedly.
He seems to have never told that inconsequential emperor that he wants to be a prince, right
Could it be that he said he didn't remember it
Just as he was thinking about it, the brewed wine was ready. The former Minister, who was still young and handsome, raised his glass and took a sip. The taste was mellow and delicious.
After finishing the glass, Zhao Shuqing went to mix other wines with great interest.
He thought, in such a fresh and natural environment completely free of smog and radiation, he might still live to be two hundred years old or something.
***
In modern times, a person who does not get married will always be bombarded. Whether you are a man or a woman, not getting married is a life-and-death crime. Even if your parents forgive you, your neighbors will not forgive you.
But in ancient times, Zhao Shuqing's unmarried life was quite smooth.
It may be related to the fact that although he hid himself in a ravine, he still has some new inventions that benefit the country and the people from time to time.
It seems that everyone has tacitly agreed that Zhao Shuqing's non-marriage is for the sake of the country and the country. No one laughs at it, but it is full of admiration and praise.
Mrs. Zhao was still thinking about her son's lack of an inheritance, her elder brother and younger brother were willing to adopt their son to Zhao Shuqing, but Zhao Shuqing refused.
He is old and can't stand the children's troubles.
Anyway, according to the current contribution, there is no such thing as worrying about no one supporting the elderly in modern society. As a former minister who has made great progress to the country, even if he became a hermit, there are still no less than thirty protectors hidden around him. It is no exaggeration He said that even if he ate oranges, the oranges had been washed at least ten times before they were served by servants.
Unlike the nerd uncle who squatted in the mountains and nourished a mountain of flowers, Wei Mingyan is an emperor who likes to run around very much, and it just so happens that the queen he married also likes the mountains and rivers outside.
Wei Mingyan succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, and lived to be over ninety years old. Less than half of the ninety years was spent in the imperial city, and the remaining half was spent wandering around with his queen.
It stands to reason that their actions can be regarded as a waste of money, but this majesty is different from those coquettish junks outside. When he leaves the capital, he uses his own private treasury for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never uses the treasury. Money, it's all like this, what else can others say.
The whole world knows that the one who sits on the dragon chair has the most money, the glass square, the department store, the carrier pigeon station, it is still a small head that makes a lot of money, the most important thing is that Wei Mingyan sent out after the sea ban was lifted. merchant ship.
After the sea ban was abolished, merchants or officials who knew the lucrative business could not wait to send out many merchant ships, but they only thought about the goods from the foreign countries, while Wei Mingyan focused on the ships.
Over the past few years, the largest ship in the Liu Kingdom belonged to the emperor.
Although his money is not as much as in the national treasury, it is not much worse. Anyway, it is enough for him to happily play with the queen for so many years, and he can leave a prosperous and rich treasury to the prince.
Of course, a lot of the inside story came to later generations, and people discovered Zhao Shuqing's diary until it was gradually revealed.
For example, the second richest person in the Liu Kingdom back then was Zhao Shuqing who resigned from office at the age of thirty and returned to the mountains and became a hermit all his life.
Who made these ideas come from him to the emperor.

Wei Qin was born as a prince.
When Zhao Shujiu found out that she was pregnant, they happened to be on their way back to Beijing. Because of this child, the Empress and Empress stayed in Zhong'an, Kyoto for several years. It wasn't until the Wei Qin grew up that their scope of activities began to be around the capital.
She has been raised well since she was a child, and she has never had any troubles after entering the palace, and there is an imperial doctor who takes care of her all the time. The pregnancy was not very difficult, but she gave birth smoothly and was named the prince child.
Wei Mingyan named him Wei Qin, and said with a smile that his father loves to play and make trouble rather than diligent government. He hoped that this child would be more diligent in the future and be a diligent king.
Weiqin's childhood memories are from the Lantern Festival, when people with lanterns and smiling faces are everywhere, he sits on the neck of his father, waving his fat hands to reach the lanterns on other people's stalls, and his mother buys them. After he got down and returned to the palace, he had to ask the little eunuch to lift the lantern to the side of the bed before he would close his eyes even when he was sleeping.
He is indeed very hardworking. Unlike his father, who seems to be lazy by nature, Wei Qin likes to read books, and also likes to deal with government affairs. When he was young, Wei Mingyan would hold him and read booklets together, teaching him what to do .
Wei Qin was a little shocked by his father's proficiency in correcting notebooks. He raised his slightly round face and said in a childish voice, "Father, why don't you usually do this?"
"Father didn't do it, naturally it was because someone did it for Father."
They are all in their thirties, but they looked at the still young emperor and rubbed the little prince's head with a smile, "If the father had shown that he would do it early, how could they be willing to do it for the father all the time?"
Wei Qin, who was still ignorant of the little prince, didn't understand much, but he still learned it obediently. Unlike his father, who only wanted to play around, he wanted to manage the government well.
When Wei Qin was eight years old, he was brought into the imperial court as the crown prince to replace his father in handling political affairs.
He wasn't afraid to deal with these things, but he was a little nervous. Fortunately, his mother comforted him for a long time, and his father took him by the hand and led him to the court. Wei Qin seemed to be emboldened and not so afraid.
Afterwards, his father asked him if he wanted to go out with them, or stay and supervise the country as the prince. Wei Qin chose to supervise the country, and he wanted to do better.
The emperor father and the queen mother left, but Wei Qin was not too afraid, but handled the political affairs skillfully. He didn't push himself too hard. He imitated the emperor father and took a rest when he felt tired. People dare to force him to do something.
In the year when he reached the crown, Wei Qin was no longer the prince.
The father directly passed the throne to him, became the Supreme Emperor himself, and continued to travel around the mountains and rivers with the mother.
Wei Qin is of course happy to be the emperor, but at the same time there is a little melancholy in his heart. Obviously, when he was reading history books, the emperors of all dynasties refused to abdicate voluntarily. Even if there is a prince, he will never delegate power so easily .
But after thinking about it, the father is so lazy, I'm afraid he has already planned to give him the throne when he is an adult.
Thinking about it this way, the excitement of becoming the lord of the world seems to have faded.
He should try his best to be a good emperor.
***
The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager died in the same year.
Before they left, they specially called Zhao Shuqing over.
He is really an old man now, but because he has been insisting on keeping in good health, he is in a good mood every day. Even at such an old age, he is still a beautiful grandfather.
The beautiful grandfather Zhao Shuqing held his sister's hand and shed tears for the first time in so many years.
Zhao Shujiu was still comforting him, saying that at such an old age, it was also considered joy and sorrow.
Zhao Shuqing didn't listen, and still shed tears silently like a child.
While crying, one hand was forced into Zhao Shuqing's and Zhao Shujiu's.
Wei Mingyan chuckled, "I feel like I'm about to die, so please shed some tears for me."
Zhao Shuqing silently held back her tears, and suddenly said, "I remembered."
"At the beginning, you lied to me to spend a lot of money."
As he got older, his memory got better and better.
The former His Majesty and the current Supreme Emperor are still very thick-skinned, "I am most proud of defrauding the most beautiful flower."
Zhao Shuqing immediately began to search in his brain. The potted flower he raised back then seemed to be deceived by the person in front of him.
As a result, as soon as this thought occurred to him, the Supreme Emperor threw away his hand and held hands with Zhao Shujiu alone, smiling proudly at him, "Ji'er, the most beautiful flower, has been with me all my life after all."
Zhao Shuqing: ... No matter how many years have passed, the essence of human beings will not change.
That night, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who had a short reign but lived a long life, closed their eyes.

n years later, modern
[Who is most like a time traveler in ancient times in August 18th]
Floor 1: I knew what you were going to say before you clicked on this post, so I will tell you, Zhao Shuqing!
2nd floor: Can you leave some suspense upstairs, I haven't guessed yet.
Floor 3: Zhao Shuqing! Zhao Shuqing!
4th floor: Don't talk nonsense on the 2nd floor, there is no suspense here, elementary school students already know that it is Zhao Shuqing.
5th Floor: Well, Zhao Shuqing, with the power of one person, persuaded the emperor to cancel the sea ban, build big ships, buy glass formulas, and even open department stores. Who else could he be if he had come all the way
Floor 6: To be honest, I think Fan Yuancai is quite similar. Look at the history books. Before he was a teenager, he was obviously a dude. In such a short period of time in the opposite family's house, he suddenly changed his temper. He was able to endure hardships and suffer hardships. Great work
7th Floor: Only one vote for Fan Yuan, Zhao Shuqing is the smooth sailing type, Fan Yuan is the counterattack hero, no matter how you look at it, it is him
Floor 8: I said, why are you talking about the unmarried one? Why don’t you talk about Lang Su? Didn’t he also hang out all the way
Floor 9: I see that all the upstairs except the eighth floor are singles, just staring at people who have never been married for a lifetime.
10th Floor: Why don't you say that Wei Mingyan has only been married to the Empress for the rest of his life, and the Crown Prince abdicated as soon as he became an adult. Throughout the ages, he is the only emperor who has done this, right
11th floor: Hahahahaha why did the 10th floor get involved with Emperor Tianwu? Anyone could be a time traveler, but he is the least likely. Make a big fight, eh, speaking of it, I think Tianshun Emperor Weiqin is a bit like that, didn't he just send a boat to beat down the Fanbang at that time? This man who opened up the territory and expanded the territory is a proper male protagonist!
…
Floor 123: I can't do it, I won't talk to you, I'm in class, I slipped away, the teacher in this class is very strict!
The classmate put down his phone and entered the classroom without noticing that the teacher standing on the podium was also looking at the phone in his hand.
He has a handsome appearance, wearing a pair of glasses, looks very elegant, and has a bit of coldness. Now seeing the remarks on the post that speculate that Emperor Tianwu is a time traveler, he chuckled lightly and put down his phone.
That cheeky ancient emperor is a time traveler
Today's kids really dare to guess.

[Ding! The vacation world has left, please choose: 1, vacation, 2, continue the mission]
[Continue mission]
As soon as Wei Mingyan opened his eyes, he faced the math problems written on the big blackboard.
A bald math teacher in a striped shirt was tapping a ruler at the blackboard.
"Your class of students! It's the worst class I've ever led!"
"What are you looking at, Wei Mingyan, I'm talking about you! I transferred you to this position to let you look at me with big eyes, why don't you hurry up and copy the questions!"
Wei Mingyan shrugged, and obediently lowered his head to copy the questions.
Bad student
He's good at it.
