When Zhao Qingxi returned to the mansion, Zhao Zaifu and Mrs. Zhao were shocked and angry when they heard that Princess Anyang had intercepted him.
What was surprising was that Princess Anyang had expected Zhao Qingxi to leave and waited at the gate of the city. What was annoyed was that it seemed that Princess Anyang didn't show any sympathy, and she was bound to ask Zhao's mansion for an explanation to the end. He came with Zhao Qingxi.
With red eyes and pale face, Zhao Qingxi told Princess Anyang that she should be An Shuye's equal wife.
Zhao Zaifu almost gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "I'm going to the East Palace now."
Mrs. Zhao said bitterly, "Princess Anyang is too deceitful. Didn't An Shuye have nothing serious? How did she become an enemy?"
Zhao Qingxi said in a low voice, "Mother, the person you schemed against is An Shuli. Although An Shuye took the place of this debt, he left for An Shuye. An Shuli is the son she brought up alone. , Pampered to the extreme, how can the princess let it go"
Mrs. Zhao was speechless for a while, only regretting, seeing that Zhao Zaifu was about to go to the East Palace, she kept saying, "Master, you must ask His Royal Highness, our daughters are at the same age, how can we marry An Shuye as a common wife, regardless of Anyang?" What request does the princess have, as long as Qingxi is not compensated, the rest is up to you."
"I see, as long as I don't lose my daughter, I will agree to anything else." Zhao Zaifu took over.
Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Zaifu took a look at the sky, and there was still half an hour before the morning court, so he immediately went to the East Palace.
Yun Chi usually wakes up an hour earlier before the morning court, but since Huayan came to the East Palace this time, he changed his habit, waking up at the time of the morning court every day.
Yesterday it was expected that Zhao Zaifu would come early this morning, so he woke up half an hour early to wait for Zhao Zaifu.
Huayan followed him to wake up, seeing him dressed in a slow and orderly manner, with a handsome appearance, a jade-like face, and noble Tsinghua in his gestures, her heart beat a beat slower, and suddenly felt a feeling of reluctance.
This feeling has astringent sweetness and tight pain.
five years
If she can't find a way to break the soul curse, she will barely have five years to live.
It has been five years since the flood in the Chuanhe Valley. She couldn't help but think about how she spent these five years. After thinking about it, she realized that time flew by in a blink of an eye. Although she felt that it was not wasted, there were very few traces. .
Seeing that she seemed to be in a trance, Yun Chi's heart tightened, he stopped dressing, leaned forward slightly, held her hand on the bed, and asked gently, "What's wrong, I woke up and didn't say a word. "
Huayan stopped her thoughts, smiled at him, and said softly, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about entering the palace today, if the queen mother makes things difficult for me, should I be rude, or should I follow her and give me a bunch of books on female rings and female training?" Study the study rules."
Yun Chi knew that she wasn't thinking about this, but he didn't point it out, and laughed, "The emperor's grandmother accepted your gift, and Zhu Rongdan has miraculous effects. She has less gray hair, so I shouldn't embarrass you very much. If I embarrass you , you don’t like to hear it, just go up against it.”
Huayan blinked and looked at him with a funny face, "No way, Your Highness, you will hurt the old man's heart by protecting your wife like this."
Yun Chi smiled, "The imperial grandmother has already been hurt by me. She has always been used to being strong. You can't be used to it. Otherwise, if you are weak in front of her today, she will make more progress in the future. Why don't you start to give up an inch, so as not to give up?" No more worries."
Huayan stretched her arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will listen to you, and I will not give an inch today, lest in the future he will let you take a side concubine and concubine, and you will not be able to get away from me." The road might as well be blocked all of a sudden.”
Yun Chi chuckled, "I've been worried about this so early."
Huayan nodded seriously, "Naturally, I should have been worried earlier. People who don't have long-term concerns must have near-term worries."
Yun Chi laughed.
While the two were chatting, Steward Fu came to report that Zhao Zaifu was here.
Hua Yan told Yun Chi, "Be tough, don't be reluctant to strike."
Yun Chi nodded, "I understand. Although he is half of my master, but for the future of the world, he must step on it."
Huayan took it seriously and waved at him.
Yun Chi packed up and left Xiyuan.
Standing in front of the window, Hua Yan watched Yun Chi go out of Xiyuan with an umbrella, thinking that the rain should stop one day later. Otherwise, if you go down, not only the water in the Chuan River Valley
Suffering from a problem.
Zhao Zaifu deliberately didn't open an umbrella, and walked all the way into the East Palace, not only in disgrace, but also in obvious embarrassment.
Yun Chi met Zhao Zaifu in the living room, and seeing his distressed appearance, he was startled for a moment, his voice was usually warm and cool, "Why didn't Zaifu use an umbrella to get caught in the rain? If you get sick, how can you be better?" I can't live without you in court for a day."
Zhao Zaifu wiped the rainwater from his face, and cupped his hands, "Your Highness, the old minister has lost his manners. The old minister really couldn't care less, and came here to beg His Highness."
"Yeah..." Yun Chi looked at Zhao Zaifu with normal eyes, "Zaifu, please tell me, you are a veteran of the two dynasties and have made great contributions to the country. My palace knows it, so you can just say it."
Zhao Zaifu hurriedly said, "It happened yesterday. It was the old minister's fault to plead guilty to His Highness. Your Highness, you know that the old minister only has one daughter, Xi'er, who loves her like a jewel in his palm. I really wanted to choose a good marriage for her, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Now Princess Anyang keeps asking the old official to give her daughter to her son An Shizi as a wife, but she doesn't say that it has nothing to do with Xi'er, it's because the old official is confused, it's just that she is locked up, how can the old official be willing to ask His Highness for help."
After the words fell, Zhao Zaifu bowed to the end.
Yun Chi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhao Zaifu. In the past, when he was young, he stood in the court and was constrained by the important officials of the great families, which was very difficult. The royal father was weak and often fell ill on the couch. Zhao Zaifu and a group of courtiers almost supported the court affairs. Most of the time, it was Zhao Zaifu who kept his word. As for teaching him, although Zhao Zaifu did his best, most of it was to be his father-in-law in the future, to train his daughter to be his princess, but he never did anything that made him disgusted and angry on the surface.
Therefore, regarding Zhao Zaifu, even though Yun Chi felt that he was no longer usable, he didn't think about disarming him all at once.
He was silent for a moment, sighed, rubbed the center of his brows and said, "I am also very embarrassed about this matter. The Zaifu knows the temper of the princess. She is not a bad temper, let alone suffered such a big loss yesterday. Even if she I don't love Shizi An very much, after all, Shizi An is also her son who was born in October of her pregnancy, if the sky hadn't been there yesterday, and the charm was relieved, Shizi An might have died, Wangfei's anger is hard to dissipate."
Zhao Zaifu did not raise his head, bowed his head deeply, and begged, "I understand, I have the audacity to beg His Highness the Crown Prince to do something about it."
Yun Chi sighed again, "The Anyang Prince's Mansion doesn't lack anything, and the princess doesn't lack anything either. A few months ago, my palace and An Shuli hid the whole world about An Shuli's disappearance. I hurt my eyes from crying, and this palace was also accounted for by her, and now the princess has asked this palace to conduct a thorough investigation, so it is not easy for this palace to fool the princess."
Zhao Zaifu immediately said, "As long as Xi'er is kept, the old minister will spare no expense to beg His Majesty for the daughter of the old minister, Xi'er. How can she be a wife for An Shuye? If the old minister really agrees, she will be forced to death. Your Highness must know a little about her temperament."
Yun Chi nodded indifferently, and said flatly, "Miss Zhao has a good character, and she is very proud."
Zhao Zaifu's old face was hot and hot. His daughter had a good character, but it's a pity that he, as a father, planned her marriage by all means. He begged deeply, "I beg Your Highness, I beg Your Highness. This old minister knows that Your Highness is in trouble, but Princess Anyang is really pungent. This old minister knows his mistakes, so I can punish him any way I want, but Xi'er was innocently implicated by me. Your Highness knows that."
Yun Chi was silent for another moment, and said, "Let me think about it."
Zhao Zaifu was half relieved when he heard Yun Chi's words.
He knew that as long as Yunchi promised, he would be able to do it. With the sensitivity of the court for most of his life, he privately felt that His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely wipe out the court in the future, and he would be the first to bear the brunt of it. Therefore, he lost his sense for a while and plotted against An Shuli by any means, trying to pull the Anyang Palace together. Take a firm position, if you don't want to steal chickens, you won't lose money. Now that he was forced to beg Yunchi out of desperation, he also wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude. Although it was only four words, it also showed that His Highness the Crown Prince did not want to do anything to him completely.
Zhao Zaifu was overjoyed, and quickly bowed deeply, "Thank you, old minister, for your kindness."
Yun Chi nodded, "Whether it's Zaifu or King Anyang, they are all pillars of the court and important ministers. I don't want the two governments to become enmity because of this matter. I will do my best."
Zhao Zaifu repeatedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the old minister will reflect deeply and never do such things again."
Yun Chi sighed softly, "Miss Zhao is very good-looking, so don't worry if it's difficult for you to marry the prime minister. You should not do such a thing, it will damage the Zhao family's appearance." After finishing speaking, he said, "The princess of the palace likes it very much. Miss Zhao, ask her to help Miss Zhao choose a marriage in the future, and from her point of view, she will definitely make Miss Zhao happy."
Zhao Zaifu's face changed when he heard the words, "The old minister is confused, don't do it anymore." After finishing speaking, he walked down the steps and said, "In the future, when Xi'er gets married, there will be Princess Lao."
