Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

As soon as she followed Jin Ge to the central palace, Imperial Concubine Xi said to Liu Li, "Hurry up and tell Lord Gu that Zhao Zhao went to the Queen's place."

Xie Zhaozhao went to Queen Wei Yingzi's place and was very respectful all the way, and Jin Ge couldn't find any fault with him at all.

When they arrived at Ziweiyuan, Xie Zhaozhao paid her respects to the Empress according to etiquette. The Empress looked very haggard because of the frequent accidents involving the Crown Prince.

The Queen smiled and said, "After you married the Grand Master, you seldom came to the palace. I haven't seen you for a long time. Now I see that you look very well. I guess you are living a very comfortable life in the Marquis' Mansion."

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Gu treats me very well."

The queen asked Jin Ge to bring a brocade stool to Xie Zhaozhao and said kindly, "You are married well. If your mother knew about this, she would be happy for you."

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes turned red and she said nothing.

The queen saw that Xie Zhaozhao had remained silent, and a flash of hatred flashed across her eyes. She changed her tone and asked, "Do you still visit your parents' home often now?"

"I visited my grandmother during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"You two sisters are married to the Marquis' Mansion. Have your younger sisters ever been to the Marquis' Mansion to see you?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "They all have to learn the rules. I have seen them during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they haven't come here often."

"How old are your younger sisters now? Have you ever been married?"

Xie Zhaozhao thought, this should be the main topic for today, right?

"My sisters haven't reached the age of marriage yet, and there has been no formal engagement. I don't know if my grandmother and father have made an agreement with anyone. My grandmother loves my sisters and wants them to stay for a few more years, so they are not in a hurry to get married."

The two of them had just talked for a while when Jin Ge came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Lord is here to pick up your wife."

The Queen Mother teased, "The benches haven't even been warmed up yet and he's already coming to ask for someone. This Lord Minister really can't leave his wife for even a moment!"

Xie Zhaozhao just lowered his eyebrows and smiled, without responding.

When Xie Zhaozhao left the palace, Jin Ge looked at Xie Zhaozhao with a straight back and steady steps. She frowned and said to the queen, "I can't believe how deep the old lady is."

"You naturally can't see that her manners and etiquette are unmatched among all the noble ladies in Kyoto. Well, I don't bother to argue with a young lady. The sisters in the Xie family are all unengaged, so they will all be included in the candidate list."

The queen sighed. She had originally wanted to marry Xie Zhaozhao to the prince, but the Xie family and the Marquis family had already made an agreement that the Xie family's legitimate daughter would marry the Marquis family as a way of repaying the favor.

Jin Ge took out a list. The first name on the list was "Miss Liu Si" and the second name was "Miss Li".

Jin Ge picked up the pen and added a name at the bottom of the list: Miss Xie San.

Coming out of the palace, Gu Shaoyu looked at her, smiling, and asked, "Is it settled?"

"Ah."

The two walked one in front and the other behind, half a step apart. The palace maids looked at the tall Lord Gu in front and the stunning Xie Zhaozhao behind, and could only sigh that they were a match made in heaven.

When Hua Zisheng saw the two people coming, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for the minister and his wife!"

The two of them entered the imperial study. His Majesty had already asked Hanako Katsu to prepare a brocade stool. Looking at the two of them, he was very satisfied.

"Did the Queen talk to you?" His Majesty asked Xie Zhaozhao with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Queen talked to me for a while. She said she knew my mother and they were close friends."

"Friends?" Emperor Hui laughed and said, "She has a good relationship with your stepmother!"

This sentence surprised not only Xie Zhaozhao, but even Gu Shaoyu.

"The Queen actually has a good relationship with Xu?" Gu Shaoyu frowned and asked, "Wasn't Xu originally a concubine of the Xu family?"

"The people in the Imperial City Department noticed that she was once called in for questioning by the Queen when she attended flower parties and banquets in the palace."

Although the number of times was not large, I was called there a few times over the years.

There was no simple meeting for the royal family.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his brows and took note of it in his mind.

Xie Zhaozhao handed the box to Hua Zisheng and said, "This is the ambergris I brought to Your Majesty."

Emperor Hui was surprised: "So many?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "There are also 500 pony horses and racehorses, all purchased with your majesty's money."

Emperor Hui was pleased and said: "It seems that this Silk Road is indeed a prosperous trade route connecting the east, west, south and north."

"There are 500 racehorses and trotting horses in total, and the total cost of each horse is about 100 taels of silver. I met merchants from Jiangnan in Ye Jiancheng, and they wanted to buy one horse for 10,000 taels of silver, but I didn't agree."

Emperor Hui quickly calculated in his mind that one horse was worth ten thousand taels of silver, and if it was multiplied a hundred times, the fifty thousand taels of silver could become five million taels.

Ambergris, this box is probably worth more than a horse.

His two million taels of silver have now appreciated in value to more than ten million.

"When I wanted to invest, Lord Gu refused. I lent it to him for free, and he accepted it. Xie girl is really honest and won't lie to me."

Xie Zhaozhao spoke very affectionately, as if when she was raised by Concubine Xi, she was called Xie girl.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "The elder is not lying to your majesty. After all, the risk is too great. The elder is just worried about your majesty's private money going down the drain."

"Alright, alright, look at you guys protecting each other, I'm the only bad guy, okay? I'm greedy!"

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

Such a great Emperor Hui is.

The two of them sat for a short while, but His Majesty was busy and did not keep them for long.

"I am old, and I like to see my subjects have happy families. If you have a child, I will personally name him."

Xie Zhaozhao's face suddenly turned red.

Your Majesty, it also gave birth!

After leaving the palace, Nanxing drove the car. Gu Shaoyu put away the small table and held her in his arms and sat together under the mink blanket.

Looking down at her, Xie Zhaozhao also looked at him.

"The Queen asked me to go and ask whether my sisters in the mansion are engaged." Xie Zhaozhao told Gu Shaoyu what the Queen said.

Gu Shaoyu pinched her ears, her chin, and her face, and had a lot of fun.

"I think the Queen wants to choose a concubine for the Prince from the Xie Mansion."

"You have seen it all. My father-in-law must be very observant."

"You call me stupid?"

"Stupid!" Gu Shaoyu nodded, "Why do you worry about such a small matter? Your father-in-law will never let the daughter of the Xie family marry the prince, or even any other prince."

"My father and grandmother would not agree, for fear that some people would become restless."

If Tiffany Hsieh was on the shortlist, her stepmother and this third sister would definitely agree with her.

The Xie family now seeks stability. They do not want further prosperity and wealth, but only want to stabilize their foundation that has been built over hundreds of years and prevent the empire from collapsing.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly thought of her previous life when, after the prince ascended the throne, he targeted the Xie family and destroyed all the graves, leaving her father and brother without a burial place.

In the previous life, Gu Shaoyu died early. She didn't think that his death was simply caused by bandits, but that he died at the hands of the Wei family. After all, he was a staunch royalist.

In this life, if Emperor Hui was gone, Gu Shaoyu would no longer have a place to stand in the court.

Therefore, the enemies faced by Xie Mansion and Gu Shaoyu are the same.

Only if Emperor Hui is saved can the Xie family and Gu Shaoyu be saved.

Neither of them spoke for a long time.

Gu Shaoyu saw that she was silent, and lay in his arms like a cat. He turned her face over, looked at her, and asked with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, what do you think of me?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Do you regret marrying me?"

"not regret."

"why?"

Why? Xie Zhaozhao came up with many reasons at once.

You are in a high position;

You are resourceful and resourceful;

You are loyal to the emperor and love the people

……

But men don't like to hear these things, so she said, "You treat me very well."

Gu Shaoyu was not satisfied, it seemed that he was not treating her well enough.

"How can I treat you well?"

"When I was in trouble, you trusted me without hesitation and supported me. When I was unwell, you took care of me all night. You supported me without hesitation in everything I wanted to do..."

She spoke carefully, and suddenly felt very emotional: "You have done so much for me?!"

"So, do you like me?"
