Funing Hall

Zhao Shiqi ended his days of confinement, and the one outside the palace is still locked in the princess mansion.

Zhao Cong planned to take Zhao Shiqi out of the palace to the princess mansion in a few days, Zhao Cong said: "She is more escaped than you, and she is outside the palace. She must be locked up for a few more days before she will be obedient."

Zhao Shiqi asked: "About Sun Zhuyun, what is His Majesty's plan?"

Zhao Cong pondered for a moment, and said: "When I leave the palace, I will ask her. If she doesn't object, I plan to give them marriages." He laughed again, "It's ironic, but in the end it was the descendants of the Sun family who did it." Who would have expected that he would become the son-in-law of Princess Zhao's family?"

"Sun Zhuyun, very good."

"It's rare for you to say yes. I love real people, and Sun Zhuyun is superior here. He knows what he has and what he doesn't, and he knows how to put himself in the right place. If he has the status of a son-in-law, he will be able to say a lot in the future." Some weight should be helpful to Ningning. With Ningning's temper, either find someone who can control her, or find someone who is willing to listen to her and can subtly influence her. Obviously, for the former, I still have Never seen."

Zhao Shiqi thought of something else: "Your Majesty, in recent years, there have been no promising children in the clan. If the princess gives birth to a son in the future—"

Zhao Cong didn't care and said: "The children she gave birth to may not be successful. Who knows what will happen in the future. I just want to be the emperor." This is Zhao Cong's real thought, and he will choose a few at that time The clan's children of the right age were raised in the palace, and finally the most suitable one was chosen to inherit his throne.If the sons of the clan were really unusable, and Zhao Zongning happened to give birth to a son, he would bring them in without discrimination.

The winner wins.

He also directly said that he has become less and less secretive about Zhao Shiqi, and he himself has not realized it.

Zhao Shiqi realized it, and inexplicably felt a trace of joy in his heart, and he smiled.

That's fine.

Knowing about Qian Yuemo's affair with Zhao Cong, Zhao Shiqi is in a very good mood these days.The only thing is that Jixiang has been working for Fulu recently, and he has not been out of the palace. He can't get the books hidden by Yang Yuan, and he can't compare them.He thought to himself, it is better to go to the palace, after all, when Mu Fu arrived in Hangzhou, there must be a letter for him.

As soon as he thought this way, the next day, Yan Mo went to Donghua Gate to look for him.

Cha Xi personally went to bring Yan Mo into the palace, and when he entered Funing Hall, he happily took out a letter from his sleeve: "Lang Jun, Uncle Mu is back, this is his letter."

There must be some progress, Mu Fu will come back, and there will be a letter.Regardless of the progress of which matter, it is always a good thing.

Zhao Shiqi immediately opened the envelope, took out the letter, and saw that it was really a good thing.One is that Mu Fu saw Zhao Ting in Hangzhou!The second is that the matter of printing has indeed made progress.

Let's talk about Zhao Ting first. After Mu Fu arrived in Hangzhou, he immediately took care of Yi Yu's affairs and arranged all the manpower properly. Unexpectedly, he saw Zhao Ting.

Speaking of the fact that Zhao Congde and Zhao Ting had slipped away, everyone knew what Zhao Congde looked like. Zhao Ting was sent to Songzhou at the age of 13. Others really didn't know what he looked like, so it was very hard to find. .Zhao Shiqi knew about it, and even painted a portrait, which was taken out by others to find him.

So Mu Fu also knew what Zhao Ting looked like.

According to the letter, because no one knew that Zhao Ting was Shi Langjun of the Prince Wei's mansion who had fled, he had a good time in Hangzhou.Of course, Zhao Ting just thought he was happy, he had a lot of money, after all, Sun Xiaoyu had a lot of dowry.He didn't want to think about Shu very much, and he didn't want to escape when he arrived in Hangzhou. He had already bought a three-year-old house in Hangzhou, thinking that he was safe enough.

Mu Fu asked him if he wanted to kill Zhao Ting.

Zhao Shiqi read the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope. This matter still needs to be discussed with Zhao Cong.

He said to Yan Mo: "If I knew you were going to enter the palace today, I would have asked you to bring things in."

"Huh? What are you bringing? The maidservant brought in the fabric, and it was Sister Ran Tao's agreement that when Mu Fu sent the letter back, she brought it with her."

"You go to Rantao. Tell Uncle Mu again, I will go out of the palace to look for him in a few days, and you tell him to look for the person he is looking for."

"it is good."

After Zhao Shiqi finished speaking, he wanted to go out.

"Lang Jun—" Yan Mo stopped him, wanting to talk about that little lady.She sent people to the mansion to deliver many items, but the little lady sent people different each time, and it was impossible to tell who the servant was from by looking at his clothes.She has the same thoughts as Zhao Zongning. Those who dare to express their love in this way are probably the young ladies of a rich family. That's why they have so many people for dispatch. The people they send are different every time. Maybe they can make things happen with her husband. .

Her wife was thinking about San Lang's marriage, and she was afraid of offending her, so she couldn't easily inquire about it, so she wanted to ask Zhao Shiqi for an idea right now.

Zhao Shiqi was full of Zhao Ting's affairs in his mind, and said indifferently: "Let's talk about it later."

"Okay..." Yan Mo watched him leave.

Zhao Ting was indeed in Hangzhou. The day after Yan Mo entered the palace, Sun Xiaoyu's nurse also sent a letter. Sun Xiaoyu quietly sent a letter back to Kaifeng, including where they lived now.

To kill or to catch is just one sentence.

Zhao Cong didn't know what Zhao Ting was like in his previous life, and he didn't value Zhao Ting very much, but since he found it, he wanted to bring it back.He ordered to arrest him alive, and Shao Yi immediately sent someone to Hangzhou.

Zhao Shiqi's hands were itchy. In his previous life, he killed Zhao Ting with his own hands. In this life, he still wants to kill him with his own hands.

It's just that Zhao Cong didn't tell him to go, so he could only be honest.

Although His Majesty allowed him to leave the Palace of Funing, he did not say that he was allowed to leave the palace.Originally, they also agreed to go to the Princess Mansion together, but Zhao Cong has been busy recently and has no time to go out for the time being.

During the days when he couldn't go out of the palace, Zhao Shiqi was quite peaceful.He just waited for Yi Yu's family's merchant ship to be robbed, and then to see how Yi Yu would react.

And when Mu Fu was looking for a printing factory in the south, he did find someone who seemed to understand this technology in Suzhou.The man's surname is Lian, he is a scholar who has passed through the ages, and he gave up the exam after repeated attempts. He specializes in the paper business, and there is a printing factory at home, and the business is booming.It is also well-known in ten miles and eight townships. At the beginning of this year, Lian Xiucai released a new batch of books, which are extremely beautifully printed, but the quantity is small, so they are also very expensive.

Others only think that this company has more talent and more money, and the technology of the home printing factory is also more exquisite.

And Yi Yu has always kept secrets, and the books printed with his technology are only sent to the palace, there is no such thing in the market, so no one knows that there is such a way to print books.

But Mu Fu knew it!He had also seen books printed with new technology, and when he heard that there was an extremely expensive book on sale, he immediately went to the door to read the book, and it was true.Unfortunately, even though Xiucai did not take the imperial examination, Fan Qiuwei would always go to Kaifeng, saying that this was his wish. .

When Mu Fu heard this, he quickly arranged the matter properly, and headed back to Kaifeng.

As long as people are in Kaifeng, it's easy to find.

As long as he finds this person, what else can Yi Yu use?

Although he was in the palace and couldn't go out, knowing Mu Fu's ability to handle affairs, Zhao Shiqi felt more at ease.

Now, he is repairing books, waiting for news, and painting.

Every year on Zhao Cong's birthday, it has become a habit to draw a picture for him.

He likes to paint in the back garden, but he met Qian Yuemo several times.Qian Yuemo knew that His Majesty planned to marry Sun Zhuyun, although she knew it was a good thing, after all Sun Zhuyun was a good gentleman, and she also knew that with her status, she was not qualified to be sentimental, but her heart was still very bitter.

Another day, the two of them met in the back garden.Zhao Shiqi thought for a while, and said to Qian Yuemo: "Concubine Shu seems to have something on her mind recently?"

Strictly speaking, such words are somewhat ambiguous.

But Zhao Shiqi knew the true relationship between Qian Yuemo and Zhao Cong. At this time, Qian Yuemo was similar to Zhao Zongning in Zhao Shiqi's eyes.Qian Yuemo has helped Zhao Cong a lot, and he has been jealous of Qian Yuemo for a long time. At this time, he also wants to make up, just as Zhao Cong said.

Qian Yuemo didn't know that he would say this, she wanted to force it, but she still smiled wryly: "It's okay, thank you for your care, Mr. Xiaolang."

Zhao Shiqi nodded his head, but he didn't want to ask if he didn't want to talk about it.

In the end he lifted his foot and left.

Qian Yuemo can also feel that the relationship with Zhao Shiqi is getting better recently, although she doesn't know why, it is a good thing after all.She made some snacks with her own hands, and asked the maid to give them to His Majesty and Zhao Shiqi, and said to the maid, "Your Majesty, be careful, there are outsiders there."

Qian Yuemo was very cautious, and naturally knew to avoid suspicion.

The palace lady agreed, and happily carried the food box to deliver the food.The court lady avoided people and sent her directly to the room where Zhao Shiqi was on business. There were only Zhao Shiqi and the adult in the room.In the Palace of Funing, maids often bring food to him, but no one cares.Zhao Shiqi didn't care even more, but when he raised his head, he casually asked, "Why have I never seen you before?" He thought this was also a palace maid of Funing Hall.

The maid smiled and said, "The servant girl is from Xueliu Pavilion."

"It turned out that Concubine Shu ordered you to send it, thank her for me."

"Yes." The maid blessed her, turned and left.

Afterwards, the maids sent them back a few more times, and within a few days, Zhao Cong heard that Zhao Shiqi had an affair with Qian Yuemo.

There are officials of all temperaments in the court, and some people regard the royal family's face as more important than the sky.There was an old and staid censor from Yushitai who asked to see His Majesty, Zhao Cong also saw him, thought he was going to report someone again, and thought in his heart that he had changed his sex this time, so he even told him in private.

Unexpectedly, the censor opened his mouth and said that Zhao Shiqi, the eleventh prince of Weijun's mansion, had an affair with Qian Yuemo, concubine Shu. Please check it out clearly.

Zhao Cong didn't know what to say.After a long while, he asked: "You know something that I don't even know?"

The old censor said rightly: "Mr. Eleven is working on books in the Library Pavilion, and Concubine Shu sent someone to bring him food several times, and the two of them often have private meetings in the back garden."

This is why Qian Yuemo often sent food to Zhao Shiqi, and was seen by his colleagues.Zhao Cong also knew that there was no real harmony among his colleagues, someone was jealous of Zhao Shiqi and made up random arrangements, even though he knew that the censor was unwilling to reveal who it was, he still asked: "Who did Mr. Chen listen to? You are the censor, but you never come to the harem."

Of course, the old censor would not confess anyone.

Zhao Cong smiled lightly, and said with a hint of warning: "Master Chen, those meals were all prepared by Concubine Shu. The Eleventh Lang is my nephew and heir, and I allow him to live in the house." In the palace. Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years and managed the harem for me, and I respect her very much. There are some things that should not be said indiscriminately."

"Your Majesty—" Chen Yushi thought it was His Majesty covering up.

"That's the end of the story. In the future, I don't want to hear such words. Mr. Chen should also keep this tone, don't let others listen to it!"

"minister--"

Zhao Cong said in a deep voice: "Fulu, send Mr. Chen out of the palace."

"Yes."

The old censor was sent out by Fu Lu, Zhao Cong was a little silent.

Originally, Zhao Shiqi was the heir to the throne at a young age, and there must be many people who were jealous of him and even dissatisfied with him.These things were within Zhao Cong's expectations, but he didn't expect the slander to be so ridiculous, to talk about Zhao Shiqi and Qian Yuemo.

He was angry for a while, then laughed again, they didn't know how much Zhao Shiqu hated Qian Yuemo, and they were often jealous in the past.

After laughing, he sighed.I used to think that whether it is the Imperial Academy or being a minister, most of them are elegant people.But I didn't think about it, and that's all.He called Lu Yuan in and asked, "Do you know which colleague your lord has the most contacts with in the Zangshu Pavilion?"

Lu Yuan immediately replied: "It is Mr. Li who often goes out of the palace with Mr. Lang to do business. He is over 30 years old. Mr. Yu is the one who shares the house with Mr. Lang."

Mr. Li, Zhao Cong knew that he was the one who was afraid of guilt. Hearing what Zhao Shiqi said, he didn't have any tricks.Mr. Yu, he didn't know him, he said: "Go and see what is the origin of Mr. Yu."

"Yes."

Zhao Cong didn't take this matter too seriously. When autumn came, he still had to transfer Zhao Shiqi to Shangshu Province, and he would never listen to Zhao Shiqi.He felt that with Zhao Shiqi's ability, he had been studying books all day long, and it was really a bit buried.Going to Shangshu Province, the yamen is outside the palace, and there are fewer people who gossip.

Although Zhao Cong didn't take it seriously, he took the time to go to Zangshu Pavilion in person.

When His Majesty arrived, everyone immediately came over to salute, Zhao Shiqi followed suit, Zhao Cong waved to him: "Come here."

Zhao Shiqi walked up to him with a smile, Zhao Cong said kindly, "I just came here to have a look, who is Master Yu?"

A young gentleman came out and bowed his head.

"This is Mr. Yu, who is so young, and I'm afraid he will make great achievements in the future."

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering where the luck of the lord came from, what Your Majesty said!Is it just because he and Mr. Eleven work in the same house?

They didn't know that Zhao Cong was beating this person.Zhao Cong hoped that this would be the end of the adult's point of view, that he would not just be jealous of others all day long, and do his own serious business well.

Zhao Shiqi didn't know that Zhao Cong was beating, he thought that Zhao Cong said these words because the adults were in the same room with him, and he was quite happy.

Zhao Cong turned around and left, Zhao Shiqi went outside to see him off.

The others walked up to Lord Yu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Yu has to give advice, and I'm afraid he will be promoted in the future!"

Master Yu looked up, his face pale.

In fact, Master Yu is really not jealous of Zhao Shiqi.

He and Yi Yu were in the same year, and they both stayed at the Hanlin Academy, and got along quite well.A few days ago, he and Yi Yu ate wine together, and Yi Yu drank too much, and when he was drunk, he accidentally mentioned that when he entered the palace, he saw that Eleven Lord and Concubine Shu behaving too closely.

Master Yu hurriedly cut off Yi Yu's words, for fear that he would spout nonsense.It's just that after hearing what Yi Yu said, when he entered the palace again, he would involuntarily care about this matter.And these days, Qian Yuemo and Zhao Shiqi are indeed very close. Although they are not as close as they thought, they are indeed somewhat ambiguous in the eyes of outsiders.

Master Yu saw it in his eyes, although he felt inappropriate in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, he was a cautious character.How did he know that Yi Yu said those words to him on purpose.Later, Yi Yu called him out for a drink, got him drunk, and played tricks on him.When Mr. Yu was drunk, he said what he didn't dare to say in the past.

This is great, even though the two of them were sitting alone in the corner, there was someone on the table behind them, and the person sitting happened to be the old censor.

Sir Yu didn't know anything about it, it was Yi Yu who did it on purpose, that's why those things happened later.

Mr. Yu is timid and pale, and it is also because of His Majesty's "pointing".He didn't know what happened because of his words, but he was afraid that he was drunk that day and talked nonsense.He secretly thought that he would never see Yi Yu again.
