Funing Hall

Hearing what Zhao Cong said, Zhao Shishi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud and nodded: "Yes." He also said, "This is also the most correct thing I have done in my life."

Zhao Cong's hands were idle and he had nothing to do, when he heard this, he reached out and cupped his face: "Good boy."

Zhao Shishi laughed again, as if he finally let go of everything.He hugged Zhao Cong as he walked deep, and said quietly: "Your Majesty may not know, I didn't have the face to say it before, after all, no one is willing to admit such a thing, and is unwilling to face such a self. In fact, I have always been very self-abasement."

"self-abasement?"

Zhao Shiyi sighed and looked forward. The two of them were still shuttling between the plum forests. He helped brush away the branches that almost touched Zhao Cong's face, and held Zhao Cong higher. Then he said: "Your Majesty, At first, I felt that I was a person who came back again. I knew everything. I thought the throne was mine. Naturally, everything in this world was nothing more than that in my eyes. At that time, His Majesty was also hiding, and I still I often feel that His Majesty depends on me, and even think that I can give His Majesty a lot of help. Unexpectedly—”

Zhao Cong smiled: "Who would have thought that everything would be different."

"Exactly. The people and things I know have changed. Not only am I unable to help you, but I'm always lagging behind." Zhao Shiyi then said many things that were completely different from his previous life. When he got indoors, Not yet finished.But Zhao Cong liked to hear him say these things, Zhao Shixi put him on the couch, he pulled Zhao Shixi to his side, and said distressedly: "I have wronged you so much."

Zhao Shiyi shook his head: "Never. That's why you said, Your Majesty, that I don't feel inferior. The matter of humbleness was engraved in my heart too early in my previous life, and it is hard to change. Besides, you have gone too far. Me, I'm useless."

"Your existence is the greatest use to me." Zhao Cong took his hand.

Zhao Shixi bowed his head, but still smiled after all.He also took Zhao Cong's hand and touched the ring on his hand, which he gave out on the Lantern Festival.

He said: "Your Majesty, have you ever seen that there are also words engraved inside?"

"I saw it long ago."

"Your Majesty, what's the point of this ring?"

"It's really talkative. In my previous life, I would only exchange rings when I got married, and wear them on the ring fingers of both parties."

"What was the marriage in the previous life like?"

"Well, it's as lively as it is now, except that some girls will wear wedding dresses." Seeing his curious expression, Zhao Cong explained, "The dresses from the West, the West is on the other side of the sea."

More curiosity appeared on Zhao Shishi's face. This kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly for a while, so Zhao Cong simply said, "I'll talk to you slowly later."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shishi asked again: "Has Your Majesty ever been married?" As he spoke, he stared at him burningly.

Zhao Cong coughed and shook his head: "Not yet."

"The reason why His Majesty gave me this ring that day was because—"

Zhao Cong quickly picked up the teacup on the table and gave it to him: "Drink tea, drink tea."

Zhao Shishi smiled.

He obediently drank the cup of tea, and after finishing drinking, he asked slowly, "Your Majesty, why don't we get married again?"

"Huh?" Zhao Cong wondered.

Zhao Shiyi reached out to untie his cloak, and smiled: "Your Majesty, you understand."

Zhao Cong coughed again, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, I can't go back to the palace today."

Zhao Shiyi leaned over to pull out the jade hairpin on his head, and then gently placed the jade hairpin on the low table beside the couch, and the night really began.

The two messed around until midnight, and Zhao Cong was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes. Zhao Shishi clung to him, playing with his hair, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, in your previous life, could a man marry a man?"

Zhao Cong said in a daze, "Yes", although their country can't, but other countries can, can they?

Zhao Shiyi was silent for a while, and when Zhao Cong was almost asleep, he said with a sigh again: "Your Majesty, coming here seems to be a gift from God. It's a pity that I can't accompany you to the world for a while." trip."

Even though Zhao Cong was very sleepy, he still heard this, he smiled contentedly, and turned around to put Zhao Shishi's shoulder.

This is enough.

He really never regrets coming to this era.

Ever since he met Zhao Shiqi at the age of 16, it indicates that what he got here is far more than his entire previous life.

The next day, after Zhao Cong woke up, he took care of himself and went back to the palace first.

Before leaving, Zhao Cong told him to go to the palace to meet him, and said: "No one in the palace recognizes you now, even those officials. Six or seven years have passed, and almost all of them have changed. You can come here boldly."

He smiled: "OK."

Only then did Zhao Cong feel relieved to get on the carriage, and before leaving, he opened the curtains and called him, "Come here."

Zhao Shixi walked to the bed, lowered his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Cong pulled him, kissed him on the lips, and quickly put down the curtains.

Rantao snickered, and hurriedly called him away.

On the contrary, they made Zhao Shishi blush. I'm really not embarrassed, but I didn't expect their Majesty, who has always been upright, to behave like this.

After Zhao Cong's carriage left, he was still giggling rarely.

The knot was resolved, and as Zhao Cong said, the people in the palace had already changed.

After that day, Zhao Shishi began to go to the palace frequently.It is true that no one recognizes him, Zhao Zhongqi's court lady still remembers who he is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom.However, His Majesty and Princess didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to say too much, as they didn't know anything.Zhao Shishi also stayed in the palace, and he filled Zhao Zhongqi's vacancy of Qian Yuemo very well.

After all, children are very forgetful. Zhao Xi can take her to ride a horse, take her to catch birds, and take her to play wildly. Qian Yuemo can't do these things.Gradually, she went crazy playing with Zhao Shiyi, and forgot that Qian Yuemo hadn't come back yet.

One big and one small were having fun in Funing Palace, Zhao Cong was afraid that the little girl would be played wild, so he specially said to Zhao Shiyi: "Don't be too skinny, it's not good if you don't look like a girl. She will only grow up if she doesn't ride a horse." , what should I do if I get hurt?"

Zhao Shixi said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, why bother to restrain her, she is very good at riding horses. Once when the Zishantang students were taking riding and archery lessons, I watched them coldly. One or two of them were not as good as Rongrong. They're all ten years old."

"...Don't get used to her too much."

"I'm telling the truth. What is Your Majesty afraid of?" Zhao Shixi asked directly.

Zhao Cong choked, he naturally knew that Zhao Zhongqi was very smart.But as Zhao Zhongqi's uncle, he even raised Zhao Zhongqi as a daughter, he only hoped that the little girl would be safe and sound for the rest of her life, and he really didn't want her to be too smart and competitive.

He and Zhao Zongning will always pass away, so they cannot protect her for the rest of their lives.There are too few people in the Prince's Mansion of Anding County, and the Qian family has long since declined.She doesn't have a single sibling, so no one can protect her.

Although the future emperor does not know who he is, he has no close blood relationship with Zhao Cong.Although he was the one who got the position, who would remember Zhao Cong's promotion decades later?

This is the case in the world.

"No one can protect yourself except yourself." Zhao Shishi said, but then added, "Except Your Majesty."

Zhao Cong looked up at him.

"I will protect you for the rest of my life, and I will protect you to the death."

Zhao Cong's heart was hot again, it was only a few days after reconciliation, and he had to confess his love at least three times a day...

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Zhao Shixi said again: "Unless Your Majesty finds her a man who is capable enough to protect her for life."

Zhao Cong really didn't have this confidence.It's hard to say about feelings.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongqi is still young, so he can plan everything slowly.

And as they both expected, Yeluqin really sent troops, and fought with Song soldiers on the border between the two countries.Seeing that the army will be defeated in the near future, it is now a strong support.Zhao Shishi didn't want to mention it, but it was indeed time for him to go back and take charge.

Zhao Cong mentioned it to him, and Zhao Shiyi agreed even though he was unwilling.

It's just that the first month has passed, and Zhao Shixi proposed to watch the execution of the men from the Qian family before leaving.

This was also a big mistake he made. He was relieved to see that Qian's family members were dead.

The date of the execution had been set long ago, and it was set to take place on the first day of the first month, that is, the first day of February, and it was not delayed at all.When the sun was strongest at noon that day, the entire Qian family was executed, and Zhao Cong didn't go to see it.

Zhao Cong never watched these execution scenes. First, because he was the emperor, he didn't need to watch them.The second is that he still can't accept such a scene.Zhao Shiyi watched it among the crowd. He was born here, and he would be happy to see all the people and families he hated disappeared.

After Zhao Shixi had finished reading, he went to send someone to add make-up to Rantao.

Tomorrow he will leave for Beijing, and he doesn't know when he will be back.Rantao was about to move out of the palace in March. Although it would be nice to marry as a female official, a female official was still a court lady.Zhao Cong didn't want to wrong her, so he made a god-in-law for her in the capital, a Madam Hou as a godmother, and even accompanied Rantao with a house with three entrants.

At that time, Rantao will be married from this house, and Zhao Cong sent someone to Yangzhou to bring all her family members here.

After Zhao Shixi counted the things, he asked someone to send the things to the house where Rantao lived, and he brought the gift list into the palace.

When he arrived at Funing Hall, he didn't see Zhao Cong reading in the inner room, so he went to the study to look for it.

Zhao Cong sat behind the desk, thinking about something, obviously worried.

"His Majesty?"

Zhao Cong looked up at him: "Finished? How about it?"

"Everything is going well, I'm afraid people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice will come to report to you later. I'm standing in the crowd, and people say that the Qian family is shameless."

"Actually, I still don't know why Qian Shang wanted to treason, but now that I think about it, he has been treason for many years. The day I met you, he came to approach me with a purpose." Zhao Cong has been thinking about the past many times recently. , "Do you still remember the day at Jinmingchi, the time when Zhao Congde escaped?"

"remember."

"Later, Fu Lu told me that when he was pulling Zhao Congde to leave, someone deliberately made a noise in the crowd. The money merchant should not have gone downstairs that day, but he took the initiative to bring it up. After all, I believed him too much, and I didn't expect him to do so. in this way."

"Your Majesty is dead, so don't blame yourself."

Zhao Cong had a headache, and showed him the paper on the table: "Can you not blame yourself?"

Zhao Shishi received it and saw that it was a letter from Zhao Zongning. It was sent a few days ago, and it happened to be received today.She estimated the time and sent it by herself, saying that she was begging her brother to collect the bones for the queen's family, so as not to be buried in a random grave.

"If it was discovered earlier and the matter was resolved earlier, Ningning wouldn't have to. I'm afraid that, as you said, she really has some affection for Qian Yuemo. It's just that I know her temperament, and she's afraid It’s because I don’t realize it myself. Right now, what should I do.” The more Zhao Cong thought about it, the more depressed he became, “Qian Yuemo definitely won’t be able to return to Tokyo City—” Zhao Cong gave another step, “The imperial palace will definitely not be able to return, she This person will not appear again in the future. In the past few days, someone has already presented a memorial to abolish the Empress, and someone came to the Chongzheng Palace to meet me in private, and begged me to kill her because she violated the virtues of the queen."

"Your Majesty really wants to kill her?"

Zhao Cong sighed: "Even if Ning Ning is not here, I will not kill her. Maybe I will give her a secluded house, let people watch her, and live this life in peace. It's just difficult now. If Ning Ning I really love her, this is my only younger sister, and I will plan for her. But this younger sister, alas, she probably doesn't even count herself."

Zhao Shixi nodded and said nothing.After all, he still has some hatred for Qian Yuemo in his heart, even at this time.After all, Qian Yuemo can be a queen aboveboard, and Qian Yuemo still appears when Zhao Cong needs it most, and she is always by her side when Zhao Cong is important.This is also the root of his character, he is sometimes too paranoid.

However, he thought about Zhao Zongning's stupid appearance that day, and simply said: "Since Your Majesty wants to know her thoughts, there is a way."

"What way?"

When Zhao Shiyi explained the method, Zhao Cong was taken aback, but he adopted it.

The next day, Zhao Shiyi quietly returned to Beijing with his people.Before leaving, he handed the gift list to Rantao in the corridor of Funing Hall.

Rantao received it, read it carefully, and said with a smile, "Lang Jun, you are going too far."

"Thanks to you these years, I wanted to give you more, but I couldn't go beyond His Majesty. His Majesty also wanted to give you more, but he is such a status after all, so it's not easy to give. In the future, we will subsidize you in private. "

Rantao was a little sad because he was about to leave the palace, but when he said this, tears fell.She covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and said with a forced smile: "The servant girl also has savings over the years, and the days are getting better and better, and you have added so much makeup, so how can you and your majesty make up for it?"

"Xiao Tang is the one who knows best how to make progress. If he can't make money, if he doesn't have the ability, His Majesty will not give you to him."

"Lang Jun, you—"

"This is also our intention, you deserve it."

"You are worth it", these three words, for Rantao, are really the most worthwhile three words.

Rantao cried and said with a smile: "When you come back, come to the house, the servant girl will entertain you well."

"Success. By then, you will be Mrs. Xiao."

Rantao was crying and laughing, and a little embarrassed, she gave her a blessing: "From now on, the servant girl will not be in the palace, so I will not be able to serve you any more. I will not say much else, so I wish you and Your Majesty white hair." Qi Mei, life after life."

"Thank you."

Zhao Shishi smiled, and then walked out of Funing Hall.

Zhao Cong was in Chongzheng Hall, so he didn't go see him off, let alone tell him to come back.If there is no such trust, then the efforts of each other for more than half a month will be in vain.

He still has this confidence.

After he left, Zhao Zhongqi had no one to play with again, and started crying again.

Thinking of Xiao Shiyi's words, Zhao Cong finally became ruthless and stopped messing around with Zhao Zhongqi.Instead, Zhao Zhongqi was also sent to Zishantang, and asked her to attend classes with the elders of various families.

Zhao Cong also wrote a good letter and sent it to Zhao Zongning again.As for what Zhao Zongning asked him to do, he also asked others to do it.The female family members of the Qian family have not been convicted, Zhao Cong can't do anything about using the offender's family members as official prostitutes, but the house of the Qian family has long been sealed, and such a big incident will deal a great blow to the family.

They wanted to collect the corpse, but they were powerless.

Zhao Cong's people collected the corpses for them and buried them, which can be regarded as repaying Qian Yuemo's help these years.

In Dengzhou, Qian Yuemo's body is already in good condition, but she seldom speaks.

She didn't talk or ask, she knew it in her heart.In the first few days, she often asked her family members, but Zhao Zongning only said that she didn't know.After that, Zhao Zongning didn't dare to come and see her.

Zhao Zongning wanted to see her very much, and was very worried about her, but he dared not face her.

Or in other words, dare not face the self who would panic in the face of Qian Yuemo like this.

As early as more than ten days ago, Zhao Cong wrote to her to tell her the day of execution, and she dared not see Qian Yuemo on the first day of February, and she would not allow anyone to talk nonsense in front of Qian Yuemo.After a few days, Zhao Zongning confirmed that he couldn't see any flaws in his body, so he dared to visit Qian Yuemo.Unexpectedly, before she went out, Che Xia came in and said, "Princess, there is a little lady outside who is looking for the queen. The maidservant looks at her, she looks very much like the floating book beside the empress before."

Piaoshu is Qian Yuemo's personal envoy, and after entering the palace, she is also her first lady-in-waiting, and later becomes a female official.

Zhao Zongning called someone in, questioned her carefully, and learned that she fell into the water and escaped death because she could swim.It was only after being seriously injured that he swam to the shore and was rescued by a fisherman. After raising him for a while, he found out that the princess and empress were still in the city.

With Piao Shu, the person who grew up with Qian Yuemo, Zhao Zongning felt relieved, and she wanted to go together.

Another person came in from outside and said: "Princess, Your Majesty has a letter."

Zhao Zongning paused, sent the person out, took a deep breath, and opened the letter to read.

Looking at it this way, she was stupid.

Zhao Cong said that Qian Yuemo would be executed.

Zhao Zongning had never seriously loved anyone before, back then she and Sun Zhuyun treated each other like guests, this was the extreme.

In fact, she really has feelings for Qian Yuemo, but she doesn't understand, even at this moment.

She didn't know that the feeling of her heart beating fast when she saw Qian Yuemo floating on the beam was love, and she didn't know that the worry and timidity these days were love.Zhao Cong is a qualified brother who gave her the best she could give.Only this matter, Zhao Cong can't teach her.

Zhao Zongning knew that his elder brother always kept his word, and if he said he would be executed, he would really be executed.

But my brother was right, Qian Yuemo committed a serious crime.She drugged the emperor, her husband, and helped traitors, she deserved to die.

But how could she watch Qian Yuemo die?

With a fever in her head, she put down the letter and ran out.

Piaoshu and Qian Yuemo talked about how they escaped from the hands of the money merchant, saying that it was Chen Bai who secretly saved her life.Knowing that she could swim, Chen Bo didn't stab her with a knife, but pushed her into the water.But Chen Bo was already dead, Piaoshu cried with a handkerchief, saying that he shouldn't have scolded him at that time, and Chen Bo also had difficulties.

Seeing her crying silently, Qian Yue comforted her with a few words like "people cannot be resurrected after death".

After Piaoshu's mood stabilized, she asked about the Qian family. After all, she had been living in a small fishing village since she came back to life.She has no way of knowing about things like Beijing.She hurriedly asked: "Lady, how is our family?"

Piao Shu was really worried, and Qian Yuemo had always been a very calm image in front of her. At this time, Qian Yuemo looked very peaceful, so she dared to ask.

Qian Yuemo was indeed still peaceful. She glanced at the hook hanging on the edge of the curtain, and said calmly: "Father died a long time ago, and only one head remained. It is said that the body was fed to wild beasts in the mountains. Family?" She She pulled her lips and smiled, "Except for the female relatives, all the family members died, on the first day of February."

"..." Piao Shu was too stunned to speak.

Qian Yuemo also said: "I don't know if my mother is okay. She has been angry with her father for most of her life, and she is not in good health. Can she survive this encounter? Father is also true. Why drag the whole family down if you want to die yourself? The second cousin is the best with me. I married him the little lady, and all of them are gone. A good gentleman, who studies hard and has good conduct, so he is gone..." Qian Yuemo said these things calmly It was a very unsettling thing, and the hairs on my body stood on end after listening to Piaoshu.

Zhao Zongning hurried in and heard these words.

"Princess..." Piao Shu got up in panic, Che Xia winked at her, and led her out.

Standing by the bed, Zhao Zongning looked at Qian Yuemo who was a few feet away, not daring to come any closer.

Qian Yuemo lowered her head and said: "Father is guilty of a serious crime and deserves to die, but why did he drag the whole family to die? And why didn't I die with him..." She raised her head, looked at Zhao Zongning, and asked , "Princess, why didn't you let me die then?"

"You, you already know?"

Qian Yuemo pulled out a smile: "I am still the queen for the time being, and someone told me that I gave some money. I know, I know that my father is dead, and I know that the whole family, uncles and brothers are gone."

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Zhao Zongning has hardly ever said these three words to anyone in his life.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yuemo was calm at first, but now she burst into tears: "Princess, why did you say these three words to me? Our Qian family is sorry for His Majesty and you. Our family is ashamed of the trust we have placed in you and Your Majesty. We are ashamed of our trust in you and Your Majesty. Your Majesty's promotion over the years, we all deserve death, damn it, including me, too! I'm sorry Your Majesty! I deserve to die!"

Qian Yuemo's mood was obviously ups and downs, holding back for too long, it was a time of extreme instability.

She really held it in for too long, until Piaoshu came back today, she asked a breakthrough, and she finally broke out.

Zhao Zongning hurried forward, reached out to support her, and persuaded: "It has nothing to do with you!"

Qian Yuemo struggled to break away from her, and cried, "Damn me, I might as well die that day!"

It was useless for Zhao Zongning to comfort her no matter what, Qian Yuemo could only say "I deserve to die", and even taking advantage of Zhao Zongning's inattention, she pulled out the soft whip from Zhao Zongning's waist to tie her neck.Zhao Zongning was scared out of his wits, because he was afraid that she would commit suicide, so he put away all the dangerous things in the house, but he forgot to take them down.

Qian Yuemo moved quickly, Zhao Zongning reached out to snatch it, and she had already strangled her neck.

Zhao Zongning broke her hand away with all his strength, pulled back the soft whip, threw it to the ground, and turned around before taking a breath.Then I saw Qian Yuemo leaning on the bedpost, with tears all over her face: "Let me die, please, let me die."

Zhao Zongning didn't know where the anger came from, seeing her like this, he suddenly said angrily: "You are dead, what should I do!"

After a while, Qian Yuemo looked at her in shock.

Zhao Zongning was very bored, she frowned and said urgently: "I saved you, not to make you die again!"

Disappointment appeared on Qian Yuemo's face, and Zhao Zongning simply went all out: "I know you have me in your heart! It's the kind of brother who treats Xiaoshi! I also know that the things you cried in my Luoyang other courtyard in the past are all about Xiaoshi. I told you! I don't know what love is, and I don't know how to respond. But I really can't see you spoiling yourself like this. Since you survived, that's God's will. In the future, live well, will you make it? Qian Shang What does it have to do with you if he bears his own sins?"

This passage was too sudden.

There were still tears on Qian Yuemo's face, but she couldn't care less, she could only stare blankly at Zhao Zongning.

Zhao Zongning took a deep breath: "We will leave tomorrow!"

"Where to go?"

"Find a place to stay for three or two years, and it will be fine when my brother's anger subsides."

"No!"

"I say it, it will work!" Zhao Zongning said the words just now, feeling a little embarrassed, and put down a few harsh words, "In short, I saved your life, don't think about dying! We will leave tomorrow !” After that, she turned around in a panic, annoyed and ashamed, and ran away.

Qian Yuemo leaned against the bedpost, and the red mark just now gradually appeared on her fair neck.She slowly sorted out what Zhao Zongning said, and she felt happy and even more worried.

To get Zhao Zongning's words in this life is really the greatest surprise.

It's just that Zhao Zongning is so noble, how can he be dragged down by her?Besides, the princess is still young.

She slowed down for a while, barely sat up, and found a pen and paper to write a letter.

Chapter 246 Outer Part [-]. Every year ([-])┃I, I am willing to waste the rest of my life with you.

Zhao Cong did not expect that such a provocative letter from him would tempt his sister so much that she ran away directly.

If she wanted to explore the deepest part of Qian Yuemo's heart, she would definitely be willing to go with Zhao Zongning.But she's not Zhao Zongning, it's better that she grew up being pampered and pampered, and His Majesty left her to do everything according to her interest and impulsiveness, wherever she thought of.And at this time, Qian Yuemo put aside all this and walked away.

She quickly wrote a letter and asked Piaoshu to secretly send it back to Beijing.After she delivered the letter, she planned to pretend to be sick, so as to delay until His Majesty sent someone to pick up Zhao Zongning.Zhao Zongning was afraid that her brother would take Qian Yuemo back to the capital to be executed. This was a matter of life and death. She could not go against her brother's wishes, and she could not ignore Qian Yuemo's life or death at all.Qian Yuemo was "ill", but she still thought it was easy to handle.

She and Che Xia changed into men's clothes, carried Qian Yuemo on their shoulders and ran away at night.

Che Xia wanted to persuade them, to persuade the princess to go back to the capital and talk to His Majesty, but she really couldn't persuade her.If there are too many people, it is easy to be exposed. If others don't take it, she will definitely keep up with their princess.

Although Zhao Zongning is not as good as the other girls and is often confined in the back house, the farthest place she has been to since she was a child is now Dengzhou.I have to run for a while, and there are only three of them, so I really don't know where to run.And this way of running is very particular.

If she really wants to run far away and make a big fuss, her brother will annoy her.But it can't be too close, otherwise they can be found out as soon as they are found, and she has to ensure the safety of the three of them.She really thought about it for a long time, and found a place that her brother would never go to in the past two or three years—the Southwest.

At the end of the year, Zhao Shu'an is going to get married too, and she will show up at that time, so that her brother can know her whereabouts.

From the beginning to the end, she felt that it was really good, so she took people and ran away.

When Zhao Cong received Qian Yuemo's letter, it was already three days later, and the three of them had already left Dengzhou.

As soon as Zhao Cong followed the letter, he knew that Zhao Zongning must have taken Qian Yuemo away long ago.It was exactly as he expected, but it took another half a day, all the guards of the princess mansion came back in panic, and reported that the princess was gone.

They were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, all waiting to die.

Zhao Cong rubbed his forehead, it hurts.

I really can't blame these guards for this matter, Zhao Zongning wants to accomplish something, how can these people stop him.But they had to be fined, Zhao Cong fined them a year's salary, the chief guard resigned, and told them to make up for their mistakes and go to Zhao Zongning.

When looking for it, the news cannot be exposed.

The princess disappeared together with the queen, how can such news spread?

Not only the guards of the Princess Mansion, Shao Yi was also sent by Zhao Cong to find Zhao Zongning and Qian Yuemo.The more Zhao Cong thought about it, the more painful his head became. Originally, he intended to scare Zhao Zongning.Well now, it really freaked her out.But he also really knew that his sister was really special to Qian Yuemo.

Zhao Cong really wanted to write another letter to Zhao Shishi, it was his good idea.But when I think about it, he is also very busy.I can only go to Zishantang to see Zhao Zhongqi in a bad mood.

Before Zhao Zhongqi came to Zishantang to study, Zhao Cong took her to study, and assigned her some writing and endorsement tasks every day, and checked her every night.Frankly speaking, although the little girl is very active, even more active than her mother, but when writing or memorizing, she can calm down very much, which is also better than her mother.

Zhao Cong walked outside Zishan Hall, and stood quietly on the porch looking at the little radish heads inside.

The youngest among them, the carrot head, sat in the first row, lowered his head and seemed to be struggling to write, but his body remained motionless.

The lecturer walked back and forth, watching them practice calligraphy.After walking back and forth, when the husband turned his head, he saw Zhao Cong outside, and when he was stunned, he wanted to come forward to salute.

Zhao Cong quickly shook his head at him, the gentleman understood, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice, "I'll check it out in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes—" the little radishheads answered in unison, and then continued to write quietly with their heads down.

Mr. Lecturer came out, followed Zhao Cong to the corridor, and then saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhao Cong called him up and asked, "How is the princess these days?"

"The princess is very smart, and what's even more rare is that she can calm down at a young age."

"She is different from the elders, so I trouble you to teach her alone."

Although Zhao Zhongqi attends classes with these boys, but they are of different ages, the husband always tells her something that she can understand.

The gentleman immediately panicked and said: "I dare not. It is my duty to teach the princess, and it is a great blessing." Smartest kid I've ever met."

Zhao Cong smiled: "Your father said that to me before." After laughing, Zhao Cong put away his smile again, "It's just that he told me in secret."

The gentleman froze again: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to talk nonsense, the princess is indeed very talented."

Zhao Cong also believed that he didn't lie to himself, and Xiao Shiyi also said that Zhao Zhongqi was smart, and even he knew it.He looked in the direction of Zishantang again, and said again: "Your father is a smart man, how about you?"

The gentleman blinked a few times, and cupped his hands: "I know my duty."

Zhao Cong gave an appreciative "hmm" before laughing again: "I took the princess away first, and I'll be here today."

"Yes."

Zhao Cong didn't go there either, he didn't want the little carrots to know that he had been here.Just ask Fu Lu to carry Zhao Zhongqi out and take her back to Funing Hall.On the way, Zhao Cong thought to himself, no matter how bad his health is, at least he can live for more than ten years.Zhao Zhongqi is still young, so he observes first and can teach slowly.

It's just that with Zhao Zongning's example first, he can no longer raise Zhao Zhongqi to be like her mother.

Zhao Zongning had him to protect him, but his niece did not.

Zhao Zhongqi was very happy holding Zhao Cong's hand. When they passed the Kunning Palace, the little girl pouted her mouth and bowed her head without speaking.Zhao Cong knew it just by looking at it, but he still remembered it in his heart.

He also smiled wryly, but it was indeed predestined.

And Zhao Zongning and Qian Yuemo ran away like this, and they ran for more than half a year.No matter how worried Zhao Cong is, the three of them are very happy.They brought enough gold and silver, and Che Xia was already talented, and she was the envoy carefully selected by the former An Ding County King for his daughter.Zhao Zongning also has some kung fu of a three-legged cat, especially with the whip in his hand, which is particularly superb, so he is not afraid of encountering bad guys.

They bought a boat a long time ago, and they traveled by water all the way, which was very cheap.

It's also a good luck, and they did not meet any bad people. With gold and silver by their side, good food and drink, the journey will naturally be happy.Qian Yuemo had never traveled far, so she was originally depressed and worried.But seeing different winds and rains, mountains and rivers, as well as the bustling crowds on the bank from the boat, the mood naturally opened up.

At first, the three of them had the mentality of running away, and they were in a hurry.In the end, I was really addicted to it.Those who were looking for them thought they were going to hurry up and run away, but instead they slowed down and kept staggering.

Zhao Cong knew his sister well, guessed that she might be going to the southwest, so he sent a letter to Zhang Tingchu a long time ago, telling him to keep an eye on her.Zhang Tingchu was also in charge, and personally led his master along Yizhou to the north to find the princess.When the people in the palace met Zhang Tingchu on the way, they still failed to find Zhao Zongning.

It was already the end of September of this year, Zhang Tingchu couldn't stay away any longer, he had to go home and make arrangements for marrying Zhao Shu'an and other matters.

Seeing that the sky was getting cold, Zhao Zongning still couldn't find him, and Zhao Cong almost lost his temper.No matter how capable Zhao Zongning and Che Xia are, how can people not be worried if the three girls are away?What's more, what's the use of their little ability if they really meet a villain?

He was already on the verge of getting angry, but Zhao Shiyi, who had promised to come back in the past few days, hadn't returned, so he became even more angry and anxious.

In the past few months, Zhao Shishi often traveled between Liao and Song Dynasty, and Yeluqin had already ascended the throne as emperor.By the time of the Winter Solstice this year, Yeluqin will come to Tokyo in person to sign a new agreement with Song.Although Yeluqin has become the emperor, Zhao Shishi is actually the one behind the scenes.

Yeluqin didn't think he could really be an emperor in this life. Although he was considered a half puppet emperor, he was very satisfied to be able to sit on a high seat for a while.Originally, he was also thinking about the great cause of the Liao Kingdom. Over the years, he has worked hard and mentally, and he has aged a lot.

The old wife at home also persuaded him that at this age, why not be drunk today when he has wine.He thought so too, who knows that he will die one day, at least he died wearing a dragon robe now.As for going against Zhao Shishi, he didn't dare at all.Leaving aside the fact that the army is still in the hands of Zhao Shishi, let's talk about the battle between the Liao Kingdom and Song Dynasty in Cangzhou. Yu Song was fine, but they were really hurt.

Both Xixia and Jurchen fell into the hands of Zhao Cong, and Zhao Cong helped Zhao Shishi again. What could he use to contend with Zhao Shishi?But he was also curious, Zhao Shishi was sure that the blood of the first emperor was true, why should he not be the emperor himself, but follow the emperor of a foreign country like this?

Ten years earlier, Yeluqin really had the courage to fight it out, but now he can just muddle along.After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out, so he decided to stop thinking about it.On the face of him, he especially admired the previous Emperor of Liao, Yelu Yanli.Everyone in the Liao Kingdom said that the "first emperor" had passed away, but he insisted that His Majesty went to sea to seek blessings for the people.At first, he was still unwilling to ascend the throne, but it was the officials who knelt and begged for three days before he ascended the throne.

After ascending the throne, he still refused to live in the palace where Yelu Yanli once lived, and ordered countless people to write poems praising him. In short, he gave Zhao Shishi a lot of face.

When Zhao Shishi learned about it, he sneered and glanced at him.

Yeluqin's back was sweating immediately, and after Zhao Shiyi left, he slumped on the chair and cursed, "This emperor is really hard to be his grandmother", but no matter how hard it is to be, he must hold it tightly in his hands. .He said that he is happy to sit on the top every day and watch the people below kneel down on him!

Fortunately, although Zhao Shishi will take care of major events, he can also decide on small matters by himself.This time Zhao Shishi went to the Liao Kingdom because he had important matters to deal with, and by the way, he told Yeluqin to prepare for the Winter Solstice Court Meeting.Originally, it took up to ten days to go back and forth, and then came back.

It's been half a month, and the person hasn't come back yet.

Zhao Cong got angry and had a sore throat.
