Funing Hall

Before Zhao Shiqi left, the relationship with Zhao Zongning had become very peaceful.

When he rescued Zhao Cong and spoke officially, Zhao Zongning did doubt him for a long time.But he was already determined to leave at that time, he never meddled in his own business, and the things he cared about were all for Zhao Cong's good.Over time, Zhao Zongning has gradually let go of his prejudice against him.

But at this time, when Zhao Zongning entered the inner room and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar person sitting beside the bed, her eyebrows raised again involuntarily.

She can also recognize the person in front of her at a glance, those eyes are too recognizable.

She came in a hurry, and others had not had time to tell her about Zhao Shiqi.

Today she is dressed in a erlang dress again, whenever she is dressed as a erlang, she doesn't like to wear red, she prefers to wear that moon-white long gown, which makes her look more elegant and handsome.She was tall, and sometimes, when viewed from behind, she really couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

When she came in all in white, she saw the one by the bed who was all in black.

The one in black was still talking, heard her coming in, looked up at her, and continued to ask: "Besides that, is there anything wrong?"

The former doctor Bai, who is now the head of the imperial physician, said sweatingly: "Your Majesty is diligent in political affairs. Although he has been recuperating, his body is always a little weak. Today he is so angry because of his heart attack. There are no other serious problems. Wait for your majesty to administer the acupuncture, and drink the decoction after waking up."

Just as Zhao Zongning was about to speak, Zhao Shiqi said first: "Are you still going to give needles?!" His expression became darker involuntarily.

Doctor Bai did not dare to wipe his sweat, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is important to drink the medicine, you must wake up first."

"Then hurry up!" Zhao Zongning finally seized the opportunity to speak.

"Yes, yes, yes! Princess!" After saying that, Doctor Bai got up, washed his hands, and went forward to give the needle.

In this way, Zhao Shiqi was willing to get up from the bed and give up his seat to Doctor Bai.Although he got up, he still stared at Zhao Cong who was lying on the bed.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, after all, people are seen under the moon and under the lamp. It is actually different from seeing people face to face like this.Five years ago, Zhao Cong was 16 years old, and his appearance was fixed. Many years later, Zhao Cong's face is actually not much different from the past, even his pale complexion during illness is the same as before.

But Zhao Shiqi knew that something had changed after all.

How Zhao Cong became emperor in the past five years is well known in the world, although he is in Hangzhou, he cannot witness it with his own eyes.But he can also read the mansion newspaper and listen to people's words. Zhao Cong is already the emperor, and he is the real emperor.Zhao Cong has wisdom and strategy. If it hadn't been for the locust disaster, Da Song would be even better now.

But even if the locust plague, Zhao Cong can handle it so well, even he admires it.

At the beginning, many scholars praised the official family in the palace. They praised him for having ordered ponds to be dug in Kaifeng Mansion and the east of Jingdong area to plant a variety of green plants when he first came into power.It can be seen that Zhao Cong has already considered this point.Apart from dealing with the locust plague, Zhao Cong has really done a lot over the years.

It is said that even Xixia's prince came to please him. Last year, Da Song signed a new treaty with Xixia.This new treaty was negotiated by Zhao Cong himself with the envoy.Today, [-]% of the horses in the Song Dynasty come from Xixia, and Zhao Cong ordered that the newly transported horses should not be dispatched to the army in a hurry, but should all be returned to the Hezhong area. Then distribute slowly.

Now Xie Wenrui is on Yongxing Army Road and is in charge of this matter.

Everyone knows that whether the horses of Xixia or the Liao Kingdom are good, they seem to change as soon as they arrive in the Song Dynasty.

In fact, in his previous life, he had already thought about the problem of acclimatization, but he was in a hurry at that time, and there was no time to take such a move.Today is still a peaceful time, but Zhao Cong can do this without anyone teaching him, Zhao Shiqi admires it very much.

Moreover, the people of Xixia and Liao are very smart, and the horses they send are always inferior.

Although Zhao Shiqi couldn't see it, he believed that according to Zhao Cong's ability, the horses sent by Xixia must no longer be inferior breeds.

In addition to horses, if you talk about salt, you can say a lot.Sometimes Zhao Shiqi couldn't help thinking, how did Zhao Cong come up with so many methods in his mind?It is absolutely impossible to be taught by Zhao Zongning, Zhao Zongning is far inferior to him.

The more he thought about it, the more he understood that they were all deceived by Zhao Cong.

It is also true, Zhao Cong no longer needs him, Zhao Cong himself is strong enough, he feels more and more that there is no need to come back.Besides, Zhao Cong is actually so smart, he really doesn't know how to get rid of so many lies.Thinking of the dreams he had often had in the past five years, his brows became more and more tightly frowned.

"Princess, Xiaolang—" Doctor Bai applied the needle, turned around, saw the way Zhao Zongning looked at him, did not dare to call out, and said, "Your Majesty has administered the needle for His Majesty, and His Majesty will wake up in half an hour. .”

Zhao Zongning nodded and waved: "Go down, wait outside, I will call you if there is anything to do."

Doctor Bai saluted and led the people out.Zhao Zongning looked at Rantao again: "Sister, you guys go down too."

Rantao looked at Zhao Shiqi worriedly, but Zhao Shiqi still stared at Zhao Cong, as if he had never heard of it, Zhao Zongning sneered.Rantao saluted at the end, and pulled Fulu out together.

In this way, there were only three of them in the inner room.

Zhao Zongning took out the whip from his sleeve, weighed it a few times, walked around Zhao Shiqi, and said with a smile, "Who is this gentleman?"

Zhao Shiqi still stared at Zhao Cong without speaking.

Zhao Zongning let out a "hum" and laughed again: "It looks very familiar."

Zhao Shiqi turned to look at her, expressionless: "It's me."

On the contrary, Zhao Zongning was choked by him, and immediately sneered: "Resurrected from the dead?" Zhao Zongning's doubts about Zhao Shiqi had really disappeared long ago, and she really thought that Zhao Shiqi had already died.But a person who died a long time ago suddenly appeared in front of you openly, or at such a time, how could Zhao Zongning not doubt it?

She is now full of doubts about everything about Zhao Shiqi.

Where has Zhao Shiqi been for the past five years?Was he murdered back then, or what?Why did Zhao Shiqi come back again?Why do you know the things in the palace so clearly?

She didn't know until King Dehui told him that, even so, she was the first person besides the second brother to know that his brother was vomiting blood and fainted!

But even faster than Zhao Shiqi!

This man is full of mysteries!

He suddenly appeared, what exactly did he want to do? !

Zhao Zongning's eyes were also full of gloom, staring at him in front of him.

Zhao Shiqi suddenly calmed down. When he walked into the palace gate, he had already made plans, and it was inevitable that he would be suspected.These are all voluntary by him, but he doesn't care what other people are like, as long as he is responsible to Zhao Cong, as long as Zhao Cong is willing to believe him, he has his own words to explain to Zhao Cong.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Zongning became even angrier: "I will definitely beat up the person who let you in today! You are weird everywhere, you are really not a kind person!"

"You and I insist on arguing when he is sick?" Zhao Shiqi was helpless.

Zhao Zongning was even angrier. He said that when his brother fell into the water, and now he is here to teach her a lesson!

Why is she arguing?Not because of him!She raised her brows and wanted to speak again, but Che Xia whispered outside: "Princess—"

"What's the matter?" She turned back.

Che Xia walked in, looked at Zhao Shiqi with some hesitation, and didn't say anything.

Zhao Zongning waved his hand: "Say it!"

It's also strange, although she hates Zhao Shiqi, but until now, unconsciously, she has not regarded him as an outsider.She might not be able to feel it herself, but Zhao Shiqi could see it, and couldn't help but glance at her again.

"Princess, the Sun family has accepted the order of the queen mother and is making trouble!"

"How to make trouble?" Zhao Zongning sneered.

"It must be said that the marriage was given by the Queen Mother, and we have to bring the betrothal gift to our princess mansion!" Che Xia was furious, and she gritted her teeth when she said it.

Zhao Zongning laughed as if hearing a big joke.

Zhao Shiqi said at this time: "Nowadays, everything can resemble swan meat."

"That's still human!" Zhao Zongning glared at him and put away the whip. "I'll deal with those idiots of the Sun family first. I'll keep your account and settle it slowly. Brother will wake up in half an hour. If I don't come back in time, don't you tell brother about my going to vent my anger."

"I know it myself."

"Hmph! Think about how to tell your brother first!"

After Zhao Zongning finished speaking, he walked out of the inner room gracefully.

It's not that she let Zhao Shiqi go, it's just that things always have a priority, and the Sun family is really an eyesore.She wasn't afraid that someone would force her, but she was very annoyed.After all, she is a princess, even if she doesn't care about what others say, such embarrassing news will always make her angry and embarrass her brother.And how could her name be mentioned together with that scum of the Sun family?

What's more, the Sun family even made their elder brother angry like this.

She will always solve the mysteries of Zhao Shiqi one by one.

Since he has the courage to come back, he has to accept her skinning.

This time, no matter how much her brother stopped her, she would not obey!What's more, the elder brother today is no longer the elder brother of the past. Let's see how Zhao Shiqi explains it!

When the officials outside saw her coming out, they got up and saluted one after another: "I have seen the princess!"

Just now she came in a hurry, and she didn't greet these officials, but now she said "get up", and she was about to leave in a hurry.But when she looked away, she caught sight of a strange figure, and she said, "Who is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Yi Yu paused, stood up and bowed and said, "Princess, I'm your next official, Yi Yu."

Zhao Zongning thought about it, and it turned out that he was the No. [-] man who was sent to Yangzhou by his brother three years ago, and he was even the one she called "insidious".Three years ago, she hadn't reached Ji, and she hadn't participated in political affairs. When she got involved, this person had already left.Therefore, she never saw him.

It is said that he is very handsome.

Zhao Zongning likes good colors, so he said: "You look up, my princess has a look."

Yi Yu raised his head and looked at her generously.

Zhao Zongning said: "Zhuangyuan Lang is really handsome." After speaking, she strode out.

Others looked at Yi Yu strangely.After all, everyone knows that when Princess Baoning was 13 years old, she was always talking about raising her face.Although the princess is not yet married, she really likes men with good looks. She even has a troupe in her mansion.

Now the princess praises Mr. Yi handsome in person, this...

Yi Yu was very calm, he had heard that the princess liked to pretend to be a man, and today he finally got to see her.It's just that the princess didn't look similar to His Majesty, even very different.

When Zhao Zongning came, he entered through the Xihua Gate, so he didn't meet Qian Yuemo.At this time, he hurried all the way outside the palace, but bumped into her.

When Qian Yuemo saw her, she immediately called her anxiously: "Princess!"

Zhao Zongning had already passed by, turned to look at her: "Ms. Concubine Shu? What's the matter?"

Qian Yue murmured silently, then whispered: "Sun..."

Zhao Zongning smiled: "You also know?"

"Princess! What should I do!" Qian Yuemo immediately stepped forward, raised her head and asked anxiously.

"What should I do? What is the Empress Dowager Sun? I have already torn up that paper! Only my brother and I can make decisions about this princess's marriage!"

Qian Yuemo has followed the rules for many years, and now she is a little dumbfounded to hear what Zhao Zongning said. It turns out that the Queen Mother's order can be torn up?

Zhao Zongning doesn't go to the harem much now, and he doesn't always see Qian Yuemo.Seeing Qian Yuemo caring about her so much today, it was rare to show a smile at this time: "Thank you, Concubine Shu, for your concern."

Qian Yuemo blushed: "No, no..."

"Alas." She sighed again, "Go to Chongzheng Hall quickly, my brother has already given the needle and he will wake up in half an hour. I can't trust others, but I only trust you. I'll come back after I've dealt with the affairs outside the palace."

"Okay!" Qian Yuemo nodded.

Zhao Zongning twitched the corners of his mouth, turned and left, and Che Xia followed her, putting a big cloak on her body.The figures of the two gradually disappeared.

Piaoshu said softly: "I've heard that the princess likes to pretend to be a son-in-law, but I finally got to see it today. It's really beautiful."

Qian Yuemo nodded, and squinted her eyes for a while, until she could no longer see Zhao Zongning's figure, then she turned and went to Chongzheng Hall.

She was just about to enter the gate of Chongzheng Hall when Fu Lu was coming out, saw her, and saluted her: "I have seen my lady."

"Get up, where are you going?"

"Xiaolang Jundao, Your Majesty is connected with all the people, and it is really a matter of mobilizing the whole body. Now that the Queen Mother is so angry with our Majesty, it is ashamed of all the people and the world. We have to come here to apologize to His Majesty, and we have to go to the Xuande Tower to tell the big brother." Song Wanmin apologizes."

"..." Qian Yue was silent, this was indeed something that little man could say.

Fu Lu didn't dare to delay: "Lady, I'm going now, and Mr. Xiao Lang is looking for you, so go in quickly."

"You go quickly."

"Yes." Fu Lu took the little eunuch behind him and turned to the right.

Qian Yuemo suddenly felt unreal.

It seemed like time went back to a point five years ago, and it seemed that five years hadn't been any different.

Five years ago, it was this little man who knocked Empress Dowager Sun out of anger and killed people in her palace.Now it is also him who speaks out such great truths and draws out such words that no one can think of.

This little man didn't do anything, just this one sentence seemed to announce to everyone: he's back.

Qian Yuemo sighed, but he didn't know if His Majesty could be like five years ago, even if he didn't smile, he would be like the spring breeze. heart.

In fact, she really missed His Majesty five years ago.

In the past five years, it has not been easy for His Majesty. After all, the princess is her daughter's family, and there are some things that cannot be done by herself.Someone must come to help His Majesty.

She collected her thoughts and walked into the Chongzheng Hall.
