Whose cub am I pregnant with?

On the second day, Li Chisu really entered the palace.What Zhao Qi didn't expect was that he was accompanied by the long-awaited protagonist of the original book——Zhao Tong.

It is said that Zhao Tong arrived in the capital early this morning, and went straight into the palace without even drinking his saliva. He ran into Li Chisu at the gate of the palace, and the two of them begged for an interview together.

After Xiao Shiqing heard about it, he pointed out: "It's really a coincidence that they met."

Zhao Qi asked: "The prime minister's brother means that they got together on purpose?"

Xiao Shiqing: "Duke Huai was probably worried that you and the Queen Mother would make things difficult for him if he entered the palace alone, so he waited for King Zhaonan to enter the palace together. With King Zhaonan around, your attention to him is naturally limited."

This is indeed like Zhao Tong's style of doing things, think twice before acting, step by step and count three times.

An eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister. King Huai and King Zhaonan are paying their respects to the Empress Dowager at the Ci'an Palace. The Empress Dowager is going to hold a banquet in Ci'an Palace to cleanse the two princes. Please invite the Emperor and the Prime Minister to attend the banquet together."

Xiao Shiqing pushed Zhao Qi's back with his hands, "Let's go."

"Brother Prime Minister, let's go first," Zhao Xi said, "I still have something to do."

"what's up?"

Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed, "Brother forgot, Li Chisu met me in Chunfeng Pavilion."

Xiao Shiqing: "..."

"Although there are some differences before and after I put on makeup, it's better to disguise it just in case."

Xiao Shiqing looked at him, "How do you want to pretend?"

In Ci'an Palace, Li Chisu presented the gift he brought from Nanzhou to Empress Dowager Wen—ten pots of peonies with rare colors and unique shapes.

"The color of this flower is really pretty," Empress Dowager Wen said with a smile, "It's so colorful. The Ai family has never seen a bean-green peony before."

Li Chisu said with a smile: "I heard from my father that the Queen Mother likes to arrange flowers and plants in her spare time, so it took several years to find these ten pots of peonies."

Empress Dowager Wen nodded: "King Zhaonan is bothering you."

When the two were talking, Zhao Tong stood quietly on the side, always with a generous and decent smile on his face.

Yunxiu stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor and the prime minister are here."

Empress Dowager Wen looked at Li Chisu: "It can be regarded as waiting for them."

Zhao Xi walked into the hall, and saw two men standing behind Empress Dowager Wen—one was Li Chisu whom he had seen before, wearing the dark green dragon robe on him did not show solemnity and abstinence, on the contrary, it was full of coquettishness, The other is Zhao Qi's old enemy, Zhao Tong.

As the protagonist of the original book, Zhao Tong's appearance must be online. His facial features are handsome, gentle and elegant, which makes people feel good. No wonder he can conquer so many people's hearts.

Zhao Tong and Li Chisu both knelt down to salute, Zhao Xi sullenly said, "Get up."

"Your Majesty..." Empress Dowager Wen stared at Zhao Qi's face, "Why did you suddenly grow a beard?"

Xiao Shiqing laughed very lightly.Zhao Qi raised his hand and touched the beard that had just been pasted on, "I think this is more masculine."

Empress Dowager Wen looked extremely bewildered, "But when you came to pay your respects to Ai's family yesterday..."

Zhao Qi quickly changed the subject: "Hey, where did these flowers come from, and there is also a pot of vegetables - are you going to fry them at the banquet later?"

Empress Dowager Wen couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, this is a peony flower."

"Ah?" Zhao Qi couldn't believe it, "There are green flowers."

Li Chisu curved his lips into a smile, and while looking at Zhao Qi, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.This should be the first time he saw the grown-up emperor, but why did he have an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Don't look at the two beards, the young emperor looks very handsome and pleasant, and his complexion is fair that can only be raised by being pampered all year round; in addition to the beard, he also looks quite eccentric.

All in all, the emperor is a little beauty.And as long as it is a beauty, he can remember the face.

Seeing Li Chisu staring at Zhao Qi without blinking, Xiao Shiqing said: "I heard that King Zhaonan has read all the beauties in the world. I don't know which one is better, the beauties in the capital or the beauties in Nanzhou?"

Li Chisu looked away from Zhao Qi, "Naturally, each has its own advantages. The girls in Nanzhou are lively and lively, while the girls in Beijing are gentle and considerate. This king likes them both." At the end, he said: "Speaking of which , this king has also heard that Xiao Xiang is extremely handsome, unspeakably expensive, and he is the most beautiful man in Dajing. I am honored to meet you today, and he is really extraordinary, which makes people feel ashamed."

Xiao Shiqing had a half smile but not a smile: "Each to each other."

Zhao Qi covered his mouth and smiled secretly, business bragging can be seen at any time.

Zhao Tong looked at Xiao Shiqing, with some hesitation in his eyes, "Is the prime minister doing well this year?"

Xiao Shiqing said casually: "Okay."

Zhao Tong smiled warmly, "Then the king will feel at ease."

"Why does King Huai only ask if the prime minister is doing well, but not me?" Zhao Qi said jokingly, "Could it be that the prime minister is more important to you than me?"

Zhao Tong lowered his eyes, "My brother dare not. My brother is always wishing Sheng'an from afar in the northern border."

There is nothing wrong with this answer.But Zhao Xi knew very well in his heart that Zhao Tong always hoped that he would cool down sooner in the fiefdom.

Empress Dowager Wen said: "Since everyone is here, let's have a banquet. They are all from our own family, so there is no need to be formal, just treat it as an ordinary family banquet."

On the surface, this "family banquet" was a feast for the guests and the host.As Xiao Shiqing said, with Li Chisu around, Empress Dowager Wen would not focus on Zhao Tong.Although Zhao Tong is in the banquet, he looks like a transparent person, which is also the effect he wants.

During the banquet, Empress Dowager Wen mentioned the marriage between Emperor Gaozu and the old King Zhaonan, jokingly said: "King Zhaonan is not very old, but his seniority is not young. If you are serious, the emperor will call you 'Uncle'." "

Zhao Qi choked on the wine, "Mother!"

Li Chisu found Zhao Qi's reaction quite interesting, and said: "If you can hear the emperor call me 'Uncle', I will die without regret."

Xiao Shiqing said lightly: "The emperor is the son of heaven, no matter who you are with, you can only have the courtesy of a monarch and a minister."

Zhao Qi resisted the desire to roll his eyes.Xiao Shiqing was a little grateful for helping him speak, but who was the person who forced him to call him brother, who actually had the nerve to say something about the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers? Life is endless and double standards are endless.

Li Chisu drank a glass of wine, the drunkenness in his eyes was real or not, "Will the prime minister abide by the etiquette of a gentleman to the emperor?"

Even Zhao Qi could hear that these words were alluding to Xiao Shiqing's arrogance, let alone other people at the banquet.

Xiao Shiqing's expression was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and he asked, "What does King Zhaonan think?"

Li Chisu smiled, "This king has been fiefdom in Nanzhou all year round, how could he know about the prime minister and the emperor?"

"Since King Zhaonan knows that this is a matter between me and the emperor, why bother?"

It was obviously the first time for the two to meet, but they seemed to be at odds with each other, and every word they said had a deep meaning, which made Zhao Xi feel a little tired, as if watching a Gongdou drama.

Empress Dowager Wen put down her silver chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Okay, what are you talking about. King Zhaonan, Ai Jia remembers that you also have 26 seven?"

Zhao Qi sat up straight.According to the usual practice, as long as Empress Dowager Wen mentions her age, nine times out of ten she will continue to urge her to marry.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, I'm seven out of twenty this year."

"You're not young anymore. At your age, other princes and nobles have already had children, but you don't even have a proper princess."

Li Chisu came prepared, and followed Empress Dowager Wen's words: "I have never met someone I like, and this has been delayed until now. However, just a few days ago, I finally met the person I like..."

Seeing that Li Chisu really wanted to ask for a marriage, Zhao Qi hurriedly interrupted: "Prince Huai!"

Zhao Tong didn't know why he was suddenly mentioned, "Your Majesty?"

"I heard that the northern region is extremely cold, and it snows half of the year. You have been there for so long, how are you?"

Zhao Tong said: "Go back to the emperor, my brother is very good."

Empress Dowager Wen asked, "Has your disease progressed?"

In the early years, in order to survive from Emperor Dog and Queen Mother Wen, Zhao Tong claimed that he had incapacity. Many people knew about this, but only Zhao Xi knew that he was lying.

Zhao Tong lowered his head, "Going back to the Queen Mother, it's still the same."

"Really," Empress Dowager Wen smiled inexplicably, "Let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you tomorrow."

Zhao Tong said with restraint: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"However, you can't force this matter. It's not harmful to your life after all, so don't worry too much about it." The son's immobility disease recovered, and Empress Dowager Wen didn't feel back pain while standing and talking, "What did I just say, oh, King Zhaonan Princess..."

Zhao Qi interjected again: "King Zhaonan, I offer you a toast. You have worked so hard to bring vegetables and flowers to your mother from Nanzhou."

Li Chisu looked at the little emperor's crooked beard, and said with a smile, "It should be the minister's respect for the emperor."

Xiao Shiqing also poured a glass of wine himself, and called the eunuch standing aside, "Give the wine to the emperor, and say that I will respect him."

The eunuch did as he said, Zhao Xi didn't think much, took a sip from the wine glass.Empress Dowager Wen, who was sitting beside him, changed her face slightly when she saw this - the wine glass was used by Xiao Shiqing.

Empress Dowager Wen had no intention of asking about Li Chisu's marriage, and Li Chisu didn't mention it again. Zhao Qi was temporarily relieved.

After the banquet, several people went back to their respective homes and looked for their respective mothers.

A servant and eunuch led Zhao Tong to the outside of the palace, but Zhao Tong suddenly stopped and said, "Eunuch."

"My lord?"

"Father-in-law, I want to go to Changxi Palace to get a relic of my concubine mother." Zhao Tong handed a heavy silver ingot to the eunuch, "Please be accommodating, father-in-law."

The eunuch wondered: "My lord, it's so late, we are in the harem now."

Zhao Tong added another silver ingot, and said with a smile: "Just take one thing, it will be very fast."

Two silver ingots are enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime. The eunuch could not resist the temptation and said: "Then hurry up."

"Will do."

Zhao Tong grew up in the palace. Even after leaving for a year, he still knew the way in the palace well, and soon arrived at the place he wanted to go.

In the shadow of the moonlight, a person stood by the window, with long ink-like hair and snow-like clothes.Zhao Tong blurted out the man's name: "Rong Tang!"

Rong Tang paused for a moment, then turned around slowly, "Your Majesty?"

The moment their eyes met, both of them froze.Zhao Tong said: "What are you calling me?"

"I thought it was..." Rong Tang paused, but didn't continue.On the Longevity Day, the vassal kings from all over the country will return to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday. He knows that Zhao Tong will return to Beijing, and he also guesses that he will find a way to see him. "My lord, you are back."

"Yes, I'm back." Zhao Tong looked at Rong Tang intently, "You have suffered this year."

Rong Tang looked at him quietly, without speaking.

"I don't have time to talk to you now." Zhao Tong spoke quickly, "But you have to trust me, I'm trying to save you."

"Has the prince thought of it?"

Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment, and said: "I thought about it." In his imagination, after the two met, although Rong Tang would not lose control, he would definitely be moved.But now Rong Tang is too calm, so calm that he is not sure whether to tell Rong Tang his big plan.

Rong Tang asked: "What is it?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while, and said tactfully: "Rong Tang, Zhao Qi loves you to the bottom of his heart, and he will not let go. As long as he sits on the dragon chair, you will always be his prisoner."

"Ah."

Zhao Tong thought he had already explained it very clearly, it is impossible for someone as smart as Rong Tang not to understand. "Then what do you think?"

Rong Tang looked over Zhao Tong's shoulder and landed on the window sill.

Not long ago, Zhao Qi put a peach blossom in perfect bloom there.

Rong Tang didn't respond for a long time, Zhao Tong became a little anxious: "Rong Tang, are you willing to help me?"

Rong Tang withdrew his gaze, "If your solution is to usurp power, then I will."

Zhao Tong couldn't hide his excitement, "I knew it..."

"—willing to be his prisoner."

Zhao Tong widened his eyes and looked at Rong Tang in disbelief.

Hiding in the corner, Zhao Qi, who heard everything clearly, was so moved that he wanted to cry.

Listen, listen quickly!Rong Damei doesn't want his life! ! !His little peach blossoms, little peaches, and little candied fruit are not free!

Please wait, I will let you out of the palace tomorrow!
