The Way of the Consort

After dawn, the second prince Liu Cang came again, which neither he nor Zong Zhen expected.

Liu Cang came here because he wanted to invite Ji Zhao into the palace, but Ji Zhao was startled and explained, "I'm not feeling well, this—"

"I know, it's just that after I left yesterday, Qingyang came again, and the father also knew about it, and was about to reprimand her, but the father also felt a little sorry for the son-in-law. The son-in-law is a guest, so the father wanted to invite the son-in-law to come in." Gong, ask Qing Yang to apologize to the son-in-law in person."

"It's really unnecessary."

"You don't need to worry about the son-in-law. I see that the son-in-law is getting better, and the emperor doesn't care about these things. He has long wanted to see you."

Originally, Zong Zhen had told him not to agree to what Liu Cang said, but to pretend to be stupid.

At this time, he wanted to agree. Princess Qingyang was shameless, and she tried in vain to ask Zongzhen to stay in Liangguo, so that she could live out her big spring and autumn dream!He went to see the emperor of Liangguo. If the emperor of Liangguo really listened to the princess, he wanted to keep Zongzhen down?After all, Zongzhen is only a bodyguard in name, and it will be difficult to handle at that time.

Besides, he also tried to find a way to wear small shoes for Princess Qingyang. He didn't believe that the second prince didn't think so, but the second prince specifically said that after he left, Princess Qingyang came again. He was also very dissatisfied, right?I'm afraid the second prince also has arrangements?

It is impossible for him to be on the same front with the second prince, or with the people of Liang, but at the very least, he and the second prince have a common enemy at this time.

He agreed and said that he was going to change his clothes and was ready to go.

The second prince waited in the main hall, and he went back to his room to change his dress.

The matter has come to this point, he has already agreed, Zong Zhen wanted to say a few words to him, seeing him changing clothes in silence, after all, he was not willing, stood beside him, watched him change clothes, and said: "I can't go, otherwise it will be easy." If you tell me, Chen Keye can't go either, I'll ask Wu Zhi to go with you, and Hu Wu will go too."

Hu Wu's kung fu is second only to Chen Keye, and is about the same as Du Bo.

Ji Zhao felt warm in his heart, and said "Oh".

"You, alas." Zong Zhen stretched out his hand to help him tie the belt on the crown. Ji Zhao obediently raised his head and let him tie a knot on his chin. Zong Zhen said, "After entering the palace, don't talk too much. Stupid is."

"I know, don't worry!" Ji Zhao had nothing to be afraid of. Could it be that someone would dare to harm him in the palace?

"How can I rest assured?" Zongzhen fastened, called Mr. Wu to come over, told them this and that, and sent them to the front. Before leaving, he said again, "If someone disrespects you, just reprimand him. Even if it is Liu Qian, don't be afraid of him, behind you are my father and me."

"..." Ji Zhao looked up at him with bright eyes, and the two looked at each other.

It wasn't until Master Wu couldn't bear to watch it any longer and began to "cough cough cough", that Ji Zhao followed him with a smile.

Ji Zhao followed the second prince Liu Cang into the palace. Generally speaking, the Liangguo Palace and the Xiguo Palace are quite different, but all palaces pay attention to grandeur, grace and symmetry, and the main halls are all on the central axis. It revealed a few traces of elegance, while the Liangguo Palace was more rough. Liu Cang was quite interesting, and he explained to Ji Zhao on the way, telling him where is where, and soon they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the Zichen Palace. .

Before Ji Zhao came, Emperor Liu Gang of Liang Kingdom had just finished speaking with Princess Qingyang.

Princess Qingyang wanted a bodyguard for the son-in-law of the state of Xi, although Liu Qian felt that something was wrong, but his precious daughter wanted a man, and he was just a bodyguard. gift!

Princess Qingyang left happily, saying that she was waiting for his news, while he was waiting for the son-in-law of Xi Kingdom to arrive.

As the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, Liu Gan looked down on the Xi Kingdom in his bones, let alone Zong Yue, the emperor of the Xi Kingdom.If there is enough food for soldiers and horses, he would like to go to Jinling City now, but he still needs to cultivate his life and rest, so he can see and see the son-in-law of Xi Kingdom, if it is not mentioned by his son and daughter, and Qing Yang three It's wrong to run to the Hanxi Pavilion every day, or to find a mere guard, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting here.

However, after the eunuch reported, when the son-in-law of the Xi Kingdom came in with Liu Cang, he raised his head casually, and then froze on the dragon seat.

After Ji Zhao came in, he followed Liu Cang to bow to the Emperor Liang, but he didn't see him calling for a long time.

After waiting for a long time, he had no choice but to raise his eyes quietly, and saw the Emperor of Liang Guo looking straight at him, he was a little dumbfounded, what's wrong?

"Father..." Liu Cang said, "My son-in-law is here with his son-in-law."

Only then did Liu Gan come back to his senses, and smiled: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Ji Zhao smiled politely at him.

"Give me a seat, give me a seat! Hurry up and move the chairs for the son-in-law and your second master to sit on!"

Soon a little eunuch moved a chair, but Liu Qian was still not satisfied: "Come closer to me!"

Ji Zhao murmured in his heart, so he had to sit with Liu Cang close to him. As for Wu Zhiwu and Hu Wu, they were completely ignored by Liu Gan.Ji Zhao adhered to the principle of pretending to be stupid, only laughed and hardly spoke.

Liu Gan sighed with emotion: "This is a good boy, he doesn't talk much, he is quiet, unlike some of my sons, who are noisy!"

Liu Cang joked at the right time: "Father, do you dislike your son?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Gan laughed loudly. Ji Zhao didn't think it was funny at all, so he just laughed along. Liu Gan looked at him and asked, "Is the son-in-law from Ji's family?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Ji family, I know, the famous protoss!"

Ji Zhao hurriedly said modestly: "It's all just casual talk from the world, I dare not take it as it is."

"Haha! I see that the son-in-law is so handsome and exuding a sense of aura, so I know the legend is true! The son-in-law's surname is Ji, what's his name?"

"Your Majesty, I am famous, but I haven't taken the name yet."

"Zhao, which means light, what a good name!"

"..." Ji Zhao continued to smirk, he felt that the emperor was a little too enthusiastic.

Liu Qian looked at him anxiously and asked again: "Brother Zhao's family is the Yin family, right?"

"..." Brother Zhao is here?Are they that familiar?Ji Zhao kept muttering in his heart, but smiled politely on his face, "Your Majesty, my maternal ancestor's family is indeed the Yin family in Yangzhou."

"The Yin family is also a century-old family!" Liu Gan continued to look at him eagerly, Ji Zhao became more and more uncomfortable, but Liu Gan seemed to be at a loss, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Who is Brother Zhao's mother?"

Although Ji Zhao felt puzzled, he replied, "My mother is no longer alive."

Liu Gan said "Oh" for a long while, and suddenly stopped talking.

Ji Zhao glanced at Liu Cang, completely unaware of what the situation was, Liu Cang had a clue in his mind, and said intentionally, "Father, I heard that Qing Yang came here before, but it's not just to make amends to the son-in-law?"

Liu Qian came back to his senses, and wanted to ask the guard directly, but when he looked up, he saw Ji Zhao's face, which was almost exactly the same as the person in his mind, so he couldn't say those words.But ask his daughter to apologize to others?He was even somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Cang, and took another look at Ji Zhao's face.

After all, he nodded: "Go and ask the princess to come over."

Princess Qingyang came soon, thinking that the matter was done, she was smiling all over her face, but was told that she was asked to come to apologize to Ji Zhao, she immediately slapped her face: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

Liu Cang said: "The son-in-law is a guest, you go to the Hanxi hall every three days, disturb the rest of the son-in-law, and don't pay for the son-in-law."

"I don't want to apologize!" Not only did she not apologize, but she also asked, "Father, do you want to ask for a guard?"

Ji Zhao hurriedly asked, "What guard?!"

He was also a little anxious, turned to look at Liu Gan, Liu Gan looked at his daughter, then at Ji Zhao, and finally said: "Let's discuss this matter..."

Princess Qingyang has been spoiled for a long time. After hearing this, she turned her head and left.

Liu Cang got up to pull her back, but he didn't hold her back. When she came back, she apologized and said, "Your sister is spoiled by us, don't mind my son-in-law."

Ji Zhao came here today for this purpose. He got up, saluted Liu Qian again, and said very politely: "Your Majesty, if the princess is right, that guard is my personal guard, who grew up with me. I am also engaged, please forgive Ji Zhao for not being able to accept this matter. I came to Liang Kingdom this time to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and represent the best wishes from Xi Kingdom to His Majesty. After I leave, I have no intention of leaving anything but these wishes. Down."

This is a bit serious, and it also expresses his bottom line. Liu Qian is a quick-tempered man with a dignified personality, and he is also an emperor. No one has ever dared to talk to him like this, and he can't tolerate these words.

All the people waiting in the hall lowered their heads, Master Wu and the others were also very anxious, only Liu Cang looked calm.

It's just that these words came from Ji Zhao's mouth. Liu Qian was stunned and couldn't get angry. Looking at Ji Zhao's face, he nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry! Qing Yang has been spoiled by me, this matter is She did something wrong! I will ask her to pay you for it!"

With his words, Ji Zhao was completely relieved, and smiled: "Ji Zhao believes in His Majesty, so there is no need to make amends. Ji Zhao does not feel that the princess is offended."

Liu Gan looked dumbfounded again, even the smile was exactly the same.

Liu Cang walked between the two of them in good time, blocked his father's sight, and said worriedly: "Father, Qing Yang is fifteen, but his temper is always like this. Why don't you get married earlier, so you can control your temper."

Liu Gan regained his senses and nodded: "That's right, you call that kid Yuan Zhi into the palace some other day, I have something to tell him."

"Yes……"

Ji Zhao didn't stay long afterwards, seeing that they were talking about Princess Qingyang's marriage, he offered to leave. Liu Cang came out to see him off, and sent Ji Zhao to the gate of the palace.

Before Ji Zhao got into the car, he said with a smile, "Thank you son-in-law for today."

Ji Zhao didn't like to be in charge, and he knew he was being used by Liu Cang, but it didn't matter, everyone used each other, he also laughed: "Ji Zhao can't understand the words of the second prince."

Liu Cang helped him open the curtain of the carriage with his own hands: "It's good that the son-in-law knows what I mean."

Ji Zhao smiled at him, got into the car, and left the Liangguo Palace.

Inside the car, Ji Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and smiled again. No matter what, with the words of Emperor Liang, Zong Zhen no longer needs to be involved in these messes!

Back at the Hanxi Hall, Zongzhen had been waiting for a long time, and before he could ask, Ji Zhao told Zongzhen what he thought was the most important matter, and he smiled and said, "Although I know, it is impossible for her to keep you Yes, it will not be easy to handle at that time, but it will be fine now!"

Zong Zhen pulled him to sit down: "I'm glad to see you, Liangguo Palace is fun, isn't it?"

"It's okay, it's not as exquisite as our palace." Ji Zhao glanced left and right, and then leaned into Zongzhen's ear, "I think their emperor's head is not very good."

"Why do you say that?"

"He was a little dumbfounded when he saw me, his eyes were blank, and he called me brother Zhao, who knows him so well?" Ji Zhao commented, "But he looks quite majestic, not as amiable as our majesty .”

"The Liu family was born as a general, and they value martial arts over culture. It's inevitable."

"No wonder..."

After Ji Zhao finished his report, he was anxious to see his piggy bun, and ran away immediately.

Zong Zhen stayed behind and asked Mr. Wu and Hu Wu alone. Although they were ignored by Liu Qian the whole time, they were always by his side. Mr. Wu nodded: "Yes, Emperor Liang was dumbfounded when he saw our son-in-law. To put it bluntly, it seems that he was bewitched by an evil spirit, and then kept staring at the son-in-law." Master Wu thought carefully, "I feel that his eyes seem to be looking at some old friend."

"Old friend..." Zong Zhen pondered over these two words.

"The strangest thing is that the son-in-law said some unkind words, but he was not angry. His Highness also knew that this Emperor Liang had never had such a temper. Later, the princess Qing Yang almost had a conflict with our son-in-law. , Emperor Liang even exported to help our son-in-law."

Zong Zhen whispered: "It's really weird..."

He explained to Master Wu and Hu Wu: "It's enough for the few of us to know about this matter."

"Yes, rest assured, Your Highness." They withdrew immediately.

Zong Zhen thought about it for a while, and really couldn't think of the reason for this. Before his death in his previous life, Ji Zhao never mentioned this at all.He had no choice but to suppress this matter for the time being, because the immediate matter was more important, Liu Cang obviously couldn't wait, presumably the brothers and sisters of Princess Qingyang couldn't bear it any longer, so he called Chen Keye and sent him to keep an eye on the outer room.

This outer room is sure to die, no matter who did it, he only wants to see the knife edge.

After Chen Keye left, he went to Ji Zhao's house, Chen Xing said that their husband had taken a nap, so he didn't bother.

He turned and went back to his room, Bao Qing slipped over and said next to him, "Your Highness, the son-in-law didn't take a nap at all, and he even called Xiao Quanzi over, I don't know what he is doing in the house."

"Understood..." Zong Zhen paused and turned to look at him, "Stop following the son-in-law from now on."

Bao Qing was wronged: "The little one is not stalking, but just telling the truth to His Highness."

"I know, you go down, I'll read for a while."

"Okay!" Bao Qing said and left, but he didn't leave.

"Is there anything else?" Zong Zhen glanced at him.

"Your Highness, the little one is just thinking, no, your birthday will be in a few days, will the son-in-law secretly prepare a birthday gift for you? Chen Xing asked the little one about your birthday before..."

Zong Zhen was stunned.

When he was born, his mother's body was damaged. After Fuchen was born, his mother's mother hemorrhaged heavily, and he passed away a few years later.Therefore, he and Fu Chen didn't like birthdays very much, and his father didn't like to mention them too much. Every year, birthdays were never made a big deal. They didn't pay much attention inside the palace, and they didn't dare to give gifts outside the palace. At most, they exchanged birthday gifts with their younger sister .

For him, his birthday has never been dispensable.

After Bao Qing stepped back, he picked up the book, but he didn't read a few lines. After all, he left his room.

There is a small flower pond between his and Ji Zhao's house, and few people dare to come here without notifying them. At this time, the courtyard was empty, so he walked around to the back of their house, crossed the flower pond, walked to Ji Zhao's window, and headed over. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little uncomfortable when he did such a thing, but he still put his ears on it and didn't listen to anyone talking.

He walked in again, and looked up to see that the window was only open a small slit, but it was on the top.

He looked back, climbed up a tree behind him, looked inside, and finally saw Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao rolled up his sleeves and was actually kneading the dough... Zong Zhen was dumbfounded, was he kneading the dough?His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never been in the kitchen, and saw Ji Zhao's face covered in flour, but he looked broken, and asked while kneading, "Is this all right?"

It's a pity that Xiao Quanzi shook his head and said: "My son-in-law, it's still early..."

Ji Zhao drooped his shoulders: "When will it be better?"

Xiao Quanzi hurriedly said: "My son-in-law, let the little one come!" Chen Xing helped him wipe the flour off his face, nodded and said: "Yes yes, you rest, Xiao Quanzi is a professional, you let him He kneads the dough first, then you knead the dough!"

Ji Zhao hesitated for a while, shook his head, pulled himself together, and continued kneading: "I agreed to make it myself! Then I have to learn from kneading noodles! Continue!"

Xiao Quanzi instructed him to knead the dough, and he couldn't help feeling: "My son-in-law, you are so kind to our highness!"

Ji Zhao was not modest: "That's right! How kind I am to him! I'm the only one in the world who can do this for him!"

Zong Zhen sat on a tree branch, and when he heard this, he saw Ji Zhao brushing his hair with his hands, and then wiped the flour on his face, mixed with the pride all over his body, he couldn't help laughing.

Ji Zhao is really too precious.
