Qi Le closed his eyes and meditated in the scent, and when he heard the footsteps of his maidservant, he said lazily, "Going away?"

"My servant watched Lan Shifu go away." Rulu knelt beside her and gently massaged her calf.

Qi Le let out a disdainful snort from his nasal cavity: "There are idiots with evil intentions but no courage."

Rulu laughed and said, "Lady, not everyone like you is the only one who is favored by His Majesty. He has the confidence... Mrs. Lan, she is just afraid of things happening."

"So I took her here as she wished." Qi Le's tone became more and more lax, and she moved her fingers slightly. Rulu withdrew her hand and stopped the massage, "Look at her secretly happy appearance, my lord I'm too lazy to poke it, I just think of her as a plaything."

She nodded slightly with the hand supporting her forehead, pondered for a moment and said: "On New Year's Eve, when the courtiers pay homage to the great sacrifice, all the wives will bring their children to Chaoyang Pavilion to watch the ceremony, and Zhao Chen's son will be alone. Find out who is in charge of leading the way. The maidservant under the female officer indirectly bribed one of them, and led the boy to the rocks on the other side of the Chaoyang Pavilion..."

If you don't change your face when you show up, just nod your head lightly, and you're done.

Concubine Qi thought slowly, Fan Lan offered her a plan, not only took revenge on Zhao Chen and hurt his vitality, but also Fan Lan had to accept her love afterwards... Originally, she wanted Yu'er to follow Zhao Chen's path, but now she sees Come on, it would be great if Fan Lin could pull him over.

"Lady, Xiao Lang asks to see you." Ruzhu lifted the curtain to report, but Young Master Yu had already strode in.He was thirteen years old, and he inherited the good genes of the son of the Zhao family. He was tall and slender, with handsome features, and he already looked like a gentleman at a young age.

"Auntie!" Zhao Yu happily called out to Qi Bin, and sat cross-legged in front of her, "How are you today?"

Qi Pin's movements did not change, but her expression softened in an instant, from the eyes to the corners of the mouth.She looked at her son carefully, and said softly for a moment: "I've always been fine...but what happened to make Yu'er so happy?"

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to her with a very confident expression: "My son is going to school today, and my master asked about people's livelihood, and my son's answer is very satisfactory. Ah Weng promises to come to the court to observe politics in the future!"

"Really?" Qi Pin sat up abruptly, raised his son's face with one hand, and asked him excitedly, "Your father really said that?"

Zhao Yu stepped forward and hugged his mother vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Ah Weng really said that! He also said that his son is worthy of a great job!"

"Okay, okay! This is my good son!" Qi Pin was full of satisfaction, "Among all the princes, you are the first one, which shows how satisfied your father-in-law is with you."

As Zhao Mian's bedside person for many years, she knows Zhao Mian's temperament very well.That man is strict and self-disciplined, he has high demands on himself, and even higher demands on his son, so he won't get a word of praise from him.What's more, that person has a paranoid personality and a strong desire for power. She dared to say anything in front of Zhao Mian, except that she dared not test his thoughts about the prince.

Now that Zhao Mian let her son face the court, he must be very satisfied with Yu'er in his heart.

Qi Pin slowly calmed down, pushed his son away and let him sit down.At this moment, she hesitated again. The situation is so good, is it necessary to cause trouble at this time?

"Auntie? What are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

Concubine Qi came back to her senses, seeing her son in high spirits, looking forward to his godlike appearance, she smiled kindly: "Mother is just thinking, you are thirteen this year, and since you have entered the imperial court, even if you are an adult, you should worry about the important things in your life." It's not unreasonable for people to say that it's not unreasonable to start a family and start a career. Only when a man has a family and a family can he be considered stable and reliable in the eyes of others...

Zhao Yu couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable: "Auntie, it's too early, I never thought about it."

Compared with any wife, he would rather read and hunt with his companions, free and unrestrained.

Qi Pin's face darkened, she looked at him sternly and reprimanded: "Why, do you still want to continue playing? Do you think that you can represent everything if you are in charge of the court? Your father will let you be the heir apparent?"

"Zhao Yu, if you want to be the crown prince, you must pay attention to your words and deeds now, and become what the courtiers want the crown prince to be! Only by marrying a wife and having children can you prove that you are no longer a child, but a man! Those companions of yours You can't play with you forever, their family sent them here, is it for this?"

Zhao Yu has been used to her mother's strictness since she was a child. Seeing that her attitude returned to normal, although she was a little frustrated, she quickly corrected her expression and listened.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi was satisfied, and her tone softened a bit: "...your companions are all good, you also have to learn to plan for their future, so that they can keep going up with you - so that they will not be in vain Loyalty to you. This is the way of the superior."

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "What what Auntie said is true, I understand."

Qi Pin nodded in satisfaction.

Her son is her greatest pride.Even though she was born in the most noble and wealthy family, Yu'er is still neither arrogant nor impatient, smart and eager to learn, and has a sincere heart. It is precisely because Zhao Mian loves his honest character that he values ​​him so much.In other words, anyone who is as deep-minded as the monarch or her will be involuntarily attracted to people like Yu'er.

So...why did Zhao Chen reject her?

How can you look down on her son?

The day before New Year's Eve, as soon as classes were suspended, Yuan Jue and Zhen Cheng followed the cars from their respective grandfathers' homes to Xian County.Zhao Yuan sent his little friend away, and at four o'clock the next day, he was hugged by a certain father to take a bath, and he changed into a dress and got on the car in a daze.

Before the car drove into the Qilin Bridge, there was a long queue.

Zhao Yuan went to bed early the night before, and now he was awake, so he lifted the car door to have a look.The sky was gloomy, but because of the meeting on New Year's Eve today, the copper lamps on the pillars on both sides of Yumen Street were lit up, and there were lights hanging on the front and back of each carriage, so the surroundings were brightly lit.

"Put down the blanket, be careful of catching a cold!" Zhao Chen slipped his son back, held him in his arms and stuffed him with food, "We won't be able to eat until noon. If you don't eat now, you will have to cook for four time."

Zhao Yuan grabbed a certain father's big hand with his claws: "Oh! What is this!"

"Vegetable dumpling," Zhao Chen's eyes flashed, and he stuffed his fingers into his son's mouth forcefully, "Try it, it's delicious."

"Sicai!" Zhao Yuan wanted to spit it out, gave his father a stare, and swallowed it slowly with a bitter face.There are so many delicious dim sum, why bring wombat dumplings?He hates eating Chinese cabbage!

Zhao Chen unhurriedly ate one by himself, and stuffed another one for Zhao Yuan.

"Doctor Qin said that cooking with cabbage can cure children's cough and phlegm. You are greedy for cold and refuse to take medicine. As a father, you can only come up with this bad policy."

Zhao Yuan was so choked by the dumpling that he quickly pulled out the clay bottle and took a mouthful of pear water.

It took a quarter of an hour for the car to start moving slowly. At almost five o'clock, the car passed the Qilin Bridge, and the Xuanmen slowly opened.When passing Xuanmen, the Zhao family's car stopped for a moment, Zhao Chen slightly lifted the car window felt, and outside a man dressed as a Jinwu Guard stood by the car window, bowing towards him: "General."

Zhao Chen glanced up and down, and asked casually, "Your people are on duty this morning?"

The man's voice was very respectful: "It's the humble who leads the guards." His eyes glanced at Zhao Yuan who poked his head out of curiosity, and there was a slight smile in his voice, "The humble has met the young master."

drink!Zhao Yuan was startled, and hurriedly retracted his head.

The two chatted for a few moments, the man backed away, and the Zhao family's car continued to move forward, and soon came to the square in front of the palace gate.

"Father, who is that man?"

Zhao Chen was thoughtful, and answered him: "Zuo Jinwu Cui Lingshi, Qinghe Cui's eldest grandson."

The Cui family of Qinghe is one of the five great noble clans in the world, there are countless literati and celebrities, people in the world don't know about Zhao, so they must know about the Cui family of Qinghe.As a child of the Cui family, he has always occupied the most noble position in Zhao Tingli, and as the eldest grandson of the chief house, he actually became a Jinwu guard?Zhao Yuan didn't have any common sense anymore, so he felt a little strange.

"Don't guess, the Cui family is different from other families, they have always allowed their children to develop freely." Zhao Chen patted his little head, and handed him a vegetable dumpling, "There is one left, don't waste it."

Zhao Yuan took a bite and sneered at a certain father with squinting eyes: "Father obviously doesn't like it either!"

At 05:30, everyone finally entered the palace gate.

Zhao Yuan held Zhao Chen's thumb tightly and ran in small steps in order to keep up with the adults.Surrounded by black dresses, the wives are fine, the satin is embroidered with large patterns and gorgeous borders, plus gorgeous headdresses, the men are basically in pitch black.

The civil servants lined up in twos, occasionally whispering to each other.The military commander basically strode forward without looking sideways.Zhao Yuan saw many boys and girls who were older than him, all standing solemnly with their mothers in the line on the right side, but he was the only one who was standing with his father on the side of the courtiers. What to say.

"Anu, after a while you will go to the Chaoyang Pavilion with the aunt of the uncle's family in Shen County. Remember that you can't wander around in the palace and follow the aunt closely. Can you do it?"

Zhao Yuan nodded nervously: "I see!"

Everyone walks to the square in front of the hall, the courtiers enter the court, and the wives and children are ordered to enter the inner palace on the right.

"Xiao Yuanlang, you just took your younger brother's hand and followed Auntie." Shen Hua's wife Mi Shi was delicate and soft, stroking Zhao Yuan's forehead and told him.

Zhao Yuan thanked her solemnly, looked at the boy who was a few months younger than him beside him, and carefully took the boy's soft paws. "Just call me brother, let's go together. Hold my hand tightly."

"Brother!" Shen Kun's voice was still a little milky, and he clenched his hands obediently.

Several palace maids in front led them through the vertical flower gate and entered the inner palace. There was almost no trace of heavy snow in the inner palace. They walked slowly along the clean road to Chaoyang Pavilion.

"The roads in this palace are really complicated. I haven't remembered how to get to Chaoyang Pavilion after years." A married woman led a little girl and walked beside Mi Shi, whispering to her.

Mi said with a smile: "No, it's the first time my family Akun came here. Before going out, my husband reminded me thousands of times, lest I lose the child..."

"Be careful, there was a child who heard about it the year before last..."

Zhao Yuan listened to the women's gossip in boredom, and Xiao Douding next to him blushed and shook his tightly clenched little hand, which made him feel a little fresh.
