The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

The carriage left Yujingfang and turned a corner on the street. Zhao Zhang got new news and changed his way to the gate of the palace. When the two of them stood at the gate of the palace, they saw the Queen Mother's team coming into view from a distance.

Zhao Ting secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and stuffed the red envelope in his chest. He hadn't had time to open it, but unfortunately he didn't dare to take it out because of the wrong occasion.

"Cough, let's go, remember to accompany your grandmother well after returning to the palace." Zhao Zhang reminded his nephew, the two looked at each other as if they had done something wrong, and then ended with Zhao Ting weakly agreeing.

When the procession came to the gate of the palace, the maid helped the queen mother and the eldest princess to get off the carriage. Seeing the emperor coming out of the palace to greet her, the queen mother put a smile on her old face, and hurried over to hold the hand of her son and grandson, "It's such a cold day! What are you doing out there? Just wait in the palace."

Zhao Zhang helped her to change the soft sedan chair, "It's just a short journey, I haven't seen the queen mother for a long time, how is the queen mother?"

"Okay, Hot Spring Zhuangzi is warm in winter, if you are not too busy with government affairs, you can go to relax."

"Then next year, I will find some time to accompany my mother." The two said a few words calmly, at least showing their mother's kindness and filial piety in front of outsiders.

"By the way, why don't you see the queen?" The queen mother scanned around before getting on the sedan chair, and found that there were few people following the emperor, and the queen who was supposed to come to greet her was nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Zhang didn't make an appointment with Wei Jinrong, so he found an excuse and said, "The empress is preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet tonight, and you suddenly said that she would go back to the palace. She is afraid that the imperial dining room will not be properly prepared, so she is watching over there."

The queen mother nodded, "She is considerate of everything, she is a rare good woman, the emperor should also get closer to her, people, after getting along for a long time, you will have feelings."

"You're right." Zhao Zhang didn't refute, let alone mention his sweetheart to her at this time.

The sedan chair was carried all the way into the harem. After entering the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager was washed and changed by the maids and eunuchs. In the main hall, the eldest princess sat face to face with the emperor.

Zhao Zhang took a sip of tea and put down the cup heavily, causing all the servants present to kneel down in shock.

The eldest princess paused, raised her head and smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? Could it be that you are unhappy because my mother and I came back suddenly?"

Zhao Zhang flicked the hem of his shirt, and said with a sneer, "After all, I and Sister Huang grew up together, we have a deep relationship, and we haven't seen each other for a few years. Why do I feel that Sister Huang is a different person?"

"How do you say that? Could it be that Miss Huang did something wrong?"

Zhao Zhang didn't answer directly, but said: "Today is a family banquet, how about I send someone to invite Gao Xun into the palace to celebrate the New Year together? He is alone in Beijing, and you must miss him too."

For a moment, the eldest princess thought that the emperor had discovered her thoughts on Gao Xun, but how could it be?I have always abided by the etiquette, and I have not gone out of line, but it is just a thought in my heart.

She supported the hairpin, shook her head and refused: "It's not necessary, he is an outsider after all, and there are many rules in the palace, so I don't feel at ease when he comes."

"Is that so? Did Miss Huang contact him after she left the city?"

"I have written several letters home, what's the matter?"

"several times?"

"Two...Three times, Your Majesty, but what did Gao Xun do wrong?" The eldest princess suddenly realized that maybe the emperor blamed her for Gao Xun's wrong doing, but what Gao Xun did could have something to do with her It was only related to Shen Jia.

But she really didn't know what Gao Xun had done. It couldn't be that Gao Xun did what Shen Jia did recently, right?

"How could it be? He came from a noble family, and he has a certain demeanor in dealing with people in the world. I saw him getting close to several families recently, but he seemed a little shy. Thinking that he was alone in Beijing and had no female relatives to handle internal affairs, I wanted to give him Looking for a woman from the right family to marry, I wonder if the emperor can tell what kind of woman he likes?" Zhao Zhang thought, since Shen Jia said that Gao Xun liked him, he must stop his idea first.

The eldest princess's expression changed drastically, "This...how could the emperor suddenly care about this? The Gao family has their own ideas about Gao Xun's marriage, and if you intervene, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Zhao Zhang carefully examined her expression and eyes, and suddenly had some strange thoughts. The eldest sister cared too much about this little uncle. From transferring him to the capital to his daily life, the eldest princess paid too much attention to him.

He had an idea, and when he saw the Empress Dowager walking out, he said: "I won't mess up the mandarin ducks, let the Empress choose a few well-matched women at the palace banquet in a few days, draw portraits and send them to Gao's house in Hexi, so The Gao family can choose for themselves, I just want to give him a marriage, since I have come to Chang'an, I have to show something."

The queen mother felt a little relieved when she heard this sentence, and thought: It can be seen that the emperor still cares about the elder sister. In order to make up for her relationship with the Gao family, he gave Gao Xun a gift. In this way, the Gao family can also remember the elder princess' goodness.

The eldest princess moved her lips, there was no reason to say anything against it, Zhao Zhang smiled, "Then it's settled."

The dinner was quiet, and the rules in the palace were strict. Zhao Zhang was taught not to eat or sleep since he was a child, but the atmosphere was not warm at all.

After the meal, the queen arranged songs, dances and music, and when it was midnight, the emperor would climb to the tower of the imperial city and light fireworks to celebrate the New Year.

The liveliness of the Shen family was still going on, the lunch meal was too rich, and everyone drank wine, the kitchen only made dumplings for dinner and brought them to the table, everyone had some fun.

After the food was removed, the servants brought tea and snacks, and added a few pots of charcoal to the house. The whole family gathered around the table, playing cards and talking. It was very lively.

"The two brothers-in-laws follow me." Shen Jia stood up and said to the two brothers-in-laws.

Yang Sen and Jia Tingfeng looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't refuse, they had no choice but to follow Shen Jia as if they were dead.

Shen Jia took them to the study in the outer courtyard. He Yan warmed up the study first, and made good tea, and poured it for the two sons-in-law, "You two sons-in-law are blessed. It is said that it is a tribute sent from Fujian, and it is only one catty a year."

Yang Sen always knew that Shen Jia was favored, otherwise the promotion would not be the same as being promoted, so he hurriedly complimented: "It is still Jiajia who has the ability, brother-in-law will take this cup of tea to wish you a bright future and a prosperous official career."

Jia Tingfeng's mouth was clumsier, but he was not a stupid goose, and hurriedly followed him to offer tea to Shen Jia, "I have never thanked Jiajia for recommending me to the Imperial College. Don't worry, I have been working hard and making great progress. The teacher said that next year you can give it a try.”

"That's good. The most talented masters in the entire Jin Dynasty have gathered in the Imperial College. It will definitely benefit you a lot if you can calm down and study. Even if you don't want to take the imperial examination in the future, you can learn a lot. But there are also some in the Imperial College who rely on If you are a supervising student with a family background, if they bully you, you can also tell me."

With Jia Tingfeng's family background, he suddenly entered the Imperial College through the back door. Naturally, some people couldn't see it. Verbal insults were inevitable. He was ashamed at first, but after a long time, everyone learned that he was Shen Jia's. Brother-in-law, his attitude towards him is much better, and there are even quite a few people who come to curry favor with him.

Yang Sen and Jia Tingfeng stood up at the same time, bowed to Shen Jia, and thanked Shen Jia solemnly. Both of them have been helped a lot by Shen Jia, and as long as their conscience is still there, they should be grateful.

Shen Jia received their gift, and said calmly: "I don't know how much you know about Zhang Lu's affairs. Let's talk about it today. I protect my shortcomings, but I am also reasonable. If the sisters did something wrong, I will definitely let you know." I'm on your side, but if you do something wrong to my sister... I, Shen Jia, won't do anything to you, but marriage is a good thing with two surnames. Love should also have the meaning of husband and wife. If there is nothing left, it is better to return to the bridge. If the child is still young, he must be with his mother. If the child is older, then he wants to follow. They can choose by themselves. This is not too much Bar?"

Yang Sen swore: "I, Yang Sen, will never disappoint Shen Jing in this life. If I violate this oath, the sky will be struck by lightning, and my children and grandchildren will be cut off."

Shen Jia shook her head, "There's no need for that. A man's oath is like a dream in a mirror. It's true at the moment. When the mirror is broken, nothing will exist. You just need to remember these four words, so you can get together and get together. My Shen family can afford it." Returning aunt."

"Yes, I will prove it with actions."

Seeing the frightened appearance of the two of them, the Shen family smiled, "You don't have to be burdened, and you can live as you want. The Zhang family's affairs are fueled by someone behind the scenes, so it will become like this. In fact, this is what I told everyone. The troubles I have caused may cause someone to trouble you because of me in the future, so if there is anything I can help, feel free to speak up, as a family, everything is prosperous and everything is damaged, I hope you understand this truth."

After hearing this, Yang Sen and Jia Tingfeng didn't feel offended, but felt at ease. The Shen Jia they knew was always reasonable, and the Zhang family was not that radical. They thought they were being tricked this time.

"Why don't we go and persuade Zhang Lu, they must not know that they have been deceived, if they are sold and help count the money, they will definitely regret it in the future."

It's not that Shen Jia didn't want to remind the Zhang family in the past, but now that the relationship between the two families is tense, the other party won't believe anything he says.

"It's good to persuade them, it's up to them whether they listen or not."

Jia Tingfeng usually came into contact with nosy scholars, heard a lot of rumors, he remembered one thing, and told Shen Jia: "Yesterday when I went out with my classmates, I heard that the maid who committed suicide in the prison was ordered Yes, it is said that someone knows the maid’s family, can you ask her family, maybe they know something.”

"Of course I've looked for it, but it's really difficult to deal with such a family." The maid named Ginkgo was bought in the capital, and the family sold her to a rich family as a maid in order to marry their son. After getting the money, she didn't care about her daughter's life or death at all. She didn't know what to do when asked, howled when she got rough, and dared to say anything. Even if the confession was recorded, it would be retracted temporarily.

Shen Jia always felt that the breakthrough in this matter was to find the people behind the scenes, without the people behind the scenes helping the flames, it would be impossible for the Shen family and the Zhang family to go to war for the two children.

Now that there is a life between the two families, it will be difficult to end it.
