I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

[one more]

marriage...

It's a big deal.

When she was watching TV dramas before, she always felt that in the ancient times, a certain prince of the country was sent to the enemy country at every turn, and then established some relations that seemed to be for peace, but she didn't know how long the peace would last. incomprehensible.

Looking at this behavior from the standpoint of the prince, it is even more difficult to understand. The prince went to the enemy country as a hostage, and the two countries have been fighting for a long time. Will be made things difficult by members of the royal family of the enemy country.

Even ordinary people would scold and embarrass that unlucky proton in various ways. If this is the case, they will either die or be injured when they arrive in the enemy country.

Let’s talk about this for the time being. If the two countries start a war again after signing a friendly agreement, if there is another fight, the proton in the enemy country will bear the brunt, and he will be the first to be pulled out and chopped down.

No matter how you think about it, it's scary.

Qin Zhao paused, then lowered his voice and said to Gu Junran: "My lady... If the Liao Kingdom is looking for a prince to marry, will it find one, the one with the most prestige in the Wei Kingdom?"

Gu Junran raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, admiring her a little: "You can still think of this?"

Qin Zhao scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm just guessing, but I thought, if the Liao Kingdom asks the prince of the Wei Kingdom to enter the Liao Dynasty as a hostage, it sounds nicer to say it's a marriage, but in reality The situation is here again, the Liao Kingdom will definitely not see a certain prestigious prince from the Great Wei succeeding to the throne in the future, then... that person will definitely be sent over."

Gu Junran said lightly: "Your analysis makes a lot of sense."

Qin Zhao suddenly became happy, and said with a smile: "I'm so happy. Anyway, the Liao Kingdom chooses and chooses, and it won't be my head. I really feel sad when I think about it. When the time comes, I will leave my hometown and marry me. A princess of the Liao Kingdom who doesn't know what she looks like, and then becomes a door-to-door son-in-law. Although Ruanfan is delicious, but... I heard that the people in the Liao Kingdom are open, if the princess is a pungent... Anyway , as long as it's not me, I'm relieved."

Gu Junran's complexion suddenly became a little bad, she gave Qin Zhao a cold look, and said, "It's too early for you to rest assured."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, and looked up: "What..."

Gu Junran smiled: "Perhaps the Liao Kingdom didn't think too much about it. As for the princess's choice of son-in-law, she naturally chooses the one she likes."

Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "Then I beg her, don't look at me, but..." She suddenly became happy again: "The princess has never seen me, she probably doesn't know who I am , so no matter what, it is impossible to choose me.”

Gu Junran asked her with some displeasure: "Don't you want to be the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom?"

Qin Zhao instinctively said: "I don't want to, I'm leaving the country of Wei. It's hard for me to live in peace, and you are willing to protect me. I eat and drink in the country of Wei, and I don't have time to be happy. Why do I have to go far away?" Liao?"

Gu Junran said lightly: "Only you would think so."

Qin Zhao frowned: "Don't the other princes think so? Are they still willing to be the son-in-law of the Liao princess?"

Seeing that she didn't look like she was pretending to be stupid, Gu Junran really thought so, and said, "If the princess of the Liao Kingdom chooses a son-in-law, the King of Liao will definitely use all his strength to help that son-in-law ascend to the throne of the Wei Kingdom, so..."

Qin Zhao suddenly realized: "So everyone is willing to be the door-to-door son-in-law!"

Gu Junran looked at her with a faint smile: "What about you? Are you willing?"

Qin Zhao shook her head again: "I don't want to." She thought for a while, and then said: "I think, if that Liao princess is good-looking, has a good personality, and treats me well, then she will listen to me, Maybe... I'd be happy."

Gu Junran looked at her with some indescribable words: "You think a little too much."

Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "Not much, not much, I knew that such a woman could not exist in the world, so I naturally didn't want to go... Actually, the main reason is that I don't know what kind of person the other party is, so I just want I don’t think so. So, if one day the Wei State is really defeated, you must protect me and make sure I don’t go to the Liao State.”

She said again: "Ma'am, please?"

Gu Junran gave her a cold look, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Qin Zhao panicked at Gu Junran's reaction, and didn't know what Gu Junran was thinking. According to the original plot, which is the so-called "Heavenly Way" process, Wei Guo will definitely lose this battle.

If Wei State loses, Liao State really wants to drag a certain prince to marry him. Anyway, she doesn't want to go, and she definitely won't go.

No matter what Gu Junran thinks then, she won't go anyway.

She was still uneasy when she returned to the palace, Xiao Shengzi served her cakes, and sent someone to serve her tea, Qin Zhao lacked interest and still didn't want to eat.

Two hours later, Gu Junran called her to go to Fengqi Palace again, Qin Zhao could only agree.

When she brought Xiao Shengzi to Fengqi Palace, Gu Junran had just finished taking a bath, and had already changed into the bright red thin normal clothes she usually wears in the palace.

Qin Zhao saluted and asked, "Madam, what is the matter that you called me here?"

Gu Junran glanced at her, and said, "There's a story that's been spreading in the capital recently, and I hear it's quite interesting."

Qin Zhao asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from the palace that the businessmen from the Liao Kingdom in the capital have had many conflicts with us recently, and fought several times on the street."

Qin Zhao was slightly stunned: "Merchants from the Liao Kingdom provoked trouble in the capital of the Wei Kingdom? Did they do it on purpose?"

Gu Junran said in a low voice: "Now that the war is about to be fought, how dare the merchants of the Liao Kingdom deliberately provoke troubles in the Wei Kingdom?"

Qin Zhao touched his chin: "I also think this sounds strange. If the people of Wei State are suddenly filled with righteous indignation, it is still possible to take the initiative to provoke businessmen from Liao State. That’s a little unreasonable.”

Gu Junran paused, and then said: "It's just that people were killed."

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "What? Killed someone? When did it happen?"

Gu Junran was thoughtful, and said softly: "That's what happened just today, when you and I left the palace."

Qin Zhao suddenly felt a headache: "No way? Is it Wei or Liao who died?"

Gu Junran said: "I heard that there are a few Liao people in the South Street who cover their faces and chop up people they meet on the street. When the government officials arrive, they all run away."

Qin Zhao asked, "But if you're covering your face, how do you know it's from Liao?"

Gu Junran smiled lightly: "Jing Zhaoyin has brought back the knife left by the thief back to the Yamen. It is the knife of the Liao army. Now His Majesty knows about it, I am afraid..."

Qin Zhao frowned and answered, "I'm afraid there will be a real fight. If it's an ordinary conflict, it's okay to say, but now if it rises to a conflict between the two countries, if this happens and Wei Guo doesn't send troops, it will definitely happen." Let the people feel cold."

Gu Junran remained silent.

Qin Zhao said again: "But this matter sounds strange no matter how it sounds? Why did the knife stay so coincidentally? I'm afraid it's a bit strange."

Gu Junran said: "Your Majesty won't investigate if there is something wrong. Now that people's grievances have arisen, I'm afraid it's..."

Qin Zhao suddenly understood that the person in the original text, the person who provoked the war between Wei and Beirong, was the people from Beirong who killed people in the streets of Wei State.

It's just that it has changed now, and it has become the Liao Kingdom.

But whether it is the Beibei or the Liao Kingdom, they still have to fight after all.If there is going to be a war, wouldn't Qin Suduan also go to the battlefield?

Qin Zhao immediately realized that Gu Junran called her over just to tell her about it?

"That..." Qin Zhao asked: "Your Majesty, you called me, is there anything else?"

Gu Junran looked at her and said, "Your Majesty just sent someone over, saying that Princess Nanqi entered the palace last night and was willing to marry you. What do you think?"

Qin Zhao was stunned for a long time before saying, "Forget about that kind of woman, I don't want her."

Gu Junran asked her, "What kind of woman?"

Qin Zhao paused, and said: "She told me earlier that she had three men before me, and she was ugly, that kind of ugly... It's not ugly, but her eyes are very dirty. When I look at people, I float around, as if I have some calculations in my heart, so I don’t look like a good person.”

Gu Junran beckoned, and Jinli, who was standing by the side, stepped forward, and put the red cloth in his hand on her body.

Gu Junran may have just taken a shower, and when the wind blows outside the window, it becomes a little cold.

Qin Zhao actually felt that the weather was about to change, and now it was almost winter, and when winter came, wars would start again, and life might be difficult soon.

Gu Junran looked at her, and said calmly: "Why do you think that in your eyes, women in the world seem to be despised by you? Could it be that you don't like women?"

Qin Zhao was startled: "I like it, of course I like it."

Gu Junran looked at her and asked, "What do you like?"

Qin Zhao smirked: "Say it, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. I like that kind of clothes, that is, dress dignifiedly, aloofly and arrogantly, take off your clothes... That's right, unrestrained? It doesn't mean to be unrestrained, in short, treat people on weekdays , very polite, but a little more enthusiastic when in bed, it is best to be able to..."

The more she talked, the happier she became, and the bigger the smile on her face, when she looked up again, she saw Gu Junran looking at her without words.

Qin Zhao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and asked tentatively, "If I said that I was talking nonsense just now, would you believe me?"

Gu Junran glanced at her indifferently: "What do you think?"

Qin Zhao said embarrassingly: "Young lady, you believe me, I am not such a wretched person, you just asked me and I just said nonsense!" Qin Zhao was about to cry: "Really, you believe me, I really am Not that kind of guy."

Gu Junran said coldly: "Are you that kind of person, what have you got to do with me?"

Qin Zhao quickly said: "My lady, my lady, I was wrong, I shouldn't talk nonsense to you! Really, really!"

Gu Junran looked at her lightly: "Stop sophistry, if you continue sophistry, I will mistakenly think that..."

Qin Zhao was startled, then raised his head: "What?"

Gu Junran said softly: "You are guarding yourself like a jade for your mother, me."

Qin Zhao: "..."

[two more]

Qin Zhao was terrified by her words: "I didn't, I didn't, I didn't mean that."

Gu Junran glanced at her with a smile: "I am kidding you, you have the guts..."

Qin Zhao hurriedly followed her words and said, "I've always been timid, ma'am, don't tease me with such words, I can't, I really can't."

Gu Junran looked at her indifferently, and said in a low voice: "It's okay for you to talk nonsense to others on weekdays, but it's okay for others to talk nonsense to you. How can there be such a reason?"

Qin Zhao immediately said: "Then I will stop talking nonsense from now on, I promise you."

Gu Junran raised his brows, and said to her: "I am not a few years younger than you, so you don't have to be too cautious about what you say."

Qin Zhao was slightly stunned, and looked up at Gu Junran, only to see that the expression on her face was a little unnatural, and Qin Zhao also suddenly became a little unnatural.

Gu Junran's words are from the standpoint of the elders, or...

Qin Zhao asked her with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you mean that we can get along like friends?"

Gu Junran said in a low voice: "You can also understand it in this way."

Qin Zhao quickly responded, "That's fine, so everyone will be more comfortable."

Leaving from Gu Junran's Fengqi Palace, halfway there, he saw a young man walking towards him. The young man seemed to be taller than Qin Zhao, but his face was slightly immature.

The man walked up to Qin Zhao, nodded slightly and said, "Hello, sixth brother."

Qin Zhao was startled: "You are?"

The young man said: "I'm Qin Sheng. The sixth younger brother has just returned to the palace not long ago, so he doesn't know me."

Qin Zhao understood, it turned out to be the eldest prince Qin Sheng.

Seeing Qin Zhao looking at him, Qin Sheng smiled and said, "I'm going to go hunting in the eastern suburbs in a few days, will my sixth brother go?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I don't really want to go, I don't know how to ride a horse."

Qin Sheng said: "That's okay, I'll teach you when the time comes."

Qin Zhao nodded with a smile: "Then thank you, brother."

But she thought about it again, it didn't seem quite right, what happened in the capital, no matter whether it was Liao merchants picking quarrels or not, Liao and Wei would soon be at war, if there was a war, Emperor Yuan Qi would still Interested in taking your sons to the eastern suburbs for hunting?

After returning to the palace, Qin Zhao was still a little uneasy.

She seemed to remember that a major event happened during the hunting in the eastern suburbs, and it was something that was not explained in detail in the original text. Not only that, but the princess died when she came back from the hunting grounds, and she remembered something that happened.

What if Concubine Jin's tenth princess died when she came back because of an accident in the eastern suburbs?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became cautious.

But the war is about to start right now, maybe the hunting in the eastern suburbs will be cancelled, who knows?

After a few days, the weather really changed suddenly, the north wind blew in along the palace wall, it was already a bit cold winter.

The heaters in Qin Zhao Palace felt that they were not enough, so they brought two more to the House of Internal Affairs. Now the three heaters were used together in the house, and it was finally warmer.

The days without heating and air conditioning in ancient times were really difficult.

She lasted for a few days and finally caught a cold.

She was always sneezing, and her head was hot. She lay on the bed, covered the quilt, and listened to Xiao Shengzi telling her about the affairs of the palace.

"Your Highness, I heard from people in the palace that Your Majesty has been furious these past few days and asked Jing Zhaoyin to investigate the secret affairs of the Liao Kingdom."

Qin Zhao coughed a few times, and asked him, "Why did you become a craftsman in a blink of an eye, aren't you a businessman?"

Xiao Shengzi shook his head, and said: "I heard that it was found out by the third prince, who said it was a secret work from the Liao Kingdom, with the intention of humiliating my people in Great Wei and hurting my face."

Qin Zhao laughed, and asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Shengzi thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, that's right, it's that girl Fang Fei, who has been in the limelight in the capital recently."

Qin Zhao asked him, "How to say?"

Xiao Shengzi said: "Your Majesty also heard about it. A few days ago, His Majesty went out to pay a private visit to the palace, and fainted on the road. A woman suddenly appeared and rescued His Majesty. Yesterday, His Majesty summoned him personally, and then the news spread Yes. I heard that Miss Fangfei is also the widow of a previous elder..."

Qin Zhao paused, and the plot was advanced.

She frowned, and asked: "Isn't Jing Zhaoyin investigating the affairs of the merchants of the Liao Kingdom? What does it have to do with the third prince? Why did the third prince find out that it was a spy?"

Xiao Shengzi paused, and said: "Your Highness, you don't know that the concubine brother of the third prince is the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The Ministry of Criminal Justice always likes to intervene in Jing Zhaoyin's affairs. This is not the first time, so it should be It was also he who found out and asked the third prince to report to His Majesty."

Qin Zhao suddenly laughed.

This is very strange, the whole thing is very strange.

Xiao Shengzi didn't understand, so he said, "Your Highness, what are you laughing at?"

Qin Zhaodao: "Oh, I was thinking, if you don't have a main concubine, you can have a side concubine first, so can I just marry ten or eight?"

Xiao Shengzi also laughed along with her: "Your Highness..."

Before Xiao Shengzi finished speaking, he saw a person coming in from outside the hall, and the little eunuch didn't notify him, so the person outside was caught off guard, and Qin Zhao didn't have time to react.

Qin Zhao looked up and saw that it was Gu Junran.

She was embarrassed for a while, how could Gu Junran always listen to her without answering what she shouldn't have said?

Gu Junran, I'm afraid he has a good ear, right?

Qin Zhao lifted the quilt and sat up, then immediately stood on the ground with bare feet. The floor was not cold, but was scorched by the stove.

She saluted and said awkwardly: "No one notified..."

Gu Junran raised his eyebrows to look at her, and said: "Since you are sick, you can lie down, and there is no need for red tape."

Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "Ma'am, why are you here?"

Gu Junran glanced at her again, and said softly, "I heard that you are sick."

Qin Zhao quickly said, "How can I make you worry about me? It's not a big deal that I'm sick, so I'll trouble you to go there yourself."

Gu Junran smiled lightly: "I am here to feed you medicine."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Qin Zhao glanced at the medicine bowl she threw aside, and quickly said, "It's not a serious illness, and I'll drink it after the medicine cools down. I can't drink it now."

The ancient Chinese medicine is too bitter, and it is just a small cold, and it will be fine after two days of resistance.

Gu Junran insisted: "No, I have to drink now."

As Gu Junran said, he walked over involuntarily, picked up the medicine bowl, and then looked at Qin Zhao, signaling her to lie down on the bed.

The corner of Qin Zhao's mouth twitched twice. She really didn't understand why she had to lie down to drink the medicine.

She shook her head: "I can drink standing up."

Gu Junran asked her, "Why didn't you faint?"

Qin Zhao was startled: "What... didn't faint? What do you mean?"

Gu Junran said indifferently: "Didn't it be written in your book that if you faint, you can mouth to mouth... the medicine?"

Qin Zhao: "..."
