I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

"Looking at a girl?"

Concubine Jin thought for a while, and her face became a little ugly.

Qin Zhao immediately felt that Concubine Jin had misunderstood something, and was about to explain aloud.

Concubine Jin frowned, and said displeasedly: "I have also heard a little about the matter between you and that brothel girl."

Qin Zhao gave a wry smile, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no...Auntie, please listen to my explanation!"

"Listen to Ben Gong!" Concubine Jin suddenly sternly said, and Qin Zhao didn't dare to speak again.

Concubine Jin didn't know what she thought of, she sighed heavily, and her words were a little more embarrassing: "Your mother told me the other day, if you want to find someone to live with, you will naturally find someone you are satisfied with."

Qin Zhao was startled: "What?"

Concubine Jin sighed: "She told me back then that the matter of love is indistinct after all, if the person you like is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, you have to go on without hesitation."

Qin Zhao smacked his mouth and sighed, "My mother...was so advanced in her awakening back then?"

Concubine Jin glared at her, and only sighed: "Your mother was such a strong temper back then, she wouldn't listen to anyone's words. The elders of the Zhou family and I only felt that it was wrong for her to marry His Majesty."

"What do you think?" Qin Zhao thought about the meaning of her words, and couldn't help asking: "Is it possible that my mother has never regretted it?"

Concubine Jin smiled wryly and shook her head: "Until she died, she said that she would have no regrets marrying His Majesty, but now she never thought that this infatuation would come to you again."

Qin Zhao frowned.

I couldn't help sighing, I don't know if a woman like Empress Xian should be called infatuated or stupid.

However, when she looks at the former empress now, she is only looking at it from the perspective of God, and even Concubine Jin is only evaluating the past events that happened that year from a personal perspective.

As Concubine Jin said, it was a mistake for the first empress to marry Emperor Yuanqi in the eyes of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao sighed: "My mother was only at the age of first love. It is understandable for her to be deeply in love with His Majesty. It's just that she - entrusted to someone else, fell in love with a heartless man."

Concubine Jin glanced at her, and said calmly: "Your mother made a mistake once back then, and I can't let you make the same mistake."

Qin Zhao heard the topic turned to his body again, coughed lightly, and said in embarrassment: "That Chen Fangfei and I are fine..."

"Nothing?" Concubine Jin glared at her: "Nothing can make a fuss about marrying her seven or eight times a month?"

Qin Zhao scratched his head, and said hesitantly, "I was playing sloppy with outsiders before, and the person I fell in love with wasn't her at all."

Concubine Jin looked at her suspiciously: "Sloppy?"

Qin Zhao nodded: "Well, I just figured it out. If His Majesty wants to give me a marriage and marry someone I don't like, it's better to find one myself."

Concubine Jin saw that her attitude didn't look like a fake, so she asked her: "Then tell auntie, which girl are you looking for? If it's a girl from a good family, I will go to His Majesty to propose a marriage for you."

Facing Concubine Jin who was suddenly enthusiastic about her marriage, Qin Zhao immediately shook his head and said hesitantly, "I don't think it's necessary..."

"Why not?" Concubine Jin looked at her and joked, "I don't think you are a thin-skinned person. Why do you act like a big girl when you talk about marriage?"

Qin Zhao sneered, and when he thought of the identity of the other party's princess, he started to have a headache again.

But even if she is a fake prince, she can't justify it in name after all, and if she said clearly that she has a crush on the princess of the current dynasty, Concubine Jin, who was smiling at her at first, might suddenly get violent and then hammered to death with a kitchen knife she.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao couldn't help but smiled wryly again, and refused, "Auntie, you'd better stop making trouble for me. I've only met her girl twice, and I don't even know who she is."

Concubine Jin just said: "You don't need to worry about this, as long as you don't fall in love with that brothel girl, with your current status, who do you want to marry and you can't marry?"

Qin Zhao paused, but finally summoned up the courage to ask tentatively: "Auntie, are you serious? But the identity of the other party seems really noble..."

"Noble?" Concubine Jin sneered, "How can she be a noble prince if she is noble? It is the daughter of the prime minister's family. I have said from it that you may not be unable to marry her."

Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "You mean, as long as it's what I want—and as long as I don't want to marry that brothel woman Chen Fangfei, I can marry anyone, right?"

Concubine Jin smiled and said: "That's natural, besides, you will come to the palace after a while, and now that you have reached the age of marriage, His Majesty will definitely grant you a marriage."

Qin Zhao pondered for a while, then Fang said, "That's what I'm worried about. If you marry someone you don't like, what's the difference with an arranged marriage?"

According to the plot in the original text, after the original body entered the palace, Emperor Yuan Qi bestowed a marriage on the original body.

It's just that this marriage was a calculation for Yuan Bo.

Now that she clearly knows the plot of the original text, she can no longer accept the marriage gift from Emperor Yuanqi.

"I understand." Concubine Jin comforted her and said, "You don't have to worry too much, besides, even if His Majesty grants you a marriage one day, it must be a girl from a good family, and her status will definitely match you. "

Qin Zhao concealed the coldness in his eyes, and said with a light smile, "That's not entirely true. Even if the other party's identity matches her, she might not be a girl from a good family."

Concubine Jin was startled: "What does this mean?"

Qin Zhao just smiled and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm too young, and I'm a little panicked about getting married."

Seeing her saying this, Concubine Jin comforted her and said, "Why are you panicking? When a man is a man, he has a family when he becomes a relative. Once a family has a son and a half, this life is considered complete. Your mother is here You can feel at ease under the Nine Springs."

Qin Zhao could only nod his head: "Well... I know."

She accompanied Concubine Jin to talk about family affairs for a while, most of which were interesting things that happened with Concubine Jin when she was still in the northern border.Qin Zhao listened quietly, and asked a few questions from time to time. Concubine Jin seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and she couldn't finish talking about what happened back then.

What she meant from Concubine Jin's words, it should be that Empress Xian had someone she liked back then, but that man fell off a horse once and couldn't get sick. Later, Empress Xian met and was still a prince. Emperor Yuanqi.

Qin Zhao only felt that something was wrong, and wanted to ask about the details, but Concubine Jin changed the topic to another place.

Unknowingly, the sky was already bright, and the sound of the palace people knocking on the stem outside came in waves.

Qin Zhao drank some tea with Concubine Jin, who had already said that her mouth was dry, and finally heard a knock on the door.

As soon as the door was knocked, another old and high-pitched voice came in: "Slave Wuji Palace Zhao Dewang, send greetings to Concubine Jin."

When Concubine Jin heard the words, she instantly suppressed the smile in her eyes, and only said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Dewang leaned slightly outside the door, and said in a good voice: "Returning to the words of the concubine Jin, the slave is here to pick up Prince Xiaoqi to the Wuji Hall according to His Majesty's will."

Qin Zhao frowned, and asked aloud, "This is..."

Concubine Jin looked at her, and only lowered her voice and said quickly: "You have entered the Wuji Palace, just admit your mistakes to His Majesty, but don't say anything contradictory. Now Your Majesty's temper is becoming more and more unpredictable. If you lose him, even if King Qi and I want to protect you, we will not be able to protect you."

Qin Zhao nodded: "Yes, I wrote it down."

Concubine Jin said again in a deep voice: "Today is the first day you enter the palace, you must not show your sharpness too much, you must know the truth of hiding your clumsiness."

Qin Zhao paused.

Concubine Jin ignored her, stood up in a blink of an eye, and went to open the door with the domineering concubine's air.

As soon as the inner door was opened, Qin Zhao looked past Concubine Jin and saw an old man over fifty years old standing outside the threshold.

She knew that the slick character in the book was Zhao Dewang, the chief eunuch next to Emperor Yuan Qi.

Zhao Dewang was a little chubby, with deep folds on his forehead, but the skin on his face was so pale that Qin Zhao thought he had put powder on his face.

Right now Zhao Dewang is wearing a blue palace robe with a wide belt of the same color around his waist, followed by two young eunuchs.

When Zhao Dewang saw Concubine Jin, his half-bent body bent even more, and he bowed to Concubine Jin and said: "Madam, the servant is here to pick up Prince Xiao Qi."

Concubine Jin stood tall on the steps, smiled and said: "This palace is unexpected, Your Majesty asked Director Zhao to come and pick him up in person."

Zhao Dewang raised his head, took a few glances at Qin Zhao, and then said respectfully to Concubine Jin: "Returning to your mother's words, I guess, it's because your Majesty and Prince Xiao Qi have not seen each other for a long time, so they attach great importance to it."

Concubine Jin seemed very satisfied after hearing his flattering words, and then she looked at Qin Zhao and said, "This is Mr. Zhao who is next to His Majesty. When you were just born, Mr. Zhao hugged you."

Qin Zhao bowed slightly to Zhao Dewang, and said with a casual smile, "Oh, I see. Ma'am, you mean that I have a predestined relationship with Eunuch Zhao."

Zhao Dewang immediately bowed his body: "I really don't dare to be such a big gift to Prince Xiao Qi. If Prince Xiao Qi has any orders in the future, just ask."

In front of Emperor Yuan Qi's people, Qin Zhao naturally wanted to maintain his original brainless personality, so he smiled and said, "I don't have any instructions, and I don't know you very well."

"..."

Zhao Dewang paused, then looked up at Concubine Jin.

I thought to myself, what kind of master is this, why does he look a little stupid, and can't hear the polite words?

However, he changed his mind again, the things Prince Xiao Qi did outside the palace were not something a smart person could do.

Concubine Jin beckoned, and the maid behind her brought up a bag of silver.

Concubine Jin handed it to Zhao Dewang without saying a word.

Zhao Dewang glanced left and right, silently accepted the money, and the creases on his face suddenly smiled: "Ma'am, you are too polite."

Concubine Jin smiled: "This silly child of my family will bother Eunuch Zhao."

Zhao Dewang paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, regardless of whether Qin Zhao could understand or not, he just said with a single brain: "Prince Xiao Qi, His Majesty has just come to the court at this moment, and he is worried about the affairs of the court. , you will see His Majesty later, but you must be more cautious..."

Qin Zhao nodded, and said casually, "Ang, I see."

Zhao Dewang took Qin Zhao out of the Zhongcui Palace, Zhao Dewang felt very upset along the way.

Now it is rumored in the palace that this Prince Xiao Qi is an unscrupulous master who doesn't care about human affairs!

Now His Majesty's mind is also unpredictable, and he doesn't know how to treat this "Prince" outside the palace.

Although he said that he took the money from Concubine Jin now, saying that he wanted to take care of Qin Zhao, but now in the palace, except for the Fengqi Palace of the empress, which palace did he confiscate money from?

At such an unpredictable moment, since he has accepted Concubine Jin's money, he can just mention a few words at will. Since he is not up to date, perhaps His Majesty will definitely not do him any favors. complexion.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dewang looked at Qin Zhao, who was walking with him beside him, without any respect, and there was a sneer in his eyes.

Qin Zhao was naturally ignorant of his whirling thoughts, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, while asking aloud, "Eunuch Zhao, I have something I want to ask you."

Zhao Dewang resumed his respectful posture, and quickly said with a smile: "Master Xiao Qi, please ask."

Qin Zhao paused, tilted his head and asked him, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, who is the princess who is about the same age as me at your majesty's knee?"

Zhao Dewang was stunned: "What does Prince Xiao Qi ask this for?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Just curious, can Eunuch Zhao tell Xiao Wang?"

Zhao Dewang pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are only three princesses who are about the same age as you."

Qin Zhao's eyes lit up: "The third princess?"

"Are you asking about the same age?" Zhao Dewang frowned, and continued: "The old slave should have remembered correctly, the third princess is about the same age as you, but she is in poor health and rarely sees outsiders... Prince Xiaoqi is Why did you suddenly ask her?"

"I rarely see outsiders?" Qin Zhao paused, and said with some disappointment, "That might not be the case, but it's not necessarily true. Rarely seeing outsiders doesn't mean that you never see outsiders. Don't you think so?"

Zhao Dewang couldn't understand more and more, and just about to speak out——

Then I heard Qin Zhao continue to ask: "Is there anyone else in the palace who is as old as me?"

"The ones who are about the same age... Oh yes!" Zhao Dewang was silent for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "There is also our empress!"

Qin Zhao was taken aback.

Almost choked to death by a mouthful of saliva.
