The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

However, she said that the old concubine was not groundless. Duke Xiu was passed down to this generation, and the head of the Hou family, Hou Xiaolian, was a hereditary first-class son. He was much older than the king of Beijing County, but he had a young and beautiful sister, so he wanted to To win over the relationship with King Beijing.

Who doesn't know, since the last time Concubine Xiande was framed, because of guilt, the emperor has become more and more close to King Beijing and Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun is forty years old. Although he is middle-aged, he can't be considered old. She has a strong body and looks about 30 years old, but after all, she even has a daughter, and her daughter can marry.

It's still not as good as the King of Beijing, who is young and romantic, looks like a jade tree, gentle and handsome, and easy-going. In this way, I wish the daughters of the dignitaries in the capital would want to marry the King of Beijing.

Moreover, the king of Beijing County is not married yet, and the position of concubine is vacant. Now he is at a weak age, and there is not even a concubine in the family. It can be seen that the king of Beijing County is very worthy. If any girl can marry, She is about to be favored by the fairy-like county king alone, isn't she envied to death?

Because it was said that there were quite a few people coming for relatives, and there were also quite a few matchmakers. That day, Hou Xiaolian of the Xiuguo Mansion came in person, saying that he was visiting, but in fact he really intended to matchmaking, but the King of Beijing County Hu Yan went over to them. It's okay to change the topic casually.

But later, Hou Xiaolian seemed unwilling, and came several times. The King of Beijing's "pretending to be stupid" was also top-notch. In addition, the old concubine also liked Wu Zhao, so she decided that Wu Zhao was her daughter-in-law. , so he didn't help. Hou Xiaolian mentioned it a few times, but he didn't mention it again.

But if you think he really didn’t mention it, you actually changed his strategy and begged the queen instead. The Hou family and the queen are related, so Hou Xiaolian went to the queen instead.

In fact, the Queen also felt that it would be good if she could win over the King of Beijing. After all, the King of Beijing had a great reputation and was upright. Such a man is rare in the world nowadays, wouldn't it be great if he could point it out to his family?

The Empress intends to match the King of Beijing County and the daughter of the Hou family, and she has also talked to the Emperor about this, but the Emperor did not refer to the marriage as he did last time, and his attitude was also ambiguous, which made the Empress confused for a while.

In addition to the King of Beijing who wants to match, let alone Wu Zhao, there are also people who want to match.

Wu Zhao moved out of Jia's Mansion and lived in Lin's Mansion. Because of the joy of housewarming, many people came to congratulate him, some of them were completely irrelevant and had never met, and some had only heard their names but didn't know each other at all. .

These days, the most diligent person who comes to Wuzhao's place is Miss Qianjin from Qi Guofu's family.

Previously, Chen Ruiwen of the Qi State Mansion wanted to "coincidentally" eat the flower cake made by Wu Zhao at the Huachao Festival, so that he could show his fate, and then he came to propose marriage logically. The result was good, and he didn't know what went wrong. Hey, I didn't eat the flower cake at all.

He didn't know that Beijing County, who ate flower cakes, ate a sour, peppery flower cake that could be remembered for a lifetime.

For more than a month, the daughter of the Qi State Mansion always came to the door to get close to Wu Zhao.

The daughter of the Qi State Mansion is Chen Ruiwen's eldest sister, she is already married, and she comes here every few days to show her hospitality, and she always chats with Wu Zhao, just talking about his younger brother.

Who doesn't know that Chen Ruiwen is only hereditary now, but he has made no achievements after all. It is the same as the common problem of Jia's family. There are several concubines and roommates, but no main room.

At this level, Wu Zhao didn't like him at all. In terms of ability, he had no ability, and in terms of color, Wu Zhao was far behind, so Wu Zhao didn't think about it.

When the daughter of the Qi State Mansion ran over, Wu Zhao just evaded a few words, and that was all.

After a long time, the daughter of the Qi State Mansion also knew that it didn't make sense to just run away from Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao didn't like to see his younger brother at all, so he still needed to start from another place.

This day, Princess Yongning came over again, not to see Wu Zhao, but to see Jia Yun under the banner of watching Wu Zhao.

Seeing Princess Yongning coming, Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that the princess is here. The chief manager of our mansion has just been summoned by the prefect. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back tonight."

The owner of Yongning County listened to her entertaining herself, and said: "Who said I'm coming to him? I'm here to find you!"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Find me? I'm afraid I can't."

Princess Yongning blushed and said, "I'm here to find you!"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, you're here to find me, what's the matter?"

Princess Yongning sat down and said, "I really have something to ask for you, it's about your elder brother Shui Rong."

Wu Zhao said lightly: "The king of the county is the elder brother of the princess, and my uncle. How did he become my brother?"

Princess Yongning smiled, and felt sorry for her Brother Shui Rong, and said: "I'm telling you the truth, don't you know? The Empress Empress intends to match Brother Shui Rong with Xiuguo Mansion, Xiuguo Mansion and Empress Empress Because of the relationship, the empress seems to intend to win over brother Shui Rong, and the empress has already stepped out, isn't this a matter of specifying marriage? Good niece, what do you think of this matter?"

Wu Zhao still looked calm, not in a hurry, but just smiled coldly, as if he didn't care much, but it confused Princess Yongning, and said: "I'm afraid there is something else in it?"

Wu Zhao sighed helplessly, and said: "I'm afraid you still have a lot to learn. How can there be no tricks in it? Let me ask you, what does the emperor mean by the empress's intention to match the county king and the Xiuguo mansion? Have you found out?" ?”

Princess Yongning thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It seems that there really isn't one."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, think about it, the emperor used the hand of Jia Cairen to attack Prince Zhongshun and Prince Beijing, but things didn't work out. Five or six, it was all pushed to Jia Cairen. That's why the emperor has been so close to the prince and the county king against his will recently. The empress and empress are also unclear, and can't understand the current situation. The emperor wants to attack the power of the prince and the county king. However, the queen wants to win over the king of the county to form an alliance with them. How many factions of the queen are there in the court? Adding the king of the county, that’s okay? The emperor doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t agree, it’s clear that he doesn’t want the king of the county and the queen to form a party for personal gain.”

After listening to Wu Zhao's analysis, Princess Yongning immediately felt enlightened, and said, "I said why don't you worry, it turns out that this matter is not going to happen at all."

After finishing speaking, Princess Yongning remembered something, and said, "Even if Brother Shui Rong's business fails, then your business will most likely be resolved."

Wu Zhaonahan said, "My business? What's my business?"

Princess Yongning said proudly: "I'm well-informed, don't you know? The people from the Chen family over there have already gone to bribe the queen, begging the queen to marry you, and betroth you to Chen Ruiwen!"

When Wu Zhao heard this, she squinted her eyes. She was at home recently. Since she just moved to the Lin residence, she had to worry about a lot of things, and she didn't have much free time to take care of it. Who would have thought that the members of the Chen family actually begged the queen? up.

Princess Yongning smiled and said: "Tell me, the Chen family begged the Empress Empress, and the Empress Empress just gave her a favor, and it doesn't hinder her. Will she be generous and point you to Chen Ruiwen?" ?”

Is it more than just a matter of favor and favor?On the other hand, the emperor has taken a fancy to Wu Zhao. The empress knew in her heart that the emperor was thinking about Wu Zhao. Although the empress verbally accepted Wu Zhao as a righteous daughter, the emperor kept talking about it and never brought it up, so It's just verbal, and it's not formal at all. After a long time, everyone forgets about it. When the emperor says it doesn't count, it doesn't count, and she can still be taken into the palace to be a concubine.

And Wu Zhao's beauty is really outstanding, not only that, but also smart and shrewd. If she is allowed to enter the palace, the queen feels that her status will be lost. Naturally, she wants to marry Wu Zhao as soon as possible. After marrying someone, look at the emperor. Why are you still thinking about it.

On the one hand, the queen accepted Chen Ruiwen's benefits, on the other hand, she also wanted to give favors to the Qi government, and on the other hand, she wanted to relieve her worries, so why not do this?

Wu Zhao was thinking about this, and Zijuan came in and said, "Girl, there are people in the palace. Mr. Xia came in person, saying that it was the empress who invited the girl into the palace to have a drink of tea."

Princess Yongning raised an eyebrow at Wu Zhao, and said with a smile, "Just as I was talking, here we come."

Wu Zhao stood up and asked Zijuan and Xueyan to change their clothes. Princess Yongning said, "What are you going to do? Otherwise, you might as well marry our Zhongshun Palace and be my little mother!"

Wu Zhao ignored her, changed her clothes and was ready to enter the palace. If it took too long, the empress might have something wrong with her.

Wu Zhao quickly entered the palace. Xia Shouzhong personally led Wu Zhao inside, and said, "The empress set up a family banquet. She said that she hadn't seen Miss Lin for a long time. She missed her so much, so she invited Miss Lin to come over." Sit down and have some tea."

Wu Zhao kept a smile on his face and said, "Yes, I should have come here often to pay respects to the queen, but I was afraid that the queen would dislike my clumsy actions, which would annoy the empress."

They walked all the way in, and it just so happened that the King of Beijing came out of the emperor's study. He had just finished his summons and was about to go out and go back to the mansion, but he saw Wu Zhao from afar.

Wu Zhao got off the carriage and was walking in with Xia Shouzhong.

King Beijing squinted his eyes when he saw the route. He knew that the queen was looking for Wu Zhao. He had also heard about Chen Ruiwen's recent incident, so he immediately thought of it.

Thinking so, King Beijing didn't pedal his bike immediately, but turned around and walked inside.

Wu Zhao went to see the queen, and Xia Shouzhong came out after bringing it to the imperial garden. The King of Beijing had been waiting outside. When he saw Xia Shouzhong coming to the imperial garden, he quietly followed behind, smiled and said: " Master Xia."

Xia Shouzhong was taken aback. He was alone, without any eunuchs behind him. He walked in a hurry and bumped into the King of Beijing again. !"

The king of Beijing County smiled, and said very easy-goingly: "Don't be so estranged, Mr. Xia is alone? He is in a hurry, where are you going?"

Xia Shouzhong saw the King of Beijing smiling, and knew that he had guessed more than half of it. If he held back, he would have offended the King of Beijing for no reason.

Xia Shouzhong is a smart man, he usually does not leak water, does not offend others, and does not form cliques for personal gain, because he has a very clear idea of ​​what can last in the long run, and now he compares the King of Beijing and Chen Ruiwei in his heart, and laughs He said: "In fact, the slave is reporting to the county king for something."

The king of Beijing County squinted and smiled, and said, "What's the matter?"

Xia Shouzhong hurriedly "confessed" all of them. It turned out that the empress invited Wu Zhao in for tea this time to match Wu Zhao and Chen Ruiwen. Chen Ruiwen entered the palace early today and was waiting in the imperial garden. Take Wu Zhao to the Imperial Garden for a stroll, and then have a chance encounter with Chen Ruiwen, and see Chen Ruiwen's heroic appearance, etc., in order to win Wu Zhao's heart.

Xia Shouzhong smiled and said: "Although General Chen is good, he is not one-tenth as good as the prince. If the county king has any orders, just tell the servants."

King Beijing smiled, his eyes flickered, and said: "I don't have any orders, Xiao Wang can handle it by himself."

Xia Shouzhong didn't want to ask any more questions, and he had to go to ventilate Chen Ruiwen according to the queen's arrangement, so he hurried away.

Sure enough, the Empress took Wu Zhao into the Imperial Garden not long after, intending to go sightseeing, and had a chance encounter with Chen Ruiwen, pretending to be very destined.

The queen pulled Wu Zhao courteously, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's go over there, the weather is warmer now, and a lot of flowers are blooming in the garden, look over there, are they pear blossoms, really? It's beautiful, let's go and have a look."

The queen pulled Wu Zhao forward, and soon saw a pear tree surrounded by pear blossoms. Someone was standing under the tree, wasn't it Chen Ruiwen?Wearing a suit of armor, he was punching under a tree!

When Wu Zhao saw it, he immediately felt embarrassed for Chen Ruiwen, and he was very deliberate. At noon, Chen Ruiwen was a general, and it was fine to wander around the Imperial Garden in a very boring way, but he even punched impromptu...

Chen Ruiwen was tall and strong, born with Kong Wu's strength. At this time, a gust of wind passed, and the pear blossoms rustled down, falling on Chen Ruiwen's head and face, but Wu Zhao couldn't help but compare this picture with the previous picture of the king dancing sword under the tree of Beijing County Well, it's okay, it's not just embarrassing, but it's completely unsightly.

Chen Ruiwen was still performing punching hard, unaware that in Wu Zhao's eyes, he seemed to be a busker.

At this moment, King Beijing was also in the garden, but he didn't show his face. Seeing that Chen Ruiwen was going to have a "coincident encounter" with Wu Zhao, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The empress said in surprise, "Isn't this Ruiwen?"

Chen Ruiwen was also very surprised. He went to pay his respects to the empress, and then showed himself Kong Wu in front of Wu Zhao.

As a result, Chen Rui Wenxing walked over in a hurry, and before reaching the queen and Wu Zhao, he suddenly bent his knees, and for some reason, "Ouch!", he knelt down on the ground directly, and gave a great gift, "Plop!" One ring.

The Empress was frightened, and Wu Zhao was also taken aback. Chen Ruiwen thought he was not careful, so he quickly got up, and said in an embarrassing manner, "Meet the Empress!"

The queen coughed and said: "You child, you are so well-behaved, you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony, just get up."

Just as Chen Ruiwen got up, he felt his knees sore again, "Plop!" There was another sound immediately, and he fell face down again. This time, he was closer to the queen, Chen Ruiwen grabbed subconsciously, and almost smashed the queen's skirt It was broken, and the queen's cloak was removed with a "hiss—"...

Crispy!

Wu Zhao couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi", she could see clearly that someone was making trouble, but the little devil didn't show up, he just hid behind a tree and used two small stones.

The mischievous king of Beijing County clapped his hands lightly, threw away all the pebbles in his hands, and just met Wu Zhao's eyes, but his face was calm, and he smiled softly at Wu Zhao, his eyes were full of tenderness It's like water, as if it wasn't him who caused the trouble just now...
