Consort Zhanzhao

Not only did Bai Yutang go out to investigate Li Huailu's whereabouts, but Shao Yong also sent someone out. Bai Yutang's martial arts skills are strong, and the person Shao Yong sent was bold and careful, and the two partnered to find out the matter quickly.

Li Huailu found another inn that was not as good to rest, and his subordinates hired a doctor for him. When his face recovered, the first thing he did was to beat up the person who went to invite the county magistrate, saying that he was delaying the work .

Zhao Bijia couldn't help but sneered when she heard this, "He's not too stupid."

But after saying this sentence, there is nothing else to express, which made Bai Yutang who was waiting on the side a little itchy. If he let go of his previous temper, he might not be able to do anything, but since he went to Kaifeng Mansion, every time The first time I want to do something, the black face of Lord Bao and the white face of Mr. Gongsun always come to my mind.

Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is one more class!

Of course, the most important thing was that Zhan Zhao was watching by his side, otherwise Bai Yutang felt that with his own means, that Li Huailu would never be able to spot it.

The snow has been falling, and it has accumulated a thick layer at night, and now it will not last for three to five days. In desperation, Shao Yong sent one person back to the capital to report the news, and the rest of the people stayed here with Zhao Bijia Live in the small yard first.

Early the next morning, while Zhao Bijia was still having breakfast, she heard someone making noise outside. Although the voice was loud, it sounded vague, as if she had been beaten and swollen.

"Miss Zhao! It's Xiaosheng's fault. Xiaosheng kidnapped his family members who committed crimes and deliberately apologized to Miss Zhao for coming. I hope I can see Miss Zhao."

Yang and An were cold-faced. When the county magistrate left yesterday, he said that he would arrange a team of handymen to watch over him. Why... He walked outside in two steps and saw that Li Huailu did not come in. , and if it wasn't because the handymen surrounded the inn, no one would dare to pass by, and it was quiet, his voice would not be clear here.

Li Huailu still remembered the person who slapped him hard, he couldn't help being a little flustered when he saw him. Although the servants around him knew it was useless, they still bite the bullet and surrounded him.

Yang Hean snorted coldly, their eyes already said everything.Li Huailu shuddered and cupped his hands, "I'm leaving now."

Two servants came up and carried away the man who was bound and kneeling on the ground. Li Huailu turned his head three times at a step, and finally called out again, "Miss Zhao, Xiaosheng will come back tomorrow!"

In the room, Zhao Bijia was holding a delicate and small Kung Fu tea set to cultivate his sentiments. Hearing this voice, two drops of tea trembled.

She put down the teapot and sighed, "Alas...Princess Zhen Guo was blocked in the house by Li Huailu for three days..."

"I can't bear it anymore, this fool is so caring."

Bai Yutang, who was by the side, laughed, and was a little more anxious to go back to Beijing to see Zhao Bijia's dark appearance.

Zhan Zhao shook the snow off his body and entered the house, took a small cup of tea from Zhao Bijia and drank it, and said, "The snow is a little lighter. This is the first snow this year, and it probably won't stand up. Let's go when the snow melts."

No one dissented, or someone wanted to, but no one dared to speak out.

Zhao Bijia looked at Zhan Zhao very sadly, saying that the two of them in the capital would be like the fateful mandarin ducks and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Although it would not be possible to see each other only once a year, they definitely couldn't just see each other all day long like now. See, say what you want, say what you want, hug... Naturally, you can't hug.

This is not the point, the point is that Zhan Zhao didn't say anything, even though he had already taken away Zhan Zhao's sword and the bracelet given to his daughter-in-law by the Zhan family, the princess who heard Zhan Zhao's words that he was worried and so on, started to say nothing again. I feel safe.

When will Zhan Zhao have something new?She can't live by memories.

Thinking of this, she gave Bai Yutang a hard look. Recently, Bai Yutang, who had felt more and more redundant, sighed, stood up and said, "I'll go see what I'm having for lunch."

After leaving the door, Bai Yutang stopped Yang He'an who had just come back from admonishing Li Huailu, and said with a smile, "It's very aggrieved to stay in this small inn for the past two days. Let's go, let's fight!"

Yang and An's eyes both mean "you're crazy", but who would refuse such a pleasant thing?The smile on his face was joyful yet tinged with contempt, which made Bai Yutang very sad.

The movement outside could also be heard inside. Seeing Bai Yutang's sacrifice, Zhao Bijia couldn't help but look at Yan Zhanzhao again, and saw him sitting calmly opposite her, holding the tea the princess had just brewed in his hand, gently Sip back and forth.

Zhao Bijia sighed, falling in love is really hard~

Zhan Zhao suddenly put down his glass, glanced at Zhao Bijia, and asked, "I wonder when Your Majesty is in the best mood?"

"Huh?" Zhao Bijia didn't react immediately.

Zhan Zhao continued: "Is it time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new? Or is it the time for the new champion to go to the palace? Or is it the Qianqiu Festival?"

Zhao Bijia still didn't react, but she heard Zhan Zhao on the other side sighed very softly, so lightly that Zhao Bijia thought she didn't hear it.

"Princess Ming Yi said that she wants to marry the champion, and the champion will come out in April next year. She is your older sister, and she will probably marry before you."

Wanting to understand what Zhan Zhao said, Zhao Bijia felt himself on fire again with a bang.But when he turned around, he was tortured by his temper and wanted to burn it, but there was no more firewood.

The first sentence asked when the emperor was in a good mood and wanted to propose marriage, and the second sentence mentioned Ming Yi's marriage, which meant that if he wanted to propose marriage, he had to wait until she got married.

Zhao Bijia didn't know whether she was shy or excited. On the one hand, she felt that Zhan Zhao was very reliable, and when it came to getting married, she was still so...calm. On the other hand, she felt...well, although it is said that love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan, but!

Zhao Bijia felt that he had a broad chest, thick muscles, and strong arms, and he had never hugged him before!Besides, she even acquiesced, how could she be playing hooligans!

She gave Zhan Zhao a sad look, but said nothing.

"Mr. Gongsun said that it will take at least half a year for the princess to prepare for marriage, and she still needs to prepare a house. If the number one scholar in April next year really achieves good things with Princess Mingyi, she will get married at the end of the year. Add the first half year, um... until later It's the middle of the year."

Zhao Bijia suddenly felt that Zhan Zhao was not calm, he was already nervous and even talked more.

Perhaps it was because someone had already persuaded Zhao Bijia to suddenly feel that everything in her body was courage except courage.

"Don't worry." Zhao Bijia stepped forward and took Zhan Zhao's hand, still a little excited: "I won't let you wait until the middle of next year."

Zhao Bijia was robbed of the lines that Zhan Zhao had uttered, and Zhao Bijia felt a little ecstasy in her heart, thinking that her role as a domineering princess had finally stood up, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao... looked like he didn't appreciate it, and said in a solemn tone with a bit of pain, "This matter must be hit at once." After he finished speaking, he still hesitated, as if there was still a second half of the sentence.

But even without the second half of the sentence, Zhao Bijia could hear that Zhan Zhao seemed to think that she was not reliable.In an instant, the expression on Zhao Bijia's face became wonderful.

She glanced at Zhan Zhao, "Give~me~recruit~consort~horse~" I disagree that no one can be a consort!

Zhan Zhao sighed, the expression of nervousness and hesitation just disappeared completely, and replaced it with a dignified expression he had never seen before, emphasizing word by word: "As long as the princess is interested in me, no matter whether it is after meritorious service, the prime minister's son , or the number one scholar in this subject, they are not opponents."

God!He was just thinking about it——Zhao Bijia's cheeks were hot to the tip of her ears, and she was cowardly again in an instant, and asked sweetly, "Are you talking about martial arts?"

But the villain in her heart is almost swollen, I want to say hug!

With a smile in his eyes, Zhan Zhao nodded, "It's indeed martial arts."

Zhao Bijia looked sadly at the small teacup on Zhan Zhao's fingertips, the lotus leaf cup produced by the official kiln, and wanted to smash it...

The snow stopped during the second night, but they waited a day before setting out on the road.

Zhan Zhao rode a horse to guard the princess's carriage, felt the different bumps between the horses, sighed and said, "It's already freezing. It's only the end of October."

Does this mean that this winter will be extraordinarily cold?As soon as Zhao Bijia realized this sentence, she was interrupted by Li Huailu who followed behind.

"Miss Zhao." Li Huailu was riding a horse, but was blocked by a group of guards in the distance, so he could only shout at the top of his voice.

Three days later, his face was no longer swollen, and his speech was no longer vague, but he was still chasing after Zhao Bijia.

"You and I are going to Bianliang, why not go on the road together, and we can be a companion. If something happens on the road, there will be someone on the left and right to help."

Not to mention Zhao Bijia, even Shao Yong couldn't stand it anymore.

He looked at Li Huailu's group of gangsters, "You want to rub the bodyguards!"

Li Huailu smiled shyly, and suddenly felt that this reason is indeed good on the surface, at least it is less likely to make people feel disgusted than his so-called "a fair lady, a gentleman is good".

Li Huailu cupped his hands and smiled at Shao Yong, saying: "When we go to Bianliang, Princess Wanshou will thank you very much."

Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Bijia sighed and said, "I can't bear it this time. It's only five or six days away from Bianliang, and the law and order are very good. He slandered my father's rule so much."

"Yang He'an! Zhan Zhao! Bai Yutang!" Zhao Bijia pointed at three people with the strongest martial arts, and said, "Go and show him how good the law and order are here! Let him see how good the law and order are here! Strength, he can still go to Bianliang well with so many things!"

Zhan Zhao understood what Zhao Bijia meant. Yang and An never asked the reason for what Zhao Bijia said, so as long as they could hear that it meant letting him beat him up, it was enough.

Bai Yutang was the only one, and while slandering the princess enough, he thought that although the one named was Li Huailu's subordinate, if he attacked Li Huailu while taking advantage of the chaos, would he be scolded by the princess?

Thinking about it this way, the speed slowed down a little, and the two in front of him had already knocked down several people.

It was originally a wine bag and rice bag, and now there are not many left for Bai Yutang. While speeding up, he half sighed and half explained, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer."

After teaching Li Huailu a lesson and ensuring that he would never be able to catch up with them before arriving in Bianliang, Zhao Bijia finally set out on the road with ease.

Just looking at Zhan Zhao, who was upright and very dignified riding a horse, Zhao Bijia felt a little uncomfortable, why wasn't he in a hurry?

This time in Bianliang, it's really hard to see each other, and it's winter again, if autumn and spring are okay, she can still be said to be relaxing when she runs out to play.Once it's winter, Bianliang's winter is still so cold, she still runs out of the palace every three days, even if her father is so busy at the end of the year that his nap time is shortened to half an hour, it can still be seen that something is wrong.

Zhao Bijia tilted her head, she was still young anyway, so she was not in a hurry.

After another five days of walking on the road, on the afternoon of the fifth day, Zhao Bijia finally saw the gate of Bianliang City again.

For a while, she herself felt a little emotional. She went out on the day just after the [-]th of August, and now she came back only at the beginning of November. It was only two and a half months away, and there was at least one and a half months left. On the way, but this one has a lot of experience... Zhao Bijia shook her head, and she didn't believe it herself.

Zhan Zhao and his party sent her to the gate of the palace and separated. Although they knew that it was in public, Zhan Zhao didn't say anything and it still made people feel a little uncomfortable. It was just that she was homesick and timid. Zhao Bijia felt a little ups and downs. Zhan Zhao put it aside.

Looking at the sign of Fenglan Palace, she was a little afraid to go in, and looked back at Yang and An, "Why don't you go back and take a shower first?"

Yang and An hesitated for a moment, nodded and wanted to turn around.

"I'll just talk!" Zhao Bijia said, "Go back by yourself." After she finished speaking, she entered Fenglan Palace.

The news of the princess's return to the capital had naturally spread to the palace. Concubine Zhang was holding Emperor Renzong and Zhao Xuan to wait, and there were a lot of dishes on the table.

Seeing Zhao Bijia just... come in quietly, the three people waiting in the palace opposite were a little stunned.

The room fell silent for a moment.

"You just came back like this?"

"Father, mother and concubine."

The voices of Zhang Guifei and Zhao Bijia sounded at the same time, and they explained at the same time.

"Why is no one passing it on?"

"I didn't say anything."

Zhao Xuan, who was always good at spoiling the atmosphere, laughed, "Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry."

Zhao Bijia walked briskly to the table, as if she just went out to play in Bianliang for a day. "Why do I feel that you are hungry all day long, and the palace is short of your food and drink?"

Zhao Xuan was at a loss for words for a while, and explained for a while, "I have a long body."

Emperor Renzong looked at his daughter who was the same as in his memory, nodded and said: "It can be seen that everyone on the road is doing their best."

The meal was enjoyable, Zhao Bijia hadn't tasted the handicrafts of the palace for a long time, so naturally she relished it, and Zhao Xuan was in the stage where half-children would eat the old man to death, and her appetite was also very good.

As for Renzong and Concubine Zhang Gui, seeing how caring their sons and daughters are, of course they have a good appetite.

After dinner, Zhao Bijia stayed in Concubine Zhang's palace.

Seeing that the concubine mother took out a lot of pearl powder, honey, and powder made from unknown Chinese medicinal materials to apply to her face, Zhao Bijia hurriedly said: "I just came back, and I haven't even digested the food yet."

Concubine Zhang sternly said, "Look at you, who lives and sleeps in the open air, your face is not as pale as before, and even your hands are thicker than before." Concubine Zhang grabbed her hand, "You're even going to cut your nails bald!"

Zhao Bijia breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he didn't see it.

"How do you look like a princess!" Concubine Zhang pressed her on the bed, called the two maids to come over, and then touched her.

"You have been away for the past two months. Concubine Miao has nothing to do, so she dragged Ming Yi to join your father. Ming Yi has also reached her age, and Concubine Miao wanted to find a good son-in-law for her. "When Concubine Zhang Guifei said this, she couldn't help but feel her strength increase by three points.

In order to ensure the correct position, Zhao Bijia hurriedly said, "Getting a son-in-law under the list? This is not very reliable. What if the champion is a bad old man?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei heard that her daughter was focused on her, and patted her with a smile like a flower, "Don't make such big moves, the things on your face should fall off."

"It's not important, the key is your father's permission. Now Concubine Miao can use chicken feathers as arrows. Her natal family is always looking for excuses to invite some young talents to the party."

Zhao Bijia hummed, but she didn't expect Concubine Zhang to pat her again, "Why are you not in a hurry?"

Zhao Bijia gave her a sad look, it was you who told me not to move, besides... besides... besides, the young talent your daughter has a crush on... has been by your daughter's side for the past two months.

"This can't be done! She's too vicious. You are only one year younger than her, and it's almost time to choose a son-in-law. If you let her continue like this, won't you have to choose among the rest of her picks in the future?" ?" Zhang Guifei gritted her teeth, "I can't swallow this breath!"

Zhao Bijia seriously considered whether to confess to Concubine Zhang Guifei or not, but on second thought, now is not a good opportunity.

As soon as I came back, I told my mother that, I feel a little ashamed that I hooked up with Zhan Zhao during the trip...Of course she didn't deny it, but!But the two of them obviously hadn't gone out... so what!

Zhao Bijia recalled the time when she was kidnapped by Bai Yutang, and recalled the Juque sword left by Zhan Zhao, and felt her face start to burn again.

So just wait a little longer...

"It's the end of the year, and she won't last long." Zhao Bijia said, "Who's family can't celebrate the New Year? Besides, she cast the net so widely, even if Mingyi is a princess, but on such a large scale, all the men in Bianliang were screened out." Once again, even if she was willing in her heart at the time, would she not hate her after realizing it afterwards?"

Concubine Zhang immediately laughed, "My princess is still smart. In the past two days, when they invite people again, there are not many people going, and they all find various reasons to refuse. Even those who have been to the previous few people these days Thank you guests behind closed doors, without mentioning the word princess."

Zhao Bijia breathed a sigh of relief, in order not to ask Concubine Zhang to bring up the topic of the princess choosing a son-in-law, she told Concubine Zhang about meeting Li Huailu on the road.

Concubine Zhang's expression immediately turned ferocious, much more exaggerated than when she mentioned Concubine Miao and Ming Yi just now.

Zhao Bijia was so frightened that she sat up. Concubine Zhang Guifei looked at her grown-up daughter and thought that her words and actions had matured a lot when she came back from going out this time. old grudge."

There is gossip to listen to, Zhao Bijia regained her spirits, but she was pushed down again by Concubine Zhang, and she said: "When Empress Guo was deposed, your father originally wanted to make me his queen."

What he said at the beginning was extremely heavy, and Zhao Bijia didn't dare to speak up, and when Concubine Zhang adjusted herself, she said again: "Who knows that there are a lot of opposition voices, the two main points are that I have no children, and that I am not born enough. "

Zhao Bijia calculated when Empress Guo was abolished, it seems... At that time, her mother and concubine had already given birth to a child?

"Your two elder sisters were not raised, one was raised until she was three years old and the other died after her first birthday." Concubine Zhang Guifei sighed, even if the latter two children had grown up, but when it came to the first two, My heart still hurts.

Concubine Zhang Guifei took a long breath, "Although there are courtiers who wrote letters, Princess Wanshou also contributed a lot. She went to the palace to see the Queen Mother Li and said a lot behind closed doors. I am not lucky. I even gave birth to two children. It’s a daughter who hasn’t been supported yet, and said that my father is just an eighth-rank official, or from the eighth rank, how can the daughter of such a family have the virtue of a queen?”

Concubine Zhang slammed the table heavily, "My father is an official, and he got it by himself as a Jinshi. But it's not as good as her reincarnation." Although her tone was flat, the hatred contained in it was not small at all.

Zhao Bijia exhaled lightly, and held Zhang Guifei's hand with her hand full of honey and pearl powder.

"Later, there were more and more voices of opposition, and your father didn't come to see me for those two days. I knew there was no hope for the concubine, so I simply used the reason of the loss of two daughters to take the initiative to ask for a resignation, which is considered to have taken the initiative to relieve your father. .Later, I had you and your younger brother, the position of queen...even if I can't sit on it alive, I can still sit on it after death."

Concubine Zhang Guifei narrowed her eyes, "She really lingers! More than ten years have passed, and she still dares to come looking for trouble!"

Zhao Bijia said: "Actually, it can't be said that she took the initiative this time, then Li Huailu—"

"You are stupid!" Concubine Zhang said bitterly: "In the first half of this year, there was news from Princess Wanshou's mansion that she went out to eat and enjoy flowers by herself, and she often said that there was a proud junior in the concubine's family who was young. What does it mean that you are talented and educated but not yet married, what does that mean you can't see?"

"Furthermore," Concubine Zhang took a sip from her teacup, "As you said, you were serious when you met him a few times, and even asked people around you to give him a slap in the face, and even slapped him across the face. If you think about it carefully, if you hadn't revealed your identity, how could he stick to it like a dog's skin plaster?"

Zhao Bijia was a little stunned for a moment, but she felt that her mother's words were too arousing for others, couldn't it be that she was good-looking?

But she only dared to think about it in her heart, and pretended to be innocent on the surface, "I can fall in love with him? Unless I'm blind!"

Concubine Zhang Gui was very satisfied with her statement, patted her hand in relief, and then washed it in the basin in disgust, "You are getting old, don't be deceived by others. I will tell you To be honest, counting the court ministers, harem concubines, and royal family members, there are absolutely no more than five people in the world who earn more than you."

Although Zhao Bijia had already forgotten about it, but in front of her own mother's earnest eyes, she had to put on an extremely surprised expression.

Concubine Zhang Gui smiled and nodded, "You have to keep your eyes open, and don't be used by people with ulterior motives."

Zhao Bijia nodded solemnly, "I will definitely find an upright person with good character and good appearance."

After finishing speaking, I added another sentence, at least on the surface it looks very upright...

Concubine Zhang Gui hummed, seeing that the time was almost up, she washed her face herself.

Zhao Bijia couldn't help her curiosity, and asked again, "Why was her son-in-law relegated?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei sneered, "You have grown up, I dare to tell you about this, her son-in-law has a relationship with her wet nurse."

This was the most shocking news Zhao Bijia heard tonight.

The princess' wet nurse, and the princess' son-in-law.Even if the son-in-law is generally a few years older than the princess, but the wet nurse... Zhao Bijia thought about her several wet nurses, at least they all looked 20 or [-] years older than herself, this taste is too strong.

"No." Zhao Bijia grabbed Concubine Zhang's hand, "She can bear it?"

Concubine Zhang sneered and said: "She later gave birth to three sons for the son-in-law. The son-in-law is handsome, and after making meritorious service, it is not so easy to reconcile, but we don't see each other very often."

"Later the son-in-law died, and she lived alone, and all she could think of was the benefits of the son-in-law. Remember, you can't eat your face! When choosing a son-in-law, you can't choose someone who is too good-looking!" Concubine Zhang used this sentence Ended the conversation tonight, "It's cold outside, sleep with me today, and tell me what happened outside? When I was young, I was not as lucky as you to go around."

While Zhao Bijia racked her brains to tell Concubine Zhang what she could say, she couldn't help drawing the image of Zhan Zhao in her mind.

By the way, what is the standard for a concubine's "too good-looking"?

Does it matter that almost all the little ladies in the palace like him... Does it count if you can brush your face when you buy things in Bianliang City...

Or find a reason to deal with the nurse...Zhao Bijia covered her face, it's not that she doesn't trust Zhan Zhao, it's that she doesn't trust her nurse...
