Consort Zhanzhao

Soon Wu Chengye came with the master chef from the imperial dining room.

Unlike what Zhao Bijia imagined, this master chef is not only not fat at all, he can even be called thin.

But it's understandable, working in the palace is stressful.

The master was a little nervous when he came in, although he would be called out when there was a big banquet in the palace during festivals and festivals, and was praised by the emperor in public.But at that time, there were courtiers around, and there were so many people, they were nothing more than thanking Long En, etc., unlike today...

Although Eunuch Wu also said earlier that it was because of the things that Princess Wanshou sent into the palace, but... this matter is not easy to handle.

Zhao Bijia is completely healed now, the little thoughts in her heart have long since disappeared without a trace, and now there is only one: seize every opportunity and kick out those who have no good intentions for her!

"Let's talk." Wu Chengye said.

The master took a deep breath, "There is something wrong with the things brought in earlier." He raised his eyes to look at Emperor Renzong, but he couldn't see anything other than calm and expressionless, not sure if he wanted him to stop here, or I hope he gets to the bottom of it.

However, although Emperor Renzong's face could not be seen, the words of Princess Wanshou could be heard.

"Say! What's going on? Why is there something wrong with the things he brought back from Jinling so hard?" Princess Wanshou was a little agitated.

It's just that in Zhao Bijia's view, it's not so much anger as worry, and of course half of it is pretending.

Something went wrong with the food that was brought into the palace for the emperor... Hehe.Should!

"Speak." Renzong's speech was a bit slow, but it had the ability to calm people.

"Return to Your Majesty." The master took another breath, trying not to tremble in his voice, "Two things were brought in earlier, a Jinhua ham, which smells inside, and a jar of drunk crabs that are sour..."

Although he is not a cook in Jinling, people improve these things every year, and even if no one improves, he knows that they are smelly and sour, so he must not eat them.

The pearl hairpin on Princess Wanshou's head shook, and her voice was very oppressive, "How is it possible! Is it—" You moved your hands and feet.

But she also knew that the second half of the sentence would be unpleasant, so she stopped abruptly.

Zhao Bijia glanced at her, who would tamper with that thing of yours?Are you stupid?Besides, you didn't check the things before they were sent to the palace, so you just believed that Li Huailu, who looked like a certain second-generation style, was basically ignorant

Princess Wanshou received Zhao Bijia's contempt, but she had to hold back.

Seeing that no one wanted to ask anymore, Wu Chengye took the master out.

Concubine Zhang Gui smiled, "Hey, maybe it's the first time the child didn't do things well?" She restrained herself from showing too much gloat.

Concubine Zhang patted Zhao Bijia's hand, "Fortunately, when you went out, your father sent a lot of people by your side."

This means that the emperor can know people, and the people he sends are loyal and useful.

In short, no matter what time it is, it is still very comfortable to listen to others say good things about yourself. The corners of Renzong's mouth curled up slightly, and he said: "Everyone who goes out with you will be rewarded!"

This side is happy, but Princess Wanshou's face is almost unbearable, but Zhang Guifei's words gave her a new way of thinking.

She hurriedly stood up, "It's all my fault. This child has been filial since he was a child, and his temperament is too pure. Maybe he didn't even know he was cheated."

Although Zhao Bijia really wanted to laugh out loud, but in front of her father, her "ignorant girl" persona hasn't been broken yet, so she can only lower her head and pretend she's not there.

Emperor Renzong had already received a wave of news, at least about what happened on the Qinhuai River that night, the governor of Jinling Prefecture told him every word.Renzong even took the time to ask Yang He'an, as well as the guards at the time.

In short, Renzong felt that the word "chunliang" should be used on his princess Wuzhi.

So when someone used these two words to describe the culprit of the ignorant girl who was trying to deceive him, Emperor Renzong's face was a bit uneasy.

However, this changed face, and in the eyes of different people, there are different explanations. Princess Wanshou was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue her, but she didn't expect to be robbed of the conversation by Concubine Zhang.

"Don't mention it soon." Zhang Guifei knew that the emperor had no good impression of that Li Huailu, and she felt that it was the best choice to force the emperor to swallow this breath at this moment, not to take advantage of such a small matter. .

"Speaking out to call Princess Wanshou shameless." Zhang Guifei glanced at her proudly, and persuaded, "There are also things that Bijia brought back, you can taste them when you stay for dinner at night."

Empress Dowager Li acted as a spectator, stood up at this time, and said to Zhao Bijia: "I'll go back if you're fine, it's cold, take care of yourself."

Several people sent the queen mother away, and when she left, she took Princess Longevity with her.

Renzong winked, and Concubine Zhang followed, leaving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was left behind by the princess.

"Taoist Lingyun often enters the palace recently?" Zhao Bijia pulled Zhao Xuan and refused to ask him to leave.

It was so easy for Zhao Xuan to be forgotten by his own father once, and he was thinking of taking advantage of this afternoon to have a good time, but unexpectedly, he was caught by his sister again.

"Let go of me, what a shame! You messed up Gu's clothes!"

Seeing him like this, Zhao Bijia softened her hands, and touched his face twice, thinking that although she is not a younger sister, her skin is really nice, tender and elastic.

Zhao Xuan was flustered for a while, eager to break free from Zhao Bijia's clutches, covered his face with his hands and said: "Not long after you left, he went to the palace to ask his father to see the sky at night, and it was going to rain heavily, but within three days it really rained After three days of rain, the Jinshui River was about to overflow. Since that time, he has been coming three or four times a month."

Zhao Bijia frowned, it sounded like a good thing that benefited the country and the people, but why didn't she feel uncomfortable?

"What did he do in the palace? Father asked you to follow?"

Zhao Xuan nodded, "He comes here at least once every ten days to teach Father a few postures to keep in good health." Zhao Xuan became interested and raised his voice two points, "Father is really useful after practicing! The day before yesterday he took me to ride a horse It's over!"

"No alchemy? Didn't take medicine?"

Zhao Xuan looked at her like looking at a fool, "Father is not sick."

Zhao Bijia couldn't figure out more and more what this Taoist priest was going to do?At the beginning, he was aggressive, and he could still see a little bit of bad intentions, but later he knew so much about the Miao Gu, Zhao Bijia always felt that he had other plans, but the Gu was solved, and he asked for 1000 taels of silver as a reward...

Now she hooked up with her father again... What on earth is he going to do?

Zhao Bijia wanted Zhao Xuan to watch for her, but when she looked down, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had left at some point, and she was left alone in the room.

Zhao Bijia sighed, and suddenly remembered what Renzong said just now to praise the guards, she hurriedly got up, and told Yang and An to go to Kaifeng Mansion.

And having to name and criticize Zhan Zhao, he actually left!And he still left with the excuse that his duty time was up!

Simply unbearable!

Zhao Bijia hasn't been to Kaifeng Mansion for several months. Of course, Kaifeng Mansion hasn't changed much in the past few months, except for one thing.

The imperial examination will be held in March next year, and the Gongyuan next to Kaifeng Mansion, as well as the bulletin board for the rankings, have begun to be rebuilt.Originally, because it was the gate of the Yamen, it was a bit solemn and solemn, but Kaifeng Mansion, where not many people came, seemed very lively because of this group of handymen.

As soon as Zhao Bijia appeared at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, she was welcomed in.

Half a year ago, Zhao Bijia disappeared in Kaifeng Mansion. Although it was later proved to be an oolong, it was also a heavy blow to everyone in Kaifeng Mansion who claimed to be the largest yamen in the world. Therefore, as long as they saw the princess later, they could not wait for Li San The outer three floors were surrounded, not to mention people, even flies could not fly around her.

Zhao Bijia was welcomed to the inner courtyard, just in time to meet Zhan Zhao who came out in a hurry, the two looked at each other, Zhan Zhao said: "Princess, please."

Although the princess knows that Zhan Zhao's behavior is normal and should be in public, why is she so upset?

Zhao Bijia deeply reflected on herself, and subconsciously shook the jade bracelet in her hand with a strong sense of presence. She must not be subdued just because she took this one!

And you can't feel guilty just because you accepted this!

Sitting in the small hall, Zhao Bijia watched the servant girl bring tea and refreshments, while Zhan Zhao was still standing respectfully, coughed and said, "Guard Zhan, sit down."

This tone is not right, it's not that it's not serious, but it's too serious.

It's just that few people can guess what Zhan Zhao is thinking.

He cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare."

Zhao Bijia looked around, only Yang and An were there, she smiled slightly, and her tone became more relaxed, "I came today to honor your father's order, to praise you, thank you for guarding all the way."

Zhan Zhao said "Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Princess", and sat on half a stool.

It's just that Zhao Bijia and him... After all, they are not too familiar with each other, and they can guess what Zhan Weiwei thinks, but...

Zhao Bijia gave a smirk in her heart, and twitched, "I didn't expect you to like this~"

Zhan Zhao glanced at her subconsciously, and Zhao Bijia smiled, "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you. Shall we pretend not to know each other well?"

"Princess." Zhan Zhao's tone was particularly serious, and he said, "Minister...subordinate..." After hesitating for a long time, or mustering up the courage, he said, "I'm afraid it will hurt the princess's reputation. Marriage proposal, please Your Majesty... betroth the princess to me."

Zhao Bijia originally thought that the last few words he said should be vague, but he didn't expect him to speak so firmly, he didn't even look away, as firm as... as if he hid her in the cave that day.

Zhao Bijia suddenly felt her eyes a little sore, "I know." She stretched out her hand and shook the bracelet, "Now we can't let the news go, and we can't let my father know that you are doing well..."

Zhao Bijia suddenly sighed, "You have to be so determined, I believe in you!"

Zhao Bijia couldn't see it, but Zhan Zhao clearly noticed that the corners of his eyes were twitching... and then he knew why.

The princess reached out and patted his shoulder, or half-patted and half-touched, without stopping, and said: "Guard Zhan has worked hard, I don't know what kind of reward do you want?"

Being molested like this by his beloved princess, let alone using the hand that is wearing the bracelet of the Zhan family's daughter-in-law, Zhan Zhao felt a little uncomfortable all over, he just felt that he had to use more and more strength to restrain himself , Just when he wanted to jump away again, Zhao Bijia suddenly spoke.

"Where's Bai Yutang? I still have to praise him."

Zhan Zhao just now used all the strength in his body to restrain himself, and there are only two words in his head: restraint!

But now the princess suddenly let go, as if the opponent in the tug-of-war had suddenly conceded defeat, Zhan Zhao felt that he was thrown out of the way, and was stunned.

There is only one question in Zhan Zhao's mind now: Are you going to praise him like you praise me?
