Chapter 621: Willing to do this

In the back hall of Weiyang Palace, Princess Zhaoyang originally wanted to take Mrs. Zhen’s wife and others to Zhaoyang Palace, but the Queen Mother stayed behind.

"Tell me about it."

"What do you mean..."

Princess Zhaoyang pinched the Queen Mother's shoulders diligently and opened her eyes after hearing the words. He asked back with big eyes, looking a little well-behaved.

"Stop pretending to be stupid. From the moment you took the initiative to invite him, I saw that something was wrong. Could it be that you want me to call those people in for interrogation one by one? What else do you want? How long have you been hiding this from me?"

The Queen Mother did not accept Princess Zhaoyang's trick of being sweet and obedient at all, and looked at her coldly.

Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang smiled, hugged the Queen Mother's arm and said: "I know that I can't hide anything from you..."

"Humph, then you Why don’t you recruit them from the truth?”

“Well, Qingran will tell the truth. Because Zhenyuan Hou had a life-saving grace for Qingran, we went through life and death in the desert before returning to the Han Dynasty, so now Qingran and him can be said to be life-and-death friends."

"Friends?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhaoyang in confusion. Princess, Duke Zhaoyang gave a bright smile in return.

The Queen Mother realized something. She solemnly said to Princess Zhaoyang: "You are a princess who has not left the palace, and he is a courtier with a wife. Your two identities are very different. , how to be friends? Even if there is a life-saving friendship, the friendship between gentlemen should be as light as water. Like you... meeting in private, you are not afraid of being laughed at if word spreads?"

Princess Zhaoyang heard this He never thought, "First of all, Qingran is not a princess who has not left the palace. Qingran has been out of the palace and had a marriage. Secondly, who Qingran wants to be friends with and whom he wants to meet is Qingran's own business. He is not afraid of it." People laugh at her, but there is nothing to laugh at. Qingran has not been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, nor can she be a lady."

The Queen Mother suddenly didn't know how to reply.

She originally only noticed a little clue, so she tried to test it out. Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoyang didn't seem to hide her intentions, which made her heart sink slightly.

After all, she couldn't bear to scold her, and the Queen Mother sighed: "Why are you doing this? It was you who asked me not to embarrass him, and now you are the one who is so entangled, but I don't think so. You know what to do."

Hearing the compassion in the Queen Mother's words, Princess Zhaoyang gently leaned her head on the Queen Mother's shoulder and whispered: "It was then, and now is now. The imperial grandmother didn't know what kind of person he was. She didn't know that that day outside the Great Wall, when Qingran was deeply involved in the chaos of swords and weapons and was about to be imprisoned. At that time, heSeeing him descending from the sky with a team of light cavalry, in Qingran's eyes, he looked so heroic and invincible.

This is Qingran’s fate. If Qingran is willing to do this, the imperial grandmother will not have to worry about me. Qingran, enjoy it. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned. How could she not know what kind of person Jia Lian was? It was no exaggeration to say that he was a strange man in the world. If not for this, she would not have known that she had a wife. Under such circumstances, she also tried to select him as Princess Zhaoyang's consort.

As for Princess Zhaoyang's statement that she was in danger outside the Great Wall and Jia Lian led troops to rescue her, although she had not personally witnessed it You can imagine it when you see it.

Perhaps, it’s the same feeling as when she saw the young general flying over at the Prince’s Courtyard after being framed by Concubine Li and being framed.< br />
After thinking about it, the Queen Mother said seriously: "It is impossible for him to give up his rotten wife. It is useless if you are willing to do so. You will only waste your life in vain. ”

Although the Queen Mother is the great-aunt of Princess Zhaoyang, the age difference is only more than ten years. Ever since Princess Zhaoyang became sensible, the conversation between the two has been very equal and casual, and the Queen Mother rarely treats her as her elder. They claim their own identity.

Therefore, the grandfather and grandson get along like mother and daughter, and like sisters, and there is not much generation gap or estrangement.

Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said : "The so-called lifelong life, if you just marry someone you are not happy with, or a mediocre person, and spend your whole life raising your husband and raising children, it doesn't make much sense. It would be better for Qing Ran to do what he wants to do while he is still young and cherish a time that he wants to cherish. "

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at her speechlessly. But then she felt that Princess Zhaoyang's thoughts were so out of the ordinary and showed transparency and open-mindedness that she couldn't judge for a while. Is it right or wrong.

Even thinking about the first half of her life, she was still confused.

"Royal grandmother? "

The Queen Mother came to her senses and asked: "Have you ever crossed the thunder pond? "

Ah...

Even though Princess Zhaoyang was generous, she was immediately embarrassed by the Queen Mother's question. She quickly shook her head and said: "No, no. Look at what the Imperial Grandmother said. Didn't Qingran just say it? I'm just grateful for Marquis Zhenyuan's life-saving grace and sincerely want to be a confidant and friend with him. There's no such thing as what the Imperial Grandmother said..."

The Queen Mother nodded, not sure if she believed it or not, "That's good. Since you have your heart set on something, when the opportunity is right, I will personally propose it to your Imperial Grandfather and ask him to come forward to help you get married.

Hmph, I want to see if he dares to contradict me face to face and whether he has the guts to refuse your grandpa’s marriage offer! ”

It can be seen from the Queen Mother's tone alone that she is still brooding about Jia Lian's resistance to marriage.

Princess Zhaoyang was very moved when she heard what the Queen Mother said. How could she not see that the Queen Mother was really thinking about her happiness and wanted to move the Emperor out to suppress her stubborn lover?

But she still shook her head and said with a smile: "No need, Grandma Huang. Qingran doesn't want to force him, let alone delay him. Let's talk about this matter later.

Huang Grandma may not know that he is very busy now. His father valued him very much, gave him many errands, asked him to set up a firearms camp, and asked him to go to Tianjin to supervise the construction of new warships.

I have told Qingran that he wants to get these two things done as soon as possible. Then he will lead a powerful fleet and set sail to sweep away the rebels from all over the world."

Princess Zhaoyang did not find out , her eyes were shining when she said these words.

The Queen Mother saw it and she was silent.

From Princess Zhaoyang’s tone, it is not difficult to hear that Jia Lian has lofty ambitions and ambitions that impressed Princess Zhaoyang. She was even afraid that Jia Lian's career would be affected if her imperial grandfather granted her another marriage.

The Queen Mother felt very strange. She had been married into the Tian family for so many years, but she had never thought that the Tian family would take care of the wishes of their ministers.

But the Queen Mother understood in her heart that Princess Zhaoyang’s worries were not unreasonable. That brat was indeed not a master who gave in easily, although she really couldn't figure out why Jia Lian could resist the majesty of the Supreme Emperor.

Seeing the Queen Mother thinking, Princess Zhaoyang, who wanted to pass the test quickly, said with a smile: "Okay, Qingran knows that the Queen Mother cares about me. Let's just pretend that the Queen Mother doesn't know about this. One day in the future, when Qingran completely takes him down, how about the Imperial Grandmother making the decision for me?

Presumably, by then, he will not be so stubborn. By then, my father The emperor, the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's grandfather all went to the battle to make the decision for Qingran. If you don't believe that he dares not to submit, how about Qingran being more generous and letting the Wang family be a concubine, so that everyone can be happy?"

Although She heard that Princess Zhaoyang was joking, but the Queen Mother still couldn't help but hit her and cursed: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into you. Do you even know that you are the princess of the Tian family!"

In response, Princess Zhaoyang just laughed. The Queen Mother was helpless. She had discovered a long time ago that Princess Zhaoyang had changed a lot after she came back from beyond the Great Wall, and she became more decisive and decisive in her actions.

That’s all, let’s just follow them. Anyway, as long as he is here, that boy will not dare to bully his precious granddaughter.

A potential crisis was resolved by Princess Zhaoyang’s coquettishness.

　WithAs a result, when Jia Lian returned to Weiyang Hall again, he was quite uneasy when faced with the Queen Mother, who looked at him with cold eyebrows and spoke indifferently.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not do anything to him in the end. Instead, she changed the subject and ordered someone to bring out the reward she had mentioned before.

Jia Lian was surprised by the rarity and quantity of the rewards.

"These things, in addition to complimenting you at the birthday banquet to please the Supreme Emperor, are more importantly, I have not rewarded you when you brought Zhaoyang back safely from outside the Great Wall. , let’s end it together this time.”

The Queen Mother’s voice finally became much softer when she said this.

She was indeed very happy in her heart. If it were not for Jia Lian, maybe her Zhaoyang would never come back! She had actually thought about rewarding Jia Lian for a long time, but she couldn't shake her face from being humiliated by Jia Lian. Secondly, Jia Lian returned to Beijing in glory and won the attention of Emperor Ning Kang, and she had more important things to do. Therefore, I have never found a suitable opportunity.

"Back to the Queen Mother, these things are too precious, and I am ashamed to accept them."

The Queen Mother did not pay attention to Jia Lian's refusal, but ordered Su Quan next to her, Let him arrange for someone to deliver the things to Jia's house, and then drive Jia Lian out.

Jia Lian did not leave Weiyang Palace, but waited outside the palace.

Sure enough, after a while, Princess Zhaoyang walked out and came to Jia Lian's side.

Jia Lian saw that the eunuchs around him were far away and asked in a low voice: "Has the Queen Mother noticed what happened to us? She just raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes at me."
< br /> Princess Zhaoyang laughed when she heard this: "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

Jia Lian didn't even frown: "I broke into the forbidden palace without permission before, and I appeared with you again. The Queen Mother must be suspicious..."

"What are you breaking into the forbidden palace? Didn't the Queen Mother say that she summoned you in?"

Jia Lian thought for a while, Asked: "Is this really the case?"

"Otherwise? Erlang wouldn't think that I tricked you into it by pretending to convey the Queen Mother's will, right?"

Uh... Jia Lian really feels that way.

But facing Princess Zhaoyang, who had a joking look on her face, Jia Lian suddenly reacted.

Although Princess Zhaoyang acted eclectically, she always went to see him without making an agreement with him. But thinking about it carefully, she was very cautious every time she acted. When there were many people like today, it did not seem safe enough to ask him for a private meeting within the confines of Weiyang Palace.

If the Queen Mother really summoned him, ZhaoIt makes perfect sense that Princess Yang took the opportunity to meet him.

Fortunately, when he told the Queen Mother that he entered the inner palace under her orders, he was still very grateful and thought that the Queen Mother was covering for him and Princess Zhaoyang. Unexpectedly, it actually happened. Its matter.

Knowing this was the case, Jia Lian put aside his worries and looked around.

Princess Zhaoyang saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "You want to go and see your beautiful adopted sister? Unfortunately, my person just told me that you are so good My sister was frightened, and Mrs. Zhen wanted to take her home to recuperate as soon as possible. She had already said goodbye and went to Kunning Palace, and now she may have seen the queen come out of the palace."

Jia Lian nodded, inexplicably He glanced at Princess Zhaoyang.

He heard Princess Zhaoyang’s teasing, and felt strange in his heart. Why would his woman have random thoughts every time she saw other beautiful girls around him? Even the upright Zhaoyang Isn’t the princess surprised?

The last time I heard her speak so eccentrically was when Xue Baoqin appeared.

　…

There is no dinner at the Emperor’s birthday banquet, but the ministers can feast in the Chonghua Hall until the end of the day and sunset.

Jia Lian had no intention of staying until that time. He found the official in charge of the ceremony in the Ministry of Rites and left the palace early on the grounds of military affairs.

Not far from the imperial palace, on the avenue from the imperial city to Xi’an Gate, I happened to meet the Zhen family’s carriage.

"Applause~"

Jia Lian rode his horse to the carriage and stopped next to it, and bowed his hands to Mrs. Zhen's family who opened the curtain.

When Mrs. Zhen’s wife saw him, she immediately showed gratitude, "It turns out to be Brother Lian. Your sister was frightened and had a fever. I was in a hurry to take her home, but I forgot It's really rude to say hello to my brother..."

"Madam, you are too polite. How is Huan'er?"

"Second brother Lian..."< br />
Under the car window, Mrs. Zhen slowly raised a petite and cute head in her arms, with a soft voice.

Jia Lian took a closer look and found that Zhen Yuhuan's face was red and unusual, which was the symptom of a cold.

In fact, Jia Lian felt that Zhen Yuhuan's health should be much better than that of Daiyu. If it were Daiyu who fell into an icy pond on such a cold day, Jia Lian couldn't even imagine the consequences.

"My sister is weak and has caught a cold. It would be good for my wife to take her back as soon as possible and ask a doctor to diagnose and treat her.

In this case, I won't bother you. ."

Jia Lian said, about to say goodbye.

Zhen Yuhuan suddenly shouted: "Second brother Lian..."

Jia Lian turned around after hearing the sound.

"You, didn't you promise Sister Lin..." Zhen Yuhuan seemed a little embarrassed, her expression was twisted, and her face turned redder.

But Jia Lian understood and said with a smile: "Your health is important. The poetry club's affairs are not urgent at the moment. Let's wait until you are well."

When Zhen Yuhuan heard this, her expression was troubled. She actually didn't think she was in serious trouble, but her mother was very nervous.

Jia Lian saw what she was thinking, shook his head and smiled, and then said to the puzzled Mrs. Zhen: "Sister Huan'er is in our home, and she gets along very well with the sisters at home, and everyone likes her very much. She.

They formed a poetry club together, and sister Huan’er also joined. The club hasn’t been opened yet, so naturally everyone is reluctant to let her go.”

Mrs. Zhen’s family Then she nodded: "That's it."

Zhen Yuhuan immediately said: "We had already agreed that the first club to be opened today would be the crabapple that brother Lian gave us yesterday. As the title."

Even Jia Lian saw it, and Mrs. Zhen's wife naturally understood her daughter's thoughts, and couldn't help but persuade her: "Silly girl, you are already weak, so you should listen to your second brother Lian. Yes, let’s talk about the poetry club later.

Otherwise, even if you go with your second brother Lian now, if you become seriously ill, not only will your second brother and the others be troubled to take care of you, but your little ones will also be troubled. Sisters, I'm afraid that because of worrying about you, the poetry club won't be able to run, and won't both ends be ruined by then?"

Mrs. Zhen's wife said, turning around and bowing to Jia Lian: "Today It's all thanks to brother Lian. If it weren't for you, I really don't dare to think about what happened to Huan'er. How would I explain to her father and the old lady at home after I go back?"
< br /> Mrs. Zhen’s wife wiped her tears unconsciously as she spoke.

Jia Lian comforted her, then looked at Zhen Yuhuan, who was obviously a little disappointed in the arms of Mrs. Zhen's wife, and said softly: "You go back and take good care of yourself first. I will go to your house to see you in two days. If you get better, I will take you to our house to play with your sisters."

"Second brother, do you really mean what you said?"

"Since It's serious."

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he nodded to Mrs. Zhen's family, then turned his horse's head and headed forward.

Mrs. Zhen’s wife watched Jia Lian and his entourage ride away with both gratitude and inexplicable envy in her eyes.

I thought it would be great if he had such an outstanding son. It's a pity, my own treasureAlthough Yu was cute and lovable by nature, he was rich and wealthy, otherwise she would have brought him with her to Beijing this time.

With a man to help with external affairs, she can feel much more relaxed.

She opened her mouth to give instructions to set off, and when she lowered her head, she saw her daughter looking in the direction where Jia Lian was leaving, looking a little dazed. She just thought that her daughter wanted to go play with the sisters of the Jia family, so she lowered the car curtain. , holding her daughter in her arms to comfort her.
