There is no point in playing chess with the Supreme Emperor, and Jia Lian has no intention of pleasing the Supreme Emperor at this time.

Seemingly sensing Jia Lian’s absent-mindedness, the Supreme Emperor only allowed him to play for one game before letting him go.

After leaving Chonghua Palace, Jia Lian walked directly to Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is built on the central axis of Chonghua Palace and is the central palace in the second half of the entire Chonghua Palace.

In the past, when Jia Lian went to Weiyang Palace, he usually went through the palace gate on the west side of Chonghua Palace. Now this is the second time that he went directly through the Chonghua Palace area to Weiyang Palace. The first time was a private meeting between the Supreme Emperor's birthday banquet and Princess Zhaoyang.

However, I feel that the palaces surrounding the residence of the Supreme Emperor are not comparable to other places in the palace in terms of luxury and austerity. There are many guards among the palaces.

Jia Lian silently kept the layout and defense of the room in mind.

Arriving at Weiyang Palace, she waited outside the palace gate for a long time before leading the eunuch over and taking her to a small courtyard in the west.

In that pavilion, Jia Lian met Princess Zhaoyang.

“Erlang!”

Princess Zhaoyang came down from the pavilion and looked at Jia Lian with some excitement and earnestness.

Jia Lian knew what he meant and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry Qingran, I couldn't convince the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was determined and didn't give me much chance to speak..."

The hope in Princess Zhaoyang's eyes dissipated at a visible speed, and then became determined.

"Erlang needless to say, I understand everything. My imperial grandfather has always loved my imperial grandmother the most, and even my imperial grandmother's intercession is of no use, let alone Erlang. Regarding this result, I had expected it a long time ago."

Looking at Princess Zhaoyang who was obviously sad but still forcing a smile, Jia Lian felt a little distressed and gently held her in his arms and said: "Qingran doesn't have to be sad. , Although I failed to make the Supreme Emperor take back his life today, I can see that the Supreme Emperor is still reasonable.

As long as I think of a way, there is always a chance to persuade the Supreme Emperor.

Besides, there is Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty and the Queen Mother can speak to us, maybe one day the Emperor will change his mind."

Listening to Jia Lian's comforting words, Feeling her lover's persistence, Princess Zhaoyang was moved.

But she still pushed Jia Lian away and shook her head: "It's useless. I know Grandpa Huang's temper. He never allows anyone to disobey his orders.

Furthermore, it is impossible for my father to ask the Supreme Emperor for our affairs... So...

Erlang should not waste any more energy.There is no point in saying it, and it may completely offend my grandpa. When he unleashes his thunderous wrath, even my father will not be able to protect you. It is not worth it. "

Jia Lian frowned and looked at Princess Zhaoyang: "But, our child..."

"Since the world cannot tolerate him, even if we force him to Bringing him into this world may not be a good thing for him. "Princess Zhaoyang forced a smile.

Jia Lian was silent for a while and said, "I am sorry for you. "

Jia Lian has never been an indecisive person. Although he also cares about his and Princess Zhaoyang's child, he has not gone to the point of blocking everything he has to fight against the imperial power for the sake of a bloodline that has not yet been born.

What he really cares about is Princess Zhaoyang. What he is really worried about is that Princess Zhaoyang values ​​​​too much and cannot think about her children.

If this is the case, it will put him in trouble The situation.

In the current situation, it is foolish to resist the Supreme Emperor. Even at the birthday banquet that day, Emperor Ning Kang, who was furious, could only choose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden when facing the Supreme Emperor, let alone him?< br />
Therefore, at this time, retreat is the best choice, which is not shameful.

After all, it is still the same sentence, the Supreme Emperor obviously has not much time left, he and Zhao Princess Yang is still young.

When the Supreme Emperor dies one day, everything will be promising. Why bother to bear the risk of being sacrificed by the Supreme Emperor and try your best at this time?

Now it seems that Princess Zhaoyang not only did not wonder, but comforted him in turn, and she has obviously made up her mind. I know that Princess Zhaoyang must have sorted out the interests and made a painful decision to prevent them from getting into trouble.< br />
She is still so sensible, no, she is more sensible than before, not as sensible as a woman.

Just as Jia Lian knows her, Princess Zhaoyang listens to Jia Lian’s words With her words of apology, she knew that Jia Lian understood her thoughts.

Feeling a little comfort in her heart, she threw herself into Jia Lian's arms and said softly: "Erlang has not sorry for me. Although I can't marry Erlang, Erlang knows that these days are the happiest days for Qingran, starting from the day Erlang said he wanted to marry me.

Being able to be treated like this by Erlang, Qingran has no regrets in his life.

I just hate that God’s will is unfair and will definitely make things difficult for me. Or maybe, Qingran is too lucky and destined not to be with Erlang. "

"It's not that Qingran is not blessed, but that I, Jia Lian, am not worthy of Qingran's tenderness. ”

Both Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang are rational people. Not to mention Jia Lian, who has been a man of two generations and has huge ambitions. He is always cautious and cautious at every step..

Princess Zhaoyang herself has an independent personality, and her mind has become more mature after a lot of experience and marriage.

Therefore, even if the blow brought by the Supreme Emperor is huge, at this moment, under the rationality of the two of them, it seems that it is not so huge.

"Ahem."

Just as Jia Lian and Jia Lian were comforting each other, a woman's cold cough sounded.

Jia Lian and Jia Lian quickly separated. Looking back, it was the empress dowager who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and extremely beautiful and came in.

"You two should be clear about the Emperor's will. From now on, I don't want to see this kind of situation again."

The Queen Mother left with an indifferent expression. He came over, glanced at Princess Zhaoyang first, and then looked at Jia Lian, his tone becoming more and more unkind.

"Zhaoyang is a woman and is prone to being emotional, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan is a courtier. You should distinguish the important from the important. I hope you will pay attention to your words and deeds from now on, and don't do anything that is harmful to heaven. It’s a matter of family honor.

This is my place, and I can’t guarantee that there will be no other people’s eyes and ears. If you two are elsewhere, and you don’t know how to restrain yourself, you will be seen and stabbed by someone with ulterior motives. In the ears of the Supreme Emperor, if the Supreme Emperor Long Yan is furious and punishes you again, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Jia Lian's face looked a little dark. He didn't understand why every time the Queen Mother saw him, her eyes or nose were either upright or not. She always liked to scold him coldly when they met.

It was clear that he had not offended her in any way. On the contrary, he had saved her once in the Prince's Courtyard!

Now, let alone repaying him, I feel like I have a grudge against him.

It is clear that yesterday you swore to yourself that you could solve the problem with the Emperor, but something went wrong with the Emperor. I didn’t even blame you for being incompetent, but you took control of it.

No one likes to be treated coldly, even if the person is an overly beautiful woman.

Therefore Jia Lian also said coldly: "I know the Queen Mother's good intentions. But since Qingran is already my woman, I am not afraid of being known."

The Queen Mother, whose beautiful eyes were slightly focused because of Jia Lian's disrespectful attitude, became confused when she heard Jia Lian's next words.

"Are you really not afraid? Even if the Supreme Emperor takes away your official position and title?"

Jia Lian stood silently and did not answer.

Judging from the behavior of the Supreme Emperor who just left him to play chess with him, the Supreme Emperor probably simply disapproved of his marriage to Zhaoyang, rather than hating him.

Thinking about the flattery at the birthday banquet last time, it should have some effect.

Therefore, Jia Lian was not really afraid that the Emperor would suddenly fall out, and dared to come directly to Weiyang Palace to find Princess Zhaoyang.

Probably just feeling confident.

The Queen Mother originally wanted to intimidate Jia Lian, but she also wanted to retaliate against her for being rejected and contradicted by Jia Lian.

Who would have thought that Jia Lian's attitude was so disrespectful to her, which immediately made her a little angry, and she couldn't help but coldly snorted: "I had the intention to help you, but you don't know what is good or bad. , now you have the nerve to say that Qingran is your woman!

Hmph, I might as well tell you that the Supreme Emperor has ordered me to choose one person from among the talented people in Beijing to be Qingran’s consort... "

"Grandma Imperial...!"

When Princess Zhaoyang heard what the Queen Mother said, she quickly stopped her and then looked at Jia Lian with some worry.

Sure enough, Jia Lian looked a little ugly, but he couldn't say anything.

In fact, this was what he expected. After all, the Emperor was so firm in denying their marriage that he would not even let the child in Princess Zhaoyang’s belly be kept. He would issue an order to find another son-in-law for Princess Zhaoyang. , couldn’t be more reasonable.

Xu Shi saw that Jia Lian's mood was too stable, and the Queen Mother also lost her mind to stimulate Jia Lian, and only said: "In short, you didn't cherish all this at the beginning, and now you can't blame others."

Here, Princess Zhaoyang stood in front of Jia Lian, holding Jia Lian's arm and saying: "Since Qingran has identified Erlang in this life, he will be Erlang's person in life, and Erlang's ghost in death. There is no trace in his heart." Others.

Therefore, even if the emperor ordered someone to choose a son-in-law for me, in my heart, the only real husband is Erlang. Qingran’s heart and body, from beginning to end, belong to Erlang only. One person.

I'm just afraid that Erlang will forget Qingran in the future..."

"How could it be possible? I will never forget it in this life, forever and ever. Qingran."

Watching Princess Zhaoyang fall into Jia Lian's arms again, and hearing their affectionate and disgusting words, the Queen Mother's Qingmei face showed some discomfort.

Youxin was too lazy to pay attention to him and the two of them turned around and left. He also felt that he was afraid of them, so he turned slightly and looked away.

After reluctantly standing for a while, I found that the young couple was chatting non-stop, and their sweet words were getting more and more excessive. They did not behave like they should after being beaten up, and they did not care about her as an elder. Still nearby.

She couldn't help it anymore and said coldly: "It's almost time. Qingran, don't forget what you promised me.”

After hearing the Empress Dowager’s reminder, Princess Zhaoyang was shocked to realize that she was so intimate with Jia Lian in front of the imperial grandmother, and she shyly left Jia Lian’s arms.

She looked at Jia Lian tenderly: "Erlang, please go back first, don't worry about me, I will be out soon..."

Hearing Princess Zhaoyang say that she will be out soon , Jia Lian wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

“Then I will wait for you outside the palace. Remember to protect yourself, and if there is anything embarrassing, send someone to tell me. If it is inconvenient to contact me, you can also contact the Concubine Xian..."

Yuanchun is now a concubine, so there is no problem in communicating with people outside the palace, not to mention that he has given her a large amount of money. I will use money to cultivate my own wings.

"Haha, don't worry, Erlang. The imperial grandmother is protecting me, and no one in the palace can hurt me. ”

Princess Zhaoyang smiled. Although she felt that Jia Lian’s instructions were useless, she was still happy that Jia Lian cared about her.

Turning around, she looked at the grandmother’s face. Her face became increasingly ugly, and she finally made up her mind, signaling with her eyes that Jia Lian could leave.

Jia Lian was not too pretentious, and casually saluted the Queen Mother, then turned and left.

His contemptuous attitude made the Queen Mother look stunned, and she was about to explode. Princess Zhaoyang hugged her arm with sharp eyes and quick hands, and swayed her in a flattering way.

The Queen Mother gave up, but she was still dissatisfied. He said: "This kid still looks dissatisfied with me, why should he..."

"Oh, Grandma Huang, you are too worried, how can Erlang be dissatisfied with you. Moreover, Imperial Grandma, you usually don’t care about these false courtesy, so why are you arguing with him today. "

"I don't care about anything, it's just not worth it for you. How can this boy be worthy of your infatuation? Treat him with all your heart and soul, without thinking about yourself at all..."

Faced with the Queen Mother's doubts, Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "I wasn't the emperor back then. Grandma, you taught Qing Ran, "If you want to win the heart of a person, we will never be apart until we grow old together." Now people already know that Erlang is the person Qingran has been looking for. "

The Queen Mother's expression suddenly dropped. She didn't even remember how long ago she taught Princess Zhaoyang this poem, but it must have been a long, long time ago.

She raised her eyebrows He raised his hand, stroked the top of Princess Zhaoyang's head, and said softly: "Qingran has grown up, and is no longer the little girl who pestered me with questions all day long.

Speaking of which, you haven’t been with me for a long time since you came back from beyond the Great Wall. Take advantage of this time, stay in Weiyang Palace for a while, and spend time with me. ”

Princess Zhaoyang really wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible because she was thinking about the career of her eldest princess's palace and the promise she made to Jia Lian.

This is one of the reasons why she chose to compromise so quickly this time. After a person has his ideals and pursuits, other things become less important.

But looking at the lonely expression on the Queen Mother’s face and thinking about the loneliness of the Imperial Grandmother for so many years, she nodded and agreed.
