. Zhao Wanru's group arrived in Jiankang on the seventh day of April. Zhao Hong and Zhao Mi also came with Zhao Wanru, accompanied by Li Zonghui, the chief eunuch of Deshou Palace, who naturally came on behalf of Emperor Zhao Gong.

The day after they arrived in Jiankang, they entered the palace together to present birthday gifts to the emperor. Zhao Hong and Zhao Mi also entered the palace together, seeing the emperor, empress and empress dowager. Zhao Chen first met with Li Zonghui, expressed his gratitude to the Emperor Taishang, and placed the congratulatory gift sent by Zhao Gou in the most prominent position in the palace to show respect for him, and also asked Li Zonghui to convey his gratitude to Zhao Gou. Li Zonghui also said a few polite words before leaving the palace.

Next is Zhao Wanru taking Zhao Hong and Zhao Mijin to meet. In fact, Zhao Chen and Zhao Wanru often played together when they were children, and their relationship was very good, so they really loved her as their sister-in-law. It's just that later because of Zhao Kai's Guan Yi, he got a lot of points, and he hasn't seen each other for more than two years, so he also feels a lot in his heart.

Zhao Mi is a very obedient girl, and when she saw Zhao Chen, she even gave him a salute and called him Uncle Huang. And Zhao Hong obeyed Zong Tianxuan's admonition, and was also very respectful to Zhao Chen, although the tone was still a little blunt, but there was nothing rude, and it also made Zhao Wanru's heart finally let go.

In fact, someone persuaded Zhao Chen before, and simply killed Zhao Hong and Zhao Mi, and they will never suffer in the future. But from the essence of Zhao Chen, he is still a relatively generous monarch, although Zhao Kai died, it was not Zhao Chen's order, but in the end, it was still "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me" Zhao Chen was also a little reluctant in his heart, and thought that although Zhao Hong inherited Zhao Kai's prince, he was just an idle master after all, with no power and no soldiers, and he couldn't make much of a big deal. Therefore, Zhao Chen did not listen to the advice of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but on the contrary, he still took care of Zhao Kai's children.

However, on this occasion, I can't say anything in my heart, and both sides are polite. Zhao Chen issued an order to promote Zhao Wanru to the eldest princess of Yue and named Yongjing. Zhao Mi was promoted to the lord of Yongjia. It's just that Zhao Hong inherited the prince and couldn't be promoted anymore, so Zhao Chen gave him some gifts, and everyone chatted a few more words, and Zhao Wanru took Zhao Hong and Zhao Yu to thank him and leave.

Returned to the temporary residence, it was late, after dinner, Zhao Wanru and Zhao Hong, Zhao Mi were sitting and chatting, at this time the next person came to report, Princess Yongning came to visit.

Zhao Wanru heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite her. I saw Zhao Qianru walking into the house with Gu Xueping. Zhao Wanru got up to greet her and said, "Jiuniang, it should have been me going to visit you, how to work and you came to see me in person." ”

Zhao Qianru smiled slightly: "Twelve Niang, you are a rare Jiankang, those who come far away are guests, and it is not an exaggeration for me to come to see you." And you've just been promoted to princess, so I should have congratulated you. ”

Gu Xueping also smiled and said: "Wanru has been in the past two years, I miss you very much, why haven't you come to Jiankang, even when I and Cheng Lin got married, I thought you forgot about us." ”

Seeing Gu Xueping, Zhao Wanru couldn't help but think of the past when she was a child, and she also had infinite emotion in her heart, seeing that Gu Xueping was still as lively as she used to be, she couldn't help but say: "Xueping has really not changed at all!" ”

Zhao Wanru invited them to sit in the hall, and the next person brought tea. Zhao Wanru called Zhao Hong and Zhao Mi to come over to see the ceremony. Both of them called Zhao Qianru as: Aunt Jiu.

Zhao Qianru smiled slightly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Hong'er and Mi'er have grown so big with their meridians." Then he took two Jin Ruyi from Gu Xueping's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, this time I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring you any good things, these two gadgets will be given to you, take them and play!" ”

Zhao Mi was very obedient, took Jin Ruyi, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jiu." Then he played with Jin Ruyi carefully and said, "What a bright Jin Ruyi." And Zhao Hong seemed to be a little distracted, so he only thanked him and stopped talking.

Zhao Wanru frowned slightly, afraid that Zhao Hong would be stubborn again, and would confront Zhao Qianru in person, or say something unpleasant, so she said: "Hong'er and Mi'er, it's not too early, you are also tired today, go back to the room and rest." The two listened and said goodbye to Zhao Qianru, and went back to their rooms to rest.

After the two children left, Zhao Qianru smiled and said: "Twelve Niang, I haven't seen you for more than two years, you have become a lot less childish and have become a lot more sensible." It must be very hard to be alone with two children, right? ”

Zhao Wanru said: "It's okay to arrive, there are still many people in the house to take care of it." Jiu Niang, you came to me for so long, you must not just come to see me, what is the matter, right? ”

Zhao Qianru said: "Then I have something to say directly, Twelve Niang, you are almost nineteen years old, and you are not young, you should also think about your life's events." So the official family plans to choose a colt for you, and you also know the candidate, which is Yue Xiaozhi. The official asked me to ask you to see if you were willing. ”

"Xiaozhi" is Yue Ke's expression, Zhao Wanru naturally knew it, and she was also ashamed for a while, her cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.

It turned out that Zhao Chen had always cared about Zhao Wanru's marriage, but because Zhao Wanru was Zhao Kai's sister and had a special identity, it was not easy to determine whether she would be chosen, and Zhao Chen didn't want her to marry a non-human. Yue Ke and several of them were playmates when they were children, and Zhao Chen also knew Yue Ke's personality, and Zhao Wanru would definitely not be wronged if she married him. Moreover, Yue Ke is the queen's brother, and he was chosen as Zhao Wanru's concubine, which also means that the emperor does not have any intention of looking down on her.

In fact, when Zhao Wanru entered the palace today, when Zhao Chen promoted her to the eldest princess, she guessed a few points. Because in the end, she is only the daughter of a vassal king, and under normal circumstances, she can only be promoted to the county lord at most. Once she is named a princess, there is basically only one possibility, that is, to let her marry more beautifully, or marry a man who is the object that the emperor wants to focus on, and marry as a princess to appear to be valued. However, Zhao Chen did not say it explicitly on the spot, and Zhao Wanru could only pretend to be confused.

Seeing that Zhao Wanru didn't speak for a while, Gu Xueping couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with Wanru, you also know Yue Ke, and we used to play together when we were young, I remember that your Guan Yi is still very good!" ”

Zhao Wanru was so ashamed that her ears were hot, and she said, "Xueping, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Zhao Qianru pulled Gu Xueping and said with a smile: "You dead girl, you are married, why are you still so shameless, do you think everyone is as cheeky as you?" He said to Zhao Wanru again: "Actually, what Xue Ping said is not unreasonable, on selfishness, Xiao Zhi and you are indeed childhood playmates, on Gong, he is the brother of the saint, and you also know his character and knowledge, and being your colt is also a good match." And this is your life's event, what is there to be shy about in front of me and Xueping, what do you think in your heart, just say it. ”

Gu Xueping grimaced at Zhao Wanru, smiled and stopped talking. In fact, when they were children, they often did this when they played together. Because she saw that Zhao Wanru was shy, she deliberately let her go a little.

In fact, Zhao Wanru also knows that she has reached the age of marriage, and she has a good impression of Yue Ke, and she has no objection to this marriage, but now she still has Zhao Hong and Zhao Mi by her side, although it is said that after getting married, the two can still live with her, Zhao Mi has been obedient since he was a child, and it is easy to say. But Zhao Hong really couldn't let her relax, although she listened to her words now, but what if she lost her temper again that day? If he didn't take them with him after he got married, and didn't take care of Zhao Hong by his side, I don't know what he would do?

Therefore, after being silent for a long time, Zhao Wanru said: "Jiu Niang, let me have a few days, let me think about it again." ”

Of course, Zhao Qianru also knew the concerns in her heart, but it was not easy to say, nodded and said, "Okay, Twelve Niang, you think about it, I will leave first, and after the official family's birthday, you will make a decision." With that, he took Gu Xueping up and said goodbye.

Zhao Wanru nodded, got up and sent them out of the pavilion. When I returned to my room, I thought about it for a while, but I didn't make a decision. I had to sigh, got up and walked into the inner room, I was upset for a while, I couldn't sleep, and my heart moved, I wanted to see how the two children were sleeping. She went to Zhao Mi's room first, and saw that Zhao Mi was asleep at this time, and she didn't alarm her, and after looking at it, she turned around and left.

When they came to Zhao Hong's room, they saw Da Kui and Xiao Kui guarding the door, and when they saw Zhao Wanru coming, they immediately saluted and whispered, "The princess is here." ”

Zhao Wanru said softly: "Is Hong'er asleep?" ”

Da Kui said: "Back to the princess, His Royal Highness fell asleep with the scriptures, and he also slept well, please rest assured princess!" It's not too early, and the princess is resting sooner. ”

Zhao Wanru nodded and said, "I'll go in and see Hong'er, and I'll go to rest." ”

As he spoke, he was about to walk inside, Da Kui and Xiao Kui immediately changed color, and Da Kui hurriedly stopped and said: "Princess, Your Highness is asleep, and you go in again to wake up Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not good, what's the matter, it's not too late for the princess to see the prince tomorrow morning!" ”

Xiao Aoi also said, "Yes, princess." His Royal Highness fell asleep with the scriptures, and there was nothing to see, and the day had come to such a time, so the princess had better go back and rest. ”

Zhao Wan snorted coldly and said, "I just want to go in and see Hong'er, there is so much nonsense between the two of you, is it difficult for the two of you to dare to stop me?" Don't get out of the way yet. ”

Both of them were shocked, and they both lowered their heads and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Zhao Wanru ignored them, walked between the two, and walked into the house. Da Kui and Xiao Kui glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness and horror in each other's eyes, but they were powerless to stop Zhao Wanru, so they had to bite the bullet and follow Zhao Wanru into the room together. ”
