Lotte and Zhao Ji are all good, who can come in behind the queen so late, as if they have made some mistake.

However, when it comes to palace affairs, Lotte stands aside and can't speak, just watching quietly as an outsider.

When Empress Zheng's voice fell, a petite and delicate person walked in hesitantly from outside the door, with the fear of doing something wrong between his eyebrows, and a shy twist, while looking at Zhao Ji who was sitting in the seat cautiously and timidly, his eyes glanced at Lotte from time to time, and quickly lowered his head again.

Seeing the little person, Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows: "Fourth sister, it's so late, why don't you rest early, what are you doing here?" ”

Obviously, Zhao Ji called the fourth sister, this petite and lovely person is the fourth daughter of the emperor, Emperor Maode.

Listening to her father's questioning, Emperor Mao was frightened and cowardly, her eyes were full of panic, and a layer of mist had been shrouded, and she had the frame of crying.

Seeing this, Empress Zheng hurriedly took over the words: "The concubine heard that His Majesty and Lord Le were having a banquet at night, and she came to advise her for fear that the wine would hurt Your Majesty's body, but she didn't want to meet the fourth sister outside the palace!" ”

When it comes to the affairs of the heavenly family, Lotte as a minister at this time naturally can't intervene.

Zhao Ji was still very fond of Emperor Maode, so he changed his tone and asked, "Fourth sister, it's so late, what's the matter with Xun Zhen?" ”

"I ......," Emperor Maude said, unable to answer.

Seeing that Emperor Maode couldn't answer, Empress Zheng smiled: "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, the fourth sister is not young, it's time to tell the fourth sister about her mother-in-law!" ”

"What Zitong said is very true, Mao De is sixteen years old, and it's time to find a mother-in-law!" Zhao Ji didn't want to ask more, but knew that Empress Zheng was deliberately putting the words aside, nodded and then sighed, with a faint anger in his eyes: "It's just that I saw the wrong person at the beginning, and I felt that Cai Jing's Cai Jing family had a good character, and he was suitable for the fourth sister, but I didn't expect this son to be a frivolous person, and now he has become a waste, and he almost missed the fourth sister's life......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji looked at Emperor Maode, and the guilt in his eyes became bigger.

"Zitong" is the ancient emperor's affectionate name for the queen, because the word "Zi" is called "Zitong" because of the reason for the word "Zi", since the Yuan Dynasty has been called "Zitong" in writing, so the word "Zitong" is mostly used in writing before the Song Dynasty.

Regarding Cai Yan's mistake about Emperor Maode, Zhao Jixin was very guilty about his daughter, and Lotte, who did not intervene on the side, was even more guilty, not only guilty about Emperor Maode, but also guilty about Cai Yan. It is true that Cai Jing is a traitor, but Cai Ying has not interfered in the government affairs, which is really suspicious.

For Lotte, officialdom is a river and lake, as the so-called people in the officialdom can't help themselves, if it weren't for the drunken begonia calculating Cai Ying, causing a scandal for the Cai family, and forcing Zhao Ji and Cai Jing to break off this family business, I'm afraid that Cai Jing is still in a high position in Zaifu, and he can't raise his head when he is suppressed.

After Zhao Ji's voice fell, Empress Zheng also sighed: "The Cai family's godson is not strict, and it is just a matter of misleading his future, and it has affected my royal prestige, but it is a pity that the fourth sister has also suffered along with her reputation!" ”

Emperor Maud was very clever and clever, and when she heard her father and mother speak like this, she immediately wiped her eyes with her hands.

There's something wrong with that! I can't intervene in the royal affairs, but Lotte, who is good at observing faces, immediately feels that something is not quite right.

The royal family of the Song Dynasty and the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty are the same, and they pay attention to family affection, Zhao Ji comforted: "Fourth sister, don't cry, I will tell you a good marriage, and the character will be a hundred times better than a thousand times!" ”

Hearing Zhao Ji speak like this, Empress Zheng smiled bitterly and poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, my emperor and daughter of the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Family are limited by the ancestral system, and there are very few talents who are willing to attach horses, and because of Cai Yan's matter, Your Majesty wants to find a person with all the appearance and talent for the fourth sister, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”

As the co-ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, he is the king, and many things are not controlled by Zhao Ji, such as the family affairs of his children's family. Hearing this, Zhao Ji felt more and more helpless, and even felt that what he had just said was a bit nonsense.

Zhao Ji's headache is not without precedent, the princess of Yanguo in the Renzong Dynasty is suitable for Li Wei, but she is not on good terms with Li Wei, and then has a personal relationship with Liang Huaiji, who is by her side, which makes the government and the opposition in an uproar, Sima Guang and other ministers have neglected, and reprimanded the princess "If you are not more strict, you don't know what you have lost." indulgent, fearless, several disobeyed the orders of the monarch's father, and contemptuous of the husband's family", Liang Huaiji "is not self-prudent, and the evil is great." The mountain of sin accumulates and should be punished severely." It became a scandal for the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty.

Recently, there is the matter of the eldest princess of Shu and the king of the horse in the Shenzong Dynasty, the two princesses are unlucky, and the princess is still attached to the horse, to find the right door, the royal family generally has the habit of intermarrying with the "Jiangmen", the emperor and the prince marry the Jiangmen girl as a concubine, and the princess and the clan daughter, so the princess is not a meritorious horse, and the living habits and chemical level are not far from the royal family, so the couple get along.

However, because Emperor Maode and Cai Yan did not form a marriage, whether it is a general's door or after meritorious service, they will definitely have a grudge against Emperor Maode, and Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng don't understand this reason.

When Zhao Ji was helpless, Empress Zheng smiled: "Your Majesty, although there are many young talents in the world, there are only a few outstanding ones, and the concubines think about it, but there is one person who is the most suitable." ”

"Who?" Emperor Maode's family affairs were also a headache for Zhao Ji, and when she heard Empress Zheng say this, she hurriedly said: "Who is it, let's talk to me and see if it is suitable for the fourth sister!" ”

"Your Majesty, this young talent is in this hall!" Empress Zheng said, and while speaking, she set her eyes on Lotte.

When Lotte heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Queen Zheng's gaze falling on him.

"Leqing?" When Zhao Ji heard this, he was also shocked.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was surprised, Empress Zheng's eyes were still staring at Lotte, and she continued: "Le Qing wants to have a good character, to learn and learn, to have the ability to have the ability, and to say that she is in love with the fourth sister, isn't it the best candidate?" ”

When Emperor Maud heard this, her eyes at Lotte were full of shyness, and her face instantly turned red to her neck, and she hurriedly pinned her face to the side.

"This dynasty has a system, and the horses are not allowed to participate in the government affairs, Le Qing is my capable minister, cadre, and direct minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and being His Majesty's son-in-law is the loss of my Great Song Dynasty, this horse must not be done!" Hearing this, Zhao Ji shook his head again and again.

When the words fell, Zhao Ji suddenly realized something, and set his eyes on Empress Zheng: "I just heard Zitong say that Le Qing and Sihaier are in love, what does this mean?" ”

While speaking, Zhao Ji fell on Lotte's body again, and his eyes were full of questioning.

Lotte heard this, an old face's facial muscles deliberately stiffened, not wanting Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng to see any flaws in their faces, although they liked Emperor Maode in their hearts, but they could only hide in their hearts, after all, there were a bunch of concubines in the family, and there was a Xixia princess who was similar to the enemy and had never officially worshipped the church, one more and one less is just a matter of quantity, not a necessary and unnecessary problem.

"Your Majesty met the fourth sister outside, is it a coincidence? This little Nizi didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came here, and she had her own stops, but she couldn't stand the interrogation of the concubine, and Xiao Nizi also told the truth, she wanted to see Lotte. And Lotte has also written poems for these four sisters before......" Speaking of this, Empress Zheng obviously has to take care of the feelings that some girls have, and asked Lotte with questioning eyes: "Is this palace saying yes or no?" ”

Lotte was asked and could not speak.

Ben has a very good impression of Lotte, Zhao Ji also looked at Lotte, left and right, and his heart was happy, and he only sighed: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, how do I choose?" Besides, Le Qing also has a princess of Xia who has not officially passed the door. ”

Empress Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is in charge of the harem, and she should not interfere in the government affairs, so the concubine also heard that Le Qing led the troops to destroy the Xia State and captured the lord of the Xia State and Biandu, the princess of the Xia Kingdom has a deep grudge against Le Qing, and Le Qing's main room can be said to have been vacant, and Le Qing also has the title of Marquis, which is very compatible with the fourth sister." ”

After a pause, Empress Zheng's tone was a little helpless: "In short, Le Qing is good in the eyes of the concubines, but the only thing that makes the concubines not very satisfied is that there are too many concubines in Le Qing's family." ”

"Zitong is right, in terms of appearance and talent, Le Qing is a good match for the fourth sister." Zhao Ji also nodded, and then said helplessly: "It's just that according to the ancestral system, Le Qing has become my son-in-law, and he can't work for the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Empress Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the concubines think that although the ancestral family law cannot be violated, everything can be changed, although Le Qing can not be an official, but can be granted a fictitious position without a real position, Your Majesty has a court to consult Le Qing, the concubine has heard that the Xia State horse is often appointed as a supervisor of the army to fight with the army, and I have not seen the Xia State have a horse rebellious and chaotic, why not try it!" ”

"Let me think about it!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and frowned.

Seeing Zhao Ji's dilemma, Empress Zheng set her eyes on Emperor Maode and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, my mother has something to ask you today, and I hope you will answer it seriously." ”

Knowing that his happiness is decided tonight, listening to the conversation between his father Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng, Emperor Maode couldn't help but be anxious and worried, and at this moment, when he heard the words, he knew that it was a critical moment, blushing, lowering his head, and replied in a voice almost like a mosquito: "Mother, please ask." ”

Empress Zheng asked very directly: "Is the fourth sister satisfied with Lotte?" ”

Let a daughter's family answer directly and positively, Emperor Maude immediately became at a loss: "Daughter ......"

Listening to Empress Zheng's questioning, Zhao Ji also set his eyes on Emperor Maode, Zhao Ji felt that he owed this daughter, but he also wanted to hear his daughter's opinion.

Seeing that his daughter refused to speak, Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Fourth sister, let's talk about it, my father is in charge with you!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Maode refused to speak for a long time, Empress Zheng smiled and said: "Seeing that the fourth sister doesn't speak, I don't have this intention in my heart, so let your father slowly look for you in the future, and choose one with both good looks and appearance!" ”

"My daughter is willing!" Hearing Empress Zheng say this, Emperor Maode was impatient and immediately blurted out.

Hearing this, Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng glanced at each other, their eyes were all smiling, and Emperor Maode hurriedly turned his head in shame, not daring to look at his father and mother, let alone look at Lotte.

At this moment, Lotte didn't know whether it was joy or helplessness and indignation, in front of himself, he wanted to put himself with Emperor Maode, and after nearly half an hour, he was not asked if he was willing to do so, and was completely ignored, as if he was a bystander.
