"Your Majesty, what are your plans for today?"

"Everything remains the same."

"Then... I understand." Ying Qiu bit her lower lip, Gu Qingzhan had a calm face, and had been by her side for more than ten years, and had never seen her afraid of anything, except for the occasional nightmare at night when she was awakened.

"Are you ready?" Zheng Zhao changed into light casual clothes, stepped on a pair of black riding boots, and came in from outside the house. Today, the Son of Heaven hunted in the back of the mountain, and invited all the officials to go with him. "The royal hunt is held once a year, and this king also takes his concubine to join in the fun."

"The concubine is ready." Gu Qingzhan had already noticed that Zheng Zhao had been by her side since his return from northern Xinjiang, and even when she went to the Temple of Mercy to give alms and pray for blessings, he was always inseparable.

All kinds of changes made Gu Qingzhan have to think more.

"... I don't know if the princess has heard about Zuo Sima and General Zhen Guo. They all died strangely. I only went out for a year, and the situation in the court changed suddenly. It is easy to hide a spear and it is difficult to guard against it. I am afraid that the minions in the dark will come out." Xiang Wangfu, it is more appropriate for the princess to always be by the king's side, and I will arrange a few more first-class guards for the princess in another day, just in case."

Not only was Zheng Zhao sure that someone was secretly tripping the palace, but he was also sure that there was a mole in the palace.The ambush in Lushan last year nearly killed him, and now, in less than a year, he lost two more confidantes... If it wasn't for the palace's secret work, why would his whereabouts plan be so exposed?And again and again.

Gu Qingzhan stepped forward to straighten his clothes, met his sharp eyes, smiled gently, and seemed a little moved, and said: "Marrying the prince, this life is enough for Qingzhan."

Zheng Zhao stared at her for a long time, thinking to himself that he was too suspicious, the woman in front of him could be sad for a long time even trampling an ant to death, so why talk about other things?But at this juncture, he had to be wary of everyone around him. "Marry me, I've wronged you."

Gu Qingzhan bowed his head and stopped talking.

Standing on the attic of Qiushui Garden, Lu Ying watched the mighty procession in front of the palace preparing to set off. Zheng Zhao rode his triumphant war horse at the forefront of the procession.And the one sitting in the sedan chair must be her, Lu Ying continued to look at it in a daze.

Bi Luo also lay on the railing and watched, still thinking in her heart, why didn't the prince bring his wife with him when he went hunting in the back mountain?If you bring your empress along, she will also be able to open her eyes, and it is said that she can still see the emperor.What will the Son of Heaven be like?It must be very majestic.

If it wasn't for being in the court hall, if it wasn't for wearing the golden silk dragon robe, no one would have thought that the frail and frail man was the current Holy Master.Thinking about it, everyone in the court just regarded him as a puppet of power, and everyone knew that the empress dowager listened to the government behind the curtain.

Zheng Yi led all civil and military officials to the back mountain first, but King Zhao came slowly. Although everyone did not complain much, they had their own thoughts in their hearts. King Zhao is now in full swing, and even the emperor is not in his eyes.

Zheng Yi was riding a bloody BMW, but his figure became more and more frail, and his excessively pale skin looked sickly, as if he would fall over when the wind blows.

"Your Majesty, let's add some more clothes!" A red-robed woman brought a cloak and handed it forward, her voice was exquisite and melodious, her facial features were beautiful, and she looked like a lady of every family. This was the concubine Qin who was being favored in the harem.

However, Xu Yu's soft words were exchanged for Zheng Yi's lukewarmness, "It's okay, you step back first."

Seeing this, Zheng Zhao got off his horse and saluted, suppressing the disgust and dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "My brother Zheng Zhao kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor."

Gu Qingzhan saluted after him, and then stood silently aside.

"Exemption." Zheng Yi raised his hand, signaling to flatten his body, "Fifth brother won a complete victory in this expedition, and he really made great contributions to me, Da Zheng. Rewards, there are many rewards."

"Thank you Lord Long En." Zheng Zhao raised his head, but his gaze fell on the red robed woman, whom he hadn't seen for a year.

When the first emperor passed away unexpectedly, if he had not been in northern Xinjiang, if he had stayed in the capital, how would Zheng Yi have the chance to sit on the throne, and how could he have married the woman he loved.They are siblings, so how can they fry each other?Zheng Zhao hates Zheng Yi, not without reason, what he thought should belong to him, but was taken away by a coward by chance, he is unwilling in this life.

Her gaze became hot with longing, Xu Yu avoided Zheng Zhao's gaze, she was afraid that if this continued, she would expose too much in front of Zheng Yi.

Xu Yu was originally the daughter of the Grand Tutor. She grew up with the princes since she was a child, and the promise she made was still vivid in her memory.

"If I am the son of heaven, you are the empress; if I am the prince, you are the princess; if I am nothing, then you and I will wander the world..."

Is it a pledge of eternal love or sweet words?Xu Yu didn't know, she only knew that at the late emperor's birthday banquet that day, the late emperor betrothed the prime minister's daughter to him, and he did not refuse.

The night before Zheng Zhao's expedition to northern Xinjiang, Xu Yu asked him: "Which is more important, rights or feelings?"

"I want it too. When I return from defending against the enemy, I will spread ten miles of red makeup and marry you as my wife."

Xu Yu sneered, "What about Miss Gu's family?"

"I only have you in my heart."

But in the face of reality, all vows become pale and powerless.When Zheng Zhao returned from his expedition, the country changed hands, and the woman he loved the most had long since become the concubine Qin.

The biggest failure in his life was that he only got the title of King Zhao.

A white fox leaped not far away, Zheng Yi and Zheng Zhao drew their bows almost at the same time, with a whoosh sound Zheng Yi shot out the sharp arrow first, Zheng Zhao smiled disdainfully, followed by another arrow, which directly pierced the arrow that Zheng Yi just shot. That arrow came from behind, and the arrow hit the white fox's neck, and it died.

In front of the emperor, so arrogant, everyone began to bow their heads and whisper, Zheng Zhao still raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have accepted it."

"Fifth brother has returned from fighting against the enemy, and he is becoming more and more unstoppable!" Qi Wang Zheng Yu watched this "wonderful" scene, and one of them applauded. The meaning of these words was understood by everyone.

Zheng Yi didn't have the airs of a king of a country at this time, and he still smiled modestly on his face, "What the eleventh brother said is very true. Now that there is a general in the court, I am very pleased."

Zheng Yu smiled back at Zheng Yi, but thought in his heart, he really is a mediocre talent, and a rotten wood cannot be carved.If the Empress Dowager hadn't secretly manipulated him, how could Zheng Gong have a place for him.

"It's lucky that Da Zheng has a strong general like Fifth Brother." Zheng Yu immediately bowed, full of hypocrisy.

Zheng Zhao could see through Zheng Yu's thorny smile, he had never put Zheng Yi in his eyes, and this eleventh brother was his serious worry.Zheng's population is thin, there are not many princes and princes, and even fewer hold military power. Qi Wang Zheng Yu has been stationed in the south for a long time and has independent military power. He is like a tiger, leopard and jackal, eyeing the north.

The death of Zuo Sima and General Zhen Guo severely damaged Zheng Zhao's power... Who exactly is behind it?After thinking about it, he naturally set his goal on Qi Wang Zheng Yu.

After a while, everyone dispersed and went looking for prey.A table banquet was set up in the forest, all melons and fruits candied fruit, and all the female relatives sat around and chatted to pass the time.

Gu Qingzhan and Xu Yu sat on the same side, and their eyes fell on Zheng Zhao who was galloping in the forest at the same time. With the arrow technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, the prey had nowhere to hide.

It just so happened that a long-eared gray rabbit came not far away, walking around in the grass without thinking. Zheng Zhao held his breath, drew another long arrow from his back quiver, and put it on the bow.

Seeing this, the voices of talking and laughing gradually faded away. They all stared at the gray rabbit intently. It is rumored that King Zhao's archery skills are unparalleled in the world. Now, they have a chance to meet.

Seeing the gray rabbit, Xu Yu felt pity in his heart, and shook his head slightly at Zheng Zhao.

Everyone didn't know why Zheng Zhao withdrew his bow suddenly, only Gu Qingzhan and Xu Yu knew it.She just turned a deaf ear to everything about Zheng Zhao and Xu Yu.

"If you marry me, I can't give you anything except glory and wealth." Zheng Zhao warned before Gu Qingzhan married into the palace. marriage.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhan replied with a light smile: "Even if the Holy Majesty refers to marriage, it is destined, and the husband is the guide for the wife. In the future, what the prince says...is what it is."

"You really don't regret it?"

"No regrets."

Zheng Zhao put away his bow and arrows, borrowed strength from his skills, and lightly leaped from the horse's back. He jumped into the jungle within three or two strokes, caught the long-eared gray rabbit with his bare hands, and hugged him in his arms.

When everyone thought that King Zhao was going to give this "trophy" to Gu Qingzhan, Zheng Zhao surprised everyone and gave the gray rabbit directly to Concubine Qin.

"...Let's send it to the concubine." Xu Yu didn't go to pick it up, even if the emperor wasn't there, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zheng Zhao's actions like this would definitely attract gossip.

Gu Qingzhan smiled lightly, "Since it is the prince's wish, the concubine Qin can accept it. I heard that the empress grew up with the prince and loves brothers and sisters. Now that I haven't seen each other for a year, it's time to reminisce about the old days."

Xu Yu helped his forehead, "I'm sick today, I can't blow the wind, so everyone's interest is refreshed, here I will punish myself with a glass of tea instead of wine." After finishing speaking, the maid went back to the carriage.

Soon, Zheng Zhao also left.

Through the bamboo grove, the sun shines down in mottled patterns, falling on the teacup like shining stars, which is truly beautiful.Gu Qingzhan slowly picked up the teacup, and her half-smile face was reflected in the cup.

"My sister looks pretty when she smiles too..." For some reason, she suddenly thought of Lu Ying again.

Will she still have a chance to really laugh once in her life?

There are many things in this world, and she sees them more clearly than anyone else, so it's not a tragedy.

"Ma'am, why don't you change the tea if it's cold?" Yingqiu asked her from the side.

Gu Qingzhan raised his eyes, and only said three words, "Just right."

Yingqiu understood, "I understand."
