wait for another year

In the second year of Zhengqing, the noble concubine Zhao became pregnant, and the emperor was overjoyed, and named her the imperial concubine, who was like a deputy queen, in charge of the Phoenix seal and the management of palace affairs.

When the news reached Longxi, Zhao Xu asked Yu He, the head of the Bairi Club, to bring Zhao Yu precious medicinal materials, gold, silver and jewels, and even a secret letter.

As soon as Concubine Zhao finished reading the letter, she puffed out her belly that night and told Xuanyuan Xin how miserable Princess Fansu was in a bitter cold place, far away from her hometown and cut off her children, and asked him to restore the position of Prince Xuanyuanhui .

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only refused, but left in a huff, and ordered that when her child was born, he changed the jade certificate and brought it under the queen's knee to raise it.

Zhao Xu, who heard this, couldn't help laughing, and said to Xuanyuan Hui, "She actually believed what evil idea you came up with, it really is because she has long hair but short knowledge."

"It's all left over from playing in the father's palace," Xuanyuan Hui twirled the rosary in his hand, looking like an outsider, "I can only blame your cousin for being so stupid that she really thought you and her were a rope." However, Cui Jinghu and Xiaohui have also been married for a while, why is there no news at all? Are you saying that Xiaohui can't bear children or Cui Jinghu doesn't give birth?"

Zhao Xu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and glared at him, "Why does Your Highness talk about these things about the back house like a gossip woman all day long, it's really going back!"

"Floating and growing hatred, in the future, you will be in a trance, and the days of worrying will come later. If you don't get a little bit of smoke and fire now, when the future is full of smoke and smoke, it will be too late to regret." Xuanyuanhui spoke eloquently.

Bai Suqia announced at this time, "Your Highness, the young master is here."

Zhao Xu said pleasantly, "I haven't invited him in yet."

Xuanyuan said sourly: "Zhao Nineteen of Yingchuan really has a lot of friends. He just talked about Young Master Cui of Boling. Which high-ranking family does he come from this time?"

Zhao Xu was busy getting excited, and Bai Su who was beside him said, "It's also from Yingchuan..."

Before he finished speaking, a young man in brocade clothes with a face like a crown jade, sword brows and stars walked in the door with a smile on his face.

Seeing his face clearly, Xuanyuan Hui couldn't help but said in a strange way: "Spring grass is green every year, whether the king and grandson will return, Nineteen Lang, I have been thinking of you hard."

The young man froze in place for a moment, looked at Xuanyuan Hui for a while before asking Zhao Xu: "Cousin, is this His Royal Highness King Su?"

Xuanyuan Hui has a lot of problems, and there are no more than three that are more obvious--extremely bad temper, posturing, and whimsical.Judging by his expression at this moment, it is likely that he has already conceived a masterpiece in his mind.

"My lord is really forgetful. A few days ago, I ran to Shen's mansion, why did I forget my cousin now? His name is Zhao Hu, line 24."

After he mentioned it, Xuanyuan Hui suddenly remembered this matter, and said with a dry smile: "Where is it, it's just a joke. As soon as I saw him, I knew it must be Zhao 24, so handsome, so handsome , apart from the younger brother of the concubine, who else can have such a demeanor?"

Before coming here, Zhao Hue had heard that King Su was afraid of himself like a tiger and was eaten to death by the princess. At that time, he thought it was King Su who released the rumor of self-defilement, but now it seems that it is quite true.

"My servant, Zhao Hu, pays homage to King Su!" The slander turned to the slander, Zhao Hu still saluted respectfully.

Xuanyuan Hui praised: "After all, you are a first-class Chinese who inherits poems and books. This is very polite. But Zhao 24, your brother is good at everything from poetry, song to fu to military strategy. What is your specialty?"

Zhao Hue smiled humbly, "I was stupid since I was a child, and I was always puzzled by the books of sages and sages. I was only interested in those heretical ways, but I didn't have great success. The only thing I can get out of is my arithmetic. My brother recommended me to enter the Taixue, and I found a lot of isolated copies of the study of business management..."

Xuanyuan Hui turned to look at Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu just nodded, remembering that he had planned for himself so long ago, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, so he said softly: "In that case, you should follow Shen Mi to look around first. .”

"Afterwards, you write a strategy, and I'll see if you've improved over the years." Zhao Xu interjected.

Xuanyuan Hui got up, wanted to pat Zhao Huo on the shoulder, but put it down again for some reason, "Go wash and rest first, in the evening I will hold a banquet in Cui Liuju to welcome you and introduce you."

Seeing that Zhao Huo was still a little hesitant, Xuanyuan Hui said, "Don't worry, all you will see tonight are your confidantes."

Only then did Zhao Hu politely retreat.

Holding Zhao Xu's shoulder, Xuanyuan Hui said softly, "Thank you."

Zhao Xu looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Why do you say thank you between you and me?"

Xuanyuan Hui was not without surprise to realize that he had the urge to be intimate with him again, so he had no choice but to scold himself while forcing himself to suppress the scrambling in his heart, and pretended to be polite: "It's just that I think the princess is very insightful in business. , no matter how powerful Zhao Hue is, can he still surpass you?"

"I was a petty brawler, and I couldn't get on the stage," Zhao Xu pressed his hand on his shoulder, "I'm even in the same class, and I'm not as good as him. He was good at mental arithmetic when he was young. Before I came to Suzhou I accidentally discovered that he was also very knowledgeable in astronomy and calendar, so I tested him with Guanzi, and he answered fluently, I had this in mind at the time, but I never imagined that I would use it now.”

Xuanyuan Hui looked at the hands that the two shook hands, and was a little distracted for a while, but he remembered what happened to Meng Lang earlier, so he had to force himself to suppress it.

Zhao Xu picked up the rosary beads on Xuanyuan Hui's wrist, looked carefully, "It's not bad."

Xuanyuan Hui was stunned for a moment, looked at Longyan Bodhi's one hundred and seven rosary beads and the luminous mother-of-pearl bead, "Maybe it's because I have been sincere recently and often recite scriptures."

Zhao Xu lowered her head and smiled, and let go of him, but she was thinking in her heart—it seems that the prince has recovered from the previous emperor's affairs, and he has taken care of him well recently.

There were indeed not many people at the dinner party, apart from the host Su Wang and his wife, the host guest Zhao Hue, the host accompanying Shen Mi, and a few farmers and food, there was no one else.

Zhao Hue was born in a great family, so he is gentle and elegant, and his conversation is good, Shen Mi who is beside him is very satisfied.

Xuanyuan Hui saw the figure behind the screen outside the elegant room, and he knew it in his heart, so he said in a pleasant way: "Does Mr. 24 have a family? If he has one, he will take him along with him?"

Zhao Huo seemed to be choking, put down the bamboo chopsticks and replied: "I haven't married a wife yet."

"What about Tongfang?" Shen Mi asked immediately.

Xuanyuan Hui glanced at him with hatred, and then heard Zhao Huo reply politely, "My Zhao family in Yingchuan has a very strict family style. Before marriage, there are no housemates. These cousins ​​also know about it."

Shen Mi couldn't help being satisfied, and the look in Zhao Hue's eyes became more and more explicit and loving, which made Zhao Xu who was beside him couldn't help but laugh.

"Forget it, there is just one difficulty," Xuanyuan Hui said narrowly, "24 Lang, if you live in the Wangfu, you can only live in the Li Building, which is the room where your cousin and I live... It's a bit inconvenient after all. "

He was shameless, but Zhao Hue blushed handsomely, "Then I can just rent a small courtyard in the city."

"You happen to want to learn from Mr. Shen, why not live in his house, Mr. Shen, do you have any objections?" Zhao Xu understood and urged.

"Where it is, you can ask for it."

So, the matter was settled.
