wait for another year

"Meet the national teacher." Xuanyuan Hui took a few steps forward and saluted the national teacher. Zhao Xu stood behind him, although his head was lowered, he still looked at him from the corner of his eye.

It just so happened that the other party was also looking at him, and there was no emotion in Tie Hui's eyes.

Zhao Xu's complexion remained unchanged, and he bent down a little lower until even the sand mixed with the loess could be seen.

"I've seen the prince." The national teacher asked Xuanyuan Hui for a moment, helped him up, and glanced at him: "After one or two years, the prince seems to hide a little more, and he is already a great man who stands up to heaven and earth."

Xuanyuan Hui was eight feet tall, and he was quite proud of it, so he said with a smile: "It's thanks to my uncle and the national teacher."

Zhao Xu slandered in his heart - a nephew is like an uncle, it's all for the blessing of Huihe Khan, the national teacher has no blood relationship with him, and he never fed him half a grain of rice, how could he have anything to do with him again?

"By the way, this is Princess Su Zhao Xu whom I mentioned to the national teacher last time."

Zhao Xu came back to his senses, and saluted the national teacher respectfully, "Zhao Shijiu from Yingchuan has seen the national teacher, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

"My concubine is very polite," the national teacher said lightly, and then stopped talking.

He has a withdrawn temperament, and Xuanyuan Hui had already experienced it in Huihe, so he was not too embarrassed, "I guess some of you are tired from the journey, why don't you go back to the mansion to rest for a while, and then talk about it at the family banquet?"

The national teacher nodded in agreement, gave up his horse, and changed to the carriage prepared by the palace. Zhao Huo seemed to be familiar with him these days, and followed him, but the moment he got into the carriage, he gave Zhao Xu a hug. There was ridicule and pity at the same time, in short, the extremely subtle eyes, Zhao Xu was stunned at first, then realized something when he saw Xuanyuan Hui beside him, shook his head and smiled.

Back at the palace, the national teacher went to rest and didn't mention it, but Zhao Hu followed Zhao Xu silently and pulled him aside.Since coming to Suzhou, Zhao Hue hadn't found a chance to talk to Zhao Xu yet, so he seemed a little anxious at this moment, "Cousin has suffered all these years."

Zhao Xu had a half-smile, "Cousin, speak carefully."

Zhao Hue was agitated at first, looking around, and found that he was full of cronies, so he was relieved, "I went to pay a visit to the Duke of the county before I came here, and he told me all the ins and outs. After arriving in Suzhou, I stayed at the residence of Lord Shen. He also told me clearly that you and the prince are named husband and wife, but they are actually monarchs and ministers, and the lingering love is really a show for Deng Dang."

"Oh? Isn't that the case?" Zhao Xu signaled Bai Su to bring two vouchers, and added more tea, and the two sat facing each other in the garden to drink tea.

Zhao Huo smiled wryly, "I hope so, but this scene is too real."

Seeing Zhao Xu continuing to drink tea indifferently, Zhao Huo hesitated again: "Yu Gong, you and I are monarchs and ministers, Yu private, you and I are brothers, you are both elders, I shouldn't speculate, but..."

Seeing him so hesitant to speak, Zhao Xu couldn't help being amused, "But how?"

"But you've been kind to me since you were a child. I can't bear to see you working hard for Suzhou, but in the end..." Zhao Huo boldly said, "You've been entrusted to no one, and your evening scene is bleak."

What he said was presumptuous, but Zhao Xu didn't look annoyed, instead he smiled leisurely and poured tea for Zhao Huo himself, "First, the prince and I are innocent now, not the 'chaos and abandonment' as you think; Second, everything I have done is not only for the prince, but also for the Zhao family of Yingchuan, and even for myself; third, in my life, I never forget to leave behind. Bar."

He lifted the weight lightly, and Zhao Hue felt relieved, "I was the one who was abrupt."

"You are also concerned about chaos." Zhao Xu smiled, "By the way, the daughter of Shen Mi's family..."

Zhao Huo interrupted him with a light cough, suspicious redness appeared on the pinnae of the ears, "If a man and a woman are not intimate, it's better not to talk nonsense, it will ruin the reputation of the girl's family."

He was at a loss, but Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing—the daughter of Shen Mi's family has stayed in Suzhou for these years, and she has also absorbed a little of the heroic spirit of northern women. When she met Zhao Hue behind the screen before, she secretly agreed. It was inconvenient to meet him due to etiquette, so he was thinking of ways to provoke him all day long.Either cook a small dish by yourself and send it to the maidservant, or ask Shen Mi to bring a few couplets and poems to Zhao Huo. If you lose money, you can be regarded as enlightened to the folk customs, and you are not as strict with women as before. The young lady will probably be sent to some temple to be an aunt.

Although this marriage is an inevitable move to merge the original forces of Beijing, China and Suzhou, if the two do not match up and wronged the cousin, it is not beautiful. Seeing him like this, Zhao Xu felt relieved.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, you can go to rest first, and we will have a secret talk with the national teacher in the evening."

In the Li building, the two peach charms of "Biyi" and "Yu Fei" swayed in the wind, colliding with each other from time to time.

Xuanyuan Hui was taking a nap, lying stretched out, and there happened to be half a couch vacant, and he didn't know who to leave it for.

Zhao Xu lay down next to him with her lips pursed, her mind was full of Zhao Hue's words just now, "The entrustment is not human, and the evening scene is bleak".

Just like what he said in the storybook that he brought out from Chang'an from time to time, lovers in the world, it's always good to look at what to do when they are in love, but if there is a gap and no longer agree, then either one of them is in love. Dao sees abandonment and bears all his sincerity, or the two will turn against each other and become strangers since then.

Zhao Xu slowly closed her eyes—he is not a boudoir who has never seen the world, and he can't give his body and mind to one person without reservation. To prepare early is not only to find a way out for himself, but also to start well and end well, and to complete the friendship between the two of them.

"Nineteen?" Xuanyuan Hui was about to wake up, his blue eyes were full of moisture.

Zhao Xu smiled, "Are you awake?"

Xuanyuan Hui rubbed his eyes, his eyes gradually cleared up, and he sat up straight like a carp, "Something happened!"

Startled by him, Zhao Xu also sat up, "What's the matter?"

"That bitch Xiaohui has it!" Xuanyuan Hui gritted his teeth.

Zhao Xu felt relieved, and said with a smile, "If Zhao Yu gives birth to a prince, you and I still need to plan carefully, but Xiaohui is just a princess, whether she is pregnant or not depends on the overall situation..."

"That's why I didn't send anyone to look for you right away, but this child," Xuanyuan Hui interrupted him, said surprisingly, "It's not Cui Jinghu's!"

Zhao Xu's expression suddenly turned strange, "Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true. According to the news from the secret thread in the Princess Mansion, Xiaohui has never summoned Cui Jinghu since the year before last. So where did this child come from?"

Zhao Xu slowly restrained her smile, "This is interesting."
