After squinting for a while, Donghua slightly opened his eyes, and Chaoyue in his arms was already looking out the window.

Donghua sighed and asked: "Still awake?" Then he hugged Chaoyue a little tighter.

Seeing Donghua wake up, Chaoyue put her head in front of Donghua and sighed: "How can I sleep? Let's not talk about father and elder brother right now. You changed the subject and distracted Si'er. He didn't notice it at the time. But when I think about it later, I still think that I should be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is true about his age, he is indeed more qualified than Qingque."

Donghua gently rubbed Chaoyue's hair and said softly: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, let's prepare to go up to court first. It shouldn't be too early for the two of them today."

Chaoyue nodded and looked out the window, but Donghua pulled Chaoyue closer to him: "By the way, that child's cold and proud spirit is quite similar to Yue'er." After finishing speaking, he smiled slightly Looking at the moon.

Chaoyue forced a smile, knowing that Donghua was deliberately teasing herself again, so she leaned closer to Donghua and hugged her tightly.

Donghua looked at Chaoyue's reddish eyes and felt a little unbearable, but Donghua knew that Chaoyue would never abolish the public because of private interests, even if this private matter had already involved the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty.Donghua also naturally understands that Chaoyue is unwilling to publicize this matter. After all, this matter involves her father and brother, how can she let them rest in peace under Jiuquan, so Donghua will naturally not try to persuade Chaoyue to have no money here. Going to the morning court, the only thing I can do at this moment is to accompany her, and stay with her every step of the way.

After the early court was over, there was no one waiting in the Zichen Hall, and Chaoyue was a little relieved.

Donghua's eyes were full of concern: "Go and rest first."

Chaoyue looked up at Donghua with tired eyes: "What about you?"

Donghua smiled slightly: "Go quickly, I'll read a book here, if something happens, I won't let you sleep in the daytime."

Chaoyue understood where Donghua was reading, and just kept here for herself.

Seeing Chaoyue standing still, Donghua stepped forward and said softly, "If you don't want to go, do you want me to carry you?" After speaking, he pressed a light kiss on Chaoyue's forehead.

A smile curled up on the corners of Chaoyue's helpless lips. If Xiang'er hadn't been there at the moment, she would have been picked up by Donghua long ago.

Immediately, Xiang'er followed Chaoyue to the inner hall under Donghua's signal.

After a while, Xiang'er came out of the inner hall and said to Donghua: "The princess has already slept, what orders does the son-in-law have?" Xiang'er knew that the son-in-law never kept anyone around except the princess.

Donghua didn't answer, but motioned for Xiang'er to sit down.

How could Xiang'er dare to sit down? Don't look at this son-in-law's graceful face, but she has always been gentle to the princess alone.Leaving aside the difference of superiority and inferiority, even though she is quite familiar with Xiang'er now, she still cannot forget all the horrific actions of this son-in-law before.

Seeing that Xiang'er was not sitting down, Donghua frowned slightly and said, "I just have something to ask you."

Xiang'er was so nervous that she didn't dare to look directly at Donghua, she just lowered her head and said, "Xiang'er doesn't dare to break the rules, what does the son-in-law want to ask? Xiang'er should know everything."

Donghua nodded: "You have to talk endlessly." No matter if you don't sit, the rules are naturally still the rules.

Xiang'er was even more nervous when she said this, and secretly raised her eyes to look at Donghua.

"Then who is Zheng Qixu?" Donghua showed no expression.

Fortunately, just asking this, Xiang'er relaxed a little and replied: "It's the princess's cousin, and the three of them often played together since childhood."

After Xiang'er finished speaking, she saw Donghua still looking at her. The son-in-law seemed not satisfied with the answer.

Seeing that Xiang'er was at a loss, Donghua could only continue to ask, "Where did he come from? Who was his ancestor?"

After thinking about it carefully, Xiang'er replied: "If Xiang'er remembers correctly, his grandfather's name was Zheng Wanjun, he was a celebrity at that time, he was very good at calligraphy, and later became the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. He became the cousin of the princess because he married a princess, who seems to be a royal sister of Mrs. Qi."

Donghua couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "This man's ancestors are all sons-in-law?"

Xiang'er nodded: "Well, not only that, the princesses he married were all his cousins, just like his grandfather married Emperor Xuanzong's imperial sister, and his father married the late emperor's imperial sister. It's so special Only then will I remember."

Donghua said coldly: "According to this, Zheng Qixu is also supposed to marry the daughter of the late emperor?"

Xiang'er tilted her head and thought about it and nodded: "It should be."

Donghua snorted coldly and continued to ask: "He and the princess have often played together since childhood?"

Xiang'er smiled and replied: "Yes, the princess has had many cousins ​​since she was a child, but she loves to play with him and the prince the most, and those other cousins ​​don't care much."

Xiang'er was already clever, and when she saw Donghua's face turning pale when she said this, she immediately understood what was going on, and immediately regretted what she said.

Xiang'er looked at Donghua tremblingly and said: "Xiang'er...Xiang'er shouldn't talk too much, don't tell the princess that you heard it from Xiang'er when you turn around." After saying goodbye, don't wait for Donghua to answer Just slipped away.

At this moment, Donghua only felt that he was so stupid yesterday. At first, he obviously felt that the expression and behavior of the surnamed Zheng were a little weird, but he felt relieved after hearing Chaoyue call his cousin, but he actually forgot the damn expression. The elder brother is the official matchmaker for the cousin in the eyes of the matchmaker, and this man is also the ancestral son-in-law!

Donghua gritted his teeth when he thought of this, the man surnamed Zheng came back with the boy Li Si to ask for the crown prince, he didn't know what he really wanted!The four words of childhood sweetheart suddenly popped up in Donghua's mind. Donghua had never realized that these four words were so hateful before, but now these four words seemed to be singing, dancing and dancing with himself in his mind. While playing hide-and-seek, I was turned around by them and couldn't figure out the direction at all, but the four of them were holding hands and laughing at myself.

After a long time, Xiang'er came back quietly on tiptoe, but seeing that Donghua's complexion was uglier than before, she didn't dare to stay for a while, and stammered that she was afraid that the princess would wake up and ask someone to serve her, so she ran away quickly Went into the inner hall.

How can Donghua care about Xiang'er, he still hates the person surnamed Zheng in his heart, but his surname is Zheng, but he is not upright at all. Is it not enough for him to figure out Chaoyue's identity at this time after the long journey to Chang'an?And even dare to say the word Wangqing, what can he forget!What do you call a dignified man with such an inexplicable name? Could it be that he is praying at home every day that God can promise the princesses of each dynasty to his descendants of the Zheng family!I have never heard of such a brazen consort!

Thinking of this, Donghua thought that although the Zheng man was not good, he shouldn't scold his ancestors together, so he should just scold him as a brazen and shameless person.

At this time, people outside the door summoned the king to have an audience with rumors.It was only then that Donghua realized that it was very inappropriate for Li Si to blatantly say that he was the king of Zhao. If Chaoyue didn't want to make it public, everyone would know about it. Fortunately, it was Li Guangbi yesterday.

Thinking of this, Donghua couldn't help but sternly said to the man: "No one should say anything about these two people entering the palace."

Seeing Donghua's stern expression, the man couldn't help being terrified, but hesitated for a moment and said tremblingly: "But many people saw these two people entering the palace yesterday."

Donghua raised his torch-like eyes to look at the man: "Do you want me to say it again?"

The man hurriedly knelt down: "Don't dare! I don't dare! Go outside the hall to deliver the order." After speaking, he ran out of the hall without daring to catch his breath.

Donghua was already furious because of the surname Zheng, but now he still said Cao Cao, so Cao Cao really came here by himself.Donghua saw that Zheng Qixu was walking towards him step by step beside Li Si, and couldn't help thinking that it was indeed a love rival meeting, and he was extremely jealous.Thinking of this, Donghua was startled, and he automatically classified the person surnamed Zheng as a rival in love, but then he thought that the person surnamed Zheng was not kind, and he was a rival in love in the first place, so you don't need to be polite.

When Zheng Qixu saw Donghua, he was about to kneel down and bow down, Donghua waved his sleeves: "Forget it." Why are you pretending to worship, and he has snatched the position of Zheng's son-in-law, I'm afraid he has long wished to have it Cramp yourself to the bone.

Zheng Qixu didn't insist and just bowed down, but the young Li Si still knelt down and bowed respectfully: "Li Si pays homage to the Holy King."

Donghua hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Si up: "You don't need to perform this grand ceremony when you see me, but you just need to remember to observe the courtesy when you see His Majesty."

Donghua saw that the young Li Si nodded to himself unexpectedly, he was not as rebellious as yesterday at all, and he said with a clear expression: "I have heard that the sage is a maverick, and he doesn't stick to the rules. The formal section, it’s really like this.”

Donghua raised his eyebrows: "There are so many rumors among the people?"

Before Li Si could answer, Zheng Qixu immediately stepped forward and replied: "There are indeed many, but more of them are between the Holy King and the current Holy Lord. I heard that the Holy King and the princess were quite unhappy when he was a son-in-law. .”

This sentence ignited Donghua's anger that had been calmed down a little. Donghua suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Your Majesty is resting, you go back first, and His Majesty will send someone to pass it on when he wakes up."

Zheng Qixu looked up at the empty dragon chair, his expression was a little gloomy, and then he bowed and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he lifted his footsteps, Chaoyue's voice sounded in the hall: "But is Cousin Xu Xu here?"

Zheng Qixu was overjoyed in a blink of an eye, followed the voice to look over, and then respectfully bowed to Chaoyue.

Chaoyue has already stepped forward to help him up: "My cousin sees Chaoyue in the future, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

Zheng Qixu hurriedly said: "Prayer dare not." But there was an indescribable joy in his brows and eyes.

Xiang'er secretly glanced at Donghua. For a long time, she had never seen the prince's son-in-law's complexion so astounding. It was a kind of coldness that was completely different from anger and murderousness.

But Chaoyue didn't seem to notice anything unusual, she still asked Zheng Qixu: "Have cousin and Si'er rested?"

When young Li Si saw Chaoyue looking at him, he bowed respectfully as Donghua said.

After being stunned for a moment, Chaoyue also stepped forward to help him up, but she simply said: "Excuse me."

Xiang'er saw that the four of them seemed a little mysterious to each other, so she retreated out of the palace tactfully. Don't make any more fuss.
