[comprehensive] superior skills

In the outer courtyard of the Princess Mansion, a three-trial joint trial with the two royal magnates as the chief judge and Kaifeng Governor Bao Zheng as the judge kicked off.

In the hall, the mother of the country, Empress Dowager Liu, sat solemnly at the head of the main hall, and the emperor Zhao Zhen, who was dressed in moon-white casual clothes, sat at her lower seat. .

Bao Zheng, who also stayed up all night and toiled in every possible way, had to stand at the side of the hall as a subordinate official, looking worriedly at the red-clothed guards kneeling in the center of the hall.

Swinging back Guo Huai, who was about to serve tea, Empress Dowager Liu carefully looked at the man who was still arrogant even though he was in a dangerous situation, and after pondering for a moment, she asked, "Your Majesty, the person in this hall is your kinsman." Feng's royal cat Zhan Zhao?"

Although this person is only a martial artist, his demeanor is much stronger than that of Chen Shimei, who was obsessed with profit and greedy, and even his appearance can be regarded as dignified.

Afraid of getting burned, Zhao Zhen hurriedly laughed and said: "After reporting back to my mother, it was Kaifeng Prefecture Governor Bao Zheng who introduced a chivalrous man from the Jianghu to me at first, and that's why he performed at Yaowu Tower that day. I saw him in person. The agility and agility are quite extraordinary, so I opened the imperial seal of the fourth-rank guard with a sword."

Including the number one scholar, he himself only cherished his talents because he saw Chen Shimei's handsome appearance and good conversation during the imperial rehearsal, and wanted to make a good relationship for the imperial sister.How could he have expected that there would be such audacious people in the world who dared to deceive the royal family and deceive the saints.

Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and disrupted the marriage, otherwise he would have been complained by his mother and imperial sister.

Empress Dowager Liu nodded slightly and then gave another knowing blow, "Bao Qing's family has a good vision, better than your messy imperial brother!"

Success is Xiao He, Xiao He is defeated. Although the emperor she raised with her own hands is a rare filial and kind person, it is precisely because of his good temper that the treacherous Chen Shimei and others dare to act recklessly.

"This..." Zhao Zhen, who is used to being filial, respecting his mother and loving his sister, had no choice but to admit his mistake, "It's all because the emperor didn't check for a while and was deceived by the gangsters, and almost missed Tianyou's life."

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Liu also knew that she had to save the emperor some face in front of her courtiers, so she changed the subject and said to the kneeling man, "Zhan Zhao, the Ai family ordered you to get up and answer."

Seeing that the people in the hall turned their attention to Bao Zheng with a sad face, Zhao Zhen, who did not want the country to lose its talents, couldn't help urging: "Zhan Zhao, the Queen Mother intends to spare you, why don't you receive an order to thank you immediately?"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, and thank you, Your Majesty." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and saluted after glancing at Master Bao who nodded secretly.

After he got up, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but praised with satisfaction: "What a handsome and well-behaved man. Ai asked you, how old are you this year? Where is your hometown? Is there someone Gao Tang in the room?"

Although Zhan Zhao was puzzled, he still answered honestly: "The Queen Mother, I was originally from Wujin, Changzhou. There is no high hall in my family, and there is only an old servant who lives in my hometown and rents a house. Because I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, I have no other talents." , 26 years of time have been wasted."

Bao Zheng, who was standing by the side, had realized something from this conversation, and when he thought of Mr. Gongsun's hexagrams, he couldn't help but smile.

"Well, the age is also appropriate."

After silently counting in her heart, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly said: "Last night, there was such a big change, Tianyou still doesn't know how to be terrified and uneasy, Ai's family is in a hurry to visit her. Emperor, let this person be handled by you .”

Zhao Zhen might as well let his mother let Zhan Weiwei go so easily, and quickly said: "My son leads the order."

Amid the greetings from the other three people in the hall, Empress Dowager Liu hurriedly came to the boudoir in the inner courtyard, and before entering the room, she called out in multiple voices: "Don't be afraid, my son, mother is coming to see you!"

Song Ci, who was feasting on the Northern Song version of Malatang dish in the house, hurriedly wiped off the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly covered the dishes on the round table with a cover, before turning around and throwing himself on the bed with a distraught expression.

As soon as Fang smelled the smell of water that hadn't dissipated, Empress Dowager Liu, who was about to step into the house, shook her head with a smile, and teased her beloved daughter who was still sobbing: "The Ai family doesn't know why Yi'er is like this." Sad, is it because today's boiled vegetables are too bland?"

"Queen, you're here to make fun of me again!"

Ever since he took over the memory of the original owner, Song Ci has admired the abandoned empress who never forgot to leave a way for her daughter until her death, so she threw herself into her arms and said coquettishly: "What a happy day! After making such a big joke, don’t you allow people to be sad?”

Empress Dowager Liu looked at her daughter's ruddy face lovingly, and seeing that she had never been wronged at all, she said with emotion: "Your daughter is Mo Ruomu, in the early years you didn't even care about using the first emperor's book to set fire to the fruit and eat it. How could you be distracted by little Chen Shimei?"

"Queen! You're bringing up other embarrassing things again!"

Song Ci Buyi said: "The boy was still young at that time, so naturally he didn't understand the truth that the power of heaven is hard to offend! The boy just didn't like that Chen Shimei, who was just a little sour scholar, dared to bully me! Empress, did you talk to me?" Brother Huang discussed how to deal with him?"

Empress Dowager Liu paused when she heard the words, "The Ai family also deeply hates Bao Xinglang who almost ruined you, but after much deliberation, the Ai family still feels that it is not appropriate to make a big fuss. After all, killing Chen Shimei is a small matter. Once it gets out, wouldn't it be Harm your reputation?"

She made up her mind in her heart that when this matter gradually faded away, she must let Chen Shimei die without a burial place to repay the shame of today.

"It's best for my mother to treat me! It's not like the emperor brother, who can't even know people with his eyes."

He hugged Empress Dowager Liu's arm affectionately, and Song Ci rolled his eyes, "But we can't just take advantage of that Chen Shimei. Didn't he want to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix and abandon his wife and son? The queen mother would like to let Chen Shimei and his A wife is never allowed to reconcile and leave, let's see what a well-known married man would use to cling to a noble daughter."

With this decree, there is no fear that Chen Shimei will divorce Qin Xianglian afterwards to vent her anger, let alone that this scumbag will change his appearance to hook up with other wealthy businessmen.

After all, in ancient times, news transmission was not well-informed and there was no ID card available. If that Phoenix man got a fake guide and went to a remote area to be a son-in-law for a merchant, he would have a good life if he forbeared for 20 years and then cultivated another champion man.

"Yi'er is right."

The empress dowager Liu, who was deeply convinced, then ordered the chief eunuch who stood aside and looked at the mother and daughter with a smile: "Guo Huai, you go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to pass on the decree of the Ai family, and say that the Ai family was moved by the Qin family's presence." On the way to escape from famine, he never forsook his filial piety to support his parents-in-law. He couldn't bear to see his husband and wife separated, so he returned the son-in-law to Zhao. It was God's will. Since they were married for the second time in Zhuangyuan's mansion, the Ai family gave this mansion to their family. It is free from the pain of tossing and drifting."

"Slaves obey the order." After Guo Huai bowed to accept the order, he immediately turned to Zhuangyuan Mansion to read out the Queen Mother's oral order.

Not to mention how surprised and angry Chen Shimei and his group were when they received the decree, but only said that the mother and daughter, the mother and daughter who were alone in the room talking about their thoughts, finally inevitably talked about the successor candidates.

"Yi'er, what do you think of the guards in Kaifeng mansion?" Queen Mother Liu asked softly, holding her hand.

"That smelly cat?"

Hearing this, Song Ci wrinkled his nose, "It's not that good, I just pretended to be frightened to scare him when I got up early that day, and the cat was so frightened that I couldn't cope with it. Ask for it."

Empress Dowager Liu nodded amusedly, "You are a villain, even your father and brother can't stand your little tricks, let alone Zhanwei who dare not act rashly because of superiority and inferiority?"

After the laughing talk, she gently put her arms around her daughter and persuaded her: "The Ai family thinks that Zhan Huwei is a good candidate for the master. It is said that things of a kind gather and people are divided into groups. It is enough for him to pursue that black charcoal head wholeheartedly." It can be seen that he is a chivalrous person with justice in his heart, and he will never do the scandalous thing of abandoning his wife and children for the sake of fame and fortune like Chen Shimei."

"That Zhan Zhao is now alone. If you marry him, you won't have to suffer from serving your parents-in-law. At that time, you will be the only one in charge of the huge princess mansion, and you can do whatever you want."

Empress Dowager Liu looked at her daughter's expression while talking, and saw that although she was silent, her eyes were always looking at the giant sword on the dressing table unconsciously, and her heart was like a mirror.

"Since Yi'er never refused, Empress Mother will accept this marriage as you." Empress Dowager Liu said happily.

Finally blushing, Song Ci pretended to be shy and said: "Everything is up to the mother and the emperor's brother."

Tianyou Diji, who died young, apart from regretting not being able to keep her mother and children, her deepest obsession before she died was to find a good marriage again, because in her view, being cheated into marrying Chen Shimei was the beginning of all tragedies, and as a successor, it was naturally impossible. Repeat the same mistakes.

In the eyes of Song Ci, only Yumao, who worked in Kaifeng Mansion, was the best husband-in-law in the whole Northern Song Dynasty.

Just like Zhao Zhen didn't think about marrying Yumei to Zhan Zhao even if he personally gave him the title of Yumao, only a dignified literati like Chen Shimei is the first choice for the royal family to choose a son-in-law.Now that the Queen Mother has finally been coaxed into marrying her, it's not in vain for her to go around in circles and make a big show.

"Mother's queen!" Song Ci, who was happy to fulfill the original owner's wish, pretended to be a shy child and lay in the arms of the cheap mother, refusing to show her face.

"Okay, okay, the queen mother didn't say anything more!"

Empress Dowager Liu told another eunuch who was standing at the door instead of Guo Huai: "Go and tell the emperor, and tell the Ai family to keep Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao for the banquet. It's rare that the weather is sunny today, so let's arrange the banquet." In the garden pavilion."

Song Ci heard the words and quickly called to the little eunuch, "Mother, my son bought some novel dishes from Hu Shang, and today I will personally cook some new dishes for my mother and the emperor's brother!"

"Yi'er is so elegant, I'm afraid it's a lie to cook for the queen mother, and it's true to worry about other people?" Empress Dowager Liu deliberately coaxed.

"The empress mother's words are so unreasonable. Could it be that in Tianyou's heart, the relatives who accompany him day and night are not as good as a stinky cat?" Song Ciyan said insincerely: "My son's move is just to make up for the last time I teased him. That's all."

"Okay, okay, what God Bless said is good."

Thinking of her beloved daughter's ups and downs in her marriage, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help sighing in her heart: "The girl will not be able to stay. Fortunately, Yi'er is not interested in Chen Shimei, a scum, otherwise, wouldn't it be a chance for him to escape from birth?"

In the front yard, the two Kaifeng people who had not left yet heard that the Empress Dowager Huating gave a banquet, and they all looked at each other in unison.Apart from Bao Zheng, who was already well prepared, even Zhan Zhao had an indescribable anticipation welling up in his heart.

Seeing that the queen mother made it clear that she no longer cared about the past, Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing happily: "It's the queen mother's kindness, so Bao Qing's family and Zhan Huwei don't want to refuse. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have been in Tianyou's princess mansion. It's time to eat."

After a while, an eunuch led the three ministers from the small path on the side of the bamboo forest to the Qionghua Garden, which was piled up with strange stones, beautiful scenery and colorful flowers. A layer of gauze curtains surrounded it and reserved it for the emperor and his mother and sister to have meals, and a table was placed not far from the pavilion to entertain the two courtiers.

Because Song Ci has been prepared for a long time, in addition to the characteristics of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as hemp rot chicken skin, fragrant candy, lychee, quail rice, crab roe buns, fried three-color fresh, spicy soup, wine cooking Huai white fish, etc. The diet also adds a lot of modern hot and cold dishes and various soft spots with novel styles.

Not only did Zhao Zhen and Empress Dowager Liu marvel at these incomparably fresh meals, but even Bao Zheng, who has always been averse to tongue-twisting, couldn't help but twitch his index finger, not to mention Zhan Zhao, who was always in need of nourishment for his muscles and bones. .

After drinking the contents of the cup, Zhao Zhen, whose cheeks were slightly red, couldn't help sighing: "The chef in Yumei's mansion is really the best in the world. I have never had such a delicious imperial banquet in the palace. It is really memorable. ah!"

Empress Dowager Liu also loves the crystal clear fruit wine, "What the emperor should praise is not the master of the stove who has a false reputation, but you, the ingenious royal sister, because the half of the table is full of strange dishes. Cooked by hand."

Hearing this, not only the clear-eyed Zhan Zhao froze slightly, but even Zhao Zhen who was deeply curious couldn't help saying: "Why don't you see Yumei showing her skills in the palace?"

Song Ci pretended to be coquettish and said: "In the past, everyone in the palace stared at Tianyou, and even the queen mother didn't allow Tianyou to be naughty. Now it's so easy to move to the princess's mansion that no one dares to stop him, so naturally he can do whatever he wants. The emperor If brother likes these foods, Tianyou will copy a copy of the menu for you, presumably the royal chef in the palace will make more exquisite ones."

"Not necessarily."

Empress Dowager Liu looked at the blurred red shadow outside the gauze curtain and teased meaningfully: "There is nothing difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart. No matter how good this imperial chef is, how can it compare to Yi'er's sincerity!"

Inexplicably, the Son of Heaven followed the eyes of the Empress Dowager and looked at the red-clothed bodyguard sitting beside Bao Zheng, vaguely feeling that something great was about to happen.

The author has something to say:

Song Ci: The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, and the Empress Dowager Liu looks at the royal cat.

Eight glasses of water a day~~

The following is the happy little theater

―――The post-marriage routine of the Princess Mansion.

Dynasty: "It's not good! Princess, Master Zhan is injured!"

Song Ci: Don't say anything else, pour water with amulets.

Ma Han: "It's not good! Princess, Mr. Zhan has been poisoned!"

Song Ci: If there is nothing to say, pour water into the amulet.

Zhang Long: "It's not good! Princess, Mr. Zhan has lost his memory!"

Song Ci: "Great! I can finally get rid of this troublemaker!"

Zhan Xiaomao: "Mom, why did you throw Dad out?"

Song Ci: "Hey, your father went to Hainan Island to buy you a clay figurine, and he will come back when you grow up."

Zhao Hu: ...Why did you stop when you came to me, at least give me a chance to play.
