"What did the Queen Mother say when she called you over?"

The Zhao siblings were sitting on the carriage returning home.

'They say I am a traitor and a traitor who has evil thoughts about the Queen Mother of the dynasty.'

Zhao Cuo muttered in his heart. Of course, he would not show any abnormality on the surface. He should report good news to his family rather than bad news.

"The empress asked me to go over and report on the corruption case involving Beijing officials."

"You are so favored by the Holy Spirit and don't know whether you are right or wrong, good or bad."

Zhao Shangxin sighed softly when he heard the words, then opened his mouth to say something more but hesitated. Finally, he raised his hand, took his hand, held it in his palm and rubbed it gently.

'Why are you still so depressed?'

Zhao Cuo was a little confused.

"When I was in the academy, I wanted to hold my sister's hand all the time and you refused. Now you're taking the initiative? A woman's face changes so quickly that you can't react."

He said weird things to liven up the atmosphere.

"You are really getting more and more skilled at teasing my sister!"

Miss Zhao was a little annoyed and raised her hand to lightly hit his shoulder.

"What kind of place is the academy? How can you let so many outsiders wander around and not be happy if you don't hold my hand?"

She hugged Zhao Cuo's arm directly with an angry look on her face.

"If it's my fault, it doesn't matter if I let you hold my sister's hand while she sleeps."

"Well……"

Zhao Cuo, who didn't expect his sister to have such a big reaction, felt ashamed for a moment.

"Sister means!"

Zhao Sangxin, who had said something strange in a moment of anger after realizing it, quickly changed his words.

"I won't make a mistake. You kept holding my hand in the academy, not to alienate you."

"Then can I hold your hand and fall asleep tonight, sister?"

Young Master Zhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Do you want to die?"

You Xin said angrily and gave him a charming eye roll.

"You are such an adult and you still want your sister to put you to sleep?"

"I'm only eighteen and still a kid, okay?"

Zhao Cuo said with conviction.

"I'm so shameless."

Miss Zhao, dumbfounded, raised her hand and pinched the bridge of his handsome nose.

"No other son is a father at your age."

"That's what my sister said." Zhao Cuo nodded in agreement, "It seems my marriage should be put on the agenda."

"Eh……"

Zhao Sangxin's face visibly stiffened, and then she hugged her brother's arms tighter, turned her head and said awkwardly in a gentle tone:

"In fact, I have always thought that fifteen or sixteen is not the appropriate age for marriage. How can one be a parent when their children are not well grown? Look at my sister, who is twenty years old and has not yet left the government? So I am wrong about your marriage.

Don't rush, I will help you keep an eye on the good girls in Beijing."

"Sister, do you want to introduce me to a beauty?"

Zhao Cuo couldn't hold back his smile.

"Of course I have to personally take care of the major events in Cuo'er's life."

Zhao Shangxin's charming peach blossom eyes reveal seriousness and prudence.

"A woman who can marry into our Zhao family as a daughter-in-law must not only have good looks, but also have a body that is good for childbearing. Only in this way can she contribute to the success of our Duke Zheng's family."

Zhao Cuo found out that his sister had rejected the princess whom he had married in eight carriages.

"In addition to appearance and figure, one must also have good moral character and talent. Being virtuous and virtuous is the basic requirement. Needless to say, you must be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You must also have the ability to manage the world in order to be your good wife."

"Sister, why do you keep talking more and more outrageously?"

Young Master Zhao almost lost his confidence when he heard this.

"How can there be such a woman in the world? If I really want to use this as a standard for marrying a wife, I'm afraid I will end up alone."

"Just because you can't find it yet doesn't mean it's not available."

He also knew that it was Zhao Changxin who had made an almost impossible high request, and smiled.

"So I suddenly thought of a candidate!"

Zhao mistakenly slapped his thigh!

"She is...a girl from which family?"

Miss Zhao's heart suddenly "thumped".

She just opened her mouth and came. There really isn't such a strange woman, right?

So by saying so much, wouldn’t it be like shooting yourself in the foot?

"This woman embodies the beauty of heaven and earth and embodies the splendor of mountains and rivers."

Zhao Cuo said seriously.

"Um……"

The smile on Shang Xin's face became a little forced. When Mr. Zhao opened his mouth and said these two words, she felt that a stunning woman was standing before her eyes, and an uncontrollable sourness filled her heart.

"She came from an ordinary or even humble background. Even so, she could not hide her splendor. Her appearance as a child was endearing."

Miss Zhao felt something was wrong but did not interrupt her brother's speech.

"Once she entered a high-ranking family, she transformed into a noble girl, and she cultivated Hui Zhilan's heart with caution. In the year of hairpin, she attracted criticism. In anger, she disguised herself as a man and entered the imperial examination room. The publication of his articles on world governance caused many disputes among the great Confucians.

Accepting a disciple..."

"You bad thing!"

Zhao Shangxin didn't realize that he was talking about himself, so he blushed and reached out to knock his brother's forehead, but the corners of his pink lips rose uncontrollably.

"Young Master Zhao has such a sharp tongue, but he dares to speak so openly and glibly to my sister. I don't know how many girls will lose their souls under your words in the future."

She preached with a straight face to hide the joy in her heart.

"I have only said such kind words to my sister."

Zhao Cuo looked at his sister who was so happy with his sweet words, and he felt relieved for a moment. Although he didn't know why she was depressed just now, it would be nice to make her happy.

"Is this what you say to every confidante now?"

Zhao Shanxin didn't believe what his brother, who was now so deceptive, said.

The carriage galloped all the way back to Zheng Guogong's Mansion before it was completely dark.

The two siblings, who had had dinner together, were going to go back to their rooms to rest.

"etc."

Zhao Cuo, who had just stood up and said he wanted to go back to the room, was stopped by his elder sister again.

"Sister, let me take you back to your room... I want to say something to you."

A gentle smile hung on her pleasant white face.

"good."

Although Young Master Zhao felt a little strange, he still nodded and walked towards the dormitory with Miss Changxin, who was the most important in his heart. He thought that his elder sister wanted to say something important, but it turned out to be just commonplace.

"Good night……"

When he arrived at the door of the room, he said goodbye to Zhao Sangxin and turned around to enter the house. However, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, a soft body was hugged from behind.

'What is rhythm?'

Zhao Cuo looked down in shock at the slender jade arms around his waist.

"Wrong."

He could feel his sister pressing her face against his back.

"Sister is actually very happy today but a little overwhelmed."

Youxin spoke in a gentle but somewhat muffled voice.

"I never hope that you will be a great man with the world in mind. Although I feel honored after you wrote that sentence today, I blame you in my heart for why you want to act like a hero. You are my sister's darling,
