The day of the month when Mr. Zhao tells stories is a scene in the capital. Especially today, when he talks about Princess Zhenmin, it attracts even more attention.
Even the emperor in the palace was alarmed.
The emperor lowered his face and asked Eunuch Yu, "What's going on?"
Eunuch Yu quickly replied, "Today, Mr. Zhao was originally going to talk about the wild history of the former princess, but I don't know who instigated it, so he temporarily changed it to talk about Princess Zhenmin."
"Go check it out for me!" the emperor ordered.
Eunuch Yu did not go immediately, but reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the young master Zhou and the eldest son of the Su family are at the Yipinxiang Tea House today. Young Master Zhou, taking advantage of the convenience nearby, has sent someone to take away Zhao Lao'er and his son Zhao.
No, I brought him directly to the Protector's Mansion. If I send someone to investigate, I have to go to the Protector's Mansion to bring him out."
As a result, the movement will become louder.
When the emperor heard this, he suppressed his anger, considered it for a moment and said, "That's all, let Zhou Gu investigate first!"
Duanhua returned to the princess's mansion and went directly to her mother's yard.
At this time, Princess Qingping also heard what Mr. Zhao was talking about today, and was about to rush to the Yipinxiang Teahouse when the nun beside her reminded her, "Princess, you forgot, today our princess and the young lady of Ye Xiangfu have an appointment with Su
Miss Seven went to Yipinxiang Teahouse to listen to books."
Princess Qingping paused, then thought about it, and asked her grandma, "You mean, I don't have to go?"
Mammy whispered: "I think Miss Su Qi is smart. Since she is at the scene, she knows how to deal with it."
Qingping was worried, "Even if she knows how to deal with it? How can she deal with it? After all, she has no power now, and she can't do anything to Mr. Zhao?"
"She can't, but someone can. Isn't our princess here? If necessary, she can ask the princess to come forward, and the princess will definitely help her."
Qingping thought the same thing and held back for the time being, "Then let's wait until Duanhua comes back!"
After the two of them finished speaking, Duan Hua hurried in from outside not long after, shouting repeatedly, "Mom, something big has happened."
Qing Ping stood up and faced her, "What's wrong? What's the big deal? Did something happen to Su Rong?"
Duan Hua said "Uh", "Su Rong, what happened to her?"
Qingping was relieved when he heard this, and scolded her, "Then why are you calling me a little name? What on earth is going on?"
Duan Hua immediately told the story, "That's Mr. Zhao. I don't know who ordered him to tell the legendary story of Aunt Zhen in the teahouse today. He told it in detail and in detail. It's better than what you told me."
You know very well that there are some things you haven’t told me that Mr. Zhao knows.”
She picked up a few places and told Qingping, and then confirmed with her, "Mom, you haven't told me any of this, is it true?"
Qingping's face turned ugly, "It's true."
Duan Hua immediately said: "Didn't you always tell me not to mention Aunt Zhen's affairs casually in front of Uncle Huang or outside? So what is going on now? How come a little old man who is a storyteller dares to openly talk about her?
What happened?"
Qingping already felt that this matter might not be simple, so he asked: "Where is Su Rong?"
Although Duan Hua was wondering why her mother kept asking Su Rong, she still said honestly: "Su Rong and Ye Guixue went to Baobao Restaurant for dinner, along with Ye Qiuying and Fengling. I didn't go to eat because of this.
I'm back to see you."
Qingping thought that Su Rong was still in the mood to eat, so it was obvious that it had been dealt with? But no matter what, she still wanted to intervene, so she ordered someone, "Go to Yipinxiang Tea House and bring that old man Zhang to me."
Someone went immediately.
Seeing that her mother had taken action, Duanhua felt relieved, sat down, and asked Qingping strangely: "Mom, I feel like Ye Guixue and Su Rong have known each other for a long time. Has Ye Guixue been to Daliang before?"
Qingping shook his head, "I've never been here before."
"That's it." Duanhua held his chin and told Qingping that Su Rong would naturally get on the car to return to the snow at night. He didn't think he was an outsider. After he finished speaking, he asked Qingping: "Mom, you said yes."
Isn’t it strange? If she’s like this, why would she need my help? Isn’t my time helping her in vain?”
Before Qingping could speak, she sighed again, "Ye Guixue is really good-looking. It's hard to compare with Zhou Gu, but his family is in Nanchu. I don't know what she thinks. She actually wants to marry Ye Guixue.
, this is too far.”
Qingping was silent for a moment, then touched Duanhua's head, "The fate between people does not lie in distance. Maybe they just have this fate."
Now from Duan Hua's words, she was sure that Ye Guixue and Su Rong had met in private. Ye Guixue probably came for Su Rong to take Su Rong to Nanchu. If the Ye family could help, then
It's much easier.
Duan Hua muttered, "Hey, mother, I found out today that Zhou Gu seems to really like Su Rong. He looked at Su Rong and couldn't take his eyes away. I made him angry and regained the place where he had made sarcastic remarks to me over the years.
, but I didn’t feel happy either.”
There were no people waiting around at the Princess Mansion, and Qingping had always been conniving towards Duanhua. Therefore, Duanhua told Qingping whatever was on his mind.
Qingping patted her head again, "It's normal for Su Rong to be liked by others. She is a lovable child. You have an unpleasant temper and you are the princess, so it's normal for Zhou Gu not to want to see you."
"I admit that I have an unpleasant temper, but what's wrong with me being the princess?" Duan Hua was unconvinced.
"In the early years, before you fell in love with Zhou Gu, your imperial uncle mentioned to the old protector of the country that he would betroth the princess to him, but the old protector refused." Although the two of them spoke in private.
But Princess Qingping knew it clearly, because Duan Hua liked Zhou Gufu, and her royal brother specially called her to come closer, and asked her to create more opportunities for Duan Hua, "Whether it is a princess,
Even if she is a county horse, the old protector of the country will not be happy to marry Zhou Gu."
Duan Hua understood and was depressed, "It's really unlucky to be a princess. Aunt Zhen is unlucky, and so am I."
Qingping laughed angrily, "How can you compare with your Aunt Zhen? Your family and country are righteous, and you are smart and talented. Which one do you take?"
Duan Hua hugged Qing Ping's arm and said, "I will assume the identity of the princess. Mother, you hate me."
The people who were sent out soon came back and reported to Qingping, "Princess, both Mr. Zhao and his son Zhao Fei were taken to the Duke Protector's Mansion by Young Master Zhou."
When Qingping heard that Zhou Gu had intervened, he felt relieved and said, "Okay, I know."
Duan Hua pouted, "Mom, look, let me tell you, Zhou Gu likes Su Rong, but Su Rong and him have broken off their engagement? Zhou Gu still has to take care of her affairs."
"This matter has nothing to do with whether to break off the engagement or not. Okay, let's have lunch!" Qingping ordered someone to prepare the meal, and then said: "After lunch, you stay in the mansion. Don't go anywhere. I'll go to the palace.
Meet your imperial uncle."
She understood her royal brother, and if he knew about this, he would never ignore it.
Duanhua nodded obediently.
So, after lunch, Qingping prepared his car and went to the palace.
The emperor did not take a nap today. He had not taken a nap for two days and could not sleep. He heard that Qingping had entered the palace and wanted to see him. He ordered Eunuch Yu to invite her into the inner palace.
"Brother Emperor." Qing Ping greeted him.
The emperor said "hmm", looked at Qingping and asked: "The emperor's sister hasn't been in the palace for a while. She looks good now. Is that Duanhua girl not bothering you anymore?"
Qingping nodded, "Duanhua has been very good lately and hasn't caused any trouble to my sister."
The emperor motioned for her to sit down, "Is it because of Su Rong? She has been living in the princess's residence. It is said that Duan Hua likes her very much. You and the consort also treat her very well?"
Qingping pondered over the emperor's two idle words, wondering whether the emperor was suspicious of Su Rong's identity? Or did he already know about it? She kept it secret: "Su Rong is very lovable."
The emperor nodded, "Why did you come to see me at noon?"
Qingping sat down and said, "Today, Mr. Zhao told a story. He was originally going to talk about the wild history of the princess of the previous dynasty, but he changed it temporarily and talked about sister Zhenmin. According to Duanhua, there were some things that even my sister didn't tell her.
She had said it before, but she heard it from the storyteller's mouth. She asked her sister to confirm it. After hearing it, her sister was shocked that it was indeed the truth. After all, only people in the royal family knew about those little things. She thought, what happened?
Who instigated it and what did they want to do? I was afraid that it would not be good for Chao Gang, so I came to the palace to talk to the emperor."
The emperor sat up straight after hearing this, "You said the book Mr. Zhao said today was very detailed? Does he also know some things that only the royal family knows?"
"Yes." Qingping said cryptically: "My sister is afraid that this is some kind of conspiracy. The slaves ignore this and don't report it to the emperor."
She has been favored over the years not entirely because she is the emperor's biological sister, but half of it is because she is the emperor's eyeliner and voice outside the palace.
