Chapter 50: Where there is a daughter, there must be a mother
Diaoyutai, on all sides of the water, there is a pavilion in the middle of the pavilion, and a pavilion is placed on the pavilion.
In the pavilion, the eldest princess was asking Zhao Hao about his well-being.
But somehow, the topic was turned around and the focus seemed not to be on him.
"Child, have you lived alone with your father over the years?" The eldest princess sat next to the bed, her concern beyond words.
"Yes, it's like this since I can remember it." Zhao Hao said in his heart, but I only started to remember it since the beginning of the year...
"Hey, it's really a pain for you two." The eldest princess sighed and said, "How can a family be without a woman? Your father is only thirty-six, so he never thought about re-stringing?"
Zhao Hao said to himself, how old is my father? Why do you know better than me?
He replied in a vague way, "I don't know what my father is doing."
"I heard that he had an engagement with the daughter of the Imperial College Zhou Ji Restaurant in Nanjing." The eldest princess couldn't wait to get more information from Zhao Hao, but she accidentally let her mouth go.
Liu Shanggong, who was beside him, quickly coughed repeatedly.
The eldest princess then changed her words: "When I was chatting with my wife, I heard them accidentally mention that Zhou Jiji's daughter's daughter had an engagement with the second son of the Minister Zhao's family."
"You know, the ladies like to talk about these mother-in-law and mother things." She looked at Zhao Hao with some guilt.
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded obediently, thinking to himself that you are the eldest princess, no matter how you say it is reasonable.
"What later?" It was like this, and the eldest princess had not given up asking, "I heard that Mr. Zhao had retired and returned home in the Beijing Chacha period. Before leaving, he did not finalize his marriage date with Zhou Jijiu?"
Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't reveal any news, the eldest princess would not finish the calculation with him, so he had to timidly say: "It seems like... I'm breaking the engagement..."
"Really?" The eldest princess was overjoyed when she heard this. Liu Shanggong quickly coughed again. She then covered her mouth and held back her smile:
"Hoho, what I mean is, it's a pity, haha, it's really sad, hehe..."
"Yes." Seeing the princess, she was so happy that she was about to take off. Zhao Hao thought to herself, if you know, my father refused to buy one free of Zhou Jijiu, and wouldn't he be alive?
But he didn't show any thoughts on his face, and he just nodded there, as if he was still in the dark.
At this time, the palace maid came in to report that Mr. Zhao's father had come to pick him up.
"Ah?" The eldest princess obviously trembled, her pink face was dyed with a strong excitement, and she said, "I... I will go to see him now."
Zhao Hao deliberately stood up and said he wanted to go together.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess reached out and pressed him back to the bed, lay flat, covered him with a quilt, and said with a kind smile: "I like you from the bottom of my heart when I see you, a child. You are still sick, so you can't just leave like this. If you can't stay for ten or eight days, how can you take care of your body?"
"Uh..." Zhao Hao was immediately amazed and crying. Okay, this young master has become a hostage...
The eldest princess said, how could she have room for negotiation?
Zhao Hao had no choice but to lie back on the bed and watch her go to see her dad happily.
At this moment, his admiration for someone in his heart was like a surging river.
~~
The eldest princess left the water pavilion, and Liu Shanggong hurriedly followed and whispered: "Your Highness, you have just taken a look."
"What are you afraid of? He is still a child and I can't understand." The eldest princess said without considering it:
"So what if I understand it? Is it the children's turn to interrupt the matter between adults?"
When Liu Shanggong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, Your Highness is the best, and now everything he says is useless, let her do it.
He then said that he would take the lead and repel all the palace servants in Qinglu Hall, and then personally led Zhao Shouzheng into Qinglu Hall.
From the moment Zhao Shouzheng approached Diaoyutai, his throat smoked, his hands sweated, and his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton.
He didn't see the scenery along the way at all. If it weren't for Liu Shanggong's leadership, he would have to fall into the ice lake...
Before I knew it, Qinglu Hall arrived.
Liu Shanggong looked back at Zhao Shouzheng, who was distracted and sighed in his heart, "Injustice".
Then he pushed open the hall door silently and whispered to him: "Zhao Xiaolian, Your Highness is waiting for you inside."
"Oh." Zhao Shouzheng nodded quickly. He was about to step in when he remembered what he was here for. He asked in a bad mood: "Where is my son?"
"Young Master Ling is fine, but he's overworked and just went to bed. Your Highness will take you to see him later." After hearing this, Liu Shanggong looked at Zhao Shouzheng with admiration. Unexpectedly, at this time, he could still think of his son.
"Okay." Zhao Shouzheng nodded again, then lifted up the hem of his robe, and stepped into the high vermilion threshold of Qinglu Hall.
Behind him, Liu Shanggong slowly closed the door and guarded him outside the hall.
~~
The brocade curtains were hanging low in the Qingde Hall, the incense was curling in the brass warm cage, and the princess Ning'an, wearing a peach-red flower-spreading jacket, stood there quietly, looking at the person slowly walking in.
The person who often appears in his dreams...
Zhao Shouzheng also looked at Gui's eldest princess in a daze, her lips trembling and unable to speak.
Looking at the gentle, honest and down-to-earth face, the eldest princess finally burst into tears and couldn't help but scream.
"Zhao Lang..."
"Ning'an..."
Zhao Shouzheng's eyes were already shallow, and when he saw the princess crying, he also wiped his tears.
While crying, he stepped forward and wanted to wipe her tears like he did back then.
But when he arrived at a distance of two steps from Ning'an, Zhao Shouzheng's feet were nailed there as if they were rooted.
If he could get close to her, Xiao Penglai would not have hidden himself and showed up that time.
"Zhao Lang, I finally saw you again." As she cried, the eldest princess was so sorry for her, and she was overjoyed. She looked at Zhao Shouzheng without a flash and said, "I'm not dreaming, aren't I?"
Princess Ning'an's strong affection was almost overwhelming the entire palace. Zhao Shouzheng sighed in his heart, and then bowed deeply, "I'll pay homage to the princess."
Seeing that he was reluctant to step forward, Ning An thought that I would go forward by myself.
Unexpectedly, she was about to take a step when she heard Zhao Shouzheng's words.
The eldest princess couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, stepped forward and helped him up, and said with a forced smile: "Zhao Lang shouldn't be so distant. Ning An will always be that crying little girl in front of you."
"I was too ignorant back then and did so many presumptuous things to the princess." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and did not dare to look at Ning An and said, "I think now that I really deserve to die."
"That's not what Zhao Lang said at the beginning..." Ning An was sad and smiled sadly, spreading his palms out. The semicircular jade pendant that had been holding tightly in his hand said: "What did you say when we asked Lu Zigang to carve this jade pendant together?"
"Now we have all got married and had children, what do we have to say about the past?" Zhao Shouzheng lowered his head even lower. "What he said when he was a child cannot be done."
"You don't remember, I remember." The eldest princess was heartbroken when she heard this. Her phoenix eyes were swollen, and she held back the rolling tears and said word by word:
"Jade is divided by people, and people are united with jade!"
Hearing these eight words, Zhao Shouzheng was struck by lightning and almost immediately lost his position.
"Where is the jade pendant? Take it out..." The eldest princess reached her hand in front of him and almost begged.
Although she suffered when she was young, Jiajing would double the compensation for her as soon as Queen Fang died. Longqing even agreed with her sister's request. Ning An had long developed a domineering temperament, but now she can ask for it in such a soft voice.
It makes people sigh that damn love is such a dizzy dog.
"This..." Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouzheng didn't know where the perseverance came from, and shook his head with difficulty and said, "After so many years of change, I have long since lost it..."
