Wang Yuan paid back the creditor's thousand taels of silver and took the other five hundred taels and two old friends to buy jade.

Zhao Yanping and Meng Zhao continued to work in their respective offices. No one dared to discuss right and wrong in front of Zhao Yanping. There was a person who was chewing Meng Zhao's tongue behind the back in the Hanlin Academy, and Meng Zhao just pretended not to hear it. After a few days, the discussions on this matter were faded, whether in the court or in the streets and alleys. After all, it was the capital city, and a new excitement would spread in a few days.

But all the officials and wives knew that Meng Zhao's biological mother was just a concubine from a merchant family.

Before the incident was revealed, because of ignorance, everyone didn't care about Meng Zhao's background. It was enough to just be decent for adoptive father and mother. Now, it was a mess, and a illegitimate son of a dilapidated merchant family who was abandoned by his legitimate mother. It was really not nice.

Censor Li was interested in Zhao Yanping's integrity and Meng Zhao's talent. When he learned about the Zhao family's plan to cure the consequences, Censor Li was still willing to make this marriage, but Mrs. Li and Miss Li were unwilling.

Miss Li cried, "My cousins ​​and cousins ​​are all legitimate sons. If I marry a concubine, how would they laugh at me when I meet in the future? Besides, the Wang family has been in so many years. The Zhao family has helped them this time. Who can guarantee that the Wang family will surely prosper again? If it is still a dilapidated house, I will go to Meng Zhao to ask for money every year. That is his biological father. Does Meng Zhao care about it?"

Miss Li has never met Meng Zhao. In the past, his parents praised him for being gentle and elegant, and he also had a third-rank senior official as his adoptive father. He was very glorious in high school, so Miss Li was willing. Now that Meng Zhao's glory has been buried by his biological father, Miss Li is unwilling to do so.

Mrs. Li thought about the same thing as her daughter. She was just this daughter. She could not have been brutally accused of her husband's scholarship. After all, Meng Zhao was an adopted son. Now she had a bad relative. If the Wang family had been in a down-and-out relationship and had been going to the Zhao family to ask for money, would Zhao Yanping and his wife have become weak for their adopted son?

For this matter, Censor Li quarreled with his wife and daughter several times, but his daughter really didn't want to, so he couldn't force his daughter, so he had to give up.

Mrs. Li sent the nanny around her to Zhao's house and sent a letter to Gillian.

Mrs. Li said in the letter that it was hot recently and she was dizzy and uncomfortable, so she could no longer fulfill the appointment between the two families at the end of the month. Mrs. Li was deeply sorry, but she did not want to delay Gillian's choice of wife for her eldest son. If Gillian had other suitable candidates, she would not need to worry about their Li family, and she would go to see the girls from other families first.

A tactful word actually means dislike Meng Zhao's origin and breaking the contract.

The nanny who was delivering the letter from the Li family was still waiting in the hall. After reading the letter, Gillian looked at her again, smiled, slowly put the letter on the table, and said to the nanny of the Li family: "Your wife is sick. I should have gone to visit her, but there are so many things in our house that I really can't leave. If you go back, take care of your wife for me and ask her to rest with peace of mind."

The nanny's forehead was sweating, she laughed and agreed, and then hurriedly left.

As soon as the person left, Gillian threw Mrs. Li’s letter to the ground!

If Mrs. Li looked down on her, Gillian wouldn't be angry, and Mrs. Li looked down on Brother Zhao, Gillian would like to curse her that she really couldn't afford to get sick!

"Did you give up?" Dong Zhu picked up the letter and guessed.

Gillian was too lazy to say it.

Dong Zhu quickly glanced at the content of the letter, and put it away and comforted him: "Why bother to argue with her, as long as the little official's biological father and mother are alive, they will come to me sooner or later. Now that the two families have not yet got married, it is a good thing to see who the Li family is. Otherwise, Miss Li will marry and cannot divorce the marriage. People dislike the little official, and the little official is really wronged."

Gillian looked at her, her eyes still with a bit of anger that was unfair to her son.

Dong Zhu smiled and pinched her shoulders: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's good now. The only place where our little official can make people gossip has also been spread. Everyone knows who the little official is. At this time, it is a good marriage for the little official, which is much more reliable than the one who knows the face but doesn't know the heart."

The anger in Gillian's chest finally subsided.

Yes, without Miss Li, or Miss Zhang, Sun and Miss Tian, ​​her son is so good, she doesn't believe that she can't pick a more suitable one.

She figured it out, but how could she know her son was a difficult task? Gillian was afraid that her son would feel uncomfortable.

Meng Zhao had already expected that his mother would never mention the matter of looking at each other when the end of the month. Every time he looked at him, he looked quite dodged. The day before the rest, Meng Zhao returned to his house and greeted his mother, and asked him on his own initiative: "Mom, did the Li family break the contract with you?"

Gillian's face changed slightly, and she held the veil and said, "How did you know?"

Meng Zhao smiled and said, "I guess."

The smile made Jiao feel distressed and immediately promised that she would find a better marriage for her son.

Meng Zhao was not in a hurry and discussed with his mother: "Mom, actually I want to let go. My son has read a lot of books of sages, but he has never truly understood the sufferings of the people. My son wants to go out and go back to Beijing after he has experienced enough."

When he just realized what Princess Yongjia thought about him, Meng Zhao had the idea of ​​letting go, but was afraid that his mother would not be willing to let go. Later, his mother arranged a marriage for him. Meng Zhao thought again that if he got married, Princess Yongjia would naturally give up. But now his marriage with the Li family was gone, Princess Yongjia came to Hanlin Academy to borrow books, and she wanted to comfort and relieve him. Meng Zhao strengthened her idea of ​​letting go.

A beautiful lady is a gentleman. Any young man who has seen Princess Yongjia smile may be moved by her.

Meng Zhao also fell into amazement, but he dared not indulge in it.

Even the Li family despised him, and Emperor Xuanhe could not marry him the golden branches and jade leaves held in his palm.

If Princess Yongjia insisted, Emperor Xuanhe would not punish the princess, but might take his anger against him, even his father and mother.

Meng Zhao didn't want things to be so ugly. His leaving Beijing was the best solution. Even if he only left for three years, Princess Yongjia would definitely get married in three years.

Gillian didn't know her son's concerns, and the first thing she thought of was that her son wanted to avoid the discussions about his life experience in the capital.

In order to get his mother to agree to his release, Meng Zhao acknowledged his mother's guess.

Gillian couldn't bear to refuse again.

She also wanted to escape from those discussions, but she had no place to go. Her son was different. He went outside to hide for three years and returned to Beijing three years later. When his son grew up, the capital almost forgot about this. Also, the Wang family's business could also have a result in three years. If Wang Yu'an successfully made a comeback, it would also be beneficial to his son's reputation.

"You really want to go, mom supports you." Gillian said reluctantly.

Meng Zhao smiled.

When Zhao Yanping came back, Meng Zhao also sought his father's opinions.

Zhao Yanping felt that it was a good thing for his son to be able to experience outside. The capital was full of children from noble families. Those people would also give their son face to the emperor, concubines, and king Duan, and dare not ask any problems for their son. It was different outside. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the local gentry and aristocratic families dared to challenge the government. Only when their son met those people could they see the dangers of the world.

Utilitarianism, exposing himself will not delay his son's future. Xie Ying was exiled for many years and is now a person who has been appointed by the cabinet.

Zhao Yanping never expected his son to enter the cabinet and would be able to move forward bravely with a firm mind and courage. He would be a good man.

"Let me tell you Uncle Lu." Lu Jun's father worked in the Ministry of Personnel.

Meng Zhao smiled and said, "If the father is not working, the son will take the initiative to ask for release, and the Hanlin Academy will be able to arrange it for his son."

It is easy to become a magistrate with a Jinshi, let alone Meng Zhao and Tanhualang.

The head of the Hanlin Academy also thought that Meng Zhao was trying to hide in peace and quiet, so he went to the Ministry of Personnel to discuss the matter of exile for Meng Zhao. He was also a magistrate, and there were also poor and rich people. Meng Zhao was talented and supported by the imperial concubine, so he could not send him to a bad place.

The Ministry of Personnel selected Luoyang County, Henan Prefecture, from Fu County, which needed to be dispatched to fill the gap.

The Ministry of Personnel has chosen it and will submit it to the emperor for approval.

Emperor Xuanhe saw Meng Zhao's name and wrote a batch of imperial pens, and it was approved.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Meng Zhao received the transfer document from the Ministry of Personnel.

The luggage at home was ready, Meng Zhao said goodbye to his parents and relatives one by one, and took two servants out of the city gate with him in a carriage.

The Imperial Concubine never interfered with the matter of the previous dynasty, and Emperor Xuanhe did not mention it to her, so the Imperial Concubine knew nothing. It was not until a few days later that Princess Xue Ning brought the children to the palace to pay tribute to her mother. The Imperial Concubine asked about the situation of her brother's house, and she learned from Xue Ning that Meng Zhao had actually been sent to Luoyang.

While Xue Ning was talking, Princess Yongjia was playing with her little niece and nephew. When she heard her sister-in-law talk about Meng Zhao, she quietly raised her ears. When she learned that Meng Zhao had left, she had left Beijing. Princess Yongjia pursed her mouth and teardrops as big as beans fell from Taohua's eyes and hit the back of the little princess's hand.

The little princess raised her head blankly.

Princess Yongjia has already run away.

The little princess reacted afterwards, and came to her mother with her arms stiff, pointing to the tears on the back of her hand and said, "Mom, aunt is crying."

Xue Ning looked surprised.

The concubine frowned and it was difficult to explain. As soon as the daughter-in-law and children left, the concubine went to find her daughter.

"The capital city has been talking about him these days, so it's better for him to go out to relax." The imperial concubine sat beside the bed and comforted her daughter who was crying on the quilt.

For Princess Yongjia, it was not important why Meng Zhao left. What was important was that he had gone to Luoyang and she had not seen him for at least three years.

"Mom, I'm going to Luoyang." After crying enough, Princess Yongjia sat up and said with red eyes.

The imperial concubine frowned and said, "Don't mess around. You can do whatever you want in the palace. If you want to go outside, your father will never agree."

Princess Yongjia burst into tears: "Then I will go and ask my father!"

Putting on her shoes, Princess Yongjia really went to the Imperial Study to find Emperor Xuanhe.

The imperial concubine was afraid that her daughter would be punished, so she followed her.

Emperor Xuanhe was reviewing the memorial, and the imperial concubine and the princess asked for a meeting. He immediately put down his imperial pen and looked up. His daughter had already rushed in, with black hair slightly messy and red eyes.

The imperial concubine walked behind silently, looked at him, and shook her head helplessly.

"Father, I'm going to Luoyang, Luoyang is the best peony in the world. I'm going to Luoyang to appreciate the flowers. When will I get enough of the flowers? When will I come back!"

Princess Yongjia first explained her purpose.

Eunuch Liu had already taken the eunuchs down. Emperor Xuanhe heard his daughter's words and said with a cold face: "Did you daydreaming and haven't woken up yet? Even the prince must leave Beijing for no reason, let alone you are a princess."

Princess Yongjia said unhappily: "What does Father mean? Is it mean that princesses are born inferior to princes?"

Emperor Xuanhe said: "I mean, you should not travel far away as a girl."

Princess Yongjia said, "My father was afraid that something would happen to me, so he sent two teams of guards to me, I..."

"Needless to say, I will never agree to this matter. I am very busy. You should leave." Emperor Xuanhe sat back on the dragon throne, picked up a pen to comment, and ignored his daughter.

Princess Yongjia clenched her hands and left.

The imperial concubine stayed and asked the man on the dragon throne: "The emperor had long seen that Yongjia had a crush on Meng Zhao, right?"

She had known for a long time that she could not hide the big and small things in the palace.

Emperor Xuan He was in a bad mood, so he looked up and looked at her and asked, "When did you know?"

The imperial concubine smiled bitterly: "Just just now, Ning Jie'er chatted with me. When she mentioned Meng Zhaoli Jing, Yongjia's tears fell down when she heard this."

Emperor Xuanhe was stunned.

The Imperial Concubine gave a bow and said goodbye.

No matter how little girl cried, Emperor Xuanhe would never let his daughter go to Luoyang.

Princess Yongjia no longer begs him, but whether her father had a cold war with her or she gave her various gifts to please her, Princess Yongjia never said a word to her father and did not give her a smile.

Emperor Xuanhe had four sons, only one daughter. His daughter stopped making a small cotton-padded jacket. Emperor Xuanhe felt a little sad and asked the concubine to persuade her daughter many times.

The imperial concubine said softly: "I advised her, but she won't listen."

Emperor Xuanhe was a little dissatisfied, so the imperial concubine apologized: "I am incompetent..."

Now, Emperor Xuanhe even offended the Imperial Concubine.

If he couldn't coax his daughter well, Emperor Xuan He was about to be tough, so he stood in front of his daughter and threatened to choose a prince consort for his daughter.

Princess Yongjia said indifferently: "If a man and a woman are in a sex life, if a woman is unwilling, a man will be forced to do so. If the father wants to see his daughter be forced, he will choose it. No matter who the father chooses, his daughter promises not to cry or make trouble, and he will do whatever he wants."

This sentence is more effective than her neglect in the first half of the year, and it made Emperor Xuan’s face turn black!

Emperor Xuanhe couldn't figure out why he raised such a bold princess who dared to fight him!

He couldn't get angry in front of the imperial concubine anymore, so he could only complain.

The imperial concubine lowered her eyebrows and said with a straight look: "It was the emperor who said that I was too timid and cautious, so that Yongjia must live happily and freely."

Emperor Xuanhe choked.
