Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 128

The old lady shook her hand, almost spilled the tea in the cup, and hurriedly asked: "Did the prince order it?"

Zhao Xiwei felt a little inexplicable, even if it was nothing, right?

She didn't offend the prince, and the prince didn't seem to have any intentions against her... Oh, except that she wouldn't let her have dinner with Cui Yutang.

But this is not a big deal, why are father and grandmother so nervous?
Is it because she is afraid that she will offend the prince because of her ignorance of etiquette?
Zhao Xiwei's thoughts changed, and he replied very calmly: "His Royal Highness ordered it. But please rest assured, grandma and father, I have not violated the rules, and he has not made things difficult for me."

Zhao Ziyi grasped the key question: "So the crown prince stayed with you in Hucao all afternoon?"

No wonder he went to the East Palace to ask to see him but was rejected, saying that the crown prince had gone out.

It turned out to be Hucao.

Hmph, this kid really knows how to pretend if he does one thing in person.

Zhao Xiwei didn't dare to hide it, but he didn't want to go into too much detail, so he replied softly: "Wei'er was originally ordered by Grandma to ask Mr. Jingzhao Yin Cui to take her to Hucao to meet the third aunt, but Cui My lord didn't come back for a long time, Wei'er wanted to go back home. I didn't want Mr. Cui to go to Hucao, so he took me with him. Later in Hucao, the crown prince asked Master Tang to move all the houses in the third year of Yuanchu. I checked the information at Hucao all afternoon."

Seeing that Zhao Ziyi's eyes were getting darker and darker, he hurriedly explained: "Father, don't worry, no matter what the prince's intentions, this matter is beneficial to us. At least Master Tang will not make things difficult for the prince's sake." Third Aunt."

Zhao Ziyi was in a complicated mood.

Xin Dao naturally he will not embarrass others, but he will embarrass you.

The old lady glanced at her son and then at her granddaughter, her face full of astonishment: "According to what you said, you and the prince get along pretty well?"

Zhao Xiwei thought of Li Xuanye's unpredictable temper, and of the jade pendant he gave him, his ears turned red all of a sudden, and his voice lowered: "Reporting to grandma, we get along well... Can."

Naturally, her transformation did not escape the sight of the old lady and Zhao Ziyi.

Both of them were holding tea, their eyes were full of disbelief.

The old lady glared at Zhao Ziyi reproachfully: Didn't you say that the prince turned his back on others and didn't want to take responsibility at all?Then look at this is to arrange for officials to send them off, and to check the files with Wei'er. How is it different from what you said?

Zhao Ziyi took a sip of tea and asked in a low voice, "Did the prince say anything else to you?"

Zhao Xiwei was even more depressed.

What else?Did you say she was bored and went out to eat with people?Or did she have the audacity to ask him for the jade pendant?
It seems... these are a bit inconvenient to mention.

She thought for a while, and then replied respectfully: "No, Your Highness is the prince of a country, how can he have any communication with me, a boudoir girl."

Zhao Ziyi put the lid on the teacup with a "bang", and her complexion became even uglier.

The old lady was afraid that he would say something serious, so she took Zhao Xiwei's hand with a busy smile, and chatted like a small talk: "Our sister Wei is liked by people wherever she goes, Your Royal Highness How can you be willing to make things difficult for you. Tell grandma, what do you think of the prince?"

Zhao Xiwei was stunned again.

How about the prince, can she be judged by a lady from the official family?
Besides, does it have anything to do with her?

Why did grandma ask this question, like...

As soon as the thought sounded, she was immediately startled.

impossible.

Although she knew that being born into a big family and getting married, she couldn't decide on her own, but where is the East Palace and what is the status of her father, she can't just send her to the East Palace on a whim.

Besides, the current situation is that the two palaces want to win over the father, not that the father wants to curry favor with the two palaces.

She was still thinking, the old lady laughed and said with a smile: "I just asked casually, there is no other meaning, you don't have to be so nervous, it's just two days..."

"Tomorrow." After being reminded by Zhao Ziyi, the old lady changed her words: "It's just that the prince wants to meet you tomorrow, and I'm afraid you don't know how to deal with it, so grandma asked more."

Zhao Xiwei was startled: "Tomorrow? The prince will meet me??"

"Yeah." The old lady smiled, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the matter was not as difficult as what her son said.

Looking at the words and expressions, it seems that Sister Wei's mention of the crown prince's inadvertent shyness does not seem to be against this marriage...Of course, it is not certain whether it will be successful, after all, this is not an ordinary marriage, nor is it ordinary. For a man, the Zhao family still needs to deal with many parties and make a long-term plan.

However, as long as Wei'er does not resist, the matter will be half successful!
As for the prince, our little sister is so outstanding, he has no reason to hate her.

Zhao Xiwei was still in shock and did not recover.

The old lady brought up the disaster situation in Jizhou again, and she moved it with emotion and reason: "Now the crown prince has something to ask from our Zhao family, but this rice shop is your second aunt's dowry, and it sounds nice to serve the country. , but to put it bluntly, our Zhao family covets Yuan's private property, when it comes out, what will the in-laws think of us?"

Zhao Xiwei had heard a little about the Yuan family.

Yuan was born in the richest man in Chang'an and was the only daughter in the family.

Although the master of the Yuan family has a lot of money, he has the obsession that "everything is inferior, but education is high". He admires those official families who have studied and become officials, and often sighs: "If you can't serve the king in this life, what is the use of earning so much money?" !"

Unexpectedly, the heirs withered, and there was only one daughter under his knees. Master Yuan thought of another way: let his daughter marry into an official's family, and then give birth to a little grandson, and inherit the poetry and etiquette of the father's family. Yes, then the Yuan family is indirectly equivalent to scholars?

Master Yuan is a very pragmatic businessman, he took action as soon as he had an idea, and after some planning, he quickly established friendship with the Zhao family.

Master Yuan's target at the beginning was Zhao Ziyi, the eldest son of the Zhao family.

At that time, Zhao Ziyi was handsome and talented, and he was the most respected by the emperor among the young students. Even if he was blindfolded, he could see that he had a bright future.

Such a young hero, who in Chang'an would not want to marry their daughter to him?
Master Yuan thought so, but he also knew that such a thing would never be his turn in his dreams.

Unexpectedly, when he fell asleep, someone handed him a pillow.

Soon, a fraud case broke out, Taichang Temple was uprooted, and the Zhao Mansion was also in a very dangerous situation.

But even so, Mrs. Zhao looked down on the Yuan family.

The Zhao family had many generations of ministers, and the eldest son was both talented and beautiful. She even despised the daughter of Taichang Qing and Shen Mu, and she even despised a business girl with no cultural background.
