Zhao Lin's birthday is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Keran has also chosen a date to go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion.During this day, after Situ Xu came down for the morning court, he rushed back to the palace non-stop, because they were going back to Zhenbeihou's mansion today.

After lunch, the two of them got into the carriage and set off for Zhenbeihou Mansion.Because Zhenbei Hou's Mansion can be regarded as Zhao Keran's natal family, and it's not a big day, so the two of them didn't stir up the crowd, but simply got into the carriage and set off with a few maids and guards.

Although the carriage looks ordinary on the outside, it is not simple on the inside.The inside of the carriage has been fully upholstered.There was also a small table inside, with the refreshments on it, and an incense burner, burning incense, and a fresh fragrance permeated the carriage.The carriage was driving continuously, but the people inside didn't feel the bumps at all.Even the full tea on the table did not spill a single drop.

"What request?" A complicated light flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes.It turned out that he had always underestimated his granddaughter, now that she dared to negotiate terms with him.

Zhao Keran did not answer Zhao Lin's words directly, but asked, "Grandfather, the third day of next month will be your 60th birthday. After that, you will be in your sixtieth year."

Regarding Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin was obviously very useful, and said with a smile, "Since the princess has said so, then I will not be polite."

"You have already convinced Yonger, how is this possible?" Zhao Lin felt unbelievable. He knew exactly how much Zhao Yong was attached to the Hou position, but now Ke Ran actually told him that Zhao Yong had given up. He couldn't believe it.

"Xu!" Zhao Keran said lightly.

"What, the emperor talked about this matter." Zhao Lin heard such news when he just calmed down, and he hurriedly asked, "But, tell me quickly, what did the emperor say?"

After everyone was seated, Zhao Lin was the first to speak, "But, what's the matter with you, so secretive, that you still want to discuss it with me in private?"

Zhao Keran didn't answer directly, she smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't worry. This matter is not big or small, but it is related to the future of our Zhenbeihou Mansion."

Soon, the three of them came to the study.Immediately afterwards, the three of them sat down one after another.

Zhao Lin has always been a person in a high position, so naturally he doesn't like to salute others, because it will make him feel inferior.Especially the person in front of him, although he is the princess, is also his granddaughter. If he is asked to bow down to salute his granddaughter, he will definitely feel a little bit pissed in his heart.It's the same reason that when Zhao Keren used his status as a side concubine to suppress him, he would lose his temper.Zhao Keran was very clear about this, so he stopped him like this.

Zhao Lin hurriedly asked, "Of course, did the emperor say when he would issue an order?"

"Of course." Zhao Keran smiled, and his tone was natural, "Grandfather, if you want my concubine to help you with things, you will have to pay a price!"

Situ Xu looked away instantly.Zhao Lin didn't know why, he felt like he had narrowly escaped death.

Looking at the tired Zhao Keran, Situ Xu found it funny, "Little thing, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you haven't had enough sleep!"

Li Lin understood.After Situ Xu got out of the carriage, he stretched out his hand and immediately carried Zhao Keran out of the carriage.

Zhao Lin hurried into the hall to salute.After Zhao Keran saw it, he stopped immediately, "Grandfather, you don't need to be too polite. You are the elder of my princess, how can you make you want to salute me?"

Such words are of course false, Situ Lingzhi is not in such a good mood to take care of such a trivial matter, but Zhao Keran is sure, Zhao Lin will never have the courage to ask, unless he wants to die.Zhao Keran knew this, so he dared to say that.Only after saying this, Zhao Lin would be in a hurry.

After the porter saw Situ Xu and Zhao Keran, he hurriedly called someone to inform Lord Hou, and greeted him at the same time, "My servant greets King Xu and Princess Xu."

"What?" Zhao Lin was startled. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you really think Feng'er is good enough? Also, will your father agree? Your second uncle will not give up easily."

"It's very simple." Zhao Keran said, "My concubine hopes that you will announce the candidate for your son on the third day of the next month, when you celebrate your [-]th birthday."

Situ Xu smiled embarrassedly, touched his nose, and was too guilty to look into Zhao Keran's eyes.This is indeed not the first time.In fact, he didn't want to, if it wasn't for the fact that the little things were so tempting, he wouldn't have asked for them again and again!However, facing his angry little wife, he dared not say these words.

Situ Xu felt pain coming from his waist all the time, but he didn't dare to cry out the pain, nor dared to break free, so he could only beg for mercy, "It's all my fault, little one, please forgive me this time! I I promise I won't do it again next time."

"Hehe, grandfather, it's actually not a big deal." Zhao Keran smiled slightly and said, "I just have one thing I want to discuss with you."

"So, grandfather, what is your decision?" Zhao Keran waited for Zhao Lin's decision.

Seeing such a situation, Zhao Lin's eyes shone with an unknown light.For a long time, he had heard that King Xu loved his guests very much, but he didn't believe it at first, because to be honest, Zhao Keran's appearance was not so beautiful, although she was very talented, but But it is not enough to attract a man's heart so firmly.But today it seems that the rumors outside may be true.Zhao Lin was very happy with such a result.Because the more King Xu loves Keran, the more profitable it will be for him.

"Of course, what you want to say has nothing to do with my age!"

Situ Xu obviously knew what Zhao Keran was talking about, he touched his nose with a smile, "Little thing, you can't blame me! It's because you look so attractive, that's why I Can't bear it!"

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhao Keran sharply, "What do you mean, you still have requests."

After seeing Situ Xu pampering Zhao Keran, Zhao Lin didn't say anything, and asked directly, "Well, what do you want to discuss with me? Since you said it was about our Zhenbei As for the future of the Hou Mansion, then you can tell me!"

Although what he just said was false, if Zhao Lin didn't agree today, Zhao Keran thought, maybe he would really enter the palace to ask for an order.Even if he can't do it himself, Xu will help to do it.

"Okay, get up first!" Zhao Keran waved his hand lightly, "You don't have to worry about us, go do your own thing! I will go in by myself."

"Grandfather, how could this princess tell a lie about such a thing? If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor directly!" Zhao Keran said.

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still nodded, "Okay then! But, since you've already said that, let's talk in the study!"

After Zhao Keran looked around, he smiled and said, "Grandfather, what this princess wants to say involves a lot and is very secretive. I want to discuss it with you in private. I wonder if it's okay?"

"Grandfather, my father has always been puzzled, why you have not established a son at such an old age." Zhao Keran said, "Do you think that none of your descendants can take on great responsibilities. The father seems to be doing it on purpose. Someone who wants to adopt a clan, so that he can inherit the position of Marquis of Zhenbei."

Zhao Keran smiled, and said, "Grandfather, you should be very clear about what kind of abilities this princess' father has. This princess also knows it well, so the candidate in my heart is not him at all. The princess is optimistic about this man, he is my younger brother——Zhao Kefeng."

After hearing Situ Xu's words, Zhao Lin was shocked.In this society, the status of women is always much lower than that of men. Generally speaking, what men say can represent women, but today Situ Xu is able to represent him by what Zhao Keran said. What is going on? What an honor!He dared to say that no man would indulge his wife like this.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about these things." Zhao Keran smiled confidently, "Father has no skills at all. As for the second uncle, you don't have to worry even more. This princess assures you that he is Absolutely no objection."

Zhao Lin didn't show any politeness either, he just sat down and asked with a smile, "My lord, my concubine, what are you doing here today?"

Seeing Zhao Keran's way of telling lies without batting an eyelid, a hint of teasing flashed in Situ Xu's eyes.This little thing really dares to say anything, just because she is behind her!However, the fact is true, no matter what great things she does, I will definitely be her most solid backing behind her.

"Grandfather, I won't play around with the concubine anymore." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Grandfather, you are already sixty. At this age, other people have already chosen their heirs. But until now , you still haven’t established a son.”

"I'm fine." Zhao Keran shook his head, "It's probably because it's spring now, and I should be suffering from spring sleepiness, so I came here because I wanted to sleep. Besides being a little tired, I have no physical problems at all."

"Oh, just tell me what it is!" Zhao Lin said with a smile. Will not shirk."

From the beginning to the end, Situ Xu never spoke, it was only Zhao Keran who spoke, he didn't say anything, he was as quiet as if he didn't exist.Moreover, he didn't refute all the words that Zhao Keran said, as if he was tacitly acquiescing.However, his eyes lingered on Zhao Keran all the time.

Generally speaking, the carriage was really comfortable, so comfortable that Zhao Keran felt drowsy as soon as he got in the carriage.She wasn't falling asleep, though, but was yawning constantly.

"Do you want me to make your father the son?"

"Okay then!" Situ Xu compromised helplessly, "However, if it still doesn't improve after a while, then you must send the imperial physician to take a look, understand?"

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin frowned. No matter what he said, he didn't like being called old by others, especially for someone like him who always wanted to hold on to power, so he didn't want to admit that he was old. .

"You came today to discuss this matter with me, didn't you?" Zhao Lin's expression became ugly.He doesn't like others coveting his seat, and he doesn't like discussing such things with his granddaughter even more, "Well, you are a girl, so don't worry too much about such things."

"So, it's still my fault." Zhao Keran raised his hand, grabbed a piece of meat from Situ Xu's waist, and then twisted it hard without hesitation, "You are a good-looking guy who got cheap, you say, Whose fault is it?"

"No." Zhao Keran shook his head.

"Really?" After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin's eyes were full of hope, "Say it quickly."

After hearing Zhao Lin's address, Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't be so polite, just call me Princess Keran as before."

"If grandfather is not willing, there is nothing the princess can do about it." Zhao Keran shrugged, "However, if grandfather does not agree today, maybe the imperial decree will arrive at the Zhenbeihou Mansion tomorrow. Grandfather, you Wait for the order!" 13acv.

"Grandfather, don't be angry. This princess has no other intentions." Zhao Keran still smiled gently. She did see the scene just now, but she chose to pretend not to see it. It's not that I want to interfere with anything. It's just that when I was in the palace before, I heard my father mention it, so I asked such a question."

"Grandfather, don't get me wrong, this princess has no other intentions." Seeing Zhao Lin's displeased look, Zhao Keran knew what he was thinking, "Grandfather, although you are already sixty, your body is still very strong Yes. It’s just that we know this, but outsiders don’t necessarily know it!”

Zhao Keran nodded, then stood up.Zhao Lin walked out first, and Situ Xu took Zhao Keran's hand and followed closely behind.As for Xiao Ling who stayed in the hall, her heart was full of doubts. She also wanted to know what was going on, and there was such a concealment that even she wanted to hide it.But although she really wanted to know, she had no choice but to stay in the hall.

"Don't worry." Zhao Keran promised with a smile, "You don't have to worry, if it keeps on like this, I don't need you to tell me, I will send the imperial doctor to see it, I am not the kind of person who shies away from medical treatment."

"You still have the nerve to say. Who is it that I am so tired!" Zhao Keran gave Situ Xu a hard look. She is so tired now, it is all because of this guy in front of her. Last night, she clearly said that No more, but he still refuses to let go of himself. If it weren't for him, how could he be like this today?

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin was taken aback. He never thought that this matter would be related to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.He looked at Situ Xu in surprise. In his opinion, Situ Xu would know more about such things.Moreover, Situ Xu is a man, so he knows better than Zhao Keran in such matters.

Under such oppression, Zhao Lin felt that he couldn't breathe at all.There was obviously no killing intent in Situ Xu's eyes, but he seemed to feel that his life was in the hands of that man.He could feel that Situ Xu was angry because of what he said to Zhao Keran.

Zhao Keran gave Situ Xu a blank look, and couldn't help complaining, "It's all you! I don't know what's going on recently, I'm already tired enough, and you are still like this. My spirit is so bad. Let me tell you, if there is a next time, you can sleep in my study."

"What, is what you said true?" Zhao Lin didn't care about his own image, he stood up immediately and asked.

"Well, what exactly do you want to say?"

At the beginning, Zhao Lin was full of doubts about Zhao Keran's words.But seeing her swearing, and Situ Xu on the side didn't refute, so he believed it.Because in his opinion, no matter how much Situ Xu loved his wife, he would not let her say such a thing, that would be a serious crime of beheading!

"What if I don't agree?" Zhao Lin asked tentatively. If he was really unwilling all the time, he didn't believe that Zhao Keran would let the position of Hou fall into the hands of outsiders.

"My concubine is not very clear either." Zhao Keran shook his head, "However, don't worry about grandfather, this concubine has a way to change my father's mind."

At this time, Zhao Lin was working in the study, but suddenly someone came to inform him that it was King Xu and Princess Xu who had come.After hearing the news, Zhao Lin came to the hall in a hurry. When he came to the hall, he saw Situ Xu and Zhao Keran drinking tea there, while his wife Xiao Ling was entertaining them.

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, the concierge was also eye-catching and left quickly.

Looking at Zhao Keran's indifferent expression, Zhao Lin's heart was full of uncertainty again, he didn't know if she was really true or not, so he didn't care.But he really couldn't watch the Zhenbeihou Mansion fall into the hands of outsiders.

While the two were talking, the carriage stopped and they had already arrived at Zhenbeihou's Mansion.

"Really?" Zhao Keran's eyes were full of suspicion, "How many times have you guaranteed this?"

"Okay, okay, there will never be a next time." Although Situ Xu said so, he had no sincerity at all, but he also had a feeling for Zhao Keran's physical condition, "Actually , Little thing, I noticed that you seem to be lazy recently, are you sick! Would you like to send a doctor to take a look."

Zhao Keran was really a little angry.She doesn't know what's going on with her body recently.I always feel very tired and always want to sleep, but no matter how I sleep, it seems that I don't get enough sleep.No matter what she does recently, she doesn't seem to be motivated.She even handed over the affairs of the palace to a few maids to take care of.Fortunately, the few of them are also clever, even without themselves, they can still manage the palace in an orderly manner.

Noticing Zhao Lin's eyes fixed on him, Situ Xu suddenly said, "Grandfather, you don't have to look at me. Today, I just came here with my concubine. It is my concubine who wants to discuss things with you. She What you say can represent this king."

"Grandfather, you should sit down first!" Zhao Keran said with a smile, "You are an elder! How can you stand all the time, while we juniors are sitting down!"

Zhao Lin's words were not polite at all.Before Zhao Keran had any reaction, Situ Xu had already glanced at him indifferently, there was clearly nothing in his eyes, not even a reflection, but Zhao Lin felt oppressed all the time.That was the coercion of the emperor that Situ Xu had already brought in his bones.

"Grandfather, you just need to know that this princess has a way." Zhao Keran smiled confidently, "This princess will let my father take it back, but grandfather, you have to promise me one request."

After hearing Zhao Keran's answer, Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment. He thought she had done so much just to want Zhao Song to succeed him, but now she actually denied it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin raised a kind smile on his face, "Since you have said so, then I will not be polite, but, are you here today for something?"

Looking at the confident woman in front of him, Zhao Lin felt strange for a while.Now he found that since entering the study, he seemed to have been led by the nose by his granddaughter.Moreover, even though he knew it was a trap, he had to jump into it.Otherwise, an outsider would have to inherit the Zhenbeihou Mansion. He couldn't accept such a thing.

"Okay, I agree to your request." Zhao Lin gritted his teeth, "I will announce Li Feng'er as the crown prince on that day. But you must stop the emperor."

"Of course, how could my concubine let someone else take this seat?" Seeing Zhao Lin's appearance, Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Actually, grandfather, you should feel lucky. Although Feng'er is still young, but his ability You can see it, he is already in the Hanlin Academy now. In the future, he will definitely climb to a high position, and he will definitely make the Zhenbeihou Mansion better. He is more suitable for this than his father and second uncle seat."

Although he was forced to establish a son, Zhao Lin had to admit that what Zhao Keran said was indeed very reasonable.
