Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 141

Yu Shaoheng raised his eyebrows lightly.

Ye Xizhao raised his hand and patted his forehead, "How would I know!"

Yu Shaoheng laughed because of this.

Ye Xizhao gave him a blank look.This guy can talk about Tang Hongxiao with her without any scruples, it can be seen that she has let go of her past affairs from the bottom of her heart, and she only worries about one thing: "No matter what, it's not a good thing for him."

Yu Shaoheng didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry, Tang Hongxiao won't make her lose face."

The meaning of this is... "You mean, he will defy the emperor's order and refuse the marriage offer from the queen mother?"

"Except for this point, there are still twists and turns in this matter, just wait and see."

Such words made her feel that Jing Zhiran's destination should not be Tang Hongxiao, but probably another good relationship.Thinking about Tang Hongxiao again, I heard that his editing of the book went very smoothly, and it would be of no benefit if he replaced the chief editor halfway.As a result, she quickly put this matter aside and went to another hospital with peace of mind.

The road that has just snowed heavily looks pleasing to the eye, but it is not conducive to walking.It doesn't matter if you are in the capital, the snow on the road has already been cleared, and when you get to the outskirts of the capital, the speed of the road will be much slower.

Fortunately, the husband and wife just went to relax and were not in a hurry.

On the way, Yu Shaoheng was worried that Ye Xizhao would be cold, so he held her in his arms and wrapped her tightly in a black cloak.

Ye Xizhao smiled contentedly, enjoying his care peacefully, and while chatting, asked why the courtiers had such a long holiday this year.

Yu Shaoheng didn't hide it from her: "The emperor hasn't left the palace for a long time, and he wants to take advantage of the day of universal celebration to go out in the name of looking for the spirit fox to send him to the queen mother. It is estimated that he will leave in three or two days."

In winter, running out with seemingly high-sounding but absurd reasons is something only the emperor has the guts to do.Ye Xizhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Have you already told your mother about this?"

Yu Shaoheng nodded.

Ye Xizhao laughed, "I can't blame my mother for driving us out of the house—this way, when the emperor summons us, you and I are already in the other courtyard."

"Yes."

And the matter of the emperor's departure from the palace is also thought-provoking.

Originally, the reason given by the emperor was to accompany the queen mother, empress, and prince.Only a few days later, he changed his mind - he insisted on leaving the palace at the moment when both the empress and concubine Shu were happy.

The husband and wife never talked about the right and wrong in the palace, and they were aware of these details, and they were always tacit.

When Zhong Liye entered the main palace, Yu Shaoyun was taking a nap on the bed.Hearing the maid's report, she quickly sat up and wanted to go down to the ground to greet her.

"Lie down." Zhong Liye stopped her, then rubbed the center of his brows, "I'll accompany you to rest for a while." Instead, he called the maid to undress.

Yu Shaoyun looked at him with puzzled eyes, "Why is the emperor here?"

Zhong Liye met her gaze, "Come and see you."

Yu Shaoyun smiled and said nothing.

Zhong Liye knew that she didn't believe it, and he didn't come here just to see her.Lying sideways beside her, he held her in his arms, and stroked her pointed chin with his palm, "I'm getting thinner, is it caused by being too tired?"

Yu Shaoyun turned sideways, turned his back to him, and said lazily, "It's true that I'm a little tired, and I feel powerless in everything these two days."

"If that's the case..." Zhong Liye's hand gently landed on her swollen abdomen, "Should Concubine Shu be left to the Queen Mother to take care of?"

Yu Shaoyun agreed, "That would be great."

"Could it be that you don't feel good?" She was happy twice, but she had never been like Concubine Shu, asking for care in every possible way.

Yu Shaoyun pretended to be confused: "The concubine is ignorant, I don't know what the emperor is referring to?"

Zhong Liye smiled silently, and changed the topic: "In two days, I will leave the palace for a while."

"Really?" Yu Shaoyun was indifferent to the news, "The emperor must take care of the dragon body when he is away."

Zhong Liye's smile faded little by little, but he hummed softly.

Since when did the intimacy that was once lost between them, and the intimacy that came from the heart disappeared in words.Was it when he had to let other concubines sleep, or was it when he started to favor Concubine Shu?Was it when he started to reuse Qin Anhuai, or was it when he was equally afraid of Qin and Yu?
Regardless of the reason, she is now the mother of the world with the most prominent family background, and is no longer just his woman.

He is not disappointed by this, he understands, just a little disappointed.It was him who made her tired and chilled first, he understood, but he couldn't change, comfort, save her... It was even more extravagant hope.

He is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, a woman, affectionate, just a part of life, luck, not fate.I have tried my best to treat her kindly, and I intend to always treat her kindly, this is the limit.

After the silence, Zhong Liye said: "The queen mother wants me to marry Tang Hongxiao and Jing Zhiran, do you think it is appropriate?"

Yu Shaoyun pondered for a while, and replied without emotion: "It's about the officials of the former court, how can the concubines comment on it?"

Zhong Liye smiled slightly, knowing that she would give such a correct response, and said again: "Tang Hongxiao has never married since he divorced his wife, it's not that no one has gossiped about him with me."

What could be gossip?Yu Shaoyun naturally knew it clearly, but turned around with a smile and faced him, "What kind of gossip? The emperor might as well talk to his concubine."

Zhong Liye said bluntly: "Some people say that he can never forget the woman he had a marriage contract with back then."

Yu Shaoyun smiled disapprovingly, "Is it because of this that the emperor wants to give Mr. Tang a marriage?"

"That's not true." Zhong Liye's voice paused, and then suddenly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, the Jing family and the Yu family are family friends, and they can be regarded as a family. If Tang Hongxiao married the Jing family, the Yu family would be in court The foundation is stronger."

Yu Shaoyun sneered again and again.The Yu family's foundation in the imperial court was stable, even too strong in his heart - not the situation he would like to see now, and even, the situation he was uneasy about.If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have come to talk to her about it, and poke her mouth out.She was disdainful in her heart, but she seemed uneasy on her face, "Although the concubine is ignorant, she also understands the difficulties of the emperor. The emperor should carefully consider this matter for a while, right?"

"My real distress is not the marriage." Zhong Liye smiled bitterly, and sat up while talking, "I stay here, but you can't rest in peace. I'll go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation .” Then she tucked the corner of the quilt, “Don’t worry about me.”

Yu Shaoyun smiled gratefully, and slowly closed his eyes.After hearing that he was fully dressed and walked away slowly, there was a mockery in his smile.When waiting to see the joke, I can't help feeling a little sympathetic—another girl who fell into the schemes of others unknowingly, just like her back then.

At the same time that the imperial edict of bestowing marriage was delivered to Tang Hongxiao's residence, King Kang entered the palace to ask to see the queen mother.

Kang Wang is Zhong Liye's younger brother and the former tenth prince.When he saw the queen mother, he began to complain about all kinds of grievances, saying that he heard about Jing Zhiran's beauty many times in the twelfth lunar month of last year, so he decided to ask for marriage, but it was already the New Year's Eve, because he saw that the queen mother and the emperor were busy, so he didn't enter the palace to invite her. The emperor bestowed marriage.Who knows, but today I heard that Jing Zhiran was going to be married to Tang Hongxiao, so in a hurry, he went to the palace and begged the queen mother to take back his life.

The queen mother was surprised when she heard this.The cause of this matter was really her kindness.

She knew that Tang Hongxiao had never brought his relatives to the mansion since he returned to Beijing, so he only ordered people to send his salary to his hometown to ease the embarrassing situation of his relatives.With his relatives not around, Tang Hongxiao didn't care about anything other than writing books, so naturally no one helped to arrange the marriage.Although she felt that he had misbehaved before, but now, she felt that no matter how serious a mistake was, she could be forgiven, so she discussed with Zhong Liye about giving him a marriage.

Of course she is aware of the friendship between the Jing family and the Yu family, but she is even more aware that Yu Shaoheng and Tang Hongxiao will never become accomplices - she has lived half her life, and people can judge her temperament, while Zhong Liye is still young and on the throne, It will give birth to seemingly reasonable but unnecessary scruples.She didn't bother to explain this, she just insisted.

After Zhong Liye weighed it, he still obeyed his mother's order and personally bestowed the marriage.

It never occurred to him that Kang Wang had already taken a fancy to Jing Zhiran.

The queen mother stroked her forehead and sighed: "Why didn't you tell the Ai family about such things earlier? Last autumn, the Ai family discussed your marriage, and you refused to agree to several people. How come you have someone you like in winter?"

King Kang was more helpless than the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, how can such things be expected?"

"That's the case, but what can we do now? The marriage decree has been ordered, so is it possible that the Ai family and your imperial brother will break their promise for you?"

"..." King Kang looked at the queen mother pitifully, like a very wronged rabbit, ready to cry at any time.

The Queen Mother laughed angrily, "Don't show the Ai family such an unpromising look, and I will find you a more beautiful child from your Jing family in the future, will it be over?"

"I can't." Kang Wang muttered in a low voice, "I'm going to let it be, I won't marry unless she is..."

The queen mother had a headache and sighed: "The Ai family really spoiled you!"

"I don't want to marry out of nowhere, I want her..."

"Shut up!" the queen mother scolded, "what a look!"

"..." King Kang sniffed, as if he was about to cry for the Queen Mother to see.

The Empress Dowager looked at King Kang, who was handsome and slender but childish in every action, and laughed angrily, "I heard that the kid from the Jing family is very childish. If I make a pair with you again, I don't know how many troubles will happen in the future." It's a joke. The current situation couldn't be better, and it's only reasonable to find someone who is sensible for you."

"The queen mother wants the child not to marry for life, and the child has no complaints."

"..."

The mother and son stood in a stalemate for a long time, and an eunuch came to report: Tang Hongxiao refused to accept the order because he had already converted to Taoism, so marrying a wife would be a mistake for life.

When Kang Wang heard this, he immediately became elated, and said with a smile: "I see! I said why he always wears Taoist robes and clothes..."

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother reprimanded angrily, but there was a hint of joy in her expression.

When Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao arrived at the other courtyard, twilight descended.

The two got out of the carriage, and on the way into the courtyard, Jianian followed beside him, and whispered about the disturbance of the marriage.After the turmoil, the emperor never punished Tang Hongxiao for resisting the order because of the empress dowager's intercession.

Jia Nian talked about King Kang again, and finally said: "People in the palace say that the Queen Mother intends to fulfill King Kang."

Ye Xizhao didn't know how to react after hearing this.It stands to reason that he should be happy for Jing Zhiran. After all, the rumored Kang Wang is very playful and full of childishness. If he does not cause trouble or trouble, he will help the emperor, and the queen mother will take care of him in every possible way. Whoever marries him will have a good life.But she always felt that the emperor's siblings should not be like Kang Wang - if this is the case, they are doomed to fail. If this is just an appearance, it is hard to say what it means.

Yu Shaoheng took her hand and interrupted her thoughts, "Let's think about those things after returning home. For now, just be a person who enjoys flowers and enjoys flowers."

Ye Xizhao nodded and smiled, "That's right."
