The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 336 The meeting of the Three Kingdoms, various thoughts (3)
Zhao Cong laughed heartily a few times, flicked his sleeves to make the servant retreat, and walked to the couch and sat beside Zhao Shenghao.Tianxi stayed at the entrance of the Snow Pavilion, not to be disturbed by others.

"You, you are all about to get married. It's time to grow up." Zhao Cong patted Zhao Shenghao's knees crossed together, the majesty in his eyes was gone, only full of favor drown.

"Hey, how can my nephew marry a wife if he doesn't grow up?" Zhao Shenghao smiled ambiguously. No matter how you look at it, he is a dandy who only understands love affairs and is greedy for pleasure.

"You child!" Zhao Cong pretended to be angry, and suddenly scolded with a smile: "I heard you say so, but I don't see any concubines in your house, and I don't know where your reputation of being romantic and lustful comes from."

Zhao Shenghao smiled evilly and said, "My confidante is all over the world, and I don't like golden-haired birds locked in cages."

"Then you really like your princess?" Zhao Cong asked suddenly intentionally or unintentionally.

In the depths of Zhao Shenghao's eyes, a gloomy light flashed across his eyes, and he replied without thinking: "It's natural, otherwise my nephew wouldn't marry her." After that, he smacked his lips as if reminiscing: "This fairy-like Beauty, but I can't find it anymore, if I miss it, my nephew will regret it for the rest of my life."

Zhao Cong looked at Zhao Shenghao, his expression was dark and difficult to understand, and his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish: "Hao'er, uncle dotes on you so much, I don't know whether it hurt you or made you happy."

"Naturally, I'm happy. My nephew likes such an unrestrained life." Zhao Shenghao's body was slightly stunned, and immediately returned to his cynical appearance.

Zhao Cong sighed lightly, and said in a soft tone with discussion: "Hao'er, after the big wedding, would my uncle ask you to go to court to do something?"

Zhao Shenghao was stunned, and immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't want it, uncle, don't make it difficult for me. I don't understand those messy national affairs, and these things are really too boring. I would rather you demote my throne and become a commoner. Don't go to the court either."

"You really hate it so much?" Zhao Cong's eyes darkened, it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and the only certain emotion was a touch of disappointment.Obviously, this is not the first time that such a similar problem has appeared on the two of them.

And it wasn't the first time Zhao Shenghao refused.

Zhao Shenghao sat on the couch in a casual posture, and said indifferently: "I like freedom by nature, and I don't like restraint. If I become a member of the court, I'm afraid it will only make things worse. Besides, doesn't uncle know that Hao'er is a A dandy? How can a dandy govern the country?"

After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhao Cong was silent, he leaned over again and added in a low voice: "Uncle, the clan princes are not allowed to be in power, but according to the ancestor's rule, Hao'er dare not disrespect the ancestor."

"You don't need to worry about these, as long as you are willing to enter the court, the rest of uncle will take care of it." Zhao Cong said in a deep voice again, in his tone it was hard to hide his desire for Zhao Shenghao to enter the court.

Zhao Shenghao leaned back, lazily, suddenly sneered, and looked at Zhao Cong incomprehensibly: "Why does Uncle always hope that Hao'er will enter the court?"

The pair of eyes that had always looked frivolous and wanton in front of Zhao Cong unexpectedly showed a kind of deep inquiry.

That gaze went straight into Zhao Cong's heart, causing his heart to jump suddenly, and he pursed his lips: "There are some things that you should not know before."

The two looked at each other, and there was a similar burning in the eyes.

In a short while, the strength in Zhao Shenghao's eyes was swept away, and the previous cynicism resumed.He flicked his sleeves to wipe away the non-existent dust on the python robe, jumped off the couch, turned to face Zhao Cong, bowed and cupped his fists: "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your love, unfortunately, Hao'er's ambition is not here, so I invite uncle Don't mention this matter again. No matter when, Hao'er's answer is the same and will not change."

After finishing speaking, he swung his sleeves with both hands and put his hands behind his back. He swaggered away from the Snow Appreciation Pavilion, dressed in deep purple, and gradually disappeared into the imperial garden.

Zhao Cong sat on the couch, staring at Zhao Shenghao's leaving back with a dazed expression, unwilling to move away for a long time.

Tianxi walked over quickly, approaching Zhao Cong, and seeing this scene, she called out with complicated eyes: "Your Majesty."

Zhao Cong sighed, his eyes still moved slightly, and he just murmured, "Tianxi, do you think my Hao'er is really a dude?"

Tianxi opened her mouth silently, as if she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to say it, and finally she could only lower her eyes and say: "I don't know if the prince is a dude, but I can be sure that the prince has no thoughts of fighting for power and profit in his heart. Great country, for the prince, I am afraid it is not as good as a pot of fine wine to make him happy."

Zhao Cong's lips trembled slightly invisibly, and his eyes were a little cold: "These years, I have allowed the third child to attack Hao'er. First, I want to see what the third child wants to do. Second, it is I want to use the hand of the third child to see whether Hao'er is a real dandy or a fake dandy. In the end, I still can't be sure."

Tianxi's eyes lowered even lower: "The prince has been gifted since he was a child, if he deliberately conceals it, who can expose it?"

Tianxi's words made Zhao Cong silent, his eyes gradually drifted away, deep in the bottom of his eyes, there was a trace of thick that couldn't be melted, but there was a hidden deep nostalgia: "Hao'er's temperament has always been like her."

Who is she?Naturally Tianxi knew about it, but at this time, even Tianxi did not dare to answer the words easily, for fear of accidentally touching the unhealed wound in Zhao Cong's heart.

"Tianxi, do you think... am I wrong? If Hao'er insists on refusing to enter the court, then what's the use of my deployment? After a hundred years, who can replace me and protect Hao'er's glory forever, A safe life?" Zhao Cong's tone was filled with a hint of decadence and worry.

Tianxi pursed her lips, as if it was difficult to answer this question.

It wasn't until Zhao Cong's gaze came over that he bit the bullet and replied in a low voice: "Slave, I think the Second Prince's temper is gentle, steady and introverted, knowing the truth and emphasizing righteousness, which is also a good choice."

"Dryer?" Zhao Cong was startled for a moment, nodded his head almost imperceptibly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "You think the second child doesn't care about my position? It's just that under my deliberate guidance since childhood, he There is a hurdle in my heart that I can't pass. Originally, he was Hao'er's best helper. Together, the two of them, no matter whether Hao'er is a dude or not, can defend the country of Dachu. But if Hao'er really doesn't want to enter the court, don't I would like to walk the path I arranged for him. If the second child can take care of Haoer like I do, what's the point of giving him the country?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again, and said with a broken smile: "Let's take it easy on these matters. Let's see if Hao'er will change his mind in a few days."

Tianxi sighed slightly in her heart, but she stopped persuading her.

In fact, both he and the emperor in front of him knew clearly that Zhao Shenghao's choice would not change. However, every time Zhao Cong was rejected, he still had hope, hoping that Zhao Shenghao would change his mind.
