half volume

Zhao Yanzhi learned of his son's stupidity as soon as he came back.After that, the first thing he did was not to help his son make amends, but ran to swear to Xie Qing, expressing that he had no knowledge.

Xie Qing ignored him.

It was so easy to survive until the weather was getting warmer in spring, Zhao Yanzhi immediately wrapped Xie Qing tightly and went out for a walk with him.He found that as long as Xie Qing could go out, he would be willing to talk to him more.

The fact that the emperor, who had never set foot in the harem all year round, appeared in Chengfengtai for many consecutive days quickly spread in Zhao Yanzhi's not-so-large harem.From the third day onwards, more and more beautifully dressed ladies and beauties began to appear near Chengfeng Terrace, so Zhao Yanzhi's headache reappeared.

It turned out that Xie Qing turned a blind eye to Zhao Yanzhi's Yingying and Yanyan, and treated them with courtesy when they met them occasionally.Zhao Yanzhi was very upset because of this matter. Compared with his own attitude towards Nan Ji, Xie Qing's indifference to Zhao Yanzhi's wives and concubines is simply an expression of not caring about him.

Not so now.Zhao Yanzhi was pleasantly surprised to find that when Xie Qing saw Beauty Li walking slowly towards them, the look of hesitation on his face was extremely obvious.

Li Meiren was just here to try her luck, but she didn't expect to meet the emperor, and he was actually very happy with her appearance.

Zhao Yanzhi didn't expect that there would be such an impolite concubine besides Mrs. Zhou herself, and she ran over without hesitation when she saw a foreigner present.

Zhao Yanzhi subconsciously kept Xie Qing behind, and when he was about to speak out to reprimand Li Meiren, he was embarrassed to find that he had completely forgotten her name.So he could only say a few vague words to the beauty, and then sent her away.

Zhao Yanzhi, who was messed up, was very unhappy.Just now he joked to Xie Qing that his mouth was parched. Xie Qing was about to hand him honey water, but after he sent the woman away, he turned around and saw that the jug was empty.

After Zhao Yanzhi lost his smile for a long time, he finally coaxed people into agreeing to see the orchid grass, and met Mrs. Wang and Meng Jieyu on the way.

This day finally broke up unhappy, when Xie Qing saw the fifth batch of concubines flocking to Chengfeng Terrace, he finally walked away with livid faces.

Then Zhao Yanzhi didn't sleep in his own couch that night, the reason was that after what happened during the day, he kept a smirk that he liked to see all day long, which finally annoyed Xie Qing.

Zhao Yanzhi thought anxiously, after all, it was Ye Ting, and it was inevitable that he would bump into his wife and beauties who had heard the news. Even if he was the emperor, he couldn't ground them all.

He fell asleep drowsily in the dilemma, and finally couldn't figure out a solution. When he woke up the next day, the problem was solved.

Because Xie Qing refused to go out no matter what.

Zhao Yanzhi then missed his peaceful harem when Empress Xie was alive.

Zhao Yanzhi's stepping into the harem was naturally known after Zhou Zhou, but the reason why she didn't show up was because she was stopped by her daughter before she had time to go out that day.

Since the Xie family was destroyed, Zhao Yu went back to Guangming Palace to live with his mother.It stands to reason that Zhao Yan should choose another husband-in-law for her, but during this time, Zhao Yan can only take care of Xie Qing. He just took care of Huaiqing's marriage and Xie Hou's. Occasionally, an uneasy son appeared to add to the chaos. I didn't care about Zhao Yu, Zhou Hou picked a few companies that were either unsuitable or inappropriate, and he rejected them one by one.After coming and going, I gradually became dissatisfied after a week.

Zhao Yu pulled the mother who was going to see Zhao Yanzhi to sit down beside her, and said to her seriously: "What's the hurry, mother? Father hasn't set foot in the harem for so many years. It must be unusual for him to come here suddenly for several days. You At this time, if it was not good in the past, it would be a bad luck for him. Let's see, the concubine mothers going to see father at this time will probably make him unhappy."

Zhou Hou lost this opportunity to meet the king, but fortunately, the only thing she could listen to was her daughter's words.

Unlike her mother, Zhao Yu was smart since she was a child.Although she has always been favored, Zhao Yu has always been courteous, low-key and cautious, and that's what Zhao Yan only likes about her.She knew that she was different from Huaiqing, her father really loved Huaiqing unconditionally.Therefore, Huaiqing was consistent from the novel, no one in Guangming Palace except Empress Xie dared to disobey her, even if Zhao Suigui was the crown prince, she would still give her three points.

But she is different.She didn't have a mother who generally understood her father's thoughts, nor did she have a younger brother who was destined to inherit the throne.Her father knew that the Xie family would not last long, but still married her in order to reassure them; her mother's family is weaker than it used to be, but they still don't know it.Zhao Yu is smarter than her mother, so she is always worried. She wants to live a better life in the future, so she can't be careless now.

Zhao Yu looked at his disappointed mother and felt very sad.Her mother has endured so many years in this forbidden palace, and finally became a queen, but so what?My father's heart, I don't know where it is.She took her mother's arm lightly, and explained softly: "Mom, don't be in a hurry. After a while, mother will just go and see my father."

On the third day when Xie Qing refused to talk to Zhao Yanzhi, Zhao Yanzhi finally came up with a solution that was not a solution - he ordered someone to tie Yu Changqing into the palace.

Since Xie Qing was taken away from his mansion more than half a year ago, news of his death came out immediately, and Yu Changqing could almost conclude that he was murdered by conspiracy.Yu Changqing was filled with grief and indignation for his old friend, and wanted to stay away from Chang'an, but at this juncture, Liuyun disappeared.Helpless, he had no choice but to stay here, take care of those precious flowers and plants left by Xie Qing, and guard his home.

When Yu Changqing was summoned by the emperor, he resisted very much, and the guards had to tie him back in order to complete the task.

Yu Changqing was stunned when he saw Xie Qing.After a long time, he stumbled and said, "Huai, Huaifang? Are you alive?"

Xie Qing was very happy to see his old friend, and didn't even care about "death".

Seeing the two having a happy conversation, Zhao Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.Yu Changqing is Xie Qing's confidant and has a clear mind. He is not worried that Yu Changqing will reveal the news that Xie Qing is alive, so he starts to figure out how to make Yu Changqing often come to the palace to talk with Xie Qing in a fair manner.

Although Zhao Yanzhi saw Xie Qing, who cherished his words like gold, chattering with Yu Changqing endlessly, his heart felt sour.

Xie Qing was not in good spirits, and after the initial excitement passed, he became sleepy not long after.Seeing his tired face, Zhao Yan winked at Yu Changqing.Yu Changqing understood, and said goodbye to Xie Qing with a smile.

Xie Qing finally met someone other than Zhao Yanzhi, and he was very reluctant to leave. Zhao Yanzhi coaxed him to let Yu Changqing come again in a few days before giving up.

After Xie Qing went back to the inner room to sleep, Zhao Yan only walked out lightly.Yu Changqing hadn't left yet, and sat there waiting for Zhao Yanzhi.

"Mr. Yu, what's the matter?" Zhao Yanzhi was not surprised, and asked while sitting down in the main seat.

Yu Changqing cupped his hands at him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving Huaifang's life."

Zhao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, the unknown meaning in Yu Changqing's words made him a little unhappy.He said calmly: "Mr. is overthinking, I will protect him well."

Yu Changqing smiled, turned the subject, and said in a seemingly unintentional way: "I didn't dare to recognize Huai Fang at first sight. He is now thinner than when he was sick, and his hair is almost completely white."

One sentence hit Zhao Yanzhi's sore spot, and his face sank immediately.But in the end, Zhao Yanzhi suppressed the irritability in his heart and said to Yu Changqing with a smile: "So I want to trouble Mr. to come and talk to him more when he is free."

Yu Changqing took a deep look at him: "That's okay, Changqing is alone, and talking with old friends is just what he likes. But doesn't your Majesty know that even if this can relieve his depression for a while, it won't help him for the rest of his life? "

After a few days, Zhao Yan only assigned Yu Changqing the position of idle middle doctor, and he would be a waiter every now and then.It's just that Yu Changqing has no intention of being an official. To be a doctor here is to take money and not do anything. As for the servant, it is naturally for Xie Qing.

Although Yu Changqing lives in seclusion, but because of his high talent, he is well-known in the end.Everyone in the court did not know that he was a Qing guest in Prime Minister Xie's residence back then, and if he appeared in the court this time, someone would naturally want to drag Xie Qing on him.

There were those who died young, and those who praised the emperor for nostalgia. In short, Yu Changqing was not a big official, and the sensation caused was not small.Zhao Yanzhi had ghosts in his heart, and when Xie Qing's past was revealed, he was naturally taken aback.

In May of the seventh year of Chengguang, Zhao Yanzhi, who racked his brains, finally arranged a marriage for Xie Hou.The husband-in-law is the son of Wei Zhi, Xuancheng Marquis of Xie Qing's former ministry. Although he is average in talent, he is honest and kind, and he is a few years older than Xie Hou.

Zhao Yan was also satisfied with seeing Xie Qing, so he specially summoned Wei Zhi to discuss the matter of marriage.When Wei Zhi heard that his son was going to marry Xie Qing's only daughter, his eye circles immediately turned red, and he almost recounted Xie Qing's past with the emperor on the spot.Zhao Yanzhi didn't come to listen to this rough man reminiscing about the past, so he hurriedly stopped him, saying: "All these years, I have been raising my son, and I have always treated her like my own daughter. You just need to promise that you will treat her well. "

Wei Zhi hurriedly patted his chest to promise that he would treat Xie Hou as his own.

Zhao Yanzhi also expressed euphemistically and implicitly that he doesn't know how to raise children and only knows how to spoil her blindly. Zhao Sui and Chengming have always tolerated her, which made her a little spoiled. I hope his family doesn't mind in the future.

The rough man Wei Zhi didn't understand the importance of the emperor's doting and the prince's indulgence, but generously expressed that Xie Hou would let her make trouble as long as the Wei family didn't blow up the house, which made Zhao Yanzhi's face darken immediately.Even though the children he taught had a bad temper, they were still polite; besides, Xie Qing was a gentleman, how could his daughter do such a barbaric thing.

It's just that Wei Zhi said sadly: "It doesn't matter if you are pampered, as long as you don't risk your own life like the Marquis Xiang did back then. I have to protect her for the rest of her life, so I can be worthy of Your Majesty and Marquis Xiang, right?"

Zhao Yanzhi's dissatisfaction before it had time to explode was instantly annihilated, and he was suddenly too sad to speak.
