Several people in the hall looked towards the door at the same time, Zhao Yanzhi was striding towards him.Wang Chun breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Hou was overjoyed, and only Xie Qing responded to his question.He said honestly: "I pour tea for Zhonggong."

Zhao Yanzhi stared at him, and said with a half-smile: "Pour tea? The pot is full of boiling water, can you handle it?"

This is really a joke, holding the handle of the pot, no matter how hard it is to burn him.But I don't know if Xie Qing is really obedient or if he doesn't want to pour tea for Zhou Hou at all, he just gave up the fight for the teapot with an "oh".

Zhou Hou felt aggrieved, she looked at Zhao Yanzhi resentfully, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this son is so rude that he doesn't pay attention to his concubine; you are spoiling him too much."

Xie Qing looked at the sky indifferently, and Zhao Yanzhi said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I don't bother you about what my people are like. What's the matter?"

Zhou Hou saw that Zhao Yan only looked worried, so he didn't dare to say any more.She glanced at Zhao Yanzhi unwillingly, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Not at all; Your Majesty, this concubine is looking at the hot weather, so I boiled soup to relieve the heat and brought it to Your Majesty."

Reaching out to not hit the smiling face, Zhao Yan only heard the words, his tone became much calmer, and he said with a "huh", "Let it go."

Speaking of relieving summer heat, Zhao Yanzhi suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he hadn't felt hot since he entered the palace.Zhao Yan only looked around for a week before realizing that the charcoal basin was gone, and his brows furrowed all of a sudden.

"Wang Chun, where's the charcoal brazier?" Zhao Yanzhi asked displeased.

Wang Chun was embarrassed, he hesitated and refused to speak; Xie Qing said, "I asked Chunling to throw it out, it's been a few months." hot."

The coquettish tone made Zhao Yan shudder, but before he could say anything, Xie Qing got up and left.

Zhao Yanzhi sighed, thinking anxiously, when will such a day be counted.He asked Empress Zhou without much energy: "Qing is here to deliver soup? Tell me, what else is there?"

Zhou Hou glanced at Zhao Yanzhi, but couldn't see his joy or anger, so he said carefully, "Your Majesty, take a look, is it time to choose a husband's family for Ayu?"

"Ah...Yu." Zhao Yanzhi was momentarily at a loss for words.This matter has been delayed by him for a long time, it's shameful to think about it, and it's no wonder Zhou Hou was anxious; but he really didn't take this matter to heart, so he could only ask awkwardly: "Well, is there anyone you fancy? "

Seeing Zhao Yanzhi's pleasant face, Zhou Hou relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "I think the name badge of the son of the Marquis of Chengyang is very good. The child is not yet married, and his character is also good. Although he is a few years younger than Ayu, it is still considered a Knowing everything, what does His Majesty think?"

Zhao Yan only thought that the queen's brains had grown in vain. Didn't she see that the Xie family had just fallen, and she wanted to send her daughter to the Zhou family.After all, it is my own daughter, the queen is useless, and I have to worry about it myself.Zhao Yanzhi resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and rejected Zhou Hou: "It's not right. Qing, go back first, let me think about it."

After sending Zhou away, Zhao Yanzhi just sat there and became unhappy.He looked around and found that Wang Chun was still there, so he asked, "What's going on today?"

Wang Chun explained the ins and outs of the matter, and finally concluded: "My lord is probably annoyed by my minister's words."

Zhao Yanzhi sighed: "He... hey, that's all, no wonder you, you can't do anything about it. I'll go and have a look."

Speaking of Zhao Yanzhi getting up to leave, Wang Chun helped him up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you feel that the young master's appearance today is much more vivid?"

Zhao Yanzhi looked at Wang Chun, his expression changed from hesitation to doubt, and then slowly revealed the same smile as Wang Chun.That's right, Xie Qing has been like a pool of stagnant water for too long.

Zhou Hou returned to the Jiaofang Hall, sent out all the palace people, and sat alone in the bedroom hall to sulk.It wasn't until Zhao Yu came out from behind the curtain after a long time that he was surprised to find that his mother, who had disappeared for most of the day, had been sitting here silently for an unknown amount of time. "Mum?" Zhao Yu blurted out, and she sat down next to Zhou Hou, "Why are you sitting here alone?"

When Zhou Hou saw her daughter, he felt that there was a place to vent his grievances.She said indignantly to Zhao Yu: "Don't mention it, the male favorite raised by the superior is simply, simply domineering!"

"Auntie went to see Father?" Zhao Yu frowned, "Who did Father put by his side?"

Speaking of that lawless Liuyun, Zhou Hou became angry.She snorted, and said: "Don't mention it, I don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and he will cry in the future. I think he can be proud for a few more days, his hair is half gray, and he is not young anymore, beautiful is beautiful, Compared to the past..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Hou suddenly stopped, his face changed from doubt to horror, and his expression fluctuated, which made Zhao Yu's heart shudder.She couldn't help holding her mother's hand, and asked in a low voice, "What did Mom think of?"

Zhou Hou looked at his daughter blankly, and said in a trembling voice: "I remembered, no wonder he looks familiar, he looks like the old Xianghou."

Zhou Hou also met Xie Qing a few times in the early years, and was even robbed by Xie Qing.Although Xie Qing was demoted to Beiping for three years because of this incident, it did not prevent her from remembering that mean beauty.It's just that after so many years, Xie Qing's temperament and appearance have changed a lot, so she didn't recognize him at first sight.

After the death of Marquis Xiang, there were no prime ministers and great Sima in the court.No matter how others are promoted, they will not be able to move to those two positions.The position that Xie Qing once held was taken by Zhao Yanzhi for himself; the house where Xie Qing once lived was not allowed to live in others.Zhou Hou suddenly opened up at this point, there is no jealousy or hatred in my heart, I just feel creepy.

"It's nothing, I was wrong." Tian Xing Liuyun has such a face, so the word "fading and loving relaxation" probably has nothing to do with him.

Zhou Hou felt as if he had discovered a shocking secret. After weighing it up, he still didn't tell his daughter, and instead talked about her second worrying thing of the day: "Ayu, what do you think of the younger brother of Uncle's family? ?”

"Famous badge? What happened to him?" Zhao Yu asked, not understanding what his mother meant for a while.

"Hey, I don't understand. Mom wants to find a marriage for you. You've seen Mingzhang, I think that child is pretty good." Zhou Hou looked at her daughter narrowly and smiled.

"No." Zhao Yu flatly refused, and she asked her mother worriedly, "Did Mom tell Father?"

Zhou Hou felt a little frustrated. She didn't understand how she could reject the marriage she had bothered to choose for her daughter without even thinking about it.Zhou Hou said weakly to Zhao Yu: "I said it. But the reaction of your father and daughter is the same."

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a little happy that his father finally thought of her for a while.She said coquettishly to her mother: "Mother, don't rush to drive Ayu away. Ayu doesn't want to get married, but wants to be with mother."

"Nonsense." Zhou Hou glared at her daughter, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Zhao Yan only felt that everything was not going well for him today, as soon as he saw off an uninvited guest, another one came.Before he could go to coax Xie Qing, Xiao Huangmen came to report that Yu Changqing, the Chinese doctor who was serving today, had arrived outside the hall.

Zhao Yanzhi was angry, Wang Chun hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, let Dr. Yu talk to the young master, maybe the young master will forget about the day's affairs."

Zhao Yan only thought about it, and thought it made sense.So he waved his hand at the small yellow gate, signaling for Yu Changqing to go directly to Xie Qing's place, while he left the sleeping hall and went to the front hall.

When Yu Changqing entered the door, Xie Qing was playing with his precious Jiaowei.Seeing Yu Changqing, Xie Qing was very happy, and he couldn't see the unhappiness that happened just now at all.Xie Qing smiled and said, "Changqing? Come and sit, I'll play the piano for you."

At the end of the song, Xie Qing was still very happy, and Yu Changqing couldn't help being a little puzzled.Wang Chun just told him what happened today on the way to lead him here, and Yu Changqing was surprised and worried.Unexpectedly, Xie Qing's appearance today made him unable to see any clues at all.

But if Xie Qing didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to ask.He played the piano and chatted happily with Xie Qing throughout the afternoon, and he didn't leave until before lunch.On the way out of Chengde Hall, Yu Changqing met Zhao Yanzhi who was walking back. He wanted to say something to the emperor, but he didn't speak in the end.

Zhao Yan only came back to eat with Xie Qing.Xie Qing has been picky lately, and it is even more difficult to serve Zhao Sui than when Zhao Sui was young. Every meal is like a war; Just flipped the table over.

But today Xie Qing was surprisingly obedient.He honestly ate a few mouthfuls of each dish, and even added a bowl of meat soup, which really surprised Zhao Yanzhi.

Xie Qing ignored him after eating, and left the table to do his own business.Zhao Yanzhi ate a few more bites in a hurry, rushed over to have a look, and smiled.The fragrance that filled the room was pleasant, and the fragrance that Xie Qing had been tossing about for half a year finally came to fruition.

Although Xie Qing played with this one and that one all night but didn't talk to him, Zhao Yanzhi didn't care. He held a bamboo slip in his hand and sometimes looked at Xie Qing and sometimes read a book.When it was time to sleep, he wrapped her tightly in his arms as usual, but bit Xie Qing's ear and asked, "Huaifang, did you do it on purpose today?"
