In the general's mansion, there is no false courtesy, and on weekdays, it is very lively to invite friends to Zhangtai to walk horses, hit balls and play cuju.But now in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, Chu Zhao didn't dare to take an extra step, for fear of meeting someone or saying something wrong.Staying in Zhaoyang Palace, Ning Yuyao didn't care much about her, but it seemed like a quiet place in the palace, but there was also an undercurrent surging underneath.No, the news of Princess Zhaoyang's safe return spread, and the concubines came to visit in a hurry, and piles of gifts were sent to Zhaoyang Palace. Some careful considerations are also obvious.

Today, the Son of Heaven is the lord of sages, and he rarely indulges in matters of the harem, but he is the Son of Heaven after all, and the Sangong and Six Courtyards are indispensable.However, in the past 30 years, the emperor respected the eldest grandson empress very much, and the other concubines could not shake the latter position at all, so they slowly extinguished that thought. Even the noble concubine Webster, who is now a concubine, is also acting cautiously , for fear of offending the queen.Although the harem is like this, the princes in the court may not be able to have such harmony, but the princes of the clan who have some influence will inevitably have some desire to seize the throne.

When Concubine Wei went to the Zhaoyang Palace, Chu Zhao found an excuse and hid. Every time he saw everyone, he had to salute. People who are lazy and informal will always feel a little uncomfortable.I thought you, Princess Zhaoyang, would be out for a long time, but when I turned to a volume of story books, I saw Princess Zhaoyang's notes, and then I heard footsteps.Chu Zhao was taken aback, and hurriedly put down the storybook, and in a hurry, directly knocked over the duck stove on the table, and the ashes fell all over the place in no time.

"You don't need to clean up the house." Ning Yuyao saw the mess as soon as she came.The words on the case had been tampered with, how could she not know?It's not something to be seen, it's just that Chu Zhao's cover-up behavior seems to be that she has some shady secret.

"Being in front of the princess, the maids and I are naturally not surprised." Even if the father is a hot and powerful minister, so what?After all, it is not as good as the royal nobles.That's what Chu Zhao said, but she didn't see any movement.Ning Yuyao, on the other hand, came to her side and started to organize the book case by herself, not forgetting to bury Chu Zhao, "I don't know who was serving who a few days ago."

Isn't that what you said when you were in the valley?Is it because she is injured and has limited mobility?And it was somewhat inappropriate for Qin Yiren to take care of all that.Chu Zhao thought to herself, but a bright smile appeared on her face. She turned to Ning Yuyao, raised her hands high, and said with a long bow, "Thank you, princess."

"If it's not sincere, let's avoid this hypocritical gift." Ning Yuyao glanced at Chu Zhao and sneered.After a pause, she said again, "Do you know why Concubine Wei Gui came here?"

"I don't know." Chu Zhao shook his head and said, even if he knew, he could only do not know.How could the royal family allow her to speculate?Concubine Wei is the biological mother of King Guang Ninglang, but Chu Zhao knows that Concubine Wei wants King Guang to be close to her two elder brothers, but she doesn't want him to be friends with him.

"Of course I interceded for the King of Light." Ning Yuyao snorted. She paid attention to Chu Zhao's expression, and seeing that she was not moved by the word "King of Light", she breathed a sigh of relief and continued. "Speaking of this matter, King Guang was indeed wronged. He was fined for half a year, and he was ordered by his father to face the wall and think about his mistakes. He was temporarily not allowed to participate in government affairs. Concubine Wei wanted me to go to my father to intercede, but the words of gold , how can I decide what to do?"

"I'm afraid you don't know one more thing. The assassin in the forest has been found out, and the mastermind behind the scenes is the second prince Ning Qiong." Ning Yuyao is not very close to the other princes, and rarely calls her brother in private .Seeing the surprise on Chu Zhao's face, she pursed her lips, "I told you long ago that the royal family's relationship is weak. After he was impeached by the prince a few days ago, he was scolded by the emperor. I Guess he is dissatisfied because of this, so he will hit me hard."

The second prince, Ning Qiong, is lustful/greedy, insidious and cunning, and a dandy among dandies.Chu Zhao had heard a lot about his "brilliant deeds", but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless. "That's it?" Chu Zhao always felt that it was not that simple, but her identity was not good enough to ask more questions.

"This matter was settled before we returned to the palace." Ning Yuyao frowned, "Father is still kind, but he was deposed as a commoner and expelled from the capital. What happens in the future depends on his own fate. But I always feel that his life is not long." Ning Yuyao added.Looking at the characters in the history books, the fate of being deposed is generally miserable, not to mention that Ning Qiong's mother's family background is humble, and there is no big family as a backer at all.

Chu Zhao sighed, and said with emotion: "It's really not as good as the wild cranes in the clouds, so you can be at ease." After a pause, she turned to Ning Yuyao again, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to see me? Why don't you ask for a favor from the Holy Majesty? Dissolve this ridiculous marriage?"

"Why don't you give up until now? Why don't you ask yourself?" Ning Yuyao felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this.Seeing the reluctance on Chu Zhao's face, she said again, "I don't want to either. It's just thanks to you that I escaped danger this time. My father, the queen and the queen even recognized the hexagram of the national teacher. I can't. But I have—" She stopped abruptly after speaking halfway, Ning Yuyao originally planned to tell Chu Zhao her plan to escape from marriage, but she was afraid that it would cause trouble, so she pursed her lips and gave up.

Chu Zhao didn't notice her expression on the other side, and she asked again: "How long will I stay in Zhaoyang Palace? If someone comes every day, nodding and bowing, my poor body really can't bear it. Besides I have returned safely, should I go back to meet my parents after the face saint? But it has been several days in a row, and not even a letter has been sent out."

"We have neglected this point." Ning Yuyao heard the complaint in Chu Zhao's tone, and after a while she asked again, "Is your injury really healed?"

"These medicines can be taken back to the mansion." Chu Zhao's eyes flickered, and she looked at Ning Yuyao expectantly, waiting for her to let go.

Thoughts were clearly written on her face, how could Ning Yuyao not understand?She couldn't figure it out, she offered food and drink in Zhaoyang Palace, but she never neglected her, and even put the medicine on her back, she did it herself, and she didn't know why this guy was upset.At this moment, she was not angry anymore, she stared at Chu Zhao, rolled her eyes in a very disfigured manner, and snorted, "After I tell my mother, I will take you back to the General's Mansion in a carriage tomorrow."

"Then thank you princess." Chu Zhao bent over and cupped his hands with uncontrollable joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.After a while, he raised his head again to look at Ning Yuyao's calm and pear-like eyebrows.It is said that the inner temperament will affect a person's appearance, and it is the same when I think about it.The eldest princess and the second princess can be regarded as beauties in Beijing, but the hostility and irascibility that appeared abruptly destroyed that beauty.Chu Zhao saw quite a few ladies, and after much deliberation, Princess Zhaoyang was more beautiful, flamboyant and charming, worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman.As soon as the troubled matter in his heart was resolved, Chu Zhao forgot his identity as soon as he was satisfied, and became inappropriate when speaking.She pointed to the scriptures on the desk, and said with a narrow smile, "Princess likes the show of wit and beauty? She appreciates those frail scholars who spend all day talking or reciting poems? Rewarded talent?"

Getting angry with Chu Zhao, but in the end it just made me angry, which is really not worth it.Ning Yuyao frowned and took a deep breath, but she still couldn't calm down.She squinted at that flowery smiling face, and said with a sneer, "You really can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth."

Chu Zhao shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Princess, even people can't spit out ivory."

When Ning Yuyao heard this, she became angry immediately, and raised her right hand high, but she still held back when she looked at that face.She twisted around the screen.Qing Yi, the maid of honor who was close to the palace, was waiting at the side. Seeing her come out, she hurriedly brought a cup of tea to relieve her anger, and glared angrily at the unknowing person behind the screen, muttering: "Princess, you will She stayed in the palace just to make herself unhappy, so why not send her out?"

"Of course she wishes I could send her back to the general's mansion. She despises the palace." Ning Yuyao snorted, her voice still not lowered, as if she was saying it to Chu Zhao on purpose, "This is Chu Da. The young lady has a clear mind, and she makes a lot of detours, and you know that most of the rumors are rumors, right?"

Chu Zhao heard Ning Yuyao's dissatisfaction, she curled her lips, glanced at the incense ash on the ground, and then turned her eyes to the script.Princess Zhaoyang didn't mention this issue, so she obviously didn't care much about it. This means that she can also take a look at the book on the case?Chu Zhao is used to doing things casually, and there are few people in the general's mansion who control her.At this moment, it doesn't matter where the angry Princess Zhaoyang has gone, but she is reading the script with relish.The rich lady is a poor scholar, and the marriage that is not blessed by her family naturally elopes in the end.Princess Zhaoyang is also a wonderful person, there is no mark anywhere else, but the elopement route, the difficulties encountered and the methods of coping are written in the story book.Could it be that Princess Zhaoyang has someone in her heart and wants to elope to the ends of the earth just like the scriptures?
