Natural Born Winner: 59. Princess Wanan

In the carriage, the female officer lowered her eyes, even if Zhao Xin's eyes fell on her, she was still submissive and said nothing, mixing incense for the princess.

Your Majesty and the Queen have not told the princess about the candidate for the son-in-law. Even if the princess is suspicious, she dare not reveal it.

From this point of view, she is undoubtedly a qualified female officer.

What's more, the female officer also thought about it in her heart, and telling the princess would only add to the troubles of the princess, and feel sad for those people who don't know how to behave and are bold.

Zhao Xin didn't make things difficult for her, and said with a faint smile, "After returning to the palace, you should go to the emperor's wife."

"Yes, princess." The female officer's heart tightened. Many nobles sometimes don't like people around them to watch.

After Zhao Xin glanced at her, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "You have to tell the emperor's sister-in-law about today's affairs, half a point must be missed."

The female officer's heart moved, she pursed her lips and smiled reservedly, "Yes, princess."

Mrs. Zhou was persuaded by Yang Siwei on the way back to the mansion, so as not to trouble her cousin, she did not mention the encounter with the princess in the silver building today. Mrs. Zhou saw that her niece was still worried about Ming Jia, she would rather be wronged, and her heart became firmer. Even if the princess married into Zhou's family, she would never let Wei'er be bullied.

But they didn't know that the queen in the palace already knew it clearly, and was even furious about it.

She and His Majesty favored Zhou Mingjia as the son-in-law, but she had a mother like Zhou Yang, who disrespected the princess and dared to be harsh on her, and had another candidate for a daughter-in-law in her mind. How could she let Xin'er marry into such a family? suffer.

The female officer knelt down, lowered her eyebrows and did not dare to raise her head. Even if she knew that the empress was not angry with her, she did not dare to say something wrong and offend the empress.

Thinking that His Majesty has not yet come to court, the Queen calmed down her anger a little, and asked again, "How is the princess?"

The female officer thought for a while and replied, "The princess is not unhappy."

The queen sighed slightly, Xin'er could not have done a better job, she didn't hurt the face of the royal family, and she didn't let the matter go out.

But in the end it was her who was wronged.

It is said that children who cry and fuss have sweets to eat, but those who are polite and sensible also make people feel distressed. "After His Majesty is in court, send someone over to tell His Majesty that there is something in the palace to discuss with His Majesty."

Mr. Zhou Ge has been thinking for the past two days, how to consider the reasons, not only not to damage the reputation of the princess, but also to live up to His Majesty's kindness, so he declined the matter.

It is best not to let His Majesty leave a bad impression on Ming Jia. After all, next spring, Ming Jia will end. Mr. Zhou Ge knows very well that the ranking of the imperial examination, especially the top three, has always been determined by the emperor's will of.

Otherwise there is no difference between fourth place and last place.

After Zhao Jin came down to court, he was a little surprised to hear Mr. Chen reply that the queen was looking for him.

Thinking that there might be something urgent, Zhao Jin also skipped the royal meal in the study and went to the Queen's Palace.

***

When Mr. Zhou Ge went to court, he clearly felt that the emperor Zhao Jin was indifferent to him. Although he is usually a sloppy and neutral attitude, Zhao Jin will also look at major events when he was left by the former emperor. Ask him for his opinion as an old man.

But today, no matter whether Mr. Zhao Ge and Mr. Yan Ge were arguing endlessly or proposing their own proposals, Zhao Jin didn't even look at him. There are many old foxes in the court. Was left out.

While people were not paying attention, Mr. Zhou Ge stretched out his hand in his robe and beat his waist because he was a little sore after standing for a long time. He didn't feel too tired on weekdays. tired.

Could it be that His Majesty thinks that he has not responded to the marriage for a long time? Zhou Ge was thinking about it,

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Officials reported to the emperor that this year's evaluation of officials from various places, according to the past practice, those who have been evaluated for three years can be promoted to a higher level or transferred to official positions.

The best among them is to be transferred back to the capital to serve as a capital official.

"Ningzhou Magistrate Zhou Mingli is an upright official. He has ruled for three years with sound government and harmonious people. He is deeply loved by the people." Elder Zhou Ge smiled inadvertently.

"I remember that Ningzhou is close to Feishui River. There have been many floods there in recent years. It is inconvenient for officials to be transferred. Let him stay there for another year."

Zhao Jin made a decision with a few words.

Feishui is three hundred miles away from Ningzhou. Even if there is a flood, how can it reach Ningzhou? Even if they know it is an excuse, no one dares to refute it.

Zhou Ge's face was slightly pale, but when he looked up, he saw Zhao Jin's extremely cold gaze looking at him, and he knew that something had really happened.

No matter how lenient it is on weekdays, when the emperor is angry, no one can stop him.

Remembering that even the queen rarely had a good look at him, Zhao Jin's impression of the Zhou family dropped to freezing point. However, it is inevitable that people will criticize Luohe, and it is not good for Zhao Jin to order Zhou Yang to be punished at this time. Then the mother's debt will be paid, and the brother will be fine.

After coming down to court, the old Zhou Ge, who was no longer smiling like in the past, waved his hand to dismiss his friend who was an official in the same dynasty, and went straight back to Zhou Mansion in a carriage.

Zhao Xin didn't expect that before she could do anything, it would be solved.

She said to 9526, "It seems that I am lucky."

Zhao Xin put down the sunspots and ended the game, "Well, there is progress."

From losing thirteen eyes at the beginning to now only losing half an eye, the little prince Zhao Lan rarely showed a sincere smile, "Aunt Luoshui, next time, Gu will definitely win you."

Zhao Lan, who has been studying hard under the strict requirements of his father and monk's study master, even takes playing chess very seriously.

Zhao Xin, who just poured the water casually, smiled, touched his head, and sighed in his heart, "It's impossible."

9526 looked at the host who bullied the children speechlessly.

Zhao Xin continued to laugh, "The crown prince's birthday is coming soon, tell me, what gift do you want?"

The little prince Zhao Lan said with a serious face, "The gift from the elders, everyone likes it."

When Zhao Xin was playing happily with the crown prince and nephew, the Zhou family was about to face a storm. Mr. Zhou Ge was able to stand still for nearly twenty years. Know the real reason for His Majesty's attitude.

If the eldest grandson or the eldest son's errands are not done well, Mr. Zhou Ge will admit it, but he doesn't want to be two ignorant women who made mistakes.

Mrs. Zhou was vague at the beginning, she only said that she had offended Princess Luohe, but when Zhou Ge used the methods in the court to force her to question, Mrs. Zhou was so scared that she panicked and said everything.

Old Zhou Ge almost turned his eyes black after listening to it, but he managed to calm down after all, even though his face was still livid with anger.

Your Majesty's intention to accept Zhou Mingjia as his son-in-law was only revealed, not publicized. Many honorable families in the capital didn't even know about it. In front of the toes high and high.

The princess didn't get angry and punished on the spot because she didn't want the news to become a threat to the royal family and take her husband away. That would hurt her reputation and the face of the royal family. Princess Luohe is obviously not a stupid person.

"Madam ignorance, who do you think you harmed? It's your two biological sons."

Elder Zhou Ge didn’t even bother to continue to get angry and teach his eldest daughter-in-law a lesson. When she first married, she was dignified and reasonable, virtuous and courteous. How come decades have passed, but she’s living more and more? It’s outrageous. Poor Mingli and Ming Jia had such a mother, Zhou Ge lamented endlessly.

Ms. Zhou knelt on the ground, shrinking her body. It was the first time she saw her father-in-law angry. She was also frightened, and her husband looked at her with majestic and angry eyes. Yang didn't know how she became like this.

She has been in the Zhou Mansion for more than 20 years, her parents-in-law have treated her well, never said a single harsh word, even when she took her niece who lost her parents to the mansion to be raised, no one said anything. However, she also gave birth to two precious grandchildren for the Zhou family. Her Mingli and Mingjia are the most outstanding descendants of the Zhou family, and the second and third bedrooms are only envied.

Madam Zhou has always been proud, and she just said a few words to Princess Luohe, but she was reprimanded like this, and she couldn't help feeling wronged. As expected, only Wei'er would be her good daughter-in-law.

"As you wish, this marriage is ruined, but if you let me hear another word about this matter, eldest daughter-in-law, you can go home by yourself." Zhou Ge's indifferent Canglong voice sounded.

It is impossible for him to punish Yang severely for this matter, or send Yang to his family temple to appease His Majesty's princess. After all, Yang is the mother of his two grandsons and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. , their Zhou family even had to bear His Majesty's anger for her.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang is still unaware of the seriousness of this matter, she is thinking of betrotting her niece to Ming Jia. Elder Zhou Ge does not dare to find another marriage for Ming Jia. Mrs. Yang even dares to offend the royal princess. Don't you want to be tortured by her if you lose the daughter of another family?

Then it's not marriage, but enmity.

Old Zhou Ge thinks he is not wrong, if he is not negligent, he seldom pays attention to the back house, and he would not have thought that Yang, a back house woman, would be so bold, reckless and stupid to this point.

When Zhou Yangshi heard this, she immediately forgot that she was afraid of being wronged, and instead became happy. Making Wei'er and Ming Jia a pair was the most satisfying thing for her. For this reason, even if her father-in-law was displeased, her husband would also treat her coldly, and Yang Shi didn't take it to heart.

However, Mrs. Zhou made a punishment, confining the eldest daughter-in-law for one month, and temporarily handing over the management of the housekeeper to the second daughter-in-law, Wu Shi.

After hearing this, Yang's face turned pale. She gave birth to the eldest son and grandson for the Zhou family, seeing Wu's joyful expression, Yang's heart ached.

Here, Mrs. Wu took the housekeeper right and went back to her courtyard happily, and said to her husband Zhou Mian, "Do you think sister-in-law is stupid?"

The second room also lives in the Zhou mansion, and it is close to the main room. I heard some rumors before, not to mention that Mr. Zhou Ge thoroughly investigated it as soon as he came back. .

In other words, her sister-in-law has had too many good times and her brain is not working well. She just prefers her niece, but she can still get in front of the princess.

Wu also has a deeper understanding of how much Yang Shi values ​​Yang Siwei, her niece. A marriage was tossed and gone.

Wu Shi and Zhou Mian said this, Zhou Mian glanced at her, but did not refute.

He also knows who his wife is, that is, she has a straightforward temper. If she has something to say directly in front of him, she really has no bad intentions. So he didn't restrain his wife, and let her talk in the house, anyway, he couldn't spread it outside.

What's more, it's not wrong.

Ms. Wu said happily, thought for a while, and smiled again, "I thought that all the good things in the world would be taken up by the big house."

Obviously her husband is better than her eldest brother Zhou Yan, but she has to fight on her own. She has been an official in other places for many years and only came back. Fang also gave birth to two such outstanding grandsons, who were favored by Mr. Zhou Ge.

Even His Majesty thought of Zhou Mingjia when choosing a son-in-law for Princess Luohe, why is it so enviable.

After thinking about it like this, Wu felt that it would be better if the marriage is gone,

"If my sister-in-law had a princess daughter-in-law, her eyelids would be as high as the sky, and even her mother-in-law would be ignored."

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case, so even if Mrs. Yang is grounded, Mrs. Wu is determined to arrange the marriage between Zhou Mingjia and Yang Siwei, the sooner the better, lest the big house has the opportunity to step on them .
