Chapter 28 Cousins

"Father." Zhao Caiyu gave the emperor an embarrassing smile.

The emperor turned his head and looked at Concubine Xiang, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "It seems that this soul-leaving disease is not as good as it is."

Concubine Xiang went to the emperor to discuss the marriage with Princess Pingyang's youngest son, but the emperor had heard from the queen, the seventh princess, and the seventh princess, and the seventh princess Wei that the seventh princess had been disfigured again, which also made the emperor worried, so he did not readily agree to Concubine Xiang.

Princess Pingyang is not an ordinary royal relative to the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and is still a meritorious minister. Her daughter-in-law cannot be stuffed casually. If Xiao Shiqi does not have this soul-leaving disease, the emperor can still make the decision. No, even if Xiao Shiqi does not have soul-leaving disease, the emperor cannot betrothed her to Chai Wude. Although the emperor favors Princess Qiqi, he also knows all her bad natures. Knows all her bad natures but still dotes on her. This is true love.

Looking at Zhuyuan Yurun’s daughter’s eyes glaring at her, the emperor sighed and said, “Restoring well, don’t think too much about other things. With the father here, everything will be fine.”

This is for Concubine Xiang. If you have the soul-leaving symptoms, Xiao Shiqi cannot marry Chai Wude, but if you have the emperor, you will be betrothed to her in the future.

Concubine Xiang is not a big-breasted and brainless person. She has beauty and brains, otherwise she would not have become the first prince's favorite concubine. When the prince's backer fell, she could still cling to the King of Qin and now she has become the Concubine of the Great Zhou. Therefore, Concubine Xiang knew what the emperor said when she heard the emperor's words. In front of Zhao Caiyu, she did not defend herself, because her daughter also strongly opposed the marriage, so she could only find another opportunity to blow the wind beside the emperor.

As for Zhao Caiyu, she had to perform well after finally meeting the emperor. She has always been a good student who loves to perform. From childhood to adulthood, in every class, the teacher raised a question, and she had to lift her hand off. Later, after work, she also wanted to perform, but she had no chance to stand out, so she could only be mediocre, unwilling to give in and complain a lot. Now it's different. Her immediate boss is the emperor, the biggest person in the world. How could she miss such a big opportunity to show off?

Zhao Caiyu asked the emperor: "Father, has the Prince's Grand Tutor recently gone to Liangyi Hall to report to you about the Prince's Brother's coursework?" She had already talked from Chu Kun these days. When the Prince's Grand Tutor went to report to the Emperor's coursework, he would mention his mouth and talk about the Seventeenth Princess's coursework. What he said in the past was naturally not good, but now it's different. She performed so well recently, so the Prince's Grand Tutor can definitely say good things to her, right?

After all, Zhao Caiyu is an old ghost in his thirties. According to principles, he has long been unsurprising to praise and criticize all the sails in the world. However, after all, he is the emperor. Who doesn’t want to be recognized by the emperor?

However, Zhao Caiyu was disappointed. The emperor said no. He was very busy recently and had no time to summon Xia Langui, which made Zhao Caiyu very disappointed. He could not use other people's mouths, so he could not brag in front of the emperor by himself, right? Although she used to brag in front of her father, her father, a simple farmer, would be particularly proud of her and was amused by her awesomeness, but the emperor was different. He had never seen anyone before. Now he was not familiar with the emperor, and she didn't catch the emperor's nature. Zhao Caiyu dared not act rashly. After all, this wise ruler had done something to kill his brother. Who knows if he was moody?

Emperor Taizong in history books is indeed a wise ruler, but who knows whether the emperor in front of him is exactly the same as Emperor Taizong, and who knows whether the historical books that play the role of the royal family genealogy want to overthrow the peace?

Zhao Caiyu was still very excited about this lunch that she shared with the emperor and the imperial concubine. She told the emperor and the imperial concubine many interesting stories, all of which were the novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties I read in the past. The emperor and the imperial concubine had never heard of it, and they only felt novel.

While the family of three was having fun, Wu Yue had already finished lunch with Concubine Yan, and the cousins ​​and sisters were talking privately in the warm room.

"I heard that my uncle and grandfather are in poor health recently?" Concubine Yan asked Wu Yue.

Wu Yue nodded: "I made a special trip to see him before entering the palace. My grandfather is older and has increased his nightmares. He told me that he often dreams of his grandfather in his sleep."

Concubine Yan's grandfather is Wu Yue's grandfather's brother, and their mother is cousin, so Wu Yue wants to call Concubine Yan "cousin". Concubine Yan's grandfather has passed away a few years ago, and Wu Yue's grandfather has been in poor health recently and often dreams of dead brothers. I believe the old man's life is almost the same.

Death is like the falling leaves, like the lights and candles are extinguished, and like the smoke and clouds are dissipated. Therefore, the cousins ​​and sisters are very sad when they talk about this topic.

Seeing that Wu Yue was depressed, Concubine Yan hurriedly left the topic and said something happy to her, asking her how she was serving in front of the emperor. The emperor treated her well because the maids in the bedroom had already been shut down, Concubine Yan's question was so hard that it made Wu Yue feel embarrassed and scolded her: "Cousin..."

Concubine Yan laughed, took her hand, and said, "What's the shame of your cousins? Since your family arranged for you to enter the palace, you naturally wanted you to catch the holy favor and do your best for the family. You can't be embarrassed. Which of the women in this palace is not a matter of mechanism to tear off their faces and catch something in front of the emperor?"

That's the emperor. Anything he can easily bring the family a good benefit.

Wu Yue was a little discouraged and said, "My cousin doesn't know anything. During the days before the emperor, I found that the emperor had no intention of men and women in me. He seemed to only regard me... as his book boy."

In addition to the job of serving tea, the emperor also asked Wu Yue to do some grinding and laying paper while working. Wu Yue was flexible, quick-witted, and pleasing to the eye. According to the emperor, Wu Yue stood next to him. When he reviewed the memorials, he was as clear as spring breeze, and he was very awake, so he kept asking Wu Yue to serve him.

When Concubine Yan heard Wu Yue say one by one, she laughed even more. She touched Wu Yue's face and said, "Cousin, you silly child, the emperor is the manifestation of his liking for you. If he doesn't like you, would he let you fly around in front of him?"

Wu Yue said, "Cousin, I didn't fly around, I just stood like a wood."

Concubine Yan laughed and coughed again, and she said, "Everything is the same, this is how the emperor likes you."

Wu Yue still felt strange in her heart. If she likes someone, she just lets her stand next to her, and doesn’t she do anything?

"I think the emperor is old and doesn't want to be a woman anymore?"

As soon as Wu Yue said that Concubine Yan covered her mouth, "Cousin, you can't say that the emperor is in his prime and is still old. Look at how many concubines there are in this harem? How could the emperor not miss a woman?"

That's just that I don't like her. Wu Yue is still stubborn, and thinking about it like this makes her feel discouraged.

Seeing that she was depressed, Concubine Yan encouraged her and said, "You can't be attentive to yourself?"

"What cousin means is to let me seduce the emperor?" Wu Yue looked at Concubine Yan with innocent eyes.

Concubine Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, why did the family choose this cousin to enter the palace? Before entering the palace, the whole family praised her for being in the sky and without earth, but now she seems that this cousin has not made any progress at all!

Wu Yue also knew that she was disliked by her cousin, so she left Yan Fei's bedroom in depressed and walked slowly back to Liangyi Palace alone, thinking to herself that she had never seduced a man in her life, but she couldn't. Why didn't her cousin drive her out without teaching her?

My thoughts are ups and downs, and my steps are deep and shallow, and I accidentally bump into someone.
