Chapter 123: Living in Peace
“That’s not right!”
On the way to Renming Palace, Zhao Xing suddenly reacted.
Even according to the original development, my father can still live for one or two years.
And his existence gave my father hope that he should live a few more years than before.
But the father's behavior just now seemed as if he was about to die.
Could it be that his father deliberately acted it out for him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing quickened his pace a little.
When I came to Renming Palace and saw Empress Cao, I couldn't help but be talked about by her.
Zhao Xing did not dare to refute and listened honestly.
When Empress Cao said she was tired, she said: "Mother, I just saw that my father's face was not very good. Is he sick?"
Empress Cao was stunned and said: "In the past few days, the official family has been busy. Your health has been fine. Have you called the imperial doctor?”
“My father said it’s okay, otherwise I must have been tired. My mother usually advises my father to take a good rest.” Xing said.
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Putting aside his feelings, he also wanted his father to live a few more years.
If his father died at the same time as before, he would have been at most sixteen or seventeen years old at that time.
At his age, he would not be able to hold great power even if he ascended the throne.
Either choose a few ministers who care about life, or let Queen Cao listen to politics behind the curtain.
No matter what the possibility is, it is not what Zhao Xing wants to see.
Historically, many ministers have had too much power. If this happens, he will have to fight with the ministers in a battle of wits and courage.
As for Queen Cao, Zhao Xing was also a little worried.
Although Empress Cao seems to be very kind to him now, the temptation of power is too great.
In the original play, after Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne, Empress Cao listened to the government behind the curtain, but later she was unwilling to delegate power.
According to the situation, it seems that Empress Cao failed to treat Zhao Zongquan with Cao Sui, and maintained the attitude towards Liao Xia when the late emperor was in power.
But who can say clearly whether there is a factor of reluctance to give up power?
After all, I was not Empress Cao’s biological child. Even if she was, Wu Zetian had killed her own son for power.
Moreover, when he takes power in the future, he will not be able to maintain his father's attitude towards Liao Xia.
If Empress Cao is really allowed to listen to politics behind the curtain, the two of them might have conflicts as well.
Empress Cao’s words undoubtedly confirmed that the father was just faking it.
It's possible that it's not all pretending. My father may have some understanding of his body.
However, judging from the current situation, my father's health should be fine in the short term.
...
A few days after the trial ended, it was the day when Mrs. Wu held a polo match.
Early that morning, Zhao Xing took Yu Yanran in a carriage to the polo ground.
Yu Yanran has been living and eating with Zhao Xing for the past few days. After getting along for a few days, Yu Yanran has become more and more comfortable when facing Zhao Xing.
Perhaps she will be able to see her grandmother soon, and Yu Yanran’s eyebrows are filled with excitement.
Zhao Xing picked up Yu Yanran's catkins, put them in his hand to play with, and said, "Didn't I tell you that if you want to go back, you can go back and have a look at any time."
"I just feel like leaving. I haven’t been home for a few days, so it’s not good to go back,” Yu Yanran said.
Her current status is not suitable for her to go back.
Zhao Xing shook his head slightly and said: "The polo field is not interesting. When we arrive in a while, you go and talk to Mrs. Yu. We will go to Jinmingchi for lunch at noon and finish at Jinmingchi in the afternoon. Gu Rang He built a polo field, and occasionally played polo.”
His status was not suitable for him to play polo at the polo club, so he made it in the Jinmingchi Royal Villa. Got one.
When I am free and bored, I will take Gu Tingye and the others there to play polo.
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Yu Yanran said happily.
......
When they arrived at the polo field, Zhao Xing asked Yu Yanran to go find her grandmother.
I came to his special tent.
The British princess and Zhang Guifen had already arrived, and the tent was next to him. Zhao Xing asked Sanshui to go over and invite Zhang Guifen over.
"Meet Your Highness." Zhang Guifen saluted. "Without courtesy, come and sit." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Zhang Guifen is more than a year older than him. She was already a hairdresser last year, but because of his age, the two have not yet gotten married.
In the past few years, Zhao Xing would call her over for a chat at every polo match. When facing Zhao Xing, she lost her previous restraint. When she heard this, she came to Zhao Xing's side with a gust of fragrance. The stool sat down.
"Did you bring Ruhuo?" Zhao Xing asked.
“Bring it!” Zhang Guifen said with bright eyes: “Your Highness, do you want to play polo in the afternoon?”
“Yes.” Zhao Xing nodded and said, “My riding skills have improved again. We must beat Zhonghuai this afternoon.”
Last year he took Zhang Guifen to play polo at the polo field in Jinmingchi. At that time, he was in a group with Zhang Guifen, and opposite him were Gu Tingye and Gu Tingye. Qi Heng.
At first, the two deliberately gave in to each other, but Zhao Xing scolded them and they did not dare to give in.
The final result was that Zhao Xing and Zhang Guifen lost.
"Okay!" Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "We will definitely win this time."
"By the way, I will call two people over this afternoon and introduce them to you then." Zhao Xing said.
"Is His Highness talking about Miss Yu? She and I have already met. Who is the other one?" Zhang Guifen asked doubtfully.
Zhao Xing said he wanted to introduce someone to her, so naturally it couldn’t be a man.
"It's not Yanran. I found out this afternoon. One of them can also play polo, and he's pretty good at it." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
"Then I can't wait to get to know you." Zhang Guifen said.
Zhao Xing had called Yu Yanran over before to let her know him, and she knew what the purpose was.
I just want them to get acquainted with each other in advance so that they can live together peacefully in the future.
It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even if she marries a well-matched family, it is impossible for her future husband not to have concubines, let alone a prince.
She is very open-minded about this aspect. As long as Zhao Xing has her in his heart, and those concubines are honest and honest, with her character, she will not target them.
She became somewhat interested when she heard that one of the people Zhao Xing introduced her to knew could play polo.
However, she knew that the concubines Zhao Xing had already settled on were not as good at polo.
Many female relatives know how to play polo, but few are good at it.
……
"Grandma!"
"Yanran!"
Old Mrs. Yu excitedly took her granddaughter and looked at her: "Why does she seem to have lost weight?"
For the polo club , People of Mrs. Yu’s age have no interest at all.
I came here this time because I knew that Zhao Xing likes to come to polo clubs, and I was wondering if I would bring her granddaughter here.
"No way, my granddaughter feels like she's gained weight." Yu Yanran said with a smile.
"Sit down quickly and let grandma take a good look."
Old Mrs. Yu pulled Yu Yanran down and looked at it carefully.
"You all stand down!" Mrs. Yu looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said to the servants in the tent.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Yu Yanran asked confusedly when she saw that her grandmother looked strange.
"Yanran, why are you still a virgin? Does His Royal Highness dislike you?"
With Mrs. Yu's eyesight, she can still tell whether she is a virgin or not.
She was so excited at first that she didn’t pay attention. But the more she looked at it, the more something was wrong.
"Grandma, it's not what you think." Yu Yanran blushed and explained the situation in a low voice.
"So, Your Highness thinks that you are too young and is afraid of hurting your body, so he doesn't favor you?" Mrs. Yu looked at her granddaughter in disbelief.
"Yes." Yu Yanran nodded and said, "If grandma doesn't believe it, you can ask Mother Xu. In the past few days, my granddaughter has... been... resting in His Highness's palace."
Old Mrs. Yu naturally If you don't believe it, you call Mrs. Xu over and ask her for a while, then you have to believe it.
