Chapter 1574: Tiger Girl 58
In fact, General Zhao's idea is correct. If the third prince is really interested in Zhao Yingxue, he can enter the palace that night to ask for a marriage. The reason for not doing this was not to be rejected when the Zhou family came to propose marriage. What he wanted was for General Zhao to be subdued, actively reject other marriage proposals, and willingly marry his concubine to him.
Tianjia is ruthless, and he doesn't mean it sincerely. After getting married, what good fruits can you eat?
Zhao Yingxue didn't think so, so she might make a fuss in the house.
"The Third Young Master and Young Master Sun are here, please come to the house quickly. Miss, the Third Young Master and Young Master Sun are here!" The old woman waiting outside shouted eagerly early.
When Zhao Heming entered the room, the first thing he did was pounce on the osmanthus crystal cake on the Kang table.
Zhao Yingyue did not take off her cloak and sat down on the other side of the hot kang: "Little sister, don't lie down. Today is the Lantern Festival. I must go out and have a look."
Xi Ning was in no mood: "These two days are a troubled time, and troubles can easily happen if there are many people."
The third prince and Zhao Chengzong were keeping an eye on her. They failed to succeed in falling into the water last time, so they would definitely think of another way. There is a long way to go. If you give up once you fail, how can you talk about the great cause of seizing the throne? They probably don't believe that they can't deal with her, a sick and stupid girl who has not yet left the court. In addition, General Zhao has now said that before he returns to Yanguan, all the marriages of his children will be settled.
The marriage of the second concubine has basically been decided, and the third legitimate son has asked the matchmaker to look for a suitable one. The body master is just a little younger than Zhao Yingxue, so outsiders will definitely think that it will be the body master's turn once the third legitimate son's marriage is decided.
During this period, Zhao Chengzong must be taking action.
She should just hide in the house obediently and not go anywhere.
"Just bring more people." Zhao Yingyue was very confident and sure: "With me accompanying you and a dozen guards, nothing will happen. Besides, during this period, things happened one after another, and there were rumors outside. Regarding my sister, if you hide in the house and don’t come out, you might be said to be guilty.”
"Oh, are there rumors outside?" Xining raised his eyebrows and sneered: "The action is really fast, I wish it would be known to the whole world."
Zhao Yingxue and Aunt Xu were both banned. Everyone in the house had beaten them and they did not dare to spread rumors outside. Then it was most likely the third prince and the others who spread the word.
Releasing this rumor would be extremely detrimental to Zhao Yingxue and the Zhenguo General's Mansion. When the third prince went to ask for the order, it would appear that the third prince was benevolent.
Zhao Yingyue understood what she was thinking: "Maybe the waiter in the wine shop spread the news. After all, when the second sister went upstairs, she didn't wear a curtain hat. Someone must have seen it."
Xi Ning said leisurely: "Whether it is a rumor from outsiders or not depends on how many people know it now. Based on rumors in the market alone, it will take several days for the entire capital to know."
If someone spread it deliberately, it would be much faster. It could even be known to women and children in a day or two, and even the officials in the palace would know about it.
Zhao Yingyue was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of admiration: "My little sister is still thoughtful."
In this case, you really need to go out and show your face. The more people know that there is a brave and handsome young man like Zhao Yingyue in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the sooner the marriage can be implemented. Moreover, the owner of the body must find a home as soon as possible. He is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid that thieves will miss him. Getting married sooner will also make Zhao Chengzong give up sooner.
Xining sighed slightly: "Then let's go out and have a look."
"Okay! I'll just ask someone to make arrangements right now." Zhao Yingyue became happy, turned around and immediately called out: "You still want to eat, I just want to eat when you come here. Are you here to eat, or are you here to see your sister-in-law?"< br>
Zhao Heming had almost eaten a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, but there were still two pieces left on the plate. He was still eating one piece in his hand, and was reaching for the plate with his other hand.
Xi Ning said gently: "Save your stomach, there will be delicious food on the street later, so don't be unable to eat by then."
After Zhao Heming heard this, he reluctantly retracted his outstretched hand, slowly tasted the remaining cake in his hand, and stopped gobbling it up.
General Zhao and his wife knew that they were going out to watch the lanterns, so they prepared a reunion dinner early.
This time for dinner, not only the people from the second room didn't come, but Aunt Xu and Zhao Yingxue didn't come either. The number of people was even smaller than the New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone was in agreement and the atmosphere was still good. When Mrs. Zhao looked at a table full of her children, she felt pure and refreshed.
After eating, everyone went back to the hospital to rest. When the lanterns came on, the three of them left the house and went to the street.
At this time, the street was already crowded with people and pedestrians were walking shoulder to shoulder. There are lights and colorful lights everywhere, and a series of large lanterns and colored lanterns are hung at the door of each shop. There were fireworks and flowers everywhere, and the whole capital was as bright as day.
Along the way, there were many jugglers. Sword swallowing, chest crushing of boulders, vats, magic tricks, fire breathing and other things are naturally indispensable.
There are also many games, including hooping, archery, and pot throwing. Of course, people also guess lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival, and some people even play out chess games. They even surround an open space and create a maze using Qi Men Dun Jia and Five Elements Bagua to make people curious.
Many large merchants hold piano, dance, poetry, calligraphy and painting competitions, which are all valuable prizes.
Cars and horses are definitely impassable. At this time, the common people and nobles are all mixed together, regardless of each other, walking and enjoying together.
The lantern festival will be held all night long until the early hours of the morning.
Zhao Yingyue and Zhao Heming walked very slowly to take care of her. There are more than a dozen guards around, wearing ordinary people's clothes, using their bodies to cover up and try to keep others outside.
Dongmei and Qiuye were on the left and right. Dongmei's eyes hadn't stopped since she came out, looking around curiously.
She suddenly shouted: "Miss, there are lanterns for sale over there, how about we buy one too?"
Qiuye frowned slightly: "Dongmei, keep your voice down, they are all looking at us."
"There are so many people and it's so noisy, so we can't do it without being loud!" Dongmei looked around and raised her head: "That's because my lady is pretty, so they looked over."
Xining was amused: "Okay, okay, I won't use it. If you like it, go buy one."
"I want it too!" Zhao Heming shouted, pointing to the lantern hanging high on the bamboo pole, and shouted cheerfully: "I want that big red horse."
Ever since Zhao Heming got on a horse, he has been obsessed with horses. He must ride a horse one day without anyone holding the reins.
"Return to the big horse, he is still young after all!" Zhao Yingyue laughed and agreed: "Go ahead and buy it, don't get separated from Dongmei, and come back immediately after buying it."
Qiuye hesitated: "Bring me a rabbit lantern."
Zhao Heming asked: "Sister-in-law, do you really not want it? Third uncle, do you want it?"
Zhao Yingyue sneered: "Children only play with lanterns. Go quickly and don't forget to bargain."
"Hey, I get it. With Dongmei here, I'm not afraid of suffering!" Zhao Heming happily followed Dongmei to buy lanterns.
Zhao Mingyue winked: "Follow the two."
Two of the secret guards next to him immediately stepped forward and blocked the flow of people with their arms, allowing Dongmei and Qiuye to pass.
