Miss Fan ran back to the Fan family, covering both sides of her face with her hands, preventing passers-by from seeing the tears on her face.

When she entered the yard, she ignored the maids' surprise and worry-free questions, and went straight into the room, trembling hands, and picked up the bronze mirror.

In the bronze mirror, her face had long lost the beauty of her youth. Because of her waste of time at her husband's house over the years and her worries about being sold by her husband's wife a while ago, Miss Fan has not been sleeping well for more than a month. At this moment, two big black eyes bags and fine lines at the corners of her eyes cannot be covered even by the unclear bronze mirror.

Zhao Shuqing, whom he just saw, was still as weak as a young man, with a tall and handsome appearance, and time left no trace on him.

No wonder, he called her aunt.

If she had not broken off the engagement by herself, but had married into the Zhao family smoothly, then now she would be the wife of Shangshu, and the wife of such a handsome man.

But where did she come from? Now she is just a concubine who has lost her husband.

——Bang!

The bronze mirror fell to the ground and made a muffled cracking sound. Miss Fan knelt on the ground weakly and burst into tears.

I don’t know if I regretted my vainness or regretted being attracted to the dead husband in order to enter the palace.

****

The news of Miss Fan's return did not show any waves in Beijing. Even Zhao Shuqing, who had a relationship with her, didn't know that the aunt who was suspected of being a fiancée was his former fiancée.

After she was silently arranged by Mrs. Fan to marry a scholar who failed the exam repeatedly, there was no news about her in the Beijing Central Committee.

The court quickly fell into more busyness, and even the people in the capital were extremely happy every day.

Although most of the time it was because the department store had a banner: [Your Majesty’s wedding, all products will be 20% off], no matter what, the atmosphere in Beijing is good.

The wedding of Your Majesty and Miss Zhao’s family is held as scheduled.

This engagement, which was set by the woman when she was ten years old, was indeed as most people imagined and was extremely grand.

On that day, Zhao Shujiu was put on a red veil. Her mother stood aside, and she was reluctant to give in with a little crying voice, telling her not to be afraid.

Zhao Shujiu thought that she was not afraid. Although she and His Majesty were very different from each other, they had always been good at getting along. The two of them had the same interests and were both flowers-loving people. They had been with her for so many years, so how could they be afraid?

She was wearing a wedding dress and sat in a sedan chair and was carried all the way to the palace.

Until she sat in the room, the veil was lifted up bit by bit, Zhao Shujiu raised her eyes slightly, and in front of her, the handsome face of the man also smiled after seeing her movements.

"Jiuer, in the future, I will be your husband."

***

After marrying her sister, Zhao Shuqing felt very disappointed. She didn't know if she was thinking of her sister or was a little sad that the uncontrollable emperor would not come to their mansion to make trouble with Jiuer in the future.

He was on vacation this day and had originally brought the book, thinking of sitting on the swing to finish reading this book that he had not had time to pick up for more than a month, but as soon as he picked it up, his mind was disturbed and he couldn't read it at all.

I don’t know if Jiuer gets along well with the emperor in the palace.

He sighed, and finally put down the book in his hand and went to water his flowers.

It was watering, but my head was suddenly patted.

Zhao Shuqing frowned and turned around, facing the handsome emperor with a smile.

"Shuqing, I and Jiuer have just gotten married and plan to go to Jiangnan for a tour. I will leave the court to you and your father-in-law."

***

His Majesty went to Jiangnan to inspect and handed over the full power of the court affairs to himself. This should be the most worthy of showing off and proud of Prime Minister Zhao, who has become his grandfather.

If His Majesty had not trusted him, could he receive such glory?

What's more, now that Your Majesty is getting married, there is only Jiuer in the palace. Although he, as a court official, has the obligation to advise Your Majesty to open up the harem and have more children, Jiuer is his own daughter and has grown up with love since childhood. Second, naturally, His Majesty has become more and more experienced in the past six years. If a minister dares to advise him, he can really do something that will not be left behind.

Although no one believes that Your Majesty can really not be the position of the Nine Five Lord, if it is spread, wouldn’t it be that they would force Your Majesty to abdicate?

Under such a situation, the court now basically says whatever His Majesty says.

If it were on weekdays, Prime Minister Zhao would have to worry about whether this would cause some bad consequences, but he would not have to worry about His Majesty. His Majesty was a little lazy and would not interfere in the court unless they made him unhappy.

The wise ruler in Prime Minister Zhao's mind was either diligent and self-reliant or loyal and distant ministers. But now, he actually thinks that His Majesty is good in this way.

At least, Liu Guo is getting richer and stronger day by day.

Waiting to show off with several old friends, Prime Minister Zhao happily returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with his hands behind his back. His eldest son had just returned to the capital some time ago and also brought back his three-year-old grandson. Prime Minister Zhao now loves this grandson very much and is not as strict as he is to his sons at all.

He was so happy that his family would be happy every day, but the only one who was unhappy was Zhao Shuqing.

The old man was not satisfied with his grandson. While holding his grandson, he turned his attention to Zhao Shuqing, an "older young man" who had not yet been married. Seeing the sigh in the sky, if Zhao Shuqing had not stopped him, he would have taken Mrs. Zhao to choose a noble daughter for him, and get married and have children in one step.

It is precisely because Zhao Shuqing has always insisted on not accepting blind marriages that he has descended from a "baby son" to a "disobedient son" in his father's mind.

Both sides were very upset about this.

***

The reason why Zhao Shuqing didn't want to get married is very simple, because he always felt that he was a modern person, which was different from these ancient people.

What's more, he was only in his twenties. In modern times, he was thirty and had not gotten married yet, so he was even less anxious when he was in his twenties.

The most important thing is that Zhao Shuqing always felt a little disgusted. Most of the noble girls in Beijing married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and few of them were over twenty and had not yet married. His parents would not allow him to marry a woman who had been married.

Zhao Shuqing lived in his early thirties in modern times and in ancient times for more than 20 years. Together, in his mind, he was already a person in his fifties.

Although he respects the elderly and loves the young on the outside, deep down, Zhao Shuqing feels that he is the oldest one. Didn’t he see his own father being a grandfather in his fifties?

Zhao Shuqing felt uncomfortable even if he was a girl who could be someone else's grandfather and married someone else's teenager.

He was unwilling to get married. Prime Minister Zhao was anxious at first, but later Mrs. Zhao pulled her husband to analyze and finally came to the conclusion that "it was the lady of Fan that brought shadows to her son." The two of them were angry and depressed, but they didn't dare to reveal it to their son. They could only coax them so carefully and never mention anything about marriage.

It was like this, until Zhao Shuqing was thirty years old in ancient times, that he suddenly announced that he would resign and retire to the mountains and forests.

The point is that he is about to resign, but he still has not gotten married.

Zhao Shuqing, who had been 60 years old in two lives, suddenly realized it.

He is a non-married person.

***

The news that Zhao Shuqing, who had enriched the treasury of Liu State, was so shocking.

I was shocked to visit outside the pass this year. No, I went to inspect the emperors and empresses who were conquered by the Huns and rushed back.

The two of them persuaded each other, but they did not persuade Zhao Shuqing, who was determined to be a 60-year-old hermit. In the end, they had to let him go.

The mountains and forests chosen by Zhao Shuqing are not far away from the capital, nor are they close. Anyway, it is just the right distance. The first thing he did when he arrived at his destination was to plant mosquito repellent trees nearby.

After that, I began to build a modern equipment house that I had been thinking about for several years.

Zhao Shuqing's Shangshu for more than ten years was not in vain. He prepared a small box with the drawings alone. In addition, although he resigned from his post, he was not short of money. The craftsmen worked hard and took half a year to build the house in Zhao Shuqing's dream.

He was very satisfied and moved in.

From then on, he became a sixty-year-old hermit.

The emperor who brought the queen and the little prince to visit curiously lay on the so-called bartender and asked Zhao Shuqing who was bartending, "Don't you want to be the prince?"

Zhao Shuqing raised his head silently and looked at Wei Mingyan calmly, "Your Majesty, since the establishment of our dynasty, there has been no king of different surnames."

The emperor holding the little prince laughed, "When did you know, I plan to fool you for a while."

Haha, do you think his Shangshu who has been in vain for so many years?

When the emperor held the queen with one hand and the prince with the other, Zhao Shuqing reacted later.

He seemed to have never told the emperor that he wanted to be a prince, right?

Could it be that I said I didn’t remember it?

Just as he was thinking, the wine he had made was ready, and the former Shangshu, who was still young and handsome, raised his glass and took a sip. It tasted mellow and good.

After drinking this cup, Zhao Shuqing went to mix other wines with great enthusiasm.

He thought that in such a fresh and natural environment without haze and radiation, he might be able to live to be two hundred years old or something.

***

In modern times, a person will always be bombarded if he doesn't get married. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, not getting married is a serious crime of life and death. Even if his parents forgive you, neighbors will not forgive you.

But in ancient times, Zhao Shuqing's unmarried career was quite smooth.

It may have something to do with his new inventions that benefit the country and the people from time to time.

It seemed as if everyone had agreed that Zhao Shuqing did not get married because of the country and the country. No one laughed at him, but was full of admiration and praise.

Mrs. Zhao was still thinking that her son would not be inherited by her. His elder brother and younger brother were willing to adopt her son to Zhao Shuqing, but they were both rejected by Zhao Shuqing.

He is old and cannot withstand the troubles of children.

Anyway, according to his current contribution, modern society has no concern about the absence of anyone to support his elderly care. As a former Shangshu who has made great progress to the country, even if he became a hermit, there were still no less than thirty protectors hidden around him. It is no exaggeration to say that even if he ate oranges, the oranges would have been washed at least ten times before being brought up by his servants.

Unlike his otaku brother-in-law who squatted in the forest and nourished a mountain flower, Wei Mingyan is an emperor who likes to run around very much. And just so happens that the queen he married also likes the mountains, rivers and rivers outside.

Wei Mingyan succeeded to the throne at the age of ten and lived to be in his nineties for more than 90 years. In the past ninety years, less than half of them were spent in the imperial city, and the remaining half were wandering around with his queen.

Logically speaking, their behavior is a waste of money and money, but this Majesty is different from the charming goods outside. When he leaves Kyoto, he uses his own private treasury for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never uses the money in the treasury. If this is the case, what else can others say?

Everyone in the world knows that the person sitting on the dragon throne has the most money, such as glass plaques, department stores, and pigeon stations. The one who makes a lot of money is still a small head. The most important thing is the merchant ship sent by Wei Mingyan after the sea ban was abolished.

After the sea ban was lifted, the merchants or officials who knew that the profitable were eager to send out many merchant ships, but they were all thinking about the goods from the foreign countries, but Wei Mingyan was focusing on the ships.
