"Thank you, aunt, for the tip."

Although Zhao Cuo couldn't agree with what she said, he was not a ungrateful person, so of course he still politely thanked her.

'Why do you think of me as your beloved?'

After he watched Aunt Feiwu leave, his expression suddenly became lifeless. He leaned against the door wall in relief and looked at the blue sky speechlessly. The sky was so beautiful that it reminded him of the eyes of the Summer Demon Girl. It was a pity that he

Right now I don't have the mood to match the beautiful scenery.

"I'm not afraid that the empress will force my sister to get married. After all, she is a disciple of a saint, but Sister Youxin should have some thoughts of getting married, right?"

Zhao Cuo was drinking the northwest wind and thinking wildly. It was quite outrageous for a girl from Dayu not to get married at the age of twenty. That is to say, her sister, as the only female student of Xunshan Academy, dared to drag her away. His parents had done the same before.

Come on, don’t you blame the Queen Mother for this?

Naturally, the East Palace could not be idle on New Year's Eve. About half an hour later, ladies lined up to come to pay their respects. Zhao Cuo cooperated with the palace maids to do some small tasks.

As Xiang Jing's well-known friend of women, and with the third-grade Passionate Love Gu that raised his appearance to a new level, Young Master Zhao was quietly stuffed with sachets by several pretty widowed ladies.

'I'm not a hero.'

Zhao Cuo argued in his heart.

"But Mr. Zhao is in person?"

A young-looking guard wearing a purple robe and carrying a knife walked up to him.

"You are a late student... I wonder what you would call me?"

Zhao Cuo politely saluted the handsome man in his thirties before him. The purple robe could only be worn by first-rank officials, and the yellow belt around this man's waist also proved his clan status.

"Young Master Zhao, please don't be polite. I am Chu Weilie, the minister of bodyguards in the inner palace. My little girl and your sister are close friends."

The handsome man said warmly.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness, King Han, is in front of you. I am rude to you. It's okay for you to call me."

Zhao Cuo hurriedly saluted again. Except for the seven kings who once rebelled and had hereditary kingships, the others in Dayu had been demoted from generation to generation and had no fiefdoms. The reason why the one in front of him has the title of prince is because he belongs to the late emperor.

Brother.

He was not surprised that King Han was so enthusiastic. The status in the imperial society was not determined by the size of the official position, but the close relationship with the emperor. Although he was only an unworthy third-class executioner, who in the whole Xiang Jing

Don't you know the great favor shown to him by the powerful Queen Mother?

This king was one of the few members of the clan who supported Empress Dowager Zhao, so he could be the head guard of the palace. Otherwise, he would just be an idle prince living in the palace waiting to die.

"Don't be too polite."

King Han still had a smile on his face, walked to his side and stood against the wall, and said casually:

"Why is my young master standing at the gate of the East Palace?"

"My queen is angry and punishing me."

Zhao Cuo said casually.

"That's it..."

King Han just nodded but didn't answer. Just kidding, who dares to criticize a dictatorial female tyrant behind her back?

'etc!'

Zhao Cuo's expression suddenly changed! He remembered that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he and the Queen Mother were walking hand in hand at the lantern festival, they were bumped into by Princess Xinning. This princess was the biological daughter of King Han. Looking at the prince next to him in this way

It's most likely his relationship with the female devil, right?

"I said I wanted to get a wife..."

Young Master Zhao said nonchalantly, wanting to test King Han. The current Queen Mother was the brother-in-law of this prince.

"Your Majesty is about to take advantage of your young master, so she naturally doesn't want you to indulge in the gentle country. This is a well-intentioned act."

King Han sighed without any surprise.

"That should be it."

Zhao Cuo didn't see any problem, but he didn't take it too seriously. So what if the King of Han really knew what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival? If you dare to gossip, you will end up not only looking for people everywhere, but at least you will be picked off by a female devil.

Lose a layer of skin or even be imprisoned until death.

"I still want to inspect the palace, so I won't disturb my young master on his errands. I'll take my leave."

King Han smiled and said hello, then turned and left.

"What's the big deal if you're forced to stand here during the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Cuo continued to stand guard at the entrance of the palace. The ladies had already gone in, but the Queen Mother still had no intention of sending anyone over to let him go.

This station lasted until the sun set in the west, and a group of people left the East Palace and then another group came, all coming to wish the Queen Mother the New Year.

But he never saw his sister come out.

"Wrong."

Zhao Shanxin's somewhat distressed voice suddenly came over.

"Um?"

Young Master Zhao quickly turned his head when he heard the voice, looked at her up and down for a few times and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay."

"Sister, why are you and the Queen Mother talking for so long?"

Zhao Cuo asked as he held his sister's raised white hand.

"Not really."

Zhao Shanxin shook his head gently.

"After talking to me for a few words, the empress asked me to go to the study to copy the classics, and allowed me to copy some unique copies of the Confucian predecessors and take them away."

As she spoke, she waved the book bag in her hand at Zhao Cuo with a smile on her face.

‘Isn’t this punishing you by copying books for a day without any reason?’

Young Master Zhao didn't know whether this was considered as the Empress Dowager making things difficult for his sister.

"Didn't your Majesty tell you anything important?"

He still remembered the marriage proposal in his heart.

"What?"

Zhao Shanxin looked at his brother with some confusion.

"Master." Fei Wu, who had followed out at this time, stepped forward and said softly, "I'll let you in."

"That's right, go quickly."

Miss Zhao squeezed her brother's hand and said softly.

"Don't make me angry anymore. The banquet at Tongxin Lake is about to start. I have to go there first. Come and find me when you have a chance."

"I see."

Zhao Cuo nodded and then followed Fei Wu towards the bad woman's dormitory again.

"Come in."

He walked to the screen and heard the slightly cold voice of Queen Mother Zhao before he even saluted.

'Why are you still angry?'

Young Master Zhao walked in with a bit of a headache. The aroma of delicacies from the mountains and seas suddenly flooded into his nostrils. His stomach began to growl because he had not eaten lunch or dinner. The Queen Mother sat on the main seat and moved her chopsticks gracefully without even looking at him.

.

However, there are two sets of bowls and chopsticks with obvious meaning on the dining table.

Looking at the several bitten meat dishes in another bowl on the table, he knew it was for him.

'I have been sentenced to a prison sentence without a wife for no reason, and you are still showing off to me here. If I don't marry a wife, are you still going to marry me?'

Zhao Cuo was also a little angry. There was no way Queen Mother Dayu would marry into the Zhao family anyway, so he would have to be single for the rest of his life. He was angry because he couldn't live with his stomach. He was aggrieved, but he still sat down and started eating.

"Show off."

The dinner ended in silence. At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Zhao Cuo followed the Queen Mother towards the brightly lit and noisy Gonghu Lake.
