Chapter 89 The Zhao Family

Author: Raising cats every year

Shu Yao wore a long lotus powder dress today and a long pear coat on her back. She always liked bright and ostentatious colors, but because the prince's wedding, she was much more restrained and accompanied the women to the table.

Even so, it is difficult to keep a low profile. Once seated, many noble girls came forward to chat with Shu Yao, which was difficult for people not to pay attention.

Emperor Yong suppressed the Hou of Qin Yang, but repeatedly rewarded Shu Yao, which shows his preference for Shu Yao. Attention to Princess Huaxi is to respect Emperor Yong. The powerful and powerful families naturally understand such simple principles. Therefore, even if the relationship between the aristocratic families and Emperor Yong is a bit stiff, they will not lose their etiquette on such an important occasion.

Zheng Yueyao's grandfather, Zheng Lian, was also dressed in a festive red robe, ranked first among officials, and accepted the celebration.

Originally, Xie Guo Lao Xie Hong sat in this position at the palace banquet. Now the Xie family cannot marry the princess, but the Zheng family has a crown princess, and this position is Zheng Lian.

Zheng Lian toasted with the powerful ministers of aristocratic families one by one, his face flushed. He had always been disliked and felt a little more joy on his face.

After the destruction of the previous dynasty, the Li and Wang families declined, and Yong Taizu founded the country. In order to appease these old families, Dingwei, Xie, Cui, Lu, and Zheng were the new "five surnames and seven hopes". Although the status of the nobles has not changed, the internal status has changed greatly. The Zheng family changed its past glory and fell to the end of the five surnames, and suffered a lot of cold treatment.

During the reign of Emperor Yong, the princes married Xie, and the girls from the Cui family, even the most unpopular fifth prince, were taken first by the Dou family, and the Zheng family was always ashamed of.

Fortunately, the queen Dou Yunzhi was tactful enough. She remembered the favors of the Zheng family to the Dou family and decided on the marriage between Zheng Yueyao and the prince early. The Zheng family was proud and became the father-in-law.

The fifth prince Wei Pei ascended the throne to the emperor, which was a concession that the powerful and powerful families had to make after the battle for the throne. Although they had no choice but to do so, they could not deny that ascending the throne by another person might not bring about a stable situation in Da Yong for nearly twenty years.

Looking at Shu Yao in the crowd, Zheng Lian narrowed his eyes lightly and showed deep thoughts.

Emperor Yong was an emperor who knew the current affairs. Over the past few years, he had gotten along well with these aristocratic families. If he was willing to give in to Shu Yao's affairs, he would not have conflicts with them and other old ministers again and again.

Emperor Yong should know that this throne was brought to him by the aristocratic family. For the sake of a niece, he had many conflicts with the aristocratic family, but he was putting the cart before the horse and was extremely confused.

On the other side, a man in a royal blue dress raised his wine glass, curled his lips and toasted the Marquis of Qin Yang, "Mr. Marquis, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The Marquis of Qin Yang raised his glass and sighed: "My nephew, I have already known about your father's illness. Have you not found a cure for it?"

"No. Life is impermanent, the road always needs to move forward, and my father has taken it lightly, so I don't have to worry about asking the marquis. Today is the day for the prince to be happy, so I won't say these words."

The man drank the wine in the glass and his eyes fell on the girl surrounded in the distance, with a smile overflowing from his lips, "A few years after separation, has the princess sister grown up so old?"

Qin Yanghou smiled, "Yes."

The man said inadvertently: "I heard before that the princess sister has a fiancé, and now the marriage is settled?"

Qin Yanghou's eyes were a little complicated, "That's not a fiancé, this matter is a long story... In short, the emperor has no intention of this, so please don't ask."

The man nodded and said ok, but his eyes were filled with deep meaning.

After Shu Yao finished greetings with the noble girl, she rubbed the corners of her mouth that was stiff with laughter. It is said that the Ministry of Rites started preparing for this wedding two months ago, and getting married was really tiring.

Li Mingji was on duty outside the hall, but she couldn't find him. Alas, I really want the wedding to end soon, so she can go home early to rest.

Princess Jiayi didn't know what she saw, her expression became ugly, and she whispered: "Why did that guy Zhao Wenrui come to the banquet too?"

Shu Yao didn't remember when she met this person, but Song Needle reminded him: "The princess is the prince of Changping. Before the New Year, the Marquis of Changping suffered a strange disease and could not get out of bed. He hired many famous doctors but could not cure it. The prince came to the capital for him this time to pay a visit."

Changping Hou, Zhao Family.

Shu Yao finally remembered it.

Princess Yongning and Emperor Yong's biological mother named Zhao were sent to the harem because of her youth and beauty. She was once favored by the late emperor. After giving birth to Princess Yongning, she was named Concubine Zhao.

However, the late emperor had abundant harems and countless young and beautiful concubines, so they became tired of Concubine Zhao within two years. It is said that when Concubine Zhao was born in Emperor Yong, the late emperor did not visit him at all, and asked the eunuchs to sketch the word "Pe" as the prince's name according to the five elements of the prince's name. Concubine Zhao was greatly injured and died of depression not long after.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong ascended the throne and posthumously named Concubine Zhao as the Empress Dowager Yanqing, the Zhao family became Emperor Yong's mother clan and was named Marquis of Changping. This prince was the eldest son of Marquis of Changping and was of the same generation as Shu Yao, so she should also call her cousin.

"Why did you have a holiday with him?"

"What does 'or' mean?" Princess Jiayi said dissatisfiedly, "I think his eyes are not clean and uncomfortable when looking at people. Shu Yao, he is looking at you again, let's stay away from him."

After Princess Jiayi said for a while, Zhao Wenrui raised her wine glass and smiled at Shu Yao with her lips, "Princess sister, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The fief of Changping Hou was adjacent to the fief of Qinyang Hou and the mansion was close to each other. When Shu Yao was a child, the two families often walked around. However, later the family of Changping Hou returned to the fief, while the marquis of Qinyang Hou stayed in the capital, and it was difficult to meet each other during festivals.

Shu Yao clinked glasses with Zhao Wenrui without any pain: "Cousin Zhao."

"Sister still remembers me?" Zhao Wenrui looked surprised and looked happy in his eyes. "After many years of separation, my sister has grown a lot taller and beautiful."

"The wedding party is coming," Princess Jiayi stopped in front of Shu Yao, avoiding Zhao Wenrui's gaze, "Yaoyao, let's go?"

Shu Yao didn't like Zhao Wenrui's ambiguous attitude, so she put a glass that she had not drunk on the table, "Cousin Zhao, I'm not with you."

After she left, Zhao Wenrui picked up the cup she had touched, felt the faint fragrance left by the girl, and his eyes gradually became greedy.

The Zhao family was originally a local tyrant, and they thought there were too many rules in the capital and returned to their fiefdom. Although Zhao Wenrui was unmarried, there were many concubines in the backyard. He was not afraid of meat and vegetables. In addition to beauties, he also raised many young prostitutes.

Princess Huaxi was born with jade and jade when she was young. Now her facial features are growing, and she is even more rare in beauty. Unfortunately, she was arrogant when she was a child. No one could stand her temper except Xie Yanzhou, and Zhao Wenrui was unwilling to provoke her.

Who knew that the marriage was not done.

Zhao Wenrui didn't expect that he would gain such a reward this time, and he felt even more and more happy.

He stroked the edge of the wine glass, looking for the mouth fat left by the girl, but his wrists numb. He accidentally fell to the ground and the wine spilled all over.

Zhao Wenrui lowered his curse and asked the palace servant to take him to change his clothes.

Not far away, Li Mingji's eyes were dim.
