Chapter 138 (1/2)
Ning Wangfu.
There was a screen around the garden pavilion to block the wind.
Inside the screen, there is the sound of the piano.
The sound of the piano is melodious with a bit of laziness.
The maidservant and the Chamberlain were waiting on the side, and did not dare to approach.
Liu Zhao played the piano alone, relaxed.
The wind and rain outside can not affect his mood of playing the piano.
The sound of the piano gradually becomes intense, which reveals the ambition of the people who play it.
When Zhao sanchao, the guard, came to the pavilion, he could not help but lighten his steps when he heard the sound of the piano.
Instead of disturbing Liu Zhao, he waited outside the pavilion for an interview.
”Is Zhao San here?” Liu Zhao's cold voice came from the screen. With the sound of the piano, in winter, it seems like ice, which makes people shiver subconsciously.
Guard Zhao three bows the body to answer a way: ”subordinate is in.”
”Come in.”
”Yes.”
Zhao San raised his steps, stepped up the steps, removed the screen and walked into the pavilion.
The pavilion is as warm as spring.
Zhao San looked down and saw the brazier in the corner.
Liu Zhao continued to play the piano, the tone was low, as if for whom.
Liu Zhao mixed several pieces of music together and played them for nearly half an hour before stopping.
As soon as the music stopped, the maid came in from the screen, carrying hot water to wipe Liu Zhao's fingers.
Every finger should be wiped carefully. After wiping, massage and relax.
After enjoying a while, Liu Zhao waved her hand and the maids quietly withdrew from the pavilion.
He picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and asked, ”what's up?”
Zhao San bowed and said, ”Qingping Racecourse has sent another batch of horses to Beijing.”
”That's it?”
Liu Zhao raised her eyelids and looked indifferent.
Zhao San quickly said: ”things are really developing according to the plan of the young master. Mr. Gu was sent to prison last night. This morning, the Duke of Pingnan went into the palace to face the saint and wanted to intercede for him. But his majesty did not give Pingnan Hou a chance. The Pingnan Marquis should have asked Li Shizhong for a talk
Liu Zhao was expressionless and kept silent.
Zhao San thought about it carefully and said, ”master Gu is the father of Gu Er girl. If Mr. Gu fails this time, Miss Gu will have a bad future. She will not be able to marry any good family at that time
”Are you worried about her?”
Liu Zhao asked coldly.
”After all, she saved the childe,” Zhao said
Liu Zhao's mouth slightly Yang, ”you said right, she saved this childe after all.”
Lin Shuping, an internal servant, walked into the pavilion and bowed down to salute, ”I'd like to report to you, sir. The princess is welcome.”
Liu Zhaomei moved her eyebrows and asked calmly, ”why does the imperial concubine want to see this young master?”
”I don't know.” After a pause, Lin Shuping guessed: ”or for the childe's marriage.”
Liu Zhao seldom frowned.
Concerning Liu Zhao's marriage, Zhao San did not dare to speak.
Liu Zhao was silent for a moment and said to Zhao San, ”go to the study and wait. I will go to see my mother first. ”
”Yes, I do.”
Liu Zhao got up, and the maids went into the pavilion silently and put on his cloak to ensure that he would not be attacked by the cold wind.
Liu Zhao went to Chunhe hall where Princess Ning lived.
Enter the main room, see Ning Princess Pei's is chatting with two side concubines, several beautiful people chatting and laughing.
Several of Liu Zhao's younger sisters also accompany Princess Ning for fun.
He walked forward without expression and bowed to him, ”my son sees his mother's concubine and greets her. How is your mother's health these days
Princess Ning originally had a smiling face. From the moment she saw Liu Zhao, her smile gradually converged and her eyes became serious.
She looked at Liu Zhao indifferently, ”come on, sit down. Now that you are old, it's not easy to see you. ”
Liu Zhao sat down at the head of Pei, Princess of Ning, without expression.
Side imperial concubine and beautiful people, rise one after another, ”empress and eldest childe have something to talk about, we will leave first.”
Liu Zhao's sisters also followed.
Ning Princess Pei's hand waved, ”you are busy to go.”
Because of everyone's farewell, most of the room was empty in an instant.
The maid brought a cup of health tea and put it in the hands of Princess Pei of Ning.
Princess of Ning took a sip of health tea, but she didn't speak.
Liu Zhao was patient and did not speak.
After drinking tea, Princess of Ning Pei frowned at Liu Zhao's silence.
”Don't you talk to the princess?”
Liu Zhao slightly bowed, ”the mother imperial concubine calls her son to come over, isn't there something to tell you? Son, listen to me
Princess Ning Pei frowned and was obviously dissatisfied. She pressed down her anger and said calmly, ”you're old enough to get married. Your brother has already begun to make a match. When are you going to delay it? ”Liu Zhaomei's eyes picked up and laughed, ”my mother is worried about me. When the time comes, the son's marriage will be settled. Don't worry
”You are my son, how can you not worry. I think Peiyun's girl is very good. She has been thinking about you since she was a child. You are just a couple. ”
Liu Zhao picks eyebrow, ”this is the meaning of mother concubine, or father king.”
Princess Ning Pei suppressed her anger, ”is there a difference?”
Liu Zhao slightly bowed himself and said directly, ”Peiyun is not suitable.”
Lu Hou himself had a heavy army and a high position. It is the so-called tree attracts the wind, and marrying Pei Yun is bound to attract the attention of people from all walks of life.
Liu Zhao needs to keep a low profile and reduce the sense of existence as much as possible. It is more suitable for his present status to marry a wife who is not very impressive.
Ning Princess Pei's dissatisfaction, ”Peiyun where can't match you. Or are you dissatisfied with this princess, so you don't want to marry Pei's daughter? ”
”My mother and concubine misunderstood me. My son absolutely didn't mean to look down on Pei's daughter. It's just because Peiyun is not suitable for his son. It doesn't mean anything else
Liu Zhao's tone was cold and he said in a calm voice.
Princess Ning Pei snorted coldly, ”don't care how many reasons you have. Your marriage must be solved within one year. Don't forget, you are already twenty, and you have three or five children of your age. That is to say, you have been procrastinating on not getting married
Liu Zhao was not moved, but he said, ”I know what the mother and concubine mean. Your son will settle the marriage as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about it.”
”You, you are a fool. Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, what does it mean that the princess does not need to worry about. Princess Ben, the bigger you are, the worse you are. ”
Princess Ning Pei was so angry that her heart ached.
Liu Zhao laughed, ”mother concubine, don't forget that the son is a clan. The young master will worry about his son's marriage. When the first month comes into the palace, my son will meet with the magistrate and ask if he has a suitable girl. When the time comes for the son to choose one directly, can the mother and concubine be satisfied? ”
”At the end of the day, you just don't want to marry a girl from the Pei family.”
Liu Zhao did not deny, ”yes, my son can't marry Pei family girl. If the mother and concubine want to be in laws with the Pei family, she might as well ask her father and Marquis Lu's meaning first. The two of them are afraid that they have not made any plans for their own family. ”
Princess Ning Pei frowned. ”What's wrong with Pei's family, so much so that you all dislike it?”
Liu Zhao chuckled, ”my mother misunderstood me. It's not that the Pei family is bad, but that the Pei family is too good. It's too good for my son to marry. ”
Princess Ning's face suddenly changed, her lips opened and closed. At last, there was only a sigh, ”you conduct oneself well. The marriage should be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, when your majesty thinks about it, he will direct you to the marriage, and you will not be allowed to go back on your regret. ”
”Thank you for reminding me that my son knows the weight. If the mother and concubine have nothing else to do, my son will leave. ”
Pei, Princess Ning, waved, ”go, go. Now Princess Ben wants to see you, but she has to find a chance. ”
Liu Zhao bowed down and left Chunhe hall.
He went straight back to his study, where Zhao was waiting.
”Childe
Liu Zhao waved his hand, indicating that Zhao San didn't have to speak.
He stood by the window and looked at the withered branches outside the window. After a long time, he asked, ”Mr. Gu has been sent to prison?”
”Exactly.”
Liu Zhao scorned a smile, ”empress now is more and more not fastidious.”
Zhao San echoed: ”after all, the Queen's wife is running out of time. She has to hurry up and remove all obstacles for her royal highness.”
”It's a pity that she's in vain. The prince's Royal Highness can't help up the wall with mud. All the officials in the East Palace are selfish and selfish
Liu Zhao was not polite and criticized the east palace for nothing.
Zhao San asked carefully, ”what are you going to do?”
Liu Zhao whispered a smile, ”that Gu Er girl must be very anxious.”
”I don't know.”
Liu Zhao made a decision at once, ”send her a letter, and my son will offer her an interview.”
Eh?
