At this moment, the old man could only feel emotional when he mentioned Queen Chen Zhiwei.
Zhao Yanzhen naturally just listened silently. After all, this was a grudge between his mother and his grandfather. Regardless of hatred or resentment, it was not something he could make his own decisions on behalf of his mother.
Then the old man turned to look at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "If you take the previous path, then just take these and save your mother and son."
"But if you take the latter path, can you try to leave a queen for the Chen family?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded naturally when he heard this, "Grandpa, don't worry, the Chen family and mother are of the same line. If we can protect her a little more, Yanzhen will do his best."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the old man only nodded gratefully towards Zhao Yanzhen.
Then he looked a little tired. After all, he was getting old and his energy had become extremely limited. Now he just spent a little more attention and said a few more words, but he seemed a little unable to do what he wanted.
He closed his eyes only once more.
Looking at his grandfather, he has said everything that needs to be said, and he now has what should be in his hands.
Therefore, Zhao Yanzhen only took the initiative to ask for resignation from his grandfather, and the old man just nodded. He looked very sleepy.
Seeing Zhao Yanzhen stand up, Jiang Nianjiao naturally also resigned, and then she just followed Zhao Yanzhen and left together.
Without thinking, Zhao Yanzhen took the curtain hat she held in her hand, and then tied it on Jiang Nianjiao carefully. Seeing his appearance, Jiang Nianjiao didn't know that he wanted to show their affection in front of their elders. Still want to sprinkle industrial sweetener.
However, the old man did not open his eyes, so Jiang Nianjiao let him go.
But after he tied the curtain hat, he suddenly took Jiang Nianjiao's hand, and then under Jiang Nianjiao's puzzled eyes, he just put the thing that his grandfather had given him just now into her hand.
Although Jiang Nianjiao didn't know which army this thing was from, she also knew very well how valuable it was, so Jiang Nianjiao didn't dare to take it.
"Jiaojiao, can you keep this for me first?"
Jiang Nianjiao was afraid of waking up the old man in the room, so she cursed in her heart, but did not dare to say it out loud. She just said obediently, "Aren't you afraid that I will lose this thing?"
Before Zhao Yanzhen could answer, the old man beside him suddenly said, "Since it is His Highness's wish, please take it. You two are husband and wife and should cooperate with each other."
Jiang Nianjiao's face immediately turned red when she heard the words "husband and wife are one." They hadn't even thought about getting married yet, so what kind of husband and wife could they be?
Thinking of when Zhao Yanzhen introduced himself just now! After saying that, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhao Yanzhen.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzhen was smiling like a cat who had successfully stolen something. "Jiaojiao, since my grandfather has told me, you can help me keep my husband's things."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard that Zhao Yanzhen actually hit the snake with a stick and really took advantage of her words, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but glare at Zhao Yanzhen again.
However, considering that the Grand Sima had spoken, and the purpose of Zhao Yanzhen bringing him here today was probably the same, Jiang Nianjiao figured this out, and Jiang Nianjiao no longer refused to keep the things Zhao Yanzhen entrusted to her.
After Jiang Nianjiao hid the tiger seal and military talisman, Zhao Yanzhen only led Jiang Nianjiao out. The two of them didn't separate their hands until they reached the door.
Outside the door, his uncle, aunt, and the girl who was waiting were all standing in the courtyard. Seeing Zhao Yanzhen coming out, the uncle of the Chen family immediately greeted him warmly.
Zhao Yanzhen only said to the maid, "Grandpa is asleep. Please find a few more people to go in and serve him."
The maid went down naturally after receiving the order.
The uncle of the Chen family couldn't wait to ask, "Your Highness, I wonder what you said to your father today?"
Hearing this question, Zhao Yanzhen looked at the uncle of the Chen family with a half-smile but said, "What does uncle think I can say to my grandfather?"
Of course, the uncle of the Chen family couldn't explain it clearly. He just smiled and said, "Since my father has grown older, his mind has become more and more confused, and he often says some shocking things. I really can't guess it at the moment."
Zhao Yanzhen did not expose the uncle of the Chen family's self-justification. He even kindly answered his uncle's last question. Of course, he only kept half of his words. "Actually, we didn't say anything, we just mentioned it."
My mother, he was worried. "
Uncle Chen's uncle was not surprised when he heard this topic. His father seemed to be hard-hearted, but in fact, he was worried about his sister Chen Zhiwei.
However, although the old man is not as shrewd as before, he is still not easy to fool, and he has always been dissatisfied with his behavior over the years. Now, although he is too lazy to care about his own affairs anymore, the look in his eyes is also... It's like looking at a dead thing, and I feel extremely disappointed. In addition, as I get older, I feel powerless. But the uncle of the Chen family was still wary of his father.
And they had been talking for so long, so it was impossible for them to just talk about their sister.
But if he wanted to pry now, he was afraid of arousing Zhao Yanzhen's resentment. After all, although his nephew always seemed to be careless about everything, the child was very smart.
So when he thought about this aspect, he did not continue to inquire. He only said, "My father is such a personality."
While saying this, he just cut the topic to the point and said, "Speaking of which, His Highness the Third Prince hasn't been to the house for a long time. Why don't we stay here for a simple meal today."
When the uncle of the Chen family said this, he only winked at his wife, and Mrs. Chen also smiled and said, "Yes, it is rare for His Highness to come here, but you must not dislike the simple food in our house."
Fortunately, Zhao Yanzhen was very cooperative. He just smiled lightly and said, "What did my aunt say?"
Then he only agreed to the words of the uncle of the Chen family, "Since it is my uncle's wish, then Yanzhen will be disrespectful."
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen followed the uncle of the Chen family and walked forward.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally followed him subconsciously, but after walking for a while, Jiang Nianjiao still wanted to follow Zhao Yanzhen.
Not wanting to follow, the eldest wife of the Chen family grabbed Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "Miss Qiu Wan, there are banquets for the elders over there, but the banquets for us women are on the other side."
Saying this, Mrs. Chen's wife also led her to the other side.
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only glanced at Zhao Yanzhen for help. Unfortunately, Zhao Yanzhen followed the uncle of the Chen family and went on his own, but he didn't seem to notice her embarrassment at all.
Jiang Nianjiao felt very speechless at the moment. Did she really want to stay here to eat? She couldn't possibly wear a hat while eating, right? But if he didn't wear a curtain hat, they would immediately recognize who he was, and if he was tricked by these ladies again, then he would really have no secrets at all.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look resentfully at the direction Zhao Yanzhen left. Unfortunately, this time, the uncle and nephew were nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Nianjiao, who deeply felt that Zhao Yanzhen was unreliable, could only try to save himself, "I won't eat anymore. I came here at the request of the Queen, and now I have to go back to recover, and the affairs in the palace are also very busy."
"Miss Qiu Wan is really good at joking. No matter how busy she is, she still has to eat. How can the empress be kind enough to blame you for such a thing? Okay, miss, please come with me. The little girls in our family are also here. I’d also like to get some advice from Miss Qiu Wan.”
While speaking, the eldest lady of the Chen family only pulled Jiang Nianjiao towards the women's table and blocked Jiang Nianjiao's refusals one by one.
Seeing that Jiang Nianjiao was at her wits' end, a maid hurried over. When she saw Mrs. Chen's family, the maid hurriedly caught up to her and said, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Hearing that someone was coming from the palace, Mrs. Chen's wife couldn't help but wonder, "Who is coming from the palace? Now let's ask him clearly what his purpose is."
The girl nodded, "I've already asked. The person here is Eunuch Zhu from Fengchen Palace. Eunuch Zhu said that he came to urge Aunt Qiuwan to go back on the orders of the Queen."
The girl's words now only matched Jiang Nianjiao's refusal just now. Jiang Nianjiao naturally followed the girl's words and said to the eldest lady of the Chen family, "Madam, you see what I said is right. The palace is really in a hurry today." Manpower, I really need to return to the palace quickly."
Although Mrs. Chen's wife still wants to retain Jiang Nianjiao, there are people in the palace now urging her to do so. If she tries to trick Jiang Nianjiao, she will never dare to really delay the Queen's business.
Therefore, the eldest lady of the Chen family no longer offered any words to persuade her to stay. She only smiled and said, "Since the Queen's side
I'm so busy that I can't keep any girls around anymore. But the girl can't refuse like this next time she comes over. "
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she naturally just nodded, "That's natural."
The eldest wife of the Chen family seemed a little unwilling to give up, and only said to send Jiang Nianjiao there. However, when she sent Jiang Nianjiao there, she almost always tried to trick Jiang Nianjiao, and what she said to Zhao Yanzhen in the big Sima house was what she said. What.
Jiang Nianjiao was not a fool, how could she tell the news she heard in Da Sima's house, so she just laughed like Zhao Yanzhen, saying that Da Sima asked about the Queen, and then to avoid the Chen family's big brother The madam was too entangled, so she took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't seem to see Miss Yan Rong among the female relatives today."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention Chen Yanrong, Mrs. Chen's attention was diverted. This was probably the thing that made Mrs. Chen most angry right now. However, she still suppressed her anger and said, "Miss Qiuwan, don't be surprised. My daughter is like this." A few days ago, the boy from the Zhang family became angry and couldn't get up from the hospital bed, so he didn't come here."
Jiang Nianjiao then said, "That boy from the Zhang family is really arrogant. Madam must teach that boy a lesson."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Mrs. Chen only thought that the other party really wanted to help her, and she felt a lot of worry in her heart. However, the Queen did not need to take action in the affairs of this family.
