"Look at what you said, how can this be called a disaster?"
Empress Ma raised her eyebrows slantingly, "Our ninth son is so outstanding. How many generations of feudal lords have failed to govern Youzhou since the Great Qian Dynasty? Our ninth son can manage it well. Isn't that not outstanding? What kind of life did the people of Youzhou live before? What kind of life did the people of Youzhou live now? What kind of life do the people of Youzhou live? Isn’t this good?
And those weird things you mentioned, who can come up with them except our old man?
Isn’t that great? "
Hey, you just tricked him into cheating me, so don’t say a word.
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Queen Ma with heartbroken thoughts.
But he still said with a smile on his face: "Ah, yes, yes, Lao Jiu does have a bit of our style."
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Queen Ma squinted her eyes.
Zhao Chongyuan: "..."
"That's because I taught him well. Lao Jiu has grown up beside me. I can tell at a glance that he has been a smart kid since he was a child. When he grows up, he will definitely take care of the fiefdom and let the people live a good life. A good lord."
Queen Ma patted herself, looking proud.
hehe.
Why don't you mention it at all? When Lao Jiu was a child, he almost made Zhang Shiwei and Master Zhang bedridden in anger by memorizing a thousand-character essay?
Zhao Chongyuan rolled his eyes calmly.
All good things come from being taught well.
Is it only me, the father, who is bad?
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Chongyuan cleared his throat and looked at Queen Ma: "Which family's daughter do you want to tell Lao Jiu?"
Queen Ma stepped forward, looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a smile on her face, and refilled the half-drinked tea that Zhao Chongyuan had, and said with a smile, "Chongyuan, what do you think of Ruoyun, the eldest daughter of the Tiande family?"
"ha?"
Zhao Chongyuan was startled, and the tea in his mouth suddenly spurted out. He looked at Queen Ma in disbelief: "How come you are interested in the daughter of the Tiande family?"
The so-called Tiande is Xu Tiande, the Duke of Wei at that time.
He was Zhao Chongyuan's playmate since childhood. He had a close relationship with him and had a life-long friendship. He also had a good relationship with Queen Ma.
But he didn't expect it anyway.
This girl actually had her mind set on Xu Tiande.
"Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. Isn't this the ancient truth?"
Empress Ma disagreed, "Although I haven't seen her for several years, she has been a beauty since she was a child. She is just eighteen this year, and she is a perfect match for our ninth child. Besides, our ninth child is so good, and she also likes Xu Tiande's daughter. Is he, Xu Tiande, blessed with eight lifetimes of cultivation?"
"But Tiande said early on that Ruoyun of his family will not marry, and will be used as a bride-in-law in the future. Do you want Lao Jiu to marry in?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked helpless.
"It's impossible to marry into a wife. There is no woman in this world who is worthy of being married into my family's ninth wife."
Empress Ma shook her head directly, with a proud look on her face, and then glanced at Zhao Chongyuan: "As for how to persuade Tiande, that is your business."
Zhao Chongyuan: "..."
"Do you really want to marry the daughter of the Tiande family to our old Zhao family?"
After a while, Zhao Chongyuan asked tentatively.
"hold head high!"
Empress Ma nodded noncommittally, "Our Zhao family belongs to the royal family of Daqian. If Xu Tiande's daughter marries our Zhao family, does it count as a marriage?"
"That designation does not count."
Zhao Chongyuan shook his head like a rattle.
"If it doesn't count, then why can't he get married?
Besides, I heard people say that many of the descendants of high-ranking officials in the capital are pursuing Ruoyun from the Tiande family. Some good people even rate the daughter of the Tiande family as one of the top three beauties in our society.
Such an iconic girl.
Isn't it just right to match our ninth child? "
Queen Ma raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Chongyuan.
"Hmm~~~~"
Zhao Chongyuan touched the breath on his chin and said seriously: "That's right."
Then he smacked his lips and said, "It's just a good cabbage that is going to be eaten by a pig again."
"Go, how could you say that about your own son?"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes.
He poured another cup of tea for Zhao Chongyuan.
Then he stood behind Zhao Chongyuan with a smile and squeezed Zhao Chongyuan's shoulders.
"But Tiande's temper is really stubborn, and it's probably hard to talk to him then."
Zhao Chongyuan frowned again.
"Then it depends on how you strategize."
Queen Ma raised her eyebrows.
"You go prepare a roast goose,"
Zhao Chongyuan patted Queen Ma's hand and specifically asked: "You cook it yourself. Tiande will like the roast goose you cook."
Then he shouted to Wang Lishi outside Kunning Palace: "Go and prepare a jar of fine wine and jade dew."
"Huh? What is Qiongjiangyulu? Why is the name so exaggerated?"
Queen Ma frowned.
"Hey."
Zhao Chongyuan laughed, stood up and whispered in Empress Ma's ear: "Lao Jiu's good thing, that old man Tiande is addicted to alcohol. With this fine wine that Lao Jiu tinkered with, and you personally The roast goose cooked by the chef will definitely do."
Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows as he spoke.
Then a decree quickly passed through the Daqian palace.
A red eunuch who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies led the order and rushed towards the Yingtian Weiguo Palace.
It didn't take long.
Outside the palace.
A dark purple carriage stopped outside the palace.
Then a middle-aged man with a handsome face wearing purple court clothes hurriedly stepped out of the carriage.
Under the leadership of the eunuch in red who was responsible for delivering the edict, he hurried through the periphery of the palace, trotted all the way, and headed directly towards the Yangxin Hall where Zhao Chongyuan usually lived.
Just walked in the door.
Xu Tiande was stunned by the scene in front of him.
On the long table.
It is filled with delicacies from mountains and seas.
A famous palace maid and eunuch shuttled among them.
There are all kinds of exquisite pastries in his hands.
Placed on a long table.
At the other end of the long table, Zhao Chongyuan took off his dragon robe and sat on a chair in regular clothes.
Watching Xu Tiande walk in.
Then he shouted with a smile: "Come on, Tiande, sit down and eat?"
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Xu Tiande looked confused.
Somewhat confused.
He knew that Zhao Chongyuan had asked the eunuch in red to come to the palace, but he didn't mention a word about what he wanted to do or what he wanted to say.
But once you get here.
Looking at the strong aroma of vegetables wafting all over the house.
Xu Tiande was completely confused.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do with me? I dare not sit down like this."
Xu Tiande smiled sarcastically.
I had a good meal and even changed into regular clothes.
What does this mean?
Take the opportunity to get close to Xu Tianla?
Then talk to him about something?
As Zhao Chongyuan's childhood friend, they have grown up together since childhood.
Xu Tiande knows his Majesty very well.
"Look at you, that's true. Can I only come to you if I have something to do? If I have nothing to do, I can't come to you to get together? How about having a meal together?"
Zhao Chongyuan glared and looked at Xu Tiande pretending to be angry.
"Really eating?"
Xu Tiande was still a little worried and looked at Zhao Chongyuan carefully.
"Then of course it's to eat."
Zhao Chongyuan said noncommittally, then raised his head and glanced at Xu Tiande: "If you don't want to eat, I will."
As he spoke, he groaned and said: "Hey, I still thought about going out incognito this time to bring you some specialties from all over the country, but you just look at me like this? No fun, no fun."
As he said that, Zhao Chongyuan took a bite, and then shouted to Queen Ma behind the curtain: "Ruying, Tiande thinks that we invited him to dinner because we are plotting against him, so don't cook your roasted goose for him.
He has no taste and is not worthy of eating. "
As he spoke, Zhao Chongyuan waved his hands and ate by himself.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tiande quickly sat down and said, "Hey, the queen has cooked the food herself, so I will definitely eat this meal."
Damn Xipi.
What do you mean is that if I invite you to dinner, you won’t eat?
Zhao Chongyuan rolled his eyes.
However, he saw that Xu Tiande had already sat down and looked behind the curtain impatiently.
Zhao Chongyuan smiled proudly.
Hey, I knew you couldn't find the palm of my hand?
No matter how much you eat now, you will vomit it all out later!
