In Kunning Palace, Yang Yi looked ugly and entered the hall alone.
"What's wrong with you? Who offended you?"
Yang Guizhi, who was eating grapes, glanced at his niece and asked slowly.
"Aunt, Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, his concubine Zhou gave birth to a boy. The officials were very happy and issued an edict to the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, the country, and the palace. Aunt, do you know?"
Yang Yi sat down and asked quietly.
That day, she and Zhao Hong entered the palace together. Zhao Hong talked with Zhao Kuo, and the entire palace was filled with joy.
"What do I mean? I know it. It's a boy."
Yang Guizhi remained calm and continued to taste the fruit with relish.
It is not surprising that Zhao Hong's concubine gave birth to a boy and was brought to the palace to be honored as a saint.
The child was chubby and looked happy, but with the precedent of most of the Zhao and Song royal family's children dying young, who knew how long the baby could live?
"The whole world celebrates the royal family having a queen!"
Yang Yi's eyebrows could not help but feel a little melancholy.
She went to Duke Ji's Mansion with Wei Jinyu, Zhen Zhidao and others, and just caught up with Zhou's delivery. Thinking of the lively scene at that time, she felt a little unhappy.
"It's a pity that it wasn't born to Wu."
Yang Guizhi whispered, making Yang Yi slightly stunned.
It seems that my aunt likes Mrs. Wu very much, much more than Zhou Xiuniang.
Even more than my niece.
She couldn't help but think of the rumors in the market, saying that her aunt, uncle and father met each other later and relied on each other. They were not biological brothers and sisters. She didn't know if it was true?
Zhou Xiuniang has a gentle and considerate personality, and treats her well. She is also the godmother of the emperor's grandson, and it seems that they have an irreversible relationship.
But she was always a little disappointed.
Although she knew she shouldn't be jealous, she just couldn't stand Zhao Hong being with another woman.
Especially the daughter of a merchant!
"We have been together for more than three years, haven't we still not given birth?"
Yang Yi retorted in a low voice, defending Zhou Xiuniang.
"How do you know they never gave birth?"
Yang Guizhi looked at her niece, frowned slightly, and emphasized her tone.
"Yi'er, it seems that you and Zhao Hong are getting along well. You should check yourself. You are a widow. Don't go to Jiguo's palace often. You will be easily misunderstood and misunderstood by others."
"I just admire his talent. Every poem he wrote is a masterpiece. I have no other meaning."
Yang Yi's face turned red and she whispered.
Her little thoughts seemed to have nowhere to hide from her shrewd aunt.
Did she fall in love with Zhao Hong?
"Yi'er, you are from the Yang family. Don't think your aunt's words are harsh. You are too strong-tempered, jealous, and spend too much. You are used to pampering in the Yang family. The Yang family can tolerate you, and people outside can tolerate you, but Zhao Hong has a bad temper. Apart from other things, are there too many women around him?"
Yang Guizhi's words made Yang Yi fall into deep thought and didn't speak for a long time.
She was used to living and drinking, and her family's savings were almost squandered. This was part of the reason why she had to seek refuge with Yang Guizhi in La'an City.
Zhao Hong is young and handsome, has an unlimited future, is not annoying, and comes from a wealthy family. He seems to be interested in her, and she seems to have no reason to reject him.
After weighing the current situation, pros and cons, and looking at the men he was pursuing, Zhao Hong seemed to be the most ideal husband candidate.
Even a businessman's daughter like Zhou Xiuniang could get married in the Jiguo Duke's mansion. Zhao Hong seemed to have no reason to reject him because he was from a well-known family, beautiful and talented?
Why did my aunt keep saying no?
"Yi'er, although my aunt's words are a bit unpleasant, I really mean it for you. You and Zhao Hong have too strong personalities, and you are much older than him, so you are not suitable. Besides, you also know the relationship between aunt and Zhao Hong. .”
After Yang Guizhi finished speaking, he started eating grapes again.
"Aunt, it sounds like you don't like Zhao Hong very much. Are you too harsh on him?"
The aunt's attitude towards Zhao Hong was full of disdain and hostility. She was really curious, how could her aunt be so stubborn at her age?
If Zhao Hong and his wife don't get along, what does it have to do with her?
"Zhao Hong has some talents, but he has evil intentions and is too scheming. He still wants to take charge of the Imperial City Division. I really underestimated him!"
Yang Guizhi stopped eating fruit and cleaned her hands before continuing to speak expressionlessly.
"He drove away both the Wu family and Xu Ji, and gave birth to the emperor's grandson without anyone noticing. He did everything quietly. I really didn't expect that he still had these methods."
"Promoting the Imperial City Secretary? Is it your aunt who stirred up the matter?"
Yang Yi looked at her aunt in surprise, her eyes gradually becoming disappointed.
"Auntie, you, how could you do such a thing?"
Since her aunt was so strong and domineering, her prestige in her mind had dropped a lot.
Zhao Hong was promoted to the Imperial City Division and was one step closer to the position of crown prince. Isn't it a villain's behavior for my aunt to do this? Where does this place the official family of the court? Isn't Zhao Hong even more disappointed?
"What's wrong with me? I just want him to know that things in this world are not what he wants to do! Divorce the Wu family, Zhao Hong is so brave!"
The disappointment in her niece's eyes made Yang Guizhi angry, and her voice rose unknowingly.
Even his own niece spoke for Zhao Hong and turned her elbows outward. Is there any justice in this world?
"Ms. Wu is back, and they are separated. Xu Ji is a vixen, so it's better to get rid of her. My concubine has been kept in the home of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and someone will take care of her. It's not a big deal."
Yang Yi unconsciously raised his voice much louder and cried out for Zhao Hong.
When people protect their wives and children, Wu and Meiji are not good people. Is this called scheming?
"What do you have in your head?"
Yang Guizhi looked at her uneducated niece and was secretly angry.
Wu is her grandniece. She has watched her grow up. It was she who planned to marry Zhao Hong, but she ended up having to return the money. She lost all her face in front of the world.
Who gave him Zhao Hong the courage to divorce the Wu family in private?
Did he ask for her permission? Isn't this a slap in the face?
"It doesn't matter what I have in my head. I can't do such a thing."
Yang Yi said it lightly.
"You...you didn't hear anything. Get out of there!"
Yang Guizhi's eyes flashed coldly, his eyebrows stood upright, and he waved his hands gently. The eunuch and the maid obeyed and retreated.
In front of these slaves, her niece's words made her unable to stand down, and she was simply furious.
"Do you know why I don't like Zhao Hong?"
Seeing no one around, Yang Guizhi spoke.
She lost face in front of her niece, and she had to get it back no matter what.
"Why? Isn't it that you don't like him?"
Yang Yi looked at the livid Yang Guizhi in confusion, obviously not understanding why her aunt did this.
"There are rumors outside that Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Shi. This matter has caused a stir, and even the officials are aware of it. The tabloids say that a traitor is at work and will not allow Zhao Hong to become the prince. Who do you think is behind this? cause trouble?"
Without outsiders present, Yang Guizhi said it without any politeness.
Yang Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"Aunt, you mean...it's Zhao Hong who is causing trouble behind the scenes?"
Yang Yi secretly admired him. The fact that this guy Zhao Hong knows these methods really opened her eyes.
"You still have some brains! Of course he is causing trouble!"
Yang Guizhi smiled coldly and snorted disdainfully.
"This matter is very simple. Whoever profits from it is the instigator. Zhao Hong knows how to coerce public opinion to fight against Shi Miyuan. He is sinister and vicious, and the city is extremely deep, which is beyond my expectation! But it is not that easy for him to become the prince!"
Behind Zhao Hong's rise to fame, there seem to be people who are adding fuel to the fire. She originally thought it was Wei Liaoweng and others, but after seeing Zhao Hong's poems, she seemed to understand that Zhao Hong was leading everything and making trouble.
Only Zhao Hong has such talent and scheming. She had really underestimated this person before.
"Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is not a good person either!"
Yang Yi was confused and thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying:
"Auntie, I remember that people outside said that Zhao Hong was lustful, arrogant and debauched, and liked to associate with scoundrels in the market. I later found out that these were all nonsense. There were rumors in the public and in the palace that when Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, was born, the room was full of red light. The house, the aroma is fragrant. He also said that when he was sleeping, someone saw dragon scales on his body with his own eyes. This is all nonsense. Needless to say, this is Shi Miyuan's conspiracy. "
Yang Yi's words left Yang Guizhi speechless for a moment, and then he said coldly after a moment.
"No matter what, you should have less contact with someone with ulterior motives like Zhao Hong, lest others make irresponsible remarks and insult the Yang family's family tradition."
"Aunt, I think you are biased against him. Shi Miyuan slandered Zhao Hong, couldn't Zhao Hong fight back? Zhao Hong was originally a prince, and it was natural for him to become the prince. Shi Miyuan built momentum for Zhao Guicheng. This is insidious and vicious. Can be punished."
Yang Yi's words made Yang Guizhi speechless again. After a moment of pause, she said angrily:
"I heard that you became the godmother of Zhao Hong's son, and also became god sisters with the Zhou family. I really don't know what to say. I'm warning you, stay away from Zhao Hong, he is not a good person!"
"Aunt, actually you don't have to be so prejudiced against Zhao Hong. No matter whether Zhao Hong or Zhao Guicheng becomes the prince, or even the official family of the Song Dynasty in the future, you will still be your queen and queen mother."
Yang Yi looked at Yang Guizhi and mustered up the courage to say:
"Auntie, can't you accommodate Zhao Hong for my sake and let him become the prince as soon as possible?"
If Zhao Hong becomes the prince, he will naturally ascend the throne in the future. As for Zhao Guicheng, what does it have to do with him?
"I'll say it again, you and Zhao Hong are not suitable for each other. Also, even if Zhao Hong becomes the prince, he may not be able to ascend the throne smoothly!"
Yang Guizhi replied coldly. Yang Yi's anger rose and he couldn't help but refute.
"Auntie, you are in love with your family, and you are a fan of the authorities. Zhao Hong divorced the Wu family, and you feel shameless. But in this matter, it was clearly the Wu family who was at fault. She Hongxing cheated, how can she still want Zhao Hong..."
"Shut up! You're so presumptuous! You should be beaten to death for saying this!"
Yang Guizhi's face was stern and he shouted decisively, which startled Yang Yi and caused the rest of his words to get stuck in his throat.
It’s the Wu family she’s talking about. Why did my aunt have such a big reaction?
"Auntie, you scared me! Do you deserve this for the unruly Wu family? Do you find it interesting to target the current prince like this?"
Yang Yi lost his temper and said with a straight face, but Yang Guizhi was so angry that he immediately issued an eviction order.
"Hurry back to Xiaoshan, or go back to your hometown! Stop being crazy and incoherent! I'm warning you, don't interact with that Zhao Hong! You and him will not end well!"
After Yang Guizhi finished speaking, he stood up and left with a livid face.
My niece is inexperienced and difficult to communicate with, which is really a waste of her time.
The maids and eunuchs behind him followed suit and followed Yang Guizhi respectfully and left.
"What's going on? You're so domineering, and you won't even let anyone speak!"
Yang Yi shook his head, muttered dissatisfiedly, and stood up.
"Let me go back, I don't want to stay here yet!"
Hongxing cheated on her and acted unruly, was she wrong?
Also, what did my aunt mean when she said that there would be no consequences between her and Zhao Hong?
Are you really that unbearable?
