Chapter 334 Drag
In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve.

The atmosphere at this year's palace banquet was really strange.

In the past, the emperor and empress loved each other, and the harem was full of beauties and nobles, who were not of high status, and even less important in the hearts of Jin Hedi. They never had a seat at the Jiying Palace banquet.

But this year, Empress Zheng has been ill and unable to get up. Concubine Zhen is in charge of the Sixth Palace, and Emperor Jinhe is willing to honor her. There is another seat next to the throne. Empress Zheng is gone on the high platform. All the officials worship, but it is Jinhe Emperor and Concubine Zhen.

Even the Gao family won a place at the palace banquet because of their progressive status as noble concubines.

Zhao Yi left the banquet early and went to Hanzhang Hall to accompany Empress Zheng.

Zheng Shuangxue was also there at that time.

Empress Zheng was in low spirits and couldn't speak a few words. After taking the medicine, she became drowsy, so she sent Zhao Yi and Zheng Shuangxue to wander around the palace, and waited for her to sleep for a while before speaking.

It was dark at night, but lamps were lit everywhere in the palace, especially the Changxin palace lamps in Hanzhang Hall, which were as bright as day.

The little maidservant in the palace followed closely, keeping a good distance, and couldn't hear the conversation between Zhao Yi and Zheng Shuangxue.

Zhao Yi was very upset.

There were frequent accidents in the court, the whole family of the Han family was killed, the Zheng family lost their titles, and he could no longer marry Zheng Shuangyi, and the queen mother made it like this.

With a bright future ahead, Zhao Yi felt at a loss for the first time.

And Jiang Wan——when the accident happened, Jiang Wan was still the same, easy to coax and deceive.

But the more time passed, the more he found that Jiang Wan was very different from before.

She didn't have him in her eyes, and the eyes that used to be bright when she looked at him were now full of Zhao Xing.

That can't be hidden.

Zheng Shuangxue stopped a little when she heard Zhao Yi sigh for the fifth time: "Is Your Highness sighing for your aunt?"

Zhao Yi squinted his eyes to look at her: "My mother has been ill for several months, aren't you worried about her?"

"My daughter is naturally worried about my aunt, but I'm afraid His Highness is not."

Zheng Shuangxue frowned.

She clearly had a faint smile on her face, but maybe because it didn't reach her eyes, or maybe it was because of the cold night, Zhao Yi could always see a little coldness from her expression.

He frowned more and more, and remained silent.

He has been in Zheng's family for ten years, and Zheng Shuangxue is the only one who doesn't like Zheng Shuangxue among his brothers and sisters.

It's not because of how Zheng Shuangxue offended him, but because she always stays out of the crowd.

The people and affairs of the Zheng family are obviously closely related to her, but she always keeps her attitude of staying out of the matter, making people puzzled.

When everyone was joking and having fun together, although she was with them, it seemed that she had never been with them.

Be an outsider.

What Zhao Yi dislikes the most is outsiders.

Too indifferent and too aloof.

"Does Your Highness know about Aunt's arrangements for His Highness's marriage?"

When she mentioned this, Zhao Yi's face became even colder.

Zheng Shuangxue smiled, "It seems His Highness knows."

Zhao Yi inexplicably felt that Zheng Shuangxue actually knew that he didn't like her.

It is the alienation and resistance born from the bottom of my heart.

"My aunt is for the Zheng family, but also for His Royal Highness. The eldest sister is not up to date, and the younger sister is too young, so I am the only one left."

Zheng Shuangxue took a hand out of the white rabbit fur grip, and the coldness in the air immediately made her fingertips reddish.

She closed her cloak before going to see Zhao Yi again: "His Royal Highness loves Princess Shu? Or big sister?"

"Cousin be careful!"

Zhao Yi suddenly scolded her coldly.

On the contrary, it's more like getting angry after being told what's on your mind.

Zheng Shuangxue's smile continued: "Anyway, this is in Hanzhang Hall, and no one can hear it. Why is Your Highness guilty?"

After she asked a rhetorical question, she didn't intend to hear anything from Zhao Yi's mouth.

It seemed that the sentence just now was just her casual saying.

Then she continued on her own: "The courtier just hopes that His Highness understands that if you miss some things and some people, you will miss them in this life.

Behind the courtier is the Zheng family, what is behind His Highness?

Perhaps for His Highness, the Zheng family is not what it used to be, but the ancients also said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Anyway, A Weng still has the title of duke of the country, even if it is the official order, when Aye inherits the title, he has to be degraded to inherit it, and he will still be a marquis no matter what.

According to the order of the imperial court, the demotion to the rank of the noble is passed on for two generations, and the elder brother's successor also gets a marquis rather than an earl.

Although my aunt is not in good health, she is still the queen of the palace after all.

His Highness has far-sightedness and great ambitions, whether it is for the immediate future or for the future, he should stop thinking about those people and seriously consider the marriage with his courtiers. "

Zhao Yi clicked his tongue: "What do you mean, besides you, I have no other choice?"

Zheng Shuangxue shook her head and said no: "Your Highness is the son of a sage, what kind of concubine can you not get? The Zheng family is not the only high-ranking family in the world, and the courtiers never dare to think so.

His Highness now dislikes the Zheng family, and deeply thinks that the Zheng family is declining day by day and is heading for decline. In the past, His Highness and the Zheng family supported each other, and now the Zheng family will rely on His Highness.

Therefore, it makes no difference to His Highness whether to marry a daughter of the Zheng family or not.

At first everyone boarded a boat, and the boat was about to sink, and no one wanted to jump off.

Since they are all one, they are also one if they are not related by marriage.

For His Highness, marrying another high-ranking girl is the greatest benefit and the best choice.

Your Highness, what the court lady said is correct, right? "

Zhao Yi really doesn't like her.

She always does.

It seems to be able to see through all hearts.

She is the only one who understands best.

Zhao Yi had indeed thought about these things more than once.

Judging from the current situation, this is also the best choice he should make.

Anyway, let him think for himself, Zheng Shuangxue is definitely not the candidate for the concubine.

If it wasn't for the fact that his mother had been ill for several months, depressed all day long, and had a estrangement with his father, he would have informed his mother of this matter long ago, and he should have sent Zheng Shuangxue away from Beijing and returned to Xingyang as soon as possible, otherwise he would have stayed in Beijing for a long time. I'm afraid there are many speculations, thinking that this is the concubine appointed to him by default, and it will be more difficult for him to ask for another girl in the future.

Tonight, Zheng Shuangxue directly punctured her.

Zhao Yi's face was completely dark.

He stared at Zheng Shuangxue with heavy eyes, and said coldly, "So?"

Zheng Shuangxue's smile became brighter and brighter, but the words she said broke people's hearts: "So the servant girl is advising Your Highness, it is best to give up this heart."

Zhao Yi suddenly thought of the poisonous snake lurking in the night, lurking in the dark and waiting.

That is Zheng Shuangxue.

"You—"

"My aunt will not allow His Highness to marry someone else. In fact, His Highness has never understood Aunt's intentions from the very beginning."

Zhao Yi frowned: "What do you mean?"

"His Royal Highness marries Jiang's daughter, and it is His Royal Highness, not the Jiang family, who will be preserved. As for the Zheng family—"

Zheng Shuangxue prolonged the ending, took a small step back, and looked at Zhao Yi: "If your highness hadn't messed around and ruined the marriage with the Duke of Peiguo, Zheng's daughter, minister's daughter, should have married His Highness the King of Shu to save her life." The wealth and prosperity of the Zheng family in the next 50 years.

So, my lord, what can you be wronged about?

It's not that the courtier has dragged you down, but His Highness has dragged down the courtier.

Up to now, the two of us have no choice but to make do with it, let's finish this life. "
