Chapter 102 Rewards
"It will take nearly ten days to go to Donghe. How do you plan to please me on this journey? If it is too boring, I can only rest all day, and you have to sleep? I don't know you young man Can you survive this time?"

The queen mother said with a chuckle and stuffed the pear cake with the small tooth marks on the chopsticks into his mouth.

"It's a long journey, please take a good rest, Madam."

Zhao Cuo bit the dessert in his mouth hard.Donghe River is also the boundary river between Dayu and Yaoting. They crossed several prefectures and counties on this trip. It would take day and night to complete this journey in less than ten days. It will take several months.

"No."

The girlish queen mother raised her head willfully.

"Zhao Cuo, do you still remember the thing that woke me up on purpose a few months ago? At that time, I said that I would let you coax me to sleep to make amends, so from tonight onwards, you can come to sleep."

"Yes."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong didn't think at all that this female devil wanted to devote herself to herself.

"Based on your disrespectful attitude towards me now, I should give you a good lesson tonight, so that you madman will know who is the master!"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction with his attitude.

"This peanut trotter is delicious."

Zhao caught a piece of hard-to-eat piece by mistake and tried to stop her mouth that could not stop eating.

"is it?"

His plan was considered successful, but it took only a few snaps of his fingers before the pig's trotters, which were pitted and full of tooth marks, entered his bowl.

'I eat your flesh! '

Zhao Cuo ate the meat in the bowl viciously as if biting the empress dowager's skin.

"Speaking of which, the reward I promised you has not yet been fulfilled."

When Grandpa Zhao had three jade bowls full of food in front of him, the Queen Mother Zhao, who built her happiness on the pain of others, put down her chopsticks and said lazily while holding her non-existent belly.

"Before I say this, can I share these dishes with the brothers below? I can't finish them all by myself."

"you dare?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao immediately narrowed her pale golden phoenix eyes.

"The things I have eaten are only allowed to be in your mouth. If a third person touches them, I will chop you up and make soup!"

"Let's talk about rewards."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong didn't want to argue with this unreasonable woman.

"You handled the corruption case of Beijing officials pretty well. At that time, I said that I could promise you a request. If you want anything, just say it now."

When she spoke, she blinked her pale golden eyes at Zhao Cuo suggestively.

"I can satisfy any request you have."

'If you can accept what I ask, that is the reward. If I put forward excessive conditions, your reward will be to leave me a whole body, right? '

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong will not be fooled by her.

"I was born in a family of bells and tripods, and I don't need to seek glory and wealth... I only want my family to be safe in this life."

He tentatively said such a paragraph first, and then continued to speak after seeing that the Queen Mother's expression was normal.

"If your empress really wants to reward me, please don't implicate my Zhao family in the future, and allow my immediate relatives not to be held accountable for non-capital crimes."

Of course, Zhao Cuo also wanted his parents to return to Beijing, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be good for them to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, where the mountains and rivers are good, and the most important thing is to stay away from the capital.

"You are a dutiful son."

Zhao Qinglan snorted softly as if feeling bored, then narrowed her beautiful eyes as if she had thought of something, and asked playfully:

"You suddenly asked me not to hurt your relatives. You are planning to commit some serious crime of punishing the nine clans. So you got the Danshu Iron Coupon from me in advance for Zheng Guogong's mansion?"

"Don't dare."

He spoke half-truthfully.

"I just realized Dayu's harsh punishments when I was handling the case for my mother, and worried that one day the disaster of family punishment would fall on my Zhao family, so I have today's request."

"You deserve this reward for making the eight-yearly Frozen River Hunt go smoothly..."

The empress dowager raised her hand and stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"What you want is not a lion's mouth. When I arrive at Donghe, I will check how the preparations for this grand event are going. If it is as reported by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, I will agree to your request."

"Thank you madam."

Zhao Cuo said calmly, then lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the fresh lamb leg.

"Why aren't you excited at all?" Empress Dowager Zhao kicked him under the table in dissatisfaction, "Do you think this palace's promise is nothing more than that?"

"The empress is naturally a promise."

Zhao Xiaogong followed his words and said.

"Eat quickly and play chess with Bengong."

The empress dowager pinched his calf again with her flexible toes.

"well."

After finishing all the delicacies in the bowl, he played Go with the Queen Mother Dayu. Mr. Zhao Xiaogong, who was once a playboy, had some accomplishments in this area, but in the end he was killed by the bad woman.

"What a stinking chess basket."

The Queen Mother proudly raised her head.

"Your Majesty's chess skills should be invincible in the world."

Zhao Cuo didn't care about winning or losing in this kind of thing, and even complimented him after losing, but it was a pity that it was directly photographed on the horse's hoof.

"continue."

The Empress Dowager, whose complexion sank, asked the court lady to arrange the shogi again.The day passed quickly, and at night Mr. Zhao really went to bed.

"Be a pillow for me. You'd better not move after I fall asleep. If you disturb me, I will ask you to follow the carriage to the frozen river!"

'If you don't want to be woken up, just let me out...'

Zhao Cuo looked at the red-haired girl who was resting her head on her lap. She was lying on her side hugging the quilt, with her delicate and picturesque face facing his abdomen.The phoenix chariot is still moving forward rhythmically, this is a team that sleeps day and night.

Thinking of the many entourage outside the carriage who were exhausted on the horse, his mood improved again. At least there was Furong to warm the tent, right?King Juan of Dayu was happy for a moment, then he calmed down and practiced with his eyes closed.The determination to avenge shame has never wavered.

As the weather gets colder and colder, time has come eight days later.

……

"It's so cold~"

Zhao Cuo opened the curtain and looked at the desolate plain outside the window. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this place is a place where birds don't shit. It was so cold that it brought up a mist when he opened his mouth.

"Do you want me to warm you up?"

The empress dowager's lazy clear voice came over.

"I can still resist the chill."

Zhao Xiaogong turned his head and looked at the Queen Mother Zhao who was still wearing a thin black chest-length skirt.

"I'm just worried that my sister will not be able to bear it in a few days."

"After lying on the same bed with Ben Gong for seven or eight days, you still dare to think about other women?"

The young queen mother immediately stared at him with willow eyebrows upright, and when the words fell, the imperial chariot suddenly slowed down.

"Your Majesty welcomes the Empress Dowager!"

When there was a roar of mountains and a tsunami outside, Feiwu walked in with his head down.

"We've already arrived in Donghe Town. The servants from the Ministry of Rites and the Household Department led all the officials to pick them up. Do you want to meet them or go directly to the palace?"
