The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 100 Xuan'er is a shy child (final draft)

Seeing that he seemed to be really tired, Zhao Shuang also closed his eyes. It took a lot of effort to undo the blood curse just now, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement behind her, but the sound of sleeping breathing was heard instead. Yang Xuan quickly turned around and found that she was already asleep.

~~
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming in Shangjing.

The Empress Dowager Liu in Weiyang Palace has done two major things recently. One is to award Chen Yang, Marquis of Yongchang, a cabinet bachelor, who can participate in government affairs, and the other is to act as a matchmaker for Wei Wei Shaoqing Cheng Qian.

The regent was very busy, Chen Yang, a cabinet scholar, and Cheng Qian, a Wei Wei Shaoqing, seemed to be at odds with him by nature, but the queen mother had a preference for these two, as if deliberately limiting the power of the regent.

Ever since she was hit by the blood curse last time, and the wisp of soul in her body was taken away by Mrs. Jingyi, Qingyuan has no memory of Princess Chaohua, nor can she remember things in the capital. Zhao Shuang saw her dumbfounded, Being alone in Shangjing, he felt pity and planned to keep him in the palace.

But Yang Xuan said that she was the daughter of a rebellious general, and he was the one who killed his father and enemy, and he was afraid that she would deliberately retaliate, so he could not stay in the palace.

So Zhao Shuang asked Qing Yuan to pack her bags, and went to the Duke's Mansion to serve as a girl serving tea and water by Li's side.

The people in the palace didn't know why, they just saw that Qingyuan went to the Duke's mansion, and the princess moved back to Fanshuang Palace, they all thought that the prince and princess had reached some kind of compromise on Qingyuan.

On this day, Zhao Shuang went to the Duke's Mansion to visit Mrs. Li, and took a look at how Qing Yuan was doing.

"Shuang'er, last time... I blame Xuan'er for being ignorant," Li warmly took Zhao Shuang's hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Qingyuan is under my nose right now, so she definitely doesn't dare to mess around .Xuan'er, I will also advise him to put more attention on you."

Mrs. Li didn't know what happened, but saw that Qing Yuan was sent back to the Duke's mansion by her son, and thought her son was frightened by the pressure from the eldest princess, so she sent Qing Yuan back.

"Thank you, mother." Zhao Shuang glanced at the blue-clothed maid behind Li Shi, seeing that Qing Yuan's complexion was not bad after casting the blood curse, so she was relieved.

"Shuang'er, it's been a year since you woke up, and your stomach...hasn't moved?" Shi Li poured her a cup of tea herself, and said hesitantly, "It's not that mother is impatient, but...Xuan'er, he's going to die soon." At ten, people at his age can be grandfathers."

"Mother, there is no need to rush this matter." Zhao Shuang took the tea without looking at her.

Today she was wearing a rouge-colored brocade robe with large sleeves, and her hair was casually tied up in a bun, which made her look even more dignified. The maidservant in Tsing Yi behind Mrs. Li just glanced at her, but couldn't lift her head in embarrassment.

"Last time, the golden paper sprinkled with red... did you show it to Xuan'er?" Shi Li asked anxiously.

"My lord has seen it, but he said no." Zhao Shuang lifted the lid of the tea in displeasure, "He also told me... I don't have to bother him in the future."

"Xuan'er has been weird since he was a child, and no one knows what he's thinking," Li said with a warm smile while holding tea, "One time when I was young, on a very hot day, he said he was going outside to catch cicadas. I was taught a lesson by Grandpa Guo, who would have thought that he would sneak out later, to buy me iced watermelon."

Zhao Shuang gave her a strange look, wondering what kind of medicine the old lady was selling in her gourd.

Seeing her stupid look, Mrs. Li knew that she didn't understand, and added, "There was another time when Grandpa Guo bought a sword for Xuan'er. During this time, I secretly took out the sword to play with, and I couldn't put it down."

"Mother," Zhao Shuang blinked her long eyelashes, and asked suspiciously, "What exactly are you trying to say? I can't understand."

"Ahem!" Li Shi coughed twice with one hand clenched into a fist, sat upright, and said slowly, "I just want to say, Xuan'er is a shy child, and he is too embarrassed to say anything he likes. So he said no, Not necessarily that you really don’t want to.”

A few days ago, Yang Xuan came to the Duke's mansion on purpose, and had a long talk with the two old men, which left them confused, and finally said that he would not give him any more women, and he didn't want any concubines either.

Yang Ling and Li Shi looked at each other in dismay. For more than ten years, he had never said "no" to his son as a gift. Why is it different when the eldest princess wakes up?

Yang Ling wondered whether his son's body was weak and unable to do what he wanted.

What Li Shi thought was that maybe his son was still intimidated by the pressure from the eldest princess, fearing that the eldest princess would be displeased.

"You mean..." Zhao Shuang scratched his head, but still felt very embarrassed, "You mean that he said he didn't mean what he meant, that he wanted it when he said he didn't want it?"

"That's right, that's what mother meant!" Shi Li nodded excitedly, thinking that the child had finally enlightened.

"Mother, no matter what you say, I won't do this anyway. The prince really annoyed me." Zhao Shuang lowered his head, "If you want to talk, you can tell him yourself."

She also felt that every time she was looking for a concubine for Yang Xuan, her heart was very twisted, sore and itchy, she couldn't tell what it was like, and she would breathe a sigh of relief every time she heard him say "no".

I am not a matchmaker, why do I keep doing this kind of thing?

"Shuang'er, it's not that mother is unreasonable. It's been a year since you woke up, but you still...can't conceive." Li Shi refilled her with some tea and pushed a stack of refreshments over, "I You and your father are both in their seventies, but they just want to have a grandson earlier, there is no malice. If you don't like those women, it doesn't matter if you dispose of them after giving birth."

I often heard maids say that Li Shi was cruel and merciless when she was young, and she had a lot of tricks. Zhao Shuang gradually felt the same way after getting along with her for a long time.

Mrs. Li is not a very bad mother-in-law, but she will do whatever she can to achieve her goal. The first time Zhao Shuang saw her, she knew that this old lady was riddled with evil.

"It's useless for you to tell me about it," Zhao Shuang said coldly without taking the teacup, "you have to tell the prince to be useful."

"Yes, yes, mother will talk to Xuan'er when she has time." Seeing that she didn't take tea, Mrs. Li looked a little embarrassed, and changed the topic, "By the way, I heard Honghu say a few days ago that she and Yongchanghou's The wedding date has been fixed, I was thinking... choose a day to invite Lord Hou and Honghu to the Duke's Mansion for a talk, and when the time comes, you and Xuan'er will also come together?"

"Mother, that swan... You'd better stay away from her." Zhao Shuang raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Li, seeing her puzzled face, it was hard to explain, "There is also that Marquis of Yongchang, who in just a short time It is not easy to climb from a small team to the position of a cabinet scholar."

"People in Shangjing say that Lord Hou is gentle and elegant, a gentleman..." Li Shi lowered her head and took a sip of tea disapprovingly, "This girl Honghu... is well-behaved and polite, I am also happy to see it."

"Mother, the Marquis of Yongchang once came to visit the prince, but the prince didn't like it, so he only gave him an idle job in the East Day Camp." Zhao Shuang frowned, "This man is ambitious, and he must have a grudge against the prince. Mother can't Don't guard against it."

　After grinding for a long time today, only [-] words came out. Fortunately, there is a manuscript.
