The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 219 The Emperor Is Different
It has been more than a year since the last incident, Zhao Shuang still felt extremely embarrassed when he recalled it, and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, it was because I didn't think carefully at that time, and you were... wronged."

Zhang Shi'er is arrogant, and being scolded by others is the most unbearable thing, let alone being scolded by her childhood sweetheart.

A year ago, she didn't have the soul of spiritual wisdom, and she didn't think about it carefully. Zhao Shuang thinks about it now. At that time, Zhang Shi'er... must have been so embarrassed that she was digging the floor with her toes, so she felt a little more apologetic on her face.

"The princess does not need to blame herself. If the princess hadn't acted, I am afraid that I am still in the endless quarrel with Cheng Yu, and I still can't make up my mind to make up." Zhang Shi'er is worthy of being the daughter of a general. Laugh it off.

"This...you should thank the lord, your He Lishu was obtained by the lord." Zhao Shuang felt goosebumps again when he thought about it.Back then, she was scolded bloody by Yang Xuan because of her taking care of Zhang Shi'er.

"My concubine knows that if it wasn't for you, my concubine, my lord...would never care about this concubine's affairs." Zhang Shi'er took her hand, seemed to be in a good mood, and said with blinking eyes, "My concubine, my concubine just now ...A marriage has been agreed upon."

"Ah?" Zhao Shuang turned to look at her in surprise, "General Zhang agreed?"

Who would it be to be favored by General Zhang?She was Yang Xuan's side concubine back then, and even the old general looked down on her.

"Well, father, he agreed," Zhang Shi'er nodded, her cheeks flushed, "It's... General Mao of Hu Xiaowei."

"Mao Hu?!" Zhao Shuang was shocked for a moment, then put away the dog leash temporarily, shook Zhang Shi'er's shoulders with both hands and said, "Don't be impulsive! You must have been hit by Yang Xuan, so you just Pick one at random..."

"No!" Zhang Shi'er looked around and whispered when she saw no one, "My family and Mao Hu are family friends. When the capital was besieged, it was thanks to Mao Hu that he saved his rations and gave them to his father." and me, or my father and I would have starved to death long ago."

"Then you can't... wrong yourself for the sake of repaying your kindness." Zhao Shuang thought of Mao Hu's bearded face, and really couldn't see anything that matched Zhang Shi'er.

"Princess, you have misunderstood," Zhang Shi'er quickly waved her hands, "I am not here to repay my kindness, but I really like General Mao."

"Really?" Zhao Shuang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't quite believe it, "As long as you like it..."

She hasn't returned to the capital for a long time, and now there are many things in the capital that she can't understand. How did Ming Jing and Zhang Ruixue, Mao Hu and Zhang Shi'er become a couple so quickly?
It really is spring.

"We were going to get married a few years ago, but Mao Hu was too busy besieging the city with iron cavalry in Beiliang, so the matter was delayed." Zhang Shi'er said with a shy smile, and asked again, "I heard that the princess gave birth in western Yunnan. Congratulations to the little prince."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Zhang Shi'er finally found a lover, and Zhao Shuang was also happy for her, but she turned around and felt strange. She came out of Qingning Palace in a hurry to catch up with her, not just to talk about this. something?

"Princess, in fact, I came today because I wanted to tell the concubine that many things happened in the capital when you were not in the capital." Zhang Shi'er looked around again, and said mysteriously, "The emperor... is the same as before. It's different."

"Why is it different?" Zhao Shuang raised his heart.She did feel that something was wrong with Zhao Hongyi today, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"The emperor now favors civil servants and rejects military generals." Zhang Shi'er gave her a meaningful look, "Father's subordinates in the past... are all excluded now, and the matter of General Linghu...you must have heard of it, right?"

"Well, I also find it strange. When I have time, I will definitely go to the palace and ask the emperor if he was really bewitched by that He Yushu!" Zhao Shuang frowned.

"Princess, I heard that the Empress Dowager has plans to make a queen for the emperor. Now in Weiyang Palace, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian are fighting fiercely. Although it is not to the point of life and death, it is almost the same." Zhang Shi'er looked back. Glancing at the direction of Qingning Palace, "We have to think about which side to stand on first."

"Well, thank you for telling me this," Zhao Shuang nodded, and asked again, "Is Old General Zhang okay?"

"Fortunately, thank you, Princess, for your concern." Zhang Shi'er saluted, and hurriedly left, "I have talked a lot today, so I will leave first."

~~
After returning from Weiyang Palace, Zhao Shuang first went to the clean room to wash her hands and face, and just after she came out, she heard that Mrs. Li had come.

"Mother brought He Yuqi here?" Yang Xuan was leaning against the window reading a book, frowning displeased at the sound.

"Back to the lord, that's right," Chun Xin raised her eyes cautiously, and then said, "He Yuqi is following the Duke's wife, still holding the needle and thread made for you...Will the lord let her in? "

Since the last time the regent publicly announced that there was no He Meiren in the mansion, the servants dared not call He Yuqi "He Meiren", they only dared to call her by her name.

The prince said that the women in the back house are not allowed to enter the Hanguang Pavilion, but this time He Yuqi followed the Duke's wife, and Chun Xin and Qiu Xin did not dare to stop them, so Qiu Xin had to hold them back in the courtyard first, while Chun Xin Hurriedly ran back to report.

Li Shi is here to make trouble again!Could it be that he wants to break the rules in the palace?Yang Xuan's eyebrows twitched in anger.

"Since mother brought He Yuqi, let her come in with her." Zhao Shuang walked to the seat opposite Yang Xuan and poured herself a cup of tea.

She reckoned that He Yuqi was just like last time, either crying and calling for bedtime, or wanting Yang Xuan to resume his father's official position, Zhao Shuang figured it out with his toes, there was no way.

He Yuqi attracted Li Shi this time, and Zhao Shuang wanted to see what new tricks she could come up with.

Yang Xuan nodded sullenly, and Chun Xin hurried out.

Not long after, Chun Xin led several people from Mrs. Li in, and Mrs. Li was accompanied by a maidservant in green clothes and a young woman in a white dress.

The old lady is wearing a begonia brocade dress today, with a hanging cloud bun, and looks good.The woman behind her was wearing an elegant white dress embroidered with orchids, with a simple silver hairpin on her head, and she was taking small steps cautiously.

"Xuan'er, a few days ago, the Zhuangzi brought some high-quality peaches, and your father asked me to bring them to you for a try." Li said and glanced at the maid who was following her.

Qing Yuan dully brought a bamboo basket, and Chun Xin hurriedly took it.

It's just the beginning of spring, and it's impossible for Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Shangjing to produce peaches. These peaches must have been brought from the south by Mrs. Li to please his son.

"Mother, please sit down." After Yang Xuan said, Qiu Xin went down and brought up two bamboo and rattan cushions.

Mrs. Li didn't sit down, but looked at the woman in white, and smiled kindly, "My child, Yuqi, worked so hard to make you a basket of clothes, shoes and socks, but I was too embarrassed to bring them here... and even ran to the Duke It’s really embarrassing to ask your mother to hand it over to you, even after you’ve become a husband and wife, you still see each other like this..."
