The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 272 Can I Have Objections?
"Oh? He wants to choose a concubine?" Zhao Shuang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "It's really full of warmth and thoughts."

After a few days, she will be able to give birth, and her spells have almost recovered. Zhao Shuang rubbed her wrist, and her bones made a "click" sound.

"My concubine only heard about it, I heard about it! This Maohu is talking nonsense all day long, who knows if what he said is true or not?" Zhang Shi'er quickly waved her hand, and then winked at Zhang Ruixue.

"Empress, no matter whether the rumors are true or not, you should plan ahead and make plans early." The empress heard that the emperor was going to choose a concubine, and finally had a reaction. Zhang Ruixue decided to add fire, "Otherwise, if the rumors come true , isn't it...too late?"

"That's right, empress," Zhang Shi'er nodded, echoing desperately, "The emperor is now in his prime, if you choose a few young girls by his side, and give birth to a few princes, then your Ah Chen... Are you more neglected?"

Ah Chen, who was still a baby, couldn't turn over yet, but when he heard his name being mentioned, he began to cry aggrievedly.

He has a quiet temperament, unlike A Tao who cried "Wow" at every turn in the past, but watching Zhao Shuang cry silently makes people feel more distressed.

"I know what you guys are talking about," Zhao Shuang hugged Ah Chen and coaxed him twice, then said to Zhang Shi'er and Zhang Ruixue, "It's just that if he really wants to choose a concubine, even if I return to Weiyang Palace, I will only I'm afraid I can't stop it."

"The Queen Mother..."

Zhang Shi'er wanted to say more, but Zhao Shuang waved her hand and said impatiently, "You all go back, I have my own plans for this matter."

~~
As night fell, Ah Shen was sleeping soundly on the couch, and Zhao Shuang was sitting at the table writing letters.

A few days ago, a secret letter came from Hulan, saying that she and Xiangxia had escorted Zhao Hongyi and Zhang Xiaoxue to settle down in Xiyuan Road. They dared not enter the city, so they went to Xiangxia's hometown.

Seeing that winter was about to enter, Hu Lan asked them how long they would stay in Xiyuan Road, and if they could come back to Shangjing.

Hu Lan didn't understand, now that Chen Yang is dead, the prince is enthroned, and the overall situation is settled, why can't he come back to Shangjing?
Zhao Shuang reckoned that she wanted to go back to Shangjing. Firstly, Xiyuan Road was deserted and inhabited, and Hu Lan felt that there was no use for it. Second, Linghu Kong was still in Shangjing, so she couldn't let go.

The weather in Xiyuan Road was bad, and Zhao Shuang didn't plan to let them live in Xiyuan Road forever, so she wrote to Hulan Anxin that she had arranged a way out for Zhao Hongyi, and she would go to Xiyuan Road to pick up Zhao Hongyi in person soon.

She wrote a reply letter casually, came out in the shape of a golden butterfly shikigami, and chanted something into the letter paper, the letter paper turned into the size of a fingernail, and the butterfly flew away after holding it.

On the second day, Zhao Shuang led Xiangdong to the Duke's mansion to visit Yuexi.

Since the death of Mrs. Li, the Duke's Mansion has been gloomy and gloomy, and there is no more excitement in the past. Even when Yang Xuan ascended the throne and Yang Ling was made the Supreme Emperor, there was no red lantern hung.

During this period of time, Zhao Shuang was busy giving birth and confinement, and had no time to visit Yuexi, wondering how he was living under the fence.

Walking to the gate of the west courtyard, I saw Ling Lan coming to welcome her.

"Empress, you've just given birth, why don't you come out and walk around in person, if there's anything you need, just let the servants report to you." Ling Lan bowed her knees and saluted.

She was wearing a plain shirt and skirt today, and she only applied a little makeup on her face. It seemed that she still remembered that she was a servant girl by Li Shi's side, and she was keeping a filial piety for Li Shi.

"It's okay, I recovered pretty quickly." Zhao Shuang looked her up and down, saw that she was still dressed as a maid, and understood that Yang Ling didn't mention her identity, so she asked, "How is the emperor these days?"

Ever since Yang Xuan changed his dynasty and ascended the throne, he made Yang Lingzun the Supreme Emperor, but the old man didn't even bother to enter the door of Weiyang Palace, and he still lived in the Duke's mansion all day long, no different from before.

"Back to empress, the emperor misses the old lady these days, he doesn't think about food and drink, his health is not as good as before." Ling Lan said softly, with a touch of melancholy on her face.

Yang Lingnian is nearly seventy years old, and has a lot of experience, so he would not give a servant girl status for the sake of beauty, and he knows how to restrain himself. After Li's death, he is almost not close to women, and it is impossible for Ling Lan to give birth to an heir.

"Lead me to see his old man later." Zhao Shuang saw the worry hidden in the little girl's eyes at a glance.

Lily of the Land is not bad-tempered, she is smart and understandable, she is always willing to give favors, and Zhao Shuang has also received favors from her in the past.

Such an exquisite girl, if she wasn't in the awkward position right now, it would be great.

It was late autumn and the weather was a bit chilly, so she couldn't help wrapping up her snow-white cloak.

"The emperor just came to visit yesterday, unfortunately, the empress is a day late. Do the empress still remember what my servant... said to you?" Ling Lan glanced at her quietly, then quickly bowed her head and said, "My servant Too much talk."

Zhao Shuang was silent for a moment.

On the night when the accident happened in Chen Xiang Yuan, Ling Lan once said to her, "The most feared thing between a husband and wife is that there will be a rift between husband and wife, and someone will take advantage of it."

This girl was really smart, she saw that Zhao Shuang and Yang Xuan were not getting along well, so she reminded her.

"It's okay. I remember, Lily Lan, you are right. However, this time... is different from that time in Chen Xiangyuan, no one took advantage of it." Zhao Shuang stretched out his hand and patted Ling Lan's shoulder, gently He smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, what about your own affairs? The emperor is old, and you have served him for so long, and he didn't say anything?"

"Yes, I don't know how many gold and silver treasures have been rewarded." Ling Lan had a forced smile on her face, "This servant is not born at the right time, so I dare not expect more."

Being born at the wrong time means that the age difference between her and Yang Ling is too large, and the gap between them cannot be bridged.

"Well, it's fine if you want to." Zhao Shuang held Ling Lan's hand and walked slowly towards the west courtyard. There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard. It was some elderly aunts who were making mooncakes. Zhao Shuang turned her head Glancing at Ling Lan, "Aren't you...better than those aunts?"

If you want people and people, if you want money and money, if you want freedom and freedom, how can you not be better than those aunts who were imprisoned in the west courtyard!
Zhao Shuang was implying that she was just a name, so don't pay too much attention to it.

"Well, this servant has already looked away." Ling Lan nodded, then tilted her head and smiled mischievously at Zhao Shuang, "Empress Empress should also look away, the emperor's ascension to the throne is the fate of fate. It's done, you should too... Cherish the talents in front of you."

Zhao Shuang stopped in his tracks, looked up at the cirrus clouds in the sky, and said coldly, "It's all done, can't I have any objections?"

She knew that Da Zhou was exhausted, but she just hated Yang Xuan's duplicity, keeping everything from her, and forced her to accept it until she couldn't turn back.

Perhaps, he guarded against her and used her from the very beginning.

"This is not what I mean." Ling Lan hurriedly knelt and apologized.

"Forget it, you go back. I'll go to see Yuexi first, and then I'll visit the emperor later." Zhao Shuang said, leading Xiangdong across the threshold of the west courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, I smelled the aroma of food.

Qing Yuan was setting meals on the small round table in the courtyard, when she saw her coming, she hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, "Empress Empress!"
