Report to the prince: The princess is a powerful strategist

Chapter 16 Zhao Kaizhong returns to Beijing

As she walked to the front table, Princess Suihua smiled and whispered in Qin Zining's ear: "Why do I see that you like Chen Wan'er so much?"

"Don't you like sister Wan'er?" Qin Zining asked with a smile.

Princess Suihua smiled helplessly, "I just met her once, and I was completely focused on you just now. I didn't pay special attention to her at all. How can I like her or not?"

Qin Zining smiled and said, "Auntie, I really like sister Wan'er, and I think she and eldest brother should be a good match."

"Why does it involve your eldest brother? It is not appropriate to discuss marriage when someone is still in the period of filial piety. If your eldest brother returns to Beijing this time and really wants to show your eldest brother his love, then the first person he cannot consider is her."

Princess Suihua said calmly, although she also wanted to give her sons a daughter-in-law, but no matter how anxious she was, if she met a girl, she would immediately regard her as her daughter-in-law.

"Although Sister Wan'er is still in her filial piety period, she will have her filial piety period at some point. Maybe by the time my eldest brother returns to Beijing, Sister Wan'er will already be in her filial piety period?"

Qin Zining stopped talking after reaching this point.

Princess Suihua was so impressed by her that she really thought about it. After entering the hall, she called Zi Su and whispered a few words in her ear, asking her to inquire about Chen Waner. Condition.

Since Chen Waner is a guest in the Changping Marquis Mansion, the best way to find out her details is by asking the servants in the manor.

Eating at a banquet in a wealthy family is the most boring thing. In her last life, the last thing Qin Zining liked to do in Beijing was to attend various banquets.

Everyone is wearing a mask, it’s so boring.

However, she really wanted to participate in this life, because this boring banquet was often the place where the most news was conveyed.

No, it was just that her legs were numb from sitting at the banquet, so she excused herself to change clothes. After leaving the banquet, she heard a few interesting words at the corner of the corridor.

"Sister Zhuhong, where are you going? Don't you need to wait at the table in front of me?"

"The second young master has returned home, and my wife asked me to go and have a look."

"Ah, the second young master has finally returned home. His trip took a really long time."

Upon hearing the news that Zhao Kaizhong had returned to Beijing, Qin Zining's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, and his body became a little stiffer.

Yelan, who was supporting her, immediately noticed her change and lowered her voice and asked in Qin Zining's ear: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Qin Zining took a deep breath and said, "Nothing, let's go first!"

It wasn't until he left the corridor and walked to a wide area, making sure that there was no place to hide around, that Qin Zining said in a cold voice: "Zhao Kaizhong returned to Beijing, why didn't the secret guard send the news back?"

"This... I don't know, I will check it out soon." Yelan replied nervously.

The general sent secret guards early in the morning to keep an eye on the second young master of the Changping Marquis Mansion. The news that had been sent back before was that he was still traveling abroad.

It had only been two days since the last news came back, but the second son of the Changping Marquis Mansion suddenly appeared in the capital. Something must have happened.

"Zi'er, why are you blowing cold wind here and not going into the hall to have a seat?"

Mrs. Prince said as she walked over from the distant corridor.

Qin Zining hurriedly calmed down the look on her face, "Mrs. Prince, I was bored at the table. Thinking that I couldn't enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden because of my illness in the morning, I took my maid for a walk in the garden. .”

"That's it. It's just that the wind is blowing now. Sister, please don't stand here for a long time, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable again."

Mrs. Shizi asked with concern.

Qin Zining responded softly, "Yes, Zi'er will go back to the banquet now. Does the Crown Prince's wife also want to go back to the banquet? How about we go back together?" The Crown Prince's wife smiled and explained, "I just heard that someone came to report, two My brother has returned home, and my mother is thinking about him, so she asked me to go and see if there is anything needed in his yard. I have to go there now, and I can't accompany my sister Zi'er.

I'll ask the maid to take you back to the banquet room! "

"Don't bother Madam Prince. I remember the way back to the banquet. You can go back by yourself. If you have something important to do, just go quickly!"

"So, I'll go first."

Mrs. Shizi said and led the maids away first. Looking at her retreating back, Qin Zining fell into deep thought.

In the last life, the prince of Changping Hou suddenly died suddenly for unknown reasons, and the son of his wife also died of smallpox. For a time, she lost her husband and her son, and the wife of the prince also collapsed.

There was no one to follow the heir apparent, and eventually the title of heir apparent passed to the second son Zhao Kaizhong, who was born as a concubine.

Come to think of it, Zhao Kaizhong must have had something to do with the death of Prince Changping Hou.

Qin Zining thought about it and told Ye Lan: "Go and ask the maids in the mansion how the relationship between the eldest son and the second young master is like?"

"Yes, my subordinates will go now."

After Ye Lan sent Qin Zining back to the banquet, she retreated to the place where the servants were resting and waited. Taking advantage of this moment, she started chatting with the maids of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion...

night.

Qin Zi Ning was wearing pajamas and sitting on the couch. Ye Lan stood in front of her and talked to her in detail about what she had gained in the Changping Marquis Mansion today.

"Miss, I learned from the servants of the Changping Hou Mansion that the relationship between Changping Hou Crown Prince and the second young master is quite good. The most important thing is that although the second young master is not the daughter of Mrs. Changping Hou, Mrs. Changping Hou treats him in a friendly manner. The prince is no different."

Qin Zining frowned and thought, Mrs. Changping Hou was a well-known shrew in the capital. When she was young, she was always willing to sell the concubines of Changping Hou.

How could such a person regard the concubine Zhao Kaizhong as more important than his own son?

Moreover, in the previous life, after Zhao Kaizhong inherited the throne, Mrs. Changpinghou's ending was not good. When she was old, she was sent to the family temple to think about her past.

If Mrs. Changpinghou really regarded Zhao Kaizhong as her own, would Zhao Kaizhong treat her like this?
Could it be that Mrs. Changping Hou was praising the death of Zhao Kaizhong?
However, Mrs. Changping Hou is recognized as a straight-tempered person, and she does not seem to have such a scheming person.

"Ye Lan, did the secret guard reply to your letter? Why did Zhao Kaizhong suddenly appear in the capital?"

Qin Zining asked puzzledly.

"Miss, since the last news from the secret guard, Zhao Kaizhong is in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the capital. It is absolutely impossible to return to the capital in two days.

There must be other variables involved. I have written to inquire, but have yet to receive a response. "

Hearing this, Qin Zining looked at Ye Lan fiercely, "Ye Lan, you just said that it is impossible for Zhao Kaizhong to rush back to Beijing within two days, right?"

"Yes. Even if we ride the fastest thousand-mile horse and travel day and night from Jiangnan to Beijing, we will never be able to return to Beijing in two days."

Qin Zining narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this. The secret guards in the Liuying Guards were absolutely impossible to make mistakes in tracking.

They said that Zhao Kaizhong was in Jiangnan, so he must have been there two days ago. If so, how did Zhao Kaizhong return to Beijing within two days?
