Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 116 Request
  If Zhao Wangshu knew that she was going this way and would see the Sixth Prince kissing Zhao Jiahua, she would not be looking for anything new, let alone look around. She would definitely be looking ahead and not looking aside.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, so Zhao Wangshu could only smile awkwardly at Zhao Jiahua, "Sister Hua, what a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Zhao Jiahua's face turned red and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"I won't disturb you, go on, we're leaving first." Zhao Wangshu blurted out faster than his brain.

"Sister Shu! What are you talking about?" Zhao Jiahua said with joy and embarrassment.

Zhao Wangshu laughed twice and pulled Yun Hao away quickly.

Returning to the small courtyard in Guizhi Lane, Yun Hao suddenly asked: "Wang Shu, do you have a good relationship with that girl?"

"It's good. What's wrong?" Zhao Wangshu picked up the pot and poured two cups of tea.

Yun Hao took a sip of tea and said, "The Sixth Prince will not marry her."

Zhao Wangshu was silent for a moment, "She should know this."

With Zhao Jiahua's family background, even with the help of Queen Zhao, she would not be able to take the position of the sixth prince's head wife.

"The sixth prince is very ambitious, but his mother-in-law Chun Fei's family is in decline, so she can't give him much help. He needs a prominent wife's family."

Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said, "The Zhao family doesn't have that much power."

"The Queen is a very shrewd person, and she is casting a wide net. The Tianhe House is Rong's natal family, the Duke of Shen's House is connected to the Prince of Xiangzheng County, the Hejian House is to the Yongchang Hou House, and the Ni family is Xianli The prince’s people.”

"Her web is quite big." Zhao Wangshu's mouth twitched slightly, "Who does the emperor prefer?"

"The emperor is in his prime." Yun Hao said calmly.

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows, "But his sons hope that he will die soon."

"The emperor is the legitimate son, and the two legitimate sons of the late queen. The eldest prince's name is Lin Yuan, and the fourth prince's name is Lin Yu. The original meaning of the word "gao" is far." Yun Hao said slowly.

Zhao Wangshu frowned and said, "Does he want to have a legitimate son? But Empress Zhao has no children."

"Seventh Prince Lin Xia, the original meaning of the word Xia is far-reaching." Yun Hao continued.

Zhao Wangshu understood instantly, "Then why doesn't he make Concubine Jing his queen?"

Concubine Jing is the successor, and the seventh prince is the legitimate son.

"He doesn't want to establish the crown prince so soon." Yun Hao understood the emperor's concern for power very well. Even if he was satisfied with the seventh prince, he would never establish the seventh prince as the crown prince so early.

"Maybe he wants to protect the seventh prince." Zhao Wangshu said.

Yun Hao was amused by Zhao Wangshu's statement, "Wangshu, the royal family has no family ties."

Zhao Wangshu was silent, she knew that Yun Hao was right.

The next day, Zhao Jiahua came over. Zhao Wangshu was packing his things. Zhao Yin was an official in Beijing and would not be released outside for the time being. Zhao Cui bought another large house and chose an auspicious day to move there.

"Sister Shu, I want to marry the sixth prince." Zhao Jiahua said directly.

Zhao Wangshu hesitated for a moment, "I once saw the Sixth Prince on the street with Ma Qiaoqiao, the eldest girl from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion."

"The Sixth Prince is so nice, it's normal for a girl to like him." Zhao Jiahua said.

"Sister Hua, the sixth prince's status is extraordinary. Even if his future wife is not a noble daughter, she will still be a daughter of an official family. You'd better think about it carefully and don't get too involved." Zhao Wangshu did not say it directly. If her status is not suitable for the Sixth Prince.

Zhao Jiahua lowered her head. After a while, she raised her head with firm eyes, "Sister Shu, I know everything you said, but in my heart I have decided that the sixth prince will not marry him unless I marry him in this life. Sister Shu, will you help me?" Right?"

Zhao Wangshu was surprised, "I'm not familiar with the Sixth Prince, how can I help you?"

"Master Yun is the commander of the Longting Guards and a close guard beside the emperor." Zhao Jiahua finally said the purpose of her visit.

Long Tingwei is the emperor's personal guard. He only obeys the emperor's orders and cannot be biased against any prince. If he dares to have a personal relationship with the prince, he will be eliminated by the emperor. Zhao Wangshu's eyes were slightly cold, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"Sister Shu, please help the Sixth Prince. He will be rewarded generously in the future." Zhao Jiahua promised.

"I still have something to do. Sister Hua, please come back." Zhao Wangshu directly issued an eviction order.

Zhao Jiahua refused to give up, "Sister Shu, you, you really don't want to help me?"

"This is not a question of whether to help or not, but I simply can't do it." Zhao Wangshu said.

Zhao Jiahua looked pleading, "Sister Shu, please, please help me because of our past friendship."

"Sister Hua, I really can't do anything about this, so please don't embarrass me." Zhao Wangshu said frankly.

A trace of disappointment and anger flashed in Zhao Jiahua's eyes. He took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, but his tone was still not good, "In that case, I won't embarrass Sister Shu."

Get up and walk away.

Zhao Wangshu looked at the shaking door curtain and sighed softly. She knew that this rejection might cause a rift in the friendship between them.

But she cannot violate her principles for the sake of friendship, and she is not willing to put Yun Hao in danger for the sake of friendship.

The struggle for imperial power is so easy to get involved.

And when Zhao Jiahua came to request, why did he take each other's feelings into consideration?
  Forget it, being sisters also requires fate.

The eighth day of May is a good time to move. On this day, the Zhao family moved to a house in the south of the city.

Even if the Zhao family has money to buy a bigger house, Zhao Yin is only a seventh-rank official. The newly bought house by Zhao Cui is not big, but has a reasonable layout and elegant environment. Zhao Cui took a fancy to it at first sight and spent the money. Bought for more than three thousand taels of silver.

Zhao Wangshu also had a small courtyard, with three main rooms, two side rooms, and five back rooms.

The courtyard is paved with a blue brick road, and there is a peace tank in the middle of the road. There are two goldfish in the tank. There are sweet-scented osmanthus trees and some flowers and plants planted in the yard, which is very beautiful.

"Girl, come into the room and have a look." Lady Qiao said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhao Wangshu entered the room and smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

The room is furnished with fir furniture, with soft cushions on the Kang table, a white-glazed incense burner on the Kang table, landscape paintings on the walls, and two pots of orchids on the windowsill. The room is warmly and elegantly decorated.

"What do you want to name the yard?" Yun Hao followed and asked with a smile.

"Any good suggestions?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yun Hao looked at her, "The yard is beautiful, and the people living in it are also beautiful people."

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows, "You won't let me name it Shuang Academy of Fine Arts, will you? It's too vulgar and rustic."

"Although I am a military commander, I am also familiar with poetry and books, so I will not be so vulgar." Yun Hao said with a smile.

Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said, "Master Yun, could you please give me a poetic, fresh and refined name for the hospital?"

Yun Hao pondered for a moment, "Let's call it 'Jiuwan Immortal Residence'. There are osmanthus flowers in the courtyard and orchids in the house."

"What a good name. My Mr. Yun is really good at both civil and military skills." Zhao Wangshu said with a sweet smile.

"Miss Zhao is so complimentary that I can't bear it." Yun Hao accompanies her.

"I have to trouble Mr. Yun to write a plaque for me." Zhao Wangshu took him to the study next to him.

"my pleasure."
