Daughter of aristocratic family

After Zhao Wangshu and the queen talked a lot of nonsense, the queen asked: "Is Wangshu getting hairpin soon? Has the marriage been settled?"

"Grandma has made the decision and has betrothed me to someone else." Zhao Wangshu replied.

The queen's face darkened, "Which family does Xu De belong to?"

Without waiting for Zhao Wangshu to answer, she continued: "Why don't you report this to me?"

"Your Majesty lives deep in the palace and is busy with affairs. There is no need for your Majesty to worry about such small things." Zhao Wangshu lowered his eyebrows and said.

"Confused, how can you be so careless about your life-long event?" The queen's face was gloomy. "Immediately call off the marriage. I will make the decision for you and find another good family."

Just as Zhao Wangshu was about to speak, the palace maid's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

The queen was startled and glanced at Zhao Wangshu, "Hurry up and get out of the way."

Zhao Wangshu's eyebrows moved slightly and he walked behind the screen obediently.

The emperor came in, followed by Yun Hao.

Seeing Yun Hao, the queen had an ominous premonition for no reason.

When Zhao Wangshu came out from behind the screen, the queen knew something was wrong.

After Zhao Wangshu greeted the emperor, the emperor asked her, "Who are you? Why are you in the Queen's Palace?"

"The little girl Zhao Wangshu is the younger sister of Zhao Yin, one of the fifth-ranking ministers of the Huguang Qing Dynasty in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The empress summoned the little girl to the palace and asked her to break off her engagement with Yun Hao. She wants to find another marriage for me. Little girl. The woman is unwilling, so I beg your Majesty to make the decision for the little woman." Zhao Wangshu did not mention at all that she and the queen were of the same race.

"Beginning the engagement?" Yun Hao knelt down next to Zhao Wangshu, "I dare to ask the Queen, what did I do wrong? Does the Queen want Miss Zhao to cancel the engagement with me?"

"Queen, please explain to me." The emperor looked at the queen with a gloomy look.

The queen was in trouble. If she had known that the person engaged to Zhao Wangshu was Yun Hao, she would not have summoned Zhao Wangshu at all.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know that Wangshu and Jingyao were engaged. I thought that Wangshu's family had arranged a bad marriage for Wangshu, so I said that I would make the decision for her and ask her to cancel the marriage. "The queen argued.

"Your Majesty, I think that no matter who the young lady is engaged to, it is decided by the elders in the family. The queen summoned the young lady to the palace to talk about the withdrawal of the engagement, which is not in line with etiquette. I beg your majesty to be clear about this." Zhao Wangshu said immediately. .

"That makes sense." The emperor's eyes were filled with approval. Jingyao was a child with good eyesight. Although his family background was a bit poor, he had outstanding appearance, articulate voice, and was a smart girl.

"Your Majesty, I did something wrong out of good intentions, and I hope your Majesty will learn from it." The queen saluted the emperor.

The emperor hummed twice with unknown meaning, "Wangshu is entering the palace for the first time today. I have to give you a greeting gift. Someone, come and get the box of rubies. The rubies will look good on the little girl."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Yun Hao said first.

Zhao Wangshu followed behind and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

While waiting for the eunuch to come with the reward, the emperor chatted with Zhao Wangshu in an approachable manner and asked her how many people were in her family. What do you usually do? What are your hobbies?
Zhao Wangshu answered the questions carefully and waited for the eunuch to bring the box of rubies before she bowed to Yun Hao and left.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Zhao Wangshu looked at Yun Hao and hesitated to speak.

"Say what you want to say." Yun Hao smiled encouragingly.

"Is the emperor's attitude too kind?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yun Hao smiled, "That's because you are lovable."

Zhao Wangshu blinked, "Really?" His mind changed, "Yes, I am lovable."

She saw that Yun Hao didn't want to say anything, so she stopped asking. When Yun Hao wanted to say something in the future, he would naturally tell her.

She opened the box and looked at the ruby. It was bright in color, crystal clear and bright in luster.

"Yun Hao, what kind of jewelry do you think this ruby ​​would be good for?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile.

The two chatted about making jewelry in a harmonious atmosphere. In the palace, the emperor was furious with the queen, "There are so many noble ladies in the capital. It's not good for you to choose. You must choose Jingyao's fiancée. What do you want to do?" The queen felt aggrieved, "I really didn't know that Wang Shu and Jingyao were engaged."

"Even if you don't know, you should ask clearly. Are you embarrassed to ask someone to cancel the engagement just by asking?" the emperor continued to scold.

"I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." The queen knelt down and said.

"A few years ago, my mother praised you for doing things well. In the past few years, you have become more and more confused. If you dare to act randomly in the future, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the harem." The emperor walked away.

The queen collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, until the palace maid came in and helped her up.

Concubine Jing quickly found out about the quarrel between Yonghe and the palace emperor, and said sarcastically: "Idiot, take back everything that is dirty and smelly."

The palace maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is here."

While he was talking, Prince Baofu came in and said, "My son, please pay your respects to your mother and concubine."

"Sit down." Concubine Jing said with a smile.

The palace maid gave her ginseng tea and left.

Concubine Jing told the story of Yonghe Palace as a joke to Prince Baofu, "Yun Hao values ​​his fiancée very much. Let Qin Youzi interact with her more. If Yun Hao can be on your side."

Concubine Jing stretched out her hand and shook it in the air, "I will be more sure."

Prince Baofu smiled and said, "They have a good relationship. Qin Youzi has a lot of contacts with Yixing and the others."

"Your marriage is excellent. If you pay more attention to her, she will fully help you." Concubine Jing warned.

"My son knows." Prince Baofu responded.

While the mother and son were talking, the eighth prince Lin Di came in angrily, with his clothes torn.

"Who are you fighting with again?" Concubine Jing asked with a frown.

"That bastard Lao Jiu stole my slingshot and even beat me." Lin Di said angrily.

Concubine Jing extended her hand to him and said, "If your father hears this, he will have to beat you up."

Lin Di hummed, and Prince Baofu patted him on the shoulder, "What's so fun about a slingshot? I'll take you to the archery range in two days to shoot some arrows."

"Why do you have to go in two days? Let's go tomorrow." Lin Di couldn't wait.

"I want to invite your future sister-in-law to go with me." Prince Baofu said with a smile.

Then he hinted to Qin Youzi that the crowd would be more lively and asked her to invite Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi. If Yun Hao and Yao Zhen also went with them, he could take the opportunity to make friends with them.

"Bring your sister with you and make an appointment with Chen Xiao." Concubine Jing wanted her daughter and son-in-law to develop a relationship.

"Okay." Prince Baofu agreed.

After a while, the second princess came, and the three children ate with Concubine Jing.

Prince Baofu told him that he was going to go archery in the next two days. The second princess pouted and said, "I won't go, and I don't know how to shoot."

"Chen Xiao is also going," Concubine Jing said.

The second princess immediately changed her tune, "Then I'll go, mother-in-law, and ask them to make me a nice riding suit."

"The people from the Needlework Department will come and do it for you in the afternoon, and it can be done in one day." Concubine Jing said with a smile.

The emperor didn't like Empress Zhao, so he made her empress to obey the Queen Mother's wishes.
