The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 105 Invitation to the Palace
Guo Baozhu didn't go too far, the place where she picked the flowers was at most one cup of tea away from the gazebo.

When she met someone who was disappointed while enjoying the flowers, she wanted to go back directly, but when she found that the boy with a white face was following her aggressively, Guo Baozhu suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head and stared at him: "Why, no Convinced and want to fight?"

"I..." Ji Zhao choked.

When he was a child, he was often boasted by his elders that he looked like a doll, and was teased by his playmates, so when he grew up, Ji Zhao hated people talking about his appearance the most.If the person he met today was a man, he would have rewarded him a long time ago, but it happened to be a fierce girl, he really couldn't fight it, and if he didn't fight, he couldn't swallow it!
Forget it, good men don't fight with women, and gentlemen use their mouths but don't fight.

Facing the girl's provocative look, Ji Zhao snorted, and said contemptuously: "Master, I don't bother to fight with women, but I just want to remind you that a girl's family should look like a girl's family, swearing and beating others, be careful in the future Can't get married."

Guo Baozhu has long been used to hearing this kind of talk, and she was not angry at all. Instead, she gave Ji Zhao a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "I thought you just looked like a woman, but I didn't expect that your meddling temper also resembled a woman's." ... Bah! Whether I marry or not is up to you! Go find your Miss He, be careful if you miss this one, you will never be able to marry a daughter-in-law again!"

The first time he met such a sharp-tongued girl, Ji Zhao was so angry that his handsome face turned red and white. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he strode after her without thinking, and stopped in front of Guo Baozhu.Guo Baozhu couldn't avoid him even if he walked left or right, his temper was completely up, and he took two steps back and looked up at him: "Will you let me out? Let me tell you, don't say my brother is in front, it's me, move!" It can beat you all over the ground with your hand!"

Ji Zhao smiled dryly, looked in the direction of her finger, then turned back and said, "Okay, call your brother over, I want to ask how he taught my sister..."

"The son seems to have a lot of experience in teaching sisters. If there is anything wrong with the sister, I hope the son will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Before Ji Zhao finished speaking, a familiar cold voice suddenly came from behind him. Ji Zhao raised his eyebrows in doubt, feeling uneasy for no reason.Looking at Guo Baozhu who was gloating, he turned sideways and saw two figures walking slowly from behind a field of flowers and trees, followed by three little maids, and the stalwart man with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes in front was exactly what he admired. The son of Zhao's eldest son who was promoted to the third-rank commander by virtue of his good skills after many days before reaching the weak crown?

"Brother!" Ji Zhao shouted happily.He was worrying that he would not have a chance to deal with Zhao Chen after he returned to Beijing, and it was not something that could be done immediately by asking someone to arrange a job for him in the Jinwu Guard. He did not expect to meet him today!

Zhao Chen ignored him and asked Guo Baozhu, "What's going on?"

Ji Zhao's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly remembered Zhao Chen's words just now, and asked in disbelief: "Brother Shi, she, isn't she your sister? I remember that there is only a little sister who is about ten years old in Brother Shi's family." But he shouted in his heart. Wonderful, even if it's not his own sister, the relationship must be extraordinary. If he had known this, he should have coaxed her like an aunt when he met!
He inquired clearly, Zhao Chen took another look at Ji Zhao, and explained: "She is my aunt, you have seen her brother..."

"... Commander Guo?" Ji Zhao's legs were weak, and his forehead was sweating.Last year the capital changed drastically, blood flowed like rivers outside, he was detained by his grandmother at home and could not go anywhere, and later I heard that when the emperor broke into the palace to rescue the late emperor from the hands of the prince, Guo Zijing was one of the guards who escorted him along the way. After the bloody battle, only a few people including Guo Zijing survived. Among them, Guo Zijing made the most contribution and deservedly took over as the commander of the imperial guards.

And he actually offended Guo Zijing's own sister?

Ji Zhao didn't dare to stay any longer, and made an apology to Guo Baozhu in front of Zhao Chen: "A moment ago, Ji had no eyes and no eyes to admit the wrong person, and was rude to Miss Guo. Please, Miss Guo, don't remember the villain's mistakes, and forgive Ji."

How could Guo Baozhu forgive him?If Ji Zhao just threw her flowers, she wouldn't be too angry, but Ji Zhao actually said that she has small breasts?It's no wonder she can bear it!
"Dream, I warn you, hide away immediately when you see me in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Ji Zhao said yes again and again, thinking that he would avoid her even if she didn't mention it, and he couldn't be offended if he was so fierce, would he come forward and ask for scolding?

"Brother, you can continue to enjoy the flowers. I have to go ahead and visit my brother's house another day." Without caring about asking about the identity of the woman next to Zhao Chen, Ji Zhao fled in despair after finishing speaking.He went up the mountain today to sabotage the marriage talk, and after delaying for so long, he still has to get angry with the real Miss He!
Guo Baozhu pouted at the boy's back, and then asked curiously, "Brother, who is he? How do you know this kind of person?"

Zhao Chen knew that his wife must also be curious, and while motioning for a few people to go to the guest room of the temple, he explained: "He is Ji Zhao, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyi. He met him in the paddock. He is a casual acquaintance. Baozhu, what happened just now?" , you provoked him first?" In his opinion, Ji Zhao is playful but not a dandy, and would not bully a strange girl for no reason.

Guo Baozhu muttered a few words in a low voice, but only talked about Ji Zhao admitting that the wrong person robbed her of flowers, and didn't mention Ji Zhao's mockery of her body.Who is she? She is clearly blind. Where is she so small?It can't be compared with sister-in-law, but it's not small either!

Aju didn't notice that sister-in-law glanced at her chest twice, and persuaded softly: "Baozhu, you don't need to pay attention to this kind of thing in the future, just turn around and leave. It's really a commotion. It's you who are seen in the end." You’re at a disadvantage.” When arguing with a man, no matter how reasonable the little girl is, she can’t get it right.

Zhao Chen snickered after hearing this, and recalled that his wife had been avoiding him in Dengzhou back then, and he was coaxed into the door by his soft and hard tactics.

On the other side, Ji Zhao wandered around among the flowers and trees for a quarter of an hour, but he couldn't find the He family siblings.

He was very annoyed. If he missed this opportunity, he could only continue to spend time with his grandmother, since he would not marry anyway.

Ji Zhao walked back listlessly.

When walking out of the woods, I unexpectedly found that there was a girl in a lavender dress next to Mrs. He in the gazebo, and two six or seven-year-old boys were sitting between the two old ladies. Amused.

Ji Zhao instinctively wanted to leave.What did you do in the past?You definitely can't bully someone else's granddaughter in front of Mrs. He, it has something to do with your family's upbringing!

The old lady Ji had sharp eyes, and before Ji Zhao turned around, she yelled, "Azhao, come here!" The disobedient brat just didn't know where to hide!

Ji Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

The old lady Ji introduced him with a smile: "You have met your two younger brothers a long time ago. This is your third younger sister. When you were young, your grandmother took you to the He family as a guest. You and Minjun often played together. Do you still have any memories?"

Ji Zhao glanced at He Minjun and sneered in his heart, when he was a child?When he was still wearing crotch pants, it's strange to remember!
Just about to shake her head, the girl on the opposite side said softly: "Old madam, don't make fun of us juniors. How could brother Ji remember such a small thing? Anyway, I can't remember at all."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, but Ji Zhao thought of that girl from the Guo family, who was arrogant and aggressive.

Mrs. He nodded with a smile: "Yes, but time flies so fast, Ah Zhao has grown so tall in the blink of an eye, look at this whole body style, even more brilliant than his father back then."

"Come on, you should stop flattering him. According to his father, he is far behind. He is not like Minjun. The eighteenth-year-old female student is very beautiful. Anyway, I have never seen a girl who is more beautiful than Minjun." The old lady Ji replied with a smile.

He Minjun lowered his head shyly, and his eyes fell on the boots of the boy opposite him. I wonder if he has changed his mind now that he has seen his real self?
Ji Zhao didn't change it, and he couldn't bear to hear the two old ladies complimenting each other. He bowed to the old lady and said, "It's already noon, I'll go to see how the fast food is prepared in the temple first, grandma, please go slowly."

It's really getting late, Mrs. Ji nodded.

Ji Zhao strode out of the pavilion.

Back home in the afternoon, Mrs. Ji couldn't wait to ask her grandson: "How is it, grandma didn't lie to you, Minjun is really pretty, right?"

"It's too short, I don't like it." Ji Zhao lazily leaned on the chair, scooped the iced cherry and white fungus soup into his mouth spoon by spoon, took two mouthfuls and finally remembered filial piety, raised his head and asked: "Grandma, do you want a bowl? Let it cool off."

The old lady Ji stared at him fiercely: "You don't need to be glib, how is Minjun short? He is taller than when I married your grandfather back then. I think you just don't want to get married! If you can't do it, you have to do it. Just wait, this In two days, I will choose an auspicious day to send your Geng post!"

Ji Zhao slowly put down the bowl, got up and said, "Grandmother, when I want to get married, I will naturally ask you to make the decision. Now I don't want to. If you dare to send Geng Tie there regardless of my wishes, I will go to the Northwest to join the army right away. If you don't believe me, just try it." !” After saying that, he turned and walked out.

"Stop!" Mrs. Ji shouted loudly, "You don't want your broken dog anymore?"

Ji Zhao turned back and smiled: "Weifeng can make soup for grandma, that's its good fortune, grandma, let someone kill it, and grandson will pick a new one to raise, in the future, grandma wants to drink it again and save money Then go out and buy."

A pair of oily and salty appearance.

The old lady Ji was so angry that she had no choice but to take this single seedling, so she went to He's house in person the next day.

No matter how tactfully she said it, in the final analysis, Ji Zhao didn't like her daughter. Mrs. He smiled to reassure the old sister not to get angry, but in her heart she decided to abandon Ji's family and choose another son-in-law for her granddaughter.There are so many nobles in the capital, with Minjun's appearance, how can you still marry?The first consideration of Ji Zhao is just because of the little friendship between her and the old lady Ji.

She could think about it, but when He Minjun learned about it, he secretly crumpled an embroidered handkerchief, and turned his anger on Guo Baozhu.

How many He families are there in Beijing?She didn't believe that Guo Baozhu couldn't guess that she was the one who asked to meet Ji Zhao, Guo Baozhu just reprimanded Ji Zhao, why bother saying that she was interested in Ji Zhao's father's power?Ji Zhao must have misunderstood her because of this...

It was nearly June, and the sky was getting hotter and hotter, and Wangzhuxuan had to use ice.

For the past half month, Zhao Chen has been on night duty in the palace, and today he is finally going back home. Ah Ju wants to pick out nice clothes to dress herself up, but finds that the summer clothes newly sent by the embroidery house have grown bigger.

She looked down at her stomach.Compared with the beginning of the month, her stomach is obviously bulging now. Occasionally, when Ah Ju is staying quietly by herself, she can still feel slight fetal movements. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Chen doesn't want to go home, and she doesn't particularly think about it.Her children are growing up and she is no longer alone.

Before sunset, Zhao Chen returned to the mansion and noticed the change in his wife at a glance.

"So big? Show me." After the bath, Zhao Chen let his wife lean on the bed, excited and nervous.

Every time he came home, he had to touch her belly. Ah Ju smiled, and took the initiative to lift up the hem of her clothes to reveal the lower belly that the water-green apron could not completely cover, and told him softly: "The child can already move, but it's not obvious. You can stick it for a while." , see if you can feel it."

Zhao Chenfeng's eyes were bright, and he was so happy that he couldn't even speak. He opened his bellyband and kissed his wife's belly lightly, and rubbed his big hand several times along the protruding shape of the lower abdomen like treating a treasure. Rare enough, this Only then did he put his face on it, and lay there waiting like a child.Probably because he didn't want his wife to see his stupid appearance, he turned his face to the bed, leaving only the back of his head to his wife.

He waited slowly, Ah Ju's heart was as soft as water, he put his hand on the man's bare shoulder, and moved back and forth along his strong and powerful arm.Such a cold and mighty person, at this very moment, treats her and her child carefully, only she can see Zhao Chen.

"It's moving, Ah Ju really moved!" Zhao Chen suddenly raised his head after an unknown amount of time and said excitedly.

"Could I still lie to you?" Ah Ju put down his clothes, and looked at the foolish man reproachfully, "Mother said, she will move more and more in the future, and even kick me."

That was a scene that Zhao Chen couldn't imagine at all, full of expectations, he hugged Aju, "That's great, Aju, you're so kind."

Ah Ju was tickled by his kiss, grabbed his hand and asked him, "Can I stay at home tomorrow?"

Zhao Chen held his wife's hand to play with, and looked at her apologetically: "Yeah, I couldn't accompany you a while ago, and I will stay by your side all day tomorrow." As he said that, his wife...

After a while, Zhao Chen suddenly remembered something, "Ah Ju, do you still remember the couple we met in front of the lantern shop on the Lantern Festival?"

Ah Ju certainly remembered, looked at him curiously, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Chen put his arms around him and said: "That man is the current second prince, King Jing, and the one with him is Princess Jing."

"King Jing and Princess?" Aju asked in surprise.

Zhao Chen said "hmm".

The queen had two sons in total. The first prince died shortly after he was born. The second prince, Tang Yun, was also weak and sick since he was a child. He was not valued by the emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, the courtiers all speculated whether Tang Yun would be crowned prince. In the end, the emperor only crowned him king of Jing. Let him leave the palace and open the mansion.On the other hand, although Tang Tao, the third prince from the concubine Xian, also came out of the palace to become the king, because his mother and concubine doted on the harem and Tang Tao himself was good at literature and martial arts, he was the most promising prince among the courtiers. The palace of Prince Rui was much more lively than that of Prince Jing up.

Ah Ju had already learned about the princes from Zhao Chen. She just didn't understand why Zhao Chen suddenly mentioned King Jing. Even if she happened to meet the prince and concubine, what did it matter?
Her peach blossom eyes blinked and blinked, eyes full of confusion, Zhao Chen said in a low voice: "When I left the palace today, I met King Jing's mansion who sent someone to deliver a letter to the palace, saying that Princess Jing gave birth to the eldest son of the king's mansion and the first son of the emperor. a grandson."

Ah Ju couldn't help laughing: "This is a good thing."

She herself was looking forward to having a son, and Princess Wen Wan, who happened to meet that day, also gave birth to a son, and she couldn't help being happy for her.

Zhao Chen knew that she would be happy, that's why he told her. He touched his wife's belly again with his big hand, and said softly: "That lamp shop is blessed, the princess will give birth smoothly, and Ah Ju will give birth to a fat boy." He doesn't care about sons and daughters. Since his wife is looking forward to a son, of course he chooses what she likes to hear.

As for the impact of Prince Jing's having a son, that's something he needs to consider.

Zhao Chen just casually talked about this matter, Aju was happy and forgot it for a while, unexpectedly, more than half a month later, King Jing's Mansion sent an invitation card, inviting Mrs. Tai to drink the full moon wine at the manor, and specially called her name Please go with Aju.
