The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 126
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Zhao Yunting had to enter the palace early to pay New Year's greetings.

Although the Qin family is the titled Mrs. Hou, she is entitled to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings, but Zhao Yunting took a leave of absence on the grounds that she was unwell and recuperated at home.

It was just after Yinshi, the room was pitch black, hearing the sound of horseshoes on the street outside, Zhao Chen hugged his wife: "Are you awake?"

Ah Ju nodded.She woke up when Zhao Chen turned over, and only heard the movement from the main room later.

Zhao Chen kissed her forehead, remained silent for a moment, and promised in a low voice: "As long as I make a contribution this year, the emperor will give me the position of heir. At that time, you will become the wife of the heir, and you can enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings next year."

Just like the distribution of the Ning family to the frontier was the order of the former emperor, and it was not easy for the emperor to overthrow it, so he had to work hard to get the position of the eldest son who was abolished by the former emperor.Zhao Chen himself didn't particularly care about that title, but he wanted to let his wife get what she deserved as soon as possible.There is still a difference between the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family and the wife of the Zhao family.

Ah Ju could hear the guilt hidden in the man's words, she leaned against his shoulder and said, "What's so good about going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, I don't think about getting up so early." She was telling the truth.Maybe other wives regard entering the palace as decent, but she doesn't care at all. Braving the severe cold to kneel and kowtow in the palace early in the morning, what kind of dignity is it?

"Stupid." Some things are deeply ingrained, Zhao Chen doesn't expect his wife to understand the meaning of these ceremonies, and he doesn't need her to become like the daughter-in-law of the noble family next to him, she, she just needs to be his little wife.

Zhao Chen smiled silently, and said in a low voice: "Yeah, I didn't think of it so early, with that kind of skill, what to do is not good, Ah Ju, don't you?"

The room was dimly lit, and both of them were out of breath.

Ah Ju opened his eyes first, and secretly looked at Zhao Chen.He didn't rest on a pillow, his usually cold and resolute chin was raised, and his Adam's apple kept rolling, which made her swallow her saliva.His lips were parted, thinking of all the nonsense he said while doing things, Ah Ju wanted to reach out and cover his mouth to see what else he had to say.But it's useless to cover it at this time, Ah Ju despises her fake cleverness after the fact, and moves her gaze upwards to meet Zhao Chen's eyes.

He closed his eyes and stretched his brows, looking very comfortable and enjoying it.

Ah Ju suddenly didn't want to blame him anymore, as long as he didn't always remember those troublesome things, as long as he stopped frowning, she was willing to play around with him.

"Lie down, don't get cold." Ah Ju said complainingly, tugging at his exposed shoulders that were covered by the quilt.

Zhao Chen was surprised by her gentleness, "Aren't you angry?" It was like this before, and it took him to coax her for a while before she would calm down.

Ah Ju lowered her eyes and ignored him.

But it didn't look angry, Zhao Chen thought for a while, and only guessed one reason, he leaned into her ear and said, "You are also very comfortable, aren't you?"

Ah Ju was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pulled all the quilts onto her body, and hung him outside to suffer from the cold.

What kind of person can be involved in that matter by doing something.

Zhao grinned sullenly, and quickly got back under the covers, hugged him and made amends.

Ah Ju was tired, she was really comfortable and didn't feel sleepy, the two of them talked softly, and the sky was completely bright.

Cancan woke up, frowning and about to cry.Zhao Chen asked Ah Ju to lie down, and he got up and brought over the small chamber pot specially prepared for his daughter on the window sill, and then carefully picked up his daughter and shushed her.Cancan rubbed her eyes, turned her head to look for her mother while booing, and grinned when she saw Aju.

Zhao Chen was very appreciative: "I flatter her so much that she doesn't smile at me first."

Ah Ju lay on his side and looked at the father and daughter, and laughed at him: "Then don't worry about it, I heard that other people's fathers don't like to hug their children, why don't they hug their grandchildren?"

"I can hug my daughter as much as I like, who cares?" Zhao Chen didn't care, and waited for his daughter to pee, and handed it to Ah Ju to nurse.

Half an hour later, the family of three went to Xinlanyuan to pay New Year's greetings to Ning, and ate dumplings there by the way.

Mrs. Zhao Yunting came back from the palace when the sun was high. After dinner, Zhao Yunting led a large family to worship at the ancestral hall.

This is also the first time Ah Ju saw Mrs. Tai after the last drug-taking incident.

Madam Tai lost weight and her complexion was not good-looking. When she saw her, Madam Tai had obvious hatred in her eyes, but she quickly looked away after seeing Zhao Chen, as if she had seen a ghost.Ah Ju felt strange, and suddenly wanted to know exactly what Zhao Chen told Mrs. Tai that night. On the way back to Zhuxuan, she tentatively asked Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen just smiled and said nothing.

Ah Ju stopped asking.

In Rongshou Hall, Mrs. Tai asked Zhao Han to come over.

"Why is grandma called Chengan?" Zhao Han asked respectfully.

Mrs. Tai beckoned Zhao Han to stand in front of her, supported his arm and looked at him with a smile: "Chengan is 11 years old, and he has grown a lot taller than last year. At first glance, he looks like an older child. How about it? How is the reading? Are you tired?"

Two grandchildren, when Zhao Chen was just born, Mrs. Tai wanted to keep her eldest grandson by her side, but Mrs. Ning did not agree, and Mrs. Zhao Yunting also refused. Mrs. Tai was unhappy. After Zhao Chen was sensible, he did not get close to her at first, and then left home For many years, there was no love between the grandparents and grandsons.Zhao Han is different. Although he was not raised in Rongshoutang, he was not raised in Weifang Garden. In addition, Zhao Han is the only grandson in the family. Mrs. Tai still cares about Zhao Han. Zhao Yunting If Zhao Han's son-in-law was not given the treatment he deserved, Mrs. Tai would often reward Zhao Han with things.

Zhao Han didn't need Madam Tai's compensation, but his grandmother cared about him, and he was grateful in his heart, so he simply told his grandmother about studying.

Mrs. Tai nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Your elder brother is a martial artist. With his ability, although he can't attack your father's title, it is not impossible to earn a title by himself in the future. As for you, your father should also ask for a title for you in the past two years." Your son is now, you study hard, and you will be like your father in the future, with a title and a real official, you will be very promising."

Zhao Han smiled, but didn't answer.

His father had told him earlier that the Hou Mansion would belong to his eldest brother in the future, so that he could study and take the imperial examination with peace of mind.

Mrs. Tai said again: "Today I entered the palace to see the concubine Xian, and the lady even asked me about you."

Zhao Han was surprised.

Mrs. Tai smiled and explained: "The fifth prince is one year younger than you. The previous companion was caught in the cold a few years ago and disappeared. The emperor wants to choose another companion for the fifth prince from the honorable family. I don't know where the concubine Xian will come from." I heard that you were smart since you were young, so I asked me, and said that after the Spring Festival, the emperor will personally choose a companion for the fifth prince, if you are interested, please prepare well."

Zhao Han's heart beat faster.

Concubine Xian dotes on the harem, and her eldest son, King Rui, is the heir apparent of many courtiers. If, if he can be the companion of King Rui's younger brother, the fifth prince, he can be regarded as King Rui's man.He is young, so he can't help King Rui, but his grandfather has the military power in his hands, and King Rui accepted him as his grandfather's support, so if the elder brother wants to deal with his grandfather, King Rui will definitely not stand by and watch, right?
Zhao Han's thin face slowly turned red with excitement. He knew that he was young, so there must be something wrong with his thinking, but generally there was nothing wrong. This was the only way he could think of to keep his grandfather. If it is over, the mother will not die.

He understands that the eldest brother wants revenge. He doesn't hate the elder brother, but his grandfather and mother are his relatives, and he can't just watch them die.When he grows up, he will live separately and take his mother away, so that he doesn't get in the way of his elder brother, right?Father can divorce his mother, and marry Ning again, as long as his mother lives well.

"Why, does Cheng An want to accompany the fifth prince?" Mrs. Tai asked knowingly.

Zhao Han bowed his head and said humbly: "Cheng'an has limited talents and learning, so he may not be able to win the eyes of the emperor."

Mrs. Tai patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Whether this matter will be successful or not depends on fate. You study hard and you will be the best. It's okay if you fail. Don't take it too seriously. By the way, before this matter comes to fruition, Don’t mention it to your father yet, lest he be happy in vain.”

Zhao Han smiled wryly.

Father……

He wouldn't be happy that he took this path, but he had nowhere to go, so he had to give it a try.

The grandfather and grandson said a few more words, and Zhao Han left and went back to the front yard.

Mrs. Tai looked at the boy's back and smiled.

Since Zhao Chen doesn't recognize her as a grandmother, she also has the right to assume that she doesn't have that eldest grandson. Do you really think that he is the only one who can stand out?Now that Concubine Xian has taken a fancy to Zhao Han, she will train this second-in-law with all her heart, and one day she will overwhelm his arrogance.

Before evening, the sky was overcast.

Ah Ju read the gifts she was going to bring back to her mother's house tomorrow, and went into the room and said, "Is it going to snow? It only snowed once this year."

Zhao Chen was sitting on the bed teasing his daughter, when he heard the words, he replied casually: "Don't worry, I will accompany you back to your mother's house tomorrow."

"That's not what I meant." Ah Ju defended guiltily when his thoughts were seen through.

"Then what do you mean?" Zhao Chen raised his head, looked at her and smiled.

Ah Ju angrily gathered her daughter's cotton socks into balls and threw them at him.

Zhao Chen took it with a smile, and put it in Cancan's hands for her to play with. The father and daughter whispered: "Your mother can't say no to me, and she became angry from embarrassment."

Cancan grinned, grabbed the sock and stuffed it into his mouth, Zhao Chen laughed at her again: "My socks don't smell bad, do they?" He grabbed the other end of the sock to prevent his daughter from eating it.

Cancan tried hard to fight with his father, his little face gradually turned red, Zhao Chen didn't care, that's how his daughter was when she was a child, he thought that he would let her play when his daughter was about to cry.Hearing the voice, Ah Ju felt something was wrong, walked over to look at her daughter, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound in his daughter's cotton trousers.

The kang head has a faint taste.

Ah Ju was dumbfounded, this was the first time her daughter did it to her father.

"Are you going to stand there and watch?" Zhao Chen asked holding his breath, holding the back of his daughter's head with one hand, and still pulling the sock with the other.Cancan didn't compete with her father, as if she knew she had done something wrong, she obediently remained motionless, staring at her father with big eyes blinking.

Ah Ju suppressed her smile, turned around to pick up the packed things, and heard her husband complaining aggrievedly behind her: "I finally understand that Cancan has everything for you, and I just say a word to you, and she will help you teach me a lesson."

Ah Ju finally couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed out loud while clutching her stomach.
