Hot Princess: The Prince Came to Hidden Marriage

Chapter 20 What I Want

"There is nothing to miss in Chang'an City..."

Zhou Chen stared at the fish swimming in the lotus pond, and threw a stone down, causing ripples, and the fish were startled back.

Gu Changsheng, from the moment you return to Chang'an City, your life must be here.

"Eleventh, follow me into the palace." Zhou Chen turned around and walked a little faster.

Yesterday, Gu Changsheng went to Peach Blossom Debt to make a fuss, so he sent someone to notify Gu Xiang.I wanted to teach her a lesson, and stop molesting girls in those fireworks places.Unexpectedly, Changsheng would calmly arrange such a big show today, and with a few words, the Queen Mother's power gained a foothold in Gu's residence.

Gu Changsheng, if you don't want to stay in Chang'an, all this is out of your control.

……

The Empress Dowager was washing up after a nap, and was a little surprised to hear that Zhou Chen had come.

"Xiao Wu is here, it's really rare." The queen mother smiled, a little surprised.

Nanny Yu combed the Queen Mother's hair, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is happy, you have only been back to the palace for two days, and the prince is here."

Some time ago, the queen mother went to another palace to escape the summer heat, and she just came back not long ago.I didn't want to see anyone, so I didn't let anyone come over to say hello.But when King Shou came, the queen mother still saw it.

Among the juniors in the palace, the Queen Mother likes Zhou Chen the most.

His Majesty has five sons in total, King Shou Zhou Shen is the youngest, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, so the Queen Mother should cherish him more.

By the time the queen mother washed up and went out, Zhou Chen had already used up a cup of tea.

"Grandmother went to the palace to escape the summer heat for a month, and she looks much better." Zhou Chen walked over and helped the queen mother to sit down.

The queen mother gave him a sideways look, and smiled lovingly, "Xiao Wu, you never say such flattering words, and today your mouth is so sweet, maybe you have something to ask for mourning."

"What can I do." Zhou Chen sat down, leaned on the empress dowager's lap affectionately, and said casually, "I just miss you a little."

The Empress Dowager caressed his hair, and said: "You are not too young after all, this behavior is still like a child, which makes outsiders see it as a joke."

These words are conniving, not harsh at all.

"Grandmother and father dote on me, who dares to say I'm wrong." Zhou Chen said lazily.

After a while, the queen mother sighed faintly, "Your elder brother and second elder brother are both sons and daughters. Seeing that the third child is about to get married, you are the only one who has not been found yet. Xiao Wu, the Ai family loves you so much." .”

In fact, the old Sisi Lang was not married either, but the old fourth was wild, and with his mother and concubine around, the queen mother didn't bother much about it.

"Grandmother, didn't my father make an appointment for me when I was a child?" Zhou Chen opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips, "Then I should, and grandma won't worry about me."

Yes, Xiao Wu was engaged.

The Empress Dowager's complexion gradually changed, turning a little pale.When Qing'er was alive, he promised Xiao Wu longevity.

But the marriage that was happily arranged back then, how could she have imagined that Qing'er would die of illness later, so that things were different.

"Xiao Wu, that marriage is not counted." The queen mother said firmly: "When your fourth brother chooses a concubine, the Ai family will also find one for you."

"Grandmother." Zhou Chen sat up slowly, looked at the empress dowager's ugly face, and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager seemed a little tired, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Little Wu, step back now. Don't mention that marriage again. After a while, the Ai family will definitely match you with the best girl."

Nanny Yu went to help the Queen Mother into the room, poured a cup of tea and brought it over, and said worriedly: "Mother, let her go about the past."

"Ayu, the Ai family really wants to go back and have a look." The queen mother closed her eyes, leaving two lines of tears, "But the Ai family has no face to go back."

Back then, she had already made a choice between her husband's family and her family, and Qing'er died in Chang'an City again.Qing'er was the only daughter of her elder brother, and she died in Chang'an just like that.But she can't even pursue it, all this is for the royal family!
"Your Majesty has sent a message, Miss is back." Nanny Yu handed over the handkerchief and said softly.

The queen mother wiped her tears and said with a firm expression: "The Ai family couldn't protect Qing'er back then, and now they must keep Changsheng safe and sound, otherwise the Ai family will not have the face to meet the ancestors of the Cui family after death."

"The matter that Prince Shou mentioned just now..." Nanny Yu hesitated to speak, looking very worried.

The queen mother clutched the handkerchief, thought for a while and said: "Changsheng must not marry the Zhou family. The Ai family has made their own decision on this matter. You order it, and no one is allowed to mention that marriage in the future."

There were not many people who knew about that marriage, and Madam Yu knew in her heart that everyone who knew would be silenced.

……

After Zhou Chen returned to the mansion, his mood was always gloomy, so that the servants in the mansion were silent.

He originally wanted to ask the Queen Mother to marry him, and directly asked Gu Changsheng to marry him, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother's attitude to be so firm.

There must be something strange in this, how did Cui Qing die back then!The Cui family of Qinghe is so imposing, and Cui Qing is the eldest daughter of the Cui family, so his status is so honorable.

After she passed away, no one from the Cui family came to Chang'an City to express their condolences, and there was a strange feeling everywhere.

While Zhou was pondering, Wang Qiao came to the study.

"My lord, this is the list of candidates for the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, please have a look." Wang Qiao presented a list.

Zhou Chen glanced at the names on the list, and picked up a pen to tick off a few.

It was still two months before the selection of the young minister of Dali Temple, they had plenty of time to prepare, and everything was in their minds.

"Uncle Qiao, have you seen Cui Qing?" Zhou Chen searched his memory countless times, but it still had no effect on her.

When Cui Qing died of illness, he was just eighteen, and he was recuperating elsewhere.Even when his mother was still around, he didn't seem to have seen Cui Qing.

"Miss Cui and Miss are still close friends in the boudoir." Wang Qiao recalled and said, "It's just that after Miss married into the palace, the two gradually stopped seeing each other. Miss Cui was just like Chang'an back then, and she was famous in Beijing."

"Beautiful?" Zhou Chen asked again.

Wang Qiao shook his head, "In terms of looks, Ms. Cui is not a character, but in terms of demeanor, no one in Chang'an City can compare."

Zhou Chen thought of Gu Changsheng and stopped talking.

"To Miss Gu..." Wang Qiao asked tentatively.

Ever since Gu Changsheng entered Chang'an, Zhou Chen treated her very strangely.But if you think about it carefully, it's not considered emotional.Then what is the reason for paying so much attention?Wang Ye is by no means the kind of person who is emotional, Wang Qiao knows it all too well.

"She has what I want." Zhou Chen glanced at Wang Qiao with deep and distant eyes.

Wang Qiao was startled, and said in a low voice, "You mean that thing?"

Zhou Chen nodded, "What my father said to me back then, there is absolutely nothing wrong."
