Lady Zhao

Chapter 62

At the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, a low-key and luxurious carriage was waiting.Zhao Yuanli sent the two of them out, Gu Jing walked at the front, Zhao Yuanli took a step to take care of Yongping, and walked side by side with her.Zhao Yuanjin, who came back from the outside, smelled of alcohol, didn't even look at the people at the door, and was about to go inside when he bumped into Princess Yongping dressed up as a servant, and immediately said in a bad mood, "Good dogs don't block the way !"

"Yuan Jin!" Zhao Yuanli quickly blocked it with his hands so as not to embarrass Princess Yongping, and his face darkened and he shouted.

Zhao Yuanjin was unhappy, and he didn't have a good attitude when he looked at Zhao Yuanli, who had always been unpleasant, and said without hindrance. "However, a slave brother has to protect him like this. Could it be that there is some ulterior trick in it, I didn't see that you are so good, brother!"

After all, just as he was about to stretch out his hand and push it a second time, someone grabbed his wrist tightly from behind and clasped it behind his back, causing pain like a broken bone.Zhao Yuanjin wailed twice, cursing and cursing: "Which one who is tired of working dares to touch this young master at the gate of the Duke's mansion...don't die!"

When he turned his head and saw the shooter, Zhao Yuanjin froze, "666... ​​the Sixth Prince." He woke up a lot from the drunkenness, and immediately fell down, "I made a slip of the tongue after drinking, and I hope the Sixth Prince forgives...forgive me." !"

Seeing his useless side, Gu Jingxing was in contrast with Zhao Yuanli, and even more contemptuous, he let go of his hands without hiding the disgust in his eyes, as if throwing away some dirty things, he protected Yongping and got on the carriage.

Zhao Yuanjin had escaped, and was heaving a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of the servant on the carriage glaring at him, wishing he could slap him twice, this is no servant, it is clearly the Princess Yongping whom he saw at the Qionghua Banquet , I was talking nonsense just now, I really made my head muddy with wine!
On the carriage, from the corner of his eyes Yongping saw that man's expression turned from green to white, he felt a little happy, but the longer the man stared, he became somewhat irregular, Princess Yongping felt displeased when she noticed it, she wanted to watch two more Seeing brother Yuanli, he had to draw down the curtains and sulked while sitting in the carriage. This Zhao Yuanjin is really hateful!
At the door, Zhao Yuanli watched the carriage go away, turned his head to Zhao Yuanjin who had a complex expression on his face, and confessed, "The princess is here to see Wanwan, don't spread the word." After saying that, he turned and entered the mansion.

The rest of Zhao Yuanjin rubbed his still aching wrist with one hand, stared at Zhao Yuanli's back with a gloomy expression, came to see why Zhao Wenwan had to dress up like that, and saw that the princess had a clear expression on Zhao Yuanli's affection. Although the elder brother ruined a marriage, he could follow this momentum If she continues to develop, she will become a son-in-law, and still the most beloved Princess Yongping. The more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy. How can a person who is already stuck in the mire climb out again!
Zhao Yuanjin, who felt unbalanced because of Zhao Yuanli's popularity recently, was now full of jealousy and resentment, and returned to his garden with an angry look on his face.

It was also a coincidence that Mrs. Ye was worried about his affairs these days, and came to watch him from time to time. Zhao Yuanjin had just stepped in the door, and before he could wash himself off to hide the smell of alcohol on his body, Mrs. Ye caught him.

"Going to drink with those gangsters again, you forgot how you responded to me a while ago, why did you refuse to listen to me so often!" Smelling the smell of alcohol, Mrs. Ye was so angry that she picked up the wine on the shelf at hand. The vase fell on Zhao Yuanjin's feet to vent the fire.

"Mom, I've been bored for several days. I just got together with my friends. It's not what you think!" Zhao Yuanjin argued for himself while dodging.

Ye Shi stared at him suspiciously, not completely believing it, Zhao's mother hurriedly interceded for mercy, for fear that Ye Shi would be furious and beat Zhao Yuanjin badly.

Zhao Yuanjin was aggrieved by what Zhao's mother said, and before he lost face at the door, he beat and scolded Mrs. Ye in front of his servant Yuanzi. , "All of you think Zhao Yuanli is good, but it's not your own."

"Oh, my young master, what are you talking about? You want to piss off Madam." Mother Zhao quickly turned around to appease Zhao Yuanjin, "Madam is doing everything for you. Look, you can't do it these days and nights." Sleep well, and you've lost a lot of weight."

Zhao Yuanjin finished speaking in a moment of impulsiveness, and felt a little regretful, so he didn't say a word.

Ye looked at it coldly, her heart ached, she had already made Zhao Yuanli fall into a quagmire, and she tried her best to teach her own children, how could there be such a deviation, the one who was suppressed was getting better and better, and the one who was suppressed was getting better and better. Yuan Jin, however, became more and more disobedient to his own teachings, what he was not allowed to do, and his heart was broken.

Zhao Yuanjin was chilled by that look, and he was used to Ye's always strict teaching, so he felt a little uneasy, and rarely took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Mother, don't be angry, I just got angry with my elder brother outside, and I'm holding back If you are on fire, what you say is out of anger, if you can't do it seriously, don't take it to heart."

"What are you making trouble with Zhao Yuanli again?" Ye Shi frowned and asked after hearing this.

"It wasn't me who made the trouble. Zhao Yuanli is flattering the Sixth Prince right now, and he doesn't know what he is chewing in front of the Sixth Prince, so that the Sixth Prince doesn't like me, so he will be angry with me together. If it wasn't for the boy's cleverness, he might suffer some disadvantages." What about it?" Zhao Yuanjin picked himself up, turning black and white.

She also heard about the fact that the sixth prince came to the mansion and stayed with Zhao Yuanli all morning. She was bitter at first, but now she heard that she was going to save her with her villain's heart, so she naturally believed Zhao Yuanjin's words, and waved back with a sullen brow. The waiter left the house, leaving mother Zhao and Zhao Yuanjin behind, and said in a deep voice, "Now Zhao Yuanli is highly valued by your father, if you continue to curry favor with the sixth prince, I am afraid it will be difficult to match in the future, and it is useless to blame you for not studying hard now." It doesn't help. Yuan Jin, mother has been frightened and hidden from the old lady's eyes and ears all these years, and put medicine in your elder brother's soup, thinking that it will give you enough time for you to grow, but you...disappointed me so much. "

Zhao Yuanjin was also taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect his mother's touch in his eldest brother's illness, so he heard Mrs. Ye continue to say quietly, "I should be glad that Mrs. Shen died early, otherwise I will not only step on you at this moment It's on the head."

"Mother..." Zhao Yuanjin was really heartbroken seeing Mrs. Ye, and was quite at a loss.Zhao's mother pressed his shoulder and comforted him, "Ma'am, the young master understands your painstaking efforts, so naturally I won't make you sad anymore. Don't make it difficult for yourself, young master, do you think so?"

"Yes, mother!" Zhao Yuanjin hurriedly echoed, took the handkerchief from mother Zhao and knelt down to wipe away Ye's tears, "Although the child is not as promising as the elder brother, but it will definitely let the mother depend on her old age, no I don't want you to worry about it anymore."

As a result, Ye Shi's frowning brows loosened a bit, and she stared at Zhao Yuanjin carefully, seeing that he looked serious, and sighed, "Get up, mother will trust you for the last time, you have also reached the age of marriage, and I will give you some advice later." Pick a girl from an aristocratic family, choose a good marriage, and let your father change his mind, so don't be confused."

"...Well." Even if he didn't want to in his heart, Zhao Yuanjin knew that now was not the time to object, so he responded appropriately, but what he was thinking about was the voice and appearance of Princess Yongping in the carriage just now.

Seeing that he was willing to be taught, Mrs. Ye felt a little more at ease, beat the maid who was serving Zhao Yuanjin in the garden, and then led Mother Zhao back to Shaonian Garden.

Immediately, a servant girl came in to clean up the broken tiles on the floor. Zhao Yuanjin glanced at the girl's bending over, and thought that his illness was not cured, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.His expression was different from Ye Shi's obedient look when he was there. At this moment, he was full of hostility, repeating the three words Zhao Yuanli in his heart, and gnashing his teeth.

There was a trace of complaint in my heart that Mrs. Ye was not ruthless in her attack. It would not be so much trouble to kill people early. My father valued it, and the sixth prince appreciated it. Now even Princess Yongping favors it. Those ugly rumors did not put this The person was crushed, but he stood up again, and even stepped on his head.

Women and Taoists are always kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and they can't accomplish great things. This time, he will definitely make Zhao Yuanli unable to turn over again.

Zhao Yuanli, who had just stepped into Qingfengju, couldn't help but sneezed hard. Zhao Wenwan listened to the movement, and came out with a hand warmer with chiseled blessing characters in his hand, and stuffed it into his hand, "Why have you been here for so long?"

"I met Yuan Jin on the road and said a few words." Zhao Yuanli said with a warm smile, holding the hand warmer in his hand to dispel the chill from his whole body.

Zhao Wenwan didn't have a good impression of Zhao Yuanjin, so she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she took her eldest brother to look at the debut work left by the princess with great interest, "Princess Yongping is quite talented, look at this imitation of my elder brother's artistic conception is still a bit decent." After finishing speaking, he deliberately paused, looked at his elder brother and said slowly, "According to me, only those who have put their heart into it can draw such a feeling."

Zhao Yuanli was afraid to meet Zhao Wenwan's inquiring eyes, coughed dryly and landed on the painting, "When did Wanwan understand painting?"

"What I understand is not painting, but human heart." Zhao Wenwan said with a deep expression.

Zhao Yuanli couldn't help laughing, and tapped a pen on her forehead, "Stop teasing your elder brother."

Zhao Wenwan grinned, hugged Zhao Yuanli's arm and asked the bottom line, "Then elder brother, tell me what you think of the princess, is there any emotion?"

Zhao Yuanli had an extra "hand pendant", and it was quite inconvenient to do things. He was helpless to meet Zhao Wenwan's stubborn eyes, so he simply put down his pen and straightened his expression.

"Before asking me, should I ask what's going on between you and the Sixth Prince, and what's going on with Jin Ping Mei?"

Zhao Wenwan paused for a moment, only to feel that an arrow had been shot in his knee, and the corner of his mouth froze in a smile. He pulled his grandmother and asked himself to accompany him for dinner. After a dry laugh, he ran away.
