National Beauty

On the day of the princess and the princess, Zhao Heng deliberately returned to the mansion an hour in advance. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the carriage, he learned from the guard that someone gave his little princess a gift today, or an old friend who refused to be named. Zhao Heng sent someone to check the princess's life experience. At least, he couldn't think of any acquaintances with the princess.

"Check." Zhao Heng said lightly.

The guards checked it at that time, and eventually found that the person giving the gift turned out to be a beggar who was instructed to give the gift by others. As for the person's name and name, who looked like and lived there, the beggar didn't know at all, and the clue was completely broken. But this suffices to show that the person giving the gift is definitely not the princess's old friend.

Zhao Heng's eyes sank slightly, and after changing his robe, he immediately went to the backyard. When the maids were saluting, he had already stepped into the hall.

After Song Jianing became pregnant, the prince would not allow her to go out to greet her again. At this time, when he heard him, Song Jianing looked at the peony flower hairpin in the box, and his thoughts were transferred. When Zhao Heng walked into the inner room, Song Jianing also recovered his usual look. . Leaving the seat, Song Jianing said to a man in a light gray robe: "The prince came just right. Today someone claimed to be me to hand in a gift of Eli Lilly, but I have no acquaintance to give this kind of hairpin..."

Zhao Heng stared at her, misty eyes.

Song Jianing tried to pretend to be a fool, and looked at him blankly asking for help.

Zhao Heng already knew her temperament and knew that she was simple and simple, and now Song Jianing took the initiative to confess, Zhao Heng no longer doubted her, and looked down at the box in Shuang'er's hand. Peony hairpins are luxurious and exquisite. Any ruby ​​is invaluable. The person who gives the gift must be the rich and the rich. At this moment, several figures flashed through Zhao Heng's mind, all of them were men who had seen her true face, and in the end there was only one Guo Xiao left.

Zhao Heng has no evidence, but he has reason to suspect that Guo Xiao framed her twice before destroying her reputation, either because of his step-brother's dislike for his stepsister, or because of a man's possessive desire for stunning beauties. As soon as the hairpin that has been pleased now appears, if Guo Xiao really did it, then Guo Xiao's thoughts about her are clear.

"Do you like it?" Zhao Heng asked her, her voice calm.

Song Jianing frowned and said, "Although hairpins are good, I don't want them from unknown sources."

That hairpin is really beautiful. This is a fact. Song Jianing felt that she blindly disliked it, and it would be easy for the prince to suspect.

Zhao Heng frowned when he heard the words, and told the two children: "It's ruined."

It was not thrown away, but ruined. The simple two words suffice to show his dislike for this hairpin. Shuang'er was inexplicably scared, and responded, immediately closed the box and carried it out, and handed it to Liu Xi who was guarding outside. Liu Xi will work hard, and knowing that the prince is going to destroy the hairpin, naturally there are thousands of ways to take the box and leave.

In the inner room, Zhao Heng walked to the desk and sat down.

Song Jianing could see that he was very upset now, and guessed the reason, which man could allow other men to give jewelry to please his wife? Following him, Song Jianing bitterly said while pouring tea for him: "Master, the other party hides his head and hides his tail and sends me a hairpin. Some people may gossiping about it. Let's ask someone to look it up?"

Zhao Heng looked at the tea in front of him, and the coldness on his face became more obvious.

He checked it, and there was no suspicious target, but there was no evidence, even if there was, it was related to her fame, he really pursued it, and she was the most affected. The father didn’t like her at all. Zhao Heng could no longer let any gossip that was not conducive to her. Guo Boyan warned him once, and Guo Boyan also tried to teach his son. It was Guo Xiao...

A trace of hostility appeared in Zhao Heng's eyes.

It was the first time that Song Jianing saw such a gloomy prince. He was so frightened that he stood beside him stiffly, not daring to move nor to make a sound. Zhao Heng returned to his senses and saw her being afraid and careful, thinking that today is a good day for her and Hu, and it is not her fault to be entangled, so he temporarily suppressed the hostility, smiled, and reached out to her. .

He smiled like a cold winter and the twelfth lunar month suddenly turned into a warm spring in March, Song Jianing felt calm, his legs were not stiff, only a little confused to hand over to him, do not understand how he changed so much before and after. Zhao Heng took the person to his lap and sat, his sleeves flicked, and a long and narrow jewelry box appeared in his hand.

Song Jianing covered her mouth in surprise, this, is this a gift from the prince?

She was so happy just seeing the box, as if he gave her a bare box more satisfying than the peony hairpin that the person gave her. Zhao Heng's depression suddenly disappeared, and he motioned her to take out the gift with his eyes. Song Jianing nodded excitedly, took the box, gently opened the lid, and saw a phoenix hairpin made of pure gold inside. The hairpin is an auspicious cloud, and a ruby ​​is hidden in the cloud. A red golden phoenix stands above the auspicious cloud. There is a ruby ​​in the mouth of the phoenix, and the eyes are also made of rubies. No matter the price, the carving work or the meaning, it is far better than that peony flower hairpin.

Song Jianing saw the gods, likes this exquisite phoenix hairpin, and prefers the person who gave it. He is her father-in-law who has worshipped heaven and earth, and she is an upright man. The hairpin he gave, she can wear it out happily. Don't have any concerns.

"Do you like it?" Zhao Heng asked around her waist.

Song Jianing nodded to the hairpin, took out the hairpin with a small hand, and couldn't help touching it. He liked it and couldn't see him anymore.

This kind of liking is from the heart and soul at first glance, and will never be adulterated.

Zhao Heng also likes it very much. He likes her contented appearance. He is the only princess who likes herself.

"Put it on." Zhao Heng whispered.

Song Jianing was awakened by him, glanced at him, boldly handed the hairpin to him, Jiaojiao said, "Lord, help me."

Zhao Heng smiled faintly, raised his hand, and slowly inserted the hairpin into her thick black hair.

Song Jianing wanted to look in the mirror. Just about to move, he caught a glimpse of his admiring eyes. Song Jianing blushed, lowered his head slightly, holding the jade pendant around his waist with a small hand, and asked carefully: "Okay, does it look good?"

For the first time in two lifetimes, she was so cheeky in front of a man.

"The country and the city." Zhao Heng lifted her chin and kissed the red lips directly.

Soon after Song Jianing finished the ceremony and the ceremony, as soon as he entered June, news of the defeat of Emperor Xuande came to the north, and the whole dynasty was shocked.

Zhao Heng started to sleep in the front yard again, but he would accompany Song Jianing with dinner every night. During the day when he went to the palace as a errand, Song Jianing listened to the news from Shuang'er and the others. It is said that Emperor Xuande had two arrows in the thigh. Song Jianing was secretly frightened. When Shuang'er mentioned in a proud tone that Guo Xiao had endured the pain of cutting flesh and drawing arrows without changing his face without tying his face, Song Jianing only felt chilled. .

The first cold Guo Xiao could endure the suffering that ordinary people couldn't endure, the second cold Guo Xiao actually made great achievements in saving driving, and he will definitely become the celebrity in front of Emperor Xuande. I am afraid that the credit of his stepfather for so many years is no better than Guo Xiao's life-saving grace. Song Jianing was originally afraid of Guo Xiao, and thought that marrying King Shou would be able to sit back and relax, but he didn't expect Guo Xiao to give up on her and became stronger.

Fortunately, his injury was so serious that he seemed to have to recuperate in Zhuozhou for half a year before returning to Beijing. Song Jianing touched his stomach and felt relieved at the thought that the child had been born at that time.

The battle with Liao was provoked by the Great Zhou. Now that the battle is defeated, the Liao will not give up easily. Emperor Xuande expected that the Liao army would counterattack and stayed in Zhuozhou until July to arrange defense matters. This was ahead of schedule. Back to Beijing. The emperor returned to Beijing, the uncle Qin, the second prince Rui, the third prince Shouwang, and the fourth prince Gong Wang led the hundred officials out of the city to meet them, but Luanjia never stopped and drove directly into the city gate.

No need to remind, everyone knows that Emperor Xuande is not happy at this time, and the court is cautiously speaking and doing things, lest he anger the emperor.

At the end of July, Princess Rui gave birth to a daughter, and Emperor Xuande got the news, and his face became more stinky.

In mid-August, the Liao State sent troops to invade the Zhou Dynasty. Guo Boyan and Handa jointly fought a beautiful blockade and shook the Liao army back, forcing them not to dare to commit another crime. Only then did Emperor Xuande put away his cold face and finally revealed himself in the morning. Smile. The emperor smiled, which meant that the civil and military officials could take a breath. At the beginning of the war, at the end of August, Guo Boyan led the imperial army back to Beijing, and the privy envoy Cao Yu wrote a letter, asking the emperor to reward the meritorious soldiers who defeated the Jin Dynasty and fought against the Liao.

Those who have done meritorious deeds will be rewarded and those who have done demerit will be punished.

Emperor Xuande deducted all the memorials that asked him to reward the three armies, and did not respond. Cao Yu had no choice but to ask the emperor's nephew, Wu'an Junwang, to intercede for the soldiers in front of Emperor Xuande. Why don't you look for King Chu, because King Chu didn't participate in the battle against Jin and didn't have a stand to speak. Wu'an County King is also a military commander, and he always cherishes his soldiers. After hearing what Cao Yu said, he immediately went into the palace.

"The emperor, the imperial court has issued military regulations to reward merits. In April, the soldiers have made merits. If the imperial court does not reward them, they may complain and make the army unstable." Wu'an County Wang said sincerely.

Emperor Xuande lowered his head to review the memorial and approved three consecutive letters. He looked up at the nephew opposite and smiled ironically: "This matter, don't worry, it won't be too late for you to reward you when you become the emperor."

When the King Wu'an heard this, he blushed on the spot, wanting to say something, facing the sulky gaze of his uncle, the King Wuan wanted to understand one thing. It turned out that my uncle had long known that Yao Song and Lu Yun were going to support his enthronement in the chaos that day, but my uncle had been holding back for three full months, and he had been holding back until today before he found a chance to vent.

His uncle was jealous of him for three months.

Regarding the throne, he has a hundred mouths longer, and I am afraid that he will not be able to clear the suspicion that he is going to usurp the throne in his uncle's heart.

Jun Wang Wu'an didn't have a hundred mouths, and he didn't know what else to say. He bowed to Emperor Xuande, turned around and walked halfway, suddenly bowed his head, and slammed into the pillar of the main hall on one side! He wouldn't say it, but he would do it. When he died, his uncle would believe him. Anyway, he was immortal, and his uncle was jealous, and the whole family had no good life.

Suddenly, Emperor Xuande got up, and rushed to his nephew with the great **** Wang En, and saw the blood on the forehead of Jun Wang Wu'an, staring at Emperor Xuande with his eyes open, and his lips trembled, as if he had something to say. In the end, he couldn't say a word, his head crooked, and he went. Xuande emperor was shocked and threw himself on his nephew, crying, regretful. He just felt unhappy and blurted out for a while, how could his nephew...

On one side, Wang En secretly glanced at Emperor Xuande, and instantly lowered his eyes.
