The reborn sycophant

Chapter 136 The Secret

Zhao Ji let go of her hand, suppressed his anger and said: "Although she is not my biological mother, she has always treated me better than my biological mother. How can you say that about her in front of me?"

With his hands empty, Wei Chuyan paused, leaned to his side, touched Zhao Ji's arm, and seemed to have found a support.Her actions dissipated the anger that Zhao Ji had accumulated just now, Zhao Ji snorted coldly, and held her hand tightly again.

"I know that she treats you well. If I want to choose someone who treats you best in the world, I dare not say that I am ahead of the empress. But there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the empress is not yours." Birth mother, if she treats you well because you are her sister's child, then you must know that the most important thing your mother lacks is brothers and sisters. Wan Zhaohua alone has many children. If those people do not follow their status And just from the blood relationship with the empress, is there a big difference from you?"

After walking for so long, even if I walked slowly, I could almost see the arch of Taoyuan at this time, and there were a bunch of people standing there, all waiting for the emperor.Zhao Ji thought that what the two said at the moment could not be heard by them, so he turned abruptly and walked back with Wei Chuyan.

Wei Chuyan was confused by her: "Aren't you rushing back to the bedroom?"

"Suddenly I feel that the flowers here are very beautiful, so let's take a closer look."

When Zhao Ji said this, Wei Chuyan showed a regretful expression: "Unfortunately, I couldn't see it. This morning, I heard those palace people say that a new peach garden was opened in the palace, and it was said to be in good condition. I asked them to bring me here, thinking that even if I couldn't see it, it would be good to touch the petals and smell the fragrance of the flowers. It's just that you said the flowers look good now, so I really want to see them."

Earlier, when Zhao Ji asked her why she came here, she said that she was hiding from Zhao Ji. Of course, this is not true, because peach blossoms are the symbol of Zhao Ji. When she heard that peach blossoms bloom beautifully, she could not help but to see.

It was like this when she got up in the morning, and she couldn't help running over after hearing the palace man say a few more words.

Zhao Ji comforted her: "Didn't you say that your eyes will be healed in a few days? Although the peach blossoms look different every day, there are many varieties of peach trees here, and the flowering periods are also different. These few days are the most beautiful ones. , There will be new trees ushering in flowering in a few days, so you don't have to feel sorry, because you can always see it."

She pulled Wei Chuyan to the stone table in the garden and sat down, suddenly clicked her tongue lightly, and asked Wei Chuyan, "Does the peach blossom here smell good?"

Wei Chuyan seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, and nodded with a blushing face. Suddenly there was a gust of fragrant wind in front of him. Zhao Ji leaned in front of Wei Chuyan and said without any shyness: "Then, is it me who smells good or peach blossoms?" smell good?"

Wei Chuyan's cheeks turned even redder, and the indifference that she wanted to "reward" with Zhao Ji just now had disappeared, she lowered her head, and said falteringly, "Zi Shi, Zi Shi, you smell good."

Zhao Ji smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and took a bite on her red face.

"You like peach trees, and I like plum blossoms. You only heard that there are peach groves here, but you don't know that I ordered people to build a large plum garden. When the plum blossoms bloom in the twelfth lunar month, it will definitely be the second most beautiful scenery in the world. "

Wei Chuyan's heart was slightly sweet, but after hearing her say that it was only the second most beautiful in the world, he couldn't help asking her: "Then what is the most beautiful scenery in the world?"

"It's you." Zhao Ji took her hand and kissed the back of her hand again: "It's you, Wei Chuyan."

It's good to be young, and it's unbearable to be clingy.Wei Chuyan coughed lightly, quickly withdrew his hand, put his back behind his back, and changed the subject abruptly: "Aren't we still talking about the Wan family just now?"

Zhao Ji looked at her with a smile: "You say."

"Your Majesty's affection for you is very sincere, but I am worried that she has the same deep affection for the Wan family. After the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager was close to her own people. This is a common emotion that people have. Throughout the dynasties, such things There are too many. Most of those empress dowagers are the emperor's biological mothers, but later, it was they who led to the dictatorship of foreign relatives."

Zhao Ji listened, and his face gradually became serious: "Actually, what you are worried about is not unreasonable, but I was raised by my mother from a baby, not to mention, without her teaching and dedication, even with you, I would not It's also very difficult to have today. As for who she will choose between Wan Jia and me, there is one thing that you don't know, if you know, you won't have this kind of confusion."

Wei Chuyan was no longer confused at this time, but since Zhao Ji said this, she became interested and listened attentively.

"That year you were fifteen, and when you returned to your hometown for the New Year, didn't your family want to marry you?"

Wei Chuyan nodded. At that time, she was still hesitant about whether to try again with Zhao Ji, and even almost agreed to marry her family. If her grandfather did not do too much at that time, I am afraid that she would really want to marry Qing Yuan. Engaged.

But thinking about it now, with this vinegar jar, even if she got engaged at that time, she might not get married in the end——Zhao Ji had already decided on her at that time.

"Actually, I know. Because you are discussing marriage with cousin Qing Yuan, so after my uncle wrote a letter to my mother, he wanted to ask for a marriage decree to make Qing Yuan's marriage more beautiful... At that time, she was already married. At seventeen, I missed the best age to get married, and my uncle was afraid that she would be looked down upon by the future wife-lord, so I begged her from my mother's place."

Wei Chuyan knew that Zhao Ji knew about the fact that she almost married someone, and Zhao Ji had a fight with her because of it when she returned to Chang'an, but she was not very clear about the joints, and she didn't know that Zhao Ji knew so many details.

"At that time, the queen mother didn't agree. Not only did she not agree, she also planned to suppress the marriage for me. It's just that you blew it first, and the queen mother didn't do anything."

"So you see, in fact, the queen mother has always been able to distinguish who is more important in her heart."

Wei Chuyan had countless thoughts in her mind, and finally they all turned into sighs. She already knew now that the most important thing in the empress's heart is Zhao Ji. Listening to Zhao Ji talking about those things in the past, her mood was a little agitated.

"Yes, I didn't know it at the time, but after I went to Southern Border, I gradually saw everything clearly."

"Did something happen to you in southern Xinjiang that I don't know about?"

"It's not like what happened. It's just that a year ago, after the empress's condition stabilized, she had a conversation with me." Wei Chuyan felt Zhao Ji's gaze on him, and touched the dragon pendant on his waist , decided to tell her everything: "I am preventing the Wan family from becoming bigger, and the empress is actually also guarding against me. A long time ago, before we went to southern Xinjiang and before you ascended the throne, the empress was actually guarding against me. me."

Zhao Ji knew about this, but on the left was the queen mother, and on the right was Wei Chuyan, not to mention which one she could not favor, but that even if she wanted to favor one, the two could fight evenly without her help.

Compared with these two people, she was too immature at that time, and she didn't have much right to speak.

"I had a few debates with my empress, and in the end, I won. In fact, if Qingyuan didn't make a sudden bet, my empress would probably have compromised, but she wanted to see how much I could do for you, so I I did it."

Spring was humid and cool, Zhao Ji sat at the stone table for a while, feeling a bit chilly, she touched her arm, the palace servants in the distance saw her, immediately ran over and put the cloak on her, and quickly retreated.Wei Chuyan felt that there was a stranger, and his body tensed for a moment. Zhao Ji pressed her hand and told her that it was just a palace servant.

"Then how did you convince my mother?"

"Actually, I just pointed out one thing. I told my mother that Wei Chuyan was not dragged down by other relatives, and was only a lonely family that my parents wanted to support. Even if I became big and gained monstrous power, I would not be able to pass it on to the second generation. Go. But if Wanjia grows bigger, it might grow to the point where it can threaten you."

Zhao Ji suddenly realized: "No wonder you have to make sure that the queen mother values ​​me more than Wanjia."

"Yes, if she valued Wan Jia more, then my words would be of no use except to confirm that she wants to get rid of me. But if she valued you more, who she brought up with one hand and who lived with her in the palace, , she will definitely consider what I said."

Hearing Wei Chuyan's words, Zhao Ji thought about something, and his face was a bit weird, but Wei Chuyan didn't see the surprise in her eyes: "The mother, she...she is rarely in front of me. Mention the Wan family. I'm guessing, I'm just guessing, in fact, my mother and concubine may not trust my uncle, nor may she like her relatives very much."

Amidst Wei Chuyan's doubts, she went on and on: "It's true that my mother needs the support of my uncle's family, so she took me back to visit my relatives that year. But my uncle can only provide her with property. In fact, my mother never used people from the Wan family. In addition, we have such a close relationship with my uncle, but my mother never told him the secret that I am Lord Kunyin. I only thought it was my mother. Be careful, the fewer people who know about such a shocking secret, the better. But looking at it now, combined with the things in the past, I can vaguely guess that the concubine mother doesn't like the Wan family— —at least not as much as she appears to like it."

Her expression was serious and serious, because she was thinking about the relationship between the problem, and her angular face showed a kind of majesty that did not match her age. She remembered another thing: "Also, I once heard that the queen mother was speaking in front of the mother's spirit card. I said that I regretted entering the palace, and I also said things like 'if it wasn't for the big brother', but at that time I only thought she was expressing her dissatisfaction to my mother, and she always scolded my father, which was much worse than that , so I didn't care."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she might have guessed right. She clasped her five fingers on the stone table, and said with a crisp sound: "After all, my father took over two sisters from the Wan family... Before him, I never There is a precedent for sisters serving one husband together. Also, the Wan family was just a small family 20 years ago, and it is through the succession of two daughters of the Wan family that they entered the palace in exchange for their current status."

Zhao Ji's eyes became sharp: "If there is something tricky about it, I wouldn't be surprised."
