Is there any problem with the Crown Prince of Shu? This seems to be an unresolved mystery.

The Secret Intelligence Department needs time to interrogate the hundred or so Beirong spies, and then compile the confessions of all of them, select useful information from them, and at the same time step up the pursuit of the three spies who escaped.

The emperor and the court had just settled the issue of ownership of Liaodong. It would take at least a year or two to sort out the people and things on that land, and then integrate the Liaodong army, strengthen their combat power, and be more vigilant to guard against possible attacks by the Beirong people.

There are some intrusions.

The newly-confessed Yiyang County Prince and his family were still on their way south. Zhao Li, who had stayed in Beijing, had a rare moment of honesty and stayed in the palace to recover from his injuries. The daughter of the Wang family who had been pretending to be transparent when he was imprisoned in the prison of Zongren Mansion reappeared.

I went to visit the doctor with a haggard, thin yet beautiful image, and explained that I became seriously ill after getting the news, and I could only keep asking people to go out to find out the news. It has only gotten better recently, and I tried my best to finally recover.

Zhao Liang's heart was broken.

But after this incident, even if Zhao Li still has affection for his fiancée, he can't help but have doubts about the true strength of the Wang family now - at his most critical moment, the Wang concubine in the palace did not intercede for his future niece and grandson-in-law. No.

To turn a blind eye to the niece's future after marriage is to be powerless. Can the Wang family really help him win the position of the eldest son of the county king? Zhao Li once again regretted the marriage, but it was too late.

The eldest granddaughter of the Wang family may have noticed this. In order to live a better life after her marriage, she had to drag her "ill body" through the house from time to time to take care of her disabled fiancé. Sometimes she had to make soup even if no one came.

Make snacks or something, and please Zhao Li from time to time. Zhao Li is not unyielding, but his enthusiasm for her is not as good as when he was in love.

Zhao Mo also occasionally visits the doctor. He actually knows that Zhao Li doesn't want to see him. If it weren't for the sake of showing up well in front of outsiders and avoiding criticism, he would not cause trouble to him. Even if he comes to visit the doctor, he will not cause trouble to him.

It was rare for him to stay in front of Zhao Yan for a long time. Zhao Yan was not like Zhao Yan, who could be coaxed by him. He always relied on his status as an uncle, and he never had nice words or good looks when meeting. He would just come in and stay away from him.

After greeting him and saying a few polite words, he called the manager outside to inquire about his condition in detail. Zhao Li couldn't get out of bed anyway, so even if he yelled and cursed loudly in the room, he could pretend he didn't hear him.

Zhao Mo had done enough to show off, and whenever he came to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Prince, or the elders of other clans, he could always tell his uncle Zhao Li's condition and injuries, and even the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.

, he can tell some things, which shows that he takes it seriously. No one can find fault with him, but can only say good things about him. As for whether he actually visited his uncle attentively, who knows?

Zhao Li and the manager were not allowed to leave the house and were shouting everywhere. As for the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family, even if she knew about it, could she still go around the capital and speak ill of Zhao Mo? She is not stupid! She just sent a thank you some time ago.

The matchmaker gave Zhao Mo a heavy gift, and now she naturally has to maintain a friendly relationship with her. No matter whether she and her nephew are enemies or friends after marriage, they must always do a good job on the surface.

Not everyone in the world is like Zhao Li, who doesn't even bother to cover up, but still thinks he is very smart.

Of course, apart from Zhao Li, there are actually no such people in the world.

For example, Zhao Shuo felt that it was meaningless for his eldest son to go to the Prince of Yiyang County to do such superficial things. It was not that he felt sorry for his son being scolded for being angry, but he felt that Zhao Li had no value in letting people do superficial things: "The prince only did it because he was convicted.

The one who was demoted, Zhao Li, was originally innocent and was punished, but now he has a broken leg! Their family has been in Beijing for several months, and they have already lost all their holy relatives. There is no need to pay attention to them. Always stay with them.

For one thing, if outsiders misunderstand that you are getting along well with them, it might arouse the emperor's disgust. Why does this happen? They have never been friendly to us father and son. If we ignore Zhao Li, neither will outsiders.

I think we are at fault. Why bother?"

Zhao Shuo not only didn't want his son to go, but also refused his son's suggestion that he occasionally visit the doctor and show it to outsiders.

Zhao Mo was very helpless about this. He actually understood that Zhao Shuo did not really feel that there was no need to do superficial things, but because he knew that he had been angered by the emperor and had lost the title of prince and son, and he would probably have no hope of winning over the county king in the future.

He is the eldest son, and there is no son who can inherit his title after his death, which means it is a bit broken. If Zhao Shuo feels that he still has a chance to fight for the inheritance rights, let alone just visit the doctor occasionally and act in a play, I am afraid that he will be killed.

He was willing to go every day. Anyway, he could imitate his son and not have much to do with Zhao Gang. He just wanted to make outsiders think that he was filial and friendly.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated. Zhao Shuo acts with utilitarianism and is always willing to do something if it is profitable. Once he finds that something can bring him little benefit, he becomes lazy. If he is a person who understands

A person who is persistent and patient will not turn against the Wang family when he still needs to rely on the Wang family. When he needs to use the fact of not divorcing his wife to win a reputation for kindness, he will quarrel with the young Wang family and spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. Now, he has just

When he found out that he had made a big mistake and lost his position as the heir apparent, he should have shown more performance, made meritorious deeds, and tried to win the emperor and the prince to change their views on him. However, he acted in a dejected manner, and did not even care whether the outside world saw him or not.

People would criticize him for being too cold and callous towards his father and brothers, and would not even do superficial things.

What should Zhao Mo do? After all, he is just a son, and he cannot force his biological father to do as he says. He has already saved his father's life, restored his father's reputation, and helped his father take revenge on Yiyang County.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang, father and son, thought that they had fulfilled their filial piety. Since Zhao Shuo had no intention of fighting for anything, there was no need for him to be verbose.

It might be better for everyone if Zhao Shuo just stays an idle member of the clan.

Zhao Mo stayed at his new home with peace of mind, decorating the courtyard, keeping in touch with his fiancée, and trying to please Qin Bai, his wife and Wu Shaoying. Because the weather was too cold, the renovation project of the Prince's Palace had been stopped, and only work that did not require groundbreaking was done. But

The project of the street bridge has been completed and put into use. Now Zhao Mo wants to go to the Prince's Mansion across the street to inspect the progress of the project. He always walks through the street bridge, which is low-key and unobtrusive, and can avoid the cold wind, rain and snow.

, very convenient.

He also has to worry about the issue of his younger brother Zhao Qi's enlightenment. Zhao Qi has already passed the elementary education and has learned his homework very well. At his age, he can almost consider officially enrolling in school. The children of the clan have sects in the capital, and close branches of the clan

You can also study with the princes and grandsons in the upper study room in the palace. But now that there are no princes and grandsons of the right age in the palace, the only place Zhao Qi can go to is Zongxue. Although the news that his biological mother is a Beirong woman has not spread,

But several princes in the clan who have close relations with the palace have heard about it. If Zhao Qi just enrolls in school, he doesn't know if he will be criticized and discriminated against.

This child has probably had a clear understanding of his situation recently, and his mood has not been very high. He is obviously a lot more cautious in front of Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo couldn't bear it, so he didn't mention his joining the sect for the time being, and just hired

An old scholar who lived nearby, was knowledgeable and patient, temporarily taught him the basics of three hundred thousand, and then painted red. After the examination is over next year, he will look for a failed candidate to be Zhao Qi's formal teacher.

Qin Hanzhen often felt that Zhao Mo was quite patient with this little brother. Even though Lan Xue was hateful, she did not take her anger out on him. She deeply felt that Zhao Mo had a kind and kind temperament. No matter how scheming he was towards others, in her heart, he was always

He is a kind and considerate person.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but praise Zhao Mo to his face. Zhao Mo was often praised and blushed. Although he was very happy in his heart, he didn't know why and always felt shy. When Qin Hanzhen saw this, he couldn't help saying it in front of his grandparents.

He made fun of Zhao Mo about this incident.

Qin Bai said: "This is a good thing. In a situation like Guanglu's, if he had not behaved shrewdly, his life would have been calculated long ago. But his nature is gentle and kind, so he will not go astray and get into trouble. Such a grandson-in-law,

Only then can I rest assured to entrust my granddaughter’s life to him.”

Mr. Niu agreed: "Yes, such young people are good children! If you are too kind, you will look stupid. How can you rest assured? But if you are too smart, you are worried that he will treat you badly. Like Guang Lu

He is just right, there is no place to look for a more suitable grandson-in-law than him!"

Qin Hanzhen felt embarrassed at first, and looked at Zhao Mo, and both of them couldn't help but blush.

The days passed peacefully. Calmness returned to the capital. Before the arrival of the Laba Festival, Qin Ping, who traveled north by sea from the far south of Lingnan to celebrate the New Year at home, finally arrived in the capital.

Qin Bai's family was overjoyed. They heard that Qin Ping had arrived at the pier and was loading his luggage into the truck. He would be heading home soon. Niu was so busy that he sent someone to pick him up. The luggage was the second priority, so he just asked someone to guard it and escort it back.

The most important thing is for my son to get home early.

Even Xiao Feng hurriedly sent someone to inform her husband Qin An that he had returned home. She also took the initiative to help her mother-in-law Niu prepare a reception banquet and deliver letters to the eldest and second bedrooms.

Qin Hanzhen happily took Feng'er to his father's yard again. He took a fresh look at the house that was cleaned every day, replaced it with new flowers and bonsais for decoration, and made people ready to warm it up.

Tea and snacks were provided, and hot water was boiled so that Qin Ping could take a hot bath as soon as he got home. When she came out of her father's yard, Zhao Mo also arrived after hearing the news. The two happily returned to the front yard together.

Together with Qin Bai, Niu and his wife, they are waiting for Qin Ping's return.

At this moment, little Feng, who was directing in the kitchen, took a letter from Grandma Lu: "What is this? Grandma said, this is a letter from Datong?"

Grandma Lu nodded: "The steward at the small farm over there reported the news to shopkeeper Zhang. It was a letter from Brother Zhang Jiahun, saying that Aunt Jin was dead and had tuberculosis. She was gone on the 21st of last month.

Yes, it has been half a month since today. The people on the farm had arranged their funeral arrangements and buried her beside the village."

Little Feng was silent for a moment, and said as she expected, she put the letter away: "I understand, I will tell the Fifth Master and the Sixth Miss, but please don't tell anyone else. There is something going on at home today.

It’s a happy event, why bother spoiling it?”

Aunt Lu agreed and turned around to go about her own business. Little Feng stopped mentioning the matter and continued to direct the people in the kitchen to prepare for tonight's reception banquet.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and the weather returned from early summer to winter, with cold wind and rain outside the window...
