Frank confession

Zhao Mo looked at Zhao Qiong with warmth in his heart. This cousin he met by chance and made friends with for the purpose of collecting information was so sincere to him. How could he not be grateful for this kindness?

Reciprocating the favor, Zhao Mo's tone of voice became more sincere: "You don't have to go out of your way to inquire about any information for me. I have other people in the capital, and I will tell them to do some things, so you don't need to worry about it. All you need to do is

Well, continue to live like this. If you know any news, just tell me. It is enough for me. If I need it, I will speak to you and I will never talk to you. You and my brother

, there is no need to use those polite words."

Zhao Qiong listened very pleasantly: "Okay! This is the right thing to do! With the relationship between us brothers, if you are polite to me, I will get angry with you!" He then personally poured a glass of wine for Zhao Mo and persuaded him.

When eating vegetables, he also said, "Just eat a little, just to fill your stomach. These dishes require a lot of effort, but I made an order for the shopkeeper of Qianweiju yesterday, and their chef will do it in the middle of the night."

I started to make preparations. You just ordered the dishes when you got here, so they won’t have these flavors, so how can you not try them?"

Zhao Mo smiled and didn't refuse any more. He also took two chopsticks and ate the food, so as not to drink on an empty stomach.

While eating, he said to Zhao Qiong: "Actually, I don't want to inquire about the Queen Mother or the Tu family. I just... want to know more things in advance so that I can be prepared for anything in the future. You are in Beijing

Are you well informed? Do you know that there will be a palace banquet in the palace on the seventh day of the lunar month..." He told him what Qin Hanzhen told him about the conflict between the Wang concubine and the Wang family's aunts, and then said, "Mrs. Yao's daughter,

She is the second young mistress of Chengenhou Mansion. You know that I am good friends with her son Qin Jian. I heard from him that Mrs. Yao once said through word of mouth that several aunts of the royal family were fighting against the heirs of the East Palace.

The idea was that Wang Concubine objected, and the two sides started to quarrel. If the daughter of the Crown Prince of Shu was not injured, and the Queen Mother could not care about others, I am afraid that the news would have reached her ears long ago, and she would have summoned that person for Wang Concubine's sake.

Some of the royal ladies are going to teach you a lesson."

Zhao Qiong was surprised when he heard this: "I really didn't know about this! I also heard my aunts and sisters-in-law at home talking privately about the previous palace banquet, saying that it seemed that the Wang family's aunts and Wang's concubines were having a tense dispute, but

I don’t know that it’s because of the heirs of the East Palace. What else do those people in the Wang family want to do? They finally managed to escape with the help of Wang Shizhong, but now they think their life is too long? Do they still want to plot against the heirs of the East Palace?

Wouldn’t you have thought about inheriting a grandson from the Wang family and becoming the prince’s son? How could anyone be so stupid in this world? The emperor is obviously not willing to accept other people’s flesh and blood as his children and grandchildren, and he only has one in his eyes, His Royal Highness. The Wang family only wants to

How could the emperor be happy with their son-in-law replacing the prince? Why are they so eager to make others uncomfortable?!"

Zhao Mo sneered: "Who knows? Maybe that chair is too attractive. They only focus on that chair and don't care about anything else, right?"

Zhao Qiong clicked his tongue twice, shook his head and said: "How can this be possible? The Wang family is getting involved with your father and Zhao Qi. Could it be that they plan to use their children to succeed them? But your father is the son of a child.

Apart from you, there is only one bastard who is born to the same wife. How can the emperor and the prince like him? As for Zhao Qi, he doesn’t have a child yet, and he is afraid that he will never have one in this life. Where can he find a child to adopt to others? Ning

King Hua does have a son, three of them, two legitimate sons and one concubine. Could it be that he had the idea of ​​adoption? Then what do your father and Zhao Qi want? What do the Wang family daughters want?"

Zhao Mo said: "As long as the current situation of the Wang family girls improves, it will be profitable. I can't control what other people think. I'm just worried that my father will offend Long Yan again. He..." Zhao Mo paused.

, "My father has never really understood the emperor's temper, likes and dislikes. He always hopes to gain both fame and wealth, and a high position. People who are greedy may be tempted by others if they are not careful.

I do something wrong. I don’t know how long I can stay in the capital, and my father will not listen to my advice. If I can find out more about their brothers, if there are bad signs, I might be able to stop them in time.

My father made mistakes."

Zhao Qiong sighed: "So this is what you do. It's not easy for you either. Your father is so ruthless to you, yet you still think about him everywhere. Is it possible that he is blind? He can't even recognize who is a good son.

?Although my father has always beaten and scolded me since I was a child, he will still be happy for me after I have achieved success, and tell me to drink less, put on more clothes in winter, don’t catch cold, and don’t work too hard.

When others bully me, he will still support me. Even though I know that he loves his other sons more, I still think of him best in my heart. Your father... I really don’t know what to say."

Zhao Mo smiled: "I think I am not a good son who is always obedient, and my third son is not a bad brother who always makes things difficult for me. I think he is quite polite at his young age. As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't fight with him."

Do the right thing. As for my father... I just ask him to stop messing around and hurt me. I don't care what he does to me. Now that I am older, I have a prince, I have opened a new mansion, and I am not in the capital.

You don’t have to look at his face to live your life, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Zhao Qiong lowered his head and stared at the bottom of the bowl in a daze for a while, then smiled and whispered: "Frankly speaking, if you really want to adopt a son to the East Palace, instead of adopting a son from a maid who is not worthy of the stage, I might as well adopt you.

.Anyway, he doesn’t want to recognize you as his son, and he only treats the mistress as a treasure. His Highness the Crown Prince has always valued you very much and treated you closer than others. If you gave the Crown Prince a son, wouldn’t everyone be happy? You talk about your talents,

In terms of appearance, character and courage, everything is good and his background is not bad. If Dong Palace really wants to adopt an heir, who can be more suitable than you?"

Zhao Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "You're talking nonsense again! Why should I recognize others as my parents? My mother only has one son. If I adopt another family, who will sacrifice my mother? Can I still hope?

My dad? My life is not bad now, so why bother looking for trouble? Life like this right now is pretty good."

Zhao Qiong suddenly laughed and said, "I was confused and I deserve to be punished!" He raised his head and drank a full glass of wine as apology.

After drinking, Zhao Qiong said to Zhao Mo: "Don't worry, those aunts from the Wang family, your father and the Zhao Qi brothers, I will make people pay attention to their movements. If anything goes wrong, I will immediately

I'll let you know. But the Tu family is quite honest. The current head of the family, Mr. Tu Er, is a very safe man and never asks his family to stand up. You can rest assured that no one in them will be confused again.

If there is any news from the Tu family in the Queen Mother's Palace, I will find a way to find out for you. It is still the old rule, once every three days, I will send someone to deliver a message to you. If there is important news delivered within three days,

, I will also notify you immediately. But now that you are in the capital, it is not as easy as before to cover up others. In fact, I think it doesn't matter, but your concerns are also justified. It is really not good for you and me to be too public about our interactions. If it is public,

Now, the first one who feels awkward is probably the Tu family. I still have to take care of my aunt."

The original reason for the Tu family's misdeeds was that Mrs. Tu sent someone to "assassinate" Zhao Mo. Although the Tu family knew in their hearts that it was His Royal Highness who was really assassinated, and Zhao Mo just acted as a cover for a while, but

There is still a knot between the two families. Zhao Qiong's biological mother was born in the Tu family, and there are relatives who stay in the Tu family as errands, so he will inevitably have to think more about it.

Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "This matter is easy to handle. Didn't you open a tea shop near your Prince Xiang's Mansion? I gave you that shop in the first place."

Zhao Qiong was startled: "There is such a shop. There is a small courtyard with two entrances behind the shop. It is clean and quiet. I like to go there to kill time when I have free time. If something happens to the palace, my family will come to look for it.

It’s convenient for me too. I was too busy when I was settling accounts for the year, so I simply stayed there.”

Zhao Mo nodded: "That's the place. In fact, when I bought the shop, I bought several shops and houses around it. I already bought the alley connected to the backyard of the shop and the house diagonally opposite.

I ordered people to clean it up, and arranged for people to guard there. The house has the same layout as your shop, with a store in the front and two courtyards at the back. There is only a narrow back wall between the two courtyards.

Lane. If you have any new information, go into the house diagonally across from the back door and leave the letter. If you want to meet me, you can make an appointment there. Although the yards are so close, the stores are on different streets. Outsiders

You won’t notice it.”

Zhao Qiong was surprised: "You are really generous. I remember that house...it's not very cheap, right?"

Zhao Mo didn't say anything. That piece of land was really good. He bought a lot of real estate. He actually planned to use that piece of land to build his prince's palace if he needed to live in the capital for a long time in the future. But he failed to get the emperor's palace.

Before receiving the decree, he couldn't express this idea, so he could only temporarily use it as a place for his subordinates and associates to stay.

Zhao Qiong was very satisfied with Zhao Mo's arrangement and gave it a guarantee again.

Zhao Mo was half full and had downed seven or eight glasses of wine. He felt that he could not continue. Seeing that it was getting late, he said to Zhao Qiong: "I have to go back. I'm afraid the food can't be served over there."

It's almost done. Let's meet again when we have time." By the way, I told him that I would pay off the expenses for this small courtyard in a while, and asked him to just eat and drink well. If he is drunk, he can stay in the house.

Get some sleep, the kang here is warm.

Zhao Qiong was happy when he heard this: "Brother Mo is getting more and more verbose now. Cheng Chengcheng, since you are willing to entertain me, I will just remember your kindness. Next time I have some free time, I will treat you to a meal. Capital City

There is a new restaurant called Dong Changshun. The roasted mutton is very well done, the soup is thick and delicious, and with a handful of noodles, it tastes amazing!"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "I really want to try it." He said goodbye to Zhao Qiong and returned to the courtyard he had chosen. As expected, all the dishes had been served in the main room, the side rooms and the colorful shed in the courtyard.

Except for his personal guards in the wing who didn't dare to use their chopsticks, everyone else ate happily.

Zhao Mo smiled and went to the east wing, then turned back to the main room. Qin Jian quickly pulled him to sit down and said, "Which friend did you meet after being here for half a day? But I recognize him?"

Zhao Mo hesitated to speak. Of course Qin Jian knew Zhao Qiong, but was it necessary to bring him over to meet him? It would be bad if his true relationship with Zhao Qiong was exposed.

Zhao Mo was silent, Qin Jian was still looking at him, waiting for the answer. Qin Hanzhen suddenly raised his voice in the room: "Cousin Zhao is back, let's start the banquet quickly, everyone is starving. The food has just been served,

You have to eat it while it's hot. After dinner, how much can we talk about?"

Qin Jian thought about it and stopped asking questions. Zhao Mo turned around and smiled at Qin Hanzhen. Qin Hanzhen scolded him, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled secretly.
