Zhao Shuo and Qin Ping both nodded, and Zhao Mo knew that the marriage was stable. Asking the emperor for a marriage was just to add some luster to him and Qin Hanzhen, the icing on the cake.

Thinking that his father had become a lot more honest recently, Zhao Mo didn't mind giving him a little sweetness: "Father, would you like to take your family to see the Dragon Boat Festival in May? The third brother is at a time when he is lively and loves to play, so he must also want to

Let’s go and watch the fun?”

Zhao Shuo was a little moved. In fact, he had not participated in the Dragon Boat Festival held in the palace for several years. On such occasions, the emperor, the queen mother, and the prince's family would all appear. Those who could be close to the emperor were all powerful and powerful figures.

. Listening to his son's wishes, he will probably be placed in a good position and let outsiders see that he has not lost power yet and has a good son to rely on!

However, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but give up when he thought that being close to the emperor also meant that the emperor would see him. He had better not let the emperor see him now, lest the emperor would be unhappy and make him even more unpleasant to his eyes.

, he gave him a glass of poisoned wine, and then announced that he died of a sudden illness. If he didn't mention the crime, his son would not be implicated. He believed that the emperor could do such a thing!

Zhao Shuo said to his son with a stiff face: "It's not like I haven't been to the Dragon Boat Festival before, what's there to see? It's so hot, it's better to stay at home and feel comfortable. Your brother is also weak, so it's better to stay away from others.

It is better to go to more places, lest the people waiting around him may be careless and fall into the lake."

Zhao Mo was secretly amused. How old is Zhao Qi? He usually talks and acts like a young adult. How could he fall into the lake because of the negligence of the person waiting around him? Unless the person waiting on him did it intentionally.

He understood that this was just Zhao Shuo's excuse, and didn't take it seriously. He followed his lead and said, "If my father feels that the city is too hot and life is difficult, my son has a summer garden over there in Xishan, which has been recently renovated.

It's quite quiet. You can take your brother and aunts to stay there for a few days and relax. My son heard that when the weather was too hot in previous years, the emperor and the important officials of the court would also move to the palace on the west mountain side in late May and early June.

Staying for a while.”

Zhao Shuo was interested this time. Being able to have a summer residence in Xishan was a status symbol in the capital! That was not something that could be done with money, it also required power and status. He knew that his son would be a year old this year.

I got a new property in Xishan, and I haven't moved there yet. If I can live in this house, in the eyes of outsiders, will it be considered as becoming a family with my son again? As long as the emperor doesn't deal with him, outsiders should think that

He has obtained the royal family's understanding, is everything safe? In the future, as long as Zhao Mo's holy love does not diminish, he will be able to take advantage of it. He does not need to express this to others, and outsiders will naturally understand the meaning.

As long as he moved out before the emperor moved there, that would be fine. What he was afraid of was just meeting the emperor.

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but smile: "Ah, you are thoughtful. The weather is not too hot now, and I have no intention of leaving the capital for the time being. When the weather gets hotter, I really can't stand it anymore, and maybe I will have to go there.

How long will you stay there for a few days?" He also asked his son with concern, "Do you want to live there too?" If his son goes with him, outsiders will be more convinced that he has made a comeback.

Zhao Mo just smiled slightly: "My son still has to deal with the errands ordered by the palace. Besides, it is still unknown whether my son will still be in the capital in the summer. Maybe my son will have returned to Suning by then."

Zhao Shuo hurriedly asked with concern: "What errands did the emperor ask you to do? Can you do it well? Do you need help? I have a few people here. If you are short of people, just ask father."

How could Zhao Mo say this to him? But he still agreed: "Yes, father." Zhao Shuo didn't need any further persuasion, but he didn't say anything about borrowing someone.

Zhao Shuo could not continue to persuade him, and he was not sure whether his son listened to his words and expressed kindness to him, or whether he was politely refusing in a submissive way. He could only say tentatively: "What kind of help do you need?"

?Zhen Zhong is the most experienced and loyal person here, Jiang Cheng is also a very capable person, Shao Lusheng is good at running industries, Sheng Er, Rong Er and others are also quite smart. Which one do you want?

Just take one with you." After that, he smiled to himself and said, "Anyway, I don't need them now."

Zhao Mo said calmly: "Where is the lack of people around father? If the son needs it, just borrow two people to run errands. Rong'er is fine, but the son is still idle at the moment, and there is no new errand for the time being, so we should wait.

A new mission has come down, but there is not enough manpower. The son should come again and borrow men from his father."

Rong'er was not bad, and the one who was waiting in the study was definitely a confidant. Zhao Shuo felt satisfied, so he stopped dwelling on the matter, so as not to arouse Zhao Mo's resentment.

He also wanted to mention the matter of asking his son to go to the emperor to plead for him, although Ma Meiniang advised him not to mention it anymore, because as long as his relationship with his son improved, his son would take the initiative to plead for mercy without him opening his mouth. He was

Father, sometimes you still need to put on airs. There is no need to say too much. You just need to wait for your son to take the initiative to show filial piety. But Zhao Shuo now has no confidence and no patience. He can't wait any longer, for fear that his son will still hold grudges and forget about the past.

Please plead for him. Anyway, he just did something that made his son happy. In exchange, his son should also do something for him. Otherwise, if he is unhappy, he will make it more difficult for his son's marriage and endure hardship.

Not a son yet?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Shuo opened his mouth, before he could say anything, Zhao Mo spoke first: "Does father plan to move to the Liao Prince's Mansion to live for a while?" Zhao Shuo was stunned and immediately forgot what he wanted to say before.

He was stunned: "What did you say?"

Zhao Mo looked at him calmly: "Although my son lives in the palace of Prince Liao, he can still suppress the servants, but after all, my son is only the Prince of Suning County, not the Prince of Liao. The prince and princess are planning to make excuses these days.

To congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, she came to the capital again, most likely because of her father's position as the heir apparent. At present, the people in the Liao Prince's palace are also eager to make a move. The son still has to take care of the errands in the palace and is busy with the affairs of the fiefdom, so he really doesn't have the energy.

Pay attention to the little thoughts of those servants. If my father moves back, you are the legitimate Crown Prince of Liao, who can do tricks in front of you?"

Zhao Shuo's eyes flickered: "What's the use of me moving back? When the prince and princess come, will there be room for me to stand there?!"

Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "But they haven't come yet! If you move there before they arrive in the capital and make arrangements in advance, whether it's manpower or anything else, when the prince and princess come, even if you really have a plan

, wouldn’t it be safer if you could be on guard in advance? After all...if they really want to set a trap to harm you again, I can’t make them believe that I am a harmless child with two children.

Just a little boy, I stole something important and gave it to you."

Zhao Shuo understood what he meant. Indeed, if he could make arrangements in the Prince Liao's Mansion in advance and replace his own men, then when the Prince of Liao and his step-concubine arrived with their two brothers, all their whereabouts would be revealed.

It was all under his control. Even if he wanted to frame any forged letters, it was much easier. Why couldn't he use the same trick used by the step-concubine, mother and son of the King of Liao back then?!

Zhao Shuo suddenly became energetic: "Yes, I am the prince of Liao. Compared with you, it is more legitimate to act in that palace. I can also appoint and place all the servants. If the prince is not in the capital, I will be in that palace."

My master, who dares to disobey my orders?!" As long as he has his son's support, no one else will question him!

But there is one more thing...

He asked Zhao Mo: "I don't have enough manpower. I'm afraid I won't be able to replace the entire palace's servants."

Zhao Mo couldn't believe that his father would have such a stupid idea: "Why use your own people to replace it? Just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You only need to put your confidants in important places."

Only then did Zhao Shuo react and coughed quickly: "That's right, I... I'm afraid that people from outside are unreliable." But if you think about it carefully, as long as you are not a servant of the Liao Palace, you will not help the Holy Family.

It is enough for the King of Liao and his wife to do things. Are the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs still afraid that they will violate Zhao Mo's wishes? It is impossible for them not to know how much Zhao Mo is now used by the emperor and the prince. Moreover, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs

, the step-concubine of the King of Liao could not be disposed of at will.

Zhao Shuo felt a little embarrassed, especially in front of his eldest son, whom he never cared about.

Zhao Mo didn't seem to notice anything, and said: "If the prince writes to ask you why you want to move back to the Liao Prince's Mansion, just say that it is because your son is getting married and the Prince's Mansion in the capital has not been arranged yet. In order to

Without delaying the important event, we need to start preparing for the wedding first. The most suitable place is naturally the Liao Prince's Mansion where your son lives. The prince cannot refute you. At most, he can just reprimand you as an elder, but he cannot

I really want to drive you out of the palace."

Zhao Shuo said proudly: "That's right, he has already lost the favor of the Holy Family, and his reputation in the capital has been ruined. How can he have the confidence to drive people away?!"

Zhao Mo glanced at him, feeling a little speechless. But he quickly lowered his eyes, and when he raised his head again, his expression had returned to calm: "It's just that father still has to be careful, even if you have cleaned up the kitchen and tea room in Prince Liao's Mansion beforehand.

You can't take your manpower lightly. The step-concubine is used to making fuss about poison. For the sake of your brother's safety, you'd better not take him with you, lest he accidentally falls into the plot. There is also a step-mother, she is not convenient now.

When you meet your step-concubines, if they share the same bad taste and work together to take revenge on you, it will be really hard to guard against it."

Zhao Shuo said hurriedly and solemnly: "You are right, I will not take my mistress with me. How can his child's family withstand such a scene? If I meet your two uncles and are harmed by them, I will

I really don’t even have time to cry!”

Zhao Mo smiled at Zhao Shuo: "Father is really a loving father."

Asking Zhao Shuo to help prepare for the wedding was naturally just an excuse. Zhao Mo only hoped that the King of Liao's family, who was about to go to Beijing, would attract all of Zhao Shuo's attention to prevent him from causing trouble to him. And Zhao Shuo did not bring Zhao Qi with him.

, Lan Xue has to take care of her young son, so she naturally has to stay in this house. When the time comes, the only one who can always be by Zhao Shuo's side is Aunt Ma.

Zhao Mo said a few more words to Zhao Shuo and then left. When he was going out, he happened to meet Ma Meiniang and her girl bringing a body-building soup to Zhao Shuo. The two of them met each other five or six feet apart from each other.

A salute. When they raised their heads, they looked at each other. Both parties quickly looked away, and there was a tacit understanding in each other's hearts. Ma Meiniang turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor to Zhao Shuo's study. Zhao Mo walked briskly along this corridor.

When he walked out of the yard from the side corridor, he saw Lan Xue standing behind the bushes by the door with a face full of snow and frost, staring at Ma Meiniang's back, her eyes deep and full of jealousy.

Zhao Mo raised the corners of his mouth, smiled at Lan Xue, and walked away without even saying hello.
