"It's true that I'm telling my mother."

Naturally, the matter of planning the princess could not be hidden from the Zhou family for long, and now, there was no need to hide it.

"real?"

There was joy on Zhou's face.

"Why would the palace think of our Tianshui Zhao family? Your father doesn't have such a role in the court..."

"Mother, we don't have to belittle ourselves. My father is guarding the border area and has real power. He has tens of thousands of strong soldiers under his hands. My uncle is the right guard general in the court and is in charge of the guards in the palace. The Zhao family in Tianshui is both inside and outside.

, far better than other families."

"Moreover, my Zhao family is a powerful family from the north. The aristocratic families in the south are not as good as me in poetry, poetry and classics. Most of them are just laymen who specialize in martial arts."

Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly and said, "It's true that you shouldn't belittle yourself, but you, kid, shouldn't be arrogant either. Doesn't mother know how the Zhao family in Tianshui is doing?"

Mrs. Zhou patted Zhao Yue on the back and said: "My mother didn't let you know about the military affairs before, because the soldiers were dangerous. You and your father insisted on doing this, and my mother couldn't stop it. Now I want to honor Princess Lin'er."

, tell me, is this also your father's plan?"

But is it a plan to take advantage of my father?

Zhao Yue thought for a moment and nodded.

"My father did ask Li Canjun to plan for his son. That day, the Xinting Poetry Festival..."

Zhao Yue paused, took out the sachet from his waist, and said, "This is the sachet of Sui'an County Lord. She pretended to be a palace lady that day, and I won her over."

Sachet?

Zhou looked at the sachet in Zhao Yue's hand and looked at it carefully.

"I thought this was embroidered by Xixiang for you, but I didn't expect it to be woven by the princess herself."

She flipped it up and down and said, "However, the weaving method is immature, which is somewhat consistent with the rumored martial princess."

"She is indeed different from earthly women and is quite suitable for children."

Compared with those well-educated noble girls from aristocratic families, riding a princess, especially a little wild horse, naturally gives a more conquering feeling.

"Although you have some contacts with the Sui'an County Lord, but...this time the County Lord chooses a son-in-law from eight families, and our Tianshui Zhao family does not have the upper hand."

Mrs. Zhou obviously wants a wife.

She had always wanted to propose marriage to Zhao Yue before, but was blocked by Zhao Xun, who did not want Zhao Xun to plot against the princess.

But the planning princess...

You have to plan it, right?

Langya Wang family, Taiyang family, Yingchuan Xun family, Gaoping Xi family, Danyang Zhang family, Danyang Ji family, Guangping Liu family.

Among these seven competitors, except for a few engaged ones, which one of the rest is not a fierce competitor?

Especially the Langya Wang family inside!

"Mother, please don't mess up your position. The engagement between the Sui'an County Lord and the child is already certain. As for whether he can marry the princess in the end, it depends on the child's skills in the future."

"How do you say this?"

Zhao Yue's words obviously scratched Zhou's itch.

"Although the Wang family of Langya is the highest sect, ranking first in the north and the south, but something like Wang Dun happened before, and now they are just huddled in Wuyi Lane, licking their wounds.

There was a rift between Kuang Yu's family and the Langya Wang family, so how could Zhongshu Ling marry the county owner to the Langya Wang family to increase his family's prestige?

As for other aristocratic families, some are not on good terms with the Yu family, some have marriage contracts, or some are filial piety and Ding You, the so-called other seven rival families do not actually exist, and the child is the only candidate."

At this point, Zhou still doesn't understand.

"In other words, the palace's arrangement of choosing a son-in-law is just to take care of the royal family's face?"

"Since this is the case, if you directly propose marriage, wouldn't you be demeaning the county head? I'm afraid this is the thought in the Queen Mother's heart."

"But...why?"

Zhou didn't understand that her precious son would be the only candidate. What did the Queen Mother value in him? What did the Yu family value in him?

"Only the powerful ones!"

Zhao Yue stood up from Zhou's arms, gave a slight salute, and said: "The situation in the world is unstable now. Duke Shaoling and King Nanton are plotting against each other. The Langya family has an ambiguous attitude towards their relatives. Although the Yu family is nominally in charge of the center,

Yu Liang is in Taiwan, and the Queen Mother is in the harem. However... she is weak and weak. She has no strong soldiers in her hands, and she has worries in her heart."

"And my Tianshui Zhao family happens to have a strong army. For Zhongshu Ling, this time is like a thirsty traveler in the desert who sees a clear spring. It can be said that he flocks to it and seeks for it."

"Kuang Hai'er can be regarded as a talented young man. His poetry, calligraphy and poetry are praised by the great Confucian scholars. The Yu family and the Queen Mother also have some wishes for him."

Zhao Yue smiled softly and said: "It is precisely because of this request that the child can become a princess."

"That's how it is."

Zhou looked at Zhao Yue, her eyes shining with joy.

"Lin'er is indeed different from the past."

In the past, Zhao Yue liked her embrace very much, like a child who had not grown up.

But now Zhao Yue is no longer addicted to her arms.

Now not only is he physically strong, but he also looks like an upright man when he talks.

Especially when the conversation is about the general trend of the world and the man's strategy, it is clearly analyzed.

Grow up.

My child is indeed no longer the little sheep he used to be. Today, he is an eagle that has been fluttering its wings in the sky.

"A child is always his mother's son."

Zhou nodded lightly and suddenly said: "Qiu Ju and Xixiang, it is better not to let them get pregnant these days."

"yes."

Mrs. Zhou was in a hurry to hold her grandson and wanted to send all the female relatives in the house to Zhao Yue's bed.

But it's different now.

Zhao Yue wants Princess Shang.

Before marrying the princess, it is still necessary to give birth to a boy. I am afraid that the princess will have a problem in her heart. This will make the house uneasy, so it is best not to happen.

"But... I don't know when I will be able to marry this princess back home."

Zhao Yue thought for a moment and said, "Soon."

This is quick...

It could be a few months, it could be a few years.

certainly...

If he is unlucky and breaks out, he will never get married.

"If you want Princess Shang, this betrothal gift must not damage the name of our Tianshui Zhao family."

Zhou took out items such as account books and land deeds that she had kept beside her for a long time.

"I just asked the accountant to do the calculations for my mother. My mother's dowry is worth several million in Jiankang. My mother's family in Yixing also has tens of millions to buy wood for furniture. Yixing

There are many in my hometown, as for the others, don’t worry, my mother has arranged them all for you.”

Good guy...

Spend tens of millions of dollars to get married?

I don't know how big the scene will be by then.

Besides...

If the Zhao family in Tianshui had spent such a large sum of money, the palace would have to show reciprocity. For 20 million yuan, the scenes would probably be extremely grand.

The extravagance of this family seems to be reflected in Zhao Yue.

"The mother's dowry, how can the child move? Besides, the wedding does not need to cost too much..."

"Lin'er doesn't understand. If my family produces less, what will the world think of it, and what will the Queen Mother think of it? Don't you think that I, the Zhao family of Tianshui, have despised the princess? Since Lin'er is getting married, how can we be frugal? I'm afraid your old father will also think so.

disagree..."

Zhao Yue was successfully defeated by Zhou's nagging in his ear.

"After a period of time, I will hire some old women who know the etiquette in the palace to teach them some etiquette. Don't let me lose the face of Tianshui Zhao family if I lose etiquette when I enter the palace."

"Mother, I haven't even written these horoscopes yet..."

Zhao Yue wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw the look in Zhou's eyes, he decisively shut up.

All right...

Mrs. Zhou is so boring. She has to worry about the wedding. As for the etiquette?

There's no harm in learning it.
