The relationship between the old Zhao family is extremely complicated, and even Zhao Huan has to sort it out carefully. If he is not careful, mistakes will appear.
King Yun and King Su were both born to the royal concubine.
Apart from the second prince who died young, the third prince, Prince Yun Zhao Kai, was the eldest, only one year younger than Zhao Huan.
They are both princes, but their treatment and status are completely different.
When he was one year old, he was granted the titles of Taiwei, Jiedushi and Duke.
At the age of seven, he was granted the title of king, and at the age of twelve, he was granted the title of Taibao...
At the age of fifteen, he was granted the title of Taifu and was in charge of Xu and Shaanxi prefectures.
At the age of seventeen, he was granted the title of King Yun...
Not only that, he is also the number one scholar in the royal family and is the best in the six arts.
It can be said that from the moment he was born, King Yun had countless auras and was a being that everyone looked up to.
There is undoubtedly a sharp contrast with Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the emperor who has nothing to do and is idle.
King Yun and King Su are not only brothers, but also have an extremely close relationship. Zhao Huan's attempt to repair King Su will definitely affect King Yun.
"Panic... panic."
"My dear concubine, you are the daughter of Zhu's eldest son, and I am the eldest son of the emperor. There is an order of elders and younger ones. In terms of seniority, you are directly ahead of their husband and wife."
"Hehe, if they dare to stab them, we husband and wife will work together to cut them off."
Zhu Lian still maintained the dignified posture of sitting upright, but couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Since Zhao Huan can say this, it means that Zhao Huan knows nothing about the situation of the Zhu family.
What an honor it is for all the daughters of the Zhu family to marry the prince?
The most important thing is...
The eldest daughter marries the eldest son of the emperor, and the second daughter marries the third son of the emperor.
Regardless of whether Zhao Huan can establish the throne, the future status of the Zhu family cannot be shaken.
after all……
Zhao Huan collapsed. According to the order of seniority and junior, the throne must fall on the head of King Yun Zhao Kai.
The Zhu family will definitely produce a queen and a princess...
However, Zhao Huan had been idle for ten years and his future was ruined. Even though he was still the eldest son of the emperor, everyone knew it clearly.
It is only a matter of time before Zhao Huan is deposed.
The fourth prince died young like the second prince.
Then the next two heirs are the third prince Zhao Kai and the fifth prince Zhao Shu...
No matter how the situation changes, the imperial concubine and her son will inherit the imperial power in the future.
It is precisely because of this that the Zhu family has pinned all their hopes on Zhu Fengying, and Zhu Lian is just... an unsatisfactory girl.
Today, Prince Ding's Mansion actually has enmity with Prince Su's Mansion.
Whether it is the Zhu family or Wang Guifei, they will definitely think that Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian are unwilling to give up and are suppressing them in order to consolidate their positions.
The reaction of the Zhu family and Wang Guifei must be extremely intense.
"Your Majesty, you and Zheng Qingyun fell in love at first sight, but I ignore it."
"In order to seek amnesty for her and clear her name, I will not stop you."
"But because of this, he offended Wang Guifei and the Zhu family, causing the entire Dingwang Mansion to be imprisoned and besieged by the two most powerful families in the Song Dynasty."
"Even if I continue to rely on you, I must step in to stop you."
Almost at the same time, Zheng Qingyun was brought in by Xiaochai.
Zheng Qingyun had already heard the conversation between Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian.
Zheng Qingyun never imagined that the prince would have to take such a big risk in order to clear her name.
"Your Majesty..."
Zheng Qingyun slowly knelt down on the ground, already stained with tears.
"The slave family is a guilty person and a lowly nightingale. Even if the ancestors have accumulated virtue and met the prince in the abyss, it is definitely not worth the prince's risk."
"The singers in Jiaofangsi are all as beautiful as heavenly beings. The prince likes them. He can choose as he pleases. Why do they do it for the slave family..."
Before Zheng Qingyun could finish speaking, Zhao Huan interrupted him bluntly.
"Don't talk about taking risks, so what if you go against the odds?"
Even though Zhao Huanming knew that this matter involved a lot, his thoughts never wavered for a moment.
This is because Zhao Huan knew very well that after Zheng Qingyun was kidnapped by the Jin people, he and Zhu Lian fought tooth and nail to protect Zhao Huan's dignity.
In order not to smear Zhao Huan, he did not hesitate to die to protect his innocence.
Although……
Zhao Huan is still not sure whether the Zheng Qingyun in front of him is the future concubine.
But Zhao Huan still did not dare to take risks.
What if it were? Zhao Huan would never allow such a thing to happen as he watched his wife escape into the abyss and be doomed.
Obviously... Zhao Huan is the eldest son of the Song Dynasty Emperor, a dragon flying in the sky, but he is just the daughter of a guilty minister, a struggling ant in the mortal world.
There is such a huge gap between heaven and earth, dragons and ants.
"Your Majesty..."
Zheng Qingyun silently clenched his fists, looked up at Zhao Huan, and silently made a decision.
"With just a one-sided relationship, the prince will go through fire and water for the slave family. Whether it's love at first sight, it's all for the benefit, so it doesn't matter."
"Meeting, getting to know each other, knowing each other, and relying on each other, all in one thought, it is already a sign that heaven is not kind to my family."
"Just with this unforgettable moment, the slave family is already satisfied."
"The slave family is also willing to sacrifice everything for the prince."
"If there is an afterlife, the slave family will be innocent, the prince will be high-spirited, and the white horse and Qing Yi will meet again and we can depend on each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Qingyun stood up suddenly and without any hesitation, he ran towards the wall.
The gift of first meeting was so heavy that Zheng Qingyun could not afford this great favor.
Only this method can repay the kindness of the prince.
Zhu Lian's heart moved slightly, and he admired Zheng Qingyun's steadfastness. Although his delicate body was swaying, he did not insult the strength of everyone's ladies.
But in order to determine the future of the palace, they just watched the fire from the other side and did not stop it.
Xiaochai's eyes were moved and she quickly turned her head away, unable to bear to look at it.
Just when Zheng Qingyun was about to spill his blood on the palace, Changfu had quick eyesight and quickly grabbed Zheng Qingyun's wrist.
"Miss Zheng, the prince will never allow you to do this."
Zhao Huan stood up slowly, his eyes as calm as still water.
It doesn't matter whether the woman in front of her is the concubine recorded in the history books or not.
Zheng Qingyun was the concubine of Zhao Huan who had read all the ancient history and left her name in a few black words on the white paper.
Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian and said softly: "Didn't my beloved concubine say that she wants to choose a concubine for this king?"
"Can you still take it seriously?"
Zhu Lian took a deep breath, she already understood that this debt was irreversible.
“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to follow it.”
Zhao Huan directly raised his hand and pointed at Zheng Qingyun: "Then there's no need to choose, it's her."
"The person I and the princess have chosen at the same time may be guilty, but what's the problem? She is the concubine of the palace."
"I protect her just like I protect you. There is no fundamental difference."
The development of the situation was beyond Zhu Lian's expectation, but it was also within reason.
after all……
Zhao Huan had also protected Zhu Lian without a doubt, and for this reason, Zhu Lian knew very well that those whom Zhao Huan recognized should be protected behind him even if they went against the will of heaven.
Zhu Lian stood up slowly, turned around and left, leaving a cold sentence.
"I have done what I should do, and the rest is up to the prince to decide on his own."
