Prince Zhao and his wife are not people who like to show off, so when they arrived at Tianjie, they left their entourage outside. Princess Zhao also said, "You also go for a stroll, and some people can take turns guarding them."
The servant hesitated: "But Princess, this is outside, if anything happens..."
King Zhao waved his hand to interrupt him: "There are Jinwu guards everywhere, what are you afraid of?"
There are many noble people coming and going in Tianjie, and the security is the highest. There are Jinwu guards on duty every ten or so steps.
The servant did not dare to say any more: "Yes."
So the family of four just merged into the crowd and slowly looked at the lights. They behaved in a low-key manner, and others just thought they were ordinary wealthy people.
After walking around for a while, Princess Zhao looked back and saw that Mr. Xie had taken a fancy to a lotus leaf lantern and Yan Cheng was helping her guess a riddle. The two were talking and laughing, and were very happy.
She smiled slightly and said to her husband: "After all, he is a young man. He says he is accompanying us, how can he not want to come out and play?"
King Zhao nodded in agreement and said with emotion: "A Cheng, this kid, is too thoughtful. You and I are not strict people, they can be more casual. He always suppresses himself like this, which makes Mr. Xie become cautious.
"
Princess Zhao spoke for her son: "He is the eldest son, and it is a good thing to be responsible. No wonder he will have a heavy burden on his shoulders in the future."
King Zhao laughed: "I haven't said anything yet, you just protect him."
Princess Zhao also laughed: "You also know that he is thoughtful. The more he says this, the more he cares about it. He always feels that you are dissatisfied in some way. You must know that if you are tight, he will be tight. When you loosen him, he will naturally loosen up."
King Zhao was speechless and could only say: "Xing Xing Xing, you always have a point."
"Of course." Princess Zhao said confidently and asked, "When did my words stop making sense?"
Her appearance brought out a bit of girlish coquettishness, which reminded King Zhao of the past.
"I remember that it was also such a day for lantern viewing. Empress Jia ordered people to build a Linglong Tower on Tianjie. There were 7749 steps from the ground floor to the top. Each step had a lantern riddle and a colorful head.
It's the Queen's phoenix hairpin. All the noble ladies in the capital are here, and everyone wants to get the phoenix hairpin. You have always been good at guessing riddles, and soon you reached the fortieth level. The Di family also reached the fortieth level with you.
The second young lady is a well-known talented woman in the capital."
Hearing him mention the past events in her boudoir, Princess Zhao sighed: "You remember it so clearly."
King Zhao smiled slightly and continued: "In order to win, Miss Di Er deliberately bumped into the person who was traveling with you... It happened that there were no witnesses. Others might have been worried that the queen would not like it, so they suffered this secret loss. But you refused, must you
If we have to argue the right and wrong, both you and Miss Di Er will be disqualified."
Having said this, King Zhao looked at her: "Afterwards, I heard your mother blame you, saying that women are beautiful when they are gentle. If you are so stubborn, even if you are not wrong, others will think you have a bad temper."
King Zhao paused for a moment and smiled: "As a result, you retorted plausibly. It is only natural that people who have made no mistakes demand justice. If others blame you, then it is someone else who is at fault. If everyone in the world blames you, that is
There are mistakes in the world. The right people bow to the wrong people. What is the reason for this?"
Hearing him repeat what he had said in detail, Princess Zhao couldn't help but laugh, and felt a little embarrassed: "So you heard it all. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and my family was indulgent, and I refused to suffer any losses."
King Zhao said: "It's not that you don't want to suffer losses, you are an upright and righteous man. I still remember the kindness of the past and repay her wholeheartedly to her children. Ayi, you are really good. Until now, I
I don’t even believe that I am so lucky to be able to marry you.”
Princess Zhao blushed when he said it: "I'm almost a grandfather, and you still say this. When did you learn from the waiter? He's full of sweet words."
King Zhao laughed and said, "That's good! In fact, Xiao Er's temper is like yours. If you say anything, he will definitely live a good life after getting married."
Princess Zhao also smiled: "I hope so."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived in front of their shed.
King Zhao said: "We are still in a hurry this year, so this revolving lantern is more decent. Let's take a look as soon as possible. I'm afraid we won't have time next time."
Princess Zhao nodded. The emperor and his ministers saw that the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to collapse, and the dignitaries in the capital were about to reshuffle. These were all things they needed to balance. He was killing in the front, and she had to assist in the rear.
To be honest, she didn't expect this day to come when she married into the Duke of Zhao's palace, but now that she has come this far, she won't be afraid. If he wants to ascend to heaven, she will accompany him.
While the couple was watching, a loud shout suddenly came from the shed next to them.
"What did you do? You tore my lantern. Do you know how much it is worth?"
The two turned to look over and found that the person speaking was a young man from a rich family. Judging from his colorful clothes and the way he was shaking his legs, he must be an idle playboy.
At this time, he was holding a gorgeous palace lantern in his hand, and with a fierce look on his face, he shouted to the mother and daughter in front of him.
This mother and daughter looked like ordinary people. The daughter was slim and graceful, with a beautiful face. However, she was so frightened by the other that her face turned pale, making her look extremely pitiful.
The dude obviously noticed it, his eyes became a little different, and he even wanted to pull the girl.
The girl trembled with fright, and her mother hurriedly stepped in front of her and said with a smile: "Master, I'm sorry! My daughter didn't do it on purpose. There were too many people just now and she couldn't stand still, so she bumped into the master's lantern. Need to
No matter how much it is, we will pay.”
There were so many people blocking it just now, but only then did they see the woman's profile. Princess Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then she said in surprise: "Wu'er?"
The dude saw that the mother was still charming, and became more and more entangled. As soon as he stretched out his hand, someone grabbed him and he screamed in pain.
"Let go! Who is it! Let me go quickly!"
He raised his eyes and saw that he was a middle-aged man with a heroic appearance. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a dignified manner. At first glance, he was no ordinary person.
The man said coldly: "If you crash, let's talk about compensation. What do you want to do?"
The dandy shouted: "What does it have to do with you? I'm afraid they'll run away! Hey, look, look..."
When the woman saw King Zhao, she looked shocked, took her daughter and left, causing the onlookers to talk a lot.
"Really let's go!"
"This is a bit unkind. I won't compensate you for breaking someone else's lantern."
"Thankfully I thought they were pitiful just now!"
The woman pretended not to hear and moved faster.
But she couldn't leave soon, because Princess Zhao shouted: "Stop her!"
Several guards who were following from a distance immediately came up and blocked the way for the mother and daughter.
Princess Zhao came over, looked at the woman who was avoiding her gaze, and sighed: "Wu'er, do you still recognize me? I am the Dong family's aunt, your eldest sister's friend."
