Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 192 Weird

After all, Zhao Zhen was an official, so it was naturally impossible for him to condescend to attend Zhao Xin's wedding.

therefore……

This wedding is basically organized by the younger generation themselves.

On the first day, complete the wedding.

The next morning, Zhao Xin took Chen Yuanyuan to the palace to meet his father, the empress, and Miss Miao.

His father and mother were almost smiling to their hearts' content.

On the contrary, Madam Miao seemed a little reserved.

But he didn't look bitter. He just held Chen Yuanyuan's hand and said to her, "Zai Xinglai is usually very naughty. From now on, it will be up to you to discipline him."

After this meeting, Chen Yuanyuan's face felt as if it was burning.

These elders all praise us in different ways.

Especially Madam Yu, who was an insignificant person. She would praise others for their good looks one moment and praise Zui Xinglai for his sharp eyes the next.

If she wasn't Miao's best friend, Zhao Xin would have almost thought that she wanted to take this opportunity to join him, the Prince of Yu.

The other ladies also greeted him.

But it's just a face scan.

noon……

He didn't even eat lunch in the palace.

Zhao Xin simply took Chen Yuanyuan away.

So as to avoid being teased by them again.

Day three...

Very busy too.

Because I have to go back to the door.

After these past few days are finally over, I can finally live a somewhat normal life.

For example...

Arrange for Chen Yuanyuan to meet his concubine.

Chen Yuanyuan had known this for a long time. Just ask yourself, which man doesn't have a few concubines? Not to mention that Zhao Xin might become an official in the future.

So, it's not surprising.

But don't say...

Zhao Xin is good at picking people.

Pick all the good-looking ones!

Madam Yu was absolutely right. If Chen Yuanyuan hadn't been self-aware and knew that she was better than the four of them combined, she would have been jealous that day.

Officials of the Song Dynasty were given a total of nine days off when they got married.

From the wedding to the return visit to the parents-in-law, it took three days, so the rest of the time was only six days.

During these six days, Zhao Xin tried his best to put everything aside and play with Chen Yuanyuan.

After all, after these six days, I don’t know if I will have time to play.

……

After the holiday, a large amount of rosewood was also transported to Tokyo.

However, Zhao Xin doesn't need to worry too much about this business.

He went to court in the morning, and attended the Scholars, Farmers, Merchants and Artisans Institute at noon and in the afternoon.

Go home in the evening.

If necessary, take Chen Yuanyuan with you to see Madam Miao and have dinner together.

Three months passed by in a flash.

Madam Zhang's adopted daughter also gave birth to a prince. However, it was said that Madam Zhang's adopted daughter was too young and died of heavy bleeding after giving birth.

Anyway...

No matter what, Madam Zhang now has a prince. Even though he is not her biological son, he can only be registered under her name first.

When Zhao Xin heard the news, he didn't care much.

The one who should really be worried should be the Empress.

after all……

If Madam Zhang dares to have a prince in her hands today, then tomorrow she will dare to ask his father for the position of queen.

As for his father, he has never liked the empress.

I don’t know if he would suddenly think of deposing the queen.

But sometimes, the Empress is indeed a little bit not so nice.

Not very good at flattery.

If the queen could be a little more vixen-like, then perhaps this problem wouldn't exist.

But to depose the queen, no matter what, you need an excuse. With the queen's cautious nature, it's hard to find any fault with her.

But if you don’t have it, you’ll have to look for it!
Maybe you'll find it.

If you find out what the Empress usually does and who she talks to, you can always find some clues.

of course!

Xia Song was so upset that Madam Zhang also wanted to seize the position of queen.

Anyway...

It's not the first time that an official has deposed a queen. There have been precedents before.

As long as Madam Zhang works hard, she might be able to become the queen.

However, Madam Zhang still felt resentful about this.

after all……

No matter what, that child is not her biological child.

Xia Song spread a rumor, saying that the reason her uncle failed to get promoted was all because of Zhao Xin.

If Zhao Xin knew about this, he would probably be speechless.

Immediately afterwards...

Madam Zhang then began to stare closely at Zhao Xin.

Don't tell me yet!

The more I think about it, the more this seems possible!
That day, Zhao Xin suddenly received a request from Madam Zhang, asking if he could speak to the emperor and let her uncle be the envoy of the Southern Courtyard of Xuanhui.

This so-called Xuanhui Southern Courtyard Envoy was probably mainly responsible for banquets and food for banquets, which was almost equivalent to the procurement of the entire imperial palace.

So much supplies and money have to pass through the other party's hands.

This is definitely a lucrative job!

For example...

One crab is sold for one thousand coins.

Even if we take the issue of transportation costs into consideration, it would still be difficult to transport under the conditions in ancient times.

but……

I feel like I can definitely get a lot of kickbacks from this.

Zhao Xin didn't expect to receive such a strange request.

of course!

Zhao Xin didn't think about it too much.

Instead, he asked Chen Yuanyuan, "What do you think we should do about this?"

Chen Yuanyuan had just gotten married and didn't know much about the situation in the palace. She just thought that this kind of welcoming and seeing off was normal.

Like her father, sometimes in order to do business, he had to humbly give gifts to others.

This is all normal.

Of course, she didn't know much about the dealings in official circles.

Then he asked, "Your Highness, do you think this matter is difficult to handle?"

Zhao Xin also replied: "In fact, with my personality, I hate this kind of thing the most, but... this world is not black and white. I just wonder why she has to ask someone to ask me for an official position, when she is obviously very favored by my father. She can just blow the pillow and get it done, why does she have to look for me?"

Chen Yuanyuan also felt strange after hearing Zhao Xin's analysis, so she asked, "Does she think your words are more useful, or is she testing you?"

Zhao Xin was confused and asked, "What are you testing me on?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "Of course she is testing your attitude, Your Highness. If you don't agree, then her plan will not be successful."

Zhao Xin was silent: "..."

Chen Yuanyuan then asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, who is the emperor most likely to listen to, you or Madam Zhang?"

Zhao Xin thought for a moment and replied, "Since she asked me for something, it must be me, right? No... Did Dad sell me out? Did he say I didn't agree? But Dad shouldn't be that stupid. Wouldn't that make the other party hate me? If you want to shirk responsibility, you should find someone like Fan Zhongyan."

Fan Zhongyan was reading a book when he suddenly sneezed.

When Zhao Xin heard what Chen Yuanyuan said, he also felt that this matter was a bit strange.

To know……

indeed!

When it comes to matters in the court, I am more convincing than Madam Zhang.

but……

In all these years, he had never seen Madam Zhang behave like this.

Many times, when the other person looks at me, his eyes are very aloof.

But now...

But he actually asked someone to send him a few beautiful bottles as gifts.
