Queen Zhao, who was not dead, realized that this might be the King of Yan's plan, ordered the assassin to ambush the King of Yan on his way back to Beijing and would not give up until he killed the King of Yan. This secret matter would not be put on the surface. As time went by, Prince Shen was demoted and Jiang Chongrui and his wife were beheaded gradually became no longer at the forefront. The topic of the people turned to the fourth prince's choice of concubines.

The fourth prince was also at the age of getting married, and his offspring was also a helper in fighting for the throne. Two years ago, Zhao Hou wanted to choose a concubine for the fourth prince, let him leave the palace to establish a mansion, recruit talents, and fight against the King of Yan. However, the fourth prince kept making excuses to refuse, so she failed to get what she wanted.

The fourth prince's choice of concubine has nothing to do with Chen Danxia. Qing'er is just her adopted daughter, but she has not been formally adopted. She just defaults on it and cannot be placed on the table. It is Chen Danyao's fourth daughter Tian Sier is of the right age. Although the Yunyang Marquis' Mansion has fallen, she has a title, which is like a tiger who will not lose its power. At the banquet of Queen Zhao, Chen Danyao dressed Tian Sier beautifully and led her into the palace.

To choose a legitimate wife for his beloved son, Empress Zhao naturally used twelve points of mind, and wanted to choose the best one for both talent, appearance, character and family background; Yang Lingzhi was chosen by King Yan and had nothing to do with Empress Zhao. According to Queen Zhao's original intention, she wanted to choose a girl with a noble birth but no real power in her family, but could not tell the truth to the emperor. She watched the emperor point Yang Lingzhi to King Yan, making the Duke Pei's mansion a helper for King Yan.

Chen Danxia was not concerned about the matter at the palace banquet. It was the beginning of summer in two days. She led Qing'er, Baozi and Gao Lei to select eggs and prepare to cook the eggs for Lixia. Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang went out and asked for tea from door to door. According to custom, they had to ask for seven portions. In the past few days, the two brothers went to the Shen family, Tao family, Cheng family, Yan family, Yuan family, Kang Kang family, and Zhuangzhuang also pulled Pangpang to the Zeng family to ask for a portion of tea.

"I've got the tea, but unfortunately I didn't see Miss Zeng." Zhuangzhuang sighed in front of Shen Danxia.

"You stupid boy, do all stupid things. Anyone who follows the rules will not let his own girls show up to you, those of you, the outsiders. Look at Qing'er, will he not go out of the door? If a man dares to come to the house and ask to see Qing'er, I will slap him to death with a big mouth." Chen Danxia said ruthlessly.

Qing'er burst into laughter.

Zhuangzhuang sneered twice, "Mom, am I worried about my elder brother."

"Your brother is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Chen Danxiaheng said with a glance.

"Mom, brother, he is anxious." Zhuangzhuang replied.

"I'm not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry?" Pangpang argued.

Zhuangzhuang raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are not in a hurry, who secretly painted so many portraits of Miss Zeng."

"You went into my study again and flipped around." Pangpang's face turned red, and this was equivalent to admitting that he had painted Zeng Yuehong.

"Mom, look, I didn't lie, my elder brother is just in a hurry to get married." Zhuangzhuang hid behind Chen Danxia to prevent Pangpang from beating him.

Pangpang said anxiously: "Mom, I don't, I don't."

Chen Danxia laughed, "It's normal. My son has grown up and is at the age of getting married and having children. However, Pangpang is still filial at home. Your marriage will not be so fast. I will ask someone to hint to Mrs. Zeng. In addition to serving, I will take you to visit the mansion. How can you see?"

"Assuming my mother's arrangements in everything," said Pangpang with his head down.

Chen Danxia turned his eyes and looked at Zhuangzhuang, "Don't drag your elder brother to the Zeng family in the future, so as not to misunderstand your elder brother's frivolousness and bad impressions. Do you know?"

"I understand." Zhuangzhuang responded.

On the first day of the Lixia, Xu Lang, who had gone out for several days, came back. The little maid who was holding a curtain saw it from afar and hurriedly bowed her knees to greet her. When Xu Lang entered the door, he saw Chen Danxia lying on the small table on the couch, holding a pen to draw something.

Chen Danxia's painting skills are far less good than her chess skills. After all, she spends much more time playing chess than painting. Today, Chen Danxia did not read chess scores, but painted. Xu Lang felt it was a bit strange and asked with a smile: "What are you painting?"

"You are back." Chen Danxia put his pen down and raised his eyes and smiled. "For drawing the jade pendant, a truck of raw stones was sent to southern Yunnan. It just so happened that the newly made clothes did not have suitable jade accessories. I was idle, so I drew my own tricks and asked the master to carve them into jade pendants to press your robes."

"My wife has trouble." Xu Lang leaned over and pecked her lips.

"Look at it, you like it." Chen Danxia showed him the drawings.

Xu Lang took over three drawings, one of which was painted with orchids, sparse and elegant; the other was painted with a kirin flying in the clouds, vivid; the other was painted with a double crane holding Ganoderma lucidum, simple and bright; the drawing was very beautiful, and it was very suitable for him.

"I like it very much." Xu Lang smiled.

Chen Danxia asked Qingxiang to take down the drawings.

At noon, after eating and drinking, Xu Lang lay on the couch with his limbs spread out, sighing: "It's better to be at home." Of course, the hard work is worth it. After catching the assassins arranged by Queen Zhao, the King of Yan could be safe and worry-free on the way back.

"It's very hard to go out?" Chen Danxia sat beside him, peeled a loquat, and fed it to him.

"Sleeping in the open in the wind." Xu Lang grabbed Chen Danxia's hand, "Okay, you eat it yourself."

"Isn't it delicious?" Chen Danxia peeled it and put it in his mouth, spitting out the core, "It's very sweet."

"I just ate too much, but now I can't eat it." Xu Lang explained.

Chen Danxia stopped feeding him, and finished the small plate of loquats by himself and stayed to clean his hands.

The next day at the beginning of summer, in the early morning, Zhang Mu'er sent his servants to send two baskets of fresh cherries. On the beginning of summer, there is a custom of tasting the three fresh fresh; the three fresh fresh fresh water is divided into three fresh fresh trees, the three fresh trees are sausage, puffer fish and white shrimps; the three fresh trees are cherries, loquats and green plums; the three fresh ground is amaranth, cucumber and broad beans. The fresh ground is ripe cherry, the fresh wheat and sweet broad beans are fresh. The duck is mixed with salt and red jade, and the sea snails and eight dishes are green.

We should not eat meat and fish when we are filial. We did not prepare the three fresh water. The three fresh trees and three fresh ground are prepared. In addition to the three fresh food and eggs in the beginning of summer, we should also eat wheat silkworms. The wheat silkworms are made of new wheat. The new wheat is ground into powder and rubbed into cocoons. We will not get sick after eating it. On the beginning of summer, a large scale is hung on the door, and both men and women weigh it on the scale. After eating the wheat silkworms, they eat stalls and cut the ridges. The golden cauliflower is used to cut the ridges. The scale is hung on the beam and laughs at the boudoir.

After the beginning of summer, the weather was hot every day. After fifteen days, it was Xiaoman's solar term. King Yan had arrived at Taihang Mountain and began to worship the sky and pray for blessings. Empress Zhao also chose a concubine and two concubines for the fourth prince. The concubine was Peng Jin, the eldest daughter of Chengen Hou Peng Li; Chengen Hou was the emperor's uncle. Although he did not serve in the court, since Master Cai no longer served as the head of Zhaowenguan, Peng Li began to take charge of Zhaowenguan. Most of the newly promoted young officials in the court were his disciples, which was a group that should not be underestimated.

With civil servants, there must be military officers. One of the concubines was the daughter of the Left Minister of War, and the other was the concubine of Duke Liang. Empress Zhao also chose three wives for the fourth prince, one of whom was Xi Wenjuan, the daughter of Xi Daoye, the chief minister of the Tumen. When he learned that Xi Wenjuan was chosen as the wife of the fourth prince by Empress Zhao, Tao's expression seemed very strange for a moment.

Xi Wenjuan was the emperor's concubine in her dream, but now she has become the emperor's son's wife. This change is really unexpected. Of course, Tao did not tell this matter, but was just kept in her heart.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the King of Yan returned to Jindu and entered the palace to meet the saint. "Father, there are obviously a group of skilled people hidden among the refugees. Most of the guards of Erchen were lost in their hands, and the remaining people were also dispersed. Erchen jumped into the river by chance and escaped."

"It was Lao Er and Jiang Chongrui who asked someone to do it. Now they have suffered the consequences." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Father, wise." Yan Wang Xiao flattered.

After coming out of Qinzheng Hall, the King of Yan went to Qiyuan Palace to meet Zhao Queen and sat in front of Zhao. The King of Yan asked with a smile: "Looking at me being unscathed and returning safely, are you very disappointed?"

Empress Zhao pursed her lips and said nothing, the fate of a lowly person is hard.

"I heard that my mother has chosen a good marriage for the Fourth Emperor's Brother, congratulations." King Yan said with a smile.

Empress Zhao sneered twice and said, "If you don't say those words, you can leave the palace if you don't say them." She directly issued an order to expel guests, which shows how disgusted she was to the point of King Yan.

"Yes, my son is leaving." After the King of Yan stimulated Zhao, he didn't want to stay for a long time and left the palace and returned home.

At the entrance of the palace, I met the fourth prince who had just returned from the palace. Standing beside him was a man holding a sword. The fourth prince was very happy to see King Yan, "Brother of the Great Emperor, it's great to see you come back safely."

King Yan smiled and glanced at the man beside the Fourth Prince. For a moment, he felt that the man had murderous aura. This man was from the Fourth Prince and could not have murderous aura towards the Fourth Prince. The person he targeted should be himself. It seems that his fourth prince's brother is not as "simple" as he looks on the surface.

The two brothers talked a few times, and one left the palace and the other entered the palace, and went against the scene. Yang Lingzhi led the women and children in the mansion to take big makeup and welcomed the King of Yan back to the mansion at the door. Looking at Yang Lingzhi, who had become thin because of his unclear life and death, even though the King of Yan was a stern heart, he couldn't help but feel a little softer, and stepped forward to help her up and said, "You have worried these days."

When the refugees rushed over, the uninformed people looked extremely dangerous. In fact, he had already arranged a master around him, and only his substitute fell into the water, and he was not present at all. However, this matter naturally cannot be made public, and the women in the house were also kept in the dark.

Yang Lingzhi shed tears and said, "I am worried about it, it's okay. If the prince has nothing to do. If the prince has something to do, I can only go with the prince. Until now, I still think that the prince will be able to return safely."

A surprise flashed in the King of Yan's eyes. How could his princess become so good at speaking after a few months? Although he was angry that day, he said in front of Tao that Yang Lingzhi was not worthy of his mother's favor, but after calming down, he knew that if he was the emperor, Yang Lingzhi would be the queen. Others in the Duke of Pei's Mansion knew how to advance and retreat and strongly supported him. For the sake of the people of the Duke of Pei's Mansion, he could not break the bridge.

That night, King Yan rested in the main courtyard and had a good time with Yang Lingzhi. Yang Lingzhi was overjoyed. Before King Yan left, he had not touched her for a long time. Is it better to get married today? Yang Lingzhi did not hold the reserve of a lady from a family and catered to him enthusiastically, so that the weak king could eat the marrow and realize the taste. He asked her twice before he could stop.

The next day, Yang Lingzhi served King Yan with a shy look on her face and sent King Yan away. After washing up, Yang Lingzhi sat in front of the dressing table, touched her rosy cheeks, and smiled sweetly; Pang Lin held the jade comb and stood behind her to comb her hair. Yang Lingzhi took a gold silk bracelet, handed it to her, and said, "I'll give you my reward."

"Thank you Princess," Pang Lin said with a knee. The words at the door of the mansion were taught by Pang Lin, and she also taught Yang Lingzhi to cater to the King of Yan on the bed.

Pang Lin stood firmly beside Yang Lingzhi and became Yang Lingzhi's confidant. However, it was not easy for her to instigate Yang Lingzhi to deal with Chen Danxia. It was not that Yang Lingzhi refused to deal with Chen Danxia, ​​but that Chen Danxia would stay in the door and stayed in social activities, so Yang Lingzhi could not find a chance. Pang Lin said bad things about Xu Xi in front of Yang Lingzhi, which caused the relationship between the two to be extremely different. If Xu Xi had not tried his best to tolerate it, the Yan Prince's Mansion would have been in full swing.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the emperor's temper became more and more irritable. The sequelae of taking too much elixir was developed. He was dry and unable to calm down and did not want to eat. One day, he had a nosebleed, which scared all civil and military officials to fear. This was a stance that would be a national mourning!

The imperial doctor diagnosed the emperor, but he couldn't tell the reason. The emperor refused to drink the useless bitter medicine. After the morning court, the emperor went back to Qinzheng Hall to correct the memorial. Not long after the correction, the emperor became angry again, "Li Deqing, are you going to burn me to death? Why are you putting so many ice basins? Let's bring in a few more ice basins?"

Li Deqing, who was trembling with his arms, was almost crazy. The palace was almost an ice cave, and the emperor still felt hot. This was wrong. Although Li Deqing felt that there might be something wrong with the emperor's body, he did not dare to speak out. He went out and asked the eunuch to carry in a few ice basins, which made the palace even colder. Li Deqing rubbed his nose and forced the sneeze to stop.

The ice basin was added, and the heat in the emperor's body did not relieve the slightest. He still felt the heat. He couldn't stand it and paced back and forth around the ice basin anxiously, "Go and send Taoist Master Huichun."

Priest Huichun had not arrived yet, Zhao Hou arrived first. As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Hou felt a chill. The emperor saw Zhao Hou and asked, "Zi Tong, why are you here on this hot day?"

"I have made a cool and cool mung bean soup, and after it is frozen, I specially sent it to the emperor for drinking." Queen Zhao saw the emperor's cheeks flushed, and his heart sank.

"Zi Tong has trouble." The emperor was willing to give Zhao Hou a favor, picked up the bowl, finished drinking mung bean soup, squinted his eyes slightly, "comfortable."

But this mung bean soup only made the emperor feel comfortable for a moment. After a while, he felt hot all over and said, "Zi Tong, do you think the Jindu is particularly hot this summer?"

Empress Zhao didn't think so, but said, "This summer is particularly hot."

"Zi Tong, let's go out of the palace to escape the summer heat. What do you think?" the emperor asked.

Empress Zhao's eyes flashed slightly and said, "Let's go to the Matou Mountain Palace."

With the support of Empress Zhao, the emperor passed on an order for officials in the court, royal relatives and nobles to accompany him to Matou Mountain to escape the summer heat.
