Chapter 285: This is your child

Zhao Chen doesn't like to take advantage of his own people for no reason.

Zhao Chen resolutely refused Cheng Chumo's kindness.

Notwithstanding what Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu said, Zhao Chen also considered that if there were no major twists and turns, he and Li Ruoshuang would get married in a month.

Lao Li Tou promised to give him the Marquis Mansion, and the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have already worked overtime.

But still can't make it in time for the wedding.

When it's time to get married, Zhao Chen can't bring Li Ruoshuang to the tavern, right?

Even if Li Ruoshuang didn't care, Li Jing and Hongfu Nu would not agree.

Moreover, the dignified Marquis’ wife cannot live in a tavern, right?

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were asked to go back first, and Zhao Chen accepted the people they brought over.

After all, it’s hard to completely reject the two people’s kindness.

Otherwise, I don’t know what they would think.

Let the generals go back to their homes first, Zhao Chen discussed with Uncle Fu, and then went to Li Jing's house.

…

Queen Changsun left the tavern and went to the Duke Wei's mansion.

After getting nearly 20,000 yuan from Zhao Chen, Queen Changsun was still in a good mood.

Although there is some intention of taking advantage of the situation, what is the relationship between Zhao Chen and himself?

Moreover, Zhao Chencai is really not short of money, but the emperor is a copper coin that cannot be broken in half and spent.

This Wan Guan is of little use to Zhao Chen, but it is different for the emperor.

Empress Changsun arrived at Duke Wei's mansion in a brisk manner. Li Jing did not show up, but Hongfu Nu stood in front of the mansion to greet her.

She knew in her heart why Queen Changsun came to her house today, but Hongfu Nu felt that she was not happy at all.

Xu Lai is his daughter and will marry someone else soon, so he feels a little reluctant to let go.

"Sister, you can't bear to part with that girl Ruoshuang?" Empress Changsun smiled.

asked the girl with the red whisker.

Hongfu Nu naturally nodded.

I was still thinking in my heart that if the queen's own daughter married into someone else's family, she would probably have the same idea as me.

However, she would not say this.

Hongfu Nu was just curious, why was the majestic Empress of the Tang Dynasty so concerned about a young man like Zhao Chen?

You know, even when the prince got married, Queen Changsun only paid a visit to the prince as ordered.

Where would it be like now?

Even if Zhao Chen is very capable and endears himself to Empress Changsun, it will not be like this.

The Queen came to propose marriage in person. If this news reached the hearts of the Crown Prince and King Wei, what would they think?

"Sister, I'm thinking, why am I so concerned about Zhao Chen's child?" Empress Changsun looked at Hong Fu Nu with a smile.

"Since this is the case, the empress is really a little unusual towards Zhao Chen."

"For a long time, I have been wondering whether Zhao Chen could be your child..."

"Nonsense!" Empress Changsun's expression changed and she scolded.

The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Queen Changsun's heart suddenly tightened. Her kindness towards Zhao Chen had already been noticed by many people.

Even Hong Fu Nu began to speculate about the relationship between Zhao Chen and herself.

But she was right. She and Zhao Chen were indeed in a mother-son relationship.

I have owed Zhao Chen for sixteen years, and now that I know his identity, I can't compensate him properly?

Hong Fu Nu just blurted out the words.

But when she heard Queen Changsun scolding her, she herself reacted.

The relationship between the queen and Zhao Chen is that of mother and son. Regardless of whether this is groundless or not, once word spreads, it will be a huge crisis for the Tang Dynasty.

Even the court will tremble.

Don't dare to say this nonsense.

The north wind blew in the yard, and Queen Changsun suddenly felt a little cold.

"Sister, please don't say this to anyone else." Empress Changsun tightened her clothes and said to Hong Fu Nu.

"Okay!" Hong Funu replied with only one word.

"Then Zhao Chen and Ruoshuang's marriage..."

"Don't worry, Madam, the family is ready. As long as the girl likes it, we two old guys won't say anything." Hongfu Nu said with a smile.

She was extremely satisfied with Zhao Chen.

Of course, if Zhao Chen didn't think about fighting those aristocratic families with the emperor!

Queen Changsun nodded.

My mission was finally completed, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground.

Now she is waiting for the New Year, the day when Zhao Chen gets married!

Queen Changsun stood up to say goodbye, and Hong Fu Nu naturally stood up to see her off.

The two of them had only taken a few steps when they saw Zhao Chen wandering in from the outside. The servants of the Duke's Mansion next to him greeted him with a smile.

Now it has been spread throughout the house that Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang will get married on New Year's Day.

Moreover, it was the Queen herself who was the matchmaker.

From now on, Zhao Chen will be their uncle.

Isn't this a good way to curry favor?

"Uncle, are you looking for my young lady or my madam?"

"Madam is talking to the Queen. Would you like me to go and report it to you?"

"My sister is feeding the horse in the stable. It's the sweaty pony that the lady gave to you!"

"My master has given orders not to see visitors, but if you want to go, you can definitely do it!"

The servants of the Duke's Mansion gathered around Zhao Chen and flattered him.

That attitude was better than usual towards Hong Fu Nu.

But the Hongfu girl who was watching from the side was so angry that her eyes widened.

"Sister, it seems that I can really rest assured, so I'll take my leave first!" Looking at Hongfu Nu with an unhappy face, Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled softly before bidding farewell to Hongfu Nu.

Zhao Chen naturally saw Queen Changsun and Hongfu Nu.

Salute to the two of them.

Empress Changsun nodded and saw that Zhao Chen did not raise his head to look at her. She was probably still annoyed that she had defrauded him of nearly 20,000 guan of silver.

Queen Changsun was not annoyed, smiled slightly, patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder, turned and left.

None of the servants of the Duke's Mansion dared to speak at this moment.

Fortunately, Hongfu Nu was not a harsh person, so she waved her hand and let everyone disperse.

"What are you doing here again?"

"Since we have agreed to your marriage to Ruoshuang, we will naturally not go back on it, but can you take into account the reputation of our government?" Hong Funu covered her head. She really had no way to deal with Zhao Chen.

Li Ruoshuang will not marry Zhao Chen if she is wrong.

You are just such a precious daughter, how can you not go along with it?

But Zhao Chen is too bastard.

The wedding date hasn't come yet. What does it look like to come to the Duke's Mansion again and again?

"Zhao Chen didn't think well, but this time he came to discuss something important with Ruoshuang!" Zhao Chen did not quarrel with Hongfu Nu, but bowed his hands to her respectfully.

Hongfu Nu was also intrigued by Zhao Chen's actions.

"If you have something to discuss with Ruoshuang, it's the same thing with me!" Hongfu Nu sat down on the stone bench beside her and reached out to Zhao Chen.

He motioned for him to sit aside.

Zhao Chen was naturally not polite. He looked at Hongfu Nu and was silent for a moment before opening his mouth to explain his purpose clearly.
