Chapter 35
Wang Qinruo's heart was beating wildly and he asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, I am stupid and I don't know why I offended Your Highness. Please make it clear!"
Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "Recently, there have been many rumors on the streets of Bianjing, saying that my palace is weak and sickly, and is not worthy of the talented queen of the royal palace, and why I am eleven years old but have not yet taken on the heavy responsibility of governing the country. I am a waste... Wang Qinruo, to be honest, did you send someone to spread the news? You want everyone in the world to stand up and oppose that I marry your granddaughter, right? Wang Qinruo, you are really good at making a plan!"
Wang Qinruo opened his mouth wide: "Your Highness..."
Bang.
Zhao Zhen slapped the table again and said angrily: "Thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi, don't bully the young man's poor!"
Wang Qinruo was so scared that his face turned pale: "Your Highness..."
Bang.
Zhao Zhen did not give him a chance to speak: "Wang Qinruo, you look down on me, I don't blame you. After all, I am still a child, but you shouldn't use such means to humiliate me..."
Wang Qinruo was about to speak.
Suddenly, a figure broke into the door.
It was Kou Zhun, the first prime minister of the dynasty.
Kou Zhun rushed up fiercely, punched Wang Qinruo, and shouted: "Wang Qinruo, you are so brave, you dare to look down on Your Highness. Who gave you the courage?"
Wang Qinruo covered his eyes and said something, but the people around him could not hear it.
Kou Zhun punched Wang Qinruo again and said furiously: "Wang Qinruo, I will definitely report this to the official family. You not only look down on Your Highness, but also dare to disobey the sage. You are really lawless..."
As he said that, Kou Zhun turned around and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, why worry about having no wife in a real man? Apart from Wang Ningyan of the royal palace, there are so many talented women in the world. The old minister will return to the palace and ask the official to issue an order to choose a concubine for Your Highness!"
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Sir, what he said is reasonable..."
Then he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, slapped it on the table, and sneered: "Wang Qinruo, now I tell you that it is not that your palace is not that your palace looks down on me, but that I don't like your granddaughter. This is a divorce letter. From today on, the engagement between my palace and your granddaughter will be terminated...Mr. Kou, let's go!"
Two old and young people left the palace cursed and cursed.
After a long time, Wang Qinruo fell to the ground, his mind buzzing, and he still didn't know what was going on.
In a pavilion in the distance.
The little maid said in surprise: "Miss, is the prince a ill in his mind? He actually ran to our mansion to break the engagement?"
Wang Ningyan stood up and waved his fists: "Hmph, I thought the prince was a child who was ignorant of the world. Now it seems that this prince is not simple, I like it..."
The little maid was even more surprised: "Oh, Miss, everyone has come to break the engagement. Do you still want to use your hot face to stick his cold ass?"
When Wang Ningyan heard this, she suddenly turned red when she thought of something.
...
On a carriage leaving the royal palace.
Kou Zhun gasped and said, "Your Highness, this kind of thing is not an example... I also want to be shameful. It is more appropriate for Li Di to break the engagement."
All of this was arranged by Zhao Zhen.
In order to successfully break off the engagement, Kou Zhun even changed his previous style of speaking but not acting, and directly punched Wang Qinruo twice.
Zhao Zhen smiled and didn't say anything.
Breaking off the engagement was not his whim or his impulse.
If he really married Wang Qinruo's granddaughter, Zhao Heng would be satisfied.
But what would the people think of him as the prince!
Wang Qinruo could be called one of the Five Ghosts of the Northern Song Dynasty and had a great reputation among the people.
By then, everyone knew that the crown prince had married the granddaughter of a treacherous minister, so why would he scold him?
The reputation that Zhao Zhen finally accumulated was afraid that it would collapse.
What's more, I am still a child!
Isn’t it good to be happy and carefree by yourself?
Why do real men need a wife?
Now, the trouble is finally gone!
After a while, Zhao Zhen said, "If Wang Qin is definitely unwilling to give up, he will cause the matter to Yanqing Palace. At that time, it will be up to the gentleman."
Kou Zhun shook his head like a rattle: "Your Highness, I have enough acting in the royal palace. I must not act in front of the official family!"
His attitude is very firm!
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said, "Add popsicles!"
Kou Zhun gritted his teeth: "Add five more boxes a day."
"make a deal!"
"good!"
The strong Kou Zhun surrendered for five boxes of popsicles.
...
late at night.
The palace.
Wang Qinruo had a bruised nose and swollen face. She sat in the main hall, gasping for air conditioning from time to time.
His son Wang Ding said puzzledly: "Dad, as you told me, I have sent someone to inquire. There are no rumors in the city of Bianjing that slander Your Highness and Ningyan's marriage. Where did Your Highness hear it?"
Wang Qinruo cried and said, "It doesn't matter whether the rumors or not... Now, the prince took Kou Zhun to the mansion to make a big fuss and threw down a divorce letter. If the official knew about it and was unhappy, he really canceled the original agreement, then my palace would be over!"
Wang Ding said in surprise: "Dad, a marriage won't be enough!"
Wang Qinruo said angrily: "You know what's wrong. Yuan'er beat Ding Buju, which has caused a crack between me and Ding Wei. Although Ding Wei didn't say it, he has already carried me on his back during this period... If Ningyan can marry the prince, he will have the chance to become the queen in the future, and our palace can also ascend to heaven. If the marriage fails, will Ding Wei let us go in the future? Maybe, this matter is Ding Wei's secret trick!"
Wang Ding suddenly was stunned.
Wang Qinruo sighed and said, "Only the current plan is to ask for the official family."
...
The next morning.
Wang Qinruo hurried into the palace and arrived at Yanqing Hall.
As soon as he saw Zhao Heng, Wang Qinruo began to cry and complain about his grievances.
Wang Qinruo was old, but she could still shed tears, "...Officials, you have to make the decision for your ministers. I don't know which one of them was the ones who dared to sow discord, spread rumors, and humiliate Your Highness's reputation. Now, Your Highness is angry, and you also ask the official to compassionate the old minister's efforts to make Your Highness take back the divorce letter..."
Zhao Heng was surprised when he heard this!
Such a thing happened to the great Song Dynasty?
He hurriedly said to Zhou Huaizheng: "Transfer to the prince, Kou Zhun..."
Not long after, Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun entered Yanqing Hall one after another.
Zhao Heng asked, "I heard that someone in Bianjing City slandered the marriage between Zhen'er and Wang Ningyan, is there such a thing?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Father, I have indeed had this matter, and my son heard it with his own ears."
Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Zhen and shook his head: "I'm asking about Kou Qing's family!"
Kou Zhun stepped forward, blushing and said, "There is something that happened to the official family. Therefore, the old minister couldn't suppress his anger yesterday. When he arrived at the palace, he punched Wang Shenzhi two times."
Kou Zhun was a veteran of two dynasties and was upright.
Zhao Heng believed his words.
And it caused Kou Zhun to beat someone, which shows how serious the matter is.
Zhao Heng slapped the table and said angrily: "I really don't know how to live or die. I dare to slander the prince. Zhou Huaizheng, and quickly send the Imperial City Department to investigate thoroughly. Once it is clear, I will never tolerate it!"
