"The empress summoned my sister to the palace because she wanted to see me?"

Realizing that he had been deceived, Mr. Zhao blurted out.

"snort!"

When the Queen Mother Zhao heard his words, she immediately narrowed her majestic pale golden eyes.

"You also said that you didn't enter the palace because of Zhao Shangxin?"

Her tone had become dangerous.

"Your Majesty, I misunderstood."

Zhao Cuo knew that it was best not to make this bad woman angry at this time. My sister was still outside. God knows what the Queen Mother would do if she was unhappy.

Judging from the three paintings on the wall, the female devil seemed to like him to death.

But if this woman was really angry, she wouldn't be polite to him.

"Your Majesty, you must have something serious to do when you call my sister here, right? It's just a matter of a few words that you want to see me, so there's no need to go around in such a big circle. I'm here to pay my New Year greetings sincerely, and I have no other intentions."

Young Master Zhao tried to prove his innocence, and as he spoke, he walked to the bedside and sat down as if nothing had happened. This behavior would make someone lose their head no matter who he looked at.

"Have I allowed you to sit down?"

The cold color in the Queen Mother's beautiful eyes is even stronger.

"The Queen Mother regards me as her nephew. This is the New Year, so I will enter the palace to show my filial piety to you. Can I give you a squeeze?"

Young Master Zhao tentatively put his hand into the quilt, grasped a soft little foot like a tender lotus root with ease, and carefully pulled her pair of beautiful white and fragrant legs onto his lap.

'If I weren't afraid that you would bully my sister, I wouldn't serve you.'

He gently squeezed the soft calf of Queen Mother Zhao, feeling somewhat depressed, but he felt at ease after thinking that this woman had indeed saved his life.

"oh?"

The aloof Queen Mother Dayu was visibly startled after her feet were caught.

"In the past, you were reluctant to pinch my feet. You were not obedient at all. How come you still know how to honor me today?"

"What did the empress say? I have always been loyal and obedient to your words."

Zhao Cuo opened his eyes and told lies.

"Glib!"

Of course, Empress Dowager Zhao could hear his perfunctory tone, but she was not angry, nor did she blame Zhao Cuo for touching her without permission.

'Huh...'

Seeing that she did not continue to attack, Young Master Zhao felt a little relieved, but then his hands began to be dishonest. He touched the soft jade feet along the tender and beautiful legs, and gently touched the delicate soles.

To be honest, he firmly refuses to admit that he is a football fan.

But the touch of the little devil's feet is really irresistible.

"Tsk."

The Queen Mother looked at the handsome young man sitting at the end of the bed with undisguised disgust, but there was a hint of amusement in the corner of her mouth, and then she didn't bother to talk to him and looked at Fei Wu who was aside.

"Bring me that envelope."

She obviously didn't specify whose memorial it was, but Feiwu quickly brought what the Queen Mother wanted, which made Zhao Cuo understand that there was a reason why the aunt could watch them flirting all day long.

"This is your father's secret message."

"Is it related to my sister?"

Zhao Cuo did not pick up the memorial she handed over. The current secret memorial system of the Great Yu Dynasty was pioneered by the Empress Dowager. Senior officials of the fourth rank and above have the opportunity to obtain the right to perform special memorials, and their memorials can be directed directly without any agency.

Sent to the East Palace, this move was even more clever than Wu Zetian's setting up a bronze palace.

Let me ask you, when colleagues can write small reports to the Queen Mother at will, which of those foreign ministers dare to do anything? The secret is characterized by a secret word. Except for the Privy Council ministers who are ordered to cooperate in extracting the main content of the excerpt, no one can do anything.

No one is allowed to pry into what is said in secret.

With this move, she directly concentrated the power of the entire empire on herself.

"Don't you want me to read it to you if you don't read it yourself?"

Empress Dowager Teru, who is a power monster, said dissatisfiedly.

"yes."

Zhao Cuo then took the book from his biological father and read it. First, he respectfully asked for greetings, and then mainly reported on the price of grain and salt in Jiangnan Prefecture. Whether the people's stomachs can be filled will be determined by any wise emperor.

It is a top priority in the eyes, because people will rebel if there is no food to eat.

"Do you know why I summoned your sister here?"

Empress Dowager Zhao still stepped on his legs with a pair of white and tender feet.

"Your father asked me to suggest a marriage for your sister. What do you think? There are some young talents in Beijing who are worthy of your talented daughter Zhao Changxin."

She looked at Mr. Zhao with interest as his expression gradually became subtle.

"This still depends on what my sister wants, right?"

Zhao Cuo said calmly.

"nonsense!"

Queen Mother Zhao's face suddenly turned cold!

"Your father is also loyal to me. Since he has spoken, I will naturally help him solve this small matter. As the saying goes, parents order matchmakers, how can you allow your juniors to make the decision on this important matter of marriage? Your sister is already in her twenties.

A 20-year-old girl should get married as soon as possible and have a husband and children."

Zhao Cuo's expression froze slightly, but he felt that what the Empress Dowager said was correct. In this world, twenty years old can be said to be an age that is almost too late to get married.

"At tonight's banquet, I will show you a good marriage for your sister."

The Queen Mother said in a tone that left no room for doubt. Hearing these words, Zhao Cuo felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but push her foot that was on his lap back into the bed. He turned his head and looked aside, silently.

"Are you angry now?"

She suddenly kicked Zhao Cuo's side with a smile.

"Please also ask your Majesty to arrange a marriage for me."

Young Master Zhao sighed and said, his sister really wanted to get married and there was no way he could stop her. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he should get married as soon as possible. After all, the Dragon Vein Worm could kill him at any time. The four hundred years of incense in Zheng Guogong's mansion was in his hands.

It would be extremely unfilial to stop this.

"What should I do if I am eighteen years old and have no children? The Zhao family has been passed down for several generations, but I cannot cut off the bloodline here."

"Do you want me to give you Fei Wu first to continue the family line?"

Empress Dowager Zhao asked with a gloomy face. Fei Wu had no reaction after hearing this, but Zhao Cuo quickly shook his head.

"How dare I rob someone from my wife's palace? Please appoint a good woman in the capital to marry me and give birth to a legitimate son to inherit the family business."

"Can you say that again."

Empress Dowager Dayu sat up from the bed expressionlessly and stared at Young Master Zhao with cold eyes. Anyone could see that she was really annoyed.

"ah?"

Zhao Cuo couldn't react for a moment. When he saw the undisguised coldness in her eyes, he closed his mouth belatedly.

"Fei Wu, take him to stand outside the East Palace and be responsible for accepting the signs of those women who enter the palace. You are not allowed to leave without permission without my permission!"

The young queen mother said coldly.

Young Master Zhao: "..."

Did he come to the East Palace to stand guard on New Year's Eve? He could only express his protest in his heart, and then obediently followed Fei Wu out of the palace. He watched helplessly as his sister was invited in, but he could only come to the side door of the East Palace.

"Master Zhao..."

Feiwu led him out of the palace gate, with a trace of hesitation on his dignified face, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
Chapter completed!
