After leaving Bai Shicheng, Zhao Lin hummed a song and was in a good mood.
Yun Zhiyi asked, "Master, will Bai Shicheng really be fooled?"
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "What do you mean by being fooled? I didn't lie to him. I was just giving him a friendly reminder."
…
When Zhao Chenhan returned home, he excitedly told Han Yuehua that Fu Chengwang had recognized him and that he would marry into the Zhenbei Marquisate as soon as he could go to the Bai family to cancel the engagement.
"You are indeed my mother's good son. You are excellent."
Han Yuehua was overjoyed.
Zhao Mingya was also delighted and said, "As long as Chenhan marries Qing'er, my brother-in-law will value you even more. And whether Master Fu is willing or not, he will stand on our side. Even if he doesn't come, others will think he has. In this way, our strength will surpass that of the Crown Prince, and my brother-in-law's chances of ascending to the throne will increase a lot."
At home, they occasionally heard Han Yuehua and Zhao Jingzhou discussing important matters in the court and knew the current situation.
"Yes!" Han Yuehua nodded and said, "Good son, you have done a great service. I will write to your father immediately and ask him to drive away the Beidi and come back to propose marriage."
Zhao Mingzhu, who came back with Zhao Chenhan, frowned slightly and said, "Mom, Zhao Lin and Miss Fu originally had a good relationship. Now that Chenhan has married Miss Fu, it's like he's snatched Zhao Lin's marriage. Zhao Lin will definitely be sad. We have to find him a good marriage partner."
"Why bring up that rebellious son on such a happy day?"
Han Yuehua immediately looked displeased and said, "What's the point of having a good relationship? Fu Chengwang doesn't even like him. Even if Miss Fu were to marry anyone else, she wouldn't marry him. How can we say that we stole his marriage? Don't say these things again in the future, or that rebellious son will feel like we owe him something."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed softly, knowing that her mother still had some opinions about Zhao Lin, so she could only secretly decide to ask Zhao Lin to find a good marriage as compensation.
But before they could get over their joy, Bai Shicheng came to make trouble.
Although Bai Shicheng's ability is not as good as Bai Shiyuan's, he is the young master carefully trained by the Bai family. Zhao Lin showed him the way and asked him to do it immediately.
Bai Shicheng found Bai Shiyuan and told him what happened. Bai Shiyuan was furious. The couple who framed Bai Shicheng immediately became Zhao Chenhan's men. Bai Shiyuan took them to block the gate of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and made a fuss for a while.
The key point is that the couple admitted that they were hired by Zhao Chenhan, and they even stated the time and place, which was very convincing.
Zhao Chenhan naturally didn't want to take the blame.
Bai Shiyuan was so angry that he reported it directly to the emperor.
Zhao Jingzhou was not at home, so Han Yuehua had to go to the court in person to defend herself.
The emperor didn't know who to punish, so he could only scold both sides and tell them to get out.
The two sides fought for a while.
It became the biggest event in the capital after the New Year, and everyone enjoyed a great show.
It was not until Fu Chengwang spoke angrily that the two families temporarily stopped fighting and made peace.
However, the Bai family and the Zhenbei Marquisate became enemies from then on.
Bai Shicheng threatened to teach Zhao Chenhan a lesson and to defeat him in the palace examination.
Zhao Chenhan claimed that he would definitely rank higher than Bai Shicheng in the palace examination and would become the top scorer.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and it seemed as if they would stab each other with knives if they disagreed.
But that doesn't matter.
Bai Shiyuan married the daughter of Prime Minister Li Chengqian, who was a member of the prince's party.
Therefore, the Bai family and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion have been at odds for a long time.
It was hard for Fu Chengwang.
I originally wanted to choose a good husband for my daughter, but after this commotion, it would be wrong to choose anyone.
Just suppress it and don't mention it.
He did not go to the Bai family to cancel the engagement, but asked Zhao Chenhan to go to the Fu Mansion for guidance.
It seems to be so peaceful.
But everyone knows that the matter between the Bai family and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is not over.
To put it simply, this is the hatred of having one's wife taken away from him.
To put it in a broader sense, it was a dispute between the Prince's Party and the Prince Yu's Party.
Sooner or later it will explode completely.
It depends on who has the last laugh.
"Zhenbei Marquis Mansion! Humph, when the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, he will definitely destroy them."
Bai Shicheng said angrily.
Bai Shiyuan's face also looked unhappy.
For a woman, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion actually did such a despicable thing, which is simply disgusting.
"Zhao Jingzhou controls the Zhenbei Army, so Your Majesty cannot easily touch him. However, the Zhenbei Army is the key to success and failure."
"Zhao Jingzhou has controlled the Zhenbei Army for too long, and even the Crown Prince's men haven't been able to infiltrate it. When the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, he will definitely clean up the Zhenbei Army. That will be the time for us to take revenge."
Bai Shiyuan said.
"After destroying the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, I will take all those women."
Bai Shicheng said excitedly: "I have been coveting the five golden flowers of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for a long time."
"Shut up. Zhao Mingzhu is the Princess of Yu and the Crown Prince's sister-in-law. How dare you touch her?" Bai Shiyuan shouted.
Bai Shicheng quickly said, "The Princess of Yu is naturally the Crown Prince's. I want the remaining four."
Bai Shicheng looked at Bai Shiyuan's unfriendly face and said aggrievedly: "You pick two first, and give me the remaining two."
"You bastard! Go study. If you lose to Zhao Chenhan, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." Bai Shiyuan said angrily.
…
"Mom, when my eldest brother-in-law takes the throne, don't let the Bai family go."
Zhao Chenhan went to Han Yuehua to complain: "They actually slandered me and framed Bai Shicheng. It's ridiculous. Is it necessary to frame someone like Bai Shicheng?"
"My dear son, don't be angry. They are the prince's party. When your brother-in-law comes to power, he will never let them go. No one in the Bai family will be left alive." Han Yuehua said while hugging Zhao Chenhan with heartache.
"And Fu Chengwang, you have such an excellent son-in-law, why don't you settle down quickly? Instead, you are still picky and won't let him go in the future." Han Yuehua said.
"Yes, I want to marry Miss Fu." Zhao Chenhan said.
"Fu Liqing is nothing. As long as your brother-in-law ascends the throne, he will at least make you the King of Zhenbei. You are a prince, so what woman can you find? Fu Liqing is only worthy of being your concubine." Han Yuehua disagreed.
…
"This Zhao Chenhan is not simple."
Li Weibai obtained Zhao Chenhan's so-called mission record for Fu Chengwang from a small source and carefully reviewed it. "He's decisive in killing and punishing, and clear in rewards and punishments. No wonder he was able to change Fu Chengwang's mind. Compared to him, Bai Shicheng is indeed a little behind, and Zhao Lin is also inferior. I wonder if Bai Shiyuan can surpass him."
Li Weibai took out a small notebook, wrote Zhao Chenhan's name on it, and marked "adopted son of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion" next to it.
Putting down the small notebook and thinking for a while, Li Weibai picked it up again and crossed out the words "adopted son of the Marquis of Zhenbei" and wrote "the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who is quite loved by Zhao Jingzhou and his wife".
"Although he is Li Jingzhong's brother-in-law, it is not impossible to fight for him as a candidate for concubine for the time being."
Li Weibai added a few more words to the little notebook.
When flipping through this small notebook, you can see many names on it, such as Bai Shiyuan - Queen, Zhao Lin - Concubine, etc.
…
Time passes quickly.
February.
That is February of the 24th year of Chengping.
The second year since Zhao Lin came into this world.
The imperial examination began.
