Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Zhao Zuo answered one by one: "My grandson has had nothing to do recently. He was reading "Analects of Confucius". When he opened the book, he remembered that this book was given to his grandson by his grandfather when he was just reading the fourth book. , there are also many annotations written by the imperial grandfather, which makes the grandson feel like he has found a treasure, and he is full of emotions after reading it again.

"As for the Wu family——"

He paused for a moment, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, but his tone was still respectful: "My grandson hopes that Mrs. Wu can give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible, but unfortunately there is no good news yet." At the end of the words, his tone dimmed.

The Supreme Emperor did not speak. Zhao Zuo couldn't help but look up at him, his pupils tightening.

The Supreme Emperor was not listening to him. Instead, he was playing with the fish in the porcelain basin on the Kang table with a jade pole. It could be seen that the Supreme Emperor was very focused and did not look at him.

Zhao Zuo suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment, as if he was showing his charming eyes to a blind man, but he did not dare to say anything and could only lower his head in silence.

After a moment, or two, the Supreme Emperor put down the jade pole in his hand and said slowly: "It would be good if you could calm down and read a book. Stop thinking about things when you have nothing to do, and learn more from your imperial uncles."

Then he yawned, waved, and pointed at Zhao Zuo, and someone led Zhao Zuo down.

Zhao Zuo still didn't understand what the Supreme Emperor meant until he left the palace gate.

He felt ashamed and annoyed, feeling that the Supreme Emperor was playing a trick on him by summoning him into the palace without saying anything. Just as he was thinking, a group of people suddenly came over from a short distance away, led by two little kids who were still walking unsteadily.

This pair of little babies are a boy and a girl. They don't look alike, but they are very cute. Their steps were a little hasty, which always made people afraid that they would fall, but they did not let the palace maids and eunuchs next to them hold them, and even helped them a little, and even pushed them away with their small hands.

This group of people soon came to Zhao Zuo and passed him into the palace gate. Zhao Zuo was surrounded by people, and his ears were full of human voices. These voices were not loud, but they were as buzzing as flies, making people feel irritated.

"Little princess, please slow down, you are thrown..."

"Third Prince, please walk slowly..."

It wasn't until these people entered the palace door that the sound faded away, but soon Zhao Zuo heard a burst of the little kid's unique and sharp joyful sound, which was also mixed with the old man's rich laughter.

This laughter belongs to the Supreme Emperor. The imperial grandfather had never smiled like this at himself, not even when he was young.

Zhao Zuo was a little dazed, but he was also filled with aggrievedness and shame. Compared with his previous treatment, all this was like a slap on his face.

He was angry and unwilling, but what could he do? There was nothing he could do now, nothing.

His ears rang again with the words of the Supreme Emperor -

"...Learn more from your imperial uncles..."

What do you want to learn from them? People who were once disdainful and even sworn enemies now have to kowtow to him or even try to please him?

Maybe he should try to have a son after he returns, preferably a twin. Doesn't the imperial grandfather like children?

…

After sending away the two troublemakers who had been clamoring to go to Qianqing Palace, Yao Niang spoke to Emperor Jin'an: "It's good to tell my father about this, so that you won't be caught in the middle and it's hard to be a good person. It doesn't matter whether it's light or heavy. , maybe there will be complaints.”

The so-called thing naturally refers to someone behind the scenes in the previous incident. After all, Emperor Jin'an was not worried about Yao Niang doing this kind of thing, so while agreeing to her, he also asked An Yi to take action.

Who would have thought that An Yi would find something unexpected.

The gangsters who were responsible for collecting debts were not the first time they had done this kind of thing, and no one had ever lost their lives. Who would have thought that something was wrong this time. They also felt very unjust and unlucky, but they did not know that they were not the ones who killed the man, but someone had tampered with him secretly.

With the current power of Prince Yi Hui's palace, he could only do such sneaky things behind his back, but he didn't expect that he would be discovered.

However, Emperor Jin'an did not take action to deal with Zhao Zuo. Instead, he left the matter to the Supreme Emperor. Yao Niang's words were exactly what he said.

"You don't need to take this matter too seriously. It won't cause any trouble. I'm just wronging you."

"What's wrong with me? If a fly doesn't bite me, why don't I see him bite my eldest brother and the others? But it would be nice to send Mrs. Li back, so that my sister won't always be angry with her."

Emperor Jin'an nodded slightly, his eyes turned around on her smooth face, and suddenly his mood became extremely good.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else."

"say what?"

When her eyes met his, her face suddenly turned red.

Chapter 217

Time flies, light flies like an arrow, and more than four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few years, under the rule of Emperor Jin'an, Daqian has undergone rapid changes, the sea, rivers and rivers are clear, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it is a prosperous scene.

And as the queen continued to be her sole favorite year by year, everyone gradually seemed to get used to it. It's like one thing, it's obviously unreasonable, but it's like that when it appears. No matter how external forces intervene, it's still like that. After a long time, everyone felt that it was just the way it should be.

In fact, what Emperor An of Jin said during a morning court session was not without reason. The disputes over the crown prince in all dynasties always caused bloody storms, which led to instability in the court and turmoil in the country, and were not a blessing for the people. The prince was gifted, outstanding in both virtue and knowledge, and he did not want to let the past repeat itself.

This past naturally refers to the childhood of the current King Hui. When King Hui was first named the crown prince, he was also amazing, but unfortunately it was only a flash in the pan. This was inevitably promoted by outsiders, but it cannot be denied that it was because there were too many people who were holding him back.

And the fact that there were many harems was simply to prolong the royal lineage. Since it was considered bad to have too many sons, there was no need to add more harems, and no one would say that he was a first-class tyrant.

I now have three sons, which is enough.

Since then, no one dared to mention this matter. In a small sense, it could be said that Cao had too much free time, and in a big sense, it could be said that he had bad intentions. Of course, there would inevitably be one or two small fish and shrimps that would jump out and suggest that Emperor Jin'an should expand the harem, but Emperor Jin'an ignored it, and no one else seconded it, so he could only ask for trouble.

During this period, an incident occurred. Concubine Liu in the harem was gone, and she died of illness. This incident did not even make a splash in the previous dynasty, and no one even mentioned it.

Only Concubine Xu kept making a fuss during that time, saying that the queen had poisoned Concubine Liu. This was limited to the palace where she lived, because Concubine Xu was completely imprisoned because of this incident, and it was Emperor Jin'an who issued an oral order.

Yao Niang felt very wronged about this, but she did not explain anything.

She used to be very puzzled why Concubine Liu was committed to opposing Concubine Xu, and even tried to please herself a lot since entering the palace, and ruined many of Concubine Xu's good fortunes. Later, she learned that Concubine Liu had never given up the idea of ​​leaving the palace.

This was a tacit understanding, and later with the tacit consent of Emperor Jin'an, Concubine Liu died of illness.

Meanwhile, in a small southern town far from the capital, a young couple appeared.

…

The days continued, and today was the 70th birthday of the emperor.

A few months ago, Emperor Jin’an ordered his subordinates to start preparing for it. It is rare for a person to reach 70, and it is also a rare happy event for the royal family.

The lights in the Forbidden City were on all night, all to prepare for the palace banquet tomorrow. The grand occasion of the emperor’s 60th birthday that year, I am afraid this time will be even better.

Yao Niang has been busy these days, and it feels like she has not been idle since the Spring Festival last year. After finally being busy with the Spring Festival, she was busy with the Lantern Festival, and it was February. Before she could take a break, she started to prepare for the emperor’s birthday.

Although Yao Niang has organized many palace banquets in recent years, it is the first time for such a grand scene, so she is particularly stressed.

Fortunately, this day has finally arrived!

Before dawn, Yao Niang and Emperor Jin’an got up. While washing, Yao Niang asked the maids around her if the princes and princesses had woken up, and asked someone to go and see.

When Xiao Bao turned eight, he moved to Qianxi Wusuo, along with Er Bao. Originally, Xiao Bao, as the crown prince, should have lived in the East Palace, but in order to accommodate Er Bao, the East Palace was simply placed aside.

Anyway, where the crown prince lives is the East Palace.

As for San Bao and Si Bao, they still lived with Yao Niang in Kunning Palace. However, San Bao was about to move out of the palace, and only Si Bao was left. She was the only girl, but she didn't know how to place her, so she was worried about having fewer daughters.

Yao Niang and Emperor An of Jin had just come out of the bedroom, and Xiao Bao came with Er Bao.

It was still dark outside, and the eunuchs in front held the lights, and the two people came in with a crowd of people.

Xiao Bao wore a crown prince's casual clothes. He had just passed his tenth birthday, and he had the majesty of a crown prince. However, this majesty could not withstand a closer look. If you look carefully, you will find that this so-called majesty has no other use except to make Xiao Bao more lovely.

In fact, it was true. At the age of ten, he still hadn't lost his baby fat, and his fair face was still chubby. Even if he imitated Emperor An of Jin, he still gave people the feeling of a little man pretending to be an adult.

Especially his slightly upturned lips inherited from Yao Niang, which also revealed his true colors.

Xiao Bao's mouth was the most like Yao Niang's. It happened that such lips were charming and charming on Yao Niang, but they looked slightly smiling on his face. Everyone in the palace said that the prince was approachable. In fact, it was all misunderstanding. Xiao Bao could only hope that he would grow up and gain more majesty.

He was accompanied by Er Bao. Compared with the slender Xiao Bao, Er Bao didn't look like he was born by the same parents. He was only eight years old, but he was already taller than the ten-year-old Xiao Bao. Not only was he taller, but he was also bigger. It was not in vain that he was so good at eating when he was a child.
