Tiance

As soon as the three of Bai Jincheng entered the gate of Kaifeng mansion, the servants gathered happily. Hearing Bai Jincheng's words and seeing Bai Yutang's expression, they also felt a little embarrassed, and explained to Bai Yutang one after another: "My lord, we are here in Kaifeng. The people in the government are really not like that, really!"

Fifth Master didn't believe it at all.

The yamen servants had no choice but to say hello to Bai Jincheng and Zhan Zhao, and then said to them, "Guard Bai Zhan, the lady in the kitchen made big elbows with honey sauce for lunch today!"

Bai Jincheng immediately gave them a thumbs up: "I know me too well! Go to the door and help me bring Niuniu in. Xiaozhan and I will go to the kitchen first! Oh, and Taotao and Yutang's Jade Lion." It flew up from the horse too quickly.

But before the yamen servants came to lead them, Niuniu and Taotao came in by themselves, and the jade lion followed behind eagerly.

"Baby, are you hungry? Are you not hungry? Then you go to the stables by yourself. Daddy will eat first, and then he will give you a bath after eating!" After the girl who came over by touching her confessed, Bai Jincheng pulled Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang He went straight to the kitchen, and received cries of surprise from the little maids along the way, but those cries were all directed at Bai Yutang... Bai Xiaowei even heard the little girls discussing whether there will be another new girl in the mansion. Idol.

Bai Yutang thought it was quite fresh, because he didn't expect the atmosphere in Kaifeng Mansion to be so life-like, not majestic at all.

The three of them finished their meal, Zhan Zhao took Bai Yutang to rest, and Bai Jincheng went to the stables to bathe Niu Niu. He was busy when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, it was actually Zhao Zhen.

"Why are you here?" Bai Jincheng was a little surprised, "You know I'm back so soon?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "I originally wanted to try my luck to see if you came back, but I heard that you were back when I first arrived. I have a lot to say these days, but you are not here."

Only now did Bai Jincheng realize that he had lost a lot of weight, and his brows were a little gloomy, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Did something bad happen?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at him, sighed and said nothing.

Maybe it's something that is inconvenient to talk about here... Bai Jincheng hastened to wash Niuniu up, then wiped his hands and pulled Zhao Zhen to his room.Zhao Zhen was dragged by him in a depressed mood until he entered the room and closed the door before he sighed again.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jincheng asked him puzzled, "What else can make you so unhappy?"

Zhao Zhen stayed for a long while before whispering, "The queen is going to die."

"What?!" Bai Jincheng was shocked, "Didn't you say in your last letter that she was about to give birth?"

"I have already given birth to a son. She was born a few days ago, but after she was born, her body is not good." Zhao Zhen's face was a little confused, "I kept telling her to relax, but she didn't seem to get up. What effect."

Bai Jincheng patted him on the shoulder, not knowing what to say.

"She was chosen by Empress Dowager Liu for me, because Empress Dowager Liu has always liked her very much. She has a spoiled temper. She often quarreled with me before, and once scratched my neck because she was too excited. The ministers treated her There are also some criticisms, but Empress Dowager Liu has always loved her very much," Zhao Zhen said with a sad expression, "Later, Empress Dowager Liu died, and she was always in a state of anxiety, fearing that I would depose Empress Dowager, because she was afraid that I would take my anger on her for Empress Dowager Liu, and I was very angry when she hurt me, and the emperor didn't like her very much. She was pregnant when Empress Dowager Liu died, so I told you about this..."

Of course, Bai Jincheng laughed at him for being stupid when he saw him always talking to himself about having a son.

He nodded and asked, "Then why would she..."

"She hasn't been able to eat or sleep well. There are two beauties who hold a grudge against her because she beat her before. They even tried to stimulate her without telling me, saying that I would hand over the child she gave birth to Concubine Pang to raise." "," Zhao Zhen sighed, "I never thought that my harem would be so sinister. She has been suspicious all the time, and it was useless for me to comfort her. She was getting worse and worse. She had a difficult childbirth a few days ago, and finally her son was born. But she herself... the imperial doctor said that the rest of the day is just a matter of living, and it probably won't last for a few days, and now she has been in a coma."

Bai Jincheng didn't know what to say, so he could only say dryly: "If you want to be more open, don't be too sad, your son still depends on you."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "I know...Actually, although I have no love for her for so many years, there is always some love between husband and wife. I never thought of angering her because of the Empress Dowager Liu. She is still so young. , not even 20 years old..."

He smiled wryly and sighed, "I don't know who to tell these words. If you don't come back, I'm afraid I'm going to be depressed. Telling you now, I feel a lot better, like As you said, the son still depends on me. I can’t believe the women in the harem now. Those two beauties were sent home by me. Now besides the queen, there is only one concubine Pang, but she is not the child’s mother. , I dare not hand over the child to her, not because I am afraid that she will harm the child, but after all, it is not my own, and I am afraid that she will not take good care of it. I can only let the emperor look at it first, but the eyes of the emperor are not convenient... ..."

Bai Jincheng frowned and said: "Then what are you going to do? Would you like to ask Mistress Di to take care of you?" Mistress Di is the concubine of the Eighth Prince.

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Miss Di is already in the palace now, helping the emperor take care of the child, but she can't live in the palace forever. Fortunately, I have nothing to do recently, and I have some free time. When the child is full moon, I can also take it with me when I have time."

"Isn't that very tiring?" Bai Jincheng looked at his face and couldn't help but said, "Can you hold it?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Actually, it's not very troublesome, the child is very good and doesn't cry much, and the nanny and palace maids will take care of him, and I can just hug him and coax him. "

His smile was not as comfortable as before. Bai Jincheng was a little worried. He didn't want to mention the matter of telling his trainers when he returned to Kaifeng, for fear of causing him more trouble.

But he asked himself: "Hanzhang, have you decided to help me build Tiance Mansion?"

Bai Jincheng originally only planned to help him train some people, but seeing him like this, he decided to make him happy: "Well, but I don't think it's necessary to make it so big at first, try it in Kaifeng first, and build a mansion if the effect is good. how do you feel?"

"Then are you willing to be the leader?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Bai Jincheng nodded, "Just take it to make you happy. But it's not busy, you are now..." He didn't say the rest, after all, it's not easy to say that Zhao Zhen might have to deal with the empress's next step thing.

Zhao Zhen asked him suddenly: "Hanzhang, do you drink well?"

"Anyway, it must be better than you." Bai Jincheng said.

"Then you drink with me," Zhao Zhen said, "Don't you say that getting drunk relieves a thousand worries?"

Bai Jincheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What silly things are you talking about? Isn't it just as sad when you wake up? Getting drunk is too bad for your body. You're so emaciated now. What if you get sick?"

Zhao Zhen murmured: "But I'm very tired...I haven't slept well recently, and I always dream that the queen is dead and the child is not taken care of."

"Then go to sleep. If you sleep too late, I'll take you back to the palace." Bai Jincheng quickly made the bed and waved to him, "Come here, my bed is very comfortable."

Zhao Zhen stayed for a while, walked over silently, took off his shoes, got into the quilt and closed his eyes.

"You took off your outer robe anyway..." Bai Jincheng had no choice but to pull him up, "Hurry up, with your hair, can you sleep with a hairpin comfortably?"

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and spread his hands: "Then help me, I have no strength."

Lieutenant Bai had no choice but to help him loosen his hair and take off his coat and stuff it into the quilt, "Okay, let's sleep with you."

Zhao Zhen lay down with his eyes closed, and Bai Jincheng sat on the bedside and watched over him. After a while, he suddenly heard him say: "Hanzhang, thank you for being my friend."

Bai Jincheng smiled, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Well, thank you for treating me as a friend." If Zhao Zhen didn't treat him as a friend, I'm afraid he would have been chopped off for "disrespect" by now head off.

Maybe it was because he finally spoke out the worries that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, or maybe it was because it was more reassuring to have a friend by his side, Zhao Zhen soon fell asleep, and slept deeply.His guards outside the door didn't even wake him up when they came looking for him.

Bai Jincheng went out and explained: "The official is resting, I will tell you when he wakes up."

The guards also knew that he had a good relationship with Zhao Zhen, and also knew that he was good at martial arts, so they didn't enter the door at ease, and guarded the door directly, and brought Bai Jincheng's dinner when it was dinner time.Master Bao also came to look at it during the period, knowing that Zhao Zhen sighed after sleeping, and said to Bai Jincheng: "Take good care of the official family, he is not in good spirits recently." Then he left.

Zhao Zhen hadn't woken up when it was dark, Bai Jincheng thought that if he sent him back to the palace later, he would definitely be reluctant to order supper, so he just asked a guard to go to the kitchen lady to fry two dishes and bring them over , and then went to wake up Zhao Zhen by himself.

"Guanjia, wake up," he patted Zhao Zhen a few times, but he still didn't wake up, he was too sleepy, so he pinched his face, "Guanjia, Zhao Zhen, Zhenzhen, wake up."

The guards with good martial arts outside the door dropped their jaws.

Bai Jincheng yelled again for a while, Zhao Zhen woke up, and asked him blankly as soon as he woke up: "What did you call me? Zhenzhen?"

Captain Bai didn't change his face: "You heard it wrong, my name is Zhao Zhen. Put on your clothes and send you back to the palace after dinner."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "It's good to be called by my name. I always feel awkward when I hear you call me an official. I will call you by my name in private in the future." Then he got up and put on his clothes, combed his hair, and took him over. After wiping his face with the hot towel handed over, he ate two bowls of rice with those two dishes, and even boasted: "Your kitchen lady is really good at cooking."

Seeing that his mood was not as depressed as before going to bed, Bai Jincheng couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, then pulled him out and sent him back to the palace.

Don't mention how weird the guards looked at him when he went out - it was the first time they heard someone dare to call Zhao Zhen "Zhenzhen"!

The author has something to say: in history, the Empress Dowager Liu chose the empress surnamed Guo, who was the first empress of Zhenzhen. , such as closely monitoring him and not allowing him to get close to other concubines. In short, he was domineering in the harem. He was so angry that he almost abolished the empress. Later, Empress Dowager Liu died, Zhenzhen began to ignore her, and she began to attack her very hard. Zhenzhen's other concubines even fought with them, and accidentally scratched Zhenzhen's neck... Later, Zhenzhen really destroyed her.Then she died the following year.Of course, she didn't have a son in history, but since she's a Romance fan and a Danmei fan, let Zhenzhen have a son...
