Consort Zhanzhao

The mother and daughter chatted until the clapper rang in the middle of the night before they finally got a little relief.

Young girls are all sleepy, and Zhao Bijia is the same.Not to mention that she hadn't slept in the palace for more than two months, and she felt particularly safe sleeping next to her mother, so until dawn, she still didn't wake up when there was a noise in the room.

Or not fully awake.

In a trance, she seemed to hear the voice of the emperor's father, as if she was going to court, so she stopped by to see her.

After that, Concubine Zhang Gui smiled and said something, but she didn't hear clearly.

After a while, the room seemed to be quiet, and Zhao Bijia felt herself waking up again, before opening her eyes, she opened her mouth and said, "Papa is gone?"

"What did you call me!"

It's over!Not gone yet.

Zhao Bijia subconsciously wrapped herself in the quilt, and Zhang Guifei's whisper and the laughter of her prince's younger brother came from outside, "Sister, I'm going out for a trip, I'm getting more courageous."

Embarrassed and confused, Zhao Bijia fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was already bright, and looking at the spots of light from the sun outside, at least it was time.

Zhao Bijia sighed, it's better to go home, I always have to carry it outside, especially with Zhan Zhao by my side, but I always feel guilty when I sleep too long.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Bijia looked down at her chest before putting on her clothes, in the future... always drag him to sleep late.

Seeing her waking up, Lan Jun brought her hot water to wash her, and said: "His Royal Highness accompanied the emperor to go to court early, and the empress is handling official duties ahead. Tremella soup and eight-treasure porridge are hot on the small stove. I'll serve them to you." Come."

Zhao Bijia felt that the smile on Lan Jun's face...was a bit hard, she nodded in a normal manner, and said, "Bring it to the front."

After washing up, Zhao Bijia went to the front to find Concubine Zhang.

As soon as Concubine Zhang Guifei saw her, she wanted to laugh and felt angry at the same time, "You child! Fortunately, Your Majesty is not angry."

Zhao Bijia looked hopeless, "How do I know he didn't go out, it sounds quiet."

Concubine Zhang's face was a little red. After all, why she was so quiet had something to do with her, so she promptly and quietly changed the subject.

"It's almost time for lunch, your brother and your father will be here soon."

Zhao Bijia took a deep breath and looked at the bowl of porridge and white fungus soup in front of her. If she drank them all, could she use eating too much as an excuse to skip lunch?

Zhao Bijia sighed, and honestly ate with a bowl.

Concubine Zhang Gui is handling palace affairs, but only her palace affairs of Fenglan Palace.

It turned out that the child—especially when Zhao Xuan was not yet grown up, at least half of her heart was in power. After all, Emperor Renzong's heirs were extremely short, and Concubine Zhang Gui had already passed the age of romance, so she knew how to grasp it. What's inside is really your own.

But later the child grew up well, and the two sons and daughters were more successful than the other, not to mention that Zhao Xuan has now become a prince.

Zhang Guifei's current line has completely become indisputable.

In the future, when her son comes to power, she will have everything, so why bother to fight to the death with those people in the harem, and lose her son's position in the emperor's heart in vain.

But even if she is only tossing around in her own one-acre three-point field, she still has a lot of eyeliner in the palace. After all, with Zhao Xuan as a living sign, she has more prestige in recruiting subordinates than others.

What can others promise?No one has a son.

"Alas..." Concubine Zhang Gui suddenly sighed, "People's hearts are fickle."

Zhao Bijia was just finishing her meal, and seeing Lan Jun take the things away, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Concubine Zhang glanced at her, "Concubine Pang's stomach is five months old."

Although what she said was like nonsense, Zhao Bijia not only couldn't roll her eyes, but also had to turn her head quickly. Needless to say, her mother must be worried about Concubine Pang's stomach.

When dealing with palace affairs again...

"She used her belly to be a demon again? Stealing our things?"

Concubine Zhang nodded, "It's the end of the year, and it's time to make offerings. In previous years, I always pick things out first. This time, I didn't know. Your imperial grandmother called her away."

Seeing that Zhao Bijia wanted to talk, Concubine Zhang said again: "I'll pay it back, and your brother, and you, the three of us combined can't compare to Concubine Pang's stomach? She also has a higher level," Concubine Zhang gritted her teeth. Get up, "If she had achieved such great dignity in the past, she would have to show off in the palace, but now, although the emperor has already released her restraint, she doesn't even come out of the palace very much."

Concubine Zhang stretched out her fingers and counted, "I will give the Empress Dowager a morning and evening meal, and in the afternoon, I will go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll, and I won't go anywhere else." Zhang Guifei squinted her eyes. Concubine Pang, who didn't move extra, obviously had nothing to do.

Concubine Zhang Guifei looked at Zhao Bijia, but instead of getting the approval of her own daughter, her own daughter looked at her with a smile, "This is a good thing."

Are you stupid?After Concubine Zhang Gui had another stupid son from a landlord's family, she felt that she had another stupid girl from a landlord's family... But if she is not stupid, can she call her father in front of the emperor?

Concubine Zhang became worried for a moment, and reached out to touch Zhao Bijia's forehead, "I don't have a fever."

Of course there is no fever!

"This is a good thing!" Zhao Bijia said, "Let's talk about the imperial grandmother first, why did you ask her to pick things first?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei thought for a while and said, "Guilty? Compensation?"

Zhao Bijia nodded and said, "But if you really feel guilty, why don't you raise her to the imperial concubine position again?"

Concubine Zhang also laughed, "There is already a Miao family in the position of concubine. Even if she really gave birth to sons, even if she gave birth to two sons at once, she will not be able to come back."

Back then, the Empress Dowager discussed with the Emperor the issue of the child's ownership. They discussed it several times, and the latest conclusion was closer to the conclusion that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, Pang Concubine should not take it with her. However, the Empress Dowager is a woman after all, and her sympathy is always stronger. Yes, I always feel guilty for having someone else's child, so I want to make up for it in advance.

Although neither the mother nor the daughter knew the news, the conclusion of guilt was settled.

"Besides, Concubine Pang, she used to be so arrogant, but now she has become like this little Baihua, which only shows that she is also guilty." Zhao Bijia said to Concubine Zhang as if brainwashed: "My father just likes her Is it bright and arrogant? She even gave up her own characteristics, how can she still be good?"

Concubine Zhang Gui had obviously followed Zhao Bijia in, her brows were still slightly frowned.

"And Concubine Miao," Zhao Bijia smiled again, "Why did Emperor Father mention Concubine Miao as Concubine?"

Concubine Zhang Gui hesitated a little, "Hold me..."

Concubine Miao's intention to become a noble concubine came down with Zhao Xuan on the day when she became the crown prince. Not long after Zhang Guifei was immersed in the joy of her son becoming a prince, she was overwhelmed by Concubine Miao's intention to become a noble concubine.

"But can it be restrained?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhang sneered, "She is also worthy! Your grandfather and your uncle were both Jinshi. What is she? She is the daughter of your father's nanny—"

Hearing the word nanny, Zhao Bijia was distracted for a moment. It turns out that not only the nanny, but also the nanny's daughter cannot appear!

"My family is not as good as me, my children are not as good as me, and my love is not as good as me. Can she restrain me?" Concubine Zhang Gui suddenly regained the aura of a queen who dared to trick her back then, "I don't even know how to die!"

"Then it's over!" Zhao Bijia slapped Concubine Zhang on the leg, and in return gave her a hard stare. "You are a girl! Where did you learn how to use your hands and feet!"

Zhao Bijia shrank her neck, she would not let anyone know that she practiced this kung fu with the intention of slapping Zhan Zhao one day!

His legs must be very strong and powerful!Even if I can't see it, I haven't touched it!

"Everyone knows that she can't restrain you at all, she is just a decoration, so do you understand my father's heart?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei couldn't restrain the smile on her face, she also felt very pleasing to the eyes when she saw her smiling, but then she patted her on the head.

"You are a girl who is not yet married, where did you learn the crooked ways." Although she said this, the joy in Concubine Zhang's voice could float for three miles, "I made the Jinhua ham and drunk crab you brought back at noon."

Seeing Concubine Zhang get up, Zhao Bijia even swayed in her walking posture, thinking that although she is not married, the future sister-in-law has already been defeated by her.

Probably because Zhao Bijia got up too late, and it was already lunch time before she finished her breakfast.

Emperor Renzong and Zhao Xuan came in one after the other. The father and son even walked in almost the same posture. Of course, the small man in the back imitated the adult's steady gait, which was very funny.

It's a pity that in this palace, apart from Zhao Bijia who dared to laugh, even Zhang Guifei had to take into account the majesty and fragile self-esteem of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing the pair of sons and daughters staring at each other without image and temperament, Concubine Zhang Guifei felt a little bit of a sense of having a son and a daughter and everything is fulfilled, she hurriedly pulled her son away, and said to Zhao Bijia: "When you are away, your brother reads every day. You, go to your palace to look around every now and then, for fear that someone will not clean it wholeheartedly."

Zhao Bijia was very happy, she looked at Zhao Xuan with round and bright eyes, "Sister brought you a lot of things back."

Although Zhao Xuan still remembered the prince's demeanor in his heart, his actions were already very "respectful corporal", "I want to sit with my sister!"

A family of four sat around a small round table, and Zhao Bijia finally improved her courage by interrupting, but when she really spoke, she was a little shy, "Father... I was wrong, I shouldn't call you..."

Although Emperor Renzong had a straight face, to be honest, he could recall the word "father" from time to time from the early dynasty to the present.

And speaking of it, no one has ever called him that, not just the name, but the point in his tone... Respect?Of course, with a little intimacy and teasing.

In short, Emperor Renzong would never admit that it has only been two or three hours, and he began to miss this feeling!

It's too... It doesn't conform to the teachings of the emperor for decades, and it doesn't conform to the teachings of the princess!

But seeing his daughter standing timidly in front of him, Renzong felt very conflicted. He sighed for a long time. It's better to let this matter rot in his stomach. He said to Zhao Bijia with emotion that time is gone forever: "Anyway, Father didn't blame you, sit down and eat."

If the emperor wanted to hide his emotions, at least Zhao Bijia would not be able to see it. She sat next to the emperor with a little luck and breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Renzong's mood became more and more complicated. Seeing his daughter just came back for the first day, he was a little sad... He scanned the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Whoever is my princess's filial piety to me, bring it up and put it in front of me." .”

Zhao Bijia was immediately happy.

While several people were eating, Zhao Bijia said, "This drunk crab is from Zhan Zhao's house, and this Jinhua ham is from Bai Yutang's house. I bought this snack on the way, and the dried bacon and bamboo shoots are from my land. "

Speaking of eating, the smiles on everyone's faces are much brighter.

After drinking and eating, the court lady brought up Pu'er tea to digest the food. The emperor took a long breath of comfort, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

People followed him out to make money, his girl... went out and got a lot of things from other people's houses.

Renzong remembered that the last time Zhao Bijia took Zhan Zhao to wander around Bianliang for an afternoon, carrying big and small bags to the palace, the joy of being filled with food seemed to be less intense.

Renzong looked at Zhao Bijia worriedly, did she give the money this time...

Thinking of this, Renzong coughed, his daughter has grown up gracefully, and the Miao family has already started to handle Ming Yi's selection of a son-in-law, and it will be her next year.

Renzong suddenly felt a deep sense of reluctance, but seeing that his daughter was about to be the master of the family, there were still some things that had to be said.

He glanced at Zhang who doted on the child too much, and cleared his throat.

The three people sitting below had been waiting quietly for a long time, and even secretly exchanged a lot of glances.

Concubine Zhang: cheer me up!Your father is going to talk about business!

Zhao Bijia: What are you going to say?Did you make your father angry when you went to court today?

Zhao Xuan:! ! !Obviously it's you!

Renzong sighed for a long time, that's all, I can't tell, my daughter is raised by herself!Go back and find Bao Zheng to deal with her aftermath!

Just when Renzong made up his mind and looked down, Lan Jun came in and said, "Princess Longevity sent someone here, saying that the family brought something from the south, and let His Majesty taste it."

Regardless of whether Emperor Renzong's respect for his aunt was on the bright side or exuded from the inside out, at least on the surface he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hurry up and get someone to send you off." Come in."

Then he looked at Zhao Bijia and said, "See if there is anything you like."

Zhao Bijia nodded, "There are still some for the emperor's grandmother."

Renzong looked at her with relief, his daughter is so filial, and if she finds a son-in-law in the future, the family must be happy.

Princess Wanshou sent a team of elderly nuns, who were maids in the palace in the early years. They were not afraid of life when they saw the emperor, and they saluted the people in the room very generously, and said a few auspicious words , then pointed to the things in the room and said: "These two jars are drunk crabs. They are made of the best female crabs. Each crab is more than six taels."

Zhao Bijia's face was a bit ugly, and Zhang Guifei's eyes could burst into flames.

The visitor laughed again and said, "These two are the best Jinhua hams. It took a lot of effort to pick out these two after searching all over Jinhua."

Not to mention Zhao Bijia and Concubine Zhang Gui, even Zhao Xuan's eyes are going to eat people.He said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid it took a lot of effort for such a good thing."

Mammy has long been ordered by Princess Wanshou to order Li Huailu's name when the time is right, she felt that now is a good time, and said: "No trouble, no trouble, it was all prepared by the family of the former son-in-law, honoring your majesty is the right thing to do. "

Emperor Renzong said "oh", it's not that he didn't see the fire-breathing eyes of his concubine and child, and the gift is the same... Zhao Bijia's jar was said to be a drunk crab brought from Zhan Zhao's house, the big one The big ones and the small ones are obviously made by my own family members.

This kid Zhan Zhao is sincere, given such a good opportunity, he didn't even know how to please him, the emperor.

As for Jinhua ham, it's not that Renzong has never eaten it before. After a while, he found that the taste is still very good.

It's just such a comparison, the things sent by Princess Longevity are a bit deliberate.

"That's right, reward." Emperor Renzong's evaluation of things was just three words.

Mammy was a little surprised, she looked at the action of the maid next to her, obviously she was about to see off the guests, but the emperor had no other orders, so Mammy had no other choice but to be surprised.

Suddenly Zhao Bijia spoke up, "Wait a minute, the son-in-law's descendant... But that young son named Huailu named Li? You don't need a white face..." She looked around the room and smiled, "A head taller than you ?”

Mammy knew that Li Huailu knew the princess a long time ago. Of course, in Li Huailu's description, Zhao Bijia had other explanations for his seriousness, such as shyness or something.

Of course, his face really hurt at the beginning, but it was probably because he had been with Qin Huai for so many years, and he had never met someone who was so indifferent to him. He always felt that if he worked harder, he would succeed.

Of course, this nanny came into the palace with the intention of testing.

Although Li Huailu said that he has a little friendship with the princess, Princess Wanshou is not so easy to believe. After all, she has watched Zhao Bijia grow up since she was a child. Although there are not many opportunities to meet her, she knows a thing or two about her temperament. Li Huailu said If it is, she thinks that two or two achievements are almost enough.

So there is another important task on this nanny, which is to see what Princess Zhen Guo means to Li Huailu.

But Zhao Bijia's words, and the smile on her face, seemed to have given this mama wrong information, she nodded hastily, and said: "What the princess said is that it is the son-in-law's nephew, Li Huailu."

Zhao Bijia looked back at Renzong, and said a little shyly: "I recognized him when we were in Jinling. Then it snowed, we lived in the same inn, and we met on the road."

Now it was Renzong's turn to lose face. He said solemnly: "Understood, let's send the things to the imperial dining room. Go back and say hello to the eldest princess."

This time even the emperor opened his mouth to see off the guests, and Mammy had no excuse to stay, but she took another careful look at Zhao Bijia before leaving.

I saw Zhao Bijia lowered her head halfway, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there were two blushes on her face, she was obviously shy!

The mother couldn't help admiring in her heart: This grandnephew Li Huailu not only looks like a son-in-law, but also has the same means. Look at this princess... Sigh, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape.

When the nanny went out, there was only one family left in the house. Although Renzong was furious, he thought that he had specially sent the calm Shao Yong, and Zhan Zhao who looked very steady, why did he just let the princess see him? What about outsiders!

Renzong remembered Zhan Zhao's face again, and his mother could eat half a bowl of rice after seeing it, and was a little angry: useless guy!I won't give you money this time!

Renzong sighed, looking at Zhao Bijia who was already shy and lowered his head, his heart was gloomy, but on the surface he was still blissful, and asked very kindly: "Tell my father, is the Qinhuai River fun?"

Zhao Bijia's heart skipped a beat, fearing that she would reveal her secrets when she raised her head, she suppressed her voice and said, "Well...Actually...I didn't play much, and I met Mr. Li within a quarter of an hour after I went out."

Have you called your son?Renzong gasped, and glanced at Concubine Zhang in disbelief: Did she tell you about this?

Concubine Zhang Guifei was already bursting with joy, this is really her mother's little padded jacket, but she was as worried as Emperor Renzong on her face, she shook her head lightly: You didn't tell me.

Zhao Xuan, who was completely out of the situation, didn't know who he learned from, and asked innocently, "Why don't you play when you meet Mr. Li?"

What a brother!Zhao Bijia added a point to him, thinking that those strange skirts and headwear would not be given to him.

Renzong's mood is even more entangled than hearing from Qintian that there may be a snowstorm in Bianliang this winter. He has raised a girl for more than ten years, so he will be missed by a pig just by going out!

"What happened later?" Renzong asked again, "What happened to staying in an inn?"

"It snowed later, and he also came to the inn where I stayed first, and wanted to live in the same yard as me—"

Emperor Renzong gasped.

"It's a pity that Shao Yong and Zhan Huwei disagree." Bad, Zhao Bijia felt that this sentence was not good, and he called Shao Yong by his first name, and when it came to Zhan Zhao, he called Zhan Huwei as if to avoid suspicion.

She secretly glanced at her father, relieved... Her father's thoughts were all on Mr. Li, and he didn't hear anything.

It's just... I have listened to the real version of Concubine Zhang who has not added any embellishments and intentionally misleadingly, and I have heard it... But no one is going to see her now.

Renzong heaved a sigh of relief, one was the bodyguard he had used for several years, and the other was the bodyguard recommended by Bao Zheng, they are still trustworthy!

"Later, I met him once on the road. Mr. Li said that we are all a family, and it would be nice to have someone to take care of us when we walk together on the road." This time, Renzong didn't need to ask, Zhao Bijia said everything in one breath.

The room was quiet and quiet. Concubine Zhang Gui had held back her anger for more than ten years, and now at least [-]% to [-]% of it has disappeared. The rest... will naturally be left to Princess Wanshou, and will come out when she is really unlucky.

Zhao Xuan looked at the gloomy father, then at his sister, who was as beautiful as peaches and plums, and felt that something was wrong, and said: "Sister, didn't you tell me the same surname before we can be a family with us?"

Zhao Bijia gave her younger brother another compliment in her heart.

Emperor Renzong suddenly remembered the memorial presented by the governor of Jinling a few days ago, which vaguely mentioned that Li Huailu was disrespectful to the princess.

Renzong glared at Concubine Zhang Gui, it's you!Raising her daughter so innocently, ask carefully what's going on!

Concubine Zhang Gui would feel wronged if she received such stares, but now she can only feel happy!

Renzong stood up with a cry, and said coldly to Zhao Xuan, "Go, it's time for a nap!"

Concubine Zhang Guifei took Zhao Bijia and sent Emperor Renzong away, and when he left, she didn't speak, leaned on the soft cushion and meditated quietly for a while, and then sighed faintly.

"This interest... is really worth it!"
