Funing Hall

Zhao Cong was silent for a long time after hearing this.

The teacup in his hand was also placed on the table, and the nectar water was not drunk anymore.

He was forced to death by himself in his previous life, because he wanted to fight for this and that, and he was unwilling to let go of any of them.What looks beautiful to outsiders, but what is going on inside, only he himself knows.

Luckily, he got his life. He originally only wanted to live his life easily.

When he first came, he was not called this name, his name was Zhao Zongbao.Their family is from the line of the fourth son of the Taizu. When he was born, he happened to be in the last generation. His parents loved him and gave him such a name.He is the eldest son of the royal family, and their family is the direct descendant of the Taizu.Although after several generations, the prince's title has become the county king as usual, but the title will not decline any further.In the future, he will not be able to run away from the position of the son of the world.In the future, no matter how unlucky his luck is, even if he can't compare with the younger brothers in character and learning, and can't inherit the title of county king, he can still be a duke of the country at the last time.

What's more, his parents in his previous life had very little relationship. He is very satisfied to meet such good parents in this life.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of the blessing, the sonless emperor's uncle in the palace wanted to take him into the palace!His parents really didn't have any idea about that person. After learning about it, they hugged their heads and cried bitterly in the inner room.He came from the future world. He has memory and can speak, but he was only a three-year-old child at the time, so he could only say dryly, "Father doesn't cry, mother doesn't cry."

The prince and concubine of Anding County cried even harder.

Counting forward, the father of Prince Anding and the emperor's uncle in the palace belonged to the empress of the Taizu. They were brothers, and he, Zhao Zongbao, was the only legitimate son of the right age in this generation.Regardless of status or age, he is the most suitable.If he doesn't enter the palace, he has to enter the palace.Others thought that their family had benefited a lot, so they didn't know how much pain his parents felt.

Like his parents, he really didn't want to enter this palace at all.

But by the emperor's order, he was only a three-year-old child, so he could only be carried into the palace obediently, and raised under the knees of the Empress Dowager Sun who was still a queen at that time.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years passed by in a hurry.In these years, before the late emperor passed away, there were not no princes born in the palace, and all of them were in good health.However, these princes all died young, it was really not man-made harm, they all died naturally.

Only he, Zhao Zongbao, who had been weak since he was a child, and Zhao Zongbao, who never left his mouth with soup and medicine, survived well, and he is still the only legitimate son of the right age in the Zhao royal family.

Even Zhao Zongbao himself felt that his fate was a bit too peculiar.

In his later years, the late emperor was obsessed with the pills made by Taoist priests, his bones had already been eaten away, and he died early.Before he died, the seriously ill Xiandi hastily made him a prince and renamed him Cong.

Cong, Cong Wang, means beautiful jade, he is the descendant of the emperor's direct line, but he is the only one.

As soon as the first emperor passed away, ten-year-old Zhao Cong hurriedly ascended the throne.

On the day of enthronement, auspicious offerings were presented from all over the country, all officials congratulated him, and the mountain shouted long live.

He offered sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors, wore crown clothes, sat high in the hall, and looked down at the crowd.

But it is rare to be at a loss in my heart.

He really just wanted to finish his life.

And Fu Lu was right, but also wrong.

Empress Dowager Sun, her father Yan Guogong, and many people, including Fulu and Rantao, who took care of him personally, all thought that he was really easy to coax, and they were coaxed into living a stable life every day without any dispute. Empress Dowager Sun controls the government.

They didn't know that his occupation in his previous life was actually a teacher, but not an ordinary teacher.He is a teacher in the film academy, specializing in manners, expressions and lines.In the world of his previous life, many well-known young actors were his students, and they would obediently say "Hello, teacher" when they saw him.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to pretend to be honest.Whether it's laughing or angry, including talking to people, he can act flawlessly.The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that the play is a bit too long.

But he was patient.

He can clearly distinguish the difference between himself and the role, but he doesn't want to break away from the role yet.

For the time being, he still just wants to finish his life.

Fu Lu's eagerness, he can understand, the Empress Dowager Sun is quite a powerful woman, originally the daughter of the Duke's family, with a wide vision and a big pattern.After entering the palace, she is the most honorable woman in the world. Once she gets such an opportunity, can she let it go?She has been in charge of the government for six years, is she willing to let go?

She wanted to be Wu Zetian crazy.

When he first came to the throne, Zhao Cong also thought about it. Every man wanted to be emperor, and his inner desire for power could not be faked.He has really become an emperor, so he is willing to send it out?Although he is young, coupled with the age and mentality of his previous life, if he really moves, the Empress Dowager Sun has no chance of winning.

But his health in this life was really bad, and he passed out after coming off the enthronement ceremony.This became a good reason for Empress Dowager Sun to take over the government. Zhao Cong himself was helpless, so he planned to take care of his health.

Once it was raised, it lasted for six years.

This year is the year when the Empress Dowager Sun "promised" to return to the government, but the Empress Dowager Sun obstructed it openly and secretly, so why do you really want to return it to him?

Zhao Cong picked up the teacup thoughtfully, and took another sip of honey water.

Hearing the sound of him drinking water, Fu Lu knew that His Majesty had already thought about it once, and it would be good if he could think. He said happily: "Your Majesty, the court clothes are ready, and I ironed them myself. I will bring them to Your Majesty." Change it?"

Zhao Cong has lived here for 16 years, but he still has the habits of his previous life. He can't really treat this eunuch who treats him sincerely.He also couldn't bear it in his heart, and he also knew that the Empress Dowager Sun was probably more anxious than him at the moment.Although he hasn't decided whether to continue messing around, it's no big deal to go to the Dachaohui to see Fulu's heart.

By the way, let me tell you that he, Zhao Cong, is still the emperor.

He smiled and said, "Go and get it."

Floo looked up at him in disbelief.

"Silly?"

Fu Lu's eyes were sore, he got up on the ground with his hands and feet, and said, "Go and fetch the little one!" He turned around and walked out in a hurry.

Zhao Cong drank the cup of honey water, smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked the maid to come in and clean his face and wash his teeth.

The palace lady helped him take off the clothes he was wearing, and he was only wearing his inner clothes, waiting for Fu Lu to bring the court clothes.The little maids were twelve or thirteen years old, the Empress Dowager Sun guarded against him, and the maids sent to his palace were not smart, but they were good, honest and cute.The court ladies saw that he was going to wear court clothes, and knew that he was going to the Daqing Palace. No matter how complicated it was, they didn't understand that they had been acting as Zhao Cong because they were unwell, so they didn't take charge.

At this moment, as long as he is much better, they are all happy for him.

A lively little court lady named Chaxi said, "Your Majesty, will my servant comb your hair? You can wear the crown after the official Fu brings the court clothes."

Zhao Cong nodded, not to mention that he became a royal family in this life, even in his previous life, everyone praised him for his demeanor.The palace is too quiet, he likes such lively little maids.

Cha Xi smiled and gently picked up the wooden comb to comb his hair. For a while, there was only the slight sound of the wooden comb touching the hair in the dormitory.

Zhao Cong was a little surprised, why did Fu Lu take so long to hold a piece of clothing?

Before he could ask a question, footsteps came from outside the bedroom, he raised his hand, and Cha Xi stopped.He looked back, and Fu Lu was coming in with his clothes in his hands, but there was a person behind him.

The man had already passed Fu Lu with a smile, walked in front of him, saluted and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"It's Aunt Wang." Zhao Cong quickly stained his face with a smile, "Why did you come here so early? Madam, do you want to tell me something?"

"Your Majesty, my Majesty woke up today. Seeing that the weather is hot and muggy, she was afraid it was going to rain. I was afraid that Your Majesty would feel unwell, so I ordered my servant to come and take a look." For too many years.These words are very beautiful, and the meaning is expressed very directly——

It's going to rain today, so you, Zhao Cong, stay in the Palace of Funing.

Zhao Cong has seen this kind of swaying obstruction since he was a child, and he doesn't think much of it.On the contrary, it was Fu Lu, who was half a step behind Aunt Wang, and his hand holding the court clothes was shaking slightly.

Tsk, Zhao Cong thought to himself, Fu Lu needs to practice more, a guy in his twenties still can't be truly calm.

Zhao Cong only smiled but didn't answer, he turned around and raised his hand slightly, Cha Xi continued to comb his hair.

Aunt Wang smiled and said: "Why don't you come and comb His Majesty's hair?"

Cha Xi didn't dare to answer, but Aunt Wang took two steps forward with a smile on her face, and said to Cha Xi, "Come on, give it to me."

"..."

Zhao Cong didn't speak, so Cha Xi had no choice but to pass the comb to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was quick with her hands, and soon tied Zhao Cong's hair into a bun.There were all kinds of jade and gold crowns on the table for selection. Aunt Wang picked a white jade crown and put it on for Zhao Cong.She sighed: "Your Majesty was born really well. There is no jade that can match His Majesty. No matter how beautiful the jade is in front of you, it is inferior."

Zhao Cong glanced at Aunt Wang in the mirror, and smiled slowly.

Aunt Wang slowly looked away.

Aunt Wang didn't stay any longer, her goal was achieved.She reported the names of a few more dishes, and the palace servants of Yandao Baoci Palace had already delivered them to the dining room. The Empress Dowager had a good meal, so she ordered them to be brought here, and she wanted to leave.

But before leaving, Aunt Wang said happily to Cha Xi who was sending her out: "Your Majesty is still going to the back garden today?"

"It's been hot these days. There is a pavilion in the back garden facing the water. It's cool but not harmful to the body. Your Majesty goes there every day to read the time book." Cha Xi said honestly, everyone in the palace knew about it, and told him Aunt Wang is fine.

Aunt Wang just left, but met Rantao who came from outside.

Rantao also followed two little maids, who smiled and saluted Aunt Wang.

"Come in and serve His Majesty for breakfast." Aunt Wang knew her very well, so she didn't talk to her too much, and walked out of the hall after speaking.

Rantao turned his head and frowned slightly.Fu Lu told her yesterday that he must persuade His Majesty to go to the Daqing Hall this morning.Aunt Wang came to Funing Palace so early, and still smiled so happily, so her wish must have come true again?

She hurriedly walked into the hall.

Zhao Cong was still sitting in the inner room, he didn't feel much, but was stopped again, but Fu Lu was so angry that his body was shaking.

Empress Dowager Sun is too deceitful!A half-way female official dares to send to block His Majesty face to face, and she will be the Queen Mother Sun.However, His Majesty was raised by the Empress Dowager Sun. Although the Empress Dowager Sun was uneasy and well-intentioned, she really couldn't say anything on the face. This court emphasizes "filial piety".She held the comb in her hand, and immediately put a small jade crown on His Majesty, didn't she just tell them: Your Majesty can't wear this court dress, and your Majesty can't wear this court crown, let alone go to the Daqing Palace? ?

Daqing Palace, if His Majesty doesn't go, don't even think about going to Empress Dowager Sun!She can only enter the Wende Palace if she is as good as the sky in her life!

"Your Majesty." Cha Xi walked in, breaking the silence.

"she left?"

"Yes, before Aunt Wang left, I asked the servant girl if you still want to go to the back garden to read today."

Zhao Cong let out a "hmm", noncommittal.

Chaxi lowered her head and stood back.

Fu Lu said again: "Your Majesty, I will recomb your hair for you! There is still half an hour before the Great Court Meeting, and there is still time."

When Rantao came in, she happened to hear Fu Lu's words, she walked up to Zhao Cong and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"Cherry rice?" Zhao Cong was not affected at all, as if the person who was humiliated by the female officer just now was not him.Seeing Rantao approaching, he became happy again, and asked her with a smile.Baiyu Cherry has a nice name, but it is actually steamed rice with cherries.

Rantao was also calm and said with a smile: "It's done, someone will bring it later. The tea for Taofan has also been prepared, and there are a lot of seasonal melons and fruits in it. It is the fruit tea you mentioned. Your Majesty will like it." .”

"That's good." Zhao Cong said and got up.

"Your Majesty—" Fu Lu wanted to speak again, but Rantao glanced at him, so he had to stop talking.

When Zhao Cong was eating, he didn't like too many people staring at him, so he waved his hand to tell everyone to go down.

Besides, he had to think about the situation at the moment.

However, Rantao pulled Fulu and went directly to the veranda to talk.

Fu Lu was dissatisfied: "Why do you pull me? Your Majesty was finally persuaded by me and was willing to go to the Daqing Palace. Your Majesty is in good health recently. Today is really a great opportunity. What is Aunt Wang? She even dared—— Dare—!” He became angry again as he spoke, unable to utter the second half of the sentence.

Rantao didn't like it either: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have been in the palace for six years. In the past, you have not lost your hand in dealing with other people. Even Liu Xian will call you 'Fu Daguan'. Come out, why is it so useless at this time?"

"Aunt Wang is a bully!"

"What is Aunt Wang! Your Majesty gave Empress Dowager Sun the honor to make her the county lady. If His Majesty doesn't give face, she won't even be able to win a female official!" Rantao spoke sharply, "You also know that she is a dog, and she can't borrow it. It is the empress dowager's prestige, if there is no queen mother, would she dare to say these words? Yesterday we made an agreement, if His Majesty is willing to go, then go, if there is a little bit of reluctance, we will talk about it tomorrow."

"Your Majesty has obviously been persuaded by me!"

"Who is Your Majesty? Who are you and me? Although Your Majesty is honest, he understands very well in his heart. After His Majesty entered the palace, I was serving you. I can see clearly. Today, if Your Majesty really wants to go, a female officer can Can you stop our Majesty? Are you really capable of being Aunt Wang? Your Majesty is just pitying you!"

"..." Fu Lu remained silent.

"Flu, you've been a little too impatient recently."

"Your Majesty is 16 years old, but the Empress Dowager Sun is like that. Why am I not in a hurry? I'm afraid that Your Majesty will become the last obstacle in front of the Empress Dowager Sun. I'm afraid, I'm afraid—" Fu Lu couldn't say the unlucky words.

Rantao snorted, and his face turned cold: "She dares! What's so scary? Our Majesty is the direct descendant of Taizu, the prince who was proclaimed by the late emperor, and the throne was passed on by the late emperor in front of many ministers. Excuse me Empress Dowager Sun has 1 guts, but she doesn't dare! This world belongs to His Majesty! Just wait and see, this is just the beginning!"

"I see." Fu Lu was a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty is not easy. You and I should have hearing, eyesight, and soul. The most important thing right now is your body. On the day of Longevity Day, someone will come forward to invite Your Majesty to take charge of the government. Do you treat her as the Queen Mother?" In comparison, what is the grand court in May? What are the envoys of Liao and Xixia? When His Majesty was young, he was frightened by the deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom, so it’s okay to see him. The grand court meeting on the winter solstice, just wait and see That's the important thing. As long as His Majesty's body is well maintained, everything will be fine. Don't lose the big one for the sake of the small one."

Fu Lu humbly said: "I was reckless, sister Rantao taught me a lesson."

"Instead, I vaguely heard Cha Xi say that Aunt Wang asked her about His Majesty's 'whereabouts'?"

"Yes."

Ran Tao frowned: "If Your Majesty goes to the back garden to read again today, you and I must be vigilant."

Like Fulu, no matter how calm Rantao is, he still feels that something big is about to happen in recent days.

The last time she felt this way was when the late emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne in a hurry, and Empress Dowager Sun cried and hugged His Majesty, saying "In the future, there will only be you, my mother and my son".That time, Empress Dowager Sun had just finished crying, and the next day, her father Yan Guogong Sun Boxun invited Empress Dowager Sun to attend the court at the Xiaochao Meeting.
