Funing Hall

Back at Funing Hall, Zhao Cong ordered Rantao to take the little maid to take care of Zhao Shishi.Chaxi cleansed his face and changed his clothes, he fell on the low couch with soft and thick cushions, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cha Xi didn't follow them to the back garden, but saw them go there and brought back a strange little man, not to mention that His Majesty was still so exhausted.Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't ask in detail, but said worriedly: "Your Majesty, will the maid massage your legs? Lunch is already being remade, and Sister Rantao said to make some clear soup for Your Majesty."

Zhao Cong nodded: "Press and press."

Cha Xi gently pressed his legs, and Zhao Cong gradually fell asleep.

About half an hour later, Rantao and Fulu walked in together, seeing that Zhao Cong seemed to be asleep, they slowed down.

Zhao Cong still heard it, he opened his eyes and asked, "How?"

"Little Shishi Langjun is still a little confused. The imperial doctor has seen it. It is indeed due to drinking alcohol. It is not a serious problem. It will be fine after a night of sleep. The wound on his forehead has also been treated. The imperial doctor said that even the scar is gone. won't fall."

Fu Lu also nodded: "The little one washed his body for him and changed him into new clothes. Your Majesty can rest assured."

"You guys are doing things, of course I don't worry about it." Zhao Cong was about to get up after saying that, Cha Xi stretched out his hand to support him.Zhao Cong stood up and said, "I'm going to see him."

Rantao and the others didn't stop him, and followed him to the side hall.

On the way, Rantao said with a smile, "Your Majesty, after washing his face, that young gentleman really amazed the servants."

Zhao Cong looked back at her: "Why?"

"Your Majesty, just go and have a look."

Zhao Cong laughed: "Are you still playing tricks?"

Cha Xi said happily: "Sister Rantao, isn't that little gentleman very handsome?"

Zhao Cong was lenient, and he was lenient to his servants, so he dared to ask such a question because of Cha Xi.

Rantao was still telling the truth: "When you see it, you'll know it."

Looking at the looks of Wei Junwang and his son, you can tell that Zhao Shixi is not ugly, especially his son Xiaomu.Zhao Congde's concubine will definitely not be ugly, and the combination of the genes of the hatchback will naturally only look better.

Their Zhao family, before ascending to the throne and becoming the ruler of the dynasty, was also a nobleman of the previous dynasty.After several generations of reproduction, excellent people will be better and better if they are together with excellent people, and beautiful people are with beautiful people.

Zhao Cong has never seen anyone born ugly in the clan.

Therefore, even though Rantao said so, he didn't have much expectation for that poor little man.

Beauty, he has seen a lot.He was good-looking in his previous life, and he was a teacher at the Film Academy. He had seen many pretty faces, and his face in this life is also a standard beauty face.

How can it be easy to be amazed.

The side hall has been unoccupied for a long time, a little deserted, but everything is complete.

On the contrary, because of the hot weather, this desolation turned into a benefit.As soon as he entered the side hall, Zhao Cong felt comfortable, and he went directly to the inner room on the left.

Seeing him coming, two little maids staying behind saluted one after another.

He waved his hand softly, Rantao and Chaxi pushed aside the curtain for him, he walked in, and walked to the bed.

Ran Tao lifted the curtain on one side, and Zhao Cong looked at the bed.

Between light and darkness, a sleeping young man lay on the bed.

The scarlet brocade quilt was embroidered with mandarin ducks. Most of the items used in his palace were for the emperor's exclusive use. This quilt must have been temporarily found by Ran Tao from the storeroom.He couldn't help but find it funny, the brocade was slightly radiant under the half-light, and even the mandarin ducks seemed to be alive, and the quilt was just pulled at the young man's chin.

Under the color contrast, Zhao Cong understood why Rantao said those words.

This little gentleman is indeed rare and good-looking.

But it's not just good-looking.

After washing it clean, you can feel the full vigor on his body just by closing your eyes.His nose bridge is high, his eyebrows are like smeared ink, and his eyeliner is quite long.After opening his eyes, Zhao Cong could already imagine what the light in his eyes looked like.

The Zhao family has been a nobleman for hundreds of years, and then began to be a royal family. It has been nearly a hundred years now, and most of the people in the clan are actually lazy.

Although the expenses in the palace are not extravagant, it is because Taizu took the lead.The clan's children outside the palace were more luxurious than each other, but the Taizu would rather support these clans than give them fiefs and real power.This makes people in the clan only know how to enjoy, and the whole Zhao family is really like a pool of stagnant water.

This young gentleman is the only spring that Zhao Cong has seen in the 16 years since he came here.

But Quanyan was sleeping, Zhao Cong took a few glances, then got up and left.

The moment the curtain fell, Quanyan opened his eyes.

The small place inside the curtain suddenly became active, as if a storm was about to hit.

The light in the young man's eyes is much more shocking than what Zhao Cong could have imagined, just like the only bright star in the black night sky.

He turned his head slightly and looked out.But through the curtain, he couldn't see anything, but he could hear the footsteps of Zhao Cong and others gradually leaving.

Zhao Cong asked Fu Lu: "Do you know what the name of that Zhao Shishi is? I remember their family, and he happened to be in the 'shi' in his generation."

"Knowing is knowing, but..."

"Why are you still hesitating?"

"His name is Zhao Shi-Qi."

Zhao Cong was taken aback for a moment: "Cong?"

"No, no, he's another radical."

Zhao Cong nodded knowingly.The name has always been chosen to avoid the taboo of the emperor's name, Zhao Congde did not avoid it, because it was the generation of characters set by the Taizu, so there is no need to avoid it.This Zhao Shiqi didn't even avoid it, but after thinking about it again, he understood.When he changed his name to Zhao Cong, Zhao Shishi had been called Zhao Shiqi for a long time.

With Zhao Shiqi's transparency that even his own parents and grandfathers can't recognize him, his family must have forgotten him a long time ago, and naturally they can't remember that his name needs to be changed.However, Zongzheng Temple has always been responsible for the affairs of the clan, which is also their default.

For her position, Empress Dowager Sun always tried to curry favor with the clan, but she turned a blind eye to the problems of the clan.Zhao Cong couldn't help frowning, when he came to power, there were really too many things to do.

At the end of Youshi, Duke Wei woke up and wanted to come over to thank him.

Zhao Cong was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand and asked Fu Lu to send him out of the palace and back to his residence.Although, he guessed that Weijun Wang was also acting in today's play, and he was very angry when he spoke a moment ago, crying loudly, how could he faint so easily.But what if it's not?In case he fainted again in his palace, he didn't want a headache.

On the way, Baoci Hall also sent someone to "consolate" him, but Aunt Wang didn't dare to come, but Qingming, another female official of the Queen Mother, came.This female official is not a half-way monk like Aunt Wang. She was selected to enter the palace after urinating and had formal training.

She spoke in an orderly manner, and she respected him very much: "The empress has already told the eldest lady that she will announce the Duke's wife to enter the palace tomorrow morning. The empress said that the temper of the eldest lady needs to be restrained, and it will be a few days later. Send the eldest lady to Songzhou to stay for a while, and specially invite a female gentleman to accompany the eldest lady, and make sure to teach the eldest lady well."

"Sigh." Zhao Cong sighed, "There is no need to be like this, Uncle Wei Jun Wang has always been informal. This is just a small matter between children, why is it worth sending the eldest lady to another place? After all, my cousin is still young, and she will always miss her when she is far away from her parents. What's more, Uncle Wang can really let his young man marry the eldest lady? The eldest lady is four years older than the young man. The empress is too worried. The cousin stays in the capital. When she reaches Ji, I will do it myself She chooses the husband."

Qing Ming has always been smart, so she didn't take what Ji Ji Xun said, but said sadly: "Your Majesty said, it's always her fault."

Zhao Cong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Your Majesty wanted to come to see His Majesty in person, but she was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's rest."

Zhao Cong raised his eyebrows, then returned to normal, and said kindly: "You tell your mother, when I recover, I will go talk to my mother."

Qingming continued to worry and said: "Because of the eldest lady's affairs, the empress is useless even for dinner. Before coming, the empress specifically told the maidservant to tell His Majesty that she must remember to eat, so that the body can recover quickly."

Zhao Cong sighed: "Your Majesty always thinks about me, and always puts me first. I really want to go to the Hall of Baoci now, but look at my body, alas."

Seeing what Qingming said, Zhao Cong didn't take the bait, and he was not as coaxing as before, and felt helpless.

But she was just a female officer, so she had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

After Qingming left, Zhao Cong leaned against the cushion, and immediately collapsed on the couch again, still lying comfortably.

Fu Lu came in and said, "Your Majesty, there are people talking back and forth in the palace of the princess."

"What's the matter?"

"The princess said that Liu Xian should be kept to work today, so he won't let Liu Xian come back to the palace, and let him come back tomorrow."

"All follow the princess."

"Yes." Fu Lu wanted to go out and inform the people in the princess mansion.

Zhao Cong stopped him again: "For lunch, the soup I ate was good, and I brought a portion for the Princess as well."

Fulu smiled and said yes.

"Today, go invite the guard of Uncle Wei Jun Wang, you go and find out, see which family's son it is."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go."

Fulu saluted and left.

Ran Tao came in with a smile: "Your Majesty always thinks of the princess in everything."

In front of Rantao, Zhao Cong had nothing to act, he still leaned on the cushion and said lazily, "I'm just such a girl."

"Your Majesty, should you go to bed early today?"

"Ah."

Candles were already lit in the house, and he usually didn't go to sleep until the end of the Xu hour.Today, he caught up with this series of events, didn't sleep well in the afternoon, and spent a lot of effort, he was very tired.Rantao and Chaxi took the little maid to clean his face, wash his hands, and take a bath. He ate half a bowl of red bean soup, rinsed his mouth, and lay down on the bed.

After Rantao finished checking and everything was fine, he was about to pull up the curtain for him.He suddenly thought of the little gentleman, and he asked, "Is the little gentleman still sleeping?"

"Asleep, there are maids guarding her all the time, and there is also food and drink. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Okay." Zhao Cong was really relieved.

So far, the turbulent day is finally over.

Rantao tidied up the curtains, picked up the candlestick beside the bed, and gently led the little maid out of the inner room.

Fu Lu was talking to Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty at night, on the porch. After seeing Rantao come out, he explained a few words and walked towards her.

The little maids saluted and left. After they walked away, Rantao asked, "Have you found out about the little eunuch that His Majesty ordered today?"

"I found out, he is twelve this year, the first year of Yuanzhao, and he entered the palace at the age of seven."

"It's been five years since he entered the palace. He must have suffered a lot before he could enter our Palace of Funing. He learned the rules well. Where is he from?"

"A native of Cangzhou, his parents died during the war. He went south with the victims of the disaster. Because he was born clean and smart, he was able to enter the palace just in time for the selection of eunuchs in the palace."

"Why was he talking to Liu Xian earlier?"

"In the morning, wasn't Liu Xian in a hurry to go to Baoci Hall to report the news? His good apprentice Liu Jin couldn't find him, so Liu Xian opened a small yellow door that didn't look like it, so it was auspicious. Liu Xian People, you know, are always stupid."

Rantao nodded: "In this case, Your Majesty sees that he has a good eye, so you should take it with you. He is a poor kid, he is quite clever, and he can be trained as soon as possible so that he can help His Majesty with his affairs."

Today was also a day of ups and downs for them. At this time, Fu Lu felt happy when he thought of Aunt Wang kneeling on the ground trembling. He smiled and said: "Our Majesty has a lot to do in the future. Today I By His Majesty's order, I will send a member of Wei Jun Wang's mansion out of the palace, and Wei Jun Wang will thank you with his mouth open and shut."

"Hmph. Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and this thank you is due." Even though Rantao said so, he was very happy. "It would be even better if Duke Wei could stand by our Majesty's side."

King Wei Jun is both tyrannical and moderate, and he doesn't care about everything, but he is the only one among the grandsons of Taizu who is still alive.It would be a great thing if he could be drawn into His Majesty's battle line.

Fulu also nodded.

Rantao looked into the night, the courtyard was like blue stone slabs under the moonlight.Her heart was in turmoil for a day, and then she calmed down.I thought it was a day when something big was about to happen, but I was frightened for a day.In the end, there were no major events that were unfavorable to His Majesty, but a series of various small events.Although His Majesty is too tired, but looking back and counting, none of these things today are bad.

Not only did she slap Aunt Wang and Empress Dowager Sun in the face severely, but Madam Sun didn't have to marry, and she also won the favor of King Wei Jun.The guards present and several gentlemen saw all these things today, the population is not strict after all, she expects more people to know what happened today.

I know that the Duke of Yan is too domineering, and I know that Queen Mother Sun is deliberately confused.

Their majesty's good fortune should finally come.
