Yan Zheng went to pick up his mother in person as if it was a signal. Combined with the abolished empress before, many people thought that Zhao Ji might be crowned empress.
Even Zhao Ji herself thought so, so when Yan Zheng came to pick her up, although she had dressed up a bit, she was somewhat dissatisfied—these jewelry were naturally not as exquisite as the queen's, and their quality was not as good as that of the queen. .
Just thinking that her life would undergo earth-shaking changes after entering the palace, Zhao Ji suppressed her dissatisfaction again.
When Yan Zheng came to pick her up, Zhao Ji looked at her son who was dressed as a prince of Qin, and suddenly felt a little strange.
She hesitated for a moment before asking: "How is Ah Zheng recently?"
Yan Zheng kept the most basic courtesy to his mother, bowed slightly and said: "My son is already in good health, please let Auntie get in the car, we will go back to the palace and talk about it."
Although Yan Zheng is already very polite, Zhao Ji feels that it is not enough. This is just the basics of a son to his mother, but she is the future queen. Could it be that Yan Zheng is also perfunctory when facing the abolished empress?
It's just that she still knows that she is not the queen now, so she didn't get angry, but put on a decent smile and said: "Okay."
It doesn't matter, Yan Zheng hasn't been by her side for the past two years, if you don't understand it, don't understand it, it won't be too late to teach her after she becomes a queen.
Yan Zheng took Zhao Ji all the way back to the palace. Zhao Ji was very quiet along the way, she didn't know what she was thinking, and the smile on her face never disappeared.
As Zhao Ji's son, Yan Zheng could guess a little bit. He watched Zhao Ji dreaming there with cold eyes, and didn't speak.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the ox cart stopped, and Yan Zheng said to Zhao Ji, "Aniang, get out of the cart."
Zhao Ji was slightly taken aback: "Get out of the car?"
Yan Zheng said in a low voice: "Below the beloved, everyone needs to walk in the palace."
Zhao Ji's complexion changed immediately, she was about to say something, Yan Zheng immediately said: "Auntie, please be patient, don't give anyone an excuse to attack, I will walk there with Auntie."
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and pursed her lips unwillingly. However, she is indeed inferior to the maids in the palace. Some of the maids are of high rank. Her title is the biological mother of a son, and nothing else.
Zhao Ji felt a little uneasy, she grabbed Yan Zheng and asked, "Where is your majesty?"
Yan Zheng said softly: "Father is still in court, and he has been busy with official duties recently, but he has already ordered A Niang's residence, and asked A Niang to come with me."
Zhao Ji clenched her fists tightly, her nails sunk deep into her palms. She glanced at the guard who stopped her car at the gate of the palace, and asked, "I'm not qualified, don't you? You're..."
"A Niang." Yan Zheng interrupted her and said, "You haven't seen the Qin Palace before, so let me take A Niang around to have a look."
Zhao Ji can do it if she thinks about it. Anyway, as the mistress of the palace, she will have to be familiar with the layout of the palace sooner or later, so she swallowed her reluctance and said, "Lead the way."
Yan Zheng responded softly, turned his head to lead the way, and introduced some palaces in the palace as he walked, who lived there and so on.
Zhao Ji listened to Yan Zheng's introduction for a long time, most of them were functional buildings, and there were some places where princes and princesses lived, but the places where Yan Zijian's other concubines lived were never mentioned, so she couldn't help asking: " Are there only these people in the palace now?"
Yan Zheng is so smart, he could hear Zhao Ji's subtext, and said softly: "After all, it is my father's harem, and it is not easy for me to get involved when my mother is not here."
Yan Zheng's current age is no longer considered a child in this era, and he should have a preliminary understanding of personnel affairs, so he still needs to avoid suspicion.
After hearing this, Zhao Ji said thoughtfully, "That's it."
Yan Zheng...Yan Zheng didn't even know what kind of expression to put on, not to mention that Yan Zijian is the king, even an ordinary prince would not be able to defend himself for you, let alone when he was in Zhao Guo, there was no one around him. Without a woman, Zhao Ji... what are you thinking about?
Zhao Ji didn't think about anything, she just wanted to know herself and her enemy, Yan Zijian couldn't do without young women, but Zhao Ji still had confidence in her appearance.
It's just that this confidence collapsed immediately after arriving at her residence.
"I live here?" Zhao Ji looked at the palace in front of her in disbelief.
Frankly speaking, as soon as she entered the palace, she lived in a separate courtyard, and her treatment was not bad, but the location was too remote, thousands of miles away from the central palace.
Zhao Ji originally thought that Yan Zheng could live in the East Palace before becoming a prince, so she should be able to live in the Central Palace now.
But... how was this arranged?
Yan Zheng said patiently: "Father said that this place is close to the East Palace, and other places in the palace are being repaired, only this place is more convenient."
Zhao Ji looked straight at him and asked, "Repairing? Is Zhonggong also undergoing repairs?"
Yan Zheng was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes, the abolished queen... committed suicide in the middle palace, so..."
Zhao Ji's complexion changed, and she forced a smile and said, "Here...is pretty good too."
Naturally, she didn't want to live in a house where people died, but it was impossible for the middle palace to be demolished and rebuilt, so... it was still necessary to repair it.
Zhao Ji really wanted to fix it according to her own ideas, but after all, she wasn't that arrogant. After all, after entering the palace, when she saw Yan Zijian later, she would just talk coquettishly about it.
After Yan Zheng settled Zhao Ji down, he said goodbye and wanted to go back to the East Palace. Zhao Ji seemed to realize that she still had to rely on her son at this time, so she asked him to wait, and cooked some snacks for him, saying: "It's been a long time since I gave you a gift. You made this and ate it, I remember you liked it very much, take it back and eat it."
Yan Zheng slightly lowered his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Ma'am."
Zhao Ji touched his face and said, "Okay, let's go back."
Before Yan Zheng left, he looked back and found that Zhao Ji didn't seem to be reluctant to leave, but directed the little maid to take out her things and put them away.
Han Yi had known for a long time that Yan Zheng was going to pick up Zhao Ji. He knew that this matter should not be asked, but he still couldn't hold back and went to the East Palace.
Of course, every time he went to the Eastern Palace, he had to bring something special to eat. This time he directly made rice cakes with lard and white sugar. Unfortunately, there were only yellow rice noodles, which always tasted a little worse.
But this is also something that can't be helped. Who made it so that there is no wheat these years?Of course, it may not be found.
When he arrived at the East Palace, he found that the East Palace was very quiet, and the little eunuch who led him over whispered, "It's great that you're here. Young Master is not very happy today. He sat in the study and spent a long time eating snacks."
Han Yi understood as soon as he heard it, but... what does it mean to break a snack?Is this his latest vent?
But no matter how unhappy Yan Zheng was, he became happy when he saw Han Yi.
The middle-aged eunuch who came over to be the manager to monitor the little eunuch hesitated for a while, but still didn't remind Yan Zheng.
After following Yan Zheng for a while, he knew that although Yan Zheng didn't talk about it, he knew it in his heart, and Yan Zheng was obviously in a bad mood just now, so he simply turned a blind eye, anyway... Han Du Wei doesn't know anything, as long as the young master doesn't say anything, he probably...
After Han Yi came in and greeted Yan Zheng, he saw the broken snacks on the case table at a glance.
Through a few limited and intact ones, Han Yi could tell at a glance that the dim sum seemed to be Zhao Ji's handiwork. Last time Zhao Ji gave him the same dim sum, um, meat filling, salty taste.
Yan Zheng didn't seem to expect Han Yi to come back, and said a little embarrassedly: "Go to the flower hall, it's being cleaned up here."
Han Yi responded and said, "I brought you pastries. It seems that I accidentally made them a little sweet. Try it. If you don't like it, I will put less sugar next time."
How can you not like it?
Not to mention that Yan Zheng himself likes to eat sweets, even if he doesn't like them, he will still like the ones given by Han Yi.
Sweets can improve people's mood. After Yan Zheng ate two yuan, Han Yi saw that his expression had improved and asked, "Miss Zhao entered the palace?"
Yan Zheng nodded and didn't say much, Han Yi couldn't help asking: "She doesn't even know that you don't like salty snacks?"
It's not that Yan Zheng likes sweet food, but he obviously prefers sweet food for cakes, but he prefers salty food for dinner.
Yan Zheng lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before saying: "She doesn't need to know what I like to eat, I have to like what she thinks I like."
This sentence sounds very convoluted, but it is not difficult to understand.
Han Yi made up his mind, and felt that Zhao Ji had squeezed Yan Zheng's desire infinitely in order to survive, which he really couldn't understand.
But now the environment is obviously different, and the status is also different, and she hasn't changed, so...
Han Yi pursed his lips and asked, "I'll go see the king."
Yan Zheng was a little surprised: "What did you see Father doing?"
Han Yixin said, of course it was to stop him from making Zhao Ji his queen.
Even if she is not a queen, she can make you feel so uncomfortable. If she wants to become a queen, you, a prince, will be overwhelmed.
He didn't speak, but Yan Zheng seemed to understand what he wanted to do, and said: "Don't think too much, Father...will not make her queen."
The abolition of the Empress is a political need, a game between Yan Zijian and Da Shuchang and others, and has nothing to do with Zhao Ji. From the beginning to the end, she is just self-indulgent.
Han Yi was a little surprised why Yan Zheng was so sure, but Yan Zheng didn't say much but said, "Just wait and see."
Of course, he has to be prepared to go crazy in the face of Zhao Ji.
Sure enough, Yan Zijian first confirmed the date of canonization as the crown prince—Winter Solstice, and then gave Zhao Ji the status—beauty.
The winter solstice is a very important day in this era. Every year on the winter solstice, there is a sacrifice to the heavens, but it is not necessary to confer a crown prince. It is only necessary to issue an order and then sacrifice to the ancestors.
Yan Zijian chose the winter solstice as the day for the canonization of the prince, so he planned to sacrifice the imperial edict of the canonization to heaven together.
Not to mention the current period of war, even in the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor of Zhou never made such a decision.
Yan Zijian's attitude reveals the importance he attaches to the prince. In comparison, what the prince's mother got is like a consolation prize.
The ranks of Qin’s harem are queens, wives, and beauties, and there are beauties behind, etc. Zhao Ji, let alone a queen, didn’t even get a wife, so it seems that giving her a beauty title seems to be a "reward" for her It's the same as giving birth to Yan Zheng.
Sure enough, Zhao Ji couldn't accept such a gap. She couldn't see Yan Zijian, so she went directly to the East Palace.
Even Zhao Ji herself thought so, so when Yan Zheng came to pick her up, although she had dressed up a bit, she was somewhat dissatisfied—these jewelry were naturally not as exquisite as the queen's, and their quality was not as good as that of the queen. .
