The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

There are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the front and rear palaces are filled with a joyful festive atmosphere.Unexpectedly, the eighth princess disappeared suddenly, and the whole palace was shrouded in haze for a while.

The eighth princess died suddenly, which dealt a great blow to Song Renzong and Zhang Meiren.The eighth princess is the third daughter of Song Renzong and Zhang Meiren. They had two daughters, Princess Anshou and Princess Baohe, who died shortly after they were born.Unexpectedly, the third daughter also died.

The eighth princess is one year older than Zhao Yang, and has been in good health since birth.Although the eighth princess is a little weak, she hasn't suffered from any serious illness in the past two years, and she rarely has a fever.This time, however, he suddenly developed a high fever, which made the imperial doctors helpless.

Before the eighth princess died, she drank the antipyretic prescription prescribed by the imperial physicians.After drinking it, the eighth princess lost her fever a little bit, but she lost her breath after a while.

The Eighth Princess died unexpectedly.The imperial physicians felt that although the eighth princess's fever was fierce, it was not fatal.Besides, children will not die immediately if they have a fever, usually it will take a few days, like Princess Anshou and Princess Baohe, who had a fever for several days before they died.

Song Renzong and Zhang Meiren thought that the eighth princess would grow up healthy and safe, but they didn't expect the eighth princess to die too.After the eighth princess died, she was named Princess Deng, and later changed to Princess Qi to be buried.Buried with her two older sisters.

Because of the death of the eighth princess, Empress Cao ordered the cancellation of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Mother, I went to Funing Palace, but the officials are not willing to see me." Miao Zhaorong looked worried, "Zhang Maoshi said that the officials have been busy with political affairs these days, and they didn't take much rest or eat much. , I am worried that the officials will fall ill if this continues.”

"The officials are blaming themselves." Although Empress Cao and Song Renzong did not love each other, Empress Cao understood Song Renzong's temperament very well. Young Wu."

In the past few days, Song Renzong has been busy with political affairs, and he doesn't want to see anyone. He wants to numb himself through heavy political affairs.

"Your Majesty, you have to think of a way. You can't let the officials go on like this, or the officials will really..." Miao Zhaorong was really worried that Song Renzong would fall ill.

Empress Cao did the math, it was almost time.

"I'm going to find the official with Yang Yang in my arms." In the past few days, Empress Cao didn't go to Funing Palace to meet Song Renzong, just to give him time to be quiet.It has been several days now, and Song Renzong cannot be allowed to be sad, otherwise his body will not be able to hold on.

"Your Majesty, take His Highness the Crown Prince to the official family, and the official family will definitely meet you."

"I'm afraid he won't want to see us." Empress Cao told Miao Zhaorong, "Sui Er, cook some meals that the officials like to eat and send them to Funing Palace later."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'll take Yangyang to Funing Palace now." After Empress Cao finished speaking, she picked up Zhao Yang who was waving a small wooden sword, "Yangyang, my lady will take you to find your father." Came to Kunning Palace to visit Yang Yang, Yang Yang kept asking where his father was.

Empress Cao didn't take Zhao Yang to find Song Renzong because she was worried that Song Renzong would anger Zhao Yang.

Song Renzong blamed himself for the death of the eighth princess, thinking that it was caused by him not caring enough about the eighth princess.Since Zhao Yang was born, Song Renzong cared about him very much, but he didn't care so much about the eighth princess, which made him feel very guilty and blamed himself.

After the eighth princess died, Zhang Meiren complained and blamed Song Renzong, saying that he had a prince, so he didn't care about the eighth princess, which made Song Renzong feel more guilty.

Empress Cao was worried that Song Renzong would blame Zhao Yang for the eighth princess's death, so she dared not take Zhao Yang to find Song Renzong these days.

Empress Cao can't be blamed for thinking this way, because Song Renzong has always loved and cared about Beauty Zhang.The eighth princess died young. Although Zhang Meiren blamed Song Renzong, she mainly blamed Zhao Yang.She thought that it was Zhao Yang who took away Song Renzong's concern, which led to the death of the eighth princess.

To Zhang Meiren, Song Renzong has always been irrational.That's why Empress Cao thought so.

Song Renzong didn't come to visit Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang was not angry, after all, the eighth princess is Song Renzong's biological daughter.It is normal for Song Renzong not to accept the sudden death of his own daughter.However, if Song Renzong blamed him for the death of the eighth princess, don't blame him for being rude.

Zhang Maoshi saw Empress Cao approaching with His Royal Highness in his arms from a distance, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him: "See Empress Empress, see His Royal Highness Prince."

"Please, Mr. Zhang." Empress Cao asked, "Is the official family here?"

"Yes." Zhang Maoshi said, "The villain will go in and report."

Empress Cao told Zhang Maoshi: "Tell the officials, these days you have been asking where your father is."

Zhang Maoshi instantly understood: "Yes, ma'am." After speaking, he turned and walked into the imperial study.

"Officials, the empress and the crown prince are here."

Song Renzong, who was reviewing the letter, stopped the pen in his hand.

Zhang Maoshi said again: "The Empress said that His Highness the Crown Prince has been asking her where is Daddy?"

When Song Renzong heard this, he immediately dropped the pen in his hand, got up and walked out in a hurry.

Seeing this, Zhang Maoshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly followed.

Empress Cao stood outside Funing Palace with Zhao Yang in her arms, and she was relieved when she saw Song Renzong walking out in a hurry.

"Referring to the officer..." Before Empress Cao finished speaking, Song Renzong reached out to support her, and then hugged Zhao Yang from her arms.

Song Renzong held Zhao Yang carefully in his arms, lowered his head and rubbed his son's soft face, and then carefully looked at his son's face.Seeing his son's face was ruddy and in good spirits, he immediately felt relieved.

Zhao Yang stared at Song Renzong with a pair of dark eyes.He found that Song Renzong had aged a lot since he hadn't seen him for a few days.Not only that, but a very haggard face.

He reached out and touched Song Renzong's haggard face, and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"

When Song Renzong heard his son's question, his eyes turned red, his throat was blocked, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhao Yang saw that Song Renzong was silent, so he turned to Empress Cao and asked, "Madam, why didn't daddy speak?"

"Father is not sick." Song Renzong reached out and touched his son's small face, looked at his son lovingly, and then walked into Funing Palace with his son in his arms.

Seeing Empress Cao standing still, Zhang Maoshi asked doubtfully, "Empress?"

"I won't go in, let Yang Yang accompany the official family well." Empress Cao said to Zhang Maoshi, "I will ask Miao Zhaorong to send the official family's favorite meals later, and you can persuade the official family to eat some."

"Yes, ma'am."

Empress Cao didn't say anything else, she turned and left Funing Palace, heading for Miao Zhaorong's palace.

Looking at the back of Empress Cao leaving without hesitation, Zhang Maoshi sighed slightly in his heart.If the Empress followed in and comforted the official family, the official family might be moved.However, the empress... Forget it, this is not something he should care about.

As soon as Zhang Maoshi walked into the imperial study, he heard Song Renzong order him: "Go and call the imperial physician."

"Yes, official."

In the past few days, Song Renzong didn't go to Kunning Palace to visit his son, Song Renzong felt a little worried about his son's body.

Zhao Yang sat in Song Renzong's arms, staring straight at him with a pair of round eyes.

"Why are you looking at Daddy like that?" Song Renzong looked at his son softly, "Is there something on Daddy's face?"

"Daddy, where are you going?" Song Renzong's eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he hadn't had much rest these days.

Hearing his son's question, Song Renzong felt very guilty.He lowered his head and rubbed his son's small face, and asked, "Would you miss Daddy?"

Zhao Yang nodded, and said softly, "I miss Daddy."

The grief in Song Renzong's heart was instantly healed by Zhao Yang's words.His nose was sour and his eye sockets were hot, he said: "Daddy also wants to play."

"really?"

"Really." Song Renzong's voice was a little choked, "Daddy is busy these days, so he didn't visit you. From now on, Daddy will visit you every day."

In fact, Song Renzong did not blame Zhao Yang for the death of the eighth princess.During this period of time, he didn't go to Kunning Palace to visit Zhao Yang because he was shocked by the death of the eighth princess, and he was too sad to do other things for the time being.

"Okay." Zhao Yang gave Song Renzong a sweet smile.

Song Renzong was overwhelmed by his son's cute smile, and his heart softened.He couldn't help lowering his head, and rubbed his son's little face again.

Zhao Yang rubbed Song Renzong's face back, and grandma said, "Daddy is good."

This sentence made Song Renzong's heart sour, and his eyes immediately became wet |, "Okay, Daddy."

Zhao Yang raised his two chubby hands and patted Song Renzong's face lightly.

Song Renzong let his son slap him on the face, "Fortunately, Daddy still has you." You Wu is gone, but Yang Yang is still alive.but……

At this moment, Zhang Maoshi came in with the imperial physician, interrupting Song Renzong's bad thoughts.

"My minister sees..." Song Renzong stopped the imperial physician just as he saluted.

"Check the prince's pulse."

"Yes, official." The imperial physician stepped forward, took Zhao Yang's pulse seriously, and then respectfully said to Song Renzong, "Official, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in good health and there is no problem."

"Really?" The eighth princess died suddenly, which made Song Renzong more concerned about Zhao Yang's nervousness.

"Don't worry, the Crown Prince is very healthy." In fact, early this morning, the imperial physician went to Kunning Palace to feel Zhao Yang's pulse.Song Renzong had told him to take Zhao Yang's pulse every day.After taking Zhao Yang's pulse every day, he would record Zhao Yang's pulse in detail.

Hearing that the imperial physician said so firmly, Song Renzong was relieved a lot, but he couldn't be very relieved.

"What do you think of the prince's health?"

Imperial Physician Shen was slightly taken aback by this question, and soon he understood what Song Renzong meant.

"Officials, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in very good health before he was born." Since Zhao Yang was still in Empress Cao's womb, Imperial Physician Shen took care of him. "Since the birth of His Highness the Crown Prince, he has been in good health without any problems."

"Compared to Zuixinglai?" Before his death, Zuixinglai was also in good health, but suddenly disappeared.So is Young Wu.Song Renzong was really afraid that Zhao Yang would do the same.

"His Royal Highness is healthier than King Yu." Imperial Physician Shen understood Song Renzong's worries, "His Royal Highness's pulse has always been strong, officials, you can rest assured."

"Okay, I'll trust you for now."

Seeing that Song Renzong's complexion was not very good, Imperial Physician Shen said, "Officials, I will take your pulse."

Song Renzong waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

"Official, your complexion is not very good, let me take your pulse."

"I just didn't have a good rest, and nothing happened."

"Officials, you should pay attention to rest and take care of your dragon body." Imperial Physician Shen said.

Song Renzong nodded lightly: "It's okay, you can go down."

"My minister retire."

Although Imperial Physician Shen swore that Zhao Yang was in good health, Song Renzong was still worried.He lost his favorite and his young Wu, and he could not lose Yang Yang again.

He thought for a while and said to Zhang Maoshi: "Tomorrow, I will go to Xiangguo Temple." He is going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for Yang Yang.
