It rained suddenly last night, and the weather became a lot colder. Empress Cao didn't let Zhao Yang go out to play because she was afraid of freezing Zhao Yang.Fortunately, the Cao family and Han Qi often brought some new things for Zhao Yang to play with, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Kunning Palace.
After breakfast and goat's milk, Zhao Yang sat on the couch and played Jiulianhuan.Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong sat beside them embroidering and making scarves.
While embroidering, Miao Zhaorong chatted with Empress Cao: "My lady, the official family has not seen Zhang Meiren. Do you think Zhang Meiren is going to fall out of favor?" When Mingluan Court saw Zhang Meiren, even Zhang Meiren sent someone to invite her, she refused to go, and even Zhang Meiren went to Funing Palace to meet the official family, but the official family refused to see her.During this time, it was rumored in the palace that Beauty Zhang had fallen out of favor.
"No." Empress Cao said indifferently, "The officials are only angry with Miss Zhang for a while."
"Ma'am, it's not just for a while, it's been a month or two." Miao Zhaorong said gloatingly, "When has the official family not seen Zhang Meiren for so long?" The official family has always treated Zhang Meiren as a pain in the eye. It's really surprising that she hasn't seen Zhang Meiren for a month or two.
"Ms. Zhang must have done something to offend the officials. That's why the officials haven't seen her for so long." Empress Cao said lightly, "When the officials' anger subsides, they will naturally see her."
"What did she do to make the officials so angry?" Seeing the officials being so angry with Zhang Meiren, Miao Zhaorong felt very happy, "The officials used to be angry with Zhang Meiren for a few days. The family has been angry for so long."
Empress Cao probably guessed what was going on, but she didn't need to tell Miao Zhaorong.
"You and I don't have to worry about her affairs."
"I see that she is rejected by the officials, and I am very happy." Miao Zhaorong has always disliked Zhang Meiren, and now that she is finally rejected by the officials, she feels very happy.
Empress Cao reached out and tapped Miao Zhaorong's forehead, and said helplessly and amusedly, "You."
"Ma'am, I'm just happy."
"No matter what she does, she can't surpass you, so why do you care about her?" Even though Zhang Meiren is favored by the Sixth Palace, Empress Cao has never put Zhang Meiren in her eyes.
"I just can't understand how she treats nobody in the eyes because of the government's favor, and doesn't take you seriously." Zhang Meiren didn't take her seriously. Miao Zhaorong was not angry, but she was angry because Zhang Meiren didn't pay attention to her. Don't you dare to put the empress in your eyes.The most annoying thing is that Zhang Meiren was rude to the empress several times, but the officials did not blame Zhang Meiren.The official himself is obviously a person who understands etiquette, but he connives at Zhang Meiren's rudeness. I really don't know what enchantment Zhang Meiren poured into the official.
Empress Cao reached out to hold Miao Zhaorong's hand, patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly, "I don't care, and you don't care either."
Miao Zhaorong stretched out her hand to hold Empress Cao's hand, "Mother, I am wronged for you."
"I am not wronged, not at all." Empress Cao smiled gently at Miao Zhaorong, "With you, Fukang, and Yang Yang by my side, I am very happy and satisfied."
"Your Majesty, I, Fukang, and His Royal Highness will always be by your side."
Empress Cao firmly held Miao Zhaorong's hand, "Okay."
At this time, in Mingluan Pavilion, Zhang Meiren asked: "Has the official family gone to Kunning Palace?"
Ju Bai replied: "The officials haven't come down yet, but it should be soon." After finishing speaking, she asked, "Lady, are we going to Kunning Palace?"
Zhang Meiren thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace." After finishing speaking, she adjusted her appearance, "I haven't greeted the empress for a long time, the weather is fine today, go and greet the empress."
"Yes, my lady."
Walking on the way to Kunning Palace, Zhang Meiren suddenly laughed at herself and said, "I never thought that one day I would go to Kunning Palace to see the official family." In the past two months, no matter how much she begged to see the official family, the official family's Just not seeing her.Now, it was rumored in the palace that she had fallen out of favor, and she was angry and flustered after hearing it.
It was the first time that the official family was so angry with her, which made her really scared, afraid that the official family really didn't like her and didn't want her anymore.She hasn't seen the housekeeper for a month or two, and she can't go on like this.Today, she must see the official family.
In order to see Song Renzong, Zhang Meiren did not hesitate to go to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao, in order to be able to see Song Renzong in Kunning Palace.
Song Renzong would go to Kunning Palace to visit His Royal Highness the Prince every day after he came down from court, so if he wanted to see Song Renzong, he would definitely be able to see him in Kunning Palace.
"Miss, it stands to reason that you should greet the empress." Ju Bai cautiously persuaded, "Before, when you were sick, the empress sent someone to bring medicinal materials. You should go and thank you, madam."
"You will make excuses for me." In the past, Zhang Meiren would never come to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao, "So, I feel better."
"Lady, as long as you see the official family, the official family will definitely not be angry with you again."
"hope so."
A moment later, Zhang Meiren came to Kunning Palace with Orange White.
The servants guarding the gate of Kunning Palace were very surprised when they saw Zhang Meiren coming, just like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Ju Bai stepped forward and said that Mrs. Zhang came here specially to pay her respects to Empress Empress, please inform her.The servants at the gate of Kunning Palace were shocked again, and they all showed expressions of disbelief, wondering what Zhang Meiren was going crazy.
Zhang Meiren frowned unhappily when she saw the stunned expression of the servant in Kunning Palace: "Why, I can't greet the empress?"
The servant of Kunning Palace quickly came to his senses: "The villain is going to report now."
When Chunyu heard that the servant at the door said Zhang Meiren came to pay her respects, she was also shocked.After being dazed for a while, he hurried into the main hall and said: "Your Majesty, Beauty Zhang is here to greet you, and she is standing at the door right now."
"What, she came to pay her respects?" Miao Zhaorong exclaimed in disbelief.
Empress Cao was not surprised at all, she said to Chunyu calmly, "Let her in."
"Yes."
Miao Zhaorong asked in disbelief: "Why did she come to pay her respects?"
Zhao Yang on the side said in his heart, of course the drunkard's intention is not to drink, she came to Kunning Palace to pay her respects, of course to see Song Renzong.
Empress Cao said indifferently: "She didn't come to pay my respects, but to see the official family."
When Miao Zhaorong heard it, she immediately understood Zhang Meiren's purpose.
"Your Majesty, don't see her."
"I don't see her today, but she will come to pay her respects tomorrow until I see the official family."
"She has always been proud and arrogant. If you don't see her today, she will definitely not come again tomorrow."
"No, she didn't see the official family in the past two months, so she panicked." Empress Cao said, "Otherwise she wouldn't come to Kunning Palace to greet me." After finishing speaking, she said to Chunyu, "Let her come in."
"Yes, ma'am."
After a while, Chunyu led Zhang Meiren into the main hall.
Seeing Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong, Zhang Meiren frowned slightly, and then saluted Empress Cao politely.
"Chen and concubine see the Queen's concubine."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Empress."
Miao Zhaorong saw that Zhang Meiren did not look good, and said mockingly: "Why is Zhang Meiren free to come to Kunning Palace today to pay her respects?"
Zhang Meiren glanced at Miao Zhaorong coldly, and ignored her words.Instead, he looked at Empress Cao and said, "Some time ago, my concubine was sick, and the empress sent someone to bring medicinal materials. Today, this concubine came to thank the empress." In fact, she did not have the medicinal materials that Empress Cao gave Zhang Meiren. take.
She stood up and saluted Empress Cao again.
Empress Cao raised her hand to Zhang Meiren, "You're welcome."
"Ms. Zhang, you recovered from your illness a few days ago. Why did you wait until today to thank the empress?" Although Miao Zhaorong is usually gentle and gentle, but when she wants to pick someone up, she is not gentle at all. On the contrary, it is very sharp. "I think you came to Kunning Palace today not to thank the Empress, but to wait for the official family."
Being exposed by Miao Zhaorong so unceremoniously, Zhang Meiren's face instantly became very ugly: "You..."
"The officials haven't seen you for a couple of months, so you come to Kunning Palace and wait eagerly for the officials." Miao Zhaorong taunted Zhang Meiren unceremoniously, "You really are shameless."
The last sentence completely angered Zhang Meiren, she suddenly stood up and shouted at Miao Zhaorong: "Miao Sui'er, how dare you humiliate me!"
Miao Zhaorong also stood up, glared at Zhang Meiren, and reprimanded Zhang Meiren in a deep voice: "I am Zhaorong, but you are just a beauty, how dare you call me by my name, presumptuous!"
Zhang Meiren's face was originally pale, but now Miao Zhaorong's face flushed red.
"you……"
"Zhang Meiren, I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
Empress Cao and Zhao Yang looked at Miao Zhaorong with surprise on their faces. They didn't expect Miao Zhaorong, who was always gentle and virtuous, to say something like "shameless".You must know that Miao Zhaorong in normal life never speaks harsh words.
Zhang Mei stepped forward angrily, raised her hand to Miao Zhaorong, and was about to hit Miao Zhaorong, but was pushed away by Miao Zhaorong.
Zhang Meiren, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was Miao Zhaorong's opponent. She was pushed far away by Miao Zhaorong. Fortunately, Ju Bai helped her in time, otherwise she would fall to the ground.
"Zhang Meiren, you are a mere beauty and dare to hit me, you are so arrogant and domineering."
"Miao Sui'er..."
At this moment, the voice of saluting Song Renzong came from outside.When Zhang Meiren heard it, her expression changed immediately, her eyes were filled with tears, and her appearance became very pitiful.
Seeing Zhang Meiren's face change, Miao Zhaorong knew that she came because of Song Renzong, so she pretended to be pitiful.
Song Renzong walked in and saw Zhang Meiren in Kunning Palace, he was puzzled at first, then frowned slightly.
Empress Cao walked up to Miao Zhaorong, patted her on the back lightly, and then took her to bow to Song Renzong: "I have seen the official family."
Beauty Zhang bowed to Song Renzong pitifully, "I have seen the official family."
"Meet daddy." Zhao Yang saluted Song Renzong obediently.
Seeing Song Renzong walking towards her, Zhang Meiren couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, but soon, the smile on the corners of her mouth froze.
Song Renzong walked directly beside Zhang Meiren, walked up to Zhao Yang, bent down| bent down and picked up his son, and said to Empress Cao and the others: "Get up."
"Thank you."
Zhang Meiren stood up, her eyes were red, and she looked at Song Renzong pitifully: "Official."
Seeing Zhang Meiren's appearance, Miao Zhaorong was full of anger, and was about to say something when Empress Cao pulled her hand away.
Empress Cao slightly shook her head at Miao Zhaorong, signaling her not to say anything.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Song Renzong talking to her, a light flashed in Zhang Meiren's eyes, but the expression on her face was very aggrieved.
"I'm here to see the officials." In front of Song Renzong, Zhang Meiren always said something.She knew in her heart that Song Renzong would not believe her if she said she came to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao, so she simply said that she came to see Song Renzong specially. "I haven't seen the official family for a long time."
Miao Zhaorong, who was on the side, heard this, and was so angry that she scolded Zhang Meiren for being shameless.
Song Renzong looked at a beauty Zhang indifferently, and said coldly: "I don't want to see you, so back down."
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Zhang Meiren was crumbling.
"Miss." Ju Bai screamed, and hurriedly reached out to support the fallen beauty Zhang, "Miss! Mistress! Mistress!"
Seeing that Beauty Zhang had fainted, Song Renzong stood up abruptly and walked over, hugging Beauty Zhang from Jubai's hands: "Qin'er! Qin'er! Qin'er!"
Empress Cao looked coldly at Zhang Meiren who had passed out and Song Renzong who was nervous and worried, and said to Chunyu who was waiting by the side: "Go ask the imperial physician."
"Yes, ma'am."
Song Renzong carried Meiren Zhang to the side hall next door, and then sat by the bed holding Meiren Zhang's hand.
Empress Cao hugged Zhao Yang and stood aside with Miao Zhaorong.
Soon, Imperial Physician Wang came over and was about to salute Song Renzong and the others, but was interrupted by Song Renzong waving his hand and asked him to quickly diagnose Zhang Meiren's pulse.
Doctor Wang carefully took Zhang Meiren's pulse, and then said: Zhang Meiren fainted because of the grief in her heart, and she will wake up after a short rest.He also said that Zhang Meiren was inherently weak, so she must not be overjoyed or sad.
Song Renzong ordered Imperial Physician Wang to adjust the prescription again, and take good care of Zhang Meiren's body, so that her body will recover quickly and completely.
After receiving the order, Imperial Physician Wang retreated respectfully.
Song Renzong knew that Zhang Meiren didn't like Kunning Palace, so before she woke up, he carried her back to Mingluan Pavilion.Before leaving, he didn't forget about Zhao Yang, and said he would come to play with him again in the afternoon.
After Song Renzong left, Miao Zhaorong couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Ms. Zhang is pretending to be dizzy, but the officials actually believe her."
Seeing Miao Zhaorong's angry and unwilling face, Empress Cao said helplessly and amusedly: "It's not the first day you know, so why be angry?"
"I'm just so angry." Miao Zhaorong panicked when she thought of what happened just now, "She's used to pretending to be pitiful, but she just pretended to be dizzy on purpose. Not only did the officials believe her, but she was also very worried. I care about her very much." She originally thought that Zhang Meiren had fallen out of favor, but she didn't expect that.
Empress Cao didn't feel any disturbance in her heart, and said indifferently: "Isn't it always like this?"
"What kind of ecstasy soup did Zhang Meiren give to the officials..." Before Miao Zhaorong finished speaking, Empress Cao interrupted, "Sui'er, don't say any more."
Miao Zhaorong knew that Empress Cao was doing it for her own good, so she nodded and said, "Ma'am, I won't say anything."
Empress Cao said helplessly: "I've been telling you not to care about her affairs, why do you always care about her affairs?"
"Ma'am, I just can't understand it."
"Get angry with her, you will only anger your body, and the gain is not worth the loss." Empress Cao lowered her head to see her son looking at them innocently, and rubbed her forehead with her forehead, "Yang Yang, are you hungry? Don't want a snack?"
"Think." Zhao Yang sighed in his heart, the reason why Miao Zhaorong didn't like Zhang Meiren was not because of jealousy, but because of grievances for Empress Cao, but Empress Cao herself didn't care at all.
In his opinion, Empress Cao did not regard Song Renzong as her husband, but regarded Song Renzong as her boss, and herself as Song Renzong's courtier, so no matter how much Song Renzong loved Zhang Meiren, Empress Cao would not care.
"Then let's go eat some snacks." Empress Cao hugged her son and smiled softly, "There is also dried meat." Now, Zhao Yang has grown a few more teeth, and Empress Cao began to eat dried meat for him.
Zhao Yang cheered immediately: "Okay, I want to eat dried meat."
"His Royal Highness, my little lady made you some crispy cheese, do you want to eat it?"
Zhao Yang raised his little hand and said, "I want to eat, I want to eat."
Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong both like to make some snacks, but Empress Cao's craftsmanship is not as good as Miao Zhaorong's, but her dried meat and candied fruit are excellent.
Zhao Yang sat on the couch, eating snacks with relish.
Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong didn't eat, but talked about other things.As for Zhang Meiren's fainting just now, the two of them never mentioned a word.
"I want to hatch some chickens and ducklings." On weekdays, Empress Cao handles harem affairs and other things, such as planting rice and raising silkworms.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and Empress Cao couldn't grow rice or raise silkworms for the time being, so she had to find other things to do.After thinking about it, she decided to hatch some chicks and ducklings herself.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to hatch?" Miao Zhaorong asked.
"I plan to..." Empress Cao had read some miscellaneous notes about hatching eggs these days, and had a general idea in her mind.
Miao Zhaorong listened very carefully, and said eagerly after listening, "Mother, I will hatch with you."
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, let's start today."
"Good good."
Empress Cao's efficiency was very fast, and Chunyu found the eggs in a short while.
Zhao Yang stood aside, watching with interest that Empress Cao found a big box and a small box.She filled the small box with a soft cloth, and put a tomboy under the soft cloth, then put the eggs on the soft cloth, then put the small box into the big box, and finally closed the big box.
"Ma'am, is this okay?"
"Of course it won't work. Turn the eggs every other hour." Empress Cao also read the folk method of hatching eggs in the book, but she didn't know if it would work.
"Ma'am, what are you doing, cooking eggs?" Zhao Yang asked curiously.
Empress Cao touched her son's head with her hand, and said softly, "Young lady is not boiling eggs, but hatching chickens."
"Hatch chicks?"
Empress Cao seriously told her son what it means to hatch chicks.Every time her son asked her any questions, she would explain them very carefully and in detail, without any perfunctory or impatience.She knew that her son was smart, as long as he couldn't understand all the things she told him, he would remember them all.
Zhao Yang nodded with a dazed face, and then said with a smile: "Ma'am, you hatched a chick, can you let me play with it?"
"Play?" Empress Cao was slightly surprised by this request.
"Can't you play?"
"Your Highness, chickens are for food, not toys." Miao Zhaorong suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has never seen a chicken."
"That's right." Empress Cao said with a smile, "Let's hatch a few more ducklings and geese for Yang Yang to play with."
"I want to play, thank you, ma'am." Zhao Yang wanted a big white goose, which he could command the goose to babble about.
At the same time, Zhang Meiren in Mingluan Pavilion woke up.As soon as she woke up, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Song Renzong pitifully and aggrievedly: "Guan, don't you want Qin'er?"
"I didn't want you."
"You didn't see me, and you asked me to retreat." Zhang Meiren's expression was extremely aggrieved.
Seeing Zhang Meiren's aggrieved and pitiful expression, Song Renzong was very distressed, and looked at her with softer eyes: "I am angry with you."
Zhang Meiren stretched out her hand to grab Song Renzong's hand, and begged pitifully: "Officials, Qin'er knows that she is wrong, please don't ignore Qin'er."
Song Renzong had already softened his heart.The moment he saw Zhang Meiren in Kunning Palace, his heart softened. The reason why he said he didn't want to see her was because he was afraid of being soft-hearted, but seeing Zhang Meiren fainted, he immediately ignored everything.
"Qin'er, I know you don't like the queen, but you can't dislike the prince just because you don't like the queen."
"Official, I..."
Song Renzong raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Meiren, and he continued: "The prince is not only my son, but also the heir apparent of the Great Song Dynasty."
"Official, I know I was wrong." Zhang Meiren admitted her mistake obediently, "I'm just jealous that you care too much about the prince, that's why you are rude to the prince."
"The prince is my only son, he is the heir apparent of the Great Song Dynasty, of course I care about him." Song Renzong sighed slightly, "Over the years, I have never had a prince, and the ministers urged me to go to the clan to adopt a prince and train him as a prince. I don't want to, now that I have Yang Yang, I don't have to be urged by the ministers, and I won't be said that I have no virtue."
Zhang Meiren struggled to sit up, Song Renzong quickly reached out to help her sit up.
"Official, I really know I was wrong." Zhang Meiren held Song Renzong's right hand tightly with both hands, and assured Song Renzong, "Official, I will never be rude to the prince again."
Song Renzong opened his mouth, wanting to make Zhang Meiren promise that he would not do anything to the prince, but seeing Zhang Meiren's sincere expression of admitting his mistake, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
He stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears on Zhang Meiren's face, "Qin'er, I don't ask you to like Yang Yang, but I hope you can treat Yang Yang as the prince of the Song Dynasty, is that okay?"
Seeing Song Renzong's sharp eyes and serious tone, Zhang Meiren understood what Song Renzong said.He was warning her not to do what she shouldn't do to the prince.
"Official family, I understand!" If she did something to the prince, the official family would never spare her lightly.
Song Renzong took a deep look at Zhang Meiren, then reached out and hugged her into his arms, patted her on the back gently and said, "Hurry up and take care of your body, and give me a prince in the future."
These words instantly soothed the dissatisfaction in Zhang Meiren's heart.She knew that the officials wanted her to give birth to a prince.As long as she gives birth to a prince, the officials will definitely love her very much, and Cao Yi's son will become unimportant by then.
"Okay, I will take care of myself as soon as possible and give birth to a prince for the official family as soon as possible."
"I believe that Qin'er will definitely give birth to a prince for me in the future." Song Renzong's words were to appease Zhang Meiren and give her hope.
"Official, can you stop ignoring me for so long in the future, do you know how I spent this time..."
Next, Song Renzong and Zhang Meiren hugged each other and told each other how they missed each other during this period.
Song Renzong stayed in Mingluan Pavilion until Zhang Meiren fell asleep in the afternoon before leaving.When he left, he had a happy face.When he returned to Funing Palace, he rewarded Zhang Meiren with many things, including jewelry, silk and satin, and precious medicinal materials.
The ladies in the harem were very disappointed to see Beauty Zhang regained her favor.
Empress Cao was not at all surprised that Zhang Meiren regained her favor.She knew that Song Renzong would completely dislike Zhang Meiren, unless Zhang Meiren did something unforgivable.
In the past few days, Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong have no intention of caring about Zhang Meiren's return to favor.They are busy hatching chicks, ducklings, and geese.
Zhao Yang and Princess Fukang are also very concerned about hatching chickens.The two of them would stand in front of the box if they had nothing to do, put their ears on the big box, and listen to whether there were any chicks hatched.
Song Renzong was also very concerned when he learned that Empress Cao and the others were hatching chickens.Every day when I came to Kunning Palace to visit my son, I would ask how it was to hatch the chickens and the land.
Empress Cao and the others hatched for seven days, but did not hatch a single chick, duckling or goose.However, they were not discouraged and continued to hatch the chicks.
Seeing that Empress Cao and the others hadn't hatched the chicks for a long time, Zhao Yang was a little anxious. He thought of a way to put the eggs under the quilt when he went to bed at night.After he crushed several eggs, a gosling finally hatched.
Bianjing has entered a severe winter.
This winter is extremely cold, and the wind blows on the face like an ice blade shaving.
In the past few days, because the weather was too cold, many servants and maids in the palace were sick from the cold.Empress Cao was worried that Zhao Yang would also suffer from frostbite, so she didn't let him go out during this period, and taught him the art of war in Kunning Palace.
Since Zhao Yang said last time that he was going to help Song Renzong take back Youyun Sixteen States, Empress Cao began to tell him some stories about the art of war.
Empress Cao was born in the Cao family. Although she was a daughter, she learned the art of war and martial arts with her brothers since she was a child.In fact, her art of war and martial arts are superior to those of her elder brothers.Cao Bin, her grandfather has always said that she is a pity.If she was a man, she would be a very good general.
For a long time, Empress Cao also felt that she was born with the wrong gender.She also wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, but it is a pity that she is a daughter and cannot go to the battlefield.Now, she has a son, maybe the son can fulfill her dream of becoming a general.
Although she knew that the possibility of regaining the sixteen states of Youyun was unlikely, Empress Cao still hoped that Zhao Yang could regain the sixteen states of Youyun when she grew up. Even if not all of them, some would be good.So, she decided to teach him the art of war, and taught him everything she had learned all her life.
Empress Cao taught Zhao Yang the art of war by telling stories.The stories she told were ups and downs and fascinating, and Zhao Yang listened with gusto.Perhaps, because of the blood of the Cao family in his body, he found that he could easily understand the art of war contained in these stories.
Princess Fukang and Zhao Yang listened to Empress Cao's story about the art of war.Princess Fukang can only understand the superficial story, but Zhao Yang can understand the art of war behind the story, which surprised Empress Cao very much.She felt that her son was talented in the art of war, so she decided to teach her son the art of war more carefully.
At this time, Empress Cao was telling Zhao Yang "Sun Bin's Art of War".
Zhao Yang holds Dabai in his arms, which is the goose he hatched earlier.However, the goose has grown a lot.Dabai is very obedient and obedient. He follows Zhao Yang every day and is inseparable from him.
Miao Zhaorong sat at the side, embroidering, and listening to Empress Cao telling stories to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Today, Empress Cao told Zhao Yang about the "eight formations" in "Sun Bin's Art of War".Combined with historical stories, she told Zhao Yang the "eight formations" in detail.
After the story was finished, Empress Cao deliberately asked Zhao Yang a question to see if Zhao Yang understood the story just now.
After listening to Empress Cao's question, Miao Zhaorong found it difficult. She couldn't answer it for a while, but Zhao Yang answered it quickly.
After listening to the story and answering the questions, Zhao Yang climbed down from the couch with Dabai in his arms.
"Ma'am, can I go out and play now?"
"It's cold outside, you can play in the yard of Kunning Palace, don't go anywhere else."
"Ah?" Zhao Yang pursed his mouth and said pitifully, "Ma'am, I haven't gone out to play for a long time, I want to go out to play." Since the cold weather, he has been in Kunning Palace every day.At first, he thought it was nothing, but after a long time, he couldn't stand it anymore.Besides, he was dressed very warmly, so he shouldn't be frozen.
"It's cold outside, Madam is afraid that you will be frozen." Empress Cao also knew that it was not good to detain her son in Kunning Palace every day, but there was no other way.
"Ma'am, I'm not cold." Zhao Yang walked up to Empress Cao and stretched out his little hand towards her, "Ma'am, feel it, my hands are not cold."
Empress Cao reached out and touched her son's little hand, it was soft and warm, "It's very warm."
Zhao Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Empress Cao's sleeve, shook it gently, and acted softly to her: "Ma'am, there is sun outside, I want to go out to bask in the sun, just let me out."
Standing at Zhao Yang's feet, Dabai raised his neck and called Empress Cao twice, as if saying that he was also going out to play.
"Ma'am, you see Dabai and want to go out to play, so let me and Dabai go out to bask in the sun." Zhao Yang held Empress Cao's leg with both hands, and smiled flatteringly at his ma'am with his small face up, "Ma'am Maid, just promise me."
"Okay, ma'am, I promise you." Empress Cao touched her son's face, pretending to be serious, "Come back if you feel cold, do you understand?"
Zhao Yang nodded happily: "I know, I'll come back when it's cold." He's not a fool, if he plays outside when it's cold, he will definitely suffer from frostbite.His little life was precious, and he didn't want to die before he was four years old.
Empress Cao gently pinched her son's soft face, and said with a smile, "Let's go out and play."
"Thank you ma'am, I'm going out to play then." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he picked up Dabai and ran out on short legs.Seeing this, Yuan Song and Yuan Bai hurriedly followed.
"Ma'am, it's so cold outside, why did you agree to His Royal Highness?" Miao Zhaorong was worried that Zhao Yang would be frozen when he went out to play.
"If you don't let him go out to play, he's going to make a fuss." Empress Cao knows her son very well, "During this period of time, he has been detained in Kunning Palace, and he is not allowed to go out to play, and he has been suffocated long ago. Besides, the sun is shining today and the weather is much warmer, so it's good to let him go out to bask in the sun."
"You are not afraid that His Royal Highness is freezing."
"It's useless to be afraid." Empress Cao laughed, "A boy can't be pampered, he has to be raised rough. Let him go out for a walk and freeze, maybe he'll be fine."
"Your Majesty, you should be more careful." It's cold, not to mention children are prone to cold, even adults are prone to frostbite.Adults sometimes suffer from cold and fever, let alone children.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Although Empress Cao advocated raising her son carelessly, it didn't mean she raised her son carelessly.
Hearing what Empress Cao said, Miao Zhaorong was half relieved.
Zhao Yang walked out of Kunning Palace, and put Dabai in his arms.
"Yuan Song, take me to the plum garden, I'm going to pick plum blossoms."
"His Royal Highness, do you want to give the plum blossoms to the official family?"
Zhao Yang nodded: "There are also Han Han and the others, you will help me pick more plum blossoms later."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yuan Song said, "Go this way, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Yang wears a tiger head cap, a fox fur scarf, and a rabbit fur muff. He is fluffy and cute.
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly with his head held high.Dabai followed at his feet, walking unsteadily.
Not far from Kunning Palace, there is a plum garden, which was specially planted by Empress Cao after she entered the palace.
When they arrived at the plum garden, Yuan Song and Yuan Bai helped Zhao Yang break more than a dozen plum blossoms.
Zhao Yang first asked Yuan Bai to send a few plum blossoms back to Kunning Palace, and he would give the remaining plum blossoms to his father and Fan Fan.
In Funing Palace, Song Renzong was listening to Sima Guang report what he had seen, heard, and done in other places these years.
A few days ago, Sima Guang was transferred back to Bianjing from other places.
Zhang Maoshi and Liang Yin stood guard at the gate of Funing Palace, basking in the sun.Suddenly, Zhang Maoshi's eyes lit up when they heard a few geese hooting, and then they saw a small figure approaching.
"His Royal Highness?" Zhang Maoshi was surprised. How could His Royal Highness come to Funing Palace in such a cold day?
"Sir, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhang Maoshi hurried up and saluted Zhao Yang.
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
"Get up." Zhao Yang said, "I'm here to look for daddy, is daddy busy?" Dad didn't go to Kunning Palace to visit him today, and it seems he was held back by the minister again.
"The officials are listening to Mr. Sima's report."
"Sima Xianggong?" Zhao Yang blinked suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Who is Sima Xianggong?" Sima Guang?
"It's Sima Guang, who was transferred back to Bianjing a few days ago."
It really is Sima Guang.
Another big guy.
When it comes to Sima Guang, the first thing that comes to mind is Sima Guang smashing the vat, and then "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
"How long will Dad and the others have to talk?"
"This, the villain doesn't know." Zhang Maoshi thought for a while and said, "With Sima Xianggong's temperament, I am afraid that he will have to talk with the officials for a long time. Your Highness, why don't you go to the Imperial Academy first. Han Xianggong and the others haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much.”
"Okay, then I'll go play with Han Han and the others first." Zhao Yang waved to Zhang Maoshi, and took Dabai and Yuan Song to the Imperial Academy.
He has been to Yushuyuan several times, and he is already familiar with the way, so he doesn't need Zhang Maoshi to lead the way.
In the Royal Academy, Han Qi and the others had just finished their work and were discussing poems and songs.When these bigwigs are free, they like to exchange poems and songs with each other.
Some time ago, Su Shunqin was transferred back from other places.When he was in other places, he wrote a lot of poems and articles.As soon as I came back, I couldn't wait to discuss with Ouyang Xiu and the others.
Zhao Yang walked to the door of the Imperial Academy, and instead of rushing in, he stood at the door and peeked in secretly.He found someone else, someone he had never seen before.
Who is this handsome man?Which boss is it?
Zhao Yang rolled his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his small face.He turned to Yuan Song and whispered, "You wait for me at the door first, don't make a sound."
Yuan Song lowered his voice and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness."
Zhao Yang was about to step into the Imperial Academy, but because he was wearing too much and too thick clothes, his calf could only be lifted a little, and he couldn't cross the threshold of the Imperial Academy at all, which was embarrassing.
Yuan Song was very discerning, without Zhao Yang's instructions, he stepped forward and reached out to pick him up, and then put him down gently.
Zhao Yang entered the Imperial Academy, but Dabai did not.Dabai waved his little wings vigorously, desperately jumping towards the threshold, but no matter how hard he jumped, he couldn't get up.
After watching Dabai's joke for a while, Zhao Yang reached out and hugged him.
"Dabai, don't bark."
Dabai gently scratched Zhao Yang's face with its mouth, as if saying "it knows".
Zhao Yang bowed his head and kissed Dabai's head, then walked inside silently holding it.He thought that he would not be discovered by Fan Zhongyan and the others because he was sneaky, but he was discovered just a few steps away.
Fu Bi took the lead to Zhao Yang, first exclaimed "His Royal Highness", and then hurriedly saluted Zhao Yang.
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
Zhao
After breakfast and goat's milk, Zhao Yang sat on the couch and played Jiulianhuan.Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong sat beside them embroidering and making scarves.
While embroidering, Miao Zhaorong chatted with Empress Cao: "My lady, the official family has not seen Zhang Meiren. Do you think Zhang Meiren is going to fall out of favor?" When Mingluan Court saw Zhang Meiren, even Zhang Meiren sent someone to invite her, she refused to go, and even Zhang Meiren went to Funing Palace to meet the official family, but the official family refused to see her.During this time, it was rumored in the palace that Beauty Zhang had fallen out of favor.
"No." Empress Cao said indifferently, "The officials are only angry with Miss Zhang for a while."
"Ma'am, it's not just for a while, it's been a month or two." Miao Zhaorong said gloatingly, "When has the official family not seen Zhang Meiren for so long?" The official family has always treated Zhang Meiren as a pain in the eye. It's really surprising that she hasn't seen Zhang Meiren for a month or two.
"Ms. Zhang must have done something to offend the officials. That's why the officials haven't seen her for so long." Empress Cao said lightly, "When the officials' anger subsides, they will naturally see her."
"What did she do to make the officials so angry?" Seeing the officials being so angry with Zhang Meiren, Miao Zhaorong felt very happy, "The officials used to be angry with Zhang Meiren for a few days. The family has been angry for so long."
Empress Cao probably guessed what was going on, but she didn't need to tell Miao Zhaorong.
"You and I don't have to worry about her affairs."
"I see that she is rejected by the officials, and I am very happy." Miao Zhaorong has always disliked Zhang Meiren, and now that she is finally rejected by the officials, she feels very happy.
Empress Cao reached out and tapped Miao Zhaorong's forehead, and said helplessly and amusedly, "You."
"Ma'am, I'm just happy."
"No matter what she does, she can't surpass you, so why do you care about her?" Even though Zhang Meiren is favored by the Sixth Palace, Empress Cao has never put Zhang Meiren in her eyes.
"I just can't understand how she treats nobody in the eyes because of the government's favor, and doesn't take you seriously." Zhang Meiren didn't take her seriously. Miao Zhaorong was not angry, but she was angry because Zhang Meiren didn't pay attention to her. Don't you dare to put the empress in your eyes.The most annoying thing is that Zhang Meiren was rude to the empress several times, but the officials did not blame Zhang Meiren.The official himself is obviously a person who understands etiquette, but he connives at Zhang Meiren's rudeness. I really don't know what enchantment Zhang Meiren poured into the official.
Empress Cao reached out to hold Miao Zhaorong's hand, patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly, "I don't care, and you don't care either."
Miao Zhaorong stretched out her hand to hold Empress Cao's hand, "Mother, I am wronged for you."
"I am not wronged, not at all." Empress Cao smiled gently at Miao Zhaorong, "With you, Fukang, and Yang Yang by my side, I am very happy and satisfied."
"Your Majesty, I, Fukang, and His Royal Highness will always be by your side."
Empress Cao firmly held Miao Zhaorong's hand, "Okay."
At this time, in Mingluan Pavilion, Zhang Meiren asked: "Has the official family gone to Kunning Palace?"
Ju Bai replied: "The officials haven't come down yet, but it should be soon." After finishing speaking, she asked, "Lady, are we going to Kunning Palace?"
Zhang Meiren thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace." After finishing speaking, she adjusted her appearance, "I haven't greeted the empress for a long time, the weather is fine today, go and greet the empress."
"Yes, my lady."
Walking on the way to Kunning Palace, Zhang Meiren suddenly laughed at herself and said, "I never thought that one day I would go to Kunning Palace to see the official family." In the past two months, no matter how much she begged to see the official family, the official family's Just not seeing her.Now, it was rumored in the palace that she had fallen out of favor, and she was angry and flustered after hearing it.
It was the first time that the official family was so angry with her, which made her really scared, afraid that the official family really didn't like her and didn't want her anymore.She hasn't seen the housekeeper for a month or two, and she can't go on like this.Today, she must see the official family.
In order to see Song Renzong, Zhang Meiren did not hesitate to go to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao, in order to be able to see Song Renzong in Kunning Palace.
Song Renzong would go to Kunning Palace to visit His Royal Highness the Prince every day after he came down from court, so if he wanted to see Song Renzong, he would definitely be able to see him in Kunning Palace.
"Miss, it stands to reason that you should greet the empress." Ju Bai cautiously persuaded, "Before, when you were sick, the empress sent someone to bring medicinal materials. You should go and thank you, madam."
"You will make excuses for me." In the past, Zhang Meiren would never come to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao, "So, I feel better."
"Lady, as long as you see the official family, the official family will definitely not be angry with you again."
"hope so."
A moment later, Zhang Meiren came to Kunning Palace with Orange White.
The servants guarding the gate of Kunning Palace were very surprised when they saw Zhang Meiren coming, just like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Ju Bai stepped forward and said that Mrs. Zhang came here specially to pay her respects to Empress Empress, please inform her.The servants at the gate of Kunning Palace were shocked again, and they all showed expressions of disbelief, wondering what Zhang Meiren was going crazy.
Zhang Meiren frowned unhappily when she saw the stunned expression of the servant in Kunning Palace: "Why, I can't greet the empress?"
The servant of Kunning Palace quickly came to his senses: "The villain is going to report now."
When Chunyu heard that the servant at the door said Zhang Meiren came to pay her respects, she was also shocked.After being dazed for a while, he hurried into the main hall and said: "Your Majesty, Beauty Zhang is here to greet you, and she is standing at the door right now."
"What, she came to pay her respects?" Miao Zhaorong exclaimed in disbelief.
Empress Cao was not surprised at all, she said to Chunyu calmly, "Let her in."
"Yes."
Miao Zhaorong asked in disbelief: "Why did she come to pay her respects?"
Zhao Yang on the side said in his heart, of course the drunkard's intention is not to drink, she came to Kunning Palace to pay her respects, of course to see Song Renzong.
Empress Cao said indifferently: "She didn't come to pay my respects, but to see the official family."
When Miao Zhaorong heard it, she immediately understood Zhang Meiren's purpose.
"Your Majesty, don't see her."
"I don't see her today, but she will come to pay her respects tomorrow until I see the official family."
"She has always been proud and arrogant. If you don't see her today, she will definitely not come again tomorrow."
"No, she didn't see the official family in the past two months, so she panicked." Empress Cao said, "Otherwise she wouldn't come to Kunning Palace to greet me." After finishing speaking, she said to Chunyu, "Let her come in."
"Yes, ma'am."
After a while, Chunyu led Zhang Meiren into the main hall.
Seeing Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong, Zhang Meiren frowned slightly, and then saluted Empress Cao politely.
"Chen and concubine see the Queen's concubine."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Empress."
Miao Zhaorong saw that Zhang Meiren did not look good, and said mockingly: "Why is Zhang Meiren free to come to Kunning Palace today to pay her respects?"
Zhang Meiren glanced at Miao Zhaorong coldly, and ignored her words.Instead, he looked at Empress Cao and said, "Some time ago, my concubine was sick, and the empress sent someone to bring medicinal materials. Today, this concubine came to thank the empress." In fact, she did not have the medicinal materials that Empress Cao gave Zhang Meiren. take.
She stood up and saluted Empress Cao again.
Empress Cao raised her hand to Zhang Meiren, "You're welcome."
"Ms. Zhang, you recovered from your illness a few days ago. Why did you wait until today to thank the empress?" Although Miao Zhaorong is usually gentle and gentle, but when she wants to pick someone up, she is not gentle at all. On the contrary, it is very sharp. "I think you came to Kunning Palace today not to thank the Empress, but to wait for the official family."
Being exposed by Miao Zhaorong so unceremoniously, Zhang Meiren's face instantly became very ugly: "You..."
"The officials haven't seen you for a couple of months, so you come to Kunning Palace and wait eagerly for the officials." Miao Zhaorong taunted Zhang Meiren unceremoniously, "You really are shameless."
The last sentence completely angered Zhang Meiren, she suddenly stood up and shouted at Miao Zhaorong: "Miao Sui'er, how dare you humiliate me!"
Miao Zhaorong also stood up, glared at Zhang Meiren, and reprimanded Zhang Meiren in a deep voice: "I am Zhaorong, but you are just a beauty, how dare you call me by my name, presumptuous!"
Zhang Meiren's face was originally pale, but now Miao Zhaorong's face flushed red.
"you……"
"Zhang Meiren, I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
Empress Cao and Zhao Yang looked at Miao Zhaorong with surprise on their faces. They didn't expect Miao Zhaorong, who was always gentle and virtuous, to say something like "shameless".You must know that Miao Zhaorong in normal life never speaks harsh words.
Zhang Mei stepped forward angrily, raised her hand to Miao Zhaorong, and was about to hit Miao Zhaorong, but was pushed away by Miao Zhaorong.
Zhang Meiren, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was Miao Zhaorong's opponent. She was pushed far away by Miao Zhaorong. Fortunately, Ju Bai helped her in time, otherwise she would fall to the ground.
"Zhang Meiren, you are a mere beauty and dare to hit me, you are so arrogant and domineering."
"Miao Sui'er..."
At this moment, the voice of saluting Song Renzong came from outside.When Zhang Meiren heard it, her expression changed immediately, her eyes were filled with tears, and her appearance became very pitiful.
Seeing Zhang Meiren's face change, Miao Zhaorong knew that she came because of Song Renzong, so she pretended to be pitiful.
Song Renzong walked in and saw Zhang Meiren in Kunning Palace, he was puzzled at first, then frowned slightly.
Empress Cao walked up to Miao Zhaorong, patted her on the back lightly, and then took her to bow to Song Renzong: "I have seen the official family."
Beauty Zhang bowed to Song Renzong pitifully, "I have seen the official family."
"Meet daddy." Zhao Yang saluted Song Renzong obediently.
Seeing Song Renzong walking towards her, Zhang Meiren couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, but soon, the smile on the corners of her mouth froze.
Song Renzong walked directly beside Zhang Meiren, walked up to Zhao Yang, bent down| bent down and picked up his son, and said to Empress Cao and the others: "Get up."
"Thank you."
Zhang Meiren stood up, her eyes were red, and she looked at Song Renzong pitifully: "Official."
Seeing Zhang Meiren's appearance, Miao Zhaorong was full of anger, and was about to say something when Empress Cao pulled her hand away.
Empress Cao slightly shook her head at Miao Zhaorong, signaling her not to say anything.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Song Renzong talking to her, a light flashed in Zhang Meiren's eyes, but the expression on her face was very aggrieved.
"I'm here to see the officials." In front of Song Renzong, Zhang Meiren always said something.She knew in her heart that Song Renzong would not believe her if she said she came to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Cao, so she simply said that she came to see Song Renzong specially. "I haven't seen the official family for a long time."
Miao Zhaorong, who was on the side, heard this, and was so angry that she scolded Zhang Meiren for being shameless.
Song Renzong looked at a beauty Zhang indifferently, and said coldly: "I don't want to see you, so back down."
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Zhang Meiren was crumbling.
"Miss." Ju Bai screamed, and hurriedly reached out to support the fallen beauty Zhang, "Miss! Mistress! Mistress!"
Seeing that Beauty Zhang had fainted, Song Renzong stood up abruptly and walked over, hugging Beauty Zhang from Jubai's hands: "Qin'er! Qin'er! Qin'er!"
Empress Cao looked coldly at Zhang Meiren who had passed out and Song Renzong who was nervous and worried, and said to Chunyu who was waiting by the side: "Go ask the imperial physician."
"Yes, ma'am."
Song Renzong carried Meiren Zhang to the side hall next door, and then sat by the bed holding Meiren Zhang's hand.
Empress Cao hugged Zhao Yang and stood aside with Miao Zhaorong.
Soon, Imperial Physician Wang came over and was about to salute Song Renzong and the others, but was interrupted by Song Renzong waving his hand and asked him to quickly diagnose Zhang Meiren's pulse.
Doctor Wang carefully took Zhang Meiren's pulse, and then said: Zhang Meiren fainted because of the grief in her heart, and she will wake up after a short rest.He also said that Zhang Meiren was inherently weak, so she must not be overjoyed or sad.
Song Renzong ordered Imperial Physician Wang to adjust the prescription again, and take good care of Zhang Meiren's body, so that her body will recover quickly and completely.
After receiving the order, Imperial Physician Wang retreated respectfully.
Song Renzong knew that Zhang Meiren didn't like Kunning Palace, so before she woke up, he carried her back to Mingluan Pavilion.Before leaving, he didn't forget about Zhao Yang, and said he would come to play with him again in the afternoon.
After Song Renzong left, Miao Zhaorong couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Ms. Zhang is pretending to be dizzy, but the officials actually believe her."
Seeing Miao Zhaorong's angry and unwilling face, Empress Cao said helplessly and amusedly: "It's not the first day you know, so why be angry?"
"I'm just so angry." Miao Zhaorong panicked when she thought of what happened just now, "She's used to pretending to be pitiful, but she just pretended to be dizzy on purpose. Not only did the officials believe her, but she was also very worried. I care about her very much." She originally thought that Zhang Meiren had fallen out of favor, but she didn't expect that.
Empress Cao didn't feel any disturbance in her heart, and said indifferently: "Isn't it always like this?"
"What kind of ecstasy soup did Zhang Meiren give to the officials..." Before Miao Zhaorong finished speaking, Empress Cao interrupted, "Sui'er, don't say any more."
Miao Zhaorong knew that Empress Cao was doing it for her own good, so she nodded and said, "Ma'am, I won't say anything."
Empress Cao said helplessly: "I've been telling you not to care about her affairs, why do you always care about her affairs?"
"Ma'am, I just can't understand it."
"Get angry with her, you will only anger your body, and the gain is not worth the loss." Empress Cao lowered her head to see her son looking at them innocently, and rubbed her forehead with her forehead, "Yang Yang, are you hungry? Don't want a snack?"
"Think." Zhao Yang sighed in his heart, the reason why Miao Zhaorong didn't like Zhang Meiren was not because of jealousy, but because of grievances for Empress Cao, but Empress Cao herself didn't care at all.
In his opinion, Empress Cao did not regard Song Renzong as her husband, but regarded Song Renzong as her boss, and herself as Song Renzong's courtier, so no matter how much Song Renzong loved Zhang Meiren, Empress Cao would not care.
"Then let's go eat some snacks." Empress Cao hugged her son and smiled softly, "There is also dried meat." Now, Zhao Yang has grown a few more teeth, and Empress Cao began to eat dried meat for him.
Zhao Yang cheered immediately: "Okay, I want to eat dried meat."
"His Royal Highness, my little lady made you some crispy cheese, do you want to eat it?"
Zhao Yang raised his little hand and said, "I want to eat, I want to eat."
Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong both like to make some snacks, but Empress Cao's craftsmanship is not as good as Miao Zhaorong's, but her dried meat and candied fruit are excellent.
Zhao Yang sat on the couch, eating snacks with relish.
Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong didn't eat, but talked about other things.As for Zhang Meiren's fainting just now, the two of them never mentioned a word.
"I want to hatch some chickens and ducklings." On weekdays, Empress Cao handles harem affairs and other things, such as planting rice and raising silkworms.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and Empress Cao couldn't grow rice or raise silkworms for the time being, so she had to find other things to do.After thinking about it, she decided to hatch some chicks and ducklings herself.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to hatch?" Miao Zhaorong asked.
"I plan to..." Empress Cao had read some miscellaneous notes about hatching eggs these days, and had a general idea in her mind.
Miao Zhaorong listened very carefully, and said eagerly after listening, "Mother, I will hatch with you."
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, let's start today."
"Good good."
Empress Cao's efficiency was very fast, and Chunyu found the eggs in a short while.
Zhao Yang stood aside, watching with interest that Empress Cao found a big box and a small box.She filled the small box with a soft cloth, and put a tomboy under the soft cloth, then put the eggs on the soft cloth, then put the small box into the big box, and finally closed the big box.
"Ma'am, is this okay?"
"Of course it won't work. Turn the eggs every other hour." Empress Cao also read the folk method of hatching eggs in the book, but she didn't know if it would work.
"Ma'am, what are you doing, cooking eggs?" Zhao Yang asked curiously.
Empress Cao touched her son's head with her hand, and said softly, "Young lady is not boiling eggs, but hatching chickens."
"Hatch chicks?"
Empress Cao seriously told her son what it means to hatch chicks.Every time her son asked her any questions, she would explain them very carefully and in detail, without any perfunctory or impatience.She knew that her son was smart, as long as he couldn't understand all the things she told him, he would remember them all.
Zhao Yang nodded with a dazed face, and then said with a smile: "Ma'am, you hatched a chick, can you let me play with it?"
"Play?" Empress Cao was slightly surprised by this request.
"Can't you play?"
"Your Highness, chickens are for food, not toys." Miao Zhaorong suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has never seen a chicken."
"That's right." Empress Cao said with a smile, "Let's hatch a few more ducklings and geese for Yang Yang to play with."
"I want to play, thank you, ma'am." Zhao Yang wanted a big white goose, which he could command the goose to babble about.
At the same time, Zhang Meiren in Mingluan Pavilion woke up.As soon as she woke up, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Song Renzong pitifully and aggrievedly: "Guan, don't you want Qin'er?"
"I didn't want you."
"You didn't see me, and you asked me to retreat." Zhang Meiren's expression was extremely aggrieved.
Seeing Zhang Meiren's aggrieved and pitiful expression, Song Renzong was very distressed, and looked at her with softer eyes: "I am angry with you."
Zhang Meiren stretched out her hand to grab Song Renzong's hand, and begged pitifully: "Officials, Qin'er knows that she is wrong, please don't ignore Qin'er."
Song Renzong had already softened his heart.The moment he saw Zhang Meiren in Kunning Palace, his heart softened. The reason why he said he didn't want to see her was because he was afraid of being soft-hearted, but seeing Zhang Meiren fainted, he immediately ignored everything.
"Qin'er, I know you don't like the queen, but you can't dislike the prince just because you don't like the queen."
"Official, I..."
Song Renzong raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Meiren, and he continued: "The prince is not only my son, but also the heir apparent of the Great Song Dynasty."
"Official, I know I was wrong." Zhang Meiren admitted her mistake obediently, "I'm just jealous that you care too much about the prince, that's why you are rude to the prince."
"The prince is my only son, he is the heir apparent of the Great Song Dynasty, of course I care about him." Song Renzong sighed slightly, "Over the years, I have never had a prince, and the ministers urged me to go to the clan to adopt a prince and train him as a prince. I don't want to, now that I have Yang Yang, I don't have to be urged by the ministers, and I won't be said that I have no virtue."
Zhang Meiren struggled to sit up, Song Renzong quickly reached out to help her sit up.
"Official, I really know I was wrong." Zhang Meiren held Song Renzong's right hand tightly with both hands, and assured Song Renzong, "Official, I will never be rude to the prince again."
Song Renzong opened his mouth, wanting to make Zhang Meiren promise that he would not do anything to the prince, but seeing Zhang Meiren's sincere expression of admitting his mistake, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
He stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears on Zhang Meiren's face, "Qin'er, I don't ask you to like Yang Yang, but I hope you can treat Yang Yang as the prince of the Song Dynasty, is that okay?"
Seeing Song Renzong's sharp eyes and serious tone, Zhang Meiren understood what Song Renzong said.He was warning her not to do what she shouldn't do to the prince.
"Official family, I understand!" If she did something to the prince, the official family would never spare her lightly.
Song Renzong took a deep look at Zhang Meiren, then reached out and hugged her into his arms, patted her on the back gently and said, "Hurry up and take care of your body, and give me a prince in the future."
These words instantly soothed the dissatisfaction in Zhang Meiren's heart.She knew that the officials wanted her to give birth to a prince.As long as she gives birth to a prince, the officials will definitely love her very much, and Cao Yi's son will become unimportant by then.
"Okay, I will take care of myself as soon as possible and give birth to a prince for the official family as soon as possible."
"I believe that Qin'er will definitely give birth to a prince for me in the future." Song Renzong's words were to appease Zhang Meiren and give her hope.
"Official, can you stop ignoring me for so long in the future, do you know how I spent this time..."
Next, Song Renzong and Zhang Meiren hugged each other and told each other how they missed each other during this period.
Song Renzong stayed in Mingluan Pavilion until Zhang Meiren fell asleep in the afternoon before leaving.When he left, he had a happy face.When he returned to Funing Palace, he rewarded Zhang Meiren with many things, including jewelry, silk and satin, and precious medicinal materials.
The ladies in the harem were very disappointed to see Beauty Zhang regained her favor.
Empress Cao was not at all surprised that Zhang Meiren regained her favor.She knew that Song Renzong would completely dislike Zhang Meiren, unless Zhang Meiren did something unforgivable.
In the past few days, Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong have no intention of caring about Zhang Meiren's return to favor.They are busy hatching chicks, ducklings, and geese.
Zhao Yang and Princess Fukang are also very concerned about hatching chickens.The two of them would stand in front of the box if they had nothing to do, put their ears on the big box, and listen to whether there were any chicks hatched.
Song Renzong was also very concerned when he learned that Empress Cao and the others were hatching chickens.Every day when I came to Kunning Palace to visit my son, I would ask how it was to hatch the chickens and the land.
Empress Cao and the others hatched for seven days, but did not hatch a single chick, duckling or goose.However, they were not discouraged and continued to hatch the chicks.
Seeing that Empress Cao and the others hadn't hatched the chicks for a long time, Zhao Yang was a little anxious. He thought of a way to put the eggs under the quilt when he went to bed at night.After he crushed several eggs, a gosling finally hatched.
Bianjing has entered a severe winter.
This winter is extremely cold, and the wind blows on the face like an ice blade shaving.
In the past few days, because the weather was too cold, many servants and maids in the palace were sick from the cold.Empress Cao was worried that Zhao Yang would also suffer from frostbite, so she didn't let him go out during this period, and taught him the art of war in Kunning Palace.
Since Zhao Yang said last time that he was going to help Song Renzong take back Youyun Sixteen States, Empress Cao began to tell him some stories about the art of war.
Empress Cao was born in the Cao family. Although she was a daughter, she learned the art of war and martial arts with her brothers since she was a child.In fact, her art of war and martial arts are superior to those of her elder brothers.Cao Bin, her grandfather has always said that she is a pity.If she was a man, she would be a very good general.
For a long time, Empress Cao also felt that she was born with the wrong gender.She also wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, but it is a pity that she is a daughter and cannot go to the battlefield.Now, she has a son, maybe the son can fulfill her dream of becoming a general.
Although she knew that the possibility of regaining the sixteen states of Youyun was unlikely, Empress Cao still hoped that Zhao Yang could regain the sixteen states of Youyun when she grew up. Even if not all of them, some would be good.So, she decided to teach him the art of war, and taught him everything she had learned all her life.
Empress Cao taught Zhao Yang the art of war by telling stories.The stories she told were ups and downs and fascinating, and Zhao Yang listened with gusto.Perhaps, because of the blood of the Cao family in his body, he found that he could easily understand the art of war contained in these stories.
Princess Fukang and Zhao Yang listened to Empress Cao's story about the art of war.Princess Fukang can only understand the superficial story, but Zhao Yang can understand the art of war behind the story, which surprised Empress Cao very much.She felt that her son was talented in the art of war, so she decided to teach her son the art of war more carefully.
At this time, Empress Cao was telling Zhao Yang "Sun Bin's Art of War".
Zhao Yang holds Dabai in his arms, which is the goose he hatched earlier.However, the goose has grown a lot.Dabai is very obedient and obedient. He follows Zhao Yang every day and is inseparable from him.
Miao Zhaorong sat at the side, embroidering, and listening to Empress Cao telling stories to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Today, Empress Cao told Zhao Yang about the "eight formations" in "Sun Bin's Art of War".Combined with historical stories, she told Zhao Yang the "eight formations" in detail.
After the story was finished, Empress Cao deliberately asked Zhao Yang a question to see if Zhao Yang understood the story just now.
After listening to Empress Cao's question, Miao Zhaorong found it difficult. She couldn't answer it for a while, but Zhao Yang answered it quickly.
After listening to the story and answering the questions, Zhao Yang climbed down from the couch with Dabai in his arms.
"Ma'am, can I go out and play now?"
"It's cold outside, you can play in the yard of Kunning Palace, don't go anywhere else."
"Ah?" Zhao Yang pursed his mouth and said pitifully, "Ma'am, I haven't gone out to play for a long time, I want to go out to play." Since the cold weather, he has been in Kunning Palace every day.At first, he thought it was nothing, but after a long time, he couldn't stand it anymore.Besides, he was dressed very warmly, so he shouldn't be frozen.
"It's cold outside, Madam is afraid that you will be frozen." Empress Cao also knew that it was not good to detain her son in Kunning Palace every day, but there was no other way.
"Ma'am, I'm not cold." Zhao Yang walked up to Empress Cao and stretched out his little hand towards her, "Ma'am, feel it, my hands are not cold."
Empress Cao reached out and touched her son's little hand, it was soft and warm, "It's very warm."
Zhao Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Empress Cao's sleeve, shook it gently, and acted softly to her: "Ma'am, there is sun outside, I want to go out to bask in the sun, just let me out."
Standing at Zhao Yang's feet, Dabai raised his neck and called Empress Cao twice, as if saying that he was also going out to play.
"Ma'am, you see Dabai and want to go out to play, so let me and Dabai go out to bask in the sun." Zhao Yang held Empress Cao's leg with both hands, and smiled flatteringly at his ma'am with his small face up, "Ma'am Maid, just promise me."
"Okay, ma'am, I promise you." Empress Cao touched her son's face, pretending to be serious, "Come back if you feel cold, do you understand?"
Zhao Yang nodded happily: "I know, I'll come back when it's cold." He's not a fool, if he plays outside when it's cold, he will definitely suffer from frostbite.His little life was precious, and he didn't want to die before he was four years old.
Empress Cao gently pinched her son's soft face, and said with a smile, "Let's go out and play."
"Thank you ma'am, I'm going out to play then." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he picked up Dabai and ran out on short legs.Seeing this, Yuan Song and Yuan Bai hurriedly followed.
"Ma'am, it's so cold outside, why did you agree to His Royal Highness?" Miao Zhaorong was worried that Zhao Yang would be frozen when he went out to play.
"If you don't let him go out to play, he's going to make a fuss." Empress Cao knows her son very well, "During this period of time, he has been detained in Kunning Palace, and he is not allowed to go out to play, and he has been suffocated long ago. Besides, the sun is shining today and the weather is much warmer, so it's good to let him go out to bask in the sun."
"You are not afraid that His Royal Highness is freezing."
"It's useless to be afraid." Empress Cao laughed, "A boy can't be pampered, he has to be raised rough. Let him go out for a walk and freeze, maybe he'll be fine."
"Your Majesty, you should be more careful." It's cold, not to mention children are prone to cold, even adults are prone to frostbite.Adults sometimes suffer from cold and fever, let alone children.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Although Empress Cao advocated raising her son carelessly, it didn't mean she raised her son carelessly.
Hearing what Empress Cao said, Miao Zhaorong was half relieved.
Zhao Yang walked out of Kunning Palace, and put Dabai in his arms.
"Yuan Song, take me to the plum garden, I'm going to pick plum blossoms."
"His Royal Highness, do you want to give the plum blossoms to the official family?"
Zhao Yang nodded: "There are also Han Han and the others, you will help me pick more plum blossoms later."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yuan Song said, "Go this way, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Yang wears a tiger head cap, a fox fur scarf, and a rabbit fur muff. He is fluffy and cute.
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly with his head held high.Dabai followed at his feet, walking unsteadily.
Not far from Kunning Palace, there is a plum garden, which was specially planted by Empress Cao after she entered the palace.
When they arrived at the plum garden, Yuan Song and Yuan Bai helped Zhao Yang break more than a dozen plum blossoms.
Zhao Yang first asked Yuan Bai to send a few plum blossoms back to Kunning Palace, and he would give the remaining plum blossoms to his father and Fan Fan.
In Funing Palace, Song Renzong was listening to Sima Guang report what he had seen, heard, and done in other places these years.
A few days ago, Sima Guang was transferred back to Bianjing from other places.
Zhang Maoshi and Liang Yin stood guard at the gate of Funing Palace, basking in the sun.Suddenly, Zhang Maoshi's eyes lit up when they heard a few geese hooting, and then they saw a small figure approaching.
"His Royal Highness?" Zhang Maoshi was surprised. How could His Royal Highness come to Funing Palace in such a cold day?
"Sir, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhang Maoshi hurried up and saluted Zhao Yang.
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
"Get up." Zhao Yang said, "I'm here to look for daddy, is daddy busy?" Dad didn't go to Kunning Palace to visit him today, and it seems he was held back by the minister again.
"The officials are listening to Mr. Sima's report."
"Sima Xianggong?" Zhao Yang blinked suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Who is Sima Xianggong?" Sima Guang?
"It's Sima Guang, who was transferred back to Bianjing a few days ago."
It really is Sima Guang.
Another big guy.
When it comes to Sima Guang, the first thing that comes to mind is Sima Guang smashing the vat, and then "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
"How long will Dad and the others have to talk?"
"This, the villain doesn't know." Zhang Maoshi thought for a while and said, "With Sima Xianggong's temperament, I am afraid that he will have to talk with the officials for a long time. Your Highness, why don't you go to the Imperial Academy first. Han Xianggong and the others haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much.”
"Okay, then I'll go play with Han Han and the others first." Zhao Yang waved to Zhang Maoshi, and took Dabai and Yuan Song to the Imperial Academy.
He has been to Yushuyuan several times, and he is already familiar with the way, so he doesn't need Zhang Maoshi to lead the way.
In the Royal Academy, Han Qi and the others had just finished their work and were discussing poems and songs.When these bigwigs are free, they like to exchange poems and songs with each other.
Some time ago, Su Shunqin was transferred back from other places.When he was in other places, he wrote a lot of poems and articles.As soon as I came back, I couldn't wait to discuss with Ouyang Xiu and the others.
Zhao Yang walked to the door of the Imperial Academy, and instead of rushing in, he stood at the door and peeked in secretly.He found someone else, someone he had never seen before.
Who is this handsome man?Which boss is it?
Zhao Yang rolled his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his small face.He turned to Yuan Song and whispered, "You wait for me at the door first, don't make a sound."
Yuan Song lowered his voice and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness."
Zhao Yang was about to step into the Imperial Academy, but because he was wearing too much and too thick clothes, his calf could only be lifted a little, and he couldn't cross the threshold of the Imperial Academy at all, which was embarrassing.
Yuan Song was very discerning, without Zhao Yang's instructions, he stepped forward and reached out to pick him up, and then put him down gently.
Zhao Yang entered the Imperial Academy, but Dabai did not.Dabai waved his little wings vigorously, desperately jumping towards the threshold, but no matter how hard he jumped, he couldn't get up.
After watching Dabai's joke for a while, Zhao Yang reached out and hugged him.
"Dabai, don't bark."
Dabai gently scratched Zhao Yang's face with its mouth, as if saying "it knows".
Zhao Yang bowed his head and kissed Dabai's head, then walked inside silently holding it.He thought that he would not be discovered by Fan Zhongyan and the others because he was sneaky, but he was discovered just a few steps away.
Fu Bi took the lead to Zhao Yang, first exclaimed "His Royal Highness", and then hurriedly saluted Zhao Yang.
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
