Chapter 17 Mother and Son (1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
As a child, time always flies by.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, Zhao Xu's daily life was as orderly and orderly as a wind-up alarm clock.

He wakes up before nine o'clock every morning.

Then, Feng Jing would go to the imperial kitchen in person and bring back the prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhao Xu will start copying Buddhist scriptures.

Have lunch at noon, and then take a nap for half an hour. When you open your eyes, you can see Queen Xiang.

Speak to the queen and behave in a well-behaved, sensible and filial manner.

The relationship between him and Queen Xiang also became closer.

Quietly, Zhao Xu and Empress Xiang became as close as a real biological mother and son.

In this process, Zhao Xu used some tricks more than nine hundred years later.

For example, he would order people to pick some early spring flower buds in the garden outside Qingning Palace, then use silk cloth to make flower arrangements and give them to Queen Xiang as a small gift.

She was so happy that she smiled at the queen, and she even looked several years younger.

Sometimes, Zhao Xu would pretend to be depressed and cry quietly alone in the palace, and then deliberately let Empress Xiang see it.

The distressed Empress Xiang hugged Zhao Xu and comforted him non-stop.

After Queen Xiang leaves, Zhao Xu will go for a walk in the garden of Qingning Palace. He will appear in front of the various palace gates of Qingning Palace intentionally or unintentionally, so that Yu Longzhi who guards each gate can recognize them clearly.

His appearance.

During this process, Liu Weijian would sometimes come over and talk to Zhao Xu about things in the Defei Pavilion, and also tell Zhao Xu about the situation inside and outside the court.

Through Liu Weijian, Zhao Xu was able to learn about some outside things.

No longer are the blind and deaf trapped in Qingning Palace.

At night, after the palace doors are locked and the drums sound, Zhao Xu will go to bed on time.

His modern academic career has already taught him self-discipline and how to allocate his time reasonably.

When Zhao Xu opened his eyes again, he was served by the maids as he had been in the past few days, dressed and washed, and was ready to continue another day of life.

Liu Weijian came at this time.

"Old slave, please give your regards to Your Highness!" Liu Weijian still knelt down and saluted in a polite manner.

Zhao Xu was quite surprised when he saw Liu Weijian: "Why did Lao Qianji come so early today?"

Liu Weijian replied: "Your Highness: Early this morning, Concubine De, along with the princess and the Duke, went to Kunning Hall to express her gratitude. Concubine De misses Your Highness, so she will come to Qingning Palace from Kunning Palace later, so I ordered you to come to Qingning Palace."

Come and inform Your Highness!"

Zhao Xu heard this and said happily: "So, Wu Niang is doing well?"

"That's true!" Liu Weijian said: "The princess was well yesterday. Doctor Qian also said that she has recovered and is recovering as before!"

"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "In this case, Shi Niang and Thirteenth Lang will also come together?"

Liu Weijian bowed his head and said: "That's true!"

Zhao Xu took a step forward slightly, and then told Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, go to my back hall and get all the toys my father gave me in the past!"

"Yes!" Feng Jinggong accepted the order and left.

Zhao Xu began to wait for the arrival of his biological mother, brother and sister.

Especially the fifth daughter of the emperor, the sister who he later posthumously named Princess Huiguo.

In a previous life, this sister had already died of a sudden illness.

Zhao Xu even forgot what she looked like. He only remembered that she liked to wear beautiful colorful clothes and that she would happily call "Sixth Brother" every time she saw Zhao Xu.

And her death made Zhao Xu very sad in his previous life.

That was the first time he felt the separation between life and death.

Half a month after Wu Niang died, he lost his father.

At the age of eight, he had no relatives in the palace since then - his remaining sisters and brothers were too young and had no affection for him.

Speaking of which, it is also embarrassing.

Zhao Xu's father gave birth to fourteen sons and ten daughters in his life.

But the number of sons who survived to adulthood, including Zhao Xu himself, was six sons and one daughter.

All the other princes and princesses died young, and most of them died before the age of three.

Moreover, even among those who survived, there were only three left who could live past the age of thirty.

But, even so, this report card is already the best record of the Imperial Song Dynasty court in a hundred years.

The disciples of Zhenmiao will survive as a Renmiao.

All the disciples of Renmiao died young, and even their daughters could only support four.

As for the daughters of the late emperor's sons and daughters, the survival rate was extremely high, but they were all born in Pudi!

The person who really solved this royal curse was Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji carried out extensive construction work, completed the construction of Yanfu Palace, and then built Gen Mountain.

He used the water transportation system built for him by his father and brother and the money he left to seal the piles. He used the flowers and stones to make money, which made the people miserable and wars everywhere.

, I heard that even the bones were boiled in oil by the Jin people after death!

But his sons and daughters were all born, and most of them grew up healthy!

When Zhao Xu read the history books in the new century, he gritted his teeth while reading, and he was also envious and jealous - his son, that poor child, had just been born, but died in just three months!

It was not the pain of losing a son, so how could Zhao Xu do such crazy things in early spring?

Not yet, I just want to have a son!

"In the future, I will also have to build a new palace!"

Zhao Xu said in his heart.

No matter what, even if the pot is sold, a new palace must be built!

Like Renmiao and his previous life, if you can't support your son, what's the use of having more achievements?

Zhao Xu did not wait long.

About half an hour later, Feng Jing came to announce: "Your Highness, Concubine De, the two princesses and Duke He are here!"

Zhao Xu immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the palace, Zhao Xu saw his biological mother, Mrs. Zhu.

Even though it's been a long, long time since I've seen her.

But Zhao Xu recognized it at first sight.

Unlike Empress Xiang, who loves plain and dignified clothing and advocates frugal and restrained cultural aesthetics.

Zhao Xu's biological mother, the Zhu family, was born in a humble background. After entering the palace, especially after being favored, she began to pursue wealth and status and liked to show off her status.

Therefore, the clothes she wore and the flower crown on her head were all gorgeous and extravagant.

Even the silk thread embroidered on the gauze is made of gold!

Seeing this, Zhao Xu sighed in his heart: "I am a mother-in-law..."

"You are really not afraid of being taken advantage of!"

However, Zhu is such a person.

Her shortcoming is that she likes luxury and luxury and pursues enjoyment.

The same is true for the greatest advantage - no matter how extravagant a woman in the palace is, how much money can she spend?

It's better than Zhao Xu's previous life, the women in the harem who fought with each other every day, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Therefore, Zhao Xu left her alone.

Zhao Xu took a step forward and kowtowed to his mother politely: "My son says hello to my sister!"

Literally, you can call her "mother concubine". This is etiquette! It is also for the eyes of courtiers and scholar-bureaucrats all over the world.

You must not mess up Gangchang by calling him by name! This is for everyone in the palace, especially Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang.

In his previous life, he had been a king for fifteen years and studied abroad for ten years in modern times. He was not lacking in both theory and practice.

Zhao Xu is now a mature, rational and even utilitarian and cold-blooded monarch.

He knows what to do to his advantage.

I also understand how to hold power in the palm of my hand.

Just like now, just like this moment.

Facing his mother who came by surprise, Zhao Xu was as calm as a machine.



Note: It is said that after the death of Huizong and his son, their bones were boiled in oil by the Jin people. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but the Jin people seem to have a tradition of boiling the bones of noble people in oil!
