Chapter 972 Knowing how to advance and retreat is the only way to handle it calmly
Chapter 972
"You kid, you are not honest when you see your elders, and you actually want to start a military campaign and ask for punishment?" Gao Taotao laughed and deliberately said angrily.
"Hehe, how dare my grandson? I'm just joking with you, your mother and mother... By the way, Mother, I'm talking about it, there's something that my child has always forgotten to tell you."
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it." Empress Dowager Xiang's expression gradually returned to normal, she showed a gentle and generous smile, and asked Zhao Xu.
"Before, my mother, you gave a Ning family, saying that she would stay and take care of the queen. Later, I asked her that she only knew the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, but she did not understand medical theory and pharmacology."
"At that time, the child thought that what Meng needed was a person who knew pharmacology and checked medical principles, so he could take care of the unborn child. Therefore, he asked Doctor Wang from the Imperial Hospital to teach him the way of medical principles."
"I hope she will become another good doctor in my Song Dynasty in the future. After she graduated, whether it is Meng, the emperor's grandmother, or the mother and the mother, if she is slightly ill, she will find this female doctor to seek medical treatment. I think it will be more convenient than finding those male imperial physicians..."
"This is a child's act of making a decision. Please ask the mother to not blame him..." After talking for a long time, Zhao Xu bowed to the Queen Mother Xiang, very serious.
Now, Empress Dowager Xiang stayed on the spot, making a sound for a while, and her face turned blue, red and white.
Gao Taotao was so angry that he couldn't help but glared at Zhao Xu who said this deliberately, then cleared his throat and quickly got into a muddle.
"Your Majesty is really filial. Being able to have such thoughts really comforts the Ai family. This is also a good method. There are many women in the palace, and most of the Imperial Hospital are men. This really makes many women have a lot of inconvenience when seeking medical treatment."
"If women can learn medicine and have female medical officials, then the women and children of our Song Dynasty will be considered lucky..."
"Yes, my mother is far-sighted. It seems that I am short-sighted..." Empress Dowager Xiang pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled very far-fetchedly.
After sitting for a while, Gao Taotao naturally did not want to see the awkward atmosphere continue, so he stood up and said goodbye. The Empress Dowager Xiang naturally wanted to send the Empress Dowager back to the Chunqiu Palace, and the two left Ningshou Palace with each other.
After the two left, Concubine Zhu De let out a long sigh, and the emperor next to him supported Concubine Zhu De with concern. "Mother, are you okay?"
Concubine Zhu De shook her head, turned her head, looked at her own son and said helplessly. "I'm fine. You, you just did that, will cause trouble. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager mediated it."
"What trouble can happen? The child didn't turn against her directly. He is already very worthy of what she said just now." Zhao Xu raised Yang Ying's sharp eyebrows and said disdainfully.
"You, you heard it just now?" Concubine Zhu De couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Actually, when the Empress Dowager first entered Ningshou Palace, the child saw it. But the child came quietly, stood at the door and heard a good show, haha..."
After helping Zhu Defei back to the house, Zhao Xu told the truth. "It seems that the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid she can't stand it anymore..."
"Official family, what do you mean?" Concubine Zhu De seemed a little nervous.
"It's nothing, mother, don't worry. With me here, what's really hard for us to be together in this world?" Zhao Xu said with a warm smile.
"If the queen of mother is fine, why don't she move to me? Your grandson and granddaughter miss you, grandma."
Concubine Zhu De originally wanted to refuse, but she really longed to look at her grandchildren in her heart. She was finally moved by Emperor Zhao Xu and went to Funing Palace together.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiang kept sending the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao to the Chunqiu Palace. He helped Gao Taotao into the warm room as spring. Gao Taotao then handed over the outer cover of his body to the eunuch, walked to the faint red copper stove and sat down.
"Xiang, come and sit down too. Come on, prepare hot tea quickly..." After greeting Empress Dowager Xiang, she sat beside her, and served tea and pastries when she was instructed by Gao Taotao.
Xu Degong drove all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room out of the door with understanding, and then he stood at the door himself to prevent idle people from approaching.
At this time, I took a sip of hot tea and felt the warmth. Gao Taotao, who gradually slipped from his throat to his abdomen, then he let out a breath of turbid air and said to Empress Dowager Xiang with a smile. "Xiang, your performance today is not like the Empress Dowager I know..."
Looking at Gao Taotao's smile, Empress Dowager Xiang felt guilty and quickly bowed her knees to the ground. "Mother, I am the concubine..."
"Get up, since I am a family, I can't speak well if I kneel down like this." Gao Taotao stretched out his hand and gently held her.
"Your Majesty was born by Zhu, so it is necessary to get closer to Zhu. Moreover, over the years, Zhu has been careful and never out of rituals. It is also necessary to go to comfort him if he is old."
Seeing Xiang opening his mouth to defend himself, Gao Taotao raised his hand and continued to say to himself. "In the past, the reason why the Ai family had always disagreed with Your Majesty's request to ask Your Majesty to be the queen mother was because Your Majesty was still young and acted too impulsively and recklessly."
"But now, Your Majesty is no longer the young man who has to let others decide on him in everything, do you understand?" Gao Taotao's eyes fell on Xiang.
Xiang Shi lowered her head, but she didn't speak up. Gao Taotao didn't care about her way of protesting with silence.
"Do you know how the relationship between the Ai family and Your Majesty has improved? It is because the Ai family has already understood that the official family is an adult and must be given enough respect. It is not only respecting his identity, but also respecting his actions..."
"Can't you express your mistakes?" Empress Dowager Xiang raised her head, looked at Gao Taotao steadily, and said with courage.
"If Your Majesty is wrong, we will naturally stand up and mention it, but is it really that clear between right and wrong and black and white?" Gao Taotao's deep eyes fell on the face of the Queen Mother Xiang and asked leisurely.
Empress Dowager Xiang was stunned and opened her mouth, but she really didn't know how to answer the rhetorical question of Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.
"Ai's family has said so much, just to let you understand a truth, know how to advance and retreat, and know the general, so that you can handle it calmly. Your Majesty is just like the morning sun, and there are still many days in the future. There are some things that you don't need to say to Ai's family, you know, alas..."
Looking at Empress Dowager Xiang's expression, Gao Taotao suddenly felt a little disheartened and slowly shook his head dejectedly. "The Ai family is a little tired, so you can go back too.
