The death of Empress Zhang also caused an extremely heavy blow to Zhao Zhen. He didn't even attend court for half a month. Empress Dowager Li, Li Zhang and others could not bear to persuade him, and could only try to take care of Zhao Zhen's health. However, in the end, Lu Yijian and other ministers knelt in front of Zhao Zhen's bedroom and begged hard, which forced Zhao Zhen to cheer up again. After all, he was not only Queen Zhang's husband, but also the emperor of the whole world.

The first thing Zhao Zhen did to cheer up was to handle the funeral of Empress Zhang and give the posthumous title "Empress Cisheng Guangxiao". At the same time, Zhao Zhen also broke the previous convention and ordered the construction of the imperial tomb in advance, because the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty were generally built after the emperor's death and had to be completed within seven months. However, in order to bury Empress Zhang, Zhao Zhen broke this convention and issued an order to bury Empress Zhang with the order after his death.

Many ministers wrote letters to advise Zhao Zhen about such a violation of the rules, but Zhao Zhen did not listen at all. In the end, Lu Yijian also stopped the ministers from writing letters again. After all, Zhao Zhen is now in the pain of losing his wife and cannot listen to other people's advice. Moreover, although the construction of the imperial tomb in advance is not in accordance with the rules, it also avoids the hasty problems in the future construction of the imperial tomb. For example, when Zhao Heng's imperial tomb was built, the eunuch Lei Yungong was pulled down, and then implicated Prime Minister Ding Wei.

However, in addition to Zhao Zhen, the most pitiful one is the prince Zhao Fang. The little prince had no mother as soon as he was born. Fortunately, there was also Empress Dowager Li. As her grandmother, Empress Dowager Li took Zhao Fang by her side to take care of her. However, on this day, Empress Dowager Li summoned Li Zhang into the palace.

"See aunt!" Li Zhang immediately saluted when he saw Empress Dowager Li, and Qingori and Anran were also accompanying him. After all, this is the inner palace. If it weren't for the special situation where Empress Zhang gave birth before, it would have been difficult for Li Zhang to come in, but it would be normal to bring his wife and children to visit Empress Dowager Li.

"Grandma's hug!" As soon as Li Zhang finished speaking, An Ran stretched out his two fat hands and ran towards Empress Dowager Li. This made Empress Dowager Li happy. She immediately hugged An Ran and kissed her a few times. She also hung the pearl necklace on her neck on the child's neck. As a result, the little child had a string of big pearls, which looked a bit like Buddhist beads hung by a monk.

"Auntie, don't give An Ran things. She can't use them now. It's a pity to give her such a big pearl." Qingzhi also hurriedly advised that Empress Dowager Li likes children. Every time she sees An Ran, she is so happy that she almost fills the room with the things she gives.

"It's okay, keep it for the child, you can do a dowry in the future!" Empress Dowager Li waved her hand with a smile. After saying that, she also asked someone to carry Zhao Fang out. As a result, Anran opened her eyes wide and looked at the little guy. She reached out to touch her but was a little afraid.

"An Ran, this is your brother. You can't bully him in the future!" Empress Dowager Li smiled and introduced to An Ran. Qingzhi looked at the child but showed a sad look. She had also entered the palace to see Queen Zhang before, but she didn't expect that she was so beautiful that she died so early, and she was left with such a miserable child.

An Ran didn't know much, and even what his younger brother meant, but this did not prevent her from being curious about the little guy. At this time, with the encouragement of Empress Dowager Li, she boldly reached out and poked the little guy's pink face. As a result, Zhao Fang reacted very quickly and actually grabbed An Ran's little hand. An Ran was also very bold. Not only wasn't angry, but she also found it very interesting. It was probably in her eyes that Zhao Fang was a big toy that could move.

Seeing the interaction between the two little guys, Empress Dowager Li didn't know what he thought of, but she actually wiped her tears. Li Zhang was about to persuade him when he saw this, but he didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to speak at this time: "Zhang'er, there is something I want you to help!"

"You are polite aunt. If you have any questions, please give me instructions!" Li Zhang immediately said seriously when he heard this. It is definitely not a trivial matter to let Empress Dowager Li speak. At this time, Qingori immediately pulled Zhao Fang over and took An Ran to play next to her.

Looking at the background of Qingori leaving, Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction. She liked this smart and polite niece-in-law very much. However, seeing Qingori reminded her of her early daughter-in-law, which made her sigh.

"Actually, this matter is related to Fang'er. I don't know if you noticed it. Your Majesty seems to be a little dislike Fang'er." Empress Dowager Li finally explained the reason why she found Li Zhang.

Li Zhang frowned when he heard this. In fact, he had discovered it a long time ago. Since Empress Zhang passed away, Zhao Zhen has not seemed very intimate to Zhao Fang's son, at least not like a father should have. Li Zhang can guess the reason.

"I have also discovered what my aunt said. In fact, even if my aunt doesn't mention it, I will find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty. However, during this period, His Majesty was very sad about the Queen's death and had to force herself to handle government affairs. I couldn't bear to put pressure on him anymore, so I didn't go to His Majesty for the time being." Li Zhang sighed again at the end of his speech.

"I feel sorry for Your Majesty, but Fang'er has no mother right now. If Your Majesty, as a father, doesn't care about him, then Fang'er will be so pitiful." Empress Dowager Li wiped her tears when she said this. She felt sorry for her son and grandson, and even these days she was not worried about food and food, so she came to Li Zhang to discuss it.

When Li Zhang heard this, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Fang who was hugged by Qingzhi. He sighed inwardly. This child was indeed very miserable. When Empress Zhang was pregnant, she almost had an abortion. When she gave birth to him, she gave birth to prematurely and difficult. In the end, Empress Zhang gave birth to him in one life, but Zhao Zhen had a knot because of this matter. If this matter was allowed to develop, it might be another palace tragedy in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang also thought secretly. After a while, he finally looked up and said, "Let me take An Ran to see Your Majesty!"

As soon as Li Zhang said that, Empress Dowager Li immediately understood what he meant and nodded in praise. Then Li Zhang came to Qingzhi and found that An Ran was babbling with Zhao Fang and didn't know what to say. Maybe this is a unique language among children.

Li Zhang and Qingzhi explained to each other, and then hugged An Ran and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly Zhao Fang was unwilling to leave An Ran. At this time, he stretched out his little hand and kept screaming. Fortunately, a wet nurse next to him picked him up to feed him, which distracted the little guy's attention.
