Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 45 If she was his elder sister, she would beat him up

The twelfth lunar month.

When the servants in the palace began to seem very busy, Zhao Xin knew that something big must be happening soon.

This is not!

That day, Zhao Xin was told by Madam Miao to dress herself, and then a servant came over and said, "Madam Miao, the banquet at Qinghui Pavilion is about to begin, and the emperor asked me to inform you."

Madam Miao dressed up a little today and said, "Okay, we'll go there right away."

Zhao Xin also stretched his neck and asked, "What party?"

Madam Miao said, "You will know when you go there!"

By the time Zhao Xin finally changed into new clothes, new shoes, and a fu hat, he arrived at the so-called banquet.

At this time, many people had already arrived at the banquet venue.

However, more than 95% of them are women, and even if there are men, they are castrated.

Then Madam Miao greeted everyone.

"Madam Zhu!"

"Miao Madam!"

"It's been a long time since we last met. Zui Xinglai has grown so big!"

And there is Madam Yu.

Madam Zhang or something.

Madam Feng or something like that.

Zhao Xin took a casual look and found that there were at least five or six concubines in his father's harem who could be called "madam".

And that doesn't even count the ones who aren't called bitches.

of course!

Think about the emperors in ancient times. They often had a queen, four concubines, and nine imperial concubines. It doesn't seem strange at all that there were so many people.

Maybe they all gave birth to sons.
Nowadays, Madam Miao and Madam Zhu are in the same camp.

And those who did not give birth to sons seemed to automatically become part of another camp.

Of course, this does not mean that these two camps cannot interact with each other.

After all, this superficial courtesy still has to be maintained.

Madam Yu is probably the saddest person here.

Because she once had a son, who was the eldest son of an official family. However, he died on the day he was born.

to be frank!
Although these women sitting together seemed to be able to get along well, Zhao Xin still felt that there was a strong smell of gunpowder between them.

How could his father, who was so smart, come up with the idea of ​​gathering everyone together?

Isn’t he afraid that they will get jealous and then fight?

Ok!

Just after Zhao Xin watched Madam Miao chatting awkwardly with others for a while, his father and mother finally appeared.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

His father also said in a friendly manner: "Everyone sit down. Today is New Year's Eve. There is no need to be so reserved. Just relax, eat and chat."

Naturally, some people who were particularly good at livening up the atmosphere came out to speak.

Zhao Xin was also closely watching these people's every move.

The happiest thing this year was that Madam Zhu gave birth to another son for the emperor, so Madam Zhu became a hot topic of discussion.

Even Madam Miao, who was hotly discussed last year, had to be outdone by Madam Zhu.

of course!

In fact, Ms. Miao received almost the same treatment last year.

It can only be said that things change over time, and it is impossible for Madam Miao to always be "favored".

Zhao Xin also saw the Gao Taotao from before.

Standing right next to the Empress.

To be honest, Zhao Xin felt that this kind of major social event was not very suitable for him, so he glanced at Gao Taotao and signaled with his eyes.

The other party also understands.

The queen also saw it very sharply and whispered a few words to Gao Taotao, who then came over to Zhao Xin.

After coming to Zhao Xin's side, he asked, "Duke Shou is looking for me?" Zhao Xin replied, "You are the Queen's adopted daughter, so we should be siblings. You should call me brother... and I should call you..."

Then Zhao Xin's brain started to burn.

Was it that bastard who asked my sister to represent my biological mother?
It made him want to say that even his sister couldn’t do it!

"I should call you Sister Taotao."

Just a few months apart.

Zhao Xin speaks much more fluently now, and it even seems that he has become a lot smarter.

Then Gao Taotao was so surprised by his words that he was speechless.

Zhao Xin looked at the other person's dazed look and thought to himself: It seems that the age difference between him and me is still too big, and there is still a generation gap!

but……

Zhao Xin still asked: "Do you have anything fun?"

What fun could there be in that? Gao Taotao said, "There will be a performance from the Jiaofangsi in a while."

Zhao Xin said, "I'm asking about now."

Gao Taotao then said, "Then I have nothing fun."

It's really amazing!
After just a few months of not seeing each other, Gao Taotao felt that Zhao Xin's entire temperament had changed.

And tonight...

He is especially good looking.

This little face!

This dress!
This futou!
Feel……

I already feel like a little adult.

Gao Taotao also said: "You can eat if you are hungry."

Zhao Xin looked at the pile of oranges beside him and said, "I'm not hungry, but..."

Thinking about it, this orange is quite nutritious and can supplement vitamins, so it's okay to just try it. He is in urgent need of supplementing various nutrients now.

Then he said, "Then help me."

Gao Taotao only thinks he is young, otherwise, he wouldn't have broken it for him.

After Gao Taotao took one and broke it, Zhao Xin said, "You eat first."

Gao Taotao: “…”

What Gao Taotao actually wanted to say was, why?
But seeing his determined eyes, Zhao Xin ate a bite first, and then she said "thank you", took it and ate it, saying, "If it's sour, I won't eat it. Since you didn't frown, it must be sweet!"

Only then did Gao Taotao realize that he had been tricked by a little brat!

This made her feel a little bit helpless.

He gnashed his teeth and wished he could beat the other person up.

of course!

After all, he is the son of an official and we can’t afford to beat him.

I had to purse my lips.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Xin also said, "Don't be angry, I'll treat you to oranges!"

Gao Taotao became even angrier!
It was obviously me who broke it, okay!
Ah!
I really want to beat him up!
Zhao Xin pulled the other person aside again and asked quietly, "What have you been doing in the past few months?"

Gao Taotao: "Why is Lord Shou asking this?"

Zhao Xin: "I told you, don't call me Duke Shouguo, just call me Zuixinglai!"

Gao Taotao said reluctantly, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Xin said, "I'm just asking casually. I have nothing to say! I'm just killing time!"

The third time!

Gao Taotao's fists were clenched.

But in the end, I let it go!
Alas~ It’s because I am just an adopted daughter. If I were the other party’s eldest sister, Gao Taotao would definitely beat him up.

Gao Taotao also asked: "Then what are you doing?"

Zhao Xin said with a look of emotion, "I have nothing to do. I'm bored to death. I just sleep and eat every day."
