Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"My lord" Concubine Di pulled Defang aside, and said softly, "If it wasn't for the attitude of the lord back then, how could they be like this? I think they are just servants, and such and such are the actions of ordinary people. If the lord wants to punish everyone, then this Aren't there too many people in the mansion who will be punished, and "Concubine Di approached again" and said, "This matter will become a big deal, and rumors will spread, and the prince's treatment of the two wives chosen by the late emperor will be criticized by others. It's not a good thing."

Defang looked at Concubine Di and nodded, "Madam's words are very true...but...hey...then how should we deal with it?"

"My lord might as well punish them slightly so that they can all know what they have done wrong. From now on, they will not dare to treat the two wives lightly. Moreover, if these old servants are left behind, they can also control the people below. People, there will be no such thing in the future.”

Defang nodded, "It's still Madam who thinks well, so that's it." Then she turned to the steward of the dining room and said, "My lady interceded for you today because you have been loyal to the lonely king for nearly 30 years. Forgive you, but you must be punished for what you have done, come and give him fifty rods."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lady!" The steward of the dining room cried and kowtowed

After the steward of the dining room was taken out, Defang came to the Wang family and said, "This is all the fault of the lonely king, which caused my wife to suffer such a situation."

"My lord, this concubine doesn't care about these things. Being able to stay in the mansion to pray for the lord and everyone in the mansion is enough. I don't dare to ask for anything else."

"Madam said so, the lonely king feels even more guilty." Defang sighed, "Yan'er, is there anything else the lonely king doesn't know? You might as well say it all."

"My lord," Wang said, "The past is over, please don't make the mansion restless because of the concubine's affairs."

Concubine Di also pulled La Defang, "That's it for now, don't pursue it further, and the third wife is still ill, so you should take care of your health first."

"Then... just listen to Madam." Defang nodded,

"My lord, my lord," said the fourth wife Li Shi, "It's good for me to take care of my sister here, please don't worry."

"Alright, I think you two have lived together for more than 20 years and understand each other." Defang nodded, "The third lady has a good rest, then the fourth lady will take care of you here."

"Thank you, my lord," said Wang

Defang and Concubine Di went back to the dormitory to rest, sitting by the bed and Defang said, "Hey... I never thought these things would happen, I really..."

"My lord, don't think about it so much. The concubine is thinking about it. From now on, there are two people taking care of the lord. It really makes me happy."

"What are you happy about?" Defang hugged Concubine Di, "I have a wife and one person is enough, so many, it will be more troublesome."

"More troublesome? The prince means that concubines are very troublesome?"

"A little bit." Defang smiled and nodded

Concubine Di squeezed Defang's stomach with her hand, and Defang let out an ouch, rubbed her stomach and said, "Ma'am, don't bother now, it's numb!"

In the same month, the imperial court sent Judge Du Zhi and Dr. Taichang Zhou Jian as the envoys for the birthday of the Lord of Liao, Zhifang Langzhong, Han Guohua of Zhao Wenguan as the envoys for the mother of the Liao Dynasty, and judge Yantie and Secretary Cheng Zhang Ruogu as the envoys for the Lord of Liao. Specific provisions have been made on the items of gifts carried by envoys. (Since then, envoys from the Song and Liao Dynasties have been in touch for more than a hundred years.)
