德芳46岁王妃47岁长子29次子27幼子25女儿23-真宗37

---------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of October in the second year of Jingde, the imperial court delivered the first batch of property to the Liao State according to the covenant, and since then it has formed a practice for more than a hundred years.

At the beginning of November, Zhenzong offered sacrifices to the Taimiao Temple, and sacrificed to the gods of heaven and earth in Yuanqiu, and issued a decree to amnesty the world.

At the end of the same month, the maids and servants in the palace were busy with Fengtian Festival. Fengtian Festival was celebrated for Zhenzong's birthday, so all the decorations and hangings had to be properly arranged.

In the Nanqing Palace, Defang was in the main hall watching the new crown clothes made by Fengtian Festival sent by the Ministry of Rites. Concubine Di brought soup and walked in, "My lord, what are you looking at so seriously?"

"Ma'am, I'm looking at the crown clothes just delivered."

"Crown clothes?" Concubine Di put down the soup and came over to take a look. "The sable fur robe is very well made, and the pattern of the dragon is also very delicate. The sable tail and golden cicada on the sable crown are really more delicate."

"Yeah, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is getting better and better." Defang smiled

"The person who made the crown uniform for the royal family is naturally selected from a hundred, but the prince has seen it so carefully, do you think there is anything that needs to be modified?"

"Well, look at the pattern on the official uniform, the style of the belt, and the ornaments on the crown. The lonely king is afraid that if the craftsmen and weavers make mistakes, it will be troublesome."

"So that's the case." Concubine Di nodded, "The prince is afraid that something out of the norm will happen."

"Yes, it's better to be more cautious in everything." Defang smiled

"However, my lord, since the time of the first emperor, hasn't he already given him a crown and clothes to be adorned with a dragon shape? Even if there is something wrong, no one will say anything."

"Ma'am, that's the case, but no matter how high the title of the lonely king is, he is only a subject of His Majesty, and the people in the court are unpredictable, so it is always right to be cautious."

"That's right, my lord." Concubine Di smiled, "Come, have a bowl of soup."

"Ma'am, it's not like you went to the dining room to stew again?"

"Ke'er made it." Concubine Di said while serving soup, but Ke'er at the side said, "It's the ingredients prepared by your mother."

"Ke'er..." Concubine Di glanced at Ke'er, "You're not too young, why can't you hide your words?"

Hearing this, Defang said, "Ma'am, this is your fault, how can you lie to the lonely king? If so, the lonely king will not drink."

"The concubine would like to obey the order of the prince." Concubine Di saluted with the soup, and Defang hurriedly supported her, "Ma'am! You are really... hey... The lonely king is really afraid of you, I can drink it up." no?"

"Then you can't eat less for lunch," said Concubine Di

"Hey..." Defang took the soup bowl and said, "Kerr, you see, with my wife here, I'm about to become a fool."

Ke'er covered her mouth and smiled, when Baili walked in, seeing Defang, Concubine Di and Ke'er all laughing, she asked, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, what's so funny?"

Defang turned to look at Baili, "Hey, isn't this the chief manager of Baili, it's the funniest thing to see you."

"My lord, you're like this again." Concubine Di touched Defang and said, "Baili, don't pay attention to your lord, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, ma'am, His Majesty has sent Eunuch Zhou, saying that he is calling the prince into the palace."

After finishing the soup, Defang put down the bowl and said, "Now? Is Zhou Huaizheng here?"

"Yes, my lord, Eunuch Zhou is waiting in front of the mansion."

Defang shook her head, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
