Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

One day half a month later, Defang and Concubine Di had had breakfast and came to the small pavilion by the lake. Baili built a few small stoves around, and the two sides of the pavilion were blocked with yellow mancloth. Avoiding too much cold wind blowing to the prince and his wife can also play a role in keeping warm.

Defang and Concubine Di were sitting together, and Concubine Di was holding Weiling and Pan Weixi's five-year-old son Xinqi. The two were very happy playing with their little grandson. At this moment, Baili ran over in a panic, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

As soon as Defang and Concubine Di got up to greet them, Zhenzong walked over, and Defang hurried forward, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so please forgive me for not going to greet you." Concubine Di also saluted, "See Your Majesty"

"Your brother and sister-in-law don't need to be polite, don't let the child catch cold." Zhenzong put his hand on Xinqi's head and said, "It's because I didn't let them report."

Defang asked Zhenzong to sit down, and he sat down with Concubine Di. Zhenzong said, "Brother Huang, I have some things to discuss with Brother Huang and his sister-in-law. Let the left and right step down."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Defang turned to Baili and Jiajun and said, "Baili, take Xinqi back, you all step back, Jiajun, take the guards a hundred steps away to wait."

At this time, there were only Zhenzong-Defang and Concubine Di in the pavilion. Defang and Concubine Di looked at each other. discuss?"

Zhenzong leaned forward and said softly, "A court lady who is lucky to be here is happy."

Defang and Concubine Di were surprised, and Defang said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Unexpectedly, Zhenzong waved his hand, "Brother Emperor, it is for this that I came to Nanqing Palace."

"Your Majesty, I don't understand very well, please let Your Majesty clarify."

"Brother Emperor, the maid of honor for me is the queen's maid. She was not feeling well a few days ago. The imperial doctor diagnosed her pulse and said it was a happy pulse, but I didn't let them talk about it."

"Why? This is a happy event." Defang was puzzled

Zhenzong shook his head, "Brother Huang, do you still remember what I said to Brother Huang some time ago?"

Defang thought for a while, and suddenly remembered what Zhenzong said about murdering the prince, so she nodded, "I remember."

Zhenzong looked at Defang and looked at Concubine Di, "I have considered for a few days and made a decision, and I need the help of the emperor's brother and sister-in-law."

"Your Majesty, please tell me that the minister and his wife must obey the will"

Zhenzong paused for a moment, his expression a bit embarrassed, and then he said as if he had made a lot of determination, "Emperor Brother and Sister-in-law, I have decided to place Li's maid in the Nanqing Palace."

Defang and Concubine Di looked at each other, "Does Your Majesty want the maid of the Li family to come to the minister's mansion to recuperate?"

Zhenzong shook his head, "I want to keep her in the imperial brother's palace"

"I don't quite understand what His Majesty means," Defang asked doubtfully.

"Brother, I don't want people to know that she is happy," Shinzong said.

"I don't want others to know? Then what is your majesty's intention of keeping Mrs. Li in the palace?" Defang was even more puzzled

"I sent Mrs. Li to the palace. On that day, the emperor's brother wanted to announce that the emperor's wife was happy, not Mrs. Li," Shinzong said.

Defang was very surprised, and Concubine Di asked, "Why is this, Your Majesty?"

"Emperor's sister-in-law, don't be alarmed. I just want the emperor's son to give birth safely. Although Li is a court lady, she has a benevolent character and is not as weak as a concubine." Zhenzong looked at Defang, "If a daughter is born, I will make her a princess , if a prince is born." Zhenzong's expression became very tangled, "Please ask the emperor's brother and sister-in-law to take care of him. One day, I will make him a prince"
