Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Hehehe, sister-in-law, this is enough. I know that as long as it is for the sake of the emperor, you will put the overall situation first. I let you know about this, but I am actually worried that there will be omissions in the future. If rumors spread In the ears of the emperor's brother, the emperor's sister-in-law will promptly dispel his doubts, and even if the emperor's brother knows all about it one day, I believe that the emperor's wife will have a way to appease the emperor's brother."

Concubine Di got up and saluted, "Your Majesty has thoughtful plans for the prince, and my concubines thank you for your kindness."

"Imperial sister-in-law is free of courtesy. I and the emperor's brother are siblings, and the blood relationship should be like this. This time, the emperor's wife is the hardest. She has to keep the secret and persuade the emperor's brother. Although Princess Xingping is not the emperor's wife. But it must be hard to let go.”

"This is all for the sake of the prince, and the concubines will definitely do their best."

"Sister-in-law, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Back then, the emperor didn't want the emperor's wife to know about this matter, so he must have been extremely tormented, but he never thought that today the emperor's wife still knows everything, but the emperor's brother didn't know the inside story. I think that the emperor's wife must be very disturbed at this time It’s only because the old medicine didn’t work, and it cost the life of the test room female officer.”

"It's not anyone's fault, it's just that the result is too unexpected. Now, no matter what, the courtiers will put the prince first and follow His Majesty's arrangement to properly resolve this matter."

"That would be the best." Zhenzong nodded, "Sister-in-law, I heard that the emperor's brother was very annoyed at Cao Jue's injury to Xingping Princess. After going to Nanqing Palace, is it because Cao Jue asked to be demoted because his brother and Cao Can made him do so?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the prince was very angry at Cao Jue's accidental injury to Junzhu, and almost sent someone to arrest all the people in Xingping County's lord's mansion. I kidnapped my younger brother to plead guilty, so I decided to let Cao Jue go to Zongzheng Temple to ask for a censorship and demote, and this only slightly calmed the prince's anger."

"That's the way it is, but this time I punish the princess and the horse, I'm afraid the emperor will be very angry with Cao Jue again, and then I will ask the emperor's wife to comfort him and let the emperor take care of his health. Although Princess Xingping will Imprisonment, but this is just a symbolic punishment, I will not really let her suffer."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, the concubine will persuade the prince well."

Zhenzong and the empress chatted with Concubine Di for a long time, had dinner together, and rewarded Concubine Di with some items, and did not return to the Nanqing Palace until almost Xu. Why did you come back so late?"

Concubine Di signaled Ke'er to put away the things first, but Concubine Di Ke'er walked away before saying, "The queen talked with the concubine for a long time, and even talked about the children. The queen said that the dining room has made some new dishes, so I kept my concubine for dinner, and the concubine thought it was very delicious, and wanted to come back to let the prince taste it, so I asked Ke'er to learn it, and it was too late when I came back."

"I see, madam always thinks of the lonely king so much." Defang patted Concubine Di's hand and said, "But look, madam, it's almost Xu time. If madam doesn't go back to the mansion, I will go into the palace and ask the queen for help." people."

"Is it possible to lose a concubine when she enters the palace?"

"Ma'am" Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Why does Madam look so bad? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"No discomfort, maybe I'm tired from sitting for too long."

Defang nodded, "That's right, by the way, ma'am, some new tea has arrived today, it's very fragrant, let's go to the teahouse and try it."
