Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"That's not as good as Brother Wang."

"Brother Wang is really so good?"

"Of course." The eldest princess nodded, "Brother Wang is the head of the clan, with mighty virtue inside and a virtuous name outside."

Defang chuckled, "It's useless to please Brother Wang, you can't be sloppy at all when you go to the Chai Mansion to salute later."

About half an hour later, the eldest princess' servant came to the door with a person, "Reporting to the prince and the eldest princess, Eunuch Zhou is here."

Zhou Huaizheng stepped forward to salute, "The villain sees the prince, the eldest princess."

"Eunuch Zhou?" Defang asked, "Why did you come to Puningfang? Does Your Majesty have any intentions?"

"Returning to the Lord" Zhou Huaizheng cupped his hands and said, "Lord Chai has seen Shengjia, His Majesty has informed that the Eldest Princess will come to the mansion to perform the gift of uncle, Lord Chai bowed down and declined, but..."

Before Zhou Huaizheng finished speaking, the eldest princess stood up and said, "Great! Did the emperor say that I don't have to go to Chai Mansion?"

"Princess, Your Majesty said."

"Brother Huang is the best to me." The eldest princess turned to Defang and said, "Brother Wang, I can't let you go for nothing. Let's have lunch at Puningfang. Let you try the stewed mutton from the inner chef. Fragrant."

Defang smiled and shook his head, "You child, Mr. Zhou hasn't finished talking. Besides, brother Wang must eat stewed mutton with your sister-in-law, otherwise it won't taste good, hehehe"

"It's easy to handle. My younger sister will follow you back to Nanqing Palace. You and your sister-in-law will treat my younger sister to eat. My younger sister also wants to eat the sweet and sour fried fish made by the ancient steward of your house."

"Good guy, brother Wang came to your house early to talk with you, and you have to take care of the meal at noon. You are almost catching up with that old man Kou, hehehe" Defang smiled, "but if you want to talk about sweet and sour fried fish, then It’s really a masterpiece of the ancient steward. This fish must be a carp from a section of the Yellow River in the east of the city. There is a place where the Yellow River bends. It is the last bend of nine bends and eighteen bends. The water flow is very slow, and the water on it will stagnate here. Swirling, the water is rich, and the fish is very full, this sweet and sour fried fish is really impossible for others to learn."

"My little sister is hungry." The eldest princess stood up and took De Fang's arm. "Brother Wang, it's almost lunch time. Let's go now."

"Don't worry." Defang patted the eldest princess's hand, then looked at Zhou Huaizheng and asked, "Eunuch Zhou, Master Chai refuses to accept the gift from the eldest princess, what does your majesty say?"

Zhou Huaizheng cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the lord, your majesty said that although the eldest princess is a dignified person, she is also Lord Chai's grandson-in-law. Ordinary people would bow down according to the etiquette, let alone the royal family, etiquette cannot be revoked, so your majesty sent a villain to bring officials from the Ministry of Rites here." , teach the Eldest Princess how to salute, and then invite the Eldest Princess to drive to the Chai Mansion to perform the salute to uncle and aunt."

After hearing this, the eldest princess said unhappily, "Isn't it just to salute, why are you making such trouble, let them go back."

"Princess, this is His Majesty's will."

"I don't care! Let them go back!"

Zhou Huaizheng looked at Defang in embarrassment, "My lord, this."

Defang looked at the eldest princess and said, "Rong Yue, your salute is not just a family matter, it is related to the etiquette system of the Great Song Dynasty. Your majesty is your elder brother, but he is also the emperor of the emperor. The will of the sage must not be disobeyed."

"Brother Wang" the eldest princess groaned, Defang smiled and shook her head, "Princess Wang, how can such a grown-up person still act like a child? If you are disobedient, Brother Wang will not come to see you in the future."

"The little girl will go by herself."
