Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Hearing Taizu's words, Di Jixun couldn't help feeling a little shivering, and said, "Your Majesty's words are very true. It is an advantage for His Royal Highness to be cautious in handling things. I believe His Highness's benevolence will surely make subordinates submit."

Taizu smiled, "The wise are not confused, the brave have no fear, the honest have faith, and the benevolent are invincible. Defang already has the style of the wise, the heart of the honest, and the virtue of the benevolent, but there is still one [courage] missing, so when I see Mingzhi, I thought she would become my daughter-in-law, and with her temperament, she would definitely be able to help Defang." Taizu's implication was that if Mingzhi became Defang's concubine, then it would complement Defang's temperament perfectly. Maybe it can change Defang's temperament.

In this way, Taizu and Di Jixun made an arrangement on Defang's concubine.

A few days later, when the imperial court was underway, Di Jixun brought his daughter Di Mingzhi to the palace, asked her to rest in the tea room first, and went to the Chongzheng Palace to meet her first, and only told her that the emperor wanted to see her, and talked with her At home, when Di Jixun left, Mingzhi thought to himself, since he was here for fun anyway, he took advantage of this spare time to walk around first, so he came to Gongyuyuan after a few turns. They were all busy, and Mingzhi was simply wearing a set of casual clothes, nothing special, no one paid attention to her, so she looked at this and that in the garden, very happy, never seen such a The big garden, the pavilion with carved beams and painted pillars, everything is so grand, Mingzhi came to a flower bed, saw a branch of flower broken, so he reached out to take it, when a person ran by, blocked Mingzhi with his palm and said, "You What are you doing? How can you pick flowers?"

Mingzhi raised his head, and saw the young man in front of him, wearing plain clothes, but not wearing the outermost decorative gown, simple hair bun, but handsome, but he did not know that this man was the youngest son of Emperor Taizu, Defang , He had just finished taking a bath, wearing loose clothes, walking in the palace garden, happened to see Mingzhi running back and forth in the garden, so he came over to have a look.

At this time Defang was looking at Mingzhi, but Mingzhi looked up and felt a little strange, her heart was pounding, she quickly withdrew her hand and said, "What, I didn't pick it, I just saw the flower broke, I want to pick up"

Defang was also taken aback when he saw Mingzhi's front face. The woman in front of him was so beautiful, but she was not weak. He saw her running around just now, and she was quite energetic. He had never seen a woman like this before. Hearing Mingzhi If he said that, he looked back at the flower, and it turned out that it was really broken. He knew that he had misunderstood her, so he said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I misunderstood the girl." Defang looked up and looked at Mingzhi, Mingzhi was a little embarrassed, Defang also felt impolite, but she still said, "I've never seen a girl before, I don't know who you are?"

"I?... um... a new court lady" Mingzhi said, because she didn't know who the person in front of her was, and if the emperor found out about trespassing in the palace, she would be punished, so she also asked "Then who are you?"

Seeing that she didn't know her, De Fang also said, "I... am His Royal Highness's... bodyguard"

"You? Bodyguard?" Mingzhi looked Defang up and down, which actually made Defang a little embarrassed. When Mingzhi heard that he was not a big shot, he was relieved, so he said, "Look at your appearance, you are so white, you don't look like a bodyguard." , could it be the servant of some courtyard?"
