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

In May 978, the third year of Taiping Xingguo, the imperial court issued an order to exempt the people in the provinces of Zhejiang and Zhejiang from paying taxes for one year.In the same month, Li Kerui, the envoy of the Dingnan Army, passed away, and his son Li Jiyun succeeded his father.

In June, because the carriages and horses of the post station were used for private purposes, it was difficult to find the time to use them. Therefore, the imperial court decreed that anyone who used the carriages and horses of the imperial court post station should have an exclusive silver medal.

At the beginning of July, Yang Xin, the commander of the capital in front of the palace, passed away, so Bai Jinchao, the Jiedu envoy of the Zhenwu Army and Yuhou of the palace in front of the palace, was appointed as the deputy commander of the capital in front of the palace. (Yang Xin was seriously ill in his later years and could not speak, but he was still able to organize the army. Although Bai Jinchao had nothing special, he was cautious in his words and deeds.)

In the Nanqing Palace, the servants were busy with the Hungry Ghost Festival, and had to prepare a lot of sacrifices and incense candles. During the day, Defang led Weixu to the study to read some poems to him, and then returned to the dormitory after dinner. Seeing Mingzhi bending over to put on shoes, Defang hurried over and squatted down and said, "Madam, why are you wearing shoes by yourself when you have a full stomach?"

"Wearing a pair of shoes will not hurt you." Mingzhi smiled

"That's not okay either." Defang helped Mingzhi put on his shoes and said, "What if you bend over like this and hurt the child, what about you?"

"I'm going to serve soup, I always feel tired lying down, so I want to get up and move around."

"Then wait for Ke'er to come back before leaving." Defang shook her head, "I'll help Madam go."

"No need." Mingzhi smiled, "Look at Xu'er still standing."

Defang hugged Weixu and said, "Madam, don't move around, it's almost eight months, be careful."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ming Zhi nodded, "Oh, Your Highness, this little guy kicked me again."

"Let me listen." Defang bent over and put his ear on Mingzhi's stomach, "Good guy, you're quite strong, you even kicked me."

"That's right, this little guy is more noisy than Xu'er. He moves all day long and is not honest at all. It seems that he will definitely be a naughty child in the future."

"Weixu" Defang patted Weixu, "Listen too, I don't know if it's a younger brother or a younger sister, so naughty, you have to take good care of your parents when you come out."

"Your Highness" said Baili outside the door, "The rituals are all ready."

"Okay, let's prepare the sedan chair."

"Yes, Your Highness" Baili turned and left

Mingzhi looked at Defang and asked, "Where is Your Highness going so late? Why are you still preparing the ceremony?"

"Ma'am, today is Duke Longxi's birthday. I'm going to visit him and I'll be back soon."

"I'm afraid only His Highness and Uncle Qi will go this year."

"Anyway, I also got to know him once. It's a courtesy to go and see him on his birthday." Defang smiled and handed Weixu to Mingzhi. back."
