Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked at Emperor Taizong, then lowered her head again, "Your Majesty has ordered, my nephew will not hesitate to do so."

"Accompany me for a drink, you and my nephew have never had a drink alone before," Taizong said

Defang raised her head, her eyes were slightly puzzled, but she still replied, "My nephew complies with the order, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Taizong reached out and pressed Defang's arched hand, "My family, don't be too formal."

Defang bowed slightly, "Yes, Uncle Emperor"

Taizong smiled, nodded to Defang, and said to Rongxi outside the door, "Prepare the banquet, I want to drink with my nephew."

Rong Xi's answer came from outside the door, "The servant obeys the order"

Defang thought for a while and said to Taizong, "Your Majesty, nephew Rongchen, please ask the guards to bring a message back."

"Oh? Concubine Di?" Taizong looked at Defang

Defang blushed a little, "...yes, let her not have to wait for me to go back"

"Yeah." Taizong nodded, "That's how it should be. The emperor's nephew really loves his wife, hahaha"

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Defang exited the Chongzheng Hall and came to Jiajun at the door, "Jiajun, I want to have a drink with His Majesty tonight, you go back and tell Madam, let her not wait for me to go back to eat, and go to bed early."

"Yes, Your Highness, this subordinate will report now, and then come back and wait for Your Highness immediately." Jia Jun turned and returned to the residence

Taizong and Defang drank together for several hours, asking Defang about her daily life, what she needed, etc. During the meeting, Taizong shed tears when talking about the first emperor, and Defang also had tears in his eyes because of the atmosphere Drinking, Taizong was in high spirits, talking about his childhood with the late emperor, his military career, until the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Defang listened quietly, and occasionally wrote a note praising the late emperor and Taizong, but his heart was very painful, Taizong patted Defang's back, promised to take good care of him and the Song family, and held Defang's hand and said, "Now you are the only son of the late emperor, and I hope to help my country affairs, and I will ensure your prosperity and well-being." Swaying, it was already deep winter, and it was so cold outside that there was not even a sound of animals. Taizong and Defang's uncle and nephew had been drinking each other until the second watch. Defang was already a little drunk, thinking that his wife and children were still in the mansion, I was very concerned, seeing that Taizong's eyes were slightly red and swollen because of recalling the past, and he was quite drunk, so he said to Taizong, "Your Majesty, my nephew is grateful for your majesty's long grace, and I hope the uncle can take care of the dragon's body. Let's drink today, my nephew deeply Feeling the kindness of the emperor's nephew to my nephew, my nephew will definitely share His Majesty's worries, it is very late today and may affect His Majesty's early court tomorrow, please rest early."

Taizong drank another cup and looked at Defang, "The emperor's nephew has grown up..." Taizong stood up and nodded, "You should go back to rest earlier."

"Uncle Xie, my nephew will take my leave first, Uncle take care of the dragon's body" Defang slowly exited the inner hall and walked outside the door. A gust of wind blew by and it was very cold. Holding each other together, at this time, only one person came quickly and put a thick fur cape on Defang. Defang looked up and saw that it was Jiajun. Jiajun had been waiting at the door. At this time, his face was red with cold, His brows were furrowed, he must have been terribly cold, but his movements were still neat, and he said, "Your Highness, the sedan chair is ready, please."

Defang didn't speak, walked out of the palace quickly, got on the sedan chair, and returned to Nanqing Palace after a while. Defang entered the mansion and said to Baili, "The porter bearers are rewarded with 2 taels of silver each, and a set of casual cotton clothes."

"Yes, I'll do it, little one." Baili ran over

Defang rubbed her hands, walked to the main hall, took off the fur cloak and handed it to Jiajun, "Put it on, it's cold enough, go to bed early." Defang walked into the room without waiting for Jiajun's answer. hospital.

Jia Jun held the cloak, feeling warm in his heart. Looking at the cloak, he couldn't help but smile when he thought of this "noble younger brother", turned around and called the guards, arranged the inspection and went back to the room.
