The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 203
The little eunuch came to the door to summon Zhao Jing, and Zhao Jing pulled her hand from Zhou Yi's hand. She lowered her eyes and bowed to Zhou Yi, and said lightly: "Zhao Jing thank you for your kindness. If you have nothing else to do, then I will first went in."

Zhou Yi collected himself, with difficulty withdrew his right hand, clenched his fist unconsciously, turned his head and said, "Go in."

Ambergris was burning in the imperial study room. The little eunuch drew the curtain to lead Zhao Jing in. The little emperor Zhou Xu was sitting in front of the dragon case reading the memorial. When he heard Zhao Jing's footsteps, he raised his head. He smiled a little more, stood up personally and said, "Auntie, are you here? Little Fuzi, give me a seat!"

Zhou Xu's gestures became more and more imperial, Zhao Jing knelt down and bowed to him, and he had already walked up to him, helped her up and said, "Aunt, you don't have to give such a big bow to me in the future. , the emperor wants to recognize my aunt as a righteous sister, and from now on my aunt will really be my aunt."

Seeing Zhou Xu's happy face, Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief. The young man's ignorant emotions were finally put away, and it was the best thing to be able to call herself aunt.

The little eunuch brought a chair over, but Zhao Jing didn't dare to sit, and just stood beside Zhou Xu. She saw that the ink in the inkstone on the imperial case had dried up, so she stepped forward and squeezed her sleeve to sharpen the ink for him.Zhou Xu raised his head and glanced at her, then frowned and said, "Uncle Huang has already found out about the incident that I fell into the water in the Prince Regent's Mansion that day, and someone in the palace probably revealed my whereabouts, so Mrs. I will take her four daughters to the palace," Zhou Xu said, with a hint of disgust in his brows, and he said bitterly: "I almost fell into their way, if the emperor didn't tell me this, I wouldn't know how to read it." The seemingly gentle and harmless cousin has such a scheming plan!"

Zhao Jing looked at the little emperor's delicate brows and frowned, and said with a faint smile: "Your majesty is still young, and it is common sense that some things cannot be understood. It's just that the fourth daughter of Duke Jing's family almost hurt the dragon's body during this trip. What does the emperor plan to do?" punish her?"

"I originally planned to grant her death directly, but after Mrs. Jing Guogong cried in front of her mother, I granted her to go to Jingyue Nunnery to become a nun."

Zhao Jing did not expect that the little emperor would have such a violent temper when he was angry, but although the four girls did not die, it is undoubtedly a crueler and crueler punishment for a young girl to become a nun.

It's just that Gu Siniang's life is really hard, that kind of tricky idea can only be thought of by Mrs. Jing Guogong, she is just another victim.

Zhou Xu wrote down the imperial criticism on the memorial. Zhao Jing lowered her head and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "The emperor's handwriting is getting better and better. If you talk more about people, you will know that the emperor must be a man. Lord Ming."

Zhou Xu was a little proud of being praised by Zhao Jing, and said to Zhao Jing with a smile: "Auntie, stop talking, the emperor doesn't know what's wrong, he recently handed over all these government affairs to me, and I have a big head every day, so busy You can only sleep at the third watch, and you have to get up at the fifth watch, so you can’t get enough sleep after cleaning.”

After hearing this, Zhao Jing secretly speculated that Zhou Yi was planning to let the little emperor rule himself. In fact, it doesn't matter if he is the regent or the emperor's biological father. He can't become Dayong's emperor after all. It's just making wedding clothes for others.

"Your majesty knows that government affairs are busy now? I used to only know how to play, and said that the prince will not let you learn, but now I know the hard work here. The princess just passed away, and it is understandable that the prince is careless these days. Your majesty You are already grown up, you have to learn to share the burden for the prince."

Zhao Jing finished grinding the ink and put down the ink, and ordered the little maid to make tea. She sat with Zhou Xu for two or three cups of tea, watching him fold the stack of memorials piled up on the case into envelopes. After reading it, he frowned and wrote Zhu Zhu, finally stretched happily, turned around and said to Fu Manduo: "Little Fuzi, bring over the imperial decree I asked Master Liu to draw up yesterday, and declare it to Auntie."

What is written in the imperial decree is nothing more than official language, and what is said about meritorious service, respect and benevolence are all big words that are pleasing to the ear and festive.Zhao Jing knelt down and took the bright yellow sacred decree in her hands. Xiao Fuzi knelt down in front of her and said with a flattering smile: "My servant greets the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is a thousand years old."

Zhou Xu stood up, put his foot on Fu Manduo's buttocks, and ordered: "Have you prepared all the things I asked you to go to the library? Could it be that aunt is going out of the palace empty-handed like this?"

While rubbing his butt, Fu Manduo smiled and said: "The slave has already sent someone, what are you anxious about, the emperor, the things are ready, and my aunt is going out of the palace, doesn't the emperor want my aunt to stay in the palace for a while? "

Zhou Xu was very satisfied after hearing this, and continued to face Fu Manduo's leaving back: "Well said, then you prepare slowly, let's pass on lunch first."
