The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 204
The road from the imperial dining room to the imperial study room is very long. If the emperor remembers to eat before ordering preparations, it will take at least an hour or two. Zhao Jing changed the rules when she was in the palace, and every day at noon At the first moment, the imperial dining room delivered the food and put it on the stove in the tea room to heat up, which was better than the emperor eating cold food and cold dishes.

The dishes were ordered the night before, so that they could prepare in advance what the emperor liked to eat.

After a while, the imperial meal was set up in the side hall outside the imperial study room. Zhao Jing was standing by the side to serve as usual, but the emperor pulled her to sit down with her. Zhao Jing just refused, and Zhou Xu didn't insist anymore.After serving Zhou Xu, Zhao Jing finished her lunch, and she went down to eat something with the little maids, and then returned to the imperial study.

The little emperor is choosing a house for her. It was built in the early days of the Yong Dynasty. There are a large number of houses left by the royal family and dignitaries in the capital. It is under the control of the palace.

In fact, Zhao Jing didn't want a princess mansion at all, she was alone, what would it be like to live in it?If Zhao Yong and Yuan Shi are invited to live in, they are a chef in Piaoxianglou and a housewife who does housework at home, guarding such a large garden, they will become janitors.

Zhao Jing thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this house should be free. I don't know which generation passed it down. The slave and maid live alone in it. It's weird. Although the slave and maid have brothers and sisters, the family There are only five people in total, and they can't live in such a big house."

Zhou Xu frowned and thought for a while, then sighed and said, "The uncle asked me to choose the house, and said that even if my aunt can't live, she can be a dowry in the future..." The emperor suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Jing , and asked in a daze: "Auntie, will she really marry?"

There was disappointment in the young man's brows and eyes, and a bit of pain could be seen in the clear eyes, he paused and said: "I know, my aunt will not enter the palace as a concubine, but at least with this status, my aunt can often Come into the palace to see me..."

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Jing's heart throbbed in pain, and she held him in her arms like a child, "Your Majesty has really grown up, she has lost her childishness, and is still so sensible. Auntie will definitely enter the palace frequently in the future." The palace is up to you."

The little emperor turned his head sideways, wiped a tear from his eyes on Zhao Jing's chest, hugged Zhao Jing and said, "Uncle won't come to see me in the palace anymore, I'm really a loner now."

Since Zhao Jing met Wei Mingzhen last time at Cihang Temple, she really hadn't heard about him. He could have been the favorite of the day, but now he did this for his biological mother, which is really embarrassing.

It was already the end of the day when Zhao Jing came out of the palace, and the emperor rewarded three carts of things. Zhao Jing thought that the three rooms on Gulou Street would not be able to fit in. With this temperament, I can't sleep at night, and I can't wait to stare at him every day, but it is a burden.

Zhao Jing and Fu Manduo declined for half a day, and only brought a few things out of the palace.She took these few things back to Gulou Street, when the time came, she would leave the rest to Yuan Shi, and take one or two of them as a dowry, which would be enough to calm the eyes of the neighbors.

As the sky outside gradually darkened, Zhao Jing sighed, adding another layer of identity for no reason, after all, she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

The emperor also said that he wanted Zhao Jing to enter the Taimiao to pay homage to his ancestors, but Zhao Jing refused. With her status as a remnant of the previous dynasty, how dare she enter Dayong's Taimiao now.

When we arrived at Drum Tower Street, the sky would be dark, Zhao Jing stepped forward to call out, Yuan Shi came out to welcome her, and asked curiously, "Sister, why are you back today?"

Zhao Jing dragged Yuan Shi in. She didn't want her neighbors to know that she was made a princess. Zhao Yong and Yuan Shi were ordinary people, so it's better to let them continue to live the lives of ordinary people.

"Sister-in-law, the emperor summoned me into the palace today, saying that I was rewarded for my meritorious deeds for saving my driver the day before yesterday, and all the things in the car were rewarded by the emperor, so my sister-in-law just put them away properly."

The little eunuch carried things to the living room, among them was a crystal clear Jade Buddha, which Zhao Jing brought back and wanted to give it to Mrs. Xu.

The two children stared at those shiny things without blinking, but they didn't dare to reach out to touch them. They just stretched their necks curiously, studying what they were.

The little eunuch finished moving the things, Zhao Jing sent them out, closed the courtyard door and entered the main room, before Yuan Shi woke up from the shock, she took Zhao Jing's hand and asked, "Sister, put these good things at home. What if there is a thief?"

Zhao Jing smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't tell me, who knows that our family has these good things. I have thought about these things. Except for this Jade Buddha, I will take them away, and the others will be kept at home. These palace gifts I don’t dare to sell off the things that I own, so let’s leave them for the children’s future family heirlooms.”

While talking to Zhao Jing, Yuan Shi couldn't help but look out the door twice, for fear that there might be neighbors listening in the corner outside. She saw the two children staring at the thing without blinking, only staring at it. He glanced at him and said, "Big girl Erhu, did you hear that? You are not allowed to talk about what happened today! If you let others know that we have these things in our house, you will be robbed!"

The two children were dumbfounded. After hearing this, they just nodded their heads honestly.
