The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 344 Entering the Palace (2)
There was silence inside and outside the curtain. Zhao Jing sat there thinking about Mrs. He. She always wanted to find a chance to tell the little emperor. She was at a loss as to how to speak, but she heard Zhou Xu from inside saying calmly: "This plaster is just for you." No, there's musk in it."

Imperial Physician Du was stunned for a moment, looked out following the little emperor's line of sight, and said with a smile: "Mrs. The emperor gives the medicine."

Zhou Xu nodded, ordered someone to put on his clothes for him, and hung the cloth strips that fixed his arms on his chest, and then followed Imperial Physician Du to the outside room.Zhao Jing hurriedly stood up, and leaned towards Zhou Xufu, but couldn't help but cast a glance at Imperial Physician Du, and said to Zhou Xufu: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your grace."

"Auntie, please tell me, you and I don't need to be so cautious." Zhou Xu held one arm fixed, and stretched out the other hand to give Zhao Jing a virtual support.Zhao Jing got up and said: "The emperor doesn't know, but he still can't remember the Qi family. All the men of his family died for the country. General Qi's twin daughters are now raised in our Hou's mansion. A few days ago, the aunt of the Qi family brought Qi The girl from home also sent it over, I saw that the eldest aunt was ill, and now she is pregnant again, if I can't handle it well..."

Because Zhao Jing was also pregnant, she didn't dare to say "one dead body, two lives", but when she thought of Mrs. He's appearance that day, she was really worried, and she couldn't help but said: "I don't know their family Have you asked the imperial doctor to look at it, if it can be rescued, it is also your kindness from the emperor."

Zhou Xu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "In this case, Imperial Physician Du will go to the He family to treat the aunt of the Qi family. She is also a famous general, so it is a pity to die like this."

Seeing that Zhou Xu agreed, Zhao Jing was about to greet with a smile, but was held back by Zhou Xu. He felt a little embarrassed when he touched Zhao Jing's finger, and turned around and said, "Dr. Du, let's go now. I also want to hear about Mrs. He's condition."

Zhao Jing knew that Zhou Xu was worrying about herself, so she said this so that she could understand Mrs. He's condition for a while, so she said to him, "The servant thanked the emperor."

Zhou Xu frowned, and asked Fu Manduo to send Imperial Physician Du out, then turned to Zhao Jing and said, "My aunt is already a second-rank Madam Hou, and she is still a slave and servant all day long. Besides, didn't I also make my aunt the head of the house?" Is the princess already? Is my aunt deliberately trying to be estranged from me?"

Zhao Jing was a little embarrassed by what he said, so she smiled and said: "The emperor is suspicious, slave... I'm just not used to it."

Zhao Jing spent lunch with Zhou Xu in the imperial study, and heard him talk about the fact that the Empress Dowager was going to entertain the ladies in the capital on the Qixi Festival. Seeing the frown of the little emperor, Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing Said: "I used to think that the emperor was still young, and he was not in a hurry to make a successor, but now I see that the emperor has become more and more lively recently. Although I think this matter is not urgent, I still have to look for it after all."

Zhou Xu blushed when he heard this, cleared his throat, and said to Zhao Jing: "My mother is bored in the palace alone, and I just want to find a few people to talk to her with. They also came into the palace together."

"They are timid, afraid to come in."

"Who is born to be brave, why don't you dare to come in? Besides, I am a tiger, will I eat them?"

Zhao Jing laughed when she heard the words, looked at Zhou Xu who was showing a bit of childishness, and said with a smile: "Although the emperor is not a tiger, he is a real dragon."

But Zhou Xu laughed and said jokingly: "Everyone says I am the Son of Heaven, but I have never seen a dragon's horn growing out of me, so it is obvious that it is a lie."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Jing was about to get up to say goodbye, but someone from outside came to pass the news, saying that the Empress Dowager had not seen Zhao Jing for a long time, she knew that she was coming to the palace, and wanted to invite her to come over.

Zhao Jing was a little afraid of the Queen Mother, but she didn't dare not to go after all the people came to invite her.The maid who came to invite him outside was still waiting, so Zhao Jing had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhou Xu, and followed the little maid to Yongshou Palace.

Zhou Xu remembered that Zhao Jing was pregnant, so he hurriedly ordered: "Fumandu, let Auntie take a sedan chair to go there."

Zhao Jing had already reached the door at this time, turned around and smiled at Zhou Xu: "No need, it's better for the servant to walk, this way, the servant is more familiar than the emperor."

There are hand-painted corridors along the way outside, and there are several feet high palace walls blocking the sun on the palace road, it is not too hot, but the wall is too high, after all, it is a bit stuffy, Zhao Jing walked all the way, only feeling chest Feeling so bored, he leaned against the wall and rested for a while.

Seeing Zhao Jing stop, the little maid also slowed down her pace and waited for her. She said with a smile, "Auntie, Mrs. Guo's uncle is also here, and she came into the palace specially to celebrate the emperor's birthday tonight. Auntie will also stay with you." , celebrate the Thousand Autumn Festival for the emperor?"
