The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 346 Interception (2)
The Empress Dowager Wei lowered her eyebrows, closed her eyes secretly, put her hand on the center of her brow, but couldn't help shaking her head and said: "Stupid woman, do you think Zhao Jing is just a court lady now? She is the filial and good princess who was appointed by the emperor. If her identity is revealed at that time, it will be tantamount to making the whole Dayong laugh at the court. The majestic regent recognized a princess from the previous dynasty as his righteous sister? This..."

"The queen mother... but Ming Zhen..." Liu Qingyan didn't know that the queen mother Wei would not allow it, and a slightly more depressed expression appeared on her face.

Empress Dowager Wei looked solemn, held the picture scroll in her hand, bit her lips and said: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run."

Xu Shi was pregnant and physically weak, and the road from the Imperial Study Room to Yongshou Palace became longer, and the sun became hotter just after noon.Zhao Jing wiped off her sweat, she stopped and stopped along the way, feeling a little embarrassed.Zhao Jing recalled what Aunt Zhu said last time about Chunxiu going out of the palace, and she asked the little maid: "I heard that Aunt Chunxiu is going out of the palace too, have you decided on a date?"

The little maid was originally Chunxiu's subordinate. After hearing this, she said: "The prince has already begged and said that he will go out after the Qixi Festival. Auntie..." The little palace lady opened her mouth and said with a smile: "But now You can’t call me aunt anymore, but according to the etiquette, I will call you aunt as Mrs. Hou.”

Zhao Jing smiled and said, "Call me aunt, what's Mrs. Hou's, I don't have to be unfamiliar."

After she finished speaking, she only followed forward again, and just passed a hallway door, when she suddenly heard someone calling herself from behind: "Zhao Jing!"

Zhao Jing stopped in doubt, but happened to see Zhou Yi striding forward from behind her. The man was tall and burly, but he had already reached her side in a few steps. He lowered his head and asked her, "Why don't you take the sedan chair?" ?”

Zhao Jing blessed him, and said in a low voice: "Your lord looks down on the slaves too much, can the slaves not even walk this distance?"

"You're not alone now." Zhou Yi said, glanced ahead and continued: "Forget it, we're almost there, my king will give you a ride."

Although Zhao Jing wanted to refuse, but seeing that he looked upright today, and there was a little maid following him, she nodded in agreement, then raised her head and asked him: "Where is the prince from?"

"Come from the imperial study room. Fu Manduo said that the emperor is sleeping in the middle of a rest, and this king is here." He walked in front with his hands behind his back, but deliberately slowed down a lot. He turned his head slightly to see that he was halfway behind Zhao Jing of the ruler.Her complexion is a little pale, and I heard that women will experience various discomforts after pregnancy, and this is the most delicate time.

Zhou Yi thought of the princess and his unborn child, he frowned tightly, turned around suddenly, stood in front of Zhao Jing and said, "Go home and have a good rest. , You don’t need to go to the queen mother’s side, this king will help you ask for leave.”

"My lord..." Zhao Jing was slightly taken aback, but the man had already waved his palm, and summoned the little eunuchs who were following far behind, and ordered: "Find a sedan chair and send it to Madam Hou." out of the palace."

Zhao Jing felt embarrassed at this time, and said again and again: "My lord, the Yongshou Palace is just ahead, and it's the same for servants to leave after seeing the empress dowager."

Zhou Yi smiled shyly and said, "What is there to see about the queen mother? You have served her in the palace for more than ten years, haven't you seen enough?"

In fact, Zhao Jing had no idea about meeting the empress dowager, but the empress dowager asked her to go, and she had to go. Zhou Yi said so at this time, but she really couldn't answer it.

Zhou Yi stood in front of Zhao Jing, and if she wanted to go through it at this time, she couldn't go through it.

"Go back to the house." Zhou Yi raised his chin and said to Zhao Jing, but there was a bit of unquestionable firmness in his eyes. Zhao Jing looked at the sedan chair that had been carried over not far away, and finally sighed and turned to him Blessed and blessed the body said: "The servant girl will go back to the Marquis Mansion first, and ask the prince to speak in front of the queen mother for the servant girl."

Zhou Yi nodded. The sedan chair had already stopped in front of the two of them. He took a step forward to help Zhao Jing in, but saw that she had already supported the sedan chair by herself and sat down inside.

The sedan chair curtain fell instantly, Zhou Yi turned around and ordered the little eunuch, who winked at the little palace maid and said, "Let's go, my king will go with you to Yongshou Palace."

Empress Dowager Wei leaned on the back of the chair, looking out of the hall with dazed eyes, the teacup in her palm kept making mechanical clicking sounds, and couldn't help but frowned after hearing Liu Qingyan's suppressed sobs.

"Do you think Zhao Jing will definitely agree to your request? What if she refuses to help? She is now the majestic Mrs. Wu'anhou. If she admits her background, wouldn't it expose her identity as the former princess?"

Empress Dowager Wei still had a stern look in her eyes when she thought of this, the teacup in her hand clanged and hit the gold and stone floor in front of her.Liu Qingyan was startled, and just when she didn't know what to do, the curtain outside suddenly flickered, and the little palace maid blessed Queen Mother Wei, and said: "Go back to Queen Mother, the prince is here."

Empress Dowager Wei stood up from the chair, took two steps forward and asked, "He's here, what about Zhao Jing?"
