The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 383 Making Tea (1)
Zhao Jing went to the imperial study in a small sedan chair, and the journey was not far at all.Zhao Jing held the curtain and glanced at the winding palace road, thinking about what happened in those ten years, she walked back and forth on this trail almost every day.If the Empress Dowager had known her identity at that time, she would have died many times now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing was still a little bit worried. If her life experience was made public one day, the one who would be most saddened would be the little emperor Zhou Xu.He is really kind to himself, but who knows that he is actually the princess of the previous dynasty.Once thinking of these things, Zhao Jing couldn't help but sigh a little.

The Emperor's Imperial Study Room is not something that people can enter casually. Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui couldn't enter without a summons.Simply put, the tea room next to the imperial dining room was full of young maids who had been with Zhao Jing in the past, so Zhao Jing asked the two of them to sit here for a while, and she went in to chat with the emperor casually, and came out after a while.

The Yongshou Palace had already greeted them when they left, so they don't need to go there in a while, just leave the palace directly.

Zhao Jing entered the imperial study room, there were two worlds inside and outside, although it was almost autumn outside, it was still hot and sweaty.The little emperor was very casual in the imperial study room, he had already taken off his bright yellow brocade dragon robe, and was only wearing a yellow tunic with a belt in the middle, he looked a bit cosy and lazy.

His appearance was common to Zhao Jing, but now that the emperor was about to take over the government, it would not be good to be so unrestrained.

"Why did the emperor take off his robe? If the prince sees him, I'm afraid he will have to talk about it again. They say that generals don't take off their armor during the dog days. Is the emperor's dragon robe harder to wear than the armor of those soldiers?" Zhao said. Jing jokingly turned around and took off the dragon robe hanging on the hanger, as if to change Zhou Xu's clothes.

Zhou Xu frowned and said, "Auntie, just take a rest, I just came back, and my body is hot!"

After Zhao Jing heard this, she stopped her movements, thought for a while and then laughed: "Why is the emperor still so diligent today? There are so many girls from the minister's family. The emperor should stay in Yongshou Palace for a while. Girls If you even paint poems and paintings, won’t the emperor not see it?”

"What's so good about those girls' things? Could it be that they can be great when they know a poem? They are all ladies, so it's natural for them to know a few poems?" Zhou Xu didn't take this seriously, but the eyebrows became more and more Tighten it a little bit, seeing that Zhao Jing didn't say anything, then said slowly: "Auntie, I don't like granddaughters of Kang Taifu's family, what are you doing with a straight face all day long, I just ate them Home rice?"

Zhao Jing laughed when she heard these inconsequential words, and couldn't help but shook her head and said: "Look at what the emperor said, Mrs. Kang received the imperial salary, so the logic is that she has eaten the emperor's rice grains. She is so dignified and virtuous, the empress dowager I like her very much, and she will be your queen in the future."

"Instead of setting her up, it would be better to set up Cousin Lu's family. It's a pity that Concubine Lu was convicted of a crime that year, so I made her princess. If she is set up again, I'm afraid the officials will not accept it."

Zhao Jing was shocked when she heard the words. When she entered the palace last time, she saw the difference between Zhou Xu and Lu Xinyue. She didn't expect that after more than half a month, Zhou Xu already wanted to set her up. What are you thinking about later?

"Does the emperor like Princess Lu?" Zhao Jing raised her head and asked Zhou Xu uncertainly.

Zhou Xu didn't care much, and just said casually: "I can't tell if I like it. I always feel that my cousin looks very comfortable, just like my aunt. She doesn't talk much, but she always considers me."

"So it's like this..." Zhao Jing sighed faintly, in Zhao Jing's heart, this Lu Xinyue was not like this, but how to tell the emperor clearly, Zhao Jing had to think of a way.That girl is very scheming, how can Zhou Xu be her opponent.

The imperial study room was quiet at this moment, and the teacup next to the emperor's dragon case was already empty.Zhao Jing stood up and covered the tureen. Seeing that there was no little maid waiting outside, she smiled and said: "The emperor sit down for a while, and my maidservant will make a cup of tea for the emperor." It happened that Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui Still sitting in the tea room, it's good to go and see the two of them.

Seeing that Zhao Jing was busy, Zhou Xu only stopped in front of her. It was cool in the imperial study room, but outside the door, the weather outside was so hot that the soles of her feet would burn.

"Auntie put down the teacup. Auntie has brewed tea for me for so many years. I haven't drunk the tea I made. Today I will make a cup of tea for Auntie."

After Zhao Jing heard this, she couldn't help asking curiously: "The emperor himself can make tea? The slaves really don't know."

"Uncle Huang said that this tea needs to be brewed by oneself, and it is interesting to drink it. I asked Fu Manduo to find an old boxwood root outside a while ago, did my aunt see it?"
