king of ros

Chapter 180
Over the years, the appearance of Rostislav's palace has not changed much, and it still maintains its previous appearance.

However, next to this building, several brick and tile buildings were expanded in succession, serving as servant rooms, warehouses and so on. They were all built around the garden built by the Moscow princes, and there is already a slight taste of palace complexes here.

Rostislav is currently planning to build a guest room to accommodate visiting guests. The famous prince has to prepare rooms and meals for visiting guests at all times.

According to convention, people call Rostislav's palace Rostislav Palace.

The prince of Moscow had no objection to this either. He had never thought about what the name of the palace should be. Over time, he simply let it go. Now that everyone has proposed the Rostislav Palace, then the Rostislav Palace should be the Rostislav Palace.

Rostislav is now shuttled around the palace with ease. Although the outside has not changed much, the inside has changed a lot.

Now there are several exquisite landscape paintings on the walls of the corridor he walked by. These landscape paintings were made by painters invited by the prince from the imperial capital, and all of them depict the scenes of Moscow and its surrounding areas. This is the achievement of the prince of Moscow. reflect.

It's a pity that the painter is not good at painting landscapes, but he is good at painting portraits, but this is still good to see, at least not the kind of medieval abstract painting that the Moscow princes remembered.

And under those paintings are all kinds of ornamental vegetation in flower pots, as well as weapons and armor placed on the war stand. All the armor exists here.

There are always servants cleaning the armor carefully here, and when they see the prince coming, they bow subconsciously, and the prince waved his hand to signal to continue working.

Soon, Rostislav arrived at his destination, and the prince stood in front of the room with a smile on his face, because behind the wooden door were his wife and children.

Opening the wooden door, what Rostislav saw was his son in a white robe, sitting on the ground playing with wooden toys. They were vividly carved brown bears and warriors, and they were also painted with colors.

It was the work of the masters of the carpenter's guild, a gift from them to little Rurik.

The guild masters have always been humble to the princes of Moscow. They know who gave them power, so the actions to curry favor with Rostislav have never stopped. These small gifts are just a small manifestation of this.

The five-year-old little Rurik was very cute. When he saw his father coming, he put down his toys and walked to his father. He waved his little hand at Rostislav with an excited look on his face.

"dad."

The little boy looked at his father with his blue eyes, his voice was immature and sweet, and he was full of dependence on his father.

And Rostislav immediately picked up his son, and rubbed his big rough face against his son's small face very affectionately. His beard was tied so that his son kept complaining. He didn't like his father's behavior very much. But there is nothing to do.

"Rurik, where is your mother?"

Rostislav looked around the room, but there was no sign of his wife, but the son just pointed to the balcony with his little finger.

Holding his son in his arms, the Prince of Moscow walked to the balcony, where he saw Zoe reading a book in the sun.

Five years later, the Princess of the Imperial Capital has fully grown. If Zoe five years ago was still a young girl, then she is now a charming young woman.

Under the sunlight, Zoe's smooth black hair looked so beautiful, and Rostislav couldn't help being fascinated by that figure.

"Homer's Epic? You are actually reading this book, haven't you read it many times?"

Put the son on the ground, pull a chair and sit in front of his wife, there are many parchment books on the table, and the prince just glanced at him to see what his wife was reading.

Although the book is in Greek, Rostislav has already mastered Greek like his mother tongue, so there is no problem in reading it

"It's just to pass the time. After all, you didn't let me do anything after I became pregnant last week, and I can finish reviewing your manuscripts in a short time. I can't just turn over these big tomes."

There was a bit of resentment in Zoe's tone. Since Iben confirmed that the prince's wife was pregnant again, she was relieved of all work to assist the prince of Moscow in handling government affairs. She could only take care of the child and take care of her body, and help her husband correct some documents.

"Pregnancy is something that needs to be taken seriously, Zoe, there are not many reliable doctors in Moscow, and Iben is not an expert in women's affairs. We must try our best to avoid the possibility of accidents."

Rostislav's words were very serious. The prince of Moscow knew that medical skills were unreliable in this era. In such a big Northeast Russia, the only reliable doctor was Ibn Hay, a Persian, his students, and young Part herbalist.

Therefore, he is strict in dealing with his wife's conception, avoiding all possible problems.

Zooey also knew her husband's worries, and knew that all of this was for her own good, so she didn't say much, just shook her head.

And just when the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, little Rurik walked up to his mother and asked her to hug her.

Zoe, who has always been full of motherhood, naturally picked up her son, and then rubbed her face against his son's small face like his husband. This time, the son didn't complain. Not as prickly a beard as my father's, and quite happy.

"Hey, kid, I didn't even hug him so obediently just now, it would be like this if it were Mom."

Seeing his son's happy expression, the prince of Moscow was a little angry. The boy had completely different attitudes towards him and his mother.

"Touch your rough face, how could little Rurik not complain."

And Zooey rubbed her son's face in a showy manner, her love was beyond words.

And Rostislav felt that he seemed to be implicated by his wife, but he just laughed it off.

The entry of the son made the embarrassment between the two of them disappear, and they started to tease the son together.

This is also a moment of warmth for the family every day. Rostislav spends a few hours every day cultivating feelings with his wife and children.

"By the way, Adam is going to be baptized today, why don't you go and see it?"

While playing around, Zooey suddenly remembered something and said to her husband.

That kid Adam Dulu is now 17 years old, and on the day he turned 17, he made the decision to convert to Christ, and the day of baptism is today.

The relationship between the princes of Moscow and this young man is very good, mainly because of the fact that Adam was only 12 years old when he came to Northeast Ross, but he was already very beautiful and cute. According to his wife, many girls are not so cute, but This beauty aroused his wife's motherhood, so she took good care of him, just like taking care of her younger brother.

As a result of taking care of him, Adam and Zoe were very friendly, and even became close to Rostislav. However, this kid never forgot his embarrassing identity, so he never asked for anything based on this relationship. It is low-key and cautious.

"Of course I'm going, and you're going too. This is originally on the agenda. Of course we get something as big as baptism."

Rostislav said.
