Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Until the second watch (Haishi) Defang really couldn't sit still, "Your Majesty, it's already the second watch, and I feel a little tired."

"Yes." Zhenzong sighed, "Brother Huang is almost 60 years old, so go back and rest early."

"Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister will go and accept the benefits now."

"Okay, I will go with you." Zhenzong and Defang came to the bedroom, and Empress Liu came out before entering the palace. "Your Majesty, you are back."

"Well, it's getting late, Brother Huang wants to bring Yi Yi back to the mansion, where is Yi Yi?"

"just slept"

"Sleeping?" Defang looked at Empress Liu, "Then...then please let the empress get out of her arms."

"Emperor Brother" Empress Liu said, "The benefit must be because he was too tired from schoolwork, so he fell asleep. If he was carried out, he would be woken up, and it is easy to catch cold when he just wakes up. It is not good if he is sick."

"Yes... but benefiting from being in His Majesty's bedroom may disturb His Majesty and Your Majesty's rest."

Empress Liu supported Zhenzong's arm, "No problem, Your Majesty and this Palace will take good care of you and benefit you, isn't it Your Majesty?"

"Well, yes." Zhenzong looked at Defang, "Brother Huang, why don't you let Yiyi sleep in my bedroom tonight, and Brother Huang will come to pick him up tomorrow."

Defang was a little embarrassed, "This..."

"Brother Huang, it's getting late, go back and rest."

Defang was helpless, sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, that minister will leave."

Defang turned around and frowned slightly, paused for a moment, then walked out of the palace, Jiajun stepped forward, "My lord, it's so late? Where's the little prince?"

"Don't ask, go back to the mansion." Defang sat in the sedan chair and returned to Nanqing Palace. Concubine Di waited for a long time, but did not see Yiyi coming back. After asking, she found out that he was left in the palace, and she couldn't help being very anxious. It was too fast and too sudden, so give us some time anyway."

"Madam, this is definitely not His Majesty's intention." Defang sat on the chair and said, "Today's affairs are all arranged by the queen."

Concubine Di looked at De Fang and frowned, "My lord, why did you promise His Majesty to drink?"

"Ma'am, I don't want to either, but the Queen's words have been said like that, so I can't refuse."

"Hey, it would be better if you were earlier. How can you not be sleepy after drinking until the second watch?"

"Yi Yi will fall asleep even if he is not sleepy."

"My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

"I lighted the incense to help sleep in the bedroom, and benefited such a young child. Of course, if I smell too much, I will feel sleepy."

"How could the Queen do such a thing?"

"Madam, don't forget, who is the biological mother of the beneficiary?"

"Yes..." Concubine Di looked at Defang, "Empress Liu's early maid, Mrs. Li..."

"Yes, if you think about it, now that the Li family has been granted the concubine Chen, and a princess is born, among the six sons and two daughters of Your Majesty, only Concubine Li Chen's son and daughter are alive. For the queen, looking at her maid How does it feel to be a concubine Chen and have a prince and daughter?"

"No matter how you feel, you can't hurt the child. Concubine Li Chen is already very pitiful. She can't recognize her parents and children, and she can't even meet her. She will benefit from entering the palace in the future. She is not the queen's child. Why should she be in a hurry."

"It's been eight years. Anyone who is involved in this matter, who is not in a hurry? Even you and I, the father, queen, and queen who are by Yiyi's side every day are always worried." Defang sighed, "People say that mothers are more expensive than children, but Concubine Li Chen... Hey, Empress Liu is eager to benefit from entering the palace now, and it is also to use him to stabilize her post, and she was the one who advised His Majesty when she sent benefit to Nanqing Palace."
