Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

After the morning court the next day, Cao Jue hurried to Zongzheng Temple. The Minister of Zongzheng Temple immediately reported the matter to Zhenzong. Zhenzong personally summoned Cao Jue to ask what happened. The deputy envoy was demoted to envoy from Qipin Neiyuan, and it was said that Cao Jue was an official with poor performance and neglect of duty. The imperial court originally wanted to dismiss him for investigation.

Cao Jue got the letter from the Ministry of Officials, and ran back to the Nanqing Palace without even sitting in the sedan chair. Defang and Concubine Di were taking care of Princess Xingping in the courtyard. Cao Jue ran into the house and saw Defang and Concubine Di He hurriedly knelt down, "Kowtow to the Queen Mother! My son. My son went to Zongzheng Temple. Here. This is a letter from the Ministry of Officials."

Baili handed the letter to Defang, and Defang looked at it, "Neiyuan envoy, there is nothing to do, and I can take good care of Junzhu and Quan'er in the future."

"Yes, father, I must take good care of Junzhu and Quan'er."

Defang looked at Cao Jue, "Why are you sweating profusely?"

"My son was afraid that my father would be in a hurry, so I ran back."

Hearing this, Defang smiled and sighed, "You are a county horse after all. If you just ran back to Nanqing Palace on the street, if you don't know, you might think that something is wrong with the palace. Get up quickly."

"Yes, yes, my son is wrong, thank you father." Cao Jue stood up and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. "Father, mother, my son is here to take care of Junzhu. You two should go and have a rest."

"You? Are you the only one who can take care of people?" Defang glanced at Cao Jue, and the princess of Xingping Lala Defang's sleeve, "Father, let the county horse take care of the children. You and the queen mother have a rest."

"Junzhu, can he take care of you?"

"Father, don't worry, there is still Cong'er, and you sent several maidservants here, and my son is fine."

Concubine Di nodded, "My lord, we have been here all morning, and several children have come to greet you. You see, Junzhu can't lie down and rest well. Let the county horse accompany her to talk. Let's go for a walk. "

Defang looked at Junzhu, "Okay, Junzhu, take a good rest, tell the national player if you feel unwell, and take a nap after lunch, don't be too tired, your arm needs a lot of rest, so that you can recover quickly , By the way, Quan'er is playing with Cong Pu, don't worry."

"Thank you, father." Jun Zhu nodded.

Defang and Concubine Di left the side courtyard after a few instructions. For several days, Cao Jue stayed with Princess Xingping and Quan'er, and never messed around with his old friends. Seeing this, Defang and Concubine Di were not at ease. Young, Defang and Concubine Di enjoyed flowers and tea in the garden, "Madam, do you think Cao Jue will reform himself like uncle?"

"Why not? Cao Jue isn't bad in nature, but he just messed around a bit. Now that he knows he's wrong, it will be fine if he can live in peace and order in the future."

"I hope so." Defang nodded, "Ma'am, the weather is nice today, why don't we go for a walk?"

"Okay." Concubine Di was very happy, "Go to Yujie to have a look, and then go to Changqing Building for some food and snacks."

"Let's go." Just as De Fang and Concubine Di stood up, Jia Jun walked over with a person. "My lord, empress, the Duke Zhou from the palace is here."

Defang looked at Zhou Huaizheng, "Duke Zhou, did your majesty call the lonely king into the palace?"

"Going back to the lord, it's not His Majesty who summoned the lord, it's the empress who invited the concubine into the palace for tea."

Defang looked at Concubine Di, "It turns out that the queen invited the lady, alas, it seems that she can't get out."
