Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Concubine Di smiled and said, "Then owe it, go tomorrow."

"Okay." Defang nodded, "Baili, hurry up and help your empress prepare the sedan chair."

"My lord," Zhou Huaizheng said, "The sedan chair has already been prepared, and the empress said that she will take good care of her, so don't worry about it."

"The empress is really considerate." Defang said, "Why would the madam worry about entering the palace alone, hehehe"

"My lord, the concubine has just entered the palace."

Defang nodded. After sending Concubine Di away, Defang felt bored admiring flowers by herself, so she went to see her uncle Song Yuanhan. Concubine Di entered the palace and was brought by Zhou Huaizheng to Gong Yuyuan. At this time, the queen was already sitting there. While waiting, Concubine Di stepped forward to salute, "See empress empress."

"Sister-in-law Huang doesn't need to be too polite, please sit down."

"Thank you, empress." Concubine Di took her seat, "My lady, how are you doing?"

"Everything is fine." The empress signaled the left and right to retreat, and let Ke'er exit the pavilion, and then said, "Sister-in-law, I have invited you into the palace today, and I actually have something to tell you."

Concubine Di looked at the queen and asked, "Empress, is it related to the prince?"

The queen was stunned when she heard this, "Sister-in-law, how did you know that it was related to the prince?"

"Empress, usually the maids or servants of the empress's palace will come to the Nanqing Palace to invite your concubines to the palace, but today it is indeed invited by Duke Zhou, and there is also a sedan chair, and the concubines are in the sedan chair. There may be something, but what can the concubine have for the queen to summon alone, so this matter must be related to the prince, but Zhou Gonggong invited the concubine to the palace to drink tea with the empress, the concubine guessed, this It should be something that the prince should not know about."

At this time, a person came and said, "Sister-in-law Huang is really amazing, no wonder brother Huang always said that it is a lifetime blessing to have sister-in-law Huang as the concubine."

Concubine Di quickly stood up and saluted, "The concubine sees Your Majesty."

"Sister-in-law is free, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty" the three sat down. Concubine Di knew that what she wanted to say was related to Defang, and she couldn't let him know that it must be a big deal, so she was a little anxious, so she asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to the prince? What happened?" It will make His Majesty and Empress so cautiously summon the concubines alone."

Shinzong said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's not a big deal, but it's not a small thing either."

"Your Majesty, could it be. Did the prince do something wrong?"

"Brother Huang is a veteran of the three dynasties, an important minister of the family and country, he is cautious in his words and deeds, how could he make mistakes, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will tell you slowly."

"Your Majesty, can you tell the concubine first, will this matter hurt the prince?"

"This. How should I put it? Whether it will affect the emperor's brother depends on how the emperor's wife decides."

"The concubine's decision? Your majesty, the concubine did not understand what your majesty meant."

"Sister-in-law, this matter is not only related to brother Huang, but also related to Princess Xingping."

"Princess Xingping? Your Majesty, could it be that the county horse injured her the day before yesterday? However, your Majesty, have you demoted Cao Jue as punishment?"

"Yes, but it seems that I will demote Cao Jue again."

"Demotion?" Concubine Di was puzzled, "Then. Could it be that Princess Xingping wrote to His Majesty? But how could the prince not know?"

"You must let the ministers know about Cao Jue's demotion, and let Princess Xingping suffer some grievances, but there is one more thing, I didn't intend to say it, but if I don't say it, I'm afraid there will be more troubles , but I really don’t want Brother Wang to know about this matter, so today I invite the Emperor’s Wife in the name of the Empress, hoping that the Emperor’s Wife can help the Emperor to share the matter.”
