Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Five days later, Defang assigned the seventeen officials who had been transferred to Beijing to various ministries. They had a leisurely day and drank tea with Concubine Di in the pavilion by the lake. "Ma'am, it's getting hotter and hotter today."

"That's right, Cai'er is about to give birth. It's not easy to take care of the baby in such a hot day."

Defang smiled, "Ma'am, you say this all the year round, the grandchildren are all well, don't worry so much all the time, there are so many people taking care of them, it's okay."

"This is giving birth to a child, it's not a trivial matter." Concubine Di said, "Xian'er's concubine is in good health, but she can't sit still all day long."

"Ma'am, I heard that she often makes clothes by herself, it's a waste of eyes, besides, why do you make so many clothes, isn't there a sewing room and embroidery workers in the mansion."

"My lord doesn't know that Cai'er was made for Wei Xian. Xian'er practiced knives and archery all day long, and when he came back he was covered in sweat, and his inner white shirt was often changed, so Cai'er made a few more for him. pieces."

"That's really thoughtful, ma'am. Speaking of which, Xian'er is a very blessed child. The four concubines take good care of him. Not only are they respectful and polite to Jiaotong, but they also take good care of the four grandchildren. "

"Yeah, grandchildren are also one after another, hehehe"

"Hmph, I think he only has the ability to give birth to children. He takes care of himself all day long, and never knows how to spend more time with children."

"My lord," Concubine Di pouted, "Xian'er gave us four grandchildren, and now the fifth child is about to be born. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have so many grandchildren."

"Yes, there are almost five children, but he doesn't look like a father. When I was his age, I wished I could stay in the mansion with my wife and children every day."

"It's enough for us to take care of our grandson in the mansion, don't you worry about Xian'er?"

"This heart is enlarged. The child is so young, and it is the time when the parents need to love it." Defang sighed, "Don't be like me, wait until the child grows up to make up for the debt to them."

Concubine Di stretched out her hand and shook Defang's hand, "My lord, you are different from Xian'er, it's not that you don't want to stay with the child in the mansion, there is really nothing you can do."

Defang looked at Concubine Di, "Ma'am, am I really being too strict with Xian'er?"

"Some, but this concubine knows that you are doing it for his own good."

"It would be great if he was as calm as Xu'er and Neng'er."

"Yes, take your time." Concubine Di smiled, "By the way, Xian'er came back too late recently, and he can't even eat well. I'm afraid he's exhausted."

"It's okay, you're young. Besides, he's a person who can't be idle. This time, he's in charge of the emperor, and he has a heavy responsibility. He should be happy to walk around more. He's not tired."

"But these few nights, my concubines have seen him look a little bit bad."

"Oh? Sick?"

"No, I seem to have something on my mind."

Defang smiled, "I see, ma'am, don't worry, it's fine."

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"Don't ask, ma'am." Defang took a sip of tea, "By the way, ma'am, do you know that you always go to the pharmacy recently?"

"Pharmacy? Have you been sick since ancient times?"

"No, but he runs to the pharmacy after every class and stays there for a long time."

"Why is that?"

"I heard from the national players that they seem to like looking at those medicinal materials since ancient times, and they always ask the national players what this is and what it is."

"Isn't it possible to like medicine from ancient times?"

"It's possible." Defang nodded, "I'll ask the national players to watch him more, and don't let him stay in the pharmacy for too long. The smell of medicine is not good for children."
