Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Hey, the words of the emperor's nephew are different. You are the son of the late emperor, and family affairs are important matters of the royal family, let alone the blood of descendants. I just want you to consider this matter today. As for whether you want to take the concubine, you'd better discuss it with your concubine. Let me know, and you will give me an answer in a few days."

"I... don't want my wife to know about this..."

"But she will know sooner or later that my nephew's health has improved. You can discuss it with her in the next few days. If my nephew agrees, I will help you find a candidate."

"But Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, you can go back to the house quickly, my concubine and the children are still waiting for you, don't forget the celebration banquet tonight."

Defang looked embarrassed, Taizong knew that he didn't want to take the concubine anymore, so he must be anxious at this moment, so he didn't look at him, seeing Taizong drinking tea and no longer talking, so he had to hand in his hand, "Minister...resign..."

Defang withdrew from the Chongzheng Palace, and left the palace with a sad face. Jia Jun and Baili who were waiting at the gate of the palace greeted him, "My lord, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Defang shook his head, and Baili took Defang's golden mace, "My lord, what did your majesty tell you? Why do you look so sad?"

Defang sighed, "Your Majesty wants the king to accept the concubine again..."

Baili and Jiajun looked at each other, "My lord, then...that empress will know about her infertility."

"Your Majesty wants the king to go back and discuss this matter with his wife..." Defang looked at Baili and Jiajun, "I know my wife best, and if I accept a concubine, my wife will definitely agree, but I don't want to hurt my wife, let alone I don't want her to know that I can't bear children, this king doesn't want to accept any concubine at all, but... how will this king talk to his wife when he goes back, and how will he reply to His Majesty after a few days..."

"My lord..." Baili supported Defang, "Let's go back to the mansion first, there will always be a way."

"A solution..." Defang shook her head, "There is no other way for Madam's infertility, and now His Majesty has let the king accept the family because of this... What should I do... Do you want Madam to watch sadly because of her infertility?" Will this king accept the concubine again? This king can't do this... In this life, this king has only one princess, and he will never leave her, let alone hurt her. Madam, in order for this king to have a child like Ling'er, with her own It is because of this that the body is damaged and unable to reproduce..."

"My lord, you have to take care." Jia Jun stepped forward and said, "Your mother must be worried when you go back to the mansion like this, and now that something has happened, worrying about it won't help. Why don't you go back to the mansion first, and maybe you can think of something to do when you calm down."

Defang nodded, got on the sedan chair and returned to the mansion. Concubine Di greeted Defang in the main hall when she came back. Defang hurriedly helped Concubine Di, "Ma'am, sit down."

"My lord, my concubine has just brought the children back from the garden. I heard that His Majesty summoned you after the next court. Do you have something important to explain?"

"It's nothing important. Your Majesty said that General Pan Mei has returned to Beijing, and there will be a banquet to celebrate his achievements tonight, so I should also attend."

"Then the prince must have returned very late again."

"I will come back earlier to accompany Madam, but if it is really late, Madam must not wait for me, and go to bed earlier."

"Yes, the concubine remembers." Concubine Di smiled, "My lord, lunch will be ready in a while, please have some tea first."

"Ma'am, sit down first." Defang helped Concubine Di to sit down. "Your body is recovering better. Don't always try to be brave. If you are tired, ask the servants to take the children to play."
