Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked back, was startled, and hurriedly paid homage, "Your Majesty!" Taizong supported Defang, walked to Yuanzuo's bedside, and looked at Yuanzuo, "You are sick and very serious. You are talking nonsense like that. How decent is it, come here!"

The servant hurriedly stepped forward, "Here!"

"Doctor Huan, please take care of Yuanzuo immediately." Taizong looked at the servant and helped Yuanzuo to sleep, and then called Defang to come outside the house. "Nephew, I am very pleased that you came to visit Yuanzuo." Taizong said

"Yuan Zuo is a close relative of the same generation of the minister, and now he is sick, the minister should come to visit," Defang said

Taizong patted Defang on the shoulder, "Nephew Defang, I am very pleased to see you" nodded, said nothing, turned and left Chu Palace, and returned to the palace.

Defang stood where he was, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He didn't know when Taizong came behind him, what he saw and heard, Defang recalled what he had done and said from the moment he entered the door, thinking about whether there was something inappropriate I don't think it's a bit dazed, at this time Jia Jun looked carefully, walked over and called "Your Highness"

Defang came back to her senses, looked at Jiajun, and sighed, "Let's go back." Defang turned around and explained to the people in Chu Palace, and returned to Nanqing Palace with Jiajun.

Back at the mansion, Defang saw Concubine Di waiting at the door. Since the news of Wang Shu Tingmei's death, Defang was depressed for a while. She was very worried that Defang would anger Emperor Taizong because of this, so these days Waiting at the door for Defang to return from court, Defang stepped forward, "Ma'am, why are you here again? Come in, don't hurt yourself"

"Why did you come back so late today?" Concubine Di asked anxiously

"I went to visit Yuanzuo, it seems that he is seriously ill." Defang shook her head

Concubine Di sighed, "You are still caring about others, I am very worried that someday you will..."

Defang held Concubine Di's hand and looked into her eyes and said, "Madam, don't think about it, nothing will happen, I still have to take care of you and the children."

Defang helped Concubine Di into the room, and at this time the three little princes also ran in. The eldest son, Weixu, was eight years old at the time and was entrusted with the imperial city envoy, Weixian was entrusted with the inner palace at six years old, and only four years old was enshrined in the East. As soon as the three little guys entered the door, they hugged Defang's legs and asked Defang to play with them. Defang picked up Wei Neng, touched Wei Xian and Wei Xu's little heads, and said with a smile, "I want you to be a father." What will Wang play with you?"

Weixian said "archery, archery, archery" three times in a row

Defang looked at Weixian, "Our little Xianer likes archery so much? What about Weixu and Nenger?" Weixu and Xiao Weineng both nodded honestly, and Defang smiled, "Okay! Father, I will take you now." Go, madam, come together." So she took the three children to the martial arts training ground in the mansion, and ordered someone to present a bow and arrow. This bow and arrow is a bit small and very light. The child said, "This bow was specially made by Taizu when my father was a child. At that time, Taizu would often teach my father how to practice martial arts and swords. Today, my father gave this bow to the three of you and often supervised your writing. Practice martial arts, and when you grow up, you will become the minister of my Song Dynasty."

The three little princes nodded. Defang thought about the scene when the emperor Taizu taught him, and taught the three little princes hand in hand. They learned well. Di Fei beside him smiled. It is rare for the palace to have such a warm scene.

Since Tingmei's death, there have been some gossip and gossip, most of which are not good for Taizong, so Taizong was very troubled. It happened that one day, Rongxi, the deputy head of the internal servants, went out to the palace on business and made a special imperial dagger from the most famous craftsman's shop in Kaifeng. , more than a dozen generations of this artisan shop have made a living here, and the characteristic is to design a unique mechanism in the knife to make the dagger compact and practical. At this time, Rong Xi put the box containing the dagger on the sedan chair and prepared to take it back to the palace artisan. It was gold-plated and inlaid with precious stones and carved with dragon patterns. Four people carried it through the downtown street, making passers-by avoid it.
