Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Weixian and Mr. Nangong said they would also take a rest, so the husband asked him to test his sentences. He answered all the questions correctly, and the husband agreed to let him rest. He was going to come here with my younger brother, but my younger brother said that there are still a few sentences left to finish, so my son I didn’t come here until my younger brother finished writing.”

Defang nodded, "Xu'er really deserves to be a big brother, be good" and then touched Wei Neng's face and hugged him to sit on his lap, "Nenger is also good, if you are tired, tell Mr. Nangong or brother that it's okay to take a rest. "

"Well, the child is not tired." Wei Neng nodded and said

"My lord," Concubine Di said, "The children are grown up, why not choose a few servants to follow them, take care of their daily life, and keep their schoolwork by their side."

"Aren't there servants and maids to take care of them every day?"

"The concubine wants to choose a few regular servants, just like Baili serving you, follow them every day, talk with them on weekdays, and take care of them more carefully."

Defang thought for a while, "Madam's words are also reasonable, but... the little servant's words... are also children as old as them. When Baili followed me, he was only nine years old. He took care of food and clothing every day, and had to keep watch at night. , too hard."

"Then choose an older servant, 14 years old."

"There's too much age difference, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get along, and I don't have to worry about taking care of Xu'er and Neng'er, but Xian'er... this kid is too naughty, if he doesn't care about it, he will cause trouble, let Bozhong Bobang first These children follow Xu'er, Xian'er and Neng'er, and I will ask Baili to choose people in daily life."

"My lord's heart is kind. I'm afraid that if Baili chooses the servants, you won't be able to bear them doing too many things."

Defang sighed and nodded, "Ma'am, it's better for the little servant girl, after all, she is a girl, so she should do what she can, but the servants are different, as soon as they entered the palace, they suffered the unbearable castration punishment of ordinary people. The children all died in the pain after being sentenced, and it is not easy to survive. Working in the palace is suffering, and people will laugh at them when they go out of the palace. There are few loved ones in their lives, and they cannot have their own children. Thinking of these things , I can't bear it."

"My lord, there is no way around this. It has been the case in all dynasties, but if they are allowed to enter the palace, at least they can live a better life. What do you think?"

"According to what Madam said, it really makes sense. Since they can't change their identities as servants, but at least they can not suffer so much, then please Madam, I will let Baili go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose three small servants to take care of them." Come to the palace."

Concubine Di looked around, "My lord, where are the Baili people?"

"I'm a bit tired, so I asked him to make a bed in the side room, and I'll lie down in a while, and I have to enter the palace in the afternoon."

"Then go back to the dormitory and lie down, and the concubine will call you again during mealtime."

"No need, I'm not hungry, but I'm sleepy. Madam also needs to rest after lunch. I'll just rest in the side room. Madam can take the children to use."

Defang put down Wei Neng and Wei Ling, "Ma'am, you may be back at night, don't wait for me, go to bed early when it's late."

"That's how much you need to use. The concubine asked the dining room to save the meals, and eat some when you wake up."

Defang smiled and nodded, "Okay, just listen to Madam."

Defang walked to the side room in the inner courtyard, and Baili waited for him to lie down and put on the quilt. He walked to the door, stretched himself, and yawned a lot. Because it was winter, Baili breathed out a ball from his mouth. Baili looked at the slowly dissipating white and smiled, squeezed his hands into his sleeves, sat on the crossbar next to the pillar and looked up at the sky.
