Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Where is the prince going? The subordinates are going to prepare the sedan chair."

"No need, I'm going to change clothes, just pretend to go out, and I'll be back in a while." Defang picked up Weiling and went back to the dormitory. After Defang changed her clothes, she also changed Weiling's clothes. Weiling asked, "Father?" , why change clothes?"

Defang nodded Weiling's nose and smiled, "Father will take you to Changqinglou to eat mutton."

Defang led Weiling, took Jiajun and two guards out of the mansion through the side door, Weiling looked very happy, looked around, Defang came to Changqinglou, a famous restaurant in central Beijing, and bought goat boiled lamb and ribs Chi Yang was going to bring it back, but Wei Ling ate a lot of snacks in the market, and her stomach was full. Defang hugged Wei Ling and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious! Father, can you come out again in the future?"

"Of course, as long as the little princess wants to eat, the father will definitely bring you here." Defang kissed Weiling

A few people walked out of the Changqing Building and were about to return to the mansion. When they walked to a place where there were fewer people, they suddenly saw a luxurious carriage in front of them. There were many servants beside them. They were very ostentatious. ?But when she saw the person in the car again, Defang recognized him immediately. This person was Hou Mochen's current envoy of the regiment. Defang couldn't help frowning and said to Jiajun, "How dare this person take advantage of the situation?" Yu, adorned with gold ornaments, swaggering through the market"

"My lord, who is this person?" Jia Jun asked

"This man's surname is Hou Mochen, and his first name is Utilization. He was originally a juggler selling medicine in Beijing, but I heard that he knows some illusions and understands yellow and white. These things, he actually went to the regiment to train envoys, I have seen this person in the palace, I can't imagine that he is so ostentatious outside." De Fang shook his head

"Do you want to notify the officials?" Jia Jun asked

"Forget it, these people rely on His Majesty's favor, most of them are like this, as long as they don't cause trouble, I don't bother to care about them." De Fang patted Wei Ling, "Let's go back quickly, or your mother will be angry."

After walking a few steps, I heard someone yelling in front of me. I turned my head and saw that Hou Mochen's servant was beating someone, "Dare to block the way! I don't want to live!"

"It's too much!" Jia Jun was very angry when he saw this, "My lord, why don't you go over and teach him a lesson!"

Defang thought for a while, "Chen Lili is currently being favored, and I am afraid that no one will dare to take care of him if he sues the officials."

"Then what shall we do?"

"If you want to get rid of the traitor, you must have sufficient evidence of crimes. You can knock him down once, and you can't let him have any room to breathe. Otherwise, if you want to touch him again, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."

"What does the lord mean?" Jia Jun asked

"Wait for the king to send someone to investigate this person, and then see how to deal with it."

A few people returned to the palace, and Baili ran over, "My lord, where are you going? Your empress is in a hurry."

"Understood, go tell your empress, the king will go to the dining hall right away." Defang hugged Weiling and changed her clothes, and asked the guards to bring the bought mutton to the dining hall. Concubine Di was unhappy, "My lord, are you going again?" Where did it go? I brought Weiling with me, and I didn’t tell the mansion.”

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Defang walked over with a smile, "Don't be mad, madam, I bought some food and came back to apologize to madam."

"What food?" Di Fei asked

Defang motioned to the guards, who put the mutton back on the table. Defang said, "This is Madam's favorite food. I bought goat boiled mutton and lamb chops made by Changqinglou, and I bought them for Madam to warm up."

Concubine Di looked at the mutton and said, "My lord, let the servants do this kind of thing. Why did you run out by yourself? What if there is something wrong?"

"No, the capital is safe and sound, how can something happen?" Defang sat down and picked up the chopsticks, "Come on, ma'am, have a taste."

Concubine Di ate a piece, "Well, it's really delicious. The meat is still so tender and juicy, without any mutton smell."

"As long as Madam likes it, I will buy it for Madam next time"

"No." Concubine Di put down her chopsticks, approached Defang and said softly, "Next time, the concubine will go with the prince."

Hearing this, Defang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will follow Madam's order."

Several children looked at Defang and Concubine Di and asked, "Father, we are hungry."

Defang smiled, "Oh, it's my father's fault. Come on, my father will give you something to eat."
