Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

德芳30岁 王妃31岁 长子13 次子11幼子9-女儿7

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In mid-July of the second year of Duangong, Si Tianjian reported to Taizong that an unknown meteor (comet) appeared in the north. The appearance of a comet has always been regarded as a warning from heaven to the emperor. Reduced daily meals, and later Si Tianjian said that the area corresponding to the appearance of the comet was Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom. This is the bewitching speech of the treacherous minister, which is not credible, and Taizong readily accepts it.

In Nanqing Palace, Baili came to the main hall with the soup pot in his arms, "My lord, everything is ready."

"Okay." Defang turned her head and said, "Ma'am, I'm going to visit my mother and I'll be back soon."

"En." Concubine Di stood up and walked to Defang to look at the wound on his neck. "I'm afraid the queen mother will be worried again when she sees it."

"Yes, but I won't let my mother see the injury, and my mother won't worry too much when she sees that I'm fine."

"My lord, please send concubine greetings to the queen mother."

"Okay." Defang nodded, and took Baili and Jiajun to the East Palace. At this time, Qiao Chu, the personal servant of Empress Song, was standing there in front of the gate of the East Palace. When she saw Defang's sedan chair team approaching, she hurriedly greeted her, "My lord, The little one kowtowed to the prince."

Defang got off the sedan chair, "Mr. Qiao, why are you here?"

"Returning to the prince, the empress is very anxious when she learns that something happened to you. She heard that you returned to the mansion the day before yesterday, so she sent a little guard here to wait for you."

"Then go in quickly." Defang came to Queen Song's room and kowtowed, "My son kowtowed to the queen mother."

"Defang, get up quickly"

Defang stood up and kowtowed again, "My son, on behalf of his wife, greets the queen mother."

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Empress Song helped Defang up, "How are you, Defang? Is there anything wrong?"

"Mother, sit down." Defang helped Empress Song to sit down. "Everything is fine, and the queen is worried. My son apologizes."

"It's fine, Defang, I heard that you were injured, where is the injury?"

"Mother, it's just a small injury on the flesh, it's all healed, look" Defang turned around and moved her legs and feet

"The children are all fine."

Empress Song looked up and down, "It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, sit down."

"Thank you mother" Defang sat down, Baili brought the soup pot, and Defang picked up a bowl, "Mother, this is the soup made by my wife. The national team has added a few herbs. It is good for your health. You can drink it while it is hot."

"Ming Zhi has a heart, you are always so filial, the queen mother is really pleased."

"Mother, this is the filial piety one should do for one's children."

Empress Song nodded and drank the soup. Defang looked around the room and couldn't help frowning, "Mr. Qiao, I remember that there were a few ancient artifacts in my mother's back room when I came last time. Why are they gone?"

"This..." Qiao Chu looked distressed, and Empress Song said, "It's because the empress mother doesn't like it very much, so I asked him to take it to another place."

Defang looked at Empress Song and then at Qiao Chu, knowing that the ancient artifacts must have been taken away by someone. This kind of thing happened occasionally, but Empress Song never pursued it. Defang couldn't help sighing. The two of them "see the prince for the younger one."

Defang looked at the two of them. It turned out to be Wang Yi, the manager of the East Palace, and Lu Han, the deputy manager. "What's the matter?"

"It's all right, I heard that you are here, my lord, so I came here to greet you."
