Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Then you are saying that you have great abilities?"

Kou Zhun nodded, "King Xiang praises me so much, I have the audacity to accept it."

"Huh?" Yuan Kan was taken aback, then laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, well, it seems that your mouth is capable, no wonder you can ask the truth from the assassin's mouth."

At this time, the maid came in, "Your Majesty, lunch is ready."

Concubine Di nodded, "Okay, Yuan Kan, Lord Kou, let's have lunch together."

Kou Zhun stood up as soon as he heard it, "Okay, okay, Xiaguan hasn't eaten since morning, and I'm very hungry."

Yuan Kan looked at Kou Zhun in surprise, "I said Mr. Kou, why are you so rude to your mother? It sounds like my brother's Nanqing Palace is your residence."

"Don't dare!" Kou Zhun shook his hand, "It's what the prince said, but I can come anytime, I can drink good wine."

"Really?" Yuan Kan looked at Concubine Di, and Concubine Di nodded with a smile, "Yes, what the prince said, Mr. Kou is his savior, and the prince said that the gate of the palace is always open for Mr. Kou. Adults have a drink."

"Yes, yes" Kou Zhun nodded

Yuan Kan curled his lips, "It seems that Brother Wang treats you better than me, and the treatment is very high."

Kou Zhun smiled, "Prince Xiang is serious, you are the younger brother of the prince, and the lower officials are just outsiders, so you can't be compared, you can't be compared."

Concubine Di also laughed when she heard this, "Yuan Kan, how do you compare yourself with Mr. Kou? You and the prince are close relatives. When you were in the palace, the prince took great care of you. No one else can compare."

"That's it." Yuan Kan nodded, "Lord Kou, I don't envy you."

"Yes, the official wants to envy King Xiang, but he can't envy him, hehe"

Concubine Di stood up, "Stop talking standing up, it's not good to eat lunch when it's cold, Master Kou, I'll ask someone to bring you some good wine."

"Thank you, ma'am," Kou Zhun cupped his hands with a smile on his face, and Yuan Kan said after hearing this, "Sister-in-law Wang, and mine."

"How could sister-in-law forget Yuan Kan, but drink less."

"Yes, Mrs. Wang, hehehe"

On the other hand, Defang was talking with Empress Song in the East Palace. Because she hadn’t eaten any meals in the morning, Defang asked someone to prepare lunch earlier. After eating it, she helped Empress Song go back to the house to rest, and then she left the East Palace. , the Defang sedan chair team was going to turn back to the Nanqing Palace, but Defang suddenly said in the sedan chair, "Jiajun, this king is going to enter the palace."

"My lord, it's almost noon, do you want to go now?"

"Yes, now."

"Yes" Jia Jun raised his hand and shouted, "The sedan chair team turns around, the prince enters the palace."

The sedan chair team came to the gate of the palace, Defang got off the sedan chair and said, "Jiajun, you wait here, Baili, and enter the palace with the king."

"Yes, my lord"

Defang went straight to the Chongzheng Hall, but Taizong was not there at this time, so Defang summoned his servants, "Go and inform Your Majesty that the king wants to see you."

"Yes, my lord, wait a moment." The servant ran to the inner hall to report, and Baili asked, "My lord, why are you meeting me at this time?"

"I have something to ask Your Majesty."

"You didn't want to open the matter of Empress Bao, did you?"

Defang looked at Baili, "Listen to you, shouldn't this king come?"

"Prince" Baili Lala Defang: "It's not the first time you have come to beg Your Majesty. In the end, either you were prevaricated or His Majesty left your seat. You will be sad again when you go back. Why are you bothering?"

Defang sighed, "I understand what your majesty says and do, but I still want to ask your majesty. Baili, as a son, has a mother in church but can't serve him every day. No matter what the reason is, this It is because this king has not fulfilled the filial piety of a son of man, so even if the result is still the same, this king will never give up the slightest possibility."
