Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked at Wang Jien who bowed his head in front of her for the first time, and seemed to have a different feeling in her heart. Defang withdrew her hand, held the golden mace firmly and said, "My lord, your majesty is still waiting for you to serve in the Chongzheng Palace, my king." Just go back home."

"Yes, my lord please"

Defang led Baili out of the palace gate, Jiajun stepped forward and said, "My lord, I heard from the adults in the next court that you have been ordered by the emperor to protect the food and go to the captive army."

"Yes." Defang handed the golden mace to Baili, "Jiajun, Baili, go to the East Palace."

The sedan chair team came to the East Palace, and Defang brought Baili and Jiajun to the inner courtyard where Empress Song lived. Defang said to Jiajun, "Jiajun, if Wang Yi and Lu Han come over, you block them. I don't want to see them." to these two men."

"Yes, my lord, the general will never let them step here until you come out."

Defang patted Jiajun on the chest, "You can do it, hehehe" and then led Baili to Queen Song's bedroom, but the door was open and there was no one inside. Defang looked left and right, and Fuer, Queen Song's personal maid, Walking by with tea, Defang walked over to "Fu'er"

Fu'er turned her head and saw Defang, and hurriedly saluted, "Slave servants see the prince, a thousand years old."

"Excuse me, Fu'er, where is your mother's descendant?"

"Go back to the prince, the lady is in the small garden, and the servant girl is about to bring tea."

"This king will go with you, Baili, help Fu'er carry it."

"Yes, my lord." Baili took the tea, and Fu'er saluted, "Thank you, lord, thank you, Mr. Baili, this way please."

The three of Defang came to the small garden. Queen Song sat on the stone pier and looked at the flowers in front of her, but there was no smile on her face.

Empress Song was very surprised. Defang rarely came to visit her in the East Palace for two consecutive days. Empress Song supported Defang's shoulder, "Defang? You... why are you here?"

"Mother, my son will come to accompany you these few days."

"why?"

"My son... I have received the emperor's order, and I will leave Beijing in a few days. Your Majesty said that I can come and see you."

"Out of Beijing? What's the matter this time?"

"It's a small matter, but it may take two or three months."

"Defang, if it's a trivial matter, why does His Majesty allow you to come to the East Palace these few days?"

"The queen mother is overthinking. It's really just a trivial matter." Defang smiled. "Last year Tanghe's match against the Liao people was a big event. This time it's nothing."

"Then why does His Majesty..."

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty's grace, wouldn't it be better for my son to come and see you more."

"Defang, is it true?"

"Yes, my servants are all in front of you, how could I lie to you, they will come in a few days."

"Okay, okay, get up first." Empress Song was very happy, "If possible, let Mingzhi come for a few days."

"Yes, Queen Mother, I will definitely bring her here." Defang stayed with Empress Song for a long time, and after lunch Defang and Baili left the inner courtyard to return. As soon as they left the inner courtyard, Jia Jun looked at Wang Yi expressionlessly. With Lu Han, neither of them dared to approach, Defang walked over, "Jiajun, thank you."

"Prince" Jiajun saluted with Wang Yi and Lu Han. Defang patted Jiajun and walked up to the two with a smile. Baili hurriedly put two things in Defang's hands, and Defang gave them each a " The two father-in-laws, the king and the queen mother are talking, it's hard for you two to wait here in such a hot day."

Wang Yi and Lu Han looked at the ingot of gold in their hands and smiled, "No hard work, no hard work, my lord, won't you sit down again?"
