Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

In Nanqing Palace in December, Defang and Concubine Di chatted over tea in the teahouse. Except for Chongming and Shang En who were guarding the gate, only Keer was standing beside Concubine Di to serve. Concubine Di hugged her eldest grandson Zhao Congpu, and Congpu ate snacks from time to time. Still coughing a few times, Defang looked at Cong Pu and said, "Madam, why is Cong Pu's illness still not cured?"

"I've been coughing for a few days, and the national player said it's because of Cong Pu's weak constitution, and it's difficult to cure it."

Defang sighed, "Such a young child is so weak, won't he suffer from diseases in the future."

"My lord, the medical skills of the national hand are superb, and Cong Pu is still young, and he will be better if he takes more care of him in the future."

Defang stretched out his hand, "Cong Pu, grandpa hug."

Cong Pu also stretched out two small hands, and Defang hugged Cong Pu and kissed him, "Cong Pu, you must get better, and grandpa will teach you the Taizu emperor's boxing and stick techniques."

Congpu reached out to touch Defang's nose, and Defang smiled and took Congpu's little hand, "Congpu, you are the grandson of your grandparents, and you will have to take care of your younger siblings in the future."

Cong Pu coughed a few more times, then smiled as if nothing had happened, and gave Defang some snacks. Defang hugged Congpu, and couldn't bear to see him like this. Concubine Di knew that Defang was very fragile emotionally. Seeing him holding Cong Pu tightly and looking lonely, he knew that he was in a low mood at this time, so he said, "My lord, look at Cong Pu is giving you some snacks, what a good grandson, God will surely bless him in peace and well-being of."

Defang looked at Cong Pu who was smiling in his arms, took the snack in his hand and said, "Cong Pu, Emperor Taizu will protect you in the sky, grandparents will protect you, you will be fine."

Congpu looked at Defang and blinked, as if he understood, stretched out his arms to hug Defang, Defang touched Congpu's back, and then looked at Concubine Di, "Ma'am, I want to go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow. Ask for a talisman."

"The concubine will go with you, and the Buddha will feel our sincerity and bless Cong Pu in good health."

"Okay, let's go together." Defang looked at Cong Pu, "Cong Pu, good grandson, grandparents will definitely protect you."

"My lord" a servant stood at the door

Defang looked up, "Isn't this Xiaopeng? Why are you alone? Where is your father Baili?"

"Returning to the prince, father obeyed the order of the mother to go to the East Palace to deliver soup and food to Queen Song. Father said that today I will serve the prince."

"Ma'am" Defang looked at Concubine Di, "So you made soup for your mother again."

"The queen mother's body is very weak, and the East Palace can't cook any delicious meals, so the concubine stewed some soup, and asked the dining room to prepare some light meals and snacks for delivery."

"Madam is really caring, thank you"

"The queen mother is the queen mother of the prince and the concubines, and the concubines should be filial to their children."

Defang nodded, and Concubine Di said, "Xiaopeng, does your father rest assured that you will serve the prince alone?"

"Go back to your mother's words, father said that the prince can do whatever he wants, and if he can't do it well..."

"So what?"

"Just send the little one back to the palace..."

Defang looked at Concubine Di and smiled, "Ma'am, you didn't let Baili go to the East Palace on purpose, did you?"
