Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

A few days later, Defang did not see one of the generals at the celebration banquet that day when he went to court in the morning. After he went to the court, he asked another person to find out that the general was promoted but was transferred to a border town. Defang knew in his heart , anyone who has followed Taizu or has been in contact with generals and officials who are too close will have some "trouble". Although they will not be convicted of this as in the early years, they are often transferred or transferred. Obviously, Taizong is very concerned about these , he can only be more cautious.

In April, after the morning court, Defang returned to the study of the palace. Concubine Di led four-year-old Weixu, and Keer hugged two-year-old Weixian, and went to the study to look for Defang, but when they got there, they only saw Nangongwen The person was looking at the bookshelf, and Concubine Di asked, "Nangong, where is Your Highness?"

"See you, your highnesses." Nan Gongwen turned around and saluted, "The prince stayed in the study for a while after returning home, and now... I don't know if he went to the stable."

"Did your Highness not say anything when you came back?"

Nan Gongwen looked up at Concubine Di, and said softly, "My lord just said... why did His Majesty do that, then shook his head and left."

"What did His Majesty do?"

"The villain is not very clear."

Concubine Di nodded, "Nangong, then you should be busy."

"The villain sends off the empress respectfully, two little highnesses."

Concubine Di and Ke'er took Wei Xu and Wei Neng to the stable, and the stable guard hurriedly kowtowed, "Kowtow to see the princess and empress, and my little highness is blessed."

"Is His Highness in the stable?"

"Go back to Madam, the prince has not been to the stable today."

"No?" Concubine Di frowned, and Ke'er asked, "Madam, did the lord go back to the dormitory to see the third prince?"

"I should still be asleep now." Concubine Di waved her hand, and a servant came running over, "What's your order?"

"Go and see where His Royal Highness is. Let me tell you that Bengong and the two little princes are in Mingfang Pavilion."

"Yes, ma'am" the little servant ran to look for Defang, and Concubine Di went to the Mingfang Pavilion by the lake. From a distance, she saw Defang standing by the lake, Baili was away, and there was no one around her, Ke'er said "Your Majesty, look, the lord is already by the lake, maybe he has prepared refreshments and sent Baili to invite you."

Concubine Di shook her head, "Look, there's no one in the pavilion."

"What is the prince doing?"

Concubine Di didn't answer, she led Weixu and walked over to Defang, only to see that he was hugging Wei Neng, his eyes were looking at the lake, he was in a daze, Wei Neng was humming, his body was moving all the time Seeing this, Concubine Di quickly reached out to protect Wei Neng in front of his arm, and then called out, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Defang regained her composure and looked at Concubine Di, "Madam, I... oh... take Neng'er out for a walk."

"Why do you keep standing here?"

"Tired from walking...stand for a while."

"Standing is not more tiring. You should sit in the pavilion. Where is Baili? Why didn't he follow you?"

"I was afraid that Neng'er might get caught in the wind, so I asked him to get the quilt."

"Your Highness, it's better to call a maid to hold Neng'er."

"I'll just hug you." Defang looked at Wei Neng and sighed softly, "Madam... Looking at Neng'er, it's like seeing myself... so small... I don't have a mother... etc. He's grown up, I...how can I tell him...I'm sorry for Xiaodi, if I knew it earlier...I shouldn't be with her from the beginning..."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Without Xiaodi, how could there be any ability?"
