Queen is fearless

Chapter 640 Entering the Palace
"It can't be considered anxious." Hearing Zhou Jing's question, a smile appeared on Gu Jinzhi's face.

"Isn't it already October? It will be November at the end of the month, and the Chinese New Year is not far away."

"Concubine Hui has to take care of all the big and small affairs in the palace now. It's really hard work. Even if it's two months, it's still a few days away from the end of the month."

"Anyway, I have to take care of myself later on. In that case, it would be better for me to have my confinement earlier so that Concubine Hui can come and walk around frequently. She is helping me take care of the harem, not what she is supposed to do."

In the past, with Lian Zhaoyi around, there was no need to worry too much about these things. It would be much easier for the two of them to take care of them together.

But now it is not like before, even Zhaoyi has gone out of the palace, it is impossible for her to come back to help with the palace affairs.

Therefore, these matters have to be handled by Gu Jinzhi himself and let Concubine Hui assist her.

"Don't work too hard, your body is important." Zhou Jing pondered whether to train more stewards in each palace, just like stewards in private mansions.

At that time, if there is any major matter, it will be reported directly to the queen, and if it is small, it must be handled by themselves or reported to Concubine Hui.

In this way, whether it is the queen or the concubine Hui, perhaps they can relax a bit.

However, such an arrangement may have disadvantages, that is, once those managers cheat, many things may go wrong.

When the time comes, the Queen and Concubine Hui will investigate, and I'm afraid there will be more trouble.

The emperor agreed to Yuan Zhen and allowed her and Yuan Cheng to invite the little friends into the palace to play.

Gu Jinzhi ordered Qingluan to tell the small kitchen to prepare some snacks that children could eat. In addition, Dian Zhongsheng asked the children to bring more fresh fruits and vegetables when they entered the palace.

At noon, a few children must be kept in the palace for meals.

On the day when Ji Heng's children entered the palace, it happened to be snowing, so they could only play in the palace.

"These things are quite interesting." In the side hall, there are many picture books, Ji Heng flipped through them a few times, and couldn't help but say.

Although they grew up outside the palace, the things they can play with are limited. They have never seen such a picture book before.

"I'll give it to you if you like it." It was Yuan Zhen's, she glanced at it, and said generously after she had finished reading it.

When she said this, Ji Heng looked at her and saw that she was serious, not reluctant, but not too polite.

"Then thank you, Your Royal Highness." As soon as Ji Heng finished speaking, Yuan Cheng turned his head in surprise and glanced at him.

Today, the clothes that Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen wear are the same style, the color is also very similar, even the hair is combed the same.

Except for Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen who knew each other's identities, probably only the queen and the palace servants who waited on the brothers and sisters to change their clothes could tell the difference.

Ji Heng recognized Yuan Zhen accurately, so it's no wonder Yuan Cheng was surprised.

"You're welcome." Yuan Zhen didn't feel anything, it seemed normal to be recognized, she nodded with a smile, went to the side to get a snack, and ate it.

"Desserts are delicious." Although it is not the first time entering the palace, it has been a long time since the last time entering the palace. At this moment, except for Ji Heng, the other children are looking around in the palace. They are all novel.

After all, it is a royal palace, and it is not comparable to ordinary people.

Zhou Yu approached Yuan Zhen, took a piece of snack, and ate it, he was a little hungry.

Among the several children, Zhou Yu is the roundest, so he eats the most and gets hungry quickly, but relatively, he is also naughty enough and consumes a lot of energy.

After the rest of the people 'visited', they all came over for dim sum.

This is a dim sum that can only be eaten in the palace, and it cannot be eaten outside the palace.

"Your Highness, it's snowing outside, what are we going to play?" Zhou Yu couldn't rest after eating a few pieces of snacks, and asked Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen.

Originally, the two brothers and sisters had planned what to play today according to Gu Jinzhi's instructions, but they didn't expect that it would suddenly snow, so the plan was disrupted.

"Do you have any ideas?" Yuan Cheng cleared his throat and asked several other people. Everyone shook their heads. They were not familiar with the palace. The adults told them not to run around after entering the palace.

"Then... eat some snacks, read a picture book, and have lunch together at noon."

In addition to the snow, today the wind is not small, it is really cold, Yuan Cheng has checked it specially, and is sure that there is no way to go out to play.

In this way, you can only play in the hall, you can't play hide-and-seek, because the place is not big enough.

After much deliberation, it seems that the only thing I can do is look at the picture book, eat snacks, and chat casually.

In the main hall, Gu Jinzhi, who knew the weather today, could only sigh.

There is no way, the weather cannot be changed by manpower.

Hearing that the children were reading picture books and eating snacks in the side hall, Gu Jinzhi specifically ordered the small kitchen to make some juice and send them over.

"I heard that the Empress is so beautiful!" Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head and said something while looking down at the drawing book.

Immediately, the eyes of several people gathered on him.

Ji Heng sighed in his heart, fortunately Zhou Yu is a child of the royal family and still young, otherwise, based on what he said just now, he would have to be punished.

"My mother is pretty, I look like my mother." Yuan Zhen thought for a while, looked at Zhou Yu, and replied.

Zhou Yu turned his head, looked at Yuan Zhen, and then at Prince Yuan Cheng. Although the siblings are still young, they can see that when they grow up, they must have outstanding looks.

Yuan Cheng stared at him, frowning slightly, as if not very happy, Zhou Yu also realized that what he said was wrong, stuck out his tongue quickly, and lowered his head.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little silent, but it was Ji Heng who broke the silence.

"His Royal Highness, how many of these books have you read?" The emperor issued an order, and Yuan Bao sent people to buy a lot of picture books in the capital, but he couldn't remember exactly how many.

After Gu Jinzhi asked Qingluan and Ziyuan to check, he separated a part and put it in the side hall of the brothers and sisters so that they could take a look at it slowly.

"There are quite a lot of books." Yuan Cheng thought for a while, but he didn't count them deliberately. He read each book seriously, and it wasn't too fast, but the drawing books were not thick, so during this time, he and Yuan Zhen I have read several books.

"Can you lend me a few copies later? I've never read it before, but today is the first time. I find it very interesting."

Ji Heng has already been enlightened, and he also knows a lot of characters. Sometimes when he looks at the stories in the picture book, he can think of the knowledge he has learned.

In this way, it is convenient for him to review, so he wants to borrow a few copies to go back and read.

"If you like it, pick a few and treat it as a gift for you." There are many picture books, and after reading them, Yuan Cheng will not turn them over again, because he knows what they are talking about.

The same is true for Yuan Zhen, and he still puts it on. For Ji Heng, he quite likes it, and thinks it is a good one, so he is willing to give him the painting book as a gift.

"Then I would like to thank the prince. I don't know which ones the prince has seen. Can you recommend one or two?"
