Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 319 Trial Marriage After Years (3 More)
Song Yuanbao poked in place, not knowing what expression to put on.

No wonder the little father-in-law would say that His Royal Highness doesn't allow people to watch the night inside when he sleeps. It turns out that this fellow has an unknown side.

Think about people who are unsmiling and self-disciplined on weekdays, kicking the quilt and kicking the pillow when they sleep at night.

This contrast is really unexpected.

Afraid of waking people up, Song Yuanbao didn't go over to pick up the quilt for Zhao Xi, and didn't put a pillow for him. He took a deep breath and walked out lightly.

The little father-in-law outside was about to cry, watching Song Yuanbao come out, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, is Your Highness awake?"

Song Yuanbao spread his hands, "Sleep soundly."

"Then you didn't disturb him, did you?" the little eunuch asked again.

Song Yuanbao smiled inexplicably.

In order not to expose his minor flaws to his servants, Zhao Xi would rather not have anyone close to him.

Song Yuanbao believed that if he dared to wake him up and break his privacy on the spot at this time, he would definitely copy the "Qing Xin Sutra" tonight, and if he could save his life, it would be considered a light punishment.

Patting the little eunuch on the shoulder, Song Yuanbao said something very comforting to him, "Don't worry, Your Highness is still dreaming right now!"

The little eunuch heaved a sigh of relief, and then frowned again, "The palace banquet is about to start, and His Royal Highness hasn't gotten up yet, so what should we do?"

"What else can I do, just knock on the door!"

As Song Yuanbao said, without waiting for the little eunuch to make a move, he slapped the door panel two or three times.

While filming, he also shouted, "Your Highness, get up and study!"

Little eunuch: "..."

Zhao Xi was woken up in the inner hall. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long while, feeling as if he didn't know what was going on.

Sitting up, he found that only his pajamas were left on his body, the brocade quilt had fallen off long ago, the pillow was pushed aside, and changed from lying to standing up, which clearly showed how ugly his sleeping appearance was.

Zhao Xi stretched out his hand to rub his forehead. Since he was a child, he has been able to discipline himself and restrain himself in everything, except kicking the quilt and hitting the pillow in his dream, nothing can change it.

In order not to let the servants find out, he always sleeps alone, and he is not allowed to keep watch at night, and he is not allowed to come in before he wakes up.

The knocking on the door continued, almost like a death call.

Zhao Xi frowned, took the robe from the head of the bed and put it on, quickly made the bed, and walked out of the inner hall.

Song Yuanbao clapped the door panel happily, and shouted vigorously, when he suddenly heard a low voice from behind the door, "Shut up!"

The knocking on the door and shouting stopped abruptly.

Song Yuanbao's outstretched hand was still frozen in the air, the main hall door had already been opened, and Zhao Xi stood in front of him fully dressed.

Song Yuanbao withdrew his paws, cupped his hands instead, and saluted him, "Your Highness."

Zhao Xi looked at him, "Didn't you go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did you return to the palace so early?"

Song Yuanbao asked, "Will I be punished if I come a few hours late tomorrow morning? If not, I'll go back now, maybe I can catch up with the family for the reunion dinner."

Zhao Xi glanced at him lightly, "Let Father-in-Law Three Treasures pass on the meal to you." His eyes turned to the little father-in-law named "Three Treasures", "What's going on at Ganquan Hall?"

Ganquan Hall is the place where the palace banquet will be held tonight.

Eunuch Sanbao said: "Return to Your Highness, the ministers are entering the palace one after another, and the palace banquet will begin soon."

Zhao Xi said "hmm" and ordered, "Bring in the washing things."

Soon three little maids came, the leading lady was holding a copper basin with freshly mixed warm water, and the one behind was holding a tray, in which besides the velvet towel and facial cleansing cream, there was also something made of horsetail. Toothbrush, next to the toothbrush is a round porcelain box, which contains tooth powder made of saponins, ginger and green salt.

The last one held in his hand the luxurious brocade robe that Zhao Xi would wear to the banquet later.

Song Yuanbao glanced over, focusing on the little eunuch beside him, "Your name is Sanbao?"

He only found out today, and he didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays.

Eunuch Sanbao nodded, "A few days ago, His Royal Highness re-given the name."

Song Yuanbao was in a complicated mood.

His name is Yuan Bao, and his younger brother Jin Bao. Now that the eunuch San Bao suddenly appears, he always feels that something is wrong.

He even wondered if His Highness was deliberately trying to dissuade him, that's why he gave the little eunuch such a name.

"Master Song, are you hungry? This servant is going to pass you meals."

Eunuch Sanbao didn't know what Song Yuanbao was thinking at all, so he asked with concern.

Song Yuanbao nodded, "Let's pass it on!"

Depression belongs to depression, you still have to eat food, if you don’t fill your stomach, how can you continue to be depressed?

When Zhao Xi washed and redressed to go out, he passed by Song Yuanbao's side hall, and saw his little companion sitting at the table eating happily, looking more relaxed than at his house.

Zhao Xi withdrew his gaze, walked out of the gate of Yutang Palace with a dull expression, sat on a soft chariot, and headed for Ganquan Palace.

Father-in-law Sanbao stayed behind and took care of Song Yuanbao.

After eating and drinking, Song Yuanbao leaned on the recliner, glanced at Father-in-law Sanbao, and asked him, "How long have you been in the palace?"

Eunuch Sanbao replied: "The servant entered the palace when he was young, and His Highness was purged and sent here to serve him when he entered school at the age of six."

Song Yuanbao was very curious, "Then you can be regarded as an old man beside His Royal Highness. After all these years, have you really never gone in to stay overnight?"

Eunuch Sanbao shook his head, "This is His Majesty's rule, don't let anyone watch the night when you sleep, and don't let anyone in to disturb you before you wake up, even if the emperor comes."

Song Yuanbao let out a long "Oh" and understood most of it.

For a person who insists on perfection in everything, kicking the quilt and kicking the pillow in sleep will probably be a stain that he is ashamed to talk about all his life.

Song Yuanbao didn't have a penchant for exposing people's weaknesses, he just couldn't help thinking, what would happen if someone like His Majesty married a daughter-in-law in the future?If he can hide it from others, can he still hide it from his wife who shares the same bed every night?

A palace banquet is nothing more than that, the emperor hosts a banquet to have fun with all the officials, and add a few songs and dances to add to the fun.

But tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is also a moon viewing session, so it is destined to be late.

Zhao Xi sat next to Concubine Qi, occasionally talking to his mother.

He has a low temper, and has always only had an attitude of coping with these lively occasions, without much interest.

Taking advantage of the fact that other people's attention was on the dancing girl, Concubine Qi leaned closer to Zhao Xi and whispered: "Xi'er, I have already discussed with your royal father, and we will arrange a trial marriage for you as soon as possible after the New Year. Be mentally prepared."

Trial marriage means that the prince in the palace between the ages of 13 and 17 is arranged to receive pre-marital sexual enlightenment, and the prince's first contact is the court lady.

Hearing this, Zhao Xi's finger holding the wine glass tightened slightly, "After the new year, Erchen is only 14 years old."

Concubine Qi smiled and said: "Anyway, I have already found a candidate for your mother and concubine. After the new year, I will send it to your palace. As long as you are not over 17 years old, you can decide when you are lucky."

After a pause, he said again: "I saw that there are a few young people in your palace who are handsome. If you like them, you can choose them."

Zhao Xi stared straight at the dancer on stage, and said in a flat voice, "Let's talk!"

Seeing that her son was not in high spirits, Concubine Qi said to him: "Xi'er, you don't have to push yourself so hard. You are already good enough among children of your age. When it's time to relax, you should relax. After all, you are only 13 years old. You are still a child, and the pressure is too great, I am worried that your body will not be able to bear it."

"My son is used to it." Zhao Xi said.

Concubine Qi looked at him with loving and helpless eyes, "No matter what you want to do in the future, you must first have a strong body. It is not a good sign to be exhausted at a young age. Can you understand?"

"My son understands."

"But you just don't change."

Concubine Qi had said these words to him more than once, but every time Zhao Xi would go in one ear and out the other.

Other people's families tell their children to be obedient and study hard, but when it comes to Zhao Xi's place, it's the other way around, the mother begs her son to rest.

Concubine Qi has always been very worried about Zhao Xi's health, and at least twice a month she has to ask the imperial physician to give him a pulse for peace of mind.

The truth is, Zhao Xi has a stronger physique than ordinary people due to years of exercise, and his work and rest schedule is stable, so even though outsiders look at him working hard, he himself is fine.

After sitting for a while, a minister proposed the establishment of a prince.

Zhao Xi's excellence is well known in the government and the public, and it is not a matter of making him the crown prince in the eyes of civil and military officials. Therefore, when the minister proposed it, no one objected, and everyone's eyes were on Emperor Guangxi. .

Emperor Guangxi played with the wine cup in his hand, but did not make a decision immediately.

Empress Su reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, so many ministers are watching!"

Emperor Guangxi said: "Since the empress is so anxious, why don't you answer for me."

Empress Su sneered, "The emperor really knows how to make fun of his concubines."

While the ministers were whispering to each other, Emperor Guangxi said ambiguously that the princes were all underage, and he would not establish a prince for the time being.

Hearing this, Empress Su was obviously relieved.

Concubine Qi was a little disappointed, she felt sorry for her son, she was so perfect that she had an absolute advantage, but in the end she was no match for the emperor's biased heart, Concubine Duan was a favorite concubine, it was impossible for the emperor not to care about the offspring she gave birth to.

As long as the establishment of the reserve is not settled, Concubine Qi will not be able to feel at ease for a day.

Zhao Xi didn't have much reaction on his face. It's not that he doesn't care, it's not that he doesn't want to be a prince, but he just feels that his competitors haven't grown up yet, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all. The most important thing is to make himself good enough, so good that his father can't stand He can't do it.
