The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 45 Scared (1)
"Congratulations to the empress dowager, you have finally come to the end of all hardships. When the emperor appoints a queen, the day when he will be in charge will be near." Zhao Jing couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she could only flatter her in this way.

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face was even worse, the corners of her mouth turned up, thinking that just now Zhao Jing said that the emperor had gone to the imperial study, and couldn't help but said: "It's time for dinner in a blink of an eye, why is he going to the imperial study?" , did it really grow up all at once?"

The little emperor was a little irritable, and he usually felt uncomfortable after reading the memorial for half an hour. As for today's sudden voluntary going to the imperial study to manage politics, Zhao Jing herself didn't understand, and could only think that he had really grown up.

"The empress dowager always looks forward to the early success of the emperor. Now that the emperor has a willingness to learn, the empress dowager should be at ease."

"Who said that the Ai family can rest assured, he still doesn't know how to mess around at a young age, but now that he is old, he can't be sure. Tonight, you can serve him to bed, I'm afraid those little maids will teach him badly."

The queen mother said something unhurriedly, but Zhao Jing was a little dazed. She used to serve Zhou Xu to bed and only treated him as a child. Now that the child has suddenly grown into a big boy, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that she didn't answer, the queen mother glanced at her, Zhao Jing rushed up to meet her, and while supporting the queen mother, she said: "Your servant understands, please rest assured, the queen mother, if you are worried about the emperor, you can also help the emperor first." Choose a few female bedside officials who are both talented and beautiful, so that the emperor will first..."

Before Zhao Jing could finish speaking, the queen mother answered, "This matter is not in a hurry. More than half of the little maids around the emperor were trained by you. When you come back from Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, we can discuss whether or not to do so." Late."

Zhao Jing felt a little nervous when she heard this. It was about the end of the year when she came back from the Marquis of Wu'an. Zhao Jing wanted to take advantage of the end of the year to ask the Queen Mother to let her go out earlier, so that she could have a reunion year at home. .Although both parents passed away, elder brother and sister-in-law are warm-hearted and honest people, they would visit her at the gate of the palace every year, and the whole family hoped that she could go back as soon as possible.

Zhao Jing bowed her head and said nothing, and after a while she opened her mouth and said: "My servant went to the family temple of Marquis of Wu'an to have a look today, there are only twenty or thirty little nuns in total, they look really ugly, this servant thought, since the Queen Mother If you want to give Madam Hou a face, can you make a kind decree to let the masters of Yueying Nunnery be busy for one day, and send Madam Hou a ride on the twelfth day?"

Moon Shadow Nunnery was a place for royal family members to become monks and practice in the previous dynasty, but it has no other use in this dynasty. After the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager did not stipulate that the concubines must become monks, so only those who voluntarily pay homage to the Buddha went there to be honored. However, all the expenses are provided by the imperial court, just like a royal temple.

"What you said is very true. The family temples of ordinary people naturally have fewer manpower. Tomorrow, Ai's family will issue a decree to let the masters of Yueying Nunnery go and recite the scriptures." The dead Madam Hou was the niece of the empress dowager. The queen mother will definitely agree to these small things. Zhao Jing has already made up her mind, so she dares to talk big to Sun Mama and the others at the family temple.

Seeing that the Queen Mother agreed, Zhao Jing had almost finished her return, and it was time for dinner. Her clothes were worn from outside the palace to the palace, and her body was not clean, so naturally she couldn't serve in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother saw that she was retiring, she didn't stop her, she just said: "Remember to go to the Emperor's side later to see how much he has eaten for dinner, and send the little maid to tell, so that Ai's family can rest assured."

Zhao Jing nodded in agreement, stepped back with both feet, and turned to leave when she reached the door. The little palace maid guarding the door had already closed the curtain for her.Coming out of the warm hall, Zhao Jing couldn't help shivering when the cold wind blows outside.The cloak she wore from the outside still fell in the Linzhi Palace. It was freezing cold at this time, and it was uncomfortable to go all the way back to the next place.

"Auntie, go slowly."

All the way out of the Yongshou Palace, there are fewer maids and eunuchs on the road, and the maids who pass the meals can't greet people casually. Everyone walks against the corner and obeys their own rules.

The palace walls of the Forbidden City were two feet high, and when the draft blew, Zhao Jing couldn't help but fight between her upper and lower teeth.Seeing that her lower place was approaching, Zhao Jing gathered her energy and walked quickly in small steps. Who knew that when she reached the corner, a tall and burly figure suddenly appeared from behind the wall, and Zhao Jing was startled. With a jump, she didn't know that there was still snow on the ground that hadn't been swept away. After such a pause, her whole body slid back down.

That person was a step faster than Zhao Jing's reaction, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Jing's sleeve, and pulled her into his arms.Zhao Jing was in a stable state of shock, and was about to scold who was standing here under the big moon, but when she looked up and saw Zhou Yi's face, she was so frightened that she lost two and a half souls.

"My lord... my lord..." I don't know whether it was cold or frightened, Zhao Jing's whole body was shaking and she stuttered.
