The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 458 Extra Story: The Emperor’s Wedding (2)
He walked to the edge of the bathtub, put his slender arms into the water, and slowly stretched down along Zhao Jing's waistline.At this time, Zhao Jing had no strength and could only stare at him with her eyes.Seeing Zhao Jing like this, Xu Si'an couldn't help laughing, bent down and kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "You have a good rest, the empress dowager will send you into the palace tomorrow!"

The emperor is already fourteen this year, and he has been in charge since the beginning of the new year. What is missing now is a queen.Zhao Jing was conferred the title of eldest princess when the two children were full moon. The younger brother is only so young, and he has already been canonized as the little prince.The emperor felt sorry for his younger sister again, so he appointed her a princess, and he liked her very much.

The names of the two babies were chosen by Xu Si'an and sent to the palace to be chosen by the little emperor himself. The boy's name is Xu Jiarui, and the girl's name is Xu Jianing, implying wisdom and progress, longevity and prosperity.

After Zhao Jing heard this, she didn't like Xu Si'an's anger, she just opened his salty pig's hand, leaned on the tub, closed her eyes and meditated: "I know this, the queen is still the girl from the Kang family, It's just that the queen mother still seems to be appointing three concubines for the emperor, so she wants to ask me what I mean."

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing opened her eyes, raised her head and glanced at Xu Si'an, and said, "I mentioned Miss Qi's matter to the emperor before, and I don't know what the emperor means. I can't force this kind of thing. Just look at the girl's good fortune."

Xu Si'an had already put on his middle coat at this time, but his chest was still bare, and he took two sips from the teacup on the small table, and said, "Well, let's finish this matter, if it doesn't work out, Miss Qi is also old It’s not too young, it’s true to give Zhang Luo a decent husband’s family.”

Seeing Xu Si'an's serious look, Zhao Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing, and sighed, "I've never seen you care about these things before, why do you care now?"

Hearing the words, Xu Si'an was An Zhiruotai, cleared his throat and said: "I didn't have a girl before, so I naturally wouldn't think of these things, it must be different now."

Zhao Jing still shook her head after hearing this, and said with a smile, "My daughter is only a few months old, so you're just thinking about this! It's so boring!"

Xu Si'an couldn't hold back anymore, he took two sips of tea, stood up and walked to the edge of Zhao Jing's tub, suddenly supported the edge of the tub with both hands and lowered his body, looked down at Zhao Jing and said: "My lady , my husband is very free now, help you wash the inside too?"

Zhao Jing didn't understand for a while, but when she came back to her senses, her face was already red, and she threw a foot-high water splash with a wave of her hand, hitting Xu Si'an all over her head and face.

After the two finished washing, they each got dressed, and when the maids entered the clean room to clean up, they realized that the water in the bathtub had almost bottomed out, and they didn't know how the two of them had played in the water just now. .

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Jing took care of the children one by one, and then changed clothes and went to the palace.Wealthy families have wet nurses, so she is not afraid that she will not have enough food for the two children, but it is just a tooth-beating ceremony for them when they are sleepy, and it cannot fill their stomachs.It's just that Zhao Jing is weaned now, and she is also a little bit reluctant, after all, the child will be closer to his mother if he spends more time with his mother.

When entering the palace, the little emperor had already gone to court, and the autumn sun was still hot. Zhao Jing went to the Yongshou Palace in a sedan chair, and the Empress Dowager Wei was feeding a new starling under the verandah. Although this starling was not as golden as before, Canary is beautiful, but it is rare that it has a clever mouth, and can say a lot of festive words.No wonder Empress Dowager Wei fed it a few grains of millet, and it kept yelling: "The queen mother is thousand years old, the queen mother is thousand years old, the queen mother is thousand years old!"

Coaxing several court ladies and eunuchs into a ball of laughter, they jokingly said: "This stupid thing is even more rewarding than ours now!"

Empress Dowager Wei slightly hooked the corners of her lips, raised her head and saw the maid leading Zhao Jing in.She put down the rice grains in her hand, wiped her hands, and turned to enter the hall.

Zhao Jing also knew about Queen Mother Wei's temper now, so she just followed her in, and after she sat down, she felt a little better, and said with a smile: "I heard from Fu Manduo that Qin Tianjian has already decided on a big wedding. Good day, the Empress Dowager can finally rest assured."

Empress Dowager Wei is only happy when she mentions the little emperor. Even though she used to dislike Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing is now one of her few relatives in this world.She also finally understood a truth, even if she is the empress dowager, there are still many things in this world that she cannot do whatever she wants.

"The date has been set, and there is also a candidate for the queen, but the candidate for the third concubine. I would like to ask the eldest princess to discuss it." Zhao Jing is now the eldest princess who has joined the Jade Spy, and the Queen Mother Wei dare not neglect her, especially The little emperor is still so close to her, and she doesn't need to show her face anymore.

"The choice of the third concubine, let the emperor decide for himself!" Zhao Jing said lightly, her heart was towards Zhou Xu, he had no way to resist the choice of the queen, this was for the sake of the overall situation, although he is now in charge, but he is gone The regent still needs to rely on three auxiliary ministers for all affairs of the court. One of them has a granddaughter who has become a queen, and even if the other two have no daughters, they are still trying their best to change one out!

No, the Wang family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, did not know where they got a distant niece. A few days ago, Madam Wang brought her into the palace to show the Queen Mother.

It's just... these one or two are not Zhou Xu's favorite people after all.
