The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 47
Zhao Jing slept until noon the next day.This place of hers is leaning against the west side, at this time the sun from the veranda eaves is shining on the kang inside, the sun is really drying the buttocks.When Zhao Jing got up, she felt light and light, and her walking was a little weak. She took a look in the bronze mirror, and her whole face was swollen except for her eyes.

Zhao Jing didn't bother to worry about these things, she hurriedly washed her face and went to the imperial study room. It was time for the emperor to read the memorial, so she went there to answer her questions, and she could go back to the Marquis Mansion after explaining to her.In a few days it will be the day when Mrs. Hou will be buried, and she finally wants the hero to retire.

The imperial study room was quiet, because the stove was too hot, the little emperor sat on the dragon chair with his robe untied, his body naturally leaned back, and he was reading a memorial in his hand, looking very comfortable.Seeing Zhao Jing go in, he hurriedly straightened his posture, cleared his throat, took a sneak peek at her, then lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhao Jing saw that he cleared his throat on purpose, so she went to the outside tea stove to brew a cup of tea, handed it to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, you have a position when you sit, and you have a position when you stand. Your majesty is the king of a country." , and more importantly, we must do our best..."

Before Zhao Jing finished speaking, Zhou Xu stretched out his hand and touched her forehead. Seeing that Zhao Jing no longer had a fever, he said, "Dr. .”

Zhao Jing blushed, pushed the emperor's hand away, and handed the teacup into his hand: "The palace maids have their own medical maids to see a doctor, why does the emperor make an exception for slaves?"

"What kind of exception is this? As the saying goes, doctors are parents, and doctors are equal to everyone before. Why did my aunt make such a polite thing with me?" Zhou Xu stared at Zhao Jing with a pair of eyes.She had been ill for a while, and she looked haggard, her lips were so dry that they were about to split, Zhou Xu really wanted to take a bite.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu felt a little thirsty. He just opened up the primordial spirit under the guidance of the imperial physician yesterday, and now his mind is full of those messy things. Looking at other court ladies, he lost interest, only when he saw Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing also noticed Zhou Xu's eyes, she lowered her head and didn't look at him, she saw that she put the teacup on the dragon table, and she sat down again, she blessed her body and said: "This servant is here to meet the emperor Just say a word, and after a while, the servants will leave the palace and go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion."

"The queen mother is also true. It's not good to send someone. If you have to go, you are still sick. Otherwise, I will go to the mother mother and tell her to change someone." The emperor opened his mouth impatiently.

Zhao Jing didn't take it seriously, she just joked: "The matter is almost over, if letting someone else go at this time, wouldn't it be taking my credit?"

When the emperor heard the same thing, he sighed and said, "Then you go."

Just at this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Xiao Fuzi trotted all the way, reporting inside: "The emperor is overjoyed! The emperor is overjoyed! Marquis Wu'an won another big victory at the border, killing the Tartars like nothing! It's six hundred and urgent news, the emperor hasten to take a look!"

The emperor was still a little disappointed at first, but after hearing this, he immediately regained his energy. When he saw Xiao Fuzi coming in, he hurriedly beckoned him to submit the victory report, opened it and read it from the beginning to the end. Marquis Wu An is really a talented general. After being surrounded for more than a month, he was able to break out of the siege, and in turn chased the Tartars to flee. It seems that some battles in the north have been fought. Dayong will feel proud this time. Already!"

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhao Jing was also happy. Then she thought about it, the Bodhisattva in Puzhao Temple was really effective. She just said something casually yesterday, but she didn't expect the good news today.

"The Marquis has won the battle, and the maidservant has to arrange Madam Hou's funeral in a decent manner, so that the hard work of the Marquis at the border will not be in vain."

The emperor was happy at this moment, so he postponed the matter of Zhao Jing's going out of the palace for a while, just nodded and said: "You go, and take care of Madam Hou's funeral properly, this is also the will of the queen mother and me."

Zhao Jing let out a happy hey, turned around and backed out. She still had to go to Yongshou Palace to see what the Empress Dowager had to say.When he walked halfway, he suddenly saw Yan'er, the young lady of Yongshou Palace, coming this way. Seeing Zhao Jing, she said, "Auntie, the Empress Dowager is sending you there!"

Zhao Jing couldn't help thinking wildly that she was a sensitive person to the Queen Mother.First, the Empress Dowager knew that she didn't like the emperor and wanted to go out of the palace wholeheartedly, so she felt more at ease serving the emperor; second, the emperor seemed to care more about herself than usual, and some of them went beyond the rules of master and servant. It was Zhao Jing's fault for inviting the imperial physician.

But this also has an advantage, the more this is the case, the more afraid the Queen Mother will keep her.

"I heard that you were sick yesterday, are you feeling better now?"

There is a trouble in the palace, and the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace is always the first to get news.Zhao Jing didn't expect to hide this matter from the Queen Mother, so she replied honestly: "It's because of some cold, and after taking a dose of medicine, it's already gone."

The queen mother nodded and seemed to be talking to herself: "Dr. Du's prescription is still so effective."

But Zhao Jing understood the meaning of this, she just knelt down and said: "The queen mother calm down, the emperor broke the rules for a while, the slaves have already told the emperor."

Seeing Zhao Jing's terrified face, the queen mother changed the seriousness into a smile, and said lightly: "It's nothing, anyway, you will be leaving the palace soon, and Ai's family will remind you about the future. For the emperor."

After hearing this, Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, the queen mother trusted herself, but not the emperor, it seemed that her journey out of the palace was smooth and safe.

"The emperor received the good news just now, Marquis Wu'an won another battle at the border. Mrs. Hou was buried on the twelfth day, and there are only four or five days left. The servants still have some things to do. Tete Come back to the Empress Dowager, so I can go to the Marquis's Mansion." Zhao Jing now has a firm mind, and even feels a little better from illness, with a smile on her lips, she replied word by word.

"Then you go back, wait for a few days to finish your work, and come back and Ai's family to choose a few reliable bedsiders for the emperor, and then you can go home to celebrate the New Year happily."
