The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 170

Zhao Chen reviewed several important memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then asked someone to call Mr. Qin Tianjian Wen into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and told him that Empress Rong returned to the palace, and asked him to choose an auspicious day to announce to the world to confer the queen hall.

Lord Qin Tianjian was startled when he heard that, and immediately knelt down, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, I will definitely choose an auspicious day to come out after I go back." There are rumors outside that who will get the queen's position, and no one can think of it. It was rumored that she was not in good health and fell out of favor and was sent to Zhuangzi to cultivate herself.

No, it should be called the queen now, presumably there is a reason why the Rong family has not been reused since the emperor ascended the throne.

After Qin Tianjian left, Zhao Chen didn't stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for long, and immediately went to the Hall of Deyang. Eunuch Ying, who was serving outside, was relieved. He had heard about the Rong family's return to the palace. Seeing the emperor like this, I felt more relieved. Before the empress Rong was no longer there, the emperor stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation almost all night long. He had never been to Deyang Hall a few times. Now that the empress is back, the emperor will no longer torture her own up.

After Zhao Chen went to Yangxin Hall, he waved away the maids and eunuchs, only him and the big and small figures on the bed were left in the whole Deyang Hall.

Zhao Chen didn't bother them, he went to the clean room to freshen up, put on a black brocade robe and came to the bedroom, he stood by the bed for a long while, his heart beating violently, he sat down on the bed after a long time, stretched out his hand to caress Caress Baozhu's hair.

Baozhu was not asleep yet, so she naturally heard the movement behind her, she didn't concentrate, she just closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

Zhao Chen went to bed, hugged her in his arms, feeling the stiffness in his arms, he sighed in his heart, didn't say anything, just hugged her tightly, and went to see the sweet sleep beside her The strong and strong, the heart gave birth to infinite satisfaction.

After a long while, Baozhu gradually relaxed her body, and seemed to hear Zhao Chen whispering in her ear in a daze, "Baozhu, I'm sorry, forgive me, okay? There will never be another future."

When he woke up early the next morning, Zhao Chen was no longer by his side, Bao Zhu called the maids over, and Zhuang Zhuang also woke up early in the morning, seeing his mother wake up, he babbled and laughed, revealing that he just popped his head A few baby teeth come.

Miaoyu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty will have some breakfast after getting up, and the concubines in the harem will come to greet you later. This morning, the emperor has notified the harem, saying that you are back, and that there will be a seal ceremony. In the back hall, let all the concubines in the harem come over to pay your respects to the empress."

Baozhu snorted, didn't pay much attention to this matter, rushed to Zhuangzhuang and waved, Zhuangzhuang happily kicked his calves and crawled towards Baozhu, even using all his energy to feed, which made Miaoyu and the others laugh up.

After the two got up, Baozhu had breakfast and fed Zhuang Zhuang something, and then Miaoyu asked the concubine in the harem to say that she didn't need to pay her respects today.

Miaoyu paused, "Ma'am, this?"

Baozhu said, "Yizhi has not come down yet, I am just like everyone now, but I am still an ordinary concubine, why do you ask everyone to come here to pay respects?"

Miaoyu hesitated for a while, and went to talk to the concubines, but only said that Baozhu was not feeling well, so she would not be able to see them today.

The concubines didn't say anything and left quickly.

Apart from Baozhu, there are not many concubines left in the palace now, except for the two side concubines that I originally thought, side concubine Dong conferred the title of Zhaoyi, side concubine Yuan conferred the title of Zhaoyuan, and two other concubines who were originally concubines in the palace. , Chen Xiangying conferred the title of Shuyi, another Mu Ranran conferred the title of Shuyuan, and the only one left was Yumei, who was bestowed by the queen mother to the emperor, and now she is conferred the title of Zhaorong.

Baozhu didn't go out of Deyang Palace, and stayed with Zhuang Zhuang in the palace. In the palace, only the maids around Baozhu were serving her. Even if His Highness's maids were curious about the empress who was about to be named queen, they couldn't see her.

As for the original maidservants beside the emperor, Baozhu had never seen them.

Speaking of which, she was chased by the empress dowager, maybe it was done by some concubines in the harem. She didn't know who it was. It's been almost a year since this meeting, and I'm afraid the evidence is gone. She didn't intend to Let that person go, of course, she will definitely not be able to find out about this matter, and she has no contacts around her, so she can only tell Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen got up before dawn, packed up and went to the morning court. When he went, his spirits trembled. It was probably the most energetic moment in this year.

After passing the court, he waited for the ministers to report what should be reported, discussed it, and after dealing with it, Zhao Chen explained the matter of the Queen's seal, which should be handed over to Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites make arrangements for.

All the ministers were still a little hesitant, saying that the seventh daughter of the Rong family is also worthy of the position of queen, but maybe this is too hasty.

The Rong family was not surprised, they also saw the emperor's affection for Baozhu all these years.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Zhao Chen said again, "When I led the army to fight, I went to Zhuangzi to see the queen several times. She was not in good health before, and her health became worse after she became pregnant, so she gave birth to the queen in Zhuangzi. My child, I am not in a hurry to bring them back, now that the prince is grown up and the queen is almost ready to support her, I just brought them back, and will hold a banquet for the queen and prince in the palace three days later."

When everyone heard it, well, the family even gave birth to a prince, this is the only prince of the emperor, and they had nothing to say just because of the establishment of the empress.

After that, the Ministry of Rites also started to make arrangements.

Zhao Chen was busy in the hall until noon before leaving court, and went directly to Deyang Hall, Baozhu hadn't had lunch yet, so he waited for Zhao Chen to come over before ordering the maids to serve lunch.

Zhao Chen sat down on his seat, his eyes fell on Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zhuang was also looking at him, his eyes fixed, his little face stopped smiling, Zhuang Zhuang lost his smile when he saw Zhao Chen, he seemed a little afraid of him.

Zhao Chen's eyes fell on Baozhu again, "You don't have to wait for me at lunch next time, you just eat first."

Orb nodded.

Zhuang Zhuang had already eaten, Bao Zhu handed Zhuang Zhuang to Miao Yu and asked her to carry him to the room to rest, then said to Zhao Chen, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you."

"That's what you say." Zhao Chen's long and narrow eyes looked at the orb tightly, almost greedily.

Baozhu was not used to it, so she turned her body slightly and said, "The concubine encountered bandits when he went back to Jiangnan with the dynasty, so he was delayed for half a month in the mountains, and then he rushed back to Jiangnan immediately, but when he entered the city, he encountered some bandits. Trouble, the guards guarding the city are searching for people, and the concubine took a look. The portrait on it shows Xiaoba Xiaojiu and the concubine when they were in men's clothing, but the portrait of the men's clothing is not very accurate. At that time, I was riding That's why Xiao Jiu didn't enter Jiangnan, and went to hide elsewhere..."

Baozhu didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Zhao Chen already knew what was going on, and his face became gloomy. It must be that the Queen Mother and Emperor Wen'an wanted to catch Baozhu, but the Queen Mother and the others were far away in the capital, and Baozhu was dressed in men's clothing Only the people in the palace knew, and only the cronies around the two of them knew what the Baozhu men's clothing looked like. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Wen'an definitely didn't know what the Baozhu men's clothing looked like at the beginning, so they drew the wrong one.

Then it must be someone from the palace who informed. They only know the appearance of Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, but they don't know the appearance of Baozhu's men's clothing. As for who it is, he is not sure now, but he has a way to find out.

Zhao Chen said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter, let's eat first."

After eating, Baozhu went to the room to look at Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zhuang had already fallen asleep, with his arms and legs spread out, sound asleep.

Sitting on the bedside, Zhao Chen was stupefied watching his son sleep, his heart almost melted, and he wanted to touch the child, but he was afraid of waking him up.

Seeing his cautious and hesitant appearance, Baozhu finally softened her heart, "You can touch him, it's okay, Zhuang Zhuang won't be easily woken up when he's asleep."

Zhao Chen got the affirmation, leaned down and kissed Zhuang Zhuang's cheek lightly, his heart was about to jump out, his hands were trembling a little, he slowly raised his head, and gently kissed Zhuang Zhuang with his big palm full of calluses. He caressed his plump face.

Zhao Chen's palm was full of cocoons from holding the sword before, and the stabbing was a bit uncomfortable, so he frowned, but luckily he hadn't woken up yet.

Zhao Chen froze, and quickly let go of his hand. He was relieved when he saw Zhuang Zhuang's brows stretched out, but he hadn't gotten up yet, and he still bent over and looked at Zhuang Zhuang quietly.

After a long while, he finally stood up, with a strange look on his face that Baozhu had never seen before, seemingly moved, dazed, and at a loss.

Seeing that Baozhu was still looking at him, Zhao Chen couldn't help smiling, and said softly, "I have something to do when I go out, and I'll come back to accompany you at night. You can think of Zhuang Zhuang's name. His name hasn't been named yet. Let's help him choose one together." name."

Baozhu nodded lightly.

Zhao Chen left Deyang Palace and went directly to the cold palace where the empress dowager was imprisoned. This cold palace was originally used to house unfavored concubines. Now there are not many concubines in this harem, so only the queen dowager will be imprisoned here.

The guards outside the Leng Palace were heavily guarded, so Zhao Chen went directly to meet the Queen Mother after entering the Leng Palace.

The Empress Dowager no longer has the graceful appearance she used to have, she is like an ordinary old woman at this moment, with gray hair and wrinkled face, when she saw Zhao Chen, she rushed over ferociously, "You bastard! What are you doing here? Do you still want to see Aijia's joke?"

Zhao Chen kicked someone away, and sneered, "Aijia? Are you worthy of being called Aijia?"

The queen mother was kicked down, struggled for a long time before getting up, sat on the spot and waited viciously for Zhao Chen, "Zhao Chen, you will die! Even if I kill your mother and concubine and the first emperor, I still have the grace of nurturing you, you just Don't be afraid of lightning strikes from the sky!"

Zhao Chen sneered, "Lightning strikes from the sky? You were the one who hit me. What kind of nurturing grace do you have for me? You just want to keep me and die slowly. Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. I have lived in the palace for 20 years. Years, how many times have you almost died in your hands? Your mistake is that you always want to play with the enemy slowly. If you killed me directly, you would not let me sit in this position. !"

The queen mother gasped and stopped talking. After a while, she finally closed her eyes and said, "I did all those things back then. It has nothing to do with your imperial brother, Tianrui, and Chang'an. You can let them go."

Zhao Chen didn't reply, he just looked at the queen mother fixedly, and said after a long time, "Who told you the news that Bao Zhu was staying in the south of the Yangtze River dressed as a man?"
