I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 8 Jiazi Peach

Zhao Xi was warned by the empress not to play on the swings again, he could do this, but what he really wanted to know was: whether all the swings in the harem had been tampered with.

So, on the first day he was released from Ciming Palace, he went to see the swings in other places.

Unfortunately, I searched the entire harem and couldn't find a single swing.

Father's handling made Zhao Xi very helpless.Since then, there have been no swings in the entire palace.

The Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Fuxiang, the disaster of the swing has no fruit."

As the deputy envoys of the Privy Council, Han Qi and Fu Bi were quite eye-catching.There are also times when I walk around like this during my official leisure time.

"No result?"

"After many days of investigation by the Imperial City Division, the officials just removed all the swings in the harem."

Obviously, the officials couldn't find anyone who was discouraged, so they had to compete with those dead things.

Fu Bi shook his head, really not knowing what to say.

Such a benevolent official family is the blessing of the Song Dynasty and the blessing of the ministers and workers, but I always feel that something is missing.

"Could it be..."

"Not sure. But Concubine Zhang Xian is pregnant."

After speaking, the two tacitly stopped talking.

The matter has not reached the level of the outer court's intervention, and they can only be used as a topic of chatting.

Recently, Zhao Xi can only play with those boring toys.

He really felt bored, but Tao Niang never tired of it, especially when she saw Zhao Xi building a palace with small wood, she pestered Zhao Xi even more to ask her for building blocks.

Safety is safety, but Zhao Xi feels bored.Zhao Xi even taught some puzzle games for later generations to raise children, but... it's really not on the same level.

Now the maids who accompanied them no longer dared to join in the fun by themselves, they all stood aside in a well-behaved manner, even if they couldn't pull out their eyes, they didn't dare to neglect their duties anymore.

Moreover, there was no need for the empress to send someone to call, the accompanying maids would beg them to return to Ciming Palace when it was almost time.

Whether it's Zhao Xi or Gao Taotao, they seldom make things difficult for others.

The Ciming Palace was very lively, because Concubine Zhang Xian brought over a pot of flowers, which she said were Jiazi peaches.The origin of this name is because the flower only bears fruit once every sixty years. Concubine Zhang Xian felt that the meaning of the flower was very good, so she sent it to the queen, which can be regarded as a wish for the queen.

Zhao Xi hadn't heard of this name before, so he let his stomach go, and brought Tao Niang over to have a look.

This...isn't this oleander?It was called Jiazitao?Zhao Xi thought about it more carefully... That feeling should be called thinking carefully.

This is called a good play!

"Tao Niang, remember not to touch the potted flower, nor to play with the leaves of the flower, nor to pick the fruit to eat."

Zhao Xi can't control others, she can warn Tao Niang.

As for the empress, she can't decide what she eats, and she can't taste the oleander fruit rashly.

The oleander sent by Concubine Zhang Xian had already borne fruit.This thing is said to be harmful, only harmful to infants and young children...

"Brother Xi, why?"

"The fruit is poisonous, and it will kill you if you eat it."

No matter what you say to the little girl, it is impossible to make her feel evil.It's just that it's very difficult for Zhao Xi to let everyone know about the oleander, and it's also impossible for people to know the intention of the flower-giver.

It's just that I'm afraid that the person surnamed Zhang will be disappointed.

When Zhao Zhen went to court, he also heard about Jiazitao in Ciming Palace.Jiazi, it's nothing to others, but it really has a profound meaning to Zhao Zhen.

Looking up several generations, none of his family lived beyond the first sixty years.

Therefore, he went down to the court to see the excitement, and also to see his son who was getting stronger and stronger.

It's a nice flower indeed.The light red petals are like a funnel, filled with a faint fragrance, the leaves are slender, and the stems are as stubborn as bamboo.

"Sage, although this Jiazi peach implies preference, it is a bit vulgar. Since it is an imported product, it is better to change the name."

"What do the officials think is the appropriate name for this flower?"

"The flower stem has the strength of bamboo, so it's better..."

"Oleander."

Zhao Xi didn't intend to be evil at first, but when he heard his father and mother were sour, he suddenly interjected.

He was stunned when he said the words!
"Okay! Oleander, the name is appropriate. It seems that the saint has already made up his mind, and he still needs to borrow Xi'er."

Zhao Zhen would never have thought that this name was said by Zhao Xi himself.

I just thought it was a little love affair between husband and wife, to make a foreshadowing, to play hide and seek, and then to have a tacit understanding.Unfortunately, she was punctured by her son.

Putting aside the bad things about the court, such a small joke made Zhao Zhen happy.

"Official, this... this is not what I laid down in advance, it is Xi'er herself..."

Empress Cao didn't know how to express it anymore. When she heard Zhao Xi say oleander, she was shocked, she really wasn't pretending.

"Saint... really?"

At this time, Zhao Zhen also saw that the queen's expression was abnormal.

"Officials, I have never mentioned it. Xi'er has changed so much since she recovered from her illness that I can't count them in detail. They are all for the better, and I want to describe them in detail at an opportunity."

It was only at this time that Zhao Zhen remembered that since Xi'er recovered from illness, due to trivial matters in the court, he had neglected to get close to Xi'er.

"Xi'er, why is it so named?"

"Daddy, I don't know, I just said it casually."

Zhao Xi had to be coaxed again.well!Every time he speaks rashly, he has to find a way to deceive him.When is it a head?

"Xi'er likes this flower?"

"Daddy, the child doesn't like it, it's afraid."

Zhao Xi was worrying about how to explain this flower thoroughly.Maybe I can use the innate feeling of the little doll to count it down.Zhao Xi's reply stunned Zhao Zhen for a moment.

I thought that Xi'er named this flower because she loves it, but unexpectedly Xi'er said that she didn't like it and was afraid.

He looked at the queen, and the queen also had a look of surprise... It's not an entanglement, that's fine, it's just childish words.

Zhao Zhen was also afraid of entanglements.The court has just settled down a little bit, and if you have a moment of leisure, let your leisure last for a few more days.

"Auntie, brother Xi won't let Tao Niang touch this flower, it's poisonous."

what the hell!Zhao Xi forgot about this, and originally wanted to warn the chick, but he didn't expect that the old man came over, and he mixed up the matter by talking too much.

Alas, could it be that pretending to be a doll has degraded my IQ?
What Tao Niang said, let alone Zhao Zhen, even Empress Cao was dumbfounded.

Fear is a feeling, which can be attributed to the feeling of incompleteness in children.But if it is poisonous directly, it is not a problem of age, nor is it just a problem of children's cognition.

"saint……"

Zhao Zhen had to think about the entanglement again.Although the queen is virtuous, she will inevitably have some criticisms about her own preferences and practices.It is not impossible to gossip for a long time and make Xi'er feel resentful.

If so, Zhao Zhen would have to make another plan, especially regarding Xi'er's upbringing...

Therefore, Zhao Zhen's tone seemed to be a bit colder.

"Officials, I don't know."

How can Empress Cao not know?After thinking about it, what would this timid and suspicious man in my family think about Xi'er's words like this?
To say more is superfluous, and to explain is to cover up.Empress Cao was very straightforward and just said she didn't know.

Zhao Zhen also thought it should be impossible.As the head of the six palaces, the empress is quite exemplary and never gets involved in trivial matters.It has been like this for many years, so it won't be messed up now.

　Oleander, formerly known as Jiazi peach, is native to the Middle East, India and other places. It was introduced to my country in the [-]th century and appeared as a novelty in books.Do not spray
