July 25th is the birthday of Concubine Shu. Song Jianing remembered this day before she got married, because on that day, the wife would always talk about it. When she married Queen Shou, Song Jianing forgot it, but she accompanied Feng Zheng into the palace last time. To see Brother Sheng, Concubine Shu also came to the Central Palace as a guest to amuse the children. Empress Li accidentally asked if Concubine Shu was about to have her birthday, and Song Jianing remembered it again.

On the way out of the palace, Feng Zheng discussed with Song Jianing that the twenty-five concubines would enter the palace again, first to see Brother Sheng, and secondly to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Shu. After all, I heard it, not giving gifts, but the gifts do not need to be too heavy. On her birthday, Concubine Shu didn't even plan to hold a banquet, so she might just have a little fun in her palace.

Song Jianing agreed. On the relationship, Concubine Shu is the aunt of her nominal aunt, and her gifts need to be more attentive than Feng Zheng.

Returning to the palace to discuss with the prince, Zhao Heng did not object to this kind of politeness.

Song Jianing coaxed her daughter and embroidered a table screen of Songhe Yannian for Concubine Shu himself, and asked Liu Xi to find a rosewood screen frame, and the gift was ready. When embroidering, he carried the prince on his back. Now that everything is in order, Song Jianing deliberately replaced the original one in his house with this table screen to see if the prince could notice.

Song Jianing likes the prince to praise her, and he can't ask directly without being cheeky. He can only be careful.

In the evening, Zhao Heng returned to the palace, and first took a shower and changed clothes in the front yard to wash away the hustle and bustle contaminated in the palace. The veteran of the two dynasties, Zhao Pu, entered the capital and helped his father regain the throne. He immediately framed the emperor and solved the problems for his father. The father was relieved for two months, and finally he felt that Zhao Pu was too prestigious in the court, and he was embarrassed everywhere. , Began to deal with Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was the prime minister and the first civil servant. His father sealed the six prime ministers in one go. The four of their brothers only occupied names and had no real power. It was placed in the Ministry of Science and Technology to suppress Zhao Pu, Song Qi, and Song Qi. Li He is the one who really divides the power of Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu knew it well, but what about it, his father was the emperor, and he could only suffer.

Recalling the battles that had been on the sidelines that day, Zhao Heng leaned against the wall of the barrel, his eyes gradually blurred.

The Jiangshan in the Great Zhou Dynasty was taken by the emperor Gaozu, his uncle, from the younger emperor of the previous dynasty with the use of military power, and it took him more than ten years before the emperor Gaozu conquered the military power in his own hands. There are three main achievements of the uncle: one is to calm the world and unify the Central Plains, the other is to concentrate military power to eliminate the scourge of rebellion, and the third is to work hard for the people and win the hearts of the people.

The uncle Gaozu Emperor was the founder of the country, and Zhao Hengjing was proud of it.

As for the father...

Zhao Heng unconsciously squirted water on his body, with some sympathy in his heart. The father has the heart to claim the emperor, and he can inherit his uncle’s throne smoothly. This shows that the father has the means to be an emperor. However, the identity of the father’s younger brother and the problem of the father’s throne are destined to become the father’s shoulders. Burden on the top.

There are civil and military officials left by my uncle who want to win over or replace them, there are veterans of the two dynasties like Zhao Pu, threats from uncles and cousins, rumors and rumors from the people of Limin, and Liao and Xixia who want to defend, and so does the father Embarrassed. But the father and the emperor are alone, and no matter who their brothers will become the throne in the future, they will no longer have to worry about the throne, and they will only need to govern the country.

Therefore, the elder brother complained about his father's methods, Zhao Heng just watched silently, watching how his father fought with the people, with courtiers, and how to take care of the situation. Since the emperor father has become the emperor, as children, they shouldn't require him to be only a father, it is unfair to the emperor father.

The chaotic thoughts calmed down, and the surrounding water was cold. Zhao Heng got up, his eyes were restored to the fog of Su Ri, clear and not turbid. At first glance, he felt that his eyes were clear and quiet. Then he realized that no one could pass through it. With eyes, guessed what King Shou was thinking.

The moment Zhao Heng left the front yard, all he thought about was his princess and the little princess. They came to the back yard and saw his daughter's little face against the glazed window from a distance, and smiled at him. The corners of Zhao Heng's lips rose, unknowingly Hastened the pace. When he entered the door, he saw his daughter had climbed to the couch, and the princess was protecting her on the ground.

Zhaozhao shouted happily.

Zhao Heng picked up his daughter and kissed Song Jianing with his back.

Song Jianing walked to the table to pour him tea, and naturally led the prince here. Zhao Heng sat down, holding his daughter in one hand, and holding the tea bowl in the other. He glanced over the small screen on the table and the vivid crane on the screen inadvertently, and then he recognized it at a glance. Her words, her paintings, and her female celebrities all carry a unique agility.

Embroidered Songhe Yannian, it should be a birthday gift for Concubine Shu, but it is here...

Zhao Heng smiled and said to the table screen: "This is not bad. Send it to the front yard."

Song Jianing was shocked, and then became embarrassed. After thinking about it, he smiled and discussed: "This one is not embroidered properly. I will embroider another one for the prince?"

Zhao Heng looked at the table screen, shook his head, and wanted this.

Song Jianing hesitated, but the prince liked the things she embroidered so much, Song Jianing was still very happy, and said: "Okay, I will send it over tomorrow morning and put it in the study room?"

She gave up the gift so easily, Zhao Heng glanced at her unexpectedly, and then nodded.

"The prince will play with Zhaozhao first, I'll go outside to see." Song Jianing left with a complicated mood, and led her to her small storeroom, wanting to pick another suitable birthday gift for Concubine Shu, but the storeroom is all precious things. , I'm afraid Feng Zheng prepared embroideries. She sent them too heavy and embarrassed Feng Zheng.

After walking around the warehouse twice, Song Jianing did not find a suitable one.

Zhao Heng just wanted to tease her, but he didn't want her to eat, so he fed his daughter a bite, and he asked at random: "I will enter the palace tomorrow, my birthday?"

Song Jianing thought about it, but the table screen was the most suitable. Seeing that the prince seemed to be in a good mood, Song Jianing bit the bullet and said: "The prince, in fact, that table screen is actually the birthday gift I prepared for my mother. You see, give it to me, come back to me Can I embroider you with a better one?"

Zhao Heng pursed his lips.

Song Jianing regretted immediately, and said: "No, I'm another..."

"Okay." Zhao Heng interrupted her.

Song Jianing breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the man's unhappy face, Song Jianing was annoyed and worried, afraid that the prince would be angry. This worry continued until the bed, and the man lay his back to her, coldly. Song Jianing turned over several times, and finally felt really upset. He suddenly sat up, pushed his arm, and whispered: "Master, you really like that, or leave it to you. I will send it to the empress, you can pick it from the storeroom. That's it."

Why bother to upset the prince for a gift?

"No need." In the dim, Zhao Heng turned around, pulled her down, and then climbed up, biting her lip like punishment: "Tonight, make up for me."

Who is really angry with her? It's just to tease her, but she thinks too much and delays so long in vain.

"Stupid," he said into her ear with a messy breathing.

Song Jianing finally reacted, and his little hand gently punched him on the shoulder: "The prince is too bad..."

Who would have thought that the godlike prince would tease her?

All night long, Zhao Heng woke up in the dark and went to court the next day. Song Jianing slept until dawn before taking his daughter into the palace.

After sitting with Queen Li for a while, Song Jianing and Feng Zheng went to the Changchun Palace of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu did not expect that the two princesses would come to celebrate her birthday. For those who have been bored in the palace all the year round, whether it is true affection or politeness, the juniors remember her, and Concubine Shu is very happy, especially brother Sheng and brother. Zhaozhao and Zhaozhao are here, and the children are more beautiful than each other. Concubine Shu smiled and hugged the three grandchildren on the couch, and ordered them to bring cakes, which was as lively as the festival.

"Sansao seems to be fat again." Princess Duanhui looked at Song Jianing and said, without irony, just telling the truth. When she was a child, because her cousin was partial to Song Jianing, Princess Duanhui looked very uncomfortable with Song Jianing. Now Song Jianing is a princess in the Palace of Shou, there is nothing to offend her. The fifteen-year-old Princess Duanhui has also tempered her childhood temper.

Song Jianing touched her face and joked to herself: "I haven't been able to lose weight after giving birth to Zhaozhao."

"Jianing looks good only when he is fat." Concubine Shu hugged Zhaozhao, boasting with a smile.

At this moment, a little **** bowed his waist and walked in and said to Concubine Shu: "Niang Niang, the son is here to celebrate your birthday."

Song Jianing's eyes changed slightly, but Princess Duanhui ran out in surprise. She saw her good cousin standing in the yard, standing tall and erect, with broad shoulders, and becoming more and more prestigious.

"Cousin." Princess Duanhui called sweetly.

She was wearing a pomegranate red dress with bright features. Guo Xiao smiled. Shuang'er and the others who were waiting under the eaves of the porch were scanned. Guo Xiao walked in and asked in a low voice, "Aunty has a guest today?"

Princess Duanhui hummed, "Why did my cousin come here not long ago?" She raised her head and looked at Guo Xiao, his eyes were about to stick to Guo Xiao's face. In fact, Princess Duanhui hasn't lost his temper this year. It's not just that she is good to Song Jianing, because Princess Duanhui has a comfortable life, and her admiring cousin is more and more gentle towards her, and seems to like her too.

Feeling happy, occasionally the ladies of the palace make mistakes, Princess Duanhui is not as irritable as before.

"If you have something to report to the emperor, let's see my aunt again." Guo Xiao said. After saying that he signaled Princess Duanhui to go in, and he walked behind.

"Guo Xiao pays homage to my aunt and the two princesses." After entering the house, Guo Xiao respectfully saluted, his eyes falling on Song Jianing's skirt. Today was purely a chance encounter, but Guo Xiao cherished every opportunity to meet her. King Shou hid her too deeply. He saw her only a few times in a year.

"Exempt gifts, they are all relatives, don't need to be restrained." Concubine Shu said affectionately.

Guo Xiao stood up straight, took a quick glance at her, and then turned to the couch. The three children were all looking at him curiously. Guo Xiao only looked at her daughter and met Zhaozhao's watery apricot eyes, which looked very much like her. Guo Xiao looked gentle and smiled and asked his niece: "Does Zhaozhao still recognize his uncle? "

When he heard "Uncle", Zhao Zhao tilted his head and looked behind him, thinking that his uncle was here.

The girl is beautiful and cute, and Guo Xiao couldn't help but want to give a hug. Seeing his intention, Song Jianing suddenly walked over to hug his daughter, and politely resigned to Concubine Shu: "It is rare for the eldest brother to enter the palace. Auntie should talk to the eldest brother. I will come with my sister-in-law to accompany my aunt another day."

Concubine Shu really wanted to talk to her maiden nephew, so she agreed, touched Zhaozhao's head, and watched her leave.
