Chapter 231 Two Children Reading and Practicing Calligraphy
"Your Majesty, this is also because of Wen Yi. Your Majesty doesn't know that Wen Yi is rarely willing to go out and doesn't meet the children in the palace very often."
"Wen Lin and his two children get along well with each other. Wen Lin has also lived in my palace for a few days."
"I see. However, Wen Lin has been raised by Concubine Shu since she was born. Whether she can stay or not is naturally decided by Concubine Shu. After Yi Xiu finished speaking, her eyes turned to An Lingrong."
"An Lingrong followed with a smile, "Your Majesty, although Wen Lin is raised by me, the child's thoughts are naturally the most important. I will naturally not refuse to let Wen Yi accompany me."
"Well, you can discuss it among yourselves," Yixiu said without caring about it. She waved her hand and was about to speak when Su Peisheng's voice came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"
"After hearing this, Yixiu stopped what she was about to say and led everyone to stand up. As soon as the emperor entered the door, she knelt and said: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
The emperor waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, stand up!"
Thank you, Your Majesty!
"After thanking them all, Yixiu sat on the stool brought by Jianqiu and said with a smile: Your Majesty, you came at a good time. I was just discussing with my sisters about going to the garden this year."
Well, have you decided who will stay in the palace this year?
"Your Majesty, it has just been decided that this year Concubine Jing will stay in the palace to assist in the affairs of the six palaces. As for the concubines below, who will go and who will not go will naturally be decided by Your Majesty."
"The emperor nodded after hearing this. Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Jing. The children must be taken with you. The birth mothers of these princesses and princes must also come with you. As for the others, the emperor can do whatever he wants."
"Yes, but Your Majesty, where is the Queen Mother? Should I ask someone to ask her?"
"The Empress Dowager is getting old, and I'm afraid she won't want to move anymore. But the children have all gone to the garden, so the Empress Dowager will inevitably feel lonely. Concubine Shu, please go to Shoukang Palace later. If you can persuade the Empress Dowager to come along, that would be the best."
An Lingrong stood up and knelt down, saying, "Yes, I will take the children to Shoukang Palace."
"Well, I'm naturally relieved when you do the job." The emperor responded and then asked, "Why don't you see the imperial concubine?"
"Your Majesty forgot that since the imperial concubine gave birth to the princess, she has not taken care of palace affairs. Today we are discussing going to the garden. I did not ask someone to bring her along."
"Yes! The Imperial Concubine and Minghui will naturally follow. I will ask everyone to go to the Yikun Palace later. The Queen does not need to worry about the Imperial Concubine."
Yes.
"I heard that the two children followed the Queen to learn calligraphy. How many days have they been practicing? I wonder how they are doing?"
"Zhao'er and Jun'er are still young, Your Majesty, don't be so impatient. Yixiu smiled and replied, "Although the two children are young, they are very serious in learning."
Your Majesty, please wait. Once there are some results, I will naturally seek credit from Your Majesty.
"Yixiu is just joking, let alone in front of everyone." The emperor felt a strange feeling in his heart when he heard it.
"I reached out and patted Yixiu's hand. Queen, you have worked hard. It's just like this. I am happy to see it."
"With just these few words, Yixiu's eyes flashed with confusion. Yes, I just did some small things, but I made the emperor so happy. I am ashamed."
"The Queen has set a good example. You should all put the Queen first in everything. I don't want to see the harem in chaos. When I go back, I will make it clear to the concubines in my palace and ask them to behave themselves."
"After the emperor finished speaking, several people stood up and knelt down to respond, "Your servants respectfully follow the emperor's instructions."
Get up, everyone!
"The emperor waved his hand, and Yixiu followed and said: Your Majesty, there are many concubines in the palace now. Since all the sisters are here, Your Majesty might as well take the trouble to decide who will go to the garden this time."
"Yi Xiu mentioned this sentence for the second time today. It is obvious that she is not like before. She will take the trouble to figure out the other party's thoughts and think about which concubine to go to."
"Obviously, the other party has not been moved by the emperor's words. It seems that now all his thoughts are on Hongzhao and Hongjun."
"An Lingrong looked at the expressions of the couple above and found them extremely strange."
Could it be that the Queen's appearance really changed so easily?
"But before An Lingrong could come up with any conclusions, the Emperor spoke up; Well, Queen, tell me, what do you think?"
"After hearing this, Yixiu smiled and said, 'Your Majesty, in my opinion, the garden is bigger than the palace. Anyone who wants to go can go. It's better than some people can go and some can't, which would cause criticism from the sisters.'"
"It makes His Majesty Tu Zhen worried. At this point, Yixiu turned her head and glanced at the emperor. Seeing that he had no intention of refusing, she continued: Except for Concubine Jing, who will take Wen Yi and Wen Lin to stay in the palace, everyone present will go."
"Everyone below the rank of concubine is young and suitable for childbearing. Although there are many children in the palace now, the royal family has never said that they dislike children. I think it is better to take care of them all."
"If that sister is lucky enough to get pregnant, it will be a happy thing. What do you think, Your Majesty?" The emperor naturally looked like he had nothing to worry about. He nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have appointed the Imperial Concubine, and the next one is the Concubine. Concubine Qi and the Third Prince will naturally go with them. Your Majesty, will Concubine Wan go this time?"
"After listening for so long, and knowing Yixiu's words, An Lingrong finally realized that the other party had finally revealed his purpose for today."
"An Lingrong naturally knew that the emperor intended to go to another Buddhist temple, but since that day, it has not been possible until now."
Of course, An Lingrong couldn't rush to ask why Zhen Huan was not allowed to move to the Buddhist temple?
"So the emperor didn't mention it, and the matter was left alone. Even An Lingrong forgot that Zhen Huan was going to be moved somewhere else."
Hearing Yixiu mention it, I couldn't help but feel curious. What was the other party's purpose?
"I glanced at the emperor and saw his face darken. I became even more curious. Could it be that he really would never treat Zhen Huan with such politeness again?"
"No matter what, the other party has a princess. Does the emperor just ignore it? Concubine Wan is not feeling well and cannot move easily. She doesn't need to go to the garden with me this time."
"The emperor was silent for a moment, then he swung the jade beads in his hand and said: "This sentence made the faces of the people sitting in the hall change a little."
"After being favored for so many years, it's really disheartening to see such a change."
"After deciding on the matter of the garden, everyone stood up and said goodbye. An Lingrong returned to Chengqian Palace and not long after, she took Hongzhao to Shoukang Palace."
"I took Hong Zhao halfway and said as I walked, Zhao'er will go to the garden in a few days. Today I went to Shoukang Palace to ask the Queen Mother's opinion. Does Zhao'er want to go to the garden with the Royal Madam?"
"Hong Zhao looked up at An Lingrong and asked, 'Mother, are you planning to ask the Empress Dowager to go with you?'"
"You little brat, it was your mother who asked you, why are you asking your mother back? It's your Royal Father, who wanted you to speak up because of the heat in Bauhinia City. Please agree, Grandmother, and let's go to the garden together."
Hong Zhao nodded, and his son understood.
The mother and son entered Shoukang Palace chatting and laughing.
"Zhu Xi had been waiting at the entrance of the main hall. When he saw the two of them come in, he hurried over to greet them, knelt down and said with a smile: "I pay my respects to the Concubine Shu and to the Sixth Prince."
"Aunt, please excuse me. I wonder if the Queen Mother is free right now. Zhao'er is clamoring to see her."
"After hearing this, Zhuxi glanced at Hongzhao and smiled from ear to ear. As long as the Sixth Prince wanted to see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother did not refuse, the Queen Mother Shufei, Sixth Prince, please come. The Queen Mother has been waiting for you."
"Hong Zhao thanked Zhu Xi with a smile, let go of An Lingrong's hand, and ran while shouting, "Madam, Madam, Zhao'er is here."
She rushed through the door in a few steps, and ran all the way to the Queen Mother, "Royal Madam..."
"Such a lovely sight, the Queen Mother was so happy that her eyes curved with laughter. Oh, why are you running so fast, fairy? Aren't you afraid of falling?"
"Hong Zhao looked up at the Queen Mother with a sincere expression, "Madam, Zhao'er misses you and wants to see you sooner!"
Good boy, isn’t the Imperial Mama in Shoukang Palace? Zhao’er thought, “See her. She can come anytime.” Hongzhao climbed onto the bed and said, “Imperial Mama, mother came with Zhao’er.”
"After Hong Zhao finished speaking, An Lingrong slowly walked into the hall, came up to her, knelt down and said, 'Your Highness pays respects to the Queen Mother.'"
Forget it, get up, thank you, Queen Mother.
"After saying this, An Lingrong stood up and walked to sit opposite the Queen Mother. She glanced at Hong Zhao who was leaning against the Queen Mother and said, 'It is the time for the Queen Mother to worship Buddha. I am sorry to have come at an inopportune time and disturbed her.'"
You don’t have to worry about the time when you worship Buddha, and Concubine Shu doesn’t have to worry about these things!
"The Queen Mother waved her hand again and said, 'It is estimated that it is time to go to the garden to escape the summer heat. Is Concubine Shu bringing Hongzhao to bid farewell to me today?'"
Queen Mother, I am not here to say goodbye!
An Lingrong smiled and responded, turning her eyes to her son. Hong Zhao immediately understood and held the empress dowager's arm. "Madam, Zhao'er came here today to invite you to go to the garden together..."
"The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she smiled; you child, the Queen Mother is old and too lazy to move, Zhao'er is still young and should go to the garden to see the beautiful scenery."
Hong Zhao tilted his head and looked at the Queen Mother's arm. "Grandma wants to go to the garden, but it takes several months each time. Grandma can't bear not to see Grandma for so long..."
"Speaking of this, Hong Zhao half-knelt and sat up straight. The Royal Mother must be reluctant to not be able to see her grandson for such a long time!"
"The Queen Mother looked at Hong Zhao's expression and reached out to touch his face. Well, Zhao'er has spoken, so there is no reason for me not to respond. Can you decide when to leave, Concubine Shu?"
"Queen Mother, today the Queen Mother summoned us, and only decided who would go to the garden, but not the time. However, the Queen Mother said that it will be hot early this year, so it must be soon."
"An Lingrong smiled as if she was embarrassed when she said this. This child is clinging to the Queen Mother and doesn't want to be separated for a long time. I really can't persuade her, and I'm sorry to make it difficult for the Queen Mother."
What you said is not right. Zhao'er is thinking about me, so how could I feel embarrassed?
"Yes, I made a mistake."
"An Lingrong responded with a smile, but she was not surprised by the result."
"The Queen Mother is of noble status. Even if she travels, she will follow the best rules. The Emperor will never wrong the Queen Mother. So, whether she stays in the palace or goes to the garden, to be honest, there is not much difference."
The fatigue from traveling by boat and train only refers to concubines of lower status.
"The carriages used by the Queen Mother are all of the best, so how can we be so tired?"
"But I have completed the emperor's order, and it also puts my mind at ease."
"It's settled that we're going to the garden. Mother and son accompanied the Queen Mother to have dinner in Shoukang Palace before returning to Chengqian Palace together."
"Just as I entered the palace, I saw Su Peisheng standing at the entrance of the main hall from afar. An Lingrong pulled Na Hong's hand and said with a smile, Zhao'er, your royal father is here, go quickly!"
"Hong Zhao responded, let go of An Lingrong's hand, and trotted away. When An Lingrong entered the room, the father and son were already sitting together, holding a copy of the Three Character Classic, one teaching the other, reading with great interest."
"The emperor is coming, why didn't you send someone to Shoukang Palace to announce it? Instead, the emperor has been waiting here for a long time. I had dinner in Yanxi Palace and didn't have to wait long."
"The Empress Dowager likes this child. I can't just not allow Zhao'er to stay in Shoukang Palace for such a short period of time."
"Seeing that the emperor was still in the mood to joke, I knew that the other party had good intentions. Then he started to laugh and said: The emperor had dinner but did not stay overnight, and Concubine Qi must be angry."
