The death of Empress Zhang also dealt an extremely heavy blow to Zhao Zhen, and even he did not go to court for half a month, Empress Dowager Li and Li Zhang and others could not bear to persuade him, so they could only try to let people take care of Zhao Zhen's body, but in the end, Lu Yijian and other ministers knelt in front of Zhao Zhen's bedroom and begged bitterly, which made Zhao Zhen have to cheer up again, after all, he is not only the husband of Empress Zhang, but also the emperor of the whole world.

The first thing Zhao Zhen cheered up was to deal with the funeral of Empress Zhang, and to give Empress Zhang the nickname "Empress Cisheng Guangxiao", and at the same time, Zhao Zhen also broke the previous convention and ordered the construction of the imperial mausoleum in advance, because the imperial mausoleum of the Great Song Dynasty was generally built after the death of the emperor, and it must be completed within seven months, but Zhao Zhen broke this convention in order to bury Empress Zhang, and ordered that he would be buried with Empress Zhang after his death.

For Zhao Zhen's behavior of breaking the rules, many ministers wrote to admonish, but Zhao Zhen didn't listen at all, and finally Lu Yijian also stopped the ministers from writing again, after all, Zhao Zhen is now in the pain of losing his wife, and he can't listen to the advice of others at all, and although the construction of the imperial mausoleum in advance is not in accordance with the rules, it also avoids the problem of too hasty construction of the imperial mausoleum in the future, such as when Zhao Heng's imperial mausoleum was built, the great eunuch Lei Yungong was pulled off the horse, and then the prime minister Ding Wei was implicated.

However, in addition to Zhao Zhen, the most pitiful is the prince Zhao Fang, this little prince was born without a mother, fortunately, there is also Empress Dowager Li, as a grandmother, Empress Dowager Li took Zhao Fang with her side to take care of her, but on this day Empress Dowager Li summoned Li Zhang into the palace.

"See Auntie!" Li Zhang also saluted immediately when he saw the Empress Dowager Li, accompanied by Qingzhi and An Ran, after all, this is the inner palace, if it weren't for the special circumstances of Empress Zhang's birth before, it would be difficult for Li Zhang to come in, but it is normal to bring his wife and children to visit the Empress Dowager Li.

"Auntie and grandmother hug!" As soon as Li Zhang's words fell, he saw An Ran stretching out two little fat hands and ran towards the Empress Dowager Li, which made the Empress Dowager Li also happy, and immediately hugged An Ran and kissed a few times, and hung the pearl necklace around the neck of the child.

"Auntie, don't give anything to Enron, she can't use it now, it's a pity to give her such a big pearl." Qingzhi also hurriedly persuaded when she saw this, Empress Dowager Li likes children, and every time she sees An Ran, she is very happy, and the things she sends are almost piled up in a room.

"It's okay, keep it for the child, you can make a dowry in the future!" Empress Dowager Li smiled and waved her hand, and after speaking, she also asked Zhao Fang to be taken out, but An Ran looked at the little guy with wide eyes, and reached out to touch it but was a little afraid to touch it.

"An Ran, this is your brother, you can't bully him in the future!" Empress Dowager Li introduced An Ran with a smile at this time, Qingzhi looked at this child but showed a sad look, she had also entered the palace to see Empress Zhang before, but she didn't expect her to die so early, and she left such a hard-working child.

An Ran didn't understand too much, and she didn't even understand what her brother meant, but this didn't prevent her from being curious about the little guy, at this time, with the encouragement of the Empress Dowager Li, she also boldly reached out and poked the little guy's pink little face, but Zhao Fang reacted very quickly, and actually grabbed An Ran's little hand, An Ran was also very bold, not only was she not angry at this time, but she also felt very interesting, it is estimated that in her eyes Zhao Fang is a big toy that can move.

Seeing the interaction between the two little guys, Empress Dowager Li didn't know what to think, and then wiped her tears, Li Zhang just wanted to persuade when she saw this, but she didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to take the initiative to say at this time: "Zhang'er, there is something I want you to do me a favor!" ”

"Aunt is polite, if there is anything you can command!" When Li Zhang heard this, he immediately said that it was definitely not a trivial matter to make Empress Dowager Li speak, and at this time, Qingzhi immediately pulled Zhao Fang, and then took An Ran to the side to play.

Looking at the background of Qingzhi's departure, Empress Dowager Li also nodded with satisfaction, she liked this smart and courteous niece very much, but seeing Qingzhi reminded her of her daughter-in-law who died early, which made her sigh.

"Actually, this matter is also related to Fang'er, I don't know if you noticed it, Your Majesty seems to have a little dislike for Fang'er." At this time, Empress Dowager Li finally told the reason why she was looking for Li Zhang.

Li Zhang also frowned when he heard this, in fact, he had already discovered that since the death of Empress Zhang, Zhao Zhen was not very affectionate to Zhao Fang's son, at least not like a father should behave, and the reason Li Zhang could guess.

"I also found out about what my aunt said, in fact, even if my aunt doesn't mention it, I will find a chance to talk to Your Majesty, but during this time, Your Majesty is very sad about the death of the queen, and I have to hold on to my body to deal with government affairs, and I can't bear to put pressure on him anymore, so I didn't go to Your Majesty for the time being." Li Zhang sighed again at the end.

"I also feel sorry for Your Majesty, but now Fang'er has no mother when she was born, if Your Majesty doesn't care about him as a father, then Fang'er is too pitiful." Empress Dowager Li also wiped her tears when she said this, she felt sorry for her son and grandson, and even because of this matter in the past few days, she didn't think about it, so she came to Li Zhang to discuss.

Li Zhang also turned his head when he heard this, and glanced at Zhao Fang, who was hugged by Qingzhi, and sighed secretly at the moment, this child is indeed very hard, when Empress Zhang was pregnant with him, she almost had a miscarriage, and when she gave birth to him, she was born prematurely and dystocia, and finally Empress Zhang gave birth to him with one life for another, but Zhao Zhen had a knot in her heart because of this incident, if this matter is allowed to develop, maybe it will be another palace tragedy in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang also secretly pondered, and after a while, he finally raised his head and said, "That's it, I'll take An Ran to see Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Empress Dowager Li immediately understood what he meant, and nodded approvingly at the moment, and then Li Zhang came to Qingzhi and found that An Ranzheng and Zhao Fang were babbling and didn't know what to say, maybe this is a unique language among children.

At that moment, Li Zhang and Qingzhi confessed, and then hugged An Ran and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Zhao Fang to be unwilling to leave Anran, so he stretched out his little hand and kept shouting, fortunately, there was a nurse next to him to pick him up and breastfeed, which distracted the little guy's attention.

Li Zhang hugged An Ran and went straight to the Vertical Arch Palace, it was almost noon now, usually at this time the deliberations were over, Zhao Zhen should also be in the hall to review the folds, so Li Zhang also walked in directly, but to his surprise, in addition to Zhao Zhen today, there was another person in the hall.
