A low-grade concubine like Zhou, whose status is similar to that of a female official, is only a hundred or so per year, only enough for basic living expenses, and it is impossible to be extravagant, as for Zhao Xu, who has not yet obtained any title, the treatment is even worse, and she depends on her mother Zhou's support.

Three hundred taels of gold is almost equivalent to more than 4,000 copper coins, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for Zhao Xu's family, who are living in poverty.

Zhao Xu glanced at the dazzling gold on the tray, and then at the Zhou family standing behind Tian Wen, and saw that he shook his head slightly.

Although he felt a little sorry for the golden gold, he still reluctantly refused: "I don't want this money, please ask Tian Dian's envoy to bring it back." ”

Tian Wen smiled and said: "This is a little bit of the saint's heart, isn't the Seven Princes too little?" ”

"Tian Dian's envoy misunderstood, Huayi Emperor Ji is my sister after all, my brother should save my sister, how can I ask for compensation?"

"It's just that if the Seventh Prince doesn't want it, the saint will be unhappy!"

Zhao Xu smiled apologetically and said, "I know, thank the saint for his kindness, but I still don't want to, I didn't save Sister Huayi to get paid." ”

Zhao Xu understands that this money must not be wanted, and if you ask for it, the nature of saving people will change, and it will also be despised by the concubines and concubines of the back court, and it will not be taken by the wise.

Seeing Zhao Xu's resolute attitude, Tian Wen knew that it was difficult to persuade, so he couldn't help but turn around and set his eyes on Zhou.

"The meaning of Xu'er is also the meaning of the concubine." Zhou said calmly.

……

Ciyuan Hall.

Queen Wang was dressed in a robe, a shawl around her neck, a high hairpin with cloud temples, and a golden step on her head, she was standing under the eaves and looking over, and saw Huayi coming over under the guidance of the palace maid, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "My sweetheart, you went to the Qinghe Courtyard without saying hello, and when you came back so late, you were about to kill the concubine!" ”

When Huayi came closer, Queen Wang took her hand and walked into the hall, complaining.

Huayi playfully stuck out his tongue: "Seventh brother was injured because of his daughter, and his daughter always wants to go to see it." ”

Queen Wang said disapprerovingly: "It's just a cheap concubine born in the palace, let Tian Wen go to visit and thank you, and the good baby of the palace will go in person!" ”

"The mother's words are a little mean, that's a life-saving grace! My daughter will go to see it again tomorrow! ”

When Queen Wang heard that Huayi wanted to go again, she lowered her face and showed a look of dismay.

"Don't go again!"

Huayi asked, "Why?" ”

Queen Wang said: "The mother concubine will compensate for the life-saving grace, but after all, the seventh prince is from a humble background, and it is better for the kite to deal less with him, so as not to use this to cling to him and give birth to any undivided thoughts!" ”

Huayi frowned and said, "Just for this reason? ”

Queen Wang put on a face and said: "Mother doesn't care, anyway, you can't go anymore, at most, the mother concubine will send a few more waiters and Lang Zhong to take care of it, and let the waiter tell you about his physical condition every day." ”

Hua Yi pulled the sleeve of the queen and begged: "Won't the mother concubine be accommodating anymore?" ”

"There is no room for negotiation!" Queen Wang was unmoved, but seeing Hua Yi's eyes slightly red, she looked like she wanted to sob, and her heart suddenly softened for no reason, she couldn't help but slow down her tone and said: "It's not that the mother concubine doesn't let you move around with the princes, like the prince and the king of Yun, they can still be close to them."

Nayun Wang was born to the noble concubine Xiao Wang, although the background is not as noble as the mother concubine, fortunately, he is smart and intelligent, talented and civil, and has always been loved by your father and the emperor, if the kite is in harmony with them, no matter which of them is the emperor in the future, after a hundred years of the mother concubine, you can take care of you, and I am not afraid of who dares to bully my daughter. ”

"Mother, you are so philistine, too affectionate!"

Huayi shook off Queen Wang's hand, hid his face and ran away.

"Kite ......"

The queen wanted to call again, but Emperor Huayi was nowhere to be found.

At this time, the inner supervisor Tian Wen also returned to the Ciyuan Hall with the rest of the eunuchs.

As soon as he saw the queen, Tian Wen fell to the ground, crying and mourning: "The slave and maid are not doing a good job, please punish the saint!" ”

Queen Wang raised her eyebrows, squinted and asked, "Money confiscation?" ”

Tian Wen nodded with a bitter face.

"This palace has underestimated this mother and son."

Raising her eyes and looking in the direction of the Qinghe Courtyard, Queen Wang's face was quite surprised.

……

Blue Lotus Temple.

After sending off the waiter Tian Wen, Zhou personally went to the kitchen to boil some corn porridge for Zhao Xu, watching his son gobble up, Zhou's mouth kept saying "eat slowly", but his eyes were full of endless love.

It wasn't until Zhao Xu ate three bowls and burped that Zhou returned to his bedroom to rest, because of Aiko's injury, she hadn't closed her eyes for two days and one night, and she saw that Aiko had a strong appetite and was conscious, knowing that it was completely fine, so she was relieved.

Zhou and Concubine Xiao Liu used to be the maid of the Duan Wang's house, and they had a good relationship with each other, and they had promised each other to "be rich and noble in the future, and do not forget to carry each other", and after the Duan King Zhao Ji ascended the throne as the emperor, Xiao Liu won the favor of the official family with his outstanding talent and beauty, and was awarded the title of Concubine Shu.

The favored little Concubine Liu did not forget the best friends who shared weal and woe with her in the past, and did everything possible to match the Zhou family with the official family and create opportunities for coexistence, but unfortunately because of Zhou's mediocre appearance, she never got into the eyes of the official family.

Concubine Liu had no choice but to take advantage of the emperor's drunkenness to replace Zhou with herself who served the emperor for one night, and the clinker was just this night, so that Zhou was pregnant with the dragon seed, and finally successfully gave birth to the emperor's seventh son, Zhao Xu.

It's a pity that after this, the official family has never been fortunate to her, fortunately thanks to Zhao Ji, the historical Song Huizong is not too affectionate, for the sake of the Zhou family giving birth to the prince, gave her the title of a talented person, although the status in the palace is not high, it is much stronger than the palace maid and the maid, and there is no need to be enslaved every day, and look at people's faces everywhere.
