The lotus seed soup on the table was already cold, but the emperor did not come. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Empress Cao sat on the edge of the couch in a daze, with a disappointed look on her face.

She is the queen of the Great Song Dynasty and a wife, and she mixes spoons with her hands in order to enjoy and nourish her body after her husband is busy.

She wanted to be a caring wife, but unfortunately the emperor didn't give her this opportunity at all.

She didn't ask, but she knew very well in her heart where her husband went, and it must have been with Zhang Meiren in Yunjin Pavilion.

Zhang Meiren is pregnant, and it is reasonable for the official family to cherish it.

But for this woman, her husband Zhao Zhen cherishes it far more than other concubines, and she also knows the reason.

Zhang's family entered the palace since he was a child, raised by the palace man Jia's family, and was beautiful and good at singing and dancing.

I heard that when the queen was established, Zhao Zhen's original intention was to establish the Zhang family, but the Empress Dowager Liu insisted on choosing Guo Qingwu, the daughter of Pinglu Jiedu, and the Zhang family could only condescend to the position of the concubine.

Later, Empress Guo was deposed, and Zhao Zhen probably also had the idea of establishing the Zhang family as his successor, but in order to appease Jiangmen, he married himself into the palace.

Empress Cao always has a good idea of her identity and positioning.

His own existence is the link between the royal family and the generals, maintaining the honor of the generals led by the Cao family, and ensuring the royal control of the generals and nobles.

But Queen Cao is not only satisfied with this, she wants to play the stunning role of a good wife, and she wants to be a mother in the world.

So first of all, the problem that needs to be solved urgently is the problem of children, the husband is in his thirties, and there is no prince under his knees, which is very dangerous.

What is even more terrifying for her is that having no children can be used as a reason for the abolition, in the first few years of entering the palace, her stomach has not moved, and she really panicked.

In the past few years, she has been working hard to regulate her body, after all, she is only twenty-seven years old this year, which is still the golden age for a woman to give birth.

After a few years of conditioning, the body has improved a lot, and today is also a good day, as long as the husband comes to share the bed, the possibility of conception is still very great.

It's a pity that the husband went to Zhang's place to guard the unborn child, even if it was just to accompany Zhang Meiren, who was pregnant and couldn't sleep, but he didn't give him a chance to conceive and give birth.

Perhaps, her husband Zhao Zhen did it on purpose.

Empress Cao couldn't help but speculate like this, maybe her husband was expressing his dissatisfaction with himself in this way, or even punishing him.

Back then, he advocated that Zhao Zongshi, the thirteenth son of Runan Palace, be brought into the palace to raise, and her husband seemed to have always been suspicious.

Recalling the old events, Empress Cao admitted that she was selfish, worried that she had no children and that her position as queen was unstable, so she followed the example of the old thing about raising King Runan.

But later, after the birth of several princes, Zhao Zhen immediately sent Zhao Zongshi back to the palace, and she clearly realized that her husband had always wanted to have a child of his own.

For this reason, she has been working hard and hired a famous doctor to regulate her body, but her husband has been indifferent to her injuries in the past two years, and she is rarely pampered, how can she get pregnant?

Now that he is twenty-seven years old, it is becoming more and more difficult to give birth, and he can only watch other concubines, especially Zhang's giving birth one after another.

Because the two princesses died young, the Zhang family invited themselves to be reduced to beauties, but as long as this child gives birth to a son, all the glory and favor will be restored immediately, and even the mother is expensive with the son......

Thinking of this, Empress Cao suddenly clenched her fists, her heart trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

……

When Zhao Zhen came to Yunjin Pavilion, Zhang Meiren hurriedly came out to greet him with the support of the maid.

At the age of twenty, she is fresh and elegant, if you don't say that you can't tell that she has given birth to two children, and now she still has a baby bump in her belly.

The background is not very high, but he has been in the palace for many years and is deeply favored by the emperor, so Zhang's body is a little more graceful and noble. It's just that at this moment, her face is slightly pale, and it is not very obvious.

"What's wrong with you?" When Zhao Zhen saw this scene, his face suddenly became much more solemn, and he immediately asked with concern.

"It's okay, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, it's just that the weather is a little hot and I'm tired." Zhang Meiren waved her hand gently, indicating that she was out of the way.

"Please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look, you have a body now, don't be careless."

Zhang Meidao: "No need, the imperial doctor came at noon, and I read some appetizing recipes for the concubine, and I have already taken a dose, but it will take time for the effect." ”

"Well, it's hot, and you have a body, so it's naturally worse if you don't have an appetite." As he spoke, Zhao Zhen suddenly stopped and said, "Why is it so hot in your dormitory?" Didn't use ice? ”

The attendant on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is not much ice in the palace this year, and the share of each palace is less......"

"Less is less, how can there be less here?"

"Your Majesty forgives me, Niangniang is ...... now" The waiter did not continue, the Zhang family is just a beauty now, and her status is indeed not high.

Zhao Zhen just wanted to say something, Zhang Meiren waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is pregnant, and it is not good if the cold is too heavy...... That's what the Imperial Physician said. ”

"Then you can put more ice cubes in the outer hall, and you can feel a little cooler through the beaded curtain screen."

"Your Majesty, it was so warm last winter, and it was hot early this year, how can there be so many ice ...... in the palace" Zhang Meidao: "In addition to Your Majesty's vertical arch hall, the queen mother gave all the ice to the palace room with pregnancy and children, I'm afraid there is no superfluity." “

"That's it!" Zhao Zhen responded lightly, and immediately knew what to expect, and after a moment of silence, he ordered: "Send someone to inquire tomorrow about who has ice in the ice cellar in the city, and let the inner government buy more in." ”

"Yes!"

……

Xue Zong came home at night, and the old grandmother really hadn't fallen asleep yet, and it seemed that she was very concerned about her grandson.

"The grandson came back late, which made the grandmother worry."

Xue Mengshi asked in a low voice, "It's okay, there is a lot of homework on the first day of school?" ”

"Makes grandmother smile." Xue Zong smiled and said, "No, I met a few classmates today, and we got together for a while at night." ”

"I see, you're old, and you have to socialize." Xue Mengshi nodded and said, "It's just that you have to be cautious when making friends, you should be careful yourself." ”

"Grandchildren saved."

"Also, you're not young anymore, you get together with friends at night, and it doesn't matter if you go in and out of a little place, but you have to be moderate, and you can't be serious."

The old grandmother is really sharp-eyed, and she can see where she has gone? What's the problem?

There are absolutely no obvious traces such as lip prints on the body, but they are ...... When he smelled the faint smell of lilacs, Xue Zong suddenly woke up.

Smelling the fragrance and knowing people, Xue Zong had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

Seeing this, Xue Mengshi smiled and said: "You are an adult now, when your father's death day is over, I will ask someone to tell you that the family affairs are serious, and my Xue family's heirs are thin, waiting for you to ......"

Uh, why is this coming again? Xue Zong was deeply helpless about this.

"Okay, let's rest, I'm going to school early tomorrow morning!" Xue Mengshi smiled and watched Xue Zong return to the room.

……

I slept until dawn and woke up just as the morning sun was rising.

In summer, the days are long and the sun rises early, so I am not in a hurry to go to school.

Xue Zong finished breakfast at home slowly and methodically, and especially supervised Yun'er to eat an egg and a small bowl of milk.

Although Yun'er didn't like the taste of cow's milk very much, she was forced by Xue Zong to drink it with a resentful face.

"Be obedient and obedient, and only after drinking can you grow up quickly." Xue Zong comforted, and then went out in Yun'er's "resentment" and reluctant eyes.

The willow trees on both sides of the Bianhe River are swaying, the scenery is quite beautiful, and the boats on the river have been coming and going, and the boatmen are complaining while carefully handling the boats.

Since the beginning of spring, there hasn't been any decent rain near Tokyo, and now the water level of the river is much lower than usual.

If the water is shallow, you must be careful when sailing, otherwise you will be affected by the mud and stones below, and the ship will be grounded at least and the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

The boatmen were really worried, if this situation continued, would they be able to sail in the autumn?

Xue Zong, who was walking on the bank, didn't know the worries of the boatmen, and he didn't pay much attention to the water level of the Bianhe River, after all, he had only been in the Great Song Dynasty for a few months, and he didn't know much about the water level of the Bianhe River in previous years.

The weather is hot, but it doesn't seem to be bad, the ice business at home can be surprisingly good these days, and I can't ask for it!
