Chapter 136: Zhang Guiyi's Birthday Gift (I)

Zhao Yan was lying in the carriage, his hands behind his head, one leg on the other, swaying with the vibration of the carriage, and at the same time humming an unknown song in his mouth, it could be seen that he was in a good mood now.

The successful test firing of the ballista, the power shown made him very satisfied, Zhao Shu and the others were also very excited after seeing it, now the mass production of the ballista has been approved, it is estimated that the army will be equipped soon, as for the matter after equipping the army, it has nothing to do with him, the idle king.

In addition, what made Zhao Yan even happier was the sentence that Zhao Shu told him at the end, Zhang Guiyi is Zhao Yan's biological mother, not many people know about it, at least in Zhao Shu's opinion, Zhao Yan didn't know about it, today he saw Zhao Yan design such a powerful weapon, and he took the initiative to remind him to prepare a gift for Zhang Guiyi, which also shows that in Zhao Shu's heart, there is still a little guilt about the fact that Zhao Yan and Zhang Guiyi's mother and son can't recognize each other, which is good news for Zhao Yan, maybe he will make some contributions in the future. can make Zhao Shu approve him and Zhang Guiyi to recognize each other, although Zhao Yan himself may not care much about this matter, but for Zhang Guiyi's poor woman, it is a great joy.

Thinking of Zhang Guiyi's biological mother, Zhao Yan thought of the birthday gifts he had prepared for her before, among which those ordinary gifts had been prepared by Lao Fu, and there was also a very special gift, but he needed to prepare it himself, and he had made a lot of preparations before in order to prepare this gift.

By the time Zhao Yan returned to the courtyard outside the city, it was already past dinner time. Usually at this time, it is the time when he urges Zhao Yingning to exercise after meals, Zhao Yan thought that according to Zhao Yingning's lazy and greedy character, he would definitely be lazy when he was not at home, so he didn't care about eating at all, so he went to Zhao Yingning to prepare to let her run a few laps first, but what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that Zhao Yingning was not in her room, and after asking the maid, she found out that the other party actually took the initiative to go to the garden for a run.

Hearing this news, Zhao Yan also couldn't believe it. Now it's time to come to the garden. As a result, as soon as he came to the gate of the garden, he heard a heavy running sound from inside, and then he saw Zhao Yingning's fat figure running past the gate of the garden, and what surprised Zhao Yan even more. Behind Zhao Yingning. even followed Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an, and Princess Shoukang. Seeing that they were panting, they probably ran for a while.

"Why did you three run on the road too?" Zhao Yan walked into the garden and called Cao Ying and asked.

Cao Ying's three daughters are usually rare to exercise, and their body is even inferior to Zhao Yingning, who has been running for a month. Now when I saw Zhao Yan coming in, I stopped one by one, and then took a few breaths and said, "Didn't Husband say that life lies in movement?" My second sister and third sister and I also felt that we ate more and moved less during this time, so we ran a few laps with my cousin. ”

Hearing Cao Ying's words, Zhao Yan also felt very relieved, it seemed that his attitude towards sports had finally affected the people around him. But then he frowned and asked, "Lady, how much did you eat for dinner today, and how long has it been now?" ”

"We had a full dinner, and like my cousin, we didn't start exercising until half an hour later." At this time, Princess Shoukang also spoke, in fact, she is usually more active, and she will ride a horse and shoot arrows from time to time, so she doesn't need extra exercise, just to accompany her sister and Cao Ying, so she ran a few laps together.

However, when Zhao Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "How can you compare with your cousin?" She can only drink a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup for dinner, so you can exercise after half an hour, but you are very full, in this case, it is okay to take a slow walk, but running vigorously like you is not good for the body, and it can even cause stomach pain, so the three of you don't run anymore, and after you get up tomorrow morning, I will teach you a more gentle way of exercising. ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying and the three of them were also startled, they didn't expect that there was so much emphasis on exercise, and they no longer exercised at the moment, but sat on the side and watched Zhao Yingning sweating running, what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that he usually only asked Zhao Yingning to run three laps, but after he came in, the other party had already run more than three laps, which surprised him greatly, it seems that his words this morning really stimulated Zhao Yingning, and even made her start to consciously take the initiative to lose weight.

However, losing weight is something that needs to be persistent, and exercising too much at one time is not good for the body, so in the end, Zhao Yan stopped Zhao Yingning from continuing to run, and then asked her to drink some light salt water to replenish water and salt, which allowed her and Cao Ying to go back to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yan still got up early as usual, but this time he didn't need to go to Zhao Yingning to slam the door, but the other party took the initiative to get up, and went to the garden to run without Zhao Yan's urging. Zhao Yan was also very happy about this, and went to Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an, and Princess Shoukang, called the three lazy women out of bed, and then pulled them to the garden to teach them tai chi.

Originally, there were many ways for women to exercise, such as yoga and the like, which can not only exercise the body, but also maintain figure, but unfortunately Zhao Yan has never learned it at all, so he had to retreat to the next best thing and teach them to learn Tai Chi.

It's just that Cao Ying and the two princesses are obviously a little uncomfortable with the slow exercise method of Tai Chi, and even "giggle" and laugh non-stop while practicing, because they feel that they are moving so slowly like an old lady, which makes Zhao Yan also very helpless, and can only try to tell them to be serious, but unfortunately the effect is not obvious, and in the end, Zhao Yan doesn't care what the action standard is not standard, anyway, there will always be some benefit to moving the body in the morning.

After breakfast, Zhao Yan did not do anything to do this time, but took the little bean sprouts to a room next to the kitchen, this room used to be a small storage room in the kitchen, some time ago Zhao Yan asked people to make some changes to this small storage room, in order to prepare a birthday gift for Zhang Guiyi.

In the next few days, Zhao Yan spent most of his time in that small room except for urging Zhao Yingning to exercise every morning and evening, and no one was allowed to enter this room except for him and Xiaodou Sprouts, not even Cao Ying and the two princesses, which made the people in the palace very curious, and they all wanted to know what the county king was doing these days?

Three days later, in the early morning, in a place called Xiushui Hall on the right side of the Kunning Hall of the Imperial Palace, a beautiful woman about thirty years old got up happily and dressed, and the attendants and maids in the palace were also happy. This beautiful woman is Zhao Yan's biological mother Zhang Guiyi, today is her thirtieth birthday, although her birthday will not be a big deal, but it is also a happy thing, not to mention that Zhang Guiyi has always been kind to her subordinates, so for her birthday, the palace attendants and palace maids are also really happy for her.

Several close palace maids called hot water to serve Zhang Guiyi to wash, but when Zhang Guiyi was about to wash her face, when she saw the two soaps on the maid's tray, her face also showed hesitation, and finally chose the first red box of soap.

In fact, the two boxes of soap are not different, but the red box of soap was sent to the palace by Zhao Yan before, and the famous concubines in the palace have a share, but this has a completely different meaning for Zhang Guiyi, because this is a gift from her son to herself, so she is usually reluctant to use it.

Zhang Guiyi washed her hands and face with the soap sent by Zhao Yan, and then some little daughters smelled her hands angrily, although it was also soap, she always felt that the soap sent by her son smelled the best.

The New Year is coming soon, Zhang Guiyi's mood this year is also up and down, first her son Zhao Yan got married, and the woman is also the grandniece of the Empress Dowager Cao, which made Zhang Guiyi also very happy, but I didn't expect that on the wedding night, Zhao Yan was struck by a thunderbolt, when she heard the news, Zhang Guiyi immediately fainted in fright, until she later knew that her son was fine, but when she was injured, she kept praying to God, thank God for letting her child go.

In the next period of time, the things about Zhao Yan's marriage slowly reached her ears, especially the old fortune she arranged, and even reported some changes in Zhao Yan's body to her, which made Zhang Guiyi extremely happy, she was not less worried about Zhao Yan's nonsense before, but now seeing Zhao Yan become so sensible, as a mother, she is finally relieved.

Thinking of her son, the joy on Zhang Guiyi's face also increased a few points again, every year when she celebrates her birthday, it is also the time when she is the happiest, because according to the rules, all princes and princesses have to give her birthday gifts, and Zhao Yan is no exception, this is also one of the few opportunities for Zhang Guiyi to receive gifts from her son openly every year, and even saw Zhao Yan personally enter the palace to give gifts before, but unfortunately now Zhao Yan is married, according to the rules of the palace, the prince after marriage can no longer see the concubines of the harem.

Thinking that she couldn't see her son again, Zhang Guiyi couldn't help sighing, when Zhao Yan was not married before, she was waiting and looking forward to wanting Zhao Yan to get married, but now that she is married, she will never see him again, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

The time soon came to noon, and the other concubines in the palace also sent gifts, and several good sisters also came to Xiushui Hall to celebrate Zhang Guiyi's birthday, but Zhang Guiyi seemed a little absent-minded, until later a palace maid came to report, and when the birthday gifts of several princes were finally delivered, Zhang Guiyi's spirit was shocked, and her face also showed excitement.
