Chapter 188

After Zhao Ting returned to the East Palace from the Jin Palace, the first thing he did was to go to see his son, seeing that it was not too early, and the light in his son's room was still on, he walked in with a smile. Zhao Zongshun was an enlightenment teacher invited in Beijing after coming to Beijing, and he didn't learn to read and write for a long time, and he was very interested.

This child is smart and sensible, and he is diligent and inquisitive, pestering the teacher during the day and his mother at night.

Wang has always been by her son's side, teaching him very patiently, but whenever her son asks, she will try her best to help solve them. The mother and son were learning happily, and when they saw that the prince was back, Wang hurriedly stood up, took his son's little hand and walked to the prince together, and saluted.

Zhao Ting said: "There are no outsiders here, just our family of three, there is no need to be like this, hurry up." ”

As he spoke, he bent down and helped the two of them up, one in each hand.

"The concubine is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wang is still cautious, that is, the prince said that there is no need to be polite, and she doesn't dare to really not understand etiquette, after getting up, she still stands quietly aside, the prince did not speak, she did not speak, just waited for the prince to speak first, and then she answered.

The man in front of him is no longer the former prince Zhao Ting, who slept with him in the past, and he is no longer the former wife Wang Shan. Before coming to Beijing, Wang thought that even if he had made a big mistake, after all, he had been married for so many years, and he would not really be so ruthless and degrade himself to a concubine.

He didn't want to let himself be the crown princess, it must be because the old man of the Queen Mother specially explained, and because of filial piety, he couldn't go against the will of the old man of the Queen Mother, so even if he had the heart, he couldn't do it. But when I arrived in Shangjing, I realized that everything had changed, and it became completely different from what I imagined.

This is the East Palace, not a courtyard on the east side of King Yi's Mansion, where the prince is the prince, not her husband.

As the prince of a country, the prince often has to share his majesty's worries, so he is really too busy than when he was in Yizhou. In the past, he was busy outside, and when he came home, he would always talk to himself about some heartfelt things, and when the husband and wife hugged each other and slept at night, he would ask himself what he thought about some tricky things.

But now it's gone, it's been more than a month since I came to the capital, and I haven't seen him a few times in total.

The only time he missed his son, came to see his son, and she had the opportunity to say a word or two to him.

In the end, it is the prince, although she is still gentle and amiable now, but the identity is there, not to mention the side, just the disparity between the two of them has already made her afraid, vigilant, and as careful as possible in everything. I'm afraid that if I accidentally make a big mistake again, it doesn't matter if I hurt myself, it doesn't matter if I hurt my son, it's not good.

Zhao Ting to his son, as before, first lifted him high, and then sat in front of the desk with him in his arms.

"Son, tell my father, what words did you know today?" Zhao Ting obviously likes this son very much, his son is sensible, well-behaved and intelligent, and he is his only heir, he has no reason not to like it.

Zhao Zongshun shrank in his father's arms, knelt down, and turned several pages with a smile.

"Father, the son recognized these words today, and the father can test the son. "Zhao Zongshun also learned a lot of rules after entering the East Palace, knowing that the man next to him was the prince, and he could no longer be like before. He replied with both good and polite words, and then said: "Master teaches well, so my son is willing to learn more, my son learns from Master during the day, and studies with my mother at night, and my mother teaches well." ”

Zhao Ting raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Liangdi, and then smiled gently: "You taught your son very well. ”

Wang Liangdi hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Your Highness, these are all things that a concubine should do." ”

Zhao Ting nodded, raised his finger and said, "Don't stand still, sit down and talk together." But seeing Wang Liangdi sitting quietly on the side, Zhao Ting looked at her and said with a shallow smile on her face, "Although it is a good thing that my son likes to study, but today is Chaoyang's first birthday banquet, and their brother and sister have always had a good relationship, so why don't you take him with you?"

Wang Liangdi said: "The concubine thought that her current identity was not suitable for going to the Jin Palace, thinking that Zong Shun loved to study very much, so she took her son to stay at home. This matter is the concubine's inconsiderate consideration, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is punished, please punish the concubine. With that, he got up again and knelt lightly to the side.

Zhao Ting's thick eyebrows frowned, and he said lightly: "I didn't say that I would punish you, I just reminded you, you get up." ”

"Yes. Wang Liangdi still lowered her head silently, and then stood quietly to the side.

Zhao Ting glanced at her, his eyebrows gradually rose deeper, but he didn't speak again, only patted his son's little shoulder and said, "It's getting late today, I want to study, don't be in a hurry at this time, let's rest today." After saying that, he got up and put his son down, while he stood aside with his hands and said to Wang Liangdi, "Lonely is here tonight, and you order someone to take care of Zong Shun to rest." ”

Wang Liangdi was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Zhao Ting, as if she couldn't believe it.

But it was only an instant, and after a while, she answered, and ordered Mo Yu and Lu Fei beside her to do things according to the order given by the prince.

After there were only two people left in the huge room, Zhao Ting walked up to Wang Liangdi and looked at her with lowered eyes, the expression on his face was not very good, and his thin lips were also tightened.

"Are you blaming me in your heart?" Zhao Ting didn't make a detour, but asked directly.

Wang Liangdi was startled, but she also calmed down in time, and only shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Zhao Ting didn't speak again, only took her hand and sat in the inner room, and then said: "I know you blame me in your heart, thinking that at the beginning, everything you did was for me, but now that I have become the prince, I only let you be a good person." Even, even Zong Shun's identity is a little lower, you have resentment in your heart, but you didn't say it, didn't you?"

Wang Liangdi wanted to kneel, but Zhao Ting grabbed her and said, "Don't kneel anymore, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pay attention to those false courtesies." Holding her hand and letting her sit beside her, Zhao Ting said again, "Shan'er, how can I not understand your heart for me, but since I don't let you be the crown princess, I naturally have my reasons." Now I am no longer just the son of a prince, I am the crown prince, and I also need to have my power, this power, including the power that the crown princess brought to me. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the concubine is incompetent, the Wang family is in decline, and this time it is not as brilliant as when my grandfather was alive. Wang Liangdi felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, but she also understood that if she wanted to be a wife again, there was no hope at all, "If the Taiyuan Wang family was still like twenty or thirty years ago, if my grandfather and father were still there, they would not have declined so quickly." ”

Seeing her crying, Zhao Ting raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said softly: "Don't worry, although your status is lower now, however, your status with your son in my heart is not ordinary." Choosing someone else as the crown princess is a last resort after some consideration, but I still value my son. ”

Seeing him say such things, Wang Liangdi felt a trace of comfort in her heart, and then raised her head and said: "What about the eldest girl of the Zhou family? Your Highness, you want to marry the eldest girl of the Zhou family, is it really just because of her background? Even if the concubine is jealous, she also understands in her heart that the eldest girl of Zhou, regardless of her appearance and character, or how she behaves in the world, in the eyes of the concubine, she is better than the princess of Jin." The reason why the prince chose the Zhou family is that the concubine knows that His Royal Highness has his own considerations, but is there a little bit of this reason that he really likes Miss Zhou?"

Zhao Ting only looked at Wang Liangdi quietly, and there was no smile on his originally handsome and elegant face at the moment, only cold and cold.

Seeing this, Wang was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he already knew it in his heart.

"The concubine understood. She only felt as if her heart was being cut by a sharp weapon, and the pain made her breathless, but she had to accept her fate.

After a moment of silence in the room, Zhao Ting said again: "By the way, don't secretly compete with Princess Jin in the future." He looked at her, "Princess Jin is not a person who likes to stir up trouble, but she is definitely not easy to provoke, as long as you don't provoke her, she will definitely treat her politely." I don't want anything like this to happen again in the future. Do you think that if you do this, King Jin and his wife don't understand in their hearts?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince's teachings, the concubine body has been remembered in my heart. Wang Liangdi wiped away her tears and tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "Next time, I won't dare to compete with Princess Jin in secret, and I won't interfere in the affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince privately, the concubine knows that she just needs to teach her son well in the future." After that, she lowered her eyes slightly, stood up and said, "It's getting late, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to drink a lot of wine today, and I'm tired, so let the concubine fetch water to serve you to rest." ”

After speaking, he turned around to leave, but Zhao Ting grabbed her hand and dragged her back.

Holding her in his arms, Zhao Ting couldn't take his eyes off her slightly plump face, as if he had thought of a long, long time ago.

When they first met, they were not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and at that time his relationship with her had already been decided. Although his family affairs are the orders of his parents, he also likes this person very much. At that time, she was cheerful, optimistic and hearty, always smiling, and he chose her after just one look.

Now, nearly ten years have passed, and the person is still the same person. However, the situation today is no longer the same as before.

How could there be no pity, Zhao Ting raised his hand and gently stroked her soft cheeks, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry." Then he leaned down and clutched his lips. Xu was because he drank some wine, and Xu really felt sorry for the Wang family in his heart, Zhao Ting's kiss was both domineering and gentle, both affectionate and pitying.

The clothes faded one by one, the bed tent was slowly lowered, and in the quiet room, the movement was not too big, but from time to time there was the emotional gasp of men and women.

The night is as cool as water, the years are just right, and people are not old, but the vows they once made can no longer be fulfilled.

Not all mountain alliances and sea vows can grow old together, and once feelings are mixed with interests, they will not be pure...... 166 Reading Network
