Now that Su Shi has just cured Zhao Xi's illness, it is the time when he is popular, of course Dong Wen will not find trouble with him. But he made up his mind in his heart that once this gust of wind passed, he would let this young man know what the fate would be if he offended a eunuch who had no roots.

Dong Wen left again with the wooden basin, and as Su Shi expected, Zhao Xi, who was lying on the bed, quickly opened his eyes again.

"You don't like him?" Su Shi asked with a smile.

"Don't like him. He always stares at me and won't let me eat this, don't let me do that, it's really annoying. Also, Sister Rou said (Princess Fukang's full name is Zhao Weirou) Dong Wen always likes to run to Yanfu Palace, suing behind his back, villain. (I need to make a point here, and I won't repeat it later.) In the Song Dynasty, concubines of the same generation were descended to the next generation, and they were the same generation as their own children, but you are the biological mother of the children and this cannot be changed. It's like Zhao Xi calls her biological mother her sister, and Zhao Huirou also calls her sister, but a soft word is added in front of it. ）

Su Shi is so smart, just by hearing this, he understands that I am afraid that this Dong Wen should be the person sent by Empress Cao.

Speaking of this Empress Cao, there are many records in history.

Most of them say that they are virtuous and dignified, but they can be called a generation of virtuous queens. However, there are also other opinions among later scholars.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, Renzong once said that the queen and Zhang Mao were rebellious.

Even if it is recorded in history, if Empress Cao is really virtuous, how can such a thing happen?

Second, Zhao Zongshi (that is, Song Yingzong) can become the emperor, which is also the result of Empress Cao's main promotion. And when he was a child, when Zhao Zongshi entered the palace, he was also deeply loved by Queen Cao, and the two were like mother and son.

Of course, these two points alone do not fully explain anything. But at least it proves that Empress Cao is not completely trusted by Renzong, and it also proves that she has her own selfish intentions in the matter of establishing a prince.

In history, Zhao Xi died of illness when he was three years old. But now that Su Shi is here, such a thing should not happen, so what choice will this Queen Cao make next?

This made Su Shi very curious.

Naturally, the most important point is that history is written by the victors.

Renzong died in front of Empress Cao, so how to write about himself next, isn't it based on Empress Cao's ideas?

"Do you like the Queen Mother?" After thinking about it for a while, Su Shi asked the next question.

"Mother is fine." Zhao Xi showed a silly smile. But it can also be seen that he is perfunctory.

If it was really good, it wouldn't have been added.

Don't look at Zhao Xi is only three years old, but he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he is really exercised, at least he will not be as unscrupulous as a folk child.

Su Shi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to take the delicious food and handed it to Zhao Xi and said, "Come, if you like to eat, eat more." Tell you, now is the time for you to grow your body, and it's okay to eat more. ”

......

Zichen Palace.

After Zhao Zhen, who was relaxed, returned here, he approved a lot of excerpts.

"Official, it's time for dinner." Zhang Mao was holding a wooden plate with two vegetables, one meat and three dishes on it, which was Zhao Zhen's dinner.

Speaking of which, Renzong Zhao Zhen is very able to restrain himself in terms of eating. There is such a little story recorded in history.

Song Renzong is good at mutton, and the foodie once ingeniously used mutton as an official servant. One morning, he sighed to his ministers, he had insomnia last night, he was hungry, and he wanted to eat roast sheep. Roast sheep in the Song Dynasty was roast sheep. The minister asked, why didn't you say it last night? Renzong said, I'm afraid that after eating this time, the imperial chef will kill a sheep every night in the future, and it will be too wasteful to eat when I am hungry.

In the Song Dynasty, sheep were a strategic commodity. During the border trade between Liao and Song, the Liao State stipulated that sheep were not allowed to leave the country. Because sheepskins can be used to make camp tents and military uniforms. The Xixia people are good at tea, and the tea is extremely expensive, and it is said in the "Xixia Books" that the Song people exchanged a few catties of tea for a sheep, which shows that the sheep is more expensive than tea.

As the emperor of a country, it is not easy to control his appetite.

"Okay, eat." Zhao Zhen, who was in a good mood and had a great appetite, picked up his rice bowl and ate a lot.

While eating, he seemed to think of something and asked Zhang Maoze, "How is Xi'er?" ”

"If you go back to the official's house, the little one went to see it just now, and His Royal Highness King Jing's condition is much better, as if his face is a little ruddy. Speaking of which, this Su Shengshou is really powerful. Zhang Mao stated the facts in the front, but began to carry private goods in the back.

In the afternoon, while Renzong was approving the folds, Zhang Mao went to Yanfu Palace. gave the perfume that Su Shi gave to herself to Empress Cao.

Qian Bao came to the capital, and perfumes began to be sold here. It can be said that the quantity is not very large, and under Qian Bao's heart, this is no longer a problem of money, but that non-powerful people can't buy it. What's more, the perfume is almost the same, just a taste.

Compared with those perfumes, Su Shi gave Zhang Maoze a fine product, which is rose fragrance, in addition, Su Shi also has osmanthus, jasmine, gardenia flavor, etc., which is far from the kind of bargain on the market that can be compared.

Queen Cao had some perfumes before, but they were all ordinary perfumes. The fragrance of the roses sent by Zhang Mao today was completely different, which made her very happy. Happy, he asked if he could get other perfumes, such as his favorite jasmine.

In this regard, Zhang Mao naturally agreed. However, this matter fell on Su Shi's head, thinking that if he had a good relationship with him, it shouldn't be a problem to get jasmine perfume.

So how do you build a good relationship?

This requires saying good things in front of the official, if you can get more benefits for Su Shi, then when you want perfume, isn't it more confident?

With his heart, Zhang Mao naturally looked at Su Shi's body.

"Well, this boy is good, it's just a pity..."After hesitating for a moment, Renzong stopped his chopsticks and sighed.

"Official, what is the pity? A little courage, but is it because of his background? Zhang Mao asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'm afraid you also heard Chen Lin say that his mother is Zhao Weineng's young daughter." Renzong nodded.

"Huh." Zhang Mao laughed out loud when he heard this.

After accompanying Renzong for a long time, he naturally knew what the emperor's preferences were and what to do to attract the attention of the other party without attracting anger.

"Well, what are you laughing at?" Renzong was as curious as he thought.

"Official, small and talkative, why not be an opportunity." Zhang Mao said with a smile, and when he saw that Renzong was puzzled, he continued: "The official family, it is precisely because Su Shengshou is a descendant of the Duke of Nankang County (Zhao Weineng's title during his lifetime), so if the official family can reward him and even give him an official and a half-post, then wouldn't everyone in the world say that the official family is generous and open-minded?" Isn't this a slap in the face of some people who like to chew their tongues? ”

The so-called chewing tongue root refers to the fact that Zhao Guangyi snatched Zhao Kuangyin's throne. Although decades have passed, there has always been such a saying among the people. He also said that today's official family is also following his grandfather's example, suppressing another Zhao power all the time.

Zhao Zhen naturally knew this matter in his heart. Now when I heard Zhang Mao say that he could give Su Shi an official, which was the best way to block the mouth of the people in the world, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Yes, if it did, the private arguments wouldn't be so tenable. Let's see, if it's really suppressed, how can it be banned?

And Su Shi is still a cripple sitting on a wooden chair and unable to walk on his feet. Even this person's can be crowned official, it can't be said that there is not much grace, right, so what are others embarrassed to say?

Thinking of this, Renzong fell into deep thought, as if thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Seeing that Renzong listened to it, Zhang Mao felt that the opportunity could not be lost, and he was not lost. He opened his mouth again and said: "Official, the official who sealed Zhang Shengshou has another advantage, that is, it can disgrace those people. I heard that the woman escaped from the Zhao family back then, but it was told as a joke in the mouths of nobles at that time. ”

Zhang Maoze's meaning is already very obvious. That is to humiliate Zhao Weineng's sons by elevating Su Shi's status. It also made the nobles in the capital once again turn over the things of the year and talk about it with relish.

In this way, under the great loss of face, isn't the strength of the Zhao family about to be hit hard, isn't this exactly what Renzong wants to see?

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen quickly understood the meaning of these words, and immediately felt that things seemed to be feasible. For a moment, his eyes lit up.

......

Shohito Palace.

In order to take care of Zhao Xi properly, Su Shi could not leave the palace without a will. He'll be staying here tonight too.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, I'll be on duty tonight, you can come over early tomorrow morning to replace me." Su Shi smiled and put forward his opinions.

"This... Then it's hard Su Sheng's hand. Xu Bin reluctantly accepted it, but in fact, he was overjoyed. After instructing King Jing to drink the Chinese medicine he had made with his own hands, he turned around and left the palace.

Su Shi could stay, which naturally made Zhao Xi very happy. But when he saw Dong Wen standing on the side, there was still disgust in his eyes.

"Dong Wen, you're tired these days, go and rest, or get up early tomorrow morning to replace me." Su Shi understood, looked at the little yellow door Dong Wen and said.

"Zhang Shengshou, the little one is not tired, let's accompany His Highness here tonight." Dong Wen shook his head, and did not obey Xu Bin's words.

"You're staying? What can you do? If Your Highness is not feeling well, will you see a doctor? Seeing that the other party was toasting and not eating, Su Shi said unceremoniously at the moment.
