Chapter 445: The Empress (3)
Empress Dowager Su gave her a good idea, Zhao Xiyan naturally appreciated it, and responded with a smile: "The affairs of the harem are cumbersome, I don't understand anything, and I will ask my mother for more advice in the future."
Empress Dowager Su nodded happily.
A moment later, the female officials and chamberlains of various bureaus and departments in the palace came to meet one by one.
"Slave Hongyu has seen the queen mother." This red jade, about twenty-six or seven years old, has thin eyes and long eyebrows, and a delicate appearance. It's a female officer in the embroidery room.
"The slave Jin Xi greets the queen mother, and wishes the mother a healthy body." Jin Xi is about forty years old, with a white and fat face, and there are no wrinkles at all when he smiles, he is the steward of the Internal Affairs Office.
"In the future, if the mother has anything to order, the slave and maid must do their best, and they will never dare to slack off." Next was a grandmother in her forties, with a little black mole on her forehead and a mediocre appearance. This Mama Yu is the steward in the imperial dining room, and she is responsible for the purchase of vegetables and meat in the imperial dining room on weekdays.
Zhao Xiyan was not in a hurry to gather people's hearts, nodded slightly, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces.
She has an excellent memory, and after such a circle, she remembers seventy or eighty percent.
More than 20 female officials and more than a dozen chief chamberlains have seen it, and half a day has passed.
Empress Dowager Su smiled and asked, "How? How much do you remember?"
Zhao Xiyan was not humble, and replied with a smile, "I probably remember everything."
Empress Dowager Su herself is an extremely intelligent person, and Zhao Xiyan's memory is even better than her, so she can't help but smile and praise: "You never forget, just like your father back then."
Zhao Xiyan: "......"
Empress Dowager Su's tone was too natural, and Zhao Xiyan didn't think much about it, so she responded in a more natural and frank tone: "Thank you for your praise."
The Great Jin Dynasty only produced a Zhao Zhuangyuan who was six yuan in a row for decades, and he can afford such praise.
Empress Dowager Su stared at Zhao Xiyan, and through the face that was still unmatched without fat powder, she seemed to see another handsome man's face: "Chunsheng told me that your father will stay in the capital this time and will not return to Beihai County."
"Yes," Zhao Xiyan didn't look back, lowering his eyes slightly, avoiding the embarrassment of capturing Empress Dowager Su's agitated expression: "My father wants to stay in the capital, and he can see me and a pair of granddaughters from time to time in the future." Brother Chunsheng is going to raise the sacrificial wine for the Hanlin Academy, and let my father be the country's eunuch wine."
"My father has been a master for more than 20 years, and he is the most accustomed and good at teaching students. It's fitting that he's doing this errand."
Empress Dowager Su's eyes flashed with remembrance and confusion, and her voice was lowered: "Your father is erudite and talented, dedicated to learning, and is the most famous Confucian in the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is indeed the most suitable to be the prince of the country."
The old memories hidden deep in my heart are surging in my heart.
With extraordinary perseverance and self-control, Empress Dowager Su pushed down the urge to ask about Zhao Yuanming's current situation, and opened the topic with a smile: "Xiaoguo'er and Xiaohua'er have just entered the palace, are you still used to it?"
Zhao Xiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The old relationship between Zhao Yuanming and Empress Dowager Su has long since changed, and it is best not to mention it.
"They two siblings slept well last night. When I came to Inshou Palace early this morning to say goodbye, they hadn't woken up yet!"
Empress Dowager Su smiled: "That's fine."
At noon, Zhao Xiyan stayed in Renshou Palace and had lunch with Empress Dowager Su.
Empress Dowager Su sent someone to Jinluan Hall to ask, and learned that Xu Jing was busy with court affairs today, and sighed to Zhao Xiyan: "Being the emperor is actually the biggest drudgery in the world. Shouldering the shoulders of thousands of people, we must not relax for a moment."
Those who are lazy and lazy are faint kings.
The one who is reckless in military force is a faint king.
The one who indulges in lust is a faint king.
The violent and murderous are also faint kings.
It's too difficult to be a Mingjun.
Zhao Xiyan also sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, the enthronement ceremony has not been held before, and every night when he returns to the palace, he is either tired or sad. I'm so distressed."
Mainly, Xu Jing doesn't know anything about government affairs, so he has to learn it from scratch. It's not like leading troops to fight, relying on a lot of blood and extraordinary skills to charge into battle. Xu Jing used to be drowsy with a handful of books, but now he is forced to read a bunch of them
To understand the huge and complicated government affairs of the country and the DPRK, and to make decisions...... It's hard for him. net
Empress Dowager Su also knew what kind of person Xu Jing was, and said in a low voice: "There is a Taifu teaching, and the mourning family mentions it from time to time, and you accompany him more. He always gets used to it."
Zhao Xiyan nodded in response.
After lunch, Empress Dowager Su wanted to take a nap, Zhao Xiyan got up to retire and returned to Jiaofang Palace.
The winter sun is blazing and bright, and the whole body is warm.
A majestic palace that glows in the sun.
Zhao Xiyan looked at the Jiaofang Hall at this time, and there was no longer the anxiety of last night. Instead, there is a down-to-earth peace of mind.
She is the owner of this palace and the mistress of this harem. In this world, no one can make her bow her head.
"The slave has seen the queen."
Everywhere they passed, the palace people saluted one after another. Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly, and the hosta begonia behind him also straightened his chest.
The two nurses came with little fruit and little flowers.
I haven't seen the child for half a day, but I saw it at this time, and it was very fragrant. Zhao Xiyan didn't have much strength, and it was quite difficult to hug two at the same time, so he had to take turns to hug them.
A few months old, the child has already begun to recognize people. The two brothers and sisters vied with each other to stretch out their arms to their mother, babbling with all their might.
Zhao Xiyan fell into the trouble of happiness. Who should I hug first? Forget it, my brother let my sister hold Xiaohuaer first.
Zhao Xiyan hugged Xiaohua'er, and Xiaohua'er put her head into her mother's arms, giggling happily. Xiao Guo'er flattened her mouth and cried with her throat.
Zhao Xiyan had no choice but to hug Xiaoguo'er over. When Xiaoguo'er arrived in her mother's arms, she immediately stopped crying and ate her little fist with Xiaohua'er.
Zhao Xiyan patiently wiped the saliva for the children, while teaching them to call their mothers.
Both children are only a few months old, and when they have not yet learned to speak, they can only giggle and babble when they listen to their mother's gentle voice.
The hosta felt sorry for the master, and said with a smile after a while: "Niangniang hugged her like this, and her arm quickly became sore. The slave and the begonia hugged the little master and went around."
The hosta begonia hugged one by one, patted the back familiarly, and spun around. The two tender little faces kept looking at their mother.
Zhao Xiyan was soft-hearted, and quickly hugged the two children back. Xiao Guo'er pasted her fat face over, and Xiaohua'er also pasted it, pushing her brother away with her hand. Zhao Xiyan was amused.
Days like this are like soaking in honey water.
The children were tired of playing and fell asleep in their mother's arms. Zhao Xiyan also took a nap. When I opened my eyes again, it was already evening.
Xu Shiyi diligently came to pass on the message of the Son of Heaven: "The emperor invites the mother to go to the Fuyou Hall for dinner together."
