Chapter 20 Zhao Yurui doesn’t play by the rules
"You and I are our own people. I have just entered the capital and I am at a loss for things. I still hope that Yao Duzhi will help me." Zhao Yurui kept holding his hand.
Yao Bizhi laughed strangely, covered his mouth with his hand, and quickly withdrew his hand: "Don't worry, King Yi, this is what young people should do."
"Your Majesty is kind and takes great care of King Yi."
He took Zhao and Rui along the main road to the Nangong Gate. As he walked, he told Zhao and Rui that His Majesty was in court now and would take him to Ciming Palace to meet the Queen first. When His Majesty returned, he would summon him in Yutang.
Some elders in the palace will be asked to recognize Zhao and Rui.
Emperor Li had already told him the relevant etiquette, and Yao Bizhi repeated it again.
Ciming Hall was originally the residence of the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty, but now there is no empress dowager, and Mrs. Zhong is doting on her and being overbearing, so Empress Yang lives out of sight and temporarily lives in Ciming Hall.
Not long after, Zhao and Rui entered Ciming Hall under the leadership of Yao Bizhi.
Empress Yang is over fifty years old. She looks older and her hair is gray, but her face is beautiful, and she can vaguely tell that she was a great beauty when she was young.
"Yu Rui pays homage to the empress, and wishes her longevity as long as Nanshan, eternal blessings, eternal youth, and all the best." Zhao Yurui knelt down and bowed when he entered. The words that came out of his mouth were completely different from what Li Huang taught.
If Emperor Li were here, he would almost faint.
However, Zhao and Rui were not wrong in calling the queen empress. Shi Miyuan and the others could call the empress a saint, and as juniors, they could call their empress "empress." In the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, juniors could call their elders empress.
For example, the emperor calls him the queen mother, he can call him empress, or he can call him mother.
Queen Yang was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and started laughing.
Queen Yang stood up and slowly walked towards Zhao Yurui, looking at Zhao Yurui with her eyes.
Zhao and Rui looked more handsome and handsome, and they were still young. Empress Yang also secretly praised Mi Yuan when she saw them.
When she came closer, she said: "With Rui Pingshen, you and I are all relatives now, so there is no need to be polite."
She is not kidding. Zhao and Ju who were successfully promoted in the original history later became emperors, and Empress Yang became his mother again.
As long as the succession system of the Song Dynasty was carried on, the title would also change.
"Thank you Auntie, let's get up with Rui then." Zhao Yurui smiled, stood up, and suddenly changed their title to Auntie.
The two maids and a eunuch not far behind Queen Yang were stunned. They had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
Before Queen Yang could react, Zhao Yurui said: "Auntie looks younger than mother Rui. When Yurui saw auntie, he thought that mother had also suffered a lot, and then thought that she would not have to suffer in the future. She is really grateful.
Your Majesty and Aunt."
Empress Yang was moved. The clan of the Song Dynasty was indeed very miserable. If Miyuan hadn't chosen Zhao Yurui, they would still be no different from ordinary people in the future.
"It's good if Yu Rui understands. Remember those who have helped you (Shi Miyuan)." Empress Yang said with a smile.
"Yu Rui has never dared to forget that my mother taught me since I was a child that if you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring of water."
"Okay, okay, okay." Queen Yang smiled and waved gently: "Go for a walk with Auntie."
Not only did Empress Yang not blame Zhao Yurui for calling him aunt in public, but she also admitted it in person. All the maids and eunuchs around her were shocked and turned pale with disbelief on their faces.
Yao Bizhi looked like he was seeing a ghost, looking at Zhao Yurui who didn't play according to the routine.
Before Zhao Yurui entered the palace, the etiquette was taught several times by the Ministry of Rites, and then Emperor Li taught it again. Just now Yao Bizhi kindly reminded him again, but he did not expect that Zhao Yurui did not follow what they taught at all.
But many people suddenly came to their senses: the saint had not smiled like he did today for a long time.
In the past, whether it was Zhao Hong, an official, or Shi Miyuan, no matter who came, Empress Yang could not smile once, because it was always troublesome things that came to her door.
But today, Queen Yang was actually amused.
Amid everyone's incredible shock, Zhao Yurui quickly followed.
When they reached the door, Zhao Yurui stepped forward and held Empress Yang's hand in a hurry: "Auntie, be careful."
Queen Yang's body swayed and she almost stumbled.
She didn't step on the threshold, but was startled by Zhao Yurui.
The emperor had not favored her for almost twenty years. Suddenly, a young man held her hand, and Empress Yang's mind went into a trance for a short time.
However, she came back to her senses immediately and turned to look at Zhao Yurui. She saw Zhao Yurui's clear eyes and innocent expression, and he was looking at the threshold on the ground seriously, for fear that Queen Yang would step on the wrong one.
Queen Yang's face blushed slightly, and then disappeared quickly.
After walking to the corridor outside, the temperature suddenly rose several degrees.
The sun could reach half of the corridor. Queen Yang was walking inside, and Zhao Yurui was holding her hand while walking outside. From time to time, a little bit of sunshine could hit his shoulders. It was very hot. Queen Yang saw it and secretly felt
Nod.
"There are fewer and fewer relatives in the official family. If you and Rui stay in Lin'an, you should visit the palace more often."
"If you have anything to do outside, you can ask Prime Minister Shi for help. If there is anything in the palace, you can ask your aunt."
"I heard that Yu Rui was playful when he was young. He should not be like this in the future. He should study hard and cultivate his moral character---"
"Few of the princes in the Great Song Dynasty lived long--" Queen Yang said this, gently patted Zhao Yurui with her left hand and caressed the back of her hand, and gave him a meaningful look: "Women are scrapers.
The steel knife must be used with restraint."
Zhao Yurui's face turned red and he whispered: "Yurui understands that Auntie is doing this just to be with Rui, and Yurui must keep it in mind."
"A man cannot live without a woman, and a woman cannot live without a man." Empress Yang also spoke seriously at this time, her voice thick and majestic: "But now that you and Rui are members of the clan, you must be able to distinguish the important from the important."

"What women need and what they don't need, everything must be based on the overall situation."
She should know that Zhao Yurui and the widow are unclear, so she intentionally reminds them.
Zhao Yurui immediately said: "What Auntie said is absolutely true. If you don't protect your relatives and elders, everything Yurui has gained may be lost at any time."
Zhao Yurui's last words won Queen Yang's heart. She looked at Zhao Yurui with great satisfaction and nodded heavily.
The two walked while talking, and they didn't know how long they walked. Zhao Yurui and Queen Yang both came out covered in sweat.
"Go in." At this time, Queen Yang had taken him to a courtyard gate and smiled at him: "This is Liufang Garden, which is a good place in the palace to view lotus flowers. You are here just in time. Go in and see the lotus flowers.
Wait for the officials."
"Yes, Auntie." Zhao Yurui slowly let go and backed away.
Finally, he looked up and saw Queen Yang nodding encouragingly to him, turned around and walked in.
A glint flashed in Queen Yang's eyes, and she quickly turned around and left.
Zhao Yurui walked into Liufang Garden and found that it was surrounded by a circle of corridors. Inside the corridor was a pond. The pond was full of lotus flowers. Now is the lotus season, which is very beautiful.
There is a corridor from the southeast to the northwest to the middle of the pond.
There is also a rockery in the middle of the pond, with a pavilion on the north and south of the mountain.
He first walked a few steps in the corridor, found a shady place, and then looked around.
The surroundings are relatively quiet and there are no people around.
Zhao Yurui thought about what Shi Miyuan said last night, then found a long corridor and walked all the way to the rockery.
This rockery is relatively large and hollow inside, making it even cooler after entering.
He stood in the rockery and searched around, and soon found a long branch. Then he came to the northern pavilion and looked at the courtyard gate behind him from time to time.
I don’t know how long I waited, but it probably took a quarter of an hour.
