Before the Lantern Festival, Lizi went back to the border town.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the imperial capital is truly lively. It is the Lantern Festival, and it is also the birthday of the empress, prince and fifth princess, and a grand congratulations in the court.

However, Emperor Zhaowen's own longevity was only one day, and Empress Song was not a luxury. Although it was the birthday of the mother and son, and the birthday of the Lantern Festival was celebrated together, it actually saved a lot of money.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Emperor Zhaowen accidentally got a cold. He had only a fever and cough. Later, when the heat went down, the cough still did not improve, and he also had asthma symptoms. Emperor Zhaowen was a little weak in energy when he was older.

Since Empress Song was enthroned in the central palace, Emperor Zhaowen mostly rested in Fengyi Palace. Emperor Zhaowen sighed, "It's not a good time for the New Year, and the Western Barbarians outside are eyeing each other, and the crown prince is still old, so I really can't rest assured."

Queen Song advised warmly, "Who is not sick yet? Why did Your Majesty say these despicable words? It's so good to drink medicine, and it will be cured in a few days." This tone was like coaxing the fifth princess to take medicine.

Emperor Zhaowen took the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank it hurt, and coughed a few times with a smile, "The Queen treats me as Wu'er."

Empress Song put the empty bowl back into the hands of the palace servants, "Not only Wu'er likes it, but the prince also likes it."

Emperor Zhaowen asked, "Where is today's memorial? Please read it to me."

In recent years, Empress Song has been favored by Emperor Zhaowen and often helps Emperor Zhaowen to read memorials. Emperor Zhaowen is too lazy to write, and the memorials have been drafted by the cabinet. When Emperor Zhaowen listened to it, Empress Song used a cinnabar pen to write accurate characters after the memorial. In addition, the inappropriate ones were thrown back and re-written, and some were left to the next level. In fact, what really came to Emperor Zhaowen were all military and national affairs, and some were small matters, and the cabinet could handle some small matters by himself, otherwise hundreds of memorials would exhaust the emperor to death.

Emperor Zhaowen listened to Empress Song reading a few times, looked at the spots falling on the gold brick floor through the window screen, and said, "The weather is good today."

Queen Song laughed, "The forsythia in the Imperial Garden is in full bloom, so why not accompany His Majesty to visit the garden."

Emperor Zhaowen said, "I haven't read many memorials yet."

Queen Song said, "It's okay to go to the Imperial Garden and bask in the sun to comment on memorials."

Emperor Zhaowen laughed, "Okay."

Queen Song complained softly, "Your Majesty said he was the Lord of Wancheng. I told me that the long-time workers in my village are more relaxed than Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhaowen laughed, "This is our country. If we don't have the heart, who will do our best?"

Emperor Zhaowen has always been very satisfied with Empress Song. The two have some age gap, but their relationship has always been very harmonious. However, the court officials, seeing that the memorial receipt was not written by the imperial pen, were in an uproar. Peng Xiang repeatedly asked Your meeting and said tactfully that it was not appropriate to let the Empress interfere in politics. Emperor Zhaowen has been the emperor for many years, and he was still able to do this. He said lightly, "The Empress is just writing a few words on my behalf. Peng Xiang doesn't need to panic. Tell them that I am in good health and I can only be at ease."

The court officials had extraordinary imagination. Emperor Zhaowen said that the dragon body was still good, but they felt that there was no silver here, and they had unlimited possibilities. After all, since Emperor Zhaowen's illness, the court meeting had stopped.

With Emperor Zhaowen's diligence, unless he had to do so, there would be few times when he ascended the throne in the past few years.

Emperor Zhaowen had a poor dragon body and a young prince, so people were inevitably indifferent to the turmoil in the court.

Zhao Changqing went to the palace to teach the fifth princess to make clay men, and the fifth princess was not as emotional as before. Zhao Changqing was a cautious person, and now he had to be extra careful when speaking, for fear of making taboos.

Empress Song was very satisfied with Zhao Changqing and occasionally said to Qi, who came to the palace to pay his respects, "He is a proper person." In fact, at first, Empress Song did not mean to be the fifth princess's lady. The princess's female gentleman is all the ladies of the emperor who are famous. It's not that Empress Song was not picky about Zhao Changqing's status. It was because there were many taboos in the palace, and she could not be cautious in words and actions. The Zhao family had a deep relationship with Empress Song, and Empress Song had a good impression of Zhao Changqing. If there were any inappropriate things in the palace, Empress Song felt that it would be a pity. Unexpectedly, Zhao Changqing's actions were very appropriate, and Empress Song looked at him with admiration.

Qi smiled, "The most rare thing is to be kind-hearted."

Queen Song smiled and didn't say much. Her position, every word and deed attracted attention.

Empress Song was originally an introvert who could make her say "properly", which shows that Zhao Changqing is really good. Qi and Zhao Changqing have a good relationship, not to mention that Zhao Changqing can be the female husband of the fifth princess, and she still has some relationship with the Song family. Now Zhao Changqing is competent, Qi is honored.

Zhao Changqing was a steadily and steadily the female gentleman of the fifth princess, and Xia Wen was also in a stable manner in the Hanlin Academy. Emperor Zhaowen had always been incompatible with his body, and Xia Wen also specifically reminded Zhao Changqing, "You must be careful in your words and actions in the palace."

In fact, some people want to inquire about the affairs of the palace through Xia Wen. These whimsical guys, Xia Wen told Zhao Changqing a joke, "I really don't know what's wrong." Could it be that he looks like a fool? He has never asked about the affairs of the palace himself, otherwise he would have just a few words and a whole family would be beaten. It would be better to be an ordinary official. Anyway, he had a strong relationship with Song Jia. Even if the prince ascended the throne, the Yu Xia family would have only benefits but no harm.

Both husband and wife were doctors, and they were never short of caution. Zhao Changqing nodded when she heard her husband's words. For some reason, Zhao Changqing suddenly remembered the shoes that her cousin Yang gave to Mrs. Xia Yueyue. Zhao Changqing felt a thrill in her heart and said, "I always have an ominous premonition."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xia Wen comforted his wife, "Don't think too much. You are the guru of the fifth princess, just to play with the fifth princess, and nothing will happen. In our family, there are nothing to do. As long as there is nothing to do outside, there will be nothing to do at home. I am a bookmaker in Hanlin, with the old Hanlin, who is on duty every day and go home on time, and there will be nothing to do."

After hearing what her husband said, Zhao Changqing also laughed, "That's right. Suddenly, he was thinking randomly for no reason."

Xia Wen said quietly, "It's not easy to be a job in the palace. You can relax your mind. It's really not possible. You'll be sick." Although his wife can be a female husband for the fifth princess, it's just that if it's really difficult, Xia Wen would rather his wife be a job.

"I'm not sick again." Zhao Changqing said warmly, "Maybe it's because the weather gets hot. It's okay. Every five days, His Royal Highness is very popular, and I'm happy to go."

Xia Wendao, "I can't hold on and tell me."

"I know." Zhao Changqing smiled, "It will be the birthday of his wife in a few days. It's not easy to do it now. Let's set up two bars at our own house."

Xia Wen laughed, "Okay."

When cousin Yang sent someone to send his shoes, Mrs. Xia's birthday came. Zhao Changqing prepared a birthday gift early and gave it to Mrs. Xia. On that day, the family celebrated her birthday. On the second day, Zhao Changqing went to the palace to teach the fifth princess to make clay men as usual.

The eunuch took her into the palace, but she did not see the fifth princess. Instead, Empress Song was waiting for her. Zhao Changqing asked Empress Song for peace, Empress Song gave her a seat and asked someone to give her a memorial to Zhao Changqing. As an imperial decree, Zhao Changqing really dared not go to read the memorial of the court officials. Empress Song signaled, "The secret letter of the minister, it's okay to see if you have something to do."

Zhao Changqing took this prescription and read it at a glance. It said that she opened a medicine hall in the border town and had gone to the flower building to see a prostitute. The memorial stated that Zhao Changqing had such merits and was not very suitable for serving as the female position of the fifth princess. Zhao Changqing looked carefully and closed the memorial. She was already shocked and calm. She stood up and said, "My wife did have opened a medicine hall. As a doctor, if she was picking on the patient's identity, the wife felt that it was a shame for the doctor."

"You have donated silver to the Northwest Army for four years. You once shot and killed the Western barbarian generals with an arrow at Xiping Pass, and made contributions to the country. No one has ever talked about these things. You have been a doctor's job and were picked on the bones in the eggs." Empress Song admired Zhao Changqing's calmness very much, and she asked, "What do you think now?"

Zhao Changqing's voice was very steady, "What the wife did is to be worthy of her conscience. She did not hide it from the queen, but she could not kill her husband. The only thing her husband felt guilty about was that she would be plagued by others and implicate the queen."

"The little man's method has always been like this." Queen Song did not say more about this and said, "The princess likes you very much. I have no disagreement with your actions, but the course will be temporarily suspended in the near future."

Zhao Changqing said, "Yes."

Empress Song gave a lot of rewards.

Good things don’t go out, bad things go through thousands of miles.

Although Zhao Changqing brought back the generous reward, she once went to the flower building to give a prostitute to a prostitute. The city was filled with wind and rain. After Mrs. Xia found out, she almost came up and died directly. She angrily questioned the eldest daughter who brought back the rumor, "There is such a thing! Where did you hear it!"

Aunt Xia curled her lips, "I heard from my sister-in-law with my own ears. Is this fake? Who would make a rumor about her niece-in-law for no reason? She also said that she has a nose and eyes! Besides, the princess really doesn't want her to teach her now. There is no wind and waves. Mom, I think this matter is probably true."

Old Mrs. Xia patted the coffee table in the square and shouted loudly, "Call your sister-in-law and Zhao! Where is the ancestor of heaven and earth? What kind of evil did this cause in the previous life!"

Those who are willing to share your wealth may not be willing to share your suffering.

For example, when Zhao Changqing and Mrs. Xia first entered the door of Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia immediately pointed at her nose and asked Zhao Changqing, "Did you often go to the flower building to treat prostitutes | girls!"

Mrs. Xia was startled and looked at Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing's eyebrows didn't move and said, "Yes, my husband knows it too. I used to be a doctor, so I asked me to treat it, so I must not go."

Old Mrs. Xia hated her misfortune and angry at her uncontested appearance, and patted her thighs and scolded Mrs. Xia, "You are a mother-in-law, why don't you care about her! Which daughter-in-law from a scholarly family can go in and out of such a pickled place!"

Zhao Changqing said, "I didn't discuss marriage with my husband at that time, and my wife couldn't care about me."

Seeing that Zhao Changqing was not at all regretful, Old Mrs. Xia was so angry that she said angrily, "You still have the shame! I want to know, I want to know..."

Zhao Changqing said coldly, "I have never hidden my doctor's work from the Xia family. My husband was a doctor in my shop. He knew very well. Why didn't he say anything about me earlier? The Empress didn't say that I was wrong, but the old lady came to blame me first. You have to know what happened to me before. If you have gone to Hualou before, you should not let my husband marry me, or divorce me? I admit it if I admit it. It's not my fault. Others just knocked my head on me. The old lady came to attack me first. What does it mean that the relatives are hurt? The enemy is quick. I saw Zhenzhen now! Old lady, I'll leave my words here. I went to Hualou for prostitutes. I've been to the prostitute for the girl who has been treated. I haven't been to you earlier. You didn't know that the Xia family mistakenly married me. I'll give you peace of mind. Even if you know it now, it's not too late. I'll give me the book of the book, and I'll be clean!"

After Zhao Changqing finished speaking, he turned around and left. Old Mrs. Xia inserted his eyes upwards and went straight to see the old lady. Aunt Xia screamed and waved to Zhao Changqing, "You disobedient and unfilial thing, get out of here! You made the old lady so angry!"

Zhao Changqing reached out and slapped Aunt Xia and pushed her out. She pulled out a golden hairpin between her hair with her backhand. A golden light flashed and stabbed her in the middle of the old lady. Xia woke up with a scream. Zhao Changqing said lightly, "The old lady has always been hard. Even if she is unfilial, don't use the trick of pretending to be dizzy. You forgot that I am a doctor. I can see it at a glance."

This old face is ashamed...

Old Mrs. Xia really wished she could pass this time.

Zhao Changqing used a handkerchief to smear the blood from the tail of a golden hairpin and left.

Mrs. Xia comforted Mrs. Xia, and her words were pale, "The old lady was a little more generous and more comfortable, and it was not easy for her daughter-in-law to have a wife."

Old Mrs. Xia slapped her thigh and howled, "I can't live this life."

Old Mrs. Xia first howled her son, and pulled her hand to continue to howl, "I heard about this, ask her why, listen to what she said! I did such a shameful thing, and I didn't even ask her! I am her grandmother-in-law at all, what was she saying, who else was in her eyes? You shouldn't marry such a woman to Brother Wen in the first place! It hurt Brother Wen for the rest of her life! If this lawless and shameless woman is not over, I will be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors in the nine springs!"

Mr. Xia advised, "Mom, where are you saying this? It's all the past. Let's take a look at what these old scattered grains do." Xia Wen had told him a long time ago that this matter was just the beginning, and there was still big trouble later. So the family was in such a mess, and what to do in the future.

Old Mrs. Xia stared with tears in her eyes, "Now the entire imperial capital knows that Brother Wen's daughter-in-law often goes to brothels. How do you ask Brother Wen to go out and be a human being?" Old Mrs. Xia asked, "If you keep breaking down, you will suffer the chaos. Your grandson has a bright future and a good relationship with the queen's family, you must not be dragged down by Zhao Changqing."

Mr. Xia said calmly, "If a doctor is a doctor, how can you not go? Conscience, this cannot be considered a fault of a wife. Mother should not listen to the gossip outside. The mother doesn't know about the villain outside, but she just hopes that our family will have a good family, so they will take advantage of it. Mother thinks, the wife just doesn't go to the palace to be a husband for His Royal Highness the Princess. How generous the Queen's reward is. If you really blame her, can you give her so many good things?" After explaining the truth, she will present evidence.

Old Mrs. Xia felt a little moved, and she was able to persuade her son and she turned her heart and wiped her tears, "There is no good reputation."

"Famous reputation cannot be eaten. When others talk about me, I must mention the incident of being exiled in the past." Mr. Xia sighed, "When my wife married our family, our family was in a humble state. My in-laws didn't bother with us at all. Is our family just a little bit of life? Is it just a good time for someone to slander her? Is this a villain who is a villain? Also, what else do you think of our family? There is also the old saying that 'a wife who is not in a bad position'. Brother Wen has not yet made a big fortune, and he will be rich and his wife will be rich and his son, which is despised."

Mr. Xia carefully persuaded my mother to turn around. Mrs. Xia was still unhappy and said, "I think in our Dongmu Kingdom, I am the first grandmother in the world who was scolded by my granddaughter-in-law pointing at the nose."

Mr. Xia smiled, "My mother said this again, how could my wife dare to disrespect you? I guess she was anxious and ashamed, and she was in a mess for a moment and said something unpleasant. The old lady was not tolerant of their younger generations, so who would tolerate them?"

Old Mrs. Xia whispered, and Mr. Xia laughed, "I will accompany my mother to the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva. I will live a family life, and I have all the hurdles that were so big before. Now this is nothing, my mother doesn't have to take it to heart."

"I even take it to my heart, no one knows it, and I'm a villain in vain." Old Mrs. Xia said a few sarcastic words, and did not mention the previous words. Mr. Xia knew his mother's temperament well and understood that this was the meaning of forgetting it. He then stood by his mother's side to comfort him carefully. By lunchtime, Old Mrs. Xia was already smiling and leaving her son to eat in her yard.

After lunch, I accompanied Mrs. Xia for a while, and Mr. Xia returned to his yard to rest.

As soon as Mr. Xia went back, Mrs. Xia hurriedly got up to greet her and asked, "What's wrong with the old lady?"

"It's okay." Mr. Xia sighed, "You didn't persuade me anymore, why did you start arguing?"

Mrs. Xia sat down while serving her husband, served tea for her, and said, "I can't persuade her. I don't know what happened at home, but the old lady said in a slight manner that the wife's mission in the palace had just disappeared, and she felt uncomfortable. She was not willing to bear the temper and said that she was so irritating... The old lady said that if she had known that her daughter-in-law had gone to the flower house to give her a prostitute, she wouldn't let Brother Wen marry her at all. The wife wouldn't be anxious." Mrs. Xia was actually unlucky. Her mother-in-law was a tricky person, and her daughter-in-law was not easy to mess with. It was really difficult for her to get in between.

Mr. Xia sipped a sip of tea and said, "Who talks so much? Chews in front of the old lady."

Mrs. Xia said, "Don't don't like to listen to me if I say this. The old lady said I didn't know before, and my wife wouldn't say it myself. Today, the aunt went to the clan brother's house to talk. As soon as she came back, the old lady knew it."

"This fuss, my temper can't be changed in my life." My sister talked too much, and Mr. Xia had no choice but to ask, "Have you ever gone to see Brother Wen's daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Xia said, "She is fine. You know, she is hiding deeply and can't see any joy or anger at any time." Today, Zhao Changqing also shocked Mrs. Xia. Since marrying into the Xia family, Zhao Changqing has been lenient and full of things. When she first arrived in Shuzhong, she taught Aunt Xia and her daughter a lesson. Mrs. Xia still applauded in private. This was the first time she turned against her like this. Mrs. Xia felt quite uncomfortable. Especially when Mrs. Xia took over Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia went to persuade Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changqing was drinking tea in the house without tears in her eyes and complaining about grievances. It was like nothing happened. Instead, Zhao Changqing persuaded Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia felt at a loss.

Mr. Xia whispered, "It's not so gentle."

Mrs. Xia glanced at her husband, "A wife is capable, she can be reasonable. There is no perfect person in the world. But my wife told me that something might happen. I am very worried... what else is there?"

"Who said this well?" Mr. Xia himself didn't know, "It's a good thing. His wife is not a superb imperial edict and has never made any grudges with others on weekdays. Who would secretly tell her what happened before?"

Mrs. Xia said, "Has Brother Wen offended anyone?"

"He has only been an official for a few days, who can he offend?" In fact, Xia Wen thought that the Xia family should be the small pond fish that caught fire at the city gate. Since Emperor Zhaowen's illness, the queen has criticized memorials in the past few months, and the ministers have long been talking about this. The highest official position among the Xia clan is Xia Shaoqing, who is a small Hanlin, and has not been an official for a few days in the imperial capital. What's the use of even if he really knocked him down? The Xia family and the Song family have always been close to each other... Mr. Xia did not want to say more to his wife, saying, "

If you have nothing to do at home, you should look at the old lady and your wife's temper..." If it were someone else, Mr. Xia would definitely say at least he had to apologize to Mrs. Xia. Not only did Zhao Changqing marry Xia Wen and the Xia family were in a short time, she also had kindness to the Xia family. Moreover, Zhao Changqing's temper is not easy to guess, so Mr. Xia is not sure, so he is not going to hit this nail, so he just said, "Anyway, you should keep a little eye on it, don't ask your wife to get along with the old lady alone. If you say too much, it will hurt your feelings."

"You don't have to say this."

After Xia Wen returned home, he learned about this and comforted Zhao Changqing, "The old lady listens to the wind and rain. She is old and has a stubborn temper. Don't be angry with her."
To be continued...
