Everyone dispersed and the tea was removed.

The old lady then opened her eyes, and a hesitant light flashed in her eyes: "You said, aren't my words just now too harsh?" Another paused, her eyelids drooped slightly, "Can she listen?"

Madam Zhou gently pressed her shoulders for the old lady and said carefully: "Mrs. This is the deepest love and harshestness of her. After all, she is your granddaughter. The stricter you control her, the better she can be. She is now the eldest daughter of the prime minister, and she will have to support her family and take over the power in the future. If she can't even understand your hard work, how can she face the complex situation in the capital in the future?"

"Yes, why don't I think so? I'm afraid she will follow Shen's temperament." The old lady smiled bitterly, "Shen's noble and arrogant, willful and selfless, doesn't even take the Tian family seriously. Such a woman will sooner or later cause a big disaster..."

His tone became deeper, as if he was muttering in his dreams, "But if I knew she was pregnant back then, how could I be so cruel to me?"

...

The veranda of Zhao Mansion is winding and spacious, and a warm aromatherapy furnace is burned in the corridor.

Zhao Xiwei walked along the way, and the warm fragrance slowly formed a sharp contrast with the wind and frost outside.

But what surprised her was not these, but a gentle woman.

The woman was wearing green clothes, smiling eyes, and stood inside the moon gate, very gentle and graceful.

She held two little girls in each of her left and right hands. When the little girl saw Zhao Xiwei, she showed a sweet smile and her voice was crisp: "Sister Wei!"

It was the third wife and her two children in the house.

Zhao Xiwei stopped and saluted respectfully: "Hello, the third lady, and the two sisters."

"Oh, what's the name of Mrs. Third, look at your child." Mrs. Third held Zhao Xiwei's hand with a smile: "It's all a family, just call me Aunt Third in the future!"

Zhao Xiwei was so kind that he immediately called out: "Hello, Aunt San."

The third lady responded with a "ah" and asked with a smile: "Sister Wei hasn't eaten yet? I just asked someone to make red bean steamed cakes and stew a pot of pheasant soup. It just so happened that the three of us couldn't finish it. Sister Wei went to try it together." She swept Zhao Xiwei's thin clothes again, with a little pity, "I cut a few thick cotton coats before, and I felt that the color was a little delicate, so I kept pressing on the bottom of the box. When I saw you today, I felt that you were wearing it just right."

He is a friendly and considerate person.

But Zhao Xiwei could not bear this affection. Although she was really cold and hungry at this time, she had just entered the mansion and had no idea about everything in the mansion. There were still many problems to be solved. Eating and dressing became the least important thing.

Then he bowed his knees and bowed again, and smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt San, for your care. It's only the old lady who assigned a few people to the garden. You must go to the placement. Please don't blame me."

The third lady was a very reasonable person. When she heard this, she knew her concerns and stopped insisting: "Then when will you come over when you have time? I will ask the kitchen to make it for you." She smiled and said, "I live alone in the West Courtyard. In such a big place, there are only me and two sisters, which are so deserted."

Zhao Xiwei was grateful, but was a little surprised.

How can you feel lonely and bored if you take care of two children alone?

The third lady showed a bit of sorrow and sighed softly: "Your third uncle took your cousin to fight in Xiliang. The war is in a tight place this year, so you probably can't come back for the New Year."

Zhao Xi nodded slightly, thinking.

Xiliang has always been a major concern of the court. After many years of war, both sides have their own victory or defeat.

However, this year's flood in the south and the lack of food harvest will inevitably have a certain impact on combat capabilities.

The current Great Wei Dynasty is at a time when internal and external troubles are concerned. My father must have worked very hard as the prime minister.

In fact, it is not only Zhao Ziyi who has worked hard, but also Dang Xizi.

Because of the matter of the outer wife, the Censorate impeached Zhao Ziyi into a small hill.

The Empress Dowager was worried that she could not find a handle for him, so she simply followed the situation and approved the Censorate to hold him accountable.

At the same time, there is also very bad news that the Jiangxia Wang and his family have returned to Beijing.

The old King Jiangxia is the brother of the late emperor, that is, the uncle of His Majesty today.

The emperor was very young when he ascended the throne and the court was not peaceful. All military and national affairs were dependent on the empress dowager and the emperor's uncle. It was not until the emperor grew up that the old King Jiangxia resigned and took his son, daughter-in-law and his family to the fiefdom.

Maybe it was to avoid suspicion, or to really enjoy my old age. In short, over the years, the whole family of Old Jiangxia Wang has never returned to Chang'an.

Now, the son of the old King Jiangxia is back.

At this moment, if Zhao Ziyi was impeached, the Empress Dowager's party would definitely support the King of Xinjiangxia.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more severe the headache became: "Dear friends, you have to find a way to calm the Prime Minister."

It is a matter of trouble in the court now. The Empress Dowager is not so much suppressing Zhao Ziyi, but rather declaring war on the emperor.

All the old foxes here are, so naturally they refuse to express their thoughts.

Sikong looked at the sky with his eyes: "The war in Xiliang is in urgent need, and I have been busy recruiting soldiers and horses in Longxi recently."

Situ held his sleeves with his hands: "The south has been famine for many years, and I have been busy with water conservancy in Huainan recently."

The Shangshu looked anxious: "At the end of the year, the official documents submitted by various states have accumulated like mountains, and the Shangshu's Mansion has not had a rest for a month."

...

"Cough cough cough--" A moment of upset made the emperor cough continuously, and the eunuch Cao De hurried over to serve him.

"Okay." The emperor waved his hand and forced himself to cheer up, "Is there no other way to solve this matter?"

All the ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them looked like "What can I do?"

The emperor's face became dark.

He has been ill for many years, and it seems that all the civil and military officials can no longer control them.

Doctor Guanglu sighed: "If Taiwei Pei is here, this matter will be solved."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Zhengqing, who had been silent, stopped doing it: "The grandson of Pei Taiwei's fight in Lefang for less than a month, just passed by like this lightly?"

The Guanglu Dafu said: "The Taiwei fought all year round, and it is understandable to take into account the lack of all his grandson."

Tingwei was solemn: "The emperor broke the law and was also guilty of the common people. Is it because Taiwei Pei was the father of the imperial concubine, so he had to go out with the net?"

"Then Prime Minister Zhao is still Concubine Shu's brother, and the Censorate will still impeach him."

While the stalemate suddenly came from outside the hall and said loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here--"

The old foxes turned dark and they all shut up in an instant.

A cold and majestic voice broke the silence in the room and knocked on people's hearts: "Sons meet with the father."

"Crown Prince." The emperor stretched his frown and waved with a smile: "Isn't today a martial arts class? Why did it end so early?"

The person who came was extremely handsome, with a high nose and thin lips, his eyebrows and eyes were like a pool, and his every move had a cold and imposing momentum, showing his majesty.

The Qin and Han dynasties that were used in official positions are not professional, please forgive me for the research party~
