In the early morning, Concubine Rong was dressing Emperor Wu of Zhou in Yongxin Palace.

"Cousin, can the king really return to Beijing in the afternoon?" Privately, Concubine Rong called Emperor Zhou Wu "cousin". She has been following Emperor Zhou Wu since she was a child, and her cousin is older than her younger cousin. "I don't know how to do it.

At night?" At night, the city gates of the capital will be closed, and anyone who wants to enter Kyoto will be unable to do so.

"We can return to Beijing in the afternoon." Emperor Wu of Zhou gave Concubine Rong a positive answer, "Not yet."

"The time has not come yet, so I'll be relieved." Concubine Rong said, her eyebrows furrowed, with a worried look on her face, "This child always reports good news but not bad news. This time he went to Liangzhou to quell the chaos. The situation was very dangerous. He

He must have been injured, and everyone must have hidden it from us." She sighed softly, "Oh, I wonder how many times he was injured this time, and whether he was seriously injured?"

"I didn't hear that he was seriously injured."

"Cousin, you were like this before. Every time you got hurt, you hid it and didn't let any of us know. When you came back, your injury had healed." Concubine Rong pointed at Emperor Zhou Wu's chest and said coquettishly, "

If I hadn't discovered the scars on your body, I wouldn't have known that you were injured. The king is still the same as you were when you were young."

Emperor Wu of Zhou held Concubine Rong's finger and said with a smile: "It's normal to be injured on the battlefield. It's nothing to make a fuss about."

Concubine Rong said angrily: "Yes, yes, as long as you don't die, it's just a minor injury."

"That's right." Emperor Zhou Wu reached out and patted Concubine Rong's butt, "The second child is no longer a child, so don't worry too much."

"You father and son have the same virtues." Concubine Rong said helplessly, "When I was young, I often worried about you being injured on the battlefield. I didn't expect that when I get older, I still worry about whether my son will be injured on the battlefield."

Emperor Zhou Wu pinched Concubine Rong's chin and shook it gently: "You just love to worry too much."

"Women love to worry. Besides, how can I rest assured that my husband and son are fighting outside?" Concubine Rong put her arms around Emperor Zhou Wu's waist, raised her head slightly and said, "Fortunately, I don't have to worry about you now."

Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and kissed Concubine Rong on the lips: "Okay, it's time for me to go to court. You can sleep a little longer."

Concubine Rong stood up and kissed Emperor Zhou Wu on the lips: "Cousin, walk slowly."

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and left Concubine Rong's palace.

After Emperor Zhou Wu left, Concubine Rong returned to bed and slept. As for going to Zhaoyang Palace to pay respects to the queen this morning, she forgot about it.

Today is the fifteenth day, and the concubines go to pay their respects to Queen Xie. The first and fifteenth day of every month are the days when the concubines pay their respects to Queen Xie.

It stands to reason that the concubines should pay greetings to Queen Xie every day. Queen Xie also hopes that the concubines will come to greet her every day, but unfortunately the queen does not think so. She feels that it is too troublesome for the concubines to come to greet her every morning. Also, it will make

The concubines couldn't sleep well every day. She felt sorry for the concubines, so she changed the rules of greeting them every day to greeting them on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Empress Xie couldn't change the rule set by the former empress. If she changed to greeting her every day, she would be said to be unvirtuous and not as good as the former empress.

In Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao and others were having breakfast.

"Today is such a coincidence," said Poppy, "Today is the day to greet the queen, and the king will return to Beijing today."

Pan Cairen said: "Concubine Rong is going to fight with the Empress again, we have to be careful." Pan Cairen is most afraid of going to pay respects to Queen Xie on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month. Every time he goes to pay greetings, there is bound to be a flash of swords.

Liang Zhaoyi comforted Pan Cai and said: "The Queen and the Concubine can't take care of us."

Poppy said: "We just need to sit quietly."

The fifth princess pouted slightly and said, "I don't want to go." Every time she went to greet the Queen, she was very nervous and scared. "Concubine, can I not go?"

"No." Poppy didn't want her daughter to go, but she had no choice but to go. "If you don't go, you are disrespecting the Queen."

The fifth princess looked at Zhao Yao with great envy at this time: "I wish I were the tenth brother, so I don't have to go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay respects."

Zhao Yao said angrily: "This is the only benefit of studying." As he said, he suddenly smiled happily at the fifth princess and said, "Fifth sister, you have to be good."

The fifth princess glared at Zhao Yao fiercely: "Tenth brother, you must study hard and don't let your husband slap you on the palm."

"Although I'm not smart at studying, I'm very well-behaved and my husband won't hit me."

"Tenth brother, if this is not the case, I will go to study for you, and you will go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay my respects for me." The fifth princess thought her idea was a great one.

Zhao Yao directly gave the fifth princess a look and two words: "Dream!"

"Third brother, don't you like to study..." Before she could finish her words, a poppy hit her little head.

"Is the Hall of Wende a place you can go to?" Poppy taught the Fifth Princess with a straight face, "Such a big man talks nonsense all day long."

The fifth princess pursed her lips and said, "I'll go, is that okay?"

"Fifth sister, fourth sister and the others will definitely not talk about you today." Zhao Yao knew that the fifth princess did not like to go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay her respects, and there was another important reason, that is, she did not want to see the fourth sister and the others.

Before the second mother concubine and the fifth sister moved to Kunde Hall, they lived in Yong'an Palace. Yong'an Palace was the palace of the good concubine, and the fourth princess was the daughter of the good concubine.

When she was a child, the fourth princess often bullied the fifth princess and took pleasure in bullying the fifth princess. The fifth princess was frightened when she was bullied by the fourth princess. When she saw the fourth princess, she could not help but be frightened and frightened.

Later, with the help of Liang Zhaoyi, Poppy took the fifth princess to live in Kunde Hall.

On weekdays, the fifth princess stayed in Kunde Hall and did not go out. The fourth princess disliked the remoteness of Kunde Hall and it was unlucky to be close to the cold palace, so she would not take the initiative to come to Kunde Hall to bully the fifth princess.

The fourth princess only bullies the fifth princess verbally on the first and fifteenth day of every month. At other times, the fourth princess cannot find anyone to bully the fifth princess.

In the past, the fourth princess once sent someone to Kunde Hall to invite the fifth princess to go out to play. In fact, she just wanted to bully the fifth princess. However, the fifth princess refused. The fifth princess did not dare to refuse because of her timid temperament. It was Liang Zhaoyi who sent Gui

Xing refused.

When the fourth princess saw Liang Zhaoyi supporting the fifth princess, she was naturally angry and encouraged her mother-in-law Liang Fei to teach Liang Zhaoyi a lesson. Liang Fei did not like Liang Zhaoyi and had no interest in bullying the little Zhaoyi, but her daughter asked her to help her vent her anger, so she had no choice but to

Pretend to be a good concubine and teach Liang Zhaoyi a lesson.

The good concubine taught Liang Zhaoyi a lesson, and Emperor Wu of Zhou knew about it. Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Queen Xie to choose two nuns to re-teach the four princesses etiquette and rules. Not only that, but also punished the four princesses to copy the "Girls' Ring" a thousand times, and one

The word cannot be less. As for the good concubine, although Emperor Wu of Zhou did not punish her directly, he did not go to Yong'an Palace for several months.

Empress Xie took advantage of this incident and scolded Concubine Liang and her daughter severely in front of all the concubines and princesses. Concubine De and the others naturally would not miss this opportunity and unceremoniously insulted Concubine Liang.

This made Concubine Liang and her daughter the laughing stock of the entire harem.

From then on, no matter whether they were good concubines or virtuous concubines, they did not dare to rely on their status to teach low-ranking concubines. Princes and princesses also did not dare to bully others.

After this incident, the fourth princess never bullied the fifth princess again. However, she would verbally bully the fifth princess on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

In the past two years, the fifth princess's temperament has become more lively and her courage has become stronger, but she has a psychological shadow on the fourth princess. In front of the fourth princess, will she feel cowardly and dare not resist the fourth princess? The fourth princess

Say a few words to her, and she won't lose a piece of meat, so let the fourth princess talk about her.

"Why don't you talk about me?"

"Because the main person to greet you today is the Second Emperor Brother. When you go to say hello, all the topics will focus on the Second Emperor Brother. The Fourth Sister and the others can't care about you."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, the fifth princess felt relieved: "That's good."

Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Zhaoyi reminded her son: "Yao Yao, eat quickly, or you will be late for studying."

Zhao Yao stopped talking to the fifth princess and quickly drank the porridge with his head lowered. After finishing the porridge, he hurried out with Tongxi.

Walking out of Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao clearly felt that the atmosphere in the palace was very different today.

"The Second Emperor Brother is coming back, and the palace will immediately become lively." Not only is it lively, but it also becomes festive.

The great victory in Liangzhou is something worth celebrating. When the king comes back, the palace will naturally be filled with joy.

"Isn't there going to be a celebration in the palace tonight?" Tongxi said, "Your Highness, aren't you most looking forward to tonight's celebration banquet? Aren't you happy?"

"I'm so happy." Zhao Yao's little face showed a bright smile at the thought of eating beef and other delicacies at tonight's dinner, "I hope it can last until evening."

"Your Highness, you must eat less at noon today so that you can have something delicious to eat at night."

"you're right."

At this time, in Chengguang Hall, the ministers were still attending the morning court.

The atmosphere in this morning's morning session was also different, and it was also filled with joy.

Although many people did not want King Dai to come back, Emperor Zhou Wu was happy today. The ministers did not dare to displease Emperor Zhou Wu's happiness, so they could only be happy with Emperor Zhou Wu.

The main content of today's morning court meeting is whether to add pearls to the king.

We have been quarreling for so many days about adding pearls to the King of Dai, but there has never been a conclusion. Today the King of Dai is coming back, and we have to give an accurate answer as to whether we can add beads to him.

No matter what the ministers said, Emperor Wu of Zhou refused to give an accurate answer. This made the ministers unsure of what he had in mind.
