Empress Cao said: "Ting'er, you also know how many couples who are born in the house of the emperor can truly love each other? King Jin and Princess Jin are lucky. Besides, what about the queen mother and your father? "When I mentioned this, Empress Cao became sad. She has been married to Zhao Gan for so many years and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him, but he has never loved her. Sometimes, she is so jealous. She used to be jealous. The palace is so lonely, and now this palace is deep, how can it survive those countless nights and nights
The emperor’s harem was beautiful three thousand. Although she was a queen, she could not be loved by her majesty. If it weren't for your Majesty Shang to come to her here on the fifteenth day of every month according to the rules, then her Zhengyang Palace would be a cold palace. I heard that the winter in Beijing was extremely cold. It is now autumn and winter is coming soon.
Thinking of this, Empress Cao felt more heartache, and a trace of grief flashed across her face.
"Ting'er, it's what you like, so you should take it around. As for whether that person likes you, it doesn't matter." Empress Cao looked at her son and said solemnly, "You are the prince, you just want to marry one. It’s just your beloved woman, why do you have to worry so much? Is it just because she doesn’t like you, so you have to give up? Then she is happy, how about you? You have no obligation to bear this pain for her. The bitterness of lovesickness. This bitterness, the queen has tasted so much. You are the most dear child of the queen, and the queen does not want you to suffer from the bitterness of lovesickness. You are kind and filial, and consider everything for others, and you are selfish and selfish. Bar."
Zhao Ting looked down slightly, and said, "Mother, if Miss Zhou really doesn't want to marry her son, son... doesn't want to use her power to force her. However, her son will not give up, this crown prince. Just keep it for her." After a pause, he said, "Just as the imperial grandmother said, first choose a Liangdi. As for Liangdi, whoever chooses depends on her mother's queen. The mother's queen, the sons and ministers will enter the palace in the future. Come to visit you, and please don’t think about sadness anymore, take care of your body."
Empress Cao walked to her son, put away the bad emotions for the time being, and just smiled and said: "The queen understands, Ting'er, as long as you are well, the mother will be well." He said again, "Look at it. It’s coming to autumn hunting. This is your father’s first hunting activity since he became a king. I want to attach great importance to it. Ting’er, you are a prince. Since you are better than other princes in all aspects, you should not In order to accommodate the brothers and hide their clumsiness again, you grew up in the northern land, not to mention the sidelines, horse hunting, you should be good at hunting."
Zhao Ting smiled and said, "Yes, the boy understands."
"Now that I understand, let's go back first. The courtiers who want to come to the East Palace will have a lot of important discussions with you." Looking at the meek and honest eldest son, Empress Cao was very satisfied, just said, "I will also tell Wang Liangdi when I go back. Let her bring Zong Shun into the palace, but the queen mother hasn't seen Zong Shun for a long time."
"Erchen remembered." Zhao Ting folded his fist and bent towards Empress Cao, "then the minister retreat first."
After the prince Zhao Ting left, Empress Cao sat quietly with her son in the huge palace for a while, until the old mother who was waiting next to her came in with tea, and she recovered. Then he sat upright, took a few sips of tea, and looked at Mother Ming, "You saw it just now, and the queen mother asked the palace to choose only one of the three houses to be a good wife. Which one do you think is better?"
Sister Ming is an old man next to Empress Cao. She has served the queen for more than 20 years. She is witty and steady, and she usually helps her to solve her problems. But seeing that it was such a big matter, Mother Ming had a smile on her face, but she humbled and said: "Manny, you can be a slave and maidservant. How can the maidservant understand this?"
"Well, there are no outsiders here. This palace wants to hear your opinion." Empress Cao said, "According to the meaning of this palace, why not choose them all. There is only one Wang Liangdi in the left and right east palace. But Wang Liangdi still needs to take care of the younger ones. The prince, that Zong Shun was just when he needed to spend his energy to take care of him. Wang Liangdi put his mind on his son, so the time to share with the prince was naturally much less."
Madam Ming said, "The empress is right. If you want to choose a good maid who can take care of the prince, the maid will feel that the Lu family girl is very meek and well-behaved." Madam Ming said with a smile thinking about Lu Quan's appearance." The appearance is also very good-looking. Seeing how well-behaved and obedient, she is a temperament that does not fight or grab." After thinking about it, she said, "The second girl Xuan must have a strong temperament. Although the prince is honest and filial, she is the prince of a country after all, she may not be able to. I can bear it. As for the Cui family girl, the servant girl has also looked at it carefully. The girl Cui looked good and obedient, but the servant girl always felt that something was wrong."
Empress Cao said: "What you said makes sense. However, the palace heard that since Lu Feng divorced his wife two years ago, he has never remarried. This lady Lu..." Empress Cao did not say clearly. I did what I wanted to say, but Mother Ming understood it.
"The slave servant heard that Miss Lu spent most of her time with her mother, and only occasionally went back to the Prince Lu's mansion on important festivals." Madam Ming said, bending her waist slightly, "If the empress is uneasy, don't worry. Minger called Lin Sanniang into the palace and took another look in secret."
