Until he returned to the bedroom, Zhao Dongting still seemed full of worries. He rarely concealed anything before the girls, even if he encountered difficulties.

A true man may be able to bear any difficulties silently by himself, but in the family, this approach is not advisable.

The most important thing for a family is communication, sharing blessings and suffering difficulties. This is home.

There is no need to say much about Le Chan and other women’s understanding of Zhao Dongting. Over the years, they can tell how serious the matter is from Zhao Dongting’s expression.

When Zhao Dongting returned to the bedroom, the bedroom was very lively. There were more than ten children alone.

Among them, Zhao Ge, the prince born to Mikiko, is the youngest and has just learned to walk.

In addition, the two children born to Zhu Qingqi and Zhu Qingci sisters are only a little older than him. One boy and one girl have a personality that is very gentle to their mothers, not as good as Zhao An when he was a child.

At this moment, even Zhao An and Zhao Ru, who were studying martial arts in Wudingtang and Jun Tianfang, Qi Wulie, were in the bedroom. Everyone was sitting upright in the yard.

The children couldn't sit still, some were playing, and some palace maids were taking care of them.

"emperor……"

Zhao Dongting took Eunuch Liu into the yard, and the eyes of the girls fell on him. Le Chan walked up with some complaints, "Why are you just coming back now? Didn't you agree..."

They were all sitting in this yard, so naturally something was wrong.

Today is the day when Zhao Ge is just one year old. Zheng Sixiao, the chief painter in the palace, was brought into the palace to paint. Because Zhao Dongting did not come back, he had been waiting for a long time.

"I……"

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses slightly, and only then did he remembered this incident when he saw the scene in the yard, and he felt a little guilty.

For him, things in the bedroom were also big things.

"What big thing happened? His face was so serious?"

Before Le Chan finished speaking, she could see that Zhao Dongting's face was not right. A look of worry suddenly appeared in her extremely beautiful eyes.

Zhao Dongting reached out and held her hand, smiled and said, "Let Zheng Aiqing finish painting for us first!"

Le Chan shook her head with some laughter and cry, "Look at what time it is now, I'm still painting, so let's have a meal first!"

Zhao Dongting patted his forehead, "I was a little confused when I was in the imperial study."

Look at the sky, it was already some time before noon. He led Le Chan into it and said to the girls: "Hurry up and have a meal!"

"oh!"

"You can finally have a meal!"

The children cheered and hurriedly ran to the dining room.

Although they are princes and daughters, because Zhao Dongting did not teach them completely with the laws of the royal family, there are many aspects and not so much attention.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to control them too much, as he would lose his spirituality. Even if he had the ability in the future, they might not be able to be happy.

As a monarch, he should make everyone in the royal family outstanding. But as a father, he thinks that the most important thing is to be happy in his children.

And after thinking about it, even if it was Zhao An and Zhao Ru and others could not become talents, the great Song Dynasty would not lack these talented men.

In other words, there are some rules that need to be done for the court officials. For example, if Zhao Dongting did not send a message to the bedroom and did not come back to eat, the girls would still have to wait.

"My minister Zheng Sixiao bowed to the emperor, the emperor..."

Zheng Sixiao had the opportunity to speak at this time. When Zhao Dongting got closer, he hurriedly saluted Zhao Dongting.

In fact, he met Zhao Dongting more often. Because the paintings he made were vivid and he was especially good at portraying characters.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting taught him the method of "sketching" in the early days, which made this great master who has a reputation as a master in the painting world today shocking.

Later, when Zhao Dongting taught him other painting methods, he was even more impressed by Zhao Dongting.

Although sketching, watercolor and other painting methods in the Song Dynasty are still far less popular than ink painting, there are still few people who have studied it.

Zheng Sixiao is a nerd and has been immersed in it over the years. To this day, the sketches are definitely lifelike, which is hard to compare to ink paintings.

Zhao Dongting also regarded him as his royal "camera". Whenever he encountered a happy event and wanted to take a "family portrait", he would always call Zheng Sixiao over.

Those scrolls are made of secret techniques and are said to be uncorrupted. When they are old, they are also a thought and a beautiful memory.

"Zheng Aiqing is exempt from gifts."

Zhao Dongting raised his hand and said to Zheng Sixiao.

Zheng Sixiao couldn't help but stand up. It was Zhao Dongting who used his internal energy.

Before he could be surprised, he heard Zhao Dongting say to Eunuch Liu again: "Let's arrange for Zheng Aiqing to have dinner in the side hall!"

Zheng Sixiao hurriedly bowed again, "Thank you, the emperor for his kindness!"

In the palace, even the chief painter has a low rank. Moreover, even if the official rank is high, there are really not many officials who can enjoy such honors.

After all, the bedroom is a bedroom. Until now, there are only a few people who have enjoyed this treatment in the entire Song Dynasty.

In the past, Zheng Sixiao was summoned to stay in the bedroom while having meals, but he could not go to the side hall for meals, but was led by the eunuch outside the bedroom for meals.

I don’t know why the emperor asked him to have a meal in the bedroom this time.

But he didn't know that Zhao Dongting was thinking about Su Quandang and the old eunuch in his heart.

During the meal, all the girls probably saw that Zhao Dongting had something to do. No one said anything.

After the meal, I sat in the yard.

The time it takes to sketch is not too long, but it is not short. Zhao Dongting and Zhu Nu are fine, but the children can't sit still.

The little one cries, the big one is impatient.

Fortunately, Zheng Sixiao has the ability to remember everything he saw. His eyes were like a photocopier, which could freeze the scene in front of him in his eyes.

He just took more than ten minutes to draw a contour and nodded to Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, OK."

Zhao Dongting sat between the girls and the children, nodded slightly when he heard this, then turned his head to Le Chan and said, "You come to the study room with me."

He took the girls to the study.

The girls looked at each other with some confusion and solemn expressions. I don’t know what happened, but the emperor actually asked them all to go to the study room.

Could it be that it involves the major event in the harem?

When he arrived in the study, Le Chan asked worriedly: "Master, what happened? Could it be that the front line was defeated?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head and said, "No. On the contrary, the front line is probably winning. Su Quandang and the others are likely to have taken down Kaifeng Prefecture."

"this……"

The women looked at each other and then quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Le Chan said: "Wouldn't that be... the extreme powerhouse of the Yuan Dynasty is likely to come to the palace again?"

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting sighed and nodded slightly, looking at the girls with a slightly apologetic look, "I am the emperor, but I don't have the ability to protect you in front of him, so... I can only arrange for you to leave the palace."
