Zhao Xu and others did not return to the palace until midnight.

Zhao Ji was tired of this little bastard. He lay on Zhao Xu's back, sucking his mouth, and was sleeping very well.

Zhao Xu carried him into the palace gate.

When he returned to Funing Hall, Zhao Xu put Zhao Ji in his bedroom, and then came out and said to Chen Pi: "After sending Meng Tang's memorial, please pay attention to the reaction of the Political Affairs Hall."

Chenpi was a little nervous and said, "Official family, the Empress Dowager must not agree with this matter."

Who doesn’t know in the Song Dynasty that the Empress Dowager was the most “adhering to the ancestral system and adhering to etiquette and law”. Concubine Zhu wanted to be appointed as empress dowager, which was contrary to etiquette and law.

Zhao Xu didn't care and didn't explain. He turned to Chu You and said, "I'm looking forward to the palace gate, especially near Zichen Palace, I'll guard my Yan soldiers."

Zichen Hall is the place where the Song Dynasty convenes.

Chu You raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu looked at the not-so-bright moonlight above his head, thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "Is it in my 100s today?"

Chenpi said: "Official family, today is the thirteenth day."

Zhao Xu muttered, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "The day after tomorrow, it's the new year."

Chenpi suddenly looked tight and stared at Zhao Xu.

The so-called "New Year and New Year" is the first and fifteenth day of each month, which is the time for the imperial court to hold a meeting.

What will the officials do in court?

Zhao Xu straightened his chest, relaxed his sore shoulders, and said, "Did my grandmother say it's as scheduled?"

Chenpi felt a little uneasy and stepped forward and said, "The Empress didn't say anything, but the Empress's illness has not yet recovered and she should be on leave."

"Retirement" refers to the court officials who have a vacation and do not have to be on duty. Now it means that Empress Dowager Gao will suspend the court meeting.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and said, "The time is right. It's almost done, let's go and rest."

Chenpi had no idea what the government was going to do, so she responded nervously.

Chu You was cautious in his words and actions, saying, "I am going to leave."

Zhao Xu watched the two of them leave, moved their shoulders again, chuckled, and turned around to walk towards the bedroom.

Since he mastered the Imperial Guard, he has not been so worried and has felt much more relaxed.

...

The next morning, Zhao Xu had a sore waist and back pain, and he left the bedroom with dark circles.

The palace maids who washed him were shocked. The officials were not so haggard even when they were sick.

Seeing the Eleventh Highness who was yawning and sleepy, the palace maids were even more stunned.

Zhao Xu washed his face and said angrily: "Wash up quickly, and leave after dinner."

Zhao Ji was still half asleep and half awake, shaking.

Zhao Xu ignored him and went to eat after washing up.

On the side, Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's face and said in confusion: "Official family, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xu took a sip of soup and sighed: "This little bastard Zhao Ji not only kicked the quilt, but also kicked people. I haven't seen it all that night."

Chenpi's face moved, as if she was holding back her smile.

After a while, Zhao Ji still half asleep and woke up, and walked in one step and sat next to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was too lazy to see him and was eating on his own.

Zhao Ji took a few bites, then stood up, and said with his eyes open: "I'm ready to eat, I'm going to go to bed."

As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave.

Zhao Xu kicked over and said, "Get back to where you sleep!"

Zhao Ji was shocked, his eyes opened, he looked up at the front, turned around, and was stunned when he saw Zhao Xu, and said in a daze: "Official family, why are you here?"

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and looked unkind.

Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he sat back again. He reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, and said excitedly: "I remembered that the official family took me to a cruise last night. Well, it's delicious..."

Bang

Zhao Xu kicked Zhao Ji and the stool to the ground with a kick.

Zhao Ji got up, holding a steamed bun in his mouth, and got up and ran out of the door.

Zhao Xu was still angry and glared at Chen Pi and said, "Didn't you ask me to remind me last night, and hang this little bastard for a night after coming back? Why didn't you remind me?"

Chen Pi was stunned. Why did he get to this place?

Last night, the official family came back with His Eleventh Highness all the way. He was cautious on the way and was afraid of waking him up. How could I remind him?

Immediately, Chen Pi quickly laughed and said, "The villain knows his mistake."

Zhao Xu snorted and continued to eat.

After waiting for a while, Chen Pi looked outside and whispered: "Official family, the Secretariat will open later. The villain will ask someone to send Meng Tang's memorial to him. Is there any other arrangements for the official family?"

Zhao Xu looked at the dishes on the table, thought for a while, and said, "No more, let's do it. By the way, I'll go to my little mother's house later. The thirteenth brother and the tenth sister have all gone."

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu carefully and reminded: "The official family may have something to do today."

Zhao Xu and others went in and out of brothels. As the official family of the Song Dynasty, the foreign court would not allow Zhao Xu to have such a "moral stain", and would not allow a second time. What's more, there was Meng Tang's memorial.

Zhao Xu was not afraid of the actions of the foreign court, but was afraid of a pool of stagnant water. He said indifferently: "Just just stare at it."

Chen Pi was unable to see through Zhao Xu, and he worked harder to adapt to his role, standing aside and not talking too much.

After breakfast, Zhao Xu read a book in the study for a while, and then went to Corning Hall.

When Concubine Zhu saw him coming, she was so happy that she made the soup with her own hands and took out more than ten pieces of clothes she had forgotten to give to Zhao Xu last time.

Zhao Xu held clothes of different sizes and looked at some dense wounds on Concubine Zhu's fingers. He was shocked, and was moved and uncomfortable. He smiled and kept telling Concubine Zhu that she would be happy after hearing this.

Concubine Zhu held Zhao Xu tightly with her hands, her eyes red, and Wen Wan's face was full of happiness, and she resisted the urge to cry.

She didn't want Zhao Xu to feel uncomfortable either.

After a while, Concubine Zhu shouted Zhao Qi and Zhao You'e, and washed them and brought them to see Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu and his younger brothers and sisters didn't meet each other many times, so they were very unfamiliar and took out the prepared gifts for them.

The two little guys didn't answer and turned to look at Concubine Zhu.

Concubine Zhu hurriedly said, "It is given by the official family, please feel free to take it."

The two little guys then took it over and then saluted: "Thank you, the official family."

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile. Such two seven or eight-year-old children could still have such etiquette without growing up by their mothers, which shows that they had received a lot of "education".

Zhao Xu spoke some words and became as close to them as possible.

Concubine Zhu watched from the side, feeling very relieved. She thought about it day and night, and finally had a day to satisfy her wish.

While Zhao Xu's family was enjoying family happiness, the Imperial City Inner Affairs Hall received two tricky memorials.

Qin Bing, a clerk of the Secretariat, looked at these two memorials, and his expression changed repeatedly, and he still sent it to Lu Dafang's pay room.

Lu Dafang was old and sat on the chair and looked at the songbook in front of him motionless, as if he was asleep.

Qin Bing knew that the censor had not slept, so he stepped forward gently and said, "My husband, there are two memorials here, so please read them."

Lu Dafang raised his head, glanced at him, slowly raised his hand and took it over, opening his hands with a trembling trembling.

The first one is the memorial from the Censorate, which is directly given to Zhao Xu. It is a "letter of advice" for him who appeared in a "beautiful place" like Hengwulou yesterday.

Lu Dafang silently for a while, and said hoarsely: "Cross a copy for the Empress Dowager, this book will be sent to Funing Palace."

The Secretariat's memorial book has almost never been to Funing Hall. Qin Bing said hesitantly: "My husband, is it for the official?"

Lu Dafang had already opened the second sentence and said in a calm tone: "Who will I give to the officials if I don't give them to them?"

Qin Bing knew about what happened in the palace these days, and vaguely noticed the subtle changes in the imperial city, and bowed gently to respond.

Lu Dafang looked at the words in his hand expressionlessly. This was the memorial of Meng Tang, requesting the consecration of Concubine Zhu as the Empress Dowager.

Lu Dafang looked at it for a while, raised his eyelids and looked at Qin Bing, and said, "You have never seen this memorial."

As he said that, he put it in his drawer.

Qin Bing was shocked and said, "My husband, this Meng Tang is Meng Meiren's younger brother. Meng Meiren is going to be the queen!"

He didn't care about Meng Tang's memorials in the past, but now it is different. If Meiren Meng was established, the status of the Meng family would be extraordinary. Moreover, he felt that the purpose of such a memorial was not simple!

It was a day ago that the Empress Dowager became a monk and practiced Taoism and prayed for the Song Dynasty!
