After leaving Kunning Hall, Zhao Xu looked up at the sky.
To be honest, he was a little tired from acting like this all the time.
But it’s impossible not to act!
"Let's go!" Zhao Xu said to Wen Xunniang, who had been following him: "Come with me to see those younger brothers and sisters!"
He is the eldest brother!
In this feudal society, the eldest brother is like father.
Ethically speaking, after his father died and he ascended the throne, he was responsible for all his younger brothers and sisters.
This is not only a requirement of Confucianism, but also a good social order and custom.
However, Zhao Xu has always kept a deliberate distance from his younger brothers because of the fact that Zhao Ji picked peaches in the last life and destroyed the country. He even had a vague fear and disgust in his heart.
"Let's go see Prince Daning first..." Zhao Xu said.
"No!" Wen Xunniang immediately followed.
…
Zhao Xu took Wen Xunniang and, under the guidance of Shi Deyi, arrived in front of Wu Fei Pavilion.
This is a very deserted Princess Pavilion.
No one even carefully trimmed the flowers and plants in front of the pavilion.
There were only a few old palace maids, cleaning in the corridor of the pavilion.
When Zhao Xu arrived, these old palace maids immediately knelt down and said: "The officials..."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up!"
"Where are Concubine Wu Xian and Jiulang?" he asked.
"The Concubine Xian is in the pavilion with His Highness the Prince..." an old palace maid replied.
At this time, the people in the pavilion also heard the noise and got up and came out.
It was a young concubine in her thirties.
In her arms, she held a child wearing a Chu-colored brocade robe.
When she came out and saw Zhao Xu, she was surprised and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty..."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "The Concubine Xian is the imperial concubine, so there is no need to be polite in front of me..."
He looked at the child he was holding and asked, "How is Jiulang's health lately?"
Concubine Wu Xian immediately said: "Thanks to the official's care, everything is fine with Jiulang..."
"Is Jiulang asleep?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Well..." Concubine Wu Xian replied: "I was tired from playing just now and fell asleep..."
"Do you want an official?" she asked, without directly waking up the child she was holding.
"No need!" Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Let Jiulang sleep well!"
"Thank you, officials!" Concubine Wu Xian immediately hugged the child to thank her.
"Concubine Xian!" Zhao Xu looked at her.
"Official family?"
"In the future, if you have any needs or shortages, you can talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
"I will give instructions to Liang Weijian and the others. From now on, all expenses in the Concubine Xian's Pavilion will be in accordance with the regulations during the imperial examination!"
"In addition, I will issue an edict to the Academy of Sciences and order the Academy to select officials to serve as professors for the kings!"
"Until next year, it's time to enlighten Kuro!"
Concubine Wu Xian immediately thanked her profusely.
Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "I am Jiulang's imperial brother! Now that the imperial examination has passed, it is my turn to take care of Jiulang!"
"Xianfei, please rest assured. I will take care of Jiulang. No one dares to bully him!"
"The official family's great kindness... I would like to express my gratitude to the Prince of Daning County..."
Zhao Xu quickly asked someone to help Concubine Wu Xian up, and then said: "I won't disturb Concubine Xian anymore!"
He led the people and left the deserted Princess Pavilion.
Wen Xunniang followed behind, she was a little curious.
Because the gentleness of the official family just now was something she had never seen before.
Zhao Xu saw her curiosity and said, "Jiulang is a miserable child!"
"My bones have been weak since I was a child. I got seriously ill when I was a child and almost died..."
"ah?!"
"Although Qian Yi saved his life, the price was close to blindness..."
This is exactly why Zhao Ji was able to pick peaches in the end.
The current king of Daning County, Zhao Bai, has eyesight that is close to that of a blind man.
So, even though he was the oldest, he was the first to go out.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu's heart moved.
You can get closer to Zhao Bao in the future.
Because he poses no threat!
Zhao Xu and his people soon arrived at the Concubine Xian Pavilion where Concubine Lin Xian lived.
Zhao Xu's younger brother, who is less than half a year old, lives here.
Zhao Xu led the people into the pavilion.
Concubine Lin Xian is a very young concubine, only in her twenties.
When Zhao Xu arrived, Zhao Xu's fourteenth brother was crying, and Concubine Lin Xian kept coaxing him and singing some songs.
When she discovered that Zhao Xu and others appeared in front of the pavilion door, she was obviously stunned, and then lowered her head: "I have seen the official family..."
"Princess, there is no need to be polite!"
Zhao Xu stepped forward and asked, "Is Shiro Fourteen hungry?"
Concubine Lin Xian shook her head: "Sir Shiro just drank milk from the wet nurse..."
"oh……"
"Then let me give you a hug?"
Concubine Lin Xian hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and handed the infant prince into Zhao Xu's hands.
Then, the little prince who was crying just now stopped crying immediately.
He even chuckled at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at this little guy and laughed: "Brother, you are such a good boy!"
"Do you know it's Brother Huang?" He looked at the little guy and stretched out his hand to tease him.
Then, Zhao Xu returned it to his mother.
"Today, the Queen Mother told me that she would give the Fourteenth Lang a name and a title..." Zhao Xu asked, "Xianfei, did you name the Fourteenth Lang before the imperial examination?"
Concubine Lin Xian stopped talking.
Zhao Xu smiled: "What name did Huang Kao give Shiro Shiro?"
Concubine Lin Xian said: "I told the officials that when the late emperor was here, he said: If he is a prince, he will be named Si..."
Zhao Xu stroked his palm and said, "Huang Kao gave Shiro Fourteen a good name!"
"Sizi is a talented person!"
Then, Zhao Xu looked into the pavilion and asked, "Where is the Twelve Master?"
Concubine Lin Xian gave birth to two princes in total to Zhao Xu's father, the youngest being Shiro Shiro.
The eldest one is Twelve Lang, who has now been named Zhao Ma as the Prince of Xianning County by Zhao Xu.
"I'm telling you, Twelve Lang has just been put to sleep..."
"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded: "I'll go see him..."
So he took only Wen Xunniang into the Royal Concubine's Pavilion, and then saw a little guy sleeping on the bed.
He is less than three years old, which is when he is most sleepy.
Zhao Xu looked at him, then walked out of the Imperial Concubine's Pavilion, and then said to Concubine Lin Xian: "Twelve and Fourteenth Lang, please ask Concubine Xian to take care of them!"
"When they come of age and leave the court, I will definitely arrange a good marriage for them!"
"Thank you for your love from the officials!" Concubine Lin Xian was naturally overjoyed.
Zhao Xuze took one last look at his cute, well-behaved younger brother with his eyes open.
"My brother, when you grow up, I will teach you how to read!" Zhao Xu said and said goodbye to Concubine Lin Xian.
After walking out of Concubine Lin Xian's pavilion, Zhao Xu breathed out a sigh of relief.
Twelve and Fourteenth Lang are two lucky guys.
Because they live long enough.
But this was also the source of their misfortune - they encountered the Jingkang crisis!
As a result, these two younger brothers, as well as their concubines and children, became the spoils of war for the Jin soldiers.
According to the historical data Zhao Xu saw in modern times.
Twelve Lang did not lose anyone from the Zhao family.
Die on hunger strike!
After the 14th Lang was kidnapped to the north, he also died soon, probably the same as the 12th Lang.
Neither of these two brothers disgraced Zhao Xu.
Far better than that bastard Zhao Ji!
Thinking like this, Zhao Xu looked towards Concubine Xing's Pavilion in the distance.
Then he directly avoided Xing Fei Pavilion.
That stinky boy Zhao Ji, Zhao Xu wanted to strangle him to death every time he saw him.
He's sick now, and it just so happens that he doesn't even need to act!
He took the people directly to the Imperial Concubine's Pavilion, and only sent one of his ministers to visit Concubine Xing's Pavilion as a pretense.
Arriving at the Crown Princess Pavilion, Mrs. Zhu was a little surprised by Zhao Xu's arrival.
Zhao Xu was still the same as before, chatting with Mr. Zhu, and then teasing Thirteenth Lang, Wu Niang and Ten Niang.
Zhu was in front of Zhao Xu, and still in front of Zhao Xu, talking about the Ren family and the Zhu family.
The implication is that he naturally hopes that Zhao Xu can help people from the Ren family and the Zhu family.
Give me some help.
Zhao Xu sighed after hearing this, and could only say: "Sister, all the officials and titles of the country are all public servants of the country!"
"The Zhu family and the Ren family have done nothing to serve the country and have been given official positions rashly, which will inevitably lead to discussion among the government and the public..."
Zhu sighed after hearing this.
She has always had this temperament, soft-eared and timid.
Therefore, when the Ren family and the Zhu family cried, she became soft-hearted, but when Zhao Xu spoke, she did not dare.
Zhao Xu looked at it and had no choice but to say: "Sister, I'm relieved. I'll ask the capital minister someday to see if there are any vacancies for sanitation officers..."
It can only be the.
Give me a consolation prize, so at least I can get a salary!
As for people from the Zhu family and the Ren family, running out to become officials?
forget about it!
Stop being embarrassed!
In their last life, they had already lost enough people.
When Zhu heard this, she suddenly became happy.
Environmental sanitation officer, that’s an official too!
At Zhu's place, Zhao Xu stayed until almost evening before getting up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Zhu sent Zhao Xu to the imperial concubine's pavilion before reluctantly going back.
