Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 12 Let’s Brush Up Our Prestige First

Chapter 12 Let’s Brush Up Our Prestige First
As the saying goes, time is money, and money can’t buy time.

Although he is still young, this does not stop Zhao Xin from wanting to achieve something great.

The next morning, there were no classes because it was the fifteenth day of every month, the time for the Wangchao Festival.

Zhao Xin also took Mrs. Miao to visit relatives and friends early in the morning.

"Mrs. Miao, let's go out and play!"

Holding Madam Miao's extremely soft hand, Zhao Xin went outside.

"Where do you want to go? Slow down!"

Madam Miao was also at a loss as to what to do with him.

As for where to go next...

To be honest, Zhao Xin doesn’t have a specific goal, but he does have an overall goal.

Just go outside, take a walk, increase your prestige, and make your words more credible in the future.

As for reading...

What’s the point of studying!

He is already a prince, but he is still studying. Then, this prince’s travel through time was in vain.

Besides, he doesn't have to take the imperial examination, so why should he read any books?

"Mrs. Miao, where is this place?"

Madam Miao said, "This is where Madam Yu lives."

Zhao Xin then asked, "Madam Yu?"

Then Zhao Xin saw that Madam Miao seemed to have some concerns about whether to go in.

Because...

The official’s eldest son was not actually Zhao Xin, but Zhao Fang, born to Madam Yu.

Fang means brightness and beginning. It can be seen that this means the dynasty welcomes the eldest son of the emperor.

It’s a pity that the child died right after he was born.

Although later, in the second year, Madam Yu gave birth to another princess for the emperor.

But this princess is not a prince after all.

You know, the palace is dangerous. Madam Miao is now afraid that Zhao Xin will be envied because she is too outstanding.

This kind of thing is hard to talk about.

The person who was smiling at you just a moment ago might frame you because of a trivial matter.

Although Madam Miao was only the daughter of a wet nurse, she knew very well that it was not easy to survive in this palace.

Seeing that she didn't want to go in, Zhao Xin pulled Madam Miao to the next place!

And don’t go to these small places anymore!

If you want to leave, just go straight to the big palaces.

Zhao Xin has been attending classes for so many days, and he has a clear idea of where this big palace is.

after all……

While taking classes in the attic, he could also climb up and look out into the distance.

then……

The two of them, or to be precise, at least five or six people including the palace maids, came directly to the Queen's Kunning Palace.

Before entering, Madam Miao said to him, "When we get in, you will have to call me Madam and perform formal greetings. Do you know how to perform formal greetings?"

Zhao Xin said, "I know!"

But he said so...

Once you're inside, you don't need to bow.

Because the more well-behaved you behave like this, the more people will want to kill you, right?

You have to act lawless so that others will think you are not a threat, okay!

Once inside.

First, the palace maid reported to Queen Cao that Lady Miao had arrived.

Then, after getting permission from Queen Cao, the palace maid outside brought Zhao Xin, Miao Niang and three or two other palace maids in.

The rest were waiting outside.

As soon as she stepped into the depths of the palace and entered the door, Zhao Xin saw the gap between being a queen and being a concubine.

Look!
The queen was sitting there, reading without putting down her book, but what about Madam Miao?
They can only sew small purses, sachets and so on.

But what caught Zhao Xin's attention the most was that there was actually a little girl in the room. This girl looked to be at least eight or nine years old.

Maybe even ten years old!
He was serving beside Empress Cao.

Madam Miao also pulled Zhao Xin, who was looking at the little girl blankly, and said, "Zui Xinglai, why don't you call someone."

Zhao Xin didn't call her, but walked straight to the little girl and asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"

Look at people from the bottom up.

Everyone present was curious.

Although the child was already ten years old, and much older than Zhao Xin, his face turned red when Zhao Xin stared at him like that.

I don’t know what to say next.

Empress Cao said kindly, "Taotao, just tell him."

Gao Taotao then said: "My name is Gao Taotao, and I am ten years old."

Zhao Xin also replied; "Zhao Xin, three years old this year."

Then he extended his hand, wanting to shake hands.

Gao Taotao: "Uh..."

After Empress Cao saw it, she also asked, "What does Zui Xinglai mean by this?"

Zhao Xin then said, "My queen, this is the way I set up to make friends with others."

Empress Cao: "Uh... so what does this mean?"

Zhao Xin came to Queen Cao, took her hand and shook hands with her.

Then he said: "After shaking hands, we are good friends."

Empress Cao was only a little surprised and asked Lady Miao: "How come you are so happy, it seems like we haven't seen each other for only a few months, but you are already speaking so fluently, and you even came up with this handshake."

Madam Miao also hurriedly said, "Even I don't know how to shake hands. Zui Xinglai, who did you learn this from?"

Zhao Xin said, "I thought of it myself. What book are you reading, Madam?"

Empress Cao frowned slightly, probably thinking that this was too incredible. You know...

A few months ago, Zhao Xin was the only one who could make the sound of "eh eh eh".

It's only been a few months!
At most, it’s only four or five months.

in fact……

What Queen Cao didn't know was.

Most children, when they reach Zhao Xin’s age, can speak very well as long as you talk to them often.

of course!

It is very difficult to be as goal-oriented as Zhao Xin and to speak and ask questions logically.

Queen Cao then took the book she was reading from the table on the bed and gave it to Zhao Xin to read.

Zhao Xin took a look and said, "In the spring of the tenth year, the Qi army attacked us. You are about to fight, Cao... How do you pronounce this word?"

Zhao Xin lay on Queen Cao's thighs, then looked up and asked her.

Empress Cao was reading Zuo Zhuan, and this article happened to be the one in the middle school textbook, Cao Gui's Discussion on War, so naturally, what Zhao Xin asked about was the word "刿".

Empress Cao said, "This word is pronounced '刿'."

Zhao Xin asked, "What does that mean?"

Empress Cao replied, "It is a person's name. His surname is Cao and his given name is Bi."

Zhao Xin asked again: "I am asking, what does this word mean alone?"

Queen Cao: “Uh…”

Madam Miao saw that Empress Cao's brows were furrowed, and she also said, "I am very happy to be here, so please don't be rude."

Empress Cao smiled and said, "No problem, I've never thought about this question before."

Zhao Xin also said: "My Lady."

Queen Cao: "Hmm?"

Zhao Xin: "Can I sit on you?"

Queen Cao: “…”

This time, not only Queen Cao frowned, but even Madam Miao frowned as well.
