Chapter 80: Yangzhou Tongpan

Maybe because he knew his son was waiting outside, this morning court ended much earlier than usual. After all, except for those who knew about it, the ministers would only pick on the trivial matters in his harem and keep reporting on them.

Or maybe it was because she knew clearly that he had a son, but she still kept asking him to make a son of the royal family the crown prince, which really annoyed him.

No matter how impatient he was in his heart, he still looked gentle and gentlemanly. Therefore, although the court officials wondered why today's morning court was a little short and did not allow them to perform well, the emperor had already spoken and they could only leave the show first.

But when they left, they looked at Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing, who were left behind by the emperor, as if their eyes were not eyes and their noses were not noses. They were simply unhappy.

Seeing that the court officials had left one after another, Zhao Xi happily ran in to find his father. There was no need for the eunuchs to pass on the message.

Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing were a little puzzled that the emperor only kept them two and just sat there without saying a word.

Now seeing His Royal Highness the Prince of E, an idea came to their minds. However, before the idea could take root, it was strangled in the cradle by Zhao Xi's next words.

"Daddy, is sister Yaoyao feeling better? Can I ask you for a favor?"

Zhao Zhen: "Your fourth sister is still the same. We can only take good care of her. Alas, I don't know what sin I have committed. Why are you and your sister in such poor health?"

"By the way, what did you want me to promise you just now? You even had to ask me for it?"

"By the way, you have also seen these two ministers beside you. They are the civil and military teachers I found for you. You must study hard in the future, okay?"

Of course Zhao Xi saw the two people as soon as he entered the hall, but due to his status, he did not greet them. Now that their status has been determined, as a disciple, he should show them the respect of a junior.

But his teachers are here now. How can he ask his father to let Master Wang be his teacher as well?

But now that things had come to this, no matter how awkward it was, Zhao Xi still had the nerve to say it out loud.

"Dad, I am very satisfied with the teacher you asked Eunuch Zhang to find for me yesterday. I wonder if I can let him continue to teach me in the future."

Zhao Zhen never imagined that after he had only taken care of his sick daughter for one night, his own beloved son would be seduced away by a newly-minted Jinshi.

Looking at his son's stubborn face, Zhao Zhen glanced at Fan Zhongyan in embarrassment. Although he didn't know who Zhang Maoze had found to teach Zong He yesterday, but hearing that his son wanted him to continue to be his teacher, it meant that the person was really excellent. It's just...

As if seeing the emperor's dilemma, Fan Zhongyan offered him a way out with great foresight: "I am extremely happy and grateful that the emperor has allowed me to teach His Royal Highness Prince of E. However, I have been very busy recently due to the reform. It would be better to do as His Royal Highness asked and find another teacher to teach him."

Zhao Zhen had never intended to refuse. Now that he had the ladder handed over by Fan Zhongyan and Zhang Maoze was always calm and steady in his work, he thought that the one who enlightened Zonghe yesterday must be a good one, so he did not hesitate any longer and nodded directly.

Thus, under Zhao Xi's influence, two famous reformers of the Song Dynasty became his teachers at the same time.

Later, because of this bond, the two of them had more interactions, and the ideas of the Qingli New Deal and the Xining Reform broke the barriers of time and space and sparked sparks in advance. Under the leadership of the two great reformers, this reform became another successful great reform after Shang Yang's Reform.

These three famous civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty not only had a good end, but also successfully realized their ambitions, leaving a significant mark in history.

After arranging his son's future academic issues, Zhao Zhen asked Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing to go back. Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, he waved to Zhao Xi, ready to tell him about the matter of the "Chen'er" he mentioned.

Just thinking of this name, Zhao Zhen felt a little offended by his biological mother. He felt uncomfortable for a moment, but then he felt relieved when he thought of the relationship between her and his son.

Anyway, we will be family from now on, so this cannot be considered a conflict. Instead, it can be said to be a destiny.

Zhao Xi found that there were no outsiders in the hall, so he ran over skillfully, sat next to Zhao Zhen, and asked, "Dad, you asked them to leave, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Zhao Zhen touched his head and then spoke: "The night your health suddenly improved, I heard you keep calling a name in your sleep, so I sent someone to check."

"I thought it was just your dream talk and there would be no way to find out anything. I didn't expect that there are some strange things in this world. Those hearsays in the past may be true now."

The more Zhao Xi listened, the more confused his little head became. He thought he was quite smart, but why couldn't he understand what his father said?

Zhao Xi tugged at Zhao Zhen's sleeve in confusion, and said uncertainly, "Dad, why are you so weird? Did you get hit by something dirty?"

Seeing his son caring so much about him, Zhao Zhen felt warm in his heart and explained to him, "Didn't I just tell you that I sent someone to check for 'Chen'er'? I didn't expect that they actually found one for you."

"Some time before you recovered, the wife of Sheng Hong, the sixth-rank Tongzhi of Quanzhou, became pregnant with twins. What's even more coincidental is that on the night you recovered completely, you called out 'Chen'er' in your dream, and the Sheng family also gave birth to a daughter with extraordinary birthmarks that day."

As for the other more ordinary child, Zhao Zhen did not mention it. Looking at his son's shocked face, he continued, "What's even more coincidental is that the child's name also has the character 'Chen' in it."

"When I first heard about this, I thought it was just a coincidence. I didn't expect that after much investigation, the Imperial City Bureau really discovered that the child had some magical properties."

"Let's not talk about the strange thing about your health getting better suddenly, and the strange flowers and plants growing in Sheng's house that day. Even Mrs. Wang, who should have had some damage to her body after giving birth to twins, was so full of energy on the day of giving birth that she almost quarreled with her mother-in-law. Something was wrong."

After hearing this, Zhao Xi somehow became curious about the little girl her father called "Chen'er".

"So what does Daddy have plans for that little girl?"

Worried that Zhao Zhen might harm the little girl because of some supernatural power, he quickly added, "Since Dad feels that the little girl and I are destined to be together, why not bring her to the palace and raise her."

Zhao Zhen saw the flickering look in his son's eyes and knew why he said that. He glanced at him and said unhappily:

"What kind of person do you think your father is? Not to mention that the child is just a baby, even if she is a girl of marriageable age, as long as she does not endanger the country, I will not do anything to her."

After that, he continued meaningfully: "What's more, she might be a lucky doll for you. Not to mention training her well to be your wife, it's impossible for you to harm her for no reason."

"As for what you said about bringing the child to the palace to be raised, tell me if it's reasonable. Let's not talk about whether the court officials agree or not. Even I can't bring myself to ask for it. We can't let a baby at such a young age suffer the pain of separation from his own flesh and blood just for our own selfish reasons."

Zhao Xi nodded disappointedly, leaned on Zhao Zhen, and then asked again: "Daddy, I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that the girl you mentioned is destined to be with me, I wonder if I can let her be my wife in the future?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned by his son's words. Listen to what he was saying. A little kid of three or four years old was actually asking for a wife now.

Although he was the one who started the conversation, he really just said it. He didn't expect his silly son to take it seriously. Not to mention that the girl's status was too low, even if her status became higher in the future, what if his son didn't like her anymore?

Although somewhat stunned, Zhao Zhen still thought about it carefully before nodding to his son. It didn't matter if his status was low, his family's status was high enough anyway, and it didn't matter if he didn't like it, he wouldn't publicize it anyway.

However, this official position of the sixth rank is really too low. If I become his relative, the court officials will definitely misunderstand me and think that I am dissatisfied with Zonghe in some way.

Thinking that Sheng Hong was an upright official, he immediately issued an edict to promote Sheng Hong to the fifth rank of Yangzhou Tongpan, and secretly sent two maids to the young lady named Chenlan.

Not to mention Tokyo City, the two most noble men in the world have already decided the future of a young lady while gossiping.

At this time, the Sheng family in Quanzhou, due to the words of Old Lady Sheng, the joyous event of their daughter's full moon was overshadowed.

Originally, the Sheng family held a grand full-moon banquet for their two newborn daughters and invited all the prominent families in Quanzhou to attend.

During the banquet, perhaps because he was overwhelmed by joy, Sheng Hong announced the names of his two children without consulting the old lady.

Originally, this was not a big deal. Although it is better not to reveal a girl's name, the people I deal with are officials, so there is no problem in exchanging names.

But the bad thing was that Sheng Hong named the eldest daughter of the Sheng family Chen Lan. No one thought of the taboo in this for a while, but when they saw the sudden change of expression of Mrs. Sheng, everyone present began to think deeply.

So the officials who were more informed and knew more information found excuses to leave, leaving Wang Ruofu confused and Sheng Hong uneasy.

When the old lady returned to Shou'an Hall, she thought about her adopted son, who had not even discussed the name of the child with her and even violated the above taboos. She was so angry that she smashed the cup.

I had just smashed the cup and was still angry when Sheng Hong walked in shamelessly. I almost vomited blood from anger.

"You rebellious son, do you still have me as your mother in your heart? It's ok that you didn't discuss the naming of the two children with me, but why didn't you even inform me in advance?"

"My son didn't dare. He was just too happy and forgot to do anything for a moment, which led to such a disaster."

Seeing the old lady's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, Sheng Hong suddenly realized something and said quickly, "It's my son's fault. I have been too proud of myself recently. After all, Chen'er was born..."

The old lady thought that she would have to live with this adopted son in the future, so her attitude softened a little: "Forget it, it's useless to worry about it now. Why don't we wait and see what the higher-ups' attitude is towards this matter first?"

Sheng Hong nodded quickly, and then asked carefully: "Then mother, should we change Chen'er's name as soon as possible?"

Old Madam Sheng sighed and rubbed her forehead. It was obvious that her son, after these few years of experience, should not ask such a stupid question. How come he has become so confused now?

In fact, Sheng Hong regretted the moment he asked the question. If he had given his daughter this name before, other people might think he was just ignorant.

But if I change my daughter's name now, it would be like trying to cover up something.

Just when the mother and son were looking at each other in silence and the atmosphere was tense, the innocent and simple Mrs. Wang walked in.

It wasn't that the servants were lazy and didn't report it, it was just that the old lady's face was so gloomy today that for a moment no one even dared to make any sound when walking, let alone come in to report it.

Wang Ruofu had always been carefree. She didn't even notice the gloomy atmosphere in the house. She questioned the two of them with dissatisfaction, asking why the full moon banquet was going well, but not only did the guests leave early, but even the old lady and Sheng Hong hid here.

The two men looked at this simple lady, looked at each other with indescribable expressions, and sighed.

After a while, the old lady spoke again, "You should go back and rest. It's hard to predict whether this matter will bring good or bad luck. We should just live our lives as we should. I think the present generation is always kind and will not care about the name of a baby. As for other things, it's useless to say more now."

After saying this, he stopped looking at Madam Wang's silly expression, held Fang Mama's hand and went back to the dormitory.

At this time, although the eldest lady was not very smart, she was very respectful to the old lady. Although she had a lot of questions in her mind, she did not disturb the old lady in the end.

As for Sheng Hong, he looked distraught. No matter how dumb Madam Wang was, she knew that she shouldn't interrupt at this time.

So he left a message: "Sir, since everything has been resolved and the guests have left, I will go back to see my two sisters first."

When Sheng Hong heard that Wang Ruofu was going to see her two sisters, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw and immediately expressed that he also wanted to go and see the children.

So the couple went hand in hand to the courtyard of their two children. Yes, because they gave birth to two babies in one pregnancy and there were many people to serve them, Wang Ruofu's main courtyard seemed a little crowded.

In order to protect her first two children from suffering any harm, and given her own good health, she decided to visit them whenever she wanted.

Therefore, the two children were placed in the small courtyard closest to the main courtyard. This was why the Sheng family did not ask a doctor to take Wang Ruofu's pulse. Zhao Zhen was also able to find out why Madam Wang was healthier than ordinary people after giving birth.

Sheng Hong, who was originally full of worries, somehow calmed down suddenly after seeing his elder sister.
