The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

The little lion was playing with the tiger in the yard, and even Zhazha was hovering in the air.

The little lion waved at Zhazha, who immediately landed on his shoulder. "Zhazha, follow Daddy and see where he's going to play."

After chirping a few times, it flew away.

When the little lion returned home, he hadn't seen Zhao Zhen for several days, so he sent his little friend to look for his father.

The little guy was happy when he knew that his daddy had been busy outside and not caring about his unborn siblings.

So when he saw Zhao Zhen coming today, the kid was able to get close to his father without any hesitation.

The little lion played by himself for a while and felt a little bored.

He had been stuck in the yard for several days and was curious about what the outside world was like. He heard people say that there was a big garden in the mansion!

He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he took Hu Tou and quietly left the yard.

The servants in the yard were packing up and preparing to move, and no one noticed that the little lion had walked out.

After the little lion left the yard, he ran out with his short legs.

The little white tiger followed quickly, and it was even faster, so it rushed out in an instant.

After running quite a distance, the little lion dared to laugh out loud, "Hahaha, I'm out! Tiger head, hurry up, follow me!"

The two little ones just ran away.

Zhao Zhen left in a hurry. When he went out of the mansion, he found a little fat bird circling above his head, so he narrowed his eyes.

Shi Ce saw that Zhao Zhen wanted to shoot the bird away, so he quickly reminded him, "Your Highness, this is the little emperor's grandson's pet, just like the little white tiger."

Zhao Zhen: “….”

What is his son's hobby?

Why do you always play with animals?

It seems that I have to find some children to accompany him in the future.

Zhao Zhen had a plan, so he stopped paying attention to Zhazha and rushed to the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of Changle Gate, Zhao Zhen got off his horse.

The guards guarding the city saluted Zhao Zhen one after another. Zhao Zhen just nodded and walked in.

Only then did Zhao Zhen have time to ask the eunuch, "Why did the emperor come to see me? Why is he so anxious? Is he ill?"

The young eunuch shook his head hastily, "The emperor is in good health as usual. When I left the palace, the emperor was very happy!"

The young eunuch would not hide the truth from Zhao Zhen. After all, the emperor was in poor health and Zhao Zhen was the crown prince. The master of the palace in the future would be the man in front of him.

Therefore, the young eunuch did not hide anything.

Zhao Zhen nodded and stopped asking questions.

Unexpectedly, when I walked outside the Taiji Hall, I saw a middle-aged woman coming out of the Taiji Hall.

Although the distance was quite far, I could still see clearly who this person was.

The princess of the previous dynasty, Shang Mengxi, is the younger sister of King Cheng, Shang Shize.

The King Cheng of the previous dynasty was the cousin of the new emperor Shang Yunzhuo. Although he was a clan relative, Zhao Nanxiao Nian did not make things difficult for him because he surrendered in time.

Moreover, King Cheng's daughter Shang Qingci had already been named Princess Changle and sent to the State of Liang.

At that time, the south had not been conquered yet, and Zhao Nanxiao did not want to fight with the Hu people. He just wanted to take over the Central Plains as soon as possible.

After Zhao Nanxiao ascended the throne, Shang Shize's throne was taken back. However, in order to show mercy and not to kill all the Shang people, Zhao Nanxiao granted Shang Shize a civil official title of Chaoyi Dafu, which was a fifth-rank official.

As for Princess Shang Mengxi, she is the wife of Guangling Marquis Yao Heng. However, it is said that Guangling Marquis has been bedridden for a long time.

Zhao Zhen watched Shang Mengxi approaching step by step, feeling very confused.

When a lady from outside the imperial court enters the palace, why doesn't she go to the harem to pay respects to her mother? What are she doing in the Taiji Hall?

Shang Mengxi also saw Zhao Zhen. She kept smiling as she came to Zhao Zhen's side and bowed, "Your Highness, I, Shang, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Zhen raised her hand, "Madam Hou, there is no need to be so polite!"

The previous dynasty has perished, and Shang Mengxi is no longer a princess, but she is still the wife of the Marquis of Guangling.

Shang Mengxi stood up and felt more satisfied when she saw the imposing Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen also noticed Shang Mengxi's gaze, and he really didn't like this kind of look.

"Madam Hou is here to visit my mother?"

Shang Mengxi was startled by Zhao Zhen's straightforwardness, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile: "This time, the emperor summoned me to the palace, and I haven't paid my respects to the queen yet!"

Zhao Zhen carefully pondered Shang Mengxi's words, and doubts began to emerge in his mind.

"I still have things to do! Madam Hou, take care!" After saying that, he walked straight towards the Taiji Hall.

"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shang Mengxi bowed and saluted.

After Shang Mengxi stood up straight, she did not stop and walked out of the palace with her nanny and the eunuchs.

Zhao Zhen arrived at the entrance of Taiji Hall and while waiting for the announcement, he glanced at the figure in the distance.

So he whispered, "Shi Ce, send someone to check Guangling Marquis's Mansion, especially this Princess Shang."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

At this time, the palace door was opened, and Feng Shun said respectfully: "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to come in!"

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and walked in.

Meeting Zhao Nanxiao in the back hall, Zhao Zhen admitted that the eunuch who led the way was right, and his father was somewhat happy today.

Zhao Zhen bowed, "Son greets father!"

Zhao Nanxiao raised his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, come and sit down!"

Zhao Zhen walked over and sat opposite Zhao Nanxiao.

"I heard that Han from your backyard is pregnant?"

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen's heart sank. He had clearly instructed everyone in the palace not to spread the news outside. Even the imperial physician had given the order.

Who spread the news?

"Why? You still want to hide this happy event from me?"

There was already a hint of blame in Zhao Nanxiao's tone.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly shook his head, "Father, Han's pregnancy is less than three months old. I heard that it's best not to tell anyone within three months, as that would be bad for the fetus!"

When Zhao Nanxiao heard what Zhao Zhen said, he finally laughed, "Da Lang, how can I be considered an outsider? This is my grandson!"

Zhao Zhen: “….”

This is really not your grandson!

However, Zhao Zhen did not want the emperor to know that the matter of Minister Han had not been investigated yet!

"Yes, I know I was wrong, but who did you listen to?"

Zhao Nanxiao glanced at Zhao Zhen and said, "I was just about to criticize you. As a grandfather, I only knew from Minister Han that I would soon have a little grandson."

Minister Han, he has been very active recently.

While Zhao Zhen was deep in thought, Zhao Nanxiao started coughing again, "Cough cough cough..."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly stood up, came behind Zhao Nanxiao, and patted his back, "Father, I will call the imperial physician right away."

Zhao Nanxiao immediately held Zhao Zhen's hand and said, "No need. I know my own body. No need to ask."

Zhao Zhen was anxious, "Let's call the imperial physician to take a look!"

"Feng Shun, Feng Shun, go and call the imperial physician!"
