On this day.
Ji Hao finished reading the memorials, and the night gradually darkened.
The work of uniforming the three-year compulsory education had also begun to show results.
Ji Hao was in a good mood.
It was rare to have such leisure.
Usually, he was surrounded by palace maids, eunuchs, and female officials, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs and went to the imperial garden.
It was already winter.
In this imperial garden, only the plum blossoms of this plum garden bloomed by Ling Han alone.
He strolled towards the plum garden.
He hasn't come back yet.
The fragrance of plum blossoms assailed his nostrils.
They arrived at the plum garden.
Plum blossoms were pleasing to the eye.
A woman's pleasant voice sounded from afar.""There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms them all by himself. I know from afar that it's not snow, because there's a faint fragrance coming.”
This was a poem, written by Ji Hao into his teaching material.
Now, someone was actually reciting in the plum garden late at night.
"Who's there?" asked Ji Hao.”
When the woman in the plum forest heard the man's voice, she immediately lowered her head and held her book. She said in a low voice,"This servant is the maid in charge of cleaning Yanxi Palace. I didn't know that Your Excellency had arrived and was shocked.”
"You read plum blossoms in this plum garden at night, are you waiting for someone?" asked Ji Hao.”
In the harem.
Every woman wanted to climb onto his dragon bed.
Therefore, when he heard this palace maid recite the plum blossoms in the plum garden, he felt that her motive was not pure.
It was likely that she had received news from somewhere that he might come to the plum garden.
"This servant wasn't waiting for anyone, I just felt that this poem was very suitable for the occasion.”
"Why? Do you like reading poetry?”
"This servant not only likes to read poems, but also privately wrote a few poems.”
"Since you like poetry, how about improvising a poem with plum blossoms?”
"In the snow, I know that spring has come, and the cold plum blossoms are adorned with the branches. Her fragrant face was half open and charming. In the court, the jade woman took a bath and put on new makeup. Fate may be biased, so teach the moon exquisite land. Together reward respect Shen green ants, do not refuse to get drunk, this flower can not be compared with a group of flowers.”
"This servant improvised this Fisherman's Proud-Knowing in the Snow that Spring has come, I have let Daren see it as a joke.”
Ji Hao paused.
He had learned this poem before, but it was not written in the teaching materials.
This was Li Qingzhao's ode to plum blossoms!
"Come to zhen."
The woman trembled when she heard this. There was only one person in the palace who could call himself 'Zhen'!
That was the Great Zhou Emperor who ruled the world!
She never thought that she would meet the Emperor of Great Zhou in this plum garden.
However, she was already twenty-one years old. In another three years, she would be leaving the palace.
She jogged out of the plum forest and knelt on the ground, saying,"This subject's daughter, Li Qingzhao, kowtows to the emperor. I didn't know that the emperor had arrived and was shocked.”
It really was Li Qingzhao.
However, Ji Hao didn't see her face clearly.
"In this plum forest, you can't see clearly that it's me, so I forgive you for your innocence.”
"Thank you, Emperor."
Li Qingzhao slowly stood up. In Ji Hao's eyes, he looked especially charming.
From Ji Hao's eyes, Li Qingzhao could tell a lot.
Back then, when she chose to be a beauty, she entered Chuxiu Palace and stayed there for three years.
Three years later, he was assigned to Yanxi Palace to clean.
Ji Che didn't have many concubines, and almost no one lived in Yanxi Palace.
Ji Hao had only been to Yanxi Palace a few times when he was young.
When he grew up, he didn't have much time to play because he was the crown prince. He had to learn how to handle government affairs.
He never went to Yanxi Palace again.
At that time, Li Qingzhao had yet to enter the palace.
She was already twenty-one years old this year. In another three years, she would be out of the palace.
Did she have the chance to receive the emperor's favor?
After all, the emperor would only be seventeen years old after the new year.
Thinking of this, she was very excited.
When Ji Hao wanted to say a few more words to Li Qingzhao, he suddenly realized something.
Liu Jin rushed over with a group of eunuchs and said respectfully,""Emperor, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in Yangxin Hall.”
Ji Hao was a bit confused. It was already so late, why would the empress dowager come to Yangxin Palace?"I understand."
However, he knew that the Empress Dowager had come to Yangxin Hall from her bedroom late at night for something important.
Hence, he got on the dragon carriage and headed towards Yangxin Hall.
In the plum garden.
Only Merlin and Li Qingzhao, who was holding a book, were left.
She looked at the direction where Ji Hao left, and recalled what happened just now.
Would that poem attract the emperor's attention?
If he could obtain the emperor's favor, how good would that be!
She stood in the plum garden for another four hours, but the person she was waiting for did not come.
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but sigh. He left the Plum Garden and returned to Yanxi Palace.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Beside the Empress Dowager.
Shangguan Wan 'er waited on him from the side.
"Mother sent someone to inform your son and let your son go to mother's bedroom. It's the middle of winter and if the Empress Dowager catches a cold, it's your son's fault.”
The Empress Dowager smiled kindly and said,""It's better for me to tell you about this earlier.”
Ji Hao wondered if the empress dowager was here for Concubine Tang.
This Mei Niang went to complain to Imperial Mother again?
Thinking of this, he was slightly unhappy.
"Does the emperor think that I'm here for Concubine Tang? I can only try to persuade you and not interfere with your decision.”
"Mother is worrying too much."
Ji Hao was thinking,'If it's not for Mei Niang, why did my mother come to see me in Yangxin Palace so late at night, with a cold air?'
"A few months ago, you doted on a beautiful girl and sent her to the cold palace that night. Do you have any impression of her?”
"A few months ago? It was the night when the Ming Cult rebels entered the palace to assassinate her. I do have an impression of her.”
"She's pregnant with a dragon heir."
Hearing this, Ji Hao paused. Zhao Min was pregnant with his child!
"BenGong has already taken her to JingDe Palace and arranged for her to stay there. She has also been treated by the imperial physician. This woman is already four months pregnant, but she has suffered a lot in the Cold Palace and needs to recuperate.”
"Mother, do you know her identity?”
"Emperor, you can even send an imperial edict to the Ming Cult for the Great Zhou to use. Now that the White Lotus Society has been destroyed, can't your heart accommodate a woman who conceived your child?”
"Then how does mother think we should handle this matter?”
The Empress Dowager smiled and said,"Let's make her a noble first. We'll reward her after she gives birth to the dragon's heir."”
"Then this matter will be decided by mother.”
"Emperor, you have ascended the throne for more than half a year. It is also time for you to appoint an empress in this harem, so that you can help BenGong deal with the matters in the harem.”
"Zhen already has three concubines, but none of them are pregnant with a dragon heir. The matter of setting up an empress will be put on hold for now. If mother needs help, you can let Consort Tang, Consort Xian, and Consort Ning come to mother's side and learn how to deal with Jianghuai matters.”
While Ji Hao was talking, the empress dowager nodded.
After he finished speaking.
The Empress Dowager nodded." The Emperor is right. Let's wait until they give birth to the dragon heir. It's getting late. You should rest early."”
Ji Hao sent the empress dowager away, then looked at the memorial on the case, thinking about something.
