Because the emperor could never forget being forcibly separated from his wife, which meant they were apart for five or six years, and they had only just seen their son, who was already quite grown up.
After driving the person away, Tang Baozhu pondered why Lady Feng'an wanted to see her. The emperor had bestowed upon her the title of Lady Feng'an so that she would live a quiet and peaceful old age and not cause any more trouble.
But now it seems that the old woman is trying to find a sense of existence again.
She called over a palace maid who was serving nearby and asked her to tell the Emperor that Lady Feng'an had asked the Empress to visit her, but the Empress had refused, and she was worried about it, so she came to the Emperor for help.
Hearing this, the palace maid felt a little incredulous, but she still obediently bowed to Tang Baozhu and then withdrew.
Tang Baozhu felt that staying in the palace all day was quite boring. Her son was too busy with his studies every day, and Zhou Hongsheng had endless memorials to review and countless important national affairs to handle.
Both of them were so busy, which made Tang Baozhu feel quite idle. She wondered if she should also find something to do to pass the time.
Tang Baozhu suddenly thought that in this era, women are severely restricted. Could she start a girls' school?
After those people have completed their studies, we should ask the Emperor to see if those women can also be given a chance.
I always felt that all the women in the inner quarters were extremely intelligent, and it was a waste of their talents to just waste their time and energy on internal strife.
Thinking of something interesting, Tang Baozhu told the servants to leave quickly, and she hid in the room alone to make a plan and see if it was feasible.
Even after the emperor returned, she told him about the idea, and the emperor's first thought was definitely that it was absurd.
There has been no precedent for women holding official positions for thousands of years. My own daughter has quite a few ideas. The matter of letting women enter the court to serve as officials needs to be considered slowly, but opening a girls' school is something that can be started.
We will gradually liberate those women comrades step by step, and also let those men who are used to being in charge of the household get used to women working outside, and then we will slowly make plans.
Zhou Hongsheng patted Baozhu's head and said, "Leave all of this to me. You just need to be happy. I'll take care of all the troublesome and mentally taxing things."
Looking into Zhou Hongsheng's affectionate eyes, Tang Baozhu was completely captivated by them and nodded subconsciously.
But after nodding, I immediately regretted it. I never expected that this bastard would try to seduce me with his honey.
Originally, he was just bored and wanted to find something to do, but now that Zhou Hongsheng had taken over, he didn't know what to do next.
“I just feel like I want to find something to do. You and Xiaobao have so many things to do every day, and I'm the only one who has nothing to do every day.”
"But I want you to have a carefree life from now on."
Zhou Hongsheng always felt that his little girl had suffered a lot in those years that he didn't know about, and he was too heartbroken to even think about it.
How could I bear to let her do such tiring work?
Moreover, what she was about to do infringed upon the interests of the court officials, and everyone would then attack her, the empress, and he did not want her to suffer such a fate.
However, if it was him who proposed it, then there would be less opposition, and no one would dare to do anything to the emperor.
Zhou Hongsheng thought this way, and he told Baozhu what he was thinking, hoping that she could understand his good intentions and not insist on continuing.
What else could Tang Baozhu do?
Seeing how considerate he was of her, and how sweet he looked, she obediently agreed.
"Girl, if you're really bored, make me a couple of outfits. They don't need to be too complicated, just two casual clothes will do. You made all the clothes that that brat Xiaobao is wearing. Girl, you can't be so unfair. You can't just think about your son and forget about me."
Actually, he didn't want the girl to make clothes for him; he just wanted her to have something to do so she wouldn't overthink things.
For a fleeting moment, Zhou Hongsheng thought of the imperial harem of the previous dynasty, where the women were always busy fighting and never bored. They tormented each other every day, figuring out how to kill this one or that one.
However, he never thought of bringing a large number of women into the harem to annoy his maid, so he could only find her something to do to distract her.
After Zhou Hongsheng said that, Tang Baozhu instantly felt guilty.
I really forgot to make him any clothes, or even any small items, like purses.
When he brings it up like that, it makes it seem like I don't care about him at all.
But Tang Baozhu didn't really feel that way. She just felt that every piece of clothing the emperor wore was made by skilled embroiderers, and that it would take dozens of embroiderers several months to make just one piece of clothing.
His masterpiece is the dragon robe he wore. Every piece of clothing worn by the emperor, even the most ordinary everyday clothes, was meticulously made.
However, since he brought it up, I can no longer slack off.
"Uncle, don't be angry. I didn't mean to not make one for you. I just thought that the clothes you are wearing were carefully made by embroiderers. My skills are definitely not as good as theirs, so I didn't think of making clothes for you."
Zhou Hongsheng was not angry at all. If it weren't to give her something to do, he wouldn't have let her do needlework, at least it would hurt her eyes.
"I'm not angry. As long as the girl cares about me, I'm already very happy."
Tang Baozhu felt that something was off about what he was saying, especially his tone. The combination of the two gave off a feeling of a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative person.
But upon closer observation of Zhou Hongsheng, she found that his expression was perfectly normal. She could only silently comfort herself, thinking that he probably didn't understand and that she was just overthinking things.
"Uncle, besides Xiaobao, you're the only one in my heart. You hold a very important place in my heart."
Since he liked hearing these nice words, Tang Baozhu figured it wouldn't hurt to say more since it wouldn't cost her much breath, as long as it made him feel better.
Although Tang Baozhu felt that the most important person in her heart was herself, even Xu Rui, who had been with her for hundreds of thousands of years, only occupied a small part of her heart.
But he would still say nice things, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hongsheng's face immediately lit up with a smile.
