Imperial study.
When Imperial Concubine Zhao was brought to the Imperial Study, she was a little trembling. She had only gone to see the little prince at noon. The little prince died in the blink of an eye. When she was shocked, Zhao Ruhai had already arrived at the Yanxi Palace. He said that His Majesty had asked her to come over. What could Zhong Zhiheng want her to do at this time? She knew what he wanted. But because she knew what he wanted, she became even more panicked.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has arrived." Zhao Ruhai bowed and said to Zhong Zhiheng.
"Okay, you can go down now." Zhong Zhiheng put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Find some supplements and send them to the Queen Mother. Tell her that I will visit her when I am free."
The Queen Mother fainted three times from crying when she heard that the little prince had died.
"Yes, I obey your command." Zhao Ruhai bowed and left. For a moment, only Zhong Zhiheng and Zhao were left in the room.
"Your Highness, I greet you." Zhao looked at Zhong Zhiheng's back and bowed carefully. "Your Highness, I respectfully wish you the best of health."
"Xin'er, how many years have you been in the palace?" Zhong Zhiheng spoke slowly. Without turning back, he still stood facing the window with his hands behind his back.
Zhao's name was Changxin.
"Your Majesty, I entered the palace on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Jiasheng." Zhao said in a low voice. She didn't know why Zhong Zhiheng suddenly asked this, but when she talked about the past, she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart. "It was also very cold at that time."
"Yes, it was also at this time. I remember you were only sixteen years old at that time. You were a delicate little girl who was very afraid of the cold. When you came to serve me for the first time, you cried because of the cold wind on the way. I couldn't bear to touch you, and I just cared about coaxing you," Zhong Zhiheng said softly, his tone full of warmth recalling the past. "As a result, the next day, you cried again. I asked you the reason, and then I knew that because I didn't favor you that night, you were worried that I would not be happy, so you cried anxiously. I really have never seen such a lovely girl like you."
"Yes, I was so panicked at that time, because the teaching nanny kept asking questions, and then sighed and said that I was afraid that I would never be able to enter the Yangxin Palace again. I was really anxious, and I was annoyed that I cried in front of His Majesty and upset His Majesty. I also blamed myself for entering the palace, but why did I still think of myself as the daughter of the Zhao family?" As she spoke, Zhao also curled her lips and smiled, "Who knew that the next day, His Majesty would turn over my name card again, and I was so excited that I jumped up. This time, there was a cold wind on the road, but I didn't feel cold at all, I just felt warm all over." At this point, Zhao raised her head and looked at Zhong Zhiheng, who was standing with his back to her, without blinking, with piety and admiration in her eyes, "Because I know that His Majesty has me in his heart."
"Yes, I have you in my heart, so as soon as you entered the palace, I gave you the position of concubine, and I am willing to give your Zhao family face. Therefore, over the years, Zhao Changrong has been smooth sailing in the previous dynasty and became the right prime minister, and you are also a unique talent in the harem and have a position as the vice queen. I think I have treated you and the Zhao family very well," Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, turning around slowly. His eyes wandered over Zhao, and finally fell on Zhao's pale cheek, "Royal Concubine, what do you think?"
