Chapter 500 Origin
"Your Highness, Emperor Zhao of Zhou may be even more difficult to deal with." Tumi whispered.
Legend has it that Emperor Zhao of Zhou was born into a humble family, his mother a maid who had been favored for a night. His mother died young, and the old nanny was unable to protect him. He was bullied by the eunuchs until he was seven or eight years old, when the late emperor took pity on him and sent him to school, where he learned to read and write.
During this period, Empress Du was the princess's study companion and got to know Emperor Zhao of Zhou. She stepped forward many times to help him solve his problems.
When Emperor Zhao of Zhou reached the age to start his own government, not a single noblewoman was willing to marry him.
Emperor Zhao of Zhou was helpless, fearing that the late emperor had arranged marriages for him, so he begged the late emperor not to make things difficult for the noble lady. He wanted to go to the temple to practice Buddhism with his hair uncut, pray for the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the late emperor, and when the storm was over, he would return, and there would naturally be a good wife waiting for him.
Upon hearing this, the late emperor felt even more distressed.
Is it that the reputation of his imperial family is no longer effective in front of the aristocratic families?
When the late emperor insisted on arranging a marriage, Empress Du took the initiative to step forward.
Empress Du said that her reputation had been damaged by the sudden death of her fiancée's family. If the late emperor did not mind, she would be happy to marry Emperor Zhao of Zhou, manage the household, and have children.
The late emperor was delighted and praised Empress Du for her keen eye for talent.
Then, the late emperor broke the ancestral system and conferred the title of prince on Emperor Zhao of Zhou.
Generally speaking, a child born to a palace maid can only be granted the title of a prince.
Therefore, Queen Du was the white moonlight of Emperor Zhao of Zhou.
Empress Du had been favored for many years but had no children, but Emperor Zhao of Zhou didn't mind at all.
The imperial concubine who appeared out of nowhere before was just a tool used by Emperor Zhao of Zhou to deal with the aristocratic families.
As for Concubine Bai Chen and Concubine Zhao Shu, Emperor Zhao of Zhou would severely punish them if they caused any injustice to Empress Du.
"If Emperor Zhao of Zhou really loved Empress Du so much, why would Empress Du provoke Xiao Ge and Shen Nuo? There must be a hidden story. I don't want to find out. I'll just give it a try." Zhu Huaizhen said leisurely.
Before leaving, Lou Li and Chen Ming'an both told Zhu Huaizhen to be careful of Emperor Zhao of Zhou.
It seems that Emperor Zhao of Zhou was a perfect madman.
"Maybe it's because of being loved that one feels fearless." Tu Mi whispered.
"Tu Mi, love affairs, the drama has already made it very clear, but it cannot defeat the reality. Emperor Zhao of Zhou did not rely on the aristocratic family to ascend to the throne, but today's laws protect the aristocratic family everywhere. It must be that Empress Du is secretly competing with him. Such a couple, even if they were deeply in love in the past, have lost their feelings now. Otherwise, Emperor Zhao of Zhou would not have supported Concubine Bai, a notorious woman, because he took advantage of her old age and pretentiousness." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
"Your Highness, I still don't know what I should give Emperor Zhao of Zhou." Tu Mi thought for a moment.
"Food or clothing. He must have not had enough to eat or enough clothes to wear when he was a child." Qiu Niang said softly.
"Then let's talk about clothes." Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks, smiling like a flower, his eyes moving.
So, Tu Mi carefully selected a box of cloaks, regardless of gender.
There are bright red two-tone gold cloud brocade cloak with white fox fur lining, royal blue cloak with curved water pattern and gold satin, light blue silk cloak with indigo edging, willow yellow satin embroidered with plum blossoms and fox fur cloak, blue satin cloak with colorful cloud and Ganoderma lucidum pattern, lotus green cloak with foreign thread and foreign silk lining, moon white cloak with plain brocade and silver thread edging, snow blue Doro cloth cloak with broken magnolia branches and fox fur cloak, bamboo leaf green cloak with gold thread and flying phoenix pattern, silver-white background and emerald pattern brocade feather satin cloak, etc., all made of high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship.
This box of cloaks was sent over and was returned in less than an incense stick of time.
"Princess Ronghua, His Majesty said that the cold winter is over and he is no longer needed." A handsome eunuch with a white face and no beard was waving a whisk, with a forced smile on his face.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen said "oh" slowly.
Emperor Zhao of Zhou was very interesting. He did not return the gift, which meant that he let Zhu Huaizhen set her own conditions.
