118, the old story of the prince(1/2)

On the day Zhaozhao returned to the house, she also stayed in the second bedroom of the Lin family as Lin Qingwei's mother's family.

Zhaozhao held the cage and watched Qian Jingcheng County jump off the carriage neatly, then took the stool and carefully supported Lin Qingwei's hand to let her get off the carriage.

Lin Qingwei got off the carriage and saw Zhaozhao, and let go of her husband with embarrassment.

These days, Baoer often looks at him like this. Qian Jingcheng's ears turned red and said, "It's snowing and the road is slippery..."

In order to welcome the newcomer back to the door, the snow on the ground was swept clean, so how could it slip? Lin Qingwei glanced at her husband and coughed gently, "Don't stand in the wind, let's go in."

Zhao Zhao looked down at the pearl on the embroidered shoes. If she smiled too hard, she would be even more embarrassed later. She took a step forward and took the initiative to hold her sister's hand.

Lin Qingwei also held her sister's hand back. Zhao Zhao's hand was very warm, and it seemed that there was no difference between pulling it up and going in the past. Lin Qingwei's steps were light, and she pulled her sister and turned her head to see Qian Jingcheng's cheek.

The Lin family was filled with laughter on this day, especially Qian Jingcheng mentioned that his wife would live in the moon.

The so-called living in the moon means staying at the parents' home. This is usually the husband's decision to show his closeness to his wife's home.

"It's good." Mrs. Tang kept nodding and said to Qian Jingcheng: "You should prepare for the spring exam."

Another reason for this arrangement is that the spring exam will be in February of the next year, and the time for the exam is getting closer. Students who have passed the autumn exam this time must focus on next year's spring exam.

After Lin Qingwei's return to the door ended, Wei Zhao went to worship Buddha and fulfill his vows with his mother again.

The winter in Kyoto is colder than that in Jian'an Prefecture, otherwise the rain will not condense into ice and snow, but to a certain extent, Kyoto is warmer than in Jian'an Prefecture.

The room was full of hot charcoal fires, and even the earth dragon was burning very hot. When I went to bed at night, Zhaozhao could only use a thin silk quilt core, otherwise it would be so hot that he would have to kick the quilt.

In previous years, Princess Yuan'an's mansion was just a casual fun. This year, it started to repair the yard where Zhaozhao lived. Before the New Year, it was renovated. Even the current gilded plaque was re-stitched with gold foil. It shone golden light under the sun, which made Zhaozhao think of the lively little fish.

On New Year's Eve, fireworks were set in the palace. Princess Yuan'an hugged Zhaozhao and closed her eyes to make a wish. When she was in Kyoto, she attended dinner every year. When she saw the fireworks, she would make a wish. This time she finally got what she wanted.

When Princess Yuan'an was talking to Princess Yuheng, Zhaozhao was watching the Empress.

Noting Zhao Zhao's gaze, Shen Lan waved to her. When Zhao Zhao stepped forward, she touched her earrings with her fingers, "I'm a little taller."

In fact, not only is she taller, but Wei Zhao discovered that her flat breasts used to be made into small buns. She should pay attention to her martial arts practice in the morning, otherwise it would hurt a little if she encountered them.

"The prince's brother is also taller." Wei Zhao did not call him Minxun in front of others.

Concubine Wang was amused by Zhao Huan's words. She was laughing when she suddenly saw her son looking at the queen. She also saw Wei Zhao in the direction of Zhao Chang'an.

Zhao Zhao turned his head and met Concubine Wang's gaze.

This is the first time she has seen Concubine Wang, a beauty born in a pig-killer family. No one would have thought that she would be illiterate. Concubine Wang is the rare bright beauty Zhao Zhao has ever seen, especially with a pair of smart eyes. When she smiled at the priest, anyone could see that she was in love with the people next to her and was also a little admiration. Zhao Zhao was thinking, maybe this is the reason why her priest is reborn.

Concubine Wang looked at Wei Zhao and smiled, turning her head and ignored her. Even if she had the help of her younger brother Wang Dequan, she still couldn't like this person. As long as Princess Mingyan stood beside the queen, she would not have the good face to get her.

Concubine Wang was disliked Zhao Changan noticed that he wanted to talk to Princess Mingyan after the dinner. At this time, he could only see the mother's appearance. When he learned that the prince sent Princess Yuan'an and Princess Mingyan away, he felt even more indescribable. It was Princess Mingyan he met first, but the two were still getting farther and farther away.

Before the tenth day of the first lunar month, the shops on the street were closed. After ten days, the street became lively again, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was very lively.

On this day's Lantern Festival, Wei Zhao took Princess Yuan'an to visit the Lantern Festival.

Since Princess Yuan'an lost her daughter, she was most afraid of the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival. Holding her daughter's arm and looking at the lights, the panic retreated like a tide.

Zhaozhao also told her how she saved a woman named Xiang'an County at the same time at a similar Lantern Festival.

"The county magistrate of Xiang'an County is still coming to find my godfather." Under the light, his daughter's smile was bright. "He and his godfather cried poorly and wanted to use the money to repair Xiang'an County. If his godfather had just arrived in Yunhe County, he might have responded in a daze. He had just become a local county magistrate, but his godfather was still in a panic and didn't know what to do. Later, he was very clear and focused on making Yunhe develop better."

"As the prefect of Jian'an Prefecture, my godfather is also very concerned about the situation in Yun'an County. Now when he reaches the Ministry of Revenue, he is also talking about Jian'an Prefecture."

"The planting of sweet potatoes is scheduled to be held throughout Hujiangcheng. When planting them in spring, you should be able to see a bumper harvest this fall."

The staple food crops in Hujiang are currently divided into three types: the original millet and the later jade wheat, and now the sweet potatoes are added. How much sweet potatoes can be harvested under large-scale planting depends on this year.

Thinking of the place where my daughter grew up, Princess Yuan'an smiled and said, "Then this fall, let's go and take a look."

"Is this appropriate?" Wei Zhao said, "Aren't you going to study in the girls' school?"

"There is no need to take the top scorer, and the rules are broken, so it doesn't matter."

Wei Zhao whispered, "Mom, let's see again." Her eyebrows frowned. She studied with Master Cen and Sun Zheng, and was praised repeatedly. If she did not do well in the girls' college, she felt that she would slow down. "I'm afraid I can't keep up with my homework."

She frowned and worried about the upcoming homework, which made Princess Yuan'an laugh, feeling that the missed time seemed to have returned.

Princess Yuan'an smiled and said, "It's okay. You performed well at the last time at the flower banquet. Didn't that beautiful Miss Gan still praise you?"

Ganluwen has a sweet appearance and a sweet smile. With this surname, it makes people feel sweet when they pronounce it.

"Mom, you can't take it seriously." Zhao Zhao followed Master Cen. Master Cen was a skill that he never remembered. He was very good at painting. Needless to say, Lin Qingwei was distracted. Zhao Zhao was good at learning two things. At the beginning, he was better than Qian Baoer, but now they were about the same level.

The last flower banquet was clearly prepared for her. No one would say anything wrong with her at that stall. When she thought of this, Zhao Zhao looked at the lights worriedly. The lights were not good enough. She had never studied with so many girls. She must have expectations, but she was also a little scared. Sometimes she felt that the simple life back to Jian'an Mansion was good.

In Wei Zhao's contradictory mood, it was the 20th day of the first lunar month.

Wei Zhao and Qian Baoer paid Shu Xiu's money on this day, the maid tidy up the bed and other things, and just came to the girls' courtyard from home the next day, and then they would have to live in the girls' courtyard for a long time. Qian Baoer has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Seeing that Baoer was worry-free, Zhaozhao thought that his level was similar to Qian Baoer, and at least there was someone to accompany him. If he was worse than other classmates, he would be more diligent. So before Wei Zhao was admitted to the girls' hospital, he kept the matter of working hard in his heart.

Qian Baoer and Wei Zhao are the same age as they are enrolled in school together, and they also live in the same room.

After returning from the girls' courtyard, Wei Zhao first went to Qian's house at noon and stayed at Qian's house for dinner. At night, Bao'er came to have dinner at the princess's house. Wei Zhao sent Qian Bao'er back and saw Liu Guang holding the box.

"What is this?" Zhao Zhao asked curiously.

"This is what His Highness the Crown Prince gave you."

After Zhao Zhao opened it, he found that this was a set of four treasures of the study. It looked like an old thing. Zhao Zhao didn't rush to see the origin of these things. He directly took out Zhao Yilin's letter. Zhao Yilin would definitely state the origin of these things in the letter.

Since we arrived in Kyoto, the letters between the two of us had stopped, and we could say anything in person. At this moment, Wei Zhao touched the box and missed the days of communication in the past. He was not in a hurry to read the letter, and asked Liu Guang: "Can you send a letter to the palace?"

Liu Guang nodded, "But His Highness the Crown Prince gave the order, so that you don't have to reply tonight. I'll send it to you when the letter is almost the same as usual."

Wei Zhao pinched the thickness of the letter in her hand, and she was a little amused. She spent three days writing the letter she had to write at least once in the girls' courtyard. She had to distract her homework in the girls' courtyard, and she didn't know how long it would take.

"Okay." Wei Zhao said, "but the girls' courtyard will be closed for half a month. If I wrote it in advance, how can I send it there?"

Liuguang took out a silver whistle, "The princess can use this whistle to contact me."

This whistle is different from other whistles. It only has the sound of airflow and cannot be heard. However, Liuguang and others have a way to hear the hidden sounds inside. After teaching Wei Zhao how to use it, Zhao Zhao put the whistle into the embroidery bag.

When he opened Zhao Yilin's letter, the first thing he said was his anxiety about the first time he entered school. When he entered school, he brought this set of four treasures in the study. The four treasures in the study were given to him by Mr. Shen. He brought this set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He was like a god in the first small exam, so he gave this set of four treasures in the study that he could no longer use, hoping that she would have good results.

Why did Zhao Yilin feel nervous when he entered school? It was because he was one and a half years behind the third prince.

As for why he fell behind for one and a half years, it was because he had acne at that time, and the Changning Palace was closed for more than a year. At that time, no one could teach him to study, only Chen Lan.

Because of the mention of acne disease, Zhao Yilin talked about this past event, which was also the most difficult year for him and his mother.

This acne disease is smallpox. During the outbreak period, the face and even the body are covered with blisters of all sizes. If you scratch at this time, scars will be left.

It will be very itchy when you get acne. At that time, Zhao Yilin, who was only six years old, resisted the itch. He didn't even dare to cry too hard, for fear that the acne would break and leave scars due to the force.

Queen Chen Lan personally took care of Zhao Yilin and gently wiped her son with silk cotton and dipped it in salt water little by little, trying to relieve the itching.

At that time, it was also the most dangerous time for the position of the prince. If the palace maid was bought, as long as a few more herpes were exposed, even if Zhao Yilin survived the smallpox, he would definitely be considered to be flawed in appearance. He chose another person in the position of the prince. It is conceivable who the so-called choice of another person falls on.

The queen could only risk getting smallpox, and let people smoke the house with strong vinegar every day. She covered her mouth and nose by herself, and all her clothes covered her naked skin long. With this method, she took care of Zhao Yilin in fear.

Fortunately, Zhao Yilin has always been in good health. After surviving this time, Chen Lan did not get the smallpox. However, another palace maid and a eunuch in Changning Palace later obtained the smallpox. The smallpox was no longer relapsed in Changning Palace for three months, but the emperor still kept the Changning Palace for more than ten months. It was still because the New Year was coming and it could not be closed anymore, so he chose a good day to open the palace gate of Changning Palace.

At that time, the Ministry of Works specially built two tracks, one high and the other low. If something was needed in Changning Palace, people would put the things on a small cart and slip from high to low to the palace gate of Changning Palace. What kind of things should be sent out, such as the Gongguan in the entire Changning Palace, which was given out in this way.

After not studying with others for a year, Chen Lan taught his son himself, so Zhao Yilin was nervous about his first admission. However, he also wrote in the letter that Lord Ou seemed to think he had a stern face and a calm temperament, but he didn't know that he was panicked and anxious at that time.

Seeing Zhao Yilin writing as easily as possible, Wei Zhao could see the danger and terrifying heart.

Fortunately, I survived it and didn't have any scars.

Zhao Yilin's smallpox this time was very dangerous. After he survived it, he also benefited from it. The first benefit he received was that those who had overcome it would not get a second time. This was the previous dynasty. Because he had overcome it, he got the position of prince, which gave him more bargaining chips.

The second thing that benefited was that his mind grew rapidly. He was too with the empress dowager, and everything went well with the empress dowager. He never felt that the position of the prince was likely to fall. He realized that at that time that the undercurrents were actually surging under the calm waves, and his father did not love him so much, otherwise he would not have been sealed with Changning Palace for more than a year at the age when he was about to enter school.

After the Changning Palace was unsealed, the queen also showed her thunderous means for the first time. This time it was not Concubine Wang, but the newly favored Zhaoyi.

Empress Chen Lan's methods also made Concubine Wang completely extinguish the mind after that. The crown prince was the queen's reverse scale and could not touch it. Concubine Wang was also frightened during that period. She obviously did not harm the crown prince, for fear that the queen would be liquidated and implicated her Chang'an, otherwise Concubine Wang would have planned to fight the death with Shen Lanyu. Fortunately, the queen had no intention of being involved.

The lights jumped in the glass cover and sighed, how good would it be if the smallpox could be cured.

But when it comes to smallpox, this reminds Zhao Zhao of something.

She lifted her sleeves and exposed her white jade-like arms. There were three small pits in the middle of her left forearm. She touched her fingers, which looked quite like acne pits of smallpox.

After reading the letter, Wei Zhao put it in his arms and ran to find his mother. Princess Yuan'an had just finished taking a shower. Xiaolu used a soft towel to dry her hair, and first pressed and kneaded it carefully with the medicine liquid sent by Wei Zhao. During this period, a lot of new black hair stubble were born. When combing Princess Yuan'an's hair, she had to pay attention and use hair oil to prevent these broken hair from being too messy.

Seeing that his daughter was coming, Wei Changle refused to let Xiaolu continue to press her, and casually tied a knot in her hair, "Why are you here?"

"I received a letter and thought of something. I was afraid that I would forget too much about it tomorrow morning, so I simply came over to ask my mother at night."

"What's up?"

"Mom, do I have smallpox?"

Princess Yuan'an shook her head, "No, why did you think so?"

Zhao Zhao lifted up her sleeves and said to her mother: "The letter was sent by Brother Minxun. The letter said that he had received smallpox before, which reminded me of one thing: am I acne marks from smallpox?"

Princess Yuan'an was shocked and went to look at the acne marks carefully. She called Madam He to come and see, "Madam He, look."

When Madam He was looking carefully, Princess Yuan'an said, "Madam He has a nephew who had smallpox at that time, and then it got better. A few months later, Madam He went back to see her nephew, so she knew what the acne marks of smallpox looked like."

"It's very similar." said Madam He, "but my nephew has many bumps, not like the princess, there are only three small dots."

"If you take good care of it, you may only leave some traces, or no trace at all. Just like the prince, there will be no scars on his face." After Wei Changle finished speaking, she just... had another question. She looked up at Zhaozhao and said strangely, "You didn't have time in Kyoto, did you have the Lin family?"
To be continued...
