Li Shishi's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "What does the young master say?"
"Sister, the young master said that the Avalokitesvara Temple in No. [-] Tianshui Lane in the inner city is a well-known nunnery. It is said that the Avalokitesvara in the courtyard is quite efficacious. Sister may wish to bring the little prince to pay homage. There will be good fortune."
Chapter 724 Zhao Huizong's Family Affair
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a grand moon-watching banquet was held in the imperial city.
Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji gathered together with the queens, concubines, and princes and concubines headed by Prince Zhao Huan, enjoying the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the wealth of the royal family.
Although Li Shishi was favored, he was sitting quietly in the crowd with his son Zhao Hang at this time, unobtrusive.
Back then, when Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji ran out of the imperial city to find flowers and ask willows, and stayed at the home of Li Shishi, the oiran of Xiaoyu Street, the concubines in the harem were quite jealous.
Empress Zheng once asked the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji, what is the difference between Li Shishi and the beauties in the harem.
At that time, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji replied to Empress Zheng Shi that Li Shishi had a style different from that of concubines in the harem, and even if she stood with the beauties in the harem wearing the same clothes, she could be distinguished at a glance.
After hearing the reply from Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji, the concubines in the palace were very happy.
After Li Shishi entered the palace because she was pregnant, Empress Zheng and all the concubines saw Li Shishi with all kinds of charms, and they knew what the emperor said was true.
It is impossible to say that the concubines in the harem do not have any hostility towards the new Ming concubine Li Shishi.
However, Li Shishi is well-behaved and does not rely on favors to be arrogant. He is very respectful to Queen Zheng and the noble concubines, which gradually reduces everyone's jealousy.
Furthermore, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji is a lustful person, there are hundreds of concubines with names and surnames in the harem, and there are hundreds if not a thousand unnamed maids who have been favored by him.
After Li Shishi entered the palace, because he was pregnant, he couldn't serve the Taoist emperor Zhao Ji. This guy recruited many younger Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyi, and Wanrong, filling the harem to the brim. Sensual dog and horse.
The object of jealousy of Empress Zheng and the noble concubines soon changed.
After Li Shishi gave birth to a son, he kept a low profile and devoted himself to raising and teaching the child, and did not compete with others for favor.
Li Shishi's wise choice seems to be accepted by Queen Zheng and others.Everyone in the harem no longer held any prejudice or hostility towards Li Shishi.
Emperor Daojun is a romantic person, among the concubines in the harem, who has not been favored by him?Having one more Li Shishi is not a big deal.
In fact, the current Queen Zheng was promoted from a favorite concubine to a queen.
Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji married at the age of 17, the daughter of Wang Zao, the governor of Dezhou.After he ascended the throne and became emperor, he conferred the name of Wang as empress according to the etiquette.
However, Empress Wang was married by Emperor Daojun when he was idle king. She was mediocre in appearance and frugal in nature, so she would not please Emperor Daojun.Therefore, although the queen and queen are the main palace, they are not favored.
At that time, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji favored the concubines Zheng and Wang.
The two imperial concubines, Zheng and Wang, were originally servants in the escort squad in the Empress Dowager's palace. They were beautiful and eloquent.
When Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji was an idle vassal king, whenever he went to the Cide Palace to pay his respects, the Queen Mother Xiang always ordered Zheng and Wang to accompany him.
Zheng and Wang are cautious and good at flattery, so they are quite favored by Duan Wang Zhaoji.After a long time, the queen mother also became aware of it.
When Duan Wang Zhao Ji came to the throne, he made a favor with the Queen Mother and gave him Zheng and Wang who were around him.
Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji got his wish and was very happy.
It is said that the Zheng family "since entering the palace, loves to read books, can control chapters, and the emperor loves his talents".
Obviously, Zheng, who was born as a servant in the guard class, is not only outstanding in appearance, but also can help the emperor Daojun deal with the memorial.Therefore, when Emperor Daojun first came to the throne, he preferred the Zheng family.
The Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji, who was born to be turbulent, also bestowed love poems and erotic songs on many occasions to the Zheng family.
After the death of the original concubine, the queen, the Daojun emperor canonized Zheng as the queen in the first year of Zhenghe.Calculating with one's fingers, Mrs. Zheng has also been the queen of the palace for ten years.
In addition to the Zheng and Wang clans, there were Concubine Liu, Concubine Qiao, Concubine Wei and others who were favored by Zhao Ji, the romantic emperor.
The eldest son of Emperor Daojun, the present Prince Zhao Huan is 21 years old this year, and his mother is the Empress Wang who passed away ten years ago.
Because he experienced the pain of losing his biological mother at the age of 11, Prince Zhao Huan's temperament was somewhat affected during his growth. He was cowardly and indecisive, and he was not liked by the Taoist emperor Zhao Ji.
Zhao Tong, the second son of Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji, had the birth mother of the current Empress Zheng.
Because of the relationship between Zhao Tun and his mother, Zhao Ji, the Taoist emperor, was very fond of him.It's a pity that he was in poor health and died early, and was pursued by the heartbroken Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji as King Dagon.
If Zhao Tun survived, after his biological mother Zheng became the empress, he would be the most likely to replace the crown prince Zhao Huan and inherit the Datong in the future.
Zhao Kai, the third son of Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji, is only one year younger than Prince Zhao Huan, and is 20 years old this year.He was named the King of Yun, and his mother was the most favored concubine other than Queen Zheng.
Unfortunately, when Zhao Kai was seven years old, his biological mother Wang Guifei died of illness.After that, it was Empress Zheng who had a good relationship with Wang Guifei and raised Zhao Kai.
After Empress Zheng's own biological son, King Dagon Zhao Tun died early, she treated Yun Wang Zhao Kai as if she had already been born, and took good care of her.
Emperor Daojun also loved Zhao Kai, the son of Zhao Kai, since he was a child because of the reasons of Zheng and Wang.
Under the care and teaching of Emperor Daojun and Empress Zheng, Yun Wang Zhao Kai learned the artist skills of his father Zhao Ji, including piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It is said that Zhao Kaiwen, the king of Yun, had outstanding talents, and he even participated in the imperial examination anonymously, and he was able to go to high school.This incident was once spread as a good talk, which added a lot of prestige to King Yun Zhao Kai.
Inside and outside the palace, it was unanimously agreed that Zhao Kai, King of Yun, was the one who most resembled the emperor among the dozens of sons of the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji.
Now, with Empress Zheng as his backer and the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, who is deeply loved by Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji, has already threatened the status of Prince Zhao Huan.
Many people in the court could see that Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji had the idea of Yi Chu.Some people began to get close to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and wanted to bet on Zhao Kai, who had a deep background.
Of course, although the crown prince Zhao Huan was weaker and less talented than his third brother Zhao Kai, he still had a group of betting ministers around him.
With the help and planning of these people, Prince Zhao Huan also created an image of himself being filial to his parents, diligent in learning and loving the people.
At the beginning, the prince supported the people in the Buddhist sect to fight against Lin Lingsu, and then took advantage of the flood in Bianliang City to force Lin Lingsu away. It may be that he did not invite to buy people's hearts in exchange for the support of Daxiangguo Temple and other religious forces.
Prince Zhao Huan did not make any mistakes. Although Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji favored Yun Wang Zhao Kai, he could only shelve the matter of Yi Chu for the time being.
In today's court, the ministers have their own ideas, but because the Emperor Daojun is in the prime of his life, and the spring and autumn are in full swing, there is no fierce battle for the heir apparent.
In the palace tonight, among dozens of princes and concubines, Crown Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun Zhao Kai were obviously the targets of everyone's attention.
Chapter 725 My Son Will Be King
When Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun Zhao Kai were evenly matched, everyone in the palace believed that the future emperor would be born between these two, and that the other princes would all grow up and go to various places to be idle vassal kings.
At this time, the young Zhao Hangming appeared to be the No. 20 sixth son of Emperor Daojun, and the throne could never be his turn.Therefore, everyone in the palace didn't care much about Ming Concubine Li Shishi's mother and son.
Not to mention Zhao Hang, the 26th prince, even Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor who sits a little closer, never thought that he would be able to ascend the throne one day.
Zhao Gou, who was born on Yisi Day in May of the first year of Daguan, is only 14 years old and still lives in the harem of the imperial city.His biological mother was one of the favorite concubines of Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji, the noble concubine Wei Shi.
In the first month of the next year after Zhao Gou was born, he was named King of Guangping County.Therefore, the current Zhao Gou is still the king of the county, and has not yet been named the well-known King Kang of later generations.
In history, if the Jin army hadn't broken through Bianliang City in Tokyo and captured all Zhao Gou's parents, brothers and nephews to the north, leaving only Zhao Gou a fish that slipped through the net, where would it be his turn to be the ninth son of the Taoist emperor? emperor?
