Chapter 117: Hong Zhou takes Cui Jia as his concubine; Fu Heng trains horses
As he was speaking, a palace maid came to report that the prince had come to pay his respects.
Zhen Huan smiled and put down the water pipe: "Look, if you mention the devil, he will appear. Please come in."
Hong Zhou entered the main hall and knelt directly before Zhen Huan: "Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."
Zhen Huan: "Hurry up and get up! I was just thinking about you and here you are."
Hong Zhou grinned and said, "My son is missing the Empress Dowager."
"You are afraid that Nianqin will complain to me." Zhen Huan directly pointed out his little thoughts.
Hong Zhou smiled awkwardly: "The Empress Dowager saw through me. My son did come here because of this matter."
"Don't worry, given my relationship with your mother, I can't bear to punish you."
Hong Zhou was relieved then and peeled the orange and handed it to Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan took it and ate it with a smile: "You should be more stable in the future. Nianqin is your elder after all. Even if he sometimes speaks without thinking, you should not take it to heart."
"My son knows."
"By the way, how is your wife doing? She was weak after giving birth, and the child unfortunately died. I have been worried about her all the time."
Hong Zhou's expression suddenly became sad.
"You and my brother gave her many supplements, and you gave her your son to your wife. But she blamed herself every day for the death of her child. Now, after all these years, she has gradually come to terms with it."
Zhen Huan sighed repeatedly, "Time heals all wounds. Hong Zhou, you must love her well."
"Your Majesty, your son has something he would like to ask for your support."
Zhen Huan: "Go ahead."
"Do you still remember Cui Jiashi, who was by Fu Jin's side?"
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "She must be the maidservant that came with the Wuzaku clan as a dowry."
Hong Zhou nodded and said, "She has been serving my son on behalf of the concubine for the past few years. Now that she is pregnant, my son wants to take her as his concubine. I beg the Empress Dowager to agree."
"Since she's pregnant, I'll marry her as you wish."
"It's just that Cui Jia's background isn't very good."
Hong Zhou said, "My Queen Mother, a beautiful lady is a dream come true for a gentleman. My son is trying to emulate his brother, the Emperor."
Zhen Huan stopped talking. Even the emperor took the lead in entering the brothel, so she just turned a blind eye. She could live longer by not meddling in other people's business.
"Empress Dowager, what about Hengti...are you really going to let her become a nun and leave her alone?"
Zhen Huan's eyes were filled with sadness. "What can my family do? She is determined to become a nun. This ending is also good for both of them."
Hong Zhou frowned slightly. Yuan Che was definitely a good match for Heng Ti, but the Queen Mother's attitude made him suspicious.
He raised his hand and rubbed his frown. He didn't bother to care about this matter.
"My Queen Mother, I will take my leave now and visit you again another day."
Zhen Huan: "Okay."
When Hong Zhou left, he also took away two vases that were given to her by the previous emperor.
Zhen Huan shook her head repeatedly and gave him a piece of jade, telling him to give it to Cui Jia.
Fujia: "You, Queen Mother, dote on Prince He too much."
"This Hong Zhou is very thoughtful. The late emperor doted on him when he was still alive. Now the emperor is good at employing people. Hong Zhou is so talented. How can I not dote on him? Come on, I'm tired too. Fujia, help me take a nap."
Hong Zhou was playing with the jadeite beside Ah Qing and asked, "Prince, do you want to go back to the palace?"
Hong Zhou threw the jadeite to him and said, "You go back first. I will go find Fu Heng."
Shangsiyuan
Fu Heng was taming a wild horse. Hong Zhou sat in the first seat and watched Fu Heng taming the horse. He saw that he had been trying for a long time but the horse did not give in.
Hong Zhou stood up and shouted, "Just kill him with one blow, why waste all that time?"
