She Song

Chapter 327 The prince and princess visit Zhao Ji
Since Zhao Ji returned to Tokyo, he and the deposed Empress Dowager Zheng, dozens of female relatives and dozens of eunuchs, lived in the second courtyard. Like Zhao Huan, they stayed behind closed doors. Except for Zhao Huan's daily greetings, he did not receive any outsiders.

Early on the third day, two carriages stopped in front of the door. Han Xiaoyao, Zuo Wangfei Maode and Han Yuerong's wet nurse, surrounded by Huandie and internal guards, knocked on the door and asked for a visit.

Unexpectedly, the door did not open, but lazily responded from the crack of the door: "Master is resting, no outsiders will be seen, please forgive me!"

Han Xiaoyao smiled slightly and looked at his wife. He naturally knew that this was because Zhao Ji was worried that Han Xiaoyao would find an excuse to accuse him, so he was avoiding disaster in this way.

Zhao Fujin knocked on the door again. The eunuch inside the door was probably annoyed and raised his voice and said: "Please leave the guest quickly and don't pester me!"

"Ke Fujin is not an outsider!" Zhao Fujin said bluntly, "Today I only came to visit my father."

"Bang!" Something seemed to break behind the door, followed by a rush, and the door opened immediately.

An old eunuch in blue and two young eunuchs lay on the ground shivering, begging for mercy over and over again: "I didn't know His Highness was here, please spare me this time!"

Zhao Fujin recognized that this was Senior Official Lan in the palace, and Senior Official Lan also recognized Emperor Maode, so he opened the door to greet her and fell down on the ground to apologize.

Zhao Fujin, who has already taken charge of power, has a different vision and state of mind than Wu Xia Amon. Naturally, it is impossible for him to show authority to his father's servants. He nodded and said: "It doesn't matter! Everyone, get up. This is the King of Zhenbei. I will visit my father with Fujin. Can you ?”

How could Mr. Lan dare to say "no"?He stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out that the prince is here. Come on, please come inside!"

Huan Die made a gesture, and the eight female internal guards worked in pairs to control the key points of the annex. The four female internal guards protected the prince and princess as they walked to the main hall of the annex.

Official Lan invited the two of them into the main hall, served tea and dried fruits, and talked with them.

A young eunuch had already rushed to the backyard to report to Zhao Ji and Zheng. When he heard that Han Xiaoyao was coming, Zhao Ji suddenly felt uneasy, but Zheng was quick to respond.

"The officials can rest assured, since Mao De is also here, it must not be a bad thing!"

Zhao Ji thought about it and thought it made sense, but he had broken both legs. How could he meet people like this?
Mrs. Zheng sighed and said: "Didn't the officials say they only want to live a long life? Then let Prince Han and Fu Jin meet, so that they can rest assured..."

So, two eunuchs carried Zhao Ji and Zheng on their seats to the main hall to meet their daughter and son-in-law.

When the two parties met, Zhao Ji, who saw Han Xiaoyao for the first time, realized that the man was gentle and elegant, not like the rough and brutal refugee leader at all. Standing with his daughter, he actually looked like a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Han Xiaoyao didn't expect that his emperor's father-in-law would have gray hair and not have the demeanor of an immortal Taoist king. Looking at Kong's deflated trouser legs, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Why should I have known today?

Although Zhao Fujin was excited, he was about to kneel down and bow in accordance with the rules. Husband and wife were one, so Han Xiaoyao would not embarrass his wife and was also preparing to kneel down and bow.

"Daughter pays respects to father!"

"My son-in-law has seen Mount Tai!"

Zheng was a delicate person. Now that the life and death of nearly a hundred members of her family were in the hands of her son-in-law, how could she really let him kneel down and quickly reach out to support Maode.

He turned to Zhao Ji and said, "Sir, why do you say that Xianxiu and Fujin are both members of our own family, so we don't need those false gifts, right?"

The title "Master" is generally used as a respectful title for the wives of officials to address their husbands. At this time, it was used to express that Zhao Ji had no intention of fighting for imperial power.

Zhao Ji knew it well, so he deliberately smiled and said: "That's how it should be. No courtesy or courtesy for my family! Sit down and talk!"

Although there was no need to kneel down, Han Xiaoyao still bowed and Zhao Fujin performed the standard blessing ceremony before the two of them took their seats.After the polite greetings, Zhao Ji was worried about violating a taboo and didn't know what to say.

It must be said that Mrs. Zheng is very considerate in dealing with people and things. In order not to be left in the cold, she took the initiative to look at the infant Han Yuerong and asked with a smile: "Yuerong should be a hundred days old, right?"

This sentence immediately touched Zhao Fujin's heart, and he hugged his daughter to Mrs. Zheng: "There are only five days until the [-]th day. Now all I can do is eat and sleep."

"As the old saying goes: Being able to eat and sleep is a blessing!" Mrs. Zheng hugged Han Yuerong and smiled at Zhao Ji again: "Master, look, your little granddaughter is white and tender. She will be a beauty like Fu Jin in the future!"

When Zhao Ji saw Han Yuerong, he immediately recalled Zhao Fujin's appearance when he was a child, and he couldn't help but like it. He nodded and said, "These eyebrows and features do look like Fu Jin's, good, good!"

As he spoke, he took out a small gold lock from his arms and stuffed it into the swaddling clothes, and said to his daughter with some shame: "The meeting gift is quite shabby, don't blame the two of you!"

Not to mention, Zhao Ji's food, drink, and clothing were all allocated by the Provisional State Council at this time. He didn't have much money. He still managed to get this golden lock together as a meeting gift for Han Yuerong.

It was not surprising that there were many people in the ceremony. Zhao Fujin knew the details of the No. [-] Villa very clearly. Seeing his father spending so much money, he felt emotional in his heart. In addition, due to family affection, he began to ask for help, and the atmosphere in the main hall became more natural.

As he spoke, Zhao Ji laughed at himself: "My father is nearly fifty years old, and he has become a cripple with bad habits. From now on, I will close the door and thank guests, just to spend my old age in peace."

How smart Zhao Fujin was, knowing that these words were obviously meant for him but actually meant for Han Xiaoyao, so he winked at his husband.

Han Xiaoyao smiled slightly and took over the conversation: "Don't worry, Master Taishan. I have ordered people to build a wheelchair for you to drive. I also asked skilled craftsmen to develop a 'prosthetic limb'. Once completed, Taishan can walk freely."

"Oh?" Zhao Ji didn't understand what "wheelchair" and "prosthetic limbs" were, but he was really moved when he heard that he could walk freely. But after a second thought, he refused and said, "A good son-in-law is at the core and must have a lot of things to do every day. How can he care about trivial matters?" So much trouble?"

Han Xiaoyao smiled and said: "You are indeed busy if you say you are busy, but you are not busy if you say you are not busy. To be honest, Fu Jin is much busier than my son-in-law. At least she is responsible for the final implementation of wheelchairs and prosthetics."

Huh?
This surprised Zhao Ji and Zheng. Zhao Ji said hesitantly: "The family law of the ancestors: the harem is not allowed to interfere with the government! Although a good son-in-law loves Fu Jin, he must not be allowed to act too randomly, so as not to cause trouble..."

This statement immediately made Zhao Fujin dissatisfied, so he explained: "What my father didn't know was that in the Yanyun Management Committee, women accounted for [-]% of the officials. My daughter discovered that in some fields, women can do as well as men!"

Zhao Ji looked at Han Xiaoyao, who nodded and said, "It is true. Women are more efficient in many aspects such as teachers, medical care, finance, scientific research, etc. Of course, Yanyun does not discriminate against women and has achieved equal pay for equal work, allowing more women to exert their own value.”

In order to prove himself, Zhao Fujin, who was affirmed, immediately explained to his father the development of "wheelchairs" and "prosthetic limbs", from functions, materials to convenience, and did a simple science popularization.

"Therefore, wheelchairs can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the implementers, while prostheses need to be continuously adjusted and adjusted according to the patient's specific conditions. The patient also needs to persist in physical exercise, and eventually he can walk independently with the help of crutches."

Mrs. Zheng was amazed, and Zhao Ji also looked at her daughter with admiration. Listening to Zhao Fujin's detailed description of various novel scientific research projects in Tsinghua University, he suddenly felt that he was completely out of step with this era.

Suddenly, Han Yuerong woke up and started crying with her eyes wide open. The young wet nurse suggested that Han Yuerong was hungry, so Mrs. Zheng took Zhao Fujin and the wet nurse to hold Han Yuerong in the side room for breastfeeding.

Zhao Ji hesitated again and again, and then decided to speak: "A wise son-in-law is gifted with extraordinary talents. He has as many elite soldiers and generals as his command. He has saved China from collapse. He has benefited the common people and can succeed to the throne of emperor!"

"Really?"

Zhao Ji quickly replied: "Really!"

Han Xiaoyao nodded and said, "My son-in-law is very pleased that Taishan has such an idea, but the 'Emperor' is fine!"

what?
Zhao Ji frowned, thinking that Han Xiaoyao was on guard against him, so he said: "The new dynasty is about to be established. Who else in the world can be a good son-in-law? Is it because he does not want to be emperor because he has concerns?"
