Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Extra II: My Empress, Our Lifelong Promise

In the evening, Zhao Chengjun finished the day’s memorials and went back to Kunning Palace to have an evening meal.

Zhao Jingshu and the rest were not surprised. After they greeted their father, they scattered in the main hall and played their own games. Zhao Chengjun sat next to Tang Shishi, took Zhao Ziyan in her hand, and asked, “Did he trouble you today?”

“No.” Tang Shishi said, “Ziyan is very obedient. He seldom cries except when he is hungry or uncomfortable.”

This was the truth. Zhao Zigao has been making trouble since he was young, and he has not been idle for a moment. Zhao Jingshu has set the highest record of hypocrisy. It might be that the older brother and sister had used up the share. So, the next two children, one was more superior and the other was quiet and easy to take care of.

Zhao Chengjun nodded, he still trusted Zhao Ziyan and Zhao Jingqin. Zhao Chengjun held the chubby hand of his youngest son, and asked unexpectedly, “Zhao Ziyan didn’t, then what about them?”

The main hall suddenly became extremely quiet. Zhao Zigao’s chess movement stopped. Zhao Jingshu was originally playing with Zhao Jingqin with a jump rope, but now she did not make a scene. Zhao Ziyan opened his eyes wide and quietly looked at the various beings in the main hall. His eyes seemed to say, I can’t help you either.

Zhao Jinggao stood up first, saluted Zhao Chengjun, and said, “It’s me and a few others who are stupid and can’t share the worries with Empress mother. Instead, let Emperor father worry about it. I’ll go back to study and practice writing.”

Zhao Jingshu blinked her eyes and finally reacted. She also responded immediately afterward, “I will go back too. If I can’t finish my studies today, I won’t come out to eat.”

Zhao Chengjun laughed and said, “It’s really embarrassing for you two to let your younger sister help you out.”

As soon as he heard it, Zhao Zigao knew that he could not avoid today’s incident. He sighed in his heart and was about to admit his mistake, but Zhao Jingshu said first, “Emperor father, I was wrong.”

Zhao Zigao choked as he heard Zhao Jingshu continue to say, “I shouldn’t disturb the class or make Taifu angry. If my Emperor father wants to punish, just punish me.”

Zhao Zigao also hurriedly said, “Emperor father, it’s me who’s wrong. I’m the Taizi and shouldn’t quarrel with my younger sister. At that time, Taifu was coming soon, and I shouldn’t have left Wenyuan Palace. Emperor father, please punish me.”

The two children acknowledged their mistakes one after another. Zhao Chengjun saw that they had a good attitude towards confessing their mistakes and said, “The fault can be forgiven, but the punishment cannot be excusable. Zhao Zigao can go back to copy the Teachings of Emperor Ming Zu ten times. Zhao Jingshu, don’t wink at your mother, you also copy too.”

When Tang Shishi heard this, she raised her eyebrows, “Ten times?”

Teachings of Emperor Ming Zu were a family rules left by the founding fathers to future generations, which has not been fully formed, but it was already very thick. Zhao Zigao was strong. Besides, he was the Taizi and has been studying with Taifu for several years. It was not a problem for him to copy the ancestral teachings, but Zhao Jingshu has to copy it ten times… It was a bit cruel.

Zhao Jingshu has a bitter face when she heard it, and stretched her voice to say, “Emperor father…”

“It’s useless to act like a baby,” Zhao Chengjun remained unmoved and said, “There’s no discussion. You’re really too spoiled. I told you earlier to go to the internal school. You’re either sick or say you want to look after your younger brother, but you won’t go. If you go on fooling around, you’ll only hurt yourself. Today, I told the officials that if there are any school-age girls in their family, they can report their names to me as I’m still willing to allow you, this mischievous person to follow good examples. After a few days, you’ll have a study companion to study with you.”
