For some unknown reason, although the little girl was rescued, she continued to cry non-stop and no one could comfort her. However, as soon as Zhao Xi approached, the little girl would immediately stop crying and stare at Zhao Xi with sparkling eyes.

  It's said that children under three years old can see their past lives. Being stared at by this little girl made Zhao Xi feel a chill run down his spine.

  Zhao Xi tried several times, all like this. At first, no one noticed, but when Zhao Xi walked back and forth, Empress Cao discovered it.

  The little girl is still crying, it's still that heart-wrenching kind of cry...

  "Xī ér, rǔ guò lái..."

  Translation: "Xi'er, come here..."

  Zhao Xi was speechless and wanted to touch his nose to express his helplessness.

  As expected, he approached and the little girl stopped crying.

  Then, Zhang wanted to hold her, but as soon as she slightly moved away from Zhao Xi, the little girl cried again. Neither her real mother nor her wet nurse could comfort her.

  "Zhang, now that you have a child of your own, and Xiang'er is so attached to Xi'er, why don't I take her to Ciming Palace..."

  It turns out that Empress Cao is the birth mother of all the princes and princesses, so she doesn't need to discuss with anyone when raising this child.

  It was just her virtue that made it impossible for her to force other consorts to do things they didn't want to do.

  All of this, Zhao Zhen was like a passerby, just watching, still in the shock that Zhao Xi had given him, unable to recover.

  "Your Majesty..."

  Even imperial physicians didn't dare address him directly, using the very formal "Your Majesty" instead.

  Zhao Zhen glanced at the imperial physician and casually waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly...

  Alas! I was on duty today and rushed over, but unfortunately, I'm not familiar with children's illnesses at all. The King of Wu slapped me in the face. The imperial physician is also very hurt.

  Fortunately, the government didn't blame...

  Not to mention him, even the palace maid in charge of taking care of Xiangniang, Zhao Zhen forgot to deal with her, and her mind was always confused, wondering how Xier knew this lifesaving method.

  Mrs. Zhang is pregnant again, and it's just like that for little Ya Touzi too.

  Not even having the status of inheriting the great tradition, staying by his side is just to let the officials see...

  Since the queen said so, she simply went along with it and agreed.

  This time on the way back, Xiaoyao must have seen Zhao Xi in her eyes. Zhao Xi was really convinced that he and Xiaoyao had indeed met for the first time, and it was a bit inexplicable.

  The queen said this was a deep brotherly and sisterly love, carried in the blood, Zhao Zhen also deeply agreed, and Zhao Xi could not help but acknowledge it. From then on, whatever they said had to be deeply felt, even if it wasn't, it had to be made to feel deep.

  Zhao Zhen seemed to have something to ask, but it wasn't suitable on the road, so they endured until they arrived at Ciming Palace.

  "Xier, how did you know this method of saving people?"

  Alas, it's come to this, Zhao Xi has been thinking all along and can't find a suitable excuse.

  "Guān jiā, xī ér dú shū chù lèi páng tōng, jǔ yī fǎn sān, cóng bù dú sǐ shū..."

  Translation: "Officially, Xier reads books with insight and understanding, grasping the underlying principles, never just reading dead texts..."

  The queen said, taking out the plan for the kick-off ceremony... She kept it like a treasure, wrapped in brocade.

  Yes, Zhao Xi has also figured it out. This plan for a carefree and playful scheme is almost like a feasibility report, but that's not something anyone taught him, he's just clever, and with the excuse of being clever, everything can be explained away.

  "Dad, kids often put things on the table and they move when hit. Xinger thought that if she inhaled something through her mouth and nose, hitting would make it cough out..."

  The principle should be like this, right? Zhao Xi was uncertain, it seemed that only this explanation could make sense.

  It's okay, Zhao Zhen has been attracted by the kick ball plan he made, and hummed a sound, considering this matter over.

  ……

  Zhao Xi brought joy to Zhao Zhen, but it didn't last long. Perhaps as soon as Zhao Zhen left Ciming Palace, it disappeared. No way, his brain was filled with too much, and couldn't hold on to the excessive indulgence in Xi'er's charm.

  Fu Bi went out, Fan Zhongyan went out, and Zhao Zhen originally wanted to keep Du Yan to support the new policy, being mature and steady, to stabilize the imperial court. There were also Ouyang Xiu, Yu Jing, Wang Su and others as remonstrance officials, who could also prevent the imperial court from becoming a single voice.

  But things often go against our wishes.

  Ouyang Xiu stuck his neck out and repeatedly petitioned on behalf of Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan to defend them.

  No explanation would have been fine, but the more explanations given, the more confusing it becomes. In the end, I'm still being criticized for my improper wording... Alas, why can't anyone be considerate and understand my good intentions?

  Zhao Zhen felt that he had entrusted Fan and Fu to slow down, not because they did not support the new policy, but just wanted to slow down. Unexpectedly, it led to even more chaos in the imperial court.

  Ouyang Xiu was again demoted and sent away.

  The entire New Deal promoter, in the temple hall, almost all of them were defeated. Zhao Zhen couldn't even figure out whether he was afraid of trouble or if the New Deal had brought him trouble and made him reject it.

  He just hopes that the imperial court can calm down for a while, so that he can also catch his breath.

  Is that possible?

  These days, when Sun Fu taught classes, he also occasionally commented on the chaos in the imperial court, and his words naturally leaned towards the New Deal.

  Zhao Xi also captured the chaotic changes on the imperial court, and knew that the current imperial court was a mess, even this Jiangshan was a mess.

  As Sun Fu's lectures revealed more and more about the corruption of the imperial court, Zhao Xi also gained a deeper understanding of the current state of the Song Dynasty, laying the foundation for his thoughts on the entire imperial court.

  He finally understood why his old man's eyebrows had never relaxed.

  A tangled mess requires a sharp knife, but your old man is actually a dull one, so it's no wonder things are the way they are.

  It's not even worth worrying about, these young masters just treat Sun Wukong's story as a joke, no one worries about this.

  The princes and their attendants would gather together to discuss only cuju, only the cuju market outside Bianjing City.

  From the skilled Cuju players of Bianjing to the star players of each family, to the crowded scenes at every match, and the entire market's merchants and traders, all the way to the ticket sales for each match.

  Finally, Cuju was made big by the open market of the Great Song Dynasty.

  However, there is one thing that Zhao Xi finds strange. To this extent, the counterattack he advocated should have appeared and should be quite popular in sales, but so far he has not seen it, nor has he even heard any discussion about it.

  "Mother, I once proposed a plan for retaliation, but I don't know if Uncle's family has taken care of it. How is the implementation going now?"

  Without any leads, Zhao Xi could only ask Niang Niang. As for the newspaper business, in Zhao Xi's heart, it was more important than running a pawnshop.

  Empress Cao was stunned by Zhao Xie's question like this.

  To be honest, these days of making money in the market have made her forget that there is still a debt to be repaid.

  The maternal uncle's family was also informed at that time when they were in the carving workshop, and then never mentioned again. I didn't pay attention to it either.

  That... can this kind of business really make money? Empress Cao was still in doubt.

  "Xī ér, I haven't asked about you for a long time. Today, I'll send someone to ask about you."

  Empress Cao didn't hide it either. As for her son, she didn't need to and wasn't paying attention. Now that Xi'er asked, she could just ask someone herself.

  It doesn't matter if it's the Cao family or one of the other five families, no one takes revenge seriously. The king mentioned that buying out the carving workshop wouldn't cost much in terms of food and wages to support those people.

  It's called revenge, but no one has ever taken it to heart.
