Yutang.

"Yu Rui kowtows to the emperor's uncle, and wishes him long life, eternal blessings, and happiness every day." Zhao Yurui kowtowed heavily, bang bang bang, and his forehead hit the ground with a loud bang.

Song Ningzong was surprised, happy, and distressed: "Please get up with Rui Kuai."

Ning Zong was kind and heartbroken to see his little nephew kowtow so seriously.

Yao Bizhi, who was standing behind Zhao Yurui, was briefly absent-minded. Zhao Yurui was always different, and this time he didn't even call out to His Majesty.

Of course, in the Southern Song Dynasty, relatives in the palace were more often called father, mother, eldest brother, eldest sister, unlike in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, who always called father, queen, mother, queen, brother, and brother.

Coupled with the kindness of Song Ningzong, Zhao Yurui simply came up and called him uncle, which instantly brought the two of them closer.

"Sure enough, he is a talented person." Song Ningzong looked at Zhao Yurui standing in front of him with a smile, and was very satisfied with Zhao Yurui's condition and character.

Ning Zong is a relatively easy-going person, so he doesn't want to make decisions on many things. Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang decide.

No matter whether the former prince Zhao Xun or the current prince Zhao Hong, they were more reserved when they saw him, and even walked on thin ice in front of him.

Zhao Yurui has a cheerful and generous personality. He calls him uncle when he comes up and is very easy-going. He immediately gained Ning Zong's favor.

"Come here, give me a seat." Song Ningzong waved happily at this time.

A fair eunuch standing behind Song Ningzong's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhao Yurui in disbelief.

Yao Bizhi was also shocked.

When Zhao Hong met the saint for the first time, he did not receive such treatment.

The eunuch turned around and went to set up a stool nearby.

The stool is actually not far away, right behind Zhao Yurui.

"Yurui came by himself." Zhao Yurui was faster, taking three steps and two steps, and grabbed the stool first.

The eunuch looked embarrassed.

Zhao Yurui smiled, turned around, held the stool, put it not far in front of the emperor, and sat down.

The eunuch could only retreat behind the emperor.

Song Ningzong laughed and felt that his nephew was interesting, very easy-going, and very much like himself.

"Have you ever read books with Rui?" Song Ningzong asked at this time.

Of course Zhao Yurui had read it, but he had almost forgotten it. He was not as good at reading as his brother Zhao Yuju, but fortunately, before entering the palace, he was made up for by the Ministry of Rites and Shi Miyuan.

He said: "I have been studying with my mother, but because of my playfulness, my homework is not as good as that of my elder brother."

Yao Bizhi's expression changed slightly, Zhao Yurui shouldn't have answered like this.

Song Ningzong looked at him with a smile on his face, not unhappy.

"Ever since meeting the Prime Minister and knowing that Rui Hongfu and Rui Hong are as blessed as the heavens, and that they have received divine grace and become King Yi, Rui has secretly made up his mind to study the books of sages and sages carefully and learn the principles of life, so as to serve the court of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

People, do your part.”

"I don't seek merit with Rui, but I seek the trust of my uncle and the cultivation of the prime minister."

"What a great person for the people of the Song Dynasty." Song Ningzong was very satisfied with this sentence and praised it full of praise.

When most people see the emperor, they always think about His Majesty. Only Zhao and Rui just didn't say "For His Majesty the Emperor", but for the court and the people.

Ning Zong's favorable impression of Zhao Yurui skyrocketed.

Yao Bizhi was a little lost again.

The Zhao Yurui in front of him was not the Zhao Yurui he was familiar with in Shaoxing. Facing His Majesty the Emperor, he was generous and calm, chatting and laughing, and it really looked like an ordinary exchange between relatives.

The Prime Minister and Liang Cheng both thought that Zhao Yurui was young and playful, so maybe they misjudged them?

Song Ningzong's health has not been good these past few months, and his mental complexion is usually quite poor, but today he talked a lot with Zhao Yurui and his mental state is also very good.

The two chatted for a long time, and the elders in the palace came over one after another to recognize the new King Yi.

At this time, Zhao and Rui discovered that the emperor was really frugal.

Ning Zong only had Queen Yang, his wife Zhong, Cao Meiren, and Gaoping County beauty Yan, a total of four concubines.

Among them, Zhong is the youngest, about 20 to less than 30 years old. Cao Mei and Yan are over 30 years old, but Yan is not here today. Later Zhao and Rui found out that Yan was pregnant.

Longzi.

Ning Zong was really unlucky. His first nine biological sons died one after another. Later, he had to choose an heir from the clan in order to become the heir apparent. He may have known that he was not in good health, so he required him to be over fifteen years old.

It is because of this mandatory requirement of being over fifteen years old that Shi Miyuan chose brothers Zhao and Rui to come to Lai'an for an interview.

After the concubines arrived, Zhao and Rui paid homage to them one by one. The queen called them aunt, and the others called empress.

No problem, elders can call them empress.

After Empress Yang paid him a visit, she added: "Your Majesty, do you want Yu Rui to stay in the capital or to be outsourced? Yu Rui is not young anymore, should he train himself hard? (outsourced)"

The meaning of judgment is to seal off a town and become the leader of the local military and government.

Ning Zong thought for a while and did not answer immediately.

Zhao Yurui heard this sentence keenly. Shi Miyuan asked him not to outsource, but Shi Miyuan's ally, Queen Yang, didn't mean this? This means that Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang can't communicate on everything.

?Or, deliberately inducing Mrs. Zhong to object? Because if Queen Yang proposed it, Mrs. Zhong would definitely object.

After a while, Ning Zong raised his head and asked Zhao Yurui: "Does Yurui have any ideas?"

Zhao Yurui said: "Yurui has just ascended the throne and is afraid of making a fool of his generosity. He wants to study hard for a year or two before judging the place."

Song Ningzong hesitated, because Zhao Yurui's stepmother, Yu, was not very old, and besides outsourcing, she could learn and work at the same time.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong beside her said with a smile: "When you come to the capital with Rui Chu, you can stay a few more days and visit the official family often. I haven't seen the official family so happy for a long time."

Song Ningzong couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of what Zhao Yurui just said about eternal blessings.

"Properly." Song Ningzong nodded with a smile: "Then let's stay in the Prince of Wei's Mansion temporarily."

The emperor obviously favored Mrs. Zhong. After Mrs. Zhong spoke, she immediately decided that Zhao and Rui would stay in the capital temporarily.

At this time, Queen Yang looked at Mrs. Zhong out of the corner of her eye, with a subtle smile in her eyes.

----

Zhao Yurui definitely wants to rule the country and become the top military and political leader.

But Shi Miyuan disagrees, and of course he can't offend the disobedient Shi Miyuan now.

After walking out of the Yutang, Zhao Yurui realized that the Yutang was between the Harem and the Daqing Hall. It was also the place where the emperor worked overtime at night, where he could not only see his ministers but also summon his concubines.

Yao Bizhi followed Zhao Yurui out of the Yutang and immediately whispered: "Prince Yi has to go to Renming Hall."

It is a small thing to take back the official hat, but it is a big thing to thank Mrs. Zhong. Maybe he thinks it is better to stay in the capital.

Zhao Yurui turned to look at Yao Bizhi and found that Yao Bizhi looked more respectful than before.

"Go slowly." Zhao Yurui said.

Yao Bizhi understood, but Mrs. Zhong was still behind. They walked slowly before they could meet Mrs. Zhong at Renming Hall.

Yao Bizhi stopped talking and followed Zhao Yurui cautiously.

After Zhao Yurui walked a few steps, he suddenly asked: "Who was standing behind His Majesty just now?"

"Everyone knows Murong Ying." When Yao Bizhi spoke, a different look flashed in his eyes.

Everyone knows that he is the leading eunuch in the palace, has a high position and is closely followed by the emperor. Yao Bizhi must have wanted to replace him for a long time.

Zhao Yurui said: "Murong Ying doesn't seem to talk much. I see that he keeps his head down and his eyelids drooped." This means that he doesn't even look at me.

When Zhao Yurui was chatting with Ning Zong just now, although Murong Ying lowered her head, she looked at Zhao Yurui from the corner of her eye from time to time. Zhao Yurui was sure that it was definitely not the same loving gaze as Ning Zong.

Is it possible that Murong Ying thinks King Yi is slippery? Or, does he support Zhao Hong?

After Yao Bizhi heard this, he thought for a moment: "Murong Ying has been with His Majesty for decades. He holds a high position and is very old. Maybe he is not feeling well today."

"Oh." Zhao Yurui said to himself like a child: "I am old and in poor health. Shouldn't I abdicate in favor of someone more worthy?"

After saying that, he glanced at Yao Bizhi intentionally or unintentionally.

Yao Bizhi grinned, thinking that King Yi is not simple, he can win people's hearts.

But no matter what, it’s really comfortable to listen to.

Yao Bizhi said nothing, lowered his eyebrows and looked more docile.

After the two arrived at Renming Hall, unexpectedly Mrs. Zhong did not come back. Zhao Yurui took the official hat and expressed his gratitude again and again.

When Zhao and Rui left the imperial city, Yao Bizhi waved to call a young eunuch.

The young eunuch stood quietly in front of him and listened.
