When King Chen arrived at Ming Jingzhou and took a few yellowed books from him, King Chen understood a truth. He ran away from his father, but not his father-in-law. There was always someone who could make his writing fly.

"Father, what kind of book is this?" Jiu Zhu curiously picked up a copy and opened it. After a while, she returned the book to King Chen, and said with a bitter face, "I know all the characters on it, but I don't understand a single one of them. Your Highness. , Don't you have a headache reading this kind of book all day?"

"What's so difficult about this?" Seeing Jiu Zhu's adoring eyes, King Chen was instantly refreshed and full of energy: "Can I tell you at night?"

"Okay, okay." Jiuzhu's big eyes flashed brilliantly: "Your Highness is amazing!"

"What's this." King Chen raised his chin slightly: "It's not worth mentioning."

A man who is admired by his daughter-in-law is an excellent man.

Ming Jingzhou watched this scene with a smile on his face.

It turns out that no matter how rebellious a man is, he may make a compromise because of one look.

At this moment, as a father, he finally felt completely relieved.

When a man changes his previous habits and strives to do better, just to get a look of admiration from her, it means that this woman already has the most unique position in his heart.

That kind of thing is often called - love.

"His Royal Highness, the book has been delivered, the lower official is leaving." He got up and prepared to leave.

Jiuzhu wanted to leave him and wanted to keep him for dinner, but Ming Jingzhou refused: "Brother is handling a case in Dali Temple today, and it's very late to go back to the house. I'm going back to accompany your mother for dinner."

When Jiuzhu heard the words, she stopped holding back and nodded with a smile: "Daddy did the right thing, you can't let mother eat alone."

"I'm going to see my father-in-law." King Chen stood up and whispered in Jiu Zhu's ear, "In the evening... I'll give a lecture."

After speaking, he smiled and walked away.

Jiuzhu was stunned for a while, then slowly covered her face.

Her highness, the little fairy boy, was so serious just now!

"Father-in-law." After walking out of the Qilin Palace, King Chen said, "My father asked me to do the worship on his behalf, and I agreed."

Ming Jingzhou stopped, and between him and King Chen, he has always maintained the distance between ministers and princes. No matter how he looked at it, he could not be called "confidant" in front of King Chen. He did not expect that King Chen would meet. Tell him what His Majesty has not made public.

"His Royal Highness is already a young man in the sky. As His Majesty's child, it is not inappropriate to go to worship on your behalf." Ming Jingzhou handed over: "Your Highness believes that His Highness can do the best."

The wind blew the horns of their robes, and King Chen was silent for a moment: "I just want to be the child of the emperor."

"Your Highness has always been His Majesty's good boy." Ming Jingzhou understood what King Chen meant, "Xiaguan thinks, and His Majesty thinks the same."

King Chen looked at him without speaking.

As he said that, he bowed to King Chen: "Your Highness, the official retire."

"I thought that my father-in-law's thinking would be different from that of the father."

"It may have been different originally, but when His Highness stepped into the door of the Ministry of Rites and recited what the Xiaguan gave me, Xia, Xiaguan's thinking changed a lot." Ming Jingzhou was silent for a moment: "Xiaguan is on His Highness, Saw some beautiful qualities of His Majesty."

"It was Xiaguan's fault in the past." Ming Jingzhou gave a big salute: "People say it's scary, people say what they say, and Xiaguan also made such a mistake."

King Chen returned to the younger generation: "Father-in-law is right, this king is indeed ignorant."

"No, His Highness has a sincere and benevolent heart." Over the past few days, he has carefully checked the rumors related to King Chen, bullying literati, bullying noble sons, humiliating military generals, and found that everything happened for a reason.

The literati who was oppressed by him were ruthless lovers who deceived women's feelings.

The son of an aristocratic family who was punished by him hit a child with a horse.

The generals who were humiliated by him spoke ill of Empress Su in private, and tried to take a woman from a good family as a concubine.

Every piece, every piece, became evidence of King Chen's domineering. Every force can't wait to suppress his reputation.

What's wrong is not the simple and direct King Chen, but the whitewashing Taiping who hides filth and filth.

And although he took into account the friendship between the ruler and the minister, he never said that King Chen was not in the court, but he never got to know King Chen.

The arrogance in the literati's bones made him prejudice against King Chen. When he was prejudiced against King Chen, he didn't know that the other party was his daughter's savior.

If it wasn't for Jiuzhu, maybe he still wouldn't know the merits of King Chen.

"Father-in-law, today..." Why did you praise him so much?

Could it be that there are more books waiting for him to copy?

King Chen was worried.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are officials from the Ministry of Rites in the worship ceremony." Ming Jingzhou smiled heartily: "With officials from the Ministry of Rites, no one wants to play tricks."

After sending Ming Jingzhou to the gate of the palace, on the way back, King Chen met King Huai and Princess Huai who had just come out of the harem.

King Huai's face didn't look very good, and there were some "medicine" stains on his sleeves.

"Fifth brother." Seeing King Chen, King Huai forced a smile.

"Big brother, big sister-in-law." King Chen gave a perfunctory salute.

King Huai didn't care either. For him, Yun Duqing could salute him in a perfunctory manner, and he was already satisfied: "Where is the fifth brother coming from?"

"I just sent my father-in-law out of the Suzaku Gate." King Chen glanced at the tiredness on King Huai's face: "Big brother, please pay attention to rest."

"Thank you fifth brother." Princess Huai spoke first: "Mother has been seriously ill in recent days, and the lord is worried about mother's health. She is waiting by the side every day, and she looks a lot haggard."

"Concubine Xu is ill?"

The word "" is full of multiple meanings.

He remembered that Concubine Xu had always been in poor health and was always sick, but she had survived all these years.

Now that Princess Huai said that she was ill, King Chen was not surprised at all.

"Fifth brother." King Huai said, "I heard that there is an old imperial doctor in the Taiyuan Hospital. In recent years, except for the pulse of the father and the mother, he has not diagnosed others. Big brother is shameless, please help me to treat this old imperial doctor. Please go to Zhaoxiang Palace to see a doctor for my mother and concubine."

The old imperial doctor that King Huai was talking about was over ninety years old, with children and grandchildren around his knees, and he was in good spirits.

The father and queen couldn't bear him at his age, and he was still walking in the palace, so he said to the outside world that he would only ask for the pulse of the emperor. In fact, in the past few years, he has never been asked to do anything.

King Chen did not expect that King Huai would make such a request to him, and the relationship between their brothers was not much better.

Could it be that some time ago, they ate a warm pot together in Yun Yanze's house and accumulated the brotherhood?

"I can't decide this matter. The old imperial doctor is too old. If the eldest brother really intends to invite him into the palace, he will send someone to carry a soft sedan chair to invite him." King Chen did not embarrass him: "I will help with the father and the queen. Big brother say something. But no matter whether the old imperial doctor is willing to enter the palace or not, big brother, you can't make things difficult for him."

"Thank you fifth brother." King Huai gave King Chen a sincere bow, bending his spine deeply.

"Concubine Xu's treatment is important." King Chen waved his hand, not taking this to heart.

Wang Huai looked at the back of him leaving, and didn't know what to think. After a long time, he said to Princess Huai, who was also tired, "Go back to Zhang Liugong to rest first, and I will send someone to pick up the old imperial doctor."

Princess Huai looked at the bruises in his eyes and sighed: "My lord, the mother is not in good health, so I can't wear myself out."

"I know." King Huai was never careful enough, and he didn't notice the tenderness in his princess' eyes, so he pushed the person back to sleep.

He is a big man to hold on, and a woman is more convenient than a man, so let her rest.

After arranging someone to pick up the old imperial doctor, King Huai returned to Zhaoxiang Palace.

Concubine Xu was already awake, leaning on the head of the bed, the room was filled with the bitter smell of "medicine".

"Mother concubine, are you feeling better?" Prince Huai put down the things in his hand and strode to Concubine Xu's side.

"It's alright, this is a long-standing problem." Concubine Xu coughed a few times: "Just let the concubine serve you here, go back and have a good rest."

"How can she have a son who understands your preferences." King Huai did not understand what Concubine Xu was saying, and directly rejected her proposal: "Bring the 'medicine', and the son will serve the 'medicine'."

The palace maid looked at Concubine Xu, Concubine Xu nodded.

"My son met the fifth brother in the palace just now." After feeding the "medicine", King Huai put down the bowl: "His relationship with the Ming family seems to be pretty good."

Concubine Xu smiled weakly: "It seems that the Ming family still values ​​Ming Jiuzhu's daughter."

"I originally thought that the Ming family would give up the daughter Ming Jiuzhu for the sake of their own reputation. It was the son who guessed wrong." With the favor of the father and the emperor, the sons and ministers can't help but let go of their minds."

Maybe as early as the day his father ascended the throne, when he saw his father wearing a dragon robe and carrying his fifth brother behind him, he should have given up.

Concubine Xu coughed a few times, but did not speak.

"My concubine is seriously ill, my son shouldn't tell me this." Queen Huai's face was particularly ugly, thinking it was the reason that the "medicine" was too bitter, so she took the candied fruit and gave her to eat: "Just now, I begged the fifth brother. , let him go to the emperor to intercede, and invite the old imperial doctor who is over ninety years old to diagnose the pulse..."

Concubine Xu grabbed his hand: "I'm all a little 'flaw', I can't trouble this old man."

"The disease is so severe, how can it be said to be a small 'hair' disease?" Wang Huai said, "Mother concubine, my son knows that he is a 'sex' son who understands people, but for the sake of his health, his son must be 'sex' once."

"Don't worry, my son has already sent someone to pick him up in a sedan chair, so the old imperial doctor won't be tired."

"What?" Concubine Xu grabbed King Huai's hand, increasing her strength, and the back of King Huai's hand hurt.

"Calculate the time, it's almost the same." King Huai looked down at the hand that was in pain, and didn't dare to cry out. I was a little happy in my heart, the mother concubine's strength was so strong, indicating that the condition did not worsen.

"No." Concubine Xu brought King Huai's hand: "Stay on the shore and send someone to send the old imperial doctor back. I don't need him to diagnose the pulse here."

She knew that this old imperial doctor was an expert who could be called the master of Chinese medicine. No matter what kind of disease, as long as he took the pulse, he could get a clear picture of it.

"Why?" King Huai didn't understand: "Is it because you are worried about the punishment from the father and the queen? You don't have to worry about that. The fifth brother is the kind of 'nature' son who will never nod if he doesn't agree, and won't fool people if he agrees..."

"I said no, but I can't!" Concubine Xu raised her voice: "Stay on the shore, listen to the concubine, and send the old imperial doctor back."

After Concubine Xu's voice was raised, it sounded a bit sharp and ear-piercing. King Huai seemed to think of something, and his expression gradually changed: "Okay."

The room became quiet, and Concubine Xu raised her hand to ask the other palace servants to retreat: "It seems that you have already guessed it?"

King Huai's lips moved, but nothing came out.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice sounded outside the house: "My lord, the old imperial doctor Liu is unwell and cannot go out."

Xu Fei's expression relaxed.

"But the old man said that his granddaughter inherited his mantle. Would you like to summon her?"

"What kind of disease can a woman see." Across the door, King Huai said, "Since Liu Lao is unwell, let him take care of his health before inviting him into the palace."
