First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 312 Respectful (one more)

  The emperor slowly calmed down until midnight and fell into a sleepy dream.

  However, in his sleep, he also vaguely heard someone calling him Hong'er.

  Sound after sound, the sound came into my ears.

  He also felt a warm and hot hand, pulling his hand tightly.

When the emperor finally woke up leisurely, the sky was already bright.

  The emperor was a little confused, wondering if it was a dream or true.

  The familiar "Hong Er" sound came again.

  The emperor slowly opened his eyes, and a figure appeared in the blurred vision. The owner of the figure was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, holding his hand, and looking at him with incomparably kind eyes.

  Why does this man look so much like the younger brother of the little doctor?

   Xiao Jingkong’s little hand patted the back of the emperor’s hand, and coaxed the grandson’s kind tone with Zhao Xiaobao’s grandmother next door: "Hong Er~"

  The emperor was clever, his body shook, and he was completely awake from sleep!

  The emperor cultivated in Bishui Hutong for seven days. The stitches were removed from the stitches and healed well.

  Duke Wei’s injury is also recovering well, even though he is getting older, the healing speed of fractures is slower than that of young people, but the injuries on the rest of his body have little effect.

  The days when he lived in Bishui Hutong were the emperor’s most relaxing moments in his life. From the moment he remembered, he knew that he was a humble prince. The concubine Jingmu treated him very well, but he could not erase the shadow of his birth.

After   , he was divided into residences, and he was suppressed by Concubine Liu and the prince's brother.

   And it was so easy for him to get to the throne as the emperor, and there is another queen mother who is listening to politics.

  He never slackened for a moment.

  This time it was a blessing in disguise, and I enjoyed a few days of leisure.

  It’s just that he can’t really hide in Bishui Hutong as a treasurer for a lifetime. He is the king of a country, and he carries the world of Zhaoguo.

  After dinner that day, the emperor planned to drive back to the palace.

  The emperor announced to the outside world that he would be recuperating in the palace. In order to confuse the enemy's sight, the emperor specially transferred the master of Ouchi to the palace, and enclosed the palace tightly.

  No one can guarantee that there will be no second assassination, and everything is careful.

  While the emperor set off from Bishui Hutong, Wei Gonggong quietly went to the palace, and then he would “drive” from the palace back to the palace in a high-profile manner.

Before the emperor got on the carriage, Aunt Liu suddenly ran over shyly, handed him a purse, and ran away, covering his face!

  Emperor: "..."

  Gu Changqing escorted the emperor back to the palace.

  Sitting on the carriage going back, the emperor always felt something weird. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was weird.

Until he entered the imperial study room, He Gonggong reported to him: "The queen mother fell ill. She has been ill for several days. She has been insisting on going up. Today, she finally couldn't hold it. She fainted in Fenghu on the way back to Renshou Palace. ."

  The emperor suddenly realized, he said something was wrong, it turned out that the poisonous woman had not been to Bishui Hutong to monitor him in the past few days.

  The first reaction of the emperor was to be very happy, and that poisonous woman also fell down one day.

  The second reaction was a little worried. First, he was assassinated, and then the queen mother fainted. The separation was a lot of turbulence, let alone being connected again? It is easy to cause unrest among the people and panic in the court.

   "Isn't it spread out?" the emperor frowned.

He Gongyi said: "No, Renshou Palace kept the news tight, saying only that the Queen Mother was reviewing the memorials, focusing on the affairs of the government, and not allowing anyone to disturb. The Queen Mother fainted halfway through, and the slave had been monitoring the Queen Mother before discovering it. If you enter Renshou Palace and then faint, I am afraid that even the minions will not get the exact information."

  Renshou Palace was originally a copper wall and iron wall. After the queen mother was infected with leprosy, the people in it changed a group, and now even a fly can't get in.

  The emperor had a very bad impression of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, and his prejudice was so great that he didn’t feel sorry for the Queen Mother. His doubts accounted for more than half: “How is this a coincidence? She fell ill when I was about to come back today? Isn’t it just pretending to confuse me?”

  This... Father He doesn’t know.

  The emperor sneered and said: "I just returned to the palace, so I should go and please my mother and queen."

  The emperor went to Renshou Palace.

  He is the emperor’s dark stubble, and the emperor told him to go back. Don’t let people see him interacting with himself.

  As for Father Wei, his arm was injured, and the emperor let him go back to his house to rest, with only a small eunuch.

  In this posture, I didn’t care much about the Queen Mother Zhuang.

When the emperor arrived at the gate of Renshou Palace, he was stopped by the Ouchi master of Renshou Palace.

   "The Queen Mother has an order, and no one is seen." Ouchi master said.

  The emperor sneered: "Anyone also includes me, the prince of a country? I want to know, when is there a place in this palace that I can't go to?"

  Master Ouchi glanced at him suspiciously. It has always been. Your Majesty, did you know it the first day?

  Emperor: "..."

  The emperor has a toothache!

  The poisonous woman is so powerful that he, the ninth-five-year-old, can't force it!

  Just as the emperor’s face was about to turn black into charcoal, Duke Qin insisted on brushing it out.

  He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, and the Queen Mother is your mother. She can’t see you unless she sees anyone, please."

  Duke Qin made a please gesture.

  Duke Qin is the confidant of the Queen Mother. His every move represents the meaning of the Queen Mother. The master insider thought that the Queen Mother really woke up and wanted to see her Majesty, so he let him go.

  Duke Qin led the way and led the emperor to the bedroom of Queen Mother Zhuang.

  The emperor thought that Empress Dowager Zhuang was okay. He was playing mystery, but when he saw the phoenix bed with the curtain closed, he had an unknown premonition in his heart.

  Duke Qin came to the bed and gently opened the curtain, revealing the pale Queen Mother Zhuang on the phoenix bed.

  Such a queen mother is too strange.

  She always appeared in front of people majestic and majestic, even in the clear water alley with a coarse linen, it was difficult to hide the sharp look in her eyes.

  But at this moment she was lying there quietly, her breath wafting like silk, she was indeed seriously ill.

   "How could... this way?" The emperor was surprised.

  Duke Qin sighed: "Why is the queen mother like this? Does your majesty really have no points in his heart?"

  This is a bit rebellious.

  But the emperor was so shocked that he didn’t read the text for a while. Qin Gonggong meant that... Empress Dowager Zhuang’s illness was related to him?

How can it be?

  He hasn’t done anything recently!

  ...Could it be...that night?

  The emperor found it impossible.

  This poisonous woman can't wait to get rid of him and hurry up, so that she won't take care of him all night, and she won't call him like Concubine Jing's mother.

  All he heard was the sound in his dreams.

  But it can't explain what the "Hong'er" in Xiao Jingkong's mouth is all about.

  If it weren’t for hearing and seeing, how could Xiaojingkong imitate an adult and take his hand and call it Hong'er?

  The emperor’s mind was a little confused.

  He refused to accept this fact in his heart, not only because he refused to believe in the kindness of the Queen Mother, but also because he felt the long-lost warmth that night.

  Bewildered, he seemed to feel that Concubine Jing Mu was back again.

  If it is really Queen Mother Zhuang, isn't she saying that she has the breath of Jingmu Concubine? This is a blasphemy against Concubine Jingmu!

  He doesn’t accept it!

deny!

   "Duke Qin, the empress dowager's medicine is ready." A court lady entered the house with a medicine bowl, caught a glimpse of the emperor in the hall, and bowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty!"

  The emperor waved his hand impatiently.

  The maid put the medicine bowl on the bedside table.

  The emperor's gaze unconsciously chased the medicine bowl and glanced at it. With an inadvertent glance, he caught a glimpse of a small iron box on the bedside table.

  Somewhat familiar.

  He didn't let himself go down.

  At this time, Empress Dowager Zhuang was also awakened by the movement in the dormitory. She was a person who had seen strong winds and waves, and she saw the Emperor Chu in front of her bed without much change.

  "Queen Mother, it's time to drink medicine." Qin Gonggong said with a smile.

   "Take it away, I won't drink it." Queen Mother Zhuang said lightly.

  She is very weak, even the expression in her eyes and her tone of voice have lost the sharpness of the past.

  Duke Qin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here to see you."

  The back of Mrs. Zhuang expressionlessly said: "The Aijia doesn't want him to look at it."

  Since they pierced the window paper, as long as they were not in the Jinluan Temple, they almost no longer pretended to be filial to the mother and child.

  The emperor stood upright in front of the bed, looking at her condescendingly.

  At this moment, he really felt that she was old, and maybe she could not live for a few years. Once she drove to the west, the power of government and government would naturally return to his hands.

   thought this in his heart, but said sarcastically: “If the queen mother goes like this, the Jinluan Temple will be lonely in the future, and no one really discusses government affairs with me.”

  Queen Mother Zhuang stared at him coldly: "I'm not a dutiful son. Less wishful thinking, the Aijia must be longer than you."

  The emperor looked at her in his spare time.

  The Queen Mother struggling to sit up.

  Duke Qin hurriedly stepped forward to help, took the soup and handed it to her.

  The Queen Mother drank a bowl of bile-bearing decoction in one breath, and there was not a single drop left.

  After the queen mother drank the medicine, the emperor left Renshou Palace.

  He did not return to his bedroom in a hurry, but went to the Imperial Study Room. He asked the prince to call the prince to test the prince’s homework in the past few days.

  The emperor found that the prince's arithmetic had made great progress: "Who taught these topics?"

  The prince paused and replied: "Hanlin Academy."

  The emperor looked at the prince, and said: "I know that your math is taught by the Imperial Academy. Which Hanlin official did I ask?"

  The prince opened his mouth unwillingly, "Xiao Xiu."

"Is it him?" The emperor's eyes lit up, and then he smiled with joy. "I really didn't read the wrong person. Your arithmetic has not improved all the year round. I thought it was because of your dull aptitude. Right now, it doesn't seem to be considered as good. You can still learn from the master’s teaching."

  How can the prince answer this?

   is simply powerless to refute, okay?

  You can never say that you are wrong, the emperor, I am indeed dull.

  In all fairness, the prince’s aptitude is not bad. Although he is not as good as the eldest son of the prince, Ning Wang, he is far better than the other princes.

  But the prince is partial to discipline, he just doesn't like arithmetic, but the emperor is very concerned about arithmetic.

  The emperor was only trying, but it was really effective. He nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, I will let him come over to give you a lecture next time."

  The prince's face changed: "Father!"

  The emperor faintly looked at him: "What? Do you have an opinion?"

  The prince realized that he had lost his temper, arched his hands, and said: "Erchen...Erchen is just wondering why the father wants a editor to give lectures to the son? Doesn't the father value the sons and ministers?"

  Let a newly appointed Hanlin official give a lecture to the prince of a country, which seems a bit perfunctory.

  The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at the prince with a frown: "I don't value you, so I will try my best to teach you? You are the prince of a country. Can you not always care about the opinions of others?"

  The prince yelled, "I don’t care about how others think..."

   "What is that?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

  The prince wanted to speak but stopped.

  The emperor frowned: "If you don't say anything, you will withdraw."

  The prince looked down and said: "He looks too much like his cousin. When I see him, I will always think of his cousin who died young, and he will feel sad."

  The emperor thoughtfully: "So you have to be sad before you can learn it?"

  The prince was startled.

  Wait, father, you seem to be wrong about me!

  The emperor hummed: "Your historiography is also somewhat unsatisfactory. In the future, historiography will also be taught by Xiao Xiu."

  The prince is going crazy!

  Seeing once in ten is not enough, has it become twice in ten!

  He doesn't want to face Xiao Liulang's face!

  The prince squeezed his fist: "Father!"

  The emperor has made up his mind and waved his hand: "That's it, you go back. Let Xiao Qi come to me in the evening."

  I haven't seen the little fat man for a few days, and I feel a little strange about him.

  The emperor is not an ordinary father. He is a prince first, and then a father. But in the past few days in Bishui Hutong, he always sees Xiaojingkong dangling in front of him, which makes people want to be a father.

  Of course, it's not for Xiao Jingkong to be a father, the kid is so ghostly, he can't stand it.

  He wants to find his sense of accomplishment as a father in his own little fat man.

  After the prince left the imperial study room, the emperor sent someone to call King Ning again.
