Loyang Jin

After dark, the prince led the emperor's grandson back to the prince's residence.

After a busy day, the prince, who was not in strong health, already looked exhausted. The emperor's grandson was still in high spirits.

After entering the prince's residence, the prince slowed down.

"Father, how do you feel now?" The emperor's grandson held the prince's arm with some worry, sharing some of his weight.

In front of his son, the prince did not try to be brave, and took advantage of the situation to share some of the weight, and laughed at himself in a low voice: "I am in the prime of my life, but my body is really weak. Even if I successfully ascend the throne in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit on the throne for a few years. It’s better to leave this world in your hands as soon as possible.”

The emperor's grandson was not happy to hear this, and frowned and said: "Father, please don't say such unlucky words. I am willing to assist my father, and I hope that my father will live long and prosperous."

"You are filial, I understand in my heart."

The prince glanced at the emperor's grandson with relief, and the concern in the emperor's grandson's eyes was clearly reflected in his eyes: "However, you should also know how my body is. Although I have been resting and recovering in the past few years, it is a pity that at that time It completely damaged my vitality and my longevity.”

"The doctors from the Imperial Hospital came to see me in turn, but no one dared to speak openly. Only Wei Yan dared to tell the truth."

Speaking of Wei Yan, the prince's eyes flashed with approval, and there was a hint of regret in his tone: "Wei Yan has superb medical skills and a sharp wit. It would be best if he could be put to good use by us. It's a pity..."

It's a pity that Wei Jieyu belongs to Empress Xu, and Wei Yan will not turn against her and secretly surrender.

The emperor's grandson's eyes flashed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he silently endured it.

The Crown Princess, who had been waiting for the news for a long time, quickly came forward, held the Prince's other arm, and asked anxiously: "Why are you back so late? I have been waiting for two hours."

The prince said in a low voice: "My father is weak and returned to the palace after today's court meeting. He didn't even attend the palace banquet. After the palace banquet, I took Ah Yao to the Zichen Palace to accompany my father and had dinner before returning. "

The Crown Princess understood clearly and asked in a low voice: "Did your father take the pill again?"

The prince nodded.

At this age, I am still struggling like this. It is strange that the body can tolerate it.

The Crown Princess muttered secretly in her heart, but said nothing more.

After entering the inner hall, under the bright candlelight, the prince's pale and weak face was clearly visible.

The Crown Princess hurriedly helped the Prince sit down to rest, and then sighed: "Father, due to his illness, I am afraid he will have to rest for another half a month without going to court. Your Highness will have to work hard again."

"It doesn't matter if I work harder. Ah Yao, on the other hand, has to go to the palace to wait for me, and he will have to run to the palace every day from now on." The prince sighed half-jokingly: "We can't let the sixth emperor brother 'work hard' alone. "

What hard work! King Yan was basically taking this opportunity to compete for favor.

The Crown Princess snorted softly and told the Grandson: "Ah Yao, Prince Yan is the smartest when he raises his eyebrows and eyes, and he is also used to making people happy. You usually keep silent and talk little, so you will inevitably suffer some losses when facing him. When it comes to your Imperial Grandfather, You know, don’t keep a sullen face all day long. If you have nothing to do, talk more and coax your imperial grandfather."

The emperor's grandson hummed, his face expressionless.

Young and mature, he looks much more stable than the outgoing King Yan. But with this look, it would be extremely difficult for him to say a few words of joy.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Look at you, you don't like to talk on weekdays. You always talk to me with such a cold expression. When you meet your imperial grandfather, don't keep a straight face anymore."

The emperor's grandson frowned, did not refute, and hummed again.

Crown Princess: "..."

"Okay, stop nagging." The prince finally spoke: "Ah Yao is naturally stern, what do you want him to do like the Sixth Emperor's brother? What he looks like on weekdays will be the same when he enters the palace."

"But……"

"It's nothing." The prince said meaningfully: "It's easy to be a filial son with colorful clothes and entertain your parents. To be the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, you can't just rely on words."

The Crown Princess calmed down and savored this sentence carefully. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

yes! King Yan fell in love with the jumping up and down and let him go. Ah Yao is the grandson of the Zhou Dynasty and the future prince. Of course, it is better to grow old and dignified.

The Crown Princess finally stopped talking. The Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the Crown Prince gratefully.

The prince winked quietly at his son, and the father and son smiled knowingly.

After a while, the Crown Princess opened her mouth to break the silence: "Speaking of which, a strange thing happened in Jiaofang Hall today."

"Oh? What's so strange? Tell me." The prince raised his eyebrows with interest.

The emperor's grandson was not interested in these trivial matters and was about to surrender when he suddenly heard Ling Jingshu's name. He couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his lips and listened attentively.

"...Everyone in the Jiaofang Palace was shocked at that time. No one expected that Queen Xu would call Ling Jingshu into the palace. Ling Jingshu is a very smart girl. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she simply agreed."

"Wei Jieyu was on the side to intercede, and Empress Xu agreed to her position as a female official. She was also allowed to bring her maid into the palace under special circumstances."

Ever since the emperor's grandson arranged their marriage, the princess's dislike for Ling Jingshu had also diminished. At this time, Ling Jingshu's situation was mentioned, with a rare hint of regret: "I don't know what attracted Empress Xu's eyes to this girl. It's easy to enter the Jiaofang Palace, but it will be difficult to get out again in the future."

For a young girl, a good marriage and having children as soon as possible is the best destination. Entering the palace at this time, looking at glory and dignity, may not have a good ending in the future.

The emperor's grandson pursed his lips tightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

What is Empress Xu's real intention in calling Ling Jingshu into the palace?

Probably it has something to do with Wei Yan...

"Ah Yao," the Crown Princess warned earnestly, "Ling Jingshu's matter has nothing to do with our Prince's Mansion. From now on, when she enters the Jiaofang Palace, she will be the person next to Queen Xu. It's best for you to keep a distance from her."

This would prevent him from falling into the eyes of Queen Xu and using Ling Jingshu to set up a trap against him.

The emperor's grandson was silent for a moment before responding: "I understand."

The Crown Princess was a little dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude and glared at him again: "Don't just know, take my words to heart. You must have heard a lot about beauty misleading people, so you may want to mention it in the future. Be a little careful."

The emperor's grandson frowned unhappily.

The atmosphere suddenly became condensed.

The prince coughed and said: "It's already late, Ah Yao, you go back and rest first. Remember to get up early tomorrow and enter the palace early."

The emperor's grandson stood up and left.
