The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"They all say that I ordered the beating. Something happened in the Eastern Palace. As the prince's teacher, I am also to blame. I want to punish others, but I can't let them have any grudges. I naturally have to treat everyone equally, including myself. This also concerns the future education of the prince.

Cheng Qian is a good child. I don't want a good child to be delayed by the people around him, including those prince teachers in the Eastern Palace."

"I am not sure whether this beating is right or wrong, but at that time, I could only do it." Li Fu said: "It's good that they are all saved."

Li Erfeng and Empress Changsun will definitely block the subsequent news from the Eastern Palace. Even if they tell the outside world, they will probably only say that the prince was punished for playing around and not studying hard.

Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun can't tell the outside world. Even if they know the truth of the matter, they won't tell it.

The reputation of the three little princes and their own reputation are all important.

Li Fu suffered the most serious beating and can bear everything.

Even if there are bad voices in the future, they can be directed at him.

After all, he is just an idle prince who does not participate in politics. This kind of reputation is harmless.

Old Zhao heard it and nodded silently. Although he didn't know what happened in the East Palace, he also knew that his husband was doing it for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Since the husband did this, there must be a reason for him.

But...

"My husband, five days later, it will be the day of the marriage." Old Zhao said: "The auspicious day calculated by the Imperial Observatory has been prepared by the mansion. The remaining exquisite jewelry and utensils made by craftsmen have been delivered one after another in the past few days. The latest will be delivered to the mansion tomorrow afternoon."

Five days later, on the day of the marriage, the Jingyang Palace will go to the Yingguo Mansion to deliver the betrothal gifts.

Years ago, Empress Changsun would take the date calculated by the Imperial Observatory, write the male and female changes on red paper, and go to the Yingguo Mansion to set the date of marriage.

"Hiss~~" Li Fu took a breath of cold air.

This...

How could I have forgotten this matter when I was in the palace!

Damn it, this is terrible.

He had to be there in person to deliver the betrothal gifts, and bring people to the Duke of Ying's Mansion to show his sincerity and respect.

Will I be able to recover in five days?

I definitely can't even think about riding a horse...

I can't just limp to the Duke of Ying's Mansion, right?

It seems a bit embarrassing.

I hope I can rest well in these five days. If I still feel a lot of pain...

I have to endure it and go.

Li Fu tilted his head to one side, feeling a little hopeless.

"My dear, do you think this is okay?" Lao Zhao asked, "If not, let's talk to the Duke of Ying's Mansion in advance. After all, there is nothing we can do. We can't let you go there with this body. I believe the Duke of Ying's Mansion will understand."

Li Fu was in a dilemma.

Finally, he gritted his teeth.

"It's OK, it's definitely OK. No matter what, I will personally go to deliver the betrothal gift." Li Fu said seriously, "You don't understand. In other people's eyes, this is a matter of attitude."

Don't let the couple quarrel again after the marriage, and the other party frowns.

"When the betrothal gift was delivered..."

That won't work!

Li Fu's eyes were determined, he had to go!

"Then, my dear, how about this? After two or three days, see how your injury recovers. At that time, you can also inform the Duke of Ying's mansion in advance. If you go in person, if there is any inconvenience or inconsiderateness of the local officials, please forgive the Duke of Ying."

Old Zhao thought.

The Duke of Ying is his husband's future father-in-law. Etiquette cannot be abolished. If it can be discussed in advance, it should be discussed in advance.

"Okay, let's do it." Li Fu agreed.

In the evening, the housekeeper of the Duke of England's mansion came, saying that he was sent by the Duke of England to visit the King of Jingyang, and handed over a visiting card.

After noon tomorrow, the Duke of England will bring the Duke of England's wife and eldest daughter to visit the King of Jingyang's mansion.

Lao Zhou hurriedly invited people into the mansion, and asked someone to talk to Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao took the housekeeper of the Duke of England's mansion to see Li Fu.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Jingyang." The housekeeper stood in the room and bowed to the man lying on the kang: "The master heard that the prince was injured in the palace, so he sent me to visit the prince and brought some external medicine for bruises."

"Did the Duke of England know?" Li Fu asked.

The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, the master heard some noise in the palace and went to see His Majesty, and then he knew that Your Highness was injured."

Li Fu was stunned. Li Ji actually heard the noise in the palace and went to see His Majesty to ask?

This...

This isA little beyond imagination.

At this time, in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.

"Did Huairen get a beating in the palace? Injured? What happened?" Lady of the Duke of Yingguo was a little anxious.

"Your Majesty didn't say the specific reason, but only said it was because of the prince's study. The prince's teachers Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun were also beaten. Today, King Jingyang went to the palace and went to the East Palace, and he was also beaten with 20 big boards. If it is related to the prince, I won't ask too much." Li Ji said: "However, if it is 20 big boards, it should not affect the betrothal ceremony in five days."

"Then being beaten with 20 big boards is also an injury. Huairen's body, how can he bear it." Lady of the Duke of Yingguo was anxious: "You are still thinking about the betrothal ceremony. Even if the betrothal ceremony is in five days, if Huairen's injury cannot be healed, his housekeeper Zhao will send the betrothal ceremony to him, and it will not be delayed."

Lady of the Duke of Yingguo was worried about her son-in-law's health. As for the betrothal ceremony, it is just a process, and it will be more splendid at the wedding.

Besides, the matchmaker between the two families was the Empress. For the marriage of King Jingyang, the Empress was also very concerned and personally supervised it. This was already the biggest show and the most glorious thing.

"Only twenty strokes of the cane..." Li Ji muttered softly when he saw his wife was so excited.

"What do you mean by only twenty strokes of the cane? Can Huairen's physique compare with yours? You are strong and healthy after being in the army, and he is a weak scholar who has never practiced martial arts to strengthen his body. Twenty strokes of the cane is not a small amount." Lady Yingguo said, "You can't expect others to be the same as you."

"I have sent the housekeeper to deliver the medicine. Tomorrow afternoon, after I finish my work in the palace, we will go and see." Li Ji said.

"Okay, this matter is handled properly."

Li Ji smiled helplessly.

What do you mean by this matter is handled properly? What did he not do properly?

Humph, woman.

The Duchess of England also had a smile on her face. Her husband was tough on the outside, but when he heard about this in the palace, he went to ask His Majesty about it.
