The beautiful black eyes were tinted with the color of emotion, much more animated than the dead look before, Jing Shao just looked at him with smiling eyes, wanting to tell him that he didn't have to be so fearful, but on second thought, his own previous life was because he refused to listen to him, arrogant and arrogant, and no one else, only to end up with the miserable fate of the wall falling down and people pushing him out, and he couldn't help converging on his smile.
"Your Highness, the noon gate has arrived." Little eunuch Chunxi said outside the sedan chair, then the sedan chair also stopped. Usually, the sedan chair can walk to the palace, but today, to pay a visit to the empress in the empress's palace, the two had to get off the sedan chair at the noon gate and change to the palace's carriage. The two of them will not say anything more as there are palace people on all sides of the carriage.
Hongzheng Emperor went to the Empress's Luan Yi Palace after the court, sitting in the main hall with Empress Wu waiting for the newcomers to pay their respects. Forty-something Hongzheng emperor is in his prime, has a qualified emperor's calm and wisdom, sitting there own a not angry from the compelling momentum.
Looking at his father, who was a dozen years younger, Jing Shao's hand hidden in his moon white sleeve clenched into a fist, then slowly loosened it again, and together with Mu Hanzhang, he respectfully bowed to the Empress and Empress.
Hongzheng Emperor first praised Jing Shao, and then taught a few sentences: "You are now an adult, the future of talking and doing things should be more thoughtful, do not let me hear again set off your mother's tea table such a thing."
"My son understands, thank you father for your teachings." Jing Shao only faintly answered, but his face was unconvinced.
"On this happy day, Your Majesty should not blame him any more," the Empress naturally took everything in her stride, and busily smiled and relieved herself, "Today is the day to see your daughter-in-law."
Next to a palace maid to the emperor and queen in front of the soft cushion, Mu Huanzhang went up to kneel down, kowtowed to Emperor Hongzheng, and then tea raised above his head: "Father, please use the tea." All etiquette movements are very standard, hands and feet full of the elegance of the master.
Emperor Hongzheng received the tea and took a sip, smiling, "The second son of the Mu Jin family, I didn't expect to be such a graceful character." Saying this, he rewarded him with a pair of sheep's fat jade ruyi.
"Thank you Father." Mu Hanzhang thanked the emperor without being humble and resumed kneeling in front of the empress to serve tea.
The Empress smiled and took it, and didn't rush to let him get up, but just turned her head to chat with the Emperor: "Your Majesty's holy wisdom, this Mu family's second son but at seventeen years old he won the Lifu Ren, and it is said that all those noble teenagers in the capital honored him with the name of 'Duke Wen Yuan' it."
"Really?" Hongzheng emperor this time is interested in, seventeen years old in the examination is a rare intelligent young man, usually can see only the Beiwei marquis family son, did not think that he has never seen this commoner son is a deep hidden pearl, can not help but feel some pity, such a character if he can take part in the examination, is certainly a talent, but also the jurisdiction of Beiwei marquis of a good tool, it is really a pity.
"But it's just the joking words of a few childhood playmates, it can't be true." Mu Hanzhang knelt for a long time, his body became more and more uncomfortable, and his face began to become pale, but his body still knelt straight, and interjected a sentence at the right time to remind those two that he was still kneeling.
"Yo, how does this child look so bad?" Empress said glanced at the side of the Jing Shao, see he does not seem to have a reaction, also do not want to help Mu Huan Zhang meaning, slightly convergence of the eyes of the essence of the convergence of the aura, smiled and handed Mu Huan Zhang an open brocade box, the box of colorful jewels who can see the value of the city.
Mu Hanzhang looked at such a heavy gift, remembered Jing Shao in the sedan chair words, then did not hesitate to accept it, stand up feel a little black in front of my eyes, body slightly shook a little before standing steady, side of the palace maid busy to come forward to assist.
"Your bodies are not feeling well, so you guys should go back early." Emperor Hongzheng waved his hand to signal that they could leave.
Mu Hanzhang refused the palace maid's continued assistance, Jing Shao did not care about him, saluted and walked out, God knows how much he wanted to hold Jun Qing in his arms right now to prevent him from taking a step, but still in the palace, he could only coldly pretend to be impatient.
Out of the palace gate, Mu Hanzhang stepped down from the carriage, looked at the cold back of the front striding toward the front, and smiled mockingly, what exactly was he expecting? What did he expect? Was that short-lived tenderness an illusion?
Trying to follow up, without taking two steps, suddenly his eyes went black and he fell forward, there was no unexpected pain, his body fell into a warm embrace, "Jun Qing, what's wrong with you?" When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was Jing Shao's anxious face.
Jing Shao saw that he fainted, his eyes and hands were quick to carry the person into his arms, and quickly walked into the sedan chair, "Chunxi, you go to the Imperial Hospital to ask Dr. Jiang Huan Jiang to make a trip to the King's Mansion, and get up the sedan chair to return to the King's Mansion right away."
"Yes!" The bearers answered and raised the sedan chair, while Chunxi ran all the way towards the Imperial Hospital.
"Junqing, Junqing? Where is it hard. Hmm?" Jing Shao leaned the person in his arms against his chest and touched his forehead, "Why did you start a fever?"
Mu Hanzhang only silent, this person cold and hot and let a person uncertain, today the emperor's regretful eyes and let him heartache. The body is difficult, the heart and sad, only feel disheartened, consciousness more and more drowsy.
"Viewing Shao'er's appearance, it seems that she is not quite satisfied with this marriage arranged by my concubine." After the two left, the Empress said with a difficult face.
"He is still young, since he can't understand the empress's bitterness, but this child is genuine." Hongzheng emperor is very satisfied, just now jingshao's reflection he saw clearly, disobedience, dislike are shown truly, if the loss of inheritance is still a look of gratitude, then the city is too deep.
Returning to the royal residence, Jing Shao hugged the person in his arms and ran towards the house, "Bring a cold handkerchief."
Covering Mu Hanzhang with the quilt, he took the handkerchief Zhi Ruoxi handed over to compress his forehead.
"Junqing, is it hard?" Jing Shao looked at him with heartache, in his last life Mu Hanzhang's body was getting worse and worse, in those last few years he even ate medicine like a meal, this time he must be taken care of carefully and nurse him back to health.
"I'm fine, don't I still have to go to the Second Prince's residence? Don't delay." After saying that, he struggled to get up, but was held down by Jing Shao.
"I've already sent someone to say on my brother's side, he won't blame." Although he felt that he should make a trip to his brother's side, etiquette was one aspect, and more importantly lest he misunderstand, Jing Shao felt that all of these were not as important as Jun Qing's body, and that his brother's side would be fine to go back and explain.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Doctor is here." Zhi Ruoxi came in to inform.
Crown Physician Jiang was not the highest status in the Imperial Hospital, although his medical skills were also good, but how could he not have imagined that King Cheng would name him to come to his residence to see a doctor, obviously there was nothing to cross paths before.
"This ......" Crown Physician Jiang took the pulse and looked at Mu Hanzhang's face, and looked at Jing Shao with some difficulty.
Jing Shao willed the subordinates to retreat, "There's no harm in the Imperial Doctor speaking."
"View Wangfei's pulse, must be the body has a wound and the heart is depressed caused by," Jiang Tai doctor and looked at Jing Shao a glance, this fever is not a big disease, today King Cheng looking for him to certainly have a deep meaning, and then said, "Forgive me for my frankness, although the Wangfei is a man, but in the house on the men in fact more vulnerable to injuries than women, the Prince or pity some good. The king is still pity some of the good."
One sentence made Mu Hanzhang's face turn red, and Jing Shao also touched his nose in embarrassment, "It's this king who's being wilful."
"Your Highness forgive me." Imperial Doctor Jiang was also a little apprehensive, not knowing if his words were to the liking of the king.
"Haha, this king likes a straight-forward person like Eunuch Jiang." After receiving the prescription handed over by Eunuch Jiang and explaining that Mengxi had gone to decoct the medicine, Jing Shao took a string of coral beads out of his sleeve.
"Your Highness, this cannot be allowed." Imperial Doctor Jiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, he had always been a man of the middle ground and did not want to get involved in the strife of these princes and royal grandsons.
"This is not for you," Jing Shao saw him not to take, impatiently said, "I heard that your son is strong in martial arts, this year has been successful in the martial arts, this is a congratulatory gift to your son." Red coral beads can avoid blood light, is indeed to send people who practice martial arts, Jiang Tai doctor is not good to excuse himself again, besides this prince means to fancy his son, so also can rest assured.
"In that case, the old minister will thank the king for the reward on behalf of the little dog, and have him come to the door to thank him on another day." Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Jiang put away the coral beads and bowed to take his leave.
Jing Shao asked Duofu to send the eunuch away, so he sat back down on the edge of the bed and changed the hanky on Mu Hanzhang's forehead.
"These things let the maiden do is, the king go to rest." Mu Hanzhang said faintly, this person a moment of tenderness may just feel fresh and fun, in fact, not really good for him, a person is not sincere look at the details can be seen, today in the palace that kind of behavior, so that he has just warmed up the heart are frozen into ice.
"Jun Qing?" Jing Shao saw that the morning has been loosened up the person again returned to cold, expected to be the things in the palace to make him sad, he is always impatient to talk a lot, Jun Qing's nature is more something to hold in the heart, it seems that in the future you have to talk more to be able to do, difficult to scratch his head, sighed and said, "Today in the palace, so that you have been aggrieved."
Mu Hanzhang opened his eyes to look at him, this person actually knew?
"It's just kneeling for a while longer, I'm not a woman, I won't be aggravated by my mother-in-law's dismay, Your Highness is overly concerned." The gentle voice was very pleasant to the ear, and the words he said did not carry half a bit of resentment, but Jing Shao just felt that he was angry.
"The people in the capital are laughing at me, saying that I have made great achievements but not to inherit the throne, as a first son is not as good as the palace girl out of the status of the eldest son of the high ......" Jing Shao self-deprecatingly said these words, this breath, he held in his heart for more than ten years, and now say it out, it is really from the heart. The
Mu Hanzhang hidden under the covers of the hand gradually clenched tight, the heart also listened to the more cold, it is true that he was not drunk last night, everything is just simply torture him: "These ministers are aware of, I do not ask for the king of other, but only ask for the king's success when you can reward the minister with a paper of repudiation."
