Chapter 80: The powerless Chen Baoding

First, what are these words, why don't you say that it is overkill, and take the holy decree and recite the three-character scripture.

This is the holy golden mouth, and the minister cannot say the evil of the king's relatives, but Chen Baoding was so angry that his face was whiter than rice paper.

Look at what is standing below, the fat powder on their faces is thicker than that of women, one by one, the style is like a species, the charm is boundless, and the prostitutes in the Goolan courtyard may not be as charming as they are. Who knows where Li Chaochen found these beautiful men, maybe they really got them from those unspeakable Goolan courtyards.

Chen Baoding rolled his eyes.

Bringing turtle slaves to the palace, others don't dare, but this Li Chaochen, is it someone else? To put it bluntly, he is the emperor's friend, who does he want to bring into the harem, as long as the queen mother doesn't say it, the emperor likes it, what can others say if they don't like it?

Chen Baoding is now repentant, and he looked at Li Chaochen with a light eye when he said those words in the saint, and lowered his head. His eyes must have been pale just now, so that he could see the grievances of Li Chaochen under the burden of humiliation, and only then did he feel sympathy, and he couldn't bear it.

Chen Baoding's lips were purple, he endured it, endured it and endured it, only to endure the stars in his eyes, and his legs and feet couldn't stop shaking.

After a long time, Chen Baoding supported the armchair and barely stood up, he thought about replying, but he didn't know what to say, he thought hard, thought hard, thought hard, and his hands trembled, his mouth opened, and before he could exhale a mouthful, he suddenly felt that his eyes were white, and his whole person was unstable, and he fell down.

"Lord Chenβ€”"

Qin Siyang screamed in surprise, and just stood up, but suddenly his center of gravity was unstable and he fell forward.

A group of beautiful men nearby, including Li Chaochen, whose head hung down the most, screamed and exclaimed, but they were all screaming in circles in place and beating their heads and chests, and none of them stepped forward to help.

Seeing this, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting on the side rushed up, all rushing to help the emperor and appease the frightened emperor, until there was really nowhere to go to the emperor, then they turned around to help the fallen Lord Chen, and reached into Lord Chen's nose and eyes to check if he still had any breath.

Seeing that Lord Chen still had a steady breath, the eunuch who helped him up breathed a sigh of relief, asked someone to run outside, and ordered the inferior palace people who were guarding outside to let him go back to the situation on the Queen Mother's side.

For a time, the entire Qianqing Palace was in chaos. The panicked group of beautiful men had no choice but to be led by Li Chaochen and avoided the apse.

Soon, the Queen Mother personally came to the Qianqing Palace to understand the situation, and invited the imperial doctor to come over for consultation, the emperor just had nothing to do, just a little frightened, just drink a cup of tea, just take a rest. Lord Chen's situation is not very easy to say, firstly, he is too sad, secondly, he has not slept peacefully for days, and he is unstable, and his qi and blood are insufficient, so it is difficult to say what happens. The imperial doctor only said that he would prescribe some medicine to make up for it first, and then he would eat it for a while, and then he would not be able to move again.

At this point, Chen Baoding is not good to go out of the palace again.

So the emperor issued a decree, and the squire Chen Mansion immediately sent a bunch of clothes and utensils for Lord Chen's daily life. It's really a person who is not as good as the sky, I thought it was just a moment, but now it has become an unknown array. The rule that foreign ministers and men can't stay in the deep palace for a long time has been broken by Lord Chen himself.

The saint didn't care, and the queen mother didn't say much, Chen Baoding's unstable mood became more and more unstable. Under the continuous addition of various good medicines in the palace, his qi and blood were good for a while, and not good for a while, which was really very unstable.

Every day, the Son of Heaven always came to see him first, and then asked some questions by the way, and most of these questions went until lunch. Then they had dinner together, and went back to rest in the afternoon, most of the Son of Heaven would come again, and this time he would come again, often followed by his favorite minister Li Chaochen.

This time I came in the morning was fine, because I had just come down from the court, and His Majesty couldn't think of any other questions in his head, and most of the questions were about the court. Chen Baoding because of the king's order to recuperate, do not have to get up early to go to the court, so listen to the Son of Heaven asked, but also just to understand the movement of the court, although he can not work hard, but the emperor of the current meeting, ask something, it is impossible to be difficult, these consultations are very smooth to his heart, and they can also solve his troubles.

This time in the afternoon was different, Li Chaochen's follow-up made it clear that he was his student, Chen Baoding wanted to deny it, but he had nowhere to deny it, and he had nowhere to say the pain, which was exactly what he was talking about. Therefore, even with Li Chaochen's questions, no matter whether they were good or bad, he answered them very reluctantly.

I don't know if it's because Li Chaochen is not knowledgeable, or if he really doesn't mind, or because the emperor is on his side, it's not easy to attack. In short, no matter how reluctant Chen Baoding replied and how much he didn't care, Li Chaochen even claimed that he was, either with a look of great understanding or an open mind to ask for advice. This made Chen Baoding annoyed.

In this way, it was not until more than half of June, under the careful conditioning of the imperial doctors, that Chen Baoding's qi and blood stabilized slightly, and he finally got the holy order of lifting the ban and was carried back to his own mansion.

Chen Baoding didn't expect that he entered the palace this time, stayed for nearly a month, and when he returned to his house, he was annoyed to find that his second son, who had just passed, had all traces at home been erased, leaving no trace.

It is said that the mansion of the right attendant of his Ministry of Rites is not big compared to the high-ranking officials of other ministers, but only below average.

This mansion was originally just a standard three-hall mansion assigned by the court when he was an official at the beginning, and after he moved in, only a little furniture was added, and nothing else should have been moved. It wasn't until the current Mrs. Chen got married that she made many changes at the suggestion of the bride. In the end, he spent a lot of money to buy and replace many neighboring houses and expanded them into the current five-hall mansion.

The first to third entrances are for the front yard, and the fourth and fifth entrances are for the backyard.

Subdivided further, one is the place where the carriage and horses and the male servants make the maids and mothers-in-law move, the second is the flower hall for meeting guests and the guest rooms for entertaining outsiders, the third is the study and residence of the male host, the fourth is the largest, which is the residence of the ladies and ladies and the garden for rest and play, and the fifth is the residence of the servants who have to be used.

Because Young Master Chen let go of foreign officials two years earlier, and the family went to other provinces with him, only the second young master and the third young master lived in the courtyard of Sanjin.

The already deserted Sanjin courtyard, due to the unexpected death of the second young master, people went to the courtyard empty, and it became even more lonely.

And Chen Baoding came back at a bad time that day, at this time his wife was going out to meet guests, and she was not at the house. Chen Baoding, who was sad and depressed, didn't want to insist on the etiquette and family rules that he had always cared about the most, so he hurriedly let people carry him into the house, and instead of going to the main courtyard of his wife, he went straight to his front yard study.

Entering the study, he retreated left and right, looking at the empty room, Chen Baoding felt an unspeakable pain.

It's not that he didn't suspect the death of his second son, but there were some things that he wanted to say and it was difficult to find a place to talk about them.

He looked up and sighed, but he lowered his head to tears.

It is said that Chen Baoding's eldest son and second son were not born to the current Mrs. Chen, but to his ex-wife, who passed away at an early age. When his ex-wife died, the eldest son was only seven years old, and the second son was even younger, and he was just able to walk. At that time, he had good luck in his official affairs and did not care about the upbringing of his two sons. The eldest son is fine, he has been learning and progressing since he was a child, and he doesn't need to worry about it. Only the second son, but he is bad by nature, very worry-free, he wants to take care of it but has no time to take care of it, so he can only tell the nurse to take good care of the younger son. No matter how conscientious the nurse is, after all, she is just a subordinate, separated by not one layer or two layers, no matter how hard she cares, she does not dare to exceed the etiquette and discipline, and the stubborn character of Chen Ergongzi is gradually drifting away under such half-push and half-connivance. When the current wife got married, in order to avoid suspicion, he let the two stepsons ignore it. By the time he discovered the seriousness of his second son's problem, it had already accumulated a lot of difficulties, and no matter how much he beat and scolded, it was useless.

Even if there is no way to return to the sky, no matter how angry and remorseful Chen Baoding is, no matter how sad and sad he is, he can only reluctantly choose to give up. For this son, he thought that as long as he didn't do too much, he liked to spend time drinking, watching flowers and horses, he would go to him, anyway, there was still some spare money at home, and he could afford to eat, drink and have fun, as long as things didn't make a big deal and didn't cross the rules of etiquette and religion.

It's just that the world is really unpredictable, what you don't want the most, what you want is the most, and the matter is still big, unexpectedly big.

The second son was suddenly hit to death, he didn't believe it at first, then he was shocked and couldn't help himself, and finally he had to accept this reality.

Then the cause of death followed, but he was still worried, and finally before he could turn from sadness, he was suddenly introduced to the palace.

After nearly a month in the palace, he finally recovered from his sadness, and when he was free, he remembered that day.

On that day, it was the beginning of the new year, and not long after the first emperor left, the snow was falling, and the weather was so cold that people did not want to move much.

And the second son, who has never been close to books, suddenly walked into his study without warning, holding a small package in his hand.

The second son, who had a strange smile, turned around and closed the door as soon as he stepped into his study, and then opened the package little by little in front of him while smiling, and slowly revealed an inconspicuous booklet that was tightly wrapped in it.

"Does Father know what this is?" the second son asked triumphantly, holding the pamphlet.

Chen Baoding shook his head in extreme displeasure.

"This is gold, more gold than a mountain of gold, and now it is in my hands. Haha, doesn't my father believe it, didn't you teach me since I was a child, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, why, but now I don't believe this. ”

The son got carried away with a smile, Chen Baoding was disdainful, he didn't want to see his son's ugliness anymore, he stood up and walked out without looking back, and couldn't help but reprimand sarcastically as he walked: "Then put away your golden house, don't come out and be embarrassed." ”

I don't want my son, who has always had a big temper and can't stand the slightest reprimand, but this time he showed his calmness.
