Chapter 748: Father and Son
"How is that kid?" In the harem, Emperor Hongzhi was reclining on the soft couch, holding a bowl of ginseng tea in his hand and sipping gently, and asked indifferently to Du Fu, who was waiting on the side.
Du Fu bowed and said with a smile: "It's been almost two hours, and even Your Majesty, your imperial case, has been lying on your stomach to study for a long time." At this time, he said that he was hungry and wanted to break out, but was stopped by the guards, as if he was very annoyed. ”
He laughed, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly laughed too. Handing him the teacup in his hand, he sat up straight and said with a low smile: "Are you even interested in my imperial case?"
This stubble is not easy to take, Du Fu just bowed down, but did not respond.
The curtain in the middle was lifted, and Queen Zhang walked out with a slight anxiety on her face. Du Fu bowed again, stepped back to the door and stood.
Empress Zhang bowed her head slightly at him, and then glanced at Emperor Hongzhi with disgust, and sighed: "Your Majesty, Taikang just broke out in a sweat again, this is ......."
Hongzhi frowned, raised his head to look at her suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you sweating again?" I used the pill sent back by Zhang Zhenren two days ago, isn't it already a lot better?"
Empress Zhang was silent, her face was full of sadness, she shook her head gently, and stopped talking.
Emperor Hongzhi stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, turned his head and said, "Can you pass on the imperial doctors?" let the imperial doctors take a second look, maybe ......."
He was halfway through his words, but he saw Empress Zhang looking at him with a sad face, her eyes were full of tears, and she was full of begging, so the words couldn't help but stop abruptly, and then turned into a long sigh.
The doctors have seen the condition of the little princess Taikang countless times, and the conclusions they have come to are completely consistent. Princess Taikang is congenitally deficient, and her teeth are too young to use ordinary drugs to make up for it.
Fortunately, there was a real person who refined some pills, which had some miraculous effects. Every time you go in a little bit, you can make the little princess's breath a little stronger. However, this kind of pill refining is not easy, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
Not to mention, with the increase in the number of pills taken, the effect of the pills is getting weaker and weaker. At first, it can last almost three to five days, but now, it is only about one day and one night at most.
Zhang Zhenren is also helpless about this, and this time he went out for this matter, saying that he was looking for an elixir, which might help the little princess's condition.
And it was precisely because of this article that Emperor Hongzhi suddenly had a little confidence on Su Mo's side, and just grasped a little mistake of this kid, and wanted to treat him well, so as not to let this kid sell at a price, and become more and more lawless. This is much the same as Su Mo's guess of "boiling eagles".
It's just unexpected, the * over there has just begun, and the situation of the little princess here is not good. The imperial doctors really can't count on it, and Zhang Zhenren is not there, the only hope is Su Mo who is imprisoned in Qianqingmen.
It's just that this kid didn't want to be honest just now, and now he announced that he would come to treat the little princess, and he had to let this kid go to heaven? Not to mention whether he could be cured well, just on the emperor's face, Emperor Hongzhi himself felt a little unable to get down.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ...... Why don't you ask the concubine to beg him......?
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand irritably, and sighed: "Cover your ears and steal the bell! You and I are one, what is the difference between you and me?" ”
Sighing like this, he turned around and waved his hand at Du Fu at the door, and asked Du Fu to pass Su Mo over. A small head poked out from the side of the door of Meng Buding, and his dark eyes turned, and he met the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, and immediately put on a big smile, but it was not the little prince Zhu Houzhao.
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but reprimand. This kid got into trouble, but ran away early. I originally expected that he must have come to this harem to find his mother's shelter, but after coming over, he found that Zhu Houzhao had come, but he only told Queen Zhang that he was curious for a while, and when he went to Qianqingmen to see Su Mo, who could treat his sister, his subordinates did not know the situation, and Su Mo did not understand etiquette, so he made a little misunderstanding.
So he was afraid that his father would blame him, so he asked Empress Zhang to help him mediate in front of his father. And then...... Then there was no more, and this kid was so clever that he hid out in advance, and he couldn't find him for a while.
Since Emperor Hongzhi couldn't find him in person, most of that anger dissipated. What's more, he was reluctant to really punish this baby bump, it was nothing more than a scare. After visiting his daughter and comforting the queen, he had long forgotten about him.
At this time, Xu felt that the time was almost up, and this naughty boy ran out to take a look, but he was being caught.
At this time, seeing that his father's face was not good-looking, Zhu Houzhao panicked in his heart, and after trying to accompany a big smile, he shrank his neck and was about to run away, but he heard the faint voice of Emperor Hongzhi inside: "Stop! Come, tell me, where are you going to hide?"
Zhu Houzhao's half-raised feet froze, and finally put his feet down a little stiffly, his eyes turned sharply, but where would he think of a way for a while?
When his head was sweating in a hurry, he suddenly looked in the shadows, and the old eunuch Du Fu's eyes were different. stared at it, but saw that Du Fu's eyes first glanced inside, and then looked in a certain direction outside, and then wiped his eyelids, as if those movements were just unconscious actions.
Zhu Houzhao's mind is not ordinary, of course he knows better what kind of person this old eunuch is. Not to mention such an obvious action, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, it is like a clay carving and wood sculpture, and you won't even have the slightest superfluous expression.
Then, his hint just now will not be untargeted. But what does that mean?
He spun around slowly, thinking as he raced. It's just that the speed of the body is almost three points slower than that of slow motion, and the meaning of procrastination cannot be concealed by a blind person.
Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi didn't urge, just looked at him with a smile, and let him perform, wanting to see what kind of urgency this son would have to deal with the current difficulties.
In half his life, only such a son grew up healthy and became a prince early. If there is no accident in the future, he will definitely be the next emperor of the Ming Empire.
As an emperor, he has to face all kinds of problems and troubles, and among them, the danger and distress are even more difficult than the current ones. It is important to respond appropriately, but it is also essential to respond intelligently.
Therefore, he tried to guide his son almost at every opportunity, hoping that he could gradually learn something, even if it was just something very simple. Just like at this moment, he didn't urge, just waited patiently, with a faint expectation in his eyes, flickering from time to time.
Queen Zhang knows her husband's thoughts, seeing that the daughter here is waiting for help, and the son over there is going to be punished again, which side is also the meat of the heart. In a hurry, the tears could no longer be held back, and they fell with a crackle, and their feet moved slightly, and they stepped forward to plead for their son.
Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly gestured with his eyes, waved his hand lightly under the sleeves of his robe, and gave her a reassuring look, Empress Zhang was stunned to notice something wrong, hesitated, and retracted her steps.
Over there, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were like a windmill, but he couldn't grasp it for a while. No matter how smart he is, after all, he is only a ten-year-old child, and it is really difficult for him to guess the cause and effect with just a few glances.
Just now, I peeked at the queen mother's side and seemed to be moving, and when I was full of joy, I suddenly saw the queen mother shrink back for some reason, and I couldn't help but be disappointed in my heart. Just as he was annoyed and couldn't figure it out, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tears on the queen mother's face, as well as the anxiety that was almost overflowing, and his heart hurt at first, but suddenly he was blessed with a blessing to his heart, and a spiritual light flashed instantly.
"Ahem, Father, isn't the child worried about his sister's condition, so he also wants to follow Zhang Zhenren's way to go around and see if he can find some good things...... Ahem, how could it be, quack......" He laughed dryly, his eyes flickering, and the two of them were in a hurry.
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he first glanced at Empress Zhang, in exchange for a strange white eye from the queen. The two have been married for so many years, and the tacit understanding has been formed early, and at this time, how can Empress Zhang still understand what her husband means? Although there are still tears on her face, there is a great sense of relief in her eyes, and she only looks at the interaction between the father and son with a smile.
I couldn't help but pray silently in my heart: I only hope that the hard-working daughter can recover again, and if the family goes on in peace and joy, it will be a death for ten years and there will be no regrets.
Over there, Emperor Hongzhi appeased the queen, and then he seemed to be a little surprised, and said in a manly voice: "I see, it's rare." So has the prince found any supernatural things, why don't you take them out for me to see?"
Zhu Houzhao's face was bitter, he raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his head, rolled his eyes to make a dejected look, and sighed: "So that my father and emperor know that my son and son have been old for a long time, and they almost searched the entire imperial city, but they still found nothing." Erchen just thought, maybe the good things in our imperial city were all poached by that real person early. The bull's nose is also poisonous, and it is too much not to leave a single star for Erchen. ”
While he was performing exaggeratedly, he didn't forget to take Zhang Zhenren as a pawn in the end, and Emperor Hongzhi, who only listened, was amused and angry, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't stop talking! Bold child, how dare you be disrespectful to real people!"
Zhu Houzhao shrank his neck and put on a big smile. Just looking at the corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth slightly hooked, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that this level was over. Under the turn of his mind, he said more vigorously: "Yes, yes, Erchen respects Zhang Zhenren." It's just that I'm worried about my sister's body, so I'm a little anxious, so I don't choose what to say. Ah, by the way, speaking of this, Erchen just met a capable person today, and he definitely has great ability, maybe he can cure his sister. Otherwise, my father and my son will have the same will, and my son will call him to show his sister?"
Emperor Hongzhi heard that he actually talked about the noon trouble, as if he was striking while the iron was hot, and completely picking out his own mistakes was not counted, but he still wanted to ask for a good job, this clever energy made him feel very relieved, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, and he laughed out loud.
