Chapter 142: Never Break Your Promise
Zhou Chang's peace of mind was already shaken, but he looked at Lin Wan with a more suspicious gaze. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This little girl's seemingly innocent words made things another possibility, and it seemed to be more beneficial to Dafeng than Prime Minister Liu's previous proposal.
At this time, Zhou Lingwei's legs had recovered, and she was sitting up, wiping the sweat on Zhou Tianqi's forehead with a handkerchief.
Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Lingwei have been paying attention to the conversation between Zhou Changan and Lin Wan, and they know in their hearts that the sacred heart has been shaken, and they are no longer in a hurry.
Zhou Lingwei sat up straight, looked at Zhou Changan with pitiful eyes, and pleaded: "Father, the son is not filial, which makes you angry, please ask the father to punish his daughter, don't blame Seventh Brother and Wan'er, they are all here for their daughter." ”
Zhou Changan walked to Zhou Lingwei's couch, looked at her slightly bent knees, raised his eyebrows and asked Zhou Tianqi, "Qi'er, is there anything wrong with Wei'er's legs?"
Zhou Tianqi hesitated a little and replied, "It should be fine, but let the imperial doctor take a second look." The ground is cold, and it is best to drink some decoction to get rid of the cold. ”
Zhou Changan nodded, and instructed outside the hall: "Imperial Doctor Xuan come in." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Outside the door was the voice of the palace maid.
After a while, Imperial Doctor Hu came in, checked Zhou Lingwei's pulse, looked at her legs again, and said that it was okay, but he still prescribed a decoction to replenish his body.
Imperial Doctor Hu was planning to retire. I only heard the sound of the bead curtain striking, and saw Father-in-law Qi running in in a panic.
With a "plop", Gonggong Qi knelt down in front of Zhou Chang'an, and stammered: "Your Majesty, the slave sent Miss Lu Er back to Yunxia Palace." Because he was worried about the emperor, he immediately rushed back. But before she got out of the harem, Aunt Cai, who was next to the queen's mother, chased after her, saying that Miss Lu Er was hanging from the beam. Fortunately, the maid around her found out in time and had been saved, and the queen asked the emperor and the seventh prince to come over and have a look. ”
Zhou Changan twisted his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Tianqi, only to see that when he heard Lu Manting hanging the beam, he frowned slightly, and there was a trace of irritability and disgust in his eyes.
Zhou Changan commanded in a deep voice: "Qi Hai, take Imperial Doctor Hu to take a look first, and I will arrive later." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Qi Hai hurriedly stood up, invited Imperial Doctor Hu, and hurriedly walked outside the hall.
Zhou Changan carefully observed Zhou Tianqi's expression and saw that he did not show any concern for this matter at all. Turning his head to look at Lin Wan again, Lin Wan was frowning thoughtfully.
Zhou Changan squinted at Lin Wan and asked suspiciously: "Wan'er, Manting treats you well on weekdays, don't you want to go and see her?"
Lin Wan shook her head and said helplessly: "It's not that Wan'er doesn't want to see Sister Manting, it's just that Wan'er secretly entered the palace and didn't dare to let the queen mother know." Now that Sister Manting is fine, with the queen mother and Imperial Doctor Hu here, Wan'er is relieved. Moreover, what Sister Manting wants to see is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, but not Wan'er. ”
Zhou Changan nodded, and then asked with interest: "Wan'er is reasonable. In Wan'er's opinion, how can this matter be the best of both worlds?"
Lin Wan's eyes were clear, she shook her head, and replied bluntly: "Your Majesty, Wan'er thinks it's impossible to have both worlds. ”
Zhou Changan didn't expect her to answer like this, and continued to ask, "Why?"
Lin Wan looked like he was talking about things, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is already well known that Sister Manting likes His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince's indifference to Sister Manting these days is also obvious to everyone. This concubine has a heart, but Lang has no intention, how can she have the best of both worlds? Whether His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince marries Sister Manting or not, it is a pain for Sister Manting. The so-called long pain is better than short pain, Wan'er thought that after a long time, Sister Manting is so smart, she will definitely be able to slowly wake up. However, I didn't expect her to find a short-sightedness. If this is spread, it will greatly damage the reputation of Sister Manting and the virtuous name of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and ask the emperor and the queen to block the news, so as not to be used by someone with a heart to make an article. ”
Zhou Chang'an couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Wan say it, nodded and said: "Wan'er is the truth, every sentence is reasonable, and she is thoughtful, and she does have the style of a father." ”
Lin Wan smiled, shook his head and patted his ass: "Father often said that the emperor is wise and benevolent, and Wan'er also thinks that the emperor is kind and kind, otherwise how dare she speak freely in front of the emperor?"
Zhou Changan was very happy when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw that this little girl looked weird and unabashedly flattering.
Zhou Lingwei and Zhou Tianqi also showed smiles on their faces, and the gloomy atmosphere in the previous hall had disappeared, replaced by harmony and warmth.
Zhou Changan turned to look at Zhou Tianqi again, frowned and asked, "Qi'er, you will be fifteen years old next month, and there is no woman by your side so far." Your sixth brother is the same year as you, and I heard that the sixth princess has good news now. The last time you told me, you would ask me for advice when you met the right one, but you can't just put it off like this. Manting is going to be married this month, if you don't want to marry her, first seal her a side concubine, presumably she is also willing, although she has been a little wronged, but if the two of you re-establish a relationship in the future, it is not too late to be promoted to a concubine, and I can have an explanation with the queen mother and the queen. ”
Zhou Tianqi's face was solemn, his brows were frowned, and he refused without hesitation: "Father, the son has already told you last time, and only one person is enough in this life." The sons and daughters have sworn in front of their mothers and concubines, and they will never break their promises. ”
Zhou Changan snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, and he said sharply: "Then when you promised to marry Manting, did you ever think of never breaking your word?"
Zhou Tianqi was speechless for a while, looked directly at Zhou Changan, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Father, the son was young, and he was highly poisoned and confused, so I don't remember if I said such a thing. Even if it is said, how can the words of a six-year-old child be taken seriously? Just as Sister Shicai Wan'er said, how can emotional matters be forced? What's more, the son swore in front of his mother that there will only be one wife in this life, and my wife can only be the one I love. It could never be Lu Manting!"
Zhou Changan looked at his son, his eyes gradually softened, and even a little sad, and muttered, "Is this what your mother taught you?"
Zhou Tianqi also had a deep pain in his eyes, nodded, looked at the direction of Concubine Chen's palace, and said slowly: "The mother concubine said that in this harem, how many women have looked through the autumn water and did not wait for their father to look at them; how many women have done anything to frame and slander them in order to compete for favor; how many of these women really love the emperor as a person, and how many of them love the emperor's powerful position? The mother concubine has loved her father and children all her life, and she has not fought for anything or robbed anything, but she has not won the trust of her father. The mother concubine said, don't blame the father, in this deceitful harem, it is so rare that the father no longer believes it. The mother concubine said, Qi'er, you must not let your beloved woman be sad for you in the future, and you must not lose your true heart in lies. (To be continued.) )
