Chapter 105: King Pei is back
After learning the news that Empress Jingzhuang was sick, Zhao Yuxian, the king of Pei, immediately rushed back to the capital from his domain to visit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since he was brought up by Empress Jingzhuang, his request to return to Beijing to visit him was quickly approved by the emperor.
The domain of King Pei Zhao Yuxian was in Monan, and it took about five or six days to get to the capital from there on horseback.
Zhao Yuxian remembered Empress Jingzhuang's illness in his heart, so he often only slept for two or three hours at night and continued to hurry. Under his reluctance to rush day and night, it only took three days and three nights to rush to the capital.
When he arrived in the capital, he still went to see the emperor first according to etiquette.
The emperor looked at Zhao Yuxian, whose eyes were bloodshot and dusty, and said, "King Pei must have not rested much along the way, right?" ”
Zhao Yuxian blushed slightly and said, "It's okay, thank you for your concern." ”
His relationship with the emperor has never been very close, so he is always a little restrained in front of the emperor.
The emperor saw that his attitude was more than respectful and not affectionate, so he secretly sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, in response to the sentence 'It is difficult for the heavenly family to have a normal father-son relationship', his children seem to deliberately keep a distance from him, even if sometimes he wants to break the spell and get closer to them, but he can't always do it.
Sometimes he really feels that he doesn't have to run a country as hard as a family.
The world is not complicated, it is the human heart that is complicated.
The emperor himself is a suspicious person by nature, so it is no wonder that the children do not dare to get close to him.
"You go to the bath and change clothes first, and when you are ready, I and the prince will accompany you to Qingxin Villa to see your mother." The emperor said softly.
"Yes." Zhao Yuxian respectfully retreated.
Zhao Yuxian retreated, and the crown prince Zhao Yuliang hurried over.
Since there are not many recitals today, the emperor and the crown prince finished reviewing them in the afternoon.
The prince then went back to the East Palace for a lunch break.
After learning the news of King Pei's arrival in Beijing, the crown prince came to the Yinghua Palace again.
Zhao Yuxian, who came out of the bath, showed a happy smile when he saw Zhao Yuliang, but because the emperor was there, he didn't dare to step forward to hug this younger brother who was always worried about him, so he only smiled and said, "Your Highness is here?" ”
Zhao Yuliang also smiled and said, "Well, King Pei has worked the road. ”
The corners of their eyes and eyebrows were filled with the joy of seeing their loved ones again.
When the emperor saw it in his eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He coughed dryly in embarrassment.
The two brothers hurriedly looked away and sat down separately.
After drinking a cup of tea, the emperor and his two sons went to Qingxin Villa together.
Because of the sleep-inducing ingredients in the medicine, Empress Jingzhuang fell asleep shortly after drinking a bowl of medicine in the evening, and she did not wake up until the emperor, King Pei, and the crown prince arrived at Qingxin Villa.
The father and son couldn't bear to wake her up, so they sat down on a gazebo at the back of the villa.
Zhao Yuxian asked the emperor and the crown prince about Empress Jingzhuang's illness.
"It's still an old problem, and she's a person who loves to worry about it, so she can't sleep all night when she thinks about too many things, and once she doesn't get enough sleep, all kinds of physical problems will come out." The emperor replied before Zhao Yuliang answered.
"The same is true of Erchen's guess." Zhao Yuxian replied respectfully, not daring to say anything more.
This time, he brought a large amount of sour jujube kernels, Ganoderma lucidum, angelica, white peony, dried longan, walnut kernels, cypress kernels, and honey. These are all things that have a calming effect and hopefully will help her recovery.
Liu Ying didn't dare to let the emperor wait too long, so she woke up Empress Jingzhuang before the sun went down.
"King Pei has arrived, and he is sitting on the pavilion on the back mountain with His Majesty and His Royal Highness, waiting for you to wake up." Liu Ying said while helping Queen Zhuang up.
Empress Jingzhuang hurriedly said, "Go and let them come." ”
Although Zhao Yuxian was not born by herself, she was raised by herself after all, so Queen Jingzhuang has always regarded Zhao Yuxian as her son.
Now seeing that Zhao Yuxian rushed back thousands of miles away because he was sick, Queen Jingzhuang was naturally grateful and relieved, and she was reluctant to let go of Zhao Yuxian for a while.
"The princess and the children are fine, right?" Empress Jingzhuang asked him.
"It's all good, the queen mother doesn't have to worry." Zhao Yuxian also hugged Queen Jingzhuang tightly and said.
Queen Jingzhuang was already petite, but now because of her illness, she feels more and more weak.
Zhao Yuxian was distressed.
Since it was rare for the two to meet, the emperor and the crown prince retreated with interest to give the two of them a chance to talk alone.
The emperor and the crown prince had just walked out of the room when they saw Gonggong Zhang walking quickly, and the two of them suddenly looked slightly condensed.
Gonggong Zhang bent down slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the secret agent from the southwest region is back and is waiting for you outside the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”
The emperor immediately drove back to the palace.
The prince walked slowly under the verandah with his hands in his hands, as if he was completely aware of the contents of the agent's report.
Zhao Yuxian chatted with Queen Jingzhuang for nearly an hour.
By the time Zhao Yuxian came out of Empress Jingzhuang's room, it was already dark.
"Where is Your Highness?" Zhao Yuxian immediately asked the palace maid who was guarding the outer room.
The palace maid who was asked hurriedly replied, "In Jinsixuan." ”
Jin Si Xuan is a residence in the Pure Heart Villa, where the crown prince stays when he spends the night here.
Zhao Yuxian immediately walked towards Jin Sixuan.
The crown prince Zhao Yuliang was sitting on the Luohan bed by the window playing chess.
Zhao Yuxian approached him with a smile and said sincerely: "My Highness's love for games is probably incomparable. ”
Zhao Yuliang also smiled when he heard his words: "People should always have one or two habits, such as you like to study Buddhism." With fetishes, no matter how difficult life is, it will be much better. ”
"That's right." Zhao Yuxian smiled and sat down opposite Zhao Yuliang, looking at this half-brother with gentle eyes.
Zhao Yuliang asked, "Do you want my brother to come to a game?" ”
Zhao Yuxian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't play the chess that knows the outcome before you play." ”
"My brother is modest, and my brother's chess skills are not bad."
"That's because you've always deliberately lost to me before, and I know exactly what level I'm at." Zhao Yuxian said with a smile.
Zhao Yuliang put down his chess, looked at Zhao Yuxian and said, "How about my brother staying in Jin Sixuan tonight?" It's been a long time since we've been lying under the covers and chatting. ”
Zhao Yuxian nodded again and again: "Okay, good." ”
That's exactly what he thought.
It was night, and the two brothers really stayed in a quilt like they were children and whispered.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yuxian suddenly asked, "Has Your Majesty asked you to assist in political affairs now?" ”
Zhao Yuliang thought for a moment before nodding.
The big stone in Zhao Yuxian's heart suddenly fell to the ground and said with a smile: "That's good." ”
The crown prince Zhao Yuliang's expression changed slightly, but because there was darkness covering him, Zhao Yuxian didn't see it. (To be continued.) )
