Lin Yan rolled up her sleeves and sprinkled the medicine for external injuries on a finger-length wound on the emperor's forearm, the wound was not deep, but it was also a little shocking to look at, Lin Yan couldn't help frowning.
She gently applied the medicine evenly on the wound with her hand, took out the white gauze from the medicine box, and said while helping the emperor bandage the wound: "The emperor is really, what do you have to pull Chengzheng to compare swords." ”
The emperor looked down at her and smiled, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury." ”
Lin Yan glanced at the emperor and snorted, "Aren't the concubines worried about the emperor?" The concubine was worried about Chengzheng. You hurt the emperor, although it was an unintentional mistake, but I am afraid that I will feel guilty this month. It was obviously a happy thing for our sister and brother to see each other, but the emperor became like this. ”
The Emperor laughed and said, "That's really something to blame. ”
Although he didn't take it to heart, looking at Lin Chengzheng's uneasy and panicked expression at that time, he was afraid that he still regarded hurting him as a great thing.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I will give him a sword to suppress his surprise." ”
Lin Yan said: "The emperor or don't, don't let the emperor suppress it, but it makes Chengzheng even more uneasy." ”
After she bandaged his wound, she lowered his sleeve and said, "This wound is a bit deep, I don't know if it will be inflamed." If not, call the Imperial Doctor. ”
The emperor moved his hand left and right, and said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, you don't need a doctor, and you can save trouble." ”
He just hurt his fingers, and the courtiers could make a fuss, and then knelt down one by one to let him take care of the dragon's body. The occasional concern of the courtiers would make the emperor comfortable, but if they cared too much, the emperor would be bored. What's more, they knelt down and said to take care of the dragon body, but in fact, they can really be a little sincere.
If they ask him to find out why he was injured, it will inevitably involve more things.
Lin Yan knew that the emperor was somewhat thinking about her younger brother, and she was a little moved in her heart.
At this time, the nurse came out of the inner hall with Princess Rui in her arms, and Princess Rui saw the emperor and stretched out her hand to let him hug her.
Lin Yan hurriedly took her from the nurse's hand and said to her: "My father can't hold Princess Rui now, my father's hand hurts, is it okay for the queen mother to hold Princess Rui." ”
Princess Rui understood, and didn't insist anymore, but just stretched her neck in Lin Yan's arms and looked at the emperor, as if she wanted to know where her father was in pain, and then raised her eyes to look at the emperor suspiciously.
The emperor touched her little head with his uninjured hand and asked, "What did Princess Rui do today?" ”
Princess Rui didn't respond to his question, looked at him and blinked twice, then reached out and grabbed the hand that was on her head, blew twice, and looked up at him.
She remembered that every time she hit a pain, the queen mother would give her a snort like this.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh happily and said, "Rui'er calls her father, and her father won't be in pain." ”
The emperor said to Lin Yan: "Give her to me, I will hug her." ”
Lin Yan said: "Your hand is still injured." ”
The emperor said: "It's okay, Rui'er is more important, I can hold it with one hand." After speaking, he reached out to grab her.
Princess Rui still remembered her father's pain, turned around and hugged Lin Yan's neck, and didn't want the emperor to hug her, the emperor saw her like this, so he had to touch her head and give up.
The emperor talked to Lin Yan about the prince again, and said: "Tai'er has set off from Yuzhou to return to Beijing, and now he should have arrived in Daxing, and he will be able to return to the palace in a few days." ”
Lin Yan said: "That's just right, less than a month before the wedding day of him and Cui's family, the prince also needs to prepare well." "Not to mention anything else, the prince should be familiar with the cumbersome etiquette and process of marrying the crown princess in advance.
When she married the emperor, she was familiar with the process of the wedding, but she listened to them for half a month.
Lin Yan also deliberately glanced at the emperor and said with a deliberate smile: "The concubine is still afraid that the emperor will forget that the prince is going to get married." ”
The Emperor smiled, "I have always remembered it. "This is his first son to marry a daughter-in-law.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but have a little joy on my face.
The emperor said: "This time Tai'er has done a very good job, he can be polite and virtuous, humble and studious, think of ways with the officials in charge of water conservancy, and can also share the hardships and hardships with the people, so it is not in vain for me to let him go out to experience this." He was well received by local officials. ”
Although most of these evaluations are aimed at currying favor with the prince, if he can make an appearance, it can be regarded as his growth.
Lin Yan said: "Actually, the prince is smart, and he was just a little spoiled before. ”
The Emperor nodded.
In late April, the crown prince finally returned to Beijing.
When he went, the second prince went with the crown prince, but when he came back, the second prince took the initiative to ask Ying to stay and continue to supervise the progress of water conservancy, and wrote an excerpt and submitted it to the emperor, putting forward several suggestions to solve the problem of water conservancy construction.
And his suggestion is indeed feasible, which is quite appreciated by several ministers of the Ministry of Industry.
Therefore, in this inspection of water conservancy, the praise of the ministers of the court and the central government for the second prince overshadowed the praise of the prince, as if all the credit was on the second prince, and the prince became a foil.
When the crown prince heard the ministers' appreciation of the second prince in Yanqing Palace, he sneered disdainfully.
The suggestions put forward on the second prince's excerpt were the methods he came up with through the hundreds of classics and discussed with Zhao Rin through letters.
He didn't plan to use this to ask his father for credit, and he didn't know if these methods would work when he came up with them, so he proposed them to the minister in charge of water conservancy to see if they were feasible.
Zhao Rin is not only outstanding in literature, but also has his own insights and attainments in water conservancy. The methods he proposed, which were revised and supplemented by Zhao Rin, have indeed achieved certain results in solving some difficult problems in water conservancy.
But I didn't expect that these have now become the credit of the second child.
The second child is indeed a little smart, and he gave his father a fold before him, and the ministers in charge of water conservancy will not participate in the battle between the prince and the prince, so he understands that they will not take the initiative to tell the truth, and if he, the prince, tells his father or ministers that he came up with these methods after returning to Beijing, the ministers will only think that he, the prince, and his brother are robbing the merit.
Even if he argues and proves that he came up with it, he will lose the prince's demeanor, and he will become a prince who is not humble enough to be happy.
No matter what, he's going to have to suffer this dumb loss.
But since the second child likes to grab credit, he will give him this credit.
He asked him to see if he could fight for a good name, and he would be able to pull him down as a prince and become a prince himself. (To be continued.) )
