Chapter 81

The prince didn't eat enough at night, and he was scolded by the emperor, and when he saw the emperor and Lin Yan getting along well in Changkun Palace, he was in a bad mood, and he fell asleep when he came back.

As a result, he woke up hungry in the middle of the night, got up from the bed and asked the palace people to find him food.

In the middle of the night, the fire was extinguished in the dining room, and the prince thought that it was too long to wait for the dining room to relight the fire, so he asked people to find him a plate of snacks and prevaricate.

The prince ate the dry and astringent snacks with tea, his heart was aggrieved, and his eyes involuntarily filled with tears.

In his heart, he thinks that his father is sorry for him, and he robbed the woman he likes!

But seeing that the emperor looked like he didn't know anything, he was even more unrelenting, and he didn't even know how to vent his grievances. He wanted him to know about some broken jars, but he was afraid and afraid to let him know. He knew sensibly that this was not only his father, but also the emperor who held the power of life and death, but he hated his own sanity.

Father-in-law Fang saw that he was eating sadly, so he persuaded again: "Your Highness, let the dining room cook some hot things, and make some simple food, which will be very fast." ”

The prince said, "No need. After speaking, he took a vicious bite of the pastry in his hand.

He thought of the emperor's reproach to him for not making progress in his homework today, and he had indeed deliberately and deliberately slackened off these days to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart.

But in addition to being embarrassed that this kind of venting is useless for himself, his father still doesn't know anything, he only feels that he has no effort. and his good second brother, I heard that recently he often took his own articles to ask his father for credit.

The prince was angry, threw the pastries in his hand back on the plate, and said with some anger: "Go and bring Lone's book, Lone wants to read all night." ”

Father-in-law Fang was surprised, these days the prince is passive and reluctant to do his homework, he is also so anxious that his eyes are on fire, so he almost knelt and begged the prince to do his homework, and now the prince is finally willing to read, Father-in-law Fang is naturally happy. Just looked at the sky and time, and then persuaded: "Your Highness, why don't you wait until tomorrow to see it?" ”

The prince scolded: "Let you go and get it, where is there so much nonsense." ”

Father-in-law Fang hurriedly said yes, glanced at the palace people around him, and asked people to light up the lights in the room.

The next day, Lin Yan heard that the prince was sick.

Lin Yan asked the Yanqing Palace people who came to report to her: "I was fine yesterday, why did I get sick?" ”

The palace man replied: "Your Highness read all night last night, and I felt unwell in the morning, thinking that I probably caught a cold at night. ”

When did the prince's body become so delicate, not to mention that it is now summer, what can he get cold at night.

Lin Yan was a little suspicious that the prince was pretending to be sick, but she still asked the prince to ask for a doctor and personally went to Yanqing Palace to visit the prince.

The prince was lying on the bed, looking really sick.

Lin Yan asked him, "What is wrong with Your Highness?" ”

The prince looked at her, and said in a coquettish voice: "I have a headache, my feet hurt, my hands hurt, and my whole body is uncomfortable." ”

Lin Yan lowered her eyes and motioned for the imperial doctor to check his pulse.

But the prince looked at her and said, "I'm lonely, you will come to see me every day, right?" ”

Lin Yan said: "Your Highness is blessed by dragon qi, and you will definitely be able to recover soon." ”

The imperial doctor finished diagnosing the prince's pulse, then stood up, arched his hand to Lin Yan, seemed to be speechless and stopped, and said after a long time: "In the bitter nights of spring and summer, His Royal Highness is probably a little depressed and unable to breathe. ”

That's not sick, just in a bad mood.

Lin Yan glared at the prince on the bed, but the prince didn't feel weak at all, but met her gaze and smiled at her, Lin Yan only felt that the child was hopeless.

The imperial physician carried the medicine box and was about to leave, but Lin Yan stopped them and said, "Wait, several imperial doctors haven't prescribed medicine to His Highness yet." ”

The doctors glanced at each other, what kind of prescription did this prescribe for a disease? If you are in a bad mood, you can only relieve or explain it by yourself.

Lin Yan said again: "Good medicine is bitter, prescribe some bitter medicine to His Royal Highness." ”

The imperial doctor immediately understood, put down the medicine box, and prescribed a summer prescription that tasted extremely bitter and did not damage the body.

Lin Yan handed the prescription to the palace people and said, "Go to the imperial pharmacy and grab the medicine." ”

stared at the palace man of Yanqing Palace again: "In the future, you will fry it every day according to the recipe, and wait for His Highness to take it." ”

Doesn't she like to pretend to be sick, then she will let him drink medicine and drink enough.

Lin Yan took people back to Changkun Palace, and then someone from the palace came to report, and the Duchess of Wuguo handed over a sign to ask to see.

Lin Yan nodded, and asked people to welcome the Qi family in.

The Qi family came with a heavy face, and after saluting Lin Yan, he glanced at the palace maid in the hall.

Lin Yan asked people to go out, leaving only Mu Qing.

Only then did Qi Shi speak: "What Niangniang told her courtiers yesterday, the family has already inquired about it. ”

Lin Yan nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Qi continued: "The girl that the Zhongshan Hou Mansion intends to send to the palace is the daughter of Zhongshan Hou's cousin. ”

"Cousin? The palace remembered that among the cousins of the Marquis of Zhongshan, there was no girl named Jiang Xi. ”

The family went out to socialize, keeping in mind that the interpersonal relationship of each province is the basic skill, Lin Yan began to recite the complex family relations and in-laws of each province since she was five years old. There is such a girl among Zhongshan Hou's cousins, it is impossible for her not to know.

Qi said: "This cousin of the Marquis of Zhongshan only recently came to the door to recognize the family of the Marquis of Zhongshan. Qi Shi sank his eyes, and continued: "There is one thing that happened in the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion thirty or forty years ago, and the mother may not know that even the courtiers were still young when it happened. The grandfather of Zhongshan Hou has married two wives, the original wife died early, leaving an eldest son, that is, the father of Zhongshan Hou, and later the old Zhongshan Hou remarried a stepwife, and the stepwife gave birth to a young son, the old Zhongshan Hou is quite fond of this young and beautiful stepwife, and he also has a lot of love for the young son.

After the death of the old Marquis Zhongshan, the father of the Marquis of Zhongshan attacked the lord, and drove the stepmother and younger brother out of the Hou Mansion, and the family property was not distributed to the younger brother, saying that he was afraid that the stepmother was young and could not keep it for the younger brother temporarily, and on the other hand, he forced the stepmother and younger brother to return to his hometown to the old Zhongshan Hou Shouxiao, but on the way back to the hometown, the mother and son fell into the river, saying that they were dead, and everyone speculated that the father of the Marquis of Zhongshan drove the stepmother and younger brother to death.

It's just that this person is dead, and there is no longer this person in Beijing, and everyone will forget about the affairs of the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion after a few years, so when Niangniang was in the boudoir, she popularized the relationship between the families and clans to Niangniang, and she didn't talk about it. ”

Lin Yan asked, "If you say that you are dead, how can you come back to life?" ”

Qi said: "I think it is because they did not drown after falling into the river, they were rescued, and they were afraid that the Hou Mansion of Zhongshan would kill them again, so they married a wife and had children outside, and it was not until recently that they found the Hou Mansion again to recognize their relatives." The current Jiang Xi girl should be the granddaughter of the uncle of the Marquis of Zhongshan. ”

Lin Yan said: "According to my aunt's words, that girl should have an enmity with the Marquis of Zhongshan's mansion, how could the Marquis of Zhongshan be willing to send her into the palace?" ”

Qi Shi frowned and said, "The courtiers can't figure it out either. ”
