"My aunt's health is not bad, it's already good!"

Cui Jinchen said truthfully: "My uncle accepted a new aunt before, and she will be seventeen years old, and she is the niece of the old lady of the Gao family, and she is in a hurry to send it to the door, I don't take it seriously when I see my uncle." ”

"The old lady of the Gao family's maiden niece?"

Cui Rongxuan frowned and said, "Another one who can't do it!" Leave her alone. Are your two aunts still safe in the Gao family? ”

"My father is relieved, and there is nothing wrong with his words and deeds."

Cui Rongxuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Father, there is one thing my son wants to tell you."

"Speak!"

"My aunt wants to hold a simple wedding banquet for me and my cousin, and the date is set for November 22, you see......"

"November 22? Engagement reception. ”

Cui Rongxuan's eyes darkened, and he groaned and did not speak.

Cui Jinchen was surprised and hurriedly said: "Doesn't my father want me to kiss my cousin the most?" What the hell is going on...... Could it be that my father wants to regret it? ”

"Nonsense!"

Cui Rongxuan waved his hand and said: "Gao, the Cui family has reached an agreement and exchanged tokens, how can there be any reason to regret marriage?" It's a good thing for you and Jasmine to kiss each other. It's just that this engagement banquet is scheduled for November 22......"

"My aunt said that I had read the yellow calendar, and that day was a good day, everything is suitable!" Cui Jinchen picked up the warm teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and said disapprerovitically.

Cui Rongxuan raised his sword eyebrows lightly, and said in a low voice: "Today's morning dynasty, the crown prince is in charge of the country!" Legend in the palace said that the emperor was sick! ”

Cui Jinchen's eyebrows skipped twice, and he looked at his father in a daze and didn't speak.

Cui Rongxuan glanced at his son, coughed twice and said lightly: "It is a matter of time before the crown prince supervises the country, and the emperor will be sick." But it's a little strange. The palace kept it a secret, and he couldn't find out for his father. ”

Although Cui Jinchen didn't know much about the affairs of the court, he also knew that it was not a trivial matter for the emperor to be sick, so he said: "Or, I'll go back and talk to my aunt about another day?" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Cui Rongxuan thought for a while and said, "You don't have to come forward in this matter. Your uncle is afraid that he has received the news, and he will think carefully about what to do. If he asks you what you mean, you just say that you want to do it sooner so that your aunt can rest assured! ”

"Why? Didn't my father just say that it wasn't a good day? ”

Cui Rongxuan said with a haha: "I said that it is not suitable because your uncle is the prime minister, and the prince must do his best to assist." I'm afraid I don't have time to worry about these little things. Your aunt is sick again, who is in charge of the house? ”

Cui Jinchen did not doubt him, and while bowing his head to refill the tea for his father, he said with a smile: "My aunt said that I only invited a few friends from the family to gather in one place, and there were not many guests. There are so many people in Gaofu. What's so hard about getting a little feast? ”

Cui Rongxuan suddenly looked at his son's gaze, flashed a complicated look, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Cui Jinchen handed the teacup to his father, and said with a ruffian: "Father, when will I move back to live, this is engaged, and it is not suitable to live in someone else's house again!" ”

"What my son said is very true. As soon as the banquet is over. You moved back, these days with the gentleman in Gaofu to learn more, don't be greedy to delay your studies! Cui Jinchen admonished.

"Can't delay. Your son and I are smart, never forget, draw inferences, and are definitely the dragon and phoenix among people, and my father can rest assured! ”

Cui Rongxuan saw his son boasting, but he was not angry. Holding the teacup, he said slowly: "Come on, you can go back." I'll wait for Lao Chen to pick me up! ”

Cui Jinchen knew that Lao Cheng, who was nearly forty years old, was his father's steward and staff, and he had been following his father for more than ten years. When he entered Beijing this time, his father deliberately took him with him, and he had someone to discuss in case of trouble.

So he didn't think much about it, drank a few more sips of tea, got up and saluted his father respectfully, got out of Mingyuexuan, held the hand of the little maid, climbed into the carriage, and walked away slowly.

……

After a while, a middle-aged man in gray hurriedly entered, went straight up to the second floor, looked around, and sat straight down where Cui Jinchen had just sit.

"How?"

"Master, I just got the news that the matter of dividing the left and right phases was originally the meaning of the queen's mother."

"Oh? It's her! Cui Rongxuan raised his chin and stroked his forehead with his hand.

"Master, the queen's mother's house, the few sleeping flowers and willows, spending all day and drinking, are not talents for the phase?" Lao Cheng hesitated in his heart.

Cui Rongxuan glanced at him lightly: "You have forgotten that Qian Yin, the eldest brother of Mrs. Xiaoyaohou, is now an official in the Imperial History Terrace." ”

"In this way, the queen is planning to ......" Lao Cheng looked shocked.

"It's hard to say, this time I entered Beijing, I thought that the water in Beijing was shallow, but after walking around in just a few days, I realized that the water was not only deep, but also muddy, Lao Cheng, the one in the middle palace should not be underestimated, in just ten years, her hand was stretched so long, not a good thing!"

Cui Rongxuan closed his eyes and sighed, and remembered his father's explanation before leaving, and his face gradually became solemn.

Lao Cheng saw that the old man didn't say a word, and didn't say much, and silently drank half a cup of tea with him.

At the end of the tea, the master and servant glanced at each other and walked out hand in hand.

As soon as the person left, a young man in a green robe stood on a very hidden tea party. The young man was very handsome, with a pair of dark eyes on his slightly thin face.

As soon as the guy saw him standing up, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lin, this is going to leave, don't sit for more meetings?" ”

……

At the gate of Funing Palace, Prince Zhao Jingqi hesitated.

Seeing the prince acting like this, Zhang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said lightly: "The prince is going in, the emperor has been waiting for the prince for more than half an hour." ”

Zhang Yi looked around, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "This queen is not here!" ”

Zhao Jingqi's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said: "How is my father?" ”

Zhang Yi looked up and smiled: "It's much better, I used some clear porridge this morning, and I saw the excerpt again." Prince, please! ”

Zhao Jingqi took two steps, and Hu Er stopped his feet and looked Zhang Yi up and down.

Said lightly: "The medicine sent by my father-in-law last night was excellent, and Xiao Songzi's life was saved." I have received this love! ”

Zhang Yi lowered his head and said busily: "The prince is serious. The slave is willing to share the prince's worries. ”

Zhao Jingqi looked at him fixedly, and sighed softly: "If Gonggong Zhang is really willing to share my worries and find an opportunity to bury those people who died in vain because of me, this prince will definitely not treat you badly in the future!" ”

Zhang Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, the prince." The minions must have done this! ”

Zhao Jingqi stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder twice, and strode away.

In a short time, the people had already walked to the bed, but they saw the emperor's face as pale as paper, and he was lying on the collapse with his eyes closed. Breathe evenly.

Zhao Jingqi saw that his father had lost weight in just two days, and his beard had turned white. Although he was pampered, he looked old, and he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, and his hands gradually oozed sweat.

He slowly stepped forward and fell to his knees silently. Hold on and don't speak.

……

"The emperor is here!"

The emperor slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly: "How is the court today?" ”

Zhao Jingqi hurriedly said: "Back to my father, I am fine, and there is no big deal." ”

The emperor seemed to be very satisfied, nodded and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Hold your breath steadily. You just have to remember that you are kings, and they are ministers. ”

"The retainers obey!"

In just one sentence, the emperor spoke very breathlessly, he paused and said: "Your queen mother has been taking care of the government for me for several years, and your knowledge and strategy are beyond your ability, in the future, if you don't make a decision." Listen to your mother's opinion. ”

"Erchen understands!" Zhao Jingqi said respectfully.

"Last night's incident, your mother shot a little heavier, but it was also because of you. You are her only prince. is the only prince of Daxin Kingdom, is her only hope, if you have something, how can your mother live? After you left yesterday, your mother shed tears for a long time before I collapsed. ”

Zhao Jingqi was ashamed and ashamed in her heart. couldn't help but tears floating in his eyes, and he choked up: Father. The sons and daughters left the palace without permission, and their father was seriously ill. After being tired of the mother, the son is not filial, and the son is guilty of death. ”

"What can't die, young man, how many days can endure this deep palace?

When my father was young, he often sneaked out of the palace, and he was skinier than you. The emperor had a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a mist in his eyes.

"Is what my father said true?"

"Emperor, you have no jokes. It's just that my father had many brothers and sisters at that time, and even if he was discovered, it was not a big problem, and he knelt down all the way. And you, however, are the only prince of Daxin Kingdom, with a heavy burden on your shoulders, and you can move your whole body. Do you understand? ”

The blurry color faded in a moment, and the emperor's eyes were deep and heavy again.

……

The lack of heirs is a long-standing tradition of the royal family of Xinguo.

The first emperor Wencheng was under his knees, and there were only three or five princes who grew up. Zhao Han is not a long-term heir, and in the end he was able to achieve a great cause, also because the former prince died young.

Emperor Jingde, Zhao Han, ascended to the throne at the age of twenty-seven, and now it has been twenty-eight years.

Zhao Han nineteen Ning Wang, married a wife Wu, a few years later, Wu was seriously ill, did not leave a son and a half daughter and died.

Zhao Han later married his wife Guo. Guo was born in a high-ranking family and accompanied Zhao Han all the way from the position of the crown prince to the peak of power, not to mention the hardships. It is a pity that in the tenth year of Jingde, Guo also died of illness.

At that time, in addition to the queen, Emperor Jingde had 3,000 beauties in the harem, but for some reason, there were only a dozen Miao Miao who were pregnant and gave birth to children.

What's even more unfortunate is that these princes and princesses grew up to four or five years old, and even seven or eight years old, and they always died early due to various diseases.

Therefore, Emperor Jingde is approaching the age of not being confused, and there are only two lonely princesses under his knees, and there is not even an heir who can be entrusted to the country.

In the thirteenth year of Jingde, Concubine Liu De, who was forty years old, was pregnant for ten months, gave birth to a prince after nine deaths, married Zhao Jingqi, and became the only prince among the many princes of Emperor Jingde who survived and grew up healthy.

In the fourteenth year of Jingde, Concubine Liu Shu's mother overwhelmed the nobles of the harem by virtue of her son, and was named the queen by the emperor himself. Five years later, Zhao Jingqi, who was only seven years old, was made the crown prince.

The position of the prince, if there is a little accident about the country, it is the foundation of the troubled country. Therefore, Zhao Jingqi avoided everyone to go out without permission this time, which caused the emperor to be seriously ill and the queen to be angry, which was also reasonable.

Zhao Jingqi understood at one point, bowed down, and said sincerely and convincingly: "Erchen understands, Erchen knows his mistakes!" ”

"Get up!"

Zhao Jingqi dared to get up, looked back and saw Zhang Yi coming over with the medicine cup, taking the medicine bowl, tasting two bites, and then sending it to the emperor and feeding it in person.

The medicine was closed, the emperor looked at the crown prince, and said with a slight smile: "Gao Xiang, what does the emperor think?" (To be continued)
