Chapter 144: The Emperor's Mind, Father-Son Love (II)
Because the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Empress Dowager Wang are both there, although Emperor Hongzhi has no concubines, there are two elders who are having eight classics, and the Renshou Palace, which was originally only for the Empress Dowager to live, is inevitably difficult to accommodate two palaces, so at the beginning of the enthronement, the Empress Dowager Zhou moved to the original Prince East Palace Qingning Palace. When Zhu Houzhao was born and canonized, but there was no place to live, Emperor Hongzhi chose to choose, after all, because the name of Chengqian Palace was more festive, he moved the prince here, and it was easy to visit from Qianqing Palace.
At this time, the Chengqian Palace was overcrowded. Whether it is the silver-haired Empress Dowager Zhou, or the well-maintained Empress Dowager Wang, they are all full of worries, not to mention Empress Zhang, who has just come out of the Dongnuan Pavilion and has tears on her face. As the king of a country, Emperor Hongzhi sat on the main seat, changed his ordinary and gentle Xi surname, and was furious at a group of imperial doctors and imperial doctors, which caused all the Xinglin national players from the court envoy to the court to kowtow without crowns, and their expressions were extremely embarrassed.
Therefore, when he reported that Xiao Jing had brought Xu Xun here, he said impatiently without thinking about it: "If you come, bring it in quickly, and tell him that as long as the prince drinks medicine, he can give him any reward he wants!" ”
Such a sentence that should not be said by the monarch, from the empress dowager downward, no one raised any objections, and the few big eunuchs who rushed over after hearing the news were just watching their noses and noses and obeying their orders. So, when the news spread outside, Xu Xun, who was following Xiao Jing up the steps, almost fell headlong, and suddenly secretly complained in his heart, and deeply regretted giving Zhu Houzhao a bad idea.
Outside the door, he kowtowed to the series of nobles, and immediately Zhang Yong, the eunuch he had seen yesterday, led him to the East Warm Pavilion. Walking on the road, the middle-aged eunuch was not as anxious as others, and said softly: "Xu Gongzi must know that the little marquis from yesterday is His Royal Highness the Prince, and I Zhang Yong won't say much about what to do when we meet later." Although you voted for His Royal Highness the Prince, there is one thing I still remind you of, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is stubborn and stubborn, you have to think of a way. ”
Xu Xun was a human being in two lifetimes, and the biggest headache was that he didn't eat this soft and hard, so he was already bitter when he entered the Dongnuan Pavilion. Before he walked to the big bed with the cyan curtain, he heard Zhu Houzhao's ouching voice, and he was startled for a while, and immediately quickened his pace. When he walked to the bed and saw the person clearly, he gasped for a while.
This little prince's face is really not good-looking, it doesn't look like a fake illness, but like a real illness!
Zhu Houzhao was making a fuss on the bed, and suddenly turned his head to the side and found that it was Xu Xun, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly pushed the two palace maids around him away, and shouted loudly: "Xu Xun, come here, come here!" You two, hurry up and get out of the way! ”
This angry voice didn't look like he was sick, Xu Xun was confused all of a sudden, and when he saw Liu Jin glaring at him, he hurriedly stepped forward and was about to kneel down to salute, but Liu Jin pressed him and sat down on the pedal, followed by this one, he left him and went up and blasted away the others, and Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to hold down Xu Xun's shoulder.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"Okay, Liu Jin told me, you dare to fool me! You say, when did you recognize me yesterday? ”
Coldly, Zhu Houzhao was actually pursuing this, Xu Xun was almost choked and speechless, and immediately discerned the gist of it, the part in the carriage must be denied, and then smiled bitterly: "Your Highness forgives the sin, yesterday a micro-minister saw Li Qianhu for the second time in the Temple of Literature, and then he woke up." This Beizhen Fusi tried the case, except for the father-in-law appointed by the emperor, no one else could interfere, but His Royal Highness's words made Li Qianhu agree to go to the carriage for trial, so Weichen had the courage to guess ......"
"Forget it, I've guessed it, what dare you fight, it's really boring!" Zhu Hou waved his hand happily, and said with a bitter face, "It's easy to find an interesting identity, but it's good that you saw through it, what's so fun about it...... By the way, I called you because you had a great idea! Now I was shocked up and down, and people said acupuncture, and people said to drink medicine, what do you say? ”
In the end, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but show a little viciousness: "I hated needles and medicine the most since I was a child, I remember that my body was quite competitive, and I almost never got sick a few times. You are responsible for your ideas! ”
Xu Xun, who couldn't cry or laugh, glanced back, and saw that Liu Jin was nowhere to be seen, obviously going to look at the wind, so he turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, there are so many top doctors in this Tai Hospital, and they are all good at taking the pulse, how can you fool them by pretending to be sick?" ”
"Don't you see my face!" Zhu Houzhao smiled, and then said triumphantly, "This is the oil paint that Liu Jin got for me, saying that it doesn't fade, and I can't ask about the smell, no matter how you look at it, it's hard to tell it, and then I'll say that I have a headache, a pain and a break, and it's not a real incurable disease, how can their quacks see it, who dares to say that I, the prince who is most afraid of drinking medicine and acupuncture, is pretending to be sick?" Fortunately, Liu Jin told me that for the incurable diseases that the cause of the hospital could not figure out, there is a recipe that has been handed down for many years, and if you don't eat it well, you will never eat it badly, but I don't want to drink the bitter medicine of those quacks! ”
It's not a quack doctor, it's afraid that a bad one will cure your prince, this is the problem, right?
Xu Xun was extremely depressed at this time, secretly thinking that if he knew that such an idea could cause such a big trouble, he would never be so whimsical at that time. However, at this moment, under Zhu Houzhao's gaze, he had to think about it for a long time, and finally had an idea.
"Your Highness, how many people know about you pretending to be sick?"
"How many?" Although Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, he still supported the bed board with one hand, and pinched and calculated with the other hand like a magic stick, "The materials were obtained by Liu Jin, but he was summoned by his father before, so I can only call Gu Dayong again, oh, Zhang Yong's house has always been slippery, most of them have already guessed, otherwise they wouldn't have slipped away so quickly after bringing you in." ”
Xu Xun was afraid that there would be too many people who knew, but when he heard Zhu Houzhao calculate like this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a few more clicks in his heart, he said softly: "Then His Royal Highness the Prince, what is the matter you want to verify?" ”
"How to ......" Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly stiffened, and he snorted for a while, "The queen mother was the first to rush in, and I was pretending to be faint at that time, but she hugged me hard and cried for a while, and that strength was really used...... Ahem, I couldn't bear it, so I had to open my eyes and wake up......"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, the other stone in Xu Xun's heart finally let go. However, before he could speak with a sigh of relief, Zhu Houzhao stared at him and said with a stubborn face: "But this is not enough!" I've been listening to all the rumors for a long time, and I guess the queen mother only pretended to be because I was the only son of my father......"
The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the quieter his voice became, and in the end, he looked a little weak and disbelieving, but his stubborn expression was still the same. Xu Xun, who had a headache, had to dispel the idea of letting Zhu Houzhao recover immediately in three or two days, and after muttering for a while, he suddenly asked, "What does Your Highness like to eat the most?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Xun's jumping surname thinking made Zhu Houzhao very unaccustomed, and he was stunned for a while at the moment, and then said with some uncertainty, "Those warm meals in the imperial dining room are very unpalatable, there is nothing I like to eat, I remember that my father once took me out of the palace to eat pigeon soup, and the aftertaste is endless." It's a pity that there is no small kitchen in Chengqian Palace, otherwise I would definitely eat it every day. ”
"That's good, Your Highness, listen to me......"
Zhu Houzhao saw Xu Xun come forward, and he said a series of words in a moment. He was surprised at first, then puzzled, and finally smiled. When Xu Xun finished speaking, he even forgot that he was still a patient, and slapped Xu Xun on the shoulder twice, so that Zi Xun was so happy.
"Okay, I really didn't mistake you, you are really a Zhiduoxing with a lot of ideas, come here, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong!"
Although Zhu Houzhao didn't drink the medicine, he called a few people in, although he was anxious for outsiders, but at least it showed that the prince's current situation was not bad, and naturally no one stopped him. And when the three of them hurriedly went in and came out after a while, there was an order in front of them to ask them, but Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help it. Before the few questions of the head and face were over, another order came from the warm pavilion, saying that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who passed on the medicine, and these few words made everyone outside happy for a while.
Ordered to send the medicine in, and the nobles waited outside for a while, the Zhou Wang family could still bear the surname, but Queen Zhang couldn't help it after all, the first one stood up, and saluted her husband and the Empress Dowager with a very bad face, and then smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the concubines are really not at ease, go first and take a look." ”
Seeing that Empress Zhang went directly to that side without saying a word, the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help frowning. If you want to say that they are already granddaughters-in-law, she can't say whether she likes it or not, but she has always had a lot of complaints about the fact that the king of a country only has the main palace and no partial concubine, especially when Emperor Hongzhi only has one heir, Zhu Houzhao. It's just that she has used no less means for this over the years, and now she is too lazy to say anything, so she just looked at the emperor and sighed: "I just hope it's a false alarm." ”
Although Emperor Hongzhi died early in his biological mother and could not even be found outside the family, he was always filial to the two queen mothers. At this moment, he had no intention of answering, forced himself to smile and sat for a while, after all, he couldn't hold back the concern in his heart, stood up and said a confession and hurriedly followed him to Dongnuan Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, seeing Zhu Houzhao frowning and being fed by Xu Xun holding the medicine bowl, while Empress Zhang was standing aside and wiping her tears, he remembered the situation when his son was sick and took medicine in the past, and his brows couldn't help but stretch.
Every time Zhu Houzhao is sick, it is almost a earth-shaking trouble, but now it is rare for anyone to stop. Anyway, Xu Xun has some skills!
