Chapter III
Zhao Zheng looked at the boy of the same age who was being treated by the doctor on the bed, his face was still pale and unconscious. His brow furrowed, and his handsome face, which gradually became resolute, made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Childe, although this child's internal injuries are serious, his life can be saved. It's just that the bags of the descendants under this crotch are completely destroyed, and there is no hope of succession. ”
After bandaging the last wound, the doctor got up and explained to Zhao Zheng.
"Isn't that any different from a eunuch?"
"Childe Mingjian, that's exactly the case, it's hard for the gods to return to the sky."
The doctor shook his head and sighed. I thought, although it is said that unfilial piety is great, but in this world, it is already a gift for the people at the bottom to be able to save their lives, so why ask for more?
"Got it, even if you prescribe medicine, the medicinal materials are not afraid of being expensive, just use it." Zhao Zheng instructed, and the doctor nodded and agreed to go out to arrange for the medicinal herbs to be boiled.
The room was quiet, and Zhao Zheng's personal attendant Liu Chang walked into him, and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Son, why are you asking for trouble." What's more, we don't know this person, this is a matter of spending money and effort, and it is still remembered by the peace marquis. The old man has always explained that the prince should keep a low profile, these princes and generals can hide as far as they can, in case they hurt the son's life, how can this be good? ”
After Liu Chang finished speaking, he looked sad and mournful. His son-in-law, others look like a harmless lamb, only he knows that the son-in-law is not the same person at all. has served him for more than four years, and the first set of tricks and the back set of tricks, the son is playing perfectly. He wondered if Childe was too smart or someone else was too stupid? Childe has never been seen through his true intentions, and even he often can't figure out what Childe's intentions are.
Although he himself is also a raccoon dog, he always feels like playing routines, compared with his son, he is always almost hot, uh... Well, quite a lot.
"Hmph, it's worth a person, don't treat people as people, it's extremely hateful, my son is not afraid of causing trouble when he saves people, not to mention that we are just contributing, the medicine money is not the money that many people are stupid Ping An Hou willingly gave it, and there is a surplus." Zhao Zheng mentioned Liang Bao, his eyes were full of contempt.
For as long as he can remember, he has been humiliated. He is the eldest son of the monarch of Qin, but he was born in Zhao, and when his father fled from Zhao and returned to Qin to succeed to the throne, he promised his mother that he would send someone to pick up their mother and son when they settled down. Now, ten years have passed, and the initial promise has become that he will take the position of the proton of the Qin State to show the apology for the alien who fled the Zhao State in the first place.
When he was five years old, his mother had always had a personal relationship with Queen Liang Wan. coincided with the beginning of Liang Wan and Zhao Danqing, who was still the prince at the time. There are many more opportunities to get in touch with the nobles of the royal palace.
One of them was a month after Liang Wan first became the crown princess, she wanted to invite all the noble ladies and ladies to get together. Although her mother was not enough to participate, she was still sent by the crown princess to participate.
followed his mother to the prince's mansion, the ladies and ladies gathered together to eat, drink and chat, and the little sons and ladies who were brought by the ladies were naturally running around in a string. Xiao Zhao Zheng usually stays at home with his mother and rarely goes out. What's more, because he and his mother are hostages, they can't move around at will without permission.
This is the first time I have played with so many peers, and I am immediately happy. At the beginning, no one cared too much about who he was, and they all thought that everyone was the daughter of a rich or noble son.
However, Xiao Zhao Zheng was afraid that he was too carried away, and accidentally knocked a little friend to the ground in a game and broke his scalp. It's not serious, but after all, it's a child who is a few years old, and he was pampered and raised, so he naturally cried when it hurt. The adults were startled by the crying. Isn't it a child fighting? All hurried to the children.
"Oh, Wang'er, how did you get this!"
A richly dressed woman ran to the crying child, crouched down and hugged the child. She looked up and down. The child's forehead was a little red, and her heart, liver and lungs hurt when she saw it. Then the anger was together: "What the hell is going on?" She looked at the maidservant beside her.
"Lady forgive your sins, slave ......"
The little maid was also confused, blaming herself for patronizing and chatting with other maidservants, and she didn't look at her little master for a while, and she turned her head and had an accident, and she didn't know what to say now.
"He hit it." A seven or eight-year-old boy pointed to Xiao Zhao Zheng and said to everyone.
"Yes, it's him." The other children echoed in unison.
Zhao Ji beat the drum in her heart, she carefully hid and endured for so many years, only hoping that her son Zhao Zheng could grow up safely, and one day he could return to Qin to enjoy the glory and wealth, and even inherit the throne of Qin. I don't want to cause such a disaster today, none of the young ladies here are people that their mother and son can provoke. But it was the son of Zhao Guo's prime minister Guo Kaijia who was injured.
Mrs. Guo has not given birth for many years, thinking that she is destined to have no children under her knees, and she doesn't want to suddenly get pregnant in her thirties. This seedling has become the top treasure of Prime Minister Guo and his wife.
"Mrs. Haihan, the child is reckless, and accidentally injured the son, it is my improper upbringing, please ask Mrs. to condemn the crime. Please also ask Madame to spare my recklessness. ”
Zhao Ji pulled over the dazed little Zhao Zheng and knelt down in front of Mrs. Guo, pressing her son and kowtowing together. The adults had different faces, all waiting to see the show, and the children returned to their mothers.
"It's you." Mrs. Guo looked disdainful, and slapped Zhao Ji in the face with a snap: "What kind of place are you here, and you deserve to participate?" Don't be ashamed to take your wild seed with you. ”
Mrs. Guo was angry that her child was injured, and she saw that she was not an object that she needed to care about, so she couldn't bear to speak.
"Madame said cautiously, Zheng'er is not a wild species, he is the eldest son of King Qin."
Zhao Ji can tolerate any slander, but she can't hear others say that her son is a wild seed. Covering his beaten cheeks, he didn't want to endure a rebuttal.
"The daughter of a lowly merchant of yours really thinks that she has climbed up to some kind of prince, but she is just a worthless prince who was thrown from the Qin State to the Zhao State. finally escaped back and became the king, and so far I haven't seen him deliberately want to take back the so-called eldest son, isn't it another abandoned and unpopular, dispensable worthless thing, or is this bastard not a son at all, it is simply your old friend Lu Buwei's species? ”
Mrs. Guo had no scruples about what to say, anyway, there were few people in Jinyang City who didn't know about Zhao Ji. It's just a concubine raised by Lu Buwei, who was also a lowly businessman, and later gave her to another person as a wife. Although she has married a stranger, it is an indisputable fact that she was Lu Buwei's concubine.
"Madame......"
"Gee, what's going on?"
Zhao Ji wanted to say something, but when she heard the voice, everyone looked back at the person who asked the question, and it turned out to be the graceful and beautiful crown princess. Earlier, he said that he had something to leave, but it was estimated that someone rushed to report what happened here, and turned back. I don't know if the crown princess heard Mrs. Guo's words just now, everyone knows that the crown princess and Zhao Ji have a deep friendship in private. Mrs. Guo should be a little more restrained if she doesn't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, and she wants to know that Zhao Ji must have been invited by the crown princess. It's not like slapping the princess in the face.
"See the Crown Princess." Everyone saluted Liang Wan together.
"No courtesy."
Liang Wan smiled decently and walked towards Mrs. Guo. First looked at Guo Xiaogongzi's forehead, which was already a little red and swollen, turned his head and instructed the next person: "Hurry up and let the imperial doctor come over to show Xiao Gongzi, Prime Minister Guo is an indispensable pillar of the Zhao Kingdom, can you not let Guo Xiaogongzi have any trouble in the Prince's Mansion, otherwise, wouldn't I have committed an unforgivable sin?" ”
"The crown princess is serious, although it is injured, it is not so serious." Mrs. Guo was not embarrassed when she held the child.
"It's not serious, it's all red and swollen, I feel distressed when I look at it, but I think about Mrs. Guo's mood." said, turned around and helped Zhao Ji's mother and son up: "Sister get up first, it's heart-wrenching for these children to play and bump and bump, but this apology is also said, and the beating is also endured, Mrs. Guo feels sorry for the child again, and there is still a measure of moderation, otherwise how to do the wife of the prime minister of this country?" ”
Liang Wan smiled softly and looked at Mrs. Guo again: "What does Madam think?" "She is decent and fair between the lines, and no one can ignore her.
"What the crown princess said is extremely true, just now the courtiers were also overly frightened, and the reaction was a little intense, and I hope that Mrs. Zhao Ji will not rest assured."
Mrs. Guo didn't understand the princess's words openly and secretly, I was afraid that the princess would see it from beginning to end. They are all smart people, and if you give the steps, you will be interested.
"In that case, even if everyone reconciles, what does my sister think?" Liang Wan chuckled and looked at Zhao Ji.
"I can get Mrs. Guo's understanding, Zhao Ji is grateful, how can she worry about Mrs. Guo."
Zhao Ji bowed her head slightly, her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, only she knew that Mrs. Guo's mocking question just now had turned into a sharp sword and went straight into her heart. However, she can't do anything except forbearance, for the sake of Zheng'er, she has endured countless humiliations over the years, why are you afraid of one more time?
"Then I have to thank my wife and sister for their generosity, otherwise, today I am really kind to do bad things, and a good banquet will become a farce in the market, wouldn't this make all the ladies and ladies see me laughing, hehehe......" Liang Wan covered her mouth and laughed spontaneously.
Although everyone didn't know what to say, they all understood that the crown princess was implying that Mrs. Guo was unreasonable, like a small person in the market. Since the crown princess has brought things over so quietly, the ladies and ladies have cooperated to restore their relaxed and happy smiles.
At this time, the imperial doctor had already checked Guo Xiaogongzi's injuries and said that it was fine, and he didn't even need to apply medicine, just wet the handkerchief with cold water and apply it a few times.
After listening to the imperial doctor's explanation, Liang Wan beckoned to Xiao Zhao Zheng and asked him to come forward. Liang Wan is one of the few noble adults that Xiao Zhao Zheng is familiar with. Before marrying the crown prince, she often went to chat with Zhao Ji, and naturally she was more familiar with Xiao Zhao Zheng.
After getting his mother's approval, he walked over silently: "Auntie." ”
The glutinous voice came into everyone's ears, making people listen to it softly and heartily. Identity aside, this child was born really pink and beautiful. The clothes are the worst among the children, but for some reason, the temperament is not worse than those sons and daughters, and even much more expensive than them. It's just that everyone doesn't want to admit it, and the subconscious hypnotizes themselves: it's just a proton, and it's okay to look good.
"Zheng'er, the prince said that your father sent a letter of state from Qin, and he intends to let other sons stay in Zhao State instead of you and take you back to Qin, although it is still to be discussed, but Zheng'er should be able to return to your father soon, you know?"
Xiao Zhao Zheng nodded his little head, and his eyes were smashed, and they were not transparent. Whether he understands or doesn't understand is not Liang Wan's purpose, but to make it clear in front of everyone, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog.
In his later growth, he finally understood what a proton was and how ridiculous his situation in Zhao was. The humiliation and tears that their mother and son endured turned into an infinite force to support his not-so-strong body and mind. He didn't miss the father who gave birth to him and abandoned him in the Qin State, but one day they could meet, he didn't plan to ask for any ridiculous family affection, he just wanted his throne......
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, a muffled grunt came from the bed, interrupting his thoughts. He approached the bed and observed the man who seemed to be about to wake up, but the injured boy opened his eyes slightly and fell asleep again. Probably woke up in pain, and was too injured to support it.
"You don't have to follow me these days, take care of him here, and wait until he gets better." Zhao Zheng instructed Liu Chang with a serious face: "I'll go find the master myself tonight." ”
Without waiting for Liu Chang to say anything, he had already walked out of the door in a dashing manner, leaving him with a drooping mouth and helpless looking at Zhao Zheng's disappearing handsome body.
