Wang Pei, the secretary of Guozijian, went home a little late today. Spring is coming, but he lacks a boss. At this time, all the paperwork and materials were piled up on his case, and the Ministry of Rites called him over in three or two days to urge the progress and go through the process. In a state of exhaustion, he couldn't wait to live in the Guozi Prison.

Wang Pei's wife, Li, complained that he didn't know how to take care of his body, and at the same time served him to bathe with a herbal soup to relieve fatigue. After soaking in the bathtub for half an hour, Wang Pei's muscles and bones were soft and soft, with a pair of eyes slightly closed, and he almost fell asleep.

Just when the Lingtai was becoming more and more chaotic, he suddenly remembered that he was going to discuss the topic with his colleagues tomorrow, and there was a question bank for the alternative volume in the study. So he wiped his body clean, put on a casual middle coat, and walked to the study across the wall.

Lee followed him, complaining that he was tireless, and beware of him stepping on the empty stairs in a delirium. I saw Wang Pei staggering in, but rushed out again in the blink of an eye. He grabbed a piece of paper in his hand, his shoes ran away, and said like crazy: "Who entered my study today?"

"A thief?" When Li's heart reached his throat, he wanted to shout loudly to guard and catch thieves.

Wang Pei hurriedly took two steps to cover her mouth and said, "Silence! ”

He still held the paper in one hand, and through the dim light under the columns, Li could make out that it was an ink painting.

……

"It's done."

No matter what Agung reported, his expression was always indifferent, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Li Cong was carrying a kettle to water a plum blossom next to the warm pavilion himself, when he heard the words and looked up at him.

"What do you say, there is no beginning and no end." His hair is loosely tied today, and he is watering the flowers, giving people a lazy but luxurious bearing. But just this reproachful tone made the surroundings a little colder.

Realizing that he was reckless, Agung's face turned red and said respectfully: "This morning, Wang Pei fainted in front of the regent. It took a long time for the people in the hospital to take needles and forcibly pour several bowls of medicine to wake him up. When I woke up, I woke up, but my mouth was crooked, my eyes were slanted, I couldn't speak, and I cried on the spot and said goodbye to the regent for a month. ”

After taking a month off, I just missed the spring season.

Li Cong has not been in the early court for a long time due to illness, and the affairs of the court and the central government are passed to him by internal servants or secret guards, and he has always felt bored. Listening to Agung's description today, I felt that I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I felt a little regretful.

"It's a way to pretend to be sick." He put the kettle down and bent down to pick up the watered pebbles beside the rhizome and put them back in place.

"Yes," Agung nodded, "I didn't expect that the little Siye would be able to buy the people of the Tai Hospital." I have long heard that the people in the Tai Hospital have stood in line with the regent, and they have been running diligently to the regent's mansion every once in a while. ”

People who are obviously weak and need care live in the East Palace, but they just like to go to the people of the Regent's Mansion to cut their pulses and recuperate.

When Agung said this, his expression was quite unhappy.

Li Cong stood under the half-blooming plum tree and smiled faintly.

Qu Fang, who had been waiting beside him, said: "I'm afraid it's not the person who bought the Tai Hospital." There are more than 50 people in the hospital, he doesn't know who is on duty today, how to buy it? ”

Li Cong nodded and said, "Wang Pei's wife, Li, is a famous doctor in the Huanghuai area. Although she was a woman, she had only learned a little fur. But pretending to be sick is enough. ”

I see.

"Now that Wang Pei has taken leave, then presumably the Holy Emperor will come down in the next few days, and Zhu Xuechen will become the priest of the country, and he will be in the Ming place in the future." Li Cong said worriedly.

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will arrange for someone to protect you."

"No, you don't." Li Cong waved his hand, "As long as the people from the East Palace appear, they will attract the attention of the Regent's Palace." Li Zhang is suspicious, and he will inevitably arrange for his own people to stare at Zhu Xuechen in the name of Sasuke. ”

In any case, this time, the Regent Palace's palace has already lost half of the East Palace.

Thinking of this, Li Cong smiled slightly under the flower tree.

At this time, an attendant carefully approached Qu Fang and whispered a few words. Qu Fang nodded as usual, and seeing that Li Cong was in a good mood, he said, "Your Highness, Lord Hewei is here." ”

Li Cong still had a residual smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth twitched: "What is she here for?" ”

"I said that I came to visit Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and I gave a gift yesterday, and today I came." The affairs of the East Palace couldn't escape Qu Fang's eyes, and he should have reported this matter to the crown prince yesterday. But thinking that Lord Hewei was also a frequent visitor to the East Palace, he didn't say anything.

"Let her be." Li Cong said lightly, and as he spoke, he was about to turn around and take a break in the pavilion. At this time, the sound of footsteps not far away can be heard, and the smell of precious fragrance can be faintly smelled.

"Suwei to meet His Royal Highness the Prince-" With this coquettish greeting, the flowers beside the moon gate not far away have already knelt down. The only one standing was his newly married wife.

Su Qiang just bent her knees slightly, and wondered why Zheng Shuwei saluted so solemnly.

Zheng Shuwei came early in the morning.

Su Qiang welcomed her to the flower wall, and the two saluted according to the etiquette of the first meeting, and Zheng Shuwei's arms put on Su Qiang's sleeves, as if they were inseparable.

Su Qiang let her into the flower room, and the tea and snacks were spread on the table. While eating, Zheng Shuwei praised the craftsmanship of the chef in the East Palace, and said that the wine buried under the Xinyi tree outside the dormitory the year before last should be unsealed, and it must be very sweet.

It looks like she is the owner of the East Palace, but she only returned after traveling for a few months. And Su Qiang is the one who shows her the yard.

Su Qiang looked at it coldly in her heart, and her mouth was faintly echoed, neither angry nor funny.

Are all the nobles in the capital so jealous now? It's too unstandard, isn't it? Su Qiang suddenly remembered the two horses she had raised, one of which was always rubbing on her shoulder in order to please her, and tried to make a nice neighing sound. But she still liked the other horse, because the other horse ran faster.

But maybe the prince likes Zheng Shuwei rubbing like this.

After chatting for only half a pillar of incense, Su Qiang said: "The county lord hasn't seen the prince for too long, why don't you go over to the prince to have a look?" ”

These words were exactly what Zheng Shuwei wanted, but she shirked and said: "The prince is entangled in important matters, how can he bother casually?" ”

Su Qiang tasted the black tea, patted her hand on her arm and said, "The county lord is not an outsider. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and instructed the chamberlain to accompany Zheng Shu to the warm pavilion. How do you know that Zheng Shu pulled her over, and now she has made such a big salute just when she saw someone...... Su Qiang stroked her forehead, not knowing whether she should reach out and help Zheng Shuwei up.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Zheng Shu's slightly delicate voice ringing in his ears: "I haven't seen the prince's brother for a long time, my knees are weak, and I can't stand up." ”
