"Queen Mother......" the prince called faintly. Empress Lu stroked her son's face, and then she smiled with relief and covered him with a quilt, "Prince, it's okay, the queen mother is here." ”

The prince closed his eyes slightly and nodded, and suddenly opened his eyes sharply and asked Empress Lu how Dai Qing was. Empress Lu said that she came to the prince's palace in a hurry, and she had not yet gone to see Dai Qing, and the palace people who took care of Dai Qing did not come to report the situation, so it must be no big problem, and she may still be being treated, saying that she would go over to see Dai Qing in a while. Regarding the incident of the prince and Dai Qing falling into the water, Empress Lu felt very strange and asked him what happened, why did they both fall into the nullah? The prince sneezed, and it was still a little cold, and An Delu instructed the palace people to quickly add a quilt.

Liu Ying recalled that when she went to see Dai Qing, she saw Dai Qing fall into the nullah before she finished speaking, and she clearly saw that Dai Qing did it on purpose, but why did she deliberately fall into the nullah, and she jumped on time, as if she knew that she would save her, until now, the prince didn't understand why she did it. The corners of Liu Ying's mouth moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. Empress Lu didn't want to pursue it, she knew that Dai Qing liked the prince, and Dai Qing quietly asked the prince or the prince quietly looked for Dai Qing, these little things must be common, as for why she saw the water going down, Empress Lu felt that Dai Qing was making a fortune to the prince at that time, and accidentally fell, so the prince went to save her.

On the contrary, Liu Bang sat on the side with a black face, blew his beard and glared, and said to Liu Ying in a slightly reproachful tone, "Next time you do this, think about your mother in advance, and jump forward without considering the consequences, everyone will follow you and be afraid, so big and worrying, this time it's good that Du Gong people saved you." The prince has always been afraid of his father, his father blamed himself like this, Liu Ying did not resist and complain, it was indeed what he did wrong, gritted his teeth and nodded in fear, "My son is wrong." ”

Empress Lu thought that Liu Bang blamed the prince too much, and he had some trouble with the emperor in the past few days, and the two of them hurriedly put down what they were in front of them and rushed to the prince's palace after hearing that the prince had fallen into the water, but they were a little inconsistent. At present, the crown prince has not yet passed the difficulty, Liu Bang is not comforted but blamed, which makes Empress Lu somewhat unhappy, and after listening to what Liu Bang said, he turned around and ignored the emperor's words. Xu is Liu Bang noticed Empress Lu's movements, and also felt that his words were too heavy, so he subconsciously pursed the corners of his mouth, and looked at his son, who was lying quietly, with a look of guilt and slight fear on his son's face. Liu Bang said a little tactfully, "Father's words are too heavy, and they are also for your good." You are already weak, now in the winter into the water, the cold into the body, even weaker, it seems that you have to cultivate for many days, you must not leave sequelae, you are the prince of the Han Dynasty is the building of the country, the heavy responsibility of the society needs you to carry, take care of it. ”

The prince nodded sincerely. Empress Lu also felt a little comforted when she heard this. While speaking, a palace person came in outside, saying that Dai Qing in the next hall also woke up, and Empress Lu nodded with a 'um', saying that the palace people would take care of it first, and then go to see Dai Qing. The prince stiffened his body and looked out of the hall, and repeatedly told the palace people to take care of Dai Qing, she is a girl, her body is not stronger than a man, she is a man and can't stand the cold air, let alone the thin Dai Qing? Liu Bang saw it in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said that this child treats others with affection and righteousness, like himself? Liu Bang shook his head and pursed his lips and smiled.

While speaking, another eunuch outside the palace came in to report to the emperor, saying that there was a minister in the front hall to ask to see, Liu Bang first asked the eunuch to open the way and said that he would arrive immediately, and instructed the eunuchs and palace people of the prince's palace to take care of the prince, and asked the imperial doctor Qin to come to the prince's palace to take care of it every day. There was nothing important to do, so he got up and walked out of the hall, just stepped out of one foot, I didn't know what to think of and retreated, and looked at the queen who was still sitting next to the prince's couch, she was brushing the prince's hair in front of his forehead, but she didn't look at Liu Bang. Liu Bang knew that she still had some slight resentment and smiled, just turned around but saw Lu Hou then moved his eyes to himself, her indifferent and calm face made Liu Bang's heart a small wave, as if the queen and herself were familiar in an instant, and in an instant they became unfamiliar, at this time Lu Hou was not strong, only as soft as water. Liu Bang and Empress Lu just nodded to each other indifferently. Liu Bang said to everyone, "The cuckoo worships as the deacon and female official of the prince's palace, and the price is compared to two thousand stones." Then he hinted to the prince, "Don't go there, I will arrange another person so that I can give birth to my body." ”

"Your Majesty will be happy for thousands of years." The cuckoo, who had been promoted to a female deacon officer for the first time, knelt down gratefully to accept the will.

After that, Liu Bang hurried to the front hall.

Empress Lu felt inexplicably surprised by Liu Bang's words, and asked the crown prince what the emperor meant by this. Liu Ying smiled stiffly, and did not tell Empress Lu the truth, Empress Lu did not know the emperor's plan from beginning to end, the prince did not say, and he did not know what the emperor said. So she didn't ask so much, and now her son's well-being is what she wants to see the most. The people of the small palace brought hot ginger soup, and Empress Lu took it from herself and fed it to her son on the couch to drink, An Delu helped the prince up, and got him a cushion behind him, but the prince's face was still a little pale and his lips were dry. Except for when he was a child, Empress Lu fed his son medicine and soup, and never fed him in person like this, this time he fed him spoonful by spoonful, and Empress Lu recalled many sad or happy pasts, and he pulled his two children into adulthood in this way.

"Queen Mother, I heard that a pregnant palace man died in Beiyuan." The prince asked.

Empress Lu's face immediately darkened, and he stopped holding the decoction in an instant, looked at the prince in a daze for a while, and after a short pause, he continued to feed him Jiang Tang with a calm face, "The harem is not known to you, and the most important thing is to take care of your body." Empress Lu deliberately avoided the topic, and didn't want her son to pay too much attention to the harem battle. The prince was silent, knowing that his mother would not say anything.

While talking, a eunuch came in to report that Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi were waiting outside and wanted to visit the prince. The crown prince and Empress Lu glanced at each other, and Empress Lu handed the ginger soup bowl to the palace people, and after a little thought, she prepared to call Qi Ji in. Liu Ying didn't want to see Qi Ji, so she hurriedly said that she wanted to sleep and asked Mrs. Qi to go back first. It's not that Liu Ying doesn't want to see Qi Ji, but she can't see Jing Tian now, Jing Tian will definitely come in behind Qi Ji, she has never told Jing Tian that she is the prince, so her identity will be exposed to her. However, Empress Lu didn't know, she really thought that the prince hated Qi Ji, but Empress Lu spoke for Qi Ji here, and said that since Qi Ji wanted to come and see, there was no good reason to stop her outside for the time being, and if she didn't want to see her, she had to endure seeing her for a while, after all, she was a concubine, and it was already a courtesy affair to come to see the prince, and it was not good to send it away. The prince had no choice but to agree to meet him, but Fang Zai was so anxious that he had already heard Ruyi's crisp and crisp voice like a bell, "Brother Prince." ”

The prince quickly removed the cushions and lay down, turned his face inward, and pretended to be asleep. Lu didn't have time to reason with him, Qi Ji had already come in with Ruyi, and then followed Jing Tian. Seeing that the queen happened to be here, Qi Ji first gave a plain salute to the queen, and after doing the plain salute impatiently, she suddenly went to the prince's couch and broke the prince's face to see him, "Brother prince, what's wrong with you?" I'm Ruyi. Ruyi was noisy and messing around in front of the prince's head, but Liu Ying just ignored him. Empress Lu saw that the prince really didn't want to see Qi Ji, so she had to play a round for Liu Ying, pulled Ruyi to her side and said, "Ruyi, my brother is sick, don't trouble him, sit here." Lu Hou hugged Ruyi to his lap. Ruyi sat quietly on Lu Hou's legs, his eyes were black and he probed around the prince's palace, and finally fixed his eyes on Liu Ying, the fat little finger pointed at Liu Ying, and muttered, "Brother-". Qi Ji saw Ruyi sitting on Lu Hou's legs without knowing anything, and was afraid that Lu Hou would pinch Ruyi's body, so he blamed Ruyi for not knowing how to be polite, and asked Ruyi to quickly get down from Lu Hou's legs. Empress Lu said that Ruyi was still young and should be playful and lively, and Qi Ji saw that Empress Lu was in a calm mood, so she also relaxed her heart.

Jing Tian had never seen the true face of the prince, thinking that he could see the true face today, but he didn't think that the prince could not see his face on the side of his body, Jing Tian stretched his neck and looked at it, and he was quite disappointed when he couldn't see it, and he didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the queen and Qi Ji. The prince, who pretended to be asleep, listened to the chatter between the queen and Qi Ji, and he could also think of Jing Tian looking at himself vigorously, and he was not awkward in his heart, and he wanted them to leave the prince's palace quickly for a while, and it was really uncomfortable to hold back. Qi Ji said that she heard that the prince fell ill in order to save Dai Qing from falling into the water, and even said that the prince was deeply friendly and had been invaded by the cold, so he had to take care of his body. Empress Lu thanked Mrs. Qi with a smile, and said that she would take good care of Ruyi in the future, and don't learn from the prince's will, Mrs. Qi and Empress Lu both laughed. Liu Ying was a little puzzled, usually the queen mother hates Mrs. Qi the most, but today they talked happily like two real sisters, Liu Ying said to herself that she really didn't know what was going on with a woman.

After staying in the prince's palace for a while, Qi Ji said goodbye and went back. Empress Lu also went to the side hall to see Dai Qing, Dai Qing was rescued by the palace people, and in his cultivation, he was weaker than the prince, and he said that he had a headache, and he was afraid that it was caused by the cold. Empress Lu asked her to stay in the palace of the prince for the time being, and then return to Changxin Palace to do things when she is better, and Dai Qing is grateful to Empress Lu for what she did.
