Chapter 241: Prison State
"Zitong, I almost won't see you." Zhu Wensheng took the queen's hand and smiled stupidly.
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" The queen was tired but forced to smile.
"You go down first, I want to talk to your queen mother!" The emperor looked at the crown prince standing below and said.
Prince: "Yes, the retainer is retiring." ”
After the crown prince left, the emperor continued: "Wanrong, you call me a San Lang!" ”
Chen Wanrong: "San Lang." ”
"Eh, when I was in a coma, I seemed to have been dreaming, dreaming that when we were young, you played the piano, I danced the sword, you read, and I wrote poetry. Later, I dreamed that the two of us were running around, and you followed me to eat chaff vegetables, and when the dream turned again, you followed me everywhere to fight, and I was injured in the battle outside, and you bandaged me again and again, and took care of me. We don't seem to have been separated in those years, cough cough cough~"
Chen Wanrong wanted to call the imperial doctor, but was stopped by the emperor.
"It's all right, graceful. Hey~ I later dreamed that after we got things done, a family of three moved to the palace and lived a life of glory and wealth, above ten thousand people, and then there was the second and third children, and then I couldn't see you, and we saw each other less and less. You are always considerate of my busy court, sending people to deliver soup at night, and sending clothes when the weather is cold, even if you come by yourself, you don't bother much. As the king of a country, I had to expand the harem to stabilize the court, and you have always helped me take care of the harem without regrets. I'm indebted to you~"
Chen Wanrong unconsciously shed tears, and Zhu Wensheng was a little anxious to raise his hand to help his wife wipe her tears: "Wanrong, it's mine, don't cry." ”
Chen Wanrong turned her face away, wiped her tears, and said, "San Lang, after so many years, what's the point of saying this." I'm not as generous as you say, how many nights have I cried because you recruited a newcomer, and I have scolded you in my heart, but what can I do, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us in this position. Since you have chosen this path, you can only help yourself, hey~"
As he spoke, tears flowed down unconsciously, and Zhu Wensheng gently patted the back of Chen Wanrong's hand.
"I'm going to abdicate, and it's time for Ming'er to take care of this mess. After that, I will have a lot of time with you, and we will go on a tour of the mountains and rivers to see what the foundation we have created looks like now. ”
Chen Wanrong: "Your Majesty, you ......"
Zhu Wensheng: "Well, don't worry, Ming'er is already the father of two children, and I have always been in love with him before, our son's ability is still obvious to all, and the prince of a country will not let us down." ”
Chen Wanrong nodded, happy in her heart, not because her son was about to ascend the throne, but because her husband was finally able to let go of the unwillingness in her heart and grow old with her.
When the husband and wife first ascended the throne, they agreed that they must travel around in the future to see the country and mountains that they have worked hard for. It's just that God doesn't fulfill his wish, and it's difficult to do it in the emperor's house.
Chen Wanrong actually understands that with the emperor's current physical condition, he can't go out at all, and can only recuperate, so the words Zhu Wensheng said may be to comfort Chen Wanrong, but Chen Wanrong was indeed relieved.
"Your Majesty, after talking for so long, lie down and rest for a while." Chen Wanrong looked at the dense beads of sweat on the emperor's forehead, and felt a little worried.
Zhu Wensheng didn't recklessly do it anymore, and was helped by Wanrong to lie down, and the queen announced the imperial doctor to take the emperor's pulse.
The imperial doctor gave the emperor a few injections, and after a while, he heard the emperor's slightly rapid breathing. After the imperial doctor finished pricking the needle, the queen asked the imperial doctor to go out for questioning.
"Imperial Doctor Hu, how is the emperor's health?"
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor's body is still an old disease, and the fainting caused by the sudden cold caused by overwork over the years. The emperor's dragon body is in great deficit, and now he can only recuperate. ”
It's still the same as before, Chen Wanrong nodded, hoping that this time the emperor can really recuperate with peace of mind.
The queen sat dumbfounded, thinking about the past, when a chamberlain came in and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang has brought soup to Your Majesty." ”
"Your Majesty is already asleep, take the soup, let Concubine Shu go back first, and then any concubines come to visit Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can have a good rest."
"Yes, sissy."
Five days later, the emperor went to court, and this time the court issued a decree on the crown prince's imprisonment. Originally, the emperor had already written an edict of abdication, but the prince took the initiative to find the emperor and wanted to postpone it for a while.
Because of the conversation with his father that day, the prince realized that he did not know the true face of the people today, so he thought of taking advantage of this time to go to Weifu for a private visit to understand the situation.
Of course, the private visit of Weifu is actually a big project for the emperor, and the prince cannot just find it and leave the palace in one day. Moreover, the emperor's body is not yet able to support the affairs of the court, so the prince who needs to continue to supervise the country in front of the prince for a period of time. Although he is still the crown prince, this time the emperor has completely delegated power.
On Huaiyuan Street, Zhou Hanwen rushed to Li's house as soon as he got up.
"Brother Akihito, I have good news for you!" Zhou Hanwen smiled, and pulled Li Mingren to walk to the study.
Li Mingren: "Sheng'er, go and bring some fruit plates, then a pot of tea, and a plate of shortbread." ”
Zhou Hanwen: "Cut a plate of your sauce board duck." ”
"Brother Hanwen, what's the good news?"
Zhou Hanwen didn't sell Guan Zi either: "Your Majesty has gone to court today." ”
Li Mingren: "That's really good news, how does Your Majesty look now?" ”
Zhou Hanwen shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "In the court, the imperial doctor is on the side. ”
"This ......"
Zhou Hanwen continued: "From today onwards, the crown prince will be in charge of the country, and His Majesty will recuperate. You know what that means! ”
Li Mingren nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
At this time, Ye Sheng brought the food, and Zhou Hanwen couldn't wait to eat.
"I've been thinking about this for a long time."
Li Mingren smiled: "Let your younger brother and sister pretend to be some for you later." ”
"Hahahaha, this brother and sister are really capable, I heard that a restaurant is about to open?"
"Well, she has always loved to take care of these, and everything in the house is thanks to the lady." When Li Mingren said this, he had a look of reverence on his face, without the slightest disdain.
The two were talking and laughing, and Li Mingyi came in.
"Big brother, sister-in-law asked if you want to eat pickled pepper chicken feet?" Li Mingyi saluted Zhou Hanwen.
Li Mingren nodded, "Well, Ye Sheng go!" Mingyi, this is Zhou Hanlin," he turned his head and looked at Zhou Hanwen and introduced: "This is my second brother, Li Mingyi." ”
Zhou Hanwen bowed: "Haha, your three brothers look quite alike." ”
Li Mingren smiled, thinking that this is a real brother, can it not be like it!
A month later, the restaurant was completely suspended, and Li Mingyi was making the final arrangements, waiting for the auspicious day to open.
The chefs of the restaurant are the three mothers-in-law who bought before, and after this period of training, the three cooks have been able to master the essence of hot pot soup, while the rest of the handymen are hired long-term workers.
However, Li Mingyi did not expect that the shopkeeper candidate was auspicious. During this period of getting along, Zhao Yunlan also found that Jixiang is not only sweet-mouthed, but also looks at people's eyes. Therefore, Zhao Yunlan felt that cultivating this person would also be a good seedling.
This moved auspicious with a handful of snot and tears, begging Zhao Yunlan to give herself the surname Zhao, and from then on she was the saddle of the horse. Li Mingren couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, thinking that this person was still only looking at himself, looking at the auspiciousness in front of him, he couldn't help but quip: "You change a master for a while, it seems that your loyalty is floating on the surface, is it that next time someone treats you better, you will go to another house again." ”
Ji Xiang was so frightened by these words that he kowtowed again and again: "Master, I am loyal, and heaven and earth can learn from it." I will never do anything to be sorry for the Li family, and I will never do anything to be sorry for my wife. ”
"Well, now that I've learned a few words, it's pretty good." Li Mingren smiled.
Jixiang kowtowed again, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help it: "Come on, don't tease him, if he really dares to do something against the rules, you can do it yourself when the time comes." ”
Li Mingren: "Well, okay, hurry up, now your name is Zhao Jixiang." In the future, everyone will call you Shopkeeper Zhao. ”
Ji Xiangle was reluctant to get up: "Mrs. Xie, Master Xie." ”
A few days later, Zhou Hanwen came to Li's house again.
"To make a long story short, the emperor has returned to the court, and the prince has gone on patrol."
Li Mingren was a little surprised: "Huh? ”
Zhou Hanwen patted Li Mingren on the shoulder: "I didn't ask you to find the trace of the prince, this is a big taboo, we don't know when the prince left, and we don't know where he went." I just want to say that good things are grinding, you should be patient. Load me some more chicken feet and go back~"
The corners of Li Mingren's mouth twitched, this last sentence is the point!
