Chapter 41: Sight Restored

It's been three days, and it's a nice sunny day.

Not long after the palace gate opened in the morning, Li Jinzhi arrived, and did not go directly to Cining Palace, but waited outside the Zhaoyang Palace.

When the ministers of the early dynasty left, they all saw the prince of Shu standing on the side of the road.

A young man dressed in white, thin and elegant, stood with his hands down, with just the right gentle smile on his face.

Some old ministers, when they saw Li Jinzhi, suddenly remembered the first emperor.

Both in appearance and demeanor, they are too similar.

Of course, they also thought of the crazy Taoist priest's rebellious words back then.

It is a miracle that this son of the world can still stand here safe and sound today.

Naturally, thinking of this, people also remembered the goddess doctor who still stayed in Cining Palace.

The emperor's eldest grandson also survived because of this goddess doctor, and it is said that today, the Empress Dowager Jing'an, who has been blind for almost ten years, is about to see the light again.

What kind of good luck is the prince of Shu to have such a powerful helper by his side?

Yan Ge was the last to come out, and he was followed by several subordinates.

Seeing Li Jinzhi, those subordinates all left in a hurry.

The entanglement between the Yan Qiao family and the goddess doctor in the Shu Palace, inside and outside the court, who doesn't know?

Seeing Li Jinzhi, Yan Ge Lao's face froze for a moment, then he smiled again and said to Li Jinzhi politely:

"I haven't seen you for many years, I wonder if the prince is in good health now?"

Li Jinzhi thanked with a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, my father is all right."

The autumn sun was just right, Yan Ge Lao and Li Jinzhi's smiles were flawless, and the two of them talked to each other for a while, like a year-old friend who had been reunited after a long absence, cordial and natural.

An Jiang came out and saw this scene, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

This young prince is really not an ordinary person.

With this calm and calm ability, many old ministers who have been in the court for most of their lives may not be able to do it.

It is no wonder that after hearing the warlock's judgment on the numerology of this prince, His Majesty would not be able to sleep for several days.

I don't want him to live, but I have to keep him alive.

As an emperor, there are many times when you have to do so.

Emperor Mingde was having breakfast, and Li Jinzhi smiled and said that he had used it in the mansion, so he sat quietly and waited.

The waiter came in with a bowl of milk custard, and Emperor Mingde signaled Li Jinzhi to take it, and said to him:

"I remember when you lived here when you were a kid, you had to drink this custard every day."

Li Jinzhi got up and thanked Emperor Mingde, but after only eating two spoonfuls, the person vomited violently.

An Jiang hurriedly brought someone over to wait for the cleanup.

After Li Jinzhi cleaned his hands and calmed down, Emperor Mingde frowned and asked:

"What's going on?"

Li Jinzhi knelt down, leaned over at Emperor Mingde's feet and whispered:

"Jin Zhi was rude in front of the emperor, and asked the emperor's uncle to surrender.

In the past few years, my nephew's body has deteriorated day by day, and many of the things he used to love to eat have not been restrained. ”

Emperor Mingde didn't speak, and the attendants waited for him to rinse his mouth and clean his hands before he called Li Jinzhi to get up and said:

"You have also grown up, and you are your father's eldest son, you must pay more attention to your body in the future, what you can eat and what you can't eat, and you must have a number in your heart."

Li Jinzhi immediately agreed, and took the jade ring in An Jiang's hand to put it on for Emperor Mingde.

went to Cining Palace together, walking and walking, Emperor Mingde didn't look at Li Jinzhi, and suddenly said for no reason:

"I see Yang clearly, it seems that I like the girl named Mei Xue."

Li Jinzhi was obviously taken aback, and knelt down in a panic and said to Emperor Mingde:

"Uncle Huang, Jinzhi also likes Miss Mei, and begs Uncle Huang to favor his nephew in this matter."

Li Jinzhi kowtowed to Emperor Mingde twice as he spoke, then raised his face and looked at him and said:

"Lord Shen is the pillar of the country, Jin Zhi should not compete with him, but Miss Mei is the love of her nephew, her nephew is not in good health and has no ambitions, as long as she can have Miss Mei by her side, she will have nothing to ask for for the rest of her life."

As he and Mr. Song expected, Emperor Mingde couldn't help but test him.

Li Jinzhi's panic and helplessness made Emperor Mingde very satisfied, but he still looked cold, and it took a long time before he snorted and said:

"For a woman, what is it like to be so out of shape?

But you are very similar to your eldest brother, he was messing around with the queen for a long time for the sake of the crown princess. ”

Li Jinzhi kowtowed to Emperor Mingde again and said:

"How can a nephew be compared to the emperor's eldest brother? No matter what time it is, the nephew is just a minister, and the nephew will remember his duty and always be loyal to the emperor's uncle and brother. ”

Emperor Mingde was silent for a long time before he said:

"I believe in your words, at least in the matter of the emperor's eldest grandson, Mei Xue can be so dedicated, it must be you who have confessed, get up!"

As he spoke, Emperor Mingde stretched out his hand to help Li Jinzhi.

But until he walked to the gate of Cining Palace, Emperor Mingde didn't mention Mei Xue and Shen Qingyang again, and only glanced at Li Jin when he was about to enter the palace gate and said:

"You are a man of the Li family, if you can't compete with an outsider, you are losing my face."

He was very willing to watch Li Jinzhi and Shen Qingyang fight.

Nothing harmful.

Li Jinzhi responded:

"Yes, nephew remembers, thank you Uncle Huang."

Although Mr. Song had advised him to take a long-term view, he refused without hesitation.

In the matter of Mei Xue, he could not and was not willing to take the slightest risk.

He knows Emperor Mingde, the most good-face and reputation person, as long as his interests are not threatened, he will not deliberately get along with anyone.

What's more, isn't it in the interests of Emperor Mingde that he and Shen Qingyang are fighting?

Shen Qingyang waited under the corridor, saluted when he saw Emperor Mingde, and he just nodded lightly to Li Jinzhi's greeting, and didn't even say a word.

Empress Shen and Li Jinyu were already waiting in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, and when they saw Emperor Mingde, they all got up and saluted, and Mei Xue also followed them to salute.

Emperor Mingde walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, greeted the Empress Dowager Jing'an a few words, and waved his hand to signal Mei Xue to step forward.

Mei Xue cleaned her hands and slowly untied the white cloth scarf that covered the eyes of the Empress Dowager Jing'an.

Everyone held their breath, only Mei Xue whispered:

"Queen Mother, you can open your eyes, please relax, don't be nervous."

The Empress Dowager Jing'an slowly opened her eyes, and her originally blank eyes were stunned for a moment, then she accurately held Emperor Mingde's hand and choked up:

"Emperor, how come you have so many gray hairs? The state affairs are busy, you have to take care of your body! ”

One sentence made Emperor Mingde's eyes red.

He held the hand of the Empress Dowager Jing'an tightly, looked at Mei Xue with his eyes, but the words were ordered to An Jiang:

"An Jiang, you go and spread my will.

first saved the crown princess and the emperor's eldest grandson in danger, and then helped the queen mother to regain her sight. ”

After a pause, Emperor Mingde continued:

"In the future, you can enter and leave the inner palace at any time, and you don't need to ask for instructions in advance."

This is a right that even Li Jinzhi and his princes do not have.

Mei Xue was stunned, she didn't know how to react for a while, she didn't expect Emperor Mingde's reward to be so heavy.

The five-grade imperial doctor is already at the same level as the envoy of the Guo Academy, and she doesn't care about this.

But being able to enter and leave the harem at any time will make many things more convenient for her in the future.

For example, the body of the eldest grandson of the emperor and the crown princess Yang Shumin, who she and Li Jinzhi are concerned about.

Empress Shen was obviously taken aback, but immediately smiled and said to Mei Xue:

"Silly boy, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and thank you? ”

Mei Xue knelt down to thank her, and Li Jinzhi naturally knelt down next to her and kowtowed to Emperor Mingde together.

Emperor Mingde glanced at Shen Qingyang, who was still motionless with a cold face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an spoke to Empress Shen, Li Jinyu, and Li Jinzhi in turn, and when it was Mei Xue's turn, she instructed:

"Good boy, you've worked hard these days, you go back and have a good rest, and you will often come to the palace to talk to the mourning family in the future.

Mei Xue should go down and say goodbye to the Empress Dowager Jing'an and leave the palace with Li Jinzhi.

At the gate of Cining Palace, I met An Jiang who turned back, and saw him smiling with a courteous face, saluting and saying:

"Shizi, Miss Mei, the old slave has passed on His Majesty's will, just these two days, the Ministry of Rites will make Miss Mei's official uniform, and then the old slave will personally send it to the house."

Mei Xue thanked An Jiang, and Li Jinzhi also smiled and said:

"There is a labor eunuch, I heard that the eunuch has a lot of research on tea, I happened to bring a few from Shu, and I will ask the public to taste it at that time."

An Jiang squinted with a smile, and sent Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi all the way to the gate of the palace.

Watching Mei Xue and Li Jinzhi board the carriage of the Shu Mansion and leave, An Jiang shook off the Buddha dust in his hand and walked back, and sighed to the little apprentice who was following him:

"There will be a big show to watch in a few days, you guys wait slowly!"

"Master, what you're talking about is the Qiao family's request for Miss Mei's blood test, right? Now this matter is spread everywhere in the capital, and it is said that there are still gambling houses betting on it. ”

The little waiter looked excited, and An Jiang knocked his head with the dust in his hand and said:

"Don't wait to see the excitement, be careful to serve the masters, don't wait for the crime to cry."
