In the following time, Li Qing did not pay too much attention to the development of Jinyiwei, and he put all his energy on the treatment of Queen Ma.

Acupuncture, playing the piano, prescribing medicine......

In a flash, a month passed.

During this period, he tried his best, and the effect was also very significant, and Queen Ma's condition was stabilized to a large extent.

Zhu Yuanzhang will also take part of the time every day to accompany Queen Ma, and the old couple have nothing to do to visit the imperial garden, tease their grandson, and have a good time.

Li Qing picked a flower, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, so as to stay away from the two of them and leave them room to be alone.

It's not that he wants to be this lighter, Lao Zhu Fei asked him to follow, what can he do.

"Li Qing, come here." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from afar.

"Here we go!"

Li Qing dropped the flower in his hand and stepped forward quickly, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" ”

"Can our sister eat fruit?"

"It's okay to eat less."

"That's it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Xiao Guizi went to get some fresh fruits." ”

"The slave obeys." Xiao Guizi went upside down, and after a while, he hurried over with a basket of crystal fruits, "Your Majesty, water... Fruit. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up an orange, peeled it, broke off a petal and sent it to Queen Ma's mouth, "Ah~"

"Oops, I'll peel it myself."

"Let's peel the sweetness." Zhu Yuanzhang is serious.

Queen Ma glanced at him, but she didn't refuse again, and opened her mouth to eat the oranges sent by her husband.

"Well, that's sweet." She looked happy, "I haven't eaten these things in a long time." ”

"If you want to eat it, we'll peel it for you."

"One is enough." Queen Ma sighed, "Just taste the taste, I can't digest it if I eat too much." ”

As he spoke, he said to Li Qing, "You can eat some too, it tastes good." ”

I'm full of dog food...... Li Qing smiled dryly, "The minister is not thirsty. ”

"If you want to eat, you will eat." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good breath and said, "We are the most annoying hypocritical people." ”

"Hey, Emperor Xie."

Li Qing was no longer polite and started directly.

Queen Ma said: "Li Qing, it will be the emperor's birthday in two days, and the palace also wants to participate, you can prescribe the medicine to make the palace look better." ”

"Sister, don't participate." Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded, "When the time comes, let Zhang'er, Li'er, and Di'er ...... Stay in Beijing for a few more days. ”

Queen Ma said softly: "It's the last time, I want to participate." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and turned to look at Li Qing, "Will there be side effects?" ”

"It's okay if it's just for a day." Li Qing swallowed the orange, "But after the emperor's birthday, the mother needs to rest for two days." ”

Queen Ma smiled: "Two days is two days, you go and prescribe medicine!" ”

"That's... The minister retired. ”

……

Households.

Wang Wenlu said in an anxious tone: "Lord Shilang, at your advice, I have been paying attention to the development of Li Qing's power during this time.

They bring more with less, and the old lead the newcomers, and their development speed is not fast, we can't wait any longer. ”

"What's the hurry?" Guo Huan said unhappily, "Calm down, it's not time to do it yet." ”

Having said that, he was also a little panicked, Li Qing's movements and his forces, he always paid close attention, how could he not understand this, he was also anxious.

However, he can be a high position as a waiter, and he is not an ordinary person, knowing that there is no chance of winning at this time.

Empress Ma's illness needs to be treated by Li Qing, even if she commits a heinous crime, the emperor will cover it up, and there is no possibility of success.

"This Li Qing, who really has two brushes, has recruited 3,000 people in such a short period of time, and trained them well, damn ......" Guo Huan cursed in a low voice.

"Lord Squire, we have to think of a way quickly!" Wang Wenlu said, "Those people under my command are used to eating meat, and now they are vegetarians, where can they stand it, their subordinates can't hold it down." ”

"Let them endure for a while." Guo Huan said, "In the past month, Li Qing has been running around the palace all day long, if my expectations are correct, Niangniang's condition should be aggravated."

On the day of the mother's funeral, it is the time for the head to hit the ground. ”

Guo Huan glanced at Wang Wenlu, "Don't worry, it's not just us who want Li Qing to die, those nobles and royal relatives, how many butts are clean?"

Even if we don't move, they won't watch Li Qing grow bigger. ”

Wang Wenlu sighed, thought about it, and said, "It's the emperor's birthday in two days, do you want to disgust him at the banquet?" ”

"Hmm......" Guo Huan pondered for a moment, "Okay, just take this opportunity to see which are our hidden allies, isn't he good at composing poetry?"

You are very popular in the Hanlin Academy, and when the time comes, force him to dedicate a poem to the emperor, if he can't do it, he will be charged with disrespecting the emperor, and those who see him unhappy will also stand up to help;

If he does it, you will over-interpret it and bring it politically. ”

He sneered, "If you can't kill him, you can disgust him, and when he dies of disaster, it can be used as evidence of crime." ”

"Oh yes...... Wang Wenlu's eyes lit up and he said with admiration, "Lord Shilang is high, so I will contact my friends in the Hanlin Academy." ”

"Wait a minute." Guo Huan advised, "Don't show your bottom." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, this humble duty understands."

"Well, go ahead."

Guo Huan looked at the back of Wang Wenlu leaving, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, once some things are done, it will be difficult to withdraw again.

Now, even if he wants to 'wash his hands in a golden basin', the people under his hands will not agree, and the people below will push him forward, and if he doesn't go forward, those people will trample him under his feet.

As Wang Wenlu said, if you are used to eating meat, who can stand it if you change to a vegetarian diet?

It was precisely because those people took a fancy to the meat to eat with him that they gathered under his door and gave him today's status.

After all...... Just rely on that little money, I'm afraid I can't eat vegetarian.

is in the center of the power whirlpool, it's not that he can retreat if he wants to, besides, he Guo Huan doesn't want to be a vegetarian!

——

Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday is imminent, and the dignitaries and vassal kings from all over the country have come to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and no one wants to miss this opportunity to curry favor with the emperor.

At the entrance of the vegetable market, the execution table where the criminals were executed was deserted, and the officials involved in the empty seal case were temporarily spared and imprisoned.

The emperor's birthday is a great event, although it is not celebrated by the whole country, but the shops in Beijing are all lit up, and it is more lively than the New Year.

Li Qing walked on the street, looking at the congratulatory messages posted everywhere, and was amazed.

In September, the night was already a little cool, Li Qing bought a few blankets, added two thicker clothes to the third girl, and made a few sets herself.

The Daming treasure banknote is still very durable, and the money rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang and his son still has two thousand taels left.

~

September 18.

Queen Ma's face is ruddy, her complexion is excellent, and her phoenix crown is full of nobility and kindness; After drinking Li Qing's decoction, her body had a vitality to support her steadily, but she didn't see a trace of sickness.

Today's emperor is not early, but the officials came earlier than usual, Li Qing came out of the Qianqing Palace, and when he arrived at the banquet, it was already crowded.

In the square outside the Fengtian Palace, there are two hundred tables, Beijing officials, local officials, nobles, and royal relatives sit down in different areas, and eunuchs and palace maids shuttle back and forth, sending melons and fruits and snacks.

Many people came to the workshop, fiddling with musical instruments.

Mao Xiang, Zhang Heng, Liu Ming and others also came from Bashu to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.

The emperor has not yet arrived, and the main dishes are naturally not served, and everyone eats tea and chats, so it is not lively.

Li Qing rubbed his hands, the specifications of this banquet today are much higher than those of the class reunions of later generations, and there is no need to follow them, it is really beautiful.

"Li Qing, over here." Liu Ming beckoned.

"Here we go."

Li Qing came to the table and sat down, clasped his fists and smiled, "Hello adults! ”

A few people returned the courtesy, smiling kindly, they already knew about Li Qing's promotion, but they didn't feel unhappy.

First, Li Qing did not divide their rights, and second, Li Qing was the number one contributor to the expansion of Jinyiwei's influence, and they were also beneficiaries.

Mao Xiang said with a smile, "In just over a month, I have recruited all the people, and I have trained well, and I have done a good job." ”

"The boss has won the prize."

After a few words of laughter, Li Qing looked at a table not far away and asked in a low voice, "Those wearing the dragon robes of the reckless python are the vassal kings who have already become a vassal lord, right?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Ming took over, "The tallest is His Royal Highness King Qin, the burly one is His Royal Highness King Jin, and the one holding the little prince is His Royal Highness King Yan......"

"Don't talk about that." Mao Xiang interrupted, "Say something else." ”

Li Qing explained with a smile, "Humble duty is curiosity, and there is no other meaning." ”

"Don't be curious about royal affairs." Mao Xiao glared at him, "Let's talk about Jinyiwei." ”

"Okay."

Li Qing responded with a few words, but his eyes unconsciously looked at King Yan not far away......
