Qianqing Palace.

Li Qing treated Queen Ma as usual, and after finishing his work, he came to the front hall square to watch the monk chanting, and the bald head was quite ornamental under the light of the early morning sun.

Zhu Rong and Zhu Li were not there, only Zhu Di and Zhu Rong listened to the scriptures patiently, and judging from their expressions, they were suffering.

Li Qing stepped forward to say hello, sat down and listened for a while, but he was also quite bored.

glanced up at Dao Yan, and saw that his behavior was regular, and he was far away from Zhu Di, so he also dispelled his doubts.

……

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Biao was reviewing the recital, and when he heard the eunuch report to Li Qing asking to see him, he immediately said, "Xuan." ”

"Minister Li Qing, see ......"

"You haven't recovered yet, so you don't need to salute." Zhu Biao waved his hand, "Sit down." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Li Qing sat down, looked at Zhu Biao, whose eyes were red and his face was haggard, and sighed secretly: The pressure on this prince is too great.

Zhu Yuanzhang has gone through the motions in the early days, and almost all the big and small matters in the court and China have fallen on Zhu Biao.

It stands to reason that it is nothing to supervise a country, but without a prime minister and a cabinet to share worries, this burden is too heavy.

Lao Zhu is a workaholic, like an iron man, but Zhu Biao is obviously not as good as his foundation, and he is not as resistant to pressure as him.

"How is the queen mother?" Zhu Biao put down the music and leaned back in the chair, the tiredness on his face could not be concealed.

"Mother is fine."

"Well, that's good."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, his eyes slowly narrowed, his right hand gently pinched his eyebrows, and after a long time, he opened it again, picked up a note, and continued to review.

"What are you looking for?" Zhu Biao is dedicated to two purposes.

"Your Highness, your face is not very good, can you let the minister give you the number and pulse?"

"There is no discomfort in the lonely body, just some fatigue." Zhu Biao smiled, "That's what you're here for?" ”

Li Qing nodded and chuckled, "Prevention is better than prevention." ”

"Hmm... It's good. Zhu Biao stretched out his arm.

Li Qing stepped forward and put his wrist on it, concentrating on the pulse.

"Lonely, aren't you?" Zhu Biao saw that his brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, and he was a little panicked, "Lonely can eat and drink, but he has worked a little harder, and his body is a little tired, and there is nothing beside him." ”

Li Qing withdrew his hand and nodded, "Your Highness is in good health and has no symptoms. ”

Why are you frowning when you're not sick, scare me...... Zhu Biao glanced at him angrily, "Lone still has official business to do, nothing else, you can step down." ”

“…… The minister retired. ”

Back home, Li Qing lay on the bed, restless.

Zhu Biao is indeed not sick, and his body also meets the indicators of his age, but judging from his workload and pressure before tomorrow......

Overwork is bound to become a disease!

But he can't point fingers in this matter, Zhu Biao is the prince, his position is unbreakable, Lao Zhu has high hopes for him, and it is reasonable for him to take over the government in advance, what can he say with a brocade robe?

"Alas... It's hard! Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile and whispered to himself: "Is it really impossible to change?" ”

If he could, he still wanted to protect Zhu Biao.

Although Zhu Ming is definitely an Emperor Wen, and his exploits are difficult to catch up with Yongle, if he does not die, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be purged, and there will be no years-long battle of appeasement.

He likes Emperor Yongle, but there are too many strange emperors in Yongle's vein.

Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, Zhu Houzhao, the playful emperor, Zhu Houxi, the immortal Zhu Houxi, the otaku emperor Zhu Yijun, and the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao.

In the end, Chongzhen hanged the coal mountain.

……

"Sir."

The voice of mercy outside the door pulled Li Qing back to reality.

"Come in."

Lianxiang pushed the door in and reflexively tied the door, "Sir, are you better?" ”

"Okay, don't you want to know if you try it?" Li Qing patted his thigh, "Come and sit." ”

Lian Xiang's little face blushed, and she sat gently and delicately on his lap, afraid of pressing him, only the little half of her ass was next to her.

Nuan Yu is in her arms, and Li Qing is not Liu Xia Hui, so she naturally has to do something that needs to be done.

Seeing that he was coming for real, Lian Xiang hurriedly said, "Mr. hasn't recovered yet, can the maid use other methods?" ”

As he spoke, he shook his snow-white feet.

Li Qing hasn't explored the seclusion for a long time, and he still wants to hit a home run, but it's okay to have an appetizer first.

"Well, that's fine."

——————————————

The dragon cui points into the phoenix as the head, lining out the lotus double jade ditch;

Wear the flower path, go up to the small building, and the jade butterfly relieves people's worries......

Pian Xiangchai slanted her sideburns and pouted, "Sir, really...... If Sister Redsleeve knew, she would definitely talk about me. ”

"Am I okay, don't you already know?" Li Qing stretched, "I'll sleep for a while, do you want to be together?" ”

"Don't."

Lian Xiang was afraid that he would not be able to control himself anymore, so she hurriedly dressed and fled.

When he got to the door, he turned his head again, and stopped talking.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, the servant has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Say it." Li Qing looked at her with a smile.

Lian Xiang pursed her lips and said tentatively, "Why doesn't Sir... Don't let Wanling wait? ”

"She's still young."

"Still young?" Lianxiang was puzzled, "She's almost sixteen!" ”

Li Qing smiled, "Sixteen is considered to be big?" ”

"Not really." Lian Xiang said, "Women are fourteen and the sky is coming, and they can marry when they come to Kwai Shui, and wealthy people marry their daughters a little later, but generally not more than sixteen, that is......

It is the princess, and they are all at the age of sixteen, and they are all horses. ”

Lian Xiang persuaded: "Wanling is really not small, Mr. has been hanging her, she is not feeling good in her heart, and she is under a lot of psychological pressure." ”

Li Qing: "......"

Seeing that Lianxiang said seriously, she thought about it and said, "I know, I'll talk to her after lunch." ”

"Hmm." Reika breathed a sigh of relief, "That gentleman rests." ”

As he spoke, he turned and closed the door gently.

Li Qing smiled dumbly, and said to himself: "The ancients married girls so early! ”

After sleeping for most of the hour, Li Qing was in good spirits, and he hadn't slept well these days.

In the middle of the night, the master gave him the true qi, and in the early morning he gave the true qi to Queen Ma, and the sleep time was greatly reduced.

Despite this, he could still feel that Queen Ma's body was getting worse day by day, and she couldn't support it for long.

With a sigh, Li Qing got dressed and came to the courtyard to wash his face.

After a while, the imperial meal was delivered on time, steamed fish, braised pigeon, roast duck, roast chicken...... It's not hearty.

Li Qing's mouth was full of oil.

After eating, he pulled out a chair and sat under the fruit tree, took a book, drank tea, and was leisurely.

Lian Xiang and Red Sleeves returned to the house after cleaning up, and Wan Ling pressed her shoulder behind him.

"What is the gentleman looking at?"

"The Great Ming Law." Li Qing said casually.

Suddenly remembered that there was still something to do, and patted her little hand gently, "No need to press it, move a chair, I have something to tell you." ”

"yes, okay."

Wan Ling was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a chair and sat in front of Li Qing, "Sir, please speak." ”

"Lianxiang told me, in fact, you also think too much." Li Qingdao said, "The reason why I don't touch you is not because you are bad, but because you are different from them." ”

Wan Ling looked down, and couldn't help but feel a little inferior, it was indeed different.

"They're Red Guys, you're Clear, and you're still young." Li Qing groaned, "You are innocent, and you can marry like an ordinary woman if you take off your lowly status."

I don't touch you, and I have this consideration. ”

"Wanling doesn't want to marry, she just wants to serve her husband for the rest of her life." Wan Ling wanted to cry, "Sir, don't drive me away. ”

Li Qing was stunned and nodded slightly, "I'm just giving you one more choice, not to drive you away." ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Isn't it big before sixteen?"

Not necessarily, in my opinion, they are not very big, but they are only in their early twenties. ”

"Well, that's what Mr. said." Wan Ling didn't know what he was trying to say, so she had to agree.

Li Qing thought about it for a while, and gave a promise, "Wait for the New Year." ”

Chinese New Year...... Wanling comprehended the subtext, and was ashamed and happy in her heart, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Son... Listen to Mr. ”

"Well, you all have the habit of taking a nap, go and rest."

"Yes, sir."

Wan Ling bowed and walked briskly back to the house.

Li Qing sighed softly, sleeping with Lianxiang and red sleeves, he didn't have a little burden, because they were red people, even if they were separated from him, it would be the same.

And, at least with him, it won't be sent around.

But Wanling is different, sleeping with her will be somewhat psychologically burdensome.

Immediately, Li Qing felt that he was too hypocritical, everyone was willing to be a little girl, what kind of ink did he have as a big man?

Wanling is so lovely, he really gave it away, but he was a little reluctant.
