Although spring has already begun, the coldness is expected to remain unabated. In the early court that day, Chu Yuan was dizzy due to the quarrel with the ministers, so he went to the imperial garden alone after the court, trying to get some air.
Not long after, Duan Baiyue came over. From a distance, I saw him sitting under the corridor, wrapped in a thick white cloak, holding a cup of tea in his hand and not drinking, only staring at the front of his head in a daze.
Hearing the footsteps, Chu Yuan looked back at him.
"What's wrong?" Duan Baiyue squatted in front of him with a smile, and took the cold cup of tea away, "Sitting here alone, who made you angry again?"
"When did you come back?" Chu Yuan covered his cold cheeks with both hands.
"This morning, I chatted with Sikong for a while last night, and then I simply slept in Jinduan Village." Duan Baiyue said, "I bought you baked buns and sweet-scented osmanthus wine, do you want to eat them?"
"No appetite." Chu Yuan curled his lips, "I got a headache from the quarrel this morning."
"Tell me, who do you want me to hit?" Duan Baiyue rolled up his sleeves.
Chu Yuan squeezed his face with a smile: "Noisy."
"They quarrel with them, what's the matter with starving themselves." Duan Baiyue pulled him to stand up and walked back all the way, "Just treat it as having breakfast with me."
"What were you talking about with Sikong last night?" Chu Yuan asked, "You still have to run out of the palace."
"Xiuxiu wants to open an embroidery shop in Wangcheng." Duan Baiyue said, "Sikong pulls me out to see the place. It's best to open it before autumn."
Chu Yuan said unexpectedly: "Is this planning to live in the royal city for a long time?"
"At least we won't look back at Xijiao until after you and I get married." Duan Baiyue said, "Xiuxiu has a restless temperament, and she has been bored in the palace with nothing to do, so it's alright to find something to do. ."
"It's not something you're looking for casually." Chu Yuan smiled, "When you and I get married, the monarchs and envoys from all over the world will come, and you can't just have a drink and leave, you have to bring something back. , Silk embroidered porcelain tea, I am afraid that it will be hard to find by then, if you can use this to open up trade routes, there will be a steady stream of money to make in the future."
Duan Baiyue touched her chin: "No wonder, I'm quite picky."
"Sikong was not chased by dogs in vain." Chu Yuan joked, "At least he married a good wife who can manage the house."
"No matter how good it is, it's not as good as my daughter-in-law." Duan Baiyue clenched his hand tightly.
Chu Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Si Xi followed behind, thinking that the emperor still wanted the prince to coax him, and after chatting for a few words, the irritability on his face disappeared, and he was going to have breakfast.
The baked buns are crispy and crunchy when you bite down, and they are full of gravy. Duan Baiyue said while watching him eat: "You really don't want me to help with the affairs of the court?"
"You said the group of people quarreled this morning?" Chu Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal, it will stop on its own in a few days."
Duan Baiyue smiled softly: "Then I—"
"You are not allowed to leave the palace." Chu Yuan refused.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"Follow me to criticize the book." Chu Yuan wiped his fingers, "Let's go."
Duan Baiyue held the chair and refused to get up: "My head hurts."
"It really hurts?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue said weakly: "Well."
"Four hi." Chu Yuan rushed out the door and ordered, "I will tell Xiao Jin to enter the palace immediately, and I will say that the prince has a headache."
Duan Baiyue: "!!!"
Duan Baiyue said: "I admit defeat."
If you let that genius doctor enter the palace, no matter if you have a headache, cold, fever, or cough, there is only one cause.
Ye Jin said: "You have no cure for this disease."
The wealthy household who came to seek medical treatment burst into tears and asked his servants to help him back. What should the concubine in the eighteenth room do
"Next!" The little servant shouted at the side.
The people lined up outside the shantang, and they all felt that Ye Shenyi was really a first-class good person. Not only did he come to the shantang in the city for a consultation, but he also brought out the imperial doctor Zhang in the palace to see the doctor for everyone for free. Things you can't even think about.
In a few days, the people of Shili Baxiang heard the news and rushed to Wangcheng with the sick. Today Tao Rende was sitting in the restaurant opposite Shantang, ordering a bowl of plain noodles and a few side dishes to eat slowly. There were many people chatting around, and the content was nothing more than to say that His Highness the Ninth Highness was skilled in medicine and kind-hearted. The Imperial Physician is also very good with a smile and so on. Later, he talked about the emperor and the prince. It is said that several hundred pieces of light red silk have been prepared in the palace recently, and agate, jade, jade and coral are too many to be used for paving.
The people looked envious, and they didn't know if pearls and gold foil would be put in the dishes of the wedding banquet, after all, it was the emperor and the prince.
We all want to eat.
A group of younger generations were dancing with excitement and were discussing the Xuanming Cold Iron and the Bodhi Heart Sutra. Although they didn’t know what this was, they knew that it was extremely powerful just by hearing the name. It is also said in the small story book that during the Battle of Nanyang, the prince froze hundreds of enemy ships with one sword, and turned the monstrous waves into blizzards and winds, which was very scary.
Tao Rende sighed in his heart, put down his chopsticks and wanted to leave, but there was someone sitting across from him.
…
"Master Taifu." Duan Baiyue said, "It's such a coincidence."
"Your Highness." Tao Rende waved his hand, "The old man has resigned and is no longer an adult."
"The best food in this restaurant is the fish head bubble cake." Duan Baiyue smiled and poured a cup of tea for him, "Taifu only ordered a bowl of plain noodles, it's a loss."
"Is there something wrong with the lord?" Tao Rende asked.
"I just happened to pass by. When I saw Taifu here, I remembered that the emperor was still talking about yesterday, so I came up and took a look." Duan Baiyue said.
Tao Rende was silent.
"Even if you don't become an official, if you have time in the future, let's go to the palace and sit down, even if it's just to chat with the emperor." Duan Baiyue said sincerely, "Recently, the various factions in the dynasty and China have been quarreling because of the Huainan Salt Secretary. Panic, the emperor also has a headache."
Tao Rende shook his head: "The emperor knows what to do. The reason for the delay is to wait for Wang Zhe's side to compromise first."
Duan Baiyue laughed: "It's really a master, I admire it."
Duan Nian came up the stairs, holding a small box in his hand. After opening it, it was full of medicinal fragrance.
"I heard that the second son of the mansion suffered a bone injury when he was young, and the root of the disease has fallen." Duan Baiyue pushed the medicinal material in front of Tao Rende, "This is a medicinal material only in the southwest.
"This..." Tao Rende hesitated.
"Take it as a gift from the emperor." Duan Baiyue said, "I don't ask for anything, and it's not a bribe. The second son's health is important."
"Thank you, Lord." Tao Rende said, "The old man will accept it on behalf of the dog."
The surrounding people naturally noticed this table, and no one dared to disturb it, but they were unwilling to leave. It was not until the two left together that they went home separately and planned to show off to their daughter-in-law - after all, not everyone can watch the prince eat, at least three months.
A few days later, Tao Rende really brought a few grandsons into the palace and had a meal with Chu Yuan. During the banquet, the children were chasing and fighting each other, and Chu Yuan smiled kindly throughout the whole process. After the people left, he plunged into Duan Baiyue's arms dizzy and muttered, "Fortunately, you can't give birth." He was more tired than the previous court.
Duan Baiyue touched his belly and said seriously, "Well."
The invitations sent to various places gradually received replies. The emperor of Da Chu was about to get married, and the surrounding vassals naturally wanted to say congratulations. For those who could not come to the door in person, they also sent congratulatory gifts day and night. The shadow guard of the Chasing Shadow Palace drove the carriage into the city gate beamingly, waving enthusiastically at the surrounding people, as if the champion was returning home.
The Palace of Chasing Shadows is rich enough to rival the country, so the congratulations sent will definitely not be shabby. The ritual officer stared at the chambermaid's unloading boxes, and it took three full days to complete the registration. The treasury was full of gold, and a small bottle of phoenix blood was also sent.
An Wei said: "It can cure all diseases." Although it sounds like a powerful pill on the street, who knows who uses it.
Chu Yuan smiled: "I will thank Palace Master Qin and Young Master Shen."
After Sixi arranged the accommodation for everyone, she was still set up and flew around the palace. The little servants in the circle looked worried, stretched out their hands and ran behind them, but don't throw the eldest man down. After all, fat is not everyone. can take it.
"Brother Qin is quite good at giving gifts." Duan Baiyue threw the gold back into the box, "I know that the imperial court has just finished the war and the treasury is empty."
Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, how can you say that you are chasing the palace master."
A Li and Qu Yunzhi also brought a cart full of good wine, which smelled delicious after opening. Yun Duanhun sent a letter. In addition to congratulations, there was also a map of the topographical distribution of the islands in the East China Sea, which was extremely detailed—except for the location of Luoying Island and the Yuwei clan, there was still a vast white fog.
Duan Baiyue said: "Next time there is a chance, I will take you to the East China Sea to meet the seniors."
Chu Yuan nodded and carefully put away the map.
While the two were talking, the maid came to report again, saying that the congratulatory gifts from the Seven Absolutes had also been delivered. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there were also two huge scrolls. They told them not to return them to the treasury, but to find a conspicuous place to hang them side by side. .
Chu Yuan: "..."
Duan Baiyue puzzled: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with the portrait?"
Chu Yuan said tiredly, "You don't understand."
After a while, Duan Baiyue looked at the golden portrait of the Seven Absolute Kings on the scroll with a complicated mood.
Why would someone like to bring a portrait of himself as a gift...
There is another portrait, of course, that of Huang Yuan, the queen of the Seven Absolutes. Chu Yuan shook open a densely packed letter paper, and the beginning really was a long paragraph of "the loving life of the seven absolute kings and queens on weekdays". He casually said a few words of congratulations to the newlyweds in the middle, and then turned the topic back, very much. It's kind of meaningless.
"Will King Qijue come in person this time?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan said: "I think he won't come." But unfortunately, this kind of occasion to join in the fun, I also know that Mu Hanye will definitely not miss it. Not only will it come, but I'm afraid it will... come a long time in advance.
Duan Baiyue comforted: "Someone else gave a gift." It's not a loss to invite a meal.
Chu Yuan shook his head: "He can withstand ten Jintai alone."
Duan Baiyue asked curiously, "So difficult?"
Chu Yuan continued: "In addition, ten Wu Deng and ten Nava are added."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Baiyue said: "Did you ask Da Chu for silver?"
"Even though the Qijue Kingdom is small, it produces gems, and Mu Hanye is not short of money." Chu Yuan said with a headache, "You will know how... peculiar this person is when you meet him."
The author has something to say: Explanation: Brahma will be resolved in other texts in Jianghu, and this book will only explain the wonderful mind and it will be gone.
