In the imperial study, the emperor read the memorials and talked to the prince with a smile on his face. "The Luohe flood control project is progressing rapidly this time. The embankment in Jiangzhou has been built, and the canal in Jiangzhou has been dug to connect with the Luohe. The military-civilian cooperation is indeed a good idea, and it has accelerated a lot. Luohe The matter of the project is a great achievement both with the people and with my Xuanyuan Empire."
"It's all thanks to the blessings of the father and emperor that it can progress so smoothly. In this way, within two years, Huzhou, Jiangzhou, Licheng, and Luocheng can be connected by canal, and the convenience of water transportation and the convenience of commerce and trade can be achieved. Prosperity has brought great benefits to our dynasty." Xuanyuan Hancheng said that the army is involved in the project in this life, and the progress is much faster than that in the previous life. Xuanyuan Hancheng's previous life witnessed the influence of the Xuanyuan Dynasty after the canals were connected.
"Next year, I intend to let you visit the Jiangzhou area on my behalf..." the emperor said to the prince. "You are my favorite prince, and I also hope that you can take a look at the mountains, rivers and rivers of my Xuanyuan Empire before ascending the throne, so that you can better understand the sentiments of the people."
"No. My son will definitely live up to his father's expectations." Xuanyuan Hancheng knelt down and promised, he has always been very grateful to his father for his teaching and cultivation, and he will definitely take good care of his father's inheritance in this life. country.
The emperor told the prince about next year's draft again, "In the draft next year in March, your mother's intention is to marry the prince and accept two concubines for you. If you have a favorite in this draft, you can choose a few more. As a prince, you are almost in good shape now. It’s time to increase the number of people in the backyard. There are too few people in your backyard now, and you don’t look like a…”
Xuanyuan Hancheng was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at his father and asked, "Has the queen mother mentioned a candidate?"
"The choice of the crown princess has not been decided yet. Your mother said that Wen Wenqian, the direct daughter of the Wen family, is good. What do you think? For the side concubine, Zhang Chunwei, the direct daughter of the Minister of Rites, and Yao Yulan, the direct daughter of the Governor of Beiguang, are good candidates. "The emperor said, and asked the prince: "Do you have a favorite candidate?"
Xuanyuan Han Cheng thought for a while and said: "The daughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites is a good candidate for the side concubine, and Zhang Shilang is very prestigious among the court and Chinese officials. And Yao Yulan's father and brother are already in high positions, and the son does not want to marry someone like this. The woman of the mother's family is the concubine. In addition, the son does not want to marry the prince concubine immediately. After all, it is announced that the Xue family has just passed away, and she has been exempted from the qualification to enter the imperial mausoleum. If you marry the prince concubine immediately next year, it will be a bit cold. I heard that the direct daughter of the Wen family is for good, and her younger brother is not too young, so it is time to marry a full-fledged wife."
After listening to the prince's words, the emperor gave the prince a deep look. "Is it really because of this reason that you don't want to marry the Crown Princess?"
"My son doesn't dare to deceive the father and the emperor. My son thinks that there are no women who are qualified to be crown princesses among the three candidates that my mother prefers and the show girls selected for the next year's draft." Xuanyuanhan answered according to the facts, except for his good boy in this life Bao no one can walk side by side with him.
The emperor sighed after hearing the prince's words. Obviously the prince's answer did not satisfy him. "Wait until next year's draft, and then make a decision... In short, you will have at least one more side concubine in next year's draft."
"No. Father... Next year is a long way to go to Jiangzhou. My son wants to take Lin Fangjun with him." Xuanyuan Hancheng said to the emperor.
After thinking about it, the emperor nodded in agreement, and said without meaning: "It is not impossible to go with the side, but I want to remind you that as the prince, the heir is the most important!"
"Thank you for your grace, my son understands that my son will not disappoint you," Xuanyuan Hancheng said solemnly.
Xuanyuan Hancheng came out of the imperial study, and did not go back to Pingle Court immediately, but went directly to Yongshou Palace. He met his mother alone. Xuanyuan Hancheng and his mother talked about what he told his father about the draft today.
"That Zhang Chunwei comes from a scholarly family. She has a docile temperament and looks beautiful, but she looks a little weak... I am a little worried about the future son. I think that Yao Yulan is better, or both of you will be better. Accept it." The Queen expressed her concerns.
"My son doesn't like Yao Yulan. At a very young age, the name of the first talented girl in the capital came out. There are many famous and talented girls in the capital. Which girl from a big family with a background is not talented. But why did it just spread such a girl who just reached her hair? The girl is the number one talented girl in the capital, which shows that she is a very ambitious woman. My son still has family treasures by his side, and after Xu Xueying's incident, my son does not want to put such a woman in the backyard of the East Palace." Xuanyuan Hancheng said decisively. He disliked Yao Yulan. "As for Zhang Chunwei's body, you don't have to worry about it, Queen Mother. Imperial Physician Qian by Erchen's side has superb medical skills. You can ask Imperial Physician Qian to take care of her body. If you want to come to the draft in March next year, it should be fine. As for Wen Wenqian, she is good. It's better to keep my younger brother as the concubine. Wen Wenqian is one year older than her younger brother, and her calm temperament is just right for her somewhat impatient younger brother."
After listening to the prince, the queen felt that it was reasonable. The queen was very relieved to see her two brothers and sisters, and the prince could always think of the second prince. The queen also felt good about the prince's proposal. And the prince mentioned Jiabao again, and the queen also thought about Jiabao's temperament. "Then let Imperial Physician Qian take a look for Miss Zhang's family first. As for the rest, let's take a look. Next year's draft will still have many good women from aristocratic families..."
On the way back to Pingle Garden, Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered Yuan Fu who was by his side. "Tell Qian Chunrong to come to the inner study to see the orphan."
Qian Chunrong came to His Royal Highness's inner study. After two years, he is now the confidant of His Royal Highness. "His Royal Highness, what are your orders?"
"You go find a way to find out about the real state of Zhang Chunwei, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Rites... I want to know the exact news as soon as possible." Xuanyuan Hancheng only remembered that Zhang Chunwei died of illness in the next year, that is, the eighth year of Yuntai, but he could not remember the exact information. Time, I wonder if she can survive the draft
"No." Qian Chunrong immediately went to investigate.
After inquiring in many ways, Qian Chunrong reported the results of his investigation to His Royal Highness: "The medical condition of that Miss Zhang is very poor, although the pulse case only shows that she is weak and needs to rest. But from the medicine prescribed by the doctor, A large amount of tiger and wolf medicine has been used to maintain it, and I think the organs in Chunwei's body have begun to fail..."
"If it is up to you to diagnose and treat Zhang Chunwei, is there any hope for her to recover? If not, can she prolong her life as much as possible so that she can support her until the end of the draft?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked Qian Chunrong.
"I can't guarantee it, I need to go to ask for Miss Zhang's pulse before I can find out. But I will do my best to heal Miss Zhang." Qian Chunrong said.
"You go to Zhang's house as soon as possible..." Xuanyuan Hancheng whispered something in Qian Chunrong's ear again, and then let him retire.
The house of Zhang Tinghui, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was brightly lit. Madam Zhang wiped her tears and looked anxiously at her unconscious daughter lying on the bed. Zhang Chunwei fell ill with a cold since she came back from the palace.
Zhang Tinghui said angrily to his wife, "Who asked you to take Chunwei into the palace on your own initiative? Chunwei's body is already like this, do you still take her out, or take her to the palace? There will be an audition next year, if Chunwei is What should Wei do when she falls into the eyes of the Empress? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Mrs. Zhang said hesitantly, "I think it's hard to shirk the Queen's concubine. It's clear that Chunwei's health has gotten better in the past few days, so I took her there. How did I think this would happen..."
"What did Doctor Wang say?" Zhang Tinghui asked his wife.
"Doctor Wang said, Chunwei is afraid she won't be able to delay this winter, woohoo..." Madam Zhang cried even more sadly. Mrs. Zhang gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and she loved her only daughter very much. However, her daughter was weak since she was a child and suffered from serious and minor illnesses, which really broke her heart.
Mrs. Zhang watched her daughter grow up day by day, and saw that she was at an age when she could get married. However, her daughter has often asked the imperial doctor to see a doctor over the years. Everyone in the capital circles knew that the daughter of the Zhang family was frail and sickly, and that Zhang Chunwei's marriage was unconcerned. Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Shilang came up with a solution. Since last year, when their daughter fell ill, they did not ask a doctor to see her. The Zhang family claimed that Zhang Chunwei's body was much better. Seeing in the capital that the Zhang family had indeed never hired an imperial doctor, they all thought that Miss Zhang's health had improved. In fact, the Zhang family secretly invited a doctor Wang, who is said to be a master of rejuvenation, to treat her. That doctor Wang was somewhat capable. After taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wang, her daughter really improved.
So Mrs. Zhang began to worry about her daughter's marriage. In Mrs. Zhang's heart, she wanted to find a family for her daughter to marry as soon as possible. To explain that she knew about her daughter's body, she still tried to hide it, and wanted to find someone to marry, Mrs. Zhang was helpless. In the Xuanyuan Dynasty, women who died unmarried were not eligible to be buried in the Zhang family's ancestral tomb. And if you are married, you will have a husband's family, so if your daughter goes, she won't end up as a lonely ghost, and she will finally have a place to return.
Everything went well at first, and the daughter gradually got better under the treatment of the folk doctor. Everyone in the capital knew that Miss Zhang was in better health, and when she was at an age that could be said to be close, matchmakers came to her door one after another. Mrs. Zhang was busy looking at each other, so she was summoned by the Empress. She didn't want her daughter to get cold after returning from the palace. The doctor even said that his daughter will not survive the spring of next year. Both Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Shilang felt that it was too sudden and could not accept the reality...
What Mrs. Zhang and Shilang Zhang didn't know was that the folk magician they hired was actually mediocre, while Zhang Chunwei's body was already at the end of the line. The wind chill made her body collapse quickly.
At this time, the servants in the house came to report, "Master, Madam, the imperial doctor of the hospital has arrived."
Zhang Shilang and Mrs. Zhang were surprised that they did not ask for an imperial doctor. Zhang Shilang suddenly thought that there were only two imperial doctors surnamed Qian in the imperial hospital, one was the head of the imperial hospital, and it was impossible for him to come in person. The other is the son of the head of the Imperial Hospital. This little Qian Imperial Doctor is now a popular person beside His Royal Highness.
Imperial Physician Qian took Zhang Chunwei's pulse and found that her pulse was chaotic. After reading the prescription she used before, she carefully considered and re-prescribed a new prescription. Mrs. Zhang ordered the servants to cook the medicine immediately.
After that, Qian Chunrong and Zhang Shilang and his wife had a secret conversation for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang finally smiled, and the things she had always worried about for her daughter were resolved. Regardless of the purpose of His Royal Highness, the Zhang family is very grateful to His Highness.
In Pingle Garden, Lin Jiabao carefully looked at the account books. As the end of the year approached, Mama Qiu handed over all the accounts of Pingle Garden this year to Lin Fangjun for inspection and verification. Lin Jiabao watched it very seriously. He had learned a lot of useful skills with Mama Qiu over the past year, which had benefited him a lot.
Xuanyuan Hancheng stayed by Lin Jiabao's side and did not interfere. Watching Jiaobao and Qiu Qiu talk about the palace affairs in Pingle Court, seeing that what Jiaobao said was coherent and handled properly. Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that Bao Bao spent a lot of thought and effort in this palace affairs, and he was pleased with Bao Bao's growth and felt very distressed for him. He saw all the hard work Lin Jiabao had done for him, how could he not want to hold such a treasure in his hand.
In the evening, Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao were lying on the bed. Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao talked about taking him to Jiangzhou for a tour next year.
"Really? Can I go together?" Lin Jiabao was very happy. He grew up in Lin's village and was sent to the palace. He has never been anywhere else. I am looking forward to traveling with the prince this time.
Xuanyuan Hancheng went on to talk about the draft in March next year. He didn't shy away from telling Gubao about his plans for the draft, saying that Zhang Chunwei was dying soon, and he would take her as his concubine...
Lin Jiabao recalled Miss Zhang Jia, who had met him again, and only remembered her slender figure and fairy-like face. "Miss Zhang, she really can't be cured? It's so pitiful, she's so beautiful, like a fairy..."
"I have asked Imperial Physician Qian to see her, and I will try my best to heal her." Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Lin Jiabao, "Dear baby, don't be sad..."
"So good treasure must always be healthy..." Xuanyuan Hancheng said, "From tomorrow, Xianggong will teach you a set of five animal operas, you have to study hard, practice for a while every day, it will be good for your body... "
"Nuo. You must study hard with Xianggong." Lin Jiabao took the initiative to wrap his arms around Xuanyuan Hancheng's waist.
When Xuanyuan Hancheng heard Gubao's words, his heart became hot. Kiss the baby's mouth hard, it's time for the evening welfare...
