After a few days of heavy snow, the winter has returned to the usual dry and cold, with gusts of north wind that was so chilling that the wind curtain outside the Xuanyuan Hall of Zhiyuan swayed a few times. I didn't dare to speak first. Things have not gone well in the DPRK and China recently, and all officials have been reprimanded, so it is better to be more cautious.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the items in front of the case, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. The Songyu Terrace came to report frequently that the prince had recently changed his temperament for unknown reasons. Yesterday Fang Kouyu reprimanded him a few words, and today he published a manuscript, in which the words often related to the death of the former emperor's heirs, which was very annoying.
Thinking of this eldest son who has been painstakingly cultivated by himself since he was a child, he is also the best among his brothers. I hope that the country and society will be in him, and he will pave the way for him everywhere. Complement each other perfectly. The other princes are also brothers and friends, and a few outstanding ones are both arrogant and respectful to this elder brother, so why worry about the instability of the world? Who would have thought that such a rebellious thing would happen, and the teaching and guidance would not be effective, not only did he not repent, but he would intensify the troubles, how could he not be troubled in his heart? Every time I think of his deceased wife, Empress Mincheng, I sigh deeply, and I can't help but feel a little bit guilty.
The maid who served the tea changed the tea on the imperial table again and again, and the cup of herbal tea was still full. Sun Shian quickly came in from the house, bowed and handed over the two manuscripts: "Your Majesty, Yanxi Palace sent you a cup of herbal tea. The manuscripts of His Royal Highness King Ling and Princess Qingping."
"Oh?" The Emperor of Heaven immediately took it over and looked it over, and found that the Empress Dowager was unharmed, and asked for an order to release the manuscript sealed by the Yanxi Palace, and attached two records from the Imperial Hospital at the back, Longyan Dayue: "This is my comfort, hurry up! According to my decree, the Yanxi Palace will be lifted immediately."
Sun Shi'an hurriedly agreed to go, and the Emperor of Heaven said to Feng Yan and Wei Zongping who were still waiting at the side: "The two Qing families come with me to have a look."
When Yujia arrived at Yanxi Palace, the red lacquered golden gate suddenly opened, and Ye Tianling led the crowd to meet him at the door.
The Emperor of Heaven knew that it was Qing Chen who found the prescription, and turned to Feng Yan and said, "Feng Qing's good daughter, whoever she marries into in the future will be a blessing to that family."
Feng Yan leaned over and resigned modestly, he couldn't help but weigh and guess what the Emperor of Heaven said, trying to figure out the holy meaning. Wei Zongping didn't listen to it well, just because his daughter is the princess, and the prince has behaved abnormally for no reason recently, and he was often reprimanded accordingly. He and Feng Yan were fighting each other in the court, and the matter of the prince this time was caused by Luan Fei, the youngest daughter of the Feng family, and he hated him even more. It's just that he has been tempered for many years, but he followed the Heavenly Emperor's praise.
Qing Chen felt a little alert when he heard it for no reason, and suddenly found it very interesting to see Feng Yan squinting at Wei Zongping. Just look up to appreciate the layers of carved beams and painted buildings, the square eaves are intriguing, and there is nothing like this from top to bottom.
However, Ye Tianling also turned his head and glanced at Qing Chen, and saw that she was standing there, close in front of everyone but far away from everyone, and couldn't help thinking of the day when she asked "What if I leave one day?" Uneasy and lingering, all kinds of questions since the acquaintance followed. He frowned, feeling that someone beside him was also looking at him, and immediately returned to his indifferent appearance. However, Feng Yan and Wei Zongping felt their hearts twitch a few times at the same time. The Fourth Highness in front of them has been puzzling for many years. Now the situation between the DPRK and China out of thin air makes them feel a little more uneasy, but they can only be cautious in every step and dare not act rashly.
But the Heavenly Emperor had no time to pay attention to the side, and strode into the palace. At this time, the other princes also entered the palace to pay their respects after receiving the letter. On the eleventh they saw Qing Chen standing beside the Emperor of Heaven, and after a few days of not seeing anyone, they lost a lot of weight, and their expressions were full of concern. Ye Tianzhan cast an inquiring look at her, Qing Chen smiled at him, but this look and smile fell into Feng Yan's eyes again.
After these few days of recuperation, the Empress Dowager's spirit has improved a lot. The Emperor of Heaven personally gave the decoction to her mother. The Empress Dowager said: "These days are hard for Ling'er and Qingchen. Without them, Ai's family would not be able to see the Emperor."
Ye Tianling said lightly: "As long as the imperial grandmother is safe, everything is worth it."
The Emperor of Heaven said: "Ling'er and Qing Chen are really helping me to share my worries and problems this time. I also said just now that Feng Shengsheng's good daughter will be blessed whoever she marries into."
The queen mother smiled and said: "The emperor is confused, there is no way to send blessings outside."
The Heavenly Emperor was taken aback, "haha" laughed and said, "What the Empress Mother said is true."
The queen mother looked around among the children and grandchildren, and saw that even the youngest princess Ruiyang was carried by the nanny, but the prince was the only one missing, so she asked her son, "Your Majesty, why don't you see Hao'er?"
The Emperor of Heaven frowned: "Mother's body is fine, don't worry about him."
The queen mother sighed: "The emperor still imprisoned him in Songyu Terrace? Ai's body, I don't know if I can still watch them for a few days. Although Hao'er made a mistake, he has already been punished, so let's forget it."
The Emperor of Heaven sighed: "Mother..."
Ye Tianling knelt down on one knee, taking the opportunity to intercede for the crown prince: "I beg your father to forgive your elder brother." As soon as he knelt down, all the brothers around him also knelt down: "I beg your father to show mercy, and forgive your elder brother to return to the palace. "
Since he was called "Emperor Brother" but not "His Royal Highness the Prince", the younger brother interceded for his elder brother and put the emperor and ministers aside. The Emperor of Heaven looked at his sons kneeling down at his feet, feeling all kinds of feelings in his heart, and was silent for a while: "Get up." Wei Zongping said to Wei Zongping, who was also leaning over at the side: "I will pass on my oral order to obey the Queen Mother's order, and the prince will move back today." East Palace."
Wei Zongping hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The minister accepts the order." He bent down and retreated to do it.
Qing Chen looked at Ye Tianming coldly, and saw that there was a coquettish smile on the corner of his mouth, and the look in his slender water-like eyes was soft, and he only moved slightly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
Afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother's rest, the Emperor of Heaven came out after sitting for a while. The princes also retired with their father, Qing Chen sent her to the door of the bedroom, the Emperor of Heaven stood still and turned back to her and asked her: "You have cured the Empress Dowager this time, I have been thinking of rewarding you, how about you?" Tell yourself."
Qing Chen lowered his eyes and said: "Qing Chen dare not ask for a reward. This prescription for curing diseases is just a fluke, and it cannot be widely used. There are still countless people in Beijing and Lizhou who are suffering from it. Please allow Qing Chen to come here." Pingli conducted on-the-spot inspections to find out the root cause and eliminate the disease."
When mentioning the epidemic in Beijing and Li, the Emperor of Heaven became serious: "I don't think you have such a heart." He said to the ministers and sons around him: "Tell me, what do you think?"
Ye Tianling immediately said: "I have been by the imperial grandmother's side for the past few days, and I have been paying attention to this epidemic for a long time. Please allow my father to go to the affected area together."
The Emperor of Heaven nodded, as if he had encountered something difficult to decide, he frowned and remained silent.
King Ji persuaded from the side: "Fourth brother, you don't know something. Now Pingli Prefecture and County can't seal the land, and the dead are reported every day. This epidemic area is no better than the palace. How can the father let you go?" Dangerous?"
The Emperor of Heaven looked at Ye Tianling, and Ye Tianling said indifferently: "Thank you, third brother, for your suggestion, but if this is the case, I will go even more. If Pingli Prefecture and county can't be sealed off, they should transfer troops to seal it off. Erchen recently discussed with the princess. This disease comes and goes, and I feel that if it is not properly prevented, even if there is medicine, it will be difficult. Please allow me to play it."
Eleven said: "Father, the fourth brother has been working hard to serve the emperor's grandmother these few days, it's better to let the son go."
Ye Tianli went on to say: "Father, or my son..." But Eleven gave him a dark look, was stunned, and didn't say any more.
The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand: "I know what you want to say, Song Defang, what can you do at the Taiyuan Hospital?"
Song Defang bowed and said: "This matter still needs to be determined according to the actual situation in the epidemic area. The old minister also asked for an order to go to Pingli to investigate."
The Emperor of Heaven turned his head to Qing Chen and said, "I'm all talking to you!"
Qing Chen smiled and said, "How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den."
"How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's lair!" The Heavenly Emperor walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "It's all gone, let me think about it again, Ling'er, come with me."
Several people sent the Emperor of Heaven off respectfully, and Qing Chen stayed in Yanxi Palace to serve the Empress Dowager for the time being, so he didn't have to return to Zhiyuan Palace as an errand.
The eleven brothers fell behind the crowd and walked side by side. Ye Tianli said: "Brother, why did you stop me just now?"
Eleventh said: "Where is Pingli? Hundreds of people die every day. Doesn't your request for such a decree worry your mother and concubine?"
Ye Tianli raised his sword eyebrows, and said disapprovingly: "Since you know the danger, and you ask for an order yourself, isn't the concubine mother worried?"
Eleven smiled and said, "You'd be able to block errands for me."
Ye Tianli said: "Since you were young, you have been in front of me in everything, why don't you allow me to stand in your way once?"
But someone behind him laughed and said, "What are the two brothers talking about?"
Looking back, seeing Qing Chen walking over, Eleven sized her up and said, "I heard that you were sick a few days ago, and we couldn't come to see you, are you feeling better now?"
Qing Chen only said: "It's nothing, but I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after two days of rest." The ban on Yanxi Palace was suddenly lifted, and the whole palace seemed to have a new look. The heavy palace gate rushed out and disappeared without a trace. Qing Chen took a deep breath, and the withered trees in the deep winter almost brought beauty and vitality. At this time, Fang really felt that he had seen the sun again.
Ye Tianli shook his head and said jokingly, "You don't know that someone is in such a hurry."
Qing Chen knew what he meant, so he could only smile back: "Thank you for thinking about it. I heard you are talking about the epidemic area?"
"Yes." Ye Tianli responded, "Brother Eleven stopped me from going."
"Good stop." Qing Chen said, Eleven smiled and said, "Look, I can't say it."
Qing Chen continued, "You can't go either."
Eleven frowned: "How do you say that?"
Qing Chen said: "Do you want me to tell you? There is nothing like a battlefield. There are swords and guns. The epidemic is hard to prevent. It will be bad if you don't pay attention."
Ye Tianli smiled and said: "Everyone says it's dangerous, so they have to go, what's the matter?"
The three smiled at the same time, Eleven said to Qing Chen: "You can stop us, but where is Fourth Brother?"
Qing Chen had no choice but to say, "It would be great if someone could stop what he had decided in his heart. So I said, none of you want to go."
So the two of them had nothing to say. They saw Sun Shi'an coming to Yanxi Palace with two servants from a distance, and while they were talking, they came to the front. Your Highness."
Ye Tianli asked, "What did you take?"
Sun Shi'an said: "The emperor gave the princess a reward, and ordered this old slave to deliver it." After speaking, he put a gold plate covered with silk brocade forward.
Qing Chen kowtowed to the emperor for his grace, took the gold plate with his hand, opened the silk brocade, and found a small-leaf sandalwood box inside. When he opened the box, there was a string of white crystals lying quietly on the blue velvet, faintly glowing. Gentle sheen.
Qing Chen was overjoyed, it turned out to be a string of crystal moonstones. Ye Tianli looked at it and said: "Father actually gave you this as a reward. This is the moonstone, a precious treasure of the royal family. It is a rare treasure just like the gold silk crystals worn by queens of all ages."
"Golden silk crystal?" Qing Chen asked: "But the kind of gemstone with golden threads in the transparent crystal?"
Ye Tianli nodded and said, "Exactly, how do you know?"
It turned out to be a titanium spar, Qing Chen smiled: "I've heard of it." Slowly closing the lid, this is the sixth Linglong crystal that I have found.
