The little eunuch went to Prince Rong An's mansion ahead of time to deliver a message, and the housekeeper hurriedly told Ye Chang that the emperor was coming soon and wanted to have dinner with him in the mansion. After hearing this, Ye Chang waved his hand casually to the housekeeper, "Just order some dishes that the emperor likes."
The butler hurried down, thinking that the prince said he could order a few dishes casually, but how can the emperor come to the mansion to eat casually? Hastily ordered the kitchen and hurriedly prepared.
After the emperor's chariot arrived at Rong'an Palace, the steward led people to greet him at the door.
The emperor got off the jade chariot and asked the steward, "Where's Ye Chang?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Your Majesty can't get out of bed and walk around at will. Since waking up, he has been resting on the bed. Now that he is awake, he knows that the emperor is coming, but he can't come out to greet you."
The emperor waved his hands as he walked in, "I don't need him to greet me. When I came to the Rong'an Palace before, when he was alive and kicking, he didn't greet me properly."
The butler fell silent after hearing the words, and walked in with the emperor.
When they came to the door, the butler pushed it open, and the emperor walked in.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room.
Ye Chang was leaning on the bed, holding a Jiulianhuan in his hand, and was untying it, with a rather bored look on his face.
After the emperor stepped over the threshold, he saw him at a glance. His face was pale. In just a few days, he became very thin. His unparalleled handsome face used to look rosy and pleasant, but now he is extremely weak, his eyes are tired, and his whole body is weak. Leaning on the bed, although he was playing with Jiulianhuan in his hand, he seemed to fall asleep on his back at any time and would not wake up.
He paused, thinking that if he hadn't blocked the slap for him, he would be the one lying on the bed now. Or if it was him, his body might not be able to bear it? Maybe he died at the hands of Concubine Yue.
Thinking of Concubine Yue Gui, his face turned ugly for a moment.
Seeing the emperor coming, Ye Chang raised his head, looked at him, waved the Nine Rings in his hand vainly, and said to him, "You came just in time, you taught me Nine Rings when I was young, and I can't play it well now , this has never been solved, and you just happen to teach me again now."
"Idiot." The emperor smiled and cursed gently when he heard the words, and came to the bed, not shy, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to take the Jiulianhuan in his hand, and said, "I have been born with poor bones. , and sometimes suffer from headaches and brain fever, the queen mother ordered her to be kept in her room, and she played with this when she had nothing to do."
Ye Chang said bluntly, "I have been in good health since I was a child, so naturally I don't need to be locked in the room to play this boredom."
The emperor snorted, "Your body and bones are stronger than mine, but you have no one to control you all these years, and you don't care about minor ailments such as headache, brain fever and cold, and you still run around everywhere in the capital." After he finished speaking, he said, "Now I can't even get out of bed, so I can't run around?"
Ye Chang also snorted, "This little injury will only trap me for ten or eight days, nothing serious."
The emperor raised his face when he heard the words, and reprimanded, "Why is there no serious problem? You were in a coma for three days and were dying. It was Su Yatou and your senior brother who tried their best to drag you back from the gate of hell. Ten days and eight days? What should you do?" Is it a minor injury? I heard about it and said that I need to give birth to a month or two. Take care of me and don't mess around."
Ye Chang said, "I mean, I can always get out of bed in eight days out of ten, right? At least I don't have to play the Nine Links to relieve my boredom."
The emperor laughed when he heard the words, "I have to ask the doctor, isn't Doctor Meng in your mansion? If he says he can get out of bed in ten or eight days, you can get out of bed again." After finishing speaking, he said, "Jiu Lianhuan is also very interesting, you If you don’t play out its meaning, you will naturally find it boring.”
Ye Chang pouted, "It's not as interesting as horse racing, hunting, cricket fighting, and Cuju."
Hearing this, the emperor stretched out his hand and tapped him on the head, "You brat, you only want to play all day long."
Ye Chang sighed, "If you don't want to play, I can't do anything now."
The emperor withdrew his hand, shook Jiu Lianhuan, and said to him, "Look, I will teach you. There are more than ten solutions to this. If you learn all of them, you can play for ten or eight days."
Ye Chang nodded.
The emperor taught Ye Chang while playing Jiulianhuan.
Half an hour later, the butler whispered outside, "Your Majesty, lunch is ready. Are you having lunch in the Shizi's room, or in the painting hall?"
The emperor glanced at Ye Chang and said, "Use it indoors."
The butler should be, and hurried to go.
Not long after, the butler led people to bring lunch into the room one after another, and set up a full table, most of which were the emperor's favorite dishes.
The emperor put down Jiu Lianhuan, looked at Ye Chang and said, "How do you eat every day?"
"Qianhan moved me to the table." Ye Chang said.
The emperor nodded and sat down at the table.
Not long after, Qian Han came in, greeted the emperor, then moved Ye Chang to the table and sat opposite the emperor.
Koizumi tried the dishes in advance, and the emperor started to move his chopsticks.
Ye Chang didn't have much energy, and he ate vegetables slowly, looking like he didn't have a good appetite.
The emperor felt that the dishes of Prince Rong An's Mansion were very appetizing. After eating for a while, he looked up at Ye Chang, "Can't you eat?"
Ye Chang looked sleepy, "There is no activity all day, except eating and sleeping, naturally I have no appetite, you don't have to worry about me."
The emperor nodded, "You can bear it for a few more days, and it will be fine if you can walk around."
Ye Chang nodded, looking extremely uncomfortable.
The emperor asked, "Where's your cousin Ye Xi? After he came to Beijing, I only saw two sides of him. One was when she entered the palace with Su Yatou for the matter of Concubine Yue, and the other was when I was guarding you outside that day." Woke up, saw him, and didn't say anything to him."
Ye Chang said, "When I was in a coma, he sent a letter to my grandfather. After my grandfather received the letter, it is said that he left overnight. Now he is on his way to Beijing, and he should be here soon. After I woke up, he went out of Beijing to pick me up." " After finishing the words, he said again, "After all, he is old and hasn't come to the capital for many years, and he is afraid that something will happen on the way."
The emperor nodded when he heard the words, "It's very dangerous for you to block that slap for me. Su Yatou said to me at that time, do your best and obey the destiny. I'm afraid you won't wake up. It's reasonable for him to send a letter to Ye Gong. Now you After waking up, everyone is happy. Ye Gong has not been to the capital for many years, and this time he just came to Beijing to meet you and stay longer."
Ye Chang nodded.
The emperor said again, "Back then, your father, queen, mother and concubine died in battle. After Su Che brought you back, you were young at that time, and Ye Gong wanted to take you back to Ye's family to raise you, but you are a descendant of the clan after all. Ye, but the blood of the Liu family is flowing in your bones and blood. I think it is wrong, maybe. The Ye family has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and does not like the prosperity of Beijing. Therefore, I promise to Ye Gong that I will protect you when you grow up. After leaving Jiangnan, I will no longer meddle in your affairs."
Ye Chang nodded again.
The emperor said, "Ye Chang, do you blame me for keeping you in the capital and not letting you be taken away by Ye Gong to Ye's house?"
Ye Chang shook his head and said with a smile, "I was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. Although my surname is Ye, as you said, flesh and blood are the roots of the Liu family. These years, I have lived very well in the capital. I am alone in this house. Being the master of the family, going to the Ye family is always dependent on others. Where can I live comfortably in Beijing? What's more, you are protecting me, what am I blaming you for? Thank you before it's too late."
The emperor laughed, and pointed at him, "You little bastard, all these years, everyone said that I doted on you and raised you badly, and I will bear this bad reputation." After saying that, he said, "But you You can be regarded as up-to-date, you have solved the case of Yue Guifei neatly and beautifully, and no one will dare to say that I raised you crookedly and useless."
Ye Chang really lost his appetite, so he simply put down his chopsticks, and said, "I risked it all to save my life, and I almost offended all civil and military courts. However, although it is true that the case of Concubine Yue was solved neatly and beautifully, it is not my fault." The merits of one person. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Wucheng Bingmasi, Fuya, and the Imperial Guards and Imperial Forest Army. Without them, I would be no match for four hands. Maybe my head would have been hanged on the city gate by now. Dry."
The emperor laughed and said to him, "Don't take credit, but have self-knowledge, that's pretty good, I'm very pleased."
Ye Chang pursed his lips, "I have snatched good things from you all these years, so I won't ask for rewards from you, but those adults followed me to solve that case, it was really hard and frightening, don't forget to reward them."
The emperor was amused when he heard the words, "I have already thought about the routine rewards for them, and the imperial decree will be announced tomorrow."
Ye Chang nodded reassuringly, "It's good that you haven't forgotten."
The emperor said to him, "As for your reward, of course there is. After you are healthy, go to the household department."
"The Ministry of Household?" Ye Chang frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Is this a reward? Where is the Ministry of Household? Don't think I don't know. Now that the treasury is empty, the officials of the Ministry of Households have been sad and tired for a long time. , it’s not good, I won’t go.”
The emperor laughed angrily when he heard the words, "Even if the national treasury was a little tight because of the Northern Zhou war, it was not as serious as you said. Why didn't I see the officials of the household department all frowning for a long time? How many people squeezed their heads and wanted to go to the household?" Ministry, but you don’t go? Then tell me, where do you want to go?”
"I don't go anywhere, I'm exhausted to solve a case, I decided that I won't enter the court anymore." Ye Chang said.
The emperor raised his face when he heard the words, "It's a good idea! After you recover from your injuries, I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs." After saying that, he said, "I will give you the posts of walking in the imperial study and superintendent of the Ministry of Households, and you will Give me a good rectification and rectification of the household department."
Ye Chang immediately lay down on the table, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, and said, "I can't recover from this injury, why don't you give me a coffin right now, and I'll just lie in it and forget it."
The emperor laughed and scolded, "You won't even die in such a difficult situation, which proves that life is very hard, so don't tell me such nonsense."
Ye Chang ignored the emperor, still lying on the table and continuing to pretend to be dead.
The emperor looked at him and laughed angrily, "Do you still want to marry the little girl from the Su family? If not, you can just pretend to be dead for me. I will decree tomorrow to marry her to Lin Zhixiao."
