Carriages are not allowed to enter the palace gate, and it takes a stick of incense to walk from the nearest palace gate to Shoukang Palace. Lu Zhishan's current situation, it is really inappropriate to enter the palace in a sedan chair, and it is to pay homage to the Queen Mother's birthday, let alone sit in it. Get out of the sedan chair, so as not to be accused of being disrespectful and unfilial.
"Nonsense, this is the Queen Mother's sixty-sixth birthday. I am the Queen Mother's eldest grandson, and I am in the capital. How can I not enter the palace?" Lu Zhishan gritted his teeth, sat on the round stool, exhaled, and rested for a long time. Then he said to Song Fu, "Go and get me a new ointment."
"Yes," Song Fu was so busy that he took a new patch of ointment from the room and put it on Lu Zhishan, complaining at the same time, "The Imperial Hospital is too perfunctory now. The ointments prescribed this year have not changed. The prince , let me ask the doctor from outside to come into the house to look at your injuries, it is not an option after all. "
"I left the imperial doctor unused, but invited doctors from outside to spread the news to the palace. What do others think?" Lu Zhishan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Is it because the imperial doctor is not good at medical skills?"
"But I'm really afraid of delaying the prince's injury," Song Fu looked helpless, and suddenly added, "Last year, when the weather was cold, the prince's leg disease relapsed, and the ointment sent by the prince was better, so why not I want you to go to Heshuogong’s mansion to ask for more?”
Lu Zhishan said seriously: "Go ahead and tell me that no one from the Prince's Palace is allowed to have rash contact with the people from Princess Heshuo's Palace."
Song Fu could only nod in agreement, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Lu Zhishan got dressed and was about to go out, when he saw an unfamiliar little eunuch coming in. The little eunuch came in and saluted Lu Zhishan, and then said: "The Queen Mother heard that the king's leg disease has relapsed, and she couldn't bear to let the king hurt her on his behalf." Enter the palace. You don’t have to enter the palace today. You can just rest at home."
The little eunuch's voice was deep and rough, but not as high-pitched and harsh as the ordinary father-in-law.
Lu Zhishan was startled: "Is this what the Queen Mother meant?"
The little eunuch smiled softly and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother feels sorry for you, the Prince, and she specifically said this when she had breakfast with Lord Long Live. This servant is here to send a message to the Queen Mother."
Lu Zhishan's heart sank. He had been back in Beijing for a year, and his father was still unwilling to see him. Now he was not even willing to allow him, the eldest prince, to attend such occasions as the Queen Mother's sixty-sixth birthday.
After the little eunuch left, Lu Zhishan had been sitting stiffly in the room. He waited for Song Fu to enter the palace and delivered birthday gifts. When he came back, he saw Lu Zhishan still sitting stiffly. Song Fu felt sad and walked over to comfort him: "Prince. It’s okay if you don’t go, it’s so cold now that your leg injury will get aggravated, so go in quickly, it’s going to snow soon.”
Lu Zhishan didn't say anything and went to the study while holding on to the wall. Song Fu couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Zhishan didn't leave the study room all day. In the evening, when Song Fu brought dinner in again, he looked at the untouched lunch on the table and couldn't help feeling sad again. He gave the lunch to He withdrew, laid out the dinner, and begged Lu Zhi: "Prince, please have some at least. Even though you have a strong body, you can't withstand a few meals without eating."
Lu Zhishan waved his hands irritably, but before he could speak, he saw the young man running in in a panic: "To inform the prince, there is news from the palace that Long live the Lord wants to see the prince immediately."
Lu Zhishan and Song Fu were both startled. Lu Zhishan immediately got up and limped outside. Song Fu realized what he was doing and was so busy that he took a cloak and put it on Lu Zhishan.
