Sick Man Turns Out to be a General - C254
The next day, after breakfast, they set out for Beijing.
On the way back to Beijing, Yan Chengqi often talked to Yan Chengli and inquired about the use of the emperor’s permission to return to Beijing. Yan Chengli sent him away with a lot of money.
It took five days to get from the imperial mausoleum to the capital. Because Yan Chengqi was not feeling well and the snow on the road was not melting, they took a few more breaks and returned to the capital in seven and a half days.
Yan Chengqi was sent back to the palace. Yan Chengli rushed into the palace and reported the situation to the emperor.
The new year will be celebrated in a few days. This is the first new year after his son was born. He doesn’t want him to work hard on such a commemorative day.
After reporting the situation to the emperor, Yan Chengli made a request after careful consideration, “the new year is coming soon, and the children’s ministers hope to have a stable new year.”
The emperor’s eyes flashed cold, and his eyes looked at Yan Chengli indifferently, “what do you think I will do?” The emperor’s tone was cold, with a palpable irritation.
Yan Chengli slightly lowered his head and knelt on the ground, “I don’t know.”
The emperor looked at his son kneeling on the ground, but still arrogant. He tightened his eyebrows for a long time, then slowly unfolded.
“The officials sent to investigate haven’t heard anything. What are you worried about? Or what do you know? ” Indifferent eyes seem to be able to see through the hearts of the people, the emperor staring at Yan Chengli, raised a sneer.
Yan Chengli didn’t admit it or deny it. He was so upright and kneeling with unshakable firmness in his eyes.
The emperor looked at it and suddenly laughed. He seemed very happy. Yan Chengli didn’t understand. He looked at the emperor and heard the emperor say, “get up first.”
He got up, and two eunuchs immediately moved a chair for him. He looked into the emperor’s eyes quietly and saw his face as usual and smiling. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
“Tomorrow, you and your husband and wife will take lin’er into the palace to accompany the queen. She has seen lin’er twice since she was born. I know it’s cold recently. You should dress your child up and take him into the palace for a few days. You can come back to the palace after new year’s Eve.”
When he was old, he also wanted to enjoy the family happiness of his children and grandchildren. “Take Qinghe with me. I haven’t seen that girl for a long time. I don’t know if she still remembers me?”
King Jing nodded and said, “my son knows.”
The emperor was pleased to smile and shout, “Li Dehai.”
“The servant is here.” Li Dehai bowed respectfully and handed a box to the emperor.
The emperor took the golden box with a giant dragon in his hand, caressed it with a warm smile, and seemed to be immersed in good memories.
“Take this box back. This is my gift to lin’er.”
The Emperor gave the box to Yan Chengli, “OK, you go back.”
Yan accepted the gift and gave thanks and put the box away.
Li Dehai sent him out of the imperial study. At the door, he whispered to him: “Your Highness, your majesty has been overworked in recent days. He has fainted several times. The grand doctor said that his Majesty’s health is not as good as before. If you are free, you can often accompany your Majesty, even if you are sitting with him for a while, your majesty, he…”
Li Dehai opened his mouth. After a long time, he sighed, “it’s getting late. Your highness should go back quickly, so as not to worry the princess.”
Yan Chengli was a little curious about what Li Dehai had not finished. But he could see that Li Dehai didn’t want to continue to say it. He thought about it in his heart and didn’t ask questions.
As soon as he left the imperial study, Yan Chengli was stopped by the imperial concubine Zheng who came to hear the wind.
As soon as she saw Yan Chengli, she rushed to catch him and asked eagerly, “what’s the matter with the second prince? How is he, my emperor? ”
In a hurry, she even forgot to call her concubine and called herself me directly.
Since ancient times, men and women should avoid suspicion even if they are nominally “mother and son”.
Yan Chengli’s eyes were slightly restrained. He looked at Zheng Guifei, who was holding his clothes tightly. He knew that she was worried about her son, so he was so impolite.
But in the palace, this kind of behavior is really not appropriate. If people with the intention take the opportunity to spread rumors, then their reputation will be all over the world.
Yan Chengli pushed Zheng Guifei aside without a trace. The aunt next to him also realized that she had taken part in her behavior. She pulled her apart. “Empress, please calm down first and listen to his highness Jing slowly. The second Royal Highness’s lucky person has his own natural appearance, and will certainly be ok.”
Yan Chengli was pondering whether he should tell the truth or not. When he heard his aunt’s words, he opened his mouth and said, “there is no worry about the life of the two emperor’s younger brothers.”
On hearing this, Princess Zheng did not feel relieved. Instead, she became red in her eyes and rushed to fight Yan Chengli. She also said, “what is life without worry? Did he get hurt somewhere? Did you hurt him… ”
“I knew you were not at ease. Would you be so kind to pick up my emperor’s son? You just want to take the opportunity to harm him, you want to take the opportunity to get rid of him and become a prince again He is your brother. Why are you so cruel… ”
Zheng Guifei suddenly burst into a frenzy of laughter, which is like a mad dog everywhere biting big appearance, where there is a trace of dignified and virtuous?Yan Chengli looks at her this appearance, the eyebrow tighter and tighter, like a mess.
Let the imperial concubine Li De report to the emperor immediately.
Zheng Guifei believes that Yan Chengli is the key to her son. She looks at Yan Chengli with a blade in her eyes.
The little eunuch soon came back with the emperor’s instructions. He came to Li Dehai’s ear and said a few words in a whisper. Li Dehai immediately said, “lady, the emperor wants you to go to the imperial study. Please come with us.”
Imperial concubine Zheng gave Yan Chengli a look, hesitated for a long time, and then left with Li Dehai.
Yan Chengli smoothed the clothes on his body, and the cold light in his sharp eyes was as cold as ice. If it wasn’t easy to get into trouble by beating the imperial concubine, he just took care of her.
After a while, Deng Zi, who was waiting on the Queen’s side, rushed over and said that the queen was invited.
The queen was lying on the beauty couch and asked the maids to beat her back and legs for her. Seeing Yan Chengli come in, she immediately waved back the people around her, got up, took Yan Chengli’s hand, and looked at his face painfully.
“Did that woman hurt you?” The palace is full of empress’s eyeliner. She knows everything about the palace. There are things she does not bother to manage. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t know.
Yan Chengli knew that what happened outside the imperial study would soon spread. He frowned, turned his head and said with a smile: “it’s OK. The mother doesn’t have to bear it.”
“This palace is the queen of your mother, and she is always worried about you.” The queen stretched out her hand and smoothed the folds on his clothes and pulled him to sit down. “It’s Spring Festival. Don’t run outside all the time. Spend more time at home with the princess and the children. The Empress Dowager doesn’t like to care for her children and grandchildren.”
Knowing that the queen meant to raise herself, Yan Chengli nodded respectfully, “the weather is getting colder and colder. The empress mother should take good care of her body.”
“The palace has its own discretion.” The queen patted the back of his hand. “Speaking of the weather, we talked to Aunt Xiuping a few days ago. It seems that this year is a little colder than last year, but fortunately, there is no major disaster. It’s lucky.
“It’s really lucky, but thanks to the fact that officials all over the country are worried about the sudden change of weather this year, they have taken early precautions to avoid the occurrence of a catastrophe.”
Yan Chengli talked to the queen for a while, and only when the queen knew that he would take his wife and children to live in the palace for a few days tomorrow, she would happily send him to speak.
Out of the palace, Yan Chengli went directly back to the house.
Princess Jing learned that he came back today and cooked a table of good dishes.
“How can you cook yourself? How hard is it? ” Yan Chengli held his wife’s hand and shook his head in disapproval, “you are not in good health, so don’t be so upset.”
Hearing Yan Chengli’s words of concern, Princess Jing smiles with shame and says, “it’s just to make some home cooked dishes. It’s OK. Don’t be so nervous. OK, just sit down and have a meal.”
After a meal, Yan Chengli took out the box given by the emperor, “this is what the father gave to lin’er, you should put it away first, and then give this to lin’er when he is bigger.”
“What is this?” Princess Jing opened the box curiously and found that there was a jade pendant carved from white jade of the order of Yangyue, with a small “Duan” carved on it.
When Yan Chengli saw the word “Duan”, he widened his eyes in amazement. When he was young, he heard the Empress Dowager mention it. He said that when the emperor was granted the title of “Duan”, it was given to him by the first emperor, and his title “Duan” was engraved on it.
This jade pendant is of great significance to the emperor. He always wears it with him. Unless he takes a bath, he will never leave his body. Now he gives it to lin’er. What’s the purpose of this?
“Lord, what’s the matter?” Seeing that Yan Chengli’s expression was not correct, Princess Jing asked and closed the box. It was a reward given by the emperor. No matter what the intention or the value, it must be kept well. Otherwise, your Majesty would ask about its whereabouts on a whim, and did not know how to deal with it. Yan Chengli did not tell her the origin of the jade pendant, but told her seriously, “this jade pendant must be put away, Don’t lose it. ”
Seeing Yan Chengli’s serious and cautious attitude, Princess Jing has a few more hearts. What can make the prince so nervous must be very valuable. She will definitely put it away.
The second prince’s affairs did not affect the life of the prefecture. On this day, Chuang Tzu, who was in charge of Shen Jingli, slaughtered sheep and pigs and sent a whole sheep and a whole pig to the prefectural palace. It happened that people moved the hotpot out of the warehouse and cleaned it carefully. Shen Jingli decided to make mutton hotpot tonight and invited Xu yanlinfu to share it.
Xu Yanlin is a hidden food, but also loves to drink, while washing mutton, pulling Mu Chen to drink, but also rambling about some incoherent words.
Mu Chen was in a good mood today, so he said that he raised his glass to drink with the cold wind.
It’s really enjoyable to eat hot pot and drink wine on a cold winter day. Shen Jingli, Zhao Wenrui and Nan Jiyun sit together and listen to Nan Jiyun talking about the northwest and drink a little wine. He feels that this winter is also very comfortable.
