MTL - First Prince of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 699 surrender
Chapter 699 Surrender
"Grand...Grandpa, get up and eat some food."
The familiar and soft voice awakened Zhu Biao, who had slept for more than three hours, and his consciousness gradually returned. When he opened his eyes slightly, he felt that the light was too bright, presumably it was noon.
"Why are you still back? Where is Yang Er Liang Er?"
Having said that, Chang Luohua's return is not an accident. No husband is sick and the wife stays at her mother's house. This is not the case in ordinary families, let alone Tian's family. They are husband and wife , but also monarchs and ministers.
Chang Luohua doesn't come here today, I'm afraid there will be impeachment at the Censor Conference tomorrow, and the emperor who has not yet returned to Beijing will be dissatisfied when he hears about it.
Chang Luohua took the warm towel from the maid behind him, gently wiped his husband's face and replied: "The child is staying in the palace, and I will ask someone to pick it up tomorrow. Do you feel okay? The imperial physician Just waiting outside the door."
Humid tropics, the petal-scented towel is very comfortable to apply on the face. Some remaining drowsiness is dispelled, and the spirit is lifted. It is rare that such a relaxed mind can work again.
Liu Jin stepped forward to help the princess to sit up the prince, quickly put the couch pillow behind his back, then turned around and waved, and immediately someone came up with several small tables and placed them in front of the bed.
In just a few moments, several exquisite dining tables were filled with all kinds of dishes, most of which Zhu Biao likes to eat on weekdays, but the imperial chef specially asked the chef to cook them lightly, using less meaty ingredients than usual.
The crown prince is sick, so naturally it is impossible to be frugal, and on the table at the back, there are all kinds of nutritious products, and the ingredients are all tributes that are hard to change. This is not made by the imperial chef. It's a medicated diet that several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital spent more than two hours agreeing to make.
The aroma of food stimulated gastrointestinal peristalsis and made people move their index fingers. Zhu Biao sat down and felt his body. The feeling of groggy was much better than this morning, but his limbs were still a little weak and he didn't want to move.
Sun Shouzhen from the imperial hospital came in to see him again, took his pulse after saluting, then turned around and walked to the dining table, ordered a few dishes to be taken away, and then went to the medicinal meal table and told Liu Jin carefully what to use first, and how much to use for each dish better.
Liu Jin has an excellent photographic memory and excellent memory, which is well known in the palace, so after explaining it carefully, Sun Shouzhen withdrew. It's reassuring to watch for yourself.
Without Zhu Biao's pointing or saying anything, Liu Jin offered the dishes he wanted to eat to the Crown Princess, and then the Crown Princess fed them to the Crown Prince with her own hands.
After all, Liu Jin can be said to be the person who has been with Zhu Biao for the longest time in the world. Since entering the Wu Palace in the 24th year of Zhizheng, it can be said that they have been together day and night for so many years and have never left a single step.
Zhu Biao ate half full, leaving some stomach for herbal diet. Looking at the precious ginseng with distinct roots in the bowl, it was inevitable that he felt distressed. Such a size and specification are rare even in the palace.
How much can Zhu Biao use up for several courses of herbal diet? What's more, the imperial physician was also afraid of over nourishing, so he ordered one meal to be three mouthfuls at most, so there is still a lot left.
Chang Luohua handed the bowl back to Liu Jin and said, "Ordinary dishes are fine. The ingredients in these medicinal meals are precious. Take it and ask the imperial physician if there is no problem, then send it to Wang Liangdi and Nuanyu."
"No."
Since each dish is served in a separate spoon bowl, there is no fear of getting sick, not to mention that the crown prince is not suffering from any contagious disease.
In order to prevent the medicinal properties from contradicting the imperial physician's decoction, it would take half an hour before using it, Chang Luohua adjusted the pillow behind her husband and said: "Lu'er, Lin'an and the others have been waiting in the side hall for almost two hours. See you soon?"
"What about the second child?"
"The concubine was afraid that they would make too much noise, so she asked the princes to go back to school first. Now I heard that the master woke up, and I guess he will be here soon. The concubines in the harem have also been sending people to greet them."
"Well, let Luer Lin'an and the others come in."
Soon, a group of princesses came in under the guidance of Liu An. Zhu Lu jumped over the elder sister and rushed to the bed and asked anxiously: "Brother, do you feel pain? Did you drink the medicine obediently?"
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and pinched the younger sister's face, saying: "It doesn't hurt, I've taken the medicine, you have to remember to wear more clothes these days, you know?"
The rest of the princesses don't dare to overstep. They are younger sisters, but they are not direct sisters. If there is only the eldest brother, they might dare to be a little more casual, but they dare not in front of the sister-in-law.
"Chenmei and others see the emperor's brother and sister-in-law. May the emperor be safe forever."
Zhu Biao looked at all the cute and well-behaved sisters and always smiled happily: "Don't give up, Liu Jin will get the embroidery stool and some newly made pastries."
"No."
My younger sisters, the older ones are fine. Zhu Biao used to lead and coax them to play when he was not busy in the early years, but those younger sisters did not have this opportunity. When the eldest brother spoke, he ran out of words after a few greetings.
Fortunately, with Lin'an's help, the brothers and sisters have become acquainted a lot. Zhu Biao doesn't have to be busy with government affairs today, and the time is not tight, so naturally he has more patience. It is also very relaxing to talk with his sisters. Everyone appreciates it A lot of interesting gadgets.
The living conditions of the princesses need not be said, but the rules in the palace are always restrictive for children. Except for Zhu Lu, even the younger ones seem to be more sensible.
Said that there was time for a few cups of tea, the second and fifth led the younger brothers to the outside of the hall, Lin'an were all big girls, so naturally it was not easy to get together with the brothers, so they led the little princesses back.
The two sides greeted each other outside the hall and parted ways after a brief exchange of words. Zhu Xi led the younger brothers into the hall to salute. After the simple greeting, the brothers had nothing to say.
Zhu Biao told the younger ones to study hard and listen to what the master said as usual, and then let them retreat. Before leaving, Zhu Biao said: "Brother, I heard that the third child is coming back today, and my younger brother wants to go out of the city to meet him."
Zhu Biao also almost forgot about it: "Go, you two were inseparable before, but this time you have been separated for quite some time."
"Brother Xie, the younger brother will retire first."
"Um."
………
After Zhao Ting'er wrote the last stroke correctly, she almost fell down and her wrists were a little swollen. When she heard that His Highness was ill this morning, she replaced the "Nv Commandment" she had copied with "Pharmacist Liuliguang Tathagata's Original Vow Merit Sutra" .
Pushed away the maid who came to help her: "You immediately sorted out the scriptures I copied and sent them to the Crown Princess, and said that I will continue to copy scriptures in the next few days to pray for His Royal Highness."
The maid hesitated for a moment and said: "Chengwei, I'm afraid this will offend Di Liang?"
Zhao Ting'er didn't speak, but frowned slightly. If she hadn't brought this man from her natal family, he would be loyal, but she would have driven him away a long time ago. It's stupid to look forward and backward, and it's easy to do bad things in the palace.
Being afraid of the future and still living to do what you want, wanting to win favor but not offending others, how can there be such a good thing in this world, unless it is like that clay sculpture, otherwise no matter what you do, you will offend Li Yan, it's just a matter of time.
The reason she was so eager to copy the scriptures was not to win the favor of the crown prince, but to take this opportunity to win the favor of the crown princess. Only when she was accepted by the crown princess would she have the opportunity to climb up step by step against the pressure of Li Yan , Fight for glory for yourself, your family, and your future children.
The prince seems warm but cold, she never thought of relying on the prince's favor to ascend to the throne, unless there is some very special opportunity, otherwise the hope is too slim, the more she strives for performance, the more likely she will be rejected, she knew this early on up.
So she chose the Crown Princess. Li Yan can't tolerate people at all, but the Crown Princess can, especially when Emperor Liang is powerful, the Crown Princess must also need someone to contend with Li Yan. She who offered to send her to the door should not be rejected. That's right.
