Two strong East Palace guards supported His Highness the Crown Prince, who was reluctantly staying down, and slowly moved forward.
After Zhu Yun returned to Beijing, he ignored everything and focused on taking care of his body. He was carefully cared for by the imperial physician, drank various supplements every day, and was accompanied by his mother, wife and children every day. His health quickly improved. His originally thin face also quickly became plump.
Got up.
In the past two days, I have been able to stay at the small station for a while. With the support of the guards, I can still walk a few steps.
Empress Yuan and Crown Princess Yuan Min both watched nervously.
The imperial doctor said that spending more time in the sun is good for body recovery. So, Zhu Yun left the dormitory today, and the bright sunshine shone on his body, making him feel warm.
Zhu Yun didn't try to be brave. He walked around for a short distance and sat on a chair under the eaves of the corridor. Empress Yuan quickly wiped the sweat from her son's forehead with a handkerchief, and Yuan Min brought warm tea to his mouth.
The thoughtfulness and concern from his mother and wife were warm and hard to refuse. Zhu Yun could only accept it with a smile.
Naughty brother Liang ran around, giggling from time to time. Several palace people followed him, lest His Highness would fall. After a while, Sister Rong was also carried over by the nanny. Sister Rong had a quiet temperament,
He stayed in the nanny's arms obediently, and glanced at Zhu Yun secretly from time to time with his timid eyes.
Zhu Yun's heart softened and he smiled at Sister Rong: "Sister Rong, come to me."
Sister Rong came here every two or three days, but the number of times Zhu Yun took the initiative to talk to her was very rare. At this time, Zhu Yun opened his mouth, and Sister Rong seemed to be frightened. Not only did she refuse to come, she also
He hid in the wet nurse's arms.
Zhu Yun: "..."
Yuan Min took the initiative to step forward, hugged Sister Rong with a smile, and sat next to Zhu Yun. Sister Rong was actually a little afraid of this beautiful and dignified aunt, but she was a well-behaved child, so she sat quietly with Yuan Min
on both knees.
Empress Yuan smiled and said: "Sister Rong, come to the imperial grandmother."
In comparison, Sister Rong was more familiar with her kind and smiling grandmother. She quickly got off Yuan Min's lap and walked to Queen Yuan. Queen Yuan hugged the little Sister Rong and praised with a smile.
: "Sister Rong is so good."
Sister Rong smiled shyly, showing her small baby teeth.
Brother Liang was the most overbearing. He was unhappy when he saw his grandmother hugging his sister. He quickly rushed over and squeezed into Queen Yuan's arms. Queen Yuan laughed and simply hugged her with one arm.
Zhu Yun turned to look at Yuan Min, who pursed her lips and smiled at him.
Since Sister Rong was born, Yuan Min has accepted this concubine and will not mind her. The East Palace is peaceful and peaceful, with chuckles and whispers coming from time to time.
When Emperor Qing'an came to the East Palace, he saw such a picture of peace and tranquility.
Empress Yuan didn't even get up to greet her. She hugged her grandchildren with a smile and said, "Brother Liang, Sister Rong, please call Grandma Huang."
Brother Liang was tall and strong, and his voice was particularly loud: "Grandfather!"
Sister Rong was a little afraid of this grandfather with a cold and majestic face, so she shouted in a low voice and hid her head in Queen Yuan's arms.
Emperor Qing'an didn't know what he thought of, his eyes dimmed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal.
Eunuch Yang on the side felt a little sad. If...the King of Yan had brought the newly born Shen You into the Prince of Yan's palace, and Empress Yuan's kindness and soft-heartedness kept her sad for a while, she would have accepted her like the Crown Princess.
Child!
It's a pity that time can't be repeated, and there is no regret medicine in the world. Everyone has to pay the price for their choices.
The emperor is no exception.
…
Emperor Qing'an looked at Zhu Yun and said, "Are you able to walk around now?"
Zhu Yun responded with a smile: "Yes, I will go out for a walk these two days and bask in the sun before returning to the dormitory. The imperial doctor said that this is conducive to the recovery of the body."
Emperor Qing'an's eyes flashed with relief, and he said warmly: "Okay! Your health has recovered better than expected. It seems that after this year, you will be able to go to court and listen to politics."
Zhu Yun smiled and said: "My son has been bored in the East Palace all day. He is really anxious and can't wait to leave the East Palace tomorrow."
Before Emperor Qing'an could open his mouth, Empress Yuan came over with a smile and a glare: "What's the hurry? We'll wait until the body is fully recovered. Your father is here with you, so you don't need to worry about everything in the court."
Zhu Yun pretended to smile helplessly and said: "I just said it casually, mother, don't be nervous."
Yuan Min pursed her lips and smiled: "My mother feels very sorry for you, so she is particularly nervous and concerned. Don't talk nonsense, lest you make your mother unhappy."
Zhu Yun blinked: "Yes, yes. A son whose mother loves him will always be a child."
Queen Yuan was amused and laughed.
Emperor Qing'an wanted to laugh but couldn't.
A child whose mother loves him is a treasure, but what about a child whose mother doesn't love him and whose father doesn't want him? I can't even think about it. The moment I think about it, my heart will be stabbed hard.
Probably because Emperor Qing'an didn't look good, Queen Yuan was also a little surprised: "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so ugly?"
Emperor Qing'an calmed down and said casually: "It's nothing."
Zhu Yun also looked over: "My son, I heard that my father sent Shen You to leave the capital to serve in the border army."
Zhu Yun was recuperating in the East Palace and did not interfere with the affairs of the court. It was impossible for Zhu Yun not to know about such a big thing as Shen You's departure to the frontier army.
Emperor Qing'an's eyes flashed and he responded calmly: "Yes, the frontier army has lost its courage long ago. I want to reorganize the frontier army. General Meng is unable to do it alone, so I sent Shen You to practice cavalry."
Zhu Yun took a deep look at Emperor Qing'an: "Shen You is indeed a natural-born general. It is perfect for my father to send him to the frontier army."
Emperor Qing'an didn't say much.
As the emperor, he sent his close associates to lead the troops on the border. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the meaning of this move. Yuan Min's eyes were dark, and even Empress Yuan knew that Emperor Qing'an wanted to reduce the military power of the Yuan family.
This topic is really sensitive. Empress Yuan and Yuan Min are not comfortable talking about it.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
After a while, Emperor Qing'an broke the silence: "I came to see you. I am relieved that you are okay. There are still memorials to read in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so I will leave first."
After Emperor Qing'an left, Empress Yuan sighed to Yuan Min: "The Yuan family has been in military power for decades, has many generals, and is too powerful."
Yuan Min whispered: "The Yuan family is loyal, and my father knows it."
Queen Yuan sighed again.
Zhu Yun didn't know what he was thinking and frowned slightly.
Queen Yuan had dinner in the East Palace before returning to Jiaofang Hall.
Yuan Min personally scrubbed and changed Zhu Yun's clothes, and the couple lay on the bed together. Yuan Min asked softly: "What are you thinking about? Why are you frowning all the time?"
The couple is very close and talks about everything.
Zhu Yun turned to look at his wife and said after a while: "Min'er, I feel something is wrong."
"There was no sign at all before, and my father suddenly sent Shen You to leave the capital and go to the border army. Something is wrong with this matter! There must be something wrong!"
