The child's eyes lit up: "Really? Will no one the Empress Dowager doesn't like come?"
"Not even."
"Then Li Chong and the others are allowed to come?"
Li Chong and others have come to greet each other many times, but they are not allowed to enter by Emperor Hongwen.
"Ha, Li Chong is a hero in the rescue of the Empress Dowager. In the future, the father will reward him heavily, and there is no need to visit him..." Emperor Hongwen quietly said, "As soon as they came, they just kept doing it, so I can't get along with Hong.
I'm drinking tea and snacks like this..."
The child was slightly excited: "Yes. It would be better if they didn't come. Father, let's accompany the Queen Mother."
"Yes, it's enough for the Queen Mother to accompany us. No one else needs it. Honger, we'll play chess today..."
"Okay."
After the father and son had a snack, they started playing chess.
The child is still young and learns it for a while, and he can't beat his father. When he reaches the third game, he mutters: "Oh, I'm wrong again... It's great if the empress dowager wakes up, and the empress dowager will tell me what to do.
Walk……"
Emperor Hongwen forced himself to laugh, "I taught the Queen Mother's chess skills, how did she win me?"
"If you don't believe it, don't believe it, Hong'er doesn't believe it. The Queen Mother's chess skills are very good..."
Emperor Hongwen discovered that this child, who could not do anything he could or did not do so well, kept saying that the Empress Dowager said: How beautiful the empress dowager is in the big words; the empress dowager can throw a pot, and the story told by the empress dowager is so nice... The empress dowager played chess
It's amazing... The Queen Mother is an idol anyway.
This child, he admires the Queen Mother so much.
Emperor Hongwen asked his son to take advantage of his inattention. Of course, the child couldn't see it. Seeing that he suddenly beat his father, he was very happy and almost jumped up: "Yeah, I won, Father, Hong'er won..."
"Aha, Hong'er is so powerful. Look, she is even more powerful than her father."
The child had a very happy time, hugged his neck and acted softly and coquettishly: "Father, tell me a story."
Emperor Hongwen hugged him in his arms and touched his soft hair. The child's hair was very soft, which meant that he had a very gentle temper. However, his eyebrows were very thick, and at a young age, he had a bit of a sharp-eyed eyebrow.
It also shows that he is very courageous.
Emperor Hongwen liked him the more he looked at him. He held his hand and the father and son were very intimate.
"Honger, what story do you want to hear?"
"I think about it... the Queen Mother told me many interesting stories... Father, tell me a story about hunting..."
"Okay. My father will tell you a story about a leopard..."
Emperor Hongwen talked about a hunting experience. However, he never told much stories in his life. When he told them, it was neither thrilling nor exciting, nor vivid, and not interesting at all.
The child opened his eyes wide and then was displeased and muttered: "Father, it's not exciting, it's not funny... It's not as good as the Queen Mother..."
Emperor Hongwen laughed: "When the empress dowager is ready, the empress dowager will tell you. Honger, let's play something else? Honger, what else do you want to play?"
“Riding a horse…”
"What is horse riding?"
"Father, don't you know this?" The child tilted his head, "Once, the Empress Dowager and I were playing on the mountainside, and saw a child riding on his father's shoulder..."
"Oh, you're talking about this? I know. You want to play this? It's very simple."
The child showed a embarrassed look on his face: "But, the Queen Mother said, I'm not allowed to play..."
"Why?"
"She said that the father is the emperor, and I am the young prince... The emperor must have the emperor's majesty... cannot play such folk games... Father, can't we play?"
Emperor Hongwen smiled and glanced at Empress Dowager Feng on the bed, then quietly said: "Hong'er, we are playing secretly. The Empress Dowager is asleep. She doesn't know, so don't be afraid."
"Really?"
"real."
Emperor Hongwen squatted down, and the child immediately climbed up to his shoulder and hugged him. Emperor Hongwen learned from the horse and walked around the room. The child had a good time and forgot to whisper and giggled loudly.
: "Father, it's so fun. This is more fun than playing chess."
"From now on, my father will take you to play every day."
The child kissed him loudly on the face: "Father is so good."
Emperor Hongwen smiled and hugged him down: "Hong'er, my father knows many other fun things. From now on, I will teach you one every day."
"Okay."
Emperor Hongwen took his son's hand and quietly said, "Shh, let's see if the empress dowager is awake."
The father and son tiptoed to Fangfei.
At this time, Fangfei leaned against her body.
"Oh, the Queen Mother is awake."
Emperor Hongwen was also very surprised: "Fangfei, are you awake? Do you want to eat something?"
Fangfei opened her eyes and looked blankly at the two people standing by her bed. Her eyes looked down at the hands they were holding intimately.
It seems like a father and son who depend on each other for life.
She felt a little confused and her lips opened slightly.
"Hong'er, Hong'er..."
"Oh my God, Father, look, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother..."
Emperor Hongwen was also anxious: "Come, come quickly..."
A mouthful of blood came out of her mouth. However, the color was not bright red, but dark. This time, all her strength was spent, and her head was tilted on the pillow, as if she could not even open her eyes.
The Taoist priest ran in.
He walked here all day long. When he saw the bloodstains on the handkerchief handed over by Emperor Hongwen, he was also surprised and immediately reached out to take her pulse.
Emperor Hongwen hurriedly asked, "Master, is it serious?"
Taoist master sighed, "The Empress Dowager fell off a cliff a few days ago, and some scars have not recovered; now, she has encountered such poisonous attacks again, so she has been attacked internally and externally for many years, and has suffered a lot of damage, both inside and outside.
.”
Emperor Hongwen was anxious: "Master, what should I do?"
"I can only rest well. I must not ask her to be stimulated by any kind of stimulation." "No problem, I will never let her be stimulated by any kind of stimulation again."
"Please give the empress dowager the medicine for this day first."
Emperor Hongwen personally brought the medicine bowl and fed her spoonfuls of them. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she could not open it even with all her strength.
But when I finished the medicine, maybe I had some strength to hold my son's hand. After a while, my hand loosened and fell into a daze again.
She was sometimes awake and sometimes confused for half a month. However, she rarely spoke. Even if she spoke, she could only call Honger twice. Other people or things seemed to not care about them at all, and she didn't want to know them.
What exactly are you doing?
Emperor Hongwen stayed in Cining Palace all day and night, and also read memorials to deal with matters during the day; most of the rest of the time, he accompanied them all with their mother and son.
At dusk that day, she suddenly became a little awake. Emperor Hongwen happened to come in from outside and talked and laughed with his son. When he saw her open his eyes wide, the father and son immediately ran over happily.
"Fangfei, are you finally awake?"
His hand, holding her hand tightly.
Fangfei looked at him closely, and this time she recognized him very clearly. After a while, she said lightly: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you for something..."
The first thing she said when she woke up was to ask for herself.
"Fangfei, you said!"
"Your Majesty, please depose Hong'er!"
Emperor Hongwen was silent for a moment, but still had a smile on his face: "Fangfei, you are too tired, rest first, okay? What do you want to eat? Look, everything you like is here..."
Fangfei didn't look at the dazzling array of supplements and food at all, but just stared at his eyes: "Your Majesty, promise me!"
Emperor Hongwen's heart was like a knife cut.
If you agree, how can you agree?
"His Majesty……"
The child was uneasy and quietly jumped over her hand, while she whispered in her ear: "Empress Dowager, please take a break first, is Hong'er okay to feed you food?"
Fangfei's eyes turned dark, as if endless fatigue came again, like a person who could never wake up. He was lying in bed all day long, and finally completely exhausted his last effort.
But Hong'er can't be the prince!
This is the only thing she was worried about. No matter what, Hong'er cannot be the prince.
