The whole person became thinner, but the timidity in his eyes disappeared, replaced by coldness and alienation.
On this day, he came to the queen's palace to pay his respects. The queen looked at him and said, "Look at how thin you are. You need to ask them to give you a good make-up."
"My son is no longer seriously injured. Besides, his body will not heal in a day, so there is no need for the queen to worry too much." The prince's tone was respectful, but not affectionate.
The queen was particularly happy about this, and her tone was more attentive than usual: "Yes, you have just recovered, and your spleen and stomach can't bear too much yet, so you have to take it slow.
Tell those who are following you to be careful and use whatever you want to eat. You can come to my palace to get it, but you must use the best."
"My son, I don't need anything. Mother, please don't ask anyone to send it to you. Besides, I don't eat meat now. I just feel that the smell of mutton is too strong." The prince refused bluntly, "I have already made everyone in front of me vegetarian.
Anyone who eats meat will feel sick if he comes near me."
"Okay, being a vegetarian is also a good thing. Your Majesty is a vegetarian all year round." The queen nodded and said yes, but unconsciously leaned back, "I will ask them to prepare a vegetarian table later, and you can eat here.
Bar."
"My son, I still have some unfinished homework, and I have to ask Shaobao and others for advice." The prince said and stood up, "There is no need for the queen to give you food. My son and his masters have finished eating together, and they still have to continue studying!
"
The queen originally wanted to persuade him not to work too hard, but after meeting the prince's eyes, she changed her words: "My mother is very pleased that you are working so hard. Your Majesty will definitely be happy to know that."
"It's good that the queen is happy." The prince seemed to smile and said, "My son, I have resigned."
After the prince left, the queen was silent for a long time, and then she sighed quietly.
"I think you are a little tired, why don't you lean over for a while?" Liang Jing said from the side.
"Alas, I don't know when this child will grow up." The queen's tone was one part sad, one part happy, and one part unbelievable. "Previously, I was just worried that he was weak and playful, and I didn't know when he would really grow up.
Now that I see him like this, I feel sad again."
"The prince has always understood the painstaking efforts of the empress." Liang Jing said, "This illness can be regarded as a disaster for the prince!"
"Well, I was forced to have no choice but to take this strong medicine. Doesn't the book say that you will die and live again?" The queen said, "He will be the emperor in the future, how can he be kind-hearted and soft-faced?
?He may blame me now, but in ten, twenty, or thirty years, he will definitely understand my painstaking efforts.
The most important thing when you are born into an emperor's family is to learn to be ruthless, otherwise you will be eaten to pieces."
"The empress has great love for the prince, and she is definitely not an ordinary mother who only cares about her." Du Juan said from the side, "You are not only raising a son, but also training a future king for Daxia. Such a burden is not something that ordinary people can bear.
, that is, only a person with such a broad mind and vision as you, my empress, can have such a foresight."
"Only you and the people before me can understand my thoughts." The queen smiled bitterly, "I don't ask anyone to understand me. As long as it is recorded in the history books that my son is not a foolish king, I will be satisfied."
"Your Majesty, you are too humble. I ascended the throne when Emperor Taizong was fifteen years old and have been the emperor for seventy years. It was not because of Queen Mother Xiaomin's hard work that we achieved the prosperous age of Hongtai."
He said to himself, "Mother, you are worse than the Queen Mother Xiaomin."
"It's done, please stop flattering me! I still know how much I weigh. There is no way to compare with the sages. I just do my best, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault." Although the queen
Even though I said this, I was still very happy in my heart.
The queen was still touched by her painstaking efforts, but the prince had already walked out of Ronghua Palace with a cold face.
His steps were fast and he looked straight ahead instead of looking left and right like before.
The people who followed also lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to show any signs of neglect.
The prince has become a changed person since he recovered from his illness.
He is no longer as easy-going and easy to serve as before, and he has personally dismissed several helpless servants.
Some of them were quite respectable old men, and the prince showed no mercy at all.
On the way to the East Palace, we had to pass by Taiye Pond. Along the way, the eunuchs and maids saluted the prince one after another, but the prince ignored them.
At this time, a black cat jumped out from the nearby bushes and rushed directly to the prince's feet.
The people who followed quickly yelled, fearing that the cat would scratch the prince.
The cat had no intention of committing murder at all, but rubbed against the prince's feet very affectionately.
Two little palace maids rushed over and knelt down, and the black cat ran towards one of them.
"Is she the girl who holds the cat for the tenth princess?" The person next to the prince asked, "Take care of the cat. What if it scares His Highness?"
Lin Fufei lowered his head and held the cat in his arms: "This slave has neglected his duty. Please atone for your sins, Your Highness."
She knew that the prince was sick, so she was naturally worried. But she was not of high status and had no chance to visit him.
She didn't even dare to take the initiative to inquire. She could only hear about the prince's situation from Ma Cairen and others.
I didn't expect to meet the prince here by chance today. It seems that the prince's illness has really recovered.
The prince didn't even look at him, but said coldly: "It's just a furry beast, nothing about it scared me.
But remember to tell these irrelevant people to stay away from me in the future, so as not to block the way of His Highness."
Lin Fufei and others were driven aside. It was not until the prince and his entourage disappeared that they slowly stood up.
"Let's hide more from now on! Our master's status is too low now, so don't look for trouble any more." The little palace maid who was traveling with him said to Lin Fufei.
Lin Fufei just nodded and said nothing.
"Don't you think so? The prince seems to be different now than before." The little palace maid looked at no one before and after her and whispered to Lin Fufei, "He was always talking and laughing when he saw us before.
They told us to kneel down. Now the prince’s score is really coming out, it’s really scary.”
Lin Fufei still didn't speak. She just turned her head slightly and looked at the rockery not far away.
Not long ago, she and the prince were secretly hiding inside, talking and eating, and he promised that he would rectify the case for the Lin family after he ascended the throne.
A gust of wind blew by, and the wisteria leaves on the rockery trembled, like an intimate whisper at that time.
There was no injustice in her heart, it was just that, she was the prince and she was just a maidservant, the daughter of a guilty minister.
But she was still sad, and it wasn't for herself.
She didn't believe that an illness could change the prince. She was convinced that the kind and gentle prince was still there, but he had to put on a mask that was difficult to take off.
