In the always quiet Qingwang Palace, the maids and maids came and went in a hurry, holding plates and dishes in their hands.
The cases in front of Cheng Jiaoniang are full of exquisite details.
Prince Jin'an was still thinking and giving orders.
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't say anything. No matter what was put on the table, she would taste it seriously.
"Don't hold on to it if you can't eat it." Prince Jin'an said with a smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Which one you like, let someone put it on and take it back." Prince Jin'an said happily again.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded again, and reached out her hand to light the desks without any politeness.
"This, this, and this," she said.
The palace maids and servants on the side looked sideways, unable to conceal their surprise.
This little lady... is so rude.
The prince of Jin'an County happily called for people to pretend, and asked repeatedly whether King Qing was awake.
The two chamberlains hurriedly turned around to take a look.
"Your Highness has never spoken so many words to anyone in a year..."
They whispered.
"When did you return to Jiangzhou?"
In the palace, Prince Jin'an's words continued.
"A year ago." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The prince of Jin'an County said.
"What a shame about your brother," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and said thank you.
I don't know whether to thank him for his greetings at this time or for his help this time, or both, Prince Jin'an smiled again.
"Prince Qing is here."
When people outside reported that the Prince of Jin'an County stood up hurriedly, he watched Prince Qing coming in, rubbing his eyes reluctantly, being pulled by his chamberlain.
"Brother Six, come and look, Mrs. Cheng is here." He smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Prince Qing.
Prince Qing didn't even recognize him, so he didn't recognize Mrs. Cheng. He muttered a few words and sat down on the ground, reaching out to grab some food on the table.
The prince of Jin'an County allowed him to do as he pleased while looking at Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Look, he's grown taller after more than a year, right?" he asked with a smile, showing off a little.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at Prince Qing seriously and nodded.
"I've grown taller," she said.
"It's just that I'm still too fat." Prince Jin'an said, looking at Prince Qing who was eating heavily.
The room was quiet for a while, and only the vague sounds of Prince Qing's humming and haha could be heard.
The chamberlain standing on one side had looked at Prince Jin'an several times, but saw that he was either talking to Mrs. Cheng about eating or drinking, or looking at Prince Qing and Cheng Jiaoniang smiling, but never said anything that should be said.
He raised his head and saw that the waiter outside the door had taken a slight step forward and exposed half of his body by the door.
Can't wait any longer.
"Your Highness, we are leaving now." He took a step forward and whispered, "You talk to Mrs. Cheng."
Prince Jin'an stiffened and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't seem to hear the waiter's words, she still lowered her head quietly and ate the pastries and tea fruits on the table.
He has never seen anyone eat food so seriously, as if he has never eaten before, focused and in awe...
What she eats is not food, but her mind.
Just like when I was a child, my father, mother, and father would put delicious food in front of their brothers and sisters during festivals and festivals, with full love.
Although I don’t remember a few times, it’s still better than her.
She probably didn't even once.
People in the palace began to file out, and the sound of footsteps brought Prince Jin'an back to his senses.
"Wait a minute," he said.
The chamberlain who was walking at the front stiffened and stopped, and everyone also stopped.
"Ms. Cheng, it's been more than a year. Do you think Prince Qing's illness can be cured now?" Prince Jin'an asked.
Cheng Jiaoniang put down the chopsticks in her hand and raised her head.
"He is not sick," she said, "so there is no way to say whether it can be cured or not."
Prince Jin'an nodded and sighed.
"Okay, I understand." He said.
Cheng Jiaoniang saluted.
"The civilian girl resigned," she said.
Prince Jin'an nodded without saying a word, watching Cheng Jiaoniang slowly exiting, slowly disappearing from his sight, as if he would never see her again...
He watched without blinking, and suddenly he saw the woman who was walking to the door stop, raised her head and looked at him, smiled slightly, and moved her lips.
Fang Bocong, don't be sad.
Prince Jin'an sat up straight suddenly, and his breathing seemed to stop for a moment.
Cheng Jiaoniang stepped over the threshold, turned around and walked away.
After King Qing finished eating, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and got up and ran out to play. The maids and maids followed him, and the palace instantly became quiet.
Looking at Prince Jin'an who had been sitting still and seemed to be frozen, the chamberlain stepped forward and knelt down.
"This slave has taken it upon himself to plead guilty." He kowtowed and said.
"Si'er, I know you are kind-hearted and it's for my own good." Prince Jin'an said.
"Your Highness." The chamberlain raised his head with an emotional expression.
"But what does it mean to be good for me?" Prince Jin'an interrupted him, his eyes falling on him, "What I think is good is what is good for me."
The waiter's face turned pale and he leaned over.
"There are thousands of ways to do things, it doesn't have to be hurt..." Prince Jin'an said, looking outside the door, where Cheng Jiaoniang was no longer visible, "The person you care about."
Fang Bocong, don't be sad.
The smile on Prince Jin'an's face spread again.
Good risk, good risk, lucky, lucky.
In the Queen Mother's Palace, the imperial concubine looked out from time to time.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Prince Qing to come here so that we can learn how to diagnose and treat him? We don't know what you are talking about in hiding," she said.
"Prince Qing is asleep. How could Weilang be willing to wake him up and drag him all this way, only to be startled and stared at by those blind things on the way." The Queen Mother said, "What do you mean by hiding? This is true.
What is there to hide and hide?"
The imperial concubine snorted in her heart and was startled...
With Prince Jin'an here, whoever in the palace dares to be surprised by this fool will be labeled as someone who dislikes Prince Qing and be beaten half to death.
While he was talking, a servant came in quickly.
"Replying to Madam Cheng, the prince said that Madam Cheng still cannot be cured." He bowed and lowered his head.
The Queen Mother sighed and sat up.
"Really?" she asked.
The imperial concubine also asked with the same expression.
"Yes, I was outside the door at that time. I clearly heard the Duke's inquiry. Mrs. Cheng said that Prince Qing was not ill, so it was impossible to say whether he could be cured or not," the chamberlain replied.
"How do you say you are not sick?" the imperial concubine asked.
The chamberlain did not answer her, but the Queen Mother answered first.
"When Wei Lang took Sixth Brother to find her, that's what she said. She said that Sixth Brother was stupid, not sick, let alone dying, so she couldn't cure him if she didn't treat him." She said, sighing,
With a sad look on his face, "Where is Weilang?"
"His Royal Highness said that he wanted to see Prince Qing and would not come to answer the question in person. He also hopes that the Queen will forgive you," the chamberlain said.
"Look, I've been hit again." The Queen Mother said, sighing again.
The imperial concubine sighed a few times and said some words of relief before she stood up and walked out. Her brows furrowed as she walked out of the Queen Mother's palace.
"Really?" she asked.
Just now, the chamberlain bowed and cautiously stepped forward with a bit of a smile.
"I don't dare to hide it from your Majesty. I am listening and watching in person. It is indeed what I said. After Mrs. Cheng said it, the people in the county and the king are not good. Now they are still sitting in the palace without seeing anyone." He said.
The imperial concubine pursed her lips and thought for a moment without saying anything.
"Then..." she said, looking in the direction of Prince Qing's palace, "What if I get sick?"
"If you are sick, it is a disease that needs to be treated. Being stupid is not a disease."
Gao Lingbo, who was summoned, shook his head after listening to the concubine's story.
"My dear, you are worrying too much."
"Don't you believe that Prince Jin'an and Mrs. Cheng are not telling the truth?" the imperial concubine asked, "Can intentional deception be cured?"
"Your Majesty, how can you deceive? With so many people watching and listening, what else can you deceive after you have said it so clearly? What fun is there in deceiving Your Majesty?" Gao Lingbo said, "The emperor is being used for fun by her at will.
Is it? Once is not enough, how many more times do you need it?"
The imperial concubine sat back doubtfully.
"Since Mrs. Cheng has been declared dead for the second time, I don't think she will shame herself in front of the world for a while. She doesn't need to worry about it for now." Gao Lingbo added, "Firstly, it won't threaten the eldest prince. Secondly, His Majesty is now
We will not let her go, and we cannot take risks against her unless forced to do so, otherwise the gain will not be worth the loss."
Things have priorities, and they must be clearly distinguished, otherwise you will end up in a mess.
"It's not urgent now." The imperial concubine said with an anxious look on her face, "It's enough to make me upset if the King of Jin'an County hangs around in the palace all day long, and here comes some lady Cheng who talks about demons and demons..."
"Resolve what needs to be solved, and win over what needs to be won over." Gao Lingbo said, "Don't be in a hurry."
"Why are you not in a hurry? The prince is nineteen years old and still lives in the palace. Now there is a miracle doctor. Although he said that he must die without cure, there is no guarantee that there are other magical methods. Those Taoists are not the best at cultivating immortals.
You are pregnant, that Tong Neihan has given birth to another little son, your Majesty is about the same age as him, maybe you can find a secret method to raise another son..." the imperial concubine said anxiously.
Gao Lingbo twisted his beard and concentrated for a moment.
"Then let the prince leave the palace." He said.
"How to leave?" the imperial concubine said angrily, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother held him in her heart like a three-year-old child with her coaxing mouth. Anyone who dares to say let him go is like trying to kill him. The Queen Mother can't wait to eat him."
Gao Lingbo smiled.
"Since the Queen Mother is worried that Prince Jin'an will be killed if he leaves the palace, it's easy to do." He said, "Let the eldest prince also leave the palace."
The eldest prince?
The imperial concubine sat up suddenly.
"How can that be done! I want to drive him away, not my fourth brother!" she said anxiously, "fourth brother is only thirteen, so young..."
"His Royal Highness is not afraid that he can leave the palace and go to the Prince's Mansion at such a young age. What should he be afraid of when Prince Jin'an is so old?" Gao Lingbo said.
"But, but..." The imperial concubine still shook her head.
"My Lady, do you know that Your Majesty relies more and more on Prince Jin'an in court affairs?" Gao Lingbo interrupted her and asked solemnly.
Speaking of this noble concubine, she became even more angry.
She has heard it many times. His Majesty always praises Prince Jin An, but the eldest prince is made more and more stupid by it.
"So I said hurry up and get him out!" she said.
"In the palace, the eldest prince and the county prince look the same, but when they go out of the palace, one is a prince or a crown prince, and a county prince is only a county prince. Madam, it is nothing for the prince to enter the palace. How can he, a county prince, enter every day?
Palace? Even if the emperor and the empress dowager are willing, the courtiers will not agree." Gao Lingbo said, "Get close, get close. One is close and the other is close. If there is only closeness but no closeness, this human relationship will be as weak as water.
."
Well, after leaving the palace, the prince cannot appear in front of the queen mother and her majesty all the time like now, but the eldest prince is different. Firstly, he is the real grandson of the emperor, and secondly, he is still in the palace, so Jin
Where is Prince An? He has nothing and is nothing!
The imperial concubine nodded thoughtfully on the armrest.
"But what about Prince Qing?" she asked again, "That boy will definitely use Prince Qing as a shield and refuse to leave."
"Prince Qing." Gao Lingbo twisted his beard and smiled, "There are quite a few princesses in the palace. Some of them, big or small, will accidentally bump into this idiot. Maybe they will be frightened."
The imperial concubine's eyes lit up when she understood but then darkened again.
"I was frightened at first, but ended up being scolded by the Queen Mother," she said.
Gao Lingbo smiled slightly.
"Empress, that was before, almost two years have passed." He said, "Everyone is very sad about Prince Qing, but we can't be sad forever, right?"
Therefore, things are divided into priorities. When should you do something? Don't be hasty, haste makes waste.
And now it's time to deal with some of the people who deserve to be dealt with.
People always have to pay a price for doing things. Who made the prince of Jin'an County talk too much in court at that time? Gao Lingbo was a very vengeful person. He suffered such a big loss this time, so he didn't just let it go. He wanted to do it for a long time.
Get it back bit by bit.
