Fortunately, the King of Jin'an County did not climb over with a ladder from the top of the wall this time, saving Huang from being frightened again.
When the street gate opened, Mrs. Huang led Cheng Jiaoniang, her children and a group of servants and servants to pay homage and greet her.
Looking at the courtyard full of people giving gifts, not to mention that these people in the courtyard felt uncomfortable, Prince Jin'an also felt a little awkward.
Naturally, he felt awkward not because people were paying him courtesy, but because he was thinking about the past.
The young man lying on the wall has changed, and so has this deserted little courtyard.
Thinking of this, Prince Jin'an felt a little sad.
At that time, he thought it was the most difficult time in his life, but looking back at it now, he felt so happy and comfortable.
You never know what suffering is waiting for you at the next moment, nor do you know that what you think is suffering at this moment may actually be happiness.
"...Sixth brother, brother is going to do something happy today."
Before he went out, he sat in the hall and looked at Prince Qing playing with a bunch of toys.
"Do you want to know?"
He crossed his legs and asked with a little pride.
Prince Qing naturally ignored him and muttered hummingly.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else." He smiled, sitting in front of Prince Qing and chattering as usual.
"You still remember, I told you before, if he hurt you, I will hurt him too, retaliation for retaliation, if he makes you stupid, I will make him a human or a ghost."
"….What does it mean to be neither human nor ghost? You still remember, when we were traveling that year, the monster we met in the village who was burned to death was actually not a monster, but a person infected with Li Feng.
…”
"...Yes, I had an idea at that time. Let's come back, but I asked them to look for people with this kind of severe wind disease. Just a while ago, the good news finally came. They found it and verified it.
It has been passed on to others, and it is about to be brought to the capital. Brother Six, follow what I told you and put the things used by this Li Feng patient at his place..."
"...Are you worried about hurting others? Brother Six, you are really a kind child... They have verified it outside. It's okay to talk during daily meetings. Also, he loves reading so much and doesn't like seeing people..."
"...but then Cheng Fang came. How should I say, I am very happy, but I am really embarrassed..."
"...If the eldest prince gets this disease, he will definitely ask her for diagnosis and treatment. If she doesn't get diagnosis and treatment, or if it can't be cured and she gets into trouble, His Majesty, the imperial concubine and others will feel sorry for her..."
"...Okay, actually I'm more worried that if she can be cured, our work will be in vain."
"...I just think that she must leave, she must leave the capital. Of course, we cannot force her to leave. The best thing is to let Gao Lingbo and the imperial concubine force her to leave..."
"...How to force her to leave? Just as I am afraid that she will cure the eldest prince, Gao Lingbo and the imperial concubine are also afraid that she will cure you..."
"...As long as you know what others are afraid of, it will be easier to handle, so we have made arrangements. She will enter the palace on that day, and then I will invite her to come to our place, let her see you, and then close the door,
Ask her if it can be cured, or don't ask at all, and then when the Queen Mother asks, I reply that if she can't be cured, just a little hesitation is enough to scare the imperial concubine..."
"... She will be suspicious and especially want to know what we said behind closed doors, but she is destined not to be able to ask anything. Failure to ask this will drive her crazy..."
"...She will definitely want to drive Cheng Fang away, and she will do whatever it takes to eliminate this threat that even has a little hope..."
"...Sixth brother, think about it, she forced Cheng Fang away, and the eldest prince will be sick and die by then... Will she really go crazy with anger? This is because she killed the eldest prince with her own hands..."
Prince Jin'an looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter echoing in the hall, making Prince Qing look at him in shock.
"Brother Six, is this the best thing to do?" He reached out and grabbed Prince Qing and asked.
King Qing shook him off and climbed to the side without knowing what he saw again.
Everything in the house was carefully arranged so that he would not be bumped into. Prince Jin'an sat back down again.
"But, I didn't do that in the end." He said slowly, "When I saw her happily eating the pastries and fruits I gave her, and watching her listening to me seriously and trustingly, Brother Six,
I can't do it..."
"She has nothing left. She has encountered so many things. The world has forced her time and time again, and I have to force her and use her..."
"...Yes, she is very powerful. The imperial concubine and Gao Lingbo may not be able to hurt her, but they may become enemies with her because of this. Just like other people who offended her, they were bitten by her..."
"...This is really the best thing, for you and me..."
"...But I can't bear it. I can't bear to let her have such a hard time...Why does she always have to have such a hard time..."
"...So the moment I stepped out, I regretted it and stopped..."
"...Then, you and I will be miserable. We were kicked out, thrown away, and separated. If we want to get close to the eldest prince again, it will be even more difficult..."
"...However, I don't regret it at all. Instead, I feel... very happy and relaxed..."
"...Brother Six, I think there are millions of roads in the world. If one of them doesn't work, let's find another one. As long as we keep walking, we will always find a way..."
"...Sixth brother, you think it's right, don't you? Then I'll go and apologize to her. Although I stopped, I lifted my foot after all."
"Your Highness?"
Someone called.
Prince Jin'an came back to his senses and smiled when he looked at the people in the courtyard who continued to salute.
"Ms. Cheng and I have a relationship to seek medical treatment, so I happened to come to visit you when I was passing by. You don't need to be afraid." He said, raising his hand to avoid courtesy.
Fan Jianglin was not at home. As the sister-in-law, Huang had to complete the reception with the help of her maid. Fortunately, she did not need to sit with her anymore. After completing the reception, she and her maids went to prepare tea.
"It's a coincidence that Zhang Banqin is here, hurry up and make us something special." The maid said, looking to the side.
The girl stood with a smile on her face. After listening to her words, she simply stretched out her hand to grab the melon seeds and crack them.
"You said my surname is Zhang and I am also a guest. How can I take away my sister's work?" She laughed.
The maid smiled and raised her hand to pull her.
"Who in the capital wouldn't be proud to invite a cook from the Zhang family? Come on, it's rare that you come uninvited. Come on, let us surnamed Cheng get the honor too." She smiled.
Seeing these two girls making jokes, not feeling nervous at all about the sudden arrival of a royal relative at home, Huang felt strange and gradually felt at ease.
"Madam, what are you afraid of? Both the eldest man and the lady have met the emperor." The maid smiled.
Not only did he meet the emperor, but he also dared to make a bet with him.
Mr. Huang also smiled when he heard this and turned to look at the living room.
It doesn't look like he's just a doctor, it looks like he's an old friend.
"I haven't been here for two years."
Prince Jin'an looked around, sighing a bit, and smiled slightly.
"The house is much more lively."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Your Highness can leave now," she said.
Therefore, there is still something worth being happy about in the midst of suffering.
Prince Jin'an smiled and raised his tea bowl.
"We rejoice together," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang also smiled slightly, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"My lady must have heard about it," said the King of Jin'an County.
"The girls and boys go out shopping every day," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
So she knows everything she needs to know.
"Everyone thinks that I was kicked out. In fact, this is exactly what I want." Prince Jin'an said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"It's time to come out and do something at that time," she said.
Prince Jin'an's smile grew even wider.
"To tell you the truth, Madam, I originally had some bad thoughts, and this matter will also implicate Madam and make Madam inconvenient." He said, put away his smile, and gave a solemn salute, "Madam knows it in her heart, so today I
Come and apologize to my wife."
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him for a moment and shook her head.
"No one and nothing can inconvenience me," she said.
The girl and the maid who walked to the corridor carrying the tea stopped and looked at each other with serious expressions.
What happened when the lady entered the palace that day? Why does something sound wrong?
The maid shook her head.
She and Banqin only arrived at the palace gate that day and did not follow them.
The voice of Prince Jin'an continued to be heard in the hall, but the topic was suddenly cut off, and disappeared as if it had never been spoken.
"...Don't worry, ma'am. I knew they were going to drive me out this time, so I came out as planned. And I took Prince Qing with me as I wished, so I could take care of him. I thought about it, and I can do it in an upright and aboveboard manner.
What you want to do.”
Prince Jin'an's voice was relaxed and pleasant.
"Be upright and upright, and God will not deceive you."
Cheng Jiaoniang took it seriously.
The maid stretched out her hand to take the food plate and stepped inside.
The girl stood on the porch outside the door with a dazed look on her face. She heard Prince Jin'an's voice in the hall becoming more relaxed and cheerful. She was obviously very happy to be recognized, so she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh again.
Your Royal Highness, you probably don’t know that the wife of her family dares to bully anyone even in the sky.
There seemed to be thunder roaring past my ears.
If you really want to do something to annoy your wife, whether you do it secretly or openly, if God doesn't deceive you, she will do it.
After having a bowl of tea and a few snacks, Prince Jin'an left with a satisfied heart.
"I still want to thank you for your magnanimity, madam." Before leaving, he said with a face-lifting salute.
"I'm not magnanimous." Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head, "I'm stingy."
Prince Jin'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.
Yes, if you think about it, it is really a bit stingy, because a passing god forced a court official who had worked hard for decades to lose his family, and because of a mere reward, he forced one to death and defeated a whole group of northwest generals.
"If you want to thank me, thank you for your generosity." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Yes, harming others will ultimately harm yourself. It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself." Prince Jin'an smiled and said, "I am so grateful to myself. Why am I so good?"
Although I don't know what happened between them, since I can say this, it has obviously been said, and the maid who followed behind couldn't help but smile.
An attendant came in outside the door.
"Your Highness, there are many people coming outside..." he said with a bit of solemnity.
"Your Highness, don't worry, it's been like this for the past few days." The maid smiled.
Prince Jin'an was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked outside. Before he could see clearly, he saw someone coming in head-on.
"I don't care about others. You write ten or eight paintings for me first so that I can sell them."
Qin Thirteenth Lang said, stopping as he spoke, looking at the people standing in the yard, his eyes fell on Prince Jin'an.
It's him!
Prince Jin'an recognized him at a glance.
The man who crossed the river with her in a boat two years ago.
Qin Hu, the thirteenth son of the Qin family.
Qin Thirteenth Lang was stunned for a moment. Although he was considered a relative of the emperor, he never entered the palace when he was a child because of his disabled legs. Now that he has recovered, he has been busy studying in the past two years, and he has never been so close to the prince in the palace.
I had seen him before, and after a moment I suddenly recognized him, and I hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"I have met His Highness," he said.
Prince Jin'an nodded and walked out.
As expected, there were some people standing outside the door, old and young, but their attitudes were polite and they did not come close. Even when they saw Cheng Jiaoniang and others coming out, there was only a commotion but they did not rush forward or make any loud noise.
"I came here because of my lady's reputation." The attendant had already inquired about it and said.
No wonder, scholars still pay attention to propriety and manners.
The Prince of Jin'an County showed a somewhat proud smile and said goodbye to Rong. He turned back to look at Cheng Jiaoniang. Cheng Jiaoniang and others bowed to him and said goodbye.
After getting on the carriage and walking out, Prince Jin'an couldn't help but lift the curtain and look back. He saw that the people in front of the Cheng family were still standing side by side. Qin Hu was standing next to Cheng Jiaoniang saying something, and Cheng Jiaoniang seemed to have a smile.
.
The horse is fast and the carriage is light and disappears in the blink of an eye.
"You actually wrote such good handwriting without telling me." Qin Shisanlang said as he followed Cheng Jiaoniang through the door.
Mrs. Huang was used to seeing Thirteenth Prince Qin, so she hugged the child and saluted him.
Qin Shisanlang solemnly returned the gift.
"You didn't ask me." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Besides, it's not very good either."
Qin Shisanlang raised his hand to his forehead and pointed to the door.
"Don't let them hear this, otherwise you may go crazy." He laughed.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled slightly and said nothing.
The two sat down in the hall, Banqin and the girl holding tea.
"Madam, I'm going to the store." the maid said.
"The boss is really busy." Qin Shisanlang joked.
The maid smiled and withdrew.
"Madam, this slave has also resigned," the girl said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and watched the girl retreat.
"The cook in this house is really enviable." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile, "Madam, is there any girl here that I can use instead? My family is also lucky to have a good cook."
Banqin on the side immediately became nervous and leaned closer to Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Whatever, Banqin knows it. If you want to learn, come and learn from her." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Qin Shisanlang was startled.
"Aren't you kidding me?" he asked.
"What's the point of joking? It's just a food trail." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Then I really sent the girl here." Qin Shisanlang said.
Cheng Jiaoniang hummed.
"Liu Lang wrote a letter to praise his arms and bows." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile while drinking tea.
"It's better for soldiers to use it," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"You really don't take credit." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile.
"It's not the same whether you live or not." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"How is that the same!" Qin Shisanlang shook his head.
"Why is it different?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
If you have merit, you will be famous, you will gain benefits, you will be rich and honorable, and you will be respected by everyone...
Qin Shisanlang looked at the woman in front of him. She was a small woman with an indifferent expression. She was wearing the same plain clothes. She was eating tea and cakes made by herself. The furnishings in the house were simple and elegant...
To others, everything in this world is just a handful of dirt.
If you do nothing, then you will do nothing.
"Never mind this, just write me a few words." Qin Shisanlang retracted his expression and said with a smile.
"I can't write any words for no reason." Cheng Jiaoniang said, pointing to the study, "There is something written there. If you like it, just go and get it."
As expected, Qin Thirteenth Lang stood up with a smile and politely went into the study to get a stack.
"Lang Jun, these papers can also be used to light fires." Banqin said with a smile.
"What a waste of natural resources." Qin Shisanlang glared at her and said.
Banqin covered her mouth and smiled.
"Then I'll take my leave." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile, "These are enough for the children in the family to copy."
Cheng Jiaoniang stood up to see her off.
"Oh, by the way, did the prince come here just now for Prince Qing?" Qin Shisanlang thought of something and asked.
"No." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
It would be inappropriate to ask again. He has always been a polite person.
"Then why are you here?" Qin Shisanlang blurted out.
"To apologize." Cheng Jiaoniang replied without hesitation.
Apologize?
Maybe it was because of King Qing's problem. He had already said that he would not be cured, but he still asked her to treat him. He didn't want to think about saying that he would not be cured in front of the emperor, which would be very embarrassing for any imperial doctor.
These things just happened, how difficult it should be for her in the eyes of the emperor.
"It's time to apologize." Qin Thirteenth Lang said, took a step forward, walked a few steps, then stopped, looked back at Cheng Jiaoniang and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
"I was wondering why you didn't say anything or tell you when I asked you." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile.
"It's not something that can't be told to others." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Why didn't I tell you?"
Seeing the serious answer of the woman in front of him, Qin Shisanlang couldn't help but laugh.
"I just thought it must be interesting for you to talk like that." He said.
What's the fun?
Banqin Huang and others on the side couldn't help but look at Cheng Jiaoniang.
The little girl stood dignifiedly, raising her head and smiling coquettishly.
I won’t tell you.
Banqin and Huang couldn't help but shudder, and they couldn't help but laugh and lower their heads to hide it.
Cheng Jiaoniang's expression remained unchanged.
"You think too much," she said.
