Under the wall, Prince Zhu Gaochi was sitting on a chair with two large wooden wheels and two small wooden luns, basking in the sun leisurely.
With his straight back and angular face, he is extremely handsome.
Compared with the previous image of being obese and needing help from others even to walk, it is already a huge difference.
He grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds on the table in front of him, half-closed his eyes, and put a melon seed into his mouth.
On both sides of Zhu Gaochi, there was a wide door panel, with two people lying on it.
Each used their arms as eyes, lying on the door panel for a long time, absorbing the warmth of their eyes.
Although most of their faces were covered, the attire of the Dongchang warden clearly told everyone that these were Duan Tianming, the 13th warden, and Du Shaoqin, the prison warden.
"Chief Du, it's a bit uncomfortable to lie on this door panel. Why don't you bring your bedding and put it on." Duan Tianming turned over and muttered.
"This is because the factory master and Xiao Chen are not here, and we two monkeys are the kings. If they are in the capital and want to bedding, I don't dare to lie down on this bed." Du Shaoqin said, covering the sun with his hands.
"Look at your potential, you don't even dare to bask in the sun. If the factory boss was here, we shouldn't be allowed to bask in the sun like this, but if you said that Xiao Chen wouldn't be like this, then you would praise him. If it were him, he would have moved out the bedding.
It's over." With his whole body feeling hot from the sun, Duan Tianming simply sat up and grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds from the table next to him.
"But, we are accompanying the prince to bask in the sun to promote bone growth. For the prince's safety, we have to stay by his side at all times." Looking at Zhu Gaochi who closed his eyes and ate melon seeds, Du Shaoqin gave him a shameless face.
Put gold on it.
During this period, according to Xiao Chen's instructions, Zhu Gaochi still could not eat meat.
However, snacks such as fruits and melon seeds are in sufficient supply. As long as the weather is clear and you can bask in the sun for three hours a day, this is an unbreakable "required course".
I don't know if it's because it's hot or because I'm a little thirsty after eating the melon seeds. Zhu Gaochi put the melon seeds in his hand back on the table and looked at each other: "It's been a day since you gave me a bowl of water. Can you pour me another one?"
bowl?"
"Yes, of course. Xiao Chen said that you must drink this boiled water." Du Shaoqin stood up, picked up the hot water bottle next to him, and filled the tea bowl in front of Zhu Gaochi with boiled water.
Then he changed the tea leaves into the tea bowls for himself and Duan Tianming, and added boiling water.
Smelling the aroma of tea wafting from the two tea bowls, Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them with a flattering look: "What kind of tea are you talking about? It smells very good."
"This is something we brought back when we were working on a case in Hangzhou. It's called West Lake Longjing." After stretching, Duan Tianming also sat up and reached out to take the tea bowl on the table.
"I've been drinking boiled water for a while. Can you make me a bowl of tea?" Zhu Gaochi asked tentatively with a smile on his face.
Ever since I entered the Dongchang Prison, I have been a complete prisoner. I can't eat what I want to eat, and I can't drink what I want to drink. Everything must be done according to Xiao Chen's wishes.
Zhu Gaochi knew that this was all for his own good, so he persisted and did not embarrass Duan Tianming and Du Shaoqin too much after Xiao Chen left.
But the aroma of today's tea was so tempting that Zhu Gaochi had a strong urge to drink a bowl.
"Your Highness, please be patient. Without Xiao Chen, we would never dare to give you random food and drink." Duan Tianming took a sip of tea and deliberately smashed his mouth a few times.
It seems that there is no sound, so it cannot reflect how fragrant this West Lake Longjing is.
Knowing that Duan Tianming obeyed Xiao Chen's orders and would not break the rules easily, Zhu Gaochi turned his head again and looked at Du Shaoqin next to him.
"Chief Du, how about you put two tea leaves in the teacup for me? I don't want more, just two tea leaves. How about that?"
"Your Highness, I know this boiled water has no taste. Drinking it will only make you feel bloated. But your ankle has not fully recovered yet. Why don't you eat an apple first to satisfy your craving?" With that, Du Shaoqin took some food from the fruit plate on the table.
, picked up an apple and handed it to Zhu Gaochi.
"You are not willing to part with two pieces of tea. You are really stingy." Zhu Gaochi turned his head to one side, not even looking at the apple Du Shaoqin handed him.
"Your Highness, I'm really not stingy. When your leg injury is fully recovered, I will try my best to satisfy you with whatever you want to eat. Even if it's bananas and lychees from the south, if you want to eat them, I can run over and bring them back to you.
"Du Shaoqin said hurriedly.
According to Xiao Chen, the prince will return to the East Palace after recovering from his leg injury.
In the future, he will definitely be the heir to the Ming Dynasty.
If you offend him now, if he gives you little shoes to wear in the future, your life will not be easy.
"You don't want to give me even two pieces of tea. What about bananas and lychees?" Zhu Gaochi laughed, "Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore. My father went to Huailaiwei to preside over the 'hunting' for several days.
, has any news come back?"
Hearing Zhu Gaochi mention the matter of Huailaiwei, the pride on Duan Tianming's face gradually disappeared. He also put the tea bowl in his hand on the table and stopped tasting it.
Seeing Duan Tianming's changes, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but ask: "Why, did something bad happen?"
Staying in this Dongchang Prison, I am like a blind and deaf person, unaware of what is happening in the outside world.
All sources of information are the mouths of Du Shaoqin and Duan Tianming.
When Duan Tianming, who had been enjoying tea with pride just now, heard that he asked about Huailaiwei, his expression suddenly changed, which made Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
"The Emperor is in poor health and has not been to Huailaiwei to participate in the 'hunting' activities for three days in a row." Duan Tianming said softly while sitting on the door panel.
"What?" Zhu Gaochi was anxious, holding the armrests of the "wheelchair" with both hands, and stood up suddenly, "When I was in the capital, no matter how tired I was, my father never said he would not go to court for a day. This has just happened
Huailaiwei, will you not participate in activities for three days? Is your father really sick?"
"Your Highness, please sit down quickly. Your ankles are not strong enough to stand upright yet." Du Shaoqin, who was on the side, had already rushed over and pushed Zhu Gaochi back onto the "wheelchair".
"My father is sick, but I'm not around. I'm worried." Zhu Gaochi raised his fist and smashed the table in front of him with all his strength.
"Here we go to Huailaiwei. The emperor is accompanied by the imperial physician. The factory master and Xiao Chen are also with him. Some of the senior officials from the six departments also followed. Your Highness, don't worry, there are so many people taking care of the emperor, nothing will happen to him."
Holding down Zhu Gaochi's hands that were banging on the table, Du Shaoqin comforted him.
Looking at Duan Tianming and Du Shaoqin, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were full of anxiety: "Can you send me to Huailaiwei? I want to see my father."
"No, you need to recuperate." Du Shaoqin shook his head gently.
"My father is sick, but I can't visit him. What's the use of these legs?" Zhu Gaochi raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and was about to hit his legs and wrists.
