Chapter 13
Zhao Xi held two small peaches in his arms, and said: "I heard that the early peaches in Muyang Temple can cure all kinds of diseases. Rongtang has been in poor health, so I picked a few and gave him as comfort."
He Changzhou was quiet, and said with a smile: "The emperor is so kind to Mr. Rong."
Zhao Qi said: "It is because of me that he became what he is now, and I will always give him some compensation."
"Listen to the emperor's tone, but do you regret it?"
"regret?"
"I regret taking Rong Tang forcibly."
Zhao Qi said casually, "I've done everything, so what's the use of regretting it."
He Changzhou asked: "Has the emperor ever thought of letting him go? Mr. Rong is full of pride, and he looks like the type who prefers softness to hard work. If he is given freedom, he might change his opinion of the emperor."
Zhao Qi said without hesitation; "That won't work." Rong Tang and King Huai were good friends who grew up together. If Rong Tang were free, he would definitely go to King Huai immediately to help him usurp power and the throne. He who had been humiliated stepped on his feet.
He Changzhou: "Why?"
Zhao Qi pretended to be deep, "Because I love him. Didn't you also say that? Even if you can't get his heart, someone who can get him is good. That's why I don't care about my heart."
He Changzhou: "..."
"Move further, there is a little peach with a strange shape."
He Changzhou smiled, "Your Majesty, let's throw down the peaches in his arms first, and then pick others."
Zhao Qi looked down at the peach in his arms and shook his head: "No, it will break."
Jiang Dehai: "Although the emperor loses, the servants will follow."
Zhao Qi threw the peaches he picked out and successfully freed his hands.He Changzhou walked a few steps in with him in his arms, and said, "Did your majesty see that thick and strong branch?"
Zhao Qi: "I see, what's the matter?"
"Hold on, Your Majesty, I'm going to let go."
"Ah?!" Zhao Qi grasped the trunk subconsciously, "What do you think you want to do?"
He Changzhou raised his head and smiled at him, and slowly let go of his hand. Zhao Qi was hanging on the tree trunk like a horizontal bar. This posture was a test of his arm strength, and he would fall if he slackened slightly.Although the trunk is not very high, if you really fall down, you will definitely suffer.
"Ahhh He Changzhou!" Zhao Qi shouted, "Are you crazy? Hurry up and hug me down!"
Jiang Dehai was also anxious, "Little General He, what are you doing! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hold on, this old slave is here to save you!"
He Changzhou was standing beside Zhao Xi, and if Zhao Qi let go, he would be able to catch him in an instant.He Changzhou said to Jiang Dehai: "Eunuch, don't worry, I'm just joking with the emperor."
"What kind of joke is this!" Zhao Qi blushed, "You are dead He Changzhou, I tell you, you are already dead!"
He Changzhou said: "As long as the emperor agrees to give me the peaches, I will carry the emperor down."
"Everything, I'll give you everything! Hurry up, I'm going to the limit..."
He Changzhou hugged Zhao Qi's leg and carried him down.Zhao Qi landed on both feet, feeling full of security.He breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at He Changzhou, cut his throat again, and said with a serious face, "Are you ready to die?"
He Changzhou knelt down on one knee, "It's ready, but before he dies, the emperor remembers to feed Chen Tao."
Zhao Qi picked up a peach from Jiang Dehai's arms and threw it at He Changzhou, "Eat, eat! I'll fucking kill you!"
Xiao Shiqing, who happened to pass by and witnessed everything, sneered: "Extremely boring."
Soon it was time to return to the palace.Empress Dowager Wen was saying goodbye to Master Yuantong after listening to the last lecture on Buddhism, when Zhao Qi rushed in suddenly: "Empress Mother!"
Empress Dowager Wen frowned, "What's the matter, so flustered?"
Zhao Qi: "My little Taozi is gone!"
"what?"
"My little peaches!" Zhao Qi was heartbroken, "I picked them myself, and all the small peaches are gone!"
Empress Dowager Wen was confused, and turned to Jiang Dehai: "What's going on?"
Jiang Dehai explained: "The emperor heard that the early peaches in Muyang Temple can cure diseases, so he deliberately picked a lot of them and prepared to take them back to the palace. But today, when the slave was packing his luggage, he found that all the early peaches were gone. All the eunuchs interrogated him, but they couldn't find any clues."
Empress Dowager Wen laughed: "Aijia should be nothing, it's just a few peaches, look at you."
"It's not just about peaches, Queen Mother!" Zhao Qisha said seriously, "There are thieves around me, and there are thieves in this Buddhist holy land! The thief today just stole my peaches, who knows what he will steal in the future!"
Empress Dowager Wen felt that what her son said made sense, "Then what should we do according to the emperor's wishes?"
"Check, check to the end, we must find out the truth!"
Empress Dowager Wen said: "Okay, let Dali Temple investigate."
Master Yuantong said: "Your Majesty, the early peaches in Muyang Temple are just common things and have no curative effect."
"I know," Zhao Xi said, "I don't want to eat the peaches myself, but I want to give them away. The gift is light and the affection is heavy. Before I leave, I will pick some more, but it seems that there are not many left... "
After Zhao Qi left, Master Yuantong and Empress Dowager Wen looked at each other, and said, "Empress Dowager, the emperor has swept away his past decadence, and his seal hall is open, his lips are red and his teeth are white, which is really a good omen."
Empress Dowager Wen said with a smile: "Master said so, the Ai family can rest assured."
Master Yuantong hesitated, "It's just..."
Empress Dowager Wen hurriedly asked, "Master, it's okay to say."
Master Yuantong: "Don't be nervous, Queen Mother. The emperor is indeed a blessed person. It's just that the emperor hits too many peach blossoms. I'm afraid there will be some troubles in the future."
Empress Dowager Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "The emperor will definitely have three thousand beauties in the harem in the future. From ancient times to the present, there is no trouble in the harem of any emperor."
Master Yuantong smiled, "What the Queen Mother said is very true."
The Empress Dowager left the palace for a few days, and then Prime Minister Xiao also left. There was no serious master in the palace, and everyone was quite loose.
In the Drunken Study, Rong Tang was sitting by the window reading a book.Jin Ning opened the window, and the spring light came in, drawing a streak of light on his jade-like hands.
"Look, my lord," Jin Ning said, "what a beautiful day it is."
Rong Tang put down the scroll in his hand, "Yes."
"Sir, do you want to go out for a walk?" Jin Ning tentatively asked, "You haven't stepped out of the Zui Study Room for more than half a month."
"Don't go."
"Son—"
Rong Tang's tone was light: "Did you forget what happened last time when you went out?"
Jin Ning thought for a while, and said, "You mean Mr. Jiang fell into the water? But the emperor didn't blame you. Mr., go for a walk, the imperial doctor also said that your illness needs to be exposed to the sun more. And now the emperor If you're not in the palace, you won't meet him when you go out."
Rong Tang looked out of the window, the spring was just right, and it was true that he hadn't been out for a long time.
"Let's go then."
Rong Tang likes to be quiet, and he walks the paths that few people walk.It is rare for him to be in good spirits, and he does not feel tired after walking for a long time.The two walked further and further, and came to a slightly dilapidated courtyard.The door of the yard was open, and a woman in plain clothes was cleaning the toilet in the yard.
Jin Ning said: "Master, this place is dirty, let's go."
Rong Tang said: "It's strange, why can't I smell any strange smell at all."
"Who knows... Oh, isn't this person that Miss Wang?!"
"Who?"
"Your servant and the young master said it, did the young master forget it?" Jin Ning said, "Miss Wang is a beauty brought back by the emperor from outside the palace. Later, she had an affair with someone and became pregnant with a child. The emperor kept her One life, saying that her life would be worse than death, let her clean the toilet in the palace, and said that she would test the medicine on her."
Rong Tang said: "Then why is she still alive?"
"Maybe it's because of her good fortune."
Rong Tang was thoughtful, "Go in and have a look."
Miss Wang was cleaning the toilet, when she suddenly saw a young man who looked like a banished fairy walking towards her, she lost her mind for a while, and then said: "You are..."
Rong Tang glanced at her slightly raised belly, "Don't be afraid, I am the same person as you."
Miss Wang didn't quite understand what he meant, but the white-clothed young man in front of her was so good-looking that no ordinary person could make anyone feel malicious. "You, you go, be careful not to get your clothes dirty."
Rong Tang pointed to the toilet beside him, "Have you cleaned these?"
Miss Wang: "Not yet."
Jin Ning was surprised: "It's so clean without brushing?!"
Ms. Wang smiled, "It's probably because I'm lucky that the toilets I deliver are pretty clean every time."
Rong Tang asked: "Then the fetus in your womb..."
Miss Wang put her hand on her lower abdomen, and her smile became a little distorted: "Hmph, the dog emperor is testing medicine on me every day, but my child is upbeat, and nothing happens at all. It's better to piss that dog emperor to death!"
Rong Tang was slightly surprised, if Zhao Qi really wanted to torture someone, Miss Wang definitely wouldn't stand here and talk to herself.
"You hate him?" he asked.
"Although I have fallen into prostitution, I already belonged to my heart. I have been waiting for him to save enough money to redeem me. The dog emperor forced me into the palace. I didn't want to, but he forced my lover to death!" Miss Wang said As he spoke, his eyes were red, "I just want to give him a cuckold, and I want to curse him to die early!"
Jin Ning's face turned pale, and she said, "Stop talking, be careful not to be overheard!"
Miss Wang said disdainfully: "I'm not even afraid of death, why am I afraid of being heard?"
Rong Tang thought for a moment, and said: "How did the emperor know that the fetus in your womb is not a dragon?"
"The dog emperor never touched me, how could my child be his?"
Rong Tang's eyes flickered slightly: "Haven't I touched you?"
Miss Wang sneered: "It's not just me, the dog emperor has never really touched any of the beauties. Some people still want to conceive a dragon species and ascend to heaven. Unfortunately, the dog emperor never sleeps in their beds."
Rong Tang inexplicably remembered that he once asked Zhao Qi how many people he had slept with, but Zhao Qi didn't seem to give him an answer at that time.
Jin Ning urged uneasily: "My lord, it's getting late, let's go back to the drunken study."
Rong Tang came back to his senses, "Okay."
Back in the Drunken Study, Rong Tang wanted to continue reading, but his mind was always absent-minded.
After dinner, Jiang Dehai personally came to the Drunken Study, "Young Master Rong, these are the early peaches from Muyang Temple. The emperor managed to get the last three, and I specially asked this old slave to deliver them."
"The early peaches from Muyang Temple?" Jin Ning said joyfully, "Master, I heard from my mother that as long as you eat the peaches from Muyang Temple, you can be cured of any illness!"
Rong Tang didn't believe this, and said coldly, "Thank you."
Jiang Dehai: "The emperor also said that he has never touched this peach, so don't think it's dirty."
Rong Tang was slightly taken aback, "Dirty?"
Jiang Dehai's tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Didn't you say that the emperor was dirty last time, and you also said that you felt sick for the emperor? When the emperor came back, he was sad for a while."
The author has something to say: Later, Rong Rong wanted to hug the little emperor,
Little Emperor: Don't touch me, be careful not to get your hands dirty.
Rong Rong: Come here, I want to be dirty by you.
Little Emperor: ...Wait, you are a noble and cool persona, hey!
