What the emperor was most worried about was Ji Heng's body. He looked at him carefully several times. He saw that Ji Heng's skin was fair and slightly flushed, his eyes were black and bright, and his lips were tender red. He didn't look like he was extremely weak. But he still asked to summon the imperial physician to check Ji Heng's pulse.

The imperial physician examined Ji Heng's pulse in front of the emperor, and he was frank with the emperor, saying that Ji Heng was indeed a weak disease brought about by his mother's womb. Then send it to Jifu.

The emperor was kind to Ji Heng, and Ji Heng saw it, so he felt a little guilty about avoiding the emperor and not returning to Beijing these few months.

One reason for avoiding Xishan is to recuperate the body, but it is not the main reason.

Mr. Ji's handling of the Jiangnan case had already created a gap in the emperor's heart, but after that, the emperor still let Mr. Ji enter the cabinet, added officials to him, and rewarded the Ji family a lot.

And Ji Chaozong, the eldest son of the Ji family, won the top prize in this subject, and was deeply liked by the emperor. At this time, the Ji family can be said to be in the limelight.

There is something to say, shoot the first bird.

The Ji family has indeed gained a lot of limelight these days, which naturally attracts people to gossip, and many people are dissatisfied with the current success of the Ji family, and they always have to make some stumbling blocks.

Of course, the Ji family didn't take these people seriously.

But Ji Heng has always been a steady person, and he feels that being with a king is like a tiger, and it is always good to keep a low profile.

In addition, in the court, Beijing, and even other places, people are happy to attribute the current glory of the Ji family to the fact that Ji Heng was a lucky minister in front of the emperor. Ji Heng sneered at these people's gossip, thinking that these people were his own. It's not right, that's why I think about him like that.

Although they sniffed, they couldn't stop their mouths. It would be a lie to say that Ji Heng didn't care at all. After all, Ji Heng wasn't a Buddha statue in a temple, so he really wasn't moved by worldly affairs.

Therefore, Ji Heng stayed in Xishan for several months, just to avoid the emperor.

The imperial doctor went out, and the emperor pulled Ji Heng to sit beside him, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated.

The emperor's face has always been soft, like a very good-natured person, but everyone knows that it's just his face.

At such a young age, he has been able to keep his composure, not show any emotions on his face, and is absolutely decisive, with little compassion in his heart, and very little hesitation, so, in Ji Heng's case, It is very rare to see someone hesitating to talk in front of him.

Ji Heng asked, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell Yu Weichen?"

The emperor smiled at him, "Not really."

Ji Heng looked at the emperor with big black and white eyes, and his long eyelashes flickered twice, like a puzzled look, looking at the emperor expectantly.

The emperor had no choice but to continue, "Junqing, it's like this. What about Xu Xuan, his family told him a relative, do you know about it?"

Ji Heng actually knew about this. Although he lived in Xishan, he knew a lot about Beijing and China, and each issue of the residence newspaper was delivered to him as quickly as possible. He is very concerned about things.

But he didn't say that he knew, but was surprised for a moment, then laughed cheerfully and happily, and said, "Speaking of which, Xu Shizi is already married, and it is indeed time to talk about getting married, but I don't know which family he is getting married with." ?”

The emperor liked to have skin-to-skin contact with Ji Heng, so he took Ji Heng's hand into his palm again, gently stroked the thin sword calluses and pen calluses on his fingers, and said, "It's one of his cousins, from my aunt's house. Daughter. The royal family of Jinling."

Ji Heng thought for a while, and said, "Is it the royal family that was made the Duke of Liu?"

The emperor nodded, "Yes. It's just that the Duke of Liu's family lost his title in the previous generation."

Ji Heng smiled and said, "Since they are his cousins, the two of them should have had some contact before, so they won't get married without seeing each other. It's good for him to be like this now."

The emperor didn't expect Ji Heng's focus to be on this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked deeply at Ji Heng, and asked, "Junqing, has your family started to show you the marriage affairs?"

Ji Heng was taken aback, and replied, "I'm still young, why would I watch it now?"

Moreover, his reputation in Beijing is not good. There are many people in Beijing who want to marry his family, and they all come to ask her two sisters, but they don't ask him.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, this is the case. Xu Xuan is going back to Beijing to get married, and Duke Ping also came to me and told me that Ding Shang, a member of the Xu family's direct lineage, is a bit weak. , Xu Xuan has been away for four or five years, and his family hopes to transfer Xu Xuan to Beijing, get married and have children, which is also an explanation to the ancestors."

Ji Heng listened to the emperor's explanation so much, his mind was as exquisite as his, and he immediately understood that the emperor was because Xu Xuan had some discord with him back then, so now that Xu Xuan was going back to Beijing, the emperor was afraid that he would be unhappy.

And when he thought about it this way, he suddenly realized even more.

After the case of King Wu was settled, Ji Heng thought that the emperor would call Xu Xuan back to the capital. After all, Xu Xuan grew up with the emperor and was very protective of the emperor. In addition, he has made a lot of military achievements outside these years, he is like a The heroic young general looks like that.

He has real talents and real learning, and he did not get his current official position by relying on the shelter of his family. Even Zhao Zhili, who is so high-minded and arrogant, said that Xu Xuan has done well in recent years.

For such a person, Ji Hengman thought that the emperor would call him back to Beijing to give him an important task.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not call him back for a long time. Now that Xu Xuan had to come back to get married, his family dared to write a letter asking him to come back.

Thinking of this, Ji Heng naturally understood that Xu Xuan hadn't been called back before because of the unhappiness between the two of them back then.

This reason made Ji Heng's heart beat wildly.

Naturally, the emperor did not mean to please him, but just because he valued him.

There was almost a trace of panic in Ji Heng's eyes, and he looked at the emperor with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing for you, Your Majesty, to return to Beijing. I haven't seen him for so many years. I really don't know what he has become. appearance."

Ji Heng spoke briskly, but the panic in it really made the emperor feel it.

The emperor cupped Ji Heng's hand, wanting to kiss him very much, and when he reached his chest, he reacted instantly, stopped again, and said, "There were some conflicts between him and you back then, I was afraid that he would be called back. Come, to make you unhappy, thinking that I will use him again and alienate you. Therefore, I have to tell you no matter what. "

Ji Heng said in a terrified tone, "Your Majesty, if you say this, I will be terrified."

The emperor looked at him with burning eyes, "Is there only fear?"

Ji Heng blinked his eyes. Those eyes were originally black and white, but because the pupils were too dark, too deep, and too clear, it made people feel that they were covered with misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, hazy and charming. There is a saying that "tourists only He is old in the south of the Yangtze River", in this misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor just wants to sink in it forever, time flies, it doesn't matter if he is allowed to live from birth to death.

Ji Heng knew what the emperor meant. The emperor was at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He was full of enthusiasm for love and friendship, and he felt that this relationship could go from life to death, so he did not disappoint the emperor. He smiled and said, "I'm also very touched and happy, I know this is the emperor, you love me more than me."

The emperor smiled, and was very happy to pull him.

Originally, the emperor left Yang Qinan and Yang Fengjun to eat together, but he was so happy with Ji Heng that he forgot about these two. Seeing that it was late and he was hungry, when he wanted to eat, Only then did he think of these two people, and asked someone to summon them over.

In the west room of the main hall of Qinzheng Hall, the imperial meal was served. The emperor sat in the top seat, Ji Heng sat on the left, and Yang Qinan and Yang Fengjun sat on the right.

Both Yang Qin'an and Yang Fengjun met Ji Heng before, but it was only a one-sided relationship, because Ji Heng was not a serious minister, but just walked around the emperor with a post, and he was too young, so he was more suitable Positioning, I think he is the emperor's playmate, just like the Han Yan who died early beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Ji Heng is not as domineering as Han Yan, and the emperor loves him even more.Because of Ji Heng's status, it is reasonable for Yang Qin'an and Yang Fengjun to only meet him once or twice.

Before, both of them thought that Ji Heng was good-looking. They hadn't seen each other for several months, and this time they were sitting opposite each other. They could look at him carefully. They both looked at Ji Heng very well. They really took a good look at Ji Heng. , and then felt that this person is indeed good-looking, no wonder the emperor likes it.

Ji Heng has neither the innocence of a child nor the arrogance of a teenager. Of course, he does not have the old-fashionedness of an adult. His temperament is hard to say, but it is something that makes people feel comfortable. Only Ji Heng has it, it is the sentence that spring water is as clear as the sky, as clear as water, as high as the sky, you can only look at it from a distance, and you can't play around.

Ji Heng was about to resign after eating the imperial meal in a regular manner. The emperor wanted to keep him, but Ji Heng said he had to go home and take medicine. The emperor sighed and said, "Next time you bring the medicine with you, so that you don't have to trouble."

Ji Heng smiled, not daring to answer.

The emperor sent Ji Heng out of the palace again in a palanquin. He always thought that Ji Heng was weak. Although it was only about one kilometer from Qinzheng Hall to Danfengmen, he was still afraid that he would be exhausted.

In fact, Ji Heng really didn't want to sit in this palace sedan chair. It would definitely be a gossip and a thing that would be paid by the history secretary if he rode a horse in the palace. It would be much better than hitting a horse and walking, and I'm afraid it would even be worse.

But the emperor spoke with such deep affection, Ji Heng had no choice but to accept his affection.

After Ji Heng returned home, he first went to the study in the front yard to report to his father. His father had just returned from the yamen and was having lunch, so he asked Ji Heng, "Have you eaten yet?"

Ji Heng said, "The emperor stayed for dinner."

Mr. Ji said, "The royal meal in front of the emperor is not very full, so sit down and use some more."

Although in the palace, the emperor would always reward Ji Heng with what he thought was delicious, and he had to give him a bowl of cloth every time, but Ji Heng was actually not full every time, so he was not polite , sat down in his father's seat, and the servant brought up the bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat.

After the meal, Master Ji took Ji Heng for a walk in the yard slowly. There was no one else in the yard, so Master Ji said directly, "What do you think about your third sister?"
