The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

The next day Ji Heng went to the palace and arrived at the east side hall of Qinzheng Hall. Zhao Zhili, who was always early, did not come that day.

When the emperor came in, he was surprised to find that Zhao Zhili was not there, "Didn't my cousin come?"

Ji Heng was practicing calligraphy, got up and saluted him and said, "I didn't see Mr. Zhao."

The emperor took another look at Zhao Zhili's position, then turned around and smiled at Ji Heng, and said, "It's rare that my cousin arrives later than me."

Thinking of what Xu Qilang said last night, Ji Heng saw Zhao Zhili at Xiaohe Bridge. He didn't know whether Zhao Zhili stayed out too late and didn't go home so that he missed the time to enter the palace, or whether he was killed by his family later. He was caught and fined and could not enter the palace for one day.

Although the Zhao family is very arrogant and domineering in the capital, the Zhao family has strict requirements on their descendants. Zhao Zhili is very proud. Speaking of which, he really has the capital to be proud. In and out of the palace.

He went in and out of the kung fu workshop and was arrested and punished by his family, which was actually reasonable.

Although Ji Heng knew this, he didn't tell the emperor, but said, "Maybe he will come after a while."

The emperor smiled, and didn't say anything about Zhao Zhili, but moved closer to Ji Heng, startled Ji Heng, and quickly hid back, wondering, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The emperor's eyes were burning, and he said, "I looked at your bruised face. Although I looked at it before, but I didn't look at it carefully. I looked at it before, and it seemed to be completely healed, but when I looked closely, there were still some traces."

Ji Heng sighed helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to care about this injury, such a little injury, I am a man, what can I do."

The emperor's eyes flickered, he and Ji Heng were the only ones in the room, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "At that time, Xu Xuan and I had a very close relationship, the queen mother felt that I was closer to Xu Xuan than my cousin, and thought Xu Xuan would The meaning of the Duke of Pingguo was conveyed to me. I was worried that I would be closer to the Duke of Pingguo than the Zhao family. I had no choice but to break with Xu Xuan. I knew that Xu Xuan hurt you at the time, but I just didn’t expect it. He will hurt your face. Junqing, I am sorry for you."

The emperor looked at Ji Heng with dark eyes, the apology and remorse in it were very obvious, it was not a lie at all, Ji Heng sighed in his heart, of course he couldn't say that he knew what the emperor meant, so he said, "Your Majesty , being useful to you is my greatest luck. I don't care."

The emperor reached out and grabbed Ji Heng's hand, held it tightly, and looked straight at him, as if at this moment, he had nothing but Ji Heng in his eyes, "Don't say such things, it's my right I can't help but remember you. In the future, I will definitely compensate you."

Ji Heng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the emperor could remember what he said today after seeing the marks on his face, that would be good.

He said, "Your Majesty, you have treated me so sincerely, and I will remember it forever."

The emperor just smiled, raised his right hand, and stroked Ji Heng's face, Ji Heng couldn't avoid it, so he had to let him touch it.

Ji Heng said again, "The emperor, my father, said something to me yesterday, I hope I can tell the emperor to you."

The emperor nodded, "What are you talking about?"

Ji Heng said, "Father is very worried about the emperor's safety in the palace. He said that King Wu privately raised a navy by the sea in Songjiang County, hoping to let the emperor know about it."

The emperor seemed to have known about this a long time ago, and his expression didn't change much, but the relaxation just now was indeed swept away, his eyes sank, and he sighed, "I know, King Wu has always been I want the position of emperor."

Ji Heng said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. There are many courtiers who are looking for you. You are the master of the world, and you are the object of allegiance."

The emperor smiled, but suddenly leaned his face on Ji Heng's shoulder. Ji Heng froze because of this, but heard the emperor whisper, "The people are the most important, and the king is the least. I also know this truth. I am sick. It will be uncomfortable, I miss my mother holding my hand, and I will be afraid living in an empty palace, I hope that someone will be with me all the time... I just know that I am just an ordinary person. It’s me, it’s better to say it’s the throne, if King Wu really replaces me, how many people are willing to be buried with me.”

Ji Heng felt sore, he didn't know that the emperor could see so clearly at such a young age.

But often the more clearly you see, the more lonely and sad you feel.

The strength of a person is like a cocoon on the hand, only after experiencing pain will it harden.

Ji Heng stretched his arms around the emperor's waist, and said softly, "I will accompany you, Your Majesty, even if it is buried with you."

The emperor raised his head to look at him, his eyes were shining because of moisture, he just looked at Ji Heng without speaking.

Ji Heng was puzzled for a while by his gentle and predatory gaze, and also a little frightened.

It was the sudden voice from outside that freed Ji Heng from his embarrassment.

Outside, Liu Sheng'er said through the curtain, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yi, the book boy of Prince Zhao, came into the palace and said that Prince Zhao is ill and cannot come today."

Only then did the emperor take a step away from Ji Heng, and said to the outside world, "I know. Just let my cousin recover from his illness."

After Liu Sheng'er agreed, he went out quietly to talk to Zhao Yi.

The emperor turned to Ji Heng, smiled at him again, seemed satisfied, and returned to his seat to read a book.

Zhao Zhili didn't know what happened, and he didn't enter the palace for the next few days. The reason was that he was sick, and he was afraid of passing on his sickness to the emperor.

In addition to asking Zhao Zhili to recuperate, the emperor also sent some medicinal materials. It might be difficult for him to leave the palace now, so he didn't go out to see Zhao Zhili himself.

Ji Heng intended to go to Zhao's house to visit Zhao Zhili, but before he went, he met Zhao Zhili outside.

Zhang Xu was going back to Jiangnan to take the provincial exam in June, so he decided to entertain friends at the end of May.

Because Ji Heng was going to the palace as a companion, he was only free during his ten-day break.

He has two days off at the end of the month, so Zhang Xu's banquet was scheduled for May 29th.

Ji Heng and Xu Qilang went to Zhang's house in a carriage in the morning.

Zhang's house is not far from Ji's house, but it's not very close either. They live in Liushang Lane in the east of the city.

In Liushang Lane, there used to be a well-known Liushang Qushui Pavilion in Beijing. However, due to housing shortages in the capital, the Liushang Qushui Pavilion was abolished and a house was built.But the place name here has not changed.

The Zhang family's house is not too small, it is a three-entry yard. Zhang Cheng, the boss of the Zhang family, works in the Defense Department of the capital.He and his wife have already moved out, so the second child Zhang Xu and the eldest sister live in a separate courtyard.

Ji Heng took Xu Qilang over there, and was naturally welcomed by the Zhang family. Ji Heng first went to see the wife of the Zhang family, and then went to see the eldest sister.

The eldest sister is pregnant, but her belly is not yet obvious.

Her appearance is not very outstanding, but she has a gentle and demure temperament, which makes people feel good.

Ji Heng is not affectionate to her, but he is the eldest son in the family, and the elder sister treats him very well.

After taking him to sit in his guest room, he asked softly, "Brother, how are you these days?"

Ji Heng smiled and said, "It's all good, there's nothing wrong with it. You are the eldest sister. You have to take care of yourself when you are pregnant. Originally, the third and fourth sisters also wanted to come to see you, but they were afraid that the brother-in-law would entertain guests." , are all male customers, afraid of collision, so I didn't come, but I agreed to come to see you in a few days, to relieve your boredom."

The eldest sister laughed and said, "It's good that they can come."

As he said that, he looked at Ji Heng's face again, and said, "I think the injury on your face is healed. I learned that you injured your face before, and no one in the family is not in a hurry. This is an official in the palace. It must be a good thing."

When she said this, she sighed, and then urged, "Your brother, you should take care of your health. Maybe you think your elder sister has no ambition, but I really think it's perfectly correct to repent and teach your husband and son-in-law to seek a title. .”

Ji Heng said, "Sister, you really thought it through. But my brother-in-law is going to the country for the test, and he will be back soon, and he will definitely be able to catch up with the birth of our little nephew."

The eldest sister smiled and said, "I hope so."

The two of them had nothing more to say, so Ji Heng left.

The repentant husband's son-in-law seeks a title.

Ji Heng was still thinking about this sentence when he left the elder sister's yard. He could also choose an easy path, but in order not to be in this world in vain, he couldn't face life so calmly.

Zhang Xu didn't entertain friends at home, so after Ji Heng visited his eldest sister, he took Ji Heng and Xu Qilang out in a carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of a yard. Zhang Xu got out of the car first, then Xu Qilang, and Ji Heng got out of the car last. Behind the courtyard is a beautiful garden with sparse flowers and trees, bamboo pavilions, curved water, and flower pavilions.

Several people were already there, and seeing Zhang Xu coming in, one of them was the most enthusiastic, so he came forward and said, "You said you were the last to arrive."

Every time Zhang Xu came to Ji's house, he was very old-fashioned and respectful, but in front of his friends, he was very hearty, so hearty that he had the spirit and publicity of a teenager, and laughed loudly, "I will punish myself three times later." Just the cup."

Ji Heng and Xu Qilang followed behind Zhang Xu, and at this time they appeared from behind Zhang Xu, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Ji Heng's appearance was extremely outstanding in the Jiangnan Water Village, but when he came to the capital of Beidi, his delicate appearance was even more eye-catching among the rougher people in Beidi.

Several of Zhang Xu's friends looked at him, almost in a daze for a moment. It was Xue Gan who came to his senses first and broke the embarrassment, and quickly asked, "Who are these two? I haven't met them before."

Zhang Xu has always understood the charm of Ji Heng's appearance, so he didn't find it strange to see that several of his friends were attracted by his appearance, so he quickly introduced with a smile, "This is my wife's younger brother, Ji Heng, this It's my wife's cousin, Xu Dachuan, Xingqi, call him Qilang."
