Emperor's Trophy

When Yun Zhen came out, he saw the imperial doctor waiting in the flower hall. Ji Bingyuan saw him lift his chin slightly: "Sit there and let the imperial doctor treat you. Next time, I will explain to Gao Xin, pay attention to the weather."

The little servant leaned over with the pillow in his hands, Yun Zhen stretched out his hand and waited for the imperial doctor to check his pulse, and said with a playful smile: "The imperial guards can't even get drenched in the rain, that's no good, the emperor should not talk to Commander Gao, so as to save Commander Gao I can't see it in my heart."

Ji Bingyuan said: "Is it important whether others see you or not? Just stand up for yourself."

Yun Zhen blushed: "The problem is that I don't know if I can stand up."

After the imperial doctor checked the pulse, he saluted and went down to write the pulse case, only to see the palace people coming to set meals in an endless stream.

Ji Bingyuan took his seat, saw Yunzhen sit down, and served him food as usual, Yunzhen saw that Ji Bingyuan's expression and behavior were the same as before, and felt a little relieved, so he ate dinner as usual, But today I don’t know why it’s really hot. He probably wore too many robes, and the room was very stuffy. He didn’t have a good appetite, so he ate some casually. layers of guard uniforms.

But seeing Ding Dai come back from nowhere, he personally brought a bowl of medicinal soup to Yunzhen: "Master Hou, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to dispel dampness. You have been drenched in the rain today, so you must drink it to dispel dampness. So as not to save the root of the disease."

As soon as Yun Zhen saw the dark medicinal soup, a bitter taste appeared on the base of his tongue: "...it's only been raining for a while, and I also drank some wine just now..."

Ji Bingyuan knocked on the table: "Drink it." The voice was full of deterrence.

Yun Zhen didn't dare to speak anymore, so he quickly picked it up and drank it. He drank it all in one gulp, didn't dare to leave a mouthful, and then his whole face wrinkled—the taste was too indescribable.

Qingsong hurriedly came over with candied fruit, Yun Zhen quickly stuffed it into his mouth, all the colorful revolving doors on his face, Ji Bingyuan's mouth curled up slightly: "How about it, I want to serve you some ice, sweet and sour, Bing Bing of?"

Yun Zhen said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was really thirsty for a while. The lady with happy eyebrows took care of me before. When I saw my old friend looking kind, she spoke freely. Your Majesty, don't you?" Remember the villain, forgive my sin, right?"

Ji Bingyuan had a lot of meaning: "Hmm - it looks kind."

Yun Zhen said: "Yes, in the past when my mother and I entered the palace, she was the one who took care of me. Sometimes when my mother had to discuss matters with you, she would sing to me, comb my hair and dress me. I remember her. "

Ji Bingyuan nodded: "Since this lady with happy eyebrows has served the eldest princess and you, she is of course meritorious. She is about to leave the palace. Since you look kind, why don't I reward her with you?" The person in the room?" His tone was calm, as if he was just as casual as he was before when he was rewarding gems and white horses.

Yun Zhen took a mouthful of candied fruit and almost spewed it out, coughed hurriedly to cover it up: "Your Majesty! I think she is just like a sister!"

Ji Bingyuan looked at his expression, and said lightly: "You are about the same age, and you need some older women with good temperament to teach you. It's okay if you don't like this. You can see what kind of temperament you like, lively, gentle It's all right, I asked Ding Dai to carefully select a few innocent and elegant temperaments among the female officials in the palace, and if you have a fancy, just tell me."

Yun Zhen waved his hand: "Your Majesty, please don't, don't miss the future of good girls, let them go back and reunite with their families."

Ji Bingyuan said: "You are a Marquis of the first grade, and you have a bright future. You are young and handsome, and if you can enter the Marquis's Mansion, it will be a matter for the whole family to ascend to heaven. How can ordinary people not be happy about it?"

Yun Zhen didn't know how the topic got here, so he could only keep rejecting the emperor's sudden idea of ​​rewarding him: "Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs every day, so you really don't have to worry about such trivial matters as my ministers."

Ji Bingyuan said: "You also call me uncle. Your parents are not here. As your elder, I will naturally make arrangements for you. Young people don't know how to restrain themselves, and you are left alone in the house. I don't care. "

Yun Zhen sighed: "Your majesty, don't worry in vain. I don't like women, I only like men." He suddenly felt that it was most appropriate to cut Ji Bingyuan's mind directly, anyway, he was so shocking in the first life that he wanted to be with Zhu Jiang Ji Bingyuan didn't blame her at all for getting married.

Your majesty has insight into the sage, so it is better to confess it as soon as possible to save him from wasting time on himself. One day, he will reward a few palace servants, and tomorrow he will make a fuss about marrying himself a wife. Those who are rewarded by the palace are not easy to deal with. Greatly offended the entire family, but the emperor's idea of ​​giving marriages and rewarding people was given up.

He added: "I don't plan to marry a wife and have children. Your Majesty, please don't waste your time on this."

The hall was silent.

Ji Bingyuan was originally receiving the hot towel from Ding Dai's hand, but when he heard Yun Zhen say this, his hand stopped, and after a while, he slowly took the towel and wiped his fingers slowly: "Where did it come out like this? If you are childish... Who took you to some low-level places such as Nanfeng Pavilion and Xiaoxi? Just talk nonsense when you learn some new words, how old are you? One idea a day, don't pester me tomorrow to say that you like it I have married a lady from a famous family and asked me to give her a marriage."

Yun Zhen smiled and said: "Hey, I knew that uncle would not teach me about family inheritance, human relations and other important matters. Anyway, I don't like women. Your Majesty, just don't waste your time."

Ji Bingyuan put the towel back on the tray, and said calmly: "You have been naughty all day, if your parents were not gone, I wouldn't be bothered to teach you—don't talk nonsense outside, it will damage your reputation."

Yun Zhen said: "I didn't tell anyone about it, this is what I said today...don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty."

Ji Bingyuan glanced at Yun Zhen's face, seeing that the blush on his face after taking a bath had disappeared, and said, "Do you still feel hot?"

It was only then that Yun Zhen realized that the bowl of medicinal soup seemed to have the effect of promoting body fluids and quenching thirst. The hotness on his body and the fever on his face subsided, and he quickly smiled and said, "It's not hot anymore, I think it's getting dark, and the yang energy has receded." gone?"

Ji Bingyuan confessed: "Some loquats and pears were brought up from the south, and I will send some for you to take back to the mansion later. The gate of the palace is about to be closed, so let them wait for you to go back first."

Yun Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "It couldn't be better! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward, and it's not too late for you to criticize the paper!" He got up quickly, for fear that the emperor would punish him for writing big characters if he remembered something.

Ji Bingyuan watched Qingsong send the monkey away with a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Ding Dai, his eyes were cold and heavy.

Ding Dai, who had served Ji Bingyuan for many years, knelt down. He knew that the emperor, who showed no signs of emotion, was already furious.

He reported back in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that some deer blood, deer antler, cistanche, wolfberry and other tonics are mixed in the wine, which has little effect on the body. Prescribe a dose of Qingbuliang and drink it, go back and dissipate it, and it will be fine."

"As for the source of the medicine, I also asked clearly. The lady with happy eyebrows has been in the palace for 18 years and knows many people. She told the doctor in the imperial pharmacy that she was weak and cold. The prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor was taken in the pharmacy. I took a few samples, and in the name of improving eyesight, I prescribed some goji berries and the like, saying that I want to soak them in water to drink."

"She made a confession because she was about to leave the palace and return to her hometown. Her family was poor, her father was a gambler, and she was too old to marry a good man. She was worried that she would be betrayed by her family when she went back. Seeing that Hou Zhaoxin was soft-hearted and kind since he was a child He also knew that Marquis Zhaoxin was deeply favored by the emperor, and that if he spoke to the emperor, he would do nothing against him, so he took the risk. It rained heavily in the afternoon, and there were fewer servants in Tiren Palace, and it was common for him to take over the duties. Lord suddenly came back to make arrangements for a bath, and the servants in the palace were busy boiling water to make arrangements, and she was a high-ranking female official in Tiren Palace, so she offered to help, and the eunuch in charge didn't think too much about it."

"I took the confessions of the maids who are close to her, the servants, the imperial pharmacy and the eunuchs on duty, and they are basically correct. There is no sign of someone instigating them. Ximei insisted that it was because of the growth of the young master. Noble, with a handsome face, he fell in love with him. In addition, the Hou Mansion has no elders to control him. No one is instigating behind the scenes. Ximei and the others are temporarily being held in prison pending trial."

"This matter is a minor failure to take good care of the Tiren Palace. Please forgive the emperor."

Ding Dai knelt down and touched his forehead deeply to the dark black ground, his back was sweating, and being tampered with while eating was no different from treason.There were two leaks in the palace one after another, one with a green pine and one with a happy eyebrow. Knowing that the emperor's surroundings are impenetrable, but they always ordered Hou Ye, he was too careless.

Ji Bingyuan didn't speak, and after a while he said: "You have always been cautious and mature, but recently you have really slacked off on Ji Xiang'er, and I will give you a way to redeem your sins." His little Ji Xiang has grown up and is so handsome Being outstanding, being coveted by women with ulterior motives is normal, but right now there are other things that are more important than this.

"Go and investigate carefully, who made Ji Xianger take Long Yang's heart."

Ding Dai was stunned, and quickly kowtowed in response: "Yes, I'll go and investigate immediately to see who led Master Hou to an unscrupulous place. If found out, he must be severely punished."

Ji Bingyuan shook his head: "He has been keeping his filial piety at home before. If he really went to those places, even if the chief history of the mansion had not been reported, the impeachment of the censor would have been on my desk long ago. You don't understand, if it's just with Beijing He is like those honorable dandies in the movie, greedy for novelty, curious and mischievous, raising bookboys and entertaining actors, it’s all right, it’s easy to get them back, just teach him some truths carefully. But what did you hear him say? It is said that he only likes men and does not marry wives and have children."

"I look at him these days. Although he is young and mischievous, his homework is neglected, and he looks like a wild horse all day long, he is very successful in his heart. He is rewarded for his meritorious service in the Emperor's Temple, and he disposes of green pine. When he said this, he definitely didn’t say it casually, he meant it seriously.”

"You and Gao Xin, go to Zhaoxin Hou's mansion to check carefully, check the bookboys and doormen around him, check the so-called 'adopted sons', check his daily friends, but don't disturb Ji Xianger, Don't let him notice."

Ji Bingyuan said slowly: "I want to know, who is it that makes Ji Xianger suddenly realize that she loves men."
