Zhuo Qihua

Chapter 37

The words are divided into two parts.In the morning, Zhuo Ji went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, and Wang Bao took a box of his master's freshly baked medical books to Fengtian Palace.When Wang Bao came, Emperor Yong'an was discussing state affairs with several ministers.Wang Bao didn't wait, he handed the box to Zhang Xian, said a few words and left first.Holding the box, Zhang Xian felt itchy, but His Majesty was discussing state affairs, so he couldn't disturb it.

Zhang Xian waited and waited until noon. His Majesty finally decided to take a break and eat some snacks. Zhang Xian asked Feng Xi to bring tea and water for snacks and fruits. , Wang Bao came over and gave you a gift, Wansui. Longsui, you are busy with state affairs, so the maidservant didn't tell you."

Emperor Yong'an asked in a good mood: "What did he give?"

Zhang Xian: "Your servant doesn't know either. By the way, you will know long live when you open it."

"Oh? He didn't ask for any reward?"

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "This Wang Bao didn't say anything."

"Open it."

Zhang Xian put the box on the Kang table and lifted the lid.Zhang Xian was taken aback, and Emperor Yong'an was also taken aback. There were several books in the box, and a piece of folded paper was on top, which looked like Zhuo Ji's handwriting.

Emperor Yong'an picked up the piece of paper first, and he saw the words on the cover of the first book - "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases".The smile on Emperor Yong'an's face faded and turned serious.He opened the white paper, and there was only one sentence on it.

——Your Majesty, don't forget the minister's reward.

After the folded paper was put aside, Emperor Yong'an picked up the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", and the title of the next book was also revealed, which was "Qian's Children's Prescription".

Emperor Yong'an did not open the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" in his hand.He took out the books in the box one by one.All are medical books, nine in total.Three of them are about pediatric diseases, and the last two are "Manual of Common Pediatric Diseases Response and Preventive Measures", and the other "Self-Analysis of Some Common Diseases", both of which are signed by "Zhao Zhuo".

Emperor Yong'an opened all the medical books, and all of them were written with a quill pen.Thinking that that person seems to be very busy every day recently, Emperor Yong'an understood what that person was busy with.

Silently stroking the medical books, Emperor Yong'an said, "Zhang Xian, go and invite Hu Pengju, and say that I have something important to do with him."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xian didn't dare to delay, and went out immediately.Zhang Xian was illiterate, so he didn't know what book Shunyou gave His Majesty, but judging by His Majesty's expression, it must be a very important book.Moreover, Zhang Xian could also see that the content in the book was written by Shun You.

Hu Pengju was the previous Imperial Physician, but because of his age, he resigned and elected his apprentice Wei Yingshi as Imperial Physician.There are two Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Medical Office, Bai Shitong is older and Wei Yingshi is younger.The Imperial Physician Order who had been treating Emperor Shenzong was Hu Pengju, and Emperor Yong'an also trusted him.Hu Pengju is already 60 years old this year. Emperor Yong'an thought he was really old before, but after knowing that the average person in Zhuo Ji's life can live to 79 years old, he felt that 60 years old was still young.It's just that Hu Pengju is indeed an old man.Physicians do not self-medicate. As an imperial physician, Hu Pengju can imagine the pressure on him, and resigning early may not be an act of self-protection.

Knowing that His Majesty wanted to see him, Hu Pengju was greatly surprised, his first reaction was whether something serious happened in the palace!The second reaction was whether something serious happened to apprentice Wei Yingshi!Wei Yingshi is Hu Pengju's only apprentice, and he is like his own son.Hu Pengju was even more worried because the apprentice had been busy at the Imperial Medical Office these days, and had never heard anything embarrassing from the apprentice before.Immediately dressed neatly, followed the eunuch who came to announce the decree into the palace.

When he arrived at Fengtian Hall, Hu Pengju knelt down and kowtowed: "The grassroots Hu Pengju kowtows to His Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live——"

"Get up. Give me your seat."

Hu Pengju was even more shocked, kowtowing: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Feng Xi stepped forward to help Hu Pengju up, and Hu Pengju sat down nervously.Emperor Yong'an didn't scare the old minister, and said directly: "Hu Pengju, when you were the imperial physician, I always trusted you very much."

Hu Pengju quickly stood up and saluted: "The grass people are ashamed."

Let Hu Pengju sit down, Emperor Yong'an said: "I have several medical books here, I need a trustworthy person to read them for me, I thought of you."

Hu Pengju was flattered!Emperor Yong'an signaled, and Zhang Xian brought the box over.



In the evening, he drank pork rib porridge, ate side dishes pickled by Aunt Hua, and Zhuo Ji, who was eating as simple as his own makeup, lay on the bed and read a storybook after washing.After he recovered from his illness, Zhang Xian sent two boxes of scripts, enough for him to read for a long time.Emperor Yong'an didn't say that he couldn't make it through tonight, and Zhuo Ji didn't send anyone there either.He never cared where Emperor Yong'an spent the night, he would definitely not sleep on the street anyway.

"Master, Your Majesty is coming." Yuan Xiu came in to report, and before Zhuo Ji could respond, Emperor Yong'an, who was wearing a blue-purple uniform, walked in.Zhuo Ji was about to get up, Emperor Yong'an said, "There is no need to salute. Prepare water."

Zhuo Ji lay back, and the others went to fetch water immediately, His Majesty was about to wash up.Emperor Yong'an sat down beside Zhuo Ji and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Your Majesty, you asked Eunuch Zhang to send you the storybook, which is very interesting."

"You are the only one in this palace who likes to read these stories." Emperor Yong'an let Zhang Xian take off his shoes, and said casually: "The books you gave me, I gave to Hu Pengju, who is Wei Yingshi's master, The order of the former imperial physician. He will make a new copy of those books, and the ones you wrote will be kept with me."

Zhuo Ji was speechless: "The former Imperial Physician's Order is not too young, so there are so many books, Your Majesty, would you let him copy them all by himself?"

"Naturally, someone will help you. Your books must be taken over by a person of great status. After thinking about it, he is the most suitable person. I appointed him as the chief doctor, and led the imperial physicians from the imperial medical office to participate in the study of your medical books." But I have issued an order to keep the source of these books secret, I heard that you gave your wife a copy, and I have sent someone to inform him, do you care?"

Zhuo Ji's eyes were still on the script, he shook his head: "I always like to keep a low profile, Your Majesty's decision is in line with my wishes." Putting down the book, he raised his eyes: "However, Your Majesty's reward must not be missed."

Emperor Yong'an laughed, pressing it was a deep kiss.Zhang Xian, who was waiting for the emperor to wash his feet, tried his best to lower his head, not daring to glance randomly.After kissing Zhuo Ji until he was out of breath, Emperor Yong'an backed away and said, "I will take you out of the palace for a day, how about it?"

Zhuo Ji's eyes lit up: "Okay! Your Majesty, I like this reward!"

Emperor Yong'an touched his wet lips: "You are easy to dismiss."

"That's right, I've always been pragmatic."

Because he was leaving the palace the next day, Emperor Yong'an didn't torture Zhuo Ji to death this night, he only let him go for half an hour.After the two of them packed up and went to bed, Emperor Yong'an suddenly said, "I heard that you gave the Queen Mother a painting today?"

Zhuo Ji, who had already dozed off, muttered: "Yes."

He didn't hear Emperor Yong'an continue to speak, Zhuo Ji just pretended to be the other party and asked casually, he subconsciously prepared to fall asleep.Suddenly, his body was pulled into his arms forcefully, and his nose hit the other's hard chest, and Zhuo Ji's sleepiness was scared away by more than half in an instant.

"His Majesty?"

Rubbing the sore nasal bone, Zhuo Ji opened his eyes, and heard the deep voice of Emperor Yong'an from above: "You'only' drew a picture for the Queen Mother?"

Zhuo Ji blinked: "Yes. I just drew one. I've been too busy recently, and this one took me four days."

Emperor Yong'an's eyes were dangerous, he slapped Zhuo Ji's butt hard, and said in a deep voice, "Sleep!"

Zhuo Ji blinked, blinked again, and then he realized.He raised his arms and hugged Emperor Yong'an's waist, and said very sensiblely: "Your Majesty, how can your painting minister only take four days, and it will take four months!"

Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's butt again, but he was much gentler: "I don't mind."

"Your Majesty, during the Chinese New Year, I will give you an annual gift. Don't forget the reward from me."

"Just know the reward! In the entire Mata country, I can't find a second person who dares to ask me for a reward."

Emperor Yong'an was angry in his tone, but his actions didn't mean to be angry at all.He pulled Zhuo Ji into his bed, hugged Zhuo Ji and didn't intend to let go.

After appeasing the awkward Emperor, Zhuo Ji closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.At night, he had another nightmare and was dragged out of the nightmare in time by someone, and he had a good night's sleep.It must be admitted that when sharing the bed with Emperor Yong'an, even if he did nothing, he slept better than when he was alone.If he was tossed desperately by Emperor Yong'an, he wouldn't even remember whether he had a nightmare or not.

Emperor Yong'an would occasionally go out of the palace in subdued clothes to check on people's sentiments.Therefore, it is normal for His Majesty to leave the palace, whether it is Zhang Xian and other personal eunuchs, or the imperial guards.It's just that it's not normal for His Majesty to take Shunyou out of the palace this time.Once entering the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea, and the concubines and servants who entered the palace, unless they get the emperor's gift to go back to visit their relatives, otherwise they can only stay in the palace for the rest of their lives and have no possibility to go out.And those who are eligible to return home to visit their relatives are all extremely favored concubines, and they must be concubines and above.Zhuo Ji is just a "slut", His Majesty didn't let him go back to visit his relatives, but took him out of the palace to play!This is extraordinary!Even Jiagui Xie had never had such an honor.

Emperor Yong'an wore a black cotton uniform with a silver wolf leather jacket, a silver cloud cloak, and a silver wolf fur fur hat.Zhuo Ji was dressed in lotus-colored cotton clothes, a gray-yellow fox fur jacket, a white plum-blossom cloak, and white fox fur ear protectors and forehead.Because Zhuo Ji had to pan his head, it was inconvenient to wear a hat.Emperor Yong'an didn't allow Zhuo Ji to embarrass him. From top to bottom, except for a jade hairpin on his head, Zhuo Ji didn't miss any accessories that should be worn on his body, even the ring. five.It was cold, and the beeswax was easily damaged. Zhuo Ji wore a suet jade bracelet, that is, his ear protectors, muff and forehead were all decorated with jade and precious stones.Emperor Yong'an and Zhuo Ji walked together, one could see that they were noblemen from high families.

Emperor Yong'an led Zhuo Ji out from the corner gate of Tianshou Palace.The decoration was low-key and luxurious, but the carriage that did not show the slightest trace of the emperor brought the two of them to the most prosperous intersection of Qijin Lane in Dongluo City. Emperor Yong'an led Zhuo Ji's men out of the carriage.Zhuo Ji was not used to letting Emperor Yong'an (a man) lead him, but he couldn't bear Emperor Yong'an's request (order).The imperial guards dressed up as ordinary house guards followed around, and the fifty imperial guards were also dressed in ordinary clothes, protecting them in the open or in the dark, near or far.Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Xiao Hui and Chang Jing followed behind the master.Wu Si all pretended to be the most ordinary servants, and fell behind Zhang Xian and the others.

There was just a heavy snowfall, and the streets were piled up with snow that had been swept away, but the roads had already been cleaned.After all, it is the capital of Matata, and the roads that have snowed are cleared in time.Zhuo Ji is no stranger to Dongluo City, no one cared about him when he was in Zhuo Mansion.His monthly routine money is not much, but it is enough for a person who doesn't make friends and doesn't like shopping.His biological mother was just a housekeeper of Zhuo Wentai's. After he was born, he was taken away by his side wife who had never married. The biological mother was also sent out of the house by Lai's family and married a farmer.After he passed the examination as a scholar, Zhuo Wentai put his family identity under the name of his aunt and sent him to the palace as a aunt.

If Zhuo Ji wasn't a wise man, then he would definitely be useless in this life.However, the Zhuo Mansion's indifference and indifference attitude towards him, the concubine young master, made him feel like a fish in water in the Zhuo Mansion, and he didn't mind that there was no one around him to serve him.Not two years after the concubine took him away, he gave birth to a son one after another, a brother, who just raised him purely.Ever since Zhuo Ji was promoted as elegant and canonized as a master, the master of Zhuo Mansion regretted so much that his intestines were green. He regretted Zhuo Ji's extra indifference and indifference to Zhuo Ji when he was in the mansion, and they never saw Zhuo Ji again. Ji, don't ask if Ji hates them and doesn't want to see them.

Trapped in the Zhuo Mansion for one year, trapped in the palace for three years, standing in Qijin Lane again, Zhuo Ji sighed: "I haven't seen you for four years, there are still some changes."

Emperor Yong'an raised his eyebrows: "Just 'some'?"

Zhuo Ji nodded: "We don't want demolition in Damata country, and the 'some' change already shows that His Majesty has managed the country well."

Emperor Yong'an: "What is demolition?"

"It is to tear down those old and bad buildings, destroy the roads, build high-rise buildings again, and build a Kangzhuang Avenue."

Knowing that he was talking about that life again, Emperor Yong'an squeezed Zhuo Ji's hand: "I heard that before you enter the palace, you especially like to go to the theater to listen to music and watch plays."

Zhuo Ji chuckled, and said: "I just want to go to sleep. Listening to those little songs, babbling dramas, taking a nap, how pleasant it is."

Emperor Yong'an shook Zhuo Ji's hand hard, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You are really... During the palace banquet, Yan Xuan played the piano, and you yawned continuously, so you were sleepy?"

Zhuo Ji is very innocent: "I have already become a conditioned reflex. When I hear playing the piano and singing, my eyelids will feel sleepy."

"Hehehe..." Emperor Yong'an chuckled a few times, Zhuo Ji sang well, but he was the one who fell asleep when he heard the song, so he didn't know what to say.Zhang Xian and the others who were following the two heard His Majesty and Shun You's low-pitched conversation, and the four suppressed their laughter.

Originally, today's itinerary included going to the theater to listen to the music, but Zhuo Ji fell asleep when he heard it, so Emperor Yong'an naturally canceled it.Zhuo Ji couldn't forget the snacks in Dongluo City, since he didn't go to listen to the song, Emperor Yong'an gave up his life to accompany the gentleman and Zhuo Ji to eat.But it was too cold outside, Emperor Yong'an only allowed Zhuo Ji to eat three or four snacks, and after eating, he either went back to the palace or went to the theater as planned.

"There is a shop in Shuiyun Alley in Qijin Alley that sells oily noodles. I can linger on the taste for days after eating it once. Master, let's go eat it."

Emperor Yong'an: "Eat it yourself."

His Majesty the Emperor accompanied him, but he would never eat.
