Zhuo Qihua

When Zhuo Ji arrived at Huayang Palace, Huang Guixie had just taken a nap.When Huang Guixie came to the East Pavilion, he saw Zhuo Ji lying listlessly on the kang table, he walked slowly to Luohan's bed and sat down, asking, "What's the matter? He looks sullen."

"depressed."

"depressed?"

Zhuo Ji lay down directly to the side, paralyzed.Huang Guixie raised his hand, and Chang'an backed out.Zhuo Ji stared blankly at the ceiling and said: "Now I have become a veritable 'Song Zi Zu Chu', and I am really going to be laughed to death."

Miss Huang sneered: "Didn't you say that you are 'Song Zi Zu Zu'? Why, are you unhappy again?"

"I was just joking, it was just a coincidence!"

Huang Guixie: "Is it because of this that you are unhappy?"

Zhuo Ji: "Not all of them. Brother Yao, I can only allocate a month's worth of Dali Jingangwan for you. I prepared it for four months, but His Majesty gave it away."

"Send it away?"

"Give it to Lin Newei. It's better to take advantage of my absence."

The light in Huanggui's eyes flashed quickly, and she asked with a smile, "What do you mean when you're not around?"

"I was still sleeping. Your Majesty asked Chang Jing to go to Xiangfu Palace, took away all the Dali Vajra Pills in my hand, and gave them to Lin Neiwei. Your Majesty also asked me to make more, saying that he would reward the ministers." Zhuo Ji With a distressed look on his face, "I didn't have the nerve to mention it at the time, but His Majesty should also pay for it."

Huang Guixie picked up the handkerchief at hand and threw it over: "Your Majesty asked you to contribute, but you still dare to ask His Majesty for money, you really have the guts of a bear."

Zhuo Ji picked up the veil on his face and sat up: "It's not one person or two people, nor is it a month or two months. The medicinal materials can be ignored, but I have to spend time and energy in dispensing medicine. Your Majesty takes my time and energy Going to send favors, of course I feel uncomfortable."

Empress Dowager: "Don't mention this matter to Your Majesty, I will tell His Majesty here."

Zhuo Ji: "I have to study our new business in the past two months, and I don't have much time to dispense medicine. There is one more thing I have to trouble Brother Yao."

"What's the matter?"

"The small mirror I mentioned to Shi Shangshu may have to be supplied by Liulichang. In addition, there are some small accessories that need to be made by professional craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. But this is a private matter, and I also It’s not easy to bother Your Majesty with our business affairs, but I can’t go directly to Shi Shangshu. Brother Yao, can you talk to the Ministry of Industry directly as the empress?”

The imperial concubine: "The harem is not allowed to engage in government affairs. Although I am an imperial concubine, I cannot directly contact the ministers of the former court. You first write a charter, and I will find a way to find Shi Yu for what you need. Let Shi Yu's two concubines become pregnant, he is grateful to you, and he will not fail to help with this favor."

Zhuo Ji sighed: "What's the use of being grateful, I didn't see him being polite when it was time to take the medicine. Your majesty even made fun of me, saying that whoever dares not listen to your majesty in the future, let me "send your son" to judge anyone The incense of the family. If this word is really spread, I will be ashamed to face people."

Your Majesty: "Your Majesty really said that?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Huanggui Xie pursed her lips and smiled sullenly, Zhuo Ji complained: "It's not because of Brother Yao, your three sister-in-laws are pregnant with pearls, and it just so happens that King Wu Shao and the concubine of Prince Xianyi's palace are also pregnant, otherwise I wouldn't It will be used as a joke by His Majesty."

The imperial concubine was surprised: "Wu Shaowang's concubine and Xianyi's concubine are pregnant?"

Zhuo Ji nodded: "It's not yet three months, so I didn't tell the outside world. It was the day Brother Yao told me that your three sister-in-laws were pregnant, King Wu Shao and King Xianyi brought their son into the palace and said that his concubine was pregnant. I didn't know I just prescribed some health-care medicine for the two princes, but it turned out to be wrong. Because of this, His Majesty often teases me with 'send the son'."

Huang Guixie: "It's not an exaggeration to say that you are 'Song Zi 俍俍'. You see, since His Majesty picked you up from the West Third Courtyard, one after another in the palace is pregnant..."

"Ah—don't say it, it's a coincidence! A coincidence!"

"Ha ha……"

Miss Huang changed the subject and asked, "Why are you moving back so well? The glass in your Xiangfu Palace hasn't been changed yet."

Zhuo Ji still looked limp, and replied: "Our new business, I need some time to study, and the body of the imperial concubine has also recuperated, and it is not suitable for me to live in Fengtian Palace all the time. Brother Yao, tell you You must keep this matter a secret, and I haven't told anyone about it."

Huang Guixie: "I won't tell anyone in this palace."

Zhuo Ji lowered his voice: "Your Majesty is ready, and the Imperial Commander will personally conquer."

"what?!"

"Shh-!"

The imperial concubine was anxious: "Your Majesty wants to take the imperial conquest? Where!"

"North Valley."

"..." Huang Guixie immediately remembered that Zhuo Ji had said before that he would give birth before March, and hurriedly asked, "But March?"

Zhuo Ji nodded: "Your Majesty will wait for Duke Sui to come back before making an order. You must keep it a secret. I don't know exactly why Your Majesty wants to conquest in person. It is certain that it has something to do with Duke Sui." Zhuo Ji got up and said seriously: "Brother Yao, King Qin is the eldest son. King Qin has to go for His Majesty's first royal expedition after ascending the throne."

Huang Guixie's eyes visibly opened wide.Zhuo Ji: "King Qin is not only the son of His Majesty, but also the king of the county, the eldest son of His Majesty. Brother Yao, you can't always protect King Qin under your wings. When you should be cruel, you need to be cruel. Your Majesty has great ambitions. The sooner Qin Wang participates in every wise and important matter of His Majesty, the faster he can grow up. Qin Wang is the eldest son, and he is destined to bear more than others."

Huang Guixie took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I understand."

"Brother Yao, you must not reveal it until His Majesty makes an order."

"I'll save it for you, don't worry." After a pause, the empress asked in a low voice, "Can you go together?"

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, but I definitely want to go together."

Huang Guixie nodded: "You can go with me so that I can feel at ease. By the way, Beigu is bitterly cold, you have to prepare some medicines in advance. You need to write a list of medicinal materials, and I will send someone to buy them as soon as possible. Sui Guogong doesn't know yet. When will you be able to return to Beijing, I am afraid that you will not be able to make it in time."

Zhuo Ji: "Indeed. Then I'll go back and write the list now, and I'll write you a charter for the things you need in the business. Brother Yao, just pretend you don't know about this, and you can't tell anyone about it."

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness."

Zhuo Ji left, Huang Guixie took two deep breaths and called, "Chang'an."

"The servant is here."

Chang'an came in, and the noble concubine ordered: "You go to the Lijin Hall, I want to make some clothes and soft shoes for the King of Qin."

"Yes."

After leaving Huayang Palace, Zhuo Ji went straight back to Fengtian Palace to find Emperor Yong'an.As soon as he entered the room, Emperor Yong'an asked, "What does Ming Xun want you for?"

Zhuo Ji: "Brother Yue asked me for some 'Golden Phoenix Pill' for his sister-in-law and younger siblings. By the way, he asked me about my business. He was afraid that I would not have enough capital. Brother Yue is really rich."

Emperor Yong'an smiled: "He should be nice to you."

Zhuo Ji walked up to Emperor Yong'an and pulled his hand away.Emperor Yong'an naturally leaned back and let Zhuo Ji sit up.Zhuo Ji sat on Emperor Yong'an's lap, wrapped his arms around his neck and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"Say."

"Yujia personally marches, you take King Qin with you."

Emperor Yong'an's eyes were deep: "Who told you what?" How could Emperor Yong'an not know about the rumors that Zhuo Ji was the empress.

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, you have given King Qin and King Qi such great titles, so you can no longer treat them as children. King Qin will be eight years old after the new year. Although he has not yet passed his eighth birthday, he can still grow up. I have seen it. Your Majesty hopes that the princes will grow up to be open-minded and have a long-term vision, so they have to be cultivated from an early age. If King Qi is not too young and not in good health, I would also suggest that you bring King Qi this time."

Emperor Yong'an: "Did someone tell you something?"

Zhuo Ji curled his lips: "You really can't hide anything from Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an lightly rubbed Zhuo Ji's lips with his thumb, and said, "If I don't say anything, it doesn't mean I don't know. I'm afraid I'm asking you to ask for the 'Golden Phoenix Pill' if I ask you tomorrow?"

Zhuo Ji: "Brother Yao will handle this matter, and Brother Yue is just afraid that someone from the previous dynasty will use this to accuse me and say that I am a concubine or something. They don't believe your Majesty too much, Your Majesty, you are so blind What? Hiss——!" Zhuo Ji's waist was pinched by Emperor Yong'an, and he didn't understand why Emperor Yong'an also liked to pinch people.

Zhuo Ji gnawed on Emperor Yong'an's mouth and said: "When Sui Guogong comes back, the rumors will disappear without attack. I really think His Majesty can take King Qin there."

"I will consider it."

Zhuo Ji let go of Emperor Yong'an and stood up: "I want to write a constitution to Brother Yao."

"What charter?"

"Some things to be used in business require brother Yao to come forward and discuss with Shi Yu."

Emperor Yong'an said with an unpredictable expression: "Then you go, I will read a few more papers."

Zhuo Ji went back to his desk, picked up his quill, and Emperor Yong'an also picked up a memorial.Zhuo Ji never read Emperor Yong'an's memorials, even if Emperor Yong'an showed him.But Emperor Yong'an would look at what Zhuo Ji wrote from time to time.

Before dinner, Zhuo Ji asked Chang Jing to send the list of medicinal materials and the list of items that needed the help of the Ministry of Industry to Huayang Palace.After dinner, Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji to Yuqing Pool.Tomorrow, Zhuo Ji will move back to Xiangfu Palace, so what will Emperor Yong'an do tonight.He begged Zhuo Ji once in Yuqing Lake, and Emperor Yong'an brought Zhuo Ji back to his bedroom and doted on him twice.After finishing Zhuo Ji's drowsiness, Emperor Yong'an touched his naked body and said lazily: "After returning to Xiangfu Palace tomorrow, let's close the palace gate."

Zhuo Ji closed his eyes and said "hmm" without asking why.

"Zhuo Ji, do you want to be a queen?"

"I want to go back to the West Third Hospital..."

"Bold!"

"Your Majesty, the four-month supply of Vajra Pills...you haven't got it yet, give me the money..."

"I really dote on you."

"Your Majesty... I'm sleepy..."

Finding a comfortable position in Emperor Yong'an's arms, Zhuo Ji fell asleep.Emperor Yong'an looked down at him, kissed his forehead, and closed his eyes.

When Zhuo Ji woke up the next day on Emperor Yong'an's dragon bed, Emperor Yong'an had already got up and went to work as usual.Zhuo Ji got up, washed, ate, and then took Chang Jing and Xiao Hui back to Xiangfu Palace. All his things had been moved back yesterday.Back at Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji ordered the gate to be closed.By the way, he actually moved back to Xiangfu Palace!The glass of Xiangfu Palace has not been changed yet.How is this going?Except for a few people who knew the inside story, the rest of the people were guessing the deep meaning behind this matter.

After knowing that Zhuo Ji had officially moved back to Xiangfu Palace, Concubine Xi felt a little confused.Ruyi secretly asked: "Your Majesty, by the way, won't you be angry with His Majesty again?"

Concubine Xi: "Guess what? If he got angry with His Majesty, His Majesty would have taken him to Yuqing Pool last night?" Ever since Zhuo Ji came out of the West Third Courtyard, His Majesty has never brought anyone else to Yuqing Pool. .

Ruyi: "Then why did you move back to Xiangfu Palace?"

Concubine Xi: "Why he moved back to Xiangfu Palace, you will know in the future. Go down, I am exhausted."

"Yes……"

Ruyi retreated, Concubine Xi let out a long breath, and whispered: "How can you be so generous? You really don't care?"

After eating a bowl of wontons in Fengtian Temple at noon, Emperor Yong'an went to Huayang Palace.Huang Guixie had just finished lunch and was about to take a lunch break when His Majesty came suddenly, which surprised him.The first thing Emperor Yong'an said when he sat down was: "Is your body okay?"

Huang Guixie replied with a smile: "Everything is fine, minister. Shunxi came over yesterday to show minister, and said that the fetal position is very upright. He said that minister should not eat too much in a day now, lest the child grow too big."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "The fetal position is just fine."

Huang Guixie: "Your Majesty, did Shunxi lose his temper with you?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Why do you ask that?"

"He stayed well in Fengtian Palace, but suddenly moved back to Xiangfu Palace. By the way, His Majesty gave Lin Neiwei all the Vajra Pills in his hand, but are you unhappy about it?"

Emperor Yong'an followed Huang Guixie's words and said, "I didn't inform him in advance. Why, did he complain to you?"

"That's not true. However, Shunxi has been busy all day long, so it's understandable for His Majesty to reward the courtiers with diamond pills, but Shunxi's share of rewards cannot be missed. The preparation of the medicine is also a labor-intensive thing."

Emperor Yong'an snorted angrily: "He must have complained to you. Last night he told me that I should give him money for taking his medicine!"

The noble lady pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "There are so many ministers in the previous dynasty, if your majesty only rewarded one or two, it's okay to reward once or twice. If it's normal, your majesty should still give Shun some compensation. Giving money seems to be out of place. By the way, if you like something to eat, Your Majesty should buy him a restaurant, and then he will go out of the palace to go to the pharmacy, at least there will be a place where he can eat and drink with peace of mind."

Emperor Yong'an thought deeply, and the noble lady said: "The profit of this restaurant is small, and the most important thing is safety, don't worry."

Emperor Yong'an nodded slowly: "You have a good idea. He is a good eater. Now he has to go out of the palace often to teach Hu Pengju their medical skills, and I don't want him to eat badly."

Huang Guixie: "He taught Doctor Hu the first medical skills?"

Emperor Yong'an: "He is my servant, so we can't ask him to come forward every time someone needs an operation. It is imperative to teach Hu Pengju, Wei Yingshi and Bai Shitong. Others don't know about this matter. You are in charge of the palace. , you have to have a bottom line in your heart."

Huang Guixie immediately said: "I understand. But..." After a pause, Huang Guixie asked: "Your Majesty, who did you inherit Shunxi's medical skills from? The Zhuo family never even hired him a teacher." , let alone ask someone to teach him medical skills."

Emperor Yong'an: "He said he learned it in his dream."

"In a dream?!"

Emperor Yong'an: "He won't say it, and I won't force him. After all, he is dedicated to me. He hasn't been able to sleep well since he was a child, which is also related to this. The Zhuo family can't teach him those skills. He said he would Doing new business with you, what kind of business is it?"

The empress returned from her thoughts, curious: "Your Majesty, you don't know?"

"He said that he will tell me after he earns money, and if he loses money, it will be nothing."

Miss Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He also refused to say, saying that he wanted to ponder for a while, and it seemed to be related to the kind of small mirror he mentioned to Shi Yu during the banquet in the third palace of junior high school. The servants couldn't think of it. He had many ideas, presumably What a rare thing."

Emperor Yong'an: "Let him make trouble."

Your Majesty: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you for an order."

"What's the matter?"

"Shunxi needs some things, and he needs the help of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to make them. It is not easy for him to go to Shi Yu, because they are all fragmentary things, and it is not convenient for His Majesty to come forward, so he wants the servants to come forward."

"What are they?"

Huang Guixie brought the blueprint that Zhuo Ji gave him, Emperor Yong'an saw it, and it was indeed different from the blueprint that Zhuo Ji gave him.Emperor Yong'an: "When you come to Fengtian Hall tomorrow, I will call Shi Yu over, and you can tell him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an sat in Huayang Palace for a while and then left, letting the noble lady take a nap.Afterwards, Emperor Yong'an went to Yanxin Palace and Yunyue Palace, talked to De Guixie and Mingyu, and looked at Chen Yu and Chen Yang.In the evening, Emperor Yong'an had dinner with the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace, and then ordered to go to Yuxian Palace.
