The Wife is First

5Chapter 5 Fever

Divorce letter? Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You are a man, divorce will not affect your reputation, but your concubine will still not be able to take the exam. Even if I let you go, you will have no chance of taking the exam in this life."

"Then how are you doing?" Mu Hanzhang sat up and looked at him coldly. If this man wanted to torture him, he would not stand and be beaten.

"I can't inherit the throne, and you can't take part in the examination, so we're even." Jing Shao said confidently in his slightly magnetic voice.

"...Huh?" Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a long time. There were cracks in his cold handsome face. He opened his mouth half-open in a silly manner. He felt as if he was being pinched by the neck, lifted high into the air, and then thrown onto a soft cushion... …

Jing Shao saw the man's dazed look and found it amusing. Just as he was about to reach out and poke him, Mengxi's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the princess's medicine is ready."

Jing Shao frowned and asked Mengxi to bring the medicine in. Mu Hanzhang calmed down his expression and lowered his head in silence. Mengxi took a peek at his face and walked to the bed with a smile.

"Your Majesty, would you like your slave to serve the princess and take the medicine?" Mengxi held the medicine and looked at Jing Shao who was lying motionless by the bed in embarrassment.

Jing Shao took the medicine bowl, waved his hand to let Meng Xi go out, turned to the outside and said, "What a blessing!"

"Yes." Duofu smiled and showed his head through the crack of the door.

"Stand guard outside the door." Jing Shao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw his appearance. He was lucky enough to still look like a child at his age.

"Yes." Duofu naturally understood what his prince meant, and rushed the maids to do their work. He also asked the guards to stand at the four corners of the house. He guarded the door to make sure that no one could hear what the people in the house said, and then leaned against the pillar. Basking in the sun with a smile.

"You won't listen to what I have to say." Jing Shao held the medicine in his hand and stirred it with a spoon. "Those words were said by outsiders. I know how much I weigh, even if I am married. The Queen Mother cannot sit in that position either.

"Why did the prince say this?" Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips. Hearing that Jing Shao sounded like he wanted to talk openly with him, and his expression didn't seem to be fake, he guessed that he really had a wrong idea?

Jing Shao handed the medicine bowl to his hand: "I joined the army camp when I was fourteen. I have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years. I am good at fighting, but I know nothing about running a country. Look at me, how can I win over an imperial doctor? How can you possibly fight for the throne if you work so hard?"

Mu Hanzhang took the medicine bowl. It turned out that he bribed the imperial doctor in front of him just to "give an example"?

"Although I understand it myself, who will believe it when I say it? Take today as an example, if I defend you in the palace, my father will definitely think that I am very scheming and superficial, and it will be even more difficult in the future." Jing Shao couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, but if he keeps acting unconvinced like this and trying to be first in everything, his father will not be able to tolerate him in the end.

Mu Hanzhang swallowed the black concoction in one gulp, and felt the bitterness from the back of his tongue to his heart. It turned out that even the princes and grandsons had such a difficult life. As soon as he put down the medicine bowl, a candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth. Mu Hanzhang looked up and saw the man wiping the medicine from the corner of his mouth with a smile. Jing Shao was naturally handsome, and he didn't like to smile on weekdays, so this smile made him look particularly good-looking.

Hearing that King Cheng was irritable and unsmiling, but since last night, this man had smiled at him many times, Mu Hanzhang sighed softly, maybe he should try to believe him, after all, he really had nothing to plot against. .

"It's not impossible for the prince to win over Dr. Jiang." After eating the candied fruit in his mouth, Mu Hanzhang said.

"Oh?" Jing Shao looked at him with interest.

Mu Hanzhang was weak, so he leaned on the big pillow at the head of the bed: "All we need to do is recruit his son into the prince's service, tempt him to make big or small mistakes, and wait for the old man to come to ask for help." yes.

"Jun Qing..." Jing Shao looked at him in surprise. He didn't know much about the relationship in the Tai Hospital. He was looking for Jiang Huan because he was famous for his lack of food and salt, and he was very strict with his mouth. So he was given a favor today. Thinking about letting him nurse Jun Qing back to health in the future, it would be a real surprise if he could win over such a person.

He rushed over and lay on the person's chest, "You are really a strategist! In this way, I can even save money on paying guests!" Mu Hanzhang was willing to reveal his thoughts to him, indicating that he had accepted it. He did it!

"Ahem, Your Majesty!" Mu Hanzhang felt a little short of breath after being hit by a big man falling from the sky.

"Hey, stop sitting and lie down quickly. The fever will go away only if you have a sweat." Jing Shao heard the sound and immediately jumped up, tucking the person into the bed, tucking the quilt in hard, and lying down to the side to put the person in bed. Hold the quilt in your arms.

Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, he had been wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis, and an octopus was fixed on the outside. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. This guy was really short-tempered.

With his face pressed against Jing Shao's chest, Mu Hanzhang moved helplessly, pulling away slightly.

"Jun Qing, I will tell you anything in the future, and tell me whatever you think, so that we won't quarrel." Jing Shao raised his hand to remove the hair tie of the person in his arms, and rubbed his head with his chin Come on.

"Yes." Mu Hanzhang responded vaguely, covering himself up to warm him up, relaxing his spirit again, and making him feel a little drowsy.

"Jun Qing, I was really unhappy on the day of the wedding. I drank too much. I thought since no one believed in me, I would just make it difficult for everyone." Jing Shao narrowed his eyes. This was indeed what happened after he woke up. I thought, now that I know what happened over the years, it is not impossible to win that position, "But when I woke up and saw you, I changed my mind."

Mu Hanzhang didn't answer, but he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Seeing that the person in his arms was silent, Jing Shao thought he was asleep and gently touched his long hair: "I think it would be good to live with a wonderful person like you for the rest of my life. I don't care if others believe it or not." It's important. I will protect you well in the future and prevent you from being wronged..." He still didn't know what kind of feelings he had for the person in his arms, but he knew that this was the only person who was willing to die with him. In this reborn world, all he saw was suspicion and murderous intent. Only this person was his only salvation. He wanted to hug him tightly and never let go.

The low voice was like a soft whisper. Jing Shao said this to himself, but he didn't know that the person tightly in his arms quietly raised the corners of his lips.

When Mu Hanzhang had broken down from sweat and fever and it was already past noon, Jing Shao sent Duofu to go to the Second Prince's Mansion in person early in the morning and confessed the crime to his brother honestly, saying that he might go there later. Although the royal family has a large population, it has a special status and does not need to worship many people on the second day of the wedding. When we arrived at Jingshao's place, his interpersonal relationship was not very good anyway, so he simply went to visit his brother's family. Now that he couldn't go after noon, he changed into casual clothes and had a nice lunch with his wife.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the dishes were removed, Duofu came to report that the second prince and his concubine were here. When Jing Shao heard this, he immediately put down his tea cup and ran out.

"Your Majesty!" Mu Hanzhang pulled him back, "Change your clothes before going out."

"Oh!" Jing Shao slapped his forehead, forgetting that his sister-in-law was here, it would be rude to go out wearing this outfit, so he hurriedly changed his clothes. When I woke up, I didn't feel that I had seen him. Now that I was going to see my brother so soon, I just felt that I had a lot to say to him. I couldn't be confused this time.

"Your Majesty, I won't go." Mu Hanzhang pulled back the hand held by Jing Shao.

"What's wrong?" When you meet your brother, you have to salute and offer tea, and you can also get a meeting gift. Jing Shao stopped and looked at him.

Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips: "Your Majesty did not go to the Second Prince's Mansion because I was ill. Although he is his brother, it is not worth it to cause misunderstanding over such a trivial matter."

"Huh?" Jing Shao was stunned for a long time with questions on his head, and then he realized that Jun Qing was afraid that his brother would see that he was fine, and thought that he deliberately did not go to the Second Prince's Mansion and hurt his brother's harmony. He couldn't help but smile helplessly, put his arms around Mu Hanzhang's waist and said with a smile: "Jun Qing, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, my brain is not working well."

Mu Hanzhang glanced at him and said in a low voice: "I have taken note of it. Your Majesty, please go quickly." He knew that Jing Shao had special feelings for his half-brother. If he said this directly, it would incite discord between their brothers. Suspect, now that I am an outsider who has just passed through the door, it is better to be careful with what I say.

"Jun Qing, did you remember to speak directly, or did you remember that my brain is not working well?" Jing Shao couldn't help teasing him when he saw how quickly he answered.

"I've remembered everything." Mu Hanzhang's expression remained calm.

When Jing Shao saw him looking so calm, he felt very good-looking. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He secretly kissed him on the cheek and quickly walked out the door.

Mu Hanzhang looked at Jing Shao's back, slowly touched the kissed cheek, and couldn't help but curve the corners of his lips upward.

Since the second prince arrived suddenly, Jing Shao had no time to go out to greet him, so Duofu directly invited him to the teahouse of Tingfeng Pavilion. Tingfeng Pavilion is the place where Jing Shao usually entertains guests, reads and plays. It already belongs to the inner courtyard and usually only receives close guests. The layout of the palace is that the front courtyard is the outer courtyard, and beyond the garden is the Tingfeng Pavilion. The back of the pavilion is divided into East Garden and Xiyuan. The East Garden is Jingshao's residence, and the Xiyuan houses the female family members.

The tearoom is quite elegantly decorated, with exquisite tables, chairs and tables of Jiangnan style. Except for the pillars, it is surrounded by carved door panels. It is small and warm when enclosed in the winter, but when removed in the summer, it becomes a small ventilated room with four sides. There are seasonal flowers on the flower stand, and a few slender vines are wrapped around the beams. They have sprouted at this time, and are green with goose yellow, full of vitality.

The man sitting at the head of the tea room was wearing a dark yellow prince's uniform. He was slender, handsome and handsome. Sitting casually, he looked dignified and calm. His facial features are 70% similar to Jingshao's, but he is a little less serious and a little more calm than Jingshao. This man is Jingshao's half-brother and the eldest son of Empress Yuan, Jingchen.
