Chapter 21
Chapter 21
The night is soaked in the sky, and the moon and stars are sparse.Prince Shu's mansion was brightly lit up and down, and the maids and mother-in-law were rushing in and out, feeling overwhelmed.Accidentally collided with each other, the copper basin fell to the ground with a tinkling sound, and clear water was spilled all over the ground. The maid was drowned from head to toe, and she was extremely embarrassed.
"What are you panicking about?" Dr. Zhou opened the door and came out. He was in his early twenties, his hair, beard and eyebrows were white, but his body was very strong. He was very confident when he yelled, and his voice was strong and clear: "My lord is just dizzy. It's not poisonous, look at your mess."
The little maid got up resentfully, her whole body was wet, she didn't know what she stepped on, she stumbled and fell, the posture of falling was even more stupid than before.The little servant girl was hurt and humiliated by the fall, and was scolded by Doctor Zhou, she was full of grievances, her eyelashes were wet, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Doctor Zhou."
"Oh, it's Mr. Jiang." Seeing Jiang Li approaching from afar, Zhou Kugua bowed his hands politely, and glared at the wronged little maid on the ground. Her eyes were so ferocious that the maid was so frightened that she couldn't speak. up.When he looked at Jiang Li again, the doctor's parents were already full of kindness: "Are you here to see the prince?"
"How is he?"
"It's fine, it's fine, the old man has already checked his pulse. I think the prince is tired from playing today. He just...uh, he's a little weak at the moment, and he has a migraine blown by the wind. He can rest for a few days and heal." Zhou said. After thinking about it, Bitter Gua turned away the poisoning incident: "Although the prince is already weak, he can't change the child's disposition. According to the old man, he should recuperate quietly in the mansion. It is only when you recover your vitality, otherwise, how can you have the energy to survive the next time..."
Zhou Kugua suddenly realized that he was talking too much, the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he moved away and pointed to the door: "My lord, please."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, and when she stepped into the room, she glanced at the little maid who fell to the ground and whimpered from the corner of her eye.Without making a sound, he opened the door and entered the bedroom.
Gu Jinzhi was sitting on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, with open clothes on his shoulders, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, and was drinking one sip at a time.Suddenly seeing Jiang Li coming in, his eyes lit up, and he was about to get out of bed.
Jiang Li took a few quick steps to stop him: "My lord is not in good health, I can't get out of bed."
Gu Jinzhi's eyes were full of smiles: "Little Li'er came to see me on purpose?"
Jiang Li said warmly: "My lord is not feeling well in order to protect me, so I naturally want to visit."
Hearing these words, Gu Jinzhi suddenly had a thought in his heart, and a cunning light flashed in his beautiful eyes.He sighed, put the bitter soup into his mouth with a spoon, and lamented: "My king is sick, and he will be trapped in the mansion for ten and a half months by that week's bitter gourd. If I don't listen, he will He will threaten the king with the report, so the king has to listen. It’s so boring to stay in the mansion, but it’s a square sky when you go out in the courtyard. Hey, but it’s different with Xiao Li’er. , Little Li'er can bring me infinite joy."
Jiang Li's eyes turned slightly, but he didn't answer.
"Hey!" Seeing this, Gu Jinzhi sighed twice as loudly, and said with the appearance of a boudoir resentful woman: "It's a pity, little Li'er has to go back to Xiangxue Pavilion. Although this king is a prince, he doesn't want to part with the little one at all." Li'er was wronged. I want little Li'er to be by my side, but I can't bear to force it. What do you think should be done..."
Jiang Li turned his eyes to look elsewhere.
Gu Jinzhi looked at his unchanging face, and simply let himself go: "Little Li'er, do you have any extra single rooms in Xiangxue Pavilion? It's next to your room, and I want to move there."
Jiang Li: "..."
"Your Highness, stop talking nonsense." Jiang Li, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly felt helpless, and had nothing to do with Gu Jinzhi's neither soft nor hard way of stalking.Seeing his clear eyes, bright pupils and full of expectation, he was a little soft-hearted, so he nodded and agreed: "Your Highness is all because of me, let alone staying in the mansion to accompany you to recover, even if you are here Fate is also what it should be.”
"What is repayment with life?" Gu Jinzhi's face changed, he was serious and firm: "Little Li'er has to be good, you know?"
Jiang Li looked at him and nodded slightly.Gu Jinzhi smiled happily, "So what you mean is that you are willing to stay in my residence for a few more days?"
"According to what Doctor Zhou said, Your Highness only needs to rest for three to five days to recover." Jiang Li looked back, showing a very shallow smile: "Could it be that His Highness is going to rest for three to five months before he is willing to recover?"
The word "willing to be willing" was deliberately emphasized.
"..." Gu Jinzhi felt ashamed of being caught, but soon he smiled without blushing, but his tone was a bit blunt: "Zhou Kugua is such a good doctor! Okay, sir!"
After staying in the palace for two days, Jiang Li was arranged by Gu Jinzhi in the Xinyu Building.Yutai must have been ordered by Gu Jinzhi to wait on the front and back, introduce the architectural structure of the palace when he gets the chance, and praise the new rain building, how beautiful it is to watch the moon and stars at night, etc. .However, God didn't give me face. In the past two days in the Wangfu, except for the cloudy sky, it was cloudy, let alone admiring the moon. The night sky was gray and there were not many stars.
Yu Tai was so depressed that he scolded God for not being able to see.
It was night, Gu Jinzhi was in high spirits, and invited Jiang Li to talk after dinner.The two meet each other in chess, you come and I line up troops, and it takes more than half an hour to decide the winner.Gu Jinzhi's chess skills are excellent, and he beat half of his sons.And Yu Tai, who was waiting at the side, was so breathless and drowsy.
"His Royal Highness is superb in chess, Jiang Li is convinced."
Gu Jinzhi took a sip of tea: "I only won half a coin, so it's my king who narrowly won."
Jiang Li looked at the layout on the chessboard, and laughed at himself: "Your Highness doesn't want me to lose too badly, so let's give in on purpose."
"It's Xiao Li'er's chess style that is unpredictable and unpredictable, and he will come in and kick out the king. If you play chess with you, if you are a little bit slack, you will lose the whole game, and the killed piece will not be left behind."
So he can win, it can be seen that his thoughts are meticulous and his concentration is concentrated, it is not shocking.Jiang Li secretly sighed deeply, his face was still calm.
At one o'clock, it was already late.Leaving Gu Jinzhi's bedroom, Jiang Li went all the way back to Xinyu Tower.When passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, I suddenly heard a scolding sound coming from a distance.Jiang Li followed the voice, and saw behind the flowers, the butler was angrily teaching a servant girl a lesson.Jiang Li recognized at a glance that it was the little girl who fell in front of Gu Jinzhi's bedroom that day and was scolded by Doctor Zhou.
"Xiao He, Xiao He, let me tell you why you are so stupid, you can't do such a thing. Can you do it? If you can't, leave as soon as possible."
The little maid sobbed and said, "I can do it, I can do it, I'll take care of it right away, don't be angry."
"Stop being fussy. You can do some rough work of washing and sweeping the floor in the future. Don't do things like serving tea and water. The more you help, the more you help."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The butler sighed, turned around and took two steps, just in time to see Jiang Li standing at the hanging flower gate, he hurriedly bowed to greet him and said, "Young Master Jiang, are you still not resting at this late hour?"
Jiang Li glanced at Xiao He who was wiping tears over there, "Did she do something wrong?"
As soon as the housekeeper was mentioned, he became angry: "This old slave has been a housekeeper for more than [-] years, and I have never seen such a stupid maid."
Jiang Li seemed to be thinking: "According to the butler, is she new here?"
"It's not new, it's old, it's been more than a year since I came to work in the palace. People are modest and sensible, but their clumsy hands and feet have caused a lot of trouble. If it weren't for seeing her as an orphan girl with no one to rely on... hey , teach slowly. As long as you don’t cause trouble to the prince, don’t let the prince worry about it.” The housekeeper looked sad, and bowed his hands in a salute: “If the young master has no other orders, the old servant will go to work.”
"The housekeeper, go slowly." Jiang Li said modestly, watching the housekeeper call the crying Xiao He away.I stood there for a while, and returned to Xinyu Building.
In the dead of night in the Wangfu, Jiang Li fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, and the past experiences were once again clearly displayed in front of him through dreams.
In that first month of that year, my father fell ill. According to him, he had been traveling for days and became ill due to overwork.The servants in the mansion were all extremely anxious, and the mother was beside her with a poorly dressed servant all night long.
Suddenly one day, a guest came to the mansion.This guest is wearing a black robe and a simple bun. Although the clothes are not luxurious, the innate majesty and imposing manner cannot be underestimated.With a body like a jade tree and eyes like starlight, he doesn't need to do much, let alone speak, as long as he stands there quietly, he already exudes the aura of a king who can shock the world.
All the people in the whole house were strict and respectful because of his arrival, and the mother even supported the seriously ill father to kneel down on the ground, and gave him the royal gift.
"You are His Majesty the Emperor?" Xiao Junge couldn't believe it. He saw the faintly visible bright yellow dragon robe under the man's black robe.What shocked him was not that the person in front of him was Emperor Dayu, but that this Ninth Five-Year Lord actually bowed down and went to Jiangfu to visit Jiang Ming in person.
The courtier was seriously ill, and the emperor visited the mansion in person, which was simply unheard of.
"Your father is seriously ill, I am worried, so come and see him. You...are Jiang Aiqing's only son, Junge?"
