Once magnificent, now brilliant

Chapter 46

The little eunuch bowed into the imperial study and reported to the fourth prince to see him.

The emperor was dissatisfied with the second and third children, but he had no dissatisfaction with Rong Cang, so he let him in.

After the salute, Rong Cang said: "Father, my son is here to ask for leave. Qi Xiang is injured, and my son is worried. I want to quit today's dinner and go to Qi Xiang's place to see."

Qi Xiang is Rong Cang's companion, and Rong Cang should go and see this matter today because of his feelings and reason.Moreover, Rongcang even resigned from the banquet, which shows that he attaches great importance to such a loving and righteous child, and the emperor is also satisfied.

The emperor: "How is Qi Xiang's injury? Did you call for a doctor?"

Rong Cang said: "The wound is deep, and it is not easy to heal. I have invited a doctor, and it is the one who treated Jun Yu's leg injury. He has extraordinary medical skills and can be trusted."

"That's good. I'll ask Li Dian to go and have a look after the banquet. This incident is due to the negligence of the Ministry of Rites, and I will definitely punish him severely." Losing Da Chuan's face in front of foreigners, how can such a major event be easily revealed?

Rong Cang: "Everything is up to the emperor."

The emperor nodded and sighed softly: "You go. If there is something wrong with Qi Xiang, you can go to the palace to look for the imperial physician at any time. I will give you orders to let the imperial hospital take orders from you."

Rong Cang knelt down and touched his head to the ground, "Thank you Father for your kindness."

If it was in the past, he would still attend the banquet as usual and visit Qi Xiang after it was over.In this way, all parties will not be offended, and the emperor will not feel that he is indiscriminate.But now, since he has decided that he can't bear it anymore, he should show some attitude.He was dissatisfied with the negligence of the second brother and the third brother, and was very worried about Qi Xiang's serious injury, so he put aside his superficial efforts and went to see Qi Xiang, and no one else could find his fault.No matter whether the father understands his mood or not, he should know that even if he is at the banquet, it is just a foil, and whether he goes or not will not affect the overall situation.As for whether the second brother and the third brother would think that he didn't give face, he couldn't control it.Over the years, he has given enough face, so much that there is almost no face left, now he doesn't want to give it, and he doesn't want to give it in the future!

In the courtyard——

Bai Junyu was by Qi Xiang's bedside, touching Qi Xiang's forehead from time to time, for fear that he would get hot.The medicine has been boiled, but just now Shi Zhou came in to help feed the medicine.Qi Xiang didn't drink much, but at least he fed some.

Bai Ru brought food in, but Bai Junyu had no appetite, and only had Qi Xiang in his eyes.

Sleeping on the stomach must be uncomfortable, but fortunately Qi Xiang slept soundly, and the sleeping posture was good, and he didn't writhe around, so he wouldn't hurt the wound.Bai Junyu held Qi Xiang's hand cautiously. Qi Xiang had calluses in his hand, and it was inevitable that he had worked hard in Xi'an.It's just a young master Pianpian, who has been spoiled like this, even if he thinks that Qi Xiang looks the same, he can't help but feel distressed.

The courtyard house is not big, so the rooms are naturally small.If it wasn't for Qi Xiang's inconvenience to move now, Bai Junyu really wanted to take him home. His house has everything, and the lighting and ventilation are better than here, which is more suitable for Qi Xiang to recuperate.

Rong Cang came over directly after leaving the palace, asked about Qi Xiang's situation, talked about the emperor's reward, and stayed here for a meal, then offered to send the Taifu back, saying that he wanted to talk to the Taifu.Xian Xuan didn't have to run away at both ends, and went directly to the general's mansion to spread the news.

Within half an hour, Mrs. Bai came with her servants and a lot of supplements.Qi Xiang was injured to protect Bai Junyu, how could he, a mother, not come and see for himself?Bai Guanyou was still attending the banquet in the palace, so he didn't know if he had received the news, anyway, he couldn't come for the time being.

Qi Xiang was injured on his back and couldn't get dressed. Even if he was a junior, he wasn't his own child. It stands to reason that Mrs. Bai shouldn't go into the house to see.But Mrs. Bai can't take care of so much. To her, they are all children, so why pay so much attention?

After seeing Qi Xiang, Mrs. Bai brought Bai Junyu out with red eyes, and asked about Qi Xiang's situation carefully.Bai Junyu answered one by one, but his mind was not on these issues.

"I originally wanted to take your father's token and ask someone to invite military doctors to show Qi Xiang. After all, they are better at trauma. But since the doctor took over, there must be no problem. You stay here to take care of Qi Xiang That's fine, it's just that you can't move now, so don't make trouble for them."

"Yes, my son knows. Bai Ru has been with me these few days. He handles affairs quickly, so you don't have to worry."

white

Madam nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes, "I'll leave you a few more servants, and let them do the daily shopping and cleaning, so you can take care of Qi Xiang with peace of mind."

"Mother is very thoughtful." In the past few days, the kitchen must either be decocting medicine or cooking light food for Qi Xiang, and they can't take care of their diet.Having a servant to help buy ready-made ones can save a lot of work, and Bai Ru can also do other things with free hands.

"If you need anything else, just tell your family. When Xianzheng came to report the letter just now, please go to Xianfu after the banquet. I have asked people to wait at the gate of the palace. Now I will go back and ask someone to cook the soup. I'll send it to you tomorrow. Qi Xiang, you should pay more attention to your body, and you should also pay attention to your body."

"Don't worry, mother, I will." Speaking of needs, Bai Junyu added: "By the way, can you ask someone to make more of the hand cream that father always prepares for you after winter? It is easy to dry and crack in winter, I want to prepare some for him and use it all year round."

Calluses are hard to get rid of, but those tiny dry cracks and roughness can be raised back. My mother often praises the hand grease prepared by my father, so he wants to ask for some.

Mrs. Bai smiled, "Why is this so difficult? I still have a bottle left, and I will send it along with the soup for Qi Xiang to use first. Wait a few days to make new ones, and ask them to prepare more. "

"Thank you mother."

After Mrs. Bai left, Bai Junyu returned to the bed. The food was already cold, and he didn't ask Bai Ru to heat it up. He ate some whole. He was a general, and he didn't care about these things when he was marching.But now he has to eat enough to have the energy to take care of Qi Xiang, even if he has no appetite, he has to stuff up.

The celebration dinner in the palace went smoothly, no one deliberately mentioned the parade, but the absence of the fourth prince seemed to have shown his attitude.Although the queen is dissatisfied, she can't say anything on this occasion. If she touches the emperor's brow, the loss outweighs the gain.The second and third princes were also as quiet as quails. They didn't expect what happened in the afternoon, and they were really panicked for a while. Fortunately, no catastrophe was brewing, and they were each thinking about how to turn things around.

The officials present also put up all their efforts to cope, the Taifu was getting old, the emperor couldn't bear to disturb him to rest at the banquet, so he was specifically allowed not to attend, in case the emperor was upset, there was really no one who could persuade him.Bai Guanyou entered the palace early, and when he learned about the chaos caused by the parade, it was already difficult to ask for leave and leave the palace.Seeing that the fourth prince didn't come at all, he was even more sure that the fourth prince was showing his attitude.

Bai Guanyou didn't think there was anything wrong. The fourth prince, who used to be aloof from the world, suddenly didn't give anyone face. The emperor would think that the fourth prince had a genuine temperament, and others could also weigh whether the fourth prince was easy to bully.Of course, judging from the current scene, the second prince and the third prince are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no time to pay attention to whether the fourth prince is here or not.

As soon as the celebration was over and the foreigners were sent away from the palace, the second and third princes knelt in front of the hall to plead guilty.The emperor ignored them at all and rested in Concubine Shu's palace at night.

The next day, when it was just dawn, Qi Xiang woke up, he was a little confused about the situation for a while, when he exerted force on his body, he pulled the wound, and gasped.

As soon as he moved, Bai Junyu closed his eyes and opened them, pressing his shoulders, "Don't move."

Hearing Bai Junyu's voice, Qi Xiang thought that he had a fever and had auditory hallucinations, so he supported his upper body with his arms, turned his head to look over, and made sure that he heard correctly, Bai Junyu sat by the bed with a thin quilt covering his body.

"Why are you here?"

Bai Junyu helped him lie down again, and said, "I don't worry about you."

"You just sit and sleep like this? Master agrees?" Normally, Master should have scolded someone.

"Once in a while, it's okay." Bai Junyu took the water bowl and fed him with a spoon, "Come, drink some water."

"I'll do it myself..." He hurt his back, so it should be fine to sit up, as long as he doesn't pull the wound.

"Be obedient, Mr. Que said that you can't get up yet, the wound is deep and not easy to heal, it's best to lie on your stomach all the time."

Qi Xiang had no choice but to ask Bai Junyu to feed him with a spoon.Stop drinking after drinking half a bowl.

"Does the wound hurt? Are you hungry? There's chicken porridge simmering in the kitchen, would you like some?" Bai Junyu had never taken care of a patient before, so he was a little at a loss for what to do, and asked everything he thought of.

"It doesn't hurt, and I'm not hungry. I'll talk about it later. I'm fine. You can go home after breakfast." Bai Junyu guarded him, and his heart was very warm, but Bai Junyu himself was not well, so it was better to go home and recuperate.

"I've already told my family that I want to stay and take care of you. Besides, you were injured to save me. I can't leave you here alone."

"It's just an accident, I don't need you to feel guilty." It was also his calculation that made a mistake.

"It's not about guilt, it's just out of emotion and reason. I want to stay. Mr. Que has to take care of you now, and it's inconvenient to run to my side. It's better for me to stay here temporarily, so as not to delay the diagnosis and treatment." Bai Junyu helped him pull The quilt around his waist is good, and he doesn't dare to touch his body too much. "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable. I'm a light sleeper. You don't have to bear it."

What Bai Junyu said was not unreasonable, it was indeed not easy to drive people away.Seeing Bai Junyu sitting and sleeping like this, he couldn't bear it, so he asked, "Do you want to lie down and sleep?"

Bai Junyu looked at him, and after confirming that Qi Xiang was not reluctant, he said, "That's fine."

It wasn't the first time he slept in the same bed with Qi Xiang, but his mood was different from before - not only did he not repel him, but he was even a little excited, but he couldn't do anything.

Helping Qi Xiang to move in, Bai Junyu folded his clothes and lay on the bedside, "Sleep a little longer, and when the sky is brighter, you can eat some porridge and drink medicine."

Qi Xiang didn't reply, and didn't know what to say, she just thought that he dug a hole and buried himself, how could he sleep with Bai Junyu beside him?

Bai Junyu, who had been worrying about Qi Xiang's fever all night, finally overcame the drowsiness and soon fell asleep.Qi Xiang sighed softly——when his wounds healed, he sent Bai Junyu back to the General's Mansion as soon as possible. Bai Junyu stayed here. He might be able to heal within ten days, and he might be delayed for half a month due to insomnia.

Since the banquet ended late yesterday, the emperor skipped today's morning court and went to the imperial study after breakfast at Concubine Shu's.

The second prince and the third prince were still kneeling in front of the hall, and the queen also came, with haggard faces and anxious eyes.

The emperor didn't even bother to let them in, and said directly at the entrance of the hall: "This celebration about Da Chuan's face was originally a happy event, but what happened? Let's see what you have done!"

Before Rong Qing and Rong Wei could open their mouths, the empress knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Li'er is too young to do things well, but he really wants to do good things for the Emperor. Your Majesty, Li'er has served you for many years. You should see this kid's ability and loyalty, he was just negligent for a while, I hope the emperor will give Li'er another chance, let him make up for his mistakes!"

The emperor was already angry, and let the queen howl all morning, the anger did not drop but rose, "I didn't look for you, you still have the face to come to me? Look at the son you raised, who has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years. He’s done a lot of things, but what has he learned? The cages used by foreigners to transport wild animals are different from ours. Doesn’t others know that, but the Ministry of Rites doesn’t know? He didn’t expect that he hadn’t seen it, or did he simply ignore my safety? !"

Those precious beasts were to be sent to the palace for him to see after the parade, and if the cages were opened by then, he would be in danger!

"Father, you have wronged my son, I dare not, and I will not have such thoughts!" Rong Li kowtowed incessantly, resenting the Queen's lack of success in his heart, which would make his father angry.

Rong Qing laughed at the empress's stupidity in his heart, squeezed out tears, and cried: "Father, you know, my son has no experience in handling such important matters, and the Ministry of Rites is short of manpower, so I asked you for an order to let the third brother come here. Help. I am incompetent, and I have always followed the orders and opinions of Zuo Shilang and the third brother. I really didn’t know the difference between the foreign animal cage and ours, so please look into it!"

Rong Qing's words didn't make the emperor too angry, Rong Qing was telling the truth, "Then tell me, you don't know about the animal cage, did the Ministry of Rites send someone to look at it?"

Rong Qing immediately said: "Going back to my father, I really didn't look at it specifically. But when I went to see those rare beasts, when I made records and made arrangements, the rare beasts were in the cages, and Zuo Shilang and the third brother also went. Arrived."

Rong Li gritted his teeth, not knowing where to start.He really didn't think about this question at the time, Zuo Shilang kept pulling him and saying that he was close to him because his mother

Later, he took a fancy to the daughter of Zuo Shilang's family, and Zuo Shilang also wanted his daughter to marry him.So he was busy dealing with Zuo Shilang, and he was indeed negligent in this matter.

"Okay, what else can you say?" The emperor glared at the third prince angrily.

Rong Wei quibbled: "Father, even if the son-in-law was negligent, but the whole journey was safe and sound, why did the accident happen during the parade? Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange?!" The emperor didn't answer him at all, "There are city soldiers and people from your Ministry of Rites in front of every cage. Are you going to tell me that they opened the cage to let the beast escape?!"

Rong Li didn't dare to speak immediately, he had no basis to doubt the city army, he was afraid that he would offend the city army, and the Ministry of Rites was one with him, if there was a problem with the Ministry of Rites, he would be responsible for negligence.

Rong Qing almost laughed out loud in his heart - it seems that Qi Xiang is still smart.If Rong Li hadn't returned to the Ministry of Rites for help, he would have no way to argue with this matter today, so he could only resist this responsibility.But now, he is at fault, but compared with Rong Wei, he is obedient and handles things. Even if the father wants to punish him, it will not be too heavy, it is nothing at all.

So he chased after the victory and said: "Father, the Ministry of Rites is short of manpower, and we have temporarily sent new people to help. They are indeed inexperienced, and I will be punished. But there is one thing that I cannot hide. The left servant of the Ministry of Rites works for his daughter every day." The marriage with the third brother is busy, and he has no intention to take care of the celebration. This is why the son-in-law had to invite the third brother back. Our inexperienced people are in a hurry, and the left servant has no heart to take care of things, and even the third brother can't go Heart, this is a mistake!"

"Nonsense!" screamed the queen.

The emperor slapped the queen's face with a slap, and the jewels on the queen's head fell out of her bun and fell on the palace pillar, "Li Dian! Pass the decree! Dismiss the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and her daughter will never even think about stepping into the royal family for the rest of her life!"
