Chapter 108
"Oh, my head hurts so much." Shen Caishu pressed her head, frowned in disgust, and pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard, "Your Highness, let's go to the pavilion to sit in the pavilion. I have a headache."
"Why would I find someone to call a doctor?" Ping Wang said anxiously.
"No, no, it's all an old problem. Just go there and sit there." Shen Caishu said, then took his hand, afraid that he would actually run away to call the doctor. Her maid is now trying to find a way to entangle King Ping's servant, and the two of them have not spent much time alone together.
Ping Wang Youshe pulled him to the pavilion. It was quite clean. He sat down without hesitation and covered his head while sitting down. He waited for a while and looked around before asking, "Don't you really need to call a doctor?"
"No, I'm much better." Shen Caishu curled her lips and said, almost rolling her eyes. She thought that King Ping, who didn't understand the mercy of the fragrance and beauty, was really not as good as King Huo at all.
"That's good. The weather is good today, so it's good to sit in the pavilion."
Shen Caishu smiled reluctantly, sat down with King Ping, leaned her heart against King Ping, and said, "Your Highness, I feel a little heartache again..."
"I'd better go find a doctor~" Wang Ping stood up and said.
Shen Caishu almost fell off the stone bench without any warning. She quickly grabbed King Ping's sleeve and said pitifully: "It's okay, just rub it with Your Highness."
As she said that, she grabbed King Ping's hand and put it on her chest. If she said that the young Shen Caishu would not have any tricks, she knew that it was from the concubines in the mansion, but compared to them, her actions seemed a little stiff.
King Ping seemed to be stunned for a moment. After the corner of his mouth moved, he suddenly pulled his hand back and shouted loudly: "Where is the lonely ghost who dares to join the royal relatives? Last time he committed a crime with the craftsman's wife and daughter, I have already let you go, and you actually came out to make trouble again!"
Now Shen Caishu was stunned.
The yard was extremely secluded. Before she could prune the scenery in the yard, it seemed a little desolate in autumn. When the autumn wind blew, the fallen leaves rustled, and the coolness of the rising ground swept over and made Shen Caishu shudder. Now she stopped hurting anywhere, and immediately stood up in her spirit and pushed King Ping out.
"Your Highness, let's go quickly."
"Are you Miss Shen?" Ping Wang asked in disbelief.
"I am I, I want to go home." She said in a crying voice, walking out without hesitation, as if there was a real evil ghost chasing her behind her.
Seeing that her face turned pale, King Ping was kind enough to send her back to the house in person. When he arrived outside the Shen Mansion, he happened to meet Lord Shen who was going home. After seeing the ceremony, Lord Shen looked at the two of them with relief and touched their beards.
"Your Highness, Wu Niang has always been naughty, so please forgive me, King Ping."
This was a polite word, but if someone else had refused, he would say a few good words to Shen Caishu. But King Ping hesitated for a moment and bowed to Lord Shen.
"Your Highness, you can't do it." Lord Shen quickly stopped him.
Ping Wang looked up but said, "A real man can't bear some things. The lady of the noble family is not in good health today. Xiao Wang is not talented and has learned some medical skills. He just took a lineage for her. To prevent mistakes, the adults should ask a familiar doctor to do it again."
After saying that, King Ping turned around and left. Lord Shen couldn't understand what he meant. When he turned around and saw Shen Caishu standing beside him, he felt a hint of suspicion. It was not that he had heard that Shen Caishu and King Huo were getting closer, but he didn't expect that he would be so close.
After that, news came out of the Shen family that Miss Shen was seriously ill. She was Princess Ping, who had not passed the door, fell ill after returning from Princes Ping's Mansion. This news was definitely a charming thing for a playboy, a playboy, and returned to her hometown after she was sick. Chang'an City is not short of such romantic young men.
In November, before the fifth prince Yang Fangzhao, who was born by Concubine Xu De, Shen Caishu died of illness. It was said that she had nightmares after returning from Prince Ping's Mansion, saying that a female ghost came to scare her every night. It was useless to hire Taoist monks in the mansion. Finally, she died after several months. Prince Ping seemed to be very excited. She was thin and haggard when attending Prince Jiang's wedding banquet.
Something happened at the wedding banquet that day. King Ji seemed to be drunk and fought with King Huo. The scene was very chaotic for a while, and the Crown Prince came forward and asked someone to separate the two. The Crown Prince scolded the two in public, but for some reason, the words of King Huo were even heavier. King Huo was so angry that his face turned pale and left as soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking.
When King Ping helped King Ji to sort out for a while before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left and patted his shoulder, leaving a meaningful sentence.
“There are still a long time.”
King Ping nodded in fear and fear, but King Ji heard the shouting next to him, and even cursed King Huo like a small civilian in the city. If King Ping hadn't helped him get onto the carriage, he wouldn't know what he would have said.
King Huo didn't know that Queen Ji had scolded him, and even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to reply. He was indeed thinking about this for a moment. He thought no one would know, but he could not have expected that Shen Caishu was pregnant and was exposed on the spot by King Ping. Lord Shen was furious and wanted to kill Shen Caishu that day. If she hadn't been pregnant with King Huo's flesh and blood, King Huo now had no son, and Shen Caishu might have died of illness.
He returned to the royal palace with a gloomy face. He could not beat and scold like a commoner in the city. At that time, King Ji rushed over. He could not prevent him from hitting him several times. Not to mention that his eyes were bruised, there were also many places on his body that were faintly ached. The princess in the mansion heard the news and called the mansion's doctor in the morning. Seeing that she was pregnant and waiting for him to come back, King Huo was there to be careful and comfort him a few words, his expression calmed down.
After the doctor gave the medicine, Princess Huo accompanied Princess Huo to a midnight snack before leaving. Princess Huo had a separate courtyard in the palace and did not usually live with the princess. Now the princess is heavy and it is not convenient to serve him. Princess Huo has always been considerate. Seeing that Princess Huo had nothing to do, she returned to her yard. Before leaving, she thoughtfully asked a beautiful girl beside her to stay there to serve.
There were many beautiful and young concubines in the mansion. Even if she didn't keep the girl, Huo would find someone else. He had only arrived at her yard on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month, and she had long been used to it. When she returned to the house and waited for no one around, the girl beside her complained a few times for her indignantly.
"It must be the one who is new to the West Courtyard."
"Shen Yan, that person is now named Xu." Princess Huo said lightly, touching her belly gently, showing a contemptuous smile, "There are still a long time."
There is no airtight wall in the world. As soon as Shen Caishu fell ill, King Ji felt something was wrong and asked someone to investigate privately what was going on. Although he thought that the Shen family was related to the bones found in the Ping Palace before, but that was not the case at all, and the truth of the matter made it hard for him to speak of. He had always had a deep friendship with King Ping. He would definitely hold King Ping with him if he had to do something extraordinary in the past. King Ping always accompanied him, even if he was punished, and he would be together. He just didn't want to be punished alone, although he sometimes felt sorry for King Ping, and occasionally listened to his advice or two to do things that would be severely punished. King Ping seemed very grateful for this and did not complain about accompanying him to receive some minor punishment.
They grew up together since childhood, just like brothers. He can even say that his relationship with King Ping is better than that of King Huo and his mother-in-law, the eighth prince Yang Fangxia. Yang Fangxia has always loved to sue the evildoer, and King Ji has long disliked him. As well as King Huo, he actually touched his brother's people, and it was quite light for him to beat him.
On the carriage that left the wedding banquet and returned home, King Ji covered his face that was hit and shouted, "He actually has the face to fight back. Xiaoqi, why are you watching from the side and not coming up and kicking it a few times?"
"Okay, I have no grudge with the Second Emperor brother." King Ping said in confusion, and looked at King Ji in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Where did the Second Emperor brother offend you? Or is it because of the Eighth Emperor brother?"
"No." King Ji frowned and shouted, staring at him with some regret, "Don't you know yet?"
"What do you know?"
"Shen Caishu."
"You can't blame the mistakes made by the Shen family on the prince born by Concubine Shen." King Ping said lightly, and sighed softly, "I blame my biological mother for being a low-key biological mother. I don't blame them if the Shen family doesn't like it."
"Why do you think so?" King Ji pulled his clothes and really wanted to shake him a few times to turn his mind clearly, but he knew that King Ping had such a temperament since he was a child, and could only feel sulky at the edge. Until he returned to Prince Ji's mansion, he hooked King Ping's neck and said to him: "Don't worry, I will help you next time, and I will definitely choose a good wife for you~"
"If Concubine Shu knew about this..."
The last time the flower-welfare was there, Prince Ji said this, isn’t he thinking that his mother’s mother is not aware of people? Prince Ji flattered his mouth and said, “These ladies all like to pretend. How can you tell your character once or twice? You have to ask more. Xiaoqi, don’t worry, Brother Six, my vision has always been good. Look, I’m the one I chose myself. How about it, beautiful, right?”
King Ping nodded embarrassedly and said, "You don't have to be that pretty, you should be more lively."
"You understand very well." King Ji nodded in agreement and patted King Ping's back with emotion. His princess who had not passed the door was beautiful, but she was too cold and didn't like to take care of others.
When the two of them got into the sedan chair and returned to the house, King Ji said again: "I think the prince's brother seems to know."
"Luckily, the prince's brother is wise and did not blame the Shen family." King Ping seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
King Ji looked at him strangely, frowned and shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, it's getting late, go back and rest."
King Ping seemed to have no idea what he said wrong, nodded in confusion and went out. Inside the house, King Ji was still sighing, why did he have such a simple brother that he had to worry about covering him?
The next day, King Ji was about to invite some young masters to come out to talk about their unmarried sisters. Concubine Shu in the palace sent an eunuch, saying that she missed him and asked him to enter the palace. King Ji did not believe that Concubine Shu really missed him. When he was a child, he sneaked out of the palace. Concubine Shu used this reason to coax him into the palace and punished him severely.
"It must be the little turtle who went to sue. He and his ten-year-old second son are not good people!" King Ji complained, looking at the eunuch staring at him with a serious face. He blinked and suddenly covered his stomach and said, "No, my stomach hurts. Please tell my mother to go back and tell her mother that my stomach doesn't hurt in a few days. I will enter the palace. I can't go today...Oh..."
Eunuch Li looked at him with a calm expression and said calmly: "Empress Shufei said that if the prince doesn't hurt, it will hurt enough in the mansion."
"How can she...how can she misunderstand this king? This is really painful this time. Oh, no, I have to go to change my clothes. Come on, please help me..."
"Yes." His attendant Wang He immediately cleverly stepped forward to support King Ji.
"Since that's the case, the slave will return to the palace to report his life."
"Dear father-in-law, go quickly." King Ji said with pain, covering his stomach, but he did not forget to wink at Wang He.
Wang He hurriedly sent Eunuch Li out of the door and stuffed a red envelope. Eunuch Li was holding the red envelope, and he was amused and crying. After returning to the palace, Concubine Shu was choosing materials with the eldest princess. Seeing that he was back, she asked without raising her head.
"Where does it hurt again this time?"
"His Highness King Ji said he had a stomachache."
"Why is my stomach hurt again?" Shufei shook her head disgustedly, pointed to the material at her hand and asked her to take it to the princess for comparison. When she saw that it was even better, she nodded and left it. After choosing the material, she looked at Eunuch Li and said, "He has a pain all over his body. His stomach has already hurt seven times, and he doesn't want to order new ones."
"I'm afraid that if the princess and sister-in-law come in the future, her whole body will be hurt..." The eldest princess said in a narrow-minded manner.
Concubine Shu couldn't help but move the corner of her mouth and echoed: "I'm sorry for your sister-in-law. I don't know how to arrange it in the future? Forget it, if he doesn't come, I won't come. I'm too lazy to swear to scold him. Fortunately, he is not that dissatisfied."
"Brother is still very sensible. Isn't there any seventh emperor brother watching?"
"That's true."
King Ji didn't know that Concubine Shu let him go so easily and refused to pursue him. He was thinking about what excuse he would not use the next day to not go to the palace. No one came to urge him in the palace, so he stayed in the mansion and went to the Laba Palace to enter the palace.
Since it was a family dinner, King Huo would definitely come. When King Ji saw King Huo, he deliberately snorted in front of him. King Ping was afraid that he would take action again, so he quickly pulled him to the side. When the other princes saw him, they also went to him to chat with him for a while. For a moment, King Huo was left with his brothers. When Yang Chengjian came and saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at King Ji with a smile.
The family dinner in the palace has always been simple, just a group of people sitting and drinking Laba porridge and chatting for a few words. Yang Chengjian nodded with satisfaction when he saw his newly married sons and his wife Qinse. Now the prince has given birth to two sons, and they are all born by the princess. It is time to live and be active. Yang Chengjian likes to watch his grandson play the most, and also hopes that other princes can have more princes and lively.
Everyone chatted and then ended. But when they were about to end, Yang Chengjian suddenly said to King Ji: "Xiao Liu, I see why you have lost weight. Come on, drink another bowl of porridge."
"Yes, thank your father for your kindness and reward." King Ji smiled. Originally, the palace banquet was not full, and the bowls used to serve porridge in the palace were small, so it would be no problem to eat a few more bowls. He was surprised by his father's attitude. In the past few days, he thought his father would also blame him. King Ji was not afraid of Concubine Shu, but he had to be afraid of the emperor. But his father didn't seem to know about this. Not only did he not blame him, he also gave him the porridge.
When the banquet ended, Ji Ping saw that King Huo's face was worse, and even raised his eyebrows at him proudly.
It is impossible for Yang Chengjian to not know the brothers' fight. If he knows it, he will definitely check the reason. This check made him angry. He always knew that King Huo was willful and arbitrary. After sending him out for three years, he thought he had changed, but he still was so unrestrained. The girl of the Shen family was not a natural beauty, and he didn't know what kind of demon he was possessed, and he dared to move. When the matter came out, he didn't know the end. He made mistakes again and again. Yang Chengjian was extremely disappointed with his son. He was willing to reward King Ji, but he did not agree with his actions. After all, he was not smart when he had something to do. However, he was willing to reward King Ji for helping his brother stand up and reward him once.
King Ji got the reward, although he didn't understand at first, he thought about it and then realized it. Unfortunately, after a while, Eunuch Li coughed dryly on the side. King Ji's face froze and reached out to touch his stomach. Will it be too fake to pretend that his stomach hurts now? Or would it be a headache?
"Brother, we have entered the palace and have not yet visited the Empress Shu Concubine." King Ping also reminded him.
King Ji deliberately entered the palace by tying time, avoiding the time to visit Concubine Shu, and went directly to the banquet hall with King Peace. Unfortunately, he could hide for a while, but could not hide for a lifetime. He sighed and said with a look of death: "Let's go."
In fact, Concubine Shu didn't think about him. The emperor acquiesced his behavior. Would she be the opposite of the emperor if she punished her again? But she still had to say a few words so that he would not be able to get carried away and would not use his brain when encountering the same thing next time.
