Chapter 6: Jealous of that Thigh

Not long after, an old eunuch with a collapsed medicine chest ran in upside down and saluted the Crown Prince.

Zhu Hailin waved his hand impatiently, “Farewell, farewell, Imperial Doctor Lin, hurry up and see the doctor.”

Lin doctor a handful of old bones are fast running apart, in the Prince’s aggressive gaze under the atmosphere do not dare to breathe, carefully and cautiously take the pulse prescription, explain the palace immediately go to grab the medicine decoction.

Only then kowtowed and reported: “Your Highness, Su readers occasionally infected with wind and cold, and no serious harm. Just his innate vitality is insufficient, the pulse is a little too weak, in the future we must use some mild tonic medicine, slowly into the slow service, solid foundation and cultivate, in order to be able to body strong and healthy.”

Su Yan skimmed the corner of his mouth, what yuan qi, invisible and unknowable things, who knows that it is not enough? This body is too lack of exercise leads to low immunity, it seems that in the future to develop a fitness program, life is movement ah.

The Prince, however, thought deeply, explaining the future daily preparation of tonic medicine, boiled and sent to the East Palace.

Sending away the Lin Tai doctor, the sky is already dark, the palace lights are burning, Su Yan suddenly thought that the time of the palace ban is coming, busy, “Your Highness, the palace door is going to be under the key, I have to hurry to go out.”

Zhu Hailin moved around the bed, felt the place was spacious, simply took off his green satin cowhide boots, and plopped his legs up, “No going out. Cold wind blowing, small disease also become a big disease, simply you stay in the East Palace tonight, I asked someone to go and report to the father.”

Su Yan hesitated, “I’m afraid it’s not proper for a foreign minister to stay in the palace, and I’m afraid that it will plainly cause people to criticize.”

Zhu he Lin said: “what’s wrong, foreign ministers due to the occasional stay in the palace there are precedents, father has always been sympathetic to the subjects, know that you are infected with a cold will be allowed. Besides, you are the crown prince’s readers, stay in the east palace accompaniment is also logical, I would like to see which give a face dare not discuss.”

Su Yan would like to say anything else, next to the courtesan held a bowl of pine nuts Ling gorgonian jujube congee over, and then remembered that it has been to the evening meal time, their own this disease, along with the Prince has not been into the water and rice, the heart can not help but feel a little guilty.

“Your Highness go and have your meal by yourself, I am no longer in any danger.”

Zhu Hailin smiled and said, “No harm done, I’ll accompany you to eat with you.”

He waved his hand and told the palace maid to similarly serve a bowl, and without getting off the couch, he ate it with both hands.

The courtesan held a gold-rimmed white jade bowl, took a carved silver spoon and stirred it carefully, scooped a spoonful and blew it cool to Su Yan’s mouth.

Cardamom girl, jade fingers, a pair of showy eyes only dare to look at him below the nose, the movement is gently curling, shy and lovely.

Su Yan ate congee beautifully, his heart was secretly happy: too corrupt! In his previous life, he lived to more than twenty years old, his girlfriend even cooked instant noodles are not clear, go out to eat also stipulates that he has to pull the chair to take the clothes to show the gentlemanly manner, when have you ever enjoyed this kind of treatment at the level of the spendthrift.

Zhu Hailin finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls, looked up and saw the two people in front of him, one fed with shyness, one ate with peach blossom eyes, the more he looked, the more unpleasant he looked, anonymous fire rose from the bottom of his heart, and he said in an evil voice: “Go away!”

The little palace maid was startled and turned around to see the Crown Prince’s face in a bad mood, she was too busy to retreat.

“Wait, give me the bowl!” Zhu Hailin took the bowl from the dazed courtesan, scooped up a spoonful, and said to Su Yan, “Open your mouth.”

Who wants you to feed it? Give Missy back to me!

Su Yan suddenly realized that the prince served him porridge, which in ancient times counts the moment of offense, to kill the head, even if the prince voluntarily can not. Busy stop: “Your Highness can not be …….”

Chu Ho-Lin was impatient to hear this and shoved the spoon in when he opened his mouth to speak.

“Hot–” Su Yan grimaced as he held a mouthful of hot porridge, swallowing not spitting, showing his teeth.

Zhu Hailin drew back the spoon somewhat sheepishly and grumbled, “This Prince condescends to feed you congee, but you still dare to be suspicious, you don’t know what’s good for you!” He scooped up another spoon, whistled and blew a few times, and stuffed it into his mouth with a movement that definitely could not be called gentle.

Su Yan’s eyes shone with watery light. The crown prince thought that he was deeply moved, his mood suddenly improved, and he fed more and more vigorously.

This is not eating congee, it is clearly a torture …… dead brat, I will one day return a tooth for a tooth and make a pot of super spicy hot pot to pour into your throat!

This half bowl of porridge, ate Su Yan three flowers gathered top, five Qi Chao Yuan, almost like a martial arts movie masters head steamed out white smoke.

Subsequently brought the medicinal juice, he was afraid that the Prince will have to condescend again, seized the bowl to a burst of blowing, gulp gulp drink all.

Zhu Hailin patted the quilt surface with satisfaction, “I’ve sweated a lot, it seems that this medicine is quite effective, have a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow when you are well, accompany me to go out of the palace to play.”

Su Yan looked at the frowning and smiling Crown Prince of the day, wanting to cry, he buried his head deep into the quilt.

This sleep, sleep muddled, dark, Su Yan in the dream for a while by the great emperor to take the hall column thick court cane spanking, for a while by the little emperor tied to the bed to pour boiling water, really bitter, yelling wake up.

–

Look out the window the sky is already bright, Su Yan soft hands and feet to get up, feel the fever is almost gone, the mind is also refreshed a lot, just a big sweat, sticky and very uncomfortable.

The chamberlain heard the call and rushed over to ask him what he wanted.

Su Yan asked, “What hour is it now?”

“The hour has just passed. The young master had already gone to the Mandarin Hall to study half an hour ago, and explained that the young ones must not wake up Lord Su.”

Su Yan thought that she couldn’t catch up with the morning reading anyway, so she simply skipped class for a day, and anyway, with the crown prince covering her, she commanded, “Prepare water, I want to take a bath and change my clothes.”

After soaking in the hot spring bath sprinkled with lilac jade shavings for more than half an hour, and with his spirit restored by six or seven points, Su Yan draped a head of long, wet, ebony hair and lazily walked out of the inner room.

He changed into a clean Chinese sheet and put on a re-ironed white pheasant patch suit, and when he unintentionally felt around his waist, he realized that the green jade translucent carved lotus leaf pendant, which never left his body, was missing!

In the change down the old clothes in the search for a long time, and called the chamberlain to ask, still nothing, Su Yan carefully recalled yesterday’s all kinds of, think may be left in the sleep on the grass, he remembers that the hem seems to be hanging a little, perhaps it was then entangled in the branches.

That piece of lotus leaf jade pendant is his life’s mother sent, jade quality green transparent warm, carving fine and elegant in the second, the main thing is engraved with the word “Qinghe”. If it is which shallow eunuchs eunuchs pick up just, in case it falls in the hands of the heart, to the hands of Emperor Jinglong a send, then their own eavesdropping on the emperor’s corner of the matter is not to be exposed?

The more Su Yan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and hurriedly Ònished her hair and left the East Palace, bent on finding the deadly jade pendant before it was discovered.

After searching the grass in a radius of one foot, Su Yan finally realized with a dead heart that the jade pendant had really disappeared. There is no other way, only to secretly read a boat to the bridge naturally straight, negative hand slowly walking back.

Passing outside the Mandarin Palace, Su Yan hesitated and decided to return to the East Palace first.

At this time, a group of people from the Wenhua Hall door turn out, in front of the executive instrument escorting the brocade guards Han generals, the center of the yellow umbrella cover under a shoulder carriage carried by eight people, followed by a number of chamberlains, straight towards this side.

He immediately reacted to the fact that it was the Emperor’s imperial chariot and hurriedly avoided the side.

Su Yan bowed his head and knelt on the ground, hoping that the imperial chariot would pass as soon as possible, but he did not expect the shoulder carriage to pass two feet and then return, stopping beside him, and a voice above him said, “Su Yan?”

Su Yan could only reply, “I, Su Yan, kowtow to Long Live Our Emperor.”

Emperor Jinglong said, “Aren’t you sick, why are you still wandering around here?”

Su Yan word by word: “I ate last night’s medicine has been improved, today consciously unhindered, is thinking of the Mandarin Palace accompanied by the Prince reading, in order to fulfill their duties.”

Emperor Jinglong said, “Rarely do you have this diligence, but today’s lecture will be finished, you do not have to go in, go with the driver to serve in the imperial study.”

Su Yan’s heart thumped, and immediately hung up fifteen buckets, how could the Emperor suddenly order him to accompany him, could it be that the jade pendant had really fallen into his hands?

He boldly raised his eyes to peep, and saw that Emperor Jinglong’s face was gentle and tranquil, and felt that he was a bit sketchy, so he put down his heart and arched his hand, “I obeyed the decree.”

The imperial study has long been burning ambergris incense, waiting for the emperor to return from the morning court.

As soon as Emperor Jinglong entered, he frowned: “Remove the incense, the flavor is too strong, it smells like a heart block.”

Both sides of the chamberlain hastily came forward to remove the gilt beasts Kui Feet incense burner, but also with the pheasant feather palace fan to dispel the remaining smell, not long before the room is a refreshing.

Jinglong emperor only paced to the throne to sit down, casually picked up the folders on the desk to look through, the Secretary Secretary of the Imperial Chamberlain then held on the vermilion ink stone, still Hou emperor batch of red.

Su Yan hanging hands and stand, do not dare to make half a sound, after a long time, can not help but peep at the upper seat, see Jinglong emperor is posture elegantly reading folders, seems to have forgotten about him outside the clouds.

He quietly twisted his sore paws, depressed: somehow called to the imperial study, and left him unheard here, really think he is a large ornamental potted plant? In favor of their own can not first voice, can only wait for the emperor to remember that there is such a person to come, the ancient rituals of these officials and ministers, red tape is really troublesome through the top.

As he was bellyaching, His Majesty the Emperor in that room suddenly raised his head with a heartbeat.

A clear and dark fragrance floating in the air, such as the lilacs of the caged smoke and rain as refreshing, but also extremely thin and faint, if not there.

Emperor Jinglong looked around, his eyes landed on the courtier he had forgotten and said, “Su Yan, come here.”

Su Yan was stunned by the sudden naming of his name and subconsciously moved two steps forward.

Emperor Jinglong’s brows peaked together, “Closer.”

Su Yan wheedled and moved two more steps closer.

Emperor Jinglong was so angry and amused to see him cowering like a frightened little beast.

The son of heaven call pass, close to serve, how many courtiers begged not to come to the honor, but this person a look of fear, reluctant appearance, as if it is to give up their lives to feed the tiger in general.

At that moment, his face sank, saying, “What, I told you to come closer, you’re not happy?”

Su Yan saw the dragon’s face is not happy, only to come closer, next to the gold nanny chi phoenix pattern warped head case stand.

The thin fragrance seemed to be a little clearer, mixed with fresh moist vapor, Emperor Jinglong inhaled deeply and closed his eyes slightly drunkenly. After a very short period of time, he returned to normalcy and asked bashfully, “How old are you?”

“Back to the emperor, I will be seventeen in three months.” This is the original owner’s age, as for the honored one, a university graduate dog of twenty two.

Emperor Jinglong let out a sigh of relief, “Before the weak crown, he has already passed the examination to Gongshi, which is also considered to be an outstanding talent.” From the side of the case picked up a folded, handed him, “You see, what do you think?”
