Yan Cheng walked into the Zichen Palace, and the palace servants came to guide the way: "Please, Your Royal Highness."

He didn't see the queen, so he asked, "Where is your empress?"

The palace man replied: "The Empress has gone to Liufangzhai."

Liufangzhai is just beside Zichen Hall, and it is also Xu Yin's current residence.Yan Cheng asked: "Is Princess Jin unwell?"

The palace man replied with a smile: "That's not true, it's just that Princess Jin's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the empress is worried, so she has to go and see for herself every day."

Yan Cheng let out an oh, and didn't ask any more questions.

The palace man led him to the inner room: "Please, Your Highness."

Yan Cheng stepped inside and found that Emperor Mingde was still wearing unlined clothes, leaning on the bedside to take medicine.

He walked over quickly and took the soup bowl from the waiter's hand: "I'll do it."

"Your Highness..." The servant looked at Emperor Ming De's expression and let go.

Yan Cheng scooped up the medicine soup, a smell of medicine came to his nostrils, he blew carefully, and brought it to his father's mouth.

Emperor Mingde swallowed, and said: "I suddenly remembered that when I was in Tongyang, I once suppressed horse thieves and suffered serious injuries. You were only five years old at that time, and when you saw that your father was bedridden, you thought He couldn't survive, and he was crying and feeding medicine, but he almost choked to death as a father."

Hearing him mention the embarrassing things when he was a child, Yan Cheng showed an embarrassed smile.

Emperor Mingde's eyes showed sadness: "It's been so many years in a flash, I never thought I'd eat the soup you gave me again."

Yan Cheng was also sore in his heart. After feeding the last two mouthfuls, he asked softly, "What's wrong with father? Didn't you say that it will be fine if you raise it? Why did you start to stay in bed? Could it be... that the injury has worsened?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Emperor Mingde waved his hand: "It's nothing, I'm just too tired to get up, so don't think about it."

"Really?"

"Really." Emperor Mingde said with a smile, "If the father is really seriously injured, can your mother go away?"

Only then did Yan Cheng calm down.

"You came just in time, I have something, I just wanted to ask you." Emperor Mingde got up and got off the bed, and the palace servants hurried forward to put his coat on him.

The father and son sat down on the arhat bed, and Emperor Mingde took out a memorial from the side and handed it over: "Zheng Kui brought the lawsuit before me, saying that you are biased, what do you think?"

Yan Cheng took a look and became anxious.

This Zheng Kui is the governor of Licheng in Qi County. After they won Qi County last year, they appointed a new governor to be in charge of logistics, and Zheng Kui was one of them.

Not long ago, something went wrong with the front-line military supplies, involving several companies, pushing each other, and finally the trouble came to Yan Cheng.

After Yan Cheng dealt with it, this Zheng Kui was the one who was punished the most.

"Father, he is just talking nonsense." Yan Cheng said angrily, "This matter has been investigated, and if something happened to him, who will be responsible if he is not responsible?"

"But he said that Hong Qing was responsible for escorting the things, and he found something wrong when he arrived in Licheng. It can be seen that something happened on the road. If you didn't investigate carefully, you just held him down. It was clearly to help Hong Qing get rid of the crime. Qing is a disciple of the Xie family."

Yan Cheng sneered: "Hong Qing's supervision was not strict, and I fined him too. It's clear, what reason does he have to argue?"

"So, you think it's okay to deal with it this way?"

Under his father's watchful eyes, Yan Cheng felt a little guilty, and finally bit the bullet and replied: "No problem."

Emperor Mingde nodded, and didn't ask any more questions: "I'm tired for my father, you can go."

Seeing that his expression was normal, Yan Cheng thought about it for a while, and still felt that there was no problem, so he pretended to be calm, saluted and left.

But after he left, Emperor Mingde lowered his eyelids.

The memorial was written by Zheng Kui, but it was handed to him through Xu Huan's channel, and the meaning was already very clear.The point of this matter is not who is responsible, but someone who dares to use military supplies.

Emperor Ming De calmly threw the memorial back.

There was movement outside, and the queen's voice came over: "September is entering autumn very quickly, you should prepare your things earlier, you can't be negligent during confinement."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Where's the ginseng that was brought up in Liaozhou a few days ago? Take it out first—hey, what are you doing? You can't put on your clothes when you get up, and the room smells like medicine. I've only been away for a long time, and you're making trouble!"

Emperor Mingde stood up with a face of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I'm just being lazy, I'll clean it up right away."

As he spoke, he winked at the waiter and went to the cubicle to change clothes.

The queen asked people to open the window to ventilate, and at the same time disliked: "He is so big, he doesn't care about it like a child. His clothes are not buttoned, and he is tied with a forehead belt, which makes the whole room smell of medicine. Those who don't know it think they are dying of illness." , it's outrageous!"

……

In August, Dong's old house was renovated and a banquet was held.

Xu Yin hadn't been out of the palace for several days, so he simply followed the queen to play.

The Dong family is now an upstart in the capital, the banquet is not big, but there are many distinguished guests.After sitting for a while, Xu Yin saw Princess Jinghua and Princess Jiayi coming together.

She couldn't help saying: "Look at you two being so kind, you're really not used to it."

The two princesses smiled at each other and sat next to her.

"Let's not talk about you, we're not used to it ourselves. We've been fighting for more than ten years, but in the end it's the two of us who suffer from the same disease."

After Princess Jinghua finished speaking, Princess Jiayi tugged at her sleeves.She realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, our marriage has become a big problem."

Princess Jiayi was forcibly granted a marriage by the false emperor before, and after the divorce, she has no intention of remarrying.Princess Jinghua has experienced family changes, but she hasn't found a suitable one until now.

Xu Yin knew their concerns, and said with a smile, "It's right for you to be more picky. It's a matter of life, and the most important thing is to find someone you like. Anyway, you have food, and no one thinks you can't get married."

The two princesses laughed: "You are speaking from experience."

The two surrounded Xu Yin's stomach, touched it curiously, and even lay down on it to listen.

"Are you tired with such a big belly?"

"How long is it? Look at it soon?"

"That's you, you dare to go out with such a big belly."

Xu Yin rubbed his belly and said, "Fortunately, my body is strong and I'm not too tired. I'm eight months old now, and I'll give birth in about a month. I can't be idle, and the imperial doctor also said that walking around is good for health." Some."

Then we talked about Princess Changning.

Princess Jinghua said vaguely: "She wrote back to me, and she said it very well. She never knew that she could do so many things, and every day is very fulfilling."

Princess Jiayi was curious: "Is she a county magistrate now? Does she have an official seal?"

Xu Yin replied: "There is a seal, but there is no formal report. We have to wait for this matter to see if it is a special case or something."

After all, it is rare for a woman to be an official, and Princess Changning's status is special.Although she didn't want to restore her title, it was up to Emperor Mingde how to deal with it in the end.

After speaking, Dong Qi came over to say hello, so the topic moved away from this matter, and everyone happily chatted about gossip.
