The Way of the Consort

Baoqing was the first to see Princess Fuchen. Before he could take back the smile on his face, he turned around first: "Princess! You are here!" He turned back and told Zongzhen, "Your Highness, son-in-law, the princess is here !"

Ji Zhao showed two eyes from Zongzhen's shoulder, turned around and looked outside the door: "The princess is coming?!"

Only then did Princess Fuchen come back to her senses, and she strode in: "Yes! I heard about it when I woke up this morning, and it scared me! I'll come right away!"

"I'm fine..." Ji Zhao still leaned on Zong Zhen.

Princess Fuchen walked to the side of the bed, looked at him carefully, frowned and said, "What's the matter with being so injured? The person who reported back didn't explain carefully."

Zong Zhen thought for a while, trying to move his body so that his sister could talk to Ji Zhao.Ji Zhao gave him a dissatisfied look, so he had no choice but to continue sitting and let Ji Zhao lean on him.Fu Chen discovered this detail, and felt weird again, but it's a pity that Princess Fu Chen didn't understand her own emotional affairs in two lifetimes, and naturally she couldn't understand other people's affairs!

Ji Zhao commanded Bao Qing: "Get the princess a chair to sit on." After Princess Fuchen sat down, he said again, "There are so many delicious foods, I can't eat many of them, I haven't touched them, and they are still hot. Did the princess have breakfast? Eat some!"

Zong Zhen also nodded: "use it..."

"..." Princess Fuchen looked at the two of them who were singing together, frowned and thought for a while, but she couldn't figure it out. She was really hungry, so she just sat down and started eating.

While she was eating, Ji Zhao told her what happened yesterday.

Princess Fuchen put down her chopsticks and exclaimed: "This is too dangerous! Fortunately, my brother happened to be here yesterday! Fortunately, my brother found you!"

"Yeah!" Ji Zhao nodded, "I really almost died yesterday..."

Princess Fuchen said distressedly: "Does it hurt?"

"It must be painful, but luckily I'm still alive, as long as you listen to the doctor's advice, you'll be fine, the princess doesn't have to worry."

Princess Fuchen patted her heart: "I will go to the Dabaoen Temple to worship later, and I will ask you a few peace talismans to come back. This year, I will make an agreement with the abbot in advance. On the first day of the first month, I will go to buy incense. Please bless you .”

Ji Zhao turned up the corner of his mouth and smiled very cutely. Zong Zhen looked down at him with satisfaction in his eyes.

"..." Princess Fuchen suddenly felt that she was a bit redundant?

She picked up the spoon and continued to drink the porridge. While eating, she listened to Ji Zhao telling her more details about last night, exclaiming from time to time, the room was lively.Zong Zhen watched and listened from the side, and thought it was quite interesting.

Apart from his father, these two people are the people he cares about most in the world.

Thinking of this, he paused, but soon he accepted it calmly, yes, Ji Zhao is the person he cares about most in this life, and he doesn't even want to add the word "one".

The more Ji Zhao talked with Fu Chen, the more excited he became. His uninjured hand waved wildly and almost hit the wound. Zong Zhen interrupted in time: "Okay, you have to take medicine. After taking medicine, lie down and rest well."

Ji Zhao curled his lips: "I just said a few words to the princess?"

"Have you forgotten the time when you cried in pain just now?"

"Am I crying because of the pain? I'm crying because you're angry with me! You said you didn't attack me anymore, look, you're angry with me again!"

"..." Zong Zhen was rendered speechless by what he said.

When Princess Fuchen saw her brother being choked by the son-in-law, she was still giggling, she didn't know anything!

Doctor Bai and Doctor Luo brought in the medicine together, and checked Ji Zhao's body by the way. Ji Zhao drank the medicine in one gulp, and quickly opened his mouth to Zongzhen: "I drank it all, ah—"

"Well, good."

Zong Zhen threw a piece of candy into his mouth, Princess Fuchen thought it was so interesting, and laughed again.

Bao Qing watched from the side, countless "..." floated in his heart, sometimes they really didn't know what to say to the slowness of the masters, so they could only continue to watch like this.

After taking the medicine, the effect of the medicine came up soon, Ji Zhao couldn't hold on, and was about to fall asleep.

He grabbed Zongzhen's finger and tried hard: "Don't go..."

"Sleep well, I won't go."

"Really don't go..."

"I really don't want to go..." Zong Zhen bent down, held half of his face with his hands, and said softly, "Go to sleep, be good."

Princess Fuchen stood behind her brother, watching all this curiously, she was happy that her brother and son-in-law had such a good relationship.

After Ji Zhao fell asleep, Zong Zhen pulled out his fingers, stuffed Ji Zhao's hand back into the quilt, turned back and said to Fu Chen, "Let him sleep well, let's go out and talk."

Princess Fuchen nodded, and the two of them walked down the corridor, looking at the snowman in the yard, Princess Fuchen smiled and said, "They are all made by concubines? It's so interesting..."

With a smile in his eyes, Zong Zhen nodded slowly.

"Brother, the Chinese New Year is only ten days away. What should we do? My father also wants to have a New Year's Eve dinner with my son-in-law's grandfather's family on New Year's Eve this year."

"See how he recovers during these days. If he wants to go back to the city, he can go back. If his body can't bear it, he has no choice but to give up."

Fu Chen nodded: "That's the only way to go. By the way—" She looked sideways at Zong Zhen, "When I came, I saw Zong Mi and Zong Yan in the front yard, didn't you see them?"

Zong Zhen frowned: "If it wasn't for their foolishness, why would Ji Zhao suffer this crime?"

"That's right! Brother, you can figure it out!" Princess Fuchen said and stretched, "It scared me to death when I got up in the morning. I'm still a little sleepy. I'll go to my yard to catch up on sleep. I plan to If I go back to the city tomorrow, I can bring the news of the son-in-law’s well-being to my grandfather and grandmother. Here, the son-in-law, please take care of me! I’m most at ease with my brother!”

What my sister said was very common, but Zong Zhen found it a little tasteless.

His kindness to Ji Zhao was not because of his sister's entrustment.

Furthermore, is the relationship between my sister and the Yin family already so good?

"Let's go, I'm going to catch up on sleep." Fu Chen covered her mouth and yawned, walked down the stairs, and took her maids away. Zong Zhen watched her go, and continued to look at all kinds of snow in the yard Man, the smile returned to his eyes.

This sleep lasted until dark before Ji Zhao woke up. While he was sleeping, His Majesty sent Xiang Sheng to come. Grandmother even wanted to come over in person, but the family finally persuaded her. After all, she was old and the mountain was too cold.Grandma didn't come, Yin Yu came, and by the way, Ji Chongjin and Ji Chongyuan brothers also came together.

After Ji Zhao woke up, he saw a room full of people.

Although he was a sick patient with injuries all over his body, he was extremely excited.Seeing so many people, he was so frightened that he immediately started looking for Zong Zhen. He thought Zong Zhen had left again!

Until, when he found Zong Zhen who was standing outside the crowd looking at him tenderly, his heart sank again, and a particularly lovely smile appeared on his face.

There was also a smile in Zong Zhen's eyes, and he let Ji Zhao's relatives rush up, Yin Yu and Ji Chongyuan were the most noisy, and since they could really make Ji Zhao laugh, Zong Zhen didn't stop him.

Until the two of them quarreled unreasonably, Ji Zhao also wanted to get out of bed and join in the quarrel. Zong Zhen stepped forward and slipped out one by one. Only Ji Chongjin was still sitting by the bed, holding Ji Zhao's hand, and said softly: "Three Brother, you must pay attention in the future, how can you go out to have fun in this icy and snowy place, and you are on the mountain again, you..."

Ji Zhao's ears were almost calloused.

At this time, Princess Fuchen also came, and when she saw Ji Chongjin, her eyes lit up: "Brother is here too!"

Ji Chongjin quickly stood up and saluted her: "I have seen the princess..."

"Oh, you don't have to be so polite when relatives meet in private. When did you arrive? I'm enjoying the snow in the backyard, and I don't know anything."

Ji Chongjin smiled and said, "My fourth brother and I arrived at noon, and we have been here with my third brother all the time."

"Are you still leaving today? How about staying for a few days? The snow scene here is beautiful."

Zong Zhen mercilessly dragged the two of them out, mainly because his own sister talked a lot.

The room was finally quiet now, when Zong Zhen came back, Ji Zhao stared at him with round eyes.

Zong Zhen stopped and stood where he was. Ji Zhao stretched out his uninjured arm towards him, dangling back and forth: "I want to hug you!"

Zong Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud, he was so precious, he stepped forward, stood beside the bed, and let Ji Zhao wrap his arms around his waist, and buried his face in his arms.

Except for Ji Chongjin, everyone wanted to stay and play for a few days, but they were all driven away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mercilessly.

The next day, the villa became quiet again. His Highness the Crown Prince felt that it was suitable for Ji Zhao to recover from his illness. Besides, if there were too many people, Ji Zhao would only see those people in his eyes. In fact, this was the main reason, right?However, His Royal Highness, who was dull, didn't realize it at all.

As the increasingly busy His Royal Highness, Zong Zhen must also return to the city.

When Ji Zhao was recuperating from illness, he suddenly became a little crying bag. When he heard that Zongzhen was leaving, two tears burst out of his eyes, which made people feel distressed. Zongzhen stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Ji Zhao just blinked slightly , Jindoudou fell into his palm, it was very hot.Zong Zhen put his arm around him, and wrapped the other palm cherishingly around the two golden beans, explaining: "I leave early and return late, and I will definitely come here to accompany you at night."

"But what you said never counted..."

"Really, the new year is approaching, and there are many things in the palace. I always have to share my worries for my father."

Ji Zhao pouted and nodded: "I know, then you have gone, and you must come back at night. If you don't come back, I will cry, and I can't sleep. If I can't sleep, I won't be able to recuperate. If I don't recuperate, my body will suffer." not good……"

Relying on his tenacious willpower, His Royal Highness finally walked out of the door of Ji Zhao's bedroom, and led the people back to the city in a hurry.

Chen Xing and the others are almost awake, but they are all recovering from their illnesses. Zong Zhen left Bao Qing and Xiao Quanzi to Ji Zhao.

In the afternoon, it started snowing profusely outside again. Ji Zhao couldn't sit still on the bed, and insisted on getting up from the bed because his leg was still intact. Zong Zhen was not around, and no one could hold Ji Zhao down.

Ji Zhao put on a thick fur cloak, stood on the porch looking in the direction of the gate, and asked Bao Qing from time to time, "When will your highness come back?"

He didn't need Bao Qing's answer, and he said to himself: "If he doesn't come, I won't be able to sleep again tonight."

In fact, what happened a few days ago still traumatized Ji Zhao quite a bit. He lost his courage again, and he always had the nightmare of falling off the cliff repeatedly, which was the time when he was the most clingy.In this world, there is always only one person who he can trust 100% and cling to, and is willing to cling to him.

Baoqing and the others couldn't persuade them to go back at all. They waited until the lights on the porch were lit to illuminate the little snowmen in the yard. Ji Zhao's yard was on a high place, and he could see the gate of the villa. When the light came on, Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked down the stairs and went straight out.Bao Qing rushed over to stop him, but he was afraid of hurting him instead. The group followed him carefully until they met Zong Zhen who also noticed them and quickened his pace.

"Brother!" Ji Zhao excitedly threw himself into Zong Zhen's arms.

Zong Zhen pulled away the sable fur on his body, and said anxiously: "Slow down, slow down!"

Ji Zhao slipped into his arms, and Zong Zhen wrapped him tightly in sable fur, not willing to reprimand him, but said softly, "How can you run around outside in such a cold day?"

"I'm wearing thick clothes! It's not cold at all!" Ji Zhao was still proud.

Zong Zhen glanced at Bao Qing and the others, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look up.

Zong Zhen took advantage of the situation and picked up Ji Zhao, carrying him back.

No matter how excited Ji Zhao was, he was still ill after all. After standing and waiting for so long in the afternoon, he had dinner with Zongzhen, drank the medicine, changed the medicine for the wound, and lay down on the bed, holding Zongzhen's hand. hand, he fell asleep quickly.After making sure that Ji Zhao was fast asleep, Zong Zhen took out his fingers and tucked in the quilt for him.

When he walked out of the inner room, Bao Qing took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Your Highness, they are all petty and incompetent, and cannot stop the son-in-law."

In fact, Zongzhen knew that even he might not be able to stop what Ji Zhao wanted to do, let alone Baoqing and the others?

He said helplessly: "You should try to persuade him more or less. If you really can't persuade him, he still has to stay in the corridor. You should remember to put some charcoal basins and give him a hand stove to hold him."

"Yes, yes, that's what the little ones do!" Bao Qing finished his response, and said, "Your Highness, the son-in-law has been waiting in the porch early today, and the little ones feel sorry for the son-in-law."

Why doesn't Zong Zhen feel distressed?

He got up, went to the yard, looked at the little snowmen all over the yard, and felt moved.

It took an hour for His Royal Highness to make a snowman, and he ordered Baoqing to cut a piece of fur and put it on the little snowman. Then he clapped his hands and got up, and went to sleep with Ji Zhao.

When Ji Zhao woke up the next day, Zong Zhen had already left.

Ji Zhao sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and then gradually regained his senses. He washed slowly, ate breakfast, took medicine, and changed his medicine. He wandered out of the house and wanted to see the snowman in the yard. Diaoqiu's little snowman, he said "Huh", Bao Qing laughed and said, "His Highness built this with his own hands last night."

Ji Zhao walked up to him, lowered his head to look carefully, and said with a smile, "Is this yourself that Your Highness made?"

Bao Qing also laughed: "Perhaps that's what His Highness meant! In this way, even if His Highness has something to do back in the palace, he can still be with his son-in-law!"

When Ji Zhao heard this, he smiled very brightly. It's a pity that although his leg was not broken and he could walk, he was wounded and couldn't squat down.

He asked Baoqing and the others to lift the snowman up on the wooden board, then moved it to the table, and found another box of gems. He picked out two beautiful obsidian and put them on the snowman's face one by one, "This is your highness's face." Eyes!" He drew another horizontal line with a carving knife, "This is the mouth!"

"Uh, son-in-law, why is it a horizontal line?"

"Have you ever laughed, Your Highness? Those who don't like to laugh are of course horizontal lines!"

Bao Qing thought in his heart: Obviously he laughed before!Laugh when I see you!

Ji Zhao also asked the maid to make a furry hat for the snowman, and clapped his hands: "You're done!"

Baoqing looked around, let alone such a dress, it really looks alike, as expected, making a snowman still depends on the son-in-law!

Ji Zhao touched the little snowman's head with his hands, and said softly with a smile, "Then you can accompany me instead of your Highness!"
