The Way of the Consort

He couldn't fall asleep anymore, so Ji Zhao closed his eyes for a moment, then got up again, chatted with Chen Xing, and looked out the window from time to time.

"Would you like some tea, sir?"

Ji Zhao nodded, and Chen Xing poured hot water from the pot wrapped in the quilt, which was still scalding hot, to make tea for him.

Originally, their husband liked to drink green tea, but since he married the princess, he changed to black tea.In fact, it's not just drinking tea, even the temperament of their husband has changed more or less.Chen Xing and Yin Ming had discussed this matter in depth, and they were particularly worried.

They still remembered the scene where their husband hid in the Yin family's other courtyard and had a high fever after the marriage decree came down.

Giving a marriage is a happy event, and I dare not get sick, and even dare not ask a doctor if it is burned like this, otherwise it will be a serious crime if His Majesty finds out.

They almost thought that Mr. Lang was going to burn to death, but fortunately he woke up after all, but he was in a daze.

There was a time when their husband was unwilling to say a word, and finally opened his mouth on the day they got married, and after that, the husband changed.

Chen Xing handed the teacup to Ji Zhao: "Your Majesty, try it!"

Ji Zhao took a few sips and smiled at him, "It's delicious..."

Chen Xing also rolled his eyes with a smile. They all knew why the lord had these changes, but his future was fixed. As a son-in-law, unless the princess offered to make peace, their lord would stay in Jinling City for the rest of his life. .Then again, if the princess really took the initiative to reconcile, even if she was right, it must be the son-in-law's fault, and she would be convicted at that time, or it would be a death penalty.

Yin Ming said, that's it. If you are a son-in-law, you should be a son-in-law. Their husbands can do this in order not to worry everyone, so they naturally have to be sensible.

When Cheng Shen saw Ji Zhao from time to time, he lifted the curtain to take a look, and immediately rode over on his horse.

Ji Zhao smiled and asked, "How long will it take us to reach the city?"

"There are still more than 30 miles to go. If the son-in-law is in a hurry, let's hurry up."

"Don't rush, go slowly."

Cheng Shen liked this son-in-law very much, and knew that the son-in-law was bored in the carriage, so he pointed to his right hand and said, "My son-in-law, look there, the farm bestowed by your majesty is there, walk along this road for about ten miles The road is here!"

"Really?" Ji Zhao looked out curiously, and Chen Xing held up the curtain for him.

Cheng Shen further introduced: "There are quite a few hot springs near there, some of which have been opened, and some of which have not. There are several very good hot spring villages that have been built, right next to that farm. I set up a hot spring village! It’s on the mountain!”

Ji Zhao really didn't know about this, so he couldn't help but "wow" in surprise.

Cheng Shen laughed even more joyfully, and said again: "His Royal Highness has sent someone to take care of it a few days ago. After a few days, it will be winter and the weather will be cold. The son-in-law can go to the hot spring! The Zhuangzi chosen by our Highness, There are peach groves and plum groves, peach blossoms in spring and plums in winter, there are red plums, yellow plums and white plums!"

Hearing his description, Ji Zhao was also a little excited, and couldn't help asking: "But, can I go out of the city?"

Cheng Shen was startled, and smiled, "My son-in-law, Zhuangzi is not far from the city, so of course he can go!"

Ji Zhao was even more excited. He originally thought that he couldn't go anywhere and could only stay in the city, but he didn't expect to go to the suburbs to have fun. He asked again, "Have you visited?"

"That's right! His Highness has sent the younger ones to visit a few times!"

"Then tell me more about it!"

Cheng Shen rode his horse slowly, followed by the window, and told Ji Zhao what Zhuangzi looked like.

Ji Zhao listened for a while, and said with emotion: "This Zhuangzi sounds really nice, His Royal Highness is really nice!"

Responding to Cheng Shen's speechlessness, Cheng Shen laughed "hehe" in his heart, Zhuangzi is indeed very good, he is the best one, originally belonged to His Highness.As for their highness... If the son-in-law knew, all the people in that village were sent by his highness to keep an eye on them, and they even dug out the wall to build a dark room in the bedroom... Could the son-in-law still praise their highness like that?

Cheng Shen didn't show his face, and continued to tell funny stories to Ji Zhao with a beaming smile.

What Ji Zhao said was true, he really thought His Highness the Crown Prince was a good person.

He even began to blame himself. After all, he was misled by the book and thought too badly of His Royal Highness!Words cannot describe a person or thing perfectly and truly, because he is narrow-minded, and he sometimes confuses whether he was born in real history or only in a fictional history book.

No matter what, he felt that the prince was not as violent as it was written in the book.

If the prince is really such a person, why would he secretly give him a hot spring village?He begged to go to the palace, and the prince even sent someone to accompany him out to find someone.

The prince should be the kind of person who keeps things in his heart.

Ji Zhao thought silently. He originally planned to hug the prince's thigh tightly, but the prince was too indifferent and a little gloomy, and even seemed to dislike him. His thigh was not easy to hug, and he was a little hesitant.

Now he has decided, he wants to treat the prince better!If it is said that it was mostly deliberate at first, it is a bit sincere at this time.

Cheng Shen didn't know what the son-in-law was thinking, but he was happy when he said it, but the son-in-law was dumbfounded.

Is he not interesting?Cheng Shen stopped talking unknowingly, and Ji Zhao came back to his senses and looked up at him: "Why didn't you say anything?"

Cheng Shen continued to tell him with a smile.

Talking and laughing, the 30-mile journey was a long way, and the carriage stopped at the gate of Pingyang Hou's Mansion, and Ji Zhao was still a little bit reluctant.

Chen Xing jumped out of the carriage and helped him down, Cheng Shen and the others saluted him: "My son-in-law, you guys are going back to the palace now."

"Come in and have some tea and something to eat before you go."

"No, His Highness is still waiting for us to go back!"

Ji Zhao couldn't force it either, and stood at the door to watch them gallop towards the palace on horseback.

He just entered the door and walked in slowly, with his head lowered, obviously thinking about something.

Yin Ming and Chen Xing looked at each other, and Yin Ming took another step forward: "Lang Jun..."

"Ah—" Ji Zhao came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take a hot bath, drink some hot ginger soup, and take a rest."

"We're fine!" Yin Ming said guiltily, "Lang Jun, that scroll fell into the water and disappeared."

Ji Zhaohun didn't care: "It's okay!"

Chen Xing said: "I'll draw another picture!"

Ji Zhao shook his head: "No, there is no need to draw any more."

"Lang Jun, aren't we looking for it?"

Ji Zhao felt that when he went out to look for someone, but he didn't find it so smoothly, he hit a boat and fell into the water, maybe it was the meaning of the gods, if he didn't let him look for him, he wouldn't look for him.

Ji Zhao stood where he was, figured it out, and was about to walk in when he discovered that there was a ginkgo tree in his yard.

His face lit up, and he pointed to the tall, luxuriant and golden ginkgo tree behind the main house: "There are ginkgo trees in the house!"

"It is said that this ginkgo is more than 200 years old!"

Ji Zhao immediately walked towards the ginkgo tree excitedly, and turned around his mansion for the first time.His Hou Mansion was originally the royal mansion of the previous dynasty, and was once awarded to a courtier by the late emperor.After the official passed away, the family returned to their hometown, and the house was taken back by the palace. It was not until this time that he became a marquis that the house was given to him again.

It is said that feng shui is very good, and Ji Zhao didn't understand it. He walked around and found that the scenery was really good.

A thick layer of ginkgo leaves had been laid under the ginkgo tree. When Ji Zhao stepped on it, the soles of his feet were pierced. He bent down to touch it, and picked up a ginkgo fruit whose coat had not faded from the pile of ginkgo leaves. Laughed: "There are ginkgo fruits here!"

People behind him came up one after another to help him pick up ginkgo fruits on the ground, and Chen Xing went back to get some baskets.

The ginkgo trees are too luxuriant, and there are many ginkgo fruits falling, and a basket is full in a short while.

Chen Xing waved to him again from a distance, and shouted: "Lang Jun! Come and see! There are still pear trees here!"

Ji Zhao ran over quickly, and the yellow pears were all over the branches, and the branches fell heavily under the weight.

Ji Zhao reached out to pick one, opened his mouth to bite, Yin Ming quickly took out the handkerchief and wiped it clean for him, Ji Zhao smiled embarrassedly, took a bite, it was as sweet as honey, he nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious! Pick more, everyone will eat!"

Ji Zhao was the only master in the mansion, and everyone naturally circled around him. When he spoke, everyone came forward to pick pears, laughing and boisterously.

The pear tree is probably old, and it is also tall and strong.

After playing here for half an hour, they picked up three baskets of gingko and two baskets of pears.

The fruit picked by himself is incense, and Ji Zhaoming sent everything to his house.

He went back and washed his hands, changed his clothes, sat down at the table, and looked at the fruits he picked up and picked as if he were looking at a work of art.

It suddenly occurred to me, aren’t autumn pears and ginkgo both nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs?

When he was still in modern times, he also often coughed and did not eat less.

He immediately thought of the prince in the palace, last time he heard the prince cough desperately, went to the East Palace last night, although he said it was better, the prince still coughed from time to time, and his voice was very hoarse.

Ji Zhao thought about it, and then asked people to find some beautiful fabrics, and then ordered people to go to the backyard to pick some pear branches and bring back some ginkgo leaves. Everyone was very busy, but they didn't know what he was going to do.

After getting all the things back, Ji Zhao first picked out a few pieces of fabric, and then carefully selected the beautiful branches and ginkgo leaves.

He picked a table full and asked them to take it down and clean the leaves.

Wash and dry, and then send the leaves back. Ji Zhao is already peeling the red coats of the ginkgo fruits with his own hands. Chen Xing and the others want to help, but he refuses. It hurts! Don't let this thing hurt your hand!"

The fourth drinker also nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! The younger ones just come!"

Ji Zhao still didn't allow them to touch it, and peeled all the ginkgo fruits by himself, which probably took an hour.

After peeling it off, he picked out the best ones again, picked out the ginkgo fruit that he thought was beautiful, and asked someone to take it down and wash it.

Everyone didn't know what to do, and finally, even the ginkgo was washed and dried.

Ji Zhao started loading baskets.

He brought two bamboo baskets of the same size, and put two pieces of autumn green cloth in them, one with pear branches and the other with ginkgo leaves.

Only then did everyone see something, is this a gift?Is it for the princess?

They are almost certain that such a carefully selected basket must be given to the princess!

Ji Zhao then packed Qiuli and Baiguo in and tidied them up, and finally smiled: "It's done!"

He admired it for a while, looked up at the four drinks, and finally chose the orange Fanta, which matched the color of the two food, and he ordered: "You send these two baskets of fruit to the palace to the prince! Go now! "

"..." Everyone was stunned, what about giving it to the princess?

"What's wrong?" Ji Zhao was puzzled.

Fanta immediately came back to his senses, and explained bluntly: "My son-in-law, His Royal Highness never eats from outside."

"That's it..." Ji Zhao felt a little regretful, but quickly smiled, "It's okay, you send it! These can relieve coughs! It's suitable for His Royal Highness to eat! Just say, this is a ginkgo tree that is more than 200 years old, More than 100 years of pear trees! They are all excellent! He will definitely eat them! And this is a gift from me!"

"..." Fanta was very distressed. It was not a question of whether to eat or not, but that he might offend His Highness.

Besides, it is precisely because it was given by the consort...

However, he couldn't afford to offend the son-in-law, so Fanta had no choice but to carry two baskets of things into the palace to give gifts.
