The emperor actually had no intention of eavesdropping, but when he heard this, he didn't want to interrupt the conversation of the two people in the room.

Ji Heng forced him to agree to let him leave Beijing to take up an official position. The emperor was very embarrassed and painful about it. He didn't want to let Ji Heng go. I still don't know what Ji Heng can do.

Regardless of Ji Heng's personality, let's talk about the emperor's own thoughts on Ji Heng, if he used to be full of possessiveness towards Ji Heng, but seeing Ji Heng conceive and give birth to him, and experiencing unspeakable pain, he Said that he was afraid of his calmness and firmness when he became weak. These have been engraved deep in the emperor's mind, and he understood Ji Heng better, not as a lover, nor as a courtier, but as a complete soul.

The Buddha said that people have eight consciousnesses: eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, consciousness, mana consciousness, and alaya consciousness.Because of these eight senses, people live in the world, and there is the biggest difference from others. What the emperor needs to understand and understand now is not what Ji Heng wants to do under the restrictions of him as the emperor, but what Ji Heng himself wants to do. , what is he pursuing, what is he yearning for, and what does he want to become.

The emperor understands that he is pursuing the great cause of being a wise emperor through the ages, so that his people can be honored by being born in this era, and after a hundred years, he can also face his ancestors.

And Ji Heng seems to be pursuing his own "Tao".

It is not the "Tao" for the minister, but his own way.

What is this way, the emperor felt that he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

But he knew that it should be "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening".

Therefore, he had to restrain his reluctance and agreed to Ji Heng, so he could only let him go.

It's just that when he heard Xu's words at this time, he had to have a little hope again, would Ji Heng stay for his mother.

Ji Heng treated Xu's only rationally.

He looked at Mrs. Xu earnestly, and said, "It is indeed the son's fault for not telling mother in advance. However, it was difficult to say this before. As a subject, he has been an official in Beijing like his father. There are very few experienced people in the local area, and it is precisely this point of the father that has been criticized by many adults. For the future of the son, the mother must be considerate of the son no matter what. Even if the son leaves Beijing to go to the local government to become an official , and will not stay in the local area for a lifetime, and will always come back to Beijing. If it is really too long in the local area, it will be the same to pick up my mother. "

Xu said angrily, "You child, you know how to coax me. You have just been admitted to the first prize, so why do you have to go to the local government? Even if you are in the Imperial Academy, you can do it for a few years first. If it is not possible, you can go to the local government Why do you want to go this year? Besides, your health is not good. If you don’t confine yourself well, it will do more damage to your health. In any case, you have to take good care of it for half a year, otherwise I won’t let you go. "

Ji Heng frowned and wanted to persuade Mrs. Xu again, but Mrs. Xu suddenly said, "Besides, you don't even have a family, so why do you want to go to other places? Of the relatives I showed you, which one do you like? I said before that everything is up to me, so I will be the one to decide, no matter what, you should get married first before leaving."

The emperor wanted to listen to it again, but the Xu family threw such a thunderbolt, which shocked the emperor to the point where he lost all reason. He opened the door and entered the room.

Not only was there a sound when the door was pushed open, but there was also a curtain hanging on the door, and the sound of the curtain also indicated that someone had come in.

Both Xu and Ji Heng looked over, only to see the emperor's face darkened, obviously dissatisfied.

Both Ji Heng and Xu realized that the emperor had heard their words, Xu seemed a little uneasy, but immediately calmed down again, and bowed to the emperor.

Although the emperor was dissatisfied with the fact that Mrs. Xu wanted to marry Ji Heng, he still respected her as Ji Heng's mother, so he did not embarrass her, and he was very calm about overhearing the two of them, and said directly, "Madam, don't be too polite. Just now I heard that you are going to discuss marriage for Junqing, Junqing is already my wife and has a prince for me, how can you discuss marriage with others."

Ji Heng was expressionless, while Xu said bluntly to the emperor, "The emperor's words are wrong. Heng'er is a man. Even if he gave birth to a prince for the emperor, the emperor did not offer to marry him, so Heng'er is not Your Majesty's wife. Why can't he discuss marriage anymore? Does the Emperor mean that Heng'er will live alone all his life? Now I still have the energy to take care of Heng'er. , but what do you want Heng'er to do, don't you even have a companion?"

The emperor stared at Mrs. Xu eagerly and said, "Naturally, I will accompany him, why is he a loner, besides, we also have our own children and grandchildren..."

Xu interrupted him and said, "That's your son and grandson, your majesty, the royal family. How can our Ji family climb up there. Majesty, please be considerate of Heng'er and let a woman take care of him."

The emperor said firmly, "No!"

Xu's anger stopped talking, and she just looked at Ji Heng, asking Ji Heng to make a show.

Ji Heng glanced at the two of them, and then said in a low voice, "Let's talk about this later."

"How can we talk about it later!" The Xu family and the emperor said in unison, but each had their own meaning.

Ji Heng frowned slightly, "I'm not feeling well, I want to rest, so don't make trouble because of this."

Ji Heng's method is obviously the most common tactic used by men. When he encounters something that he doesn't know how to do, he just cares about him.

Xu still wanted to say more, but seeing that the emperor had stepped forward to help Ji Heng lie down to sleep, she was not to be outdone, lest she would be nagging all the time, and instead appear to be inferior to the emperor because of too much nagging.

Xu didn't say goodbye to the emperor, turned around and went out to see his grandson in the other room.

Mrs. Xu has already given His Royal Highness a nickname, "Sweetheart".

But that's the only way she calls it, and the darling little Highness eats and sleeps, and doesn't care about anyone else. Even if Mrs. Xu teases him, he will open his eyes at most. Those big black eyes are like a mirror. Reflect Xu's happy smile inside.

After Mrs. Xu went out, the emperor sat down by the bed and wanted to smooth the big braid on Ji Heng's head. Ji Heng raised his hand to block his hand, and said with a frown, "My hair is very dirty, don't worry about it." bump."

The emperor froze for a moment, but wanted to touch it, so Ji Heng gave him a stare. The emperor was not afraid of his stare, and after smoothing Ji Heng's braid, he said, "It's not dirty."

Ji Heng sighed in a low voice, and said, "Mother said it would take a month to wash, but I can't bear it now."

The emperor said, "I'll wipe it for you, and forget about taking a bath. The body is more important."

Ji Heng said, "You guys are thinking too badly. It is to keep your body clean that you can stay healthy. I don't think your body will be healthy if it is so dirty."

Seeing Ji Heng's frowning, with a look of helplessness and pain, the emperor softened his heart, and said, "I'll put a few heaters in the room and use more hot water, so I don't think it will freeze. But, Ma'am It’s hard to explain.”

The emperor made a soft gesture and pushed the role of this villain onto Xu.

Ji Heng, on the other hand, was exquisite. Knowing that the emperor had just had a dispute with Mrs. Xu, both of them would soften their minds towards him afterwards, so he whispered to the emperor, "Find a way to let my mother go home, and then Let me prepare some water for bathing, I will take a bath just in time, and when my mother comes back, no one will say anything, it will be fine."

Ji Heng has always loved cleanliness. In winter, although he doesn't take a bath every day, even if he doesn't sweat a bit, he has to take a shower and wash his hair in at most three or four days. Wash it twice.

Compared with other literati and bureaucrats in the capital, they usually wash once every ten days after taking a bath, which is considered to be very frequent.

He was sweating all over during childbirth, but he was simply wiped off afterward. When he regained his energy, he felt unbearable all over his body, and he felt uncomfortable even when eating and sleeping. To take a bath, he really felt that his life would be worse than death.

The emperor looked at Ji Heng and stared at him expectantly, which seemed a bit pitiful and pleading.

The emperor really couldn't bear it, so he said, "In that case, I will try to get Madam to leave for a while."

Ji Heng reached out and took his hand, made a gesture of shaking hands, and then said, "Thank you for your kindness."

The emperor made a smile.

It is not difficult for Ji Heng and the emperor to lure the Xu family away.

Ji Heng said that he wanted something, and it was locked in a cabinet in his room in Ji Mansion, and asked Mrs. Xu to get it.

Mrs. Xu was very smart, so she said to Ji Heng, "I didn't hear you say you want it before, why do you want it now. You can't take a bath while I'm away, it's not good for your health."

The emperor said, "Madam, don't worry, I will watch over you."

Anyway, he didn't say anything about watching Ji Heng, the emperor kept his word, so naturally he didn't tell lies.

Seeing that the emperor had a guarantee, the Xu family went back to Jifu.

As soon as Mrs. Xu left, the emperor ordered the bath soup to be prepared quickly, and had three heaters put in the clean room to keep it warm.

Despite these preparations, the emperor was still worried that bathing would really affect Ji Heng's body, so he summoned Imperial Physician Weng in the study to inquire. If it's freezing, it's okay.

So the emperor became an accomplice and helped Ji Heng to deceive the Xu family together.

The clean room was filled with hot air. Ji Heng sat on the stool, still wearing a bathrobe, and closed his eyes to let the maid wash his hair.

The emperor was sitting in the study reviewing the memorial. He wondered if Ji Heng would get cold when he took a bath, so he got up suddenly. He was too eager to knock over the cinnabar ink. He was wearing light blue casual clothes that day. , and the clothes were dyed red.

The maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly came forward to tidy up, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is negligent. This servant will send someone to get a change of clothes immediately."

The emperor said, "Go ahead and bring it to the main house."

With that said, he left the study room first.

After Ji Heng gave birth, although there were still no guards on duty in the inner courtyard, the emperor often brought memorials to review, so there were guards at the door of the study.

The guards were startled when they saw the redness on the emperor's body, thinking that the emperor was injured, but the emperor said, "It's just ink."
