Chapter 257
Author: Qing Yunmo
Xiao Changqi's expression was slightly distorted, and he stood still with one hand on his waist.
Although the emperor consciously implemented benevolent policies, in fact he was really self-conscious.
His temper and patience are not good, even when it comes to his biological son.
As for Xiao Changqi, he stopped people in the morning court and said something about them, which was actually to show that he was favored.
His good intentions were very clear to the princes who were in a similar situation to him.
It's just that these princes are not seven or eight-year-old children. Most of them have many sons and daughters, so they really don't have much expectations for the so-called father-son relationship.
Because the scene was unpleasant, and because I was worried that the emperor would think more highly of Xiao Changqi, they all stood still and looked over casually.
The emperor was patient with his own son, but not much.
After listening for a long time, I didn't hear anything useful, so I frowned impatiently and asked, "What's so important?"
Xiao Changqi was stunned. He didn't have anything important to do. He just wanted to answer the rumors that he had the Sacred Heart by talking to his father.
There was a storm in his mind, and he finally came up with a conscious and safe answer. Xiao Changqi asked with a concerned look, "How is your father's health these days?"
The emperor frowned, not understanding why he asked.
Although he felt that his physical condition was not as good as before, he always felt tired, and his body couldn't bear to watch more stories.
But outside, he still concealed it all very well.
The emperor had a lot on his mind, wondering whether his sons had planted someone around him, so he looked at Xiao Changqi with sharp eyes, "Why do you ask that?"
Xiao Changqi hesitated and couldn't answer for a while.
What was he going to say?
To be honest, he knew that his father had not favored women for many days, so he felt extremely worried, and he concluded that his father must be unwell?
If he had told such a truth, let alone staying to supervise the country, he would probably be kicked out right now.
So Xiao Changqi could only open his eyes and tell lies, put up a smile and said, "I saw that my father looked very good, so I asked this question."
The princes nearby could no longer stand there as logs, and they all kept saying things like how the emperor looked young recently and was in excellent health.
The emperor glanced around the faces of his sons, knowing in his heart that these sons were all telling lies.
But even if it was a lie, he felt happy hearing it.
Looking at the other side, the prince had already walked away and did not want to stay and say a few words to him. The emperor's face darkened again.
Waiting for a few people to leave, Shou'an remembered what happened to the young eunuchs last night and had already reached the harem, so he hesitated to speak.
"I heard that Lin Guiren has made some new snacks recently. They are very delicious to eat in this weather. Even the Queen Mother likes them very much."
Lin Guiren did make a lot of snacks, and she was idle in the harem, but she did not send the snacks to the Queen Mother.
The emperor paused and looked at Shou'an meaningfully.
Shou'an quickly lowered his head, as quiet as a chicken.
"Then go to Lin Guiren's place and have a look."
Shou'an breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this time he made the right bet.
Lin Gui was born beautiful and had a good personality. The key was that he was self-aware and would not cause trouble everywhere.
There have been countless new concubines entering the palace in the past few years. No matter which concubine your Majesty favors, even if it is the only concubine he favors, His Majesty will never go to Lin Guiren less often.
When Lin Guiren learned that the emperor was coming, he couldn't help but be surprised.
But after being surprised, she quickly asked the palace servants to prepare meals, snacks, tea, etc.
She went outside to greet him, and after seeing the emperor greeting him, she stayed by his side and waited for the emperor to speak before she said anything.
The emperor finally entered the harem, and the news naturally spread to everyone in the harem.
When Wanmei learned about it, she was so angry that she almost strangled the handkerchief in her hand. When she saw her grandma coming with the eighth prince, she didn't have a good face.
She stretched out her hand, with armor on her fingers, and stabbed the eighth prince's chest, "Why are you so useless? Even your father doesn't come to see you."
The eighth prince was still young, and his eyes became red when his biological mother said this.
The grandmother beside her gritted her teeth and did not dare to say anything more.
Wanmei was restrained enough, and she was not willing to accept it, so after thinking about it, she let the Eighth Prince bask in the sun.
Within half an hour, the eighth prince fell to the ground.
Wan Meiren exclaimed and cried towards the door, "Go and ask your Majesty to come over quickly, the Eighth Prince has fainted."
The nuns who were serving the Eighth Prince looked at each other in confusion and wanted to remind him but had no chance.
The imperial doctor at the imperial hospital is not a fool. How can the prince not notice that he is dizzy from the sun?
If His Majesty finds out that Wanmei is using the prince to win favor and even harming the prince's body, I'm afraid the people who serve her will be in trouble.
The palace servants of Cuiwei Palace quickly divided into two groups, one went to find the emperor, and the other went to the imperial doctor.
The emperor was still at Lin Guiren's place. Lin Guiren personally mixed a glass of ice drink and handed it over, saying, "This is something new that I made. Your Majesty, try it."
The emperor took a sip and just as he was about to praise the taste, there was a noise at the door.
He frowned and looked at Lin Guiren.
I thought this was a matter on Lin Guiren's side.
Lin Guiren smiled and sent someone to the door, and soon learned what happened.
She looked at the emperor's dark face and said, "Your Majesty, please go and have a look. The Eighth Prince is still young."
The emperor shook his head and angrily scolded the Cuiwei palace attendant who was kneeling at the door, "If you are sick, why don't you go to the imperial doctor? Why do you come to me?"
"Am I an imperial physician? Can I cure the illness by taking a look at the Eighth Prince?"
Lin Guiren found it strange. After all, two years ago, His Majesty said that the Eighth Prince was Beixiao's lucky star.
In the blink of an eye, I gave it up.
It can be seen that the expectations in the hearts of the women in this palace are all in vain.
Your Majesty doesn't value his children that much, even when they are still children.
Shou'an rolled his eyes at the door and called two young eunuchs to follow him.
After about two sticks of incense, the emperor also finished his ice drink, talked to Lin Guiren, and walked out.
Shou'an looked at her carefully today. Lin Guiren was dressed beautifully. The green dress and pearl hair and face made her even more beautiful. She was not like an ordinary woman.
But His Majesty only spoke for a while and left without doing anything.
Shouan was puzzled because he had to tell the emperor about Cuiwei Palace on the way.
"The imperial doctor said that it was exposed to the sun, but it's nothing serious. It'll just take a few days to recover."
"Did it?" the emperor asked suspiciously.
Shou'an nodded and said nothing else.
The emperor thought about the reason, and his face became darker. He remembered the idea that he had said last time that he would give the eighth prince to other concubines to raise.
