spend time

An hour later, Doctor Ji also came.

After half a day's work of pulse diagnosis and acupuncture, the young man lying on the bed didn't react at all. Mrs. An Guogong quietly had red eyes, turned her head to the side and wiped away tears.

An Guogong, who rushed back from the Ministry of War, looked extremely solemn.

The Zheng family has prosperous heirs, with more than twenty sons and daughters in this generation. He also had no shortage of sons. He had four sons from concubines, but only one legitimate son.

Zheng Chen was unparalleled in both civil and military intelligence. He was the most outstanding son of the Zheng family. He grew up in the palace and was as close as brothers to the prince. He was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Zheng and Emperor Taikang.

Whether it was because of his father's love for his son or his concern for the health of the family heir, An Guogong was in a heavy mood at this time.

The prince said warmly: "Let Doctor Ji stay and return to the palace when Zi Xian wakes up."

Doctor Ji is a master of Xinglin and the best in the Imperial Hospital.

Duke An Guo burst into tears of gratitude and hurriedly handed over his hand to thank him.

Princess Jiang Baohua whispered to comfort Mrs. An Guogong.

Jiang Yuehua, the head of Dongping County, and Jiang Guanhua, the head of Huaiyang County, did not want to steal the princess's limelight, so they stood aside silently, glancing at the sleepy Zheng Chen from time to time.

Everyone in the Jiang family has good looks, Jiang Baohua is beautiful and gentle, Jiang Yuehua is tall and charming, and Jiang Guanhua is delicate and pretty.

Everyone stayed in Zheng's Mansion for two hours, declined the dinner, and returned to the palace together.

When Empress Dowager Zheng found out about this, she was very worried and sent Eunuch Zhao to the Duke Anguo's Mansion with half a cart of supplements.

Two days later, Mrs. An Guogong entered Jingyang Palace with red and swollen eyes.

"...Zixian didn't wake up, and he had a high fever for two days." Mrs. An Guogong burst into tears and kept choking: "Mr. Ji tried her best to get his fever to go down. But he still didn't open his eyes. wake up."

"I am entering the palace to beg your empress to allow Dr. Ji to stay in Duke Anguo's residence for a longer period of time."

Children are difficult to raise. Babies and children died in infancy. Even when they were in their teens, it was not uncommon for them to die due to a cold. Her son suddenly suffered from an emergency, and Mrs. An Guogong had not slept for two days and two nights.

Empress Dowager Zheng let out a long sigh: "The Ai family has had trouble sleeping and eating these past two days. They only hope that heaven will show mercy and that Zi Xian can open his eyes soon."

"Mr. Ji will stay in the Zheng Mansion. Zi Xian will come back to the palace when he wakes up. Don't worry too much and get angry. Maybe if you go back from the palace, Zi Xian will survive this disaster."

Mrs. An Guogong wiped her tears, thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness, and hurried back to her residence to stay by her son's bedside.

There was a lot of excitement in the court because of the new-style plow presented by Princess Nanyang. Empress Dowager Zheng also became famous because of this incident. The Queen Mother's Party and the Prime Minister's Party took advantage of this incident to see a breakup. The Ministry of Industry urgently built a new type of plow according to the drawings. , naturally it is indispensable to reward the officials of the Nanyang Palace.

Mrs. Anguo doesn't care at all.

She just hoped that her son would open his eyes and wake up.

Fortunately, after Zheng Chen's fever subsided, he was able to take the medicine and forcefully feed him some rice soup.

The various rooms in Duke Anguo's mansion came to visit the patient in turn. On their faces, they all showed concern, but in fact, they had their own plans in mind. An Guogong's four concubines of different ages were also very active and came to visit the sick every day.

Mrs. An Guogong gritted her teeth and secretly resented it.

This morning, the young father-in-law, who had been sleeping for six days suddenly without warning, opened his eyes.

Mrs. An Guogong was so surprised that she burst into tears: "Zixian, you finally woke up. You have been sleeping for six days, and if you don't wake up, my mother will follow you."

The men, women, and children surrounding the bed all rushed to speak: "Zixian, you finally woke up."

"You have been sleeping for six days, and we have been worried for six days, lest something happen to you. Now that you have finally opened your eyes, we can all feel relieved." "Ninth brother, it's great that you are awake..."

"Brother Ninth..."

Waves of sound surged into my ears like a tidal wave.

The handsome boy with a pale face struggled to gather his scattered eyes and slowly saw everyone's faces clearly. His body under the quilt trembled again and again.

In just a short moment, countless chaotic scenes came to mind.

Thousands of words are stuck in my throat, unable to be swallowed or spit out. My eyes were sore, and the warm liquid surged up, but I had to hold it back before it overflowed my eyes.

After a long time, the boy managed to say: "I'm hungry."

……

Two days later, Mr. Zheng, who had recovered, entered the palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Zheng.

Empress Dowager Zheng held her grandnephew's hand, looked up and down, and said with relaxed eyebrows: "Okay, okay, you are in high spirits now and your face is rosy. The Ai family can finally let go."

Zheng Chen looked at the concerned Empress Dowager Zheng with extremely complicated emotions. He didn't reveal anything on his face and said with a smile: "My grandnephew is unfilial and fell ill for no apparent reason, which made the Empress Dowager worried."

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and said, "It's not like you deliberately wanted to get sick, so you are being unfilial. The Ai family is worried about everything. If you are well, the Ai family will be at ease."

Zheng Chen looked touched and admired: "My aunt loves me so much, I will definitely be filial to my aunt in the future."

Queen Mother Zheng was coaxed to smile.

Zheng Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to smile casually: "By the way, Eunuch Zhao returned to Beijing eight days ago, and cousin Shaohua also entered the palace with him! I heard my aunt mention it a few times, but I haven't seen her yet. ."

Empress Dowager Zheng said casually: "She is a stubborn girl. Unless the King of Nanyang asks her to give her a dream, she will stay in Nanyang County and refuse to enter the palace. The Ai family will just follow her."

Zheng Chen: "..."

Zheng Chen's whole body was shaken, astonishment and disbelief flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what he thought of, but ecstasy flashed through his eyes again, and his voice was trembling: "In the palace, the Queen Mother is teaching me, the princess and the two county heads are accompanying me, and there are The learned master, the piano master, and the embroiderer are all the best in Daliang. Even if they want to practice martial arts, there are many masters in the palace. Cousin Shaohua is alone in Nanyang County, so it is best to bring her into the palace as soon as possible. "

These words touched the heart of Empress Dowager Zheng.

She did have some calculations and selfishness in taking Jiang Shaohua into the palace, but she also truly considered Jiang Shaohua.

His mother died young and his grandfather also passed away, leaving only his biological father Lu Xuan who had married into a new wife. How can a girl of this age do without any serious elders around her? In a few years, when I get my haircut, where can I go to find a suitable husband?

Empress Dowager Zheng sighed: "She doesn't want to enter the palace for the time being, and the Ai family won't be able to force her. After a year and a half, the Ai family will send someone to pick her up."

A year and a half is too long.

He simply couldn't wait.

She didn't want to come to the capital, so he went to Nanyang County to see her.

This sentence rolled on the tip of his tongue and was swallowed by Zheng Chen.

He and she have "never met" and have nothing to do with each other in the eyes of everyone. What reason does he have to travel thousands of miles to find her?

"The Queen Mother," Eunuch Zhao, who brought back a new type of shaft plow and made a great contribution to regaining his position as the most popular person in Jingyang Palace, walked in quickly, holding a thick envelope in his hand:

"Princess Nanyang has people working hard day and night to deliver a letter for the Queen Mother to read."
