This was not friendly at all to the Queen Mother who had finally fallen asleep at the hour of Mao!

However, the Queen Mother had to get up reluctantly.

She stretched her old arms and legs, and with the help of Zhuxi, she put on her clothes, washed up, and adjusted her mental state. She also put some powder on her face to replenish her complexion and put some lip balm on her lips before going to the main hall.

——The Queen Mother was an exquisite person when she was young, and she remained decent even when she was old.

When Yinzhen saw the elegantly dressed old lady coming out, he didn't hesitate. He half-knelt down, one hand on his knee, the other hand clenched into a fist and said with a slight bow: "Your son greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

The Queen Mother maintained her composure, but getting up early still made her feel uncomfortable. She coughed and said, "The ground is cold and damp. Your Majesty, please get up and sit down."

The audition season is chosen in autumn. In winter, it snows heavily in the Forbidden City, so the weather is relatively cold at dawn in autumn.

The empress dowager coughed once and didn't stop, and she coughed several times in succession. Zhuxi hurriedly brought the empress dowager hot tea. The empress dowager took the hot tea and took a sip. After drinking the hot tea, her cough finally eased.

"Has the Empress Dowager caught a cold?" After Yinzhen sat down, he also took a sip of the hot tea and said with a hint of concern, "The Empress Dowager, please take care of yourself."

The Queen Mother thought to herself, "Don't stand here waiting to see me. I'm sure I'm in good health."

But can you say this to the emperor? Definitely not.

The Queen Mother forced a kind smile and said, "It's nothing, just a common cough. I'm in good health. But Your Majesty, please don't overwork yourself when handling memorials. You need to rest properly."

Whenever the Queen Mother seemed to be doing a good job on the surface, she would say something that would displease the original owner.

Su Peisheng stood curled up behind the emperor, listening to the empress dowager's words, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly. The emperor had really known how to rest well these past two days, and the empress dowager didn't need to remind him at all.

Yinzhen looked at her quietly: "Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager. I understand."

After laying the groundwork for a few sentences, the Queen Mother got to the point, holding a teacup, and said, "Your Majesty, autumn has arrived. I wonder if the Fourteenth Prince has any autumn clothes to wear at the Imperial Mausoleum..."

Yinzhen: "I will definitely not treat Fourteenth unfairly in this regard."

"Your Majesty, I have made some clothes. Could you send someone to deliver them to the Fourteenth Prince? He is all alone in the imperial mausoleum..." The empress dowager was delighted to see that the emperor did not seem angry, and she quickly climbed up the pole and became more and more demanding.

"Why don't you care about me?" Yinzhen asked.

The Queen Mother was somewhat displeased when she heard this. Didn’t she care about the Emperor enough?

She would ask about the emperor's well-being every once in a while, and thought she was doing her best to be a loving mother. She felt sorry for the fourteenth prince who was guarding the imperial tomb alone, so she cared more about him. It was definitely not because she was biased.

"The Emperor's clothes are naturally made by the Imperial Household Department. Why do I need to make them? My craftsmanship is average. I'd better not scratch the Emperor's body." The Empress Dowager was unhappy, and her outward kindness disappeared. Her words were a little sarcastic.

Yinzhen waved his hand and stood up to leave: "I am going to attend court. If the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, please continue to sleep. I will not disturb you."

The emperor had a sullen face and looked angry no matter how you looked at him. The empress dowager was also stunned by him. She suddenly came to her senses and realized that he was now the Son of Heaven, not the bald prince who followed her around and longed for his mother's love.

The empress dowager was a little annoyed with her attitude. The atmosphere had finally eased a little. She should strike while the iron was hot and show more concern for the emperor. Who knows, maybe the emperor would agree to let her send clothes to the fourteenth prince?

Su Peisheng didn't dare to breathe, and followed the emperor carefully, bending his waist even lower.

The young eunuchs accompanying the emperor were even more frightened, fearing that the emperor would notice them, and there was a sense of stealth in the team...

Everyone speculated that Yinzhen was angry with the empress dowager. When he left the main hall, the slight anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of calmness.

He is not the original owner, so of course he would not be sad because the Queen Mother does not love him. He just wants to act, and his performance just now was just acting.

It’s really interesting to experience the plot and setting of the characters in the play firsthand. He likes it, hahahaha.

Yinzhen, who had indulged himself in drama early in the morning, was in a good mood because of getting up early. He let the empress dowager regret it and walked happily towards Qianqing Gate to prepare for court.

The time in court was very boring. He just sat on the dragon throne and listened to the discussions of the ministers. He occasionally agreed with a few words. Because the Qing Dynasty was now under the rule of the royal family, the ordinary people were suppressed and numbed, so generally no major problems would occur.

Yinzhen had already changed the system once before. This time, after traveling through time and becoming the emperor himself, he could naturally change it as well, but he was not in a hurry.

Changing the system is not something that can be done overnight. He needs to plan slowly, at least until his daughters are born.

For now, he would follow the original system, attend court on time every day, handle memorials diligently, and at the same time plan to rescue his thirteenth and fourteenth brothers to share the burden with him.

Yinzhen sent someone to check on his thirteenth brother.

The thirteenth brother did not have a strong presence in the original owner's memory, but it was remembered that the child had not been in good health. He needed to be checked and treated early, and he must be alive and well so that he could work for Yinzhen.

As for the fourteenth brother, he was still alive after the original owner died. He persisted until the new emperor took office and released him from the imperial mausoleum. I think he must be in good health. I will just leave him alone for now and check on him when he comes back from the imperial mausoleum.

When Imperial Physician Zhang received the order to examine the Thirteenth Prince, he was shocked.

He had a long career in the Imperial Hospital and had served the previous emperor for many years. He did not resign even when the new emperor took office and was still on duty in the Imperial Hospital. He was very familiar with some secret histories of the imperial palace.

For example, the Thirteenth Prince. When the nine princes competed for the throne, the Thirteenth Prince did not participate much, but he was once one of the late emperor's favorite princes. Later, the crown prince fell, and the Thirteenth Prince gradually fell out of favor.

After he fell out of favor, he faded out of the fight for the throne and just stayed in his mansion every day.

After the current emperor ascended the throne, perhaps out of jealousy of the Thirteenth Prince's favor, or perhaps out of resentment for not supporting him, he was very unfriendly to the Thirteenth Prince. Not only did he place him under house arrest, he didn't even give him the title of prince. The Thirteenth Prince is still a bald prince.

It was heard that the Thirteenth Prince had a fever several times and was in very poor health. The steward of the Thirteenth Prince's mansion tried every means to seek help from the Emperor, wanting a royal physician to see him, but was ignored.

Now that the sun has risen from the west, it is time for the cold-blooded emperor to take the initiative to ask the imperial physician to examine the Thirteenth Prince.

Not only was Doctor Zhang shocked, but the Thirteenth Prince's steward was even more surprised when he heard that a doctor was coming to visit him early in the morning.

"Doctor Zhang, why are you here?" The chief steward knew Doctor Zhang. Doctor Zhang had treated the Thirteenth Master before.

Unfortunately, if the emperor does not allow it, the imperial physician is not allowed to treat patients privately, otherwise the steward would not have come to the emperor for help.
