I heard His Highness has supernatural powers
Chapter 16 The Queen's Visit
Xuanjing's victory over Yunguo's fierce general Longyu was like a huge boulder, which exploded a splash that should not be underestimated in the seemingly calm lake of the harem and court.Almost overnight, the opinion of Xuan Jing, the fifth son of the emperor, inside and outside the palace changed drastically.
Xuan Jing in the past was an unknown prince whom everyone ignored or even forgotten.In the harem, everyone can be bullied, and his status is even inferior to that of a slave.But now, he is the fifth son of the emperor who earned back face for Han and shocked everyone—Xuan Jing.
After Xuanjing defeated Longyu that night, although the crown prince, third prince and other princes tried their best to show their talents in front of the emperor, because of Xuanjing's stunning performance in front, the two seemed mediocre in comparison. .A banquet came to an end in the applause of different minds.
Not long after that, Xuan Jing waited in the cold palace for the edict sent by the emperor.He got his wish and moved out of the cold palace, and returned to the palace where the original owner lived when he was a child - Dawn Palace.
In the morning light of the night, the hall was brightly lit, and a group of eunuchs and court ladies kneeled respectfully in the hall, waiting for the new owner's order.
On the main seat, Xuan Jing was holding a teacup in one hand, and was savoring the tea newly bestowed by the emperor.Xiaoqiuzi tried her best to stand beside him with a straight face, fanning him.
The sweet and refreshing tea lingered between his lips and teeth, causing Xuan Jing to squint his eyes in enjoyment.He put down the teacup, and a pair of black eyes casually glanced at the people kneeling on the ground: "Let's introduce ourselves first."
"Yes." After everyone responded, they consciously introduced themselves according to the level of their positions in the palace, from high to low.
Xuan Jing listened quietly, without interrupting.After everyone was introduced, he waved his hand casually and said, "It's getting late tonight, you go down and rest first, and His Highness will summon you tomorrow if you have something to do."
The leading eunuch Xiao Chunzi heard the words, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, do you want Mei Xiang and Tao Xiang to stay and serve you?"
Mei Xiang and Tao Xiang are the first-class maids in charge of taking care of Xuan Jing's daily life.Logically speaking, he should stay to watch the night for Xuanjing.
Xuan Jing smiled and said: "No need, it's good that His Highness has Xiao Qiuzi to take care of her."
"Yes." Seeing what Xuan Jing said, Xiao Chunzi didn't say any more, bowed and led a group of people to retreat.
After only Xiao Qiuzi and Xuan Jing were left in the hall, Xiao Qiuzi's originally expressionless face immediately took off the disguise and became lively.
"Your Highness, woo woo woo, we are finally back." Xiao Qiuzi looked at Xuan Jing, tears welling up in his eyes in excitement.God knows how happy he was when he saw the emperor's decree for His Highness to return to the Dawn Palace.It has been ten years, they have been away from this palace for a full ten years, and they never thought that they would come back one day.
Xuan Jing smiled and stood up, with dark and incomprehensible emotions flickering in his black eyes: "This is just the beginning, we will get more in the future. And... after tonight, it may be difficult for us to return to the peaceful days in the past Yes. Xiaoqiuzi, are you afraid?"
Xiaoqiuzi was taken aback by the question, and then his eyes became firm.He said loudly: "Don't be afraid, as long as you can follow His Highness, Xiao Qiuzi will not be afraid of anything. Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Xiao Qiuzi will protect His Highness!"
Amused by Xiaoqiuzi's reaction, Xuan Jing shook his head with a chuckle, and turned his gaze to the night sky outside the window.A full moon hangs high there, and half of the moon is hidden behind dark clouds, making it look a little dim.
"Just kidding, you don't have to be so serious. I will protect my people. And I will not show mercy to those who want my life."
A good night's sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Jing had just changed into clothes and washed after being served by Xiao Qiuzi, when the eunuch's announcement came from outside the house: "Your Highness, the Empress Empress has arrived and is waiting in the hall."
Xuan Jing put the washcloth in his hand on the shelf beside him, and said indifferently: "Understood, you are so kind to take care of me, my highness will come later."
"Yes." The eunuch who notified took the order and obediently closed the door.
Seeing that the door was closed, Xiao Qiuzi who was waiting at the side dared to speak out: "Your Highness, this servant always feels that the empress is not kind to her."
No one knew the true colors of the Queen and the others better than Xiao Qiuzi.Ever since Xuanjing fell into the frozen lake in the winter when he was ten years old and no one cared about him, Xiaoqiuzi understood.In this harem, all the smiling faces and benevolent faces are fake.Especially the Empress, who was so kind to His Highness when the Imperial Concubine was still there, but after the death of the Imperial Concubine, she never spoke a word to His Highness again.
He will always remember how those gang of slaves chased him away when he knelt on the ground and cried and begged the empress to ask the imperial doctor to treat His Highness who was unconscious.
It was that night that His Highness was burned alive and turned into a fool.
Thinking of the past, Xiaoqiuzi still felt sad.
"Your intuition is good." Xuan Jing looked at the bronze mirror and straightened the lower part of his clothes and the hair crown, as if he didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Qiuzi was stunned: "Hey? Are you not nervous, Your Highness? That's the empress, the master of the harem. In case she wants to harm you, then we..."
Xuan Jing turned around, knocked Xiaoqiuzi on the head with a fan, and said with a smile: "I just praised you, and then I started to be stupid. If she wants to harm me, can we stop it? We can only stop it with soldiers, and cover it with water and earth." What's the use of being nervous?"
As he said that, without waiting for Xiaoqiuzi's reaction, he had already walked out of the room first: "Let's go, let's see what kind of trick our Empress is trying to play." As soon as the words fell, Xuan Jing's long legs had already walked a few meters away.
Seeing this, Xiaoqiuzi hurriedly chased after him, not forgetting to shout: "Wait for me, Your Highness!"
In the hall of the Dawn Hall, the queen sat on the main seat, and beside her stood a group of servants, including an imperial doctor with a medicine box.She sat quietly on the chair with her eyes lowered, as if waiting for someone quietly.No one knows what she is thinking right now.
"His Royal Highness is here."
Following the notification, a smile appeared on the queen's face, she got up and greeted her: "Jing'er, you are here, let me take a look."
"My son, please greet the queen mother."
After Xuanjing saluted politely, the queen held her arm.She squeezed the muscles on Xuan Jing's arms, and said worriedly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how did Jing'er become so thin? But what's wrong with him? At the banquet that day, I was very worried after seeing him, I didn't sleep well all night. Today I specially brought Royal Physician Wang here to check your pulse."
She naturally covered up the fact that Xuan Jing had regained his sanity, as if Xuan Jing had never been foolish.
Xiao Qiuzi beside Xuanjing let out a "bah" in his heart, it's hypocrisy!
Xuan Jing also sneered in his heart, a trace of understanding flashed across his eyes.But the face did not reveal half of it, but naturally showed distress and gratitude, which made Xiaoqiuzi's eyes widen.
He supported the empress with a sincere and caring tone: "Mother, it's all about the son's badness, which makes you worry. The son is in good health, so the mother doesn't have to worry too much."
The empress's body froze with the remorseful expression, and the corners of her mouth twitched invisibly. "The emperor has become so emaciated in just one month. How can I say that I am in good health? In the past, His Majesty ordered me to wait. I will do my best to my mother." With a few light words, all the neglect in the past was pushed onto the emperor.
Xuan Jing listened quietly, without saying a word.
After the queen finished speaking, she gave a look to Royal Physician Wang who was on standby.
Imperial Physician Wang knowingly walked to Xuan Jing's side, bowed and said: "Yes, Your Highness Fifth. Your Majesty also has a kind heart, and I will reassure you after the old man treats you well."
Xuan Jing raised his eyes and glanced at him, said: "If that's the case, I'll have to work." Saying this, he took the initiative to pull his sleeves away, and handed his arm in front of Royal Physician Wang.
"Your Highness is serious." Royal Physician Wang bowed again, put Xuan Jing's arm flat on the table, and felt his pulse.After a careful inspection, Doctor Wang frowned and shook his head again and again.
Seeing this, the queen asked in a timely manner: "But is there a problem?"
Doctor Wang withdrew his hand, and said with great pain: "Your Highness Fifth Highness has a strong internal fire, and his breath is out of control. It needs long-term treatment with medicine to recover. Otherwise, minor illnesses will continue, and if it is serious..." At this point, Doctor Wang bowed his head. Dare to say it again.But the expression on his face said it all.
The queen was shocked, and said anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and write a prescription for His Highness!"
"Yes." Royal Physician Wang repeatedly cupped his hands and took the medicine box to the inner room to write prescriptions.
During the whole process, Xuan Jing didn't say a word, his face was solemn.It's just that there is sarcasm and a bit of disdain for watching the show hidden deep in the black eyes.Seeing the queen looking over worriedly, he quickly adjusted his eyes and said nervously: "Queen mother, what should I do? I didn't expect my son's body to be so weak."
The worried look relieved the queen.She showed a motherly smile and comforted her: "Jing'er doesn't have to worry, your mother had the best relationship with me before she was alive. Since you are her son, you are also my son. Bengong will arrange everything and help you Take care of your body."
Xuan Jing said: "In this way, my son can rest assured."
The two looked at each other and smiled, each with their own ulterior motives, on the surface they seemed to be having a good time.
Doctor Wang quickly prescribed the medicine, and the queen took the prescription away, saying that in the future, she would personally brew the medicine for Xuanjing, and would send someone to deliver the medicine to the Hall of Dawn every day.Xuan Jing was moved to thank the queen again and again, and the queen accepted them one by one, exchanged a few more words of greeting and left.
Under the eaves of the outer hall of the Chenxi Hall, Xuan Jing and Xiao Qiuzi stood together and watched the Queen and his party leave.The luxurious formation quickly disappeared into the path not far away.
Xiao Qiuzi said a little sullenly: "Your Highness, do you really believe what the empress says?"
Xuan Jing shook his fan and said, "I don't believe a single word."
"Then...then you were acting just now?"
"Of course." Xuan Jing didn't deny it, "Before you don't have enough self-protection ability, you need to lower your stance and make false claims with the enemy, so that the opponent can relax their vigilance." He said, and hit Xiaoqiuzi's head with a fan head.
"Ouch!" Xiaoqiuzi yelled, clutching his forehead in pain.
Xuan Jing squinted at him and said, "You behaved too badly today. It's a big taboo to show your emotions in front of outsiders. Fortunately, she put all her attention on me, otherwise this scene would be in vain. You Today's lunch is gone."
"Ah?!" Xiao Qiuzi wailed suddenly with a bitter face, "Your Highness, the little one made a mistake, can you change the punishment?"
"Then even the dinner will be deducted." Xuan Jing's voice came coolly.
Xiaoqiuzi: "..."
