I don't think I'll survive this year

Inside the Chengming Hall, Ji Huaizhi was summoning the Minister of Rites to discuss the year-end sacrifice, when Li Fu suddenly came hurriedly from outside and whispered something in Ji Huaizhi's ear.

Ji Huaizhi's complexion changed immediately, he looked up at the Minister of Rites, seeing this, the minister hurriedly found an excuse to leave without waiting for Ji Huaizhi to speak.

At this moment, Ji Huaizhi couldn't care less about the ability of these people to observe words and emotions. He raised his feet and walked towards the harem. While walking, he turned his head and said to Li Fu: "Didn't you feel better last night? Why is it getting hot again now?" ?” It was his eldest son, Ji Yaonian.

The child who was bought with his mother's life was not very healthy. He started to drink medicine from the time he could eat, and his health was so poor that he would be seriously ill every time the season changed.

However, after asking the question, he also knew that he was embarrassing. Li Fu was neither the First Prince's valet nor the imperial doctor who saw the doctor. It was obviously impossible to expect him to say something.

He waved his watch at Li Fu, indicating that he doesn't need to answer, and just rushed all the way to Yongkang Palace in silence. Ji Yaohua came much earlier than them, and at this moment he was coaxing her brother to drink medicine in a gentle voice.

The dough-like face of the child on the bed was flushed slightly, and his small facial features were wrinkled into a ball. Obviously he was very resistant to the soup in front of him. Ji Yaohua coaxed him left and right before he reached out to take the bowl and squeezed it. He sniffed and gulped it down, and immediately a candy was stuffed in his mouth.The expression on his face suddenly eased, and he smiled weakly at Ji Yaohua.

Ji Huai looked at the interaction between the siblings, warmed his heart, but couldn't help but feel a little sour... Although the eldest sister is like a mother, Ji Yaohua is still more than ten years old, and he is still a child.

"Father." Nian'er looked up and saw Ji Huaizhi's figure, and couldn't help calling out, with undisguised joy in his tone.

Ji Yaohua was not surprised when he heard his shout, he gently put the medicine bowl on the small table beside him, then turned around, saluted and said: "My son, please see Father."

Ji Huai looked directly at her steady and well-behaved appearance, and sighed again, before he could think about anything, he saw Nian'er who was lying on the bed struggling to get up, and followed suit.Ji Huai hurriedly took a step forward, and held the child down, "You're still sick, don't get up and make trouble."

Nian'er nodded obediently, and stared at Ji Huaizhi with wide eyes, for fear that he would disappear in a blink of an eye.Seeing this, Ji Huai couldn't help laughing, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and coaxed softly: "Go to sleep, father won't leave."

The palms of his hands were brushed by the long eyelashes a few times, and the child responded softly with a nasal voice, and he really closed his eyes, but his eyes rolled around, obviously not feeling sleepy yet.

Ji Huai raised his hand, leaned against the bed, and stared at him quietly.Not long after, I saw that the originally closed eyelids were slightly opened a crack, and when I saw Ji Huaizhi still guarding the side, I quickly closed them again, but the corners of my lips could not help but curl up... This went on and on several times, The child was also exhausted from tossing and breathing, and his breathing became even and long, apparently really falling asleep.

Only then did Ji Huaizhi and Ji Yaohua exit the bedroom lightly, leaving only a few palace attendants behind.

Once out of the palace gate, Ji Yaohua opened his mouth first and explained to Ji Huaizhi: "Father, don't worry too much, the imperial physician has already seen the doctor just now, and said it's nothing serious, take the medicine and sleep, and wait for the fever to subside. good."

Ji Huaizhi nodded, looked at the faint tiredness on her face, couldn't help but raised his hand to touch her head, and said warmly: "Yesterday I was tossing all night, you can go back and rest, there are many people guarding here , nothing can go wrong."

Ji Yaohua was obviously still a little worried, although he responded, but still unconsciously turned to look at the palace gate behind him, Ji Huai patted her on the shoulder and pushed her two steps away.Only then did Ji Yaohua leave the Yongkang Hall without turning his head.

……

Ji Huai was busy with things at the end of the year, Ji Huai should never be free for a moment, but thinking about his behavior before going to bed, Ji Huai didn't go to Chengming Palace until his heart softened, but turned around and stayed here The child's bedside.

The child woke up halfway, raised his head to confirm that Ji Huaizhi was still by his side, smiled subconsciously, and fell asleep again in a daze.

**********

On the second day, Yang Wentong saw the gloomy look between Ji Huaizhi's eyebrows, and guessed a little, "Yesterday, Lao Xu just entered the palace and was thrown out by you. Is Nian'er sick again?"

Ji Huaizhi nodded, forced a smile and said, "However, it's much better now." Having said that, the worry on his face did not diminish.

Yang Wentong understood that the child had a serious illness every three days and a minor illness every two days.

He raised his hand and patted Ji Huaizhi's shoulder, persuading him: "When he gets better, you should at least let him move around more, he will be bored in the hall all day long, even if he is not sick, he will get sick."

Ji Huai was stunned, "...that makes sense." He was also concerned about it, but it was really useless for the child to lie on the bed all day long.

After Yang Wentong saw that he had answered, he was in a daze again, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand and shaking it in front of his eyes, saying, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, when he gets older, should I find him a martial arts master..." Before he finished speaking, Yang Wentong coughed, puffed out his chest, and looked like a peacock spreading his tail .

It's been a long time since I haven't seen him like this, but I miss him a little bit, Ji Huai couldn't help but sneered, squinting at him, "Just you?"

Yang Wentong didn't seem to understand the ridicule in his words, he nodded solemnly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Stop doing this with me, I haven't said anything yet..." The two laughed and quarreled, and the gloomy look on Ji Huaizhi's face disappeared, and the matter was settled like a joke.

**********

The New Year's Eve was lively and lively, and after so long, Ji Huaizhi was still a little lazy and unmotivated when the seal was re-opened, but this laziness was soon given away by a booklet. To break—seek to establish a prince.

After reading only a few words at the beginning of the article, Ji Huaizhi sat up straight subconsciously, paused for a moment with the ink pen he was carrying, and went to read the signature of this booklet. Unexpectedly, the name was very strange, not anyone he had expected. one.

However, he immediately understood a little bit, this is to let the little pawns come to test their words first.

Since Ji Yaohua was six years old, Ji Huaizhi has always brought this child by his side. When dealing with the affairs of state, he has never shy away from it, and even has a lot of pointers; Coupled with the unusual appointment of female officials...

None of the senior officials in the court is a human being, and they all know Ji Huaizhi's actions. Although they don't express it explicitly, it is also a tacit attitude.

However, since the first prince was born, some people's attitudes have gradually become more subtle. Ji Huaizhi knew in his heart that no matter how well Ji Yaohua did, as long as she was a girl, there would always be people who would be dissatisfied.They had no choice before, but now that they have a prince, it is not surprising that their positions have wavered.

Being cautious enough to get someone to test it first, doesn't it mean that my actions over the years have not been in vain?

Ji Huaizhi thought optimistically for a while before writing.

——Naturally, it was rejected, and the reason had already been thought out: "The prince is still young."

His movements of writing were smooth and unhurried, as if he hadn't been touched by the contents of the notebook, but the furrowed brows faintly revealed the waves in his heart.

The tip of the pen was raised again, Ji Huaizhi still couldn't help but glance to the side, Ji Yaohua was sitting there with her head down writing something, she seemed to be aware of the gaze falling over her, she lifted the pen and looked up.

Seeing the confusion on her face, Ji Huaizhi couldn't help softening his expression, and asked: "Tomorrow...how about going to court with Emperor Father?"

Ji Yaohua was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the table in front of Ji Huaizhi, after his eyes settled down, he realized that this move was inappropriate, so he hurriedly retracted it, and said, "...Yes."

Back then, the kid was still careless, reading from the booklet on his desk, but now...

Ji Huai couldn't bear it and walked over, raised his hand and rubbed her head a few times, under Ji Yaohua's astonished and puzzled eyes, sighed softly: "Don't think too much, Father will always protect you."

Ji Yaohua froze for a while, and when Ji Huaizhi was about to stop, he didn't realize it. Like a few years ago, he gently rubbed the hand that was still on her head, and replied in a low voice: "En."

**********

On the second day, as soon as he came to the court, it was the will of Ji Yaohua to be the princess of Zhenguo.

After Ji Yaohua stepped forward to accept the decree to thank him, although everyone in the hall was concerned about the occasion and did not dare to whisper, their eyes began to fly wildly, falling on Ji Yaohua's clothes from time to time——

It doesn't have any kind of pattern that girls like nowadays, but... a four-clawed python pattern, which is only one claw less than the five-clawed golden dragon.

——This is clearly the decoration used by the crown prince.

Although everyone had already realized that, when Ji Yaohua really wore this body, even Chen Changsi, who knew the matter best, couldn't help being shocked, let alone the rest of the people.

The impact was so great that after the next court, everyone was still in a trance for a few days, and the news that His Majesty wanted the princess to succeed spread throughout the court and the public.

……

Naturally, some people objected.

But Ji Huai has been in charge of the government for so long, and he is no longer the powerless young emperor. If he decides to do something, there are really few people who can stop him.

What's more, he is indeed firm in the matter of heirs, leaving no room for slowing down: he doesn't want any drama of "sibling rivalry" to arise in the future because of his momentary soft-heartedness.

— Agree, or leave.

After several officials were dismissed one after another, no matter how dull the people were, they also understood the meaning of the present. Although there was an undercurrent surging upward, there was no opposition on the surface.
