Chapter 311: Long Joy and Forget Worry
Jiang Qingzhi got up late for the first time in his life.
He woke up at noon and felt a splitting headache. "Who hit me on the head?"
Huang Yaner ran in, covered her mouth and laughed, "Uncle, no one hit you."
"Then what's wrong... Hey!"
Some fragments of memory came back.
"My Lord, you drank and sang with Duke Cheng yesterday..." Huang Yan'er said, "The singing... I will take my leave first."
Listening to Huang Yan'er's giggling outside, Jiang Qingzhi wondered, "What song did I sing that she found so funny?"
Li Tian came in, "My husband was very powerful yesterday."
"What did I do?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"The songs my husband sang yesterday were so tear-jerking that Duke Cheng cried so hard that his followers were shocked."
"I sing?"
"What about the tears behind the iron doors and windows, and what about the steamed bread in my hands, and not a drop of oil in the dishes." Li Tian sighed: "Did my husband live so hard in Suzhou before? Ye is too much."
Damn it!
Jiang Qingzhi covered his head, "If I say that I was possessed by something else at that moment, can you believe me, ma'am?"
"letter!"
Li Tian took the cloth handed to her by Huang Yan'er and washed Jiang Qingzhi's face roughly without saying anything.
"This is my face, not my butt!" Jiang Qingzhi's voice was very weak under the cloth.
Li Tian stepped back a few steps and took a look. "It's clean now. By the way, what did my husband say... Let's fly together... Yan'er, what did my husband say?"
Huang Yan'er lowered her head, "My uncle said that he would take Duke Cheng with him to travel together no matter what he did."
I drop God!
I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!
Jiang Qingzhi fell heavily.
Someone is coming from the Duke's Mansion.
Brought the words of the beautiful woman.
"Madam said that she didn't know why we became sworn brothers for the second time, but since we are brothers, we should visit each other whenever we have time. Also, the Duke sang for half the night after he returned yesterday, and Madam didn't sleep all night, and she felt like she was in prison. Madam has sent someone south..."
"Why are you going south?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
The visitor said respectfully, "Madam said that songs can express one's aspirations. From the song, we can tell that Master had a very difficult time in those years. Master cannot take revenge on Ye's family, but Madam has no scruples."
What the hell!
Jiang Qingzhi was confused.
"Madam also said that among the songs the Duke sang last night, the one called "Conquer" was the best."
conquered by you like this……
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but humming out loud.
"Husband, this is a hangover remedy, drink it while it's hot!"
"Drink the poison you hid." Jiang Qingzhi was humming to this point.
I couldn't help but shiver.
It's really uncomfortable after drinking.
But it was heard that the old playboy started drinking again at noon.
"Drink a sip."
"no way!"
"My dear, this is the wine that can help you wake up." Li Tian said, "I asked my eldest brother and father to help them sober up faster after a hangover."
Jiang Qing had heard of this in his previous life, but now he felt like vomiting when he smelled the alcohol.
He reluctantly drank a glass of wine, and after a while, he really came back to life.
"Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Jiang Qingzhi had a hangover, so Li Tian came out to receive the visitor and came back happily later.
"After the Marquis's Mansion was confiscated, the palace sold off the Marquis's land and houses to recover our gambling debts. My husband, we have become rich."
"Really?" Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but feel happy, and immediately thought of the old playboy who gave up his gambling debts for him.
In the future, I really have to take Lao Zhu with me to show off and fly together.
Otherwise you will be violating your conscience.
The thought of Ma flashed through his mind, but quickly faded away.
A person's death goes through several stages.
The first stage is physical death, the second stage is being forgotten, and the third stage is when all traces of you in this world disappear...
Prince Yu just hoped that he could disappear right there.
He had always thought that he would be under house arrest for a long time, so he was prepared for a long battle.
This side hall was a place where people were imprisoned, and there was a hole for delivering food and using the toilet.
Under such conditions, no one could see Prince Yu.
The weather was extremely hot, so Prince Yu took off his clothes and practiced Eight Section Brocade wearing only his trousers... This was taught by his cousin. When the Taoist master saw it, he sneered and thought his teaching was nonsensical.
He just shook his head and tail to calm down his anger, his butt facing the palace door, leaning forward...
The palace door was pushed open.
"I don't know how hungry Third Brother is."
Zhu Shou'an felt very sympathetic towards her third brother's situation and specially brought a lot of delicious food.
When the door opened, Zhu Shoumei saw a butt.
"Third Brother!"
puff!
Prince Yu leaned forward, frightened by this, and fell to the ground immediately.
……
Although the Taoist priest did not meet Prince Yu, the subsequent rewards were jaw-dropping.
"A whisk, two volumes of Taoist books..."
The Taoist priest was serious about practicing Taoism, so his subjects were proud to receive the Taoist instruments he rewarded them with.
This was the first time that the prince received a Taoist weapon as a reward, and there were more to come.
"Your Majesty has ordered that each person in the palace be given a new piece of clothing and fifty coins."
When Xia Yan heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Does your majesty have money?"
As the former Prime Minister, no one knew the family background of Emperor Jiajing better than Xia Yan.
I have some money, but it's definitely not to the point of being extravagant and not taking money seriously.
Not to mention the new clothes, fifty coins per person. How many people are there in the entire palace?
Doesn't the Taoist feel sorry for him?
……
"This is for those people outside to see."
Prince Jing frowned as he listened to Concubine Lu complaining about how your father was too partial to Prince Yu.
"Why didn't I take you with me?" When it came to Prince Jing's affairs, Concubine Lu's reason would often run away from home.
"Isn't this a reward of scriptures for me?" King Jing felt that his mother was a little crazy.
"Where's the whisk?" Concubine Lu Jing wanted equality in everything. In history, the Taoist priest treated his two sons equally in everything. Judging from the treatment, it was impossible to tell who was older and who was younger.
"Also, your father rewarded Prince Yu with 20,000 coins. What a generous gesture!" Concubine Lu Jing swore that she was not angry, but could not help but poked her son again.
"Are you short of money?" King Jing asked.
"Of course it's not bad! Money is needed everywhere in the palace. Besides, I can't use the public money for your matter, right? I still have to pay for it myself. You...what is this?"
"Take this to Wang's cash box and you can exchange it for 20,000 strings of cash."
King Jing said calmly: "By the way, there is another ten thousand strings of cash, don't touch it, it is my private money."
"What? Thirty thousand strings of cash! Where did you get it?" Concubine Lu suddenly calmed down and said, "Tell me!"
"Last time they opened the market, didn't I ask you for some money? Together with my own, I bet a total of 6,000 guan, with a 50-to-1 odds, so I got 30,000 guan. That's right."
King Jing said, "Father has rewarded my third brother with 20,000 strings of cash. Have you figured it out?"
"What's that?" Concubine Lu looked at her son, suddenly feeling mixed emotions. "You've grown up, and you didn't even show any emotion when you received 30,000 taels of silver."
"Take your time to calculate. I have something else to do."
King Jing saw that his mother was in confusion, so he took the opportunity to slip away.
After an unknown amount of time, Concubine Lu suddenly covered her forehead and asked, "Did Prince Yu place any bets?"
"It's said... two thousand strings of cash."
One to five, ten thousand strings of cash... plus twenty thousand strings of cash, it's exactly thirty thousand strings of cash.
"Your Majesty really is...even!"
Concubine Lu Jing smiled bitterly, "It's all in your majesty's eyes."
……
"father!"
The Taoist priest is resting with his eyes closed.
Taoism emphasizes on restraining the mind, that is, restraining the spirit, energy and energy, and not letting the mind wander.
This is the best way to maintain health.
He opened his eyes and frowned as he looked at the eldest daughter of the emperor who was carrying a small bag outside the palace. "Shou'er."
"father!"
Zhu Shou'an carried the bag in with great effort. A eunuch wanted to go over to help, but the Taoist priest glanced at him and the eunuch quickly retreated.
The little girl put down the bag, rubbed her shoulders, and said with a sad face: "This thing is so heavy."
"What is it?" The Taoist's eyes were calm.
As an emperor, he had all the treasures in the world at his disposal, and having practiced Taoism for many years, he did not have high demands in life, so he could be said to have no material desires.
Zhu Shou'an opened the bundle and found some silver ingots inside.
Huang Jin's heart tightened. He looked at the eunuchs sternly and waved his hand.
Several eunuchs left quietly.
Dao Ye exclaimed, "Where did this come from?"
"Dad." Zhu Shou'an raised his head and said ostentatiously, "Last time they said someone was betting on my cousin to lose, so I gave money to my third brother to bet for me, and I won a lot, you see."
The Taoist looked at the silver ingots and said, "You really did win a lot, but what did you do with them?"
The Taoist priest only paid attention to the betting between the two princes and ignored the eldest princess.
"Last time I saw that my father was very frugal when eating, so I asked someone, and they said that my father was saving money. So I thought of giving it to my father to use..."
The little girl looked at her father eagerly.
The Taoist suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I will accept this filial piety."
Zhu Shou'an returned with a little pride and joy.
"Ask." The Taoist closed his eyes again.
Huang Jin came back later, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess doesn't have much money. Last time, she took her own gold and silver jewelry and melted them down... Prince Yu had someone pawn them to get money for the bet."
The Taoist priest held his chin with one hand and looked at the silver, as if he had a huge problem.
After an unknown amount of time, Dao Ye asked, "What do ordinary young ladies like?"
Huang Jin thought about it carefully, "I feel...I don't know either."
"Ask the people around Shou's side, and remember, don't make it public."
"Yes."
Huang Jin came back in the afternoon. "They said that when the eldest princess was suffering, someone heard her praying at night, saying that she hoped that God would give her a treasure that would make her forget her sorrows..."
"Forget your worries?"
Daoye nodded, "I understand."
……
In the early morning, Zhu Shoumin woke up slowly.
Several palace servants came in, changed their clothes, and washed up...
"The eldest princess has woken up."
Li Shu came in.
Zhu Shou'an hummed, still a little confused.
"I had a dream last night," she whispered. "I dreamed of my mother. She was happily pulling me along... and running, laughing as she ran."
"It seems there is some happy event!" Li Shu said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Zhu Shou'an yawned, "It would be nice if I could dream about mom every night."
"Does the eldest princess feel happy now?" Li Shu asked.
Zhu Shou'an was startled. "Happiness! I don't know either."
"Then how about... go out and take a look?"
"Ok!"
Zhu Shou'an stood up and walked out slowly.
In the morning light, rows of palace maids and eunuchs stood in front of the palace.
These people were silent, as if they had been standing there for a long time.
The leader turned out to be Huang Jin.
Then came the various eunuchs...
"They..." Zhu Shou'an was startled and was about to hide back, but was persuaded by Li Shu with a smile.
"What are you doing?" the little girl asked tremblingly.
Huang Jin saluted.
The eunuchs and palace maids behind him all bowed.
"This servant greets Princess Changle!"
Zhu Shou'an was at a loss, and Li Shu whispered, "Princess, His Majesty said that Changle...forgets worries!"
In the 28th year of the Jiajing reign, Emperor Jiajing conferred the title of Princess Changle on his eldest daughter Zhu Shou'an.
