Zhao Jing walked slowly around Qi Rufeng before asking Dongfang Xi, "Why did Father Zhong bring everyone to the imperial study?" I do not know this kind of person. Quickly get him out of here so that you will not delay our conversation! "
Dongfang Wenming bowed. "Your Imperial Majesty, this is Honorable Qi Rufeng, the Assistant Minister for Public Administration. He is also the Eldest Young Master of the Tutor Manor."
"Oh, so he's from the Tutor Manor!" Zhao Jing was enlightened. "Do you know how to fight crickets?" Can you play chess? "And do you drink?"
"Wine is the death of poison. As the emperor, it is the model of the world. To actually drunkenly injure my father, are you not afraid of the public's disapproval? Is there any disgrace to my honor?"
Zhao Jing rubbed the grass at the corner of his mouth and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Who did I injure?" Your father? Tutor Qi? " She turned her head to look at the kneeling crowd in shock, "When did this happen? "How come I didn't know?"
"Your majesty!" Qi Rufeng was stunned. The emperor's act of playing the fool had come at the perfect time. Qi Rufeng was furious, but he really didn't know what to say at the moment.
"I like to drink, but I'm not drunk. How can I hurt someone when I'm drunk?" "Besides, no matter how drunk you are, you wouldn't dare hurt Honorable Tutor Qi!" In order to prove his innocence, Zhao Jing immediately shouted, "Men, bring me a few jars of wine!"
"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?" Zhao Yuannan panicked.
Zhao Jing said calmly, "Lord Qi does not believe that I am not drunk. He thinks that I am the one who got drunk and injured when Honored Tutor Qi was injured. Then I'll teach him how good my alcohol tolerance is! "I should also avoid spreading the word that I am the emperor who bullies his subject with the title of emperor!"
Dongfang Wenming finally understood it. The little girl had said those last four words very seriously! It just so happened that Qi Rufeng was an idiot, he might not be able to catch her implied meaning!
Offending from the bottom, his crimes should be swift!
Qi Rufeng was stunned, what was the Emperor trying to do? If these words were to be spread out, how would the people of the world talk about him? Forced the emperor to drink? Forcing the Emperor to admit his wrongs?
"Since ancient times, only the monarch would want his subject to die, so he had no choice but to die!" Dongfang Wenming leisurely walked to the side and leisurely sat down. "This king has never heard of the principle that if this subject wants to drink, then the king must get drunk!"
Qi Rufeng was at a loss for words. These two … The singing from this pair of reeds was really unstoppable! He was only an assistant minister and could not enter the imperial study without being summoned. That was why he entered along with Dongfang Wenming! Originally, Dongfang Wenming had wanted to personally witness him punishing the little Emperor, causing the latter to be thrown into disarray and giving them a lesson to save the Supreme Fu Mansion's reputation. However, who would have thought … He lifted a rock and threw it at his own foot!
Zhao Jing spat out the grass in his mouth as he looked at the sunset. "It's almost time for dinner anyway. Don't you think that I'm so lonely after entering the palace? That's why you came to accompany me?"
"This humble subject obeys the decree!" The people of the East did not express their respect.
Qi Rufeng was going to reject him, but Dongfang Cangming beat him to it. After hearing those words, Qi Rufeng fiercely cast a glance at Dongfang Wenming. However, he did not even raise his eyes and only treated him as transparent.
"Your majesty!" Qi Rufeng said, "This humble subject still has some matters to attend to, this humble subject will take his leave first!"
"Are we leaving now?" Zhao Jing seemed a little disappointed. "I wonder how is Tutor Qi doing now?" It is rare for Lord Qi to enter the palace, how can I let you leave empty-handed? "
Seeing that the guard had already brought the wine over, Zhao Jing immediately waved his hand. "Have First Young Master take this wine and wine back to the Supreme Fu Mansion! "Greetings to Tutor Qi for me, and I'll visit him myself when I have the time!"
With that, Zhao Jing picked up the cricket jar on the ground and stuffed it into Qi Rufeng's hands. "If the Imperial Tutor is too bored while recuperating, I'll let him play the cricket!" It's for the best that I can pass the time when I'm free. I've always done that! "
Qi Rufeng could neither accept it nor not accept it. He wanted to fly into a rage, but with the emperor's rewards, he wouldn't know how to appreciate a favor if he lost his temper again. He would just ignore His Majesty's good intentions! If word of this got out, he would be sentenced to a heinous crime! Or perhaps, the Tutor Qi's son was unable to do anything as he charged at the emperor!
Qi Rufeng broke his teeth and swallowed them into his stomach before bowing. "Thank you, your majesty!" However, the veins on his neck and the back of his hands were bulging!
Qi Rufeng gnashed his teeth in anger at the Li Palace. Dongfang Cangming leaned against a nearby rock, leisurely watching the show.
After the show ended, the audience dispersed. The Regent didn't blame the Emperor for playing with the cricket just now. It would be strange if the crowd didn't run away, but did they still want to live for too long?
"Father Zhong, what do you think of my treatment?" Zhao Jing walked up to him with a smile. As he stood with his hands behind his back, the corner of his lips slightly raised. At this moment, she seemed more like a child that needed praise.
Dongfang Wenming laughed lightly, as if he was scoffing disdainfully at him.
Zhao Jing straightened his body. "How did I do anything wrong?"
Letting out a long breath, Dongfang Wenming stood up and took her hand. Like a father, he showed a gentle expression on his face. He gently pulled down her sleeve and looked at her exposed wrist. His face darkened slightly.
"Your majesty is a ruler of the imperial family. Your skin and skin should be treated with great care." Dongfang Wenming slowly opened his mouth. "Aren't you afraid of freezing yourself?"
Her palms were so cold. Seeing the skin on her wrist turn blue from the cold, his expression turned even colder and colder. Her thick palm tightly wrapped around her cold and soft hand. The feeling of alternating hot and cold was not bad at all!
However, Zhao Jing didn't feel like his palm had already become callused from years of wielding a sword. His grip was cool and comfortable, but she was in pain. These two years of living like a prince and taking medicine had made her female characteristics more obvious. For example, this tender skin!
Dongfang Cunming led her into the royal study, and Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan closed the door. There were some things that shouldn't have been done by these people. The more they knew, the faster they would die, and the more people in the East would not have been able to tolerate them! All they could do was trust Zhao Jing!
After Dongfang Wenming brought him back to the Imperial Study, Zhao Jing seemed somewhat unhappy. He lowered his head to the side and half-pouted, his eyelids drooping.
"What is the emperor doing?" Dongfang Wenming smiled. "It's because you don't think you've had enough fun, but you can't enjoy it to your heart's content?"
Zhao Jing tilted his head and looked at him. "Don't you know best what I have done?" "However, getting drunk that time was indeed not my intention!" The more she spoke, the weaker her voice became. "This Emperor is greedy for wine. That's all!"
"What do you want to drink?" He was displeased.
"A single drunkenness is enough to clear a thousand worries!" Zhao Jing looked at him.
In his eyes, there was a cold light that she could not understand, "If that's the case, then why would there be a need for such a huge army? If all of them were to get drunk, wouldn't the world be at peace? As the ruler of a nation, the Emperor … "
"Alright!" Zhao Jing shouted, "I know that all of you feel that I have made a mistake. As the Emperor, I should be righteous and not do whatever I want!" But I am also a human, what else can I do if I were to hand the court over to you? Drinking wine and fighting crickets, you all feel that I am not a good emperor! If I were to manage that court, who knows how long I'd live? It's impossible to do anything, and it's courting death to do anything! "
Zhao Jing seemed really angry. He sat on the soft couch and turned his body to ignore him. "What exactly do you want me to do?" There was only one life left to him, whether he liked it or not! "Don't you dare offend me!"
It was as if at a certain age, a rebellious intent was born in his heart and he could not bear the lessons of others. This was especially true for the lessons of their seniors. That sort of warm tone was the most unbearable. In the eyes of a young man this age, all buddhist sincerity was nothing but idle chatter!
Dongfang Wenming remembered how similar he was back then! If he didn't listen to his father's advice, or to anyone else's advice, then he had to do what he wanted to do. It didn't matter who said what he wanted!
He narrowed his eyes at the bronze bell placed on Zhao Jing's desk, his expression somewhat gloomy. With a frown, Dongfang Wenming slowly walked up to Zhao Jing and paid his respects. "This subject has offended the Emperor. This humble subject knows his wrongs!"
Zhao Jing was startled. With a blank expression on his pale face, he said, "I am not blaming you!" I just... He was so stifled that he started to panic! "You all keep me in check, I'm not feeling well!"
Dongfang Xi's eyes darkened slightly as if he was thinking about something. "I ask for Your Majesty to agree to one matter!"
"What?" Zhao Jing asked.
"Before the situation in Jiangbei is resolved, I hope that the emperor will not go against the Qi family. If you can tolerate anything, do your best to tolerate it." He narrowed his eyes. "Your majesty should know that in the imperial court, Imperial Tutor Qi can call the wind and summon the rain. It's no good for anyone to go against him!"
Zhao Jing's expression changed. "He'll deal with you because of me?" She asked even though she knew the answer, but it was hard to tell from her innocent and innocent face that she was pretending. Her mother didn't leave anything behind for her, except that her eyes seemed to be blessed by the heavens.
"Your majesty!" Dongfang Wenming looked at her with a slight frown.
Zhao Jing didn't understand him, but he also didn't understand her! She was clearly a harmless girl, but sometimes he could still see a trace of unusual emotions from her bright eyes. But very soon, it would disappear into nothingness!
Zhao Jing had left Dongfang Wenming to have dinner with him. Although it was illogical, but … Dongfang Wenming was now a father in law, so there was nothing wrong with father and son having a meal together.
Dongfang Wenming had never tried such a lively dinner before. By his side, Princess Ling Yin was still chattering incessantly. No matter how much she listened, her ears would never be at peace!
Zhao Jing seemed to enjoy interacting with his children. His ancestor had always told him to eat in peace, but Zhao Jing had closed the door behind him, leaving behind Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge. He turned around and followed Ling Yin and chatted non-stop. Dongfang Wenming had never seen her like this before. It was as if she had endless words to say!
"Father!" Ling Yin laughed in her childish voice, "Sweet hawthorn, delicious!"
Zhao Jingtao said, "No, if you eat too much, your teeth will hurt!" Saying that, she opened her lips in all seriousness, "Royal father, look at your teeth, look, there's a little bug inside!"
Upon hearing the word 'little bug', Ling Yin immediately stared at her with teary eyes. "Imperial Father …"
"Yo yo, don't cry!" Zhao Jing bluffed her, "If you cry, this little bug will be scared and desperately drill into its teeth!" I can't cry! Hurry up and eat! If you eat until you're full, you will have the strength to kill that little bug! " "Let's have Cui Nanshan come over later and show him to the princess!"
Even though he was looking at the other party's teeth, he was actually looking at the other party's eyes.
Cui Nanshan's medical skills were not bad, but he was helpless when it came to injuring the root of the problem. Ling Yin's eyes had been wounded to the very core. It was not easy for her to see a blurry image even now! The only thing he could do now was to keep Ling Yin in this state and prevent her eyes from deteriorating.
Zhao Jing personally fed the child. Even Dongfang Wenming couldn't believe his patience. "Eat more, eat enough. Then let's let old man Cui see." Yin'er needs to eat the medicine obediently and sleep obediently, okay? "
The little girl was very obedient, but her interest today was not that high. "Royal father, Ling Yin misses mother!"
Zhao Jing's hand that was holding the jade scroll stopped in midair. Dongfang Wenming didn't say anything, but he looked her in the eye. Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes and sighed. With a bitter smile, he said, "Then Ling Yin will go find your mother tonight and return to your father's side tomorrow, okay?"
Ling Yin nodded repeatedly, smiling exceptionally sweetly.
After dinner, Ling Yin followed her wet nurse to Chu Yun Pavilion.
Zhao Jing sat on the steps leading to the imperial study, his eyes filled with confusion.
Dongfang Wenming was standing behind her. He was frowning slightly. She was about to pull a bush to the side until it was bald!
