The sun was shining and the spring was still the same.
Shang Yiqing picked up the clothes one by one and put them on. She looked at Fang Zinan, who was still sleeping soundly, with a smile that was not a smile on her face. Then she pulled up her hair, exposing her long, even neck, and stretched out the window. Her long and slender neck still had some hair left on it. Under the light of the rising sun, it became a golden soft thread that made her appear exceptionally beautiful. It was as if her neck was covered in a layer of golden powder.
Then Fang Zinan also woke up. He reached out his hand to grab and found that the person beside the pillow was nowhere to be seen. In his heart, the person beside his bed had long ago been the source of his happiness. He was shocked and immediately tensed up. Luckily, Shang Yiqing was right in front of him, staring at him with childish mischievous eyes.
"Qing Er, you're up so early?" Fang Zinan felt a warm feeling in his heart. When she wasn't angry, she was really cute.
"Look at you," Shang Yiqing said coquettishly, "Why aren't you getting up?"
Fang Zinan smiled and sat up straight. "What are you making me wake up so early for?"
"Last night, the emperor fell ill. Shouldn't we go to the palace early to see him?" Shang Yiqing had already made up her mind that she would visit the palace early this morning.
Fang Zinan pulled her into his arms and said in a gratified tone, "I knew you were talking about this …" However … It's still early... "Why don't we lie down for a while longer …" As he spoke, he hugged Shang Yiqing's waist.
Shang Yiqing slapped him, and a pained smile appeared on his face. Shang Yiqing pretended to be angry, "What time is it? Why aren't you getting up?"
Fang Zinan stuck out his tongue, "You're too fierce. Don't tell me you want to kill your husband?"
Shang Yiqing pretended to be vicious as she raised her fist at him, "If you don't get up, I'll beat you up!"
Fang Zinan couldn't hold himself back anymore and went over to hold Shang Yiqing, shaking her shoulders. "Good wangfei, this husband is so scared …"
Shang Yiqing felt the hairs on his body stand on end. If a man were to act so coquettishly, not only would he not know whether to laugh or cry, he would also feel his skin tingling. She could not help but pinch his face as she roared, "Get up!"
Fang Zinan shouted again and again in an exaggerated manner: "As you command! "As you command!"
By the time the two of them had made up their minds to come to the Imperial Palace, they saw that King Ding and his wife, King Xuan and his wife, had already arrived. His Majesty had just woken up and hadn't woken up yet.
"Nephew greets the Emperor."
"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty."
Fang Zinan and Shang Guiqing bowed to the emperor and then went up to visit.
"I'm fine, why are all of you here?" The Emperor looked much better than he had the night before, but he was still weak and weak.
"My nephew is here to visit since he knows that the emperor is ill." As he spoke, King Ding had a smile plastered on his face.
"Sorry for the trouble." Taking the cup of tea from the princess consort, the emperor took a sip. "All of you are good enough to know to come visit me."
"My nephew knows that the emperor is ill and has been too anxious to sleep well all night. It's really reassuring to see that the emperor is fine." As King Ding spoke, the servant stood by the Emperor's side.
"Nephew knows that the Emperor has always worked hard on national affairs, so today he specially brought the Emperor good news." King Xuan stepped forward and calmly said, "The Emperor has sent his nephew to manage the river. My nephew found that the work on the river last year could still be used. All they had to do was send someone to clear it up. This way, not only can we save money, but we can also save manpower. "
"Duke Xuan, why have you come as well? Aren't you managing the rivers at the Nanjiang River? " Although he had heard the good news that King Xuan had brought, the Emperor was still somewhat surprised to see him appear before him.
Princess Xuan glanced at her husband before shifting her gaze to the emperor. "King Xuan knew last night that the emperor was ill. He returned from the Southern River overnight and still hasn't taken a breath yet …"
Although he was happy to hear the good news that King Xuan brought, it was not a good thing to let him manage the river and leave without permission. The emperor said earnestly, "I am truly touched by King Xuan's filial piety. However, we can't let our guard down while the river is being controlled. There are no major injuries to my body, and King Xuan still needs to return to the Southern River immediately. "
"Your majesty has taught me a lesson. My nephew had intended to leave after seeing the emperor." As King Xuan spoke to here, he looked at his two brothers with a proud smile on his face. "Nephew will take his leave now. Let the wangfei stay behind and take care of the emperor. " As he spoke, he stood up and took his leave.
The Emperor nodded slightly, and King Xuan stood up to leave.
Prince Ning turned back to look at Fang Zinan and spoke in a mocking tone, "I heard that Prince Rong accompanied Imperial Physician Shang to the palace last night to visit the emperor. It seems that Prince Rong is a very meticulous man."
"It's just a coincidence. Actually, we brothers are all concerned about the emperor's safety." Fang Zinan said lightly, as if he didn't hear King Ding's sneer.
The emperor was rather satisfied with these words. He nodded. "Prince Rong is right. I am truly happy to see you two and your brothers in harmony."
"Your majesty, once you're in a good mood, your sickness will be gone." Shang Yiqing didn't expect the two princes to arrive so early either. It looked like news of the two princes had arrived so quickly.
At this moment, a eunuch called out, "Esteemed Empress has come."
Everyone stood up to pay their respects to the empress. "Welcome, esteemed empress."
"You all came to visit the emperor so early in the morning." Empress Chen's tone was kind, her face full of kindness.
"When chenqie heard that His Majesty was sick, she really couldn't feel at ease." As she spoke, she stepped forward to support Empress Chen.
Shang Yiqing sighed in her heart. She was the one who didn't know how to flatter. She really regretted coming here when she saw the two consorts being so attentive. If she had known that everyone was here, she wouldn't have come here.
Of course, Fang Zinan understood her thoughts. He smiled and held Shang Yiqing's hand. The previous night's happiness was still fresh in his mind. Even when he thought about it, he still felt that it was very sweet.
When Empress Chen saw the two of them holding hands, she naturally liked it. She smiled at the emperor. "Look at the two of them, how nice they are and how filial they are. This empress likes little couples like them."
"The Empress must be joking." Shang Yiqing felt a bit embarrassed, and quietly broke free from Fang Zinan's grasp. She did not expect Fang Zinan to hold her tighter, and did not plan to let go at all.
A trace of displeasure appeared on King Ding's face. He glanced at Fang Zinan, "It seems that Prince Rong and Princess Hua-Yang have come to an agreement. Congratulations!"
Her words made Shang Yiqing feel unhappy, because the last time King Ding saw Prince Xuan and Fang Zinan fight, he did not stop them. This made her feel depressed, and she replied with a sneer: "Of course, the relationship between Prince Rong and concubine will not change for any external reasons. "Some people like the Taoist way to argue with others. It seems like they will have to disappoint some people."
Prince Ding blushed and glared at Shang Yiqing without saying a word.
