Chapter 26: Do your job, hahahahaha

After Gu Qingheng left, Zhao Mingzhu felt much more relaxed. She waved her hand and asked Qiao'er to go and make some fried shrimp.

Qiao'er naturally obeyed all her requests.

"My Lady, you are ill. Wouldn't it be bad for your health to eat such greasy food?"

Jinzhu came in with a plate of pears and said worriedly after hearing the name of the dish.

"No, if you're sick, you have to eat something strong to treat it, so that your body knows who's in charge."

Zhao Mingzhu picked up the silver fork and took a bite of the pear. It was juicy and had a fragrant smell.

After hearing this, Jinzhu was puzzled. If there was such a saying, why had she never heard of it?

"By the way, I heard some rumors that Miss Yun Shuang might become a concubine in the palace. She is very attentive to His Highness."

Jinzhu looked at her expression as she spoke, and seeing that she still didn't care, she sighed. It seemed that what the Crown Princess had said before was not false, and she really didn't care about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhao Mingzhu was eating a pear, and Gu Qingheng had better favor Yun Shuang quickly and not focus his attention on her.

At least she can eat one more bowl of rice...

At this time, a fragrant and oily smell came, and Zhao Mingzhu's eyes lit up. The fried shrimps were here.

She sat down at the eight-immortals table, and Qiaoer brought the dishes over.

There are also assorted vegetable stewed with mushrooms, fish ball soup, sunflower with snow plum, cold-mixed shredded vegetables, crab meat tofu, and eight-treasure duck soup.

Qiaoer, you are my God!

Zhao Mingzhu couldn't wait to pick up a golden and crispy shrimp. It made a crunching sound and filled her mouth with fragrance.

Push the porridge out!

Qiao'er was quite proud to see that she liked it, because she knew that her young lady liked it.

But it seemed that God couldn't bear to see her having a good life, and she had another affair.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Mingzhu: “…”

The next second she jumped up, her mind full of thoughts of running back to bed, and then she smelled the fragrance filling the room, and her head suddenly felt dizzy.

Is it possible that Gu Qingheng is as easy to deceive as Qiao'er and the others?

Of course... no.

After Gu Qingheng stepped in, he heard the sound of footsteps dragging a chair inside, which disappeared after he entered.

Inside the room, Zhao Mingzhu leaned on the beauty couch by the window and said to Jinzhu and Qiao'er who were sitting at the Eight Immortals Table:

"Ahem, eat more... Although I don't have much of an appetite, I like watching you eat."

Turn down the volume of the world and listen to the sound of someone breaking through defenses...

"Director Zhang, please ask the Crown Princess to see if she needs any medicine." Gu Qingheng turned to the imperial physician following behind him and said.

Qiao'er and Jinzhu looked at each other. This judge was only at the disposal of His Majesty.

Zhao Mingzhu said tactfully, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? There's really no need for the judge to go there in person."

Upon hearing this, Judge Zhang, holding up his medicine box, said respectfully, "Your Majesty's health is of paramount importance. Treating patients is my humble duty."

Zhao Mingzhu could only stretch out her hand and let him take her pulse.

Zhang Yuanpan concentrated and switched his left and right hands, then turned back to Gu Qingheng and said:

"This humble official and the Eastern Palace physician have reached the same conclusion: Your Majesty is fine."

Gu Qingheng nodded: "Changhe will send the judge back to the palace."

Zhao Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't directly say that he was not sick at all.

Seeing this, Jinzhu and Qiaoer also retreated, leaving only the two of them in the inner room.

Zhao Mingzhu forced herself to look away from the cold food on the table and began to listen to Gu Qingheng leave.

But after a while, Gu Qingheng didn't leave.

Zhao Mingzhu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and her gaze met his head-on. It was obvious that her peeking was discovered.

Zhao Mingzhu cleared her throat and said, "If Your Highness has any government affairs to attend to, you can go and do them. Don't worry about me."

Gu Qingheng held the cup and rubbed the edge, trying to drive him away.

"This is the main hall of the East Palace."

Zhao Mingzhu didn't understand and just looked at him blankly.

"I have been in the study for many days. The Queen Mother summoned me today to inquire about our situation."

Now Zhao Mingzhu understood that she, the granddaughter-in-law, actually dared to force her eldest grandson from going back to the main hall to sleep.

The old empress dowager was taking her into consideration again.

Zhao Mingzhu held the silk quilt in her hand. It didn't matter where she slept, so why couldn't she just leave?

After figuring it out, Zhao Mingzhu smiled considerately, showing her rare virtuousness:

"This is my oversight. I will ask Qiao'er and the others to move my things to the side hall. Your Highness should return to sleep here in the future."

The last time he heard her call herself a concubine was on their wedding night. Gu Qingheng's expression faded a little:

"The Queen Mother asked us to have a child as soon as possible to expand the royal family."

Zhao Mingzhu didn't react after hearing this. She repeated, "...What, you have a child?"

…!? !

Is she not deaf or blind?

Regarding children, Zhao Mingzhu has never thought about this issue, nor does she need to think about it.

How could this question come out of Gu Qingheng's lips and enter her ears at such a high speed?

Zhao Mingzhu vaguely confirmed, "Did I hear correctly?"

Zhao Mingzhu returned to her old self, and a vicious look flashed across Gu Qingheng's eyes.

Admiring the incredulous look on the man's face, he played with the cup and kindly reminded:

"Of course, you are my Crown Princess. Before our child is born, I will not have any illegitimate children."

"Not only the Queen Mother, but also the Emperor is looking forward to you giving birth to a child as soon as possible."

It means that one should do one's job and the Crown Princess Zhao Mingzhu must give birth to a child.

She was dumbfounded. "No." Zhao Mingzhu refused without thinking.

"Why?" Gu Qingheng asked.

Zhao Mingzhu felt that this touched upon her blind spot in knowledge. How could she explain that she had never thought about having anything with Gu Qingheng, let alone having children?

He belongs to the heroine Su Lu, and she is not so stubborn as to snatch the man from the heroine!

But he couldn't say any of this to Gu Qingheng in front of him, so he could only shake his head and emphasize: "No."

Under Gu Qingheng's gaze, "...I'm not ready yet." Zhao Mingzhu scratched his head and said sullenly.

"Yeah, okay."

Well, okay?

What? What are you doing?

When Zhao Mingzhu was puzzled, Qiao'er came in with a gold stamp and said:

"Someone from General Yongwei's residence sent an invitation, saying that you, the Crown Princess, are invited to a flower viewing banquet."

After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu jumped off the beauty bed and took it. Then she read it word by word and asked:

"Are An Yun, Gu Yu and the others going?"

Qiao Er shook her head: "I'll send someone to ask."

If An Yun and Gu Yu don’t go, then she won’t go either.

She was thinking about it when suddenly Gu Qingheng looked at her with a half-smile behind the invitation:

"What's that dirt on my face?"

She touched her face, nothing.

Then he remembered that he had checked into the hotel so quickly.

She laughed dryly twice: "After your Highness came, I felt that all my illnesses were healed. You are really my lucky star."

Gu Qingheng put down the teacup and said, "Now that the Crown Princess is well, I will go to the academy tomorrow to report for leave."

Zhao Mingzhu saw that her vacation was about to end. She held her forehead and said:

"Actually, I'm still feeling a little unwell. I'd better go to the academy in two days."

Jinzhu happened to come in again, and Zhao Mingzhu changed the subject and asked her what was the matter and why she brought the piano with her.

Jin Zhu: "This is a zither sent by the academy... It carries a message from the Imperial Preceptor..."

Seeing Zhao Mingzhu's doubts, she suddenly lowered her voice and nervously conveyed the original words.

"The Imperial Tutor said that your zither music is rare in the world. After that day, all the wild cats around the academy were so scared that they moved away overnight. Although the Crown Princess has no hope of becoming the world's number one zither player, she can compete for the title of the world's number one zither demon."

Zhao Mingzhu: Is this the Year of the Snake? You're so venomous.

In the hall, Qiao'er laughed secretly, and Jinzhu couldn't help laughing.

Gu Qingheng pursed his lips and stood up: "In that case, the Crown Princess won't be going to the academy these two days, and since you have nothing to do, you can practice the piano well."

Zhao Mingzhu is really not interested.

I was thinking whether I should agree first and then pretend to obey, and then say that I have no talent and can only play the piano in that terrible way.

She thought the plan was feasible and was about to agree to it.

"I will come to check on you, just in case the Crown Princess is not paying attention and is just being perfunctory."

Zhao Mingzhu: ...

It was predicted.
