Chapter 40 What will happen?
"Lin Fu, bring a cup of hot water to Shou Wang to warm him up."
After Emperor Yongping sat down at the table, he gave instructions to Lin Fu.
Lin Fu: “…”
Which hot water? Is it the tea water of the weekdays or the water of yesterday?
But the water in the water bag is obviously cool.
"You won't boil it before serving it to Shou Wang?"
Emperor Yongping saw that Lin Fu had a troubled look on his face and had no choice but to give him a reminder.
"How are you feeling? Do you want the imperial physician to come and take a look at you?"
Emperor Yongping could not tell the physical condition of Prince Shou.
I only remember that in the winter of previous years, except for going to the palace to visit his mother on the tenth day of every month, he was never seen again.
I don’t know if Jin Dong is possessed, why does he go to the palace every day?
Didn't I tell you to have someone deliver the water to the palace today? It's just Shu'er's bath water, can he keep it?
"It's all right, son. I've come here specially to take the reward you promised me yesterday."
Prince Shou rubbed his hands together, looking as if he really wanted the reward from Emperor Yongping.
He had not planned to enter the palace today, but after drinking the glass of water yesterday, he inexplicably felt a sense of warmth in his body.
I actually had a good sleep at night, which was a rare occasion.
He suspected that the cup of water was either divine water or health-preserving water with magic medicine added to it.
In order to prevent Emperor Yongping from changing his mind, he rushed to the study early this morning to guard it.
"Oh, and by the way, I'll give Shu'er a small gift. Father, would you please let me hold Shu'er?"
To be honest, Prince Shou looks a bit fawning.
Emperor Yongping couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"I'll hold you for just a quarter of an hour. Once you've finished drinking the water, hurry back to your own palace."
“Ahhhhhhhh~~”
[Uncle Sanhuang holds me, Uncle Sanhuang holds me, Shu'er wants Uncle Sanhuang to hold me.]
When Chu Qinshu heard that there was a gift, she jumped up using her hands and feet.
As for her strength, it was a pity that she was still in the period of confinement. If she lived another three to five months longer, Emperor Yongping would not be able to hold her.
"Xiao Shu'er, do you like your uncle the Third Emperor? Or do you like the little gift he gave you?"
Emperor Yongping tapped Chu Qinshu's little nose and teased her with a smile.
“Ah~ah~ah~”
[Shu'er likes Uncle Sanhuang and the gifts he gives her. Shu'er likes Grandpa Huang even more and the gifts he gives her even more.]
Chu Qinshu would not be fooled. Golden thighs come in different sizes.
Besides, she can tell at a glance the difference between a gift that is given with care and one that is not.
Shou Wang was genuinely kind to her, so naturally she liked both him and the gift.
Of course, the same is true for Emperor Yongping.
The items he gave her were not drawn by him personally.
But he also asked Liangjiangsi (the department in the palace that specializes in making accessories for the emperor, empress and concubines) to draw the design and send it to him, and he selected it himself.
"Father, you see Shu'er said she likes me."
Prince Shou had already reached out to take Chu Qinshu, then took out a small purse and handed it to her.
"Shu'er, guess what Uncle Sanhuang gave you this time?"
The little purse swayed back and forth, and Chu Qinshu stared at it with her big, bright eyes.
This time it was a small green purse. Could it be that there was a little squirrel inside?
“Ahhhhh~Ahhh~”
[I can't guess, I can't guess, I like whatever Uncle Sanhuang gives me.]
Chu Qinshu couldn't guess, and didn't want to guess.
Anyway, it’s either gold or jade, and they are both valuable.
"Can you understand what Shu'er is saying? Why are you letting her guess?"
Emperor Yongping had just picked up the memorial to read it when he heard Chu Qinshu say this.
I thought to myself, this little guy is really smart.
I haven’t guessed it yet. It’s obvious that I can’t guess it.
"If you don't understand, you can guess. She doesn't understand what I'm saying either. If you guess, you'll understand."
Although Shou Wang said this, he stopped shaking the purse in his hand and opened it to take things out.
He was afraid that Chu Qinshu would fall asleep and forget to look at the gift he gave her.
"Little koi, do you like it?"
The green pouch faded away, and what appeared in front of Chu Qinshu was a lively golden koi.
So fat and plump, so cute.
"Ah~ Hey~"
[I like it, I like koi. Thank you Uncle Sanhuang for giving me the koi. I like it very much.]
Chu Qinshu happily expressed her love for the gift, which made Emperor Yongping glare at Prince Shou again.
"Lin Fu, I asked you to make tea for Shou Wang, why can't you make it?"
Emperor Yongping wanted Prince Shou to return to his own palace as soon as possible so that he would not be delayed here while reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am here right now."
Lin Fu came in trotting with a tray.
He didn't know whether it was cooked or not, but when he heard Emperor Yongping urging him, he understood what he meant.
Anyway, it will burn your hands if you pour it into a cup, so just serve it first.
"Your Highness, please enjoy your meal."
Lin Fu accidentally became a waiter again.
Alas, the last time I sent the Queen away, I also suffered from the aftereffects.
“Ahhh, ah~”
[Uncle Sanhuang, drink some water quickly. You won’t get sick after drinking it. Take the water bag back and drink it. Don’t go into the palace. There are bad people in the palace who want to harm Uncle Sanhuang.]
Chu Qinshu thought of Prince Shou's ending in the original book, and was afraid that he would enter the palace to show off after he recovered, so she had to remind him again.
Unfortunately, she can't tell.
He could only yell "Ahhhhh" at Shou Wang, looking very fierce and ferocious.
If you don’t know, you might think she was angry with King Shou.
"Hurry up and drink some water. Go to the side hall to look for Lin Fu before you leave. Oh, return Shu'er to me quickly. You see, she doesn't even want you to hold her."
Emperor Yongping saw Chu Qinshu's face flushed with anxiety, and he also wanted to let Prince Shou leave quickly.
Didn’t you say that it would be okay if you don’t enter the palace?
When Prince Shou entered the palace, he only wanted to visit Concubine Jing once a month.
At worst, he can go and check it out for him.
“Ahhh, ahhh~”
[Your Majesty is wrong. I don't dislike being held by Uncle Sanhuang. I am just worried that he is in danger. Wuwuwuwuwu.]
Chu Qinshu was speechless. Emperor Yongping had been with her for more than ten days, so how could he not understand what she meant by "ah ah ah"?
"Oh, you should stay at home and take good care of yourself during the winter. You don't need to come to the palace. I will visit your mother myself."
After Emperor Yongping said this, he glanced at Chu Qinshu.
I thought to myself, this is okay, right?
"Ahhh~ Eh~"
[The Emperor is the smartest person in the universe, and he really understands what Shu'er means. ]
Chu Qinshu was immediately happy when she found out that what Emperor Yongping said was similar to what she wanted to express.
"I will listen to you, father. I will make sure to gain some weight this winter."
Prince Shou agreed on the surface, but he felt strange in his heart.
Chu Chengyi had just reminded him a few days ago not to go into the palace to see Concubine Jing, and he thought that Chu Chengyi might be trying to cause trouble.
Today, Emperor Yongping also told him not to enter the palace, which made him a little confused.
It's just that something will happen in the palace on the tenth day of some month this winter.
He wanted to see what kind of big thing would happen.
