On the other hand, Zhao Shouzheng was dressed neatly, wearing a sachet and applying hair oil. He hadn't dressed so carefully in more than ten years.

But the effect was also great when he rushed to the West Gate and met the eldest princess.

Ning An was stunned. This, this, isn’t this the Zhao Lang from sixteen years ago?

Seeing his change, the eldest princess was so happy that she said in secret, "Zhao Lang really understands what I mean. Zhao Lang really is interested in me!"

If there weren't so many people around, she would have let out a whimper and thrown herself into his arms...

Seeing the princess' pretty face blushing, Lady Liu coughed and said, "Please let Zhao Xiaolian lead the way."

"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng responded quickly and rode his horse to lead the way.

The eldest princess sat in the phoenix sedan chair and opened the thick curtain a little. She looked at Zhao Lang, who was holding a jade whip, riding a white horse and galloping lightly in the warm sunshine. How handsome he looked!

Zhao Mansion.

The disciples quickly dressed Zhao Hao, folded the bedding and rolled it up in the corner of the kang, and then invited Li Mingyue and his sister to come into the inner room.

"You're here so early?" Zhao Hao smiled and asked them to sit on the kang, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, brother."

"No, I was dragged out of bed..."

The brother and sister spoke at the same time, but their answers were completely opposite.

Li Chengen realized he had said something wrong, and before his sister could look at him, he lowered his head and said, "I ate something on the way."

"Whether you've eaten or not, eat something." Zhao Hao laughed and gave each of them a bowl of Yuanxiao that Zhao Shizhen had brought.

"Thank you, brother." Li Mingyue picked up the bowl, scooped a big, white, round dumpling, and blew away the hot air gently.

Seeing her eating so elegantly, Li Chengen couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly put his head into the food in his own bowl.

While eating, Zhao Hao instructed his sixth disciple, "Tell your fellow apprentices that today is a holiday. The East Courtyard is closed for a break. Go out and relax."

"Yes, it's Master." Zhang Jian hurried out to pass on the message.

However, ever since Zhao Hao issued the order to sprint, the disciples have been studying so hard that they have forgotten to eat and sleep.

Sometimes when Zhao Hao got up to pee in the middle of the night, he could still see the light on in the west room...

There is less than a month left until the Spring Examination. I guess no one wants to waste this day, right?

Thinking about Mr. Zhao Er who was lazy all day long, Zhao Hao became very angry.

Alas, old comrades tend to be complacent and be satisfied with just passing the imperial examination.

But compared to my studies, dating my mother is more important...

~~

When the three of them finished their meal and were about to leave, Zhao Hao smiled and said to Gao Wu, "You don't have to follow us today. Let's give the guards a day off."

The young master and his sister are protected by the Jinyiwei, so Zhao Hao took the opportunity to give Brother Gao, who works all year round, a holiday.

Gao Wu shook his head and remained silent.

The young master felt so uncomfortable that he wished he could tear out his own throat and replace it with his own.

"Let them take turns to take holidays, and we will follow the young master." After a long time, Gao Wu finally uttered a sentence.

"Okay then." Zhao Hao never beats around the bush with the people around him. He just says what he wants to do, and efficiency comes first.

He turned around and told Cai Mingdao: "Give Xiwa a day off and don't let him take shifts. If this child doesn't go out to play, he might get sick."

"What? We can have a day off today?!" Before Cai Ming could respond, she heard Zhao Shixi's excited and distorted voice from the roof of the east wing.

"Oh my god, why are you upstairs again?" Li Chengen put his hands on the pergola and looked at Zhao Shixi who was basking in the morning sun.

"This is a problem I developed since the Chinese New Year." Zhao Hao laughed.

Nowadays, this guy climbs onto the roof whenever he has nothing to do, as if he is declaring in this way that a bird that yearns for freedom cannot be caged.

"You might as well build a nest and live there, and I'll get you some bird eggs to hatch." Li Cheng'en teased his old enemy as usual.

"Haha, I'm in a good mood today, I won't argue with you!" Zhao Shixi ignored him and took out the two tickets, one new and one old, from his pocket. He held one in each hand like a yangge, and danced excitedly on the roof, saying:

"It's time to spend money..."

"Be careful!" Zhao Hao felt dizzy. What if he stepped on the tiles and broke them?

"Uncle, don't worry. My current skills are so..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Shixi stepped on a tile and broke it, lost his balance, and fell from the roof.

“Ouch…”

He landed on his legs on the blue brick floor. There was another cracking sound, and then he cried out in pain.

When Zhao Hao saw that the problem was serious, he quickly asked Brother Gao to take a look.

Gao Wu went over to investigate for a while, then turned back and sighed to Zhao Hao, "It's broken..."

"Hey, please call the doctor."

Zhao Hao sighed helplessly.

~~

Meanwhile, Zhao Shouzheng brought the eldest princess to the porridge kitchen.

When they heard that Her Royal Highness the Living Bodhisattva Princess had come to see them, the refugees who were eating porridge and waiting to eat porridge all knelt down and cried to thank her for her great kindness.

They had heard that even the Lugou Bridge coal yard was built by the princess in order to provide them with a livelihood.

Seeing this scene, the princess was quite moved. But what was the point of her wanting people's hearts? She only wanted Zhao Lang's heart.

She just walked around the porridge place perfunctorily and then went into Baiyun Temple.

The eldest princess first donated a large sum of money as compensation for the losses suffered by Baiyun Temple in the past few months, and then went to the North Garden of Xiao Penglai to rest.

After a while, she changed out of her phoenix coronet and bridal robe, put on a common woman's dress, and then covered herself with a hooded cloak. Just like she did that year, she sneaked out of Little Penglai through the small gate of the North Garden.

Outside the north gate, just like before, Zhao Lang was waiting for her.

Seeing the two of them leave in the same car, Liu Shanggong and Ji Sizheng both shed tears, not knowing whether they were happy for His Highness or scared...

~~

Fortunately, Doctor Wang from the Imperial Hospital lived next door, so the young master went there in person and asked him to come and see Zhao Shixi.

The imperial physician is the imperial physician. He quickly bent Zhao Shixi's ankle back in place, put on a splint, applied medicine, and bandaged it, all in just a cup of tea.

"Don't get out of bed before the splint is removed, and don't go out for three months. If you recover well, nothing will happen. If you don't, you'll become a cripple."

Doctor Wang gave Xiwa some instructions, then bowed and said goodbye to the young master and his sister. He was in a hurry to go to the temple fair with his wives and concubines.

Looking at Zhao Shixi, who was lying on the bed with a splint on his left leg and a look of despair on his face, Zhao Hao was both angry and amused. He glared at him and said:

"Do you dare to go up to the room again? If you become a cripple, how can I explain to your father?"

"It's okay, uncle. This is fate. Even if it hadn't happened, I might have been hit by a car when I went out today..." Zhao Shixi looked up at the sky with a gloomy expression and said:

"If God wants to play tricks on me, let him do it..."

This kid is so unlucky that even the young lord is embarrassed to make fun of him.

Li Chengen picked up the two tickets from the ground, flattened them and placed them on the head of Xiwa's bed, then patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be sad. When you are better, uncle will take you to have fun for two days."

"Forget it. One cannot go against fate." Zhao Shixi shook his head resignedly and murmured:

"I think I should give up this idea. Otherwise, I will die from this sooner or later..."

Seeing that the child's ideas were quite correct, everyone stopped worrying that he would become depressed.

~~

Because of Zhao Shixi's delay, it was already noon when the three of them arrived at the City God Temple.

It is said that man proposes, God disposes. Her Royal Highness the Princess had made all kinds of calculations, but she did not expect that Xiwa would actually fall from the roof.

The two people arrived at the downtown entrance at the same time...

There are only five days left, please support me by voting for me!
