Return to Beijing.
When she left the Valley of Divine Healers, Murong Jin wrote a letter to Emperor Junlan, saying that she was coming back.
Emperor Junlan received the letter many days later, and it was only because it was delivered by express messenger that it arrived so quickly.
"Murong Jin is coming back."
I wonder how the treatment is going.
On the day she returned to the capital, Murong Jin was already lying on a recliner in the Regent's Palace. She was no longer afraid of the cold, so she naturally didn't need to cover herself with a small blanket anymore. She also wore less clothing, just like she would wear in hot weather. She didn't wear too much, because it would be too hot.
Although it was already late autumn, the weather in Da Cheng Kingdom was still quite hot.
"Has the ice been delivered yet?"
Yi Er held several large watermelons in his hands. "We've already arranged for someone to set up an icehouse. These are freshly chilled watermelons. Would you like some, Master?"
Since Murong Jin could no longer eat raw, cold, or spicy food, she hadn't eaten any of these, including the watermelon she ate every year when it was hot. "Try it."
Okay~
Emperor Lan had intended to go and pick up the person, but before he could even set off, he heard from his subordinates that the Regent had already arrived at the residence.
Emperor Junlan: "..." Wasn't it said that it would take half a month to arrive? Why has it arrived in only eleven days? Wasn't it supposed to take another three days?
"Your Majesty, the Regent seems to be eating watermelon, the chilled kind."
Di Junlan looked puzzled. "He can eat raw or cold food now?"
Eunuch Zhao: "Your Majesty, the Regent's complexion has improved considerably; the treatment must be working."
"Let's go to the Regent's Palace."
Regent Murong Jin was eating a watermelon, holding half of it on his lap with a spoon in the center. Yi Er said from the side, "I heard that eating it like this is very satisfying."
Murong Jin stared at the watermelon on her lap. Although there was something on her lap to keep her from getting wet, the image of her holding a watermelon just felt a little off.
When Di Junlan entered, he saw Murong Jin holding half a watermelon. His appearance was utterly comical, especially considering the Regent's aloof demeanor; the sight was truly astonishing…
The fact that Murong Jin looked completely bewildered while holding the watermelon was especially puzzling to Di Junlan.
This person can be silly too.
"The Regent".
Murong Jin looked up and finally said, "May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
"I've come to see you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Di Junlan looked at the watermelon on his lap, "How are you feeling?"
"Your Majesty, the divine physician said that as long as nothing else goes wrong and one can settle down and recuperate, one's lifespan will naturally be longer."
One must calm the mind and rest peacefully, avoiding worries and anxieties.
Emperor Junlan understood. "I get it. Are there any more watermelons?"
"Also two."
So, the man sitting opposite Murong Jin also had a large watermelon on his lap.
One is half, and the other is a whole.
Emperor Lan: "..."
Why is his one!
After taking a bite of the watermelon from a distance, Yi Er gave the rest of the watermelon to Eunuch Zhao and An Kesen next to him.
The three people stood there, watching the two people opposite them scoop out the flesh of the watermelon spoonful by spoonful...
For some reason, they felt that their master's authority had vanished.
The culprit was none other than Yi Er, who was standing right next to him...
During the meal together, Emperor Junlan also learned that Murong Jin could now eat normally, but she needed to eat less of the foods that were bad for her health.
It seems the royal kitchen can rearrange the meals. In the future, when the regent visits the palace, he might even be able to stay and discuss state affairs with him.
"I'm going back now. Regent, please take care of yourself."
"I understand." You should leave now; I'm going to sneak out today.
This person is so annoying.
When she received Emperor Junlan's letter saying he was coming to pick her up, she immediately sent someone back at top speed. She didn't want to be treated like a monkey on display, especially since she was just returning to the capital, not returning from a victorious battle...
She noticed that ever since she confessed her feelings to Di Junlan and revealed that she had no right to the throne, this man had become inexplicably clingy to her...
After Di Junlan left, Murong Jin asked Yi Er, "Are there any women in the harem?"
Yi Er shook his head, "His Majesty is twenty years old and has not yet expanded his harem; he doesn't even have a single palace maid."
Murong Jin: "Understood." Emperor Lan is too idle; we need to arrange for women to enter the palace for him.
Too many women can be a real problem...
Tsk tsk tsk, let's see how you solve this.
"By the way, we can communicate with the Prime Minister now, as can the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor, and also with General Lin..."
Looking at the smile on Murong Jin's lips, Yi Er felt a little scared.
Your Majesty, you're finished.
Sometimes women can be terrifying.
Especially since there are so many women in the harem...
The late Emperor's concubines, if not for fighting amongst themselves, would end up either dead or injured...
Palace intrigue can sometimes be far more serious than court intrigue...
Not long after, the regent still did not attend court. His Majesty said he was recuperating and would be allowed to attend court once he had recovered.
Not long after, those who were thinking of the regent were submitted to the emperor.
The comments inside mostly advised him to quickly expand his harem, and if that didn't work, to find concubines...
Di Junlan read one book after another, and they were all basically about this matter. "Are they very free?"
Ankerson stood aside, "It seems that when the ministers went to visit the Regent, the Regent suddenly said, 'Your Majesty should also think about the royal offspring...' and then those ministers started acting like this..."
Emperor Lan: "..." Murong Jin, are you trying to push me into a harem? I've seen the tricks of those women in the harem before. Besides, I was also messed with by my father's concubines and almost died countless times. Now you want me to expand the harem, isn't that just adding more trouble to the harem?
