Chapter 82 What an honor
Without waiting for Lu Jiuyuan to answer, Emperor Shengzong happily replied, "Is there any need to ask? This must be a good omen for our Dayang Kingdom. Princess Pingle cured it."
Lu Jingbai:???
The hospital director asked seriously, "Excuse me, little princess, how did the genius doctor cure the crown prince? What method did he use? I wonder...will you accept a disciple?"
Emperor Shengzong looked at the court official like a fool and said, "What I mean is that Princess Pingle is blessed with great fortune. Her little mouth has been blessed. Moreover, the Crown Princess and Sanbao are both blessed with good fortune. Bringing good fortune to the Crown Prince will naturally be fine."
As he spoke, Emperor Shengzong looked up and asked, "Crown Prince, Crown Princess, are you right?"
Lu Jiuyuan and Bai Taotao said in unison: "No."
Emperor Shengzong: ...
Silly children, I am trying to increase your popularity and fame, which will be of great benefit to your lives. You still deny it? Lu Jiuyuan looked at Bai Taotao and said seriously, "I found a folk doctor a while ago and have been treating my leg disease. I didn't dare to hold out hope, so I didn't tell my father."
The civilian doctor Bai Taotao smiled and said, "Your Highness is truly blessed."
Lu Jiuyuan added, "Yes, I am very lucky. I have been desperate every day and finally I can stand up again."
The little seedling in my heart: Every day is a cycle of life and death.
Emperor Shengzong laughed heartily: "In the final analysis, it is all thanks to the Crown Princess and Sanbao. If it were not for them bringing blessings to the Crown Prince, how could a common doctor have any medical skills?"
Bai Taotao, who has no medical skills: ...
Emperor Shengzong looked at Lu Jingbai lovingly and said, "Call me Grandfather Emperor. I will make you a princess. How about Princess Pingle?"
Lu Jingyan was very anxious, and his little hands grabbed the corner of Emperor Shengzong's sleeves: "Grandpa Emperor, Grandpa Emperor, Grandpa Emperor."
I shouted many times, please make me the crown prince.
Lu Jingren also tugged at the other corner of Emperor Shengzong's sleeve: "Grandpa Emperor, Grandpa Emperor, I don't want to be a princess. I want lots and lots of delicious food. Just give me an imperial chef."
Lu Jingbai tilted his little head, looking very obedient. He pointed at his bald head with a few yellow hairs and said, "Grandpa, I want it. Pull it."
Grandpa Emperor, I want to be a little girl, not a princess.
Emperor Shengzong laughed heartily and had the palace maids called over. He then said, "Come here, give Princess Pingle the most beautiful little bun."
The palace maid looked at the few yellow hairs on Lu Jingbai's bald head:???
It's so embarrassing!
Empress Zhou was shocked again: "Your Majesty, you want to make her a princess? But a princess is not..."
Emperor Shengzong ignored Empress Zhou and coldly ordered Li Zongguan: "Little Li, I want to have stir-fried tongue for lunch. It's the kind that's long and makes nonsense noises. Let's call it stir-fried long-tongued woman."
Manager Li suppressed his laughter and agreed.
Empress Zhou looked very unhappy, as Emperor Shengzong was indirectly calling her a gossip.
Lu Jingbai was very well-behaved. She seemed to think that it was not a good idea to confer the title of princess on her and did not want to embarrass the emperor.
She said slowly, "Grandpa...don't...Princess...everyone...be happy."
She also pointed at her two brothers and said, "I have it... and they... want it too."
Mom said that if she has it, Dabao and Erbao will also have it.
In short, they will have a share of the Three Treasures.
Emperor Shengzong looked at his two baby boys. A girl could be given the title of princess, but a boy was already a prince, and if he was given the title of a higher rank, he would become a little prince.
It doesn’t have much influence on girls, but if these two are made princes, it will not be good for them.
In the end, Emperor Shengzong gave up the idea and said, "Then give me a reward."
Lu Jiuyuan watched Emperor Shengzong fondly teasing Sanbao, then looked at himself:???
Isn't it because he stood up today that he is the focus?
Bai Taotao was happy: the vest was covered and not exposed.
Empress Zhou didn't stay in Qianlong Palace for long before Emperor Shengzong ordered her to return to the palace.
All the officials outside also dispersed.
When Lu Linyuan heard the bell, he dressed in white and entered the palace, almost in mourning.
He saw the ministers coming out from afar and immediately burst into tears: "Brother, why did you leave so soon? I haven't seen you for the last time. You...you have to go well."
"Brother, I will kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to pave the way for you."
As he spoke, Lu Linyuan lifted up his robe, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
From afar, I heard the wailing of the ministers: ...
Even the most filial sons are not as filial as you in seeing their old father to his final resting place.
Anyway, Lu Linyuan acted as if he didn't see his ministers and knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times.
Bai Jinfeng was also crying and wiping her tears, and she knelt three times and kowtowed nine times: "Your Highness, it is a great fortune that the prince has survived until now. Please accept my condolences."
After the prince died, Bai Taotao became a widow and even had to be buried with him.
Even if you are not buried with him, you will no longer be glorious in the future.
Bai Taotao is about to start having bad luck, but her glorious life is just beginning.
The happier Bai Jinfeng was in her heart, the sadder she looked when she cried.
Bai Xincheng walked up to Lu Linyuan and looked down at him.
Lu Linyuan also looked up at Bai Xincheng and consoled him, "Master Bai, please accept my condolences. The Crown Princess still relies on you."
Bai Taotao is a widow now. Let’s see how she can still be so arrogant in front of him in the future.
Considering that she is pretty, it is not impossible to have an affair with her secretly in the future.
Bai Xincheng looked down at Lu Linyuan, then said quietly, "Your Highness, it's too early to cry. The Crown Prince is still alive, and his leg disease has healed. He has already stood up."
Lu Linyuan was stunned: "My royal brother is still alive? What about the bell sound?"
Bai Xincheng: "The prince has stood up, and the imperial physician has just diagnosed that the prince has one year to live."
Bai Jinfeng was also stunned: "Another year?"
The prince is not dead yet, and there is still a year left?
If Lu Linyuan wants to become the crown prince, won’t that take another year?
Bai Xincheng glanced at them, then smiled and said, "The Emperor knows that you are very filial. Since you like to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, then kneel into the palace and kneel out of the palace."
After saying this, Bai Xincheng walked over sideways and said, "We're obviously brothers, but you're kneeling like a filial son. It's unlucky."
Lu Linyuan was stunned, totally unable to believe it.
But looking at the civil and military officials passing by, not a single one looked sad, so he said:???
Because of Emperor Shengzong's words, Lu Linyuan and Bai Jinfeng could only kneel three times and kowtow nine times before entering the palace with mixed feelings.
Both of my knees were broken from kneeling and my forehead was bleeding.
Before they even entered Qianlong Palace, they saw Lu Jiuyuan being supported by Bai Taotao's internal force and floating out.
Lu Linyuan: ...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a ghost floating around.
Lu Jiuyuan looked at Lu Linyuan calmly: "Three kneelings and nine kowtows, I really want to thank you, second brother, for letting me experience in advance the feeling of a filial son sending me off to the grave."
Lu Linyuan: "Prince."
Lu Jingyan put his hands behind his back and shook his head: "I thought I was filial enough, but I didn't expect that the virtuous prince is even more filial than me."
It’s all for the throne.
This damn, charming dragon throne.
Bai Taotao just glanced at them indifferently and left.
In the Qianlong Palace, Emperor Shengzong shouted, "Come in."
Not long after Bai Taotao and the others got on the carriage, Lu Linyuan and his wife were scolded and driven out, and they were forced to kneel three times and kowtow nine times before leaving the palace.
If you want to be a filial son, let them do it to their heart's content.
Lu Linyuan, who wanted to show his brotherly love and have more chances to become the crown prince: ...
My hopes were dashed and I felt like my life had no direction.
Bai Taotao and the others returned to the Eastern Palace, which had returned to normal. After Eunuch Xi calmed down, he realized something was wrong and quickly scolded and explained.
Everyone then realized that it was not the prince who died, but the prince who stood up.
Then when Bai Taotao and the others returned to the East Palace, all the palace maids were staring at Lu Jiuyuan's legs, as if they wanted to poke a hole in his legs.
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
It feels like being treated like a monkey.
Especially the look in Eunuch Xi's eyes, he really wants to come up and touch her.
Eunuch Xi came forward to serve, then asked Lu Jiuyuan: "Your Highness, did you recover last night?"
Lu Jiuyuan asked coldly, "What else?"
Eunuch Xi slapped his thigh with joy: "My thousand taels were really not wasted. My Lord Crown Prince, you have stood up, finally stood up."
Lu Jiuyuan frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean by one thousand taels?"
Bai Taotao also looked at Eunuch Xi in surprise: "Eunuch Xi, have you been tricked?"
She smelled the medicine that was given to Lu Jiuyuan last night. It was just some common herbs like Panax notoginseng and Solanum nigrum. She thought it was too expensive to spend one or two taels of silver.
He also spent a huge sum of one thousand taels?
Eunuch Xi smiled meaningfully: "As long as the prince stands up, no amount of money will be a pit."
The medicine last night must have been very effective. Not only did it make the prince's roots stand up and favor the princess, it also made the prince's legs stand up.
He is truly a great contributor.
Be low-key, don't seek credit, as long as the prince is well.
Well, he had to find that young doctor to buy some more so that the Crown Prince could recover faster and favor the Crown Princess more.
The Eastern Palace will soon have another young master.
Bai Taotao was thinking about how to cheat some huge sum of money from Eunuch Xi. After all, it is better to keep the money in the family.
Grandpa Xi happily took Sanbao out to play, wanting to leave more space for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
Bai Taotao helped Lu Jiuyuan into the room, let him lie down, and asked him, "How does it feel to stand up?"
Lu Jiuyuan looked up at her and said, "You are so short that you only reach my chin."
Bai Taotao bared her teeth: "Where's my knife? If I don't give you the medicinal wax, I should amputate your limbs!"
As soon as she stood up, she was disliked for being short!
Besides, he is 1.9 meters tall, which is much taller than her who is 1.7 meters tall. It's normal!
Lu Jiuyuan looked at Bai Taotao and smiled: "Do you need me to sharpen your knife?"
Bai Taotao: "Hmm???"
She wanted to amputate his limb, and he still wanted to sharpen the knife?
Lu Jiuyuan said, "If the knife is sharpened, it will be easier for you to chop and you won't be tired."
Bai Taotao couldn't help but shiver, then she touched her arm and got goose bumps all over her body.
She reached out and touched Lu Jiuyuan's forehead: "Do you have a fever? It's not hot."
Lu Jiuyuan raised his head and looked at her seriously: "My heart is aroused for you."
Bai Taotao stared at Lu Jiuyuan with wide eyes, then made a yue gesture: "Your Highness, you are so cunning."
I always feel that Lu Jiuyuan, whose leg has healed, seems to be starting to lose his character.
Lu Jiuyuan looked at her calmly: "You still know how to talk to me like this and make me feel uncomfortable? I suffer from this kind of torture every day."
He only said a word or two occasionally, but she spoke casually.
Bai Taotao: ...
She couldn't figure out the style of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It was rare for Lu Jiuyuan to see Bai Taotao speechless after being criticized, but he was in a good mood.
Because Lu Jiuyuan discovered that, except in the East Palace, she spoke relatively little in front of others, and she would not say such dirty words.
Even in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, she was still relatively well-behaved.
She was different in front of him.
Lu Jiuyuan asked cheerfully, "Father wants to make Xiaobao a princess, and he also wants to credit you with the credit for my leg's recovery. Why don't you accept it?"
Bai Taotao: "No reward without merit."
Lu Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows: "So righteous?"
He doesn't believe it.
Bai Taotao said seriously, "Sanbao is still young and not suitable for this. If your legs are fine, it will be a blessing for them. When the time comes, those who want you dead will definitely attack Sanbao first."
She knew the good intentions of Emperor Shengzong, and giving Sanbao the title of auspicious and lucky star would benefit them throughout their lives.
But Sanbao is still young, and the greater the fame, the greater the danger.
She still hopes that the three little ones will not reveal their special abilities and grow up healthy, safe and happy.
This is the mindset of a mother.
Lu Jiuyuan also thought so, because he had been in great glory and was highly praised since he was a child, but a sudden attack brought him down from the clouds.
If it weren't for Bai Taotao and the others, he would have stayed in the quagmire all his life and dragged more people into it.
White peach...
Just thinking about this, the little seedling in Lu Jiuyuan's heart began to grow vigorously again.
Bai Taotao held her face in her hands and said, "Ah, you only have one year left to live. If I outlive you, my plan to inherit the East Palace's wealth will be delayed by another year. I'm so miserable."
Snap.
The little seedling has wilted again.
Bai Taotao still looked at Lu Jiuyuan and said seriously, "Erbao wanted to wait until you died, and then inherit your throne as crown prince and become the emperor. Now that his dream is shattered, he must be heartbroken."
The little seedling in my heart has almost disappeared into thin air.
Lu Jiuyuan turned to Bai Taotao and asked, "Who knows about your thoughts of rebellion?"
His Crown Princess wanted to be the Empress, his eldest son wanted to be a general and fight in wars; his second son wanted to outlast him and seize his position as Crown Prince; his father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law were bent on rebellion...
Except for Xiaobao, everyone around him is a traitor!
Bai Taotao looked at Lu Jiuyuan and smiled with narrowed eyes: "You are the only one who knows this. Aren't you honored?"
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
Not honored at all!
Bai Taotao happily grabbed Lu Jiuyuan's hand and said, "Your Highness is so kind. Your Highness really dotes on me. I will love you to the bone. You are the only one in my life."
Lu Jiuyuan, who was confessed to with deep affection: ...
If you give up your idea of outlasting me, I will believe your lies.
The next day, Lu Jiuyuan really wanted to take Bai Taotao back to her parents' home for dinner.
However, before they set off, they met three uninvited guests.
