Chapter 340 Return
No matter what the situation in the palace was like, the prince's motorcade finally returned to the capital in the afternoon of that day.
The prince entered the palace exhausted, and without even having time to return to the East Palace to wash up, he went to meet Emperor Kun.
imperial study room,
The prince knelt on his knees.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."
Emperor Kun looked at the Crown Prince Ping'an with mixed feelings. He had been causing him a lot of emotional ups and downs during this period. He also stood up from the dragon throne and personally helped the Crown Prince up.
"Your Highness, please excuse me. You have lost weight! You have suffered a lot during this period of time! Are you feeling well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Father. I am fine now. I am sorry for your worry!"
The prince answered politely without being servile or arrogant.
*
Emperor Kun took the prince's hand and slowly walked towards the chair.
"The prince has made great contributions to this disaster relief effort. Today, there is no ruler or subject, only father and son.
Sit down and talk to your father about why you suddenly became seriously ill? What happened there? "
"Yes, Father."
Emperor Kun patted the prince's hand and asked him to sit down, then shouted to the door,
"Dezi, look at the tea."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Here I come."
Eunuch De, who was standing outside the door, was so excited to see the prince safe and sound that he couldn't help but ask Eunuch Fu a few more questions. Then he heard Emperor Kun calling him.
He put away his fearful expression, walked in with the teacup on the tray, glanced at the prince, and said with emotion,
"Your Highness, you have lost a lot of weight, but you are in good spirits."
"Thank you for your concern, Master De."
"Hehehe... I am glad to see that you are safe."
After Eunuch De quickly filled the cup with tea and water, he bowed and said to Emperor Kun,
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me for being negligent. I just couldn't help but ask Eunuch Fu a few more questions.
God bless you, the prince is blessed with great fortune and luck! I heard what Eunuch Fu said about the thrilling incident! It scared me to death!"
*
The prince smiled softly.
"Eunuch De, it's all over! Isn't I back safe and sound now?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you see the lively prince standing here. You should have two more bowls for tonight's meal, right?"
Emperor Kun laughed and scolded,
"You old fellow, how could you call me a good-for-nothing?"
Eunuch De smiled and said,
"Your Majesty, how dare I! Your Highness, you don't know that when Your Majesty received the news that you were seriously ill, he lost his appetite for several days and nights.
He locked himself in the imperial study and reviewed memorials all night without taking a break.
I know that the emperor is worried about you and can’t sleep! Alas! I was so worried during that time that my hair turned white. "
"Dezi, why are you talking so much today? I am not blind, I have never seen your hair black."
Emperor Kun pretended to be angry and scolded.
"Hehehe... Your Majesty, you know me best. You and the Crown Prince are busy, so I won't delay you any longer!"
Eunuch De smiled as he watched the prince close the door and walk out.
*
Emperor Kun then inquired carefully about the prince's illness. Of course, the prince did not mention the seal with the talisman, nor did he mention Fang Qingge's involvement.
After all, the imperial doctors did not find out the truth about the illness.
Therefore, the prince expressed his gratitude to Emperor Kun for the hard work of the imperial doctors, and even more so, he praised the superb medical skills and all-out efforts of the old imperial doctors Sun and Qi.
Emperor Kun was also filled with emotion after hearing this, and patted the prince on the shoulder and said,
"My son has returned safely after escaping death nearly a century ago. It is truly the blessing of the Bodhisattva!"
"I am grateful for the blessing of my father."
Emperor Kun was much happier with the flattery from the Crown Prince.
*
Seeing that his father was happy, the prince wanted to strike while the iron was hot and put forward some conditions.
"Father, I have a favor to ask of you."
The prince was about to stand up and continue reporting, but Emperor Kun raised his hand to stop him.
"Sit down and talk. I have read the documents sent by the Jiangnan City government office. The Crown Prince has made great contributions this time and the people are sending him off. Your Majesty is deeply pleased!"
"Thank you, Father. I have accomplished my mission."
"Prince! You have done a great job! The people of Jiangnan City have suffered two disasters in succession. I am heartbroken but I am powerless to help.
The treasury is empty and stretched to the limit.
I was also shocked to hear that you were ill and your life was in danger. For the past few days, your father has been in a daze.
I often think of your childhood. Fortunately, your two children are here to comfort your father."
When Emperor Kun thought of his two clever little grandchildren, a smile appeared on his face.
"Father, your Majesty, I am your son?" The prince wanted to tell his own business.
But he was interrupted again by Emperor Kun, who held the prince's hand and said,
"You should go back to the East Palace and rest for a few days. After all, you should take good care of your body after recovering from a serious illness.
Don't worry, the emperor knows what you mean, and he has already ordered the Ministry of Rites to start the process of getting the two children on the imperial throne."
Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that his father would take the initiative to bring up this matter.
The original idea was to use his merits to have the two children included in the royal jade book as soon as possible.
However, when you go out on your own, things often don't turn out as you wish.
He never expected that the brainless Crown Princess would suddenly have a brain while his life was in danger, and teamed up with Zhang Yuying to murder Qingge.
How could he tolerate this matter any longer? So this time he wanted to use his merits to exchange for a condition to depose the Crown Princess.
*
And looking at his father's smile and the fact that he took the initiative to talk about his two children being included in the royal imperial book.
The prince temporarily suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth to depose the Crown Princess.
He stood up and bowed respectfully.
"My son, thank you very much, Father!"
Emperor Kun was happy, with a smile in his eyes.
"You! You are just too old-fashioned. Fortunately, my grandson doesn't have the same temper as you. Hahahaha….
"Have you chosen names for the two children, Prince?"
Emperor Kun was in a good mood and pretended to ask, but in fact he had already thought of names for the two children in private.
The prince was not stupid. He saw through his father's thoughts and knew that his father really loved the two children, so he bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, I haven't made up my mind yet. I dare to ask Your Majesty to give the two children names."
Emperor Kun laughed with satisfaction upon hearing this, nodded and said,
"it is good!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the desk.
He wrote down two names with just a few strokes of the brush.
After a while, he picked up the rice paper and blew it gently.
"I named my little grandson Hao, Liang Yuhao. And I named my little princess Ning, Liang Jianing. They all mean peace, health, and happiness."
Upon hearing this, the prince bowed again and took it respectfully.
"Thank you, Father, for the name."
"You deserve this. Besides, my two children are very much in my heart, so they are also qualified."
"Thank you, Father, for your kindness."
Emperor Kun smiled and waved his hands, already impatient, and shouted to the outside of the door,
"Tokuko."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Order the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day to present the imperial edicts to the two young grandchildren."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."
When Eunuch De heard this, his eyes lit up. He looked at the calligraphy in the prince's hand and said with a smile,
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two young masters!"
"Dezi, you talked too much today."
"Hehehe..., Your Majesty, I am leaving now!"
