three days later
Chen Jue left the palace in casual clothes.
Outside the palace gate, Liu Zhong, who had accompanied Chen Jue out of the palace, suddenly approached him.
"Sir, should we go to see the Taifu first or go to Chong Academy first?"
After leaving the palace gate, Chen Jue asked Liu Zhong to call him Young Master.
Liu Zhong is the attendant who follows the young master when he goes out.
"Visit the Taifu first." Chen Jue said directly without thinking. The main purpose of leaving the palace today was to visit the Taifu.
No, he is already the former Taifu.
Just yesterday, Taifu Wang appeared in the court for the first time dragging his sick body.
According to the original body's memory, the former Wang Taifu had been sick and absent from court since the original body ascended the throne.
The original person sent Liu Zhong to visit him a few times at first, but the number of visits gradually decreased.
If he hadn't suddenly received Taifu Wang's resignation yesterday, he wouldn't have left the palace to see Taifu now.
Chen Jue raised his eyes and looked at Liu Liuzhong.
Liu Zhong understood immediately, gave instructions to the driver outside, and then the carriage headed in the other direction.
Soon, the carriage went straight and stopped at the gate of Taifu.
Liu Zhong got off the carriage first and ran to the door to say something. He immediately came back and hunched over waiting for Chen Jue to get off.
When the servants at Taifu's door heard that His Majesty was coming, they hurriedly ran to report to the master of the family.
But before he could see the head of the family, he was intercepted halfway.
"Why are you running so fast in a panic?" Wang Yuanqi frowned and asked.
Outside the door, I saw Mr. Sanlang, who has always been good-tempered. He took a breath and said, "Go back to Mr. Sanlang, Your Majesty is here."
"What!"
When he heard that His Majesty was coming, Wang Yuanqi was shocked and hurriedly walked out.
Before taking two steps, Wang Yuanqi saw the young emperor appearing in front of him.
"Your Majesty, sir!" Realizing his identity, Wang Yuanqi walked up quickly and saluted.
"Wang Sanlang, please forgive me."
Chen Jue raised his eyes and landed on Wang Yuanqi.
I saw that his face was not very good, and he seemed to have no energy.
Then he asked with concern, "Wang Sanlang didn't sleep well because of Taifu's illness?"
"How is your health, Master?"
When he mentioned his father, Wang Yuanqi sighed heavily and looked heavy.
Seeing this, Chen Jue knew that the Taifu's health seemed to be really bad.
Yesterday, he asked the imperial doctor to come and take care of the Taifu. When the imperial doctor came back, he told him that the Taifu did not have much time left.
"The Taifu once taught me a lesson. Today I came out of the palace to visit the Taifu."
Chen Jue coughed a few times, and his pale face turned a little red due to the cough just now.
"Wang Sanlang, please lead the way." He said slowly.
Wang Yuanqi nodded and led Chen Jue to the entrance of the main courtyard.
The two walked into the inner room where the Taifu lived in the main courtyard, and saw an old man playing chess with the woman in blue sitting opposite.
The old man also held a book in his other hand.
This old man is the head of the Wang family, and the person Chen Jue is coming to meet today - Taifu Wang.
"Father, why are you playing chess with Yuanyuan again?" Wang Yuanqi said as he walked to Taifu Wang's bedside.
There was a low stool on the side of the bed. Before he could sit down, Taifu Wang chased him away in disgust.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning? Leave quickly, leave quickly."
Taifu Wang glanced at him, showing disgust and not wanting to talk to him.
Then he pulled the woman across from him to prevent her from getting up and leaving.
"Good girl, let's play a game with daddy." Taifu Wang promised: "Daddy will definitely beat you this time!"
The tone sounds a bit like coquettishness, which is really unexpected for the head of the family.
"..." Wang Yuanqi's face twitched, and he turned slightly to look at His Majesty behind him.
well! My father’s ever-lasting reputation!
He looked back at his father, who insisted on dragging Yuanyuan to play chess, and decided what to do to restore his father's image in His Majesty's heart.
So, Wang Yuanqi spoke at this moment and said: "Father, Your Majesty is here to see you."
After speaking, he turned slightly to reveal Chen Jue.
In the room, Taifu Wang and another woman did not expect His Majesty to appear here, and they were both slightly startled.
Then he looked behind Wang Yuanqi in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming from afar, so I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me..."
Taifu Wang looked excited. As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and prepared to get up, wanting to go down to the ground to salute.
However, Taifu Wang is not in good health, and the more anxious he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.
Just as Taifu Wang was about to stand up, he fell forward without center of gravity.
Fortunately, Chen Jue, who has quick eyes and quick hands, strode forward to catch him.
"We are outside the palace this time, so you don't have to be polite, Taifu." Chen Jue said, while helping Wang Taifu stand firm before letting go.
"How about that?"
Taifu Wang smiled and insisted on saluting Chen Jue, "There is a difference between the king and his ministers, so the etiquette cannot be discarded."
The Wang family attaches great importance to etiquette and rules. It can be said that they have "etiquette and rules" engraved in their bones.
Seeing Taifu Wang's insistence, Chen Jue had no choice but to let him go.
Taifu Wang stood firm, straightened his clothes, and greeted Chen Jue respectfully.
After the ceremony, Mrs. Wang sat on the edge of the bed with the support of her daughter, and asked worriedly: "Why did your Majesty leave the palace today?"
"It's not safe outside the palace. When Your Majesty leaves the palace, do you have some guards with you?"
"Not yet."
Chen Jue shook his head, "I heard that Taifu was not in good health, so I came out of the palace to see Taifu."
Hearing that His Majesty came out specifically to see him, the Taifu was very excited, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My body is just like this.
Your Majesty should pay more attention. Although government affairs are important, don't get tired. "
"Um."
Chen Jue nodded, took a sip of the tea brought by the maid just now, and his eyes slowly fell on the woman next to the Taifu.
The woman is as beautiful as if she came from a painting of a lady.
She stood upright next to Taifu Wang, looking straight at Chen Jue without being humble or overbearing.
