After finishing his work, Li Qing went to the palace.
Not long after returning, more than a dozen Jin Yiwei rushed over and delivered more than 20 baskets of top-grade fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, enough for three people to eat until the first month of the year.
Zhang Sulu praised: "This emperor is very good at getting things done, much better than the one at home."
"... Master, please keep your voice down." Li Qing glanced at Li Hong who was boxing in the courtyard and said helplessly, "This matter cannot be brought to the table. If one more person knows, the risk will be increased. "
"He can't hear me." Zhang Sloppy curled his lips, but didn't say much on the matter. Instead, he said: "Go and cook quickly. Don't waste dinner time. We can keep our stomachs full."
Li Qingyile: "Okay, just take a look."
…
"Master, Hong'er is ready to eat." Li Qing set out the bowls and chopsticks and shouted.
"Here we come." Li Hong, who was learning boxing from Zhang Sloppy, responded and trotted over.
Due to the heavy amount of exercise, his face was slightly red, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, making him look even more handsome and handsome.
Vaguely, he looks like that arrogant young man who likes to hold a gold-painted fan and open and close it.
"Godfather, what's wrong with you?" Li Hong saw him staring at him blankly and touched his face, "But there is something dirty on the child's face?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing." Li Qing came back to his senses and said warmly: "Wash your hands."
"Hey, that's good."
The dinner was very sumptuous, and Li Qing's cooking skills were unparalleled. The old man and the young man ate deliciously.
Li Qing felt a great sense of satisfaction and chuckled: "This will be the standard every day from now on."
"Well... godfather's cooking is really delicious." Li Hong responded inarticulately and continued to put food into his mouth. óΠъ.oяＧ
At this age, when he is growing tall, he has a huge appetite, and he ate three rice bowls in a row before he was satisfied.

After dinner, Li Hong rushed to wash the dishes, and Li Qing followed him, chatting with his master in the living room.
"Master, how about the couple in Jinling?" Li Qing asked.
"It's good. The couple is having fun all day long." Zhang said sloppily, "Much happier than an old man like me."
"By the way, are you still busy now?"
"Uh...a bit." Li Qing said sarcastically, "I'm going to Liaodong after the first lunar month."
Zhang sloppy nodded: "How long will it take for you to be busy?"
"One or two years," Li Qing explained. "After these two years, it will be easier. I will do a good job in the front and follow the steps later. I can be replaced by others."
"Well." Zhang said sloppily, "After you have been busy for a while, you should take a rest. There are so many talents in such a big country. I won't stop working without you. Give yourself some time to relax."
After a pause, "You can go for a walk around, see the mountains and rivers, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and relax. You have been depressed for too long and you need to stop."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Disciples are used to it, it's nothing."
"Are you used to it?" Zhang Ruotie smiled bitterly, "How can you get used to it? Don't deceive yourself!"
Li Qing was silent.
Yes, how can you get used to it?
"Let's talk about it later. Let's finish the things in front of us first." Li Qing sighed and said, "By the way, Master, why don't we go to Liaodong after the year? With the couple here in Jinling, there is nothing to worry about."
"It's boring, I won't go!" Zhang Sloppy refused ruthlessly, "Jinling is so comfortable, why should I accompany you to Liaodong to live a hard life?"
"...Actually, Liaodong is not that bad now." Li Qing's face was filled with black lines.
Zhang sloppily asked: "How about Jinling?"
"No." Li Qing was speechless.
Not to mention Liaodong, there are not many in the entire Ming Dynasty that can compare with Jinling.
"Then I won't go. Just go to Jinling and find me when you're done." Zhang said sloppily, "I'm used to Jinling and I don't want to move anywhere again."
Li Qing said sadly: "Okay, I'll go find you when I'm done."
Then, he asked worriedly: "Master, are you feeling well?"
"Relax, it won't be a problem to live for another ten years or so." Zhang said with a sloppy smile.
But Li Qing couldn't laugh. In the past, the little old man always said, "It won't be a problem to live for another few decades," but now he only has about ten years left.
Time flies so fast!
What makes Li Qing even more uncomfortable is that he can heal others and extend their lives, but Master...he can't do anything.
This feeling of counting down is really painful.
Ten years is already a long time for ordinary people, but for Li Qing, it passed by inadvertently.
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Zhang Sloppy gave him rare comfort: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not always been the same. I don't only have one or two years left. I have a chance for you to fulfill your filial piety."
"Hmm..." Li Qing nodded slightly.

Keeping vigil on New Year’s Eve,
In the ninth year of Jingtai, I received a red envelope on the first day of the new year.
When I come back, I give red envelopes to my godson, cook, eat, chat, and steal books at night...it's very ordinary and very warm.
In a flash, it’s time to eat Yuanxiao again.
The glutinous rice balls with sesame filling made by Li Qing himself were so soft, glutinous and sweet that Li Hong even drank the soup.
After the New Year, the old man and the young man stayed for a few more days and then drove the carriage back to Jinling. Li Qing was the only one left in the small courtyard.
Time passes ruthlessly, which is helpless.
…
On this day, Li Qing was ordered to enter the palace.
It turned out that Sun was ill and was not feeling well after taking the imperial doctor's medicine, so he thought of Li Qing.
Li Qing didn't like her at all, but he couldn't refuse, so he pretended to look around, then frowned and said nothing, thinking about making up a reason.
Mrs. Sun was frightened and asked hurriedly: "What disease do I have?"
"The Queen Mother is fine." Li Qing sighed, his brows still furrowed.
In fact, Mrs. Sun did not have any serious illness, but the cold was not cured, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor was too mild. In addition, she was old and inactive all day long, which resulted in weakness and loss of appetite.
Li Qing was telling the truth, but his expression scared Sun.
"If you have something to say about Li Qing's family, you might as well say it directly." Mrs. Sun said in a trembling voice, "I can bear it."
"..." Li Qing thought mischievously: If he told her that he had an incurable disease, would he scare her to death?
Come to think of it, this kind of lie can be easily exposed. After all, those imperial doctors are still capable, but they are not treating diseases, but people and the world.
Before treating a disease, always think about whether your head will fall to the ground as a result.
Mr. Sun is already fifty-eight. At this age, how can an imperial doctor dare to prescribe strong medicine?
If you drink your own medicine and get banged up, your head will definitely not be saved, so the medicines they prescribe are very mild. Not to mention whether it can cure the disease, at least you won't die if you drink it.
Generally speaking, as long as people enter the hospital, their medical skills will plummet.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Take some time to rest and take medicine on time. You will be fine." Li Qing muttered, "The medicines prescribed by the imperial doctor are very suitable for the Queen Mother's condition. I asked you to prescribe these medicines."
"Li Qing's family, I treat you well." Sun said bitterly. She was such a shrewd person, how could she not see that Li Qing did not want to treat her.
Sun sighed: "Now that the civil strife in the grassland continues, what is the situation of the Supreme Emperor... It's hard to say whether he is dead or alive. Maybe he has... Alas!"
She said with bitterness and sullenness: "If the Emperor is still here, how dare Wala repeatedly attack the Tatar opponent? This is obviously the Emperor..."
Mrs. Sun paused and then said, "The prince has not grown up yet, and his father left long ago. We can't live without my grandma anymore!"
Li Qing was speechless: For now, you, the Queen Mother, have no weight. With or without you, what difference does it make to him?
Besides, it's not like she has no mother, and she has a lot of servants to serve her. I think it would be proper for you to accompany Zhu Zhanji earlier.
"Li Qing's family, I know that you have excellent medical skills, so you gave me a prescription." Mrs. Sun was a little annoyed, but it was about her life, and she didn't dare to have an attack, so she had to hold back and said, "I am not a stingy person. Your consultation fee is indispensable."
"...Okay." Li Qing nodded and wrote down a prescription, a prescription with very mild medicinal effects.
Regardless of whether the disease is cured or not, eating it will not kill anyone.
Sun regarded it as a treasure and quickly ordered people to prepare the medicine according to the prescription.
It was a matter of life, and she didn't dare to break her promise. Maybe she would need Li Qing in the future, so she gave Li Qing one hundred taels of gold in the name of a reward.
Li Qing will naturally not be polite.
After leaving the palace, he met Yu Qian who was rushing home from the East Palace not far away.
One of them was riding a horse and the other was riding a donkey, chatting while walking.
"Did the lecture go well? Is the prince still...smart?"
Now that the prince is eleven years old, it can be seen that Li Qing still cares about this prince. After all, he is the future monarch.
