Small courtyard.
Li Qing entered the door and bolted the door. As soon as he turned around, Zhu Wanqing came to greet him.
"Why didn't you rest?"
"Can't sleep." Zhu Wanqing forced a smile, "As soon as I lay down on the bed, my mind couldn't stop spinning. I was confused and didn't know what I was thinking, haha..."
Li Qing said: "Do you miss your parents?"
Zhu Wanqing was silent for a moment and nodded, "Well, I miss them. I'm sorry for them."
Li Qing didn't know what to say. When Queen Qian passed away, as her daughter, she couldn't be by her side. After that, Zhu Qizhen... Although she was by his side, she couldn't worship in front of the mausoleum afterwards.
So far, she has never been to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to her parents, so one can imagine her sadness.
"Alas..." Li Qing sighed, "Your eldest brother is going to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors in two days, and you will come with him then."
Zhu Wanqing was shocked at first, then pleasantly surprised, "Can I do it?"
"You can come and join us, but serious worship is probably not allowed." Li Qing said, "Tomorrow you will come with me to the palace as my assistant. You, brother and sister, can discuss the specific details, maybe. "
"Hey, okay." Zhu Wanqing nodded heavily, "Uncle Li, as your assistant... is that okay? Do I want to learn some medical skills or something?"
Li Qing was speechless: "How can medical skills be achieved quickly? You don't have to worry about exposing your secrets. The doctors in the imperial hospital are afraid to avoid you, and they won't be too troublesome to test your level."
"Then, what do I do?" Zhu Wanqing asked.
Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Please help me cook the medicine."
"Okay." Zhu Wanqing's eyes filled with tears, "Uncle Li, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Li Qing laughed. "It was your elder brother who asked you to go to the Imperial Tomb with me. If you want to thank me, just thank him. Okay, stop crying and go rest."
"Brother..." Zhu Wanqing's tears fell, and then she said seriously, "Uncle Li also wants to thank you. If it weren't for you..."
"Okay." Li Qing raised his hand to interrupt her, "I really want to thank you. Come here if you can. Stop talking about these foreign things."
Zhu Wanqing wiped away her tears and nodded heavily.
…
Early in the morning.
Li Qingcai came out of the side room. Zhu Wanqing had finished washing up and prepared face wash for him.
"Uncle Li, go and wash up quickly. Let's enter the palace."
"Well." Li Qing simply washed up and took her out, "Don't be nervous, your eldest brother hasn't arrived yet."
After a pause, he added: "I'll have a good time this year."
Zhu Wanqing felt much relieved when he heard what he said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li."
"Again?"
"Uh..." Zhu Wanqing said bitterly, "My niece doesn't know what to say. I, I'm a little panicked."
Li Qing smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. It's not like you've never been to the palace before, so there's nothing to panic about."
"well…."
~
Changle Palace, the courtyard in front of the palace.
Uncle and nephew come in.
Zhu Jianshen is painting, Zhu Houzhao is crowded in front of the case, his big eyes are attentive, Ji and Shao are also there,
A peaceful atmosphere.
"The common people meet the Supreme Emperor."
Li Qing shouted loudly as he walked in, in order to help Zhu Wanqing avoid the ceremony.
"The daughter of the common people meets the Supreme Emperor." Zhu Wanqing was busy following his example.
"No courtesy." Zhu Jianshen's words rang out at the right time, which saved Zhu Wanqing from kneeling down.
Zhu Jianshen was very excited and did not stop when the two arrived. After another quarter of an hour, he put away the wolf hair and said proudly:
"how?"
"This painting is great."
"Wonderful, the Emperor's paintings have become even more refined."
Ji and Shao were very supportive.
Zhu Houzhao stared at the painting, looking left and right, and finally said: "It's round and beautiful."
"Hahaha..." Zhu Jianshen laughed proudly, then winked at Li Qing and took the initiative to lead him up the stairs, "Did Divine Doctor Li bring an assistant?"
"The Emperor is wise." Li Qing cupped his hand and said, "This is the apprentice of the grassroots."
"The daughter of the people pays homage to the Supreme Emperor, and pays homage to the two empresses." Zhu Wanqing saluted again.
Before his knees even bent, Zhu Jianshen said, "I've already said that I'm sorry, so there's no need to bow anymore."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Wanqing and said unhappily: "Didn't you see my prince?"
"..." Zhu Wanqing was speechless: Grandma was really angry to death.
"Xiao Ji, Xiao Shao, take Houzhao out, I'm going to receive treatment." Zhu Jianshen stretched his waist, "Doctor Li is giving acupuncture, and I don't want anyone to disturb me."
"Yes, I obey the order." The two looked dim, and Mrs. Ji took her grandson and walked out.
When passing by Zhu Wanqing, Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked, "Are you his apprentice?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, yes."
"You can be his mother, why do you want to take him as your teacher?" Zhu Houzhao looked puzzled.
Zhu Wanqing: (#￣～￣#)
Zhu Jianshen: (?｀?Д?′)!!
Li Qing: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Sir, please be patient." Zhu Jianshen's potential exploded. He quickly blocked Li Qing and turned around, "Take the little guy out quickly."
Ji, Shao, Zhu Houzhao, and several eunuchs in the courtyard all had expressions of disbelief and some could not believe it.
What's going on with Dr. Li?
Did he just want to beat the prince?
Is it an illusion?
…
Bedroom.
Apart from the three of them, there was no one else.
Zhu Jianshen complained: "Sir, what happened to you just now? It almost got out of hand. Do you understand?"
"Haha, that's my fault." Li Qing sneered again and again.
"...Okay, I'll talk about him next time." Zhu Jianshen said helplessly, "Tong Yan Wuji, why do you need to be as knowledgeable as him? What do you think Wanqing?"
Zhu Wanqing smiled noncommittally.
"Brother, are you okay?"
As soon as the words came out, she thought it was nonsense. If it was good, could Uncle Li bring her all the way here, but she really didn't know what to say.
Zhu Jianshen nodded with a smile: "I'm okay, I can eat and drink, but I'm a little weak."
Zhu Wanqing's eyes were red and she was silent.
"Well, it's not Li Qing's fault. I won't die." Zhu Jianshen smiled and said, "After I have nursed you back to health in two days, I will take you to worship your ancestors."
After a pause, "At that time, I will find a reason to take you to Yuling."
"Yes." Zhu Wanqing was happy but sad at the same time, "Thank you, brother."
"We are all a family, what are you talking about?" Zhu Jianshen chuckled, "Is everything okay at home?"
"It's good. Xiao Hao already has two sons and a daughter." Zhu Wanqing said, "The older one is about the same as a prince, and the younger one can also walk. Alas, with them chasing me, I won't be able to grow old!"
"Yes, how can the old one not grow old if the young one chases him away?" Zhu Jian was deeply convinced, and suddenly realized that Li Qing was still there, and turned to talk about other things.
The brother and sister don't get along much. If you really think about it, they got along for quite a long time when they were in Aurous Hill. However, they still have family ties without any conflicts of interest.
At the end of Chen time.
Seeing the eldest brother showing signs of fatigue, Zhu Wanqing said: "Brother, sister, go to the outer hall to boil some medicine and let Uncle Li give you acupuncture."
"Just let the servants do this." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, "You don't have to do anything, just talk with me."
"Idle time is also idle, the girl wants to do her best." Zhu Wanqing said.
"Let her come, otherwise this assistant's identity will arouse suspicion." Li Qing stood up and said, "I will explain the details to her. You go to bed first and wait for me to come back."

At the end of summer, the weather is still hot.
Zhu Wanqing gently fanned the cattail leaf fan and stared at the fire with all her concentration. Her face was red and her forehead was covered with sweat, but she didn't even notice it.
She rarely does one thing so focused...
Calculating that the time was up, Zhu Wanqing held the lid of the pot with a towel and opened it. As expected, Uncle Li's request was met. She quickly scooped up half a ladle of mountain spring water and poured it into the stove.
In an instant, smoke rose.
"Cough cough cough..." Zhu Wanqing choked to tears.
At this time, Li Qing came over.
"Is the medicine ready?"
"Ahem, okay, okay." Zhu Wanqing hurriedly went to get the medicine pot, but forgot to take a towel to insulate her from the heat. She cried out more tears.
"You are so old, but you are still frizzy..." Li Qing picked up the medicine pot and poured it into the jade bowl, "Well, the medicine is brewing well."
"Uh-huh... That's good." Zhu Wanqing nodded with a smile and put her blistered hand back into her sleeve.
"Master, go and ask the Supreme Emperor to take the medicine."
How could there be no one to monitor the decoction for the Supreme Emperor? Zhu Wanqing did not dare to call her eldest brother.
"Yeah." Li Qing glanced at her sleeves, said nothing, and entered the inner hall with the medicine...
"The medicine prepared by my sister is different. It's not that bitter." Zhu Jianshen smiled, put down the medicine bowl, and said, "Your new prescription is good. It feels warm in the stomach and feels very comfortable."
He shook his body and said, "I guess we can go to worship our ancestors in two or three days."
Li Qing asked: "Do we need to bring all the civil and military officials with us to worship our ancestors?"
"It can't be done without bringing along. How can we not bring along the court ministers for such an important matter?" Zhu Jian took a deep breath and said, "However, I don't want to make it too big. I will bring along a few officials from the Ministry of Rites, as well as the six ministries and nine ministers, and how many cabinet ministers will be brought along." A bachelor, no more than twenty people."
Li Qing nodded, "Let's stay here for today. I'll come back tomorrow. The medicine will be strong soon. If you feel sleepy, take a nap."
In the afternoon, you can play cards with your children, grandchildren, and your concubines, chat with them, etc., as long as you don't do strenuous exercise. "
Zhu Jianshen's time is short, so he naturally has to set aside time for him to spend time with his family.
As for him and Zhu Wanqing, the time for diagnosis is enough. After all, Zhu Jianshen is not the only one with Li Qing, sister.
"good."
~
Lianjiatun'er.
From afar, I saw Wang Shouren pacing at the door, holding half a leg of lamb in his hand.
Zhu Wanqing looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment, and said in surprise: "Uncle Li, who is that person?"
"The boy who was chased by the monk in Jinling last time."
"Is it him?" Zhu Wanqing remembered it immediately, "Uncle Li, does he know my secret?"
"Maybe." Li Qing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this guy's personality is a bit out of the ordinary, and his character is still trustworthy. Even if he guesses, he won't talk nonsense."
Zhu Wanqing relaxed a little.
At this time, Wang Shouren also noticed the two of them and hurriedly came up to greet them, saying:
"Sir, if the Emperor is like this, why are you still running away?"
Then, he hung the mutton around his neck and bowed to Zhu Wanqing again, "Mrs. Li, you are so polite."
"..." Zhu Wanqing twitched the corner of her mouth and returned the gesture, "You're welcome."
Wang Shouren asked: "Sir, is it convenient?"
"It's convenient. Let's go home first. I happen to have something to tell you."
