Zhu Wanqing felt even more guilty and burst into tears, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Of course you're wrong!" Li Qing scolded, "Not only is it wrong, but it's also stupid!
Why do you know he knows?
That's because he's trying to enlighten you!
He didn't know what he said, would you know that he knew it? Li Qing said angrily, "He knew clearly that if he said it, you would know that he knew, but he still said it;
People are honest and kind-hearted, but you are always evil and courageous. What's the truth? "
"I..." Zhu Wanqing said aggrievedly, "He is so smart, almost as smart as you, Uncle Li. He is... so smart that it's scary."
"You..." Li Qing poked her forehead with his finger, pointing at Zhu Wanqing and retreating repeatedly, "You, you, I still think you are a smart person..."
"Okay, how can you behave like a grown man and still crying?" Li Qing finally relented, "Go back to your room."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Wanqing wiped her tears, "Uncle Li, you should also rest more."
…
The next day, Changle Palace.
"What? Let that kid be my eldest grandson's companion? How can this be possible?" Zhu Jianshen was anxious, "You know how unreliable that kid is. If you want him to be a companion for thick photos, you have to lead him into trouble. It won't work. No."
Li Qing was speechless: "Look at what you said, it sounds like your eldest grandson is more reliable..."
"I don't care about that, that guy is not good anyway." Zhu Jianshen snorted, "That kid has an out-of-touch personality. Although he has talents, he is really not the material to be a companion."
"Do you think I will harm your eldest grandson?"
Zhu Jianshen said sarcastically: "That's not true. I know you have good intentions, but Wang Shouren... he can fight with a monk. How reliable do you think he is?"
"...There was no fight."
"Is there any difference?" Zhu Jianshen snorted, "Even if you want to find a companion for the prince, the Hanlin Academy will be exhausted. Even if it doesn't work, there will be the Imperial College. What advantage does Wang Shouren have?"
"His father is Wang Hua, a man of outstanding talent and good conduct..." Li Qing piled up rhetoric and said it in a dazzling way.
There is no way, Wang Shouren can't get anything practical based on the paper data, so he can only brag about it.
The idea that a tiger father has no dog sons has always been popular.
However, Zhu Jianshen had met Wang Shouren and spent a long time with him. In Zhu Jianshen's impression, Wang Shouren was a talented person. However, his personality was not suitable for being the prince's companion.
He was afraid that Wang Shouren would lead his eldest grandson into trouble.
Li Qing said seriously: "You think I didn't think of what you thought of? Do you think I don't see people as well as you do? Do you think I would make fun of the prince's education?"
"I..." Zhu Jianshen said bitterly, "Of course I know your painstaking efforts, but..."
"He is suitable!" Li Qing said seriously, "At least at this stage, I can't find anyone better or more suitable."
Zhu Jianshen was silent for a long time and sighed: "Then let's try it. I'll talk to Youtang later."
Li Qing chuckled and nodded: "Lie down, it's time for acupuncture."
"..."

"Your Majesty, are you reading with the Crown Prince?" Wang Hua stood up from the ground, his face full of disbelief, as if he was in a dream, "Um, father-in-law, is there an error in this imperial edict?"
"That's what the holy will is. Congratulations to Mr. Wang." The imperial envoy who conveyed the decree rubbed the pad of his thumb against the pad of his index finger with a flattering smile.
Wang Hua was a modest gentleman, but he also knew these unwritten rules. He hurriedly took a piece of silver and handed it over. He confirmed again,
"Eunuch, does the emperor really want Quanzi to be the prince's companion?"
"Haha... The imperial edict is in your hands. If Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, you will know it at a glance." The imperial envoy accepted the money, his attitude became more kind, and said auspicious words as usual, "Young master is talented and knowledgeable. He will definitely be like Mr. Wang one day. In this way, you will get the top score in the exam."
"Uh-huh..." Wang Hua smiled unnaturally. His son had already failed the exam twice. Not to mention the number one scholar, he would be satisfied if he could get a second or third place, not to mention the top pick.
After seeing off the imperial envoy, Wang Hua was still confused. It was not until he read the contents of the imperial edict that he confirmed it was correct.
At this time, his expression suddenly changed, and his joy disappeared.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Hua ignored him, as if his butt was on fire, he jumped three feet high and slapped his thigh, "Oh no, how can this little bastard be the prince's companion!?
It’s broken, it’s broken, it’s broken…”
Wang Shouren's face turned dark, "Father, it's so hurtful to say that...Father, father, where are you going?"
Wang Hua seemed unable to hear, and rushed out the door with his legs open. His serious appearance was completely different from usual, and there was no hint of a humble gentleman.
By the time Wang Shouren chased him out, Wang Hua had already left the end of the alley and no one was in sight.

Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang rarely had any leisure time. He sat in front of the imperial examination case and held his son's hand to teach him how to practice calligraphy. He was very serious about every stroke.
At this time, the eunuch from the outer palace came with small steps and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, Wang Hua from the Ministry of Rites would like to see you."
Zhu Youtang paused his hand, causing the ink to be smeared, making the little guy's face become displeased, "Father, look at you."
"Haha... I'll just rewrite it later." Zhu Youtang patted his son's little head, "Come down, my father is going to see his ministers."
"Oh." Zhu Houzhao stuck out his little butt, jumped off his father's lap, and said with a smile, "Father, where did I go to play?"
"Are you still having fun?" Zhu Youtang lowered his face and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere. We will continue later."
After a pause, he raised his chin to the young eunuch, "Xuan."
Russian qing,
Wang Hua came in and lifted up his hem, "I'd like to see you, long live the emperor, and your highness, the prince."
"Without courtesy." Zhu Youtang asked with a smile, "Wang Aiqing is here just to accompany your son in reading?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Hua just stood up and hurriedly handed over his hand, "Your Majesty, the dog has a naughty character and is wild and unruly. It is really not suitable to be the prince's companion. I am afraid that he will lead the prince astray, so please..."
"Father, are you the one who accompanies me to study?"
Zhu Houzhao spoke, and Wang Hua had to stop.
Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded: "Do you want a companion reading?"
"I think about it, I think about it so much." Zhu Houzhao was so excited that he shook his father's hand, "I want to have a companion to read with, so that I won't be bored when I study in the future, okay?"
"Okay, okay..." Zhu Youtang nodded happily, with a kind face. Then he felt that it was inappropriate to be so pampering in front of his ministers, so he cleared his throat and said:
"Okay, don't mess around."
Zhu Youtang looked at Wang Hua and said warmly: "The choice of the crown prince's companion was decided by the Supreme Emperor. The tiger father has no dogs. Aiqing comes from a scholarly family. He has profound knowledge and is the number one scholar. I also have confidence in your son."
"emperor……"
"I know you have concerns and are afraid of getting into trouble." Zhu Youtang raised his hand and pressed down, "The prince is a bit naughty, but he also knows right from wrong, so there is no need to be afraid."
After a pause, "It's just a different place to study. It's not the same anywhere. It won't affect his imperial examination. I'm worried too much."
"My prince is easy to talk to." Zhu Houzhao puffed out his chest and raised his face, "Don't worry, I won't bully him."
Wang Hua sighed with bitterness in his heart: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you don't know how naughty the dog is... If he serves as the Crown Prince's companion, not only will it not make the Crown Prince progress, but it will actually affect the Crown Prince's studies!"
No one knows more about his son than his father. As a father, he knows very well the virtues of a son.
You want your son to be the prince's companion, but you are not allowed to lead the prince into a ditch?
Wang Hua bowed again and said: "Every word of what I have said is true. I hope the emperor will think twice."
Zhu Houzhao was unhappy, "Is this prince the kind of person who is easily influenced by others?"
"Uh..." Wang Hua hesitated and said, "Of course not."
"Isn't that what it is?" Zhu Houzhao snorted and turned to his father, "Father, it's too boring for my son to study alone, so let this prince, the number one scholar, be my companion?" "
"Well, good." Zhu Youtang smiled, "How can the emperor take back his golden words?"
"emperor……"
"Okay." Zhu Youtang interrupted him and said, "The Emperor will worship his ancestors in two days. I will also write Wang Aiqing's name later."
"emperor……"
"Step back." Zhu Youtang waved his hands, looking unhappy.
Seeing this, Wang Hua did not dare to shirk anymore, "Wei Chen resigned."
After leaving the palace gate, he looked up to the sky, filled with pain...
Son, why do you think you were targeted by the Supreme Emperor?
~
After two days of intensive recuperation, Zhu Jianshen's strength was obviously different, and he looked very energetic.
At nine o'clock, the honor guard set off from the Meridian Gate and marched all the way...
Zhu Wanqing is also among them.
She followed Li Qing closely, her face full of nervousness and excitement.
"Calm down." Li Qing said softly.
"Yes." Zhu Wanqing nodded and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it going to be the end of the day?"
"Definitely," Li Qing laughed. "It's already afternoon when we get there, and with the complicated but necessary ceremony, the most we can do today is a Changling Tomb."
"Oh." Zhu Wanqing counted on her fingers. It would take several days to get to her father's Yuling house.
"Da...can he hold on?"
"Didn't I follow you here? It's not a big problem." Li Qing smiled and said, "Relax, don't look so distracted that others may look at you and think that our medical skills are not good."
"..."
Uncle Li was in the mood to joke, but she was not at all.
…
As Li Qing expected, it was already afternoon when they arrived at the imperial mausoleum.
Li Qing and his wife moved into the palace as doctors of the Supreme Emperor.
After running all the way, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Li Qing said: "Let's do this for today. We will start worshiping our ancestors tomorrow. There is no rush now."
Zhu Jian sighed deeply and did not show off.
After some acupuncture and some decoction, Zhu Jianshen felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.
After he fell asleep, the uncle and nephew left the dormitory and came outside to get some fresh air.
As night falls, the cool autumn wind blows cool and refreshing on the body. The surroundings are full of guards and sergeants, solemn and solemn, and the atmosphere is oppressive.
The uncle and nephew walked away a little, and then they started talking.
"Uncle Li, do you think I can worship in front of the mausoleum?"
"Your eldest brother has agreed, so there won't be any problems. Besides, there are only a few officials here, so it's not as difficult as you think." Li Qing patted her shoulder, "Don't think about that, have a good sleep." I'm still busy tomorrow."
