Li Qing's first thought was: This little bastard betrayed me!
Then I thought, if Wang Shouren had told the truth, Wang Hua would not be questioning him, but would be asking for help.
After all, he didn't ask Wang Hua for his opinion.
Li Qing felt confident and smiled lightly: "No."
"Really?" Wang Hua was suspicious.
"certainly!"
Li Qing's ability to open his mouth was honed over time, and he didn't blush or breath. To Wang Hua's surprise, he thought he was wrong.
He, a humble gentleman, had no idea how sinister Li Qing was.
Li Qing explained with a smile: "When the current emperor ascended the throne, the emperor went out to visit the great rivers and mountains. The son happened to be on the way and accompanied the emperor along the way. During this period, the emperor had a good impression of him. Now that the prince is growing up, he is in the beginning stage of studying. , the Supreme Emperor thought of Xiaoyun."
After a pause, he added: "These are all what I heard from the Supreme Emperor when I was treating him."
He believed that he could not defeat Wang Hua, so he should not admit it easily.
"It's been so many years, but the Supreme Emperor still remembers it?" Wang Hua frowned. Of course he knew this, but he still couldn't understand it.
After such a long time, and his son has not entered the official career, how can the Supreme Emperor still remember it?
Li Qing saw his confusion and smiled: "At that time, Xiaoyun left a deep impression on the Supreme Emperor."
"What?"
Does being chased by a monk count? Li Qing touched his nose and said humbly: "I can't remember clearly. If Mr. Wang wants to know, it would be better to ask the Supreme Emperor."
"..."
Wang Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "Mr. Li, you and Quanzi are close friends. You know his character, so how can he be so talented?
He himself is unruly and has failed the exam twice. How can such a person be able to accompany the prince? Wang Hua's face was full of bitterness, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country. There is no room for carelessness in something that affects the Ming Dynasty's future plans!" "
He revealed his true purpose and said sincerely: "Physicians heal the country at the top, heal people with Chinese medicine, and heal diseases at the bottom. This is called the way of medicine;
Sir, he is a doctor!
Wang considers himself to be a good judge of people. Although he is not a member of the imperial court, he has the heart to heal the country. For such a big matter, I would like to ask him... to help advise the Supreme Emperor. "
At the end of the sentence, Wang Hua was ashamed.
This was his first time asking someone for help.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "Master Wang thinks too highly of me, so I am just a charlatan, worrying about the country and the people... It is not my responsibility, I am not in my position, and I do not seek political advice..."
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. How can you think so, sir?" Wang Hua said urgently, "Today is the deadline. If we can't get the Supreme Emperor to take back his life, the situation is a foregone conclusion. I'm afraid it will be irreversible!"
Li Qing still said the same thing: "I'm sorry, I'm just a charlatan, but I can't take care of this matter. Please come back, Mr. Wang."
"..."
Wang Hua wanted to persuade him again, but Li Qing had already stood up and said, "Sir Wang, please."
"Oh, I'm sorry for bothering you." Wang Huaqiang forced out a smile, "Sir, there's no need to send it away."
Phew~ It can be said that he was fooled... Li Qing felt relaxed, but he felt a little guilty looking at Wang Hua's heavy back.
This matter is indeed unreasonable on his part.
He understood Lao Wang's mood, but he believed in Xiao Wang's ability even more.
Not long after Lao Wang left, Xiao Wang came.
Today, he is wearing a plain white robe with narrow sleeves, a turban on his head, a folding fan in his hand, and a good accent. In a trance, he has a sense of sight of the slut Li Hao.
Li Qing's face was full of surprise, and he laughed and said: "What happened today?"
Wang Shouren's shoulders slumped and he returned to his normal posture. He said with a grimace, "The preparation time given by the emperor is up. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to accompany the prince. To be honest, I am really nervous..."
He asked: "Sir, do you think I'm dressing up like this?"
"You don't have to be so deliberate, just do what you usually do when the time comes." Li Qing said with a smile, "You are not going on a blind date. Besides, the prince is still a child, so there is no need to be nervous."
"What you said is easy. He is the prince, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the future emperor!" Wang Shouren snorted, "How can I not be stressed? I haven't slept well these past few days."
"...The prince is also a human being, but he just has an extra layer of halo." Li Qing was speechless, "You don't have the confidence to guide a child, how can you still want to be a sage?"
Wang Shouren: "..."
"I understand the truth, but after all, he is the prince, and children are the most uncontrollable. I am afraid that if he is offended, my father will be harmed."
"The prince is ignorant, how can the emperor be ignorant?" Li Qing laughed, "The current emperor is kind and relies heavily on your father. Being the prince's companion has always been a convenient way for promotion. I have never heard of being the prince's companion. You’re in trouble, you’re totally worrying too much.”
"Oh, I hope so." Wang Shouren sighed and asked, "Sir, I will just accompany the prince to study, and you don't need to worry about anything else, right?"
"How can I ignore it? I let you be the prince's companion so that you can guide him correctly." Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, let's get familiar with him first. After we understand the prince's temperament, we can provide targeted guidance..."
After a pause, he added: "The little prince is still a child at heart. Don't be forceful. Coaxing and guidance will be more effective."
"Okay," Wang Shouren nodded and asked, "What do I need to change about my appearance?"
Li Qing was amused: "Don't take the fan, it's not hot at this time."
"Any more?"
"Well... you are darker and are not suitable for wearing plain white robes. It would be better to change the color." Li Qing suggested.
It hurts my heart... Wang Shouren said dullly, "Is there more?"
"No." Li Qing enlightened him, "It's not you giving the lecture, why should you be nervous if you just listen?"
"The problem doesn't happen to you...well, but you are different." Wang Shouren smiled bitterly, "Forget it, there is no need to look forward and backward when it is a foregone conclusion."
"This is the Xiaoyun I know." Li Qing nodded with a smile, "Let's go, let's have some drinks."
"become."
…
They were all old friends, so they didn't have any particular requirements. They had one meat and one vegetarian dish to go with the wine, and the two of them started drinking.
"Sir, Your Majesty...after that, you will go to Cochin, right?"
"Well, I have to go."
"Then what?"
"I haven't thought about the details yet, but I will generally focus on business development." Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I may also go overseas. I have long wanted to know about overseas countries."
Wang Shouren nodded and sighed: "In that case, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to get together again for a long time."
"Haha... you are still young, and you will have plenty of time in the future." Li Qing said with a smile, "I have been very busy these years. After returning from Jiaozhi, I won't get busy so quickly. I still want to take some time off and relax."
"I'll have to come to the capital then!" Wang Shouren said, "Now that I'm tied up here, I don't have time to relax with you."
"Definitely." Li Qing nodded with a smile and said, "The ugly words are ahead. If you fail the exam next time, I will really beat you up."
"...It's like you've never been beaten before." Wang Shouren muttered, "Don't worry, I'll go all out this time."
If you can't even pass the Jinshi exam, how can you be a sage?
Wang Shouren has an out-of-touch character, but he is not ignorant of the world. He must take the Jinshi exam, not only for his father, for his promise to Li Qing, but also for himself.
…
After finishing the food and drinking the wine, Wang Shouren relaxed his nervous mood and joked:
"I haven't been inside the palace yet. How is it inside?"
"It's just some palaces and some people, not much." Li Qing said lazily, "You'll know when you go there, that's all."
Wang Shouren asked: "Sir, when do you always enter the palace to diagnose and treat the Supreme Emperor?"
"I can't tell, just go as soon as you wake up." Li Qing joked, "You are not a child on the first day of school, so you still need someone to accompany you?
Besides, isn’t there still your father? "
"He is bothering me now. I don't dare to go with him." Wang Shouren shook his head and added, "If you are free tomorrow, you can come over and help me calm down."
"No problem." Li Qing agreed.
After all, he was the prince and the future emperor, so it was understandable that Wang Shouren was nervous.
…
at dusk.
Zhu Wanqing finally woke up. After sleeping for nearly six hours, she washed her face and felt energetic.
"Uncle Li, do you have anything to eat?"
"hungry?"
"Well, I can eat a cow if I'm hungry." Zhu Wanqing felt relieved and had a great appetite.
Li Qing said: "Let's go out to eat."
~
restaurant,
Zhu Wanqing ate happily, her mouth was full of oil, and she took a sip of wine from time to time, like a hungry wolf. There was no trace of the Li family talking about others.
"Look at you, no one is trying to rob you." Li Qing sipped his wine with a look of doting on his face.
Zhu Wanqing finally came out and no longer regretted it.
As an elder, he is naturally happy.
He regrets a lot, but he doesn't want the younger generations to be like him.
Unexpectedly, this time he came to Beijing and got something extra... Li Qing smiled happily.

The next day, the side hall of Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Houzhao came to the temporary school early and waited expectantly for the arrival of classmate Wang.
He didn't wait long. Soon, Wang Shouren walked in under the guidance of an internal official.
"Wang Shouren meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No gifts, no gifts." Zhu Houzhao waved his little hand, "Come here and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Shouren calmed down when he saw the prince acting like this. He walked forward and sat down next to the prince.
Zhu Houzhao looked at him and nodded his chin, "Wang Shouren, um... what a strange name. Do you know what my name is?"
Of course I know...Wang Shouren followed him and said, "Prince, please tell me."
"Zhu Houzhao!" The little guy puffed out his chest, "How about it, is it better than your name?"
"Of course." Wang Shouren sneered, cursing in his heart: Putting aside the royal status, your name is weirder than mine, okay?
Zhu Houzhao put his little hand on his shoulder and said boldly: "You don't have to feel inferior. I will give you a nice one."
Wang Shouren's face turned green.
I've had this name for 20 years, can I change it if you want?
Wang Shouren quickly changed the subject and asked, "Your Highness, when will the class start?"
"Soon." Zhu Houzhao replied, suddenly thinking of something fun, and said excitedly, "Wang Shouren, let's tease Teacher Yang later, shall we?"
Wang Shouren: (⊙o⊙)…
