Chapter 173, Framed
As the end of the year approached, there were more banquets in the various prefectures in the capital. Not only that, there were three big banquets in the palace and two small banquets in two days.
Compared to last year's depression, this year's Chinese New Year, Wuchangbo Mansion is much more lively.
New Year's greetings and friends, after the end of the twelfth lunar month, the gate of the uncle's mansion can be said to be full of people, Mrs. Shi is so busy that she doesn't even touch the ground, and even Jin Yue'e, Mrs. Shi Wu, and Mrs. Shi Qi were arrested. They are the girls. , but also to see and entertain guests every day.
After returning home for more than a year, Shi Fuxin's family finally saw the festivities of the Lord's family during the Chinese New Year.
"It is said that the girls from rich families are thoughtful and generous. After years of training, as long as they are not stupid, they treat people well."
After chatting with a group of little girls all day, Shi Fuxin felt her cheeks go stiff.
Shi Fuyin smiled and said: "Everything in the world is only familiar with one's hands. If you do it a lot and get used to it, you will naturally become a master in the eyes of others. This is the same as our martial arts."
Shi Fuxin: "By the way, sister, what did the eldest aunt call you and the fourth sister to the side hall alone today?"
Hearing this, Shi Fuyin's face showed a trace of unnaturalness, but she didn't hide it in front of her sister: "Several families are asking about the situation of their sisters."
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin understood immediately, and said pleasantly, "Sister, someone proposed marriage to you?"
Shi Fuyin glanced at Shi Fuxin: "It's nothing, it's just that a few ladies mentioned a few words casually during the chat."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "My sister is so outstanding, there must be a wife who asked my aunt about you. But, sister, we are studying in the National Women's Prison, and we can discuss marriage after the age of eighteen. In the past few years, let's have a good relationship first. Look at it, don't be in a hurry to settle him down."
When Fuyin saw her sister speak so bluntly, she diluted some of her shyness: "I have already told my mother about this, and my aunt will go and talk about it."
Shi Fuxin couldn't keep teasing her sister, and changed the subject: "Tomorrow is the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. After the emperor seals the pen, brother can take a vacation. When he is free, let him take us to the countryside to hunt and listen to Du The girl from my family talked about how they enjoyed the snow and ate roast venison at home, and I was also greedy."
Shi Fuyin smiled. Except for morning exercises this year, she spent most of her time studying. It is true that she has not exercised her body well. She also really wants to go out and have fun.
Unfortunately, the wish of the two sisters failed to come true in the end.
"Brother, how many days off do you have for Chinese New Year?"
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Dingxuan was supposed to be on vacation, but he didn't return home until late at night, and Shi Fuxin didn't see him until the next day when he was having breakfast with Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e in Yiguiyuan .
Shi Dingxuan shook his head: "The vacation is cancelled."
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhenghe and the others all looked over.
"why?"
Shi Dingxuan took a look at Shi Fuxin: "Yesterday, just as the emperor announced the closure of the pen, the First Prince vomited blood in front of all the ministers in Qianqing Palace."
"The commander was worried that there would be other emergencies during the Chinese New Year, so he ordered the holidays of all the imperial guards to be postponed, and they have to be on duty in the palace this year."
Shi Fuyin showed concern: "Okay, why are you vomiting blood?"
Shi Dinghao: "That's right, didn't you say that the First Prince's health has improved greatly, and he will get married in February next year."
Shi Fuxin was silent and did not speak, and the cheap apprentice suddenly vomited blood, which should be caused by the person who made the Gu insects activate the Gu insects.
It seems that she has to find a time to quickly get rid of the Gu worms in the body of the cheap apprentice.
Hearing this, Shi Dinghao immediately stared and said: "Nonsense, will the imperial doctor see a doctor?"
The brothers and sisters of the Shi family all know that the First Prince is Shi Fuxin's apprentice, and they all know that Shi Fuxin has been secretly recuperating the First Prince's body, but Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e don't know.
Shi Zhenghe glared at his younger son: "What are you doing so excitedly? It has nothing to do with you. Eat well."
Shi Dinghao choked, and looked at Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin asked: "Is there more than one imperial doctor saying that?"
Shi Dingxuan nodded: "Yes, the emperor sent four imperial physicians to rectify the eldest prince. The four imperial physicians all said that the eldest prince has taken forbidden drugs and his health is very bad now. He needs to rest in bed in the mansion, otherwise hamper life."
Shi Zhenghe frowned: "It shouldn't be, on the day of the winter hunting, when the guard of honor came out of Zhengyang Gate, the patrol team and I saw the First Prince from a distance, and his energy and vigor did not seem to be due to any serious physical problems. ah."
Shi Dingxuan: "Since the second half of this year, the eldest prince has appeared in front of people more and more times, and often goes to the palace to see the emperor, and is stayed by the emperor to have dinner with him every now and then. This kind of favor... is something that the prince does not have." .”
"Furthermore, as the Eldest Prince's health improves, there have been voices in the court to allow the Eldest Prince to enter the court to participate in politics. The Emperor seems to be very optimistic about the Eldest Prince. He once said in front of the Crown Prince and all the ministers that after the Eldest Prince gets married, If you want him to help share the government affairs."
Shi Zhenghe heard something bright, and looked at the eldest son: "You mean, someone is jealous of the eldest prince and is deliberately trying to punish the eldest prince?"
Shi Dingxuan looked at Shi Fuxin again: "The status of the eldest prince is too special. The eldest son of the Empress Yuan is not only the first son, but also the elder."
Shi Fuxin took over the words: "It is the easiest target to be attacked by concentrated fire." No one of the princes headed by the prince wants to see the eldest prince enter the court and participate in politics
Shi Dingxuan nodded, and continued: "When you see blood during the Chinese New Year, some officials will immediately make a fuss about it, saying it is not a good omen or something."
"When I came back, the eldest prince who vomited blood and was unconscious had already been sent back to the mansion by the emperor. Seeing what the emperor meant, he wanted the first prince to rest in the mansion."
Even Jin Yue'e, who didn't understand the court situation, heard something was wrong, and immediately sighed: "It's so boring to be the emperor's son."
Said, with a look of rejoicing, "Fortunately, these things have nothing to do with our family. You are not allowed to talk about these things outside."
The four brothers and sisters looked at each other without speaking.
The Great Prince's Mansion.
Looking at the pale prince lying on the bed, Gao Changshou quickly took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and fed it to the prince.
After taking the medicine, the first prince's frown slowly relaxed a little.
It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that the eldest prince woke up faintly.
The eldest prince recalled what happened in Qianqing Palace, and raised his hand to cover his still aching chest: "I thought my body was almost recuperated, but I never thought that there is still a hidden illness."
If it weren't for the sudden onset of chest pain today, he wouldn't even know that he also has a heart problem.
The eldest prince smiled wryly, how many people had poisoned him before?
I was tortured by the venom of the ice snake for several years, and finally recuperated, and now a new problem has appeared.
After being silent for a while, the First Prince looked at Gao Changshou: "What did Emperor Father say?"
Gao Changshou: "The emperor ordered you to rest in the mansion."
The eldest prince sneered: "It seems that the father believed the words of the four imperial physicians, the four imperial physicians. In order to overthrow me, it is difficult for my younger brothers to join forces."
