Huang Chenling made an excuse and said: "Your health is important. The imperial doctor said that you need to take a good rest. Moreover, I have just sat on the throne. There are still many ministers who are not loyal to me in the court. During this time, I need to follow you carefully."
After they get used to it, they still need to spend more time on political affairs."
Wang Xiulin said arrogantly: "I won't listen. Everything you said is an excuse."
Huang Chenling sighed and said, "Okay, that's an excuse. Put down the scissors and calm down, okay? You haven't eaten yet, so I'll eat slowly with you."
Wang Xiulin took a deep breath, put down the scissors, and said impetuously: "In addition to eating, you also have to rest with me. You are not allowed to go out in the middle of the night."
Huang Chenling said: "Okay."
After hearing his promise, Wang Xiulin calmed down a little.
In the middle of the night, Huang Chenling quietly returned to the imperial study because the spies had a secret report.
It was Yan Rongyan who sent a spy back to deliver a letter to him, explaining to him the rebellion against the tribe there.
According to the content of the letter, the situation is not very optimistic. These tribes have also colluded with other small countries to carry out small actions at the border.
In the past few months, Yan Rongyan had followed his instructions and tried his best to deal with the tribal leaders, but in vain.
Huang Chenling felt that he could not hide in the palace without going over to understand the situation. The border was not stable and the country would not be unified. So, he silently decided that he needed to find time to go there in person.
On this day, Huang Fengmo came back to see Yan Ruozhen for treatment of frostbite on his toes.
"Wow, Your Highness, you have a lot of frostbite on your toes. How did you get like this? Aren't your boots warm?" Yan Ruocheng asked with a frown after checking.
"It's just that I kept myself too warm, so I got chilblains. It's very itchy. Please apply some ointment for me." Huang Fengmo felt that the toes of both feet were itchy and painful, as if they were bitten by ants. Recently, he always had to accompany him.
Huang Chenling watched the memorial together all day long, making his feet wrapped in boots and unable to breathe.
"The ointment only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You need to soak your feet in a medicinal bath to relax the meridians of your toes." Yan Ruocheng suggested.
"Then let's take a medicinal bath." Huang Fengmo agreed immediately.
"You have to soak it every day. Your Highness, you can't soak it every other day, or it won't be effective," Yan Ruocheng said.
"The worst thing is that I can't come to you every day. You don't want to go back to the palace with me." Huang Fengmo said helplessly.
"Your Highness, you can go back with the medicine bag and take a dip while working in the imperial study. Anyway, there is only the second prince. No, it's time to change your mind and become a saint. He won't embarrass you." Yan Ruocheng smiled.
said.
"You think, after this guy Chen Ling became the emperor, he was no longer as respectful to me as before. He opened his mouth and shut up because he was the emperor, so he had to listen to his opinions. Fortunately, he still had his own opinions and didn't listen to everything.
Just what the emperor said." Huang Fengmo said displeasedly.
"After all, he has just become the Holy Emperor, so please bear with him, Your Highness." Yan Ruocheng said with a slight smile.
"Right now, he is worried about things at the border. It seems that there is a war there. However, it will not affect the price of goods in the city. You don't need to worry about this." Huang Fengmo said unintentionally.
Yan Ruocheng said helplessly: "No matter how high or low the prices are, almost no one goes out in the cold weather now, and the business of the drug store is very cold. Brother Xian said that while the business is slow now, he wants to take Xiaoling and me there.
Collect some rare herbs suitable for growing in winter at Shibingshan Mountain. Stop by and enjoy the winter scenery."
"I'll send someone to accompany him to collect. You don't want to go, stay with me." Huang Fengmo said disagreeing.
"We are only going for half a month. Your Highness, I also want to see how some rare herbs grow in winter. And Xiaoling also wants to go for a visit. Let us go." Yan Ruocheng requested.
"Then I will accompany you too. I'm not worried." Huang Fengmo suggested.
"You leave, what if the Holy Emperor can't handle political affairs alone?" Yan Ruocheng said worriedly.
"Chen Ling should have to deal with it on his own. He can't have me by his side all his life. He should be allowed to be independent. Besides, I have so many chilblains on my feet and they itch so much that I don't have the time to accompany him.
Read the memorial." Huang Fengmo has made up his mind.
"Okay then. Let's go together." Yan Ruocheng had no choice but to agree.
In the hot spring pool of the palace.
Huang Chenling was so tired that she needed to take a bath in a hot spring.
Huan flashed in from the window, dressed in white snow, patting the snow tracks as he walked over, and reported to him: "It has been found that the assassins have sneaked into the imperial army in the palace. Do we need to deal with these people secretly?"
"It's not necessary at the moment. Let's see if they take action first. Don't scare the snake." Huang Chenling said.
"In addition, Ruo Li and the others plan to visit Shi Bingshan and leave the city for half a month." Huan continued to report.
"Shi Bingshan? There seems to be a rebel tribe camping over there. You can think of a way to prevent them from passing by. If you want them to stay in the city, they are not allowed to go anywhere." Huang Chenling ordered.
"Okay. It's boring for you to soak in the hot spring alone. Let me take a dip with you." Seeing that the hot spring water was warm, I couldn't help but want to take a dip to warm my body.
"Has Ruozhen mentioned me recently?" Huang Chenling asked again.
After Huan took off his clothes, he sat in the hot spring pool and soaked for a while before saying, "Occasionally."
Huang Chenling was a little happy and smiled slightly.
"When are you going to chase her back? Although I want you to give up and stop pestering her. But who told her to secretly look at your crappy purse every night? You know she still misses you.
"Huan Boring said.
"You have to wait until I take care of everything first. You can continue to observe that rotten purse. Help me get a new one for her. Don't let her deal with a rotten purse again." Huang Chenling said helplessly.
"It would be weird if she didn't beat me to death. I don't dare to change." Huan shook his head and said.
"I'll bring you a new one later. Go tell her that I embroidered it. She will definitely be very happy." Huang Chenling said with a chuckle.
"No way, you can also embroider purses?" Huan suddenly stared at him with an alien look.
"What's that look in your eyes? I'm smart because I know how to embroider purses. Besides, I think it represents my feelings. Otherwise, she won't be moved. I want to impress her heart again before she forgets me.
." Huang Chenling said with a plan in mind.
"I think she will look at you in a different light." Huan said hoarsely.
"What do you know? She will understand me. Just do as I do." Huang Chenling said confidently.
Huan shook his head, completely disagreeing with his idea.
In the evening, Yan Ruocheng was walking through the corridor with baked sweet potatoes.
Huan dodged down from the roof, jumped in front of her, and blocked her way with a cool posture.
"You're here just in time. Let's eat the sweet potato. I just roasted it and it's still very hot." Yan Ruocheng threw a sweet potato directly towards his handsome face.
The hot sweet potato was thrown directly in the middle of his face, "Wow, it's hot, it's hot! You want to burn me to death!" Huan said, pressing his handsome face that was reddened.
"Hey, it's cold, so you don't have to be slow, you can usually hide away." Yan Ruozhen said sarcastically.
"Didn't anyone tell you that I'm afraid of the cold? Let's talk about it after we enter the house. Hey, it's so cold." Huan shivered and hurriedly walked toward the house.
Yan Ruozhen asked his servants to bring sweet potatoes to Xian Jianlan and Xiaoling, while he and Huan sat in the side hall and chatted.
"Your tight-fitting night jacket is so thin, so of course it won't keep you warm." She said horribly when she saw that Huan was still wearing the usual night jacket.
"There's nothing you can do about it if you wear too much clothes and can't move flexibly. Why don't you develop some pills that keep you warm after taking them? That would help me." Huan said helplessly while eating sweet potatoes.
"Your suggestion is good, but wait until I have time. Hehe, by the way, in a few days I will go to Shi Bingshan with Brother Xian to collect herbs. It will take half a month to get back." Yan Ruocheng explained.
Plan your own itinerary, lest he comes and your journey is in vain.
"I know, this is for you." Huan threw the purse embroidered by Huang Chenling to her.
Yan Ruocheng caught it and looked at it. It was a beautifully embroidered lotus purse with a thousand taels of silver note inside. He asked with a smile: "Why did you give me the purse? It's so generous."
A thousand taels."
Huan bit the sweet potato and explained: "I didn't give it to you, it was given to you by the guy sitting on the dragon chair. He embroidered it himself."
"Hey! Isn't it? Is his craftsmanship so good?" Yan Ruocheng was surprised to see clearly the embroidery on the purse. She couldn't tell that it was done by a man. It was more exquisite than her. And she didn't know it at all.
I know Huang Chenling still has this skill.
"You may be surprised, you may be happy, you may even be touched. When he handed it over to me, he looked successful, confident, and confident." Huan continued to rant.
"I don't have one. What's so rare about a mere embroidered purse? I'll just accept it. Fortunately, he stuffed a thousand taels of silver notes in it, otherwise I wouldn't want it." Yan Ruocheng looked at her face and huffed.
said.
"Okay, just keep acting like this. I'll go back and report your reaction to him." After Huan finished one sweet potato, he wanted to pick up another one.
Yan Ruozhi quickly pressed the sweet potato to prevent him from taking it away, and said: "Don't tell him that I took his purse, and you just said that I took it and threw it away. In short, don't say that I took it from him."
purse."
"You can deceive him, but you can't deceive your own heart. You obviously can't forget him in your heart." Huan slapped her hand away, picked up the sweet potato and continued to eat.
"I need time to forget about him, just do as I say." Yan Ruocheng said simply.
"Okay, I'll do it." Huan agreed casually.
On this day, Huang Chenling was still in the hot spring pool, waiting for Huan to come and report the news about Yan Ruocheng. He wholeheartedly believed that Yan Ruocheng would be shaken in her heart after receiving the purse he embroidered, and she would never forget him.
