The Wife Is First

5Chapter 5 Fever

Divorce letter? Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You are a man, divorce will not affect your reputation, but your concubine will still not be able to take the exam. Even if I let you go, you will have no chance of taking the exam in this life."

"Then how are you doing?" Mu Hanzhang sat up and looked at him coldly. If this man wanted to torture him, he would not stand and be beaten.

"I can't inherit the throne, and you can't take part in the examination, so we're even." Jing Shao said confidently in his slightly magnetic voice.

"...Huh?" Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a long time. There were cracks in his cold handsome face. He opened his mouth half-open in a silly manner. He felt as if he was being pinched by the neck and lifted high into the air, and then thrown to the soft cushion... …

Jing Shao saw the man's dazed look and found it amusing. Just as he was about to reach out and poke him, Mengxi's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the princess's medicine is ready."

Jing Shao frowned and asked Mengxi to bring the medicine in. Mu Hanzhang calmed down his expression and lowered his head in silence. Mengxi took a peek at his face and walked to the bed with a smile.

"Your Majesty, would you like your slave to serve the princess and take the medicine?" Mengxi held the medicine and looked at Jing Shao, who was lying motionless by the bed, in embarrassment.

Jing Shao took the medicine bowl, waved his hand to let Meng Xi go out, turned to the outside and said, "What a blessing!"

"Yes." Duofu smiled and showed his head through the crack of the door.

"Stand guard outside the door." Jing Shao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw his appearance. He was lucky enough to still look like a child at his age.

"Yes." Duofu naturally understood what his prince meant, and rushed the maids to do their work. He also asked the guards to stand at the four corners of the house. He guarded the door to make sure that no one could hear what the people in the house said, and then leaned against the pillar. Basking in the sun with a smile.

"You won't listen to what I have to say." Jing Shao held the medicine in his hand and stirred it with a spoon. "Those words were said by outsiders. I know how much I weigh, even if I am married. The Queen Mother cannot sit in that position either.

"Why did the prince say this?" Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips. Hearing that Jing Shao sounded like he wanted to talk to him openly, and his expression didn't seem to be fake, he guessed that he had really made a mistake?

Jing Shao handed the medicine bowl to his hand: "I joined the army camp when I was fourteen. I have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years. I am good at fighting, but I know nothing about running a country. Look at me, how can I win over an imperial doctor? With so much effort, how can you possibly fight for the throne?”

Mu Hanzhang took the medicine bowl. It turned out that he bribed the imperial doctor in front of him just to "give an example"?

"Although I understand it myself, who will believe it when I say it? Take today as an example, if I defend you in the palace, my father will definitely think that I am very scheming and superficial, and it will be even more difficult in the future." Jing Shao couldn't help but sigh as he said this, but if he keeps acting unconvinced like this and trying to be first in everything, his father will not be able to tolerate him in the end.

Mu Hanzhang swallowed the black concoction in one gulp and felt the bitterness from the back of his tongue to his heart. It turned out that even a prince or grandson had such a difficult life. As soon as he put down the medicine bowl, a candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth. Mu Hanzhang looked up and saw the man wiping the medicine from the corner of his mouth with a smile. Jing Shao was naturally handsome, and he didn't like to smile on weekdays, so this smile made him look particularly good-looking.

Hearing that King Cheng was irritable and unsmiling, but since last night, this man had smiled at him many times, Mu Hanzhang sighed softly, maybe he should try to believe him, after all, he really had nothing to plot against. .

"It's not impossible for the prince to win over Dr. Jiang." After eating the candied fruit in his mouth, Mu Hanzhang said.

"Oh?" Jing Shao looked at him with interest.

Mu Hanzhang was weak, so he leaned on the big pillow at the head of the bed: "All we need to do is recruit his son into the prince's service, tempt him to make big or small mistakes, and wait for the old man to come to ask for help." yes.

"Jun Qing..." Jing Shao looked at him in surprise. He didn't know much about the relationship in the Tai Hospital. He was looking for Jiang Huan because he was famous for his lack of food and salt, and he was very strict with his mouth. So he was given a favor today. Thinking about letting him nurse Jun Qing back to health in the future, it would be a real surprise if he could win over such a person.

He rushed over and lay on the person's chest, "You are really a strategist! In this way, I can even save money on paying guests!" Mu Hanzhang was willing to reveal his thoughts to him, indicating that he had accepted it. He did it!

"Ahem, Your Majesty!" Mu Hanzhang felt a little short of breath after being hit by a big man falling from the sky.

"Hey, stop sitting and lie down quickly. The fever can only go away if you sweat." Jing Shao heard the sound and immediately jumped up, tucking the person into the bed and tucking the quilt in. He also lay aside and put the person Hold the quilt in your arms.

Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, he had been wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis, with an octopus fixed on the outside. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. This guy really had a short temper.

With his face pressed against Jing Shao's chest, Mu Hanzhang moved helplessly, pulling away slightly.

"Jun Qing, I will tell you anything in the future, and tell me whatever you think, so that we won't quarrel." Jing Shao raised his hand to remove the hair tie of the person in his arms, and rubbed his head with his chin Come on.

"Yes." Mu Hanzhang responded vaguely, covering himself up to warm him up, relaxing his spirit again, and making him feel a little drowsy.

"Jun Qing, I was really unhappy on the wedding night. I drank too much. I thought that since no one believed me, I would just make it hard for everyone," Jing Shao narrowed his eyes. This was indeed what he thought after waking up. Now that he knew what had happened in these years, it was not impossible to take that position. "But when I woke up and saw you, I changed my mind."

Mu Hanzhang did not respond, but pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Jing Shao saw that the person in his arms was silent, thinking that he was asleep, and gently touched his long hair: "I think it's good to spend a lifetime with a beautiful person like you. It doesn't matter whether others believe me or not. I will definitely protect you well in the future and not let you suffer any grievances..." He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for the person in his arms, but he knew that this was the only person willing to die with him. In this reborn world, he saw only suspicion and murderous intent. Only this person was his only salvation. He wanted to hold him tightly and never let go.

The deep voice was like a gentle whisper. Jing Shao was talking to himself, but he didn't know that the person he held tightly in his arms quietly raised the corners of his lips.

When Mu Hanzhang broke out in sweat and his fever subsided, it was already past noon. Jing Shao had already sent Duofu to personally go to the Second Prince's Mansion and confessed to his brother honestly, saying that he might go there later. Although the royal family has a large population, it has a special status, and it doesn't need to pay respects to many people on the second day of the wedding. As for Jing Shao, his interpersonal relationships have never been good anyway, so he simply paid respects to his brother's family. Now that he couldn't go after noon, he changed into casual clothes and had a nice lunch with his wife.

Who knew that just after the dishes were cleared, Duofu came to report that the Second Prince and the Princess had arrived. When Jing Shao heard this, he immediately put down the teacup and ran out.

"Your Highness!" Mu Hanzhang pulled him back, "Change your clothes before you go out."

"Oh!" Jing Shao slapped his forehead, forgetting that his sister-in-law was there, and it would be impolite to go out in this outfit, so he changed his clothes in a hurry. I didn't feel anything when I didn't see him after waking up, but now I'm going to see my brother so soon, I just feel that I have a lot to say to him, and I can't be confused this time.

"Your Highness, I won't go." Mu Hanzhang pulled back the hand that Jing Shao was holding.

"What's wrong?" You have to pay respects and offer tea to your brother, and you can also get a gift. Jing Shao stopped and looked at him.

Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips: "Your Highness didn't go to the Second Prince's Mansion because I was sick. Although we are brothers, it's not worth it to have misunderstandings over such a small matter."

"Huh?" Jing Shao was stunned for a long time with a question mark on his head, and then he realized that Jun Qing was afraid that his brother would see that he was fine, and thought that he deliberately didn't go to the Second Prince's Mansion, which hurt the brother's harmony. He couldn't help but smile helplessly, holding Mu Hanzhang's waist and said with a smile: "Jun Qing, if you have something to say, just say it directly. My brain is not working well."

Mu Hanzhang glanced at him and whispered: "I've made a note of it. Your Highness, go quickly." He knew that Jing Shao had a special feeling for this brother from the same mother. If he said this directly, it would be suspected of provoking the relationship between them. Now that he was an outsider who had just married, he should be careful when speaking.

"Jun Qing, do you want to make a note of it and say it directly, or do you want to make a note of my brain not working well?" Jing Shao couldn't help but tease him when he saw that he answered so quickly.

"I've made a note of it all." Mu Hanzhang's expression was still indifferent.

Jing Shao saw that he was so calm in the face of the change, and inexplicably felt that he looked very good. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he secretly kissed him on the cheek and quickly went out.

Mu Hanzhang looked at Jing Shao's back, slowly touched the cheek that was kissed, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips upwards.

Since the second prince came suddenly, Jing Shao had no time to go out to greet him, so Duofu invited him directly to the tea room of Tingfeng Pavilion. Tingfeng Pavilion is where Jing Shao usually entertains guests, reads, and plays. It belongs to the inner courtyard and usually only receives close guests. The layout of the palace is that the courtyard in front is the outer courtyard, and after the garden is Tingfeng Pavilion. Behind the pavilion are the East Garden and the West Garden. The East Garden is Jing Shao's residence, and the West Garden is where the women live.

The tea room is decorated quite elegantly, with exquisite tables and chairs in the style of Jiangnan. Except for the pillars, all the four sides are carved door panels. In winter, it is very warm to enclose it. In summer, it can be dismantled and becomes a small ventilated tea room on all sides. There are fresh flowers on the flower stand, and several slender vines are wrapped around the beams and pillars. At this time, they have sprouted, and the tender green is mixed with goose yellow, full of vitality.

The man sitting at the top of the tea room is dressed in dark yellow prince's clothes. He has a slender figure and a handsome look. He just sits there casually, and he has a dignity that is not angry but majestic. His facial features are 70% similar to Jing Shao's, but he is 30% less stern and a little more steady than Jing Shao. This person is Jing Shao's brother from the same mother, the Empress Yuan's eldest son Jing Chen.
