Chapter 221 Investigation

When Li Qingzhi met Lu Mingshan for the first time, Lu Mingshan was wearing a new Taoist robe and looked like a fairy.

Today, Lu Mingshan is wearing a brand new robe, and his temperament is even more outstanding than when he first met.

The most eye-catching thing is his eyebrows.

One of his eyebrows is white and the other is black, which is different from ordinary people and makes people feel that he is not simple.

There is no hair dye these days!

"Tao Zhang Lu!" Du Yongning was already walking towards Lu Mingshan. Seeing this, Li Qingzhi also followed.

The voices and movements of the two of them undoubtedly attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant.

"Taoist Master Lu? Is he the one who appeared at the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet before?"

"It should be that one. Did you see his eyebrows? One side is black and the other is white!"

"I didn't expect to meet Director Lu. Should we go over and have a look?"

... The business of Qingyun Tower has always been very good. Not to mention that it is overcrowded, there are not many empty tables. But now, these guests who come to eat basically focus on Lu Mingshan.

Lu Mingshan remained calm despite being watched by so many people. He greeted Du Yongning and Li Qingzhi with a smile: "Jushi Du, Jushi Li." "Taoist Master Lu, are you here for dinner? Do you want to come with us? ?" Du Yongning asked.

"Thank you so much, Master Du." Lu Mingshan smiled, followed Du Yongning and Li Qingzhi, and sat down at their table.

Seeing this scene, many people in the restaurant became upset and regretted not inviting Lu Mingshan in time.

But even if they fail to invite Lu Mingshan in time, they can still give Lu Mingshan something.

So, Lu Mingshan sat down at Li Qingzhi's table. As soon as he chatted with Du Yongning for a few words, the waiter brought two plates of food over and said that someone else had added them to them.

"Thank you." Lu Mingshan said.

Li Qingzhi observed Lu Mingshan closely and found that Lu Mingshan's acting skills were really good and he was very calm throughout the whole process.

However, Li Qingzhi was inevitably a little worried.

It's easy to get into trouble if you get involved in the fake prince thing. But... Lu Mingshan and Li Zhu both got involved.

"Daozhang Lu, I have been looking for you a few days ago, but unfortunately I couldn't find you. Where have you been?" Du Yongning was curious.

"After the plum blossom appreciation party, my energy was somewhat depleted, and I didn't want to be disturbed by others, so I found a place to do some repairs," Lu Mingshan said.

While the two were talking, someone else came in from outside.

The person who came in this time was an old man in his fifties or sixties, with a shiny face and official dignity.

These days, at this age, one can already be called an old man.

Du Yongning took one look and said to Li Qing: "That's the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."

Is this Wei Dongzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Li Qingzhi first heard about this person from Qian Fugui.

Wei Dongzheng appeared to be loyal to the emperor, but in fact he belonged to Prince Yan.

When he came to the capital, Li Qingzhi heard some other rumors. For example, Wei Dongzheng liked his concubine very much, but was extremely unhappy with his wife, and drove her away to live outside the city.

Wei Dongzheng even has a little relationship with them. The child born from Wei Dongzheng's concubine is a picky eater and eats nothing all day long. It is said that in the past, in order to coax him to eat, Wei Dongzheng often took him to Qingyun Tower to eat, or from Qingyunlou bought vegetables and brought them home for him to eat.

Juewei Zhai opened not long ago, and this young man fell in love with Juewei Zhai's food. So, Wei Shangshu sent people to buy Juewei Zhai's braised food every day, and even helped Juewei Zhai become famous.

The Minister of Hubu is considered a high-ranking official in Daqi, but today, Wei Dongzheng will be unlucky.

Lu Mingshan was found by Li Zhu, and Lu Qingxi asked Li Zhu to arrange for Lu Mingshan to become famous. Therefore, Li Qingzhi knew what would happen today.

The show is about to begin.

Upstairs, Lu Qingxi heard the commotion downstairs and secretly thought: The show is about to begin.

He specially revealed the news to Wei Dongzheng that the emperor was coming to Qingyun Tower for dinner, just to attract Wei Dongzheng. Now, Wei Dongzheng is here.

Lu Qingxi was looking forward to the scene downstairs, but at this moment, his first priority was still the emperor.

Chang Duan had planned the menu long ago and had already served them a table of dishes.

The dishes placed in front of the emperor were all sour, salty and refreshing, but the dishes placed in front of Concubine Liu were spicy and spicy, including the boiled pork slices.

Concubine Liu took a bite and was conquered by the numbing and spicy taste!

She came here on business today, but at the moment she couldn't care about anything else and just wanted to have a good meal.

Chef Duan of Qingyunlou's cooking skills are truly extraordinary.

"Aman, this sweet and sour fish is delicious, try it." Qi Jun pointed to a piece of fish on the table and said.

The fish was fried and cooked in sweet and sour sauce. It had a rich flavor and he liked it very much.

But he couldn't eat more, he could only taste two bites.

"It's delicious." Concubine Liu took a bite and her eyes lit up.

Qi Jun couldn't help laughing when he saw Concubine Liu Gui like this.

While the two were eating, suddenly there was a noise from downstairs.

After the emperor was poisoned, all the organs in his body degenerated, and his hearing dropped a lot.

Someone called "Taoist Master Lu" downstairs before. Lu Qingxi heard it, but he didn't.

It was only then that he heard the movement downstairs.

Lu Qingxi said: "I'll go take a look."

After Lu Qingxi finished speaking, he walked out of the box door and looked down...

Downstairs, as soon as Wei Dongzheng entered Qingyun Tower, a woman suddenly rushed out and knelt down towards him: "Master Wei, please spare my son. He knows he was wrong. He shouldn't have quarreled with your brother-in-law. …"

Wei Dongzheng often came to Qingyun Tower in the past, usually for his younger son's appetite.

But today is different. He came here today because he learned that the emperor was coming to have dinner, so he wanted to come and meet him by chance.

Because of his poor health, the current Holy Emperor has very few interactions with the ministers of the court... Although he is from Prince Yan, he is still willing to become familiar with the emperor if he has the opportunity.

But he didn't expect that he would be pestered by an unknown woman as soon as he entered the door.

"Master Wei, please!" The woman began to kowtow again.

Wei Dongzheng hated this woman very much. He didn't know where this woman ran away from, but he knew one thing, that is, in a lively place like Qingyun Tower, someone was crying and kneeling to beg him for his reputation. not good.

The most important thing is that the emperor is here today!

"Madam, I don't recognize you and don't know what you are talking about...Who asked you to come to me and talk nonsense in front of me?" Wei Dongzheng asked with a cold face.

The woman said: "Mr. Wei, I can't help it. Your brother-in-law injured my son and he is not allowed to go to school again..."

"I don't have a brother-in-law at all! Who asked you to slander me?" Wei Dongzheng said sternly. His wife has no brothers.

At first, when the woman knelt down to beg for mercy, some people present looked at Wei Dongzheng's expression as a little subtle, but now they heard Wei Dongzheng say this...

They felt that Wei Dongzheng might have been framed.

Mrs. Wei Dongzheng does not have the support of her brothers, otherwise she would not be bullied by Wei Dongzheng's concubines.

"Where's the waiter? Are you just going to watch someone ruin my reputation in your store?" Wei Dongzheng was angry.

At this moment, Lu Mingshan stood up, recited "Blessings and Immortal Lords", and then said: "Jushi Wei, this lady has not slandered you."

The waiter was already on his way to fetch the woman, and some of the other diners present also wanted to help.

As a result, Lu Mingshan said this... They took action.

Lu Mingshan looked at Wei Dongzheng seriously: "Master Wei, judging from her face, she didn't lie. What happened to her son is indeed related to you."

"Have you colluded with her?" Wei Dongzheng became increasingly angry.

Lu Mingshan didn't take his anger seriously at all. He pinched his fingers and said, "The brother-in-law this woman is talking about has nothing to do with your wife. You treat your concubine as your wife, so it doesn't mean you don't have a brother-in-law."

Wei Dongzheng's expression changed.

His concubine did have a younger brother. He was lively and sweet, and he quite liked him.

"Madam, please tell us in detail about your son." Lu Mingshan looked at the woman.

The woman cried and explained the situation.

She was able to appear here because of someone's guidance. The person who asked her to come was Li Zhu's subordinate.

She didn't really come to beg for mercy, she just wanted to cause trouble for Wei Dongzheng.

This woman is a native of Beijing. She runs a small business at home and her life is pretty good.

In Chongcheng County, there are relatively few people studying, but in Beijing, there are many people studying.

Generally, if the family has some conditions, they will send their children to study. After all, only if they can read can they find a job.

This woman's eldest son has been studying since he was a child. He is very knowledgeable and is expected to gain fame.

However, he offended Wei Dongzheng's concubine's brother.

The two were studying in a private school, and there was only a slight conflict at first. Later, the quarrel became bigger and bigger. The younger brother of Wei Dongzheng's concubine led a group of people to beat the woman's son.

Forget it, he also threatened the teacher in the private school not to teach this woman's son!

He even let his people spread some specious rumors about the woman's son, which ruined the woman's son's reputation, so that the woman's son couldn't even want to study elsewhere.

When Li Qingzhi heard this, he realized that this was ancient school bullying.

"Mr. Wei, our family only has a small business. Your brother-in-law is eating and drinking at my house. Our business can no longer continue!" The woman started crying again: "Please spare us! "

After listening to this, Wei Dongzheng knew that what this woman said was probably true.

But this did not stop him from hating this woman.

Saying this in public...this woman came to trouble him on purpose!

But even so, Wei Dongzheng could only say: "Madam, I didn't know about this before... Don't worry, I'll go back and find someone to teach that brat a lesson!"

Wei Dongzheng no longer wanted to meet the emperor by chance, he just wanted to leave quickly, but Lu Mingshan suddenly said: "Master Wei, you are not sincere."

Wei Dongzheng glared at Lu Mingshan.

Lu Mingshan was unmoved: "Jushi Wei, there is a villain around you. If you don't stay away, you may lose your official position or your life!"

No one would want to hear such unpleasant words, Wei Dongzheng's face turned dark.

Lu Mingshan looked calm: "Master Wei, don't mistake a turtledove for a magpie."

"What did you say?" Wei Dongzheng was stunned.

"Heavenly Lord of Infinite Blessings... Wei Jushi, everything in this world has cause and effect. If you don't respect love, a turtle dove appears in your family... If you don't believe it, go home and have a look." Lu Mingshan said and smiled. , turned around and left Qingyun Tower, and soon disappeared from sight.

And in Qingyun Tower, everyone was shocked after hearing what he said.

A meal at Qingyun Tower is expensive, costing at least several taels of silver. Those who can eat here are basically rich people.

The rich people these days are somewhat literate, so they naturally know the idiom "the dove occupies the magpie's nest".

Lu Mingshan said that Wei Dongzheng had a turtledove in his house...who was he referring to?

It would be fine if she was Wei Dongzheng's concubine, but it would be interesting if she meant Wei Dongzheng's son!

The guests in Qingyun Tower all looked at Wei Dongzheng. Wei Dongzheng hesitated for a moment and then ran out.

He wants to go home and see!

As for what he would see... Lu Qingxi found someone to threaten the lover who controlled Wei Dongzheng's concubine. When Wei Dongzheng went back, he would see his concubine having an affair with her lover.

The lover did like Wei Dongzheng's concubine, but he had a wife who was married to a matchmaker, and her wife gave him several children... Lu Qingxi had his family members' lives at stake, so he had no choice but to be obedient.

After Wei Dongzheng went out, some good people from Qingyun Tower immediately followed him, intending to watch the excitement.

Even Du Yongning was no exception. He even asked Li Qingzhi if he wanted to go with him.

"Brother Du, you can go if you want. As for me...Brother Du, you also know that I am very greedy..." Li Qingzhi looked at the food on the table.

"Brother Li, I'll come back as soon as I go!" Du Yongning said and left.

Li Qingzhi smiled, sat back in his seat, and continued eating.

Upstairs, Qi Jun and Lu Qingxi looked down together out of curiosity.

It's a pity that his hearing and eyesight are both poor, so he just heard a general idea...but he wanted to know more and more what was going on.

Lu Qingxi said: "Master, this is what happened..." Lu Qingxi vividly told Qi Jun what happened downstairs.

Qi Jun was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked again: "Is Taoist Lu still there?"

"Taoist Master Lu left after he finished speaking," Lu Qingxi said.

"It's a pity, I still want to meet Taoist Lu." Qi Jun sighed.

Concubine Liu Guifei was also curious: "Master Lu asked Wei Shangshu to go back and have a look... I don't know what Wei Shangshu can see."

"Since the empress is curious, I will ask someone to inquire immediately." After Lu Qingxi said this, he sent someone to Wei Shangshu's house to have a look, and persuaded the emperor and Concubine Liu to eat more.

The emperor and Concubine Liu were indeed not full, so they continued to eat. Downstairs, Li Qingzhi also ate slowly.

All the energy in his body was used on the emperor, and now he needs to eat more to make up for it.

It wasn't until Li Qingzhi finished all the dishes on the table that Du Yongning came back. As soon as he came back, he said: "Brother Li, Taoist Lu is so amazing! After Wei Shangshu returned, he found that his concubine was having an affair with someone. , the little son his concubine gave birth to is probably not his."

Li Qingzhi already knew this, but he still expressed his surprise.

Speaking of which... Wei Dongzheng is not young, already in his fifties, his youngest son is only eight years old, and the concubine is less than thirty years old... I also know that the concubine has no sincerity towards him.

Which beautiful girl would like an ugly old man who can be her father?

He pampered his concubines and destroyed his wives. He drove away his wives and let his concubines take charge of all matters in the house, which was even more convenient for the concubines.

It is reasonable for someone to feel dissatisfied when a flower is stuck on cow dung and find a young man to comfort his body and mind.

But this concubine is not a good thing. You can see what kind of person she is by looking at her brother's behavior.

Privately, she not only loaned money, but also took charge of lawsuits and bullied others in the name of Wei Dongzheng...

The "villain" in Lu Mingshan's mouth refers to her.

When Li Qingzhi knew about it, the emperor also knew about it.

After hearing this, the emperor said: "That Wei Dongzheng is really confused. He doesn't even respect his wife."

Concubine Liu Guifei's face changed slightly when she heard this.

She was older than the emperor and was the emperor's first woman, but she was not the emperor's first wife.

When the queen was alive, she was often targeted, but the emperor always respected his wife.

Not thinking about these unhappy things, Concubine Liu continued to think about what to do next.

In the next few days, Lu Mingshan's fame grew.

He asked Wei Dongzheng to go home, and Wei Dongzheng actually caught his concubine having an affair!

This incident spread quickly, and people in the capital thought Lu Mingshan was very magical.

This is just the beginning! After that day, Lu Mingshan did several more things, which made him known as a miracle.

"Have you heard about Daoist Lu?"

"Which one are you talking about?"

"Of course all of them!"

"I've heard it all!"

"Daozhang Lu is so awesome!"

"Taoist Master Lu is really capable!"

…

In the palace, Lu Qingxi told the emperor what Lu Mingshan had been doing in the capital these days.

The emperor listened with great interest and finally said: "Taoist Master Lu is really a master of Taoism."

Lu Qingxi didn't really believe in these gods and ghosts, but the emperor did.

He was not in good health, and sometimes he would wonder if he had done something wrong, which was why he encountered such a thing.

Now that he is about to die, he is even more willing to believe this.

"Taoist Master Lu is very powerful. I heard that he is so elusive that no one can find him." Lu Qingxi said.

"It would be great if I could see him." Qi Jun said.

He had wanted Master Lu to tell his fortune before, but he wanted to do so even more now.

"Your Majesty, this old slave will send someone to find him immediately."

"No need. If Master Lu doesn't want to be found, there is no need for us to disturb him." Qi Jun said.

After talking about Lu Mingshan, Qi Jun asked about government affairs again.

Lu Qingxi talked about the important things that happened in the past few days and waited for the emperor to make a decision.

The emperor pondered for a moment and gave several solutions for Lu Qingxi to annotate on the memorial.

That day, the emperor accompanied Liu Guifei to Qingyun Tower for dinner. They walked a lot and even walked up the stairs.

Both Lu Qingxi and Liu Guifei were worried about him, fearing that he would be exhausted due to overwork.

However, such a thing did not happen. In fact, the emperor seemed to be in good spirits these days.

Lu Qingxi no longer stayed in the palace all day, and would leave the palace every day.

On this day, as soon as he left the palace, someone came to report that the people who went to Chongcheng County to investigate Li Qingzhi were back.

The people who went to Yuxi Mansion to investigate Li Qingzhi came back a few days ago.

In the previous population registration of Yu County, there was indeed a family mentioned by Li Qingzhi, but no one knew what this family was like.

After a flood that year, Yu County had changed drastically. Many people fled and never came back.

In other words, Lu Qingxi didn't find anything useful in Yu County.

Now let's see what news the people who go to Chongcheng County can bring him.

There is a long distance between Chongcheng County and the capital. It takes half a month by boat, but if you ride a horse and work hard, you can get there in five days, and a round trip only takes ten days.

After Lu Qingxi's people arrived in Chongcheng County, they not only went to the county government office to look at various documents registered by Li Qingzhi, but also went to Miaoqian Village to ask various questions to the villagers in Miaoqian Village.

They went to several people, and one person returned to the capital first with some information, while the rest continued to dig into Li Qingzhi's life.

When Lu Qingxi returned to his residence, he began to read the information they had found related to Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi came to Chongcheng County with the refugees. He had some money at the time, but not much. After settling down in Miaoqian Village, he recognized his father...

The people in Miaoqian Village described Li Qingzhi's experience in detail, including the fact that Li Qingzhi was taken away and had to dig out rocks for five years.

Li Qingzhi had a good relationship with Gou Tongzhi. Governor Zhang once went to Li's house for dinner and admired Li Qingzhi very much. This is also recorded in the information.

"What do people in Miaoqian Village think of Li Qingzhi?" Lu Qingxi asked the person who came to report.

The man said: "The villagers in Miaoqian Village have a very good opinion of Li Qingzhi. Li Qingzhi has no airs and can talk to anyone..."

The people in Miaoqian Village had nothing but praise for Li Qingzhi, and Li Qingzhi was indeed a good person.

They went to see the school built by Li Qing. He did let the children work, but he also fed and clothed the children. He also wrote his own textbooks and had people teach those children to read.

The person who went to investigate told Lu Qingxi everything in detail. He also brought back the books and textbooks written by Li Qingzhi and gave them to Lu Qingxi.

I have to say that after Lu Qingxi heard this and read those books, he had a better impression of Li Qingzhi.

If only there had been such a school in his hometown when he was young...

He will not become a eunuch, he and his younger brothers and sisters can survive, and they can still read and learn skills...

In Miaoqian Village, Yao Zhenfu offended Li Qingzhi, but Li Qingzhi did not kill them all.

He has a good relationship with the people around him, he loves his children and respects his wife, he pities the weak... He looks so perfect that Lu Qingxi can't help but wonder if he is faking it.

But Zhang Zhiru admired Li Qingzhi very much.

Lu Qingxi did hate Zhang Zhiru, but he also knew one thing: Zhang Zhiru was a good official.

To be valued by Zhang Zhiru, this Li Qingzhi is not bad.

Judging from the descriptions of people in Miaoqian Village, Li Qingzhi is indeed an orphan.

The fact that he casually found himself a father...those who have both parents cannot do it.

They don't have much time, so let's choose Li Qing.

Lu Qingxi began to think about how to make Li Qingzhi believe that he was really the prince.

For Liu Guifei and him, it was a bad idea to find Li Qingzhi and let Li Qingzhi pretend to be the prince, so that Li Qingzhi believed that he was really Liu Guifei's child, so that they could be safe in the future.

He didn't know if Li Qingzhi had any birthmarks on his body... He wanted to find someone to check.

Chapter 222 Hot Spring

Li Qingzhi got up early in the morning as usual.

After Juewei Zhai opened in the capital, one of Chang Zhan's apprentices stayed there to help look after the shop. There was only one person left in charge of cooking in their family.

However, they don't have many family members, and with You Zhang already helping out, they are still busy.

When Li Qingzhi went to the kitchen, two and a half-year-old teenagers were cooking, and Li Laogen was still sitting behind the stove making a fire.

Li Laogen got older and slept less. He got up very early every day and had nowhere to go, so he simply came to the kitchen to light the fire.

While lighting the fire, he kept mumbling: "The food you cook is not as delicious as Ah Qing's. Ah Qing is a Wenquxing descended to earth, so the food he cooks tastes good..."

What does cooking have to do with Wenquxing? Li Qingzhi was a little funny.

He took a look and found that today's breakfast was pancakes.

Since they came to the capital, the frequency of eating pasta has skyrocketed. Fortunately, their family likes pasta and they don't feel uncomfortable.

Pork, pickles and dried tofu are mixed into fillings and wrapped in bread, and then fried in oil. It smells delicious!

Li Qingzhi took one and ate it unceremoniously, and said, "I'll go out and buy some bean curd and bring it back."

It would be too dry to eat just the noodles, so it would be better to drink some beancurd.

"Sir, are you going to buy tofu pudding? We originally planned to make soup." Zhang Zao said.

"Buy bean curd, I want to eat it." Li Qing insisted.

Forget cabbage soup... let's eat tofu pudding instead.

Compared with modern times, there were really too few ingredients at this time!

If you live in Chongcheng County, you can also eat green vegetables and radishes in winter, but in Beijing... you basically eat cabbage every day, otherwise it's pickles, dried vegetables, and sauerkraut.

There was a tofu shop near Qingshi Lane. After Li Qingzhi went there, he asked for two buckets of tofu and asked a porter to help him pick it back.

He was very strong, so he could carry it back by himself, but that would easily cause a sensation and was not appropriate.

When we returned to Qingshi Alley, everyone in the alley had already gotten up, and some people gathered together to talk about Lu Mingshan.

"I heard that yesterday, Director Lu met Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Works by chance. He could tell at a glance that there was a thief in Mr. Wang's house!"

"I've also heard that Taoist Master Lu is really awesome!"

"There was a case in the Yamen before where the murderer could not be found. Director Lu happened to pass by and immediately revealed the identity of the murderer!"

"Daozhang Lu is a true god!"

…

Seeing Li Qingzhi, they stopped talking and greeted Li Qingzhi one after another.

Li Qing said: "Everyone, I bought two barrels of bean curd. My family can only eat one barrel. Do you want to share some?"

Of course it was necessary. Those who were chatting at the scene went home to get bowls and went to Li Qingzhi's place to serve the tofu pudding.

They also chatted with Li Qingzhi about Lu Mingshan: "Li Jieyuan, has Master Lu ever told your fortune?"

"Li Jieyuan, have you heard about what happened yesterday?"

"Li Jieyuan..."

Li Qingzhi smiled and talked to them.

Recently, a lot of things related to Lu Mingshan have really happened in the capital.

The first thing is... Wei Dongzheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was sick of anger, and even asked to resign.

He really liked his concubine, but it turned out that she didn't like him at all, they had a good relationship, and the child they gave birth to was not his!

That child really looked like his concubine's adulterer!

Of course, if it was just this, he wouldn't resign. The key is... Many people followed him to watch the fun that day, and even the emperor's guards came, so he didn't cover up the matter, so that it ended up causing a scene. Everyone knows it.

He is so embarrassed! Everyone in the capital knew that he had been cuckolded!

Later, it was found out that his concubine had done a lot of things that would make him take off his black gauze hat!

Wei Dongzheng was so angry that he vomited blood and couldn't even think about resigning. He took the initiative to write a note asking to resign and return to his hometown, and by the way, he sent his concubine to prison.

If he didn't do this... he might not be able to escape unscathed!

That Taoist priest Lu is really amazing!

He didn't know whether he should be grateful or miserable.

After Wei Dongzheng resigned, the emperor did not continue to pursue him, but his concubine, his concubine's brother, and even the adulterer did.

Doomed to sit in jail.

Except for Wei Dongzheng's case... Fan Weiyan's case was also settled.

On the day of the Plum Appreciation Banquet, after many officials sent Fan Weiyan to the Yamen, the Yamen began to investigate Fan Weiyan's murder of his daughter.

Fan Weiyan's daughter was not killed by Fan Weiyan himself, but by his father's orders.

However, because of Lu Qingxi's instruction, the punishment was severe. Fan Weiyan was dismissed from his job and even received a slap in the face, his father was also imprisoned, and Li Zhu's dowry was confiscated by the Yamen.

Li Zhu didn't take the money, and ended up returning it to the Yamen. Li Zhu didn't have any objections to this.

Her dowry back then was worth several thousand taels. To her at that time, it was already a lot, but to her now, it is nothing.

Regarding this matter, after the people in the capital knew the result, they all clapped their hands and applauded.

Then, there are other things, such as the clan brother who lives in Wang Shilang's house stealing the Wang family's things and selling them.

One official was particularly unlucky, and someone pretended to be him to extort businessmen. This was also "seen" by Lu Mingshan.

Li Qingzhi admired Lu Qingxi very much.

He really knew a lot of things, and then...forcibly put Lu Mingshan on the altar.

Now, everyone in the capital felt that Lu Mingshan was really an expert.

Lu Mingshan was so popular that it covered up another thing.

A few days ago, new stores were opened next to the jewelry shop and rouge shop opened by Prince Yan that made a lot of money.

Those two new stores were opened by Shopkeeper Mu.

This is nothing at first, but...the jewelry in the jewelry shop opened by Shopkeeper Mu is really beautiful!

Those jewelry are all inlaid with crystal clear gemstones, the styles are novel, and the prices are not expensive.

I heard that it was a special gemstone from the south. Wearing it could bring good luck to people. Concubine Liu Guifei in the palace liked it very much.

The child in the palace was burned with charcoal fire and almost died. Concubine Liu wore a full set of jewelry to pray for him, and he survived in the end!

You must buy jewelry like this!

Before, everyone thought that the jewelry sold in Prince Yan's shop was very beautiful and they were willing to buy it, but now...

Or the jewelry in the wooden shopkeeper's shop is more pleasing to the eye.

The key is that the price of these jewelry is not expensive. For the same price as buying a Jinbu Yao in King Yan's shop, you can buy a Jinbu Yao inlaid with gems in the shop of Mu Zhanggui, and then buy a Jinbu Yao inlaid with gems. gold necklace!

There are many officials in the capital who don't have much money at home, but they can buy some silver jewelry inlaid with gemstones at the Jincui Building run by Shopkeeper Mu.

In addition to jewelry, the rouge shop opened by Shopkeeper Mu also sells a soap that can wash people extra clean.

It is said that using this soap to wash your face and hands will make your hands and face white, and it will leave a light fragrance!

Bath beans are indeed useful, but not nearly as useful as this soap.

This soap is also used by the ladies in the palace.

In short, since the opening of these two shops, the business of the shop opened by Prince Yan has plummeted.

Forget it, because the business was good before, Prince Yan bought a large amount of goods and stockpiled them. Now that these goods cannot be sold and the money cannot be collected, Prince Yan is short of money.

"Li Jieyuan, the jewelry from Jin Cui Lou is particularly beautiful. You should also go buy some and give them to your wife."

"Li Jieyuan still needs your teaching? I saw Li Jieyuan's wife wearing jewelry from Jincuilou before."

"That's originally from Jiangnan. I must have seen him before."

…

The people who came to Li Qingzhi to scoop out the beancurds started talking.

Li Qingzhi smiled and agreed, and then he saw Master Ping's wife walking from a short distance away, wearing a silver hairpin with a piece of green glass about the size of a soybean on her head. This kind of silver hairpin is very cheap, looks good and is easy to use, so most people buy it.

It can be seen that Jincui Tower is really popular.

There was still half of the bucket of bean curd that Li Qingzhi brought to share, so he gave it to Mrs. Ping.

Mrs. Ping did not dislike it at all and accepted it with a smile.

Li Qingzhi asked the porter to take the half bucket of beancurd to Mrs. Ping's house, took the remaining bucket and went home for breakfast. Tofu curds paired with pancakes are really delicious!

As soon as Li Qingzhi finished eating, he received a letter from Du Yongning. Du Yongning said that he knew a man who wanted to go to Zhuangzi near the capital to soak in the hot springs, and asked Li Qingzhi if he wanted to go with him.

At the same time, Li Zhu also sent a letter telling him that Lu Qingxi had made some arrangements and wanted him to go to the hot springs. Even Lu Qingxi would go there.

Since it was arranged by Lu Qingxi, he must go. If Lu Qingxi also goes... Does Lu Qingxi want to see him?

Li Qingzhi didn't go out for the past few days and had been teaching Li Damao, Li Ermao Zhangzao and the others to study at home.

It's not that he doesn't like to socialize, it's mainly that he found... Prince Yan came out to make friends with Juren!

He didn't want to meet Prince Yan, so he avoided it. However, Prince Yan was out of money recently, so he should stop. If he went to the hot springs this time, he would definitely go.

Li Qingzhi wrote a reply to Du Yongning, saying that he would go to Du Mansion on time tomorrow and set out with Du Yongning outside the city.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Li Qingzhi walked to Du Mansion after breakfast. When he arrived, Du Yongning was letting people move things onto the carriage.

Seeing Li Qingzhi coming over, Du Yongning immediately called Li Qingzhi over: "Brother Li, we are really lucky this time, otherwise we would not be able to soak in the hot springs! I have never been in a hot spring in my life..."

Li Qingzhi didn't know if there were hot springs in Jiang'an Province, but he had never heard of them and had never bathed in them.

This time I can go to the hot spring resort to soak in the hot springs...it's really good!

Lu Qingxi's arrangement was quite considerate. As for why he arranged it like this, he probably wanted to see if he had any birthmarks on his body.

If you want to recognize your relative, you can't even know that he has a birthmark on his body.

The original owner had no birthmarks on his body, but now... he has an extra mole on his back.

An ordinary mole, not surprising, but the location and size were exactly the same as the mole on the emperor's back.

"Brother Du, I brought some braised food from Jueweizhai to give everyone extra meals." Li Qingzhi smiled and showed Du Yongning the food box he was carrying.

Juewizhai is very expensive in Beijing, so it became

Great gift.

"Great!" Du Yongning was very happy to see him.

The official in the Du family was Du Yongning's uncle, which meant that Du Yongning was staying at his uncle's house.

Under such circumstances, he certainly cannot be picky about his food.

He hasn't been eating well these days, and he really misses Juewei Zhai's braised food.

"I originally wanted to buy some braised meat to eat by myself, but Uncle Zhou said it was not appropriate. But if I buy it for everyone to eat together, the price is too expensive. Alas, my eldest aunt is very frugal, and the food at my uncle's house is really not that good... "Du Yongning kept talking.

His uncle had a wife and three concubines, and a lot of children, so he was short of money.

Although his cousin had a father who was an official, he was not as rich as him.

After talking about this, Du Yongning started talking about Lu Mingshan again.

It's just that Li Qingzhi loves to chat, otherwise he would definitely not be able to stand him.

"Daozhang Lu said before that I would definitely pass the Jinshi examination, and that I had a bright future..." Du Yongning was very proud.

Li Qingzhi: "..." Lu Mingshan said this to every candidate!

He didn't say that he passed the exam this time, maybe next time?

But it doesn't matter if Du Yongning believes it, it will put him in a better state of mind. When the test comes, he may perform exceptionally well.

The two chatted on the carriage all morning, and finally arrived at the hot spring village at noon.

This place is further away than Zhuangzi where the plum blossoms are blooming. After they soaked in the hot springs, they would not go back. They would stay here for one night and go back tomorrow.

The carriage wandered into the hot spring village, but Li Qingzhi did not see the hot spring with white mist. Only when he got closer did he realize that the hot spring was surrounded.

There were many servants at the hot spring village. They introduced this village to Li Qingzhi and Du Yongning, and said that there were very skilled masters at the village who could help people rub their backs.

When Li Qingzhi and the others arrived, other people were already there.

It was very warm near the hot spring, and some flowers were planted here. After everyone chatted for a while and ate something, they went to the hot spring separately.

Li Qingzhi entered a room and found a large bathtub carved out of stone. Hot spring water flowed in on one side and hot spring water flowed out on the other side. Flowers and plants were planted next to the bathtub, which looked elegant and pleasant.

I don't know how much money was spent on this place.

Li Qingzhi took off his clothes and went into the water wearing only shorts.

Not long after he had been there, a tall and handsome servant came over.

This time someone brought some food over and asked Li Qingzhi if he wanted to rub his back.

"Wipe it." Li Qingzhi came out of the hot spring pool without hesitation, lying on his back and letting someone rub his back.

While wiping, he also chatted with the person who was wiping his back.

It's a pity that this man doesn't like to talk. When he asked about the hot spring village, this man even kept his mouth shut.

I think so. The people arranged by Lu Qingxi must not know Zhuangzi well.

While Li Qingzhi was soaking in the hot spring, Lu Qingxi was staying in a room not far away.

He was physically handicapped and didn't like to soak in hot springs, so he didn't go into the water. He just sat and drank tea, while the steward of Zhuangzi stood beside him, a little at a loss what to do.

The steward thought that Lu Qingxi came to Zhuangzi because he wanted to soak in the hot springs, and he also wanted to make Eunuch Lu feel comfortable.

As a result, when Lu Qingxi arrived, he did not go to the hot springs. He only asked him to arrange for someone to wipe the backs of those people. Lu Qingxi also found someone to wipe the backs of Li Jieyuan.

Eunuch Lu must have fallen in love with Li Jieyuan, right?

Probably not? If you really like him, how can you let others rub Li Jieyuan's back?

Then... Could it be that Eunuch Lu wanted to assassinate Li Jieyuan?

It seems like this is more likely...

Lu Qingxi didn't know that the steward around him had thought so much. He waited for a long time before the person he sent to wipe Li Qingzhi's back came back.

After asking the steward to leave, Lu Qingxi asked about Li Qingzhi's situation.

Li Qingzhi used to have many wounds and scars on his body, but they are gone now. There is nothing wrong with him, and there are no birthmarks.

"Master Chitose, Li Qingzhi has no birthmark on his body, but there is a mole on his back and left shoulder blade."

"You draw it and show it to me." Lu Qingxi took out a piece of paper.

The man quickly drew a pattern on his back and added a mole on it.

Lu Qingxi was shocked after reading it.

He has been serving Qi Jun. When Qi Jun was young, he was the only eunuch around him.

He naturally knew about the mole on Qi Jun's back, and even knew it before Qi Jun. After all, Qi Jun couldn't see his own back.

Li Qingzhi's mole is exactly the same as Qi Jun's!

What a coincidence! It seems like someone designed it.

But who can design such a thing? Not many people know that the emperor has a mole on his back, and even those women who have been blessed by Qi Junlin may not know it!

Even if he knew...the mole on Li Qingzhi's back didn't grow just because he wanted to!

"Is that mole real?" Lu Qingxi asked.

"Absolutely true."

What a coincidence and great!

Lu Qingxi held the tea cup and thought for a while, then said: "I want to see for myself... Take this ointment and say you want to rub it on him and let him lie down."

After Lu Qingxi gave his instructions, his men went to find Li Qingzhi again.

Then... Li Qingzhi was told that he could apply another balm.

Li Qingzhi was not interested in the ointment, but he was obviously a drunkard who didn't care about wine... He lay down again.

As soon as he lay down, someone opened the door and came in.

Li Qingzhi turned around and saw Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi didn't look at Li Qingzhi, his eyes fell on Li Qingzhi's back. When he saw it clearly, he said: "Sorry, I went to the wrong place."

After he finished speaking, he left without any hesitation.

Li Qingzhi: "..." Lu Qingxi is so straightforward in what he does!

The steward at Zhuangzi: "..." What is Eunuch Lu doing?

Lu Qingxi didn't care what others thought. He left after reading it and planned to speed up the progress. He had asked the emperor and Li Qingzhi to recognize each other years ago.

Must be faster!

Speaking of which, if the emperor has a prince like Li Qingzhi... the ministers in the court will definitely side with Li Qingzhi!

What is the King of Jin? Who is the Prince of Yan County?

Compared with Li Qingzhi, these two people are idiots!

Li Qingzhi has a photographic memory and knows the sufferings of the people. He will definitely be a good emperor!

The emperor would definitely be very happy to have such a child!

He even wants to recognize Li Qingzhi as his godson!

The more Lu Qingxi thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He had already made up his mind to help Li Qingzhi become famous when he returned.

The more famous Li Qingzhi became, the more officials in the DPRK valued him and became more satisfied with him!

He could have Li Qingzhi's previous articles printed, and the teaching materials written by Li Qingzhi could also be promoted.

Of course, before that, Li Qingzhi and the emperor had to "recognize" each other.

Lu Qingxi did not stay in the hot spring village for long. He returned to the capital that day and began to plan his next move.

And even though he hid it a lot when he went out this time, he didn't hide it from everyone. At least Prince Yan knew about it immediately.

"Then Lu Qingxi asked several people to take a bath in his hot spring village?" Prince Yan frowned: "This is not something Lu Qingxi would do."

"He must have something up his sleeve." Prince Yan's husband said.

Prince Yan also felt the same way: "He wants to win over those people?"

"Maybe." "Among those candidates, there is Li Qingzhi who I want to contact but I have never been in contact with... He is also eyeing Li Qingzhi? Even if Li Qingzhi has some ability, Lu Qingxi is not a Corporal Li Xian..." Prince Yan couldn't figure it out.

"Let someone check out Li Qingzhi. He may not be a simple person." Prince Yan's husband said.

Prince Yan suddenly thought of something: "This Li Qingzhi is from Jiang'an Province, and he is from Hexing Mansion. The official named Gou in Hexing Mansion is from Zhang Zhiru, and Zhang Zhiru is from Lu Qingxi... Li Qingzhi Zhi has already taken refuge with Lu Qingxi?"

"It's very possible!" Prince Yan's husband said.

The two of them had such a guess and immediately asked people to investigate Li Qingzhi.

After giving the instructions, Prince Yan said again: "That old dog Lu Qingxi is really annoying!"

During this time, Prince Yan was almost furious!

He opened two shops, and as soon as he made a little money, Lu Qingxi suddenly opened a new shop next to his shop, causing his shop's business to plummet.

Forget it, he went through a lot of hard work before he hooked up with Wei Dongzheng, who was one of the officials with the highest official position on his side.

He gave Wei Dongzheng a lot of things and provided him with a lot of conveniences, and then...

Wei Dongzheng is dead!

Things he had been doing recently were really not going well, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

In order to let Qian Fugui expand his business, he gave all the money he had to Qian Fugui, but now the business is not good!

All his money has been exchanged for jewelry and rouge... He wanted money yesterday, but Qian Fugui couldn't get it out at all. There were only jewelry and rouge in the warehouse!

He can't just melt the jewelry that the craftsmen spent a lot of effort on and spend it!

Prince Yan was very depressed, but things were different with Prince Jin.

Lu Mingshan has become so famous recently! King Jin has no other ideas now, so he just wants someone to find Lu Mingshan and help him tell his fortune to see what he needs to do to ascend the throne.

Such a capable Taoist priest should have some magical spells, and maybe he could help him curse King Yan and the emperor to death. In this way, the throne would become his.

It's a pity that Lu Mingshan is so elusive that he has never found anyone...

King Jin scolded his men, despising them for being useless.

Lu Qingxi returned to the capital that night, and early the next morning, he sent a letter to Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu Guifei saw the letter and was relieved to learn that Lu Qingxi had chosen Li Qingzhi.

She didn't want a son who was a complete stranger. If that person was Li Qingzhi, that would be great.

Concubine Liu hugged Qi An: "An'an, you will definitely be fine in the future..."

Now that the decision has been made, their plan can begin.

Li Qingzhi's identity needs someone to arrange it, and Lu Mingshan needs someone to train...

In about ten days, everything will be arranged!

Concubine Liu Guifei was in a good mood because the matter had come to an end.

Qi Jun had been getting along with Concubine Liu for decades, and he noticed Concubine Liu's joy and asked, "Aman, are you happy?"

"Your Majesty, you are in good health these days, of course I am happy." Concubine Liu said with a smile.

"I am indeed in good health these days," the emperor thought of how relaxed he felt after leaving the palace for a walk. He said to Concubine Liu, "Aman, shall we go to Qingyun Tower for dinner tomorrow?"

He felt that sitting on the second floor of Qingyun Building and eating, his appetite was better than before.

"Okay." Liu Guifei agreed.

Chapter 223 Destined to have a son

After the emperor and Concubine Liu Guifei agreed to go to Qingyun Tower for dinner tomorrow, they informed Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi immediately made arrangements. He made a list of people to bring with him tomorrow, asked people to prepare the things he would bring with him tomorrow, and sent a letter to Qingyun Tower to ask Duan Jin to prepare.

After doing all this, Lu Qingxi thought for a moment, then left the palace and went to find Lu Mingshan.

These days, Lu Mingshan has become famous in the capital. Those powerful people in the capital all want to have a good chat with Lu Mingshan and ask him to read their fortunes and tell their fortunes.

But Lu Mingshan was elusive and they couldn't find anyone.

It is this that makes everyone more and more convinced that Lu Mingshan is an expert.

But in fact... Lu Mingshan is so elusive because every time he tells people fortunes, he has planned and rehearsed it in advance, and every time there is someone to pick him up and take him away.

On weekdays, when he didn't need to go out to "act", Lu Mingshan stayed in the residence arranged for him by Lu Qingxi and read a book.

During this period, he deceived many people. The majestic and high-status officials in the capital were respectful in front of him and truly regarded him as a master.

Lu Mingshan felt that his whole body swelled.

He has been living at the bottom. The world he has seen before is very narrow. To him, those officials are superior beings.

But now, these people respect him and worship him!

This feeling was so good. Lu Mingshan actually had no freedom during this period, but he didn't care.

He was either reading a book or holding a bronze mirror and thinking about how to perform the next scene every day. He was very busy.

He felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

The only thing that made him feel regretful was that his apprentice was not by his side.

It would be great if his apprentice was by his side, so that he could tell his apprentice what he had done, and his apprentice would definitely admire him very much.

Lu Mingshan was a little scared when he was brought to Lu Qingxi at first, but now...

He has always been a person who is drunk now, but now he no longer cares about fear, he only thinks about whether he can deceive more powerful people!

"Those who are greedy will be poor..." At noon that day, Lu Mingshan looked at the book Lu Qingxi found for him as usual.

This book is a very rare book that teaches people how to deceive others. The paragraph he read said that people who are too greedy will definitely become poor. It also teaches people how to defraud money through the greed of others.

What a great book! Lu Mingshan felt that after he finished studying this book, he would definitely improve his deception skills.

Thinking this, he threw a candied fruit into his mouth.

The preserved fruits pickled with honey and sugar are particularly delicious and make you feel good after eating them. At this time, someone came in from outside.

"A new job?" Lu Mingshan stood up gracefully. Unexpectedly, he saw Lu Qingxi, who was still alone.

Lu Mingshan immediately changed his face and smiled flatteringly: "The common people have seen Eunuch Lu. I haven't seen him for many days. My father-in-law looks better than before..."

Lu Mingshan praised Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi liked hearing his praise, and after hearing it, he asked Lu Mingshan to sit in front of him: "Taoist Master Lu, tomorrow, you are going to have a look at the emperor."

Lu Mingshan knew that Lu Qingxi must have some agenda to build momentum for him and help him promote his reputation.

Who is Lu Qingxi? He is a popular person in front of the emperor, Eunuch Lu who can help the emperor approve memorials!

It is impossible for him to work hard to train an "expert" just to let this "expert" tell the secrets of some officials.

Lu Mingshan is a smart man, and he knows that he is likely to tell the emperor's fortune.

No, his job has come.

Lu Mingshan said: "Father-in-law, what do you want me to say? You can rest assured that I will handle the matter. I will keep it in accordance with your requirements and handle it properly!"

Lu Qingxi looked at Lu Mingshan, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

He originally thought about killing people and silencing them after the incident was completed, but now... what he wanted to do went so smoothly, it was not impossible to save the life of the person in front of him.

Li Qingzhi and the emperor have too many similarities!

When he saw the mole, he wondered if it was possible that Li Qingzhi was really the emperor's child living abroad.

Of course that's impossible.

The emperor is not a womanizer. In the early years, apart from the late queen pointed out to him by the late emperor, there were only Concubine Liu and two other women that the late emperor and concubine forced him to have.

After he ascended the throne, he wanted to have children and took two more concubines, but these were the only two he had.

Now that the queen has passed away, there are only five people in the emperor's harem including Concubine Liu Guifei. Together, these people have conceived three children.

The eldest princess and the second princess survived, but the daughter born to Concubine Liu did not survive.

The emperor could not have any other children.

Lu Qingxi said to Lu Mingshan: "When you meet the emperor tomorrow, you will say this..."

Lu Qingxi told Lu Mingshan everything he needed from Lu Mingshan, and also told Lu Mingshan some things about Qi Jun.

Only if Lu Mingshan understands Qi Jun, can he say something that Qi Jun will believe!

Lu Mingshan did not expect that Lu Qingxi would ask him to tell the emperor that the emperor had a son living abroad.

What does Lu Qingxi want to do? Could it be that he wanted to find someone to pretend to be the prince?

Lu Mingshan knew that he might be in danger by doing this, but he had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off.

Lu Mingshan said: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiansui, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully!"

"Be prepared today. By the way, you'd better not tell anyone else about this, otherwise... you are lucky to die well," Lu Qingxi looked at Lu Mingshan with a smile, and spoke in a eerie voice unique to an eunuch. Then, "Do you know about the dismemberment of five horses? Do you know about Ling Chi?"

After speaking, Lu Qingxi patted Lu Mingshan on the shoulder and left.

After Lu Qingxi left, Li Zhu came in: "What did Eunuch Lu say to you?"

Lu Mingshan is now staying in her territory. She has always been aware of what Lu Qingxi asked Lu Mingshan to do.

His apprentice is still in Li Zhu's hands, and... Lu Mingshan still trusts Li Qingzhi more than Lu Qingxi.

He didn't trust either Lu Qingxi or Li Zhu, but he felt that Li Qingzhi had no ill intentions towards him.

Since Li Qingzhi is on Li Zhu's side...Lu Mingshan told Li Zhu what Lu Qingxi asked him to do.

"As expected." Li Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, her expression was inexplicably weird, and soon, tears appeared in her eyes.

She always wanted to take revenge and deal with King Jin, but then the person she wanted to deal with was King Yan.

But it's too difficult.

The identities of the two parties are too different

If there are too many, it will make a difference!

Not to mention, the emperor also intends to give the throne to one of these two people.

If someone becomes the emperor, how can she take revenge?

But now, her brother has a chance to become a prince!

King Jin and King Yan both wanted to be emperor, but what was the result? The throne was taken by her younger brother!

They killed his family and then her brother took the throne from them!

This thing is really exciting just thinking about it!

Lu Qingxi went to the hot spring village to meet her brother yesterday. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have chosen her brother.

Li Zhu smiled and wiped his tears. After a while, he said to Lu Mingshan: "Taoist Master Lu, tomorrow you will tell the emperor what Eunuch Lu asked you to say, and then you will pretend that a god has come to you. Say something else..."

Li Zhu and Li Qingzhi discussed the whole matter.

In fact, for them, Lu Mingshan only told the emperor what Lu Qingxi told him.

Then, Li Qingzhi can wait for Lu Qingxi to come to him on his own initiative!

But in that case, Lu Mingshan, the liar, and Li Zhu, who was more or less involved in the matter, might be in danger.

So... Li Qingzhi plans to let Lu Mingshan say more when the time comes.

Lu Mingshan pretended to be really capable and could tell real prophecies... When the time comes, Lu Qingxi would not touch Lu Mingshan easily.

Even if Lu Mingshan doesn't move, Li Zhu will naturally be safer.

Lu Qingxi asked Lu Mingshan to go to Qingyun Tower tomorrow. He would take Lu Mingshan to the backyard of Qingyun Tower and ask Lu Mingshan to read his fortune to the emperor.

The previous time, they let the emperor eat in the restaurant just to let the emperor watch the fun. This time, they wanted Lu Mingshan to read the emperor's face. It must be that the backyard of the restaurant is safer and no news will be spread.

"After you finish speaking, remember to go out immediately and turn left to this place. Someone will help you whiten the other eyebrow." Li Zhu took out the floor plan of the backyard of Qingyun Building and explained it to Lu Mingshan.

Tomorrow, she will ask Li Qingzhi to come over and help Lu Mingshan perform the scene.

Li Qingzhi couldn't get close to the emperor when he was eating, but he could wait nearby and help Lu Mingshan, making the emperor believe in what Lu Mingshan said.

As long as they make sufficient preparations, even if someone tells the emperor that Li Qingzhi is not a prince, the emperor will not believe it!

Lu Mingshan guessed what Lu Qingxi was thinking, but he didn't know what Li Zhu wanted to do: "You asked me to say that the prince has great luck... If I say so, will Eunuch Lu cause trouble for me?"

Li Zhu said: "No, if you really get into trouble, you'll have to confess to me."

Yes... Lu Mingshan gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

He was going to lie to the emperor. He was actually going to lie to an emperor! He will become the greatest liar in history!

Lu Mingshan even had some thoughts of his own.

Before, he had no choice but to listen to Lu Qingxi, but tomorrow... if he behaves well, can he stick to the emperor and become a popular person in front of the emperor?

If that was the case, Lu Qingxi would not dare to do anything to him!

Everyone has different thoughts and their own little calculations.

As for Li Qingzhi, he only found out about this when he returned to the capital that night.

Li Qingzhi never expected that progress would be so fast.

He thought Lu Qingxi would wait a few more days to make sure everything was safe before taking action.

But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.

People who do big things always do it when they think of it. Those who are particularly decisive will only miss opportunities if they hesitate.

Also...the emperor's health is really poor. Even if the royal doctor carefully cared for him, he would only live for a year or two.

Tomorrow... Li Qingzhi planned to take Jin Xiaoye and the others to Qingyun Tower for dinner and help Lu Mingshan by the way.

With Chang Duan's help, this is doable.

After considering everything, Li Qingzhi went to bed to rest, but he couldn't sleep.

Jin Xiaoye: "Why don't you sleep?" Li Qingzhi kept touching her without stopping!

Li Qing insisted: "Xiaoye, something big is going to happen tomorrow. I can't sleep."

"No matter how big things are, nothing is as important as sleeping," Jin Xiaoye hugged him in his arms, "Sleep!" Alas, Li Qingzhi is really a bit bigger now, and it's not as easy to hold him up as before... Jin Xiaoye has been very busy recently. , she was really a little tired. After Li Qing couldn't hold on, she fell asleep quickly.

Li Qingzhi kissed her and fell asleep.

But it was different for others. Many people couldn't sleep this night.

There is no need to attend morning court the next day.

Qi Jun himself didn't go to morning court very often.

When he got up in the morning, he had some porridge first. The food to go with the porridge was sauerkraut that was brought into the palace by Lu Qingxi and made by the shopkeeper of Qingyun Tower himself.

The sauerkraut is mixed with a little shredded chicken, and the porridge is filled with beaten egg whites. These are all good for the body.

Qi Jun had a small appetite and didn't eat much. After eating, he rested for a while, and then took Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi out of the palace.

Qi Jun was the emperor after all, and Lu Qingxi didn't dare to let him go to many places, but Qingyun Tower was okay.

Qingyun Tower is his property, and Duan Jin is his person!

"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Duan has thought up two new dishes. You can try them then..." Lu Qingxi did not sit in the sedan, but walked beside the sedan to talk to the emperor.

Just as he was talking, Qingyun Tower arrived.

Qi Jun got off the sedan. Because he accidentally tripped last time, he walked very carefully this time.

Lu Qingxi also supported him in time and reminded him that there was a threshold ahead.

They entered Qingyun Tower and went straight to the backyard.

Last time, Concubine Liu wanted to eat in front, so they went to the private room on the second floor. This time... Concubine Liu planned to go to the backyard to try the Qingyun Banquet made by shopkeeper Duan herself.

There were many dishes in the Qingyun Banquet, and the emperor could not eat every dish, but he was happy to accompany Liu Guifei.

When the time comes, he will take a few bites of what he can eat and stop eating what he can't.

After the two sat down, Lu Qingxi approached Chang Duan and asked Chang Duan to serve the dishes.

One after another complicated and exquisite dishes were served... Concubine Liu was very happy to eat.

Qi Jun didn't have much appetite at first, but seeing that Concubine Liu was enjoying her meal, she ate a lot.

At this time, a guest came to Qingyun Tower.

The last time Lu Mingshan came to Qingyun Tower was half a month ago. That time, he briefly talked to Wei Dongzheng in Qingyun Tower, and Wei Dongzheng was so angry that he resigned.

And after he arrived at Qingyun Tower this time...

Lu Mingshan found an empty table and sat down, and asked the waiter to serve him some signature spicy dishes.

"The last time Pindao came here, he wanted to try the spicy dishes from Qingyun Tower. Unfortunately, he had an accident and couldn't taste it. I must taste it this time." Lu Mingshan said to the waiter with a gentle face.

At this time, his two eyebrows, one black and one white, have already made people recognize him: "Taoist Master Lu!"

"Master Lu, let me treat you to dinner!"

"Director Lu, I have been looking for you."

"Director Lu, do you want to go to the private room upstairs?"

…

Lu Mingshan sighed slightly: "Everyone, Pindao came here today because he wants to taste the delicacies of Qingyun Tower."

At the same time, the people left outside by Lu Qingxi entered the backyard and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Taoist Lu has come to Qingyun Tower!"

"Is that magical Taoist Master Lu here?" Concubine Liu was a little excited and looked at Qi Jun: "Your Majesty, I want to meet Taoist Master Lu."

Qi Jun also wanted to see Lu Mingshan.

He wanted to know why he had to suffer so much in his life.

He is the emperor, the most noble person in the world, but he feels uncomfortable every day, and living is torture.

Qi Jun immediately asked people to invite Lu Mingshan in.

Lu Qing said happily: "Your Majesty, old slave, please go."

The emperor agreed immediately.

Lu Qingxi smiled and came to the restaurant lobby and saw Lu Mingshan surrounded by a group of people.

Lu Qingxi approached with two guards and bowed to Lu Mingshan: "Master Lu, my master invites you."

The eunuch's voice was different from that of ordinary people. After hearing Lu Qingxi's words, everyone around Lu Mingshan moved aside.

Lu Mingshan glanced at Lu Qingxi and said with a smile: "Then go."

Lu Qingxi took Lu Mingshan to the backyard. When passing by the waiter, he said: "Send the dishes ordered by Director Lu to the backyard."

He and Lu Mingshan quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone in the restaurant breathed a sigh of relief: "That is?"

"That's Master Chitose."

"I heard that the emperor likes the food at Qingyun Tower."

"The emperor likes to come to Qingyun Tower, so it's true!"

…

These people actually want to make friends with Lu Mingshan and let Lu Mingshan "point out" them.

But the emperor came out... They could only watch Lu Mingshan go away.

Lu Mingshan soon came to the emperor.

"Taoist Master Lu, this is my master." Lu Qingxi introduced.

Lu Mingshan looked at the emperor for a while and said with a smile: "Pindao has met the emperor."

"Do you know me?" Qi Jun looked at Lu Mingshan curiously, but unfortunately he couldn't see Lu Mingshan clearly.

"The dragon energy on the emperor's body is condensed and never dissipates. He must be a nine-five-year-old king."

Qi Jun smiled and called to Lu Mingshan: "Taoist Master, please take a seat."

Lu Mingshan didn't panic at all and sat down.

He thought he would be scared when he saw the emperor, but when he actually saw it...the emperor in front of him was ordinary and very old, and the threat he posed to him was not as great as Lu Qingxi's.

Lu Mingshan's calm attitude made the emperor very fond of him.

He has seen many trembling people, and he likes people like Lu Mingshan.

In addition... After Lu Mingshan sat down, Qi Jun discovered that his eyebrows were indeed white on one side and black on the other: "Master Lu, why are your eyebrows white?"

Lu Mingshan said: "Pindao looked at things he shouldn't have looked at and wasted his energy, so his eyebrows turned white."

"I see." Qi Jun smiled and asked Lu Mingshan some questions, such as how Lu Mingshan found out that Wei Dongzheng's concubine was having an affair.

Lu Mingshan said: "Your Majesty, you can always tell something about a person's fortune by looking at his face or palm."

"Master Lu, would you like to help me take a look?" Qi Jun asked.

Lu Mingshan said: "You are a good emperor, I am naturally willing."

The emperor was in a good mood when he heard Lu Mingshan say that he was a good emperor. Lu Mingshan looked at the emperor seriously: "You are the emperor, and you have dragon energy to protect your body. I can't see it clearly, I can only see it roughly... Your Majesty , your parents are not close to each other, and your children are also not close to each other..."

Lu Mingshan briefly talked about the emperor's life.

With the information provided by Lu Qingxi, every word he said was in Qi Jun's heart.

Qi Jun listened to Lu Mingshan's words and said, "I do have a close relationship with my children. One daughter died young, and the remaining two daughters are not close to me either... Alas!"

There is no doubt that his parents had a close relationship. His mother passed away very early, and his father didn't like him at all and never paid attention to him.

As for the relationship with children... He loves his two princesses very much, but he has to deal with official duties and is in poor health. He doesn't have much contact with the two princesses, so the two princesses are not close to him.

After the eldest princess got married, she spent all her time collecting beautiful men and didn't care about him at all. He didn't see him more than a few times a year.

As for the second princess...the second princess married and followed her husband. She never returned to the palace on her own initiative. She only entered the palace when he summoned her. She was taciturn and said nothing when she entered the palace...

"The emperor only has three daughters?" Lu Mingshan frowned.

"What?" The emperor was puzzled. He indeed only had three women. Even people outside thought he only had two women.

Lu Mingshan looked at the emperor seriously: "Your Majesty, you are destined to have a son."

"What did you say?" The emperor was surprised.

Lu Mingshan had a serious face, his eyes fell on the emperor's eyebrows, and his voice was decisive: "Your Majesty, you are destined to have a son. This son should be quite young."

"Master Lu, I don't have a prince under my knees," the emperor said.

He originally believed in Lu Mingshan, but when Lu Mingshan said this... he began to wonder if Lu Mingshan might be just showing up.

"Your Majesty, wait, I'll take another look." Lu Mingshan continued to look at the emperor seriously.

He looked at it for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became uncomfortable. His eyes did not focus on the emperor's face, but looked at an unknown place behind the emperor.

"Although you are the emperor, your life is not good. You have been in many disasters since you were young, and you are destined to have daughters and no children. But you often do good deeds, and God takes pity on you and gives you a son. But although this son Linghui, but also has a difficult life, and may not mature... But if this child grows up, he will definitely integrate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one..."

Lu Mingshan's voice was a little hollow, very different from his previous tone, and his whole demeanor and movements looked different, as if something was controlling his body.

What he said was not what Lu Qingxi told him!

Lu Qingxi frowned slightly.

He was worried about an accident and wanted to stop it, but the emperor was there!

And... what Lu Mingshan said, can he match up with Li Qingzhi?

Li Qingzhi has a photographic memory and can definitely be called spiritually intelligent!

"This son is a man of great luck. Although he suffered many hardships when he was young, when he grows up to more than 20 years old, he will be able to soar into the sky. People around him will also benefit. If you can recognize him, you can extend your life. , keep fit and healthy."

Lu Mingshan said for sure.

Everyone else present thought he was talking nonsense.

The emperor also felt that what he said was impossible.

Where did he get his son?

If he had a son, why would he have to bear with King Yan of Jin?

Lu Mingshan didn't care about the thoughts of the people in front of him. He seemed to be trapped in a mysterious atmosphere and didn't care about the reactions of the people around him: "Your Majesty, your son has grown up, and his luck is soaring and blessings are endless."

Chapter 224 True ability

Lu Qingxi looked at Lu Mingshan, a little angry.

He didn't let Lu Mingshan say so much!

Lu Mingshan just firmly said that if Qi Jun had a son, Qi Jun would be dubious, and then he would investigate. After this investigation, he would find out that the child Liu Guifei gave birth to was actually a boy.

In the end, Lu Mingshan said so much!

He also said that that person has great luck, and Qi Jun's acquaintance with him will increase his life span and improve his health...

This is too false!

Lu Qingxi stood on the right side of Qi Jun and glared at Lu Mingshan fiercely.

Lu Mingshan had always been obedient before, but now he suddenly did something like this... He didn't want his life?

If it weren't for Lu Mingshan's exaggerated words, those words could have some relevance to Li Qingzhi... Lu Qingxi would have wanted someone to take him down on the spot!

But Qi Jun is here!

Lu Qingxi finally restrained himself and only looked at Lu Mingshan gloomily.

In fact, the worst outcome now is that Lu Mingshan reveals their deal.

But even if Lu Mingshan said it, nothing would happen to him.

The emperor hated King Jin and King Yan so much that he was considering letting them inherit the throne. He just did some small tricks to survive... The emperor would at most reprimand him, but if he cried and begged, it would be fine.

But if this is the case... finding a fake prince for the emperor will not work.

Lu Mingshan naturally saw Lu Qingxi's gaze that seemed to be murderous.

But he pretended not to see it and sat there calmly.

It was at this time that Qi Jun said: "Master Lu, what you said is a bit exaggerated."

Lu Mingshan said: "What I said is true. Your Majesty does have a son. As for whether you believe it or not, that is your business."

After Lu Mingshan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Before, there were a few close guards around the emperor, but after the emperor asked Lu Mingshan to read his fortune, Lu Qingxi had already asked these people to leave.

At this moment, there were only four people in the room, Qi Jun, Liu Guifei, Lu Qingxi and Lu Mingshan.

Therefore, no one stopped Lu Mingshan when he walked out, and he walked out smoothly.

Qi Jun looked at Lu Mingshan's back, feeling a little confused.

He had heard a lot about Lu Mingshan's deeds, and he actually believed in Lu Mingshan at first.

Later, when Lu Mingshan talked too much, he felt that what Lu Mingshan said was wrong.

But Lu Mingshan is so good, why would he say these false-sounding words to him?

Lu Mingshan knew that he was the emperor, and he must also know that he only had two princesses... Why did he still say that?

Is it possible that what Lu Mingshan said is true?

Qi Jun subconsciously stood up and walked out.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi both supported Qi Jun.

Concubine Liu Guifei thought that everything today was arranged by Lu Qingxi, and what Lu Mingshan said was what Lu Qingxi asked him to say.

As for why Lu Mingshan spoke so well of Li Qingzhi... Li Qingzhi was already good!

Moreover, Li Qing is skilled in medicine. If he helps Qi Jun recuperate, maybe Qi Jun's life can really be extended!

Concubine Liu Guifei had resentment towards Qi Jun, but she didn't want Qi Jun to die: "Your Majesty, is what Taoist Lu said true or false?"

"I want to ask again." Qi Jun walked out, planning to chase Lu Mingshan.

As soon as they arrived outside the yard, they saw Lu Mingshan standing under a tree, looking up at the sky.

Hearing the movement, Lu Mingshan turned his head...

Qi Jun was okay, but Lu Qingxi and Liu Guifei were both stunned.

Before, Lu Mingshan only had one eyebrow white, but now, both of his eyebrows are white!

At this time, Qi Jun also saw Lu Mingshan's appearance clearly: "Taoist Master Lu, your eyebrows..."

Lu Mingshan looked calm: "It doesn't matter, I just said something I shouldn't have said and wasted a little energy... Your Majesty, your son is in the capital, and it is related to your noble concubine."

After speaking, he looked at Concubine Liu with deep meaning.

Qi Jun actually didn't believe it before, but now... he believed it. Could it be that he really has a son living outside?

If this child is related to Concubine Liu Guifei... Was it a son that Concubine Liu gave birth to?

He was not in the capital when Concubine Liu gave birth! At that time, there were people from the former imperial concubine around Concubine Liu!

He and Concubine Liu always thought that Concubine Liu only gave birth to a daughter and was killed on the spot, but... is it possible that Concubine Liu gave birth to a son at that time?

Or maybe Concubine Liu gave birth to twins?

Qi Jun looked at Lu Mingshan's white eyebrows and trembled with excitement.

Lu Qingxi stayed on the spot.

How did Lu Mingshan's eyebrows change?

At this moment, Lu Mingshan's expression suddenly changed. He looked around in confusion, as if he didn't know what was going on. When he saw Lu Qingxi, panic flashed in his eyes.

He looked scared.

Fortunately, although Qi Jun could clearly see the color of his eyebrows, he could not see the changes in his eyes.

Lu Qingxi said: "Master Lu, can I see your eyebrows?"

As soon as Lu Qingxi said these words, Concubine Liu and the emperor were eager to give it a try.

They also wanted to take a closer look at Lu Mingshan's eyebrows.

Lu Mingshan adjusted himself and smiled gently: "Of course."

So, Lu Qingxi stepped forward and tugged Lu Mingshan's eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor and Concubine Liu also took action.

Lu Mingshan looked helpless: "Pindao's eyebrows are real."

These eyebrows are indeed real, not fake at all.

It was black before, but turned white in the blink of an eye!

"Daozhang Lu, you said that my son is in the capital. Where is he?" Qi Jun asked.

Lu Mingshan seemed a little confused, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, your body is filled with dragon energy, I can't see clearly."

"Taoist priest, your eyebrows are all white. You must have lost too much energy and you should take a good rest! Taoist priest, would you like to have something to eat? I will ask the imperial doctor to check your body later?" Qi Jun said.

Lu Mingshan laughed: "You can eat something, but the imperial doctor doesn't need it."

Qi Jun took Lu Mingshan back and asked people to bring hot dishes to Lu Mingshan and treat him to it.

He couldn't hold back and asked about his son again, but this time Lu Mingshan didn't say anything or reveal anything.

Qi Jun could only suppress it and persuade Lu Mingshan to eat more.

Concubine Liu Guifei imitated Qi Jun and also showed excitement to persuade Lu Mingshan to eat. Only Lu Qingxi remained silent and looked a little confused.

His eyes never left Lu Mingshan.

When Lu Mingshan's eyebrows were one black and one white, he had checked Lu Mingshan's eyebrows. They were all real, one black and one white, and they were not dyed with eyebrow powder.

Today, Lu Mingshan suddenly changed his appearance, said a lot of things he was not allowed to say, and then his eyebrows turned white...

Is this Lu Mingshan really capable?

Lu Qingxi suddenly remembered that Lu Mingshan had said before that he didn't know what he said during the plum appreciation party, nor did he know how his eyebrows turned white.

At that time, he thought what Lu Mingshan said was a lie and didn't take it seriously, but looking at it now... could what Lu Mingshan said be the truth?

Maybe Lu Mingshan really didn't know what he said at the plum appreciation party. Just like today, the following words may not have been said by Lu Mingshan himself. Lu Mingshan looked like one of those great dancers who had invited the gods to get on top of him...

If you think about it carefully, what Lu Mingshan said later was actually correct.

He said that the emperor would have a son, and it was related to Concubine Liu Guifei... He didn't say that the son was his biological son, and wasn't Li Qingzhi, the fake prince, the one that Concubine Liu liked?

So what he said is true.

If he is really capable, then he said that Li Qingzhi has great luck, and also said that with Li Qingzhi, the emperor's health will be better... Is this true?

Yes! Li Qing practices medical skills! The medical skills are pretty good!

So if the emperor recognizes Li Qingzhi as the prince, his health will get better?

If that's the case, that would be great!

Lu Qingxi waited until Lu Mingshan had eaten and drank enough before he came back to his senses, and then immediately made arrangements for Lu Mingshan to return to the palace with them.

Qi Jun felt that Lu Mingshan had lost his energy and rested. After returning to the palace, he immediately asked Lu Qingxi to take Lu Mingshan to rest. As for himself... he had something to say with Concubine Liu!

Lu Qingxi took Lu Mingshan to the room where he used to rest when he was in the palace.

He didn't let anyone follow him, he just took Lu Mingshan into the house.

He has always been very careful. There is nothing else in his room except a bed. This bed is a bit high, so people can see clearly under the bed.

In short, he cannot hide people in this room, and it is safe to talk here.

Lu Qingxi asked Lu Mingshan: "What happened before?"

Lu Mingshan had a mournful face: "Master Qiansui, I don't know what happened. When I came back to my senses, I was standing in the yard. I don't even know what I said. Master Qiansui, what did I really say?" Do not know at all!"

After saying that, Lu Mingshan knelt down, hugged Lu Qingxi's legs and begged: "Master Qiansui, please spare me!"

Lu Qingxi was speechless: "Get up!"

Lu Mingshan stood up, looking submissive.

Lu Qingxi looked at him and asked, "Have you ever been in this situation before?"

"Yes, yes. It was like this during the plum blossom appreciation party before." Lu Mingshan said quickly, and also made up some previous experiences to tell Lu Qingxi: "In the beginning, my hair turned white after something like this happened. Recently, I don't know what's going on, but my eyebrows are white."

Lu Qingxi took a deep look at Lu Mingshan: "You have entered the palace now, and the emperor values you. You should stay with the emperor. As for what the emperor asks you, just say you don't know. You can tell the emperor that it doesn't matter. It is very difficult to see through the emperor or the future prince, and it requires a lot of energy to see, and you don't have the energy now."

"Okay!" Lu Mingshan agreed.

Lu Qingxi asked someone to take Lu Mingshan to rest elsewhere, but he began to think about it.

Although he originally decided to make Li Qingzhi the emperor, he didn't think much of Li Qingzhi.

This is not really royal blood!

But if Li Qingzhi is so lucky, then such a person must not be offended!

He must treat Li Qingzhi well!

I didn't expect that there really are ghosts and ghosts in this world!

On the other side, the emperor was talking to Concubine Liu Guifei: "Aman, was the daughter you gave birth to really a daughter?"

Concubine Liu said: "Your Majesty, I was lying down, how could I see clearly? We women have a narrow escape from childbirth. I almost fainted at that time, the pain was so severe..."

When the queen gave birth to the eldest princess, the emperor was waiting outside. Later, when he went to provide disaster relief, he even saw with his own eyes that a woman was unable to give birth to a child, leaving one dead and two dead.

Giving birth is really a dangerous thing. The emperor hugged Concubine Liu to comfort her.

Back then he was just the prince, Lu Qingxi was just a eunuch beside the prince, not to mention Concubine Liu, she was just a woman in the prince's backyard!

At that time, the late emperor's noble concubine was extremely powerful. The prince was not in the capital, and the prince concubine only cared about protecting her daughter...

Concubine Liu Guifei might have given birth to a son at that time!

"Aman, we need to find the people from back then and ask about the situation back then!" the emperor said.

Of course, Concubine Liu had no objection. She wished she could say, "Your Majesty, if only what Master Lu said was true! Then you would have a son who is blessed and can bring you good luck..."

"Yes..." The emperor felt hot when he thought of what Lu Mingshan said.

"The child is now twenty-five or six years old, right? I don't know if he is married and has children..." Liu Guifei said again.

The emperor's heart grew hot when he thought that his son might have given him a grandson!

Of his two princesses, the eldest princess has never given birth to a child, while the second princess has given birth to several children. However, the second princess does not kiss him, and the children born to the second princess do not kiss him either...

I don't know what his son is like!

The emperor immediately asked Lu Qingxi to investigate the matter.

This was already expected by Lu Qingxi.

The emperor trusts him very much and will definitely leave the matter to him to investigate. It is very easy for him to do anything.

Lu Qingxi discussed this matter with Concubine Liu several times, and finally decided to place the crime of abandoning the prince on the head of the previous Jin king.

Concubine Liu has always been thinking about her daughter who died young, so naturally she will not deprive her of her royal status... According to the plot they designed, Concubine Liu actually gave birth to a pair of twins.

Her husband gave birth to a daughter, but she was killed by the late emperor's concubine. After that, she fainted, and the person who murdered the princess was also caught...

During the war and chaos, she gave birth to another son.

It's just that the people around her were not loyal. The first Jin king arranged for someone to be around her, and that person secretly took away the son born to Concubine Liu Guifei, took him out of the capital and threw him away!

Of course, the truth needs to be found out bit by bit, and it is not easy to tell the emperor directly.

As for Li Qingzhi...

That night, Lu Qingxi looked for an opportunity and said to Concubine Liu: "My Lady, you can mention Li Qingzhi more in front of the Emperor. If you find a chance, you can also ask the Emperor to meet Li Qingzhi."

If what Lu Mingshan said is true...then it will be good for the emperor to have contact with Li Qingzhi!

"Okay," Concubine Liu agreed, and then said, "Isn't what you asked Master Lu to say today a bit exaggerated?"

Lu Qingxi smiled bitterly: "Mother, I only ask him to tell the emperor that the emperor is destined to have a son."

Concubine Liu: "..."

Li Qingzhi didn't know what happened in the palace.

Today, he entered Qingyun Tower after Lu Mingshan was invited away by Lu Qingxi, then secretly went to help Lu Mingshan, and left before the emperor took Lu Mingshan out of Qingyun Tower.

The emperor didn't see him, and the others didn't think much about it.

He just took his wife and children to Qingyun Tower for a meal today, didn't he?

After returning home, Jin Xiaoye looked at Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, you said this matter...is it done?"

What Li Qingzhi did was not hidden from her. Although she thought it was a bit risky, but Li Qingzhi wanted to do it, she still chose to support it.

"It should be done." Li Qing insisted.

If Lu Qingxi and Liu Guifei don't want to live in desolation for the rest of their lives, they will definitely make this matter a success. And as long as this thing is done... it will be much easier for him to do things in the future.

At least, he no longer has to worry about Jin Xiaoye doing business and offending Prince Yan.

Jin Xiaoye and Li Zhu opened a shop together, but they didn't have much contact with each other. On the surface, the shop belonged to Li Zhu, so Jin Xiaoye didn't care.

But if you look carefully, you can always find something.

Li Qingzhi has always thought more... He was worried that Prince Yan would cause trouble for Jin Xiaoye.

When Li Qingzhi thought this, Duke Yan really found out about Jin Xiaoye!

At the beginning, Prince Yan did not investigate Li Qingzhi in detail and did not know much about Li Qingzhi.

He has no one in Jiangnan, and he has never understood much about the situation in Jiang'an Province.

But after suspecting that Li Qingzhi was Lu Qingxi's man, he carefully investigated Li Qingzhi.

This investigation... Jinye Embroidery Shop was opened by Li Qingzhi's wife, and this matter was found out!

He's not sure yet whether the two shops that Shopkeeper Mu recently opened to steal his business are related to Li Qingzhi's wife, but Shopkeeper Mu has made a lot of money relying on the Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop!

Prince Yan had no good impression of Li Qingzhi at that time!

Later, he saw the book written by Li Qingzhi in Jiang'an Province.

Li Qingzhi praised Gou Tongzhi so much, and also praised Governor Zhang. I heard that Governor Zhang valued him very much, and Juewizhai even sent food to Governor Zhang every day.

Li Qingzhi is most likely a member of Governor Zhang!

He is a member of Governor Zhang, who is also a member of Lu Qingxi.

Prince Yan has been targeted by Lu Qingxi a lot recently, and he is very angry. However, he has nothing to do with Lu Qingxi. Naturally, he wants to cause some trouble for Li Qingzhi.

But he has always been careful... Prince Yanjun said: "Inform King Jin of the found situation about Li Qingzhi."

It would be best for King Jin to find trouble with Li Qingzhi, and then he can help a group of Li Qingzhi to win over Li Qingzhi.

He didn't want to give up on such a success.

Moreover... Li Qingzhi is a scholar, so he shouldn't want to become Lu Qingxi's lackey?

After Prince Yan thought about this matter, he left his residence and went to attend a reading group held by Juren in the capital.

During this time, he had many contacts with the people in the capital.

Because he is approachable, many people have a favorable impression of him, and his reputation in the literary circle is getting better and better.

Although King Jin told people that he had something to do with the loss of Yu County flood relief money, King Jin had no evidence. He was still very young at the time, so everyone thought what King Jin said was false.

At this time, the scholars in the capital all hoped that the emperor's chosen prince would be him.

Prince Yan was in a very good mood when he thought of this.

But when he was riding a carriage to attend a reading club, he passed by the jewelry shop and rouge shop owned by Qian Fugui.

His two shops were deserted, and almost no one came to buy anything. But the shop opened by shopkeeper Mu across the street was just the opposite!

The jewelry shop was crowded with people, and the rouge shop was also bustling with people. There were too many carriages in front of the store, and some carriage drivers could only drive their carriages to stay elsewhere.

Prince Yan's mood immediately deteriorated and he couldn't help but scolded him for being "immoral".

Li Zhu arranged the two shops according to Li Qingzhi's suggestion, and also found some women to serve as shop assistants according to Li Qingzhi's suggestion.

These days, the clerks in the stores are basically all men, but the clerks in the two new shops opened by Li Zhu are all women.

Not only that, in that rouge shop, makeup girls were also hired to help people put on makeup.

As long as you buy five taels of rouge gouache or soap in the rouge shop, you can get a small printed silver coin. This small silver coin is made of silver and weighs exactly one penny of silver. You can spend it directly or take it. Wear it and come to the shop to find the makeup girl in the shop to put on makeup and comb your hair.

Jewelry shops will also give you silver coins, but you have to buy something worth ten taels of silver from the jewelry shop before they give it away. After that, you can take the small silver coins and go to the rouge shop to do makeup.

Because of this, the business of these two shops is getting better and better. In addition, these two shops are very large, and female customers can have free tea and snacks when they come... Some ladies in the capital are shopping here. The shop became a daily pastime.

After Lu Mingshan entered the palace, Lu Qingxi sent a message to her so that she didn't have to look for anyone anymore.

Li Zhu felt much more relaxed and focused entirely on his two newly opened shops.

Today, she came to Rouge Shop.

There are many people in the shop. Some of the female customers are drinking tea and chatting, some are looking at the rouge and gouache in the shop, and some are sitting there and letting the makeup girl do their makeup.

Ladies and wives from wealthy families generally do not let outsiders do their makeup. Some of them do their own makeup, while others ask the maids around them to help them do their makeup.

But now... they come to buy rouge and gouache just so they can do their makeup at the rouge shop!

"The skills of these makeup girls are getting better and better." Li Zhu sighed when he saw the makeup girls under his hands put on people's makeup.

She invited these makeup artists, but their skills were not that good at first.

As for why their craftsmanship was not that good in the beginning, and why people flocked to them for makeup... Li Qingzhi told her in detail about eye makeup.

After learning how to do it, her makeup artist can make people's eyes look very beautiful.

Coupled with some other makeup techniques Li Qingzhi has memorized...the makeup done by these makeup girls may not be perfect, but it is definitely above average!

In addition, Li Qing has drawn some tools suitable for combing hair, so that they can have better-looking hair...ladies and ladies in the capital naturally flock to it.

"Now the ladies in the capital, if they want to attend a banquet, they are all rushing to ask them to help with makeup." The woman next to Shopkeeper Mu said.

Shopkeeper Mu said: "We can recruit more women and teach them how to put on makeup and style their hair. In the future, we can charge money to do makeup, and we can also come to help people do makeup."

"Okay." The person next to Shopkeeper Mu took note.

Shopkeeper Mu visited the rouge shop and then the jewelry shop.

There are many people in the jewelry shop.

The jewelry that Jin Xiaoye brought to the capital had already been sold out. Fortunately, Jin Xiaoye brought a lot of glass, and she found many craftsmen to help make jewelry, so the store could supply enough jewelry.

The most popular items sold in the shop are ordinary silver hairpins inlaid with glass. This type of silver hairpin is quite simple to make, and work such as polishing glass can be left to people with little experience. No master is needed. Spend time on it.

"The jewelry is so beautiful."

"This glass is very nice."

"It turns out that the glass is not all green, and I don't know if there is red. It would look better if there was red."

"The most important thing is not that it looks good, but that it's cheap. Other gemstones are not so cheap!"

"The styles of these jewelry are also good. I heard that even the imperial concubine likes them!"

…

Chapter 225 Kindness

Li Zhu was in a good mood when she saw that everyone in the jewelry shop was saying how good their jewelry was.

When she left the jewelry shop, she happened to bump into the shop next door, with a sad face and gray hair, looking at Qian Fugui, who was extremely old.

The two looked at each other, and then Qian Fugui entered the shop and Li Zhu left in a sedan.

People passing by saw this scene and started talking: "That shopkeeper Qian is very unlucky. He finally opened a shop, but unexpectedly he met shopkeeper Mu."

"Shopkeeper Qian's business has been robbed by Shopkeeper Mu!"

"I heard that shopkeeper Qian bought a lot of goods, but now he can't sell them."

"Those jewelry are okay, but the rouge and gouache are no longer as useful as they were after being stored for a long time..."

…

These people looked at Qian Fugui with sympathy, and then went into Shopkeeper Mu's shop to buy things.

People in the capital say that Shopkeeper Mu's goods are good. If they go to buy Shopkeeper Qian's goods, others will laugh at them.

In the palace, after Qi Jun got up, he washed his hands with soap and said to Concubine Liu: "Aman, I want to see Taoist Master Lu."

"Your Majesty, I will go with you." Liu Guifei said.

After chatting with Lu Qingxi yesterday, Concubine Liu learned that what Lu Mingshan said later when he was in Qingyun Tower was not instructed by Lu Qingxi, but what Lu Mingshan felt and said himself.

Li Qingzhi, is he really the son God sent to the emperor?

No matter what, this is beneficial to her, Concubine Liu thought, she should mention Li Qingzhi in front of the emperor more in the past two days.

The emperor learned that Concubine Liu also wanted to see Lu Mingshan, so he and Concubine Liu took a chariot to find Lu Mingshan.

While in the car, the emperor couldn't help but say: "Aman, tell me... are we really having a child?"

"It should be true, Taoist Master Lu is so amazing!" Liu Guifei said: "Your Majesty, I thought about it all night yesterday... Do you remember? My belly was very big at that time, much bigger than ordinary people."

More than twenty years have passed, and he was not around during the late stages of Liu Guifei's pregnancy... The emperor had long forgotten how big Liu Guifei's belly was at that time.

But Concubine Liu Guifei said so,

There is certainly nothing wrong with that.

"I remember... Aman, your belly was very big at that time. Maybe you were pregnant with twins at that time." Qi Jun's eyes fell on Liu Guifei's belly.

"Yes, I fainted when I saw Bao'er being killed, and I can't remember anything that happened after that..." Concubine Liu told half-truths and half-falsehoods about what happened that year.

Concubine Liu Guifei was unwilling to talk about what happened that night before, and Qi Jun didn't know much about the situation that day.

When he returned to the capital, the servant who had harmed his daughter had been beaten to death, but nothing had happened to the late emperor and noble concubine behind the scenes. His father even asked him not to pursue the case...

Only now does Qi Jun know what happened that year.

At that time, the mansion was in chaos, the Crown Princess didn't care, and his Aman didn't have many people under his command. Although Lu Qingxi was in charge, he didn't have much power...

Maybe, someone really stole his child!

Concubine Liu cried as she spoke: "Your Majesty, if we really have a son, he must have suffered a lot in these years. Taoist Master Lu said that he had a bad fate in his early years and had to be in his twenties before he turned around. He didn't know that he What life was like in the beginning."

"Yeah..." The emperor sighed.

As they were talking, the two came to the palace where Lu Mingshan lived.

Lu Mingshan was treated very well in the palace. After all, he was a guest invited by the emperor.

He was drinking tea when Qi Jun and Concubine Liu arrived.

Qi Jun saw him and stepped forward. Lu Mingshan stood up and supported Qi Jun: "Your Majesty, please sit down."

"Master Lu, how are you?" Qi Jun looked at Lu Mingshan's snow-white eyebrows and spoke very politely.

Lu Mingshan said: "I am no longer in trouble. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Qi Jun chatted with Lu Mingshan for a few words, and couldn't help but ask about his son again.

Lu Mingshan said: "The Blessed Immortal Lord, Your Majesty, you and he are father and son, and you are destined to be together."

After saying this, Lu Mingshan was unwilling to say more.

The emperor could only leave in despair and went to Concubine Liu's palace.

Concubine Liu hugged Qi An and talked about Li Qingzhi: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Li Jieyuan has a pair of twin sons who are exactly the same and very cute. They also like An An very much. They call me grandma and brother An An... …"

Concubine Liu was a few years older than the emperor. She was not young yet, and she looked much older than Mrs. Qian. When she was at the Li family, she asked Li Damao and Li Ermao to call her grandma.

Thinking of the two children, Concubine Liu showed a smile on her face: "I said An An was my child and asked them to call An An uncle, but they were not happy. Later, they refused to call me grandma and called me aunt. They still I raised a few chickens, and I heard that I hatched them myself after reading Qingdu Sanren's book..."

Qi Jun had people read to him the books of Qingdu Sanren, which naturally included "Qingdu Travels".

Some people felt that this book was not good because there was no emperor in the world in the book. They even petitioned Qi Jun to ban the book because of this.

But Qi Jun didn't take it seriously.

It's just a book. There have been articles about the world of Datong in the past. Moreover, this book needs to be banned. Will "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" also need to be banned?

Qi Jun had a good impression of the Qingdu San people and did not listen to these officials at all.

When he heard Concubine Liu talking about Li Qingzhi's two sons and learned that these two children treated the chicks they hatched as children, the emperor couldn't help but curl up his lips.

The older he gets, the more he likes children, and he finds it interesting to hear interesting stories about children.

Speaking of Li Qingzhi, he had a good impression of this person the first time he met him!

etc! The emperor suddenly remembered something.

Lu Qingxi once said that Li Qingzhi looks a bit like him!

Lu Mingshan said that he was destined to be his son. Is it possible that Li Qingzhi is his son?

After learning that he had a son, Qi Jun had been wondering who his son was.

The things that Daochang Lu calculated after losing his energy and turning one of his eyebrows white are most likely true, so his son is blessed with great fortune.

Such a person must be very outstanding, and Li Qingzhi is very outstanding, isn't he?

The more Qi Jun thought about it, the more excited he became, and he said to Concubine Liu: "Aman, let's go see Li Qingzhi tomorrow. I want to thank him in person."

Concubine Liu was stunned. She mentioned Li Qingzhi because she wanted Qi Jun to go see Li Qingzhi, but she didn't expect that Qi Jun took the initiative to go before she opened her mouth.

Qi Jun added: "The first time I saw this Li Jieyuan, I felt that he was destined to me."

Qi Jun wanted to tell him about his suspicion that Li Qingzhi was his son, but he was afraid that it would not be in vain to make Concubine Liu sad, so he did not say it.

Concubine Liu Guifei thought that Qi Jun liked Li Qingzhi very much when he first met him, and smiled: "Okay, we will go see him tomorrow and go quietly."

"Okay." Qi Jun said.

The two agreed, and Concubine Liu began to think about something else.

Lu Qingxi collected Li Qingzhi's articles and books for her. Would she like to read them to the emperor?

At this moment, Qi Jun said, "I heard that he wrote a book for children? Aman, let someone read it to An An."

Qi Jun took the initiative to mention it!

Concubine Liu took out the storybook written by Li Qingzhi and said, "Your Majesty, let me read it."

Qi Jun knew that Li Qingzhi had written some books, and Concubine Liu Guifei had told him about this before.

But he didn't know what was written in those books.

Now he is listening to Concubine Liu reading this storybook, sometimes it is "The Crow Drinks Water", sometimes it is "The Magic Pen Ma Liang"... He quite likes it.

This Li Qingzhi is a person who likes children, just like him.

Qi Jun had a better impression of Li Qingzhi and thought that when he met Li Qingzhi, he would have a good chat with him. But he had to go secretly so that King Jin and King Yan could not find out.

Otherwise...if Li Qingzhi were really his child, he would be easily harmed.

The palace has been cleaned up, and Lu Qingxi and Qi Jun still have people they can trust, so there is no problem in meeting someone quietly.

Qi Jun went out of the palace with Concubine Liu at dawn the next morning.

It's not like he thought of it like this

It was early, but he didn't feel that it was too late. It was winter now, and it was getting late too late.

In addition, they didn't want to attract attention, so they simply set off early.

The two came out secretly, not bringing many people with them, and they were crowded into a sedan.

When we arrived at Qingshi Alley in a sedan chair, it was already dawn and the alley was very lively. There were even women shouting at the top of their lungs to call their children home for breakfast.

"Your Majesty, this place is full of fireworks." Liu Guifei said.

"Yes." Qi Jun felt a little envious when he heard those voices.

He is actually a person who likes to be lively, but except for Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi, everyone else is respectful and speechless to him, so he always feels deserted.

If he and Concubine Liu were an ordinary couple, they would be very happy living in such a place full of fireworks.

Concubine Liu said again: "Your Majesty, the cooks in the Li family are very good at cooking. You didn't eat anything in the morning. We can eat some when we get to the Li family."

Qi Jun laughed: "Okay, I just want to try the Li family's food that you praised so much."

The sedan stopped at the door of Li's house, and Qi Jun heard the sound of reading aloud from the yard.

Are there children studying inside?

With a smile on his face, he winked at Lu Qingxi, who then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Li Damao, Li Ermao, Zhao Xiaodou and the others are indeed studying. Li Qingzhi is taking them to read early in the yard while waiting for breakfast to be served.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door... Li Qingzhi got up and went to open the door.

Opening the door, Li Qingzhi saw Lu Qingxi.

He didn't know Lu Qingxi originally, but when he met him at Qingyun Tower, he remembered him.

When Lu Qingxi saw Li Qingzhi, he coughed lightly, lowered his throat, and said in a voice similar to that of an ordinary man: "Li Jieyuan, my master is very grateful to you and came here to say thank you."

Li Qingzhi did not expect that just two days after Lu Mingshan entered the palace, Lu Qingxi came to the door with the emperor and Concubine Liu.

He didn't know where things were going now, but one thing was for sure.

He just pretends not to know anything.

By the way, he also wanted to give the emperor a good impression.

Li Qing said: "Please come in quickly."

He stepped aside, and Lu Qingxi also stepped aside, allowing the emperor and Concubine Liu to go in first.

Qi Jun walked forward slowly, his eyes falling on Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi's voice is very nice.

Probably because he was worried that he would fall, Li Qingzhi extended his hand to help him.

The two were very close, and Qi Jun felt as if the fog in front of his eyes had been lifted. Li Qingzhi in his eyes suddenly became much clearer.

This is a young man of about twenty-five years old, with handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. As Lu Qingxi said, he looks a bit like him.

His world became clear, and in his eyes, there was only this young man.

Qi Jun stayed on the spot and looked at Li Qingzhi blankly.

"Master Liu." Li Qingzhi called out.

Only then did Qi Jun come back to his senses, his heart beating faster and faster.

He felt that Li Qingzhi was his son!

The first time he saw Li Qingzhi, he felt an indescribable feeling of intimacy, and when he saw Li Qingzhi this time, he felt that the whole world became a little clearer.

Qi Jun suddenly thought of what Taoist Lu said.

Daochang Lu said that his son has excellent luck and that as long as he stays with his son, he will benefit.

Daochang Lu also said that his son can make him healthy.

Qi Jun was excited. When Li Qingzhi was about to let go of his hand, he held Li Qingzhi's hand and said, "Li Jieyuan, thank you."

He actually doesn't care much about his health.

No matter how good it is, it's not much better.

What he cares more about is his son.

And Li Qingzhi might be his son!

Li Qingzhi could understand Qi Jun's excitement.

He just helped Qi Jun treat his eyes.

He had experience treating Fang Jinniang's eyes, and he treated Qi Jun's eyes very quickly.

However, he did not dare to completely cure Qi Jun's eyes, so he only cured it slightly, and then used the remaining energy elsewhere.

And after he did this, the emperor would definitely treat him differently.

Qi Jun held on to Li Qingzhi's hand and Li Qingzhi helped him into the yard.

There were many people in the yard, and Zhang Zao came out of the kitchen: "Sir, the noodles are ready!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingzhi asked Qi Jun if he had eaten breakfast. When he learned that Qi Jun had not eaten yet, he invited Qi Jun to eat with him.

Qi Jun agreed immediately.

He and the palace maids and guards brought by Concubine Liu were arranged to eat in the kitchen, and he ate with Li Qingzhi, Lu Qingxi, and Li Laogen, while Concubine Liu ate with the women and children of the Li family.

Although there were a lot of people at once, because the Li family always cooks a lot, everyone can get a bowl of noodles.

This is definitely not enough to eat... Li Qingzhi asked Zhang Zao and the others to buy some steamed buns and bring them back.

There was a place selling steamed buns near Qingshi Lane. Zhang Zao took four baskets out and soon bought dozens of steamed buns. He also put a basket directly on Li Qingzhi's table.

The noodles they were given were not much, just a small bowl for each person, but Qi Jun had enough, Lu Qingxi didn't quite have enough, and wanted to eat another bun. As for Li Laogen...

"Ah Qing, I can't eat a whole bun. When you eat the buns, share some of the stuffing with me." He ate all the soup and noodles. He could eat some more now, but he couldn't eat one bigger than his fist. Meat buns.

Li Qingzhi took a bun and broke it open, letting the whole meat filling fall into Li Laogen's empty bowl, and then started eating the bun skin.

Li Laogen was very happy: "Ah Qing, you are so kind!"

Qi Jun looked at Li Laogen, slightly confused.

Concubine Liu didn't tell him that Li Qingzhi was an orphan. He didn't know until he came that Li Qingzhi had a father.

But this dad... Even if his eyesight is bad, he can still see that he has nothing in common with Li Qingzhi.

This is definitely not my biological father!

"Brother, you don't look much like Li Jieyuan." The emperor was a little impatient and spoke out.

Li Laogen said: "It certainly doesn't look like it. He is the son I picked up, not my biological son."

Qi Jun's heart skipped a beat and asked Li Qingzhi: "Li Jieyuan, your biological parents..."

"I don't know who my biological parents are either." Li Qingzhi smiled.

Qi Jun's heart was burning, and he felt more and more that Li Qingzhi was his son.

This feeling between father and son cannot be faked!

Now when he sees Li Qingzhi eating, he feels familiar!

It was normal for Qi Jun to think that the way Li Qing was holding something looked familiar.

Li Qing learned some of Liu Guifei's movements.

Everyone's expression is different, the way their eyes look and their mouth look when they speak are all different.

Even if most people want to imitate others, it is not that easy, but Li Qingzhi has a photographic memory!

He didn't completely copy Concubine Liu's demeanor, but he copied her 70% to 80%, and he was somewhat similar to Concubine Liu.

The emperor, a person who saw Concubine Liu day and night every day, would definitely find him familiar.

In fact, not only the emperor thought he looked familiar.

Lu Qingxi sat aside and watched, feeling that Li Qingzhi was drawing him close to her from the bottom of her heart. He also felt that Li Qingzhi was a bit like Concubine Liu Guifei.

What a hell!

If he hadn't known that everything was arranged by him, he might have thought that Li Qingzhi was the biological son of the emperor and Concubine Liu!

Qi Jun asked about Li Qingzhi's life experience, and Li Qingzhi said what he had said to Concubine Liu before.

Qi Jun became more and more excited as he listened.

Before Li Qingzhi, his life was indeed miserable!

It wasn't until he was in his twenties that his life became smoother. Then he got Xiao Sanyuan and passed the criminal investigation exam!

He is the Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province, and he has the ability of photographic memory... If he doesn't have great luck, who else can be called lucky?

Qi Jun almost lost his composure!

"You child, you have suffered too much, eat more." Qi Jun pushed the basket of buns in front of Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi was not polite. After finishing the bun skin, he ate five more buns in one go.

Qi Jun looked worried: "Will you feel uncomfortable if you eat so much?" He was not in good health and would feel uncomfortable if he ate a little more.

Li Laogen regarded Qi Jun as a businessman, so Qi Jun was not afraid: "He has a big appetite, he can eat more! Mr. Liu, my son is smart, good at reading, and eats a lot!" "

Qi Jun was a little unhappy when he heard Li Laogen say "my son".

This is not Li Laogen's son at all, but he may be his son!

By the way, this man actually ate the stuffing himself and let Li Qingzhi eat the bun skin! He doesn't care about the children!

Qi Jun looked at Li Laogen dissatisfied, but Li Laogen was not good at reading people's faces: "Master Liu, my Ah Qing is really amazing. He is good at everything. He passed the exam at a young age. Juren, or Jieyuan...how many sons do you have?"

Qi Jun's mouth twitched: "One."

"The burned child is your only son, so you are so pitiful." Li Laogen's face was filled with sympathy.

Qi Jun: "..."

Li Laogen is so eloquent that he will offend the emperor if he continues to speak like this!

Li Qing said: "Dad, there are some dates in the kitchen. Go and eat them, and then take Damao and the others outside to play for a while."

Li Laogen likes sweets. He has met a few people in Qingshi Lane recently and is quite happy to go out and play...

He immediately went to the kitchen to get dates.

After he left, everyone was finally able to chat normally.

Lu Qingxi said little to cover up his voice, but Qi Jun said a lot. He mainly asked about Li Qingzhi's affairs in Jiang'an Province, and also asked Li Qingzhi what he thought of Governor Zhang.

Li Qingzhi naturally praised Governor Zhang again and again.

Li Laogen happened to come back to get some gloves to keep out the cold. When he heard this, he interrupted: "Governor Zhang really likes my Ah Qing. He even came to my house for dinner. At that time, he sat at the same table with me and kept praising me for making Ah Qing." Well educated! Have you met Governor Zhang? He is a high-ranking official and looks majestic..."

Qi Jun: "..." He remembered that Zhang Zhiru was quite thin and majestic?

"Grandpa!" Li Damao shouted outside.

Li Laogen went out immediately.

Qi Jun heard Li Damao's voice and thought of another thing.

If Li Qingzhi was his son, those twins would be his grandsons!

He suddenly had two grandchildren!

Qi Jun was so excited that he wanted to stay with Li Qingzhi.

But he must leave, and only after he leaves can he find someone to investigate Li Qingzhi.

The main thing is... it doesn't matter if he stays here all the time. Although he thought so, Qi Jun still had lunch here before leaving.

When he left, Li Qingzhi went to see him off.

After resting for a whole morning, the energy in Li Qingzhi's body has been fully restored. He walked beside Qi Jun and gave Qi Jun a hand when he crossed the threshold.

Qi Jun shook Li Qingzhi's hand in the morning, but after that, he and Li Qingzhi had no physical contact, and they haven't had any contact again until now!

Then that familiar, warm and comfortable feeling appeared again!

Qi Jun doesn't even want to leave!

He stood at the door and looked at Li Qingzhi reluctantly.

"Master?" Liu Guifei called out in confusion.

"Let's go." Qi Jun took a deep breath and sat on the sedan.

He had been sitting all morning and chatted a lot with Li Qingzhi.

Normally, he would have been tired and would have fallen asleep.

But now he is very energetic, and he feels that he can chat with Li Qingzhi for another afternoon!

Could this be it,

The feeling between father and son?

After Qi Jun got on the sedan, he couldn't help but look back.

Liu Guifei didn't know what Qi Jun was thinking, and was still talking to Qi Jun about Jin Xiaoye: "Xiaoye is such a good boy. She gave me some braised food from Jueweizhai..."

Qi Jun listened absently.

After the sedan chair returned to the palace, Qi Jun asked Concubine Liu to rest for a while on the pretext that he had business to discuss with Lu Qingxi.

After Concubine Liu Gui left, Lu Qingxi asked: "What is the emperor's order?"

Qi Jun likes Li Qingzhi very much, and Lu Qingxi can tell.

This is good. In this case, Qi Jun will definitely not object if he calls Li Qingzhi a prince in the future!

Fortunately, he chose Li Qingzhi. If he had chosen an orphan who knew nothing, Qi Jun would probably have a hard time cultivating a father-son relationship with him.

Just as Lu Qingxi was thinking this, he heard Qi Jun say: "Axi, I think Li Qingzhi is my son!"

Chapter 226 Medicinal Bath

Qi Jun told Lu Qingxi all about his feelings after contacting Li Qingzhi.

"When I see him, I feel friendly and comfortable. This should be the reason why we, father and son, are destined! Ah Xi, help me look up him, and the books and articles he wrote. Help me find them. I want to read them. "Qi Jun said to Lu Qingxi.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take care of things!" Lu Qing said happily, and then asked Qi Jun: "Your Majesty, do you want to tell your empress about this?"

Qi Jun thought for a while and said: "This matter has not been determined yet, let's not talk about it for now, lest she be happy in vain... But I really feel that Li Qingzhi is my child. Ah Xi, in my life, I am the first This is the first time I like a young man so much."

Lu Qingxi has no special feelings for Li Qingzhi. Even if he has a good impression, it is because Li Qingzhi saved Qi An and he found out that Li Qingzhi is a good person.

He couldn't figure out why Qi Jun only met Li Qingzhi twice and thought Li Qingzhi was his son.

There is also this so-called father-son induction...

Lu Qingxi remembered what Lu Mingshan said again. Could this Li Qingzhi really be the son God sent to the emperor?

"Axi, is there any way that I can see Li Qingzhi more? Isn't it bad that I keep looking for him?" Qi Jun asked again.

He began to miss Li Qingzhi.

Lu Qing said happily: "Your Majesty, Li Jieyuan is about to take part in the examination. You can find some books from the palace library and give them to him."

"Axi, go find some books right away, and I'll send them to him tomorrow!" Qi Jun said.

Lu Qingxi: "..." Is the Emperor too anxious? There's really no need to be in such a hurry!

"By the way, just take one. You can take the rest slowly later." Qi Jun said again.

He wanted to see Li Qingzhi every day, so he might as well bring a book there every day to avoid taking too many books at once and taking out all the books.

Qi Jun has always been a stable person, but God knows how much he wants a child.

And... after he saw Li Qingzhi, he felt really comfortable all over and felt that his body was healed!

Lu Qingxi looked at the excited Qi Jun and was dumbfounded.

When Qi Jun and Lu Qingxi were talking, the Li family and Li Laogen were looking at the gifts from Qi Jun.

Qi Jun said he was here to express his gratitude, so he specially prepared some gifts. These gifts were not expensive, but very pleasing.

At least he was liked by Li Qingzhi.

"Ah Qing, Mr. Liu is so generous. He gave us a lot of things! He also gave us money!" Li Laogen said happily: "It would be great if he came to our house every day!"

"Yes." Li Qingzhi smiled.

The emperor and Concubine Liu gave him not much silver, only two hundred taels. In addition, they also gave him several precious medicinal materials.

But these only account for a small part of the gift. Most of the gifts are various ingredients.

Dried abalone, dried mussels, various sun-dried mushrooms, fresh vegetables grown near hot springs...

In the winter when ingredients were scarce, Li Qingzhi wanted to eat them when he saw them.

He told the kitchen to make seafood noodles tomorrow morning.

Li Laogen wanted Qi Jun to come every day, and he really wanted to. After all, if Qi Jun came every day, even if Qi Jun didn't recognize him as his son in the end, he could still help heal Qi Jun's body, and even influence Qi Jun in a subtle way. idea.

But Qi Jun is the emperor, so he shouldn't come every day.

Li Qingzhi, who thought this way, heard a knock on the door early the next morning and went to open the door, only to see Qi Jun again.

This time neither Lu Qingxi nor Concubine Liu came, only Qi Jun came.

It's not that Qi Jun doesn't want to take them, it's mainly that the three of them together are too eye-catching. When he comes alone, no one pays attention.

You must know that he is often sick and it is normal not to show up. Lu Qingxi and Liu Guifei are different!

Especially Lu Qingxi, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many things for Lu Qingxi to do in the court.

"Master Liu." Li Qingzhi saw Qi Jun and called him with a smile.

Qi Jun didn't even wait for him to help him, and took the initiative to hold Li Qingzhi's hand: "Li Jieyuan, I got a good book yesterday. I thought you might be able to use it, Li Jieyuan, so I gave it to you."

The two held hands, and Qi Jun felt that indescribable feeling of intimacy again.

This Li Qingzhi is definitely his son!

Li Qingzhi noticed Qi Jun's initiative and quickly figured out the reason.

Qi Jun's physical condition is really bad. With such a physical condition, Qi Jun should feel uncomfortable all the time, and may even have pain all over his body.

And he used his golden fingers to treat Qi Jun, which could make Qi Jun feel better.

In modern times, some people with physical ailments rely on painkillers, but for Qi Jun, he is more useful than painkillers. Qi Jun must like him.

In fact, when he treated Qi'an before, Qi'an liked him very much and relied on him.

Li Qingzhi looked at the book Qi Jun brought to him and found that it was a book he had never seen before, but the name of the person who wrote the book was familiar to him. He was a great scholar from the previous dynasty!

This kind of book is absolutely precious!

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Li Qing thanked him.

"You're welcome, Li Jieyuan, I have something to ask for." Qi Jun walked in with a smile and asked someone to send a deer leg to the kitchen.

Qi Jun wanted to come to Li Qingzhi every day, but it was inappropriate to keep sending him books.

In the end, it was Lu Qingxi who gave him an idea and asked him to ask Li Qingzhi to see a doctor and take care of his body.

In this way, he can naturally come to see Li Qingzhi every day.

He could even stay with Li Qingzhi for a while and chat with Li Qingzhi.

"What's the matter with Mr. Liu?" Li Qingzhi asked.

Qi Jun said: "Li Jieyuan should have seen it? I am not in good health. I heard that Li Jieyuan has superb medical skills. I want to ask Li Jieyuan to help me take a look."

"I see, Mr. Liu, please go in and sit down, and I will take your pulse." Li Qing insisted.

After entering the house, Li Qingzhi took Qi Jun's pulse and asked Qi Jun various questions.

He has never seriously studied medicine, and he can't tell anything wrong simply by checking his pulse. However, he has used his powers to check Qi Jun's body before, and he knows Qi Jun's physical condition very well.

Li Qing said: "Master Liu, you were poisoned in your early years. The poison was so overbearing that your internal organs were damaged..."

Li Qingzhi had read a lot of medical books, so he used the language at this time to explain Qi Jun's physical condition in detail.

As for Qi Jun... He has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor. In addition, he has listened to the imperial doctors talking about his physical condition many times over the years, so he has a good understanding of his condition.

Seeing that Li Qingzhi explained his condition so clearly, he had more trust in Li Qingzhi's medical skills.

No wonder Li Qingzhi was able to cure Qi'an!

By the way, Daozhang Lu said that he became healthier after meeting Li Qingzhi. Is it because Li Qingzhi knew medical skills?

Qi Jun immediately said that he would come to see the doctor every day from now on.

"That's great, Mr. Liu. You are suffering from serious health problems and it will not be easy to cure. I plan to let you take a medicinal bath. This medicinal bath is the best for me. I can also adjust the medicinal materials at any time. Dosage." When Li Qingzhi treated Qi'an, he chose acupuncture.

But Qi Jun, this method obviously cannot be used.

He doesn't know much about acupuncture, so he can't just do it randomly.

Li Qingzhi quickly figured out a new treatment method - medicinal bath.

He didn't dare to prescribe medicine indiscriminately, fearing that Qi Jun's health would not only not improve but become worse after taking it, but it didn't matter if he took a medicinal bath.

Just add some medicinal materials and let Qi Jun soak.

Moreover, taking a hot bath is inherently beneficial to Qi Jun!

This was in ancient times, and sanitary conditions were far from as good as modern times. After a patient got sick, his immunity declined, and he would easily get sick if he took a bath again.

Therefore, doctors these days will tell their patients to take less baths.

Even if Qi Jun is the emperor, this is no exception.

Qi Jun is the emperor, and someone wipes his body every day. It's definitely not dirty, but it's not clean either!

In short, it is good to let him take a hot bath every day. After the bath, he will definitely feel energetic. Before taking a bath, you can also let him walk around in the yard as exercise.

Qi Jun has been in bed all day to recuperate over the past few years, and the muscles in his body are almost atrophied.

After Li Qingzhi formulated Qi Jun's treatment plan, he told Qi Jun and said, "Master Liu, after I rented this house, I renovated a bathroom next to the kitchen. You can go there every day." You will definitely not get cold while taking a medicinal bath."

If he burns more firewood, it will make Qi Jun very hot!

"What about the medicine?" Qi Jun asked.

"Master Liu, the medicine you are taking now can warm and replenish your body. You can just continue taking it. There is no need to change it." Li Qing insisted.

The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to Qi Jun is to warm and nourish the body and can be taken all the time.

Not long after the two chatted, Zhang came early and asked them to have breakfast.

Qi Jun still hadn't had breakfast before arriving, so Li Qingzhi asked Zhang Zao to serve him a bowl of seafood noodles.

As for the guards around Qi Jun... When Zhang Zao asked them if they wanted to eat, they said they had already eaten, and Zhang Zao said nothing more.

Qi Jun has a small appetite, so after giving him a small bowl of the seafood noodles they made, it was enough for the others.

only…

Qi Jun had breakfast with Li Qingzhi and Li Laogen. When he saw Li Laogen eating noodles, he made a very loud noise and started to complain. It was really unbearable.

Forget it, Li Laogen has been showing off to him that he has a good son: "Master Liu, is the seafood noodles delicious? Is my cook good? Let me tell you, the food cooked by Ah Qing is better than My chef's cooking is even more delicious. He used to cook for me all the time..."

Qi Jun: "..." This Li Laogen is really unpleasant to look at!

After breakfast, Li Qingzhi asked Qi Jun to take a bath first.

Qi Jun hasn't taken a bath for several days. Before taking a medicated bath, he can wash it carefully twice with soap.

Qi Jun agreed.

He also wanted to take a hot bath, but unfortunately when he was in the palace, a group of people watched him and refused to let him take it!

Li Qingzhi asked Zhang Zao and the others to heat the kang and boil water, and prepared soap and clothes for Qi Jun.

It takes a lot of time to boil water and take a bath. By the time Qi Jun finishes washing, the energy in his body has also recovered, which is just enough to help Qi Jun heal.

In this way, Qi Jun will never get sick.

When Qi Jun took a bath, the guards around him took care of him.

Qi Jun was in good health today, and the bathroom was very warm... After he started taking a bath, he felt comfortable all over.

During the bath, he used soap.

He had only washed his hands and feet with soap before, but this was the first time he took a bath with soap.

And this wash...

Qi Jun rubbed a lot of dirt off his soaped skin.

He didn't expect that he was so dirty!

He really should take a bath in advance. If he doesn't take a bath and takes a medicinal bath tomorrow, what will Li Qingzhi think of him?

Qi Jun soaped himself three times, and with the help of the guards, scrubbed his body three times.

After washing... he felt that his whole body was lighter and whiter, and he still smelled of soap.

Before, he always had the peculiar stench of an old man, but now, this smell has disappeared.

He felt much younger.

After putting on the clean inner clothes that Li Qingzhi sent, and then putting on his own clothes outside, Qi Jun left the room.

While Qi Jun was taking a bath, Li Qingzhi kept paying attention to the situation in the bathroom.

Qi Jun's body is too weak. There is too much water vapor in the bathroom and it is too hot. He might faint!

For this reason, Li Qingzhi specially asked the two guards to ventilate the bathroom from time to time after adding enough hot water to Qi Jun.

Seeing Qi Jun going out now, he promptly brought a bowl of ginger soup: "Master Liu, drink a bowl of ginger soup to keep out the cold, and then I will take your pulse."

Taking advantage of taking advantage of his pulse to treat Qi Jun, Li Qingzhi asked Qi Jun to have lunch with him.

Today at noon, the kitchen prepared four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. The soup was stewed with scallops and dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms. It tasted particularly delicious.

Even when eating, Li Laogen kept using chopsticks to fish scallops in the soup... Qi Jun didn't touch the bowl of soup, and even Li Qingzhi didn't want to drink it.

In addition... Li Laogen also used chopsticks to turn over the vegetables and kept picking out good dishes to eat...

Li Qingzhi: "..." He should learn from Jin Xiaoye and give Li Laogen some food in advance!

Without knowing Qi Jun's true identity, Li Laogen was a little too casual when facing Qi Jun.

After dinner, Qi Jun returned to the palace.

Lu Qingxi had been waiting for Qi Jun. When he saw Qi Jun come back, he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, has Li Jieyuan promised to help you treat your illness?"

"He agreed and said he would prepare a medicated bath for me tomorrow." Qi Jun was very happy.

"Medicated bath? Taking a bath in winter can easily cause colds. Your Majesty..."

"It's okay, I just took a shower today and I feel very comfortable." Qi Jun said with a smile.

Lu Qingxi was anxious: "Your Majesty, you don't pay much attention to your health!" After he finished speaking, he immediately sent for the imperial doctor.

Qi Jun felt that he was in good condition and did not need the imperial doctor, but he also knew that Lu Qingxi did this out of concern for him, so he obediently let the imperial doctor take his pulse.

Li Qingzhi treated Qi Jun for two days, which at most made him feel better, but did not improve his physical condition much, so the imperial doctor did not see anything wrong.

However, the imperial doctor is certain that the emperor is in good condition at the moment.

After hearing what the imperial doctor said, Lu Qingxi finally felt relieved.

"Ah Qing's medical skills are very good. If he says it's okay, then he must be okay," Qi Jun said to Lu Qingxi, and added, "Ah Xi, I think he is my son, there is nothing wrong with him!"

Lu Qingxi: "..." He just stood up and was thinking about how to trick the emperor into recognizing his son, but the emperor did it himself?

No matter what, it was a good thing. Lu Qingxi gave the emperor the books and articles written by Li Qing that he had collected before.

Published in Jiang'an Province, Li Qingzhi wrote a book about Governor Zhang, and several issues of "Collected Works of Anjiang". Li Qingzhi wrote manuscripts on weekdays to use literature to meet friends...

There are all kinds of them, which add up to a thick stack.

Qi Jun saw Li Qingzhi's manuscript first.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his eyes were getting better... Qi Jun looked at the manuscripts seriously and couldn't help but praise: "Good calligraphy! Good article!"

Li Qingzhi's calligraphy is so good! No

As expected of his son, his handwriting is so good!

He has been doing good things over the years, and there is nothing wrong with it. God gave him a good son!

Qi Jun admired Li Qing's articles for a long time and asked people to read Li Qing's stories to him.

He knew very early on that someone in Jiang'an Province had written books and plays to praise Zhang Zhiru.

He thought it was funny at the time and thought Zhang Zhiru liked to be praised.

Now that he knows these were written by Li Qing... his thoughts are different.

Zhang Zhiru is definitely a good official, that's why Li Qingzhi wrote a book praising him like this.

Qi Jun listened to someone reading before, and the book he listened to was "Qingdu Sanren".

Those books are indeed well written and thought-provoking, but after listening to them, I can't help but feel depressed.

Li Qingzhi's book is different!

Qi Jun listened to the story of "real and fake prefect", and the more he listened, the more interesting he became. He couldn't even hold back his laughter: "I didn't expect Zhang Zhiru to have encountered such a thing!"

"This is so interesting!"

"This is a very well written book!"

…

After listening to the whole story, Qi Jun even said: "Ah Qing is so amazing, he can write the story so well."

Lu Qingxi quickly answered: "Li Jieyuan is indeed extraordinary!"

Qi Jun added: "It's only been a few years since he officially started studying. In just a few years, he not only read books so well, but also wrote so many articles and stories... It's really amazing." Lu Qingxi smiled and said: "Li Jieyuan Very human!"

Qi Jun kept praising Li Qingzhi, and in the end, Lu Qingxi didn't know how to answer the question.

He now feels that the progress is a bit too fast and a bit too smooth!

That night, Qi Jun slept in the underwear Li Qingzhi prepared for him, and asked Concubine Liu to smell his body to see if it was particularly fragrant.

Concubine Liu Guifei, who already knew what Qi Jun had done today, was speechless.

There is obviously no evidence that Li Qingzhi is the emperor's son, but the emperor is already a little too happy.

The next day, the emperor went to see Li Qingzhi early in the morning as usual.

He had breakfast at Li Qingzhi's side, and then walked in the yard as Li Qingzhi asked.

As for Li Qingzhi... he went to help the emperor prepare a medicinal bath.

Li Qingzhi went out to buy some medicinal materials yesterday and even bought a pot.

Early this morning, he put the medicinal materials wrapped in gauze into the pot, then added water, and asked Zhang Zao to start the fire. After boiling, he poured the water into the bathtub, then added water to the pot and continued to boil... …

While they were boiling water, Qi Jun was running around in the yard, while Zhao Xiaodou and Li Damao and Li Ermao were playing in the yard.

The three children played shuttlecock. After playing for a while, they picked up books to read.

Qi Jun took a look and found that the oldest one was reading the storybook written by Li Qingzhi for children, while Li Qingzhi's twin sons were reading "Journey to the West".

Qi Jun has read this book and quite liked it. He even read it several times.

But he remembered that the book was not very easy to understand.

At least children the age of Li Da Mao and Li Er Mao should not be able to understand it.

How many words should a child of seven or eight years old not know?

Seeing that they were reading seriously together, Qi Jun couldn't help but ask: "Da Mao Er Mao, can you understand this book?"

These two children may not be able to understand the storybook Zhao Xiaodou reads, right?

If nothing else, the story of "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" is quite long.

Li Ermao said: "I can understand it!"

"Are you so powerful?"

"We are just as good as our dad!" Li Ermao looked proud.

Qi Jun's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Can you read a paragraph to grandpa?"

Li Ermao said: "Not only can I read it, but I can also recite it!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at the passage he had just read and started to recite it. While reciting it, he danced and imitated the fighting scenes in the book.

Li Qingzhi has been developing the brains of Li Damao and Li Ermao.

The memory of these two children is not as good as his. They cannot write down everything they have read. Even the books they have read will be forgotten after a while.

But they can memorize the books they just read or read smoothly!

Qi Jun heard Li Ermao's endorsement, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became.

This seven or eight-year-old child can actually recite "Journey to the West"!

Most children this age can't understand "Journey to the West" at all, but he can actually recite it!

This kid, like Li Qingzhi, is extremely smart and has a photographic memory!

"You know how to carry it, where is your brother?" Qi Jun looked at Li Damao.

Li Ermao said: "My brother is more powerful than me!"

He doesn't like reading. In fact, some of the descriptions in "Journey to the West" are hard to understand.

But his brother understands everything!

Qi Jun only felt that his heartbeat was speeding up.

Not only is his son great, but so is his grandson!

The King of Jin, Prince Yan, is not even comparable to his grandson, let alone his son!

Although there is no evidence, Qi Jun has already determined in his heart that Li Qingzhi is his son.

"Master Liu, the medicinal bath is ready. Come and take a bath." Li Qingzhi asked Qi Jun to take a bath.

Qi Jun responded with a smile and immediately entered the bathroom.

Li Qing said: "Mr. Liu, please take off your clothes and go soak. I will come over later and help you press the acupuncture points."

Qi Jun agreed immediately.

He got into the tub with the help of the guards, and then Li Qingzhi came in.

"How's the water temperature?" Li Qingzhi asked when he came in.

"Very good." Qi Jun said.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, but he had been taking medicine all year round and was quite used to the smell.

He felt very comfortable soaking in the hot water. The fatigue caused by walking in the yard just now seemed to have completely dissipated.

"I'll massage your acupuncture points." Li Qingzhi said, then came to the tub and helped Qi Jun massage his shoulders.

When he pressed, he brought a little energy from his body to help Qi Jun relax his muscles, making Qi Jun feel more comfortable.

Pressing and pressing... Li Qingzhi took it for granted and saw the mole on Qi Jun's back. He smiled and said, "Master Liu, I didn't expect you also have a mole on your back." "What?" Qi Jun asked subconsciously. .

Li Qing insisted: "Mr. Liu, it's like this. There is a mole on my back, and its location is similar to the mole on your back."

Chapter 227 Find out

Li Qingzhi actually has a mole on his body, and it's in the same position as the mole on his back?

What a coincidence!

Qi Jun couldn't help but want to say something, asking Li Qingzhi to take off his clothes and show him the mole on his back!

But it was really inappropriate to tell a young man he didn't know very well that he wanted to see the mole on his back, so Qi Jun still held back.

Although he resisted looking, Qi Jun's thoughts were running wild.

Li Qingzhi has a mole on his back like him. Does this mean that Li Qingzhi is his son?

Li Qingzhi must be his son!

This thought flashed through Qi Jun's mind, and Li Qingzhi told him: "Master Liu, turn over and I will press your neck."

Qi Jun's body is really full of diseases, and his cervical spine is very bad. He should feel better if he presses it.

He doesn't dare to prescribe medicine, but there is no problem with massage. He knows the human body very well and knows how to massage it well.

It's not good to take a bath for too long. After soaking for about an hour, Li Qingzhi asked Qi Jun to get up, and asked Qi Jun's guards to give Qi Jun some soap and rinse Qi Jun with clean water.

Before, Qi Jun had a not-so-pleasant smell because he had been taking medicine all year round and was in poor health. Now the smell has finally disappeared, leaving only a faint medicinal fragrance.

Li Qingzhi felt that the smell was much better than before, so he asked Qi Jun to wash his face, and then asked Qi Jun to lie on a special chair, intending to wash Qi Jun's hair and massage his head.

Li Qingzhi always asked the guards to help Qi Jun take a medicinal bath, but this time he did it himself.

He and Qi Jun were not related to each other on the surface. It was not normal for him to give Qi Jun a bath, but it didn't matter if he washed his hair.

The main thing is...since he decided to pretend to be someone else's son, he must cultivate a good relationship with them and take good care of them.

Li Qing said: "Mr. Liu, a head massage will make you feel more comfortable. When you get home, you can also ask your family to massage your head."

"Li Jieyuan, thank you very much," Qi Jun said, "Li Jieyuan, it's really troublesome for you to ask you to wash my hair... You are a civil servant, I am just a businessman."

On the surface, he is just a businessman, but Li Qingzhi is a Juren and a Jieyuan. Li Qingzhi takes good care of him.

"It's nothing. I just want to thank Mr. Liu for the book you gave me," Li Qingzhi said with a smile, "And I don't know why, but I feel friendly when I see you." Yes! That's it! It turns out that Li Qingzhi also feels this way! Qi Jun suddenly realized.

No wonder Li Qingzhi was willing to help him wash his hair because he thought he was kind!

This must be the feeling between father and son!

After Li Qingzhi washed Qi Jun's hair and massaged his head, he asked the guards to dry Qi Jun's hair, and then asked Qi Jun to rest in the house where Concubine Liu Guifei lived before.

It's already very warm there, and the room is still very dry. Qi Jun doesn't have much hair, so it shouldn't take long for it to dry. By then, he can have lunch and return to the palace.

Qi Jun was immersed in the joy of his son washing his hair. After entering the house, he wiped his hair with a cloth with a smile on his face.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhi said: "Master Liu, I'm going to see my children and check their homework."

Jin Xiaoye is away, and Mrs. Qian is about to become short of energy again. Although the children can play by themselves, Li Qingzhi still spends some time with them every day and teaches them some knowledge.

"This room is quite big. You can invite your children to come over and study. I like to be lively." Qi Jun said.

Li Qingzhi also saw that Qi Jun liked children very much. After thinking about it, he called Li Damao, Li Ermao, and Zhao Xiaodou Zhang Zao.

Zhang Zao was his student, and he always assigned homework to Zhang Zao so that he could take the time to study.

Qi Jun was stunned when he saw this situation.

He had always regarded Zhao Xiaodou and Zhang Zao as his servants, but he didn't expect Li Qingzhi to teach these two!

And when Li Qingzhi started to explain the homework to a few people, he saw a picture that he could not imagine.

Li Damao completed all the tasks assigned by Li Qingzhi. Li Qingzhi picked up Li Damao and praised him: "Da Mao, you are awesome. You learn very well every time!"

Li Damao glanced at Qi Jun with some embarrassment. He was not young, so why did his father still hug him? Or in front of outsiders!

But his dad likes to hug people, so let's hug him, he doesn't mind!

Li Qing praised Li Damao before putting him down. Then he saw Li Ermao's homework that he didn't pay much attention to - the words on it looked like dog crawling!

Li Qingzhi was helpless: "Er Mao, you don't do your homework well!"

"Dad!" Li Ermao leaned over and kissed Li Qingzhi, who was sitting on a low stool talking to them, on the face: "I don't like copying books."

"If you don't like copying, you still need to practice your handwriting well," Li Qingzhi pinched his little face, "If you write like this next time, I'll let your mother watch you write."

Li Ermao said quickly: "No, no, I will write it well next time."

His mother is serious, if he doesn't write well, she will ask him to rewrite it!

Li Qingzhi touched Li Ermao's head and asked him to play with Li Damao.

The next step was Zhao Xiaodou's homework. Li Qingzhi praised him a lot and said that Zhao Xiaodou was serious about studying.

Zhao Xiaodou's reading progress is not as good as Li Damao and Li Ermao, but it is still

He has already started reading "The University" and he even brought the book with him.

Li Qingzhi did not read the book. He took out a piece of paper and wrote an article from "The University" on the spot, explained it to him carefully, read it twice and asked him to follow him, and then said: "Read this paragraph a few more times. If you don't know how to read it, you can ask Da Mao. Once you are familiar with it, you can copy it five times."

Zhao Xiaodou obediently agreed.

Finally, there is Zhang Zao. The books Zhang Zao read are different from Li Damao and others. He studied the textbooks compiled by Li Qing for Chongcheng Primary School.

Li Qingzhi took him to read the text, explained to him the new words in it, and told him what words these new words could form and where they could be used...

Li Qingzhi also wrote some sentences for Zhang Zao to read on the spot, while Zhao Xiaodou was beside him and copied them down - he was happy to learn more.

After Li Qing finished teaching an article, he told Zhang Zao as before: "If you don't understand something, you can ask Damao." Li Damao likes to read, and he has read the textbooks of Chongcheng Primary School several times. Those who didn't understand asked him, and it was more than enough to teach Zhang Zao.

"I understand, sir!" Zhang Zao responded with a smile.

After all this hard work, it's noon and it's time to eat!

Qi Jun followed Li Qingzhi with complicated emotions.

Li Qingzhi has been teaching his children to read, so he didn't want to disturb him, so he didn't say much before.

But Li Qingzhi's behavior surprised him.

Li Qingzhi is very close to his two children. This is a way he has never seen a father and son get along with each other.

In addition... Li Qingzhi actually taught two young boys how to read and asked his son to teach them.

This young man is really different from ordinary people.

So, Li Qingzhi washed his hair not just because he felt friendly to him? Has Li Qingzhi washed anyone else's clothes?

Qi Jun suddenly felt a little sour.

Today's lunch consisted of stewed fish with fungus, stewed dried cowpeas, cold bean sprouts, and stewed chicken with cabbage and mushrooms.

Three of the dishes were hot and everyone enjoyed themselves.

When Qi Jun was in the palace, everything he ate was tasteless, but now at Li Qingzhi's place, he felt that these four dishes were very delicious!

There was only one chicken in the stewed chicken with cabbage and mushrooms. It was cut into pieces. Because there were more people, more soup was added. It was already a clear soup and not greasy.

Qi Jun imitated Li Qing and used the soup to make rice, and actually ate a full bowl of rice.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that Li Laogen was there. Li Qingzhi served Li Laogen some soup and scooped the chicken into Li Laogen's bowl...

Why didn't Li Qingzhi ladle soup for him?

Li Qingzhi didn't know what Qi Jun was thinking. He did this just to prevent Li Laogen from looking too ugly.

He actually told Li Laogen not to use chopsticks to turn over the dishes on the table while eating.

But Li Laogen refused to change despite repeated admonitions, so he stopped talking.

It is really difficult for people to change their decades-old habits.

He could only give Li Laogen some more food to prevent him from digging around.

In fact, they usually divide the dishes directly when they are at home.

Qi Jun finished his meal and sat for a while before reluctantly returning to the palace.

He used to worry about things in the court all day long, and no matter how tired he was, he would talk to Lu Qingxi about the memorials, but now his mind is entirely on Li Qingzhi, and he has no time to think about the court.

So, when Lu Qingxi came to Qi Jun with some discounts, Qi Jun didn't tell him about the discounts. Instead, he pulled him and told him a lot about Li Qingzhi.

But Qi Jun didn't say anything about the mole, mainly because he hadn't seen it and wasn't sure.

What if he swore that Li Qingzhi had a mole on his back that was the same as his, but found out in the end that there wasn't one?

After Qi Jun finished speaking, Lu Qingxi hurriedly talked about the information handed over by the officials today.

Qi Jun said: "Axi, please handle these matters."

Lu Qingxi has always handled government affairs very well, and he is relieved.

Lu Qingxi: "..." He used to feel a little annoyed that he had to report everything to Qi Jun, but now that Qi Jun won't let him report it, he is a little unhappy.

He is very busy these days, where is Qi Jun? He took a bath after leaving the palace and had his hair washed!

Next, Qi Jun should lie down and listen comfortably to someone reading the book written by Li Qing!

The emperor is living a very comfortable life, completely different from him!

After leaving Qi Jun's place, Lu Qingxi felt a little suspicious when she thought that Li Qingzhi actually washed Qi Jun's hair. Did Li Qingzhi know Qi Jun's identity?

Otherwise, why are you so enthusiastic?

Just as he thought this, one of his men came back from Chongcheng County.

Previously he sent some people to Chongcheng County to investigate Li Qingzhi.

Because he was eager to get Li Qingzhi's investigation information, several people returned to the capital in advance, but some people were left to continue the investigation in Chongcheng County.

Now, those who stayed in Chongcheng County are back!

Judging from the information found by these people... Li Qingzhi was most likely captured by King Jin's people to dig stones back then. The Juewizhai he opened in Chongcheng County hired many people from King Jin's foragers. Laborers rescued from the quarry!

In addition, when he was in Miaoqian Village, Li Qingzhi spent a period of time cooking and taking care of his children at home every day.

Later, he also cooked for the female workers of Jinye Embroidery Workshop!

He is a very down-to-earth person with no airs. I heard that he likes to sit in the village and chat with the village elders and aunts.

Forget it, in his early years, in order to make money, he even wrote an autobiography for two businessmen in Chongcheng County!

He even took the leftovers from the merchant's home to eat!

Li Qingzhi is so easy-going... The emperor has given so many things to people, and even given them orphaned books, so it's normal for him to help wash their hair.

Lu Qingxi was relieved - he was overthinking.

Not to mention, according to Li Qingzhi, he felt friendly when he met the emperor.

Thinking about it carefully, when Concubine Liu carried Qi An out of the palace, it was Li Qingzhi who went to greet Concubine Liu first.

Li Qingzhi had never met Liu Guifei before, but he took the initiative to say hello to Liu Guifei... Did he also feel that Liu Guifei was very kind?

Of course, he might just want to help.

Back then, Li Qingzhi had his arm broken while trying to save a boy from another family.

Li Qingzhi's life is really exciting.

After Lu Qingxi read it carefully, he put the information away.

He planned to wait for more than ten days before showing these things to Qi Jun.

It had only been a few days since Qi Jun asked him to investigate Li Qingzhi. If he showed these to Qi Jun now, wouldn't he be telling Qi Jun that he had already gone to investigate Li Qingzhi? This is definitely not possible!

Speaking of which... when Zhang Zhiru went to investigate King Jin's quarry, maybe it was related to Li Qingzhi?

Zhang Zhiru went to Chongcheng County and then began to investigate the quarry in Linhu County. During this period, he also asked Gou Tongzhi, who was the magistrate of Chongcheng County at the time, to go to Linhu County to investigate the case...

The key is that Zhang Zhiru admires Li Qingzhi.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Zhiru, it is impossible for him to value Li Qingzhi just because Li Qingzhi wrote a book for him. There must be other reasons.

For example, Li Qingzhi provided him with information about the quarry.

Lu Qingxi thought of this and became even more satisfied with Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi has a grudge against the King of Jin, how wonderful!

Li Qingzhi is still from Yuxi Mansion... When he tells Li Qingzhi about the fact that Prince Jin and Prince Yan swallowed up the disaster relief money, Li Qingzhi will definitely stand by them!

By the way, shopkeeper Mu under him also bought a lot of goods from Li Qingzhi's wife.

He wanted Shopkeeper Mu to give some benefits to Li Qingzhi's wife, so that Li Qingzhi would have a better impression of him.

Lu Qingxi originally wanted to oust the fake prince he had found and then monopolize power.

But thinking of what Lu Mingshan said, thinking of Qi Jun's attitude... he inexplicably began to regard Li Qingzhi as a prince.

His thoughts changed quite quickly.

Lu Qingxi struggled for a while and ignored the matter.

How should I put it... If Li Qingzhi really wants to be lucky, it will definitely not be beneficial for him to be against Li Qingzhi. In this case, it is better to treat him as a true prince.

Lu Qingxi sent people to investigate Li Qing, but others would not do this.

Chongcheng County is too far away, and they won't spend so much effort on a single person.

Therefore, Prince Yan did not know much about Li Qingzhi, and the same was true for Prince Jin.

The news that King Jin knew was sent by King Yan.

"The person Zhang Zhiru values ? I sent people to find Zhang Zhiru before but failed, why not teach this person a lesson!" King Jin thought that the people he sent to deal with Zhang Zhiru because King Yan intervened in it, and finally went to assassinate Gou Tongzhi. After catching it, one of them escaped, feeling very depressed.

Since this Li Qingzhi belongs to Zhang Zhiru, he might as well find a way to teach him a lesson.

After hearing what King Jin said, everyone quickly went to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, this may be another trick of Prince Yan, just to make you deal with the people who came to the capital to take the examination, so that you can offend all the scholars in the world!"

"My lord, you must not fall into the trap of Prince Yan!"

"This Li Qingzhi is Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province. He is well-known in Jiang'an Province. There are so many officials from Jiang'an Province in the capital... If you attack him, everyone will be dissatisfied!"

"This is not good for us."

…

Li Qingzhi is a scholar who has not yet entered the court. Is it beneficial for King Jin to deal with him? No, not at all!

On the contrary, there are a lot of disadvantages. If a prince takes action against a person who came to the capital to take part in the examination, what will others think? Among those who have just entered the officialdom, who would be willing to join the King of Jin?

The counselors under King Jin tried hard to stop King Jin from messing around.

King Jin had no choice but to give up in the end, but he remembered Li Qingzhi.

In the palace, Qi Jun was listening to others reading to him.

He had already listened to the stories about Zhang Zhiru written by Li Qingzhi, and what those people were reading to him now was the book written by Li Qingzhi to Gou Tongzhi.

Qi Jun knew Gou Tongzhi.

This man was a fellow Jinshi. He was originally an ordinary person, but because of some connections with the Yue family, he was able to become the magistrate of Chongcheng County.

Later, many things happened in Hexing Mansion, and Zhang Zhiru was promoted to governor... At that time, Zhang Zhiru strongly recommended him and wanted him to be the governor of Hexing Mansion.

At that time, many people were eyeing the position of magistrate of Hexing Prefecture. In addition, he knew that Zhang Zhiru was not actually Lu Qingxi's person, so he simply promoted Magistrate Gou to the post of magistrate of Hexing Prefecture and asked him to manage Hexing Prefecture as a Tongzhi.

It turns out that Gou Tongzhi is so good at solving cases!

Li Qingzhi wrote several books to him. He had chatted with Li Qingzhi about the past, and Li Qingzhi was also very close to this Gou Tongzhi in words.

This year, Gou Tongzhi achieved a lot, but was mistakenly thought to be Lu Qingxi's man and was assassinated...

Qi Jun had a good impression of Gou Tongzhi, so he immediately asked someone to draft an order and decided to promote Gou Tongzhi and make him the prefect.

There is a set process for official promotion, but as the emperor, he can promote officials in an exceptional manner.

In the past, there was an emperor who had a very happy conversation with a county magistrate. He felt that the magistrate was very talented and directly appointed him as a governor!

After writing the imperial edict, Qi Jun thought about it and wrote another letter to Gou Tongzhi, saying that he only knew Li Qingzhi's talents after reading his book and believed that he would become a good official.

Gou Tongzhi was promoted because of Li Qingzhi, and Gou Tongzhi must know this!

After writing the letter to Gou Tongzhi, Qi Jun thought about it and wrote another letter to Governor Zhang, talking about the "real and fake governor".

After listening to the book written by Li Qing, he especially wanted to talk to the person involved

talk!

After Qi Jun finished writing the letter, he told Lu Qingxi and asked Lu Qingxi to find someone to go to Jiang'an Province to issue the decree and deliver the letter.

Lu Qingxi: "..." The emperor has changed! He would never have promoted someone so casually before!

Qi Jun always had low energy before, but now it is very different.

After dinner that day, he actually went to chat with Lu Mingshan again, talking about his son: "My son must be very smart and outstanding in appearance..."

Lu Mingshan broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and felt that he was really powerful.

He had deceived the emperor!

He said a few words casually, and the emperor believed him!

Next, it's time for the fake prince to appear, right? I don't know who the fake prince Lu Qingxi chose is, and what Li Qingzhi and Li Zhu want to do.

Forget it, he doesn't care about anything, just be an expert.

Before dawn the next day, Qi Jun quietly left the palace and went straight to Qingshi Lane.

Unfortunately, it was not Li Qingzhi who opened the door for him this time, but Zhang Zao, but it didn't matter, he saw Li Qingzhi soon.

This meeting... still feels familiar and cordial!

Qi Jun is falling in love with Li Qingzhi more and more!

Li Qingzhi said to Qi Jun: "Master Liu, the children want to go out for breakfast today. Do you want to go?"

Qi Jun thought for a while and agreed.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Qingzhi found a hat for him to put on and a scarf to wrap around him.

There are officials living here in Qingshi Lane. If Qi Jun is not in the way, he will be easily recognized, which would not be good. But if he wears a hat and a scarf, no one will be able to recognize him.

When the emperor went to court, not many people dared to look directly at Long Yan, and Qi Jun was sick all year round and rarely went to court.

Those officials had basically never seen Qi Jun walking.

And he took Qi Jun out because he wanted Qi Jun to move around more and meet the people and customs of the capital.

Li Qingzhi went out with his three children, Zhang Zao, Qi Jun, and Qi Jun's two bodyguards.

As for the others, someone will buy breakfast for them.

As soon as the group went out, they met the neighbors in Qingshi Lane. Everyone greeted Li Qingzhi: "Li Jieyuan, you haven't been out much in the past two days!"

"Li Jieyuan, where are you going?"

"Li Jieyuan, have you heard about Daozhang Lu? Some people say that the emperor invited him into the palace!"

"Li Jieyuan, the braised sauce served by your wife at Juewei Zhai is truly outstanding!"

…

These people smiled and talked to Li Qingzhi, and Li Qingzhi also smiled back.

When he met children on the road, he even took out dates and gave them to them.

It can be seen that everyone in Qingshi Lane likes Li Qingzhi.

Qi Jun was inexplicably proud - his son was just different!

While walking, they also met Master Ping.

As expected, Lord Ping did not recognize Qi Jun and spoke to Li Qingzhi with a smile: "Zixiao, have you bought any new year's goods?"

"Not yet." Li Qing insisted.

Master Ping said: "You can start shopping now. Let me tell you, when you buy New Year's goods, remember to go to the grocery store in the west. Don't go to the one in the east. The one in the east likes to sell inferior goods..."

After the two of them exchanged a few words, Master Ping went to the Hanlin Academy to attend his duties.

The group finally stopped in front of a shop selling mutton pancakes.

This shop is not big and the furnishings inside are old. Officials from the capital will basically not come here to eat, but their mutton patties taste really good!

After Li Qingzhi led the people in, he ordered ten mutton patties and some wonton and soy milk.

"Mr. Liu, the wontons here taste very good. You can try it. As for the mutton patties, I'll share some with you and you can try it too." Li Qingzhi broke off some of the mutton patties and gave it to Qi Jun, and gave a little more. Minced meat.

Qi Jun can't eat much, so a little like this is enough.

The mutton patties at this restaurant are quite big. Even Zhang Zao, a young boy, can eat a bowl of wontons and a mutton patty.

Zhao Xiaodou, Li Damao and the others could only eat half a mutton cake and drink some soy milk.

Of course he is an exception, he can eat several!

The warm wontons and soy milk were paired with freshly baked pies stuffed with green onion and mutton. Li Qingzhi ate one after another.

Qi Jun couldn't help but sigh - his son has such a good appetite!

How wonderful! He likes children who can eat!

The mutton patties here are also delicious. This is the first time for him to eat such delicious mutton patties!

For many years before, Qi Jun's life was lackluster.

He lived the same life day after day, and often when a year passed, when he looked back, he could only remember what happened in Daqi this year, but he could not remember what he had done.

He lay down every day and couldn't do anything.

He even felt that time passed very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, several years passed by.

But these days...every day he feels fresh and happy!

This mutton pie shop was very shabby, but he liked it inexplicably.

After returning home, the water for the medicinal bath was ready. Qi Jun smelled of mutton and had sweated a lot from walking a lot, so he took a comfortable bath.

He didn't wash his hair today. After washing, he sat on the kang and watched Li Qingzhi teach the children.

Such a life was so comfortable that he wished he could continue to live it!

With this in mind, after Li Qingzhi gave Li Damao and Li Ermao instructions on their homework, Qi Jun asked them, "Do you want to play chess with grandpa?" He had seen these two children playing chess.

"Okay! Grandpa, can you play backgammon?" Li Damao asked.

Qi Jun had never heard of backgammon, but after listening to Li Damao's talk, he knew how to play backgammon and started playing it with Li Damao.

But...after a while, he lost.

Qi Jun didn't believe in evil, so he continued to play, and then lost again...

He suffered repeated defeats, playing against Li Damao and Li Ermao, losing ten games in one go.

After realizing that he could not play two children, Qi Jun coughed lightly: "Da Mao Er Mao, can you play Go?"

Li Damao and Li Ermao shook their heads.

Li Qingzhi was not very good at Go originally, and his two children were young, so he did not teach them how to play Go.

Later, Li Qingzhi got to know more people outside and started to play Go, but he was not in a hurry to teach his children.

Therefore, Li Damao and Li Ermao cannot play Go.

Qi Jun was very happy when he heard this: "Can grandpa teach you how to play Go? Everyone outside plays Go."

"Okay!" Li Damao and Li Ermao were very happy.

Seeing this, Qi Jun started teaching slowly, teaching and learning at the same time.

Li Damao and Li Ermao finally lost to him!

Qi Jun was in a good mood, and his mood became even better when he saw the two children getting close to him!

A child who can call him grandpa is really so adorable!

However, Qi Jun was happy a little too early.

Within a few days, Li Damao and Li Ermao were able to play Go proficiently. Forget it, the two of them worked together to beat him!

Qi Jun is actually not very good at Go. He is not in good health and has many things to do, so he has no time to play chess with others to practice his skills.

But losing to a child who had just learned for a few days still made him a little depressed.

What made him even more depressed was that after he lost a few times, he started losing again and again!

Qi Jun: "..." This move cannot be played!

However, Li Da Mao and Li Er Mao were still very interested and very happy to play with him... Qi Jun could only say: "Da Mao Er Mao, you can play by yourselves. Grandpa is watching you play chess."

That's okay... Li Damao and Li Ermao started fighting.

Li Damao acted step by step but was a little too cautious, while Li Ermao was full of aggression... The two of them were inseparable.

But in the end, Li Damao won more.

On this day, Qi Jun, who was beaten by Li Damao and Li Ermao, suddenly realized that he was a bit stupid, returned to the palace, and Lu Qingxi came: "Your Majesty, I found out some news! The queen did give birth to a prince back then. !"

Qi Jun had long thought that Li Qingzhi was his son, but when he heard the news, he was still extremely surprised: "What happened back then? Tell me quickly! Also, is that child Li Qingzhi?"

Lu Qingxi: "..."

Chapter 228 Family happiness

Lu Qingxi told Qi Jun the story he had discussed with Concubine Liu.

That night, Concubine Liu actually gave birth to a son and a daughter.

The daughter was born first and was killed by someone arranged by the late emperor's concubine. Then everyone swarmed to catch the person who killed the little princess...

The delivery room was in chaos, and Concubine Liu fainted due to excitement.

And that son was born at this time.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has been investigating for a long time to find out this matter! The little prince was taken away as soon as he was born. At that time, a little palace maid next to the empress saw it, but did not have time to stop her. When she came to her senses, the child She has disappeared. She thought that the child had also been killed, and she was afraid that the empress would blame her if she told her, so she did not dare to say anything about it..." Lu Qingxi said, "As for who took the child away and where the child was, We haven't found out yet, after all, more than 20 years have passed."

"Where is the little palace lady?" the emperor asked.

Lu Qing said happily: "The old slave has captured the man."

Lu Qingxi brought over a woman in her forties or fifties. This person was indeed the person who served Liu Guifei back then.

After the death of her daughter, Concubine Liu would inevitably get angry at those around her.

She had been a palace maid herself and knew that it was not easy for these people, so she did not do anything excessive, but she transferred them away from her.

This woman originally served Concubine Liu Guifei, but after being transferred away, she went to help in the imperial kitchen. Later, when she got old, she left the palace to get married.

Her husband passed away early, and now she was raising several children by herself. Life was very difficult. Therefore, when Lu Qingxi approached her and gave her money to help with work, she agreed.

The woman followed Lu Qingxi's instructions and began to talk about what happened back then.

After Qi Jun asked a few questions, she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me! I can't remember many things clearly..."

Qi Jun was also helpless about this, but he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can you clearly see what the little prince looks like? Are there any marks on him?"

The woman said: "This... the little prince was just born at that time. He is thin and red. As for the mark... the little prince has a mole on his body!"

Qi Jun asked: "Where is it?"

"On the shoulder blade, right over here." The woman pointed to her left shoulder blade.

The emperor subconsciously reached out and tried to touch the left side of his back, but he only touched the thick clothes.

There is a mole on his left shoulder blade!

Does his child have a mole like his?

The most important thing is that Li Qingzhi said that he has a mole on his body!

Qi Jun asked Lu Qingxi to continue investigating the matter, but he was so excited that he wished he could leave the palace immediately.

Although there is no evidence, he feels that Li Qingzhi is his son.

The feeling between father and son cannot be faked!

The first time he saw Li Qingzhi, he felt that Li Qingzhi looked like him. After getting along with him during this time, he liked Li Qingzhi even more.

Not only Li Qingzhi, he also likes everyone in the Li family's yard! Well, except Li Laogen.

Qi Jun couldn't wait to recognize his relatives.

"Your Majesty, I haven't found out the whereabouts of the little prince yet, but I will continue to investigate..." Lu Qing said happily.

"That child should be Li Qingzhi! When I was taking a medicinal bath, he saw the mole on my back. At that time, he told me that there was also a mole in the same position on his body," Qi Jun said.

Lu Qingxi once again lamented how smooth things were.

He knew Qi Jun very well, and with Qi Jun's current attitude... Qi Jun already firmly believed that Li Qingzhi was his son!

Even he almost believed that Li Qingzhi was Qi Jun's son!

Lu Mingshan said at that time that the emperor's health would get better after finding his son. Now, the emperor's health is indeed better!

If the emperor's health improves, even if Li Qingzhi is a fake prince, he is willing to treat Li Qingzhi as the real prince!

But even though he thought so, Lu Qingxi still said: "Your Majesty, the matter has not been investigated yet..."

Qi Jun didn't listen to Lu Qingxi's words at all, but asked: "Axi, do you think there is any way to see Li Qingzhi's back?"

Lu Qing said happily: "Your Majesty, will you take Li Jieyuan to the hot springs?"

"Okay!" Qi Jun thought this was a good idea.

Lu Qingxi added: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, be careful. Think about the young master. He was a good child, but now his face is ruined and his eyes are blind..."

Qi Jun originally had a fire burning in his heart and couldn't wait to recognize Li Qingzhi, but when he heard Li Qingzhi say this, the fire in his heart was extinguished.

He should be careful and not rush to recognize his relatives.

Since he was in poor health, he did not go against King Jin and King Yan, so that these two people had considerable power.

If they discover Li Qingzhi's identity, they may be detrimental to Li Qingzhi!

Qi'an was burned, which already made him extremely uncomfortable. If Li Qingzhi encountered such a thing... No, absolutely not!

Qi Jun said: "We must be more careful. Everything is based on Li Qingzhi's safety."

For Li Qingzhi, even if he recognized his marriage, he couldn't rush to give Li Qingzhi an identity.

He had to wait until it was absolutely safe before revealing Li Qingzhi's identity.

His spirits have improved recently, and he can find time to take care of King Jin and King Yan!

He wanted to give his son a clean court.

Qi Jun suddenly had a lot of things he wanted to do, but before that, he planned to take a look at the mole on Li Qingzhi's back.

That night, Qi Jun found a bronze mirror and looked at his back carefully.

His mole is black, about the size of a soybean, and shaped like a soybean, slightly raised.

Although Qi Jun knew there was a mole on his back before, he never paid attention to it. Only this time did he take a closer look.

After watching for a long time, he put on his clothes and went to bed.

He had a good relationship with Concubine Liu, but because of his poor health, they slept separately most of the time.

Concubine Liu has to take care of Qi'an recently and spends less time with him.

And he was not in a hurry to tell Concubine Liu about Li Qingzhi, and planned to take a look.

The next day, Qi Jun got up earlier than the previous few days. When he arrived at the door of Li's house, it was not completely bright yet.

But the door of Li's house was already open and ajar.

Because he comes here every day, now Zhang Zao will open the door first after they get up.

Qi Jun pushed the door open and saw the familiar courtyard.

Li Qingzhi would read with several children before breakfast every day, but now that the children had not gotten up, he went to the kitchen to watch Zhang Zao and the others cooking.

Hearing the noise, Li Qingzhi came out of the kitchen and saw Qi Jun: "Good morning, Mr. Liu."

"Good morning." Qi Jun smiled when he saw Li Qingzhi.

"Master Liu, it's cold outside, would you like to come to the kitchen to warm yourself up?" Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

Li Qingzhi knew that Qi Jun was the emperor, and when he first got along with Qi Jun, he was very cautious.

But after two days together, he calmed down.

Qi Jun is indeed the emperor, but he is also a somewhat lonely old man.

His children are not around, and because he is the emperor, he does not have a bunch of friends with whom he can chat and quarrel like the old people in Qingshi Lane.

On weekdays, Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi were the only ones who could talk to Qi Jun about themselves, but they also had their own things to do.

In addition, Qi Jun is in poor health and has bad eyesight... He stays in the house almost every day!

If Qi Jun didn't like to socialize, he would definitely wish for this, but the key point is that Qi Jun actually likes to make friends.

He has a gentle personality and loves fun.

Qi Jun must have been unhappy in his past days.

To Qi Jun, the palace might be like a prison.

In short, after discovering Qi Jun's situation, Li Qingzhi no longer regarded Qi Jun as the emperor, but regarded Qi Jun as an elder like Li Laogen and Jin Dajiang.

He has always been a person who pleases the elderly. Seeing that Qi Jun has never seen many things, he takes Qi Jun to see them. When chatting with Qi Jun, he can talk about anything...

he and

Qi Jun's relationship is getting better day by day.

How should I put it, Li Qingzhi now has a feeling that if they were in modern times and he was selling health care products to Qi Jun, Qi Jun might go bankrupt to buy them from him...

Qi Jun is really a soft-hearted person.

"Okay." Qi Jun followed Li Qingzhi into the kitchen.

There are two stoves in the Li family's kitchen, with a total of three pots. One pot on one stove is specially used to boil water for Qi Jun to take medicinal baths, and the other two pots are used for cooking.

At this moment, porridge was being cooked in one pot, egg pancakes were being fried in the other pot, and Zhang Zao was lighting a fire behind the stove.

Qi Jun has never been in the kitchen before, so everything he sees now is new. Of course, this is also because he is in good condition recently and can see things more clearly than before.

"Master Liu, it's very comfortable to make a fire in winter. Do you want to try it?" Li Qingzhi suggested.

Qi Jun said without thinking: "Okay." He had never burned a fire behind such a stove!

Li Qingzhi asked Zhang Zao to come out, sit behind the two stoves with Qi Jun, and instructed Qi Jun to light the fire: "The fire is too strong for cooking porridge. The porridge and soup will overflow. If you are making egg cakes, the fire should be smaller." , otherwise the egg pancake will burn instantly..."

It was really warm when the fire was burning, and his whole body felt warm. This was something Qi Jun had never done before... He took a small wooden stick and poked the firewood in the stove, having a great time.

It's such a comfortable life to live like this!

Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhi brought a piece of fried egg pancake to Qi Jun: "Master Liu, please try it."

"Isn't this... not appropriate?" The meal hasn't started yet, so he eats in advance? Qi Jun was a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing inappropriate." Li Qingzhi took a piece for himself and ate it.

Seeing this, Qi Jun took the egg pancake and took a bite.

This egg pancake is quite delicious, the best egg pancake he has ever tasted!

Today's porridge is preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

After the porridge was cooked, Zhang Zao put in the chopped lean meat and preserved eggs, as well as a small piece of ginger and salt.

In addition to porridge and egg pancakes, they also prepared several pickles that can be eaten together later.

Qi Jun actually added some firewood to the stove, but he also felt involved and felt that he helped make the breakfast!

His appetite has improved a lot!

However, he didn't like Li Laogen every day. After all, Li Laogen drank porridge loudly and kept showing off to him: "Old Liu, let me tell you, my son has always been the first in the imperial examination. This time he won the first prize." It must be the same. In two or three months, I will have a son who is the number one scholar! I never thought that I would have such a day!"

"What a life I lived before! After meeting my son, I lived a good life!"

"He took the initiative to recognize me as his father! It must be because he thinks I'm good!"

…

Qi Jun coughed lightly: "Brother Li, have you ever soaked in a hot spring?"

"I haven't gone swimming, but my son has. He was invited by other people to go swimming. He is very popular and everyone likes him..."

"Li Laogen, um, Brother Li, do you want to take a bath in a hot spring? I can take you to a nearby hot spring village for a dip," Qi Jun said.

"I think! I think!" Li Laogen was very excited: "I like hot springs the most!"

Li Laogen had never soaked in a hot spring, but after Li Qingzhi went there, he asked Li Qingzhi and he knew what a hot spring was.

He wanted to take a bath. He heard that hot springs were good for his health.

Li Qingzhi glanced at Qi Jun. He knew that Qi Jun suggested this because he probably wanted to see the mole on his back.

In this case, he must provide Qi Jun with a chance.

Li Qingzhi smiled and agreed, agreeing that the whole family would go to the hot springs with Qi Jun tomorrow.

Li Qingzhi also said: "Master Liu, I will prepare the medicine you need for the medicated bath in advance and bring it to you. You can take a bath when you get there."

"Okay." Qi Jun agreed.

After breakfast, Qi Jun took a rest and began to take a medicinal bath.

Li Qing gave him a massage and used his golden fingers to treat him.

In addition to treatment, Li Qing used part of his energy to change Qi Jun's appearance.

Qi Jun has been in bed all year round to recuperate. His face is a bit swollen and he is still puffy.

And when Qi Jun gets better and exercises, his face will slowly reduce swelling and his figure will get better.

His appearance will also change.

Li Qingzhi planned to take this opportunity to slightly change Qi Jun's facial features.

As for how to change... then naturally change in the direction of being like him!

To make people think he looks like Qi Jun, in addition to changing his face, you can also change Qi Jun's face!

Of course, he will only make some small changes and won't make Qi Jun completely different, but this is enough.

A person's face can change a lot with just a few tweaks.

His face will be fine-tuned, and Qi Jun's face will also be fine-tuned. In a few months, when Qi Jun is no longer bloated and swollen, the two of them will look like five people.

By then, Qi Jun's health should be much better.

If he insists on treating Qi Jun, Qi Jun will live a long life.

Qi Jun is a very talkative person and is very kind to him... Li Qingzhi is already planning to put more care into Qi Jun's body.

After taking a medicinal bath, Qi Jun felt comfortable all over.

Daozhang Lu is really a master. When he and Li Qingzhi were together, his health began to get better!

Qi Jun doesn't wash his hair every day, but he did it today.

It was still Li Qingzhi who washed his hair. While washing, Li Qingzhi also massaged him.

Qi Jun lay there, feeling happy.

In this civil and military dynasty, whose son would wash their hair?

What a wonderful son he is!

It's a pity that he can't tell anyone, but Li Laogen can show off all day long!

Another unpleasant day for Li Laogen.

The house where Concubine Liu lived before had been converted by Li Qingzhi into a study room for several children to study.

After washing his hair, Qi Jun went to the kang in the house to dry his hair. Li Qingzhi also sat on the kang and gave instructions to several children on their homework.

After Li Damao and Li Ermao learned today's homework from Li Qingzhi, they went to Qi Jun next to them: "Grandpa, will you play chess with us today?"

"Grandpa can't defeat you. If he can't defeat you, how about this? Grandpa will teach you how to draw?"

"Okay, okay!" Li Damao and Li Ermao agreed.

Qi Jun's painting skills are also very average, but he can draw at least. It happened that the gifts he sent to the Li family during this period contained paint...

Qi Jun mixed the paint and drew a bird for the two children to see.

"Grandpa, you draw so well!"

"Grandpa, what else can you draw?"

"Grandpa, can you draw hens?"

…

Li Damao and Li Ermao stood next to Qi Jun and kept asking questions.

Qi Jun felt that his heart was about to melt.

After Qi'an entered the palace, he also got along with Qi'an and liked the child very much.

But Qi'an is prone to crying at a young age. As for himself, he is not in good health and still smells... Qi'an has always been unwilling to be hugged by him, and he can't hold her.

The most he could do was tease Qi An when he wasn't crying.

In addition, Qi'an is young and was not very good at talking before, so there was not much interaction between him and Qi'an.

He likes Qi'an very much and wants to give the throne to Qi'an, but he is not particularly close to Qi'an, even...not as close as he is to Li Damao and Li Ermao!

Because of Li Qingzhi, Li Damao and Li Ermao were used to clinging to others. Qi Jun also gave them food and toys every day and taught them how to play chess...

They fell in love with Qi Jun immediately and stayed next to Qi Jun all day long.

Although Qi Jun has two daughters, the eldest and second princesses were raised by their mothers and were not close to him. This was the first time that he was so close to a child. The two children were next to him on each side and gave him a A feeling of "hug left and right" satisfaction.

Qi Jun smiled so hard that his eyes turned into slits. He wished he could give all the good things to Li Damao and Li Ermao: "Grandpa will draw a hen for you. Grandpa will draw whatever you want him to do! By the way, grandpa's house There are some very nice paintings, grandpa will show them to you tomorrow."

Li Qingzhi took a look and realized that Qi Jun had become an old man who doted on his grandson.

A few days ago, Li Da Mao and Li Er Mao were learning to play chess, and Qi Jun gave them two extremely precious chess sets made of jade and ivory.

Now these two children are learning to draw, and most of the paintings Qi Jun said he wanted to show them are also priceless.

How could the things in the palace be any worse?

Empty nesters are really easy to coax stuff away from them.

Qi Jun had never enjoyed family happiness before, but he really enjoyed it here with Li Qingzhi.

He returned to the palace in a very good mood, and immediately told Lu Qingxi what happened today.

Lu Qingxi: "..." He also wants such family happiness!

The next day is the day to go to the hot springs.

The hot spring village Qi Jun chose was closer to the capital than the one Lu Qingxi arranged for Li Qingzhi to soak in hot springs last time.

For safety reasons, Qi Jun went to Zhuangzi alone. As for Li Qingzhi and the others, he asked Lu Qingxi to arrange for someone to pick them up.

Mrs. Qian was probably born in the first month of the year. She was not suitable for hot springs, so she didn't go with her. However, Li Laogen, Jin Xiaoye, Zhao Xiaodou, Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhang Zao all went.

Lu Qingxi found two carriages to pick them up, and they arrived at the hot spring village in the middle of the morning.

Li Qingzhi asked Jin Xiaoye and the others to soak in the hot springs and play in the water first, while he went to give Qi Jun a medicinal bath and massage.

While doing this, the two of them inevitably chatted a few more words. Mainly Qi Jun asked and Li Qing said.

In the first few days, Li Qingzhi mainly talked about his previous experiences, but now it was different. They started talking about other things.

Li Qing said: "I like the book "Qingdu Sanren" very much. My dream is that everyone can have enough food, clothing and education. Everyone does not need to study the books for the imperial examination, but everyone should be able to read. …"

"This is not easy. Most of the people in this world are dull and cannot learn."

Qi Jun said.

"That's because the current writing is too difficult. I think it can be simplified." Li Qing insisted.

In Li Qingzhi's previous life, at a certain time, someone once said, "If Chinese characters are not destroyed, China will perish."

People at the time would say this, for no other reason than that traditional Chinese characters were too difficult to learn and had too many strokes.

If you want to learn all those traditional Chinese characters, you will need to learn them for a long, long time!

In the modern sociology of simplified Chinese vernacular, children take two Chinese classes every day. After three or four years of learning, they can already recognize most commonly used characters and read some large books. However, it is definitely not that easy to switch to traditional Chinese characters.

Of course, there is no rush. Li Qingzhi just happened to talk about this matter and muttered a few words to Qi Jun.

If someone else said this to Qi Jun, Qi Jun would definitely think that they were talking nonsense and that the words could not be simplified.

But the person who said this to him now is Li Qingzhi... Qi Jun said: "This is a good idea, but there must be many people who are not happy."

It is certain that those who have mastered the knowledge do not want ordinary people to learn to read.

If everyone could read, scholars would have no status. After Qi Jun took a medicinal bath, he did not rinse with water as before, but went directly to the hot spring, intending to take a dip.

Li Qingzhi knew that he wanted to see his back, so he naturally walked with him, taking off his clothes and entering the water wearing only a pair of shorts.

The previous time when they soaked in hot springs, Li Qingzhi and the other people were in one pool each, but this time it was different.

Qi Jun arranged a large, shallow pool for all the men to soak together.

In this pool, an adult man can sit with his shoulders and head exposed. This depth is very suitable for children to play in the water. Li Damao and Li Ermao had a great time playing.

Qi Jun didn't need to take off his clothes and had already entered the water first. When Li Qingzhi came over, he immediately went around behind Li Qingzhi and looked at Li Qingzhi's back.

On Li Qingzhi's back, there is a mole that looks exactly like the mole on his back!

The positions of these two moles are exactly the same!

Qi Jun breathed a sigh of relief and was in a very good mood.

The person in front of him should be his son, there is no mistake!

For the sake of Li Qingzhi's safety, he will not disclose the identity of Prince Li Qingzhi for the time being, but he will recognize Li Qingzhi immediately!

Chapter 229 Recognizing the Son

The hot spring village where they bathed belonged to Qi Jun.

The royal family of Da Qi has always been sparse in population, and Qi Jun also has many Zhuangzi houses that have not yet been rewarded, and this is one of them.

Qi Jun has always been frugal, so there are only a few people waiting on the Zhuangzi, and the facilities inside are average. But even so, in Li Laogen's eyes, this Zhuangzi is already too good.

Li Laogen put on a pair of pants and soaked in the hot spring. He kept asking Li Qingzhi various questions: "Ah Qing, is this water really heated by someone?"

"Aqing, this water smells like!"

"Ah Qing, can we buy a village like this in the future? Then in winter, we can take a bath comfortably every day."

…

When Qi Jun came back to his senses, he saw Li Laogen talking non-stop with Li Qingzhi.

He was really getting more and more annoyed when he looked at Li Laogen.

Li Laogen didn't know what Qi Jun was thinking, and said to Qi Jun: "Brother Liu, although you are rich, I have a good son. In the future, my son will definitely be able to buy a manor like this. You will be different. That son of yours..."

Li Qingzhi stopped Li Laogen: "Dad, stop talking." Li Laogen has something on his body, and he specializes in stepping on other people's pain points.

Li Laogen muttered: "I'm just telling the truth, why can't I tell you the truth?"

Li Qingzhi: "..."

Qi Jun couldn't bear it anymore and said to Li Qing: "Li Jieyuan, I have something to say to you alone."

Li Qingzhi was his son and he couldn't let others know. He wanted to tell Li Qingzhi quietly.

"Then let's go for a walk nearby?" Li Qing insisted, "Master Liu, this hot spring is really not suitable for you to soak in for a long time."

Qi Jun's body is very weak, and he has already taken a medicinal bath. If he goes to the hot spring again, soaking for a long time will not be good for his health.

"Then I won't wait until later." Qi Jun said.

This hot spring pool is also surrounded by a house. In the next house, there is a pool with a higher water temperature.

The two came to the pool where the temperature was higher. Qi Jun asked the servants to leave and said to Li Qing: "Li Jieyuan, I lost a child in my early years. On the child's left shoulder blade, there was a mole like mine... …"

"Master Liu, do you think I am your lost child?" Li Qingzhi asked.

Li Qingzhi hoped that Qi Jun would recognize him as the prince, and for this reason, he did a lot of things.

But Qi Jun recognized him too quickly!

He thought it would take some time for Qi Jun to recognize him.

"Yes! I felt friendly the first time I saw you. You look so much like me. You also have a mole on your back..." Qi Jun looked at Li Qingzhi seriously, his eyes moist.

The matter has not yet been clarified. Even if he has determined it in his heart, there is not much evidence to prove that Li Qingzhi is his son.

But he still told Li Qingzhi without hesitation.

He felt that even if there was no evidence, Li Qingzhi was still his son!

Even...even if Li Qingzhi is not his son, he is willing to recognize Li Qingzhi.

He had previously planned to make Qi'an the crown prince, but Qi'an's blood relationship with him was actually very distant.

"My child was taken away as soon as he was born. I didn't know he existed before. I couldn't help him..." Qi Jun briefly talked about the situation back then. Of course, like the daughter born to Concubine Liu, He didn't say anything about being killed right after he was born.

But when he remembered it, his mood inevitably became depressed, his breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.

"Master Liu, please sit down and speak slowly." Li Qingzhi noticed that Qi Jun's mood was not right, so he helped Qi Jun sit down next to him.

While doing this, he used the little energy in his body to comfort Qi Jun.

Qi Jun took a deep breath, and his heartbeat slowly stabilized.

Being with Li Qingzhi made him feel really at ease.

Li Qing said:

"Master Liu, you must not be a businessman? The chess pieces and chessboards you gave to Da Mao Ermao before were not ordinary, and this Zhuangzi is not something that a businessman can just come to... Are you sure I am your son?" Qi Junyi At first I was covering up a little bit, but in the past few days I haven't been covering up much.

Let's talk about this Zhuangzi if nothing else... How could a businessman own a hot spring village so close to the capital?

Qi Jun said: "You look so much like me, there is no mistake. Besides, I am indeed not a businessman, and my surname is not Liu. My name is Qi Jun."

Ordinary people may not necessarily know what the current Holy Emperor is called, but people like Li Qingzhi all know it.

Qi Jun said his name, which was equivalent to saying that he was the emperor.

Li Qingzhi was stunned.

On the one hand, Qi Jun was too candid, and it was difficult for him not to be stunned. On the other hand...

Knowing that Qi Jun is the emperor, he should be stunned!

Li Qingzhi recognized the identity of the fake prince just by chance, but he didn't intend to admit it in vain - he would help Qi Jun heal his body, and he could also help treat Qi An's eyes and face.

In this way, he can be regarded as worthy of Qi Jun!

As a result... Qi Jun valued him more than he thought.

Qi Jun said again at this time: "My surname is not Liu, but your mother's surname is Liu. She is my noble concubine."

Li Qingzhi looked at Qi Jun blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Hexing Prefecture, Jiang'an Province.

It happened to be noon now, so Gou Tongzhi went home for dinner.

Li Qingzhi went to Beijing, but Gou Ying still stayed in Chongcheng County and did not return to Fucheng.

He doesn't want to come back!

Although Gou Tongzhi was worried about Gou Ying, he still accepted this and only took time to visit Chongcheng County from time to time.

In fact, he thought it would be good if Gou Ying didn't come back.

Since Gou Ying was not at home, he would not be angry all day long, and his relationship with his wife was much better than before.

Although his wife still felt aggrieved for no reason, the two of them finally stopped quarreling!

Not long ago, his wife paid for a cook who was good at cooking food from his hometown... Gou Tongzhi is not picky about food, but there is no doubt that he prefers the food from his hometown.

Recently he goes home for dinner every day.

As soon as he walked into his rented yard, Gou Tongzhi asked his wife: "What are you going to eat today?"

"Today I'm going to eat nine-turn large intestine and stir-fried kidneys." Mrs. Gou said.

These are all his favorite dishes, and Gou Tongzhi's eyes lit up.

Mrs. Gou asked her servants to help Gou Tongzhi take off his coat, and went to the restaurant with Gou Tongzhi.

"Ms. sir, the Chinese New Year is approaching, is there a lot of work in the yamen?" Mrs. Gou said softly. Gou Tong knew: "It's a lot, I haven't had any free time recently!"

"I bought some sea cucumbers. In the evening, I will ask the cook to make sea cucumbers roasted with green onions to replenish my husband." Mrs. Gou said again.

Mrs. Gou previously wanted to have a son, but in the end she gave birth to a daughter.

After feeling uncomfortable for a while, she regrouped and planned to repair her relationship with Gou Tongzhi and see if she could have another one.

Other than that, it's Gou Ying.

That's her son! We can't let Gou Ying stay outside all the time! Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Li Qingzhi poured into her son. Her son didn't listen to her, so he listened to Li Qingzhi.

She carefully selected a husband for her son, but her son actually ran away from home.

Is this her son or someone else's?

The cook had already prepared the dishes. When Gou Tongzhi came back, he immediately started serving the dishes, and Gou Tongzhi ate happily.

While Mrs. Gou was serving Gou Tongzhi, she said, "My lord, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Shouldn't we call Aying back?"

"In a few days, Li Xiucai's school will be on vacation, and I will have someone bring him back then." Gou Tong knew.

Mrs. Gou said again: "Then... next year, should we change A Ying's husband? Isn't it not good to let the scholar teach him all the time?"

Gou Tong knew: "I also want to change it for him. Isn't it because he doesn't agree? It's your fault. Originally, he agreed to go to Chongwen Academy to study, but you chose such a teacher for him!"

After hatching eggs with Gou Ying, Gou Tongzhi's relationship with Gou Ying became better. Therefore, he learned a lot about Gou Ying's life in Chongwen Academy from Gou Ying.

In short, Gou Ying had a very difficult time in Chongwen Academy.

His wife didn't mention this matter before, so Gou Tongzhi didn't say much, but now that she did, Gou Tongzhi started to complain.

Mrs. Gou looked ugly.

Gou Tongzhi didn't notice at all and kept talking: "You, a mother-in-law, don't care about A Ying..."

"I also care about Aying, so I want to find a good husband for him."

"If you really care about A Ying, would you know his temperament and end up finding him the most unsuitable husband? Li Zixiao understands A Ying better than you." Gou Tong knew.

Mrs. Gou had long been resentful towards Li Qingzhi. Now when she heard what Gou Tongzhi said, she couldn't help but said, "If you open your mouth or shut up, it's Li Zixiao. He is just a civil servant. Is it possible that he can still get you promoted?"

Gou Tongzhi was about to say something when suddenly someone ran in from outside: "Sir, sir, the imperial edict is here!"

Is there an imperial edict? Gou Tongzhi hurried out and wanted to know what happened.

Soon, he knew what was going on.

He got promoted! He was promoted to the prefect of Hexing Prefecture!

This was really too fast. He thought it would take him several years to become a prefect, but he never thought that he would be promoted in the blink of an eye!

"Master Gou, the emperor knows that you are a good official, so he promoted you. You must serve the emperor well." Humane said.

"I will serve the emperor well. Long live the emperor!" Gou Tongzhi was extremely excited.

A few years after he passed the Jinshi exam, he became the prefect!

In Daqi, there were many officials who were promoted quickly, but he never imagined that he could be promoted so quickly!

"Master Gou, the emperor has written a letter to you." The man said again, taking out a letter and giving it to the newly appointed Magistrate Gou.

Magistrate Gou became even more excited.

He never expected that he would receive a personal letter from the emperor!

This is a great honor!

With trembling hands, Governor Gou opened the letter in his hand...

Wait, the emperor decided to promote him after reading several storybooks written by Li Qing?

He knew that the book written by Li Qing and featuring him as the protagonist was very popular in Hexing Mansion, but he never expected that the emperor had also read this book!

Even after reading it, the emperor actually promoted him because of this book!

Magistrate Gou was at a loss, but the people around him were overjoyed, and Mrs. Gou immediately prepared money to give away.

Seeing his wife, Magistrate Gou came to his senses and said to his wife: "Look, Li Zixiao promoted me!"

Mrs. Gou was furious.

But Magistrate Gou was still in excitement: "Li Zixiao is simply my noble man!"

He discovered that as long as he listened to Li Qingzhi, everything would go smoothly!

Now, because of Li Zixiao, even the emperor has paid attention to him... He must be a good official in the future!

Magistrate, this is the magistrate!

He doesn't mind being the prefect for life at all! Regarding his son's studies, it would be better not to listen to his wife, but to listen to Li Qingzhi!

Let his son continue to study in Chongcheng County!

Speaking of which, the emperor has read the book written by Li Qingzhi, and he must like Li Qingzhi very much. As long as Li Qingzhi seizes the opportunity, he will surely rise to the top.

They are really awesome!

Jiang'an Province, provincial capital.

In Hexing Mansion, the person who announced the decree had rested and washed before going to announce the decree. It was different here in the provincial capital.

The emperor did not issue a decree to Governor Zhang, but only wrote a letter. The person who sent the letter did not delay. After arriving at the provincial capital, he sent the letter directly to Governor Zhang.

Therefore, although the provincial capital is farther from the capital than Hexing Prefecture is, Governor Zhang and Prefect Gou saw the letter from the capital at about the same time.

Governor Zhang was a little surprised to learn that the emperor had written to him.

The emperor thought highly of him, but in the past he would only write a few more strokes on his memorials. In recent years, all the memorials were reviewed by Lu Qingxi, and all the people who wrote on his memorials were Lu Qingxi.

Under such circumstances, why did the emperor suddenly write to him?

Governor Zhang opened the letter and read it. This reading... made him extremely embarrassed.

He knew that many people had read Li Qing's book praising him, and it had even been adapted into a play.

Many people think he likes these, but in fact... he has been trying hard to ignore these books and plays!

Fortunately, no one mentioned this in front of him this year.

As a result, just when he thought the matter was over

When the emperor wrote to him, he actually talked about this book.

The emperor actually wrote to him specifically for this book!

Even the emperor has read this book. Have others also read it?

Is it possible that this book has become popular in the capital?

What will others think of him then? And Li Qingzhi, will those people have a bad impression of Li Qingzhi because of this?

Governor Zhang was extremely confused.

In the hot spring village.

However, Li Qingzhi completed the acknowledgment of marriage with Qi Jun.

The progress was really fast. He thought Qi Jun had to wait for more evidence before telling him, but in the end...

Qi Jun recognized him immediately.

"Ah Qing, I know what I said today is a bit sudden, but you are indeed my son." Qi Jun said.

Li Qingzhi felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you'd better go and check first..."

"I've already had someone check it out, but there shouldn't be any surprises. Not only do you look like me, but the moles on your body are exactly the same as mine!" Qi Jun said.

Li Qingzhi didn't know what to say.

Qi Jun was very considerate of Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, I just want to tell you about this matter. Now that the court is unstable, I will not disclose your identity for the time being. Besides, you have read so many books. It would be a pity not to take part in the imperial examination." Now, after the Chinese New Year, you can take the imperial examination..."

Qi Jun said a lot.

He couldn't recognize Li Qingzhi for the time being. He planned to wait until the power of King Jin and King Yan was weakened before discussing the matter.

In this case...the general examination is not long away, and Li Qingzhi can definitely participate.

When Li Qingzhi shows his talents in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty...the ministers in the court will definitely appreciate Li Qingzhi. When he recognizes Li Qingzhi, it will be much smoother.

Qi Jun talked a lot, saying how he would pave the way for Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi got along with Qi Jun during this period and had a good impression of Qi Jun.

But he is not young mentally, so before, he had always regarded Qi Jun as a peer.

Because Qi Jun was in poor health, he took better care of Qi Jun.

But at this moment, he really felt his father's love from Qi Jun.

Qi Jun is a bit like his father in his previous life.

He had only seen the original owner's father in his memory. Li Laogen didn't look like a father at all, but Qi Jun had been thinking about him.

Li Qingzhi knew that Qi Jun regarded him as his son because of the misguidance of Lu Qingxi and Liu Guifei. He also knew that the "father-son feeling" in Qi Jun's eyes was because he was using his golden finger to treat Qi Jun.

But now that the matter is over, he and Qi Jun can get along well just like any other father and son.

"Ah Qing, please call me Uncle Liu from now on." Qi Jun finally said.

He knew that Li Qingzhi might not be used to suddenly having Li Qingzhi call him daddy. In that case, let Li Qingzhi call him Uncle Liu first.

He wanted to recognize his son, but he didn't want to force Li Qingzhi, lest Li Qingzhi alienate him.

In fact, part of the reason why he wanted to recognize his son was because Li Qingzhi was very close to him and treated him as an ordinary elder.

"Okay...Uncle Liu, I heard that eggs cooked in hot springs are delicious. Do you want to try them?" Li Qing asked.

Qi Jun said: "Yes!" Can the hot spring soak eggs? He doesn't even know!

Li Qingzhi found a servant from Zhuangzi and asked him to find some eggs.

Everyone in Zhuangzi needs to eat. This time Qi Jun and the others came over, and Lu Qingxi specially prepared some ingredients, so there was no shortage of eggs.

The servant quickly delivered twenty eggs to Li Qingzhi.

Hot spring eggs are very simple to make. Just put the eggs in the hot spring. Li Qingzhi put the eggs in and said to Qi Jun: "Uncle Liu, do you want to go shopping in Zhuangzi?"

There's no way Qi Jun wouldn't agree!

Li Qingzhi took Qi Jun outside.

Qi Jun was afraid of the cold and wore a lot of clothes, so he walked very slowly. Li Qingzhi walked slowly beside him and chatted with him.

The conversation was mainly about Qi Jun's life in recent years.

As for Li Qingzhi's experience... Qi Jun always asked him before, and he had already told Qi Jun everything.

The two walked around the house. Li Qingzhi saw some wheat straw for making fire in the woodshed behind, so he pulled some out and made two small baskets out of the straw, intending to take them back to Li Damao and Li Ermao. .

In the blink of an eye, he saw Qi Jun watching eagerly, and Li Qingzhi made a slightly larger basket for Qi Jun.

Qi Jun is the emperor and the most noble being in Da Qi, but his life in the past was really not very good.

He was neglected when he was young, was finally made a prince and was poisoned to destroy his body.

After being poisoned and ascending the throne, he was ignored by the previous Jin king.

When King Jin died suddenly, his health soon failed...

"Uncle Liu, if there is nothing going on in the palace, you can stay at my house, which will help you recuperate." Li Qing insisted.

If Qi Jun stayed at his house for a long time, he could treat Qi Jun more.

Moreover, if a person wants to be in good health, his mood is also very important. With Qi Jun living here, his mood will not be bad.

"There are still some things to deal with in the palace, but I can also come and stay for a few days." Qi Jun said.

It was already December now, and Li Qingzhi said again: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. When we get back from here, we will buy new year's goods. Will Uncle Liu come with us?"

"Okay!" Qi Jun said.

Li Qingzhi laughed and told Qi Jun how he celebrated the New Year when he was in Chongcheng County...

Qi Jun could feel that after he confessed to Li Qingzhi, Li Qingzhi became closer to him!

This is good!

In fact, Qi Jun didn't plan to tell Li Qingzhi that he was the emperor at first, but after they actually started talking... he felt that it didn't hurt to tell him.

Now it seems that it does not matter if I say it.

After he made it clear, Lu Qingxi could come with him to see Li Qingzhi!

Qi Jun had been thinking about Lu Qingxi's future, hoping that after his death, Lu Qingxi would have a good death.

Now he doesn't have to worry about it!

He has a son. When the time comes, he will tell Li Qingzhi and ask Li Qingzhi to take more care of Lu Qingxi. Unless Lu Qingxi does something extremely sinful, he will definitely not be liquidated.

There was also Concubine Liu Guifei. He had been worried about her before, fearing that she would be wronged at the hands of the new emperor.

Now he doesn't have to worry. When he dies, his Aman will be the Queen Mother!

Qi Jun was in a good mood.

Li Qingzhi took Qi Jun out for a walk simply because he wanted Qi Jun to exercise.

After assessing the amount of exercise and feeling that it was enough, he took Qi Jun back.

The hot spring eggs were ready. Li Qingzhi put the twenty eggs in a basket and took them to Li Laogen and the others.

"Ah Qing, give me two eggs." Qi Jun said as he took two eggs and put them in two small baskets made of wheat straw, intending to carry them to Li Damao and Li Ermao.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhi put an egg into the slightly larger basket he made for Qi Jun: "Uncle Liu, you can try it too."

Qi Jun looked at the eggs in the basket and couldn't help but

The eggs placed in the basket were very popular with Li Damao and Li Ermao. They couldn't wait to crack the eggs and eat them.

"Dad, these eggs are so delicious!" Li Ermao said.

Li Damao prefers small baskets: "Dad, how are you weaving this basket?"

"I'll teach you later." Li Qing insisted.

It was already time for dinner, and Li Qingzhi asked Li Laogen and the others to change clothes and go to dinner.

The dinner was very sumptuous. They will stay here one night today, take a dip in the hot springs tomorrow morning, and then go home.

Jin Xiaoye is a female family member. She soaked in a separate pool, and a maid wiped her back... During dinner, she insisted to Li Qing: "I don't think I have ever been so clean in my life!"

The maid who wiped her back was so hard that she felt like a layer of skin was being rubbed off her!

When she was in Chongcheng County, she often took baths, but no one would rub her like this.

"I rubbed my back after soaking in the hot spring before, and I feel lighter." Li Qingzhi laughed and picked up some food for Qi Jun.

Qi Jun ate the dish immediately and looked at Li Laogen proudly.

Li Qingzhi also picked up some food for him!

Chapter 230 Treating Eyes (Catching Insects)

The food at the hot spring village is quite rich, mainly with a lot of vegetables.

People in Zhuangzi planted some vegetables near the hot springs.

However, there are not many edible vegetables these days, including tomatoes.

Qi Jun had been eating at Li's house for a while, and Li Qingzhi already knew what he liked to eat, so he picked out his favorite dishes for him.

Qi Jun ate with satisfaction.

How nice his son is, remembering what he likes to eat!

There were few people today, but Li Damao, Li Ermao, Jin Xiaoye, Zhao Xiaodou and Zhang Zao were dining at the same table with him. The bustle made him feel particularly warm!

Well, it would be better if Li Laogen wasn't sitting next to him.

After dinner, everyone went to sleep in the room that had been prepared in advance in Zhuangzi.

It was also at this time that Li Qingzhi told Jin Xiaoye about Qi Jun's acquaintance with him.

Jin Xiaoye is his wife. After he confessed his identity to Jin Xiaoye, he no longer deceived Jin Xiaoye and told Jin Xiaoye everything.

It would be so sad if a person doesn't even have anyone to whom he can express his opinions.

And if Li Zhu knew something, why didn't Jin Xiaoye know it? Compared to Li Zhu, he definitely trusts Jin Xiaoye more.

Jin Xiaoye was a little dumbfounded: "So simple?"

Li Qing insisted: "Actually, it's not that simple. The emperor firmly believes that I am his son. There are various reasons."

First, Lu Mingshan, who was portrayed as a master, swore that Qi Jun had a son, and then Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi together subtly instilled some ideas into Qi Jun...

Of course, he also did a lot of things.

A few days ago, he helped Qi Jun treat him every day!

Qi Jun would believe it was so normal!

"Then you will be the prince from now on?" Jin Xiaoye asked again.

"Yes," Li Qingzhi laughed, "Xiaoye, you will be the princess from now on."

Jin Xiaoye: "..." She really felt unreal. The world was changing so fast!

She thought that when she arrived in the capital this time, Li Qing

Zhi just wanted to take the Jinshi exam, and he had to take his time to become an official. As a result...

Before taking the general examination, Li Qingzhi recognized his father as an emperor!

"Can someone like me be a princess?" Jin Xiaoye asked.

Li Qing insisted: "Concubine Liu is also from a peasant family." The royal family of Daqi did not pay attention to this. Wasn't Prince Jin's mother born in Linhu County, the daughter of a small family?

Of course, after she gave birth to King Jin for the first King of Jin, her mother's family also became a dominant force in Linhu County.

The two talked a lot before falling asleep.

In the next room, Qi Jun was very excited. He tossed and turned for a long time, thinking that he would be unable to sleep all night.

result…

The amount of exercise he had today was quite heavy for him, and he fell asleep quickly!

Forget it, he still slept very well!

Qi Jun used to be weak and his sleep quality was not good. When he went to bed at night, he basically dreamed. Sometimes he didn't know whether he fell asleep or not, but this night, he didn't dream at all.

The next morning, several children couldn't wait to play in the water again. As for Qi Jun, he still took a medicinal bath.

However, Li Qingzhi shortened his soaking time and only allowed him to soak for about twenty minutes, so that Qi Jun could go to the hot spring and play with the children for a while.

They returned in the afternoon.

The capital city now is no longer the same as when they first arrived.

It is already the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated in half a month, and the city will be full of New Year flavor.

Li Qingzhi also saw a scholar setting up a stall and writing couplets for people to make money.

In addition, people in the capital also bought a lot of new year products at home to prepare for the New Year.

Modern families have a small population and do not need to prepare too many New Year's goods. However, in this era, there are many large families, and there are many people in their families. In addition, Li Qingzhi is a big eater...

Li Qingzhi had already planned to prepare more food for his family before the New Year.

This is not the modern era where supermarkets are open on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In Daqi, there is a high probability that no shops will be open on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

But because Qi Jun gives them gifts every day, including food that can be stored for a long time, they don't have much to prepare for the New Year.

Li Qingzhi plans to buy one after another starting from tomorrow.

There was still something to do in the palace. After arriving in the capital, Qi Jun returned to the palace.

However, after he returned to the palace, he did not go to deal with government affairs. Instead, he went to the harem to find Concubine Liu.

"Aman!" Qi Jun shouted excitedly when he saw Concubine Liu Guifei.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Liu was holding Qi An and talking to Qi An when she saw Qi Jun and stood up quickly.

Qi Jun glanced at Qi An and said to Concubine Liu: "Aman, let the wet nurse hold An An." He had something to say to Concubine Liu in private.

Seeing Qi Jun's expression, Concubine Liu guessed what Qi Jun was thinking, and immediately called the wet nurse to come and take Qi An away.

"The Emperor has something to say to me?" Concubine Liu asked.

Qi Jun said: "Aman, I should have found our son!"

Concubine Liu would talk to Lu Qingxi from time to time, so she naturally knew that Qi Jun firmly believed that Li Qingzhi was his son.

It's just that Qi Jun never told her before.

Now Qi Jun finally said it... Liu Guifei looked surprised: "Really? Who is he? Where is he? It's all my fault. In fact, I had a vague feeling at the time and knew that I had given birth to two children, but later I didn't see the child, so I thought I had made a mistake…"

During this period, Concubine Liu often told Qi Jun about her pregnancy and childbirth, and she convinced Qi Jun that she was actually pregnant with two children.

Qi Jun really believed it.

"I think Li Qingzhi is our son." Qi Jun said.

Qi Jun told the story about a palace maid who saw a mole on the child's back when she saw it, and also said that the mole on Li Qingzhi's back looked exactly like the mole on his back...

"Actually, the first time I met him, I felt familiar and close to him," Liu Guifei said. "I was followed by several guards at the time. They saw Li Qingzhi walking towards me and wanted to stop him, but I saw Li Qingzhi walking towards me. Zhi felt that he was destined to me, so he didn't let them stop him..."

"Yes, I feel the same way!" Qi Jun said.

The two held hands and talked, and the more they talked, the more they felt that Li Qingzhi was their son.

Of course, this is the surface, but if you want to talk about the inside... Liu Guifei knows very well that Li Qingzhi is not her son.

She had given birth to one.

But all the coincidences put together... maybe God just saw how pitiful they were, so he gave them such a person.

The two talked for a long time, and finally stopped when Lu Qingxi came over.

Lu Qingxi said: "My Emperor! I have a lot of discounts waiting for you to see!"

"Axi, I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I won't read it. You can deal with the excerpts." Qi Jun said.

In the past, Qi Jun was always very anxious, worried that if he was sick and did not read the memorial in time, something would happen to the court.

But recently, he has been busy treating illnesses every day and has not paid any attention to the memorials. Nothing happened to Daqi?

Thinking about it carefully, when he was seriously ill in the past, he often couldn't get up for a long time and couldn't control anything. Daqi has always been fine...

He has no intention of completely ignoring the important affairs of the court. After the New Year, he will find a way to deal with King Jin and King Yan.

But in the first half of the year, he wanted to take a break.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Do you want the imperial doctor to take a look at it?" Lu Qingxi looked worried.

Although Qi Jun said that Li Qingzhi's medical skills were very good and that his health was getting better day by day since he took a medicinal bath at Li Qingzhi's place.

But Lu Qingxi has always been worried.

After taking care of Qi Jun for a lot of time, he also learned some pharmacology, and even went to the imperial doctor for advice.

According to the imperial doctor, Qi Jun was physically weak and had an internal disease, not something growing on his skin. Normally, taking a medicinal bath would be useless.

At most...it can dispel the coldness in Qi Jun's body.

The emperor felt that his recent good health was probably because he was in a good mood.

The emperor has been very happy since he knew he had a son!

Isn't that what people are like? When you have hope, you can hold on no matter how tired you are, but if you relax after this period, your body will immediately be unable to hold on.

"No, no, I'm fine." Qi Jun said.

"Your Majesty, let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you. We'll find the imperial doctor Hu and look at it for you quietly." Lu Qingxi said.

Dr. Hu is Qi Jun's confidant, and Qi Jun trusts him very much.

After hearing this, Concubine Liu also advised: "Your Majesty, let Dr. Hu take your pulse. If your health is really better, it will be a great good thing, and it also shows that what Director Lu said is right."

Qi Jun heard what they said and nodded: "Okay, let Dr. Hu come over."

After Qi Jun said these words, Lu Qingxi immediately called Dr. Hu over.

Dr. Hu is not young. When Qi Jun was poisoned more than 20 years ago, he was the one who tried his best to detoxify Qi Jun and save Qi Jun's life.

Over the years, he has been mainly responsible for recuperating Qi Jun's body. He prescribed the medicine that Qi Jun took.

When Royal Physician Hu saw Qi Jun, he couldn't help but said: "The emperor looks so good."

It's just been more than ten days since I last saw him, but the emperor's complexion has improved a lot!

The emperor has not looked so good for several years!

"My health has improved a lot recently. I walked a lot yesterday and I don't feel tired at all today." Qi Jun said.

Doctor Hu felt Qi Jun's pulse and asked Qi Jun various questions, such as how his appetite was these days and what he had eaten...

"I have a good appetite these days. I drank a small bowl of millet porridge this morning, ate two dumplings, an egg, and a few pickles. I ate it for lunch..." Qi Jun's appetite has always been bad. At that time, he ate less than Li Laogen.

But in the past two days, he has eaten as much as Li Laogen!

Qi Jun was happy when he thought about this.

"The emperor has eaten so much?" Lu Qingxi and others were a little surprised.

Qi Jun said: "I have eaten very little." Li Damao and Li Ermao can also eat so much. They will be hungry in a short time and they can eat more.

Dr. Hu let go of Qi Jun's hand and asked Qi Jun to use his other hand to check his pulse.

Qi Jun changed his hands, and Doctor Hu asked: "Your Majesty, what magic medicine have you taken during this period?"

Qi Jun said: "I didn't eat anything, I just took the medicine you prescribed, Dr. Hu."

Doctor Hu said: "Your Majesty, your health is much better than before. This is something that has never happened before!"

Qi Jun's body has been declining over the years.

The only thing they, the imperial doctors, can do is to find ways to slow down the process of decline.

But now... Qi Jun's health is actually getting better!

Last time Qi Jun took a bath. When he came to check Qi Jun's pulse, he only felt that Qi Jun was in good condition, but now, he could clearly feel that Qi Jun's body was getting better.

This is simply incredible!

But this happened in front of him!

"Seriously?" Lu Qingxi and Liu Guifei were extremely surprised.

Doctor Hu said: "It is absolutely true that the emperor's health is improving. Your Majesty, is it possible that a famous doctor has been treating you during this time?"

Qi Jun said: "Indeed, he didn't prescribe me any medicine. He just asked me to take a medicated bath and give me a massage every day."

"Your Majesty, can you let me see that doctor?" Doctor Hu asked.

Dr. Hu is over sixty years old. He considers himself to have excellent medical skills, but he has been treating Qi Jun for more than 20 years and has been unable to improve Qi Jun's health.

Now there is someone who can cure Qi Jun... He really wants to meet that colleague.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Qi Jun said.

"Your Majesty, can we communicate?" Doctor Hu asked.

Qi Jun thought for a while and finally said: "Write a letter and I will show it to him. But he may not be willing to correspond with you."

Li Qingzhi had a good temper, and Qi Jun felt that he should be willing to correspond with Hu Yuyi.

But Li Qingzhi was about to take part in the examination. As Li Qingzhi's father, selfishly, he did not want Dr. Hu to take away Li Qingzhi's feelings.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Doctor Hu said, "I will write a letter right away!"

The emperor's health is so bad, that person can actually make the emperor's health better!

Dr. Hu felt that he must be a miracle doctor, and when he wrote the letter, his words were very respectful.

After writing the letter, Dr. Hu gave it to Lu Qingxi.

Qi Jun immediately said: "Bring it to me and see."

Lu Qingxi heard this and gave the letter in his hand to Qi Jun.

Qi Jun unfolded the letter and read it. When he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Dr. Hu thought the person who was treating him was a respectable old doctor, but in fact, he was a young man in his twenties. He was not a doctor at all, but a scholar who was about to take the examination.

"Don't worry Hu Aiqing, I will show this letter to him tomorrow!" Qi Jun said.

After Dr. Hu left, Lu Qingxi immediately said: "Congratulations to the Emperor, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and you will definitely live a long life!"

"I didn't expect that what Lu Mingshan said was true. Your Majesty, your health is really well!" Liu Guifei also said.

Even Qi Jun couldn't help but feel excited.

Although he felt that his body was getting better, he didn't expect it to be so obvious!

He was really healthy when he was with Li Qingzhi!

"By the way, how are you doing, Mr. Lu?" Qi Jun thought of Lu Mingshan.

If it weren't for Lu Mingshan, he would definitely not have recognized Li Qingzhi now.

Lu Qing said happily: "Everything is fine with Master Lu."

When Lu Mingshan entered the palace, he was still a little nervous. When Lu Qingxi went to find him, he wanted to leave the palace. But now... Lu Qingxi found that Lu Mingshan was becoming more and more comfortable in the palace.

After the two empresses in the palace went to see Lu Mingshan's fortune, Lu Mingshan secretly came to him and asked about the life experiences of the two empresses so that they could read their fortunes.

Lu Qingxi knew more about the two empresses than Qi Jun. He informed Lu Mingshan at that time, and then Lu Mingshan coaxed the two empresses. Recently, the two empresses went to talk to Lu Mingshan every day. , treating Lu Mingshan as a master.

"Have you rested, Taoist Master Lu? I want to ask him to take a look at Li Qingzhi's face." Qi Jun said.

"Your Majesty, I have been very busy recently and have not discussed with Taoist Master Lu in detail. I will ask him tomorrow." Lu Mingshan said.

Qi Jun said: "Okay, after Master Lu has rested, let him accompany me to Li's house."

He had long wanted Lu Mingshan to visit Li Qingzhi, but Lu Mingshan had lost a lot of energy before, and he was embarrassed.

"Okay!" Lu Qingxi was thinking about telling Lu Mingshan something to say when he saw Li Qingzhi.

I don't know if Lu Mingshan will suddenly have problems this time. If Lu Mingshan has problems again... the prince Lu Mingshan talks about must be Li Qingzhi, right?

The next day, Qi Jun left the palace as usual and went to see Li Qingzhi for treatment. However, Lu Qingxi went to Lu Mingshan.

When Lu Qingxi arrived, Lu Mingshan was having breakfast.

There were few people in the palace, Qi Jun was in poor health and couldn't eat many things, so the chef in the imperial dining room often felt that he had no place for himself.

Now comes Lu Mingshan...

This is an expert specially invited by the emperor to the palace! The imperial chefs were very motivated and prepared special dishes for Lu Mingshan to eat every day.

This morning, Lu Mingshan had crystal shrimp dumplings, bird's nest mushrooms, three-fresh noodles and several snacks in front of him.

Lu Mingshan ate with satisfaction.

Where has he eaten such delicious food before?

Also, this is the palace!

Who among the people in this world doesn't want to visit the palace? Anyway, Lu Mingshan is

Thought.

Sleeping in the palace, eating delicacies cooked in the imperial kitchen, chatting with the empress in the palace... this life is really wonderful.

The only pity is that his apprentice is not here.

Seeing Lu Qingxi, Lu Mingshan suddenly tensed up.

However, Lu Qingxi had a servant with him...Lu Mingshan still maintained his superior demeanor: "Good morning, Eunuch Lu."

"Good morning, Director Lu." Lu Qingxi said, then looked at the people around him: "I have something to say to Director Lu alone. You guys go out first."

Hearing this, all the servants who were serving him left.

Lu Qingxi looked at Lu Mingshan at this time: "Master Lu, in a few days the emperor would like to ask you to read someone's face."

Lu Mingshan said very politely: "What does Mr. Lu want me to say?"

Lu Qing said happily: "You should have guessed what I want you to do. When the time comes, you can tell the emperor that that person is Longzi, the emperor's son, and that person will be blessed with great fortune and good fortune."

These words again... Lu Mingshan immediately said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely handle things beautifully!"

"That's natural. If you don't handle things well, you may not be able to keep the head on your shoulders!" Lu Qingxi smiled slightly.

Lu Qingxi's smile looked terrifying, and Lu Mingshan couldn't help but tremble.

Lu Qingxi was very satisfied with Lu Mingshan's reaction: "You can think more about what to say specifically. In short, you must make the emperor believe that he is the prince."

Lu Qingxi asked: "Father, who is that person?"

"It's Li Qingzhi." Lu Qingxi investigated Lu Mingshan and knew that Lu Mingshan followed the Shen family's fleet to Beijing.

At that time, Lu Mingshan was traveling on a boat belonging to Du Yongning, another scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam, and had contact with Li Qingzhi.

Lu Mingshan knew Li Qingzhi.

"Li Qingzhi?" Lu Mingshan's pupils shrank.

He knew that Lu Qingxi wanted to create a fake prince, but he did not expect that the person Lu Qingxi chose would be Li Qingzhi.

Does Li Qingzhi know about this?

Li Qingzhi should know, otherwise he wouldn't have found him.

The courage of these people is really too great and unbelievable!

"Have you seen his face before?" Lu Qingxi asked.

"I've seen it," Lu Mingshan said.

"Then you can say that his appearance has changed now and has become beyond words." Lu Qingxi explained to Lu Mingshan before leaving.

Lu Mingshan let out a sigh of relief as he waited for Lu Qingxi to leave.

At the same time, Qi Jun was taking a bath and talking to Li Qingzhi: "Yesterday, I asked the imperial doctor to check my pulse. The imperial doctor said that my health is much better."

"That's natural! I am a miracle doctor. If I treat you, you will be cured of your illness." Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

He was a joker, and he had restrained himself in front of Qi Jun before, but now he found that Qi Jun had a good temper and was close to him, so he relaxed a lot.

Qi Jun just likes others to treat him like this! He told Li Qingzhi about Concubine Liu again: "Aman really wants to see you, and even wants to leave the palace with me today, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she has many things to do as a concubine, so she can't get out, and An'an also Miss you very much..."

Li Qingzhi listened carefully, said a few words from time to time, and gave Qi Jun a massage.

When Qi Jun came out of the tub after taking the medicated bath, he felt comfortable all over: "This medicated bath is so comfortable!"

Li Qingzhi smiled and said nothing. Recently, he had been helping Qi Jun take a medicinal bath. Could Qi Jun be uncomfortable?

When he first met Qi Jun, Qi Jun was in a state where he could die at any time. After his treatment during this period, Qi Jun can now live a few more years.

However, Qi Jun's health is still very poor, and it will take at least half a year to fully recover.

Take your time, don't rush.

Thinking like this, Li Qing said: "Uncle Liu, I can help him find a solution for An An's eyes. Maybe they can be cured. The same goes for your eyes."

"Can my eyes be cured?" Qi Jun was shocked.

Qi Jun suffers from cataracts, so he can't see clearly.

In modern times, this is not a serious disease and can be cured by surgery.

Li Qingzhi is not a surgeon, but he can use his golden fingers to perform "operation" on Qi Jun.

With this in mind, Li Qingzhi told Qi Jun about the condition of Qi Jun's eyes in detail, and finally said: "Uncle Liu, if you believe me, I can use silver needles to try to treat your eyes."

"I believe you." Qi Jun did not hesitate.

Li Qing insisted: "In a few days, I will help Uncle Liu treat one eye first. If there is no problem, I will help Uncle Liu treat the other eye."

"Okay." Qi Jun agreed, and then remembered something: "By the way, Ah Qing, Taoist Lu is in the palace. How many days will it take for me to ask him to show you your face?"

"Okay." Li Qingzhi agreed.

Let Lu Mingshan show his face?

I don't know if he can get in touch with Lu Mingshan before that...

If possible, he wanted Lu Mingshan to cooperate with him and perform another play.

Of course, in that case, Lu Mingshan's hair would also have to be white.

Lu Mingshan shouldn't object?

Li Qingzhi thought of this and spoke again: "Speaking of which, Taoist Master Lu and I know each other." He briefly talked about Lu Mingshan's coming to Beijing with them.

These are not secrets, and there is no point in keeping them secret.

While the two were talking, they went to the east wing to teach a few children.

Qi Jun especially liked watching Li Qingzhi teach the children. This scene was really heartwarming.

But during the lecture, he always felt that he had forgotten something.

In the palace, Dr. Hu was thinking about his letter - he didn't know if the emperor had shown his letter to the miracle doctor.
