Chapter 341 The Prince's Filial Piety

The queen was lying on the couch for seven days before she got up. She looked so energetic that she was better. When Zhang Changzong came to pay her respects in the morning, she helped her get up from the couch and didn't dare to go out. She was afraid of the cold wind, so she walked in the hall.

"Young people are strong. If you ask Liulang to support me, I almost don't have to use my own strength."

The queen gradually recovered, she was in a good mood, and was in a good mood. Zhang Changzong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that's because I am extremely strong. Just praise me directly. Don't praise young people. Not every young person is as strong as me."

The queen turned her head and asked him, "How many strong bows can you draw with such a boastful self-proclaimed person?"

Zhang Changzong said: "It's just four stones. Sorry, I'm disappointed His Majesty and I can't get six stones."

The queen laughed: "A strong bow is more than three stones. A powerful man with six stones is rare. Liulang, you are already a young talent who can dig four stones. Why do you still demean yourself so much?"

Zhang Changzong grinned and said, "Isn't this the master taught me to be humble!"

Shangguan Wan'er, who had been silent next to her, glared at her apprentice and said with a smile: "I have taught you so much for my teacher, why do you only remember this sentence today?"

Zhang Changzong said with confidence: "Isn't this the most appropriate sentence now?"

"loquacious!"

The master and apprentice habitually fought a few words, and the queen looked at her with a smile. Zhang Changzong heard her breathing sound slightly thicker, so he helped her walk back and helped the queen sit back on the Arhat couch. Shangguan Wan'er immediately brought a bowl of soup and served the queen to drink it. The two masters and apprentices cooperated very well.

After drinking the soup, the queen felt warm in her belly and seemed to be more energetic, so she asked Zhang Changzong: "There are many people entering and leaving the East Palace these days?"

Zhang Changzong paused for a moment, and Shangguan Wan'er seemed to have not heard of it, and ignored it. Zhang Changzong had no choice but to say, "When you go back to Your Majesty, there are naturally many people who pay tribute to you. However, the prince has already closed his door to thank the guests. Except for the officials in the Eastern Palace, he has never seen any foreign ministers."

"Thank you behind closed doors?"

The queen gently spit out four words as if chewing, murmured: "There is such a clever time for Lao Qi... Has a new counselor entered his side?"

This was difficult to answer. Zhang Chang Zongquan pretended that he didn't hear it. Silence was golden. The queen didn't ask him, and she didn't know what she thought. She was waiting for the time of taking medicine. Princess Taiping came to ask for a meeting. Since the queen was ill, she had entered the palace every day.

"Taiping is coming just right. Come here, I have something to ask you."

Princess Taiping was surprised, but did not dare to hesitate, and immediately stepped forward: "Please give me advice."

The queen said, "I heard that the prince kept his door and thanked the guests and never met with foreign ministers. Did you teach this idea?"

Princess Taiping's face was not as fake, and she also said in surprise: "What happened? Report to the Queen Mother, except for entering the palace to visit her mother in the past few days, my daughter has never had time to go to the East Palace. Even if she wants to give advice for the prince, she has no way to get out."

The queen knew that she was busy marrying her daughter. He nodded and stopped asking. Princess Taiping quietly coveted her mother's face and whispered: "Mother Queen, the prince is no longer the age of being young and frivolous, and today is different from the past. How could he not make any progress? How could he still be so confused?"

The queen snorted, disagreed: "For him, we could even give Wei Xuanzhen the world to the world, and regard the world's major affairs as a joke. Now we are obedient... and the prince is here."

"Here."

The palace maid just responded and didn't want to leave it back immediately and reported: "Your Majesty, the prince has been waiting in the side palace to copy the scriptures and pray for your Majesty."

"Um?"

The queen couldn't hide her surprise: "What's going on?"

Zhang Changzong then interrupted, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I will know a little bit. Over the years, the prince often came to the side palace early in the morning and did not return to the East Palace until he finished his service."

"What is this?"

The queen looked puzzled. Zhang Changzong bowed and said, "I don't know."

He could not send someone to follow the prince. The queen frowned and directly sent someone to pass the prince in. As soon as Li Xian came in, he immediately looked surprised and asked happily: "I pay homage to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's complexion is better today than yesterday. I think it is because the dragon body is recovering. This is really a gratifying thing."

A joy is not like a false statement.

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled on her face. However, the angle Zhang Changzong stood could see the calmness in her eyes. The queen said, "The prince is intent. The eunuch just said back and forth, "What are you doing when you are always alone in the side hall?"

The prince said respectfully: "Go back to the Queen Mother, my son copied the scriptures and prayed for the Queen Mother in the side hall. In the past, the Queen Mother's body was healthy, but the son didn't feel anything. This time, the Queen Mother's health was poor and he was resting on the bed. The son was shocked to realize that the Queen Mother's position was in the heart. The Queen Mother's heart was incompetent and could not relieve the pain of the Queen Mother's illness. Thinking of the Queen Mother's belief in Buddhism, the son had to burn incense and bathe, and sincerely copy the scriptures and pray for the Queen Mother's blessing, hoping that the Buddha would bless the Queen's mother's body as soon as possible. Today, seeing the Queen Mother's complexion is so good, isn't it that the Buddha heard his son's wish?!"

The queen smiled and nodded with relief: "The prince is intent. If you were like this in the past, why would this be between you and me, mother and son?"

Li Xian's eyes were slightly wet and said emotionally: "The Queen Mother's words are not bad. My son used to be frivolous, but he still didn't know anything even though he was old. He ignored his mother's wishes. In the fourteen years in Fangling, he realized the Queen Mother's love and love, and understood the Queen Mother's heart. In the past, the son was unfilial, so I asked the Queen Mother to punish him!"

As he said that, he actually knelt down. The queen narrowed her eyes and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She didn't say anything, and said, "Forget it, let's go through the past, Liulang, help the prince up for me."

"Here."

Zhang Changzong went over to help: "Your Highness, the ground is cold, be careful not to hurt your legs, please take care of your highness."

"If you have time, General Zhang, you don't need to help me. I will kowtow to the Queen Mother."

As he said that, he kowtowed hard and said gratefully: "It is the right thing for me to do these small things. If the mother does not blame me, it is my blessing."

After kowtowing, the Queen stood up. She looked at the scriptures he copied today, using regular script, and every word and stroke could tell the writer's intention and seriousness. The Queen's face cleared a little, and she couldn't help but praise the prince with a few words, which made the prince's face flush and looked excited.

In the end, Princess Taiping came out to rescue the excited prince, which did not make a good thing turn into a bad thing that was disrespectful because the prince was too excited.

"Okay, sit down. I ask you, are there many ministers in the East Palace recently?"

The queen asked inadvertently. Li Xian looked puzzled: "Why did the Queen Mother ask this? I'm sure that my son has not been with his subordinates for several days. If he had not been together for several days before he copied the scriptures and prayed for blessings, he could say that there were no more people. Is there any change in the past few days? I still need to go back and check it."

Princess Taiping said: "Brother Seven is confused these days. He was the most careful in the past. Today, I am afraid that I am worried about the condition of the Queen Mother?"

Li Xian smiled gratefully: "It's still Ah Mei who knows me."

The queen looked at the brother and sister indifferently, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's just a trivial matter."

The mother and son spoke in a rare and kind manner. After asking what they wanted to know, the empress asked the prince to go back, but the copy of the scriptures was left behind. She ordered Mo Chengan on the spot: "When the prince finished copying, directly offer the scriptures to Chongfu Temple, so that Bodhi Liuzhi could do a good job and not let the prince down."

"Here."

Prince Li Xian seemed to have really gotten open. Although he still acted like an honest person, he became much more sincere. Although his relationship with the queen was not unprecedentedly harmonious, it also eased a lot. He was no longer as embarrassed and uneasy as in the past when "a mouse saw a cat" and became much more natural.

The queen is happy to see such a situation. Only when the emperor and the prince have a harmonious relationship can the court be stable. Seeing that the prince is now much more obedient, the queen will praise the prince from time to time when she is in the court. However, when she praises the prince, she will always bring the prime minister a little. Although, among the ten words, at least seven of them are about the prince, and at most two or three words will mention the prime minister.
