Actually, Zhang shi didn't have any intentions. She just thought that Hu Shan Xiang was pretty good looking.
In addition, Zhan Shi had already prepared a concubine for him, and Zhu Zhanji was also an adult, so he wanted to keep an eye on him.
Crown Prince Manor.
After Han Wang and the others left, Zhu Gaochi teased the puppy in his arms for a while. After he was satisfied, he walked over to Zhu Zhanxin.
When he went over, Zhu Zhanxin was still cultivating.
Sensing that someone was approaching, Zhu Zhan Xin slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Zhu Gaochi's smiling face, his expression instantly turned ugly.
"Father, why are you here again?"
"Zhanchen, I didn't want anything to eat, I sent someone to bring it to you.”
"Come on, Dad, just say what you want.”
Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly.
"It's like this. Dad, I feel that this immortal technique is still a little slow recently. I want you to give me a few more of those medicinal pills?”
"No, I only refined one batch and gave it all to you.”
Zhu Zhanxin spread his hands.
"Dad, that pill isn't a pill that can increase cultivation. You've already absorbed qi into your body, so what's the point of using it?”
Zhu Zhanyan was somewhat speechless.
"I'm in a hurry. I'll give Dad two pills and let me try.”
"Alright, there's nothing else besides this, right?”
"No, no, no more."
Zhu Gaochi smiled and shook his head.
"Just you wait. When I'm done, I'll send someone to call you.”
"Alright, then I won't disturb you anymore.”
Since his goal was achieved, Zhu Gaochi didn't stay any longer.
On the way back, Zhu Gaochi walked back with a face full of joy. In his heart, he was already happily fantasizing about the future.
After a period of time, the old man would relent, and he would be able to let Zhang shi cultivate the immortal technique together.
Zhang shi was Zhan Xi's biological mother after all. No matter how Zhu Di hid it, he would not avoid her.
In this way, their family could be considered immortals.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Crown Prince, Master Yang Qiyang is here.”
A guard stepped forward and said.
Zhu Gaochi frowned when he heard the news. Why was he here?
Yang Shiqi was the chief of the cabinet. He must have something important to do if he came to his place at this time.
At the thought of this, his previous good mood instantly disappeared.
"Go, bring Lord Yang to the main hall.”
Zhu Gaochi ordered.
Soon, when he arrived at the main hall, he saw Yang Shiqi waiting anxiously.
"Your Highness, you're finally here.”
When Yang Shiqi saw him, it was as if he had seen his backbone.
"What happened?”
Zhu Gaochi was still confused.
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi looked around carefully.
"There are no Pang people here. If you have something to say, say it.”
Seeing Yang Shiqi's misgivings, Zhu Gaochi quickly spoke.
"Your Highness, then I'll be frank. How's the emperor's dragon body recently?”
"Yang Shiqi, you said that you are the chief assistant of the cabinet and are speculating about the emperor's dragon body for no reason.”
Zhu Gaochi looked at him angrily.
"Sigh, Your Highness has misunderstood.”
Yang Shiqi sighed.
"What exactly happened?"
Zhu Gaochi also noticed something. This was not like Yang Shiqi's usual behavior.
"Your Highness, do you know what has happened recently? The Emperor hasn't been to court for several days, and the memorials he has submitted have yet to be approved.”
"We ministers are truly worried, so we specially came today to ask how the emperor is doing.”
Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and understood.
The old master must have been so engrossed in cultivating the immortal technique that he had forgotten about the affairs of the imperial court. This was why the officials in the court were worried.
He held his forehead and didn't know how to answer.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Ah, it's fine, don't think too much. The emperor is very stable, his body is even tougher than mine.”
Zhu Gaochi smiled, indicating that he did not need to worry.
"Then when will the Emperor go to court?"
"I'm not sure about that either.”
Zhu Gaochi shook his head. How would he know that?
"Your Highness, I can't explain this to the important officials in the court.”
Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly.
"Why don't you go and ask her?"
Yang Shiqi sized him up carefully.
"Alright, I'll go ask."
Zhu Gaochi also understood that if he did not go, Yang Shiqi and the others would definitely not be at ease.
After receiving Zhu Gaochi's response, Yang Shiqi was obviously relieved.
…
In the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Di sat cross-legged on the futon. He opened his bloodshot eyes and sighed.
He had failed again. How many days had it been? He had already eaten several medicinal pills.
But every time, he was just a little bit away. Just when he thought that he would definitely succeed next time…
The barrier blocked him mercilessly once again.
Zhu Zhanji had come to visit him a few times, and he had seen Zhu Zhanji's current situation.
Thinking that Zhu Zhanji could already control fire, and he was still stuck in front of the goal, he was very upset.
Recently, he didn't even care about the matters of the royal court.
"Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience.”
The chief eunuch's shout came from the door.
Zhu Di exhaled slowly.
"Let him come in, let him come in."
Zhu Gaochi came in and was stunned when he saw Zhu Di's condition on the chair.
"Father, what's wrong?”
Zhu Gaochi looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well.”
Zhu Di waved his hand.
"By the way, how's the refinement of your immortal technique going?”
Zhu Di asked.
"That father, it's not like you don't know about my body. How can there be any progress?”
Zhu Gaochi smiled. He didn't feel embarrassed. After all, his aptitude was there.
But he wasn't worried about being the chief of the house. Since Zhu Zhanyi was there, he couldn't possibly not help him, his father.
"I see."
Zhu Di rubbed his fingers.
"Father, that Yang Shiqi came to me today. He said that he wanted to know when you would go to court. Everyone in the court is very worried.”
Zhu Gaochi sized up Zhu Di's expression.
"Court."
Zhu Di raised his head and sighed. Then, he looked at Zhu Gaochi, and his eyes suddenly became firm.
"Speaking of this, Crown Prince, you should come and supervise the country.”
Zhu Gaochi was stunned.
"Father, this, why is this?”
It was possible for the Crown Prince to oversee the country, but this situation clearly did not require him. In the past, Zhu Di personally led troops to the Northern Expedition. Only when there was no one in the court did he manage the country.
However, Zhu Di was in the palace. If he was allowed to supervise the country, what would the ministers think?
"I've also thought it through. These few days, I've been restless because of these things. I might as well leave these things to you so that I can cultivate the immortal technique in peace.”
As he spoke, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi with a relaxed expression as if he had just dropped a burden.
"Crown Prince, I'm old too. I want to live a few more years.”
With these words, how could Zhu Chi dare to refuse?
"S-son, I accept your decree."
Zhu Gaochi had a helpless look on his face. He had agreed to let Zhu Di attend the court, but in the end, this mess was thrown at him.
Now, he had to think about how to tell the ministers about this.
Thinking of this gave him a headache.
